Pastor Paul Oman was blessed with the talent to paint. Now, he uses that talent to spread the
message of the Gospel. Photo provided.

Jesus painted pictures in the
minds of people by the stories he
told. Thousands of years later,
people are still visual in nature, and
the mind’s eye creates a scene for
the things that are talked about.
Pastor Paul Oman, like Jesus,
paints a picture in the mind’s of
people, only literally, rather than
through verbal story-telling skilss.
Oman began drawing and painting
as a child. In his adult years, he
found a way to use his gift from God
to spread the Gospel in a unique,
memorable, and powerful way - by
painting larger-than-life murals in
front of a live audience.
During the one-hour free
presentation, Oman brings the Word
of God to life right before your very
eyes as you see the painting develop
into a story, hear the music, and
listen to the scripture.
It’s been said from audiences
that there is an “ah-huh” moment
when you begin to see the picture
develop.
Small children are
intrigued, wanting to see, learn,
and hear more about the story he
is painting. A visual connection is
made for both young and old alike.
This experience is like none
other that you have witnessed
before. It truly is an amazing way

Weekly Update:
Harvest is here and yields
appear to be well above trendline. However, while a cool
growing season with timely
rains usually equates to large
yields, it also contributes to diseases. Keep an eye out in
your corn fields especially, as
crown rot and anthracnose
are everwhere and taking a
toll on standability.

By
Eagle Grove Police Chief Ray
Beltran presented Michael Stuckey
for approval as the seventh officer for
the department at this past Monday’s
City Council meeting. The Council
gave approval for the hiring. Stuckey
is an Eagle Grove native, and has
most recently been employed at the
Fort Dodge Correctional Facility.
He has been training for about seven
months already, but still needs to
attend the academy. Stuckey was then
sworn in by Mayor Sandra McGrath.
“We’re excited for his new role with
our department,” said Beltran.
The Council approved, by
motion, a special request to allow
Sarah Schaefer to have a miniature
pony on her North Washington
property. “The City Code does
not permit livestock within city
limits,” said McGrath in opening the
discussion. She then turned things
over to City Attorney Brett Legvold.
“This is defined as an emotional
support animal, and according to the
Fair Housing Act her request can, and
should be, accommodated. The pony
cannot run at large or keep neighbors
up at night.” While one Council
member had slight reservations, the

motion still carried unanimously.
Under department reports,
Beltran stated that officer Garrett
Quintus will be starting the DARE
program at the middle school shortly
after the first of next year. “The school
is excited about bringing this back,”
said the Chief. Public Works Director
Robert Lunda said that the overall
appearance of the DD#94 waterway
is much better following most of it
being mowed. City Administrator
Mike Boyd informed the Council
about the increasing problem of
dealing with lime sludge removal.
“It gets more expensive every year,”
said Boyd. He is looking at possible
options to address the issue.
In other action the Council:
-set the date of November 2 for a
public hearing on the Urban Renewal
Plan amendment. This is needed to
allow for TIF initiatives for Gold Eagle
Co-op’s new truck wash on Highway
17 on the north edge of the city. It
would be held prior to consideration
of a proposed agreement;
-approved beer/liquor licenses for
Rails Bar & Grill and Eagle Bowl;
-approved building permits
for Ron Gustafson (concrete pad),
David JeanBlank (garage), Julie
Abbott (deck replacement) and David
Anderson (wood shed).
Engineer sharing agreement
with Hancock approved
Kacey Ginn
[email protected]
At their regular meeting on
Monday, the board of supervisors
passed Resolution 2015-25, which
approves the Wright-Hancock
County engineer sharing agreement.
Adam Clemons, Wright County
engineer, will now be dividing his
time between the two counties and
serving them both.
Both counties looked over
the agreement separately and had
it approved by their respective
attorneys. They then held a joint
conference call to talk over final
details and vote to approve. Clemons
said that details Hancock wanted
to include in the agreement were
Clemons’s responsibilities, including
doing employee evaluations, which
Clemons already does in Wright
County. The agreement will renew
automatically after six months
unless annulled.
“If we think it’s going well,
we’ll keep going with it,” Clemons
said. Clemons also said he had seen
engineer sharing work when he
was an intern in Butler and Hart
counties, so he was familiar with
the approach.
“I think we’ll be seeing more
sharing like this. I think it’s good
for both counties,” Supervisor
Watne said, commenting that
the arrangement worked well for
rural Iowa, since both counties
have the potential to save money
due to dividing compensation for
the position. The agreement will
save Wright $52,000 annually,
according to Board Chairman Karl
Helgevold.
During the conference call,
David Solheim, Hancock County
attorney, said the “most complicated
and least important” part of the
agreement was vehicle sharing and
mileage compensation, but that it
had been worked out satisfactorily.
“I think Adam and I reached an
agreement on most of the issues you
guys had wanted us to look into,” he
said.
“There’s going to be items we’ll
critique, obviously, if this keeps
going, and we’ll just see where we
can find efficiencies,” Clemons
said.
One improvement suggested
by Hancock was that, rather than
spending every other Friday in
the different counties as planned,
Clemons could make Monday his
alternate work day. That way, he
wouldn’t have to travel to get to both
supervisors’ meetings on Monday
mornings and could simply plan
ahead as to what business would
need to be discussed at the meetings
he attended. The Wright supervisors
thought this was a good idea.
Supervisor Ron Sweers moved
to approve the resolution in Hancock
County, which was seconded by
Supervisor Sis Greiman. Supervisor
Rick Rasmussen motioned and
Watne seconded in Wright County.
The motion was approved.
Another change in county
positions is that of Jeremy Abbas,
who is officially being instated as
planning and zoning commissioner.
“He seems to enjoy it. Wants
to make sure everything’s being
taken care of properly,” Clemons
said of Abbas. The county intends
to get further formal training for
Abbas and to supply him with
accurate zoning maps. Abbas’s
contact number will still be in the
engineer’s office.
The board also briefly discussed
Resolution 2015-24, which allows
businesses to purchase private
activity bonds with Wright County
as the conduit issuer. The resolution
had been approved two weeks
before, but Bryce Davis, county
economic development director,
said the wording was still being
revised. “We want it to be a case-bycase, and we want the county to not
be obligated for anything,” Davis
said of the legal considerations
involved.

The Eagle Grove Homecoming Parade has become a grand
tradition to celebrate the week’s festivities. While athletes and
groups always prepare a float, some community members do
as well, like the EGHS Class of 1995 who had a fun time riding
down the streets of Eagle Grove, saying “Hello” to familiar faces.
Sandy Muzey and the EGHS Chorale Department also had a
float advertising their upcoming production of “Mary Poppins.”

Class of ‘55 holds 60th reunion
The Class of 1955 celebrated their 60th anniversary on Friday, Sept. 25
and 26, 2015. Twenty-four gathered for a picnic supper at the home of Ken
Mersch, where they not only visited with each other, but several visited via
telephone with Bill Morgan in California. Fifteen classmates had coffee,
hosted by Susan Erickson, on Saturday morning. A buffet supper was served
at the Eagle Grove Country Club on Saturday evening.
Class President, Susan Haviland Erickson, welcomed everyone. There
were 35 present. Bells were rung in memory of 20 deceased classmates as
their names were read by Vice President Janet Jeanblanc Adams. Secretary
Don Halverson shared letters from those unable to attend. Treasurer Jim
Nelson of Reston, Va., was also present. A corsage was given to Homecoming
Queen Joanne Hinrichson Pohlman.
The first reservation to come in was from Margieann Jergenson Voss.
Daryl Kuehnast from Summerfield, Fla., came the greatest distance. Jerry
Bernard won the randon drawing. Ronda McVicker Cox from Aiken, S.C.,
was the person with the least changes with one dental implant.
A “healthy” dessert of Hershey Kisses in dark chocolate or with almonds
was available in school colors to be consumed as people continued to visit,
looked at pictures and scrapbooks, and made additional memories.
Classmates also attended from Colorado, Florida, South Carolina, and
Viginia.
Schedules for the monthly lunches in 2015 were distributed. The next
luncheon date is Oct. 29 at the Family Table.

Dorothy J. Helgevold, 92, Eagle Grove
Dorothy
Jean
(Newcomb)
Helgevold, the daughter of Edwin
and Edna (Wood) Newcomb, was
born on May 17, 1923, twin sister of
Don, on a farm southeast of Eagle
Grove. She was raised and educated
in the area of her birth, graduating
from Eagle Grove High School in
1941, and then attended Eagle Grove
Junior College. Dorothy taught
country school for one year.
On June 20, 1943, Dorothy was
united in marriage to Carroll S.
Helgevold. The couple made their
home on a farm northeast of Eagle
Grove. They retired from farming
in 1981 and moved to Chapel Hill,
N.C., in 1985, where she worked
for Blue Cross Blue Shield before
moving to Vero Beach, Fla., in 1993.
Carroll preceded her in death on
October 2, 1995. Dorothy remained
in Florida until 2001 when she
moved to Huntington Beach, Calif.
Dorothy served as a non-medical
volunteer for BCBS and in hospitals
for over 15 years.
Dorothy loved traveling each year
to see her children, grandchildren,
and great-grandchildren, and when
she was not able to see them in
person she would keep up with
them on Facebook and Skype. She
also enjoyed embroidering quilts
and kitchen towels, and watching
Dorothy Helgevold
College (North Carolina) and NBA
basketball (Lakers).
Dorothy passed away on Thursday,
September 24, 2015, at the age of 92

Chairman Helgevold called the regular
meeting of the Wright County Board of
Supervisors to order at 9 a.m. Members
present were Watne, Rasmussen, and

from May 18, 2015, and explained that at the
previous meeting the Board of Supervisors
acting as Trustees for DD #35, on motion
dismissed all improvement options due to
lack of desirability to proceed. The Board
discussed the process of notification and felt
that a continued hearing should have taken
place at that time to let landowners have a right
to attend. Thus, the continued hearing today.
After some discussion of the options, there
was a motion by Rasmussen, and seconded by
Helgevold, to dismiss all improvement options
due to the lack of desirability for the following
reasons: agriculture economic uncertainty,
members of the district will not receive
any substantial benefit from a very costly
improvement, and there is a more reasonable
alternative access to the creek at the lower
end of the district from the property receiving
the most benefit should this improvement
proceed. Motion carried.
Motion by Watne, and seconded by
Rasmussen, to adjourn the meeting. Motion
carried.

The new 2016 Hagie DTS10 from Hagie Mfg. features
a lightweight, yet rugged design and delivers the next
generation of applicators a state-of-the-art machine
designed with the capability to widen the application
window and maximize productivity. For more info, visit

Hagie Manufacturing introduces
new 2016 DTS10 for the next
generation of applicators
Hagie Mfg. has introduced
to the market the newest and
most innovative member of its
product family, the 2016 DTS10.
Designed for the next generation
of applicators, this lightweight,
yet rugged self-propelled sprayer
delivers to the market a stateof-the-art
machine
designed
with the capability to widen the
application window and maximize
productivity. The smallest applicator within
the family owned manufacturer’s
product lineup, the new 2016
DTS10 packages a high clearance
frame and 1,000 gallon solution
capacity within one of the
industry’s lightest weight and most
well balanced machine designs.
Over the past two decades,
applicators have become an
increasingly
vital
piece
of
production agriculture. Within
this timeframe, the industry has
experienced adoption trends toward
larger, yet significantly heavier,
equipment solutions to meet
developing demands for enhanced
productivity.
In recent years, Hagie Mfg.
deliberated on the creation of an
ultimate sprayer for the evolving
industry needs of the next decade.
This machine design would
definitively be encompassing of
key industry drivers including
being weight, balance, capacity,
application speed, boom width,
grade ability, maneuverability,
precision compatibility, safety,
price and comfort.
“When evaluating the mid-sized
self-propelled
sprayer
market,
customers made clear the desire
for a low weight, balanced
machine that is compact and
maneuverable; all while staying
highly productive and lower cost
than larger commercial sprayers,”
stated Newt Lingenfelter, Senior
Product Manager. “The 2016
DTS10 by design has a perfectly
balanced, lightweight frame that
carries a low center of mass, thus
making it compact and easy to
maneuver in tight areas. It also
features many of the high end
options that in the past were
only available on the larger units,
such as all wheel steer, auto fold,
a premium cab, as well as all
precision capabilities.”
Featuring a high clearance
design and narrow crop package,
the new 2016 DTS10 compliments
the company’s innovative STS
product line through being well
suited for application from early
spring clear through late season.
This 1000 gallon dual tank unit
weighs in at a notable 18,500
pounds, while offering one of
the best weight splits and centers
of gravity on the market for
exceptional capability to perform
in the most adverse conditions or
terrain. Featuring a new 90’ boom,
drive and auxiliary hydraulic
system, the 2016 DTS10 equips
operators with functionalities that
sprayers in higher classes offer for
maximum profit potential.
The luxurious application-specific
cab is the largest in class, while
offering the ergonomics and the
same amenities as the STS model
line to provide the best operator
experience possible. The large
cab and redesigned boom provide
optimal visibility whether in the
field or in transport. Maximize
efficiency of the new 2016 DTS10
with popular options such as All
Wheel Steer, Auto- Fold and a
Reversing Fan. Combining these
features with the attractive price
point, the 2016 DTS10 easily
sets a new standard as the most
innovative applicator within the
mid-sized sprayer market today.
Hagie Mfg., located in Clarion,
Iowa, optimizes our customers’

Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics
offering seasonal flu shots
Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics
has seasonal flu shots available and
is encouraging all individuals to
receive the vaccine. Flu shot are
available during normal clinic hours,
Monday – Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
and do not require an appointment.
In addition, the Belmond Clinic
will hold two special flu shot clinics
during the same business hours on
October 20th & 23rd. The cost is
covered by Medicare, $25.00 if paid
at the time of service, or may be
billed to your insurance provider.
Flu viruses are always changing.
Each year’s flu vaccine is made to
protect against 3 or 4 viruses that are
likely to cause disease that year, and
are based on research that indicates
what will be most common during
the upcoming flu season.
Iowa Specialty Hospital offers
what is referred to as a “quadrivalent”
vaccine. The quadrivalent vaccine
protects against influenza A (H1N1)
virus, influenza A (H3N2), and two
influenza B viruses. This flu vaccine
does not contain any live influenza
virus. All flu shots take about two
weeks for protection to develop after
the vaccination.
Every flu season is different, and
influenza infection can affect people
differently. Even healthy people can
get very sick from the flu and spread
it to others. Every year thousands
of people in the United States die
from the flu and many more are
hospitalized. The typical seasonal
flu runs from October through May.
The flu is caused by influenza
viruses and is spread mainly by
coughing, sneezing, and close
contact with infected individuals.
Symptoms can last for several days
and may include: fever/chills, sore
throat, muscle aches, fatigue, cough,
headache, and runny or stuffy nose.
Anyone can get the flu, but the risk
is highest among children, pregnant
women, people who are 65 years or
older, individuals with compromised
immune systems, and people with
certain health conditions, such as
heart, lung or kidney disease. It
is especially important for these
individuals to receive the flu
vaccination.
While the influenza vaccination
cannot prevent all cases of the flu,
it is the best defense against the
disease. Make sure you receive your
flu vaccination this year to protect
yourself and your loved ones.

Joel Tenney, young energetic man
from Kalona, Iowa, is coming to
Fort Dodge on Saturday, October 17,

During Joel’s younger years
his parents and many others had a
plan for Joel’s future. Joel, being
raised in a family with 15 siblings,
homeschooled, limited luxuries;
was able to share, and even agree
with the plans that others felt he was
predestined for.
But…another plan was in the
making, about to unfold!
Does God speak to us today?
As God spoke to Abraham, God is
speaking to Joel; as God is speaking
to Joel, He desires to speak to you!
Come to the Fort Dodge Public
Library, 424 Central Ave., in Ft.
Dodge, to get encouraged.
Joining Joel will be Pam and
Sarah Evans. They will share their
musical talents and how they have a
significant role in “HIS” plans.

Marching
Eagles
Letter to the Editor:
Marilyn and I, along with a number
of Eagle Grove fans, attended Algona
Band Days. I believe there were 22
bands from Iowa and Minnesota.
The Marching Eagles did a great
job of representing Eagle Grove
School and Eagle Grove. Their
placing in their division was a
strong second, a few points behind
Sheldon, Iowa. Sheldon has 85
band members, and Eagle Grove has
around 35. Clarion band was third
behind Eagle Grove.
The new uniforms arrived
Friday late afternoon, not in time
for Homecoming night. The new
uniforms were used in the Algona
Band Days. They have a rich purple
look to them. The band members
loved their new uniforms and were
proud to wear them.
The bands played and marched by
the Judging Stand and were judged.
The Marching Eagles did a movement
in front of the judges while playing.
This shows confidence in the band
to do something besides marching
by. One of the judges comments
was, “They sound like a big band
with only 35 members.” This means
each band member has to play with
confidence and really lay it out there
and still stay in tune. The Drill Team
out in front of the band looked great.
In fact, I would put them up against
any team in the parade.
Be proud Eagle Grove. You have
a great group of kids representing
you.
Marilyn and I are very proud of
this band.
The band directors, Justin and
Luke, are doing a great job.

Why 4-H?
By Kim Demory
[email protected]
4-H has been encouraging youth
development for more than 100
years. Now, with over six million
youth and adults working together to
promote leadership through handson experience, 4-H continues to
empower individuals to reach their
full potential.
Both boys and girls are welcome
to join in on the fun when they begin
fourth grade.
Participation can
continue through their senior year.
While the county fair is the highlight
of any 4-H member’s year, there is
a lot to be learned and discovered
along the way.
Several different clubs exist
within Wright County. Youth can
choose a club based on location,
age, or even special interest. Most
of these clubs usually meet once a
month. After general business is
conducted, there often times is a
learning or social session.
Participating in 4-H also has it’s
other benefits. Depending on age,
Volunteers make it possible
by Kim demory
[email protected]
4-H Programs in Wright County are as strong
as ever, especially in Eagle Grove where the Wright
Warriors have seen growth in their memerbships for
the past several years.
With the new year just underway, that number is
looking like it could grow again.
The Wright Warriors are under new leadership
this year. While former leader, Phyllis Larson, is still
helping out in a transition year, Bryan and Allison
Whaley have stepped up to take the lead this year.
Both have extensive backgrounds in 4-H (see their
article on this page) and they are very excited about
what the new 4-H year holds for this group of kids.
There are also volunteer parents who regularly
offer assistance in a variety of capacities, from
bringing food and drinks, to chairing committees, to
working at county events like 4-H Fun Night and the
Wright County Fair.
Community volunteers come through as well.
They offer workshops in their field of interest and
expertise. Just in the past years, Wright Warriors
have had the opportunity to learn about rabbits, make
jewelry, try their hand at photography, bake...and
that’s just to mention a few. All of this was possible
thanks to people who have an interest in helping kids
learn.
This is only a handful of the many volunteers who
make 4-H so great in Wright County. The Wright
Warriors are always looking for new people with new
talents to come in and work with the kids. You don’t
have to be an expert. You only need to have a hobby,
and a desire to share your passion with the youth
of Eagle Grove who are eager to try and learn new
things. The club is always looking for new ideas to
share - maybe you could teach them about gardening,
or Martial Arts, robotics, woodworking, or one of a
million other topics. If you would be interested, please
contact her or any 4-H member. The knowledge you
have to offer could open up a world of opportunity for
the youth of this community.
Each year, the Wright Warriors decorate a window in honor of National 4-H Week. This year’s club
members who decorated the window include, from left: Olivia Andersen, Jacie Crutcher, Jaclynn
Demory, and Jensen Cooper. Be sure to stop by the Eagle Grove Eagle window and take a look at
the photos from last years’ activities and details about meeting times. Photo by Kim Demory
youth can go to camp, take trips to
the Omaha Zoo, travel to Chicago
or Washington D.C, and so much
more.
There are also local opportunities
like 4-H Fun Night where all Wright
County 4-Her’s and their families
invite the public to come and join
them in a night of fun and games.
Prizes are given away, raffles are
held, and a reigning 4-H Fun Night
king and queen are crowned to serve
over festivities at Share the Fun and
Fashion Revue at the Wright County
Fair in the summer.

County, please contact Jessica

When the Wright County Fair
rolls around, it’s easy to see what the
4-H kids have been up to - sewing,
woodworking, baking, planting and
growing, drawing...and the list goes
on and on. What’s not so easy to see,
however, is all the things that go on
in 4-H apart from the fair. So, what
better time to highlight those things
than during National 4-H Week.
While the County Fair and the
Iowa State Fair are the highlights
of being in 4-H, there are many
other benefits youth get when they
are involved in 4-H. In addition to
gaining knowledge
about new topics
they may participate
in at the fair, they
also learn about
being a valuable
c o m m u n it y
member.
4-Hers
are encouraged to
get involved in a
variety of things
like visiting with
residents at Rotary
Senior
Living,
donating to the
HOPES program, which helps
individuals and families who are
strugeling, (be it by sending a card,
donating gently loved items, or
purchasing needed supplies), and
working at area events like the Lake
Cornelia Winterfest.
4-Hers also learn about
public speaking. Each member
is encouraged, at some point
throughout the year, to give a
presentation in front of their peers
on a topic of their choice. It could
be small and simple, to introduce
them to public speaking, or it could
be a project that they have completed
for the upcoming fair and chose to
present to get feedback. Either way,
it’s about getting kids comfortable
talking in front of other people, be
it peers or adults.
Still others have used 4-H to
develop their leadership skills.
Members in the past have organized
pillowcases for soldiers, raising
money for the Leader Dogs for
the Blind program, making snack
bags for farmers to hand out during
harvest season, and so much more.
There is also responsibility to
be learned in 4-H. Club members
sign up to bring snacks; to give
presentations; to help on group
projects like window decorating,
float building, and workshops, and
they are expected to
show up and fulfill
their duties; and
some hold offices
where they learn the
correct procedures
of
serving
as
president,
vice
president, secretary,
reporter, treasurer,
and historian. No
matter what they
choose, it’s a life
lesson in doing
what you say you
will do and having it done on time.
4-Hers also learn problemsolving skills. When completing a
project doesn’t go as planned the first
time, they must think of a Plan B. If
they are a member of a team task,
they must learn how to sometimes
be the leader, and sometimes be the
follower.
If being part of the fair, or
learning life-long skills is something
you or your child wants to be a part
of, the Wright Warriors invite you
to join them. They meet the second
Sunday of each month, September
through June, at 4 p.m. in the Samuel
Lutheran Church basement in Eagle
Grove.
Meet the Leaders
by Kim demory
[email protected]
Bryan and Allison Whaley are
excited to be the new co-leaders
of the Wright Warriors 4-H Club.
They bring with them a weath
of experience, and are looking
forward to sharing that knowledge
with club members.
While in 4-H, Bryan was a
State Officer on the 1991 - 1992
State 4-H Council. Allison was a
member of the State 4-H Council
in 1992 - 1993. Both were involved
in the Natiuonal 4-H Congress and
wer involved in a wide variety of
project areas as well.
In September, Bryan and
Allison were honored to be named
4-H Alumni of the Month by the
Iowa 4-H Foundation.
Today, Bryan serves as
the Regional Director for ISU
Extension and Outreach. Allison
continues to volunteer in a variety
of ways, and has been a horse
judge for other 4-H county fairs.
Between the two of them, their
experience is sure to be a great
assist to the members of the
Wright Warriors 4-H Club.
The couple is looking forward
to the new year, and look forward
to once again being involved in a
local 4-H Club where their two
children, Shea and Quinn, are
members.
If you have an interest in
joining 4-H, Bryan and Allison
encourage you to attend a meeting
and welcome you with open arms
to a fun and exciting opportunity.

Olivia Flumerfelt:It’s been
worth the decision to do this
First female high school football player in district history
By les houser
[email protected]
While most high school girls
seem content with either playing
volleyball, running cross country
or cheerleading for fall activities,
that just simply is not good enough
for 14-year old Olivia Flumerfelt.
The freshman decided to go out for
football this year, and now the 5’ 5”
135-pound Flumerfelt is the very first
female in school history to be on the
roster. According to Joe Chamberlin,
while there have been a few middle
school girls that have played she is the
first at the high school level.
Flumerfelt admits that she never
even played flag football when she
was younger. “I haven’t played until
this year,” said Flumerfelt. “I didn’t
do any fall sports last year due to
having eye surgery. Cross country
requires running too far, and I wanted
to try something new.” She describes
herself as free-spirited, outgoing
and upbeat. “I like to have fun, and I
am,” said the blond-haired freshman
daughter of Dan and Candi Flumerfelt
and Trudee and Jess Dobbs.
She admits that the hardest part
of being out for the sport is keeping
up with everyone. “I need to go
through conditioning to be able to do
the drills, and I’ve been keeping up
pretty decent,” said Flumerfelt. “Girls
can’t gain as much muscle in a short
amount of time, so the weight training
is a challenge. I wanted to lift right
along with the guys, instead of with
volleyball players, because then I’m
more a part of the team. Sometimes I
get frustrated, but I tell myself I can’t
quit and to keep trying. I know it will
pay off when I get in the game.”
Flumerfelt’s parents had some
mixed feelings about their daughter’s
decision. “Mom was iffy at first,
because she didn’t want me to get
hurt,” said Olivia. “Dad said to go for
it, and mom asked if I was sure. Now
she’s okay with it, and they’re my best
supporters.” And as for the injury
part, Flumerfelt admits that the worst
she’s had so far is a jammed finger but
has witnessed worse. “I saw it when
John Mosely (sophomore) broke his
arm,” said Flumerfelt. “It was nasty.”
She is also involved with drill
team, and admits that it’s hard to
go from one to the other. “We have
games on Monday night’s, so I
miss drill team practice then,” said
Flumerfelt. “I come back for their
Tuesday practice, so it balances out.
The coaches are good in working it
out for me.” On Friday night home
games she needs to make time for
marching band, which means extra
hustling back and forth for both. “I
make it all work out somehow,” she
said.

Olivia Flumerfelt
According to her, a few of the
guys are still having a little trouble
with a girl on the team. “Most of them
encourage me, and that makes it fun,”
said Flumerfelt. “It makes it worth
the decision to do this.” She feels she
is being accepted as part of the team.
“When we’re all together we are like
a big family,” said Flumerfelt. “We
have one goal in that we all want to
win. For the Lake Mills game last
week, we were pumped up. It was so
exciting. The seniors, Weber, Stuhr,
Slagle, Hanson and Gonzalez all
want to win and like to get everyone
pumped. Some of the things they say
are so funny.”
Even Olivia’s girlfriends in
school seem to be proud of her.
“They’ll say things like ‘Go Olivia’
or ‘That’s my friend down there,’ said
Flumerfelt. “They’re nice about it.”
When it comes to one of her earliest
experiences with getting hit, she said
it was on a kickoff. “I was diving
for the ball, and in comes this huge
guy,” said Flumerfelt. “I got the wind
knocked out of me. I think when your

Even though she has a separate
locker room, the guys still try to be
careful after practice when she’s
around. “I have to get invited in first,”
said Flumerfelt. “For the pregame,
we’re all together and hanging out
in the hallway. She feels that she has
already acquired good life skills in
her freshman year on the squad. “We
have to keep our grades up, along
with being polite and courteous,” said
Flumerfelt. “We represent the school,
and have to be role models for the
younger kids.” She also would like
to stay with football all through high
school.
Next time you see the uniform
#83 on the field, you’ll know that
player is pouring her heart and soul
into something she loves to do. Above
anything else, she is truly enjoying
herself and isn’t that enough reason?
Who knows, someday we might see
another girl follow Olivia’s lead and
try it too.

Even though the Eagle Grove
varsity football team gave it a nice
try in front of a large homecoming
crowd, it was just not enough in
falling to West Fork 21-8 last Friday
night. After spotting the Warhawks
a three-score lead, the Eagles took
over at the West Fork 28 after a fake
punt by the visitors lost ten yards.
Jeremy Weber only needed one snap
to find Brian Gonzalez for a 28-yard
touchdown pass with just eight ticks
left in the third quarter.
The purple and gold then had a
nice drive in the fourth quarter, going
78 yards in 13 plays all the way into
the Warhawks red zone. That started
with a 15 yard pass to Brandon Stuhr,
followed by a 13 yard strike to Spencer
Espejo. Weber then carried 15 yards
for a fresh set of downs at the West
Fork 46. Another pass to Smith for 19
yards put the ball at the 29, with a toss
to Parker Slagle taking it to the 17.
Weber ran the ball all the way to the
four-yard stripe, only to have the next
two snaps and a penalty push them
back to the 11. Weber would then get
picked off to end the threat.
“It was a tough way to end such a
positive week for our program, school
and community,” said head coach
Bruce Dahlhauser. “Our guys played
with great effort throughout the
game, but we just didn’t make enough
plays to win it. I felt like our team was
ready to play with high energy, then
we lost a fumble on our first play from
scrimmage and we deflated a little
bit. After a rough first quarter, we
found ourselves down by two scores
but continued to battle and outscored
them over the final 36 minutes. We
had a few other opportunities to score
that would have drastically changed
the outcome as well. Right before the
half, we had a touchdown called back
due to an ill-advised penalty. Then,
towards the end of the game, we put
together a really nice drive that ended
with an interception in the endzone.”
The Eagles compiled 251 net
offensive yards and 13 first downs,
compared to the Warhawks with
270 yards and 19 first downs. The
Eagles had 50 snaps for an average
gain of 5.0 yards per play. They were
penalized nine times for 66 total
yards, compared to West Fork with six
flags for 32 yards. The Warhawks led
in time of possession 33:31 to 14:29.
The Eagles converted two of 10 thirddowns and three of six fourth-down
opportunities.
The 123 net rushing yards were
led by Weber with 64 on 11 attempts
(5.8 average). Evan Anderson had 54
yards on 13 attempts, Gonzalez four
yards and Slagle one yard. Weber was
12 of 20 for 126 yards through the air
with one interception. Slagle caught
five balls for 42 total yards, Gonzalez
two for 30 and a score, Smith two for
22, Stuhr two for 21 and Espejo two
for 13.
Anderson kicked off twice for a
38.5-yard average, while Garett Blink
punted once for 39 yards. Blink ran
back two kicks for 25 total yards, and
Slagle one for 18 yards.
Stuhr had five solo tackles and 10
assists. Brayden Lyman had four solo
stops and 12 assists, Anderson four
solo and three assists and Slagle four
solo and two assists. Saxon Lyman
had three solo tackles and three
assists. Gonzo had two solo stops
and four assists. Tanion Pohlman,
Weber and Sam Johnson all made
one solo tackle, with Tanion in on
eight assists, Jeremy seven assists and
Sam two assists. Lincoln Miller made
seven assists, Dawson Lalor and Jon
Mendoza each three assists and Jacob
Rosa two assists. Stuhr recovered a
fumble.
“Our offense was decently
effective, averaging five yards per
play, but we hampered our chances
for points with costly penalties and
mental mistakes,” said Dahlhauser.
“Our defense continued to battle all
night, but we just couldn’t get them
off the field when we needed to and
also didn’t force enough turnovers.
Our biggest positive coming out of
this has to be our passing game. We
were able to move the chains and pick
up yards through the air, which adds a
huge dimension to our offense. It was
an all-around effort that made that
happen. Our line protected well, our
receivers ran good routes and caught
the ball and our quarterback made the
correct reads and good throws.”
This week-Eagles (0-6, 0-3) at
Emmetsburg (3-3, 2-1): The E-Hawks
are coming off a 34-20 win over
Central Springs. “We are facing
a team that likes to play physical
football,” said Dahlhauser. “We have
struggled to match the physicality
of our opponents so far this season,
so our chances to compete Friday
night will depend largely on our
ability to match what they bring to
the table. Their schemes are very
simple, but they are highly effective.
Our preparation this week will be
less mental than it has been recently,
and much more focused on playing
tough and physical football for 48
minutes.”

Eagle volleyball working hard for their next victory
Play well in winning a set versus Gaels, Cooper and Hammitt with seven kills each
By les houser
[email protected]
Even though the Eagle Grove
varsity volleyball team is mired in a
losing streak, they continue to work
hard daily in practices to find that next
win as they move closer to postseason
regional play.
Last Tuesday night, they lost in
three sets at North Union by scores of
25-15, 25-12 and 25-16. Team serving
was at nearly 82 percent, with Maci
Pickering going 10 of 10 with an ace.
Hannah Quintus was 9 of 10 with
an ace, Allison Purcell 4 of 4 with
an ace and Mallory Hammitt 4 of 7.
Esme Figueroa was 3 of 4 and Dani
Koester 3 of 5 with an ace. Sarah
Wilson and Hallie Jeske both made
one good serve in their only attempt,
while Jarika Eisentrager made one
good serve in two tries.
Figueroa set the ball for eight
assists, with Quintus making five and
Pickering two. There were 14 total
kills, with Hammitt making four of
those from her position on the court.
Leslie Cooper and Eisentrager both
added three each, with Koester and
Purcell each making two successful
spikes for points.
The team totaled 47 digs, with
Pickering making 17 followed by
Koester with nine and Hammitt with
six. Figueroa and Brandi Osborn
both made five saves of the ball
each, with Quintus adding three and
both Cooper and Purcell one apiece.
Both Eisentrager and Koester each
contributed a block assist.
“My team finally came back,”
said head coach Karla Tweeten. “We
competed, we reacted and we were
keeping the ball alive. It was good
to see. We were in the positive in
kills again, and it was nicely spread
around. North Union has a handful
of tall girls, and they were getting a
lot of touches. Our serving was pretty
good. We allowed a few North Union
runs but not many. I tell the girls that
any serve can be a crucial serve. It
was nice to see them play well after
a long bus ride. The JV match also
went to three, which was nice to see
for the same reason.”
On Thursday, the purple and
gold ladies hosted St. Edmond for
the annual Spike Alzheimers Night
fundraiser. The visiting Gaels won
the match 3-1, with set scores of: L2518, W25-19, L25-21 and L26-24. Set
one saw the Gaels up 18-15 before an
Eagle kill stopped it. The Gaels made
a hit past the end line to cut their lead
to 18-17, then couldn’t return the ball
to tie the set and force a St. Ed timeout
to regroup. A Gael kill made it 19-18,
which set them off from there to take
the win with six straight points.
The second set saw a Purcell tap
over at the net give the home ladies a
16-10 lead. The Gaels called timeout,
then came right back to drop a hit

just inside the Eagle end line for 11
points. An Eagle hit that couldn’t be
returned gave them a 17-13 advantage,
followed by a Gael point on a hit long.
A serve out of bounds made it 18-14
Eagles, followed by a three-point
Gael run. Koester then stopped that
rally with a kill to make it 19-17, and
then with Pickering serving and St.
Edmond stuck on 18 the home team
took the score to 22-18 before a Gael
kill ended it. Purcell then stepped up
and delivered a smash from the left
for a 23-19 lead, followed a point later
by Koester serving up a winner for a
1-1 match.
The third set score stayed tight,
with serves and points going back and
forth. As the Eagles became stuck on
18, the Gaels reeled off four straight
to go out to a 22-18 advantage. A Gael
serve into the net stopped it, followed
by Cooper making a kill from the
right side. St. Ed put up two more on
the board before a hit dropped into
the inside corner of the Gael side for a
21st Eagle point. That’s all they would
get as the visitors closed it out from
there for a 2-1 match advantage.
The fourth game had the Eagles
up 15-13 on a Hammitt smash and
Purcell served some winners. The
Gaels fired off three straight before
the home team could stop it, with
an Eisentrager tap over the net a
little later making it 19-17 as the
Eagles held firm. Koester hit a ball
that couldn’t be returned for a 20-18
score as the Eagles were looking to
send it to five. Another Purcell dink
over the net made it 22-18 before the
Gaels reeled off two straight. A serve
into the net gave the Eagles a 23-20
advantage, only to have the Gaels find
an open spot to place the hit for a 2321 score. St. Ed scored two straight
to tie it, and then went ahead 24-23.
Jeske stepped up to deliver a kill to tie
it again, but that would be the purple
and gold’s last gasp. It was soon match
point, and a block back by the Gaels
gave them a win.
Team serving was a 89.7 percent,
with Pickering going 18 of 20 with
three aces. Both Figueroa and Quintus
were 15 of 16, while Purcell went 9 of
9 with two aces and Hammitt 9 of 11
with an ace thrown in. Koester went 7
of 9 with two aces and Eisentrager 5
of 6 with an ace.
Figueroa set for 14 assists, with
Quintus adding five, Pickering two
and Hammitt one in compliment.
The 33 total kills were led by Cooper
and Hammitt with seven each.
Koester hammered five, Purcell and
Eisentrager four and and Desi Shivers
three. Jeske, Osborn and Quintus all
rounded it out with one successful
spike each.
The 59 total digs were led by
Pickering with 19 and Osborn with
10. Koester chipped in nine, while
Figueroa and Quintus each made
seven saves of the ball. Hammitt and
Wilson made three each, with Cooper
getting one from her spot in the
rotation. Purcell had two solo blocks
and Koester one, with Dani and
Allison each adding a block assist to
their final stat line.
“We came to play,” said Tweeten.
“We had been in a midseason slump,
but even with all the homecoming
activities they were ready to go. We
were aggressive, and all four sets were
competitive. We had longer volley’s
and good serving. We were noticing
things and then keying on those. We
had 33 kills with only 17 errors, and
we spread it around again. We will
host them in regionals, so it was nice
to play them now.”
The team is now 3-20 overall,
and plays at Clarion-Goldfield-Dows
next Monday in the annual Dig for a
Cure fundraiser.
