Heightened
enforcement
over the Labor
Day Holiday
As part of the National Drunk
Driving Campaign, “Drive Sober
or Get Pulled Over,” Iowa law
enforcement officers will beef up their
commitment to saving lives on Iowa’s
streets and highways. This initiative
is part of the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration’s (NHTSA)
effort to save lives by focusing on
drunk/drugged drivers. Together with
law enforcement agencies across the
nation, Iowa will have more than 250
city, county, and state law enforcement
agencies participating in this heightened
enforcement event beginning August
25 and running through September 7,
2014.
“Driving drunk or drugged is a life
threatening undertaking not only for
those who do it but for all of those who
use Iowa’s roadways,” says Patrick
Hoye, Bureau Chief of the Governor’s
Traffic Safety Bureau. One of the
deadliest and most often committed, yet
preventable of crimes, drunk driving,
has become a serious safety epidemic
in our country.
Hoye further advises that, “Through
high visibility enforcement, officers
will remain vigilant, not only addressing
drunken driving issues, but all traffic
violations. Our number one goal is to
save lives.” Last year in Iowa, there
were 317 citizens who died in motor
vehicle crashes and 75 of those were
attributed to drivers impaired by alcohol
or other drugs.
According to the Iowa Department
of Transportation, there were four
fatalities during the three-day Labor
Day Holiday last year, one of which
was alcohol related. Crash data has
shown in the past five years, the months
of August and September are the most
deadliest months of the year.

Looking forward to a super hero kind of year
This year’s Robert Blue Middle School theme is focusing on super heros. The kids were thrilled, on their first day of school,
Monday, Aug. 18, to spend a little time first thing making super hero outfits. Some crafted face masks to hide their identity.
Others made capes. Josh Schild’s eighth grade ET class, pictured above, got a kick out of showing off their costumes, not to
mention making it known to all what their super powers were. Some are strong, some can fly, but what Schild hopes is that they

City Council approves
$20,000 for new shelter
By LES HouSER
[email protected]
The Eagle Grove City Council
heard an update this past Monday
night from Park Board President Bob
Torkelson concerning the proposed
new shelter at Greenwood Park.
He also took that time to touch on
several other recreation items.
According to Torkelson, the
bids for the shelter came in higher
than expected forcing the Board to
step back and look at plans again.
“We have a donor now that will
help out, so we’re reanalyzing this,”
said Torkelson. “We are asking
for the city to approve the $20,000
(which is already the Board’s
allocation through the City budget)
as their share. We already have a
grant of $2,800 from the Wright
County Charitable Foundation,
and the Foundation for the Future
has committed funds as well.” The
Council then approved the $20,000
in funding.
In other items, Torkelson
reported that around 150 people
attended the most recent Movie in
the Park night. It was sponsored
by First State Bank and Town &
Country Insurance. “It was the best
day, and the most revenue through
concessions, that the aquatic center
has seen this year,” said Torkelson.
The Board plans to review prices
prior to next year’s pool opening. “I
would actually like to see the prices
adjusted down just a bit, like maybe
for a family pass, to get more people
into the pool,” said Torkelson. They
still need someone to step forward
to run the flag football program for
this fall. “We need to find someone
to volunteer soon, in order to keep
the program going,” said Torkelson.
Please get ahold of him, or City
Hall, immediately if interested.
“We’ll help them get started,” said
Torkelson.
Travis Woodbeck is running the
tackle football program, and both
Stacy Osborn and Amy Peterson
the volleyball program, with both
starting off well. The bus trip to the
State Fair also went off well, and
Torkelson reports that the fish pond
at the park is now restocked with
some nice size fish. “There should
be decent fishing next year,” said
Torkelson.
Nancy Rosendahl was on the
agenda to make a request for a
stop sign where Washington Street
and Fifth Avenue meet. “We’re
concerned with the traffic, and we
know it’s been heavier with the
construction taking place,” said
Rosendahl.
“They’re
traveling
pretty fast through there, even the
school buses.” She also added that
she observes a lot of young moped
drivers not operating very safely.
Police Chief Beltran was present to
hear the concerns, and will look into
the matter with his department to
see what might be done.
Tim Moreau, with V&K
Engineering, was present to go over
some items in regards to the DD#94
project taking place within the city.
He told the Council that culvert work
is now about 56 percent complete,
with the overall project at around 63
percent completed.
The Council approved change
order #5, which was concerning
the six-inch sanitary sewer main on
Eastern Avenue. “We had to adjust
the box culvert a bit, plus insulate
48-feet of the sewer main to prevent
freezing problems,” said Moreau.
The additional amount was $6,000.
Also included was a time extension
of 17 calendar days due to the wet
weather in June. Also approved was
pay request #7 for $247,530.74 to
McKiness Excavating for work done
over the month of July.
In other action the Council:
-set a public hearing for
September 22, and a bid letting date
of October 1, for the 2014 Sanitary
Sewer Rehabilitation Project. The
current plan is to award the contract
on October 6. “It looks like no
replacement work, just slip lining of
the existing pipe,” said Moreau;
-set a public hearing for the
September 8 meeting regarding
the annexation of properties along
Highway 17 on the south edge of the
city limits;
-approved the City Street
Financial Report as presented by
Susan Maier. “This is required so
that we continue getting road use tax
money,” said Maier;
-approved the contract between
the City and the CDC. “This will
grant them the dollars to start
working on dilapidated properties,”
said City Administrator Mike Boyd.
In a related item, a public hearing was
set for the September 8 meeting for
the receipt and approval of proposals
for the disposal and development in
the downtown Urban Renewal Area;
-tabled
an
approval
of
supplemental agreement #4, to the
professional services agreement,
with V&K until more information is
available;
-approved building permits for
Lisa Padilla (carport), Don Brayton
(sump pump and pit) and Jeff
Pickering (all-weather travel trailer
parking area);
-approved building permits,
with variances, for Pat Moser
(dwelling addition) and Loren
Steil (garage addition and five-foot
approach).
Lemonade for the animals
Five-year old Paige Neighbors’ parents had been promising her
a lemonade stand all summer, and Paige finally got to work her
stand last Friday at the downtown intersection of Broadway and
Commercial. It became a family affair, with mom, Liz, and sister,
Julia (2), helping out as baby sister, Lexi (7 months), watched
and learned how. Brownies and lemonade were available for 50
cents each, or a donation of any amount, with all proceeds going
to the Wright County Humane Society. There were even photos
and information on several adoptable animals that are looking
for new homes. “I thought maybe the Humane Society would
want more money, so I thought it was a very good idea because
I love animals,” said Paige. “With school starting, my parents
thought we better do it today.” “She’s been wanting to do this,
but we live in the country so figured we’d set it up in front of her
daddy’s (Dr. Jeff at Broadway Vision Clinic) office,” added Liz.
The stand ended up raising $370.08 for the care of abandoned
animals in the county, showing what just one youngster can do
when she puts her mind to it. Good job Paige! Photo by Les Houser

School Board hears about an exciting
new learning effort at elementary
Teachers attended conference, shared ideas presented there
By LES HouSER
[email protected]
Eagle
Grove
Elementary
teachers Laurie Legvold and Karissa
Everson gave a presentation to the
Board of Education at their August 11
meeting on the Professional Learning
Communities (PLC) conference they
attended. “This was highly inspiring,
and will be a cornerstone of where I
think education will be going in the
future,” said Principal Joe Erickson
in beginning the presentation.
“After 25 years, I’ve never felt so
excited to get the year started,” said
Legvold in introducing the concepts.
According to her, PLC is about
members that work together to clarify
exactly what each student needs to
learn, monitor their progress on a
timely schedule, provide systematic
intervention to support them when
they struggle and extend or enrich
learning when students have mastered
outcomes. “Everything you need to
be effective with this was covered at
the conference,” said Legvold.
Everson was equally impressed.
“It’s not just a program the school
adopts, or a series of meetings you
attend,” said Everson. “It’s about being
there for each other (the teachers)
and for the students. It’s using the
concept of ‘my’ students are really
‘our’ students.” She explained that
when schools engage in the process
fully, they experience dramatic gains
in student achievement. The weight
of teaching does not fall on any one
classroom teacher, but becomes a
collaborative ‘team’ responsibility
within the PLC to achieve common
and shared goals.
“Our goal this year is to
create common assessments in the
elementary, in order to compare
‘apples to apples’,” said Everson.
“It will be a continuous process,”
added Legvold.
In reports from the building
principals, Erickson wishes to
recognize about 20 people, which
included parents, para-educators and
teachers, that have given a lot of time
to help get the classrooms ready for
the new school year. “My thanks to
them,” said Erickson.
Jeff Siebersma attended a marine
educator workshop in San Diego and
a School Administrators conference
in Des Moines. He also reported on
the safety conference held recently at
Camp Dodge in Johnston. “I attended
with Erin Halverson and Jim Lester,”
said Siebersma. “It was held over two
days, with a lot of good information
and resources we brought back that
can be used here in our district.”
Finally, he wishes to give special
thanks to the Class of ’64 for their
wonderful contribution in making
the Study Park at the high school a
reality. “It turned out great, and will
be used by our students for a variety
of reasons,” concluded the principal.
The
Board
approved
a
recommendation from Superintendent
Jess Toliver to transfer money from
the general fund to the activity fund.
“It’s expenses we’ll have from the
general fund one way or another, and
only until we balance the activity
fund out again,” said Toliver. Years
ago, Toliver said that $5,000 was
put in the activity fund from general
funds but not since he has been with
the district. The PPEL/SILO account
would also bring another $2,000 over
for purchase of protective equipment.
“For the most part, our sports
admission money paid for officials
and basic supplies but not much else,”
said Toliver. He also pointed out to
the Board that away track meet entry
fees are paid by using proceeds from
the home relays, but the girls have not
been able to have their home relays
for the past two years and the boys
only once in the past two years.
“Our activities account is not
balancing, so I recommend we raise
our protective equipment to $5,000
and add $7,500 a year from the
general funds,” said Toliver. “This is
something we will watch every year,
but I’m guessing the need will not
change that much.”
In other action the Board:
-approved a teaching contract
for Jenna Whipple (half-time middle
school technology) and a coaching
contract for Sarah Groth (assistant
girls track);
-accepted resignations from
teacher associates Todd Benjamin,
Maria Elberg and Smokey Wilburn,
and from Carrie Christopher as
assistant softball coach after nine
years;
-approved an open enrollment
request out of the district;
-approved the agreement for
leasing a room at Eagle’s Wings for
two sections of preschool. The district
is not involved with Head Start this
year, and is moving the DLC room
to the elementary building, so only
needs one room for this year. Toliver
did tell the Board that could change
yet again if the number of students
dictate;
-approved the request from the
FBLA Chapter to attend four separate
conferences over the school year and
next summer. Student-members will
be fundraising to help defray costs of
the trips;
-appointed Scott Jeske as equity
and affirmative action coordinator,
and also multi-cultural and nonsexist
education coordinator for the new
school year;
-approved the bus routes for
2014-15.

graduate,

Salas, is putting some of the
finishing touches on the new
disc golf course, which he is
completing as part of his Senior
LIFE project. Like many young
people today, Salas enjoys
playing the game and wanted
to have a local outdoor facility.
The 9-hole, par 3 course is
located on the west side of the
high school grounds. To begin
the enjoyable trek, players start
in the farthest northwest corner
of the school grounds at 7th
Street & Birch Lane, allowing
participants ample parking.
While construction is not
yet complete, the disc ‘catch
baskets’ are in place. Stakes are
installed ready for the individual
catch basket markers; ‘launch
pads’, while not completed, are
outlined in paint on the grass
along with upcoming hole
number. Salas, who thanks
and appreciates businesses,
organizations, and individuals
helping fund the project, hopes
that the course will be completed
yet this fall. Individuals are
already beginning to use the
facility. Photo by Karen Weld

book signing in badger
Pat Matter and Chris Omodt, co-authors of the new bestselling book,
“Breaking the Code: A True Story by a Hells Angel and the Cop Who Pursued
Him,” will hold a book signing from 1 to 4 p.m., Sept. 6, at Knuckleheads
in Badger.
Matter, a former member of the Fort Dodge Grim Reapers and later 21year president of the Minnesota Hells Angels, and Omodt, a retired captain
from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office in Minneapolis, who helped send
Matter to prison, collaborated and wrote the book together.
The book reached No. 1 on Amazon’s list of bestselling law biographies
when it was released on August 1.
Matter, who grew up in Fort Dodge, recounts details of the fatal 1974
shooting of fellow Grim Reaper Rick Wingerson in downtown Fort Dodge
after they encountered Ronald and Donald Chada. After an exchange of
gunfire, Wingerson died in Matter’s arms.
Omodt is a retired Hennepin County, Minn., detective who spent years
investigating Matter and building a criminal case against him. Eventually,
the two became close friends.
“Breaking The Code” is available at www.amazon.com, www.
barnesandnoble.com, and other select bookstores, or directly from Pat and
Chris.

It’s a scam
by KIm DEmORy
[email protected]
Has this ever happened to you? The phone rings and the caller
on the other end identifies himself/herself as an employee of Windows,
Facebook, or Microsoft Tech Department. They proceed to tell you that
they have noticed problems with your computer, but they can help. All
you have to do is give them your password so they can remotely connect
to your computer. That means you have given them full access to your
computer as if they were sitting in your home working right on your
device. They will make it look like you have problems, showing error
signs, etc., but will offer to correct the problem for a nominal fee. Once
they have your financial information, you’ve been scammed and who
knows how much money they will take from your bank account.
“Microsoft or Windows will never call you without you first calling
them,” said Joe McKinney, owner of Covenant Computer Solutions in
Eagle Grove.
He also reminds the public that when tech support companies do
return calls, they are most likely of foreign decent and will speak with
an accent. The scam callers usually speak very clear English.
McKinney said he has spoken with several people that have received
these scam phone calls. Unfortunately, some of them have fallen for it
and have had money taken from their accounts. One lady lost as much as
$1,000 in three separate money orders that were transferred to another
country.
“They’re mostly targeting the elderly,” McKinney said.
He stresses, however, that anyone can be the target of a scam.
Another
man
McKinney
spoke with said he received the scam phone call, listened to what they
had to say, let them remotely enter his computer, and then declined the
offer to fix the problem for a small fee. At that point, the scam artist
placed a locked password on the man’s computer, leaving him completely
unable to access his own home computer. Luckily, McKinney was able
to correct the problem.
“People unfortunately fall for it (when scammers call) because
sooner or later everyone has a problem with their computer,” McKinney
said.
Instead, he suggests that if anyone calls you talking about problems
with your computer, hang up. If you are concerned there is a problem,
talk with someone local who has your best interest, not your bank
account, at heart.
One other scam McKinney warns to be on the watch for, pop up
screens that say “Click Here and we’ll fix your computer problems.”
Simply put, the big computer companies are too busy to monitor
everyone’s computers and alert them when there are problems. It just
won’t happen. If you feel like you are having computer issues, seek help
with someone you know or trust.

Produce
Tidbits
Welcome back to Produce Tidbits.
By the time this article comes out,
the school year will have started up
again. Where did the summer go? I
am still asking myself that question.
This week I would like to talk
about something that we carry in
our produce department, but is really
seldom talked about, and that is tofu.
Tofu is believed to have originated
well over 2,000 years ago in China.
Tofu is made up of a soft, cheese-like
substance made from soy milk.
Tofu spread thru Asia because
of Buddhism, the priests studying
included tofu in their primarily
vegetarian diets, and then introduced
it to Japan. Because of its high
amounts of protein, the Samurai also
used it in their diets.
Soybeans were not introduced to
the Western World until the 1700’s,
and tofu was not as popular as in
Japan and China.
Tofu is very high in protein and
iron, cholesterol free, and very low in
calories. It depends on the coagulant
used, but it can be very high in
calcium and magnesium also. Tofu
can be combined with many other
foods, creating everything from
dinners to deserts.
I have included a recipe for
Lasagna Rolls that uses firm tofu
as a substitution for ricotta cheese,
making this a totally vegetarian
lasagna. I myself would rather eat
meat for protein, but there are those
Vegans that won’t.
Check out the tofu we have in our
Produce Department at Fareway,
There are approximately 2000
days between birth and the first day
of Kindergarten. Building Families’
Early Childhood Area Board would
like to make sure all children are
healthy and successful. They are
making that happen by offering
income-based preschool scholarships
to children ages 3-5 that do not attend
a Statewide Voluntary Preschool
program. All children deserve the
opportunities that get them ready for
Kindergarten, and to be healthy and
successful.
Scholarship Applications are
now available for the 2014-15
school year. To be eligible, families
must complete the application in
its entirety, meet Federal Income
Guidelines and live or attend
preschool in Hamilton, Humboldt,
or Wright County. If you have
questions regarding this program
or would like an application, please
call Amy Shannon, the Scholarship
Coordinator at 515-602-6371 or
contact your local preschool. The
application is also available to
download on the Building Families

Where have the good times gone? It is
officially the end of summer,
or at least it is in the minds of every
scholar across America. School is here,
and summer is out the door. So, what
can we do for fun now that the weather
is cooling? Well, why not turn our heads
to the other direction? Why not turn to
something more fulfilling?
Summer is great for
having fun, but school is
great for opportunities!
There are so many opportunities to get
involved, and help the community! Why
not play Bingo with FBLA at the nursing
home, or join FCCLA for a school recycling project? Let God use you once this
school year, and you’ll know what real
service can be about...having fun!

Lasagna Rollups
INGREDIENTS:
• 12
whole-wheat
lasagna
noodles
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive
oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 14-ounce package extra-firm,
water-packed tofu, drained, rinsed
and crumbled
• 3 cups chopped spinach
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
cheese
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped
Kalamata olives
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red
pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 25-ounce jar marinara sauce,
preferably lower-sodium, divided
• 1/2 cup shredded part-skim
mozzarella cheese
PREPARATION:
1. Bring a large pot of water to
a boil. Cook noodles according to
package directions. Drain, rinse,
return to the pot and cover with cold
water until ready to use.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large
nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add garlic and cook, stirring until
fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add
tofu and spinach and cook, stirring
often, until the spinach wilts and
the mixture is heated through, 3 to
4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; stir
in Parmesan, olives, crushed red
pepper, salt, and 2/3 cup marinara
sauce.
3. Wipe out the pan and spread 1
cup of the remaining marinara sauce
in the bottom. To make lasagna rolls,
place a noodle on a work surface
and spread 1/4 cup of the tofu
filling along it. Roll up and place
the roll, seam-side down, in the pan.
Repeat with the remaining noodles
and filling. (The tofu rolls will be
tightly packed in the pan.) Spoon the
remaining marinara sauce over the
rolls.
4. Place the pan over high heat,
cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce
heat to medium; let simmer for 3
minutes. Sprinkle the rolls with
mozzarella and cook, covered, until
the cheese is melted and the rolls
are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
Serve hot.

UnityPoint Hospice will offer you? UnityPoint Hospice is seeking country. Hospice volunteers work to be held
others about cover crops
The Wright County Conservation
“Stepping Stones of Grief,” a individuals who are interested in in three general areas: direct patient
Last year there were nearly
400,000 acres of cover crops in Iowa,
a dramatic increase over previous
years. The Iowa Nutrient Reduction
Strategy calls for a lot more cover
crops, millions of acres more, driving
increased farmer interest in planting
cover crops. To help address the
need for more cover crop expertise,
Practical Farmers of Iowa held a
Cover Crop Boot Camp to help
train 25 farmers how to effectively
teach other farmers, through phone
consultations and presentations, how
to successfully integrate cover crops
into their farm operations.
Practical Farmers gets dozens
of calls for information about and
requests for presentations on cover
crops each week. Farmers in the
network have communicated a
preference to learn from each other,
so Practical Farmers held the event
to create a corps of cover crop
farmer experts to help educate others
on the benefits and implementation
of cover crops.
Experienced cover crop farmers
and researchers gathered in Ames for
a two-day Cover Crop Boot Camp.
Farmers from a range of production
systems including row crops,
livestock, fruits and vegetables
were chosen for their expertise in
using cover crops and their desire
to communicate what they have
learned with others. During the
event, farmers were brought up to
date on the latest university and onfarm research about cover crops,
learned how to effectively give a
presentation, and crafted messages
for future cover crops outreach.
Attendees learned the science side
of how cover crops help build soil
organic matter, which allows soils to
better hold water and nutrients. “We
talk a lot about the benefits generally,
but moving forward we need to
understand how it works, so that we
can do better at managing for specific
goals,” said Sarah Carlson, Midwest
Cover Crop Research Coordinator.
Building on the science, farmers
discussed strategies for successful
planting and termination of cover
crops, avoiding herbicide injury
effects, and adapting management
to fit into their different farming
systems.
“There is a learning curve with
cover crops, it’s an added layer of
management. A few farmers have
been doing this for 20 years, but we
need strategies for beginners. We
want them to be successful and to
continue with cover crops year after
year,” said Don Elsbernd of Cresco.
Farmer Jeremy Gustafson of
Boone told the group how he has
helped farmers in his area organize
with local pilots to get cover crops
seeded by plane. “Management
isn’t just in the field, it takes work
to get the seed and get it planted.”
Gustafson’s “one stop cover crop
shop”, a project of the Soil and
Water Conservation District in
Boone County, helped farmers seed
over one thousand acres last year.
“There comes a time when you
realize cover crops can be the primary
focus. The cash crop is there to cash
in on the benefits of soil health and
nutrients that you’ve built from the
cover crop. You are growing your
own nitrogen and holding more
water for your crop,” says Andrew
Dunham who uses dozens of cover
crops in his diverse horticulture
operation, Grinnell Heritage Farm in
Grinnell.
The farmers that completed the
boot camp are now available to give
presentations and answer questions
about cover crops, this fall and
beyond. Anyone interested in more
information should contact the
Practical Farmers of Iowa office at:

Why are the leaves on my plant
turning yellow? This is question
commonly heard at ISU Extension
Offices. And although a simple,
straightforward question, there is
no one-size fits-all answer to the
question of why a plant’s leaves turn
yellow. “It depends,” may well be a
universal response given, as to make
a correct diagnosis of this symptom,
further details are needed.
Healthy plants typically have
dark green foliage. When the green
chlorophyll leaf pigment normally
found in leaves is lacking, abnormal
yellowing develops, a condition called
chlorosis. There are exceptions, as
some plant cultivars, such as hosta,
trees or shrubs, have healthy foliage
colors that have been bred to be pale
green or yellow.
Yellowing leaves may the result
of a nutrient deficiency in the soil,
especially nitrogen, which is needed
for healthy green foliage. But over-
fertilizing can also lead to yellow
leaves, or leaf scorch, as plant roots
can become burned when excessive
amounts of fertilizer are applied.
A high soil pH can cause yellowing
leaves; as nutrients, although present
in the soil, are unavailable for plants
to take up due to high pH conditions.
Soil testing for pH and any fertilizer
needs will help to prevent the overuse
of chemical fertilizers, which can lead
to surface water contamination.
Another cause of yellowing leaves
in plants is over-watering. Waterlogged soil is deficient in oxygen,
which plant roots need to grow. Lack
of drainage holes in container plants,
or pots left standing in water-filled
saucers, can also cause yellowing
of foliage due to excess moisture.
Over moist soils also can create an
environment favorable for fungal
disease, such as root-rot, creating
yellowing leaves as plant roots are
attacked.
A plant experiencing too hot or
dry conditions may develop yellow
leaves. Damage to roots, pot-bound
plants, insect pests, or the presence
of foliar disease, are all conditions
that may be indicated by a plant with
yellowing leaves.
Did you know? When bringing
plant samples to the Extension Office
for diagnosis, bring more than just one
leaf. Provide freshly collected plant
material and include the entire plant
with roots; for trees, submit a branch
with transition from healthy leaves
to the very sick. And remember, a
picture speaks a thousand words. Be
sure to include a photo of the entire
plant, as well as a close-up of the
problem area.
Have a sick plant? For ISU
horticulture advice on what to do,
email photos, along with a good
description of the problem to Yvonne
McCormick at [email protected].

Wright County Health Department
urges annual flu vaccination
Wright County Health Department
joins the Iowa Department of Public
Health and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) in
encouraging all residents to get
their yearly flu vaccination. “The flu
vaccine is safe and it saves lives,”
said Tiffini Toliver, Administrator.
“Healthy people, including healthy
children and young adults, can get
very ill from the flu and can spread
the flu to others. By getting a yearly
flu vaccine you can protect yourself
from illness, and protect those around
you.” It’s especially important to
be vaccinated if you have regular
contact with people more vulnerable
to the complications of flu, including
babies, children with asthma, and
the elderly.
The CDC recommends annual
influenza vaccinations for everyone 6
months of age and older. This year’s
flu vaccine is plentiful and available
in both the injectable (‘shot in the
arm’) and mist (‘spray in the nose’)
options; the vaccine protects against
the three most common flu viruses
expected to circulate this year.
Influenza is a respiratory illness
that most often causes fever,
headache,
extreme
tiredness,
muscle pain, dry coughing, sore
throat, and runny nose. In children,
diarrhea sometimes accompanies the
respiratory symptoms. The flu virus
is spread when people who are ill
cough or sneeze without covering
their mouths and noses. Others get
sick when they breathe in the air
containing the flu virus. A person
can also get the flu by touching a
surface or object (like a door handle)
that has been touched by someone
with the flu (who coughed into their
hand), and then touching their own
mouth, eyes, or nose.

Tackling common summer and fall tree issues
By Richard Jauron and
Greg Wallace
Trees can become afflicted with
problems that can change their
appearance and overall health.
and Outreach horticulturists offer
tips on fighting these issues. To
have additional questions answered,
contact the ISU Hortline at 515-2943108 or [email protected].
My magnolia is infested with
magnolia scale. What are my
control options?
Magnolia scale (Neolecanium
cornuparvum) is the largest scale
insect in Iowa. Adult magnolia
scale females are pinkish orange to
brown, elliptical, and up to one-half
inch in diameter. Females give birth
to their young (known as nymphs or
crawlers) in late summer.
Sap feeding by the scales causes
stress to heavily infested plants
and can result in stunted growth,
yellowish foliage, branch dieback,
or death of the plant. Magnolia
scales produce large quantities of
honeydew (sugary excretion) that
accumulate on the tree’s leaves and
twigs. Sooty mold, a black fungus
that grows on honeydew, turns the
honeydew-covered leaves and twigs
black.
Magnolia scale is difficult to
control. Two or more control
strategies may need to be employed
to effectively control magnolia scale.
Remove and destroy heavily infested
branches. Spray infested trees with
a contact insecticide (horticultural
oil, insecticidal soap or synthetic
insecticide) in late August to early
September to control the crawler
stage of the insect. Another control
option is a soil drench application
of a systemic insecticide, such as
imidacloprid, in July. Dormant
horticultural oil also can be used in
late fall or early spring before the
buds begin to break.
Why are the leaves on my
hackberry turning brown and
falling to the ground?
The browning of the hackberry
(Celtis occidentalis) leaves is
probably due to lace bugs. Lace
bugs are sap feeding insects
commonly found on the leaves of
shade and ornamental trees in Iowa.
Trees most commonly affected are
hackberry, sycamore, and oak. Adult
lace bugs have attractive wings that
are beautifully sculptured with an
intricate pattern of veins resembling
lace, hence the common name.
Lace bugs feed on the underside of
leaves. They pierce the leaf epidermis
with their sucking mouthparts and
cause the characteristic pale yellow,
scorched or “bleached” discoloration
on the upper leaf surfaces. The
underside of heavily infested leaves
will be speckled with small, black,
shiny “varnish spots” (excrement).
While lace bugs are present
throughout the summer, damage
symptoms usually don’t develop
until August or September.
Lace bug damage varies greatly
from year to year, mainly in response
to variations in natural controls and
weather conditions. Severe feeding
may cause premature leaf drop, but
healthy, well-established trees are
not seriously harmed. Spraying
infested trees with an insecticide in
late summer is of little or no benefit
to the trees. Further, spraying when
it is too late for effective control
may cause more harm than good by
killing the insect’s natural enemies.
There are big, hairy worms and
tent-like structures in my walnut
tree. What are they and how do I
get rid of them?
The “worms” are likely fall
webworms. Fall webworms are
hairy, tan to yellow caterpillars. As
they feed, fall webworms construct
tents or webs at the ends of branches.
Tents are initially small, but the
caterpillars enlarge the tents as they
grow and consume the leaves within
the tents. By the end of summer,
tents may be two to three feet long
and enclose entire ends of branches.
Fall webworms feed on more than
200 species of deciduous trees.
However, walnuts are their favorite
host. In Iowa, the first sightings of
fall webworms usually occur in early
to mid-August.
Fall webworms do not cause
serious damage to healthy, wellestablished trees. As a result, controls
are not necessary. Damage to trees
can be minimized by undertaking
control measures as soon as the tents
are discovered. Tents on branches
that can be safely reached from
the ground or with a ladder can
be pruned out and the caterpillars
destroyed. Insecticides also can be
used for control, but must be applied
with sufficient pressure to penetrate
the tent and reach the caterpillars
inside. Insecticide applications after
mid-September are of no benefit
and should be avoided in order to
preserve predators, parasites, and
other biological control organisms.

Supervisors decide to
increase cyber breach
insurance coverage
By jaCoB snydEr
[email protected]
The Wright County Board
of Supervisors said increasing
the cyber breach insurance
coverage is a matter of improving
the county’s protection against
possible incidents like the one that
happened to Target in December
2013.
The Board made the decision
to increase the $50,000 minimum
coverage to the max $250,000,
which adds about $5,300 a year to
the total bill.
“Having the insurance will be
good because if something does
happen, we will be ready for it,”
said District 2 Supervisor Stan
Watne.
The initial suggestion came
from the Insurance Committee,
which is made up of representatives
from various insurance companies
around Wright County.
Cyber
breach
insurance
basically covers the loss, theft, or
accidental release or publication
of electronic data or printed
records of electronic data that
may include information like
social security numbers, names
and addresses. Watne made the
motion and District 3 Supervisor
Karl Helgevold seconded it, which
was followed by a unanimous
approval.
In other news, the Board
publicly thanked Colleen Bartlett,
assistant county economic director
and transit coordinator, for all her
hard work the past six years.
“I think the transit system has
improved immensely under your
time here,” Watne said. “And we
want to say thank you and wish
you all the best as you move
forward.”
She will be moving to a new
position as director of the Iowa
Central North Central Career
Academy in Eagle Grove. The
Academy is located in the former
Armory building. Her last day
was Tuesday and she began at her
new position the next day, August
20.
Bartlett commented that it
has been a pleasure working for
Wright County.
County Treasurer Peggy
Schluttenhofer discussed a request
for a tax abatement totaling
$3,524 on a piece of property
recently purchased by the United
States Fish and Wildlife. The
approximately 160 acres is located
east of Lake Cornelia a few
miles. The Board of Supervisors
approved the request.
The Board also approved
the minutes from the August 11
meeting and claims for payment.
The next Board of Supervisors
meeting will be August 25 at 9
a.m. in the Supervisors board
room located in the basement of
the courthouse.
Sheriff’s Department may
be installing new software
By jaCoB snydEr
[email protected]
New software for the Wright
County Sheriff’s Office may be on
the horizon. Wright County Sheriff
Jason Schluttenhofer talked with the
Wright County Board of Supervisors
on August 11 about the idea.
“This is the first step in the
process,” he said. “I just wanted to
see what they thought and if it’s even
feasible.”
The idea came after the
Communications Board received a
$100,000 grant from the state.
Upon hearing the idea,
Schluttenhofer went to the Board
with it. He said installing a new
system was a good idea given the
condition of the current one.
“We are having problems with
it,” he explained. “The system has a
lot of bugs and is outdated.”
The TAC.10 software, created
by TAC.10, a company out of Cedar
Falls, would be for the jail, civil
records, as well as the computers
in at the office and in the police
vehicles.
And it would be installed in
not only Clarion but other agencies
including Belmond, Eagle Grove,
and Dows.
Schluttenhofer said this would
make it easier for the agencies to
communicate and share information.
Another advantage of the system is
it would cut down on dispatch’s
workload.
“Instead of us having to take the
information for a 911 and enter it into
our system, it will just populate into
our system automatically,” he said.
The total cost project still
unknown but the plan is to cover
some of the cost using the grant
and the rest will be added to the
Department’s annual budget.

The issues concerning lateral A
in Drainage District #183 are nothing
new for the county.
Dows Mayor Larry Klatt said,
and the Wright County Board of
Supervisors agreed, that issues with
lateral A, located in the northwest
portion of Dows, have been going on
for some time.
The Board and Klatt discussed
the matter at their meeting Monday
morning.
“On this tile, we have been
battling this for years and years,”
Klatt said, adding that a homeowner
recently came to him about some
water seeping into his basement.
Over the past several years,
Watne said there has been “a lot of
maintenance on lateral A.”
Maintenance included repair
to parts of the tile as well as the
installment of reliefs to reduce
pressure on it.
He suggested that while these
were temporary fixes, something
more needs to be done because the
tile is not adequate.
“It’s just not large enough for
2014 standards,” Watne said.
Watne and Klatt both said
another issue is that despite a number
of flushes, the tiling continues to
fill up with dirt, rock and other
particles.
And recently a Dows resident
living in the northwest part of town
talked with Klatt about having water
seeping into his basement. Klatt then
brought this to the attention of the
Board of Supervisors about it.
A suggestion was made to
increase the diameter of the tile so
it will be able to better handle the
amount of water draining through it.
However, Klatt suggested this
would be difficult as that would
mean digging up people’s lawns and
the streets.
“There is no easy solution
because there is no way of running
it clear south,” he told the Board.
“This is going through a lot of
streets.” Watne commented how this
would also result in a “tremendous
assessment” on each household in
Drainage District #183.
Talk of how the project would
be funded came up and Watne
suggested County Drainage Clerk
Deb Lukes talk to FEMA about
possible helping pay for part of the
total cost.
Lukes said she would look into
and get back to the Supervisors with
an answer on whether it would be
possible. The discussion about a
solution to the problem will likely
continue at the next Board of
Supervisors meeting.

Horticulture Hints:
Flower color change
Excited to learn
EaglE grovE EaglE
Perhaps you have heard people
say—My Asiatic lilies changed
from pink to orange this year
to.... Or maybe this—Grandma’s
rose bush always had yellow
blooms, but now, her roses have
turned red.
The question that comes to
mind is—Why would a flower
change colors from one year to the
next? As is the case with many
horticultural questions received at
ISU Extension Offices, there may
be several possible reasons why a
flower color change may seem to
occur.
Lilies and roses do not have
the true ability to make dramatic
changes in color, but sometimes,
color changes do appear to happen.
So what is the mystery as to why
a plant’s flowers would seem to
have made a change in color?
With roses, the usual cause
of flower color change is due to
winter die-back, when the top of
the plant dies. Grafted roses have
stems or canes of one type of rose
grafted to rootstock of a different,
hardier rose, which helps less
hardy roses survive our cold Iowa
winters.
One way to avoid a color change
of this type is to plant only roses
that are grown on their own
roots. Then, if the top of the rose
bush dies back, any new canes
emerging from the roots will be
the same plant cultivar—and the
same color.
What often occurs when a
lily “changes colors” is when a
less vigorous lily is planted near
another, stronger lily cultivar.
This results in the weaker cultivar
being over-taken and die out
occurs, rather than a color change.
With hydrangeas, the soil pH
will effect the color of blooms
changing from pink to blue. If
aluminum is present in the soil,
flowers turn blue. A lower soil pH
is needed for the aluminum to be
available to the plant.
Insufficient sunlight can cause
blooms to be of a pale, lighter hue.
Flower colors will also slowly
change as the bloom ages. Other
reasons for color change include:
temperature extremes, stress due
to lack of water, insect attack,
fertilizer levels (too much or
little), also cause pigment changes
in flowers.
And when saving seeds,
remember that hybrid plant seeds
will not result in the same color as
the parent plants.
Did you know?
Genetic
mutations can occur in a plant—
and when this happens, a new
flower or leaf of a different color,
shape or form may appear on the
same plant along with blooms of
regular type. This type of change
is called a “sport.”
Have a gardening question?

description of the problem to

Off to the Future: even healthy
young adults need vaccines
Getting ready for college or
your future career? Preparing for
the future means making sure you
are up to date on all doses of the
recommended vaccines–both to
protect yourself and others around
you.
The need for vaccination does
not end in childhood. Vaccines are
recommended throughout our lives
based on age, lifestyle, occupation,
locations of travel, medical
conditions, and previous vaccination
history. Even healthy young
adults can get sick from vaccinepreventable diseases. Protection
from vaccines you received during
childhood can wear off with time,
and you may also be at risk for other
vaccine-preventable diseases.
Without that protection, you’re
at risk for a number of vaccinepreventable diseases that can be
serious, even deadly. One of those
diseases that can be serious and even
deadly is meningitis. Some colleges
and universities require students to
be vaccinated against meningococcal
disease.
Lessen your worries about
missing classes, college life, or
other activities by making sure you
are up to date with all doses of all
recommended vaccines
Getting vaccinated is an important
action to take to protect yourself
from serious, and sometimes deadly,
diseases.
For more information regarding
immunizations, contact Wright
County Health Department at 515532-3461, or your medical provider.
Vaccine information and schedules
for recommended vaccinations are
available at www.immunize.org and
www.cdc.gov/vaccines.

300 wins…and counting
Coach Bruce Rholl looks back on 20 years
BY LES HOUSER
When Bruce Rholl took over as head coach of the
Eagle baseball team in 1995, after being an assistant
for a few years prior under Scott Jeske, he could not
have imagined he would still be there 20 years and just
over 300 wins later. The love of the game, and the kids
he has coached, are what has kept him going.
“Marv Reiland, who was the AD at the time,
called me and asked if I would be interested in helping
coach baseball,” recalls Rholl. “I said I would try it.
Coach Jeske was behind me 100 percent to do this in
taking over the head job when he stepped down.” That
first team under Rholl went 14-13 overall. How many
coaches can say they had a winning season in their
first year?
Rholl has taken three teams to state over those
years, and almost made it again this past season before
being stopped in sub-state by South Winneshiek. That
love of the game mentioned earlier started back in his
youth.
“I was playing varsity for the Eagles, and was
also asked if I would coach the Woolstock little league
team at the time,” said Rholl. “After high school, I
started a fast pitch softball team and coached them,
taking them to state in 1977.”
BRUCE RHOLL
After some time off, Rholl returned to little league
coaching until being offered an assistant baseball
position at the high school in 1992. “I thank Marv, Dave Morgan and the Board of Education for giving me the
opportunity to do this, and I especially thank the community and fans for their support. I knew I loved coaching,
but never dreamed I’d be doing it this long.”
Rholl remembers having what he felt was a good team for that 1995 season, and he was proud of having his
first All-State Super Team pick in Luke Hanson. “We went through some years after that which were below my
expectations, but then things turned around and culminated with a run of state appearances,” said Rholl.
Starting in 2001 with a state runner-up finish, the boys in purple and gold then took the 2A state title the
following year. They returned again in 2003 to defend their title, only to lose in the first round. They totaled 75
wins alone over those three campaigns.
The veteran skipper readily admits that he really doesn’t think about all the success, like the win total or
state trips. “I’m in it for the kids,”said Rholl. “I love teaching them the game, but more importantly the life skills
they can use long after their playing days.” He is proud of the fact that, at one time in his career, he had 30 to 40
of his players that went on to another level of either junior college, NAIA or even minor league ball.
Rholl also feels he’s been blessed with excellent assistants. “The year we won state, I had Dan O’Hern,
Jason Pischke from Humboldt and Luke Hanson, one of my former players,” said the coach. “I always tried to
get some to come back and be on the staff for awhile.”
He simply could not have had the success he has all these years without a little motivation along the way,
which seemed to come in handy right after the 2001 state championship loss. “They took it hard, with a lot of
crying on the bus,” said Rholl. “I figured what could I say to them? I told the seniors I was proud of them, and
then told the rest to take a good look at that scoreboard (showed a 5-4 loss) and remember that, because next year
we’re coming back to win the whole thing. They proved me right.”
The theme for that next year’s season became “Back in Black”, as their uniforms clearly showed an attitude
that this team would not be denied a return trip. “They were confident, and planned to win it all and told me
so going in,” said Rholl. That season also culminated in ten of the Eagle players making either 1st or 2nd team
all-conference, the most for Rholl in any one season. It put Eagle Grove on the map in baseball, and the whole
community was so proud of their accomplishment.
“We had our ups and downs that next year, only going 19-11 overall,” said Rholl. “I had a meeting with
the guys and asked them where we could go, and what can we do, from here? We ran into number one-ranked
Newman at substate in Mason City, and beat them I think by an 11-2 score. I told the kids we had nothing to lose
by going out there against them, and they were ready. I was really happy for them.”
Rholl said he has had a lot of good teams since then, including back to back 20-plus win seasons in both
2007 and 2008. “The year that Ryan Lynn pitched we were very good, and I thought we had a nice chance to
make it back,” said Rholl. While he does admit he contemplated retiring before this past season, he felt he had
an experienced group with good potential. “Our goal was a top five conference finish, and we were eighth,” said
Rholl. “They gave me everything I wanted, and gave everything they had in the postseason. My coaches did a
fantastic job of preparing them for our tournament run, and my hat is off to them. However, I knew when South
Winn took the field for pre-game warm up we would have a tough go to win it.”
He felt the turning point to the season, and what brought this team together to reach their potential, was the
Clear Lake game. “We came back and almost got it,” said the coach. “That’s when I thought we became a ball
club.” When he hit the 300-win plateau at Forest City, he was amazed at all the cell calls and text messages he
received. “I was told by someone that you don’t know how much you’re reflected in these kids lives,” said Rholl.
Rholl feels it’s been a good run, and as he looks back he counts his blessings. “I’ve gained as much from
this as the kids have, after never dreaming I’d be the head coach let alone doing this for so many years and this
many wins,” concluded Rholl.
“All the kids I’ve coached have meant a lot to me and
still do. I want them to know that if they ever want someone
to talk to call me, because I’ve still got their back.”

After being close a few times,
Kyle Schmauss takes first win
Enjoys the sport, and help he gets from friends
BY LES HOUSER
When asked his reaction to
finally getting his first racing feature
win in this, his tenth year, Kyle
Schmauss figures that after being in
second place so many times it was
finally his turn. “Three different
times in Britt I lost by an inch, so
it feels pretty good to finally be the
one to win,” said Schmauss.
Schmauss has spent all those
years in a hobby stock, except for
two years that he tried the IMCA
(sanctioning body) stock car class.
“My brother Kevin inspired me
to try it,” said Schmauss. “I was
helping him with his car, and we
kicked around the idea of putting
me in a car too.” Along with Kevin,
Kyle has been around the Smith
brothers and has been grateful for
their help along the way.
“That’s quite a racing family,
and you learn a lot from watching
national champions and racing
against them,” said Schmauss.
“They’ve helped me through the
years and are good friends to have.
If you need parts, they’ve got parts.”
Schmauss is racing a brand
new 2014 Shocker chassis this year,
which was built by former driver
Jared Dirks of Rowan. Tim Smith,
who has also spent some time
behind the wheel himself, helped
with the set-up. “My thanks to both
of them,” said Schmauss.

“My favorite thing about racing
is all the people you get to meet, and
how they’ll drop what they’re doing
to help you out,” said Schmauss.
His advice to anyone thinking about
trying racing is simply “Don’t do it,
it’s addicting.” When asked about
any future plans, he said he would
likely hang on to his hobby car for
now unless the stock car class goes
to a crate motor. Then he might
make a return to that.

Local Boy Scouts trek through
New Mexico Wilderness
A crew of teenage scouts from Clarion Boy Scout Troop #1047 and a member from Belmond
Troop #1016, along with three adult advisors, went on a life changing summer trek through the
Sangre de Cristo Mountains at Philmont Scout Ranch near Cimarron, New Mexico. Philmont covers
214 square miles of vast wilderness with trails that climb from 6,500 feet to as high as 12,441 feet.
During their trek, the scouts and leaders hiked well over 80 miles in ten days.
The group carried everything they needed to survive during the trek on their backs while hiking
from camp to camp, including personal gear, tents, food, camp stoves, fuel, and water. Pack weights
ranged from 40-60 pounds. They participated in rock climbing, team building, horseback riding,
western-style cowboy shooting, panning for gold, first aid training, and search and rescue. They
also participated in a four-hour conservation project of constructing a new trail. Along with the
hiking, the scouts and leaders endured tough challenges, including backpacking in rattlesnake,
bear, and mountain lion territory, steep climbs, and daily thunderstorms combined with hail. They
also battled the challenges of altitude change. The scouts practiced the principles of “Leave No
Trace” camping along with the prescribed techniques for food safety against bears, mini-bears,
parasites, and bacteria.
Philmont is one of the four premier high adventure bases operated by the Boy Scouts of America.
It was first established in 1938 from a donation of land from Waite Phillips. Philmont celebrated its
1,000,000 participant weeks before the crew arrived for their trek.
