Local chiropractors make adjustment
to their businesses
By KIM DEMoRy
[email protected]
Dr. Greg Burmeister and Dr. Aaron Parrott released
some exciting news last week - the two have combined
their businesses and will now both be practicing out of
the Eagle Grove Chiropractic Center located at 318 W.
Broadway St. in Eagle Grove.
Dr. Burmeister has been serving the Eagle Grove
community from this location since August of 1988. Dr.
Aaron Parrott opened a business located out in Shopper’s
Lane (next to Ryerson Auction and Realty) in August of
2009. While both ran very successful businesses, they
decided it would be a good thing for everyone involved
if they made a few adjustments to their businesses and
combined their efforts under the same roof.

Weekly Update:
Harvest is under way and
we are finally able to see
how plentiful our crop is. As
always, safety is the most
important part of our harvest
season. Be alert, be aware,
and take care of each other
out there.
“Everything will be the same (for my patients), except
I’ll be located up town now,” Dr. Parrott said.
The two said they had been talking about the merger
since this past May.
“I thought we would be a good fit together…and it
would be a way to better serve the community,” said Dr.
Burmeister.
“It seemed like the right idea,” added Dr. Parrott.
Both Dr. Burmeister and Dr. Parrott will be available
to see patients at Eagle Grove Chiropractic Center on
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between
the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. They will be available on
Thursdays from 8 a.m. until noon.
Both are excited about this new venture and hope you
will give them a call if they can be of service to you.

Many hands make light work in
packing 24,000 meals for the hungry
Presbyterian Churches come together, with other faiths, in Goldfield on Saturday
By LES HoUSER
[email protected]
Within the pages of the Bible
are a set of verses where Jesus is
saying, in part, “I was hungry and
you gave me something to eat,” and
later “If you’ve done this to the least
of these, my brethren, you have
done it to me.” Last Saturday at the
Presbyterian Church in Goldfield,
a group of 60 volunteers came
together to volunteer their time to
do just that.
In two separate work sessions,
4,000
packages
representing
25,000-plus total meals were
placed in boxes and loaded on a
truck bound for the Meals from the
Heartland (MFTH) office in West
Des Moines. According to Hunger
Fight Manager Joel O’Dell, these
small 13.8 ounce bags will feed a
family of six one nutritious meal
a day. While it may not seem like
much to some of us, that one meal a
day could be their lifeline in holding
off starvation.
“We’re
a
faith-based
organization, and our mission is
not to end world hunger but rather
to empower people to help our
neighbors which Jesus tells us
are even in far away countries,”
said O’Dell. He explained that
these meals prepared today would
possibly go to either South Africa
or other parts of Africa, Haiti, the
Philippines or South America. “Six
months from now, these could be
sitting on someone’s plate in one of

He explained that MFTM

Council (representing ten food

meals have already been prepared
this year, with a goal of ten million
by year’s end. “It’s not just other
countries either,” said O’Dell.

Recognizing Eagle Grove firefighters during
National Fire Safety Week
This week is National Fire Safety Week. While the community is reminded now is a good time to check smoke detector batteries
and go over fire escape plans, it is also a good time to give recognition to the men and women of the Eagle Grove Fire Department
who put their lives on the line to help during emergencies. Pictured front row, from left: Steve Asche, David Anderson, Thomas

MIDAS Transit Facility holds Open House
by Kim demory
[email protected]
Wright County has yet another
project completed to be proud of - a
new MIDAS Transit Facility located
at 416 6th Ave. SW in Clarion. It was
a much anticipated project that had
its concept back in 2011 under Wright
County Economic Development
Director Denny Bowman and
Administrative Assistant Colleen
Bartlett.
“We worked really hard to get
that building for Wright County,”
Bartlett said.
In 2012, the project was
accepted. Plans began to come
together, funding was organized, and
five months ago, ground breaking
took place. On Wednesday, Oct.
1, 2014, and Open House was held
to celebrate the completion of the
dream.
The new 62’ by 60’ facility cost
roughly $450,000 to build, but 80
percent of that money came from a
Department of Transportation grant.
The other 20 percent was county
money.
“It’s nice, without being
extravagant,” said the current Wright
director, Brad Hicks.
“Good quality materials were
used...what’s here is what’s needed.
Nothing frivolous,” added Jim Hosek
of Allers Associates Architects, PC
of Fort Dodge. “Efficiency was the
issue for Wright County.”
MIDAS Transit has been
designed to hold six buses (Wright
County has five) - four in the
south bay. The north bay has been
dedicated as a washing bay, but can
also double as bus storage.
“It’s a way to protect our state
investment (in the buses)....having a
building like this extremely extends

buses is more important than ever.”
Buses run Monday through
Friday from 5:45 a.m. to 9 a.m.,
and again in the afternoon ranging
in start times until approximately 5
p.m. They service the communities
of Clarion, Eagle Grove, Belmond,
Humboldt, and Webster City, picking
up 30 - 40 people each day. An
estimated 20,000 miles per month
are put on the buses.
Jensen Builders served as the
contractor of this project, and it was
reported to have been done on time,
on schedule, and on budget.
Supervisors Karl Helgevold and
Stan Watne both agreed during the
Open House that this was a much
needed facility in Wright County
and a project that keeps the area
growing.

the life span of a bus,” said Hosek.
The building also features a “day
lighting strategy.” In other words,
large windows were placed across
the very tops of all the garage doors,
providing optimal lighting inside
the facility during daylight hours,
resulting in no need for any lights
to be turned on inside the building
during the day time.
A ventilation safety system has
also been installed, according to
Courtney Stewart, the new Wright
administrative assistant.
If for
some reason exhaust fumes get to a
dangerous level inside the facility,
the garage doors will automatically
open.
Other features of the facility
include security cameras (inside and
out), a mechanical room, handicap
accessible restrooms, a supply area,
and an office space. The facility has
even been designed to meet, or even
exceed, state-wide energy codes with
heavy insulation.
“It should be very energy
efficient for them,” said Hosek.
Hicks is thrilled to see this
project become a reality for a number
of reasons. At the top of that list is
temperature control. He said that
many of their clients they transport on
a daily basis don’t handle the cold and
heat very well. Buses coming from a
heated building (and sun-protected
in the summer) will help regulate
the bus temperatures, providing a
more comfortable atmosphere for
the riders. Hicks added that the
temperature control will also extend
the life of the buses, not having to sit
out in extreme temperatures.
“Federal and State governments
have reduced money allocated in
transportation funding for buses,”
said Hicks. “So taking care of our

Board of Supervisors approves additional
fund to new facility at Lake Cornelia
By: JACOB SNyDEr
[email protected]
The Wright County Board
of Supervisors approved to
provide additional funding for a
proposed new shower and restroom
facility with partial storm shelter
capabilities to be built at Lake
Cornelia.
The Board discussed the
project with Eric Rector, a county
park ranger, at their September 22
meeting.
Both District 3 Supervisor Karl
Helgevold and District 2 Supervisor
Stan Watne re-emphasized the
need for the facility at their Board
meeting Monday morning.
“We need to have something out
there,” Watne said. “Then people
would at least have the opportunity
to seek shelter.”
Currently, there is one shower/
bathroom facility and two his and
hers bathrooms on the Lake Cornelia
grounds. None of these buildings
have storm shelter capabilities.
Board
Chairman
Rick
Rasmussen said the Wright
Country
Conservation
Board
already received several grants.
The grants will be used to help pay
the county back for the additional
funds allocated to the Conservation
Board.
The engineer’s cost estimate
for the project came in at $305,000.
The four bids came in significantly
higher, though and ranged from
$389,000 to $473,000. Right now
the Conservation Board has about
$291,000 on hand.
Construction is slated to begin
in June 2015.

Dr. Pollard helps
Iowa smile
Participates in Iowa Mission of Mercy
By KIM DEMOry
[email protected]
Dr. James Pollard, of Pollard
Family Dentistry in Eagle Grove,
spent Friday morning, Sept. 26,
volunteering his time as a dentist in
Waterloo as part of the Iowa Mission
of Mercy. This is the seventh year
this event has been held in Iowa, and
the seventh year Pollard has been
happy to be a part of it.
Iowa Mission of Mercy (IMOM)
is a two-day event held once a year at
varying cities across Iowa to provide
free dental care to patients in need.
Dr. Pollard spent six hours
working in the surgery area,
extracting an estimated 100 teeth in
addition to other surgical procedures
performed. Of course, he says that
wouldn’t have been possible without
the services of the other amazing
volunteers working together for one
common goal.
“I had a great assistant who was
from Davenport,” Pollard said. “I
couldn’t have gotten as much work
done without her helping to get
instruments…”
While Dr. Pollard performed
surgery, other dentist volunteers took
care of fillings, worked on getting
clients set up with partials, pulled
teeth, and etc.
“Pretty much anything can be
done,” said Dr. Pollard.
Before becoming involved with
IMOM, Dr. Pollard was part of four
medical mission years ago. He went
to Yucatán three times, and the
Dominican Republic once. Seeing
the difference that could be made
in a person’s life simply by helping

the newest deputy for the Wright
County Sheriff’s Office. Dodge,
who is originally from Britt, started

The Board also received and
approved the quarterly revenue
report from Wright County Sheriff
Jason Schluttenhofer and approved
a contract with the Iowa Department
of Transportation (IDOT) to work
within the Drainage District #36
right-of-way on Highway 3.
The plan is to have a culvert
installed on Highway 3. The area
between the bridge and this culvert
will be filled in with cement.
Rassmussen said construction
will begin in the spring or summer
of 2015.
Finally, the Board approved

aches and mouth pains, made him
realize how important it was to him
to be a part of that. When IMOM
came to Iowa, it was a no-brainer for
him to get involved.
“If you can help people, why
not? I participate in IMOM because
I see people suffering and in pain…
I’ve had tooth aches and I know what
it’s like,” he said.
Dr. Pollard added that the
free dental clinic is more than just
about fixing teeth. Studies have
shown there is a direct correlation
between health of the mouth and
health of the body. There is also a
social connection. Your teeth can
drastically alter your appearance,
and how you preserve yourself can
alter your self confidence.

benefitted from the IMOM program

Council awards bid
for 2014 Sanitary
Sewer Project
Also approves a CDC house removal
By LES HOuSEr
[email protected]
Tim Moreau, Engineer with
Veenstra & Kimm, presented the two
bids for the City’s Sanitary Sewer
Project for this year at this past
Monday’s City Council meeting.
According to Moreau, the project
will entail slip lining of 3,600 feet of
sewer line with eight, ten and 15-inch
line all being done. There will also be
14 manholes to replace, along with
some concrete work with that where
needed. “Iowa Avenue is a major
concern,” said Public Works Director
Robert Lunda. “It will be good to get
that one done.”
Both bids received, out of 14
total contractors sent plans and specs,
were well under engineer’s estimates.
Municipal Pipe Tool Company of
Hudson bid $266, 061.34, while
Visu-Sewer of Pewaukee, Wisconsin
(with a satellite office in Mason City)
submitted a $282,967.72 bid for the
work.
It was pointed out that the City
has had a problem with Municipal
on a past project, but that resulted in
liquidated damages due to the late
completion date. “I have no issues at
all with their quality of work,” said
Lunda.
Following some discussion,
Councilperson Dennis Vandewater
motioned to accept the bid of
Municipal Pipe Tool Company. It was
seconded by Councilperson Darren
Johnson and approved. The Council
also adopted all plans and specs
related to the project.
Moreau then presented a proposal
from the Union Pacific Railroad
concerning the DD#94 project. They
would like to use steel pipe (culverts)
where the tracks cross the ditch, and
will pay for all work done in their
right of way. “Iowa Trenchless, which
is the sub-contractor for McKiness
Excavating, will do the work,” said
Moreau. “The only thing is I’m not
sure how the changes will sit with
them.” After discussion, the Council
seemed in agreement to pursue the
option proposed by the railroad.
The Council held a public hearing
regarding the disposition of property
at 517 West Broadway to the Eagle
Grove Community Development
Corporation (CDC). According to
Jerry Maier, CDC President, they plan
to raze the building, haul all debris to
the airport for burning, remove the
basement and fill the hole with dirt
and then level the property and sell it.
With no objections, Resolution 201431 was approved to sell the property
to them and proceed with their plans
as such.
In other action the Council:
-set the official Beggar’s Night
for Friday, October 31 from 5-7 p.m.;
-approved building permits for
Jerome Schultz (front landing and
steps) and Darren Robinson (sump pit
and pump to discharge to the street).

Vandewater completes
city government training
Dennis Vandewater, Council
member for the city of Eagle Grove,
is among 79 city officials from
across the state to be recognized for
their participation in the 2013-2014
Municipal leadership Academy
(MLA). The workshop series is
conducted every other year after the
regular municipal elections and is the
only training opportunity that givs
city officials in Iowa a broad-based
look at the many aspects of city
government. Topics covered during
the workshops included council
meeting procedures, city budgeting
and economic development.
Vandewater and other MLA
graduates were recognized for their
accomplishment during a special
awards ceremony at the Iowa
League of Cities Annual conference
& Exhibit in Council Bluffs on
September 25.
Over 500 city
officials attended parts of the MLA
workshops; however, to graduate
an official needed to attend four out
of the five MLA sessions. After the
recognition event, graduates received
a special certificate honoring their
completion of the training.
MLA offers a comprehensive
overview of municipal government
and is presented by staff of the Iowa
League of Cities, the Institute of
Public Affairs at the University of
Iowa and the Office of State and
Local Government Programs at Iowa
State University Extension.
MLA participants demonstrate a
commitment to leadership worthy of
special recognition; often taking time

Eagle
Roger D. Hansen, 72, Black River Falls, Wis.
Roger Dean Hansen, 72, of Black
River Falls, Wis., passed away
peacefully at his home on Sunday,
October 4, 2014. He was born to the
late Harold and Geraldine Hansen,
in Eagle Grove, Iowa. Raised on a
farm, Roger attended country school
#7, and graduated from Eagle Grove
High School in 1960. Following
graduation, Roger enlisted in the
United States Air Force from
1961-1965, where he served as an
intelligence specialist in Istanbul,
Turkey. Upon his return from the
Air Force, Roger graduated from
Buena Vista College with a Bachelor
of Arts in Business Administration.
After college, Roger moved to
Minneapolis, Minn., where he was
employed by Metropolitan Life
Insurance. Roger and Judy met in
Minneapolis, and were married on
September 3, 1972, in Rochester,
Minn. Roger and Judy then moved
to a farm in Disco, growing 200,000
turkeys a year, beef cattle, crops, and
Christmas trees. Roger’s love has
been his cow and calf operation and
many of his steers have been shown
by youth at the Jackson County Fair.
Roger has worked in real estate sales
for Coldwell Banker Uptown Realty
and River Valley Realty since 1995
while maintaining a small herd of
cattle and crops on his farm.
Roger was a man known to many
as a quiet individual with deep
compassion, selfless giving, love
and acceptance. He gave based not
on his wants, but rather the needs of
others.
Roger’s grandchildren have shared
that he has been an exceptional
influence in their lives. His family
and grandchildren held a special
place in his heart. It is our hope that
his strength of character will live on
through his family and those who he
has touched.
Roger’s community involvement
includes: past president of the
Western Wisconsin Beef Producers
Cooperative, Wisconsin Electric
Cooperative Association, Federated
Youth Foundation, Cooperative
Network, Federation Cooperative
of Black River Falls, Interfaith
Roger Hansen
Volunteer Caregiver and Wazee
Riders Saddle Club. Roger was also
a Trustee of the United Methodist
Church, a Commander of MilesHagen American Legion Post 200,
and was currently a member of the
Lions Club. Roger was active in the
Jackson County Beef Cookout for
many years where he could be found
behind the grill.
Roger is survived by his wife, Judy
Hansen, of Black River Falls, Anne
Hansen Allen, and husband, Bernie,
of Altoona, Wis., and Amy Hansen
of Chicago, Ill. He is also survived
by four grandchildren: Markus and
Benjamin Sherman, and Grace and
Claire Allen; two brothers, Harvey
(Shirley) Hansen of Goshen, Ind.,
and Daryl (Cheryl) Hansen of Eagle
Grove; and one sister, Fran (Michael)
Johnson of Baraboo, Wis.; and many
nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank
Roger’s many friends for their
ongoing prayers and kind words of
comfort and support. The family
would like to extend a special thank
you to Roger Kaufmann who made
it possible for Roger to maintain his
cow and calf herd during his illness
this past year. The love shown to
Roger and the entire family is truly
appreciated.
The family suggests memorials be
given to The Boys and Girls Club of
Jackson County, Interfaith Volunteer
Caregivers, Black River Memorial
Hospice, The United Methodist
Church, or the organization of the
donor’s choice.
Visitation will be at the United
Methodist Church in Black River
Falls, Wis., on Friday, Oct. 10,
from 4 to 7 p.m. The funeral will
also be held at the United Methodist
Church on Saturday, Oct. 11, at 11
a.m. Military honors will be held
at Riverside Cemetary immediately
following the funeral.
Buswell Funeral Home of Black
River Falls is assisting the family
with arrangements.

Bringing back the memories
EGHS class of 1951 takes a stroll down memory lane with tour of Eagle Grove
BY KiM dEMoRY
[email protected]
It’s been 63 years since some
of the kids of EGHS Class of 1951
called Eagle Grove home. But on
Saturday, Sept. 13, many of them
returned to take a stroll down
memory lane, led by their tour
guide, Ron Mohr.
Virginia (Loynachan) Johnson
was one of those people, but it’s only
been a few years since she’s been in
Eagle Grove. Relatives keep her
returning on a somewhat regular
basis, but even still, she said there
have been some changes in the area,
and not just since she graduated, but
since she’s last visited.
She was completely impressed
with the Gazebo Park and the
Veterans Memorials that are now The EGHS Class of 1951 was home for a reunion recently and
located there.

“It was also neat to go by the
Johnson now lives in Cedar
places we were familiar with,” said they served there.
It was questions like that Falls, but it was fun to call Eagle
Johnson about places like Hewett
that brought back a flood of other Grove home again for a weekend not
Park and Greenwood Park.
While Hewett was similar to the memories as well, like when she so long ago. She said she came for

Museum was also special for
Johnson.
“They’ve really done something
with that. The last time I saw it was
five years ago…it’s really neat, now,”
she said.
Johnson and the Class of 1951
were also able to get inside the Eagle
Grove High School building. While
Johnson was hoping to have the
opportunity to see more of it and the
recognition to Gene Hendrickson
(rooms were locked because it was a
Saturday and only the building was
opened for the tour), she inspired to
see all the wonderful artwork on the
ceiling tiles, masterpieces created
by the students. She was especially
interested in this since her husband
is an artist, and has been for many
years.
“Ron is a neat, young man…and
an excellent tour guide,” Johnson
said. “He gave us a wonderful
tour.”
She added that he even threw
in fun little facts and reminders
like - “Do any of you remember
Whimpy’s?” Johnson did. She also
recalled the wonderful chili dogs

celebrated at Hagie Manufacturing

Manufacturing is the backbone
of not just Iowa, but the United
States.
Dr. Dan Kinney, president of
Iowa Central Community College
(ICCC), said during a program to
celebrate National Manufacturing
Day at Hagie Manufacturing Co.
on October 3, that a day like this is
necessary to not only celebrate the
industry, but also educate people
about it for this very reason.
Kinney also spoke about what
ICCC is doing to help prepare
students for manufacturing jobs
and careers in other similar fields.
One example he gave was the new
academy in Eagle Grove.
“That is going to serve our
youth of the future,” Kinney said.
“And it will really help to keep
them in our local communities.”
Important to the process
of preparing students to work
in the industry is also the local
schools and businesses, he added.
Through their job shadowing,
students learn firsthand about what
goes on at businesses like Hagie
Manufacturing.
It allows them to see the
opportunities available to them
and how important the industry is
for our community and state.
He concluded by saying
ICCC will continue to work
Business Directory
hard to provide the services, the
classes and programs, and work
with the schools and businesses,
so communities can continue to
grow.
Kinney introduced the next
speaker Daryl Beall, Iowa Senate
District 5, by commending him
and his colleagues for their work in
helping secure grants and money
for projects like the new academy
in Eagle Grove.
Beall echoed Kinney’s thoughts
by first explaining the purpose of
National Manufacturing Day in his
own words.
“The purpose (of National
Manufacturing Day) is to make
sure the future of manufacturing
is just as bright as the past and
present,” he said.
Beall believes Iowa does
not have a shortage of workers,
but rather a shortage of skilled
workers.
He then talked about four
skilled worker training programs
that were created to address this
problem. The programs provide
$40.3 million to support worker
training investments that target
specific areas where there is a
shortage of skilled workers. The
PACE career pathways and adult
basic education/adult literacy
programs are just a few examples.
Again, Beall stressed that Iowa
businesses need higher skilled

workers to continue to grow and can
get them through these programs.
“The higher skilled workers
are very important to the economy
and state,” Beall said.
Dave Maxheimer, human
resources manager at Hagie
Manufacturing, wearing a blue cape
donning the ICCC name and logo,
was last to speak. He provided an
idea of the many job opportunities
available at Hagie.
Through the use of two
short videos, Maxheimer also
explained that the perception of the
manufacturing industry and what
really goes on at places like Hagie
are two totally different.
Manufacturing is actually
“cool,” he said. And at Hagie, it
isn’t just work, work, work either.
They also like to have fun.
Following the talks, tours
of the two campuses were given.
Food and refreshments were also
available following the tours. There
was also a give-a-way that included
Hagie hats and t-shirts as well as
other items like a tool set.

Voters to hit the polls for
General Election soon
Absentee Ballots now available
By: JacoB SnyDer
[email protected]
Election Day is a little less than
a month from now.
On November 4, people will
flock to the polls to cast their votes
for federal, state, county, and nonpartisan offices.
So far, about 700 absentee
ballots have been requested and sent,
according to Betty Ellis, Wright
County auditor and commissioner
of elections. Of those, 238 have been
returned, as of Thursday, Oct. 2.
Absentee ballots can be
returned up to and on Election Day
or surrendered on that day at the
polls so you can vote using a regular
ballot.
If you need to register to vote,
you can request a voter registration
form from one of the following
locations: at the local library, the
county auditor’s office or on the Iowa
Secretary of State or Wright County
websites. Once filled out, you can
either mail it in or bring the ballot
back to the county auditor’s office.
While it’s preferred that people
register beforehand, you can do so
on November 4 at the polls.
Each registrant must prove
their identity and residence in the
precinct they reside in using a photo
identification, like a driver’s license
card with a current address.
Polls will open up at 7 a.m. and
close at 9 p.m. on November 4.
For the people in Clarion, voting
can be done at the courthouse, for
those in Goldfield the Goldfield
Legion Hall and for the voters in
Dows the Dows Convention Center/
City Hall.
A full list of the polling locations
and a sample ballot will be published
in an upcoming issue of The Wright
County Monitor.
Approximately a half hour after
the polls close, it’s anticipated the
preliminary results will be posted
on the Iowa Secretary of State and
Wright County websites. But the
official results won’t be published
until November 10, after a review
of the numbers has been done by
both the county auditor’s office
and the Wright County Board of
Supervisors.
If you have any questions
or concerns about the upcoming
election, feel free to contact the
county auditor’s office at 515-5322771.

Jay Rath, former cartoonists
and writer for The Onion, Gordon
Smuder, creator of the retro-monster
TV series Transylvania TV, and NCS

of the nationally syndicated comic
strip The Brilliant Mind of Edison
Lee will all present one-hour comic
strip inspired lectures at Comic Strip
Saturday.

that’s what we want to do!”
Following the main lectures from

Internet Crimes Against Children
(ICAC) Task Force program
The Clarion Association of
University Women, along with the
Wright County Sheriff’s Office, will
be hosting the Iowa Internet Crimes
Against Children (ICAC) Task
Force program “Online Behaviors:
Decisions and Consequences” on
Monday, October 20.
The program will be presented
throughout the day to Middle School
students in the Clarion-GoldfieldDows School District.
The program will discuss a variety
of online threats that our children
are faced with every day including:
child predators, harassment, and
cyberbullying. The program is
intended to present the students with
accurate information concerning
the threats and circumstances found
online and to help them make safe
and reasonable choices.
The ICAC Task Force is
comprised of federal, state, and local
law enforcement agencies focused
on the crime of sexual exploitation
of minors. Wright County Sheriff’s
Office Captain Jim Lester is a
member of the ICAC Task Force.
On that Monday evening, October
20, at 7 p.m., at the Heartland
Museum in Clarion, the public
is invited to a presentation that
will cover both Online Safety for
Children, as well as the increasing
trend of Human Trafficking in Iowa.
“We are happy to have the
opportunity for Investigator Ferjak
to present to the public on this very
important topic that is a threat to
our children everyday,” said Wright
County Sheriff Jason Schluttenhofer.
“Captain Lester works closely with
the ICAC Task Force, and we hope
to offer additional programs on
online safety throughout the county
during this next year.”
The presenter for the programs,
Mike Ferjak, is a 35-year veteran
law enforcement professional with
the Iowa Attorney General’s Office
and has served with the ICAC Task
Force since 2004.
In 2012, Ferjak was selected
to direct the Iowa Department of
Justice Human Trafficking Task
Force. Prior to these assignments, he
served as the lead investigator for the
Sexually Violent Predator Unit with
the Department of Justice for seven
years. Before joining the Department
of Justice from 1973 to 1998, Ferjak
served as a patrol officer, Chief of
Police, Public Safety Administrator,
and State Investigator.

ATTENTION ALL
EAGLES…
Do you love your quiet time?
I know I sure do! My favorite time of
day is when I get to listen in to KJYL
and spend some quality time praising
God. I love singing songs, listening to
The Good News, and contemplating on
my God-given amazing grace adventure.
How about you? What are
you doing with your
quiet time? Try spending
a little time with God
this week. Might I suggest
listening in to 100.7 FM radio
for a great pick me up? If you don’t
know who God is, or are simply looking
to spend more time with Him, listen in
each day and get your fill
of God’s amazing grace!

As fall arrives and the leaves
begin to change, we are reminded
that it won’t be long until the first
frost hits and winter arrives. We all
have outdoor plants, but many of us
wonder about the best way to treat
them to survive winter. How should
you handle your geraniums to make
sure they last through winter to thrive
next spring?
Here are some tips from Iowa State
University Extension and Outreach
horticulturists on overwintering
geraniums. To have additional
questions answered, contact the
ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108,
or [email protected].
How can I overwinter geraniums
indoors?
Geraniums can be overwintered
indoors by potting up individual
plants, taking cuttings or storing
bare-root plants in a cool, dry
location. Remove plants from the
garden (or take cuttings) prior to the
first fall frost.
How do you overwinter
geraniums as potted plants?
Before the first fall frost, carefully
dig up plants growing in the ground
and place in large containers.
Water each plant thoroughly. Plants
growing in containers can simply be
brought indoors. Place the geraniums

in a sunny window or under artificial
lighting. Geraniums prefer cool
indoor temperatures.
Daytime temperatures of 65 to
70 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly
cooler night temperatures are ideal.
During their stay indoors, water
plants when the potting soil becomes
dry. Geraniums are likely to become
tall and lanky by late winter. In
March, prune back the plants. Cut
back the geraniums by one-half to
two-thirds. The geraniums will begin
to grow again within a few days and
should develop into nice specimens
by May.
How do I take geranium
cuttings?
Using a sharp knife, take threeto five-inch stem cuttings from the
terminal ends of the shoots. Pinch off
the lower leaves, then dip the base of
each cutting in a rooting hormone.
Stick the cuttings into a rooting
medium of vermiculite or a mixture
of perlite and sphagnum peat moss.
Pots and flats with drainage holes
in the bottom are suitable rooting
containers.
Insert the cuttings into the medium
just far enough to be self-supporting.
After all the cuttings are inserted,
water the rooting medium. Allow the
medium to drain for a few minutes,
then place a clear plastic bag or
dome over the cuttings to prevent
the foliage from wilting. Finally,
place the cuttings in bright light,
but not direct sunlight. The cuttings
should root in six to eight weeks.
When the cuttings have good root
systems, remove them from the
rooting medium and plant each
rooted cutting in its own container.
Place the potted plants in a sunny
window or under artificial lighting
until spring.
How do you overwinter
geraniums as bare-root plants?
Carefully dig up the geraniums
before the first fall frost. Shake the
soil from the plant’s roots. Then
place one or two plants in a large
paper sack and store in a cool (45 to
55 degree Fahrenheit), dry location.
An unheated bedroom or indoor
porch might be a suitable location.
An alternate method is to hang the
plants upside down in a cool, dry
location. The foliage and the shoot
tips will eventually die. In March,
prune or cut back each plant. Remove
all shriveled, dead material. Prune
back to firm, green, live stem tissue.
After pruning, pot up the plants and
water thoroughly. Place the potted
geraniums in a sunny window or
under artificial lighting. Geraniums
that are pruned and potted in March
should develop into nice looking
plants that can be planted outdoors
in May.

Wright County Engineers celebrate one Yard
Explore fall-blooming bulbs, trees and shrubs
year anniversary of new building
By Richard Jauron and
Greg Wallace
by Kim demory
[email protected]
At this time last year,
employees of the Wright County
Engineer’s office were busy
moving from their location at the
Courthouse, to their new home at
416 5th Ave SW in Clarion. The
42’ x 82’ newly constructed facility
had more space to offer, and most
importantly, provided the ability
to have better communication
with the shop staff and foremans
because they were closer together.
The new engineers building
not only puts all 32 employees at
a closer proximity, but it offers
a large conference room for
meetings with the Department
of Transportation as well as
an area for safety meetings for
employees.
A lab is located just out a
side door, where technicians and
engineers can test rocks for use
in asphalt and concrete, ensuring
they meet state requirements. A
certain amount of rock must be
used.
In this lab, they also test
concrete strength and run a variety
of other tests on a regular basis as
part of their job. Things that the
average person would never even
know is required to ensure quality
and safety.
According to Adam Clemons,
Wright County Engineer, the
recent Woolstock bridge project
couldn’t reopen until the Wright
County Engineer’s office broke
similar beams in the lab to see how
much weight it could support.
In
Iowa,
counties
are
responsible for nearly 88,000 miles
of roadway. Wright County has
roughly 1,000 miles of road and
2,000 miles of ditches. County
engineers are accountable for all
of the maintenance, widening,
resurfacing work, reconstruction,
asphalt construction, and bridge
work.
It also includes snow
removal in the winter months
and mowing in the spring and
summer.
Clemons said they recently
welcomed a group of local Cub
Scouts to learn about some of the
processes that take place at the
facility. The young boys were
amazed to learn so much about
what it takes to keep our roads
in operating order.
Clemons
said they would welcome more
informational tours of this nature.
Wright County Engineers
work together to provide the best
in quality and safety on our roads
each and every year. If you would
like to learn more about the work
they do, or if you have questions,
stop by and check out their new
office.

Horticulture Hints:
The rap on tree wrap
By Yvonne McCormick, ISU Extension Horticulturist
Tree wrap—the good, the bad, and
the ugly. Typically made of a heavy
crepe paper, tree wrap is used to help
protect newly planted and young
trees from sunscald, rabbits, rodents
and other winter damage. Smooth,
thinly barked young trees, such as
maple, crabapple, honey locust,
and lindens, especially benefit from
wrapping, as they are at higher risk
for winter damage.
However, tree wrap should only
be applied in October and then
removed in the spring. If the wrap is
left in place for additional growing
seasons, it can serve as a hideout for
insects and disease. In fact, if left in
place for many years, wrap can kill a
tree if not removed, as it can girdle,
or strangle the tree as it grows.
A better solution for protection
of young trees is the use of plastic
tubing. White, perforated drainage
tile can be used, by simply cutting
the tube lengthwise to be placed
around the tree trunk. Plastic guards
can also girdle trees, so be sure to
check regularly and remove them
before the tree becomes too large.
To protect from rabbit damage,
height of the tube should measure 2
feet above anticipated snow level.
Adding mulch around a tree will
also help to prevent mechanical
damage. Be sure to avoid mulch
“volcanoes,” as seen in some yards
when folks mistakenly make a thick
pile of mulch around a tree. This is
not healthy for trees, as air and rain
cannot reach the roots through the
bulk; can cause disease; and rodents
may decide to make it home. Mulch
should instead be spread out to a 3
– 4 inch thickness, which is best for
trees, as air and rain can reach the
roots.
Wood chip mulch is best for using
around trees. The mulch should not
be in contact with the trunk, but best
applied about an inch away from
the trunk to avoid potential disease
problems. Mulch should spread to
at least a 2-foot circle in diameter
around the trunk. The key here is
that bigger is better! A larger area
of mulch, even extending out to the
dripline, is so much better for the
tree. Why not “go green” and visit
your local tree disposal site to obtain
mulch to use?
did you know? Do not use
fertilizer when planting trees. As
most Iowa soils contain sufficient
amounts of nutrients for newly
planted trees, fertilizers are generally
not recommended at planting time.
Avoiding fertilizer use also helps
encourage tree root expansion into
the landscape, rather than circling in
the planting hole.
Gardening Questions? Contact
McCormick at [email protected]
for information or advice.
People typically think of fall as a
time when plant life is winding down,
a time of harvest, preservation, and
preparation for spring. But a number
of plants and trees bloom in the fall,
giving the landscape an extra boost.
Iowa State University Extension
and Outreach horticulturists offer
tips on using bulbs, trees and shrubs
to their best advantage this fall. To
have additional questions answered,
contact the ISU Hortline at 515-2943108, or [email protected].
Are there any fall blooming
bulbs?
While most gardeners are familiar
with spring-flowering bulbs, such
as tulips and daffodils, many don’t
realize a few bulbs bloom in fall.
These fall-blooming bulbs make
surprising, colorful additions to the
fall garden.
Colchicums (Colchicum spp.)
are members of the lily family. The
bulbs (corms) produce green foliage
in spring. The leaves may be up
to 10 to 15 inches long and 3 to 4
inches wide. The foliage remains
until summer, then it turns yellow
and dies back to the ground. The
crocus-like flowers appear without
foliage in fall. Flowers may be
white, pink, or lavender. Attractive
cultivars
include
Colchicum
autumnale ‘Album,’ which produces
white flowers, and ‘Alboplenum,’
which is a double, white-flowering
form. ‘The Giant’ produces large,
violet flowers with white throats.
The flowers of ‘Waterlily’ resemble
waterlily blossoms. The large,
double, purplish pink flowers contain
up to 20 petals.
Colchicums require well-drained
soils. Since the dying foliage of
colchicums is rather unattractive,
gardeners should carefully select
their planting sites. Good locations
would be in front of a shrub border
or under the filtered shade of large
trees or shrubs. Plant colchicums in
groups of five or more bulbs. Bulbs
should be planted 3 inches deep and
6 inches apart.
Another attractive fall-blooming
bulb is the showy crocus (Crocus
speciosus). Showy crocus is a
fall-blooming crocus. Flowers are
violet blue with yellow anthers
and deep orange stigmas. Plant
height is approximately 5 to 6
inches. Excellent cultivars include
‘Albus’ (pure white flowers with
orange stigmas), ‘Cassiope’ (aster
blue flowers with yellow bases),
and ‘Conqueror’ (clear, deep blue
flowers).
Showy crocus is easy to grow.
Choose a well-drained site in partial
shade to full sun. Plant bulbs in
masses (25 or more bulbs) to achieve
the best visual impact. Bulbs should
be planted 3 to 4 inches deep and 4
to 6 inches apart.
Are there any fall blooming trees
or shrubs?
While most trees and shrubs bloom
in spring or early summer, common
witchhazel is a notable exception.
Common witchhazel (Hamamelis
virginiana) blooms from midOctober to early December. Flowers
consist of four, strap-like, yellow
petals that curl up on cold days and
unfurl in warm weather. Common
witchhazel is a large shrub or small
tree that grows 20 to 30 feet tall.
Plants can be grown successfully in
full sun to partial shade.
Another attractive plant in late
summer and fall is the seven-son
flower (Heptacodium miconioides).
Seven-son flower is a large shrub or
small tree that grows 20 to 25 feet
tall. Plants produce fragrant, creamy
white flowers in September. After
flowering, the appendages (calyces)
surrounding the flowers turn
purplish red in October and persist
to mid-November. Winter interest is
provided by the plant’s light brown
exfoliating bark. The seven-son
flower can be grown successfully in
full sun to partial shade. It is hardy in
USDA Hardiness Zones 5 to 9.
Which perennials bloom in late
summer/early fall?
Late summer/early fall blooming
perennials include New England aster
(Aster novae-angliae), New York
aster (Aster novi-belgii), boltonia
(Boltonia asteroides), garden mum
(Chrysanthemum x morifolium),
sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale),
showy stonecrop (Sedum spectabile)
and goldenrod (Solidago hybrids).

National 4-H Week
October 5 - October 11, 2014
— It’s all about YOUth —
Pictured: Dylan
Kruckenberg and

Volunteers make it possible
By Kim DemOry
[email protected]
4-H Programs in Wright County are as strong
as ever, especially in Eagle Grove where the Wright
Warriors have seen growth in their memerbships for
the past several years.
With the new year just underway, that number is
looking like it could grow again - to more than 50.
Phyllis Larson has been leading the group for
a number of years, offering all of her time, talents,
and services free of charge. Even though her own
daughter, who was a nine year member of the 4-H
club, graduated several years ago, Larson continues
to lead the group, for the sake of the kids. She says,
however, she can’t do it alone and that’s where she is
grateful for the many volunteers who help her, help
the youth, of Wright County get the most they can
from belonging to a 4-H club.
There are volunteer parents who regularly offer
assistance in a variety of capacities, from bringing
food and drinks, to chairing committees, to working
at county events like 4-H Fun Night and the Wright
County Fair.
There are also community volunteers, who come
in to offer workshops in their field of interest and
expertise. Just in the past years, Wright Warriors have
had the opportunity to make jewelry with the creative
minds of Kalli Olson and/or Barb Jones; homemade
pizza crust and cinnamon sugar chips with Jaci
Anderson; tic-tac-toe boards with Del Kramersmeier
(who, by the way, has offered a class for the past three
years for Wright Warrior members); or bags and rugs
from recycled plastic bags with ????.
Others shared their expertise on animals or art,
like Karla Thompson who at the time was working
as the elementary art teacher at the Clarion-Goldfield
School. She taught the students about water-color and
reverse images. Dave Tjarks talked with members
who were interested in maybe raising and showing
rabbits at the county fair.
This is only a handful of the many volunteers
who make 4-H so great in Wright County. Larson
said they are always looking for new people with new
talents to come in and work with the kids. If you
would be interested, please contact her or any 4-H
member. The knowledge you have to offer could
open up a world of opportunity for the youth of this
community.

Club members of the Wright Warriors

Why 4-H?
By Kim Demory
[email protected]
4-H has been encouraging youth
development for more than 100
years. Now, with over six million
youth and adults working together to
promote leadership through handson experience, 4-H continues to
empower individuals to reach their
full potential.
Both boys and girls are welcome
to join in on the fun when they begin
fourth grade.
Participation can
continue through their senior year.
While the county fair is the highlight
of any 4-H member’s year, there is
a lot to be learned and discovered
along the way.
Several different clubs exist
within Wright County. Youth can
choose a club based on location,
age, or even special interest. Most
of these clubs usually meet once a
month. After general business is
conducted, there often times is a
learning or social session.
Participating in 4-H also has it’s
other benefits. Depending on age,
youth can go to camp, take trips to
the Omaha Zoo, travel to Chicago
or Washington D.C, and so much
more.
There are also local opportunities
like 4-H Fun Night where all Wright
County 4-Her’s and their families
invite the public to come and join
them in a night of fun and games.
Prizes are given away, raffles are
held, and a reigning 4-H Fun Night
king and queen are crowned to serve
over festivities at Share the Fun and
Fashion Revue at the Wright County
Fair in the summer.
If you would like more
information about 4-H in Wright
County, please contact Jessica

Quintas credited with one. The 18
total kills were led by Allen with
five followed by Dani Koester,
Kruckenberg and Purcell all with
three successful spikes each.
The team tallied up 20 digs,
with Kruckenberg making six and
both Axtell and Pickering five saves
each. Allen, Figueroa, Koester and
Wilson all chipped in with one
apiece.
“We played our game in
this one,” said head coach Karla
Tweeten. “The girls had to play
together because I changed up the
rotation and had girls in different
spots. It got them out of there lull,
because they needed to pay attention
to where they needed to be and who
was around them.”
The purple and gold played
three more matches that day,
losing to North Union, Osage and
Belmond-Klemme in a close match.
Set scores versus the Warriors
were L21-11 and L21-14. Team
serving was at 92 percent, with
both Pickering and Shivers going 6
of 6 with two aces each. Allen and
Purcell both had a couple of kills
each, with Axtell grabbing 11 digs
and Pickering nine.
“We were still in a bit of a rut,
but then had to follow that with a
faster tempo against Osage,” said
Tweeten.
Set scores versus the Green
Devils were L21-8 and L21-6. The
team served at nearly 93 percent,
with Axtell at 5 of 5, Kruckenberg
at 3 of 3 and Pickering at 2 of 2.
Allen and Kruckenberg had two
kills apiece, with Pickering making
four digs and both Axtell and
Kruckenberg three each. Set scores
versus the Broncos were W2220, L21-16 and L15-12. The team
served at just over 91 percent, with
Kruckenberg at 10 of 10 with an ace.
Figueroa was 9 of 9 with two ace
serves, Shivers 6 of 6 and Wilson 4
of 4 with an ace. Allen pounded four
kills, with Bailey Boyer and Wilson
adding two each. Pickering had 10
digs, with Kruckenberg adding six
and Axtell four. Purcell also had
three block assists for her night’s
work.
“We almost got this one, and
were feeding off the energy in the
gym,” said Tweeten. “There was
another match going on at the same
time, and the crowd was into that
one which I think helped us too.
It was over by our second set, and
that’s when we let up a bit. Overall
for the day, I was impressed with
our energy and intensity. It was
good to see the team that I know we
are come back to the forefront.”
In a match last Thursday in
Fort Dodge, the Eagles lost to St.
Edmond in straight sets by scores
of 25-13, 25-11 and 25-13. The team
served at just over 92 percent versus
the Gaels, with Pickering at 12 of
13 with three ace serves. Figueroa
was 6 of 6, Kruckenberg 5 of 5 and
Shivers 6 of 7 with two aces. Axtell
was 3 of 4, with Allen, Koester and
Wilson all successful on one serve
each.
Shivers had seven assists,
Figueroa three and Wilson one as
setters. Kruckenberg had five kills,
with Purcell getting in on two.
Allen, Leslie Cooper, Figueroa,
Mallory Hammitt and Pickering all
pounded home one good spike each.
The 36 digs were divided
up among seven ladies, with
Kruckenberg having 10 as her share.
Pickering was close with nine saves
of the ball, while Figueroa made
eight and Axtell four. Hammitt
and Shivers both had two each and
Koester one. Hammitt and Wilson
each had a block assist.
“We were still in that lull here,
and just didn’t have the energy we
needed,” said the head coach. “I felt
going in that we could compete with
them, but we didn’t play well enough
to do so. St. Ed has good hitters, and
our lack of communication hurt
us. While we had our moments,
we pretty much beat ourselves that
night.”
The team is now 3-25 overall,
and plays next Monday in a
triangular at Northeast Hamilton
with Paton-Churdan joining in.
Horticulture Hints:
Plant now for spring blooms
By Yvonne McCormick, ISU Extension Horticulturist
Have you ever noticed a beautiful bed of tulips, or
admired a colorful drift of daffodils in the spring? Now
is the time to think about planting those spring blooming
bulbs, which may be planted now that the weather has
turned cooler. Some folks have even gotten away with
planting bulbs up until the time the ground has frozen.
When choosing bulbs to purchase, bigger is better!
A healthy bulb will feel firm, and if squeezed gently, it
should feel solid, not hollow. Be aware of any mold,
sunken patches, or evidence of injury. Tunicate bulbs,
those types with a papery coat such as tulips, should
have their outer skin intact with no loose layers.
Always try to choose bulbs that have a firm base, with
no new root growth. The top tip should not have started
to grow. If a bulb has started to grow, make certain any
new growth is firm and healthy appearing. A growing
bulb should be planted soon for best results. Keep others
in a cool, dark location until you are ready to plant.
Daffodil bulbs are called “nosed” bulbs, and most
are double-nosed, as that is how they naturalize in the
landscape. A triple-nosed bulb will usually cost more,
but if a nose is smaller, it may take an additional year or
two before it will flower.
Most bulbs need full sun to perform at their best, and
will not flower well in shady areas. If the soil is too dry
or too wet, the bulbs may shrivel or rot. To improve
drainage, put about an inch layer of sand or grit in the
bottom of the hole before planting. To improve moisture
retention in dry soils, place about an inch or two of moist
compost in the bottom of the planting hole.
When adding fertilizer, such as bonemeal or
superphosphate, incorporate when preparing the soil
before placing the bulbs, as to be readily available for the
roots. It is best if fall planted bulbs are able to establish
roots before the ground freezes.
Bulbs look best planting in groups, rather than a single
line. In general, odd numbers are best for an attractive
look. To save time, some folks dig one large hole and
place the bulbs, rather than planting individually. And
remember—the pointed end of the bulb goes up!
When planting, the typical rule of thumb is that bulbs
should be planted at three times their height. Always
be sure to check the planting package instructions if
available for the suggested planting depth.
And of course, never plant bulbs when the ground
is very wet, to avoid soil compaction. Do water after
planting to settle the soil, but avoid overwatering, as the
bulbs may rot.
Did you know? Some people are allergic to hyacinth
bulbs, take care when handling and use gloves to avoid
an allergic reaction.

Eagles compile 259
rushing yards in
loss to West Fork
First points of season by Weber
BY LES HOUSER
[email protected]
The Eagle Grove varsity
football team took yet another
step towards putting it all together,
and breaking into the win column
again, after a great offensive
performance in a 33-6 loss to West
Fork last Friday at Sheffield.
“I was proud of our effort,”
said head coach Bruce Dahlhauser.
“We got over the cold weather
hurdle to start the game, then went
out and played some football. In
both the first and fourth quarters
we looked like a different team.
We controlled the ball, the clock
and made more yards on more
plays than West Fork. After a
scoreless first quarter, we were
excited. Then in the second period
we turned the ball over twice in
back to back drives. It allowed
West Fork to score, and our third
turnover in the quarter got us
down 12-0. Winning all those
stat categories was huge, but our
turnovers was the difference in the
final score of the game.”
The 259 rushing yards was
headed by Jeremy Weber’s 144
yards on 23 attempts for an
average of 6.3-yards per carry. He
also scored the season’s first points
on a six-yard touchdown run.
Brandon Stuhr added 91 yards on
27 carries, Parker Slagle 13 yards
on a single attempt and Graeham
Schope 11 yards on three carries.
Weber attempted four passes with
no completions but one pick.
Jon Mendoza kicked off twice
for a little over a 25.2-yard average,
while Weber booted one punt for
22 yards. Julian Calderon returned
two kicks for 46 total yards, Caleb
Baker two kicks for two yards,
Weber one kick for 23 yards and
Stuhr a kick return for 16 yards.
There were no punt returns.
The tackle chart shows Dylan
Huse with 13 total including one
as a solo stop. Weber made 11
tackles with three solo, while
Jared Beecher had 11 as all assists.
Calderon had eight total with
one as a solo tackle, while Stuhr
finished with eight total and all
assists. Sam Johnson made five
total with two as solo efforts,
Slagle four total with two solo and
Saxon Lyman three assists. Kent
Jorgensen and Tanion Pohlman
both had two assists, while Schope
made one solo tackle and Mendoza
one assist. Johnson had a tackle for
a loss.
“We were not as locked in
mentally as we should have been
through the middle of the game,
but our effort was still high all
night,” said Dahlhauser. “We’ve
talked to the guys a lot about

EGMS cross country program
has been built with eye to future
Coaches Sarah and Jake Groth work with 21 runners
BY LES HOUSER
[email protected]
The results of their efforts are
already being noticed, and coaches
Sarah and Jake Groth are enjoying
the success and achievements of
their middle school cross country
kids.
“It’s not just about us,” Sarah
was quick to point out. “Any
success that this middle school
team has had, and will continue
to have, is a direct result of their
desire to work hard and to work
together as a team. These runners
understand that despite running
races individually, they are also
working toward bigger team goals.
Many times in practice, when one
of the quicker runners is done with
a workout they turn around on
the route, find the last person out
there, and run back with them. No
one is left behind on this team.”
It was back in the spring
of 2012 when the school board
decided to create a middle school
coaching position, and high school
girls coach Mike Herrington
approached Sarah Groth after
hearing that she was a runner.
“It seemed like a good
opportunity, as I was leaving the
high school that year to move
down to a teaching position at
the middle school, so I applied,”
said Sarah. Her husband became
involved as a volunteer coach
this year after they experienced a
high number of kids expressing an
interest in going out for the sport.
They are now working with 15
girls and six boys in preparing for
several meets during the season,
including this week’s Dick Bell
Invitational.
“Previously, the program had
anywhere from just a few to maybe
ten or eleven runners,” said Sarah.
“Before this coaching position
was created, they would run with
the high school team. It’s not that
the high school coaches didn’t do a
good job with the younger kids, but
it’s just that the middle school’ers
and high school’ers are different
breeds of kids and runners.”
She feels that a big part of
getting kids to come out for sports,
any sport, in middle school is
providing a positive environment
and being an encouraging presence
on the course, field, mat or court.
“It also certainly helps that Jake
and I get the opportunity to develop
relationships with students in the
classroom, and get the chance
to talk to them about the sport,”
added Sarah. They have also
implemented a summer running
routine for the kids, and have
found those runners interested and
motivated in their time off from
classes. “We ran together two or
three times a week this summer,
and they would run on their own a
few more times during the week,”
said Sarah.
That extra work has started
showing benefits in the results for
these kids, and the Groth’s feel that
should only get better as the eighth
graders move up to the high school
team next year. “Yes, there are
quite a few runners right now that
I feel are going to be strong high
school runners,” said Sarah. “I
know Ben and Mike are definitely
anxious to have some of these kids
on their squads next year.” Those
kids named by the coach include
Jacob Arbaugh, Alecia Anderson,
Hannah Demory, Riley Ettinger,
Elizabeth Varland, Brittany CanoRodriguez and Delany AscheMolitor. “They will be some big
additions to the teams next year,”
said Sarah. “They’re all hard
workers and want to make some
big statements!”
She feels that the whole
idea behind the creation of a
middle school position was for
these student-athletes to have the
opportunity to work more closely
with a coach that was just ‘their
coach’, and by having that chance
they can work more on the basics
and develop the foundation for
strong runners. “Our hope is that
by starting to develop dedicated
runners in middle school, we will
continue the tradition of strong
high school programs,” said Sarah.
“Eagle Grove should be proud of
these 20 young runners, because
they are going to enjoy a lot of
success in the future.”

believing in themselves, the game
plan and the guys next to them.
We came out and turned it on in
the fourth quarter to finally get a
touchdown. It was frustrating that
we moved the ball in the first but
couldn’t put it in. I think the guys
know what they need to do now to
take their game to the next level.”
This week-Emmetsburg (
3-3, 2-1) at Eagles ( 0-6, 0-3):
The E-Hawks come to town off
a 48-6 win over Central Springs.
“We’ll be in for a tough, physical
game,” said Dahlhauser. “If we
don’t come out mentally prepared
to battle it could be a long night.
We need to put our best effort out
there. If we don’t win, we still can
come out happy with our effort.
We’re confident right now, and if
they can build on that we’ll be in
the game.”

breadbasket of the world has hungry
children too.
O’Dell explained that the church
members raised the funds to pay for
the food, which came in bulk to be
broken down by the volunteers into
the smaller meal packages. “They
lineup the volunteers to provide
the labor, with all shipping donated
which helps put more money into
the meals.” He said the cost is about
$1.20 per bag.
O’Dell brought everything
needed for the day by truck, the
same truck that then carried the
boxed meals back for distribution.
There were three lines of tables for Workers placed cups of white rice and soy through a funnel

afternoon. In assembly line fashion,
workers started by putting a cup each
of white rice and soy into the bag
followed by a cup of dried vegetables
and a packet of vitamin mixture. The
bag then went down the line to be
weighed, vacuum-sealed and boxed.
Several of the workers on that
first shift were experienced with this
already, while for others it was their
first time. They ranged from young to
older folks, and they were all having
a good time in serving the Lord while
helping others.
“I’ve done this several times
already,” said Ashley Watne. It’s a
nice way to give back.”
“Helping feed the hungry makes
me feel good,” said Eden Polzin. “I
like to help out.”
“We’re feeding kids that might not
get any food,” said Sandy Stevenson,
who has also helped serve at Feed the
Starving Children in Minneapolis.
“It’s a very worthwhile cause.”
“I’ve never done this before,
and wanted to help today,” said
Dean Nelson. “It’s new for me, but
it sounded like a neat thing to do.
It’s a way to give back to others less
fortunate.”
“It was exciting to see what we
could do when we come together as
a community,” said Pastor Bill Kem
of the Clarion United Presbyterian
Church who also worked the assembly
line for a shift. “The Presbyterian,
Catholic, Congregational and Lutheran
Churches were all represented today,
and it was a great mix of the young
and not-so-young. It cost us $5,000,
and a few hours of work, but we made
25,900 meals for hungry people. It’s
not quite like feeding five thousand Pictured below: The sealed meal bags are stacked to prepare

but it’s a great way to spend our time allowing for more money available to purchase the food.
