JOINT PUBLICATION FROM THE EAGLE GROVE EAGLE & WRIGHT COUNTY MONITOR
Land annexed into DD #131
Kacey Ginn, editor
[email protected]
On
Monday,
the
county
supervisors sat as drainage trustees
at an annexation hearing set to
discuss the addition of 70 acres of
land to Drainage District #131. The
annexation was approved, but not
before extensive discussion.
Luke Huggins of McClure
Engineering presented information
about the land surveyed, including
elevation and tiling patterns in
nearby land. Though some tiling
overlaps the annexed land along the
northeast, it has very little effect on
the land’s drainage due to elevation
differences.
“The surface drainage goes to
the district, is what we’ve seen,”
Huggins said.
There is also a pipe that runs
along the south side of the annexed
land that drains directly into
DD#131. Engineers were not able to
determine how far this tile extended
into the acreage because they did not
want to disturb crops.
Dave Johnson, legal advisor to
the trustees, explained that if the
land is benefitting from DD#131’s
drainage system, the land should be
taxed as part of that district. “The
law says if someone hooks into a
district, they will be taxed,” Johnson
said.
The acreage, which is comprised
of three parcels of land owned by
Beyer Family Trust, is located just
north of DD#131. Evidence suggests
that the annexed property may have
been contributing to the deteriorating
condition of DD#131’s main since
the 1970s. Since the county has no
official record of when the pipe was
laid, it is unclear when the annexed
land began to benefit from the
district’s drainage system. However,
Maynard Beyer, the owner of the
annexed property, told the board
that he had a letter from the 1970s
drainage trustees saying that they
would help sort the situation, which
was never followed up on.
“It’s too bad that something
hadn’t been done about it until now,”
Johnson said.
According to drainage clerk Deb
Lukes, little work has been done in
DD#131 in the past, so there are not
many easily accessible records for
drainage projects in the area.
Not all who attended the hearing
wanted the land to be annexed. Gary
Robb, a landowner in DD#131,
told the trustees that water from the
annexed land was filling the tile in
the district too high. He said that
some water from the land drained
to the west, rather than south into
the district, so he suggested that the
pipe draining into DD#131 should
be capped and the water directed
instead to a creek located west of the
annexed property.
Huggins, Johnson, and Lukes
weren’t sure that would be the best
course of action, since most of the
water did seem to drain to the south.
“The district’s still taking in that
water,” Lukes said. Huggins did say
that once the crops were harvested
from the annexed land, engineers
could do a more thorough survey.
Robb was also concerned that
a water intake northwest of the
annexed land was draining into
DD#131 as well. Johnson pointed
out that if that turns out to be the
case, the board would have to have
a separate discussion of the issue.
“The legal consequence… is that
if there is an intake there, and it is
going south into that area, then that
would have to be annexed, too,”
Johnson said.
Trustee Stan Watne thought the
best course of action would be to
annex the land so that its taxes could
help with the district’s improvement
costs, then to later hold a hearing
about reclassification for the district.
“I feel like everyone could walk
out of here saying that’s fair,” Watne
said.
Since the motion to annex the
land was carried, the next steps are
to repair the DD#131 main, more
thoroughly examine the acreage’s
drainage system once crops are
harvested this fall, then begin
reclassifying the land. Lukes told
the supervisors that a notice will be
published about the reclassification
hearing.
The board also held a hearing
to approve the master matrix for a
new hog confinement site located in
section 12 of Norway Township. The
matrix score indicates the suitability
of the site for the proposed project.
Sandy McGrath, Wright County
Sanitarian, reported that the matrix
score of the site was 455, higher than
the minimum requirement of 440.
This score was confirmed by the
Department of National Resources,
and the site was approved for the
construction of two single-wide
hog confinement buildings with pit
storage.
Backpack program beginning third year of helping families
Kacey Ginn, Editor
[email protected]
Children get nutritious
meals at school, but what about the
weekends, when families struggling
with money won’t have the
National School Lunch Program for
assistance? The Backpack Program,
a food relief program for families
of schoolchildren in the district, is
gearing up for its third year.
“The idea is that we will
provide some supplemental food for
families who are struggling for the
weekend,” said Pastor Bill Kem,
one of the chief organizers of the
program.
In its first year, the
Backpack Program provided extra
food weekly for five families. Last
year, it provided for 11 families,
around 50 people. This year, the
program may be able to help up to
15 families, though numbers are still
being finalized.
Families
are
chosen
based on need. Those participating
receive a bag filled with food on
Friday afternoons. “Students of the
families that know are getting them
stop by the guidance office at the
end of the school day,” explained
Trisha Rosendahl, principal at the
elementary school.
The children who have
been part of the Backpack
Program qualify for
free and reducedprice
meals
from
the National School
Lunch Program. To
qualify for reduced
meals, students’ families
must be at or below 130
percent of the poverty
level, which in 2014
was an income of
$30,615
for
a family of
four.
For
reducedprice
meals,
families must have
an income between
130 percent and 185
percent. In the ClarionGoldfield-Dows district,
around
40
percent
of
schoolchildren’s
families fit one of those
categories, according to
Rosendahl.
“We’re not even always
sure that our families have a
stove, microwave, running water,
refrigerator. All that affects what we
can send home,” Pastor Kem said.
Each bag is filled with
as have all of the churches. The
packs are filled at the United Church
of Christ, then brought to the school.
Only a few people involved in the
program know which families are
being helped.
Though the goal of the
program is to help struggling
families, the school has noticed
some other effects. About 8/10 of the
families who participated showed
some positive result—improved
grades, participation, or attendance
for the children, and some improved
communication with the families.
“These outcomes aren’t
surprising, but they weren’t our
original goal,” Kem said. “It’s made
a difference.”
Those wishing to donate to
the backpack program can do so at
the First Citizens National Bank in
Clarion or at any of the churches in
town. Food can also be donated, but
some items don’t fit the program’s
requirements, so consider carefully.
Kem said he finds it
amazing how great the need is even
in a town like Clarion. He is grateful
for how involved the community has
been. “It certainly is something that
speaks to people’s hearts,” he said.
First days of school
Though high school students began school on Monday, August 24,
the elementary and middle school students’ first day was August 25.
Principal Trisha Rosendahl, along with other elementary school staff,
greeted students by name and gave high fives to returning students as
they arrived.
Some parents took pictures of their kids by the elementary school sign
on the first day.

about $15-20 worth of food, most of
it lightweight and nonperishable.
Items included might be fruit and
grain bars, beans and rice, healthy
snack crackers, and peanut butter
and jelly in plastic jars.
“We try to make it as
healthy as we can, but
we can’t make it
heavy,” Kem said.
“Only
certain
items
will
work in the
backpack.”
School
children
have to
be able
to carry
the
bags
easily, so
heavy and
breakable glass
jars aren’t an
option. Fresh fruit
is also not a good
choice, since it can easily be bruised
or damaged.
According
to
Kem,
several of Clarion’s businesses
and organizations, particularly the
Rotary Club, have donated or been
involved in the program somehow,

Clarion Ambassadors serve pizza to teachers
On August 20, the Clarion Chamber & Development Ambassador
Committee teamed up once again with Pizza Ranch to serve pizza to the
Clarion-Goldfield-Dows district’s teachers and their families. People
came and went between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. This year, Pizza Ranch
donated 54 large pizzas, plus apples, to serve everyone.
Pizza Ranch pizza boxes have “wagon wheels,” or corner tags that can
be torn off, that are worth a 15 cent donation to the school. This means
that in addition to donating pizza, the Pizza Ranch also donated the
money from the wagon wheels.

Clarion Locker
has best brats in Iowa
Kacey Ginn, editor
[email protected]
Manie and Elmarie Nel, owners
of the Clarion Locker, were awarded
first place in the State Fair’s Best
of the Wurst competition for their
uncooked bratwurst. They also
received the Reserve Champion
award for their smoked and cured
ham from the Iowa Meat Processors
Association.
“We know we have good brats,
because they’re our number one
seller,” Elmarie said. The Nels make
four flavors of bratwurst: regular,
blue cheese, cheddar, and jalapeño
cheddar. Brats entered in the Best
of the Wurst competition are judged
on texture, external appearance, and
internal appearance.
This isn’t the first year the Nels
have placed at the fair. Last year,
they took second place for their
jalapeño cheddar brats. In 2010, one
year after they moved to Clarion,
they took first place for regular brats.
However, they are most excited
about the award for their ham, which
was ranked fourth out of the 62
judged hams.
“The ham for us is a bigger
award, because it’s a more intense
competition,” Elmarie said. “This
is one of their biggest competitions
in their history
of shows since
1981.”
T h e y
had
entered
their ham into
the Cured Meat
Products Show
before, but never
placed.
“We
just made minor
changes,” Manie
said of their ham
curing recipe.
H a m s
are
scored
out of 1000
points
based
on appearance,
including
workmanship
and
meat
qualities
such
as fat to lean
ratio and color,
smell, texture,
and taste. The
highest ranking
ham
received
909
points.
The Nel’s ham
earned
894
points, only one
point behind the
third-place ham. The award also
came with a $150 prize.
The Nels formerly owned a meat
locker in Ventura for three years, but
moved to Clarion in 2009 so they
could have a bigger facility with
more room to smoke and cure meats.
They’ve been busy with their own
customers and also overflow from
the Rutland Locker, which burned
down in February. Their recent
awards reflect the work they put into
their products—which are officially
some of the best in the state of Iowa.
On Saturday, August 22, the C-G-D Sports Boosters held a car wash to raise funds at Clarion Auto Center
(formerly Fred Hoiberg’s Clarion Auto Center). The car wash raised almost $400 in donations, which was
matched by the Clarion Auto Center. Everyone who helped make the car wash a success gathered for a group
photo, including the boosters, student volunteers, and the auto center team.
Sports boosters car wash
About 15 high school students came at different times to help with the event, including cheerleaders and members from the football, basketball, and
wrestling teams. This is the third car wash the sports boosters have held in cooperation with the Clarion Auto Center.

Saturdays from April through
September were always busy on
Bearden’s Corner. That’s when the
Farmers Market came to Lennox
Valley and, with no malls or fancy
shopping centers to speak of, the
Farmers Market was the place to see
and be seen.
You could count on the usual
vendors each week. There were
local farmers selling corn, tomatoes
and potatoes from the back of their
trucks, housewives who spent their
weeks preparing candles and other
assorted crafts for the good folks
of town, and, almost always, two or
three community organizations who
set up tables under tents bearing
the name of Massengale Funeral
Home, located 17 miles to the west
in Springfield.
Lennox Valley wasn’t big enough
for its own funeral home, so the
Massengale family was more than
happy for folks to see its name
emblazoned on tents bearing
displays by the Ruritan Club, the
VFW and the Lennox Valley Auburn
Hat Society, just to name a few.
However, these weren’t getting the
usual attention on this Saturday in
early May.
You see, like many big events,
there was some planning and
structure that went along with the
weekly Farmers Market. Vendors and
community organizations submitted
requests and were assigned spaces
by Vera Pinrod, who not only served
as president of the Lennox Valley
Auburn Hat Society, but also served
as secretary of the Spring County
Chamber of Commerce.
There weren’t many avenues
to gain power in a small town like
Lennox Valley and, as both president
of the Auburn Hat Society and
secretary of the Chamber, Vera was
probably the most powerful woman
in town. That was soon to change,
but more about that later.
On this particular Saturday, there
was more excitement than usual
at the market. It seems there was
a new tent lined up at the far end,
past all the usual vendors and, as
Vera Pinrod skillfully noted, no one
had reserved that spot. Even more,
the tent didn’t bear the Massengale
nameplate. Something was amiss
and Vera was about to get to the
bottom of the growing commotion.
At first, Vera was chagrined as she
saw Marvin Walsh sitting underneath
the tent behind a folding table,
wearing the denim bib overalls he
purchased at a second-hand clothing
store in Springfield just two weeks
earlier. She was about to tell Marvin
to pack up his stuff and come back
another Saturday, when she saw the
hand-lettered sign taped to the front
of Marvin’s table:
“Save our eggs! Stop the Federal
Reserve System”.
Raymond Cooper, owner of the
Valley’s only radio station and host
of “Renderings with Raymond”
every weekday from noon till three,
grinned as he saw the would-be
confrontation. He held back for
a moment, then was pleasantly
surprised as he heard Vera tell
Marvin, “It’s good to have such fine,
civic-minded individuals taking a
stand for Lennox Valley.”
And that was that.
A half block east, toward the red
light, Elbert Lee Jones was selling
eggs out of the back of his truck.
Raymond Cooper slyly grinned
again as he noted the price of eggs
was up a nickle over the previous
Saturday.
This was going to be a good week
for “Renderings with Raymond.”
Kevin Slimp visits hundreds of
small towns each year in his role as
“The News Guru” in the publishing
world and in his travels for “Ken
and Kevin’s Road Trip,” a blog
(kenandkevinroadtrip.com)
that
follows the travels of Kevin and his
friend, Ken, through the back roads
of North America.
For 20 years, his syndicated
columns related to publishing have
been found in journals and industry
publications on four continents.
Kevin says his inspiration for
writing “The Good Folks of Lennox
Valley” was to follow in the footsteps
of his favorite childhood columnist,
Lewis Grizzard, whose stories about
his Georgia hometown were found in
hundreds of newspapers each week.
In his lifetime, Kevin has been
a minister, a technology guru, a
consultant, a popular speaker and a
writer. He says the people he’s met
throughout the years make up the
characters you will meet in Lennox
Valley.

September will be a very special
month in the sky for (as the press will
surely mention) it is the month when
we will have a Bloody Harvest Super
Moon. On the evening of September
27, the full Moon will be eclipsed
as it passes directly through Earth’s
shadow. Although most of the Sun’s
light will be blocked by the Earth, the
Moon will look reddish because it will
be lit by sunlight that passes though
and is filtered by Earth atmosphere. In
recent years this has become known
as a Blood Moon. However, what
makes this lunar eclipse special is that
it will occur in the evening, and that
hasn’t happened for a long time.
This eclipse will also take place
during a Super Moon that occurs
when the Moon is closest to Earth.
Although the Earth-Moon distance
only varies by about 30,000 miles,
this full Moon will occur only a few
minutes after the Moon passes this
closest point, so it will appear slightly
larger and brighter. Finally, this
full Moon is called a Harvest Moon
because in olden days the full Moon
during the harvest season would give
farmers enough light so they could
continue working into the night.
There will also be another special
event involving the Moon during
September. At about midnight
of September 4/5, the Moon will
cover the bright star Aldebaran in
the constellation Taurus (the Bull).
Unfortunately, most of us will miss
the main event and what you will be
able to see will depend on where you
located. Only observers northeast of a
line from New Jersey to Toronto will
Moon Phase
Nancy’s Notes
Well I’m finally back on the
job after a week’s vacation, which
means it’s time to get busy and catch
up. During my time off we took a
quick trip to Waterloo and I took the
audio book, “The Julian Chapter”,
with me. It is based on a character
from the book, “Wonder,” which has
been read by two of our book clubs.
Even though it is a fictional story for
our junior readers, the book is about
bullies and is relevant for readers of
all ages. In Julian’s story the former
bully tells us why he treated Auggie
as he did and why his Grandmother
was able to finally make him feel
remorse for his actions.
Pet lovers and those who like
a good biography should enjoy,
“A Dog’s Gift,” by Bob Drury. He
tells the story of former military
counterintelligence officer Terry
Henry. Fourteen years ago he joined
his young daughter, Kyria, on a
trip to a nursing home in order to
allow its residents to play with
their family dog, a golden retriever
named Riley. Terry was astounded
by the transformations that unfolded
before his eyes. Soon after, Terry
and Kyria started their service dog
organization, paws4people, with
the goal of pairing dogs with human
beings in need of healing, including
traumatized and wounded war
veterans and children living with
physical, emotional, and intellectual
disabilities.
Jonathan Safran Foer’s first novel
is entitled “Among Ten Thousand
Things,” It centers around Jack
In The Sky During September1
Shanley who is a well-known New
York artist, charming and vain, who
doesn’t mean to plunge his family
into crisis. His wife, Deb, left a
difficult career as a dancer to raise
their two children. In the later years
of their marriage she has mostly
avoided coming face-to-face with
the weaknesses of the man she
married. But then an anonymously
sent package arrives in the mail: a
cardboard box containing sheaves
of printed emails chronicling Jack’s
secret life. The package is addressed
to Deb, but it’s delivered into the
wrong hands, her children’s.
Peter Nichols,’ “The Rocks,” is
centered around a popular seaside
resort club and its community on the
Mediterranean Sea. It opens with a
confrontation and a secret: What
was the mysterious, horrible event
that drove two honeymooners apart
suddenly and forever in 1948? They
never spoke again despite living
on the same island for sixty more
years. How did their history shape
the Romeo and Juliet–like romance
of their unrelated children decades
later? The novel is a double love
story that begins with a mystery,
then moves backward in time, era by
era, to expose what really happened
decades earlier.

see the whole show. They will see the
bright side of the Moon slowly move
over Aldebaran and then see the star
suddenly reappear along the dark
side of the Moon about 40 minutes
later. People observing northeast of
a line from about Tampa, Florida, to
Wisconsin will only see the dramatic
reappearance of Aldebaran. For
everyone west of this line, Aldebaran
will have emerged from behind the
Moon before it rises, but all is not
lost. Aldebaran will be spectacularly
close to the Moon in the Midwest and
a little farther away in the West. The
Moon will move noticeably farther
from Aldebaran during the night.
Two planets will be in the evening
sky during September. Saturn
will be shining brightly low in the
southwestern sky, but Mercury will
be harder to find. It will be very low
in the west-southwest during the first
half of the month. Binoculars and a
clear horizon will be needed to see it.
Meanwhile Venus will be brilliant in
the predawn sky. Much dimmer Mars
will be to its lower left. Late in the
month they will be joined by bright
Jupiter that will emerge from the
bright light of the Sun to the lower left
of Mars.
Highlights:
Sep 4 - Mercury will be at
its highest in the western sky for
its current evening appearance.
Binoculars may be needed.
Sep 4/5 - For most of North
America, Aldebaran, the bright eye of
Taurus (the Bull) will be very close to
the dark (western) side of the moon as
they rise just before midnight. Only

Clarion Ministerial Association
holding presentation on Human Trafficking
Did you know that there are
more slaves in the world today than
ever before in history? With that
sobering fact in mind, the Clarion
Ministerial Association would like
to invite you to a presentation on
human trafficking.
The
Clarion
Ministerial
Association invites the public to
attend an informative presentation
on human trafficking in Iowa. The
presentation will be held on Tuesday,
Sept. 8, at 7 p.m., at the Clarion
United Presbyterian Church, located
at 219 1st St NW.
Each year since 2005, Human
Trafficking cases have been
investigated and prosecuted in
Iowa. There are hundreds of
missing person reports filed with the
Iowa Department of Public Safety
for Iowa minors (persons under 18
years old) each year. The national average age of entry
into Commercial Sex Trafficking
(CST) is 11-14 years of age. In the
first 72 hours of being “on the street”
1 in 3 minors will be approached
for commercial sex, of those 75%
are highly likely or will become
involved in CST. Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller
created the Human Trafficking
Enforcement
and
Prosecution
Initiative (HTEPI) to create a
coordinated and sustained criminal
justice and enforcement response
to the threat of human trafficking. The HTEPI is focused on three
main
missions;
enforcement,
victim services and sustainment of
community awareness. Its
membership
includes
government, private, medical, mental
health, education, non-profit, service
and community organizations at the
federal, state and local levels across
Iowa. Come and learn first-hand
what the problem looks like in Iowa
and find out what you can do about
it.
The presenter for the program
will be Michael Ferjak, a Senior
Criminal Investigator with the Iowa
Department of Justice – Office of
the Attorney General. Ferjak is the
Director of the Iowa Department
of Justice Human Trafficking
Enforcement
and
Prosecution
Initiative.

Coin Club Sponsors Four Shows
A Year At Clarion and Mason City
The Clarion Coin Club, one of
the oldest and most active collector
groups in Iowa, sponsors four coin
shows each year. For years, they
have organized both a fall show and
a spring show at the high school in
Clarion. In recent years, they have
also organized both a fall and a
spring North Iowa coin show at the
Willowbrook Mall in Mason City.
Neither Mason City or Clear Lake
have a coin club to sponsor such
events there.
Saturday, Sept. 12, is the date
selected for the next Clarion Coin
Show. The free, all-day, public event
will be promoted in the Wright
County Monitor, two dozen MidAmerica Publishing newspapers
and other newspapers and shoppers.
The Clarion Coin Show will also
be promoted coast to coast in the
two national coin collecting weekly
newspapers. Eighteen dealers from
all over Iowa and from Southern
Minnesota are expected. There will
be three dozen tables of U. S. coins,
Canadian coins, foreign coins, gold
and silver, currency, tokens, stamps,
sports cards, supplies and other
collectibles. Dealers will buy, sell
and trade. Veteran and beginning
collectors are welcome.
At their August meeting, the
Clarion Coin Club will finalize plans
for the fall show. That meeting will
be at the Pizza Ranch in Clarion on
Thursday, August 27. Items for the
monthly 80 lot auction will go on
display at 6:00 p.m. with the business
meeting and auction to start around
7:00. Up to 40 members attend each
monthly meeting. Guests are always
welcome. Call Boyd LaRue, club
president, for more information at
515-460-5681.

Donors Help
Local Hospital
Patients
What’s the first group of people
that comes to mind when you think of
blood transfusions? Trauma victims?
Those patients’ lives are certainly
saved with donated blood, but the bulk
of blood transfusions go to people
battling cancer!
LifeServe Blood Center is
proud to be the blood provider for
local hospitals. Each pint of blood
generously given with LifeServe
Blood Center stays right here in Iowa
and is eventually received by a local
hospital patient in their critical time of
need!
Besides giving a life-saving gift,
for a limited time, as part of our “What
Color Do You Bleed?” promotion,
generous blood donors can earn a
commemorative koozie in their choice
of school colors for only 200 points.
Redeem your points on the LifeServe
Online Store to participate and show
your school spirit!

1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
Build a charcoal fire with Kingsford charcoal for indirect cooking by situating coals on only one side of grill, leaving other side void.
Cover entire brisket with beef bouillon base. In small bowl, mix dry rub ingredients and coat brisket with rub. When cooker reaches 225°F, place brisket
on void side of grill and close lid. Cook for 4 hours, until internal temperature
reaches 160-170°F.
Remove brisket from grill and place in shallow baking dish or disposable
aluminum pan. Pour beef broth over brisket and cover pan with aluminum
foil. Place baking dish in cooker for an additional 1-2 hours, until internal
temperature reaches 185°F.
Remove baking dish from grill and let meat rest undisturbed for 20-30 minutes. Slice brisket across grain and serve.
FAMILY FEATURES
A
lthough brisket is generally regarded as a cool
weather dish, you may be surprised how this ultimate comfort food works in delicious recipes that
help you hang on to the fading days of summer.
A traditional Barbecued Beef Brisket prepared low and
slow over a charcoal grill is sure to be a crowd pleaser for a
backyard tailgate or a casual gathering with friends. Leftovers can help warm up a cool morning with a decadent
serving of Barbecue Benedict, and you can look forward
to a Grilled Greek Salad Pita with Beef Brisket for a tasty
midday meal.
As any grill master knows, achieving grilling greatness
begins with a charcoal fire. These recipes, created by world
champion pitmaster Chris Lilly, showcase how Kingsford®
Charcoal can help you achieve an authentic smoky flavor
that will delight the taste buds of your family and friends.
Each briquet contains natural ingredients and real wood
for a delicious cookout every time.

k might
be connected to Okland’s slaying.
But Kock said Arron Michael Lewis, 33,
of Jacksonville, Ark., is no longer considered
a possible
suspect. He is accused of setting up an
appointment with the Arkansas Realtor to view
a vacant
house in a rural area, and then killin
g her and
leaving her body in a shallow grave.
In May 2014, Ashley Okland Star Play

a specialized park for handicapped
children,
opened in her name.
West Des Moines police say they are no
closer
today to solving the mysterious slaying
of Ashley Okland, a 27-year-old real estate agen
t whose
shooting death four years ago in a mod
el townhouse made national news.
Police Sgt. Brent Kock said the case
is still
considered an “active investigation,”
and the department continues to follow up on leads from citizens and the
anonymous crime tip line.
But police have received few leads
since The Des Moines Register reported in April 2014 that detectives
had followed up on 781 leads and
interviewed about 400 people in the
slaying.
“I’m disappointed that nothing
has happened,” said Tim Okland,
Ashley’s father. “It would be nice to
have some closure and know why it
happened.”
Okland was an employee of Iowa
Realty Co. and grew up in Huxley.
Those who knew her said she had
no enemies and was known for
her radiant smile and outgoing
nature.

This week’s issue of the paper
contains our annual Fall Sports
Preview, and contains stories and
photos of all your favorite teams and
student-athletes from both schools
as they prepare for another year of
action on the gridiron, court and
courses. Also included in the tab are
rosters, schedules and cheerleaders
for each school. We could not present
this to you, our readers, without the
many sponsors that make it possible.
Take notice of those ads and be sure
to thank them for their support of
school athletics when you get the
chance.
Planning for this preview issue,
as with all of the three other sports
tabs we publish every year, starts
weeks in advance with scheduling
of interviews with coaches and
obtaining the information we need.
Of course, the ad sales are going on
also and that becomes the foundation
for how much room we have in filling
the pages. I have several people to
thank, and it most certainly begins
with the fall coaches at both schools.
Thanks to them for allowing us to get
what we need so early in the season,
because sometimes it takes them a
bit to have their final roster set as
an example. We really do appreciate
their cooperation in allowing us
to take the photos we need, as we
can’t always coordinate this with
Lifetouch to do it at the same time,
which would be preferable. Thanks
to Frankie Aliu for the ad sales, and
to Laura Dicke for her fine work on
the design and layout of the tab. We
hope you enjoy it.
I recently attended my high
school class reunion, and this one
was after missing a few in between
the last one I went to. After being
there just a short time, I realized
I should have returned to see my
classmates a few years sooner. It was
almost like we had never been apart
in reliving memories of our high
school days, along with catching up
on what has happened in our lives
since. I bring this up only to remind
the current seniors that you need to
cherish every moment you have with
the friends you make in your class,
or for that matter all your classmates.
In some cases, you may never see
them again. We’ve lost five members

of my class over the 40 years. As I
realize again now, they can be the
best friends you’ll ever have and for
life.

Back to School Food Safety
Tips for Parents and Caregivers
Back to school, back to the
books, back shuttling students to and
from extracurricular activities. The
new school year likely means back
to packing lunches and afterschool
snacks for students, scouts, athletes,
dancers, and all the other children
who carry these items to and from
home. One ‘back’ you do not want to
reacquaint children with, however,
is foodborne bacteria.
Bacteria that cause foodborne
illness, commonly known as
food poisoning, grow rapidly
at temperatures between 40
and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. In
this temperature range, these
microorganisms can multiply to
dangerous levels in just two hours,
increasing the risk of foodborne
illness. To make sure lunches and
snacks are safe for those for whom
you pack, you should follow the
USDA’s four steps to food safety:
Clean, Separate, Cook, and Chill.
Packing Tips
If the lunch/snack contains
perishable food items like luncheon
meats, eggs, cheese, or yogurt,
make sure to pack it with at least
two cold sources. Harmful bacteria
multiply rapidly, so perishable food
transported without an ice source
will not stay safe long.
Frozen juice boxes or water can
also be used as freezer packs. Freeze
these items overnight and use with
at least one other freezer pack. By
lunchtime, the liquid should be
thawed and ready to drink.
Pack
lunches
containing
perishable food in an insulated
lunchbox or soft-sided lunch bag.
Perishable food can be unsafe to eat
by lunchtime if packed in a paper
bag.
If packing a hot lunch, like
soup, chili or stew, use an insulated
container to keep it hot. Fill the
container with boiling water, let
stand for a few minutes, empty,
and then put in the piping hot food.
Tell children to keep the insulated
container closed until lunchtime to
keep the food hot at 140 °F or above.
If packing a child’s lunch the
night before, parents should leave
it in the refrigerator overnight. The
meal will stay cold longer because
everything will be refrigerator
temperature when it is placed in the
lunchbox.
If you’re responsible for packing
snacks for the team, troop, or group,
keep perishable foods in a cooler
with ice or cold packs until snack
time. Pack snacks in individual bags
or containers, rather than having
children share food from one serving
dish.
Storage Tips
If possible, a child’s lunch should
be stored in a refrigerator or cooler
with ice upon arrival. Leave the lid
of the lunchbox or bag open in the
fridge so that cold air can better
circulate and keep the food cold.
Eating and Disposal Tips
Pack disposable wipes for
washing hands before and after
eating.
After lunch, discard all leftover
food, used food packaging, and
paper bags. Do not reuse packaging
because it could contaminate other
food and cause foodborne illness.
Consumers can learn more
about key food safety practices
at Foodsafety.gov, by ‘following’
@USDAFoodSafety on Twitter,
and by ‘liking’ Facebook.com/
FoodSafety.gov. Consumers with
questions about food safety, can call
the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline
at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-6746854) or chat live with a food safety
specialist at AskKaren.gov, available
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Time,
Monday through Friday, in English
or Spanish.
If you have questions about
storage times of food or beverages,
download USDA’s new FoodKeeper
application for Android and iOS
devices.

It almost felt like fall today. The
wind was very cool and blustery
The family and friends of Virginia
Hackbarth White held a committal
service for her today at the Morgan
Cemetery. She was Virginia was
Floyd Hackbarth’s daughter and
lived in CO. Nancy is the only child
left and wasn’t able to be here due to
ill health.
My great grandsons came early
this morning as mom had to go to
work. They went to church with
Grandma Marlea and me and then to
Dudleys for lunch. It was a busy day
for this old grandma. They really are
a joy, but they have so much energy
and I run out of steam pretty fast. Emmett and Justin like “Noma” and
Emmett sat with her today.
Delores Blackford brought me
some big cucumbers for lime pickles
and I have been messing with them
for several days. I forget to take a
list to town and I have made three
trips to town to get things I have
forgotten. I am ready to cook and
pack them tomorrow. On my trips to town, I had a
chance to look at the wonderful
flower barrels on main street. They
have bloomed forever and the dark
color of petunia is very elegant. I
have seen them before, but always
forgot to mention it. My next project is to stop and take
a good look at our Freedom Rock.
Thursday evening, Norma and I
went to Ackley for our grief class

and visited a bit. Before we left

town, we visited their Freedom
Rock. It is a huge one and very
well done. They have landscaped
it well and you feel very emotional
when you are close to it. So I look
forward to spending a little time at
ours. Each one is unique and the flag
looks like you could pick it up and
fold it. What a fine addition to our
landscape on main street.
Well, school starts this week. Happy days kids and teachers. Both
my little boys will be in school
this year. Justin in first grade and
Emmett in pre-school. Time is a fast
moving thing now days.
Our area has had some losses
again this week. Linda Urich,
mother of Lance; Bess Ritter, mother
of Jim and Bob and their sister,
whose name I can’t remember. I
am so sorry as she was in Till’s
class. Diane Bennett from Latimer,
who was a very active community
member. I knew Linda from Eagle
Grove and Bess was a sweet lady
who raised a nice family. I didn’t
know Diane well, but heard so many
nice things about her. These ladies
were all mothers and I think it is
hard to lose anyone, but your mom
is special. No offense, dads. I send
my sincere thoughts and prayers to
all of you. Remember they have just
gotten a wonderful new life. How
amazing.
I think I will steal some sweet
corn this week. I only need a couple
of ears. Maybe I should just buy
some. Not nearly as much fun. Till
next time. MK

flea market of the season
Special license plate exhibit at Museum
On Saturday, August 22, the Clarion Chamber of Development
sponsored the first of two craft and flea markets to be held this fall. Eight
vendors, including crafting businesses, Blowin’ Smoke’s barbecue, and
a vegetable stand assembled on the courthouse lawn from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m.
MJ’s Ice at Lake Cornelia
MJ Nel, 5 years old, is already saving for college with his own ice business.
The Nels realized it would be convenient to have ice at the lake, and have
found that homeowners in the area agree. They’ve already bought an
improved ice machine, which MJ helps his father load with 20-pound
bags of ice. “Some cut lawns,” Manie said. “It gives him something to do.
It starts teaching him responsibility.” The ice machine is located near the
boat ramp on the west side of Lake Cornelia.
