Tackling goals requires always putting best foot forward
Rector gives more information
on the prairie restoration project
By Les Houser
“Maybe we can do this, it’s a start,”
said Wright County Conservation’s
Eric Rector in giving a presentation
this past Sunday of additional
information on the proposed prairie
restoration project near Heartland
Museum. According to Mary
Tesdahl, the Board is still just
considering it and would like to start
preparing the area this summer if
they decide to go forward with the
plan. The museum has a 1 1/2 acre
area available just south of the new
red building which houses “Big
Bud” tractor.
Rector provided a visual on the
history of tall grass prairies in Iowa
over the past 100 years. There were
once 28 million acres of native prairie
in the state, which were part of over
240 million acres nationwide. He also
referenced a book by John Madson,
who is considered a foremost expert
on prairie reconstruction, called
“Seasons of the Tall Grass Prairie.”
Rector explained that the native
prairies of America attracted a host
of wildlife and birds, including bear,
buffalo and prairie chickens to name
just a few. Many different species
of wildflowers, plants and grasses
stood on land that had once never
seen a plow, at least not until one was
later developed. “It was an ecosystem
that worked well together,” said
Rector. “Now less than one percent
nationwide remains as native prairie.”
Rector listed the primary needs
for a prairie restoration project as
land, a dedication to the project, an
array of volunteers, some dollars to
purchase what’s needed (donations
are possible), seed and plant sources,
equipment such as a mower, disc
and sprayer and lots of patience. “It
takes time, at least three to five years
for the prairie to grow and develop,”
said Rector. He told the group of
people gathered that some species of
wildflowers can be found in railroad
right of ways or road ditches around
the county. If it can’t be found within
the county, he believes the seed
stock needs to come from reputable
companies. “I try to get everything I
use from within Wright County,” said
Rector. “There could even be some
native seed left in the ground in that
area (of the proposed prairie).”
Once the ground has been prepared
(sterilized with Round-Up to kill out
undesirable growth), the seed can
then be sown. Rector feels the best
way to do that is just scattering the
seed by hand. The area then needs
to be mowed until the species root
systems are established. This is when
the patience, and labor by volunteers,
comes into the picture as the area is
‘babied’ until the grasses and plants
start to establish themselves and
begin to grow. Over the first one to
three years, the mower raised to cut
the area slightly higher until leaving
an eight-inch cut in the third year.
“Weeds will become a problem,”
said Rector. “They will need to be
pulled, cut or treated individually
with Round-Up (using a glove
soaked in the weed killer and rubbed
directly one each one).” He also said
that portions of the prairie can be
burned off every 3-5 years to allow
new growth as the prairie restores
itself naturally. “After the prairie
becomes established, you may see
areas of soil where nothing grows,”
said Rector. “Those root systems
take up a lot of space.” He also noted
that residents can see compass plants
growing along Highway 17 between
Eagle Grove and Goldfield.
“It’s up to you what you want
to do,” concluded Rector to the
museum board members gathered.
“I don’t have the time to spearhead
the project, but I’ll gladly provide
any technical assistance you need.”

Targeted case management
merging with regional program
By: Jacob Snyder
[email protected]
Providing great quality care to a
broader scope of people at the lowest
cost possible.
That about sums up the reason
why merging the Wright County
Social Services (CSS) Targeted Case
Management program into the CSS
Integrated Care Coordination was
the option chosen out of the three
possibilities.
Jen Sheehan, coordinator of CSS,
presented Resolution 2015-11 to the
Wright County Board of Supervisors
at their March 9 meeting.
It was approved unanimously by
the Board and thus, the merge will be
effective as of April 1, 2015.
“Everything has been approved up
to having the county’s join on with
the Integrated Care Coordination,”
Sheehan said.
The original plan when the 28E
agreement between the county and
CSS Targeted Case Management
program was signed in June 2014 was
terminate the agreement at the end
of the year. A 28E Agreement is an
agreement made between two entities
for a common purpose.
The hope was Targeted Case
Management would move forward
in the new year in one of three
directions: go off on their own as an
individual program, join a regional
program, or move forward and work
with a private entity.
But Sheehan explained that they
were not ready to make a decision
yet. So, the county extended the
Agreement.
At the March 9 meeting, she
told the Board they now want to
move forward and have chosen to
merge with the CSS Integrated Care
Coordination.
“The big difference here is going to
be the name change,” Sheehan said.
“Instead of going by Targeted Case
Management, we are calling it Care
Coordination.
One of the main reasons for the
name change is it helps broadens
the scope of who the organization
can help. Basically, they can provide
care to a larger pool of people at the
same cost. In general, the goal of the
regional programs is to have less
overhead.
Most of the day-to-day operations
will look the same, according to
Sheehan.
Many of the changes will occur
then “behind the scenes, for example
with billing, budgets and cost reports,
to name a few. And the merge will not
change the fact that these employees
will still be county employees.

Tackling one’s goals and
succeeding requires not only
physical strength but also a mentally
sound mind.
Jeremiah George, a linebacker
for the Jacksonville Jaguars and
guest speaker Saturday night March
7, spoke about his many and various
experiences on and off the field that
led him to develop this philosophy
at the First Annual Sports Booster
Banquet held at Water’s Edge at the
Clarmond Country Club.
The Banquet served as a
celebration of the Sports Boosters’
many successes and a “thank
you” to the organization as well as
the parents, student athletes, and
community for their support of it
since its inception.
“In the past 10 years, we have
been able to raise $250,000 thanks to
your generosity,” said Bob Powers,
of the Boosters.
Many coaches and student
athletes were on hand as well
as numerous other community
members.
Dr. Bob Olson, superintendent of
C-G-D, helped auction off 35 items
at the Banquet. A singlet signed
by the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows
Wrestling team, who are the 2015
Dual State Wrestling Tournament
champions, went for $1,900.
George started his inspiring talk,
which followed a prime rib meal, by
defining success and go over some
of his successes in football thus far.
The Clearwater, Fla., native not
only played football at Clearwater
High School but went on to post
some impressive numbers as an
Iowa State Cyclone player. Among
his accomplishments, George led the
Big 12 Conference in tackles with
133 his senior year of college.
Of the two types of strengths, he
started with mental by explaining
that a person must make up their
mind today that they want to achieve
their goals.
Important in developing that
mental “soundness” is self-talk. He
explained how crucial it is to give
yourself positive affirmations often.
“Self-talk can be your biggest
contributor to your success,” George
said.
Then, there is the other part,
working on your physical strength,
working hard and smart. He said
once you reach a goal, don’t just
settle for that, go beyond it.
“You have to be willing
to outwork your best self,” he
explained.
And even if a person is physically
strong and mentally sound, they will
still face adversity. At this point,
make sure you have people in your
lives to turn to for help.
For George, his coaches, family
and friends provide a solid support
network. Like him, he said each
person must also find those who you
know will push you to succeed and
be there along the way.
The most important thing of all,
he commented toward the end of the
presentation, is approaching these
goals the right way.
George said if you approach your
goals timidly, you won’t get very far.
Instead, attack them and use what
works for you to do so.
“Use your best tool when
bringing down your assignment,” he
said.
The Jacksonville Jaguar then
answered a few questions before
Jeremiah George, a linebacker for the Jacksonville Jaguars, started his
presentation by defining success. He was the guest speaker at the First
Annual Sports Booster Banquet held at Water’s Edge at the Clarmond
Country Club on Saturday evening, March 7.
Mike Ryerson, of Ryerson Realty,
LLC, began auctioning off 35 items.
A variety of items were donated
for it like reserved seating for six at
all home football games and track
meets and an autographed football
by George.
A singlet signed by the Dual State
Wrestling champion team ClarionGoldfield-Dows High School went
for $1,900.
Robert Olson, superintendent of
the C-G-D School District, helped
Ryerson with the auction. Other
Booster members walked around
showcasing the items while bids
were taken.
Sleep health encompasses more than just
getting recommended amount of ‘shut eye’
By: Jacob Snyder

Sawing wood. Catching z’s.
Sleep. People spend a third of their
lives doing it, but how much do
we, the general public, really know
about the subject?
Well, if you, probably like many
others, want to learn more, this is the
perfect time to do so because March
is National Sleep Awareness Month.
And during these 31 days, sleep
experts like Marc Schlichting,
head of the Sleep and Neurology
Department at Iowa Specialty
Hospital, want to educate people
on the importance of adequate sleep
and the problems associated with not
getting enough of it.
“If someone has a sleep
disorder, this could cause adverse
health consequences such as heart
problems, stroke, lung issues…and
many other problems that carry on
throughout each day,” Schlichting
said.
Schlichting has been in this line
of work for more than 10 years and
has conducted roughly 4,000 sleep
studies.
Valerie McClure also works
with him in the Department. She
is a registered polysomnographic
technologist (RPGST).
McClure now conducts the sleep
studies and Schlichting is in charge
of overseeing the process.
Back when he first started,
sleep health was somewhat of a
new concept so, course, not much
research had been done on the
subject.
However, over the past 10-15
years, the research and knowledge
on it has “exploded,” Schlichting
says. Yet, he still considers it to be
fairly new, even today.
Consequently, experts like him
know how crucial it is to continue
educating the general public on new

Neurology Department at Iowa Specialty Hospital, explains the various
components and proper way to wear this Continuous Positive Airway
Pressure, CPAP for short, sleep mask to Tim Buhr, of Garner.
information they are learning about
sleep health.
“As we find out more and more
about sleep and its effects on the
mind and body, we are able to detect
and treat the disorders that are the
root causes of other more serious
health problems associated with
them,” Schlichting said.
Here are just a few numbers to
give you an idea on how prevalent
sleep issues are today and thus, the
need for even more public awareness
than there is now.
According to experts, roughly
80 million people suffer from some
type of sleeping disorder, there are
about 100 different ones.
Of those 80 million, about 30
percent, or an estimated 26 million,
suffer from sleep apnea, a disorder
where a lack of breathing exists for
short periods of time throughout a
night.
From the 4,000 sleep studies
conducted, Schlichting named sleep
apnea as one of the most common
issues he sees. The other two,
insomnia and sleep hygiene.
Insomnia is a persistent disorder
making it difficult for a person to
fall asleep, stay asleep or both.
Sleep hygiene has more to do with a
person’s nighttime habits.
“Sleep hygiene...is what are you
supposed to do and what you are not
supposed to do,” Schlichting said.
Some of things you are supposed
to do to create a good sleep
environment is keep your bedroom
at a comfortable temperature and
clean and refrain from having pets
and electronics in the room.
In order to get to the root of the
problem, a patient first participates
in a sleep study. Throughout the
night, a patient’s brain wave activity
among others is monitored.
From the results, the doctor and
sleep experts like Schlichting decide
the best way to tackle the issue or
issues.
And from participating in a sleep
study and finding a solution, a person
will not only sleep better but it will
also have positive affects your life in
general. Just ask Tim Buhr and Rob
Schmidt about that.
Buhr, of Garner, knew he was a
snorer, but didn’t realize there was
a serious issue until an incident
brought that to light for him.
He was driving through a
controlled construction area and
upon starting to drive when the
light turned green, he suddenly
nodded off. This would cause him to
sideswiped another vehicle.
“That’s when I thought, ‘Okay, I
need to take care of this,’” Buhr said.
After consulting with the Sleep
and Neurology Department and
participating in a sleep study, it
was determined he needed to begin
wearing a mask, called a Bi-level
Positive Airway Pressure, BiPAP
for short, machine, to help with his
breathing through the night.
Today, Buhr is a changed man in
every way, not just with the fact that
he gets a better night sleep.
“It’s really perked me up,” he
said. “I don’t have any issues driving
anymore. I don’t have issues with
nodding off anymore.”
“These testimonials and many
others are an important to National
Sleep Awareness Month, too,”
Schlichting said.
They, along with the educational
component,
are
methods
to
raise awareness and clear up
misunderstandings about sleep
disorders and sleep studies.
“Many people are unaware or
misled about what is causing their
fatigue, irritability, weight gain, etc.
and this is a way to raise awareness
by giving some specific examples,”
he added.

Two in one
It was quite a night of music at the
Clarion-Goldfield-Dows High School
gym. Eight grades contributed their
vocal and instrumental talents to
the concert. Both the C-G-D Middle
and High School shows were held
Thursday, March 5, due to the
weather. Under the direction of Mr.
Wesselink, the fifth grade band
kicked the evening off with “Old
Macdonald Had A Band” and from
there, the students entertained the
crowd for the rest of the evening with
a wide variety of musical selections.

We are now almost halfway through
the 2015 session and have reached
the point where new legislation can
no longer be introduced. I regret
seeing the elimination of bills I
submitted defining marriage as one
man/one woman, defending life at
ALL stages of development and
nullifying federal regulations that go
beyond the power allotted to the feds
by the Constitution.
A list of other good bills which
won’t see the light of day include:
Senate Joint Resolution 10 which
would amend the Iowa Constitution
to include the 99 percent spending
limitation.
Senate Joint Resolution 11
would add the Second Amendment
language of the U.S. Constitution
(the right to keep and bear arms) to
the Iowa Constitution.
SF 390 would keep confidentiality
for Iowans with personal carry gun
permits.
SF 389 would require the Iowa
Department of Human Services to
limit services to legal residents.
And SF 388 would end payroll
deductions of public employees for
union dues. This would not prevent
employees from belonging to a
union. It would just take the state out
of the business of collecting dues
Nancy’s Notes
I hope you aren’t expecting all
my library history lessons to be
in chronological order. I have two
large files of articles that have been
thrown together over the years, so as
I find something of interest to me, I
will pass it along to you. The article
I am writing about this week was
published in March of 1907. It gives
readers quite a lot of biographical
information on Morgan Everts, Esq.,
the name sake of the original library.
He was born in Mexico, New York in
1827. He worked on a farm until he
was twenty years old. It was around
that time that the gold rush broke out
in California so he wanted to head
West to find his fortune. Unable to
secure financial assistance from
relatives, he worked for two seasons
on a canal. He then traveled to
California via the Strait of Magellan.
Reaching his destination five months
later, Everts spent three years in the
mines. Shortly after the Civil War
began he enlisted and served for
three years. In 1865 he came to Iowa
and located in Webster City where
he engaged in the land and loan
business. At one time he held large
real estate interests in Wright and
Hamilton counties. After earning
most of his fortune in the area, he
extended an offer of $10,000 to the
City of Clarion for the erection of
a public library. In 1884 when his
health began to fail he returned to
California where he then made his
and keeping books for the unions.
We did move a bill out of committee
to encourage development of
broadband access to all parts of
Iowa. SF 60 will be coming to the
floor later in the session.
I enjoyed having Pastor Weaver of
Forest City open the Senate in prayer
this week and later giving his family
a tour of the Capitol. I encourage
anyone from District 4 to stop at
the Capitol to say hi and see how
government works.
I will be in Estherville Saturday,
March 7, with Representative
Gassman for a forum. We will be
at the Regional Wellness Center at
11 a.m. I will also be in the Eagle
Grove Library at 8 a.m., The Train
Depot - Clarion at 9:30 a.m. and
Belmond City Hall at 11 a.m. on
March 20.
On a more personal note, this
morning my sixth grandchild
was born. This event serves as a
reminder that what I do at the Capitol
will have an impact for generations
to come. I strive every day to use
common sense and think of the long
term consequences of the legislation
we pass. You can always contact me

Debbie Macomber is a favorite
of many of our patrons. Her latest
is, “Last One Home”. Growing up,
Cassie Carter and her sisters, Karen
and Nichole, were incredibly close,
until one fateful event drove them
apart. After high school, Cassie
ran away from home to marry the
wrong man, throwing away a college
scholarship and breaking her parents’
hearts. Cassie had always been
their father’s favorite, a feeling that
weighed heavily on her sisters and
made Cassie’s actions even harder
to accept. After ending a difficult
marriage at the age of thirty-one,
Cassie has moved back home with
her daughter in the hope of leaving
her past behind. Despite the strides
Cassie’s made, she hasn’t been able
to make peace with her sisters. Then
one day, Cassie receives a letter from
for her older sister, offering what
Cassie thinks may be a chance to
reconcile. As Cassie opens herself up
to new possibilities, making amends
with her sisters and finding love
once more, she realizes the power
of compassion, and the promise of a

House Happenings
By: Representative Terry Baxter
District 8 Representative serving Hancock, Wright and southern Kossuth counties
[email protected] or (515) 281-3221
One of my primary campaign
promises was to work on advancing
Second Amendment rights for law
abiding Iowans. I serve on the
Bipartisan Judicial Committee. I am
pleased to announce that this week
we advanced House Study Bill 201,
an act relating to the manufacture,
acquisition, sale and use of firearms
and suppressors. A similar bill also
passed the Judicial Committee in
the Senate on Thursday. Both bills
focus on keeping Iowans safe while
ensuring Second Amendment rights
are preserved.
In 2010, Iowa law was changed to
make it easier for law abiding citizens
to receive a permit to carry a firearm.
While this change was helpful,
several problems still exist in current
law. HSB 201 attempts to address
those issues. Under this proposal,
Iowans will still have to renew their
carry permit every 5 years, but will
only be required to retrain every 10
years and more time will be given to
renew the permit. Currently, permits
are not uniform across the state and
it is difficult for officials to verify
a permit. Under HSB 201 permits
would have a uniform appearance
and a statewide verification system
would be established to help both
law enforcement and permit holders.
We did consent to add an amendment
that imposes a $10 fine for persons
carrying without their valid carrying
permit on their person.
Firearms suppressors are legal in
a majority of states but are currently
are not legal in Iowa. HSB 201
legalizes suppressors and creates a
process for a chief law enforcement
officer to approve the paperwork
necessary for the purchase of a
suppressor. Federal law governs
the purchase and possession of
suppressors, this change allows
Iowans to have suppressors in
accordance with federal law.
Currently in Iowa, parents are
prohibited from teaching a child
younger than 14 how to safely
shoot a pistol or revolver. This
bill eliminates that ban and allows
parents the right to teach their
children about firearms safety at any
age. It does not grant minors the
right to own a handgun or have a
carrying permit.
HSB 201 would also ensure
permit privacy for Iowans. When a
person applies for a permit to carry
a weapon or a permit to purchase,
private information will be collected
by the county sheriff and added to
an electronic data base. However,
there are strong privacy protection
measures and it does not establish
any kind of a gun registry.
Some have asked why the
electronic data base will remain
private.
First, this prevents
unnecessary harassment from the
media. Second, this hinders the
government from violating the
constitutional rights of every law
abiding citizen who choose to
lawfully own and responsibly use a
fire arm for sporting or self-defense
purposes. Third, keeping the list
private protects unarmed citizens
from discovery by criminals who
might cruise the list to find “soft
targets” of unarmed and unprotected
citizens. You may choose to not
protect yourself, but it would be very
foolish to advertise that information
with a searchable data base available
to the general public.
The bill passed by the House
Judicial Committee, but does not
include a “Stand Your Ground”
provision at this point. During my
discussion with other law makers,
it was stated that this would most
likely become the tipping point that
would kill the whole bill. I agree
with that assessment. “Stand Your
Ground” will have to be a separate
bill in the future. Right now we need
to get everything we can into the law
books to protect the right of every
law abiding Iowan to own and keep
guns for sporting and self- defense
purposes. Watch closely over the
next few weeks as these two bills
are merged in to one bill and move
toward floor debates and hopefully
to our Governor’s desk soon.

and the second is to add a lateral tile at the
request of a landowner. Cook then continued
to go through the background, location and
options.
Cook informed the board he was contacted
by a landowner to explore the new lateral
option. After some discussion in regards to
the landowner contacting the engineer, it
was decided that the landowner needs to file
a petition for improvement for the new lateral
within 10 days in the office of the Wright County
Auditor.
Motion by Watne and seconded by
Rasmussen to approve the engineers report
on DD #93 for options one, two and three,
and tentatively approve options four, five and
six pending the landowner filing a petition for
improvement. Motion carries.
Rasmussen to appoint David Cook, Drainage
Engineer, and disinterested landowners,
Robert Ritter and Dean Kluss to prepare a
reclassification report of benefit by March 30,
2015 for DD #93. Motion carries.
Rasmussen to set a public hearing on the
Engineers Report of Improvements and Report
of Classification for April 13, 2015 at 10:00
a.m. in the Board of Supervisors Room of
the Courthouse, Clarion, Iowa and direct the
Auditor’s office to send notice as per Iowa Code
section 468.14. Motion carries.
Chairman, Karl Helgevold then opened
the continued hearing from February 2, 2015,
which was tabled to allow time for the engineer
to add an open ditch option. Helgevold then
directed David Cook with McClure Engineering
to proceed.
Cook went through the engineers report
explaining the location, background, profiles
and existing condition of the tile. He then went
through the options of improvements.
A question was brought up about combining
this project with a bridge project. Cook informed
the landowner that the bridge was a county
project not a drainage district project. Another
question was how often an open ditch should
be cleaned out. Cook answered with about
15 – 20 years. A landowner then asked if the
open ditch option would follow the tile line or if
it could follow and/or use the road ditch. Some
discussion was then held in regards to vacating
part of Uptagraph Avenue and having an open
ditch follow the vacated road. Wright County
Engineer, Adam Clemons, stated that he would
have to do some research to check out the
feasibility of vacating that part of the road.
After further discussion it was decided to
table this hearing and reconvene at a later date
and direct the drainage engineer to explore an
option of creating an open ditch half way up the
district.
Rasmussen to reconvene this public hearing
on March 23, 2015 at 11:00 am in the Board
of Supervisors Room, Clarion, Iowa. Motion
carries.

35 Years Ago
March 13, 1980
This past Sunday was a great day
to be alive and living in the Clarion
area. The bright sunshine and warm
weather had people thinking about
spring. People were out and about.
While some were out enjoying a
ride on their motorcycle others were
walking the dog.
Some of the Clarion wrestlers
who have been important to the
team’s success throughout the season
include names like Brent Chapman,
Larry Stevens, Scott Wicks, Dave
Bossard, Jeff Urban, Eric Willim and
Joe Turner.
Starting tonight, residents of the
Clarion area can take advantage of
extended shopping hours. Most retail
stores in Clarion will now be open
until 9 a.m. Also, this means many
of the same stores will no longer be
open later on Monday evenings.

Remembering our loved ones....
Bonnie Judson
Bonnie Judson, 83, long time
resident of Clarion, Iowa, passed
away at her home on Tuesday, March
3, 2015 from natural causes.
A Celebration of Life for Bonnie
Judson will be held on Saturday,
March 7, 2015 at 11:00 a.m., at
the Holmes Baptist Church, 2137
Hancock Avenue in Holmes, with
Pastor Zach Fischer officiating.
Visitation will be held one hour
prior to services at the church on
Saturday.
Bonnie Ruth (Larsson) Judson
was born October 21, 1931 on a farm
near Dows, Iowa. She was the 6th of
7 children born to Harry Frederick
Larsson and Iris Opal (Tuel) Larsson.
Bonnie attended school in Dows,
Iowa graduating from high school in
1949. She met and married James
(Jim) Judson, Jr. that same year. The
couple made their home in several
Iowa communities including Dows,
Bellevue, and Waterloo. They were
married 56 years at the time of Jim’s
death in 2005.
Five children were born to Bonnie
and Jim; Jeffrey J. Judson (deceased
in 2012), Jennifer J. Judson-Harms
(Ted) from New Hampton, Iowa,
Janelle J. Rohrer (Tom) from
Burnsville, Minnesota, James E.
Judson III (Laura) from Union,
Missouri, and Jonathan J. Judson
(Kay Neumann) from Dedham,
Iowa.
Bonnie has 12 grandchildren;
Brandi Winters from Corwith, Iowa,
Jarret Judson from Tempe, Arizona,
Bill Smutz Jr. from Dysart, Iowa,
Bonnie Wolf from New Hampton,
Iowa, Jamie Nelson from Northwood,
Iowa, Ashley Danger from Iowa
Falls, Iowa, Gabriel Smutz from
Dubuque, Iowa, Benjamin Judson
from Otho, Iowa, Aubrey Judson
from Austin, Texas, Sally Serna from
Rochester, Minnesota, Ian Judson
from Dedham, Iowa, and Savanna
Judson from Dedham, Iowa. She
also has 23 great-grandchildren.
Bonnie was a homemaker and
a stay-at-home mom most of her
life. She worked for a short while
in the 1960s as a bookkeeper at an
egg processing plant in Clarion,
and later as a nurse’s aide at the
Clarion Hospital. In 1973 she and
Jim bought Weitman’s Flowers
in Clarion, a flower shop and
greenhouse where they worked and
lived until their retirement in 2003.
Bonnie continued to live at this
residence until her death.
She was preceded in death by
her husband, Jim, her son, Jeff, her
parents, and three brothers, Harry
Larsson Jr., Craig Larsson, and
Gene Larsson. She is survived by
four children, 12 grandchildren,
23 great-grandchildren, and three
sisters, Flora Specht (Wilbur) from
Danville, Iowa, Donna Ross (Omer)
from Mazeppa, Minnesota, and Jane
Sorensen from Protivin, Iowa, along
with many nieces and nephews.
Bonnie was a member of Holmes
Baptist Church where she attended
faithfully for many years. She loved
the Lord, her large family, her cats,
baking, cooking, and gardening. She
will be sadly missed by her family,
her church family, and many friends.

Iowa Specialty Hospital Partners with University of Iowa
Hospitals & Clinics to Launch Telemedicine Service
eConsult Service Brings Medical Specialist Care to Belmond & Clarion ER’s with Real Time Video
University of Iowa Hospitals and
Clinics are now more accessible to
Iowa Specialty Hospital and their
area residents than ever before. Iowa
Specialty Hospital is now able to
offer the eConsult service, connecting
their Emergency Departments with
specialists at UI Hospitals and
Clinics for emergency consultations.
The eConsult service uses a secure,
face-to-face video conferencing
connection from Iowa Specialty
Hospital to the University of Iowa to
help diagnose medical conditions and
recommend appropriate actions in
emergency situations.
The primary goal is to help
reduce the number of transfers by
providing specialist advice remotely
and allowing patients to receive
care, closer to home. The hospitalto-hospital solution comes at no
additional cost to patients and their
families. Rather, patients may avoid
an unnecessary transfer which could
result in cost savings.
It takes just a few minutes for a
staff member at a regional hospital
to connect with a UI physician using
The eConsult Cart, a movable video
conferencing station, and begin a
consultation. More than twenty UI
Physicians and Residents are trained
to answer eConsult calls that come
in from Iowa regional hospitals. A
dedicated emergency department
staff is available 24 hours a day,
seven days a week at the University
of Iowa.
Currently, the eConsult service is
offered at Iowa Specialty Hospital
for emergency medicine only. The
eConsult service is one of the first
major outreach initiatives from the
UI Hospitals and Clinics’ eHealth +
eNovation Center, lead by Dr. Patrick
Brophy, to expand telemedicine
offerings. Iowa Specialty Hospital
and several other regional hospitals in
Iowa have implemented the eConsult
service or are slated to launch the
program in the coming months.
Iowa Specialty Hospital is proud
to be affiliated with the University of
Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.

Be Safe this
St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick’s Day is quickly
approaching. Unfortunately, this
holiday has become a deadly day
with a dramatic spike in drunkdriving fatalities. According to the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), in 2013,
40-percent of all crash fatalities
during the St. Patrick’s Day weekend
involved drunk drivers, and that
number rose to 55-percent in the
post-party hours of midnight to 6
a.m. of March 18. Almost 75-percent
of those fatalities involved drivers
who were twice the legal limit. Over
the last four years, nationwide, drunk
driving kills on average 68 people
each St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
Don’t let your St. Patrick’s Day
end in tragedy. Before you take
your first sip of green beer, make a
plan. If you become impaired and
don’t have a designated driver, call
a friend, relative, cab or use public
transportation to get home safely.
It you think a cab fare is expensive,
consider the average $10,000 expense
of getting an OWI, including higher
insurance rates, attorney fees, court
costs, towing fees, lost wages, and
other unanticipated expenses.
Be safe and smart this St. Patrick’s
Day holiday! Extra law enforcement
officers will be on the roads March
13 to 17, 2015, to keep Iowa motorist
safe. Whether you’re buzzed or
drunk, it doesn’t matter. Buzzed
driving is drunk driving – drive sober.

World Day of Prayer
People of all ages from all around the United States and world took some time to come together at different
points throughout the day on March 6 for the World Day of Prayer. The theme for this year’s celebration
was, “Do you understand what I have done for you?” Two services were held in Clarion, one at The Meadows
Independent Living Home (above) and the other at the First Lutheran Church of Clarion (below). During
the service at the Church, Monica Staudt, a member of the Holy Family Cluster, gave a talk and answered
questions about being part of the Medical Mission Team who recently traveled to Haiti.

Gas tax increase will
bring in about a half
million dollars annually
By: Jacob Snyder
[email protected]
The Iowa gas tax hadn’t been
increased for a quarter of a century,
that is, until late February.
Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad signed
a bill February 25 that will raise
the tax 10 cents. It went into effect
March 1.
At the county level, roughly
$505,000 per year will be added to
the secondary road fund thanks to
the new bill, according to county
engineer Adam Clemons. That’s
roughly $42,000 a month.
Also, approximately $136,000
will be added their Farm-To-Market
account annually.
About $1,000 will be added to the
fund each year that is used for towns
with a population under 500 people,
too.
The increase will also affect the
consumer on the other side of the
equation.
“For the average consumer, they
will see about a $60 increase per
year,” Clemons said at the Wright
County Board of Supervisors
meeting March 9. In other words,
about $5 per month.
There was a portion of this new
bill that also increased costs for
oversize/overload permits.
Thus, effective Jan. 1, 2016,
annual oversize permits will be
raised from $25 to $50, annual
oversize/overweight permits from
$300 to $400 and single trip permits
from $10 to $35.
Clemons said this could add up
to about $4,000 more annually,
depending on the year. That is to say,
the total can vary widely from year
to year.
In other news, the Board continued
their discussion on the possibility of
switching phone providers.
They again talked about the
various options in front of them
but did not making any decisions
to move forward with a particular
company at this point.
As for hiring an information
technology person, the county has
begun the process by putting an
advertisement in the newspaper and
will be taking applications.
Hunter Education Class
To Be Held in March
The
Wright
County
Conservation Board will be
sponsoring a Hunter Education class
Tuesday and Thursday, March 24
and 26 from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. at
the Enclosed Shelter House at Lake
Cornelia Park. The class will finish
up with a Field Day on Saturday,
March 28, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m. at Oakdale Park located three
miles north of Goldfield.
Students must attend all three
sessions in order to pass the class.
Included in the training will be
gun safety, information about
firearms and ammunition, wildlife
management, ethics, laws, archery,
and shooting.
According to Iowa law, anyone
born after January 1, 1972, is
required to have ten hours of hunter
education training to buy a hunting
license. Upon completion of this
course, students will receive a
certificate showing that they have
completed the course, which will
allow them to purchase their hunting
license in Iowa and almost all other
states and provinces.
The class is free, limited to 35
students, and lunch will be provided
for Saturday’s class. Students must
be at least 11 years old to take this
class.
Students must pre-register for
this class; registration is now done
online. You do not need to call to
register. Register at www.iowadnr.

Check presented to School’s wrestling team
For every Clarion-Goldfield-Dows High School wrestler that qualified for the Traditional State Wrestling Tournament, six in all, and for each of the
three Dual State Wrestling Tournament wins this year, First Citizens National Bank donated $50 for a grand total of $450. The Bank presented a
check to the C-G-D Wrestling team last Friday morning, March 6. Members of the C-G-D Sports Booster were also on hand for the presentation.
Students share their
positive experiences at
Academy with Board members
By: Jacob Snyder
[email protected]
The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows High
School football roster could grow
by five, ten or even fifteen players
by the time the 2015 season comes
around.
Steve Lane, from the CoulterAlexander-Latimer (CAL) School
District, explained that the High
School could be shipping their
football players this way if enough
of them don’t sign up to play on an
eight-man team.
Lane addressed the C-G-D School
Board about the possibility at their
regular March 9 meeting, noting
he would like to see around 20
committed to playing football in
order to keep the program going.
“If we get 18 or 19 kids, I would be
thrilled,” he said.
After hearing Lane’s proposal, the
Board’s approved it, meaning the
District is open to having the CAL
players sent here to play for the
Cowboys if enough don’t sign up to
create an eight-man team.
The Board will find out in the
upcoming months about the future
of the CAL football program.
In other news, Oscar Salgado and
Jacob Harvey, both seniors at C-G-D
High School, shared their experience
so far of taking classes at The Career
Academy in Eagle Grove. Both took
business courses there in the fall and
are taking three more this semester.
Salgado commented that he liked
talking with the professors and
beginning to learn what college
classes are like.
“It’s just a lot of fun,” Harvey
added. “And you get to meet new
people from other places like Eagle
Grove and Fort Dodge.”
Colleen Bartlett, a Career
Academy specialist, and Dennis
March, principal at the High School,
also explained a little bit about the
Academy, some of the advantages of
taking classes there and their hopes
even more students will enroll there
next year.
Besides allowing the students to
get “a taste” of what college is like,
enrolling there also allows them to
take an important step forward.
“Taking some of the courses allows
them to lay the groundwork for their
future studies,” Bartlett said.
March said one of neat parts for
him is watching the maturity level
of the students grow through these
experiences.
The Board also gave Dr. Robert
Olson, superintendent of the District,
the okay to move forward with the
process of writing and sending his
explanation for why the school
should be allowed to start the 201516 school year before the Iowa state
law allows. Olson commented that
the “deck is stacked against them”
as the state has made it difficult
for a school to get such a request
approved.
During the meeting, the Board
also mentioned that the First Annual
Sports Booster Banquet held March
7 was a big success. Around $10,000
was raised through the auctioning
off of 35 items. The guest speaker of
the evening was Jeremiah George,
a linebacker for the Jacksonville
Jaguars.
The next regular School Board
meeting will be held April 13 at 6
p.m. in the District Board Room at
the C-G-D Elementary School.
This facility is an Equal
Opportunity Provider and Employer.

from the budget presentation:
-First, the budget is based on a
four percent allowable growth. If
this figure is lower, then that will
cause the totals to also be lower
-The District’s total spending
authority is $13,055,223, which
includes the previous year’s unspent
balance of $2,130,060
-Miscellaneous income can be
from the federal, state, or local
level. One example is transportation
reimbursement
-The majority of the revenue,
about 78 percent, in the operating
fund will come from property taxes
and foundation aid
-The Clarion-Goldfield taxing
district’s tax levy rate will decrease
and the Dows and Corwith-Wesley
taxing district tax levy rates will
increase
-Sixty percent of the total tax levy
is controlled by the state while 18
percent by voters and 22 percent by
the School Board
Check out next The Monitor in
the next few weeks as there will
be an article providing a more indepth look at the District’s spending
authority budget.

PROBLEMS WITH YOUR

A preliminary budget hearing for
the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows School
District revealed that the School’s
spending authority for the 2015-16
school year is roughly $13 million.
Unlike a line-item budget, like
the name suggests, this one gives
the District the authority to spend a
certain amount of dollars.
This preliminary hearing was
held during the School Board’s
regular monthly meeting March 9.
“One of the advantages is, if
there’s something you want to
increase, we can still do that,” said
Dr. Robert Olson, superintendent
of the District, adding that once the
budget is published, if the Board
wants to change a number, they can
only decrease it.

Despite China’s refusal to approve Syngenta’s GMO
seed, Syngenta continued to sell its seed to U.S.
corn farmers. When China banned U.S. corn imports,
the price of corn fell dramatically, and corn farmers
across the country lost BILLIONS of dollars.
We represent individual farmers.
Our team represented over 2000 individual farmers in the Rice GMO claim. We opposed the class
action and secured more for the farmers we represented. Our group of lawyers will continue

Issues Warning on Ice Safety
Extra caution around ice is being urged by the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources as warmer weather is
causing conditions to deteriorate rapidly.
Three men drowned Saturday after falling through the ice
on a farm pond in Union County.
Ice depths are not uniform on any body of water and there
is no such thing as safe ice. Warmer weather makes the ice
even more unpredictable. There are many factors that impact
ice formation making some locations thinner than others.
With the warm weather, ice conditions can change a lot in
one day. Verify the ice thickness for yourself and test it often.
If the ice does not look right, stay off it.

Hospice Hosts Annual Remembrance
Candle Lighting Ceremony on Feb. 22
Hospice for Wright County hosted
their annual Remembrance Candle
Lighting Ceremony on Sunday,
Feb. 22, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the First
United Methodist Church Fireside
Room in Clarion. There were 42
people in attendance.
Pastor Zach Fischer from the
Holmes Baptist Church gave the
message for the Ceremony. Pastor
Fischer serves as one of three active
volunteer Chaplains for Hospice
for Wright County. Tiffini Toliver,
Wright County Health and Hospice
Administrator and Cheryl Johnson,
RN, CHPN and Director of Hospice
for Wright County helped with
conducting the ceremony, along with
Colleen Soma, Hospice Bereavement
and Volunteer Coordinator. Hospice
volunteers who also participated
in or helped with the ceremony
included Jean Bonjour, Alice Espe,
Sharion Hinman, Judy Kirstein,
Melvene Nickles, Cyndy McNulty,
Phyllis Macke and Cindy Riley.
Annie and Terri Avery of Rowan
provided special musical selections
“God of the Mountain” and “I’ll Fly
Away” for the ceremony by singing
together and playing their guitars.
As part of the ceremony, single
candles were lit in honor and
memory of loved ones who have
died in the past year.
Family
members and friends attending had
the choice to light the candle for
their loved one as their loved ones
name was read. The ceremony was
followed by a time of fellowship,
visiting and refreshments. Hospice
volunteers also provided and helped
serve refreshments, coffee and
punch following the ceremony.
Colleen Soma commented, “I
was happy to see such a wonderful
turnout considering the very frigid
temperatures that day. The ceremony
is such a meaningful and special way
to honor and cherish the memory of
all the people who were and always
will be a special part of all these
families’ lives. I appreciate the
help of Pastor Zach, Annie and Terri
Avery and our Hospice volunteers,
who help us to make this event so
special for everyone.”

Cowboy Freshmen Finish Season 10-3
Members of the 2014-2015 Clarion-Goldfield-Dows 7th grade boys basketball team are (front row, left to
right): Tyler Stein, Caleb Krueger, Carter Goodell; (middle row): Jose Portillo, Noah Roosa, Caden Sisson,
Clinton Miller; (back row): Coach Pat O’Brien, Jaace Weidemann, Clayton Kerch, Kaden Bricker, and Cole
Lindaman. “These 11 players gave it all they had throughout the season,” said Pat O’Brien. “It was evident to
all that by the time the season ended they grew as both individuals and as a team. They had the opportunity to
witness some very good teams in Algona and Humboldt, which solidified their goals as to what they needed to
accomplish in the offseason. All of the other teams were either equal to or below their skill level so far. It was
nice to be able to experience the strategy of close games and how to handle games that we were in full control
of. Understanding both sportsmanship and humility were major goals that were reached. The team enjoyed
huge support from both parents and relatives along with the school and other fans. The boys and myself would
like everyone to know that the support was greatly appreciated.” (Photo courtesy of Lifetouch)
The
Clarion-Goldfield-Dows
Cowboy Freshmen Basketball team
finished the season with a 10-3
overall record. Coach Logan Holmes
filed this report on all of the games
following Christmas break.
CGD 31, Iowa Falls-Alden 26
The Cowboys traveled to Iowa
Falls-Alden back on January 12th
and won a defensive battled, leading
8-7 after the first quarter, 14-10
at halftime, 21-15 after the third
quarter, winning by a final score
of 31-26. Rhett Darland scored 12
points, Will Weidemenn 10, Zach
Martin 4, Bryce Tegtmeyer 3, and
Alex Machuca 2. “Points were hard
to come by in this game for both
teams,” said Holmes, “It was nice
to see our defense step up to get the
win.”
CGD 48, Clear Lake 44
The very next night, the Cowboys
traveled to Clear Lake on January
13th to take on the Lions. Clear
Lake jumped out 12-6 lead
after the first quarter, and had
the Cowboys trailing 29-16 at
halftime. “We were a step slow
on defense and offensively
we couldn’t get much going,”
said Holmes, “In the second
half we came out and went on
a 12-0 run to get back in the
game.” The Cowboys cut the
deficit to 33-28 after the third
quarter and finished the rally in
the fourth quarter, winning 4844. Darland scored 22, Riley
State 7, Weidemann 6, Martin
5, Tegtmeyer 4, Max Powers 2,
and Machuca 2.
Algona 44, CGD 39
The Cowboys traveled to Algona
on January 19th to face off with the
Bulldogs. Algona jumped out to
an 18-15 lead and was up 31-16 at
halftime. In the third quarter, the
Cowboys were still trailing 36-18
before going on a 17-0 run to cut
the deficit to 36-35 late in the fourth
quarter. As the clock wound down,
Algona hit their free throws to win
44-39. “The team played with a ton
of heart in that second half. Nothing
was going our way and we found a
way to get back in the game with a
pretty exciting rally against a good
team,” said Holmes, “We just came
up a little short.” Darland scored 14,
State 8, Weidemann 6, Powers 5,
Tegtmeyer 4, and Machuca 2.
CGD 49, St. Edmond 26
The Cowboys returned home
on January 22nd to host the St.
Edmond Gaels. The Cowboys led
13-2 after the first quarter and 29-12
at halftime, on the way to a 49-26
victory. “We started playing better
team defense in this game with
more communication and help,”
said Holmes. Darland scored 21,
State 11, Machuca 6, Weidemann 6,
Tegtmeyer 3, and Powers 2.
Hampton-Dumont 34, CGD 33
The Cowboys hosted HamptonDumont on January 26th and were
handed a 34-33 loss. The Cowboys
trailed 6-2 after the first quarter, the
game was tied at 11-11 at halftime,
and the Cowboys led 23-22 after the
third quarter. “We had opportunities
in this game but turnovers really hurt
us,” said Holmes, “We were unable
to pull away when we had a 5 or 6
point lead and they just kept hanging
around and got us in the end. We
needed to find a way to score earlier
on in that game.” Weidemann scored
13, Darland 8, State 6, Tegtmeyer 4,
and Powers 2.
CGD 38, Iowa Falls-Alden 33
The Cowboys got back in the
winning column with a 38-33 win
over Iowa Falls-Alden in Clarion on
January 29th. The Cowboys trailed
8-7 after the first quarter, took a 2016 lead at halftime, and led 29-23
after the third quarter. Darland scored
14, Weidemann 9, State 8, Machuca
5, and Tegtmeyer 2. “Our defense
continued to show improvement in
this game,” said Holmes.
CGD 69, Humboldt 36
The Cowboys hosted the
Humboldt Wildcats on February
3rd. The Wildcats had handed the
Cowboys their first loss in a 50-
45 defeat before Christmas. This
night was much different, with
the Cowboys taking a 17-15 lead
after the first quarter, and led 3020 at halftime. The Cowboys blew
the game wide open in the second
half, winning 69-36. Rhett Darland
scored 39 points, including 10 threepointers, Tegtmeyer scored 12,
Weidemann 5, Machuca 5, State 4,
and Powers 2. “This was one of the
most fun games we had this year,”
said Holmes, “It was nice to beat a
team we had lost to, but we played
well as a team. Offensively we
moved the ball and got good looks
against their 1-2-2 zone. Defensively
we played some of the best team
defense we had played all year.”
CGD 55, Clear Lake 36
The Cowboys kept rolling in a 5536 win over Clear Lake on February
5th in Clarion. The Cowboys led
13-9 after the first quarter, 34-21
at halftime and 42-27 after the
third quarter. Bryce Tetmeyer
scored a game high 18 points,
Darland scored 14, State 9,
Weidemann 7, Machuca 4, and
Harrah 2. “This was one of our
more complete games of the
year,” said Holmes, “We jumped
out to a lead and kept coasting.”
CGD 61, Eagle Grove 20
The Cowboys traveled
to Eagle Grove on February
9th for the final game of the
season, taking a 61-20 win. The
Cowboys led 14-6 after the first
quarter and 29-17 at halftime.
“We really intensified our
defense in the second half,” said
Holmes, “Offensively we were able
to run the floor and got good looks
in the half-court when we moved
the ball against their 1-3-1 zone.”
Rhett Darland scored 26, including 6
three-pointers, Tegtmeyer scored 10,
State 10, Weidemann 9, and Powers
6.
Final Comments
“This was a very fun season,” said
Holmes, “These kids love the game
of basketball and they play well
together. I felt our defense was the
biggest improvement over the course
of the season and we played some of
our best basketball in the last four
games of the year. If we put in the
work in the offseason, I am excited
to see what they can contribute to the
JV and Varsity levels in the coming
years.”

County Economic Development and Iowa
Workforce work together on Laborshed Project
The Wright County Economic
Development will be working with
Iowa Workforce Development’s
Regional Research Bureau to
complete a Laborshed employment
study for the Wright County area.
This study will examine the labor
force from which Wright County area
employers draw their employees,
and is based upon commuting

patterns into the area. The study
will assist existing and potential
businesses to better understand the
size and characteristics of the area’s
labor force regardless of political
boundaries.
The Laborshed boundary is
based on the place of residence of
individuals commuting into the
Wright County area for employment.
For the success of this study, they
will be sending letters to employers
in Wright County asking that they
provide them with aggregate counts
of their employees’ residential ZIP
codes. This reporting will give
the groups an understanding of
where each community’s workforce
resides.
Once that Laborshed area
is determined, a confidential
household telephone survey will be
conducted in those identified areas.
The questions will cover topics such
as: employment status, current and
desired wages, current and desired
benefits, education level, and type
of occupation. Survey results will
be applied to demographic data to
determine the size of the Wright
County area labor force as well as
various labor force characteristics.
Iowa Workforce Development will
not be asking survey takers any
identifiable information such as:
name, social security number, or
date of birth.
The results for each county and
regional Laborshed analysis can be
found at www.iowaworkforce.org/

Medical Mission Team hand delivers 100 more
dolls, many other supplies on annual trip to Haiti
By: Jacob Snyder
[email protected]
Arriving in Haiti and realizing just
how much work needs to be done,
one could understand if a person felt
discouraged and overwhelmed by
the sights in this poor country.
Huts, some that don’t protect the
people from the elements very well
or at all. No running water. Many
don’t even own a bed. They just
sleep on the dirt floor.
As for bathrooms, while some families have them, a good majority of
the facilities are located outside the
homes.
Yet, the Medical Mission Team
rolled up their sleeves and got things
done during their trip. And little by
little, with each trip, they know their
presence there is making a difference.
And the 12 people who made up
the Team this year, most are parishioners of the Holy Family Cluster,
also realize that the experience impacts their own lives in a big way.
“It is a very humbling experience,”
said Monica Christensen. “The Haiti
people impact my life on a much
greater scale than I am able to impact theirs, but I am always grateful
for the opportunity to try.”
The eleven others who made the
trip were Dana Christensen, Cailey Nagel, Mickey Cooper, Perry
Brown, Father Jerry Blake, pastor
of the Holy Family Cluster; Betty
Staudt, Monica Staudt, Debbie
Sloth, Monica Siemens, Dr. Tim Nagel, and Dr. Jon Ahrendsen.
The Holy Family Cluster was
“twinned” with the Parish of Twinning of the Americas back in 2003,
according to Monica Staudt, another
member of the Team.
Cluster parishioners, among other
community members, began making
the annual trip to Haiti in 2005.
Preparations began each October or November with the booking
of the flight. Besides obtaining the
necessary shots like for typhoid fever, each traveler must also obtain a
passport.
The team also worked together to
gather and pack supplies they took
to Anse Rogue, where the Cluster’s
sister parish Our Lady of the Assumption is located, including 100
dolls, baby blankets, teacher bags,
t-shirts and shorts, caps, dresses, hygiene kits, and diapers.
“That is always such a joy to see
their faces and hear ‘merci,’” Staudt
said.
While in the past the medications
were shipped ahead of time, the
Cluster felt it would be better to begin keeping them along on the trip
and have been doing so for some
time now.
The Team landing in Porta Prince,
the capital of Haiti on February
10, didn’t mean their traveling was
done. They had to then make the 90mile journey to Anse Rouge.
This usually takes much longer
than it normally would because of
the very poor road conditions.
The Team didn’t waste any time as
they got right to work the next day.
Doctors and nurses like Staudt saw
C-G-D School’s spring
play will be ‘more fun
than a magic carpet ride’
Romance, mystery, an escape
into another world.
The
Clarion-Goldfield-Dows
Drama Department will present the
play “Aladdin” in just a few weeks.
Performances are on March 27 and
March 28. Both nights they will start
at 7 p.m.
Tamara EnTin said the play is
progressing along well. The cast has
moved on stage and the set is built.
The costume making process is
underway and the lights and sound
are up and running.
“The snake is slithering, El
Kahsid has mastered his life evil
laugh, and the desert winds are
calling us to far away places,” said
Tamara EnTin, director of the play
and the C-G-D drama and speech
coach.
The play is an adaption by Craig
Sodaro and produced by the Eldridge
Publishing Company.
Come see the story brought to life
and meet many different characters
like Yahoo and his pet snake and the
beautiful Princess Celestia.
“You will love all the colorful
characters,” EnTin said.
All are encouraged to go and see
the play. Admission is payable at the
door. There is no charge for toddlers
and infants.
Raising Awareness about
Dyslexia with a Movie
Twelve people made up the Medical Mission Team who traveled to Haiti in mid-February. (Back row, l to r)
Dana Christensen; Cailey Nagel; Mickey Cooper; Perry Brown; Father Jerry Blake, pastor of the Holy Family Cluster; (Middle row, l to r) Rony Jean, the group’s translator for the trip; Betty Staudt; Monica Staudt;

patients and provided them with basic medical care.
Others like Cooper, a pharmacist,
counted pills and prepared medicine
for them.
Fr. Blake helped children try on
eyeglasses and pick out a pair that
works best for them. He, of course,
also celebrated the Masses through-
“The dental care was nice this
year,” Staudt said. “We were able
to take him and he was pulled like
a hundred teeth. We also bring along
toothbrushes and toothpaste to give
them.”
When they weren’t working, the
group just spent time getting to
know and reacquainting themselves
with the locals and playing with the
children.
Most of the time these were simple
activities like taking a walk along
the beach or blowing bubbles.
Several members of the team who
have been part of numerous Teams
over the years observed there are
subtle changes being made in Anse
Rouge and the surrounding area with
each trip.
“This was my fourth trip to Haiti
and each year there are small improvements noted in Anse Rouge,”
said Nagel. “The church provides
a great service to people with great
needs.”
Nagel added that the challenge
moving forward will be to figure
out ways to help the people become
more self-sufficient. Fr. Blake made
a similar comment.
Such a journey left a significant
mark on the participants’ lives.
There is no doubt about that.
A few Team members explained
that while it was a medical mission
trip, the time there also felt like a
spiritual retreat.
For Sloth, it was her first time traveling to Haiti. Though she was saddened by the poverty, she was happy
to lend a hand in helping making
these people’s lives a little better.
“The working together as a team,
using our God-given talents to help
those less fortunate than ourselves
was my greatest feeling on this trip,”
she said.
Mickey Cooper said it was amazing to see how people came from
miles around to see the Team and
felt wonderful to know the locals
had such confidence in them.
Fr. Blake was impressed by how no
matter where they were, he felt God
was very near.
“It seemed you only needed to express yourself and He was near at
hand,” he said of the experience.
The Medical Mission Team, who
returned on February 17, felt blessed
to have the opportunity to go and is
looking forward to making the trip
again next year.
While some people use cars to get
around Anse Rouge and the surrounding area, many use other
modes of transportation. Father
Jerry Blake and a local are seen
on a popular one, a donkey.

through difficulty in reading, writing,

however, Journey into Dyslexia
reveals that many adult professionals
who once struggled to learn in school
consider their dyslexia a unique gift
and the defining reason behind their
success.
This event is free and sponsored
by DD-IA and by Iowa Child
Advocacy Board/Wright County
CASA Program.
Iowa Child Advocacy Board
provides oversight and training
for the Court Appointed Special
Advocate (CASA) Program. Crystal
Engstrom, the Wright County
Program Coordinator, stated that
she is excited to be able to cosponsor this event. The Iowa Child
Advocacy Board is a non-profit
state agency that utilizes community
volunteers to advocate for children
who have been deemed Children in
Need of Assistance by the Juvenile
Court. (www.casaiowa.org). “It is
heartbreaking to watching children
struggle in school because of
dyslexia; it is often misunderstood
and misidentified. Educating and
training is key to be able to advocate
for the best interest of children, that
is CASA’s passion and priority.
Journey into Dyslexia movie night
will be a great way to learn, discuss,
and begin to understand dyslexia.”

p.m., a free screening of the

Belmond.
A local parent from Decoding
Dyslexia Iowa has partnered with
the Iowa Child Advocacy Board to
raise awareness about dyslexia. “We
will have an open discussion after
the movie. If you haven’t seen it,
it’s a very powerful film that features
some of our country’s top dyslexia
experts, as well as kids and adults
with dyslexia,” Katie Greving said.
Greving is one of the Founders of
Decoding Dyslexia Iowa.
Decoding Dyslexia Iowa began in
the summer of 2013 as small group of
concerned parents and educators in
central Iowa. They had no idea that
in less than a year their efforts would
produce a new law and hundreds of
members across the state! The goal
of this group is to raise dyslexia
awareness, empower families to
support their children and inform
policymakers on best practices to
identify, remediate and support
students with dyslexia in Iowa
public schools. More information
about the group can be found at

ALERT - Potential Scam Targeting Iowa Taxpayers
The Iowa Department of Revenue
has been made aware of a potential
scam targeting Iowa taxpayers. The
scam begins through an automated
phone call that displays on caller ID
as being from 515-281-3114. That
phone number is the Department’s
general Taxpayer Services number;
however, no automated phone calls
can originate from that number.
When answering the call, the
taxpayer is informed they are
eligible for a refund from the
Iowa Department of Revenue. The
taxpayer is then asked whether the
refund should be deposited into the
account the Department has on file
or if they’d like to donate the refund
to an animal charity.
The Iowa Department of Revenue
does not make these types of calls.
They believe this is an attempt to
steal bank account or other personal
information.
By
fraudulently
displaying the Department’s phone
number on caller ID, the scammer is
attempting to convince the taxpayer
of the legitimacy of the call.
If you receive such a call, do not
provide any information to the caller.
You may report the incident to the
Iowa Department of Revenue or the
Iowa Attorney General’s Consumer
Protection Division.

From the Korner
By Marillyn Korth
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. I remembered to set my clocks
up and made it to church on time.
Late Friday afternoon, Haylee, her
friend Nikki and Nikki’s 18-month
old son, Raylon came to spend the
night. We had a good visit. Raylon is
a doll, and all boy, but a good sleeper. Never heard a peep out of him all
night.
After church, I came home to a
clean house and Jade and the boys
here to visit Raylon. They had good
fun together.
Delores B., and I went to see
“Goodbye, Charlie”, the play in
Rowan. It was delightful with some
excellent actors. You have another
weekend to go see it. You won’t be
disappointed.
Thursday, our ladies group went to
Iowa Falls to help Delores Worden
celebrate her birthday Then in the
evening, Norma and I went back to
Iowa Falls to have dinner with our
grief group. We have been meeting
every other month for six years. A
group brought together by a loss in
our families and we became friends.
We meet now to laugh and share our
lives with each other.
Our Dows community once again
united in saying goodbye to two
men who passed away last weekend. A young man, Matt Walbaum,
who was taken by that rotten cancer.
I didn’t know Matt, but heard wonderful things about him. I send my
condolences to Sharon and Eldon.
Then a well-loved former businessman in Dows, Bud Glade, went to
his eternal home. Bud was the owner
of the grocery store and was always
pleasant and smiling. Wanda and
Bud have been in Dows for a long
time. Their children are always eager to come back to town for Corn
Days and they like to take part in
the activities here. Bud, Wanda and
family have always been true Dows’
representatives. Bud will be missed.
Sincere sympathies to Wanda and
family.
Norma and I went to see Betty W.
in Hampton Saturday. She looked
good and we had a great old gabfest.
We also visited with Marcine C. She
was her usual lovely self. We missed
a couple, but we will be back.
You can see, I’m getting out a little
more. This weather makes me very
happy.
I’m sending get well wishes to Brittany, who broke her foot last week
and has had surgery on it. Also,
Bev Coombs (Harold), who fell and
broke her hip. Hang in there, girlsSpring is coming and so you need
to heal and get out in this wonderful
weather.
Sometime when you are with someone who is obnoxious about their
family history, here is a comeback.
A high society grand dame said,
“My ancestry goes back all the way
to Alexander the Great.” She then
turned to a demure little old lady and
asked, “How far back does your family go?” The little old lady replied, “I
don’t know. All of our records were
destroyed in the flood.”
Till next time. MK
P.S. Do you want to know what
love is?
It is a 23-year-old granddaughter
who clips your toenails and massages your feet. I am loved.

es per year. Bearing trees should
produce eight to 15 inches of new
growth. (The actual amount of new
growth will vary due to differences
in varietal vigor.) Fertilization may
be beneficial if the amount of growth
is less than normal.
When fertilizing fruit trees, select a
balanced fertilizer, such as 10-10-10.
Apply the fertilizer in early spring
before bud break. The recommended
rate is one-tenth pound of actual nitrogen per year of tree age. (Tree age
is the number of years since the tree
was planted in the home garden.)
For example, a five-year-old tree
should receive five-tenths or a half
pound of nitrogen. Uniformly broadcast five pounds of the 10-10-10
fertilizer (10 percent of five is a half
pound of N) in a circular band beginning about two to three feet from
the trunk and extending out slightly
beyond the dripline of the tree. One
pound of actual nitrogen is the maximum for fruit trees 10 years of age
and older.
If the lawn in the vicinity of the
fruit trees is fertilized on a regular
basis, there should be no need to fer-
tilize the trees. The fruit tree roots
will absorb nutrients from the lawn
fertilizer. Additional fertilizer may
be excessive.
Avoid fertilizing in late spring or
summer as this may stimulate late
summer growth that is more susceptible to winter injury. Too much fertilizer produces excessive vegetative
growth and inhibits fruiting.

set for Rowan
Saturday, March 21, will be a day

and Outreach share cultural practices that improve a tree’s ability to
begin and continue to bear fruit. To
have additional questions answered,
contact the ISU Hortline at 515-2943108 or [email protected].
When should I
prune my fruit trees?
Late February to early April is the
best time to prune fruit trees in Iowa.
Pruning should be completed before
the fruit trees begin to break bud
(leaf out) in early spring.
Summer pruning of fruit trees is
generally not recommended. However, water sprouts (rapidly growing
shoots that often develop just below
a pruning cut) can be removed in
June or July.
When should I spray my fruit
trees with a dormant oil spray?
Dormant oil sprays are highly refined petroleum products that are
mixed with water and applied to
trees and shrubs to control aphids,
spider mites and scale. Dormant oils
destroy pests by suffocating them.
When applied properly, the thin film
of oil plugs the spiracles or pores
through which the mite or insect
breathes.
Proper timing is critical when using dormant oil sprays. In Iowa, dormant oils should be applied in late
March or early April before the trees
show signs of breaking dormancy
(before bud break). Dormant oils applied in early March are not effective
as the pests are not actively respiring
at this time and, therefore, are not
vulnerable to the oil’s suffocating
effects. Dormant oil sprays should
be applied as close to bud break as
possible.
Should I fertilize my fruit trees?
It is generally not necessary to fertilize fruit trees in Iowa. Most soils
in Iowa are quite fertile and can supply adequate amounts of plant nutrients to the trees.
Check tree growth to determine
whether the fruit trees need fertilization. Nonbearing fruit trees should
grow approximately 15 to 30 inch-

Turn Up The Heat For Reading Week
By: Jacob Snyder
[email protected]
One hundred and seventeen
thousand. That’s a big number.
Originally the goal for the ClarionGoldfield-Dows
Elementary
students was to read 50,000 minutes
for Turn Up the Heat for Reading
Week, which was March 2-6.
But they exceeded that goal by
Wednesday. A new one of 95,000
minutes was then set.
By Friday afternoon, the students
had easily surpassed that number,
too. Altogether, they racked up
117,524 minutes.
“I am so proud of my C-G-D
students,” said Kaira Downing, the
elementary art teacher. “They more
than doubled our original goal.”
Throughout the week, students
participated in a variety of activities.
On Monday, some came to school
wearing mismatched shoes and
clothes while others wore eye
patches and bathrobes.
And they didn’t do it because they
couldn’t find anything to wear or got
dressed in the dark. No. The kids did
it as a way to kick the Week off and
celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday.
Another fun activity was on
Thursday, the upper elementary
classes came to read to the younger
grades for Buddy Reading Day.

At the end of the week, as a
reward for all their hard work,
an assembly was held in the
multi-purpose room where the
top reader in each class got
to throw a pie in the face of a
C-G-D faculty member.
Take a guess who might have
received the most pies. If your
answer was Mrs. Rosendahl,
you are correct. But she was
prepared for it as she even wore
googles to protect herself.
The fifth graders were the
top readers for the week with
25,601 minutes. Close behind
them with 23,373 minutes was
the fourth graders.
The teachers expressed how
proud they were of the students
for reading the amount of
minutes they did in one week.
“It was awesome to see
families working together at
home to help their children
be successful,” said Lindsey As a reward for all their hard work an
