July 16, 2015 - The Eagle Grove Eagle
EAGLE GROVE Watch for our special 2015 Wright County Fair Edition to be published July 30. Colt Cadets Drum & Bugle Corps is coming to Eagle Grove The Colt Cadets Drum & Bugle Corps was founded in 1967. They are the younger sibling of the Colts Drum & Bugle Corps. The majority of its members are in middle school and high school. The Colt Cadets are one of the few cadet corps in the country. The two corps work in tandem, with the Colt Cadets grooming many members for the World Class corps. The Colt Cadets foster character development by challenging and teaching in ways that build confidence, self-discipline, work ethic and teamwork. A prominent and successful collaboration of organizations, such as the Colts and Colt Cadets, are expensive to operate. All of the funds are self-generated. They receive little in the way of federal, state or local funds, and they do not receive United Way funding. Six percent of the money comes from fundraising projects by the Colts Booster Club Forty-two percent from membership fees from the Colts and Colt Cadets. Nineteen percent comes from fees earned by the Colts and Colt This is Justin Sampson’s second year with the Colt Cadets. His parents, Mark and Ann Sampson, are excited to have him and the Corps make a stop in Eagle Grove this summer. They invite you to come out and watch them practice. Photo submitted Cadets in the summer. Seven percent is from profits made during the annual Music On The March shows and souvenir sales. The other twenty-six percent is from direct donations and support from businesses and individuals In 2006, the Colt Cadets were named Most Improved Corps in DCI Open Class. In 2009, the corps reached DCI Open Class Semifinals for the first time, and in 2010, became a DCI Open Class Finalist (among the top 12 in their division) for the first time in their history, and have continued to finish as Open Class Finalists ever since. The Colt Cadets travel throughout the summer to parades and competitions in the Midwest, performing for more than 75,000 people. Travel begins in late June through early August, with one week break to allow for family and other activities. They will cap off their season at Lucas Oil Stadium (home of the NFL Colts) in Indianapolis, Indiana. Justin Sampson, son of Mark and Ann Sampson, began his journey with the Colt Cadets last year and has returned for his second year. Andrew Powell, son of Joe Powell, traveled with Mark and Ann last year and watched Justin and his corps compete several times and knew this was something he also wanted to pursue. This is Andrew’s first year with the corps. The boys have been practicing with the corps since January! They moved into their full-time housing location in Dubuque on June 12, 2015. “We are excited to announce that the Colt Cadets will be coming to Eagle Grove,” said Mark and Ann Sampson. They will be arriving in Eagle Grove around 2 a.m. on Wednesday July 29. They will be housed in the elementary building and will be practicing all day Wednesday and most of Thursday the 30th before they head off to Minnesota for another competition. Community members are welcome and encouraged to stop by the practice football fields, bring a lawn chair and watch the corps practice. It is not uncommon for these corps to practice 12 hours a day OUTSIDE, rain or shine. Their daily practice schedule, when they are not on the road competing, is something like this: 8:00am - Wake, Breakfast 9:00 - Rehearsal Noon - Lunch 1:00 - Rehearsal 5:30 - Dinner 6:30 - Rehearsal 10:00 - Snack, Pack & Load Equipment 11:15 - Lights Out The Colt Cadets are very excited to announce they will be putting on a show for the community Thursday evening, July 30 (approx. 7:0 p.m.). Exact time and field location will be announced as time draws nearer. There will be a free-will offering at the entrance for the performance and any donations are greatly appreciated. Watch for more information in next week’s paper about the Colt Cadets and their upcoming show here in Eagle Grove. 2015 EAGLE Your local news media source www.theeaglegroveeagle.com Volume 130 • Issue Number 29 • Cost $1.25 • Thursday, July 16, 2015 Step Right Up to some great moments captured at the 2015 Wright County Fair Photos by Kim Demory In this week’s Eagle You’ll find More than 100 Faces inside this week’s Eagle Colt Cadets Drum & Bugle Corps coming to EG Page 1 Honoring Our Veterans Page 2 Supervisors make final decision on DD #35 Page 3 Sydney Redding (center) was crowned the 2015 Wright County Fair Queen on Wednesday, July 8 and received a check for $500.

This clown was happy to stop and pose for a picture with this Rotary Senior Living resident before moving along the parade route of the Wright County Fair on Wednesday, July 8. Despite the route change, many Rotary Senior Living residents were still able to see the parade thanks to being bussed over to Broadway.

Fair Manager Tricia Rosendahl presented 95-year-old Kroon with this beautiful flower, compliments of Eagle Grove Greenhouses, Inc. Members of the United States Air Force thank each other as they wait to receive their token of appreciation from the Wright County Fair Board. by Kim demory [email protected] Last year’s event was such a success, that coordinator Nancy Rosendahl and the Wright County Fair Board decided to hold the event again this year. Sixty-two veterans, along with family and community members, gathered at the free stage on Friday, July 10 for the second annual Honoring Our Veterans program. Rosendahl was thrilled with the turn-out, but noticed that some of the military men and women who were in attendance last year were not this year. She believed it was because they thought that since they had received recognition last year, they shouldn’t come again this year and receive a new token of appreciation. On the contrary, Rosendahl stressed that those who were in attendance last year deserve to be recognized many times, along with the new veteran faces she saw in the crowd. She thanked all of them for coming, and they were all in for a very special treat. The program began with the presentation of the Flag, followed behind by numerous Wright County 4-H members carrying smaller flags behind them. Watching the sea of Red, White, and Blue waving as they walked from the Show Arena to the free stage area was breath taking. The crowd stood in silence. Some saluted. Some teared up. Others smiled with pride. The crowd listened as Eagle Grove local, Tessa Yackle, sang the “Star Spangled Banner,” and then the program began. There was the folding of the flag, with each fold being described in detail as to what it stood for. Supervisor Stan Watne read a poem entitled “Old Glory.” If you’ve never heard it, look it up. It reminds us that our Flag has seen both good and bad, flew in times of peace, and wrapped wounded soldiers in times of war. The guest speaker of the evening was Eagle Grove High School Gavin Sandvig graduate from the class of 1993, Gavin Sandvig. “It’s humbling to be back in Eagle Grove for this event,” he said. He went on to say that he had many good memories of the Wright County Fair, and spent many summers enjoying it, and even helping prepare for it by painting posts, etc. But he wasn’t there to talk about himself and his military achievements - which are great, but this Iraq and Afghanistan veteran who was part of Iowa’s largest deployment since WWII, wanted to talk about what it means to be a veteran. Some show visible scars. Other scars are hidden, known only on the inside to the soldier. He went on to tell the men and women in attendance that as veterans, they are the heros, and so are their families, for the many sacrifices they have all made. “Thank you means a lot (to a veteran),” said Sandvig. “I love that I serve this State. I love that I serve this Nation, and God willing, I’ll do it for 10 more years.” Among the veterans in attendance were 38 Army/National Guard members, 12 Navy members, nine Air Force members, and three marines. Sterling Anderson was the second-oldest veteran in attendance at the second annual Honoring Our Veterans event of the Wright County Fair. Fair Manager Tricia Rosendahl also presented him with a flower, compliments of Eagle Grove Greenhouses, Inc. Anderson is 90-years-old. Members of the United States Marine Corp. A few of the 62 Wright County veterans recognized for their service during the Honoring Our Veterans Program. This moment was simply breathtaking as Supervisor Stan Watne waited to begin the reading of “Old Glory,” followed by the folding of the flag. Emotions came through for many veterans during the ceremony. Saluting the noble and the brave. Thank you to all who have served. Local News Eagle Grove Eagle Thursday, July 16, 2015 3 Supervisors make final decision on DD#35 problem Hearing will not be held By les houser [email protected] 4-H Safe Room ribbon cutting held The Executive Committee of the Iowa 4-H Foundation Board joined major donors to officially dedicate the tornado Safe Room at the Iowa 4-H Center on July 1. First row, pictured left to right are: Dr. Cathann Kress, Iowa State University; Dean Bowden, Adele Bowden, donors; Bob Butcher, President, Iowa 4-H Foundation; Steve Mallicoat, Iowa Ready Mix Concrete Association; and Albert Grunewald, Executive Director, Iowa 4-H Foundation; second row, pictured left to right: Iowa 4-H Foundation Trustees Joe Swanson, Janel Tyler, Tom Nicholson, Mitch Baum, John-Paul Chaisson-Cardenas, Doug Den Adel, and Jerry Roell. Photo submitted Iowa 4-H Foundation dedicates Tornado Safe Room In 2008, a deadly tornado struck a Boy Scout camp in western Iowa. In response to the tragedy, the Iowa 4-H Foundation committed to constructing a tornado safe room at the Iowa 4-H Center in Madrid to protect campers in the event of severe weather. The facility was officially dedicated on July following the completion of construction this past fall. 4-H supporters came together to celebrate this space and experience camp at the Iowa 4-H Center. “The safety of campers at the Iowa 4-H Center is paramount and we know that this facility will offer peace of mind to campers and families alike,” said Albert Grunewald, Executive Director of the Iowa 4-H Foundation. “This project was the result of the vision of many and we are thankful to our supporters whose contributions helped fill this need for campers.” While the ribbon cutting served as the official opening of the tornado Safe Room, the facility has already been used during a recent severe weather event. Over 100 campers took shelter in the Safe Room while a tornado touched down near Ogden on May 17. The Tornado Safe Room can accommodate 175 people and can withstand sustained winds of up to 250 mph. The facility is an additional resource for campers and is a component of the overall emergency management plan for the Iowa 4-H Center. The Iowa 4-H Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and provides the private financial resources to develop and deliver quality 4-H youth programs throughout the state of Iowa. These opportunities help young people enhance their ability to use critical thinking, leadership, communication, and social skills—tools that will give them a competitive edge in their future endeavors. DID YOU KNOW? A cow can climb up the stairs, but cannot climb down. This is because her knees cannot bend properly. With several, but not all, of the affected landowners present the Wright County Board of Supervisors received an amended engineers report on DD#35 at this Monday’s meeting. Assuming their role as drainage trustees, they also met with drainage clerk Deb Lukes and Dave Johnson, legal counsel for them on drainage matters. David Cook of McClure Engineering handed out copies of the report, and presented the reasons why it became necessary. “It looked like we were settling on option five (open ditch), but our investigation north of 200th Street revealed the elevation being deeper than we had planned,” said Cook. “The cost will then be more. When you have to deepen it, you need to also go wider to maintain the two to one side slope. To achieve that, the excavation volume will nearly triple.” He explained that the total cost estimate would go from $107,000 to $179,000. “Why are we not looking at option four now?” asked a landowner in section 28 representing the Julia Gordon Trust. “You’re taking perfectly good land out of production for something that may not work.” Attorney Gary Berkeland, representing one of the parties, was also present. “The change in elevation, from the original report, changes this project substantially and it’s unfortunate,” said Berkeland. “Does this project even give enough benefit now to do it?” Johnson then suggested Cook come back next week, with the hearing date possibly set at that time. It was requested he bring cost estimates on the change of the ditch along with the easement payment amount and the total number of acres needed for the easement. This would be regarding the removal of some of the access road for that property. The trustees could then possibly approve the amended report and set a hearing date. Trustees Stan Watne then expressed his frustration with this entire drawn-out matter. “Maybe Ames’s (landowner making the original request) should just put an inlet on their own property with a 40-inch tile to drain water into the road ditch (Uptagraph Avenue) and to the creek and be done with it,” said Watne. “It will easily be cheaper.” “Then just a tile easement would be required,” added Berekland. After being made clear of the wording for the motion and vote by Johnson, who recorded the proceedings for the record, Trustee Rick Rasmussen motioned to terminate consideration of all proposals from the engineer, in that the landowners present don’t believe the cost-benefit ratio is of significant inport to make it feasible and desirable by the trustees to proceed at this time due to them not benefitting from it.” It was unanimously approved, so no hearing date will be set. Courtney Stewart with Wright County Transit presented the contracts with both MIDAS Council of Governments and the cities of Eagle Grove and Clarion for bus service. She reported the expenses stayed about the same for the past year, and that was even with completion of the new transit building. Total revenue, minus expenses, showed a positive balance of $49,000. There were 15.308 total riders, with 42 extra trips making for a grand total of 15,454 riders. “We have very good drivers, and we really appreciate what they do,” said Stewart. She explained that there were just a few changes to the county contract, which included specific county service hours, the fare schedule for the general public and the addition of the training sessions for drivers as required by MIDAS. A separate equipment user agreement with MIDAS for the leased buses was also signed by the Board. County Engineer Adam Clemons presented some current items specific to Secondary Roads. The new motorgrader is being readied for use at the Clarion shed, and a heavy haul tandem-axle semi is being prepared for use as well. His crew received a demo unit tractor and bat-wing mower, with the original tractor/mower lease going thru Diamond Mowers. “This is still a lease to own,” said Clemons. “I do see the need in having two mowers, but want the tractor to have a loader for multi-use purposes.” He told the Board that the two new Chevy pickups, which will go to the road superintendent and the bridge foreman, have now arrived with 2015 Wright County District Junior Fair Special Results Edition To Be Published July 30, 2015 Appearing in the Eagle Grove Eagle, Wright County Monitor, and the Belmond Independent Parents, grandparents, businesses… show your support of the Wright County Fair and the kids who participate.

She told the Board that this past fiscal year ended comparably to the previous one, and that she will be revising the general assistance policy in the near future. “We’ll connect them to other resources whenever we can,” said Sheehan; -heard an annual update from Angela Wesselink on the Parent Connections program. She conducts the parent education classes, with the entire program overseen by Sheehan. There are six to seven classes held throughout each of the counties served (Hamilton, Humboldt and Wright). They’re also planning another Zombie Run, which was very successful last year, for this October at the Eagle Grove Golf Course. All proceeds are used to help prevent child abuse. “Rates of abuse are high in all three counties, with Wright County number two in the state,” said Wesselink. “You do good work,” responded Watne; -reviewed and approved the America’s Renewable Fuels Proclamation as requested last week. It states, in part “We call on the 2016 Presidential candidates of both parties to support the continuation of the Renewable Fuels Standard, and we invite them each to learn more about the industry by visiting with farmers, people working in the ethanol industry and everyday Iowans impacted by this policy”; -appointed Sandy McGrath, Caye Chelesvig and Warren Clausen to the Wright County Magistrate Appointing Commission for a term expiring December 31, 2020; -received the quarterly revenue report from the Wright County Auditor’s office. (Correction from last week’s story-the name of the new mental health advocate should have been Alice Warner, not Porter. The newspaper apologizes for the error).

Photo by Austin Lich Sweet Treats Homemade Ice Cream stand returns to Wright County Fair By Austin Lich For the Wright County Fair Sweet Treats is exactly what it’s name implies, a sweet treat, but for the owners of this little backyard Ice cream stand, it’s much more. From speaking with one of the owners, Mike Miller, he said that he greatly enjoys the fair. “We get great support from the people here and we always have a line,” said Mike. Mike and his wife, Jan, are from Jewell. They were here at the Wright County Fair last year and came back this year for the second time, and with a menu as diverse as theirs, you can’t blame the fair for wanting Sweet Treats back. They have flavors such as cookie dough, many types of cherry variations, mint chocolate chip, and the basics like chocolate and vanilla. They did homemade ice cream because it makes them different than other ice cream stands. While they were at Looking for a fun Birthday Card?

Banwell, 76, Eagle Grove Sharron Banwell, 76, of Eagle Grove, passed away Thursday, July 9, 2015, at Iowa Specialty Hospital in Clarion. Funeral services for Sharron Banwell were held on Monday, July 13, at 6 p.m., at Ewing Funeral Home in Clarion with Tim Hartman, an elder from the Mason City congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, officiating. Burial will be held at a later date at Rose Hill Cemetery in Eagle Grove. Sharron Colleen (Wiltse) Banwell was born July 22, 1938, to Myron and Florence Wiltse in rural Charles City. Sharron was raised and educated in the Charles City and Nashua areas, graduating from Nashua High School in 1956. Following high school, Sharron worked various jobs and raised several children of previous marriages before meeting and marrying the love of her life, Bruce Banwell, in 1970. The couple made their home in Williams for eight years, prior to moving to Eagle Grove, where they have resided ever since. In July of 1971, Sharron was baptized as a member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, living out the rest of her life as a faithful sister. Sharron enjoyed scrapbooking, card making, and cooking; she was famous for her potato salad, lasagna, and rhubarb pie recipes. She collected owl figurines and loved her schnauzer, Candy. She also enjoyed watching Ellen, The Voice, Let’s Make a Deal and The Price is Right. She loved roller coasters, Sharron Banwell dancing, and listening to music. More than anything, Sharron loved taking care of her family. She was a faithful and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and greatgrandmother. She showered her family with unconditional love, and everyone that met her is better for having known her. Sharron is survived by her husband, Bruce, of Eagle Grove; children: Jacqui (Dave) Minor of Garden City, Kansas, Rhonda (J.R.) Weilert of Garden City, Sheryl (Alan) Hiveley of Goldfield, Teresa (Rocky) Nolan of Garden City, Donnie (Nikki) Hauser of Eagle Grove, Harlan (Kathy) Barker of Des Moines, Lannette (Dale) Morisset of Springfield, Mo., and Robin (John) Orjias; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; along with siblings Shirley, Beverly, Carolyn, and Richard. Sharron was preceded in death by her parents; and brothers, Vernon and Lawrence. Ewing Funeral Home of Clarion was in charge of arrangements. Yard and Garden___________ Different types of perennials By Richard Jauron and Kendall Evans Perennials are beautiful plants that live three or more years, die in the ground each fall and return in the spring. There are many different types of perennials. Depending on the perennial, it might require a certain type of planting site to grow successfully. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach identify different types of perennials and planting sites where perennials can grow successfully. To have additional questions answered, contact ISU Hortline at 515-2943108, or at [email protected]. Which perennials grow well in wet soils? When selecting perennials, it’s important to choose plants that are appropriate for the planting site. Perennials that grow well in moist to wet soils include: sweet flag (Acorus calamus), black snakeroot (Actaea racemosa), Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), goat’s beard (Aruncus dioicus), swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), turtlehead (Chelone species), Joe-pye weed (Eupatorium purpureum), queenof-the-prairie (Filipendula rubra), rose mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos), Japanese iris (Iris ensata), yellow flag (Iris pseudacorus), cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis), obedient plant (Physostegia virginiana), and spiderwort (Tradescantia spp.). Which perennials grow well in dry soils?

What are some good low maintenance perennials? All perennials require maintenance.

Others require minimal care.

King Municipal Band will continue in Oleson Park for two more weeks in July. Beginning at 7:30 p.m., these concerts are held at the Karl L. King Band Shell. There is no admission charge, courtesy of the City of Fort Dodge. An ice cream social begins the evening around 6:30 p.m., courtesy of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Persons attending these concerts are reminded to bring along their own lawn chairs or blanket, since no seating is provided. Conductor Jerrold P. Jimmerson, along with Assistant Conductor Dr. David Klee, will be leading the Band on July 19 on an “Around the World” tour. No passports are required, however! A variety of march music will be heard, including Karl King’s Canton Aero Club, Pierre Leeman’s March of the Belgian Paratroopers, William Latham’s Brighton Beach, and Johann Strauss’ Radetzky March, Op. 228. In addition, Karl King’s German Melodies Waltz is on the program, along with King’s fast-paced galop, Emporia. On the classical side will be three movements from French composer and conductor Alexandre Luigini’s Ballet Egyptien, written in 1875, as well as Percy Grainger’s beautiful Australian Up-Country Tune, which was first sung at Grainger’s wedding in 1928. Guest soloist this week will be Dr. David Klee, principal flute and piccolo player with the King Band, as well as the Assistant Conductor. He will be playing The Swiss Shepherd, by P. Morlacchi. He will then be joined by the other members of the Flute section—Jennifer Littlejohn from Clarion, and Megan Benz from Manson—for some Latin American sounds with Beguine for Flutes. Klee is also principal flute with the Fort Dodge Area Symphony, and performs with the Comedia Musica Orchestra in Fort Dodge. Dr. Klee is presently Associate Professor of Music and Director of Jazz Studies/Music Production & Technology at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake. He holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in Flute Performance from the University of Georgia, a Master of Music from the University of South Carolina, and a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education from Mercer University. On the lighter side will be Paul Yoder’s tribute to the city of Chicago with Rush Street Tarantella, and a special tribute to the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, Carousel, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. This musical debuted on Broadway in 1945, and has had several revivals since that time. Several songs from that show are included in this medley, from “If I Loved You” to “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” These summer concerts always close with the playing of our National Anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner. In case of inclement weather at the starting time, the concert may be cancelled. Global Compassion Network to build Safe T Home® along the RAGBRAI route Global Compassion Network— based in Eagle Grove and founded by an Iowa farmer in 2011—is gearing up to build the Sukup Safe T Home® in each overnight town along the RAGBRAI route. A Safe T Home® is a highly modified grain bin turned into housing for displaced families in Haiti. GCN has built nearly 150 Safe T Home® in Haiti alone, 10 in Peru that are used as a bible camp, and 10 in Kenya to house missionaries. It takes between 4-6 hours to build a Safe T Home® and about two to take it down. Global Compassion Network also has a Domestic Disaster Relief team that responds to disasters in the Midwest. In 2013, GCN helped Wayne and Debi Sadler of Correctionville, Iowa, after an EF4 tornado destroyed their farm. The Sadlers will be joining GCN during RAGBRAI where they will help build the Safe T Home® and share their story. In addition, GCN will also have a team of bikers, including 77year-old Bob Hibma of Sibley who volunteers on GCN’s Domestic Disaster Relief team. While Hibma didn’t start riding until he was 60, the past few years he has completed numerous races including the 400mile Natchez Trace Parkway ride from Nashville, Tenn., to Jackson, Miss., this past April. About Global Compassion Network Founded in 2011 in the wake of a devastating earthquake in Haiti by Ken DeYoung (Iowa farmer and pilot) and Terry Baxter (Iowa pastor and missionary), Global Compassion Network is a faith-based nonprofit headquartered in Eagle Grove that is most known for the Sukup Safe T Home®, small, highly modified grain bins which serve as homes for displaced families rebuilding their lives after disaster. Global Compassion Network has built three villages, a school, medical and dental clinic, three orphanages, a widows and infants village, and two churches in Haiti, Hidden Creeks Bible Camp, an Agricultural Center in Peru, housing for missionaries in Kenya, supports orphanages and pastors in India, and also responds to domestic disaster relief in the U.S. More than 400 Ambassadors have traveled on a mission trip through Global Compassion Network.

I apologize for the lack of an article for the last couple of weeks, my husband Jeff and I were on vacation and unfortunately no one else writes the article while I am gone. We enjoyed a motorcycle trip to Branson, Mo., as well as Eureka Springs, Ark. It was really hot down there, but we had a great time enjoying the sights as usual. Back to produce! I received a letter from “Jake’s” Sweet Corn from Thompson, Iowa, with a tentative date of around July 19 thru July 24, for the first arrival of IOWA sweet corn. Of course, that all depends on the amount of rain and warm weather that we continue to receive. I am so ready for an ear of Iowa sweet corn smothered in butter with a sprinkle of salt! I can almost already taste it! I will keep you posted on this. Of course, until then we continue to receive corn from Georgia that has been pretty tasty, too. I have had many asking about Colorado peaches. They are not listed in my produce catalog yet. We are still only receiving California and South Carolina peaches currently. As soon as they are available, I will be ordering them in. Alberta Faye canning peaches were scheduled to be delivered this past Monday, and this all depends on the condition they come into our warehouse in. Some of you might remember last year that our warehouse in Boone turned the whole shipment away because of the condition they were in. We will have a limited supply, so if you are interested in them you should give us a call for availability. Blueberries have been plentiful and at an exceptional price. We are currently receiving Arkansas Red Ripe Tomatoes that have been looking pretty good, too! Don’t forget on these hot summer days when nothing seems to look good, we continue to have fresh cut mixed fruit that is always tasty on a HOT summer day. If you don’t see a particular size of bowl you want, just ask a produce worker, and we will cut one to your liking. Check out all the wonderful produce items that we have in our Produce Department at Fareway, where we are ALWAYS BEST AT FRESH! And once again, please excuse our mess as we continue the remodeling in our store! It will be WONDERFUL for our customers when it’s complete! Have a super fantastic week, and until next time, good-bye! Thursday, July 16, 2015 Wright County Democrats to Meet Monday, July 20 Wright County Democrats will be meeting, Monday, July 20, at 6:30 p.m., at the Clarion Depot, 302 S.

Shame on fair parade route Letter to the Editor: What has happened to our society? I don’t know who is responsible for the parade route change, but no one wants to accept the responsibility. Whoever, I just want to say “shame on you!” Those seniors at the Rotary home, both north and south, look forward to this event every year. Many of those seniors have already given up so much and have so little to look forward to, and watching the fair parade was one of those things. I was told “Well, they have vans to transfer them!” Yes, that’s true, but not all can go in the vans. As far as liability, there’s an umbrella policy that would cover any route. Again, I just want to say, “shame, shame!” Hope this will give someone something to think about next year. Sincerely, Connie Riley Eagle Grove Free sunscreen along RAGBRAI route for third year Thousands of cycling enthusiasts are busy double-checking gear, squeezing in last-minute training rides, and anticipating fun at the 43rd Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI), July 19-25. With all the planning it takes to prepare for a RAGBRAI ride, it is easy to forget one essential— even lifesaving—safety precaution: sunscreen. Roughly 10,000 cyclists will ride at least a portion of this year’s RAGBRAI route; most will ride the entire seven days. That adds up to many hours directly in the hot Iowa summer sun. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun and artificial sources is the greatest risk factor for melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. With 840 new cases of melanoma expected to be diagnosed in Iowa in 2015, several Iowa organizations are making sure RAGBRAI riders don’t get stuck without protective sunscreen. The Iowa Cancer Consortium, the Iowa Department of Public Health, local cancer centers, and other organizations across the state have partnered to provide free sunscreen each day at the mid-day Beekman’s Homemade Ice Cream stand, an extremely popular stop on the RAGBRAI route. During the 2014 ride, the partnership provided four gallons of sunscreen, 4,000 sunscreen packets, and 4,000 tubes of sunscreen lip balm to RAGBRAI riders.

The Class 2A regional opener finished with an 11-0 Cougar win as they advance, leaving the purple and gold to wonder what might have been after a nice 20-plus win season came to an abrupt halt. “We started by hitting the ball hard, but most were hit right at the defense,” said head coach Jim McLaughlin. “Once we fell behind, the pressure started getting to our players and our swings were not as productive. You’ve got to give Manson tons of credit. They played solid ball and defeated two teams (Belmond-Klemme in the second round) that were a combined 35-5 over the last 40 games.” The Cougars took a 1-0 lead into the third inning, where they posted three more scores. It was still not out of reach for the Eagles at that point, but then the team from Manson would plate five more in the fifth to really turn up the heat. Meanwhile, Tori Axtell’s bat produced the only base hit (a double) the Eagles would see all night. Heather Wilson took the loss, allowing seven earned runs on 12 hits with four walks. The team finishes with a 2213 overall record, which is the most wins in several seasons. Samm Kruckenberg, Bailey Boyer, Axtell and Wilson all played their final game in an Eagle softball uniform. Bailey Boyer readies herself to make the outfield catch in regional tournament action versus Manson. The Eagles managed only one hit in the loss.

Photo by Laura Dicke While there were no winners among Wright County drivers in the past week, there were some good finishes by a few of them. Last Thursday night at Kossuth County Speedway, Chad Palmer of Renwick was fifth in the stock car feature. He was immediately followed across the finish line by Craig Berhow of Belmond in sixth with Heath Tulp of Belmond 15th. Last Saturday night at Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City, John Campbell motored to fifth place himself in the stock feature. Also in that race were Parker Slagle of Eagle Grove in 11th and Matt Ring of Dows in 12th. Kyle Schmauss of Eagle Grove was seventh in the hobby stock main.

Photo provided BY LES HOUSER [email protected] Last Saturday night at Story City, the Eagle Grove baseball team’s season ended in a 14-4 loss to Roland-Story. Brian Gonzalez smacked a double for his only hit, while Jacob Grandgeorge had a base hit and drove in three runs. Alex Jensen also had an RBI, with Devon Omvig, Jensen, Carlos Lobato and Hector Sosa scoring the runs. Jensen, Grandgeorge, Kent Jorgensen, Lobato and Sosa all drew a walk each. Mike Dicke started on the mound and took the loss, giving up three earned runs on two hits over 3 1/3 innings. He walked four and had three K’s. Grandgeorge came on in relief, allowing four earned on four hits in 1 2/3. Yackle finished it, allowing two earned. Prior to that, the purple and gold completed their season schedule with a couple of games. On July 3 they lost to New Catholic 13-2 in four innings in Mason City. The Knights jumped on them hard in their half of the first by plating seven runs. The Eagles had single scores in the first and fifth innings. Gonzalez reached on a double, with Jensen, Jorgensen, Yackle and Dicke all swatting singles. Omvig and Gonzo scored the runs. Omvig stole a base, while also showing a good eye in drawing two walks. Jensen, Grandgeorge and Jorgenson all had one free pass to first each. Yackle pitched three innings, allowing 10 earned with three walks and one strikeout. Omvig finished it, allowing no earned with two walks and one strikeout. On July 7, they lost a home game to Southeast Valley 106. Gonzo was 2 for 4 with a double, while Sosa also went 2 for 4 and knocked in three runs. Grandgeorge was 2 for 2 with an RBI and a run scored. Jensen stroked a single and scored a run, while Dicke got an RBI. Lobato crossed the dish twice, with Omvig and Dalton Schaffer getting single runs across. Jorgensen showed patience at the plate in drawing two walks, with Omvig, Grandgeorge and Dicke getting one free pass to first each. Dicke pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing just one earned on five hits with four walks and four K’s. Grandgeorge allowed five earned with one K in 1 1/3 inning. The team finishes 6-22 overall, with Sosa, Grandgeorge, Jorgensen, Dicke, Omvig and Yackle all playing their final game in an Eagle baseball uniform.

Photo provided Eagle freshmen Baseball finishes 14-4-1 BY LES HOUSER [email protected] The Eagle Grove freshmen baseball team, coached by Dan O’Hern, recently completed a very successful season with a 144-1 final record. On July 1, they traveled to Garner and defeated the Cardinals in a doubleheader. They won the first 6-2 behind the hitting attack of Austin Hill, Evan Anderson and Nick Halverson who all had one base hit each. Colton Poncin took the win on the hill. Game two also went to the purple and gold 11-0. Spencer Espejo and Chase Blasi swung the strong bats in this one, each getting two base hits. Blasi was the winning pitcher in that game. On July 3, the Eagles played league-leading Newman Catholic and won a big game one over the Knights 9-8. Halverson, Braden Lyman and Blasi were the leaders at the plate, with Saxon Lyman taking the win on the pitchers mound. A sweep was not to be, as the Knights defeated the Eagles 11-3 in the nightcap. Poncin and Saxon Lyman led the team in hitting.

In fact, Fair Manager said at a recognition ceremony held Wednesday, July 8, that when they first asked him to be the Grand Marshal, he “respectfully declined” because he thought there were others more deserving.

Photo submitted The scam is back by kim demory [email protected] Several months ago, Joe McKinney, owner of Covenant Computer Solutions in Eagle Grove, announced that there was a phone scam hitting the area. Callers told you they were from employee of Windows, Facebook, or Microsoft Tech Department and that your computer was having problems and you needed to have them corrected now, or major problems would follow. All they needed to help was your computer’s password so they could help you remotely for a small fee. IT WAS A SCAM. Large amounts of money were taken from people’s bank accounts. While it seemed the scam tamed for a while, it has once again fired back up, only this time, pop up messages alerting your of alleged problems are appearing on computers. “It’s not legitimate,” said McKinney. One gentleman who saw “Big problem. Call this number” pop up, and when he called the number on the screen, was charged $500. “It just seems like the problem is getting worse,” McKinney added. Instead, he suggests that if anyone calls you talking about problems with your computer, hang up, especially if you can’t understand them. If you see a pop up, close it. Do not click on it. Instead, McKinney advises you talk with someone local (whomever that might be) who has your best interest, not your bank account, at heart. Talk to a professional, a child, a co-worker, etc., and ask them to help you. Then you know it’s someone you can trust. 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.
