Lou Voss has officially been
an Eagle Grove Eagle fan since
she started teaching for the school
district in 1978. Today, even though
she is enjoying her first year of
retirement, she continues to be an
Eagle Grove Eagle fan and is excited
to serve as this year’s Homecoming
Grand Marshal.
“I’m honored that (the
students) would pick
me. It makes me feel
special ant that my
time in Eagle Grove
impacted someone,”
Voss said.
During
her
years in the district,
Voss has taught
shor thand,
business
procedures,
calculation,
accounting,
m a r k e t i n g,
multimedia,
v i d e o
product ion,
and graphic
design
to
name a few.
But, Voss got to know many of the
students outside of the classroom as
well, serving at one time or another
as a cheerleading sponsor, pep
club leader, student senate advisor,
and yearbook advisor for 25 years.
Perhaps her most well-known
role with the students, however,
was as their FBLA advisor. Now
she’s adding Homecoming Grand
Marshal to that list.
Voss said there are many
reasons why she’s happy to accept
this role the students have asked her
to accept, but the most important
one is the ability to stay involved
with the students. It’s also an
opportunity for her to spread the
message that “It’s always a great
time to be an Eagle.”
win, lose, or draw, Voss wants to
remind the students of Eagle Grove
that it’s the effort and the learning
that comes from the experience that
counts, not the final results. While
winning (in anything in life) is fun,
it’s not the only way to measure
success.
It’s true, Voss said some of the
best parts of being an Eagle for her
have been watching the students take
a state title in wrestling, cheering
on the Eagles in state baseball,
taking that first trip to the state
basketball
tournament,
watching the first team
ever from EGHS go
to the state football
playoffs, and hearing
‘Eagle Grove, Iowa’
called out on a National
FBLA stage, but it’s
not about the trophy
they did or didn’t bring
home, it’s about
the memories
that
were
made,
the
fr iendships
that
were
f o r m e d ,
and
they
confidence
that was built
from working
together for a
common goal.
“Anytime an Eagle has ‘success’
in athletics, fine arts, academics...or
whatever they chose to participate
in, is a great time to be an Eagle,”
Voss said.
No matter what the score board
or the judges paper says, Voss’s
advice is this; “Never give up.
Every challenge you face in life is
always going to make the success
so much greater. Participating is
so much more than winning. What
you gain from being part of a team
or group is huge.”
Voss is looking forward to the
opportunity to address the student
body personally on Friday, Sept. 27
during Homecoming coronation.
The event begins at 1 p.m. and will
be held in the Robert Blue Middle
School auditorium. The public is
invited to attend.

Fran Pettigrew, on behalf of the Eagle
Grove Area Ministerial Association, came
before the council to request use of the
armory on Nov. 25 and 26. The EGAMA
plans on holding a food-packing program on
that night, from 11 am to 5 pm.
“We plan on capping the evening off with
a communitywide ecumenical Thanksgiving
service,” Pettigrew said. “We have on every
year. This would be on Tuesday before the
Thanksgiving Thursday.”
The council agreed to let EGAMA use
the armory on those days free of charge. The
mayor also said that, if no one has rented
Memorial Hall that day, the city would help
provide tables and chairs.
Councilman Kendall Johnson spoke on
behalf of the Hotel/Motel Tax Committee.
The committee is interested in using the
Hotel/Motel Tax money to buy a digital
sign.
“We’re looking at a double-sided digital
sign uptown to announce community events
and school events,” said Johnson. “We’d
possibly sell advertising on it to cover the
maintenance fund and the extra costs. We’re
still looking into pricing. ”
Johnson said that a 4’x6’ sign would cost
roughly $20,000. The city has received a
$3,200 grant for the project. The committee
also has $9774.27 in the Hotel/Motel Tax
fund.
“We’re thinking maybe we can presell advertising on it to raise the rest of the
money,” said Johnson. “It shouldn’t cost
anything to the city.”
They are considering putting the sign on
Hwy. 17, next to Lawson’s Auto Body. The
chamber is currently talking with the DOT,
trying to determine how close it can be put
to the highway.
“We can do anything we want with it.
We can plug a laptop into it and it will do
any design we want,” Johnson said. “It even
adjusts the brightness depending on whether
it’s day or night.”
“It looks like a good deal to me,” said
Mayor Darrell Determann.

A glance at the new Eagle Grove Eagle website. Now even easier
to navigate with even more great information.
Eagle Grove Eagle
launches new website,
improved e-edition
BY KIM DEMORY
egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net
After much research and
preparation, the Eagle Grove Eagle
launched its state-of-the-art website
and e-edition subscription this
month at www.theeaglegroveeagle.
com.
The site is computer, iPad,
and smartphone friendly, and will
be updated often with local news,
sports, death notices, weather, and
other information. It also serves as
a jumping off point for the Eagle’s
Facebook and Twitter accounts, as
well as an easy way for the public to
submit news like wedding and birth
announcements.
In the future, users will be able
to buy photos they see in the paper
through the website via a photo
service called Smugmug. Photos
will be available in almost any size
and will arrive in the mail about a
week after an order is placed.
“I was very excited to help
bring the Eagle’s online presence
up-to-date,” said Mid-America
Publishing web administrator Molly
Angstman. “Its readers deserve a
modern, easy-to-navigate site with
current content.”
According to Angstman, the
best part of the new site is the
e-edition, an online replica of the
printed newspaper.
“Users access the e-edition
through a username and password,
but otherwise it’s a lot like the
normal paper. Instead of turning
pages with your hands, you just click
with your mouse instead,” she says.
“Or, if you’re on an iPad, you just
tap the screen to keep reading.”
E-editions are handy for people
who travel often or out-of-towners
who don’t want to wait to receive
the paper in the mail. Others just
like the tech-savvy way of reading
the news, says Angstman.
“If there’s a link mentioned in a
story or an ad within the e-edition,
you can actually click on it and
your browser will take you right to
that link. That’s a cool interactive
feature you can’t get with a printed
paper, “ she said.
Access to the e-edition is free
for Eagle print subscribers. Those
interested can contact Deb Chaney,
the Eagle Grove Eagle’s circulation
manager, at 1-800-558-1244 ext. 122
or mapcirculation@iowaconnect.
com to request a username and
password. New subscribers can
subscribe to the e-edition through the
new website by clicking “subscribe”
at the top of the homepage.

The council then began a closed
session to discuss what the city is
going to do with the armory.
“It will not be a very long
session. Everyone will state their
opinion on what we should do with
it, then we’ll look at the cost, and
that will be it,” said Determann.
“I did have some calls from
people asking if they have any
say (on the future of the armory).
That’s what’s open forum’s for.
We welcome that. If anybody has
anything to say, that’s their time to
talk about it,” Determann said. “If
there are enough people that want
to talk about it, we’ll set a time in
the agenda to deal with that. “
-The council approved moving
Beggar’s Night from Oct. 31 to
Nov. 1, from 5-7 pm, so as not to
conflict with local parent-teacher
conferences.
-The council discussed working
with the Community Development
Committee to remove a dilapidated
building at 711 S. Commercial
Avenue. “I know they would prefer
us to go in and do the whole thing,
then they would give us 75 percent
of the profit for the whole project,”
Boyd said. The city has not burned
any buildings down yet this year.
-Chief of Police Rey Beltran
said that an FBI agent out of Des
Moines will be holding a seminar
on robberies for area banks in the
near future.
-Beltran also said that the
police department’s new vehicle
should be arriving later this week
or early next.
-City Administrator Mike
Boyd said that the city has received
another $50,000 from the Larson
Estate to go towards the museum,
along with $50,000 for the EG
ambulance service.
-Boyd said that the lift station
project is still moving forward. The
city has received a permit from the
DNR, and Boyd is working with
the city attorney and the project
engineer on the wording on the final
easement agreements.
-There is also work going on
at the city waste treatment plant.
“There are three or four things were
working on right now, and we’re
spending some serious money out
there,” Boyd said. “We’re trying to
replace some of that old equipment
that’s been serving us well these last
35, 40 years … we’ve spent $70,000
there these last few weeks”
-Boyd said that the water
treatment plant is working on
the connection on South Avenue.
“There’s always been a problem
on South Avenue, with water really
not getting cleaned out,” Boyd said.
“There’s like a stub end there. You’d
have to wait every couple of weeks
to run the fire hydrants. They’d
oftentimes have brown water. Even
though it was okay to drink, there
was still a lot of sediment in it.”

A mighty fine line?
Block Rock Island Clean Line Alliance holds meeting
BY CLAE GOATER
[email protected]
The Block RICL Alliance,
a group opposed to the Rock
Island Clean Line project, held an
informational meeting in Goldfield
on Thursday Sept. 19.
The Rock Island Clean Line
project is a plan to set up DC cables
across Iowa and Illinois, to pipe
electricity from Iowa’s wind farms
out east. The current proposal calls
for 375 miles of cable to be strung
across the state. To move forward
with the project, Rock Island Clean
Line either has to negotiate easements
with property owners or gain control
of their land through eminent
domain. Clean Line estimates that
the average easement size for an
individual property owner is about a
half-mile.
Reasons for opposing the
project vary. Farmers say that Clean
Line will reduce the productivity of
their land and interfere with certain
agricultural practices like spraying
or crop-dusting.
Others are concerned about how
DC lines might affect the health of
humans and animals.
“We don’t see that there’s been
adequate research to show that a
DC line is safe. I think there are
unintended consequences that haven’t
been researched and evaluated,” said
Alliance spokesperson Caroline
Sheridan. “If Rock Island Clean
Line can only give us six (scholarly
articles on the subject) because
information is hard to find, we need
more information. They are having
trouble finding out if it does impact
livestock and how it impacts human
health. They don’t even have that
information. “
The open-endedness of the
easement agreements also is a
sticking point for many landowners.
Several people attending the RICL
meeting expressed concern that
they might sign away their mineral
or water rights. Clean Line has also
reserved the right to sell off any
easements it acquires during the
project. This, combined with the
fact that Rock Island Clean Line’s
parent company, Clean Line Energy
Partners, LLC, is a private company,
makes some landowners skeptical.
As a private company, Clean Line
doesn’t have to make its business
model public. So far, Rock Island has
not agreed to make their business
model public.
“Let’s say that it’s not a strong
business model. Let’s say that
all they are doing is that they are
coming in and it’s a commodity.
And the commodity is the easements
they have bought across the state of
Iowa. They now can sell them and
do whatever they want with them.,”
Sheridan said. “Maybe we’ll put a
pipeline there, or something else.
Because they’re not interested in
what’s actually going on in the state
of Iowa, they are interested in the
commodity. They tell you right up
front in those information meetings
that they can sell those easements. “
Sheridan also argues that the
states out east don’t even want wind
energy from Iowa. In July of 2010,
ten east coast governors signed a
letter that advocated for developing
their own sources renewable energy.
Rock Island argues that the letter
advocates for renewable energy in
general, and says nothing specific
about Rock Island. Block RICL
Alliance members see the letter as a
rejection of the Rock Island project.
“If you talk to the eastern
states, they say they have plenty of
wind energy out there,” Sheridan
said. “There’s really adequate
wind energy, and that the different
transmission grids are using their
own systems to meet their needs.”
The Block RICL Alliance
stressed the importance of filing
objections against Clean Line.
“We think it’s important that
people know how important the
objection process is. The Iowa
Utilities Board will review the
objections, and after all the ten
informational meetings are done
in the remaining counties, then
Rock Island will file a petition for
a franchise. The IUB will review
that, and then they are able to
grant the franchise unless there
are objections,” Sheridan said. “If
there are objections, there will be a
public hearing in the center of the
route, which they think will be in
Grundy Center. We feel that will be
happening sometime in the spring,
but they have two years to get that
franchise. “
“What we’ve been hearing is
that they expect to get 98 percent
volunteer easements. If they get a lot
of voluntary easements, there will
be no need for a public hearing. So
it’s up to us to get enough objections.
It’s up to us to get a public hearing,”
Sheridan said.
Block RICL also advocates
that people who oppose Clean Line
should contact their representatives
about the issue, and talk to any
agricultural associations they might
belong to.
“If they belong to any of the
associations, like Iowa Cattleman’s,
they should contact them. They
should contact their legislators and
the governor,” Sheridan said.
Sheridan said that people who
have been filing objections have been
receiving letters from Clean Line.
The letters say that the objectors
need to notify their neighbors on the
Clean Line route that they have filed
an objection.
“You do not have to do any
of that,” Sheridan said. “It is
intimidation. It makes you feel like
you’ve done something wrong, when
you haven’t … It sounds kind of
scary.”
If Clean Line doesn’t receive
many volunteer easements, Sheridan
said that it will be quite a while before
they are able to gain easements
through eminent domain.
“There’s a long, long, long
time before you ever have to sign
an easement because of the rules
of eminent domain. You know who
determines the eminent domain
price? It’s not Rock Island. It’s
a board in your county made up
of five people … It’s a long time
before anyone’s going to take your
property,“ Sheridan said.
Sheridan also argued that
holding out for eminent domain
will probably get landowners a
higher price for their easements.
Also, voluntary easement payments
will be issued in a lump sum, while
eminent domain payments don’t
necessarily work that way. The
difference in payments could affect
your tax status.
“If somebody handed you an
$82,000 check, you might go into a
different tax bracket and you might
get taxed differently,” Sheridan said.
“We’re encouraging people to check
with their accountant to check with
what those would be. “
The Block RICL Alliance was
formed on July 25 of this year, and
so far they have accumulated close to
100 members. Currently, the Alliance
is requesting $300 donations from
tenants and landowners who want to
become a member of the group. That
money is going to finance their legal
fees.
“People can donate less if they
like,” Sheridan said. “It will take
$100- $200,000 to do this by the
time we have expert witnesses and
lawyer fees. “

Looking back…and looking forward
Winning the battle against dyslexia
Part 1 of 3
Editors Note: This story was
first published in the Eagle Grove
Eagle in August of 2010. It is being
rerun as a precursor to a story that
will run in the Oct. 10, 2013 edition
of the Eagle about Willard’s latest
accomplishment…having a book
published about his life with dyslexia.
Willard will hold a book signing at
the Eagle Grove Memorial Library
on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013.
Archie Willard, lifelong resident
of Eagle Grove, has been chosen to
receive a 2010 National Coalition
for Literacy Leadership Award in
Washington, DC on Wednesday,
September 15, 2010. It is a welldeserved honor that stems from
Archie’s own battle with reading
and eventually being diagnosed with
dyslexia.
Archie describes his early
childhood years as “comfortable
and happy.” He had older sisters
who enjoyed teaching him things,
including how to count to 100,
the alphabet, and nursery rhymes.
Kindergarten was a success as he
began making new friends and
attending school each day. By the
time first-grade reading assessments
came around, Archie knew what
was expected of him and therefore
placed in the top reading level.
Unfortunately, as the weeks passed,
Archie fell further and further behind
the other students in his reading
readiness. He was moved down a
level, then another, until eventually
he was at the bottom of the class.
The next couple of years,
teachers along the way tried to work
with Archie, unaware of the true
underlying problem…dyslexia.
Archie made his way through
the fourth grade by learning to listen
carefully, observing his classmates’
lessons and then repeating the
curriculum from memory.
His
teacher, however, still required
Archie to stay after school so she
could provide extra instruction on
his reading. Archie felt it was unfair,
not realizing until much later in life
that the teacher was actually doing
him a favor.
When Archie started fifth grade,
things got worse. He was confused
and asked a lot of questions. The
teacher thought he was being difficult
and disruptive. As a result, she
moved him to the back of the class.
Archie stopped asking questions.

ignored me,” Archie stated. “I knew
I had a problem…but I decided I
would rather my peers think I’m lazy
than stupid.”
To his dismay, that teacher was
moved with Archie’s class all the
way through the eighth grade.
School was hard, but fortunately
for Archie, home life was not. He
had the support of his parents.
“They just always told me, do
the best you can,” Archie recalled.
With the start of high school
came the opportunity to sort of reinvent himself. Joining with new
classmates from other schools and
a wide variety of course selections
provided Archie with new ways of
learning. He also discovered that
he was quite the athlete, which of
course, brought a newfound social
acceptance. Archie “skated through
high school.” He even had a college
offer to play football. Realistic
about his chances of succeeding
academically at a four-year college,
Archie chose to play football and
baseball at a junior college. He did
not graduate, but did learn a lot about
himself and the world around him.
When Archie’s father passed
away, he decided it was time to return
home and get a job. He worked at a
meat-packing plant, a “good job at
the time.” He still couldn’t read or
write very well, but life experiences
had taught him a few tricks of the
trade and how to get by. Even his
coworkers didn’t know he couldn’t
read.
He learned that being a good
listener with a good memory could
serve him well. Television and radio
told him everything he needed to
know about current events and the
world around him. It helped him
learn to read and write just enough to
absolutely get by in life; like writing
a check. Another thing he learned…
manual work didn’t require things
like reading and writing. He applied
himself to do the best job he could as
quickly as possible.
When Archie was asked to read
anything, he had an excuse ready, “I
forgot my glasses.”
“I felt successful enough that I
nearly forgot I was a poor reader,”
admitted Archie.
Despite his “success,” Archie
still felt frustrated on the inside
about his inability to read well.
After 31 years at the meat
packing plant, the facility closed,
leaving fifty-year-old Archie without
a job. He had a wife and daughter
to support. Thanks to a personal
connection, Archie was given
the opportunity to spend the next
14 years working as a crop hail
insurance adjuster. The position
was good to him, but Archie found
it challenging as it required lots
and lots of paperwork. He worked
very hard on memorizing words he
needed to write on the forms, oftentimes even taking those forms home
at night to rewrite. During the “off”
season, Archie drove a school bus.
A few years later, his wife,
Wanda, read a newspaper article
that would change her husband’s life
forever. The story featured Bruce
Jenner, an Olympic gold medalist
who struggled with reading due
to a learning disability known as
“dyslexia.”
Finally, Archie had
found the word he had been looking
for to describe his learning disability.
His mind immediately went back to
his school days and the “shame and
humiliation” that went with him.
Was Archie dyslexic? He wanted to
be tested, yet feared the results would
only prove his worst nightmare… “of
being stupid.”
Archie did nothing to pursue his
quest to find out if he was dyslexic…
until his wife found a book by
the name of Reversals by Eileen
Simpson, a psychologist and author
who herself was dyslexic.
“Her life story was so similar to
my experience that I felt compelled
to find answers,” he said.
Dyslexia had been Archie’s
secret, and up until this point in his
life, shared with only a few, like
his wife. Archie admits, however,
that even Wanda didn’t know the
severity of his reading disability. He
decided to put his fears aside and be
tested. He went to the Department
of Neurology at the University of
Iowa, where tests concluded that not
only did Archie in fact have dyslexia,
he also possesses “above-average”
intelligence.
Looking back, it all finally
made sense. His struggles in school
were not because he was lazy. He
wasn’t stupid. He just saw the letters
and words differently than all his
peers. Now, finally, Archie was
ready to move forward and not only
improve his reading capabilities,
but eventually help others like
him by becoming an adult reading
advocate.
Be sure to read next week’s
Eagle for the second part of this
story! Find out how Archie Willard
went from someone who sat in the
back of the class, staring out the
window, to someone who is helping
others find a way to deal with
reading disabilities.

business
By claE GoaTEr
[email protected]
During a short meeting on
Monday, Sept. 23, the County Board
of Supervisors handled some regular
business.
The board approved the
appointment of Dianna Suntken to the
Belmond Library Board of Trustees.
The board approved a tax
suspension because of low income, in
the amount of $1,028.
Supervisor Stan Watne talked
with County Engineer Adam Clemons
about a property owner who recently
did some work in the county rightof-way. “If people want to work in
the right-of-way, they simply need to
contact (Clemons’) office, and he’ll
review it and either issue (a permit) or
not,” Watne said.
The board reviewed a letter
from the Iowa Drainage District
Association, asking for a donation to
their mutual protection fund. “It’s a
voluntary contribution, and they only
call for it when needed,” Watne said. “I
guess I would like you to think about
this. They are asking for $2,970, and
that is paid out of our drainage fund.”
The board did not vote on the issue,
because Supervisor Rick Rasmussen
was absent.

Beta Sigma Phi members meeting news
Beta Sigma Phi members met at the Family Table Monday, Sept. 16,
to hear progress being made at the Carnegie Library/Museum, which
was originally built in 1903. Ron Mohr presented historical documented
information, and some of the members, Jo Elberg, Jana Amdahl, Betty
Wilde, and others, contributed additional memories. In 1881, Eagle Grove
was platted by Cadwell. The first mayor was E. M. Scott. Robert Blue
brought fame to our town when he served as Iowa’s governor during 19451949. Eight of our World War I veterans lost their lives while serving their
country, sixteen of our World War II men died during service, and one died
during his Vietnam service.
Eagle Grove has always been recognized by state wrestling enthusiasts
because we honor four three-time state wrestling champs: David Morgan,
Ron Gray, EddyNelson, and Mark Kist. The former elementary school’s
name Lela Howland was based on a real womaqn who lived on South
Commercial and taught at the school. We made state news in 1973 when
the Chatterbox Cafe (where Ben Franklin’s store is located now) exploded
due to a gas leakage in the kitchen. Twelve people within the cafe and one
firefighter lost their lives that cold January night.
After the program, dessert and drinks were served while everyone
enjoyed the opportunity to visit with others. Beta Sigma Phi was established
in 1953 with eleven charter members. It remains active with three degrees of
membership. Anyone who is interested in joining should contact Pat Manues,
Joyce Wearmouth, or Mary Anne Lilly who are current presidents, or other
members. Many altruistic projects with town activities, plus a scholarship
for Iowa Central Community College are provided each year.
Center of Iowa Central Community College located at 1106 South 32nd
Street, Fort Dodge, on Saturday, September 28, from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
This is a State approved program.
If you are 14 or will be turning 14 within five months, it is required that
you take this course. Class size is limited to 30. Pre-registration and prepayment is required.
For additional information, contact the Transportation Technology Center
at 800-362-2793, ext. 1971, or 515-574-1971.
Let us help you thank the
people who have done
something special in your life.
Governor Terry Branstad and Lt.
Governor Kim Reynolds are calling
on fellow Iowans to join in a onekilometer Healthiest State Walk on
Wednesday, October 9, as one part
of the effort to become the healthiest
state in the nation.
“Iowans have turned out in
extraordinary numbers for the
first two Healthiest State Walks,”
Branstad said. “The 2013 walk
will be a great way to continue the
momentum of our rise from 19th to
16th and now to the ninth healthiest
state in the Gallup-Healthways WellBeing Index. We’re encouraging all
Iowans to re-charge and become reenthused by joining in this symbolic
event in 2013.”
Nearly 600,000 Iowans have
participated in the Healthiest State
Initiative’s walks in 2011 and
2012. This year, many organized
Healthiest State walks will be held
at noon on October 9, but walks are
encouraged throughout the day. A
kilometer is about 7.5 city blocks,
a 12-minute stroll for the average
walker. Walkers can sign up for the
event at www.iowahealthieststate.
com.
Though the rise from 19th to ninth
among all states is a commendable
feat, Branstad and Reynolds noted
there’s still more work to be done.
“Iowans do well on some aspects
of well-being and not as well on
others,” Branstad said. “Working
with a team of experts, the Healthiest
State Initiative has identified five
priority areas most likely to improve
our state’s ranking.”
The Focus Five priorities include:
• Decrease the number of Iowans
who smoke,
• Increase consumption of fruits
and vegetables to five or more
servings daily at least four days a
week,
• Increase the number of Iowans
who are learning or doing something
interesting every day,
• Increase the number of Iowans
who have visited the dentist in the
last 12 months, and
• Increase the number of working
Iowans who feel their boss treats
them like a partner at work.
“The Healthiest State Walk is
intended to encourage Iowans
to take their own steps that will
help us improve our state’s wellbeing rank,” Branstad said. ”The
Healthiest State Initiative this year
will continue to champion existing
well-being programs, but will place
special emphasis on the Focus Five
priorities. Progress in these areas
will translate to a healthier Iowa
and better quality of life for all its
residents.”
Sponsors to Support Walk, Focus
Five Priorities
To help support the 2013 Healthiest
State Walk and Focus Five priorities,
the walk will have sponsors for the
first time. Delta Dental of Iowa
will serve as presenting sponsor,
while Mercy Health Network
and UnityPoint will also serve as
sponsors. “I appreciate the leadership
shown by these Iowa companies and
their commitment to the health and
well-being of Iowans,” Branstad
said.
The Healthiest State Initiative is
a privately led, public effort
that engages Iowans and their
communities
throughout
the
state. It involves individuals,
families, businesses, faith-based
organizations, not-for-profits and
the public sector in a broad-based
community-focused effort. For

Smart choice: health Insurance
workshop
Are you wondering what the changes in health insurance will mean for
you? Smart Choice: Health Insurance is a free workshop from Iowa State
University Extension and Outreach, designed to help you understand your
options and make the best decisions for your situation.
Three workshops are planned for Wright County:
Thurs., oct. 24, 6:30-8:30 p.m., Eagle Grove Memorial Library, Eagle
Grove
Wed., Nov. 13, 6-8 p.m., Clarion Public Library, Clarion
Tues., Nov. 19, 7-9 p.m., Belmond Public Library, Belmond
The workshop will be led by Barb Wollan, Extension Family Finance
specialist, and will be non-commercial and non-political. It will introduce
the new Health Insurance Marketplace—what it is and how to use it—and
will describe the cost reductions available to many Iowans through the
Marketplace. Participants will also build information and skills for choosing
a health insurance policy that fits their needs.
No pre-registration is required. If you have questions, contact Wright
County Extension, 515-532-3453.

Iowa KidsNet to hold information session
on foster care and adoption in Webster City
Iowa KidsNet, the statewide
organization that recruits, trains,
licenses, and supports Iowa’s foster
and adoptive families, will hold an
information session in Webster City
on Thursday, Oct. 10, for individuals
interested in becoming foster or
adoptive parents.
Foster care is the temporary
placement of children with families
outside of their own home due
to abuse, neglect or other family
crisis situations. The goal is for
loving families to provide children
with a safe, stable and nurturing
environment. There is no typical
foster family—foster families can
be single, married, homeowners or
renters and can come from all racial,
ethnic and religious backgrounds.
This information session gives
attendees a basic overview of the
process involved in foster care and
adoption and an understanding of
the characteristics of children in
the child welfare system. There
is no obligation to continue in the
process by attending.
There is a large need for more
families to foster teens, children
with special needs or behaviors, and
sibling groups. Iowa also has a need
for more African American, Latino
,and Native American foster and
adoptive parents.
To inquire online and see
future session dates, visit www.
iowakidsnet.com. Registrants will
receive an information packet to fill
out before attending the session.
Iowa KidsNet is a statewide
collaboration of agencies that
utilizes
a
unique,
cohesive
approach to provide recruitment,
training, licensing and continued
support to individuals who wish to
become foster and adoptive parents.
Iowa KidsNet is a partnership
of Iowa social service agencies,
including Four Oaks, Children’s
Square USA, Family Resources,
LSI, Quakerdale, and affiliate
Youth and Shelter Services. For

The Eagle Grove Eagle welcomes your Letter to the Editor. Share your opinions,
concerns and praise with the community through your hometown newspaper.
All signed letters will be considered, and are subject to General Manager’s
approval.
How is your positive attitude coming?
Have you been working on it? I sure
hope so, because I have another
inspirational message to help you along
your journey (or start) towards a better,
brighter attitude. Today’s message starts
with change, the change of a community.
But how can you possibly change a community? How do you make a difference
big enough to impact a
community? Why not start
small, and grow bigger?
Why not start with yourself?
After all, everyone thinks of changing
the world, but no one thinks of
changing themselves first. Why not
change yourself, and watch
the world change with you. Start with
yourself, and watch the ripple effect
your actions hold.

Proud to be from
Eagle Grove
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
We had the opportunity Saturday
(Sept. 21, 2013) to attend the
Celebration of Marching Bands
at Waseca, Minn., as we followed
the Eagle Grove Marching Band,
“Marching Eagles.” Waseca has a
marching band competition as part
of the band celebration. There were
school bands from three states in
attendance. I was proud to be from
Eagle Grove, as our high school
band was as good as any band there.
I was two blocks from the judges
stand. When the Eagles came toward
the judges stand, I could hear them
loud and clear. Their performance
sent chills down my back. Those
kids were playing their hearts out.
They are a small band, but when they
play, they sound like a big band. As
an alumnus of the Marching Eagles
(ʼ54-’57), they made us proud.

How impressive
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Thank you folks! We saw your elevator featured on TV and since we were
planning to eat lunch someplace, we chose Family Table in Eagle Grove and
got to see your elevator. Wow! My husband is a WWII veteran (Ex-POW)
so we really appreciated the patriotic theme and the message it sent. How
impressive.
God bless all of you.

To access an application online,
visit www.practicalfarmers.org or
call the PFI office at (515) 232-5661
to request a copy through the mail.
Up to 25 applicants will be admitted
in this fourth round of programming.
Those admitted will be part of the
Class of 2015, and are selected by
a committee of Practical Farmers
members using a scoring system that
rewards a noticeable commitment to
developing applicants’ independent
farm goals. All farm enterprises,
sizes, production methods and
marketing practices are eligible.
Selections will be made in early
November. To date, about 60 people
have been or are currently active in
the program.
The Savings Incentive Program
works by encouraging enrollees
to save up to $100 per month
for two years. After 24 months
and completion of all program
requirements, participants will earn
a dollar-for-dollar match on money
saved up to $2,400, for a possible
$4,800 to use toward purchasing a
farm asset.
Program Components: As part
of the program, participants will be
paired with a mentor, with whom they
must meet in-person at least three
times in the first year. Participants
must also:
• Open and manage a savings
account with Practical Farmers’
partner bank
• Create or fine-tune a business or
whole-farm plan
• Attend at least four PFI events
per year (online, on-farm or in
person). PFI events include online
trainings, field days, conferences,
workshops and more
• Conduct quarterly reviews via
email, phone or in-person with PFI
staff to check on progress toward
goals and program requirements
• Complete all forms and
requested information on time
“Through this program, Practical
Farmers of Iowa and its supporters
have forced me to look at our
farm from a completely different
perspective,” says Karla Hanson, a
current enrollee who raises sheep near
Monona. “Without the deadlines and
goals required of SIP participation, I
would not have moved forward with
our farming plans as quickly.”
Jordan Scheibel, another current
enrollee who grows produce and
herbs at Middle Way Farm near
Grinnel, says applying to the Savings
Incentive Program helped solidify
his farming intentions. “When I
applied, I was on the fence about how
committed I was to farming. Getting
accepted made my commitment
public.”
Jordan adds that entering the
program made him feel like he was
“now on the hook” to follow through
on building his farm business. “It
was the necessary kick I needed to
solidify my intentions and realize
that farming was possible, and that
I had the support I needed to be
successful at it. This program has
clearly made a difference in my life
and my ability to move forward with
my farm.”
Eligibility – Note: Requirements
are modified this year to consider
those not yet farming on their
own: To be eligible for the Savings
Incentive Program, applicants must
either be farming on their own now
and have farmed for five or fewer
years, or have some experience
working for a farm business.
This includes, but is not limited
to: internships, apprenticeships,
working as an hourly or salaried
employee or working on the family
farm. Applicants must also reside
in Iowa or farm in the state (out-ofstate residents are eligible, so long
as they are farming in Iowa), and
be members of Practical Farmers of
Iowa (candidates can join at www.
practicalfarmers.org or by calling
(515) 232-5661).
For questions about the Savings
Incentive Program or application
process, contact Marc Strobbe,
PFI farm viability coordinator,
at (515) 232-5661, or marc@

Jennifer’s Produce Tidbits
39, 40
Welcome back to Produce Tidbits. Fall has arrived and it’s my favorite
season of all. I think it’s because of all the beautiful deep, rich colors that
suddenly emerge. It’s like God’s paintbrush covers the trees with magnificent
arrays of red, gold, browns, and oranges. I love the cooler evenings that make
for a wonderful nights’ sleep when you leave the window open. The air smells
fresh and it’s refreshing to the soul.
With fall comes the new apple crop, which is my favorite, too! This week
I decided to write about my all time favorite apple and that is the HoneyCrisp
apple. Speaking of which, if you haven’t noticed, they have arrived in the
store!
HoneyCrisp apples originated from the Minnesota Apple Breeding Program
in which they crossed a Macoun apple with a Honeygold apple, and voila! The
HoneyCrisp apple was born. The Macoun apple (which originated in Trenton,
Ontario) is said to be very similar to that of a McIntosh apple. It is a smaller
apple, wine red in color, and has a juicy, crisp, and slightly tart flavor.
While the Honeygold apple (which is a cross between a Haralson and a
Golden Delicious) are medium to large size and are more green in color. They
are a sweet and very firm apple.
Put the two together, and you get the best tasting apple ever! HoneyCrisp
apples tend to be larger in size, between 2-¾ and 3-½ inches round. They are
60 to 90 percent red, with a green background color, and their flesh is cream
colored. They also have an extremely long storage life— sometimes up to six
months if kept in a refrigerated storage area.
HoneyCrisp apples are said to have double the cell structures that other
apples have, which give them that incredibly crisp texture. Harvest season
for the HoneyCrisp is from around September 15th to October 10th. They are
grown mostly in east central Minnesota.
When making any recipe containing apples, the HoneyCrisp apple will
most definitely only improve your recipe. They are a very versatile apple for
cooking, baking, and just plain eating. I read in an article about HoneyCrisp
apples, that not only do people love to eat them, so do horses!
So don’t forget to pick up your HoneyCrisp apple in our Produce Department
at Fareway, where (you guessed it) we are ALWAYS BEST AT FRESH!
Enjoy this beautiful weather and have a Fantastic week. Until next time,
good-bye.

A long, long time ago
it was kind of like story time, only with real live things to look
at instead of pictures in books. Kindergarten and first grade
students at Eagle Grove Elementary not only got the chance to
meet the new wright County naturalist, Jake Schaben, but they
also got to see flowers and animals that lived in this area back
in its prairie days, before people settled here. The youngsters
in Ashley hanson’s room (pictured above) seemed especially
impressed by the buffalo horn and learning that they are made of
keratin, the same thing human fingernails and hair are made of.

Eagle volleyball team
loses to Cowgirls, Gaels
Eagles suffer tough 49-0
loss to Dike-New Hartford
Pickering with 16 digs vs. C-G
By Les Houser
[email protected]
While the Eagle Grove varsity
volleyball team is having trouble
getting back into the win column
in recent action they are showing
improvement. They traveled to
Clarion last Tuesday and lost to the
Cowgirls in three sets, then dropped
three more to the St. Edmond Gaels
last Thursday in a home match.
Set scores from the match with
the Cowgirls were 25-19, 25-19, 2512. The team served at almost 81
percent, with two Cowgirls achieving
perfection. Megan Crail and Sam
Kruckenberg were both 7 of 7 with
Crail also getting an ace serve. Maci
Pickering was 6 of 7 and Brianna
Allen 2 of 3. Tori Axtell was 8 of 10,
Daisah Shivers 7 of 10 with an ace
and Heather Wilson 5 of 8 with an
ace.
Shivers had nine assists as setter,
with Crail adding seven more assists
in her sets. Wilson led the offensive
attack with six kills. Dani Koester
added five, Kruckenberg four and
Leslie Cooper three. Crail made two
spikes for points and Allen one.
The team totaled 41 digs, with
Pickering having a huge night
in handling 16 saves of the ball.
Kruckenberg made nine digs, Axtell
eight and Crail five. Shivers chipped
in two of them and Wilson one.
Crail had one solo block. Wilson
added two block assists, while Crail
and Mallory Hammitt made one
assist apiece.
“It was a case of the walking
wounded for both teams,” said head
coach Jim McLaughlin. “We were
more competitive, but got down early
in the first set and didn’t respond well.
We were right with them to the end
in the final two sets. We did a much
better job of passing, with Pickering
and Axtell helping out well. Our
hitters are getting in better position
so our setters can have more than
one option. We’re communicating
better to let each other know what
they’re doing.”
The coach was happy with his front
line play. “Koester and Kruckenberg
had nice nights with their hitting,”
said McLaughlin. “Our hitting has
not been consistent, but thanks to
our assistant coaches we’ve been
working on it in practice and it’s
coming. We’re not where we want to
be yet but getting there.”
Set scores in the loss to St.
Edmond where 25-13, 25-18, 25-21.
The purple and gold served at 92.5
percent, with several Eagles having
perfect nights from the line. Crail
and Kruckenberg were both 8 of 8
and both had an ace serve thrown in.
Axtell went 7 of 7 with two aces on
the night, while Pickering was 3 of
3. Wilson went 11 of 12 with three
aces and Shivers was 12 of 14 with
an ace.
Shivers set for seven assists, Crail
six assists and Cooper one assist.
Cooper was the kill leader with six
successful slams for points. Crail,
Koester, Kruckenberg, Pickering and
Wilson all added one spike apiece.
The team tallied 40 total digs,
with the individual numbers evenly
distributed among nine different
players. Kruckenberg made nine
saves, Pickering eight and Axtell
seven. Cooper and Shivers both
came up with four apiece, while
Wilson added three of her own.
Hammitt and Koester each made
two and Brandi Osborn one save.
Wilson added two solo blocks to her
final line.
“Again, as with Clarion-Goldfield,
we fought all the way and competed
to the end,” said the coach. “We
were up 8-1 early in the third set
but couldn’t sustain our momentum.
Over our last eight matches we’ve

Tori Axtell has been contributing good minutes to the Eagle

had eight digs and went 8 of 10 from the serving line. In the
Thursday match with St. Ed, she was 7 of 7 with two aces and

scored at least 15 or more points.
We’re doing a better job of sustaining
runs and keeping their big runs
down.”
The team is 1-16 overall and hosts
Algona this Thursday before playing
in the Bishop Garrigan Tournament
on Saturday in Algona. They play
at Webster City next Tuesday. “This
was a confidence building week for
us,” concluded McLaughlin. “Now
we have to keep sustaining it and
playing to the end of matches. Our
setters are running the offense better,
so now we can begin to change up
our speeds on offense. The kids are
upbeat and continue to work hard.”

The Dike-New Hartford Wolverines
left Eagle Grove last Friday night
with a 49-0 victory over the Eagles,
keeping themselves squarely in the
playoff picture in Class 1A, District 3.
The Eagles slip to 0-4 with the loss.
“We’re dealing with adversity
right now, but are teaching the kids
how to get through it and how to deal
with it themselves,” said head coach
Kelly Williamson. “I’m so proud of
them. They’re putting themselves in a
fishbowl, but are still showing up to
work everyday to give us everything
they’ve got. They’re fantastic kids
and they will be winners in life after
football is over.”
The Wolverines took the opening
kick and scored on their first drive,
covering 65 yards and helped out by a
53-yard pass play down to the Eagle’s
eight. The Eagle’s first drive went
three and out, with D-NH scoring
four plays later and over 40 yards
of distance. On the next drive, the
Eagles did manage to move 32 yards
in seven plays before turning it over
on downs. The Wolverines wasted no
time after that, hooking up on a 47yard touchdown pass for a score.
Another three downs and out gave
D-NH the ball, which soon took the
game into the second period. They
would start that quarter with a score to
make it 28-0. The ensuing Eagle drive
started at their 29, and was quickly
helped out by a 15-yard personal foul
penalty on the Wolverines. A later
penalty of the Eagles brought progress
back to their 31, and forced them to
punt. Dike-NH would score eight
plays later. A Wolverine interception
on the next Eagle series would then
result in another score five plays later,
and the half soon ended with D-NH
up 42-0.
The Wolverines tacked on their
final touchdown on a 65-yard punt
return early in the third quarter. The
Eagles would have three more drives
in that half, the longest going for 31
yards and picking up two first downs
before ending at the Wolverine 21
with the ball turned over on downs.
The Eagles compiled 88 total net
yards with D-NH finishing with 379
net yards. The Eagles had six first
downs on 47 total offensive plays.
They had 21:35 in possession time
compared to 26:25 for the Wolverines.
The Eagles failed to convert a thirddown in 11 tries, but did convert one
in four fourth-down attempts. They
were penalized six times for 40 yards,
while the Wolverines were whistled
five times for 109 yards.
Devon Omvig gained 31 net
yards on 16 attempts. Dylan Thielen
added 21 yards, Graeham Schope 12
yards and Julian Calderon five yards.
Omvig was two of 16 passing for 20
yards, with Zach Ploeger catching a
20-yard pass. Josh Morris lost four
yards on the other catch.
Thielen kicked once for a 25yard average, and Schope punted
six times for a 26.5 yard average.
Morris returned three kicks for 48
yards, Omvig one for nine yards and
Schope one for four yards. Schope
also returned a punt for 14 yards. The
team recovered two fumbles.

Every August, while still in the
heat of a typical Iowa summer, high
school football teams all across
the state begin their preparations
for what they always hope will be
a successful season…possibly a
championship season. While a select
few do achieve that goal, many others
have to settle for simply a winning
season. Still others are in a third
category, which would be that they’re
lucky to even win a game all year.
As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t
have to automatically mean that they
worked any less hard to achieve their
dreams.
It is an obvious fact that, here in
Eagle Grove, we had a winless team a
year ago. That is in the history books
and nothing will change it. What is
not written in there is how the team

felt about the season, and how hard
they worked to be successful. It can’t
always be measured in just wins and
losses, but our society in general
is too keyed into winning and the
phrase “what have you done for us
lately?” We need to remember that
we are not that far removed from the
good years of this program, with the
knowledge that everything cycles
around at some point. The good days
will be back again, as surely as they
came before.
In my very first meeting with
coach Williamson to prepare the
season preview story, he told me
about what his team did the next day
following last season’s final game.
When he brought them into his office
at the school, they didn’t hang their
heads and feel sorry for themselves
that they never won a game. They
told him they had a great experience
and learned a lot, and in no way did
it feel like a 0-9 season. They felt
things were done in a first class way. I
think that shows a bunch of first class
kids as well!
I know that everyone wants to be
a winner, and winning can cure a lot
of problems, but the reality is that not
every team can. Every student-athlete
that participates in sports in the state
of Iowa gains a winning attitude,
whether they win many games
or not. They learn determination,
perseverance, respect, teamwork
and what it takes to reach their goals
This week: Hudson (2-2) at Eagles
(0-4)- The Pirates are coming off
an 18-14 loss to South Hamilton.
“They will be a very athletic team
with weapons all over the field,”
said Williamson. “Their quarterback
Cameron Wright triggers an offense
that will spread you out and cause
problems for opponents both running
and throwing the ball. Their signature
win this season was a 30-12 victory
over Aplington-Parkersburg two
weeks ago. We need to have a great
week of preparation and give a great
effort Friday night.”
among others. That’s stuff that won’t
show up on any stat sheet or in any
record, but it’s no less important. All
of it will serve them well for the rest
of their life, and the record will just
become a faded memory. After all,
sports are just a game, a vehicle to
teach athletes more important lessons
about life.
As the new sports editor of the
Eagle Grove Eagle, I’ve gotten to
know many of the coaches over the
last couple of weeks. I’ve seen firsthand how much time and dedication
each of them put into not just the
sport, but more importantly, into
the students. The best way we as a
community can thank them for their
commitment to our student athletes
is to show our support back. Let’s
go to the games, cheer them on, win
or lose. Show your school spirit.
Wear purple and gold. Encourage
all students to participate in school
extra curricular activities, whether
it be sports, drama, a club - just get
involved and be proud to be an Eagle.
That is the meausre of success.
With this being Homecoming
week, it’s a great time for us to rally
around all the Eagle teams. Come
cheer them on to victory. They need
that support now more than ever.
They have worked just as hard as any
other team, and the coaches and kids
have re-dedicated themselves to the
season and are not giving up. They
deserve no less from all of us.

It’s not every day that middle school students get to let a teacher
have it, but on Friday, Sept. 20, that’s exactly what some of the
Robert Blue Middle School students got to do. Any student
who sold a minimum of seven magazines during their recent

What’s easier than rolling out of bed and coming to school as

also face painting, a bean bag toss, great food, a car show, and
a ventriloquist. People from one to 101+ enjoyed the fun-filled

Questions about late harvest, low
prices addressed by Iowa State
By Charles Hurburgh
and
Willy Klein
Members of the extension crops
team from Iowa State University
responded to producer questions
related to the late spring, dry
summer and slow crop development
by holding meetings in north central
Iowa last week.
Extension field agronomists Mark
Johnson and Paul Kassel discussed
crop maturity, crop drying, potential
effects of an early frost, and preharvest preparations at meetings held
in Clarion, Wesley, and Sheffield.
Charles Hurburgh, extension grain
quality and handling specialist,
spoke of 2013 crop quality,
including moisture and test weight
variability, potential diseases, and
the best practices for handling and
storing the crop.
Iowa State specialists Chad
Hart, extension economist, and
Kelvin Leibold, extension farm
management specialist, reviewed
the 2013-2014 crop market outlook
at the meetings.
For the benefit of those not
attending the meetings, ISU
Extension and Outreach has made
