Calling all
elementary
and middle
school students
Fill the field with school spirit during
this Friday night’s home football game
By Kim demory
[email protected]
Eagle Grove Elementary and
Robert Blue Middle School students here is your chance to feel like a part of
the Eagle Grove High School football
team.
The Mama Cats (a newly formed
group at Eagle Grove Elementary) are
promoting school spirit, and they need
your help. They are organizing a tunnel
for the players to run through as they
enter the football field after halftime
this Friday night, Oct. 24.
When the players head off their
field at the start of halftime, students
are encouraged to make their way to
the south end of the football field where
they will be lined up to form a tunnel
for the players to run through when
they return to the game.
It is their final home game of the
season. Come out and cheer them on
as they return for the final two quarters
of play and let them know how much
we appreciate their hard work and
dedication to the season. The points on
the scoreboard don’t always reflect the
winning attitude of a team.
Photographs of the 2014 EGHS
football team will also be available for
all elementary/middle school students
who would like to stick around after the
game and have them autographed.

Career Academy students are
learning from the “real world”
by Kim demory
[email protected]
In the past two weeks, there
have been two interesting visits at
the Career Academy. The focus is to
show students what job opportunities
are available to them in the region.
Both companies are very
successful – one is a large
conglomeration and the other is very
large family owned business – both
international. Even though the size
was different, the principles for their
employees are very similar.
Both set very high standards
for their employees and themselves.
Volunteerism, community service,
being a good citizen, well rounded.
“If a person fits into the
organization with attitude and
personality, many times we can
teach them the skills,” said Dave
Maxheimer of Hagies.
Students broke into their two
class areas – business learned about
HR issues, interviewing, and the
different positions available. The
manufacturing side took a longer tour
and looked at many of the equipment
that they are learning about.
Koch Industries – Guiding
Principles to work there: Integrity,
Compliance,
Value
Creating,
Principled
Entrepreneurship,
Customer
Focus,
Knowledge,
Change, Humility, Respect &
fulfillment.
Executives from
Recruiting and Human Resources
and the plant manager from the
Duncombe facility.
Both organizations talked about
the importance of watching what is
out there on Facebook and Linkedin.
A company will look and will find
those pictures that you don’t want
anyone to see. Eventually they will
surface and your employer will find
it. What you do even off hours, is a
reflection of your employer.
Hagies discussed their very
unusual application process which
include
innovative
application
questions to team interview activities.
Koch is more structured, but it might
be necessary to meet with five or six
people before you are hired.
Both organizations stressed to
students that the activities they do
in high school can land them a job.
Employers want to see that you are
active and part of the community or
worked during your high school or
college years.

Another
scam
There is another phone scam
going around, and this time, they
are claiming you’ve won a trip from
Expedia.com.
An Eagle Grove Eagle reader
recently notified us that she had
received this call and it showed it
was from an Eagle Grove based
number. When she answered the call,
a recorded voice came on and told her
she had won a trip from the online
travel savings site, Expedia.com. It
was for seven days and six nights to
Mexico. The catch was that she had
to be at least 31 years old, along with
other requirements. To verify, she was
prompted to “press one.”
Instead, she hung up the phone
and reported it to the police. Right
after she hung up with the dispatcher,
they also received the same phone call
but from a different number.
If you receive this phone call, you
are encouraged to hand up and then go
to iowaattorneygeneral.gov and file a
consumer fraud complaint.

RBMS eighth graders attend
Leadership Conference
Fifteen eighth grade students,
along with two staff members,
represented Robert Blue Middle
School at the 2014 Pursuing Victory
with Honor Summit held on October
14 at the University of Northern
Iowa Campus in Cedar Falls. Over
700 students from around Iowa
participated in the conference
designed to build the moral and
performance
character
traits
needed to develop strong leadership
skills. Keynote speaker was Dr.
Matt Davidson of the Institute for
Excellence & Ethics. Students also
had the opportunity to hear coaches
and other leaders including Ben
Jacobson, UNI Men’s Basketball
Coach.
Participants rotated between
four breakout sessions on the
following topics:
Taking responsibility for self
and others
Managing stress by refacing and
refraining
Leading through communication
& “carefrontation”
Developing a mindset of
toughness
Eighth grade students were
nominated by their teachers to
participate in the conference, but
were required to submit an essay
addressing how they will use
the information.
Following the
conference, students were asked to
reflect on their learning from the
day.
Cindy Roblero-Delgrado, a new
student in the Eagle Grove School
District this year stated, “At the
conference, I learned steps to become
a good leader. I learned that only you
can control your own actions and to
take pride in where you come from
and who you are.”
Maggie Wachowiak stated that
she learned about what it meant to
be a leader. “I learned that a leader is
the person who starts something and
gets people to follow along. I also
learned about mental strength and
how to use it to your advantage.”
Laine Morgan also reflected
on strength and toughness saying,
“I learned that even the best people
have failed at least once in their
life and how being mentally tough
is a lot more important than being
physically tough.”
Natalie Vrba said that she will

year-round comfort.
use the information to be a better
leader by learning how to lead in a
way that helps other as well as helps
herself. Natalie referred to a quote
by Jim Rohn that helped her realize
what real leadership is. It says,
“The challenge of leadership is to
be strong, but not rude; be kind, but
not weak; be bold, but not bully; be
thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble,
but not timid; be proud, but not
arrogant; have humor, but without
folly.”
Mariana Gonzalez reflected
on a session about “carefrontation”
saying, “I learned how to give
constructive criticism without being
rude, or judgmental.” Mariana stated
that she hopes to use the information
to become a better leader by taking
more action at school. She says, “I
have multiple creative ideas for the
Robert Blue Middle School to take
part in.”
Chaperoning
the
RBMS
students were Leslie Wenzel, 8th
grade adviser and teacher and Beth
Stephas, School Counselor.
The conference was sponsored
by Character Counts In Iowa and
Unity Point Health.

goals of the organization.
Mr. Paul Wilde and Mrs. Nikki
Rick from Eagle Grove Area Dollars
for Scholars® attended this event.
They were given more insight to
the importance of ChapterNet. “It
is important to understand the use
of technology and how important
it is in today’s society. You do not
have to be a Senior at Eagle Grove
High School to access EGADFS
ChapterNet. Any student in grades
9-11 can start and are encouraged
to fill out their Profile.” Said Paul
Wilde. “ I appreciate the fact that
even after the seniors graduate
from EGHS, the will have access
to their profile during their college
years. They will have access to
scholarships that are available to
college sophomores, juniors and
seniors. All they have to do is apply
for these scholarships.” Said Nikki
Rick. Each one also commented and
agreed that the students both in high
school and college also have access
to FastWeb, a huge scholarship
search engine. Both agreed that
being a part of an organization that
is helping students and their parents
by giving them an opportunity to
save on college tuition is exciting! If
any organization or group would like
more information about Eagle Grove
Area Dollars for Scholars, there are
board members that are available to
come and visit with you, said Nikki.
We meet the fourth Monday night

Council hears about plans for
new police computer software
Also approve more items for DD#94 project
By les houser
[email protected]
Derek Hamil of Tac.10, a law
enforcement software company
based in Cedar Falls, was present at
the Clarion City Council meeting this
past Monday at the request of Police
Chief Ray Beltran. He was there to
explain a new program being offered
to the city, and county, and answer
questions. “We’re trying to go countywide with this program,” said Beltran
before turning things over to Hamil.
“It’s good to get everyone on board
with this.”
The city currently utilizes Sleuth,
which Hamil said is a duplication
of services. “This program will
eliminate the error of overlapping
information,” said Hamil. He
describes it as cutting-edge software
for the current needs, as most
currently used programs were made
back in the late 1970’s. “It has served
the purpose, but it won’t last much
longer,” said Hamil. He feels that the
best part about this package is that it’s
web-based software which updates
quickly and easily. “Law enforcement
personnel will have access, in their
cars, to pretty much everything that
the dispatchers have available to
them,” said Hamil. Beltran will keep
the Council updated as talks continue
on implementing this.
Tim Moreau with V&K
Engineering was present to update the
Council on the DD#94 project and go
over several items for Council action.
He stated that contracts have now
been signed and returned by Midwest
Pipe Tool Company for the 2014
sanitary sewer rehab project. “There
was a little problem with receiving
their certificate of insurance, but it
should be on file before they start
the project,” said Moreau. Resolution
2014-32 was then passed, which
authorized Mayor Sandra McGrath
to sign and approve the contract and
bond for the City. A pre-con meeting
is scheduled for this week.
Attention then turned to items
involving the DD#94 retrofit project
through the city. Pay estimate #9 for
$271,823.96 to McKiness Excavating
Inc. was approved, which represents
about 80 percent completion of the
project. The Council reviewed and
approved the cooperative agreement
between the City and the Union
Pacific Railroad for the work on
culverts within their right of way.
The document outlines the
replacement of an existing box culvert
with two 72” steel culverts provided
by the railroad. “They did express
desire earlier to replace the other
existing box culvert with an 84” steel
pipe at a later date, but they’re now not
sure about doing that,” said Moreau.
According to City Administrator
Mike Boyd, this plan by the railroad
to utilize their existing inventory of
pipe will save the City about $35,000.
Moreau said a change order will now
be forthcoming at the next Council
meeting for the design change.
A revised plan was also
presented for the seeding of the
work areas throughout the project
boundaries. “The intent was to have
all seeding done by now, but the
weather didn’t cooperate for that so
the ideal window has now closed,”
said Moreau. The plan is to use both
an urban mix, which is made up of
seed for an average city lawn, in
some areas and a rural mix on the
rest. “They will use a dormant seed,
and utilize a bonded fiber matrix for
everything,” said Moreau. “It will
represent an $11,000 increase, but it
needs to be done before leaving it for
the winter.”
The Council approved several
permit applications. Building permits
were awarded to Steve Ingram (new
sewer), Leigh Banwell (sump pit and
pump), Dennis Stoll (new sewer line),
Kristi Trausch (carport) and Conrad
Kleppe (pergola). Parking permit
applications were approved for Maria
Calles and Alvin Spangler.
Bridge In Norway Township
slated to be replaced next year
By: Jacob Snyder
[email protected]
The Wright County Board of
Supervisors approved for a new
bridge to be installed in Section 32
of the Norway Township.
Adam Clemons, engineer for
Wright County, talked with the
Board about replacing this bridge,
which he called “deficient and
obsolete” with a new concrete one.
The new bridge will be a 30
foot wide and 110 foot long piece of
continuous concrete slab.
Though the Wright County
Engineer & Secondary Roads Office
does not make public the estimated
cost of the project, Clemons did
indicate there is approximately
$400,000 in the budget for it. And
no local dollars will be used for the
project.
“Eighty percent will be paid
using the BR (Bridge Replacement)
Fund and 20 percent from our FM
(farm-to-market) Fund,” Clemons
said.
Clemons estimated the project
would be completed in the summer
or fall of 2015.
In other news, the Board
approved Resolution 2014-18 in
support of an incentive initiative
created for the Home Base Iowa
program.
They also reviewed and
approved a Conflict of Interest
policy for the MIDAS Council of
Government.
Finally, they received the
quarterly report from the Wright
County Recorder’s Office.
Calling all the zombies
There’s still time to sign up to be a part of the Zombie 5K
by Kim demory
[email protected]
The nights are getting longer
and there’s a chill in the air which can only mean it’s nearly
time for the zombies to invade
Eagle Grove.
The first-ever Zombie 5K
Run will be held at the Eagle
Grove Golf Course on Saturday,
Oct. 25. The event, sponsored by
Building Families, will feature a
5K fun run obstacle course with
Zombies who will be trying to
steal runners’ lives. Does this
sound like fun to you? Then dig
out your oldest, rattiest clothes
and put on your best zombie
face, and come out and get in on
the action. There’s no charge to
scare, just a willingness to get
into character and have a great
time. Your objective is to steal
runners’ flags....and make them
purchase more.
“I will take as many zombies
as I can get,” said coordinator
Angela Wesselink. In fact, she
hopes people will run a shift first,
then come be a zombie, too.
“It is a great way for a parent
and child to spend a beautiful
Saturday together,” she added.
All proceeds from this event
will be used to help local children/
families in the prevention of child
abuse, through Building Families,
a non-profit organization serving
Hamilton, Humboldt, and Wright
Counties.
While this event is intended
to be scary in a fun way, what
is truly startling is the fact that
Hamilton County ranks 15th
in the state for child abuse;
Humboldt ranks 46th, and Wright
County ranks third. Don’t run the
Zombie 5K “just because,” run
“for the cause.”

Brett Jensen becomes newest
member of Triton Hall of Fame
Inducted on October 4 at Iowa Central
Part 2 of 2
by Les Houser
[email protected]
Brett Jensen, the son of Linda
and the late Gale Jensen, grew up
playing baseball. He ended his high
school career on a high note - being
part of a team that brought home the
state championship trophy. With
college just around the corner, Jensen
found himself with offers to play
college ball at either Northern Iowa
or Nebraska. “I was shocked to be
getting attention from D1 programs,
especially considering that Nebraska
had just played in the College World
Series that summer,” said Jensen.
At Nebraska, Jensen quickly
found out that this was not going
to be quite the same as high
school baseball. “It was extremely
different,” said Jensen. “When I
first got on campus, I was just trying
to adjust to going to school with
20,000 other students in a new city
plus trying to keep my head above
water in the classroom. On top of all
that, I was a new guy on the team
and trying to stand out amongst 40
other super-talented guys playing for
coaches that demand your best effort
everyday. Every batter you faced was
all-state, or drafted, and what your
ERA was or how many conference
and state championships you had
won didn’t carry much weight.” He
also said he felt lucky to have spent
a year at ICCC first, which gave him
at least a small taste of that.
Along with the success came the
recognition. He followed a 1st Team
Junior College All-American honor
at Iowa Central with a 2nd Team AllBig 12 selection in 2005. The next
year, he was named to the 1st Team
in the Big 12, and graduated with an
A.S. in Communication Studies. He
still holds the Cornhuskers career
saves record with 31 during his time
there.
As you can see from the previous
paragraph, Jensen is a pitcher and
has always wanted to pitch since
his little league days. “I’ve always
wanted to play shortstop and pitch,”
said Jensen. “But once I got into high
school, I grew about seven inches
and my lateral quickness evaporated.
Plus, we had Ryan O’Hern who
could play shortstop better than
anyone in the area.” Jensen was a
side-arm thrower, and could fill the
strike zone. He relates that, when he
was younger, people thought he was
throwing incorrectly but it ended up
being a major advantage for him and
it separated him from a lot of other
pitchers. “Once I started throwing
in the upper 80’s, it was pretty much
a given that my hitting days were
numbered if I wanted to play college
baseball,” said Jensen.
It wasn’t long before he started
getting the attention of professional
baseball scouts, who saw his potential
for the next level. “I was actually
drafted three times during college,
but waited until after my senior year
to take the offer,” said Jensen. He
recalled that, in 2006, he was driving
back to his home town to spend a few
days when he got the call from his
scout that he’d been drafted by the
Detroit Tigers in the 14th round. He
admits that he was keeping track of
the first seven rounds, then stopped
paying attention and was not happy
about still waiting to be selected.
“It was obviously an honor to be
drafted, and to be able to put on a
major league team’s uniform for the
first time was such a cool experience
that very few guys get,” said Jensen.
He would end up spending four
years perfecting his skills in the
Tiger’s minor league farm system,
which was quite an experience in and
of itself. “There are so many variables
in professional baseball, including
injuries, signing bonuses, depth
charts, etc., that guys come and go
so often,” said Jensen. During spring
training, Jensen quickly became used
to the sight of a guy cleaning out his
locker with a trash bag as his dream
was dashed at least for another year.
He also may have lost a friend or two
during that process. “You develop a
bond with the guys you were in the
same draft class with, but as each
year passes that group gets smaller
and smaller due to cuts, trades and
roster movement,” said Jensen. “It’s
just the nature of the business. The
great thing about the experience
is that all 25 guys are in the same
situation and so it’s easy to develop
friendships because you’ve all been
thrown together in a strange town
(in this case, Erie, Pennsylvania) and
you spend every day together.”
Jensen admits that he isn’t sure
how close he ever came to being
called up to the big leagues. “When
you’re a rookie, or in ‘A’ ball, there’s
basically zero chance of you being
called up,” said Jensen. “Once
you get to double-A or triple-A, it
becomes a real possibility as your
teammates get called up quite often.
I was fortunate, in that I skipped a
level and was promoted to triple-A
in 2008 out of spring training.”
Unfortunately for Jensen, after just
five appearances that year he tore
a ligament in his elbow requiring
Tommy John surgery. The pitcher
who he had previously beaten out for
the closer position then replaced him
in double A, and two weeks later was
promoted to the majors to replace an
injured pitcher on the staff. “Who
knows, but maybe if I had stayed
healthy it could have been me,” said
Jensen. “It’s hard to say for sure.”
Jensen feels that the most
important thing he has gained,
throughout his playing career, were
the relationships with the guys on the
ball club. He still keeps in touch with
many of the guys he played with, and
they’re spread out across the country
and even the world. “Some of those
guys are major league all-stars, and
some are married with kids,” said
Jensen. “I don’t have many regrets,
or miss the grind of the season.
What I do miss is going through all
that with my teammates, and sharing
that experience with guys exactly
like yourself.”
When it comes to life lessons
beyond the game, he feels that you
can learn a lot about yourself when
you’re the one standing on the
mound in a tight game in front of
a crowd. “I’ve learned that a quiet
confidence goes a long ways, and
that you can create your own luck by
believing in your skills and relying
on your strengths,” said Jensen.
“Most importantly, I learned how
to compete. Those things go beyond
baseball.”
Looking back, he feels that the
experience was great and while the
money he was paid wasn’t all the
good, compared to even a smaller
big league salary, he was also not
spending money either. “You eat
lunch and dinner at the ball park
every day, rent cheap apartments
with three or four other players and
usually share a car with roommates,”
said Jensen. “Typically, we would
rent our furniture for the season and
split the cost evenly among us.” He
also commented that, for a guy in his
mid-20’s, the constant travel wasn’t
all that bad. “The bus rides were
long, but I was able to see so many
different places I would have never
gotten to experience otherwise,” said
Jensen. “Sometimes we would leave
Erie at 11 p.m., after a night game,
and drive all night to get to Portland,
Maine the following morning and
then have to be at the stadium by 2
p.m. to take pre-game warm-ups.
At that point, you don’t really know
anything different so you just roll
with it. Sometimes it’s nice to be
able to fit everything into a couple of
bags and live out of a hotel for two
weeks while on the road.”
When given the opportunity
through this article, he said he has
a lot of people to thank for what he
accomplished. “So many people in
the community took an interest in
me and our group of players,” said
Jensen. “Tom Bachel would spend
his lunch time teaching me and his
son Bryan how to properly catch fly
balls or field a grounder. Even until
my last year in pro ball, Tom would
call me up to see how I was doing
and to get the inside scoop on his
beloved Tigers”
Several others are on this thank
you list too. “I couldn’t even begin to
count how many times Dan O’Hern
pulled into my driveway with Ryan
to pick me up for batting practice or
unlock the gym so we could battle
it out on the basketball court,” said
Jensen. “Guys like Tom Peterson
and the late John Morgan spent a lot
of time during the summers helping
teach kids how to play the game the
right way. Obviously, my high school
coaches Brett Hersom, Bruce Rholl
and Clay and Luke Hanson, who saw
my potential and pushed me to be
better even though I wasn’t always
as enthused. Thanks to families like
the Nelson’s, Reiland’s, Cooper’s,
Pedersen’s and Iverson’s, amongst
others, where I spent so much time.
Brian Nelson even used to listen to
my games at Nebraska while in the
field farming.”
Last, but not least, he thanks
his family. “They traveled across
the country to watch me throughout
those years, and it meant so much
to always have their support,” said
Jensen. “Even in crowds of 8,000
people, mom’s encouraging voice
always stood out. I only wish my dad
could have gotten to watch me play
for his home state university, and
see that all the pitches that bounced
off his shins while catching for me
hadn’t gone to waste.”
It started with just an afternoon
of a father catching for his son,
and ended with a high school state
title, accolades and records while
in college ball and was topped off
with a stint in the minor leagues of
professional baseball. Not too bad
for a kid from Eagle Grove, Iowa
who, more than anything else, simply
loved the game.
“When I signed with the Tigers,
I had a motto which was ‘I’m either
moving up or I’m moving out’,” said
Jensen. “Meaning that I didn’t want
to kick around the minors forever. I
wanted to either make it to the big
leagues or get a real life. So while I
loved playing, I was realistic in the
fact that the odds of making it to the
highest level were extremely small.
Once I realized that I was essentially
treading water in professional
baseball, I decided to retire. I had a
great run, and truly enjoyed it.”

Goldfield raising funds for future projects
The Goldfield Women’s Club is sponsoring a Soup Supper again this year

projects, but need your freewill donations in order to make them happen.

We Remember Our Loved Ones
Dorothy A. Woodall, 77, Eagle Grove
Dorothy A. “Dot” (Maharas)
Woodall, the daughter of Nick and
Thelma (Tucker) Maharas, was born
April 12, 1930, in Algona, Iowa. She
was raised and educated in the area
of her birth, graduating from Algona
High School in 1948. Dorothy
attended Bernel’s Beauty School in
1949, and was an instructor at the
school for many years.
On April 12, 1958, Dorothy was
united in marriage with Samuel
A. Woodall in Sioux Falls, South
Dakota. The couple made their
home in Fort Dodge, and moved
to Eagle Grove in 1959. Dorothy
worked as a cook at the school for
38 years, from 1964–1992, and
retired to care for Sam who had two
strokes. Sam preceded her in death
on June 27, 2004.
Dorothy was a member of
the United Methodist Church in
Eagle Grove, Book Worms, and
Rotary Ann Auxiliary. Her life
revolved around her children and
grandchildren, which she was so
proud of. Dorothy loved all children
and was “grandma” to all the kids
she knew, always making sure she
had cookies on her dishwasher for
everyone to enjoy!
Dorothy passed away on Saturday,
October 18, 2014, at Mercy Medical
Center in Des Moines, at the age of
84 years.
She was also preceded in death
by her parents; son, Russel, and his
wife, Patty Woodall; grandson, Ryan
Thompson; sister, Viola Schipull;
and three brothers, Virgil, Bill and
Nick Maharas; brothers-in-law:
Robert, Raymond, Rodger, Dick
and Richard Woodall, and Leonard
Schipull; sisters-in-law: Dorothy

Pastor Rich Taylor of Samuel
Lutheran Church in Eagle Grove
would like to invite you to spend
an evening with them and their
guest, Klaudia Zhelezny, a Ukraine
immigrant who grew up atheist, but
now spreads the news of Jesus as a
believer.
Zhelezny will share her story
of how she came to know Jesus
beginning at 7 p.m. this Thursday,
Oct. 23 at Samuel Lutheran Church.
She’ll tell you how her 18-year-old
son nearly didn’t get to leave Kiev,
Ukraine when their family decided
to leave for America and how that
was when she called upon God for
help for the first time in her life.
After the family’s visas came
through just in time, Zhelezny
started to question if perhaps there
really was a God. After meeting a
Baptist Pastor who gave the family
a Bible, Zhelezny read the Old
Testament to find her own answers,
and she became a believer.
In 1997, Zhelezny was invited to
serve with Chosen People Ministries.
Her ministry is in Brooklyn, among
Russian Jewish immigrants like
herself. Now, she is spreading her
message to the people of the Eagle
Grove area for one-night-only. You
are invited to join them.

ATTENTION ALL
EAGLES…
Has life been getting in the way or your
faith walk? What do I mean by this?
Well, have you been spending
more time on chores, and life’s daily,
mundane events rather than giving your
praise to God? Rather
than putting your
trust in God? Sometimes
it’s easy to want control over our lives,
but we need to remember who is
really in control.
And God, the one who is
truly in control, will
never let you down.
— A message from The Nice Guy
Vote for Husinga
Letter to the Editor:
I have known Nancy Paule Husinga since she was a young girl. I know her
to be caring, honest, and intelligent. I urge you to consider her for the position
of Representative of the 8th District of Iowa. She has been a registered nurse
caregiver for many years in both hospital and Hospice positions. Nancy will
work tirelessly for all people, regardless of age, gender, or nation of origin.
She believes in increasing the minimum hourly wage so that struggling
Iowans have the opportunity to climb out of possible poverty, and Nancy
will strive daily for the welfare of those imprisoned by mental illness and
the healthcare system. Please remember the concerns and history Nancy has
exhibited as you exercise your right to vote this November.

You are what you eat
By: Annette Snyder,
MS, RD, LD
Registered Dietitian
Wright Medical Center
I love this time of year. I drive
my family crazy with my orange
obsession…everything
pumpkin.
I’m not sure how the infatuation
started, but it is here to stay. There’s
more to pumpkin than lattes and pie,
however. This versatile vegetable
packs a nutrition punch and can be
used in a variety of ways.
Let’s start with the stats. One
cup of pumpkin puree contains only
80 calories, very little fat, up to 10
grams of fiber (wow), antioxidants
(beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin,
and 600 percent of your daily vitamin
A needs), minerals (iron, magnesium,
potassium, copper, manganese), and
a good dose of other vitamins (C, E,
K). The beauty of pumpkin is that a
little goes a long way, meaning you
don’t need much to get its earthy
flavor coming through.
Those potent antioxidants have
a number of roles, one of which is
protecting the body’s cells from
free radical damage. They are rustproofers! Zeaxanthin actually zones
in on the retina of the eye. In addition
to keeping eyes healthy, vitamin A is
needed to maintain our skin.
Now that we know just how
great pumpkin can be, how do we use
it? The puree or flesh of the pumpkin
can be added to smoothies, muffins,
pancakes, oatmeal, yogurt, pudding,
made into pumpkin butter, even as a
stir-fried or roasted vegetable (chunks
of pumpkin, not puree).
In addition to the flesh of the
pumpkin, the seeds deliver the good
stuff. Fiber, healthy fats, protein,
minerals, and vitamins hang out
here. The next time you carve a
pumpkin, save those seeds you scoop
out. Rinse them off and dry them out
in the oven with a sprinkle of salt.
Pumpkin seeds are tasty as a snack
on their own, or can be tossed on a
salad.
One of my favorite fall treats is
a pumpkin smoothie. Place all of the
following in a blender and process
until smooth: ½ cup pumpkin puree,
1 frozen banana, 1 cup milk of choice
(I use skim or almond), 1 Tbsp pure
maple syrup (or can use sweetener of
choice), ¼ tsp vanilla, ½ tsp pumpkin
pie spice, and ½ cup of ice. Delicious
and filling, with 140 calories, 2 gm
fiber, and 8 gm protein per one cup
serving (makes two).
After that, nothing beats stirring
a little homemade pumpkin butter
into some hot oats. I have made mine
sweetened with sugar and have tried
it with stevia for a lighter option. You
only need 1-2 Tbsp per bowl. Stir
it in and breathe in the spicy sweet
aroma.
One other option to check out:
mix in some pumpkin puree (sweet
potatoes actually work well, too)
into whole wheat pancake or waffle
batter. Use your favorite recipe and
add up to ½ cup per batch. So good.
Go ahead, break out of the rut
this fall and incorporate some of
this nutritional powerhouse into your
daily routine. Pumpkin has so much
to offer!

Bill) at an informational meeting
conducted by Iowa State University
Extension and Outreach and local
USDA Farm Service Agency
staff members. Meetings will be
held November 20, in Clarion. 
The
Farm
Bill–Program
Overview meetings will focus on

decisions farmers and landowners
will need to make in the coming
months as they consider all their
options,” said Kelvin Leibold, farm
management specialist with ISU
Extension and Outreach. “We’ll cover
the timeline for when decisions need
to be made, along with information
about our online Farm Bill decision
tools.”
The main topics that will be
covered during the meetings are:
• Base reallocation
• Yield updating
• Price Loss Coverage (PLC)
• Ag Risk Coverage (ARC)
• Implications of PLC and ARC
on participation in the Supplemental
Coverage Option (SCO)
• Dairy Margin Protection Program
(MPP)
• Noninsured
Crop
Disaster
Assistance Program (NAP)

Iowa WWII Airman returns home 70 years later
following discovery of remains in Belgium
Nearly 70 years after completing
his final bombing mission, Staff
Sgt. Maurice L. Fevold is returning
home to Iowa.
Fevold, a 21-year-old Badger/
Eagle Grove, Iowa, native was
assigned to the 5909th Bomber
Squadron, 397th Bomber Group
(Medium), U.S. Army Air Corps.
On Dec. 23, 1944, the first day of
aviation operations for the Battle of
the Bulge, Fevold, along with five
other crew members, took off from
Saint Quentin, France, onboard a
B-26G Marauder bomber aircraft
to attack an enemy-held railroad
bridge in Eller, Germany. Their
aircraft was shot down by enemy
anti-aircraft fire near Seffern,
Germany, which borders Belgium.
A total of 10 U.S. aircraft were
recorded as lost in the vicinity
of Seffern during this specific
mission.
Fevold, the aircraft’s armorergunner, and the entire crew were
officially declared deceased on Dec.
23, 1944, but their remains were
never recovered. In November 2006,
the Joint Prisoner of War/Missing
in Action Accounting Command
- Central Identification laboratory
(JPAC) received information of
a possible aircraft crash site near
Allmuthen, Belgium. In March
2007, a JPAC Investigation Team
surveyed the purported crash site,
where human remains and physical
evidence were recovered in 2012
by JPAC personnel.
In 2014, JPAC’s Research
and Analysis Group concluded
a historical association existed
between the artifacts and human
remains recovered at the Belgium
excavation site and Missing Air
Crew Report #11985 from World
War II. Mitochondrial DNA testing
positively identified the remains as
belonging to Fevold and other crew
members from the missing aircraft.
Maurice Fevold was born Feb.
21, 1923, near Badger, Iowa, to
John and Carrie (Thorson) Fevold.
He grew up in the Badger/Eagle
Grove, Iowa, area and was a 1941
graduate of Eagle Grove High
School.
Fevold enlisted in the U.S. Army
on April 12, 1943, and transferred
into the U.S. Army Air Corps
in June 1943. Fevold attended
armament training at Lowry Field,
Colo., aerial training at Ft. Myers,
Fla., and then B-26 flight training
at Barksdale Field, La. He left the
U.S. for duty in the European theater
in April 1944 and was assigned to
General Election 2014

The Eagle Grove JV football

a 2-5 record. Wins came over

lost to Manson NW Webster 14-8,
Pocahontas Area 38-0, ClarionGoldfield-Dows

“We were looking to do better
this year, with the kids clicking
in all phases of the game against
South Hamilton,” said Rholl. “We
fell behind early in the losses, and
couldn’t catch up. It was a good
season, but not what we had hoped
for. They did get a lot of experience
and I enjoyed coaching them.”

Eagle eighth grade
volleyball concludes
The Eagle Grove eighth grade volleyball team, under the direction of
coach Dan O’Hern, recently completed their season with the coach filing
this report.
They played St. Edmond on October 9, with the A squad winning in
three straight sets and the B squad dropping a 2-1 match. Leading servers
were Natalie Vrba, Hannah Demory and Katelyn Gilbert. “St. Edmond
has some very good athletes and hitters,” said O’Hern.
They finished the season with a match on October 14 against ClarionGoldfield-Dows. The A squad lost a 3-0 match, with the B squad also
dropping a 3-0 match. “It was a disappointing night for us, with passing
and serving errors costing us in all six sets.”
The team did finish with a fine 7-2 season record, which according
to O’Hern tied for eighth-best in school history. Previous team records,
as provided by the coach, are: 1982, 8-0; 1994, 9-0; 1995, 8-1; 1996, 9-0;
1998, 9-0; 1999, 9-0; 2000, 8-1.
It was another tough go for the
Eagle Grove varsity football squad
last Friday night at district-leading
Saint Ansgar, with the home Saints
taking a 63-6 victory.
“A lot of things added up to
work against us in this game,” said
head coach Bruce Dahlhauser. “To
their credit, they were extremely
balanced and were the bigger and
more physical team. Having said
that, I was proud of how we played
offensively and especially in the
first quarter. We did some positive
things against a team as physical as
Emmetsburg. We were not totally
stopped. We moved the ball, and
had our chances in the red zone. I
think after we gave up their first
touchdown it became hard for us.”
The Saints put up 21 points, in
each of the first two periods, for a
42-0 halftime lead. The Eagles best
drive in the half came with 8:49 left
as they took the ball at their own
27-yard line. Following two rushing
plays, Jeremy Weber lofted a nice
28-yard pass completion to Derek
Graham for a fresh set of downs
at the midfield. Two rushing gains,
by Brandon Stuhr and then Weber
himself, brought the ball to the Saints
40 stripe. A six-yard completion to
Julian Calderon brought with it an
off-sides flag on the Saints, giving
the Eagles another first down at
the St. Ansgar 26. They would gain
five more yards before turning the
pigskin over on downs.
With 8:44 left in the game, the
purple and gold took the ball at their
nine. Three rushing plays, as carries
by Stuhr and Weber, brought a first
down at the 21. Following two short
gains, Stuhr busted loose for a 47yard gallop to the Saints 25-yard
line. Following an incompletion,
Weber carried the mail for a 25-yard
touchdown run with 2:50 left in the
game.
“We’ve had a big problem with
giving teams short fields this year,”
said Dahlhauser. “Last Friday, we
did that only once. We’ve gave up
too many big plays, and so wanted to
make them earn it. I think our backs
ran well against a good defensive
team. They were willing to get what
they could.”
The Eagles picked up 174 total
net yards on 52 offensive plays, with
ten first downs and an average gain
of 3.3-yards per play. The Eagles led
in possession time at 26:25, versus
21:35 for the Saints. They converted
three of 13 third-down attempts and

game earlier this year. Against St. Ansgar last Friday, the senior

two of four fourth-down attempts.
Stuhr gained 90 net yards on 21
attempts (4.3 yd. avg.) and Weber 58
yards on 16 carries and a touchdown.
Weber was 4 of 13 in passing for 44
yards with one pick. Graham caught
one ball for 28 yards, Caleb Baker
one pass for 11 and Calderon two
passes for a combined five yards.
John Mendoza kicked twice for
a 35-yard average, and Weber booted
four punts for a 27.8-yard average.
Calderon returned five kicks for 73
total yards, Stuhr two kicks for 16
total yards and Weber one kick for
18 yards.
The final tackle numbers show
Dylan Huse with 11 total including
four solo stops. Jared Beecher made
seven total tackles with three as solo
efforts, while Calderon had six total
with one solo. Lincoln Miller made
four total with three of those as solo
stops. Stuhr had one solo in three
total, with Kent Jorgensen making
three as all tackle assists. Weber had
one solo and one assist, while Evan
Anderson, Saxon Lyman and Tanion
Pohlman all had two tackle assists
each. Baker, Austin Burgwin, Sam
Johnson, Brayden Lyman and Ryan
Smith all chipped in one tackle
assist each.
This week-Central Springs (1-7,
1-4) at Eagle Grove (0-8, 0-5): The
Panthers come off a 28-8 loss to
Mason City Newman. “I’m hoping
we come out still excited to play,”
said Dahlhauser. “We’ve got a shot
to close out the season with a win. If
we’re prepared to go, we’ll be right
there to the end. It has certainly not
been as easy road for these seniors,
but to end the season with a win
would confirm all the hard work
they’ve put into this for four years.
The Panthers are a mirror image of
our team, in that they’ve struggled
to put together any consistency. It
should be a good, competitive game
between two teams that want badly
to end their season with a win, so
we’ll give it our best shot to end on a
positive note.”

Eagles team takes second
at
conference
cross
country
King, Pickering finish in top ten, earn All-NIC
16
By les houser
[email protected]
The Eagle Grove boys cross country team
made a great accounting for themselves at their
first-ever North Iowa Conference cross country
meet last Thursday in Belmond. The purple
and gold not only took second place in the final
team standings, but had two runners earn AllConference honors as well.
“At the beginning of the season, I told the guys
that one of our goals would be to place in the top
four of the conference and I thought throughout
the season that we had a chance of making that
happen,” said head coach Ben Demuth. “I was not
sure about Osage, as we had not seen them due
to the Belmond meet being cancelled. The guys
responded real well by bringing home a runner-up
effort. We knew it would be tough to catch Garner.
But to place ahead of Osage was nice.”
Garner-Hayfield/Ventura captured the title
with 46 points, well ahead of the Eagles with
84 as Osage was close behind them with just 88
points. The rest of the teams finished like this:
Bishop Garrigan 129, North Iowa (Buffalo Center)
142, Forest City 153, Lake Mills 174, Mason City
Newman 202 and Belmond-Klemme 211. North
Union didn’t field a full team. Chase Smith of the
Cardinals crossed the line in 16:41 to take first
individually.
Pacing the Eagles were MacCaulay King in
sixth with a 17:35 and Colton Pickering an 18:04
for tenth, which earned both an All-Conference
honor. The rest of the varsity finishes were: Carter
Asche (19th) in 18:24; Gage Behnkendorf (23rd)
in 18:40; Ben Thompson (26th) in 18:52; Brett
Maier (29th) in 19:10 and Brian Gonzalez (39th)
in 20:12.
“To have those two place top ten was great,
and Carter just missed the top 15 to achieve that
too,” said Demuth. “These guys ran most of the
race in a pack and pushed each other through the
second mile. At that point, it became a shootout
and we have had different guys step up every meet
and that’s the competitive nature of these young
men showing through. I was happy with Gage’s
effort as our fourth counter. He has matured so
much this year as a runner, and its hard to believe
he is just a sophomore. Every day he shows up to
get better and the guys razz him a little bit but he
feeds off it in a good way. Brett and Ben both had
strong finishes passing several individuals on their
way to the finish line. We want them to go after
guys when they are tired, and at the end of a
race, so that was good to see. Brian ran varsity
for us as Dalton was not 100 percent. He ran a
personal best to finish in the top fourty.”
Results for the JV was as follows: Jordan
Ferry (fifth) in 19:56; Braden Cahalan (14th)
in 21:00; Casey Jergens (16th) in 21:06; Austin
Hill (17th) in 21:07; Louis Shriver (32nd) in
22:46; Matt Fransen (36th) in 23:23; Kaden
Helmke (37th) in 23:43; Andrew Ramsey
(39th) in 24:03; Harrison Helgevold (45th) in
25:47 and Brandon Marsh (46th) in 28:42. The
JV team took third out of four full teams.
Results for the middle school runners
were as follows: Jacob Arbaugh (seventh) in
13:13; Alex Wilson (ninth) in 13:28; Chase
Cahalan (36th) in 16:01; Chris Lizama (43rd)
in 16:26 and Jackson Helgevold (55th) in
19:10. The Eagles took fifth out of seven full
teams.
“These results were great as well, as we
had four guys run their season bests in their
last meet,” said the head coach. “Several
others were within a few seconds of theirs as
well. I was pleased with Jordan’s efforts. He
has come on strong for us at the end of the
season, and with a full season of competition
he could develop into one of our top runners
next year. Harrison, Kaden, Austin and Casey
all had personal best’s for the season, and these
guys deserve it with their effort in practice. We
have a large group of underclassmen who have
bought into our philosophy of pushing each
other. They run in practice and meets as a pack
and push each other all the time. It was kind of
bittersweet to end the season with this group,
as they are all a lot of fun to be around and
while I look forward to districts I wish we still
had time to compete with them also. They have
had a great spirit all season long, and they have
all become better runners and young men this
season. I guess that is what I am most happy
about, plus none of them graduate and so I
hope they are all back out next year.”
The team now prepares for the Class 2A
state qualifier on Thursday at Lake Panorama.
“This is a course we know nothing about, but
it positions us to run against teams we have
seen all season,” said Demuth. “We have
placed ahead of most of them, but nothing can
be taken for granted and our guys know that.”
