If you paid to have your child
(children) eat school lunch in the
Eagle Grove School District between
January of 2000 and August of 2014,
you are entitled to a refund.
Iowa Educators Corporation,
The Iowa Association for Educational
Purchasing, and Martin Brothers
Distributing Company, Inc. recently
settled a class-action lawsuit filed
against them for “conspiring to
restrain competition in the market
for the retail sale of food at schools
in Iowa,” according to Iowa School
Food Settlement documents.
What this means is that parents
or guardians who paid for school
lunches are entitled to $3.50 per
student per year of school, up to $50
per student.
“The
Iowa
Educators
Corporation is designed to save
schools money and take care of
the bidding process for us,” said
Eagle Grove Area School District
Superintendent Jess Toliver. “Many
items and services are bid through
the process, one of which is food
service. Almost all public schools
use this Corporation. Any settlement
will be between the Corporation,
Martin Brothers and the parents.”
The defendants deny any wrongdoing, but reached a settlement “to
avoid the costs and delays associated
with litigation.”
For a complete list of schools
eligible for the refund, or for
instructions how to file a claim, visit

com. All claims must be filed by
September 30, 2014. Claims may be
made via mail, fax, or electronically.
Mickey Cooper and her husband,
Tom, opened Eagle Pharmacy in

be celebrating with an Open House

When Mickey (Emmerson)
Cooper graduated from Wilton
High School in eastern Iowa, she
knew she wanted to do something
in the medical field, but she wasn’t
sure what. It wasn’t until her Iowa
Central Community College teacher
(who she didn’t even have for a class)
approached her about becoming a
pharmacist that she gave it a second
thought. In fact, she had never been
in a pharmacy in her life. This
teacher had noticed her in the lab
a lot, and thought maybe it would
be a good fit for her. He was right,
and next week, she and her husband,
Tom, are celebrating their 30th
year of owning Eagle Pharmacy in
Eagle Grove, and Mickey being a
pharmacist for 35 years.
After
graduating
from
pharmaceutical school at the
University of Iowa, Cooper settled
in Eagle Grove. After a few years of
driving out-of-town to work, and the
fact that she now had a two-year-old

Rotary Auxiliary - 50 Years of
serving Eagle Grove’s elderly
by Kim dEmORy
[email protected]
It was Novermber, 1964 - five Eagle Grove women
recognized a need for an Auxiliary to serve the residents
of Rotary Ann, so they got together to do something
about it. Cornelia Allbaugh, Cathlene Blue, Dorothy
Duer, Anne Schaeferle, and Roberta Harding-Scheetz
called all their friends, and thus was the birth of a new
service group intended to “promote friendly relations
between the community and the residents of the home.”
The 19 members of that first group each paid $2.00
dues to support various projects throughout the year.
Their first official program was a Christmas party they
held for the residents. And what’s Christmas without a
gift to unwrap? They made sure each resident got one,
purchased with money from their dues.
Today, 50 years later, there are 65 women of all ages
and professions from the Eagle Grove area who keep
Rotary Auxiliary going strong. Currently serving as
president is Blanche Bosteder. She is proud to say that
in addition to Christmas and birthday parties (cake and
coffee for all, and flowers for birthday boys and girls of
the month), there are also a number of other activities
they assist in at Rotary Senior Living. They have played

Family releases statement
following verdict of trial
By AMANDA BuENTING
There are times when words
seem too thin to express our thoughts
and feelings, but I will try.
Jamie Buenting dedicated his
life to love and to justice. He died
in cause of that effort. A great life
ended too soon, a great example of
a hero who pinned on a badge each
day to protect and serve the public.
His badge is in the shape of a
shield, considering officers wear it to
try to shield us, the word is fitting. If
only it were a shield for him.
Jamie’s family and community
are left in the aftermath of grief, of
a love and respect so great: suddenly
gone. He was a loving son, devoted
husband, baby brother, wonderful
father and true friend. We are
determined to see the scales of
justice balance, that Jamie’s life not
be forgotten.
I want to personally thank each
and every officer that puts on that
badge to protect and serve, really
knowing what that sacrifice means.
We ask for continued support
through these difficult times so as a
family and community we can find
justice and begin to heal.
The community has been
amazing and has truly come together
in a time of need. We deeply
appreciate your sympathy. I hope
each and every one of you takes the
time to love all you hold dear, for
tomorrow may not be.
County takes control of
drainage project in DD #111
By jACOB SNyDER
[email protected]
The Wright County Board of
Supervisors have taken charge of
an upcoming drainage project in
Drainage District #111. The Wright
County Board of Supervisors made
the request to the Franklin County
Board of Supervisors during a
conference call at their meeting
Monday
morning.
Previously,
Franklin County had “control” of
the project.
But Deb Lukes, the county
drainage clerk, said Lateral 5 is
totally in Wright County
“So, I am going to request that
the Board (in Franklin County)
direct Wright County to take control
of this project,” Lukes told the
Franklin Supervisors.
The main work being done on
this tile is enlarging and extending
it. They voted unanimously to turn it
over to Wright County.
Once completed, there will be a
reclassification so Lateral 5 will no
longer be considered a joint district
with Franklin County, she added.
Lukes also said Franklin County
residents will not have to help pay
for the project in any way. Instead,
the people in the area of this lateral
improvement will be assessed to pay
for it.
The Board then appointed
Keith Hubbard, from McClure
Engineering, to be the contractor for
the project.
But first, as per standard
procedure, Hubbard will do an
investigation of the area and report
his findings back to the Board.
In other news, the Supervisors
received two quotes for the project
of re-roofing the courthouse.
The Board tabled the accepting
of a bid and appointing of a
contractor until next week though.
They are awaiting a few more bids
and to consult with their insurance
company, where they are receiving
funds to help pay for it, to iron out
a few more of the details before
moving forward.
Board
Chairman
Rick
Rasmussen said his hope is to have
the project completed this fall.
The Supervisors also approved
the filing of a Levy Authority
Summary for the TIF Urban Renewal
Area.
Finally, the approved the
minutes from last meeting and
claims for payment.
Another scam hits EG
By kIM DEMORy
[email protected]
Everyone could use a little free money these days. Who wouldn’t
want to win some cold hard cash from something like Publishers
Clearing House? That’s what makes this new scam all too attractive to
unsuspecting victims.
Lisa Knigge, director of the Eagle Grove Chamber of Commerce,
is warning residents to be on guard. Reports have come in, and in fact,
she received the call herself, that someone is calling and claiming to be
with Publishers Clearing House, and telling you you’ve won more than
a million dollars.
“(I received a call) claiming they were from Publishers Clearing
House telling me I had won $1.5 million and all I had to do was get a
gift card for 1 percent of $1.5 million and give them the numbers. (FYI,
the guy told me 1 percent of $1.5 million dollars was $884.94.),” Knigge
said.
That’s when she really knew it was a scam, because one percent of
$1.5 million is $15,000.
Just remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Scammers and hackers are getting more convincing every day. Always
have your guard up unless you know it is a local, trusted organization.
Another thing, Publishers Clearing House never calls you to tell you
you’ve won a big prize - they show up at your door with a TV crew.
Remember, cautious is always the best policy. Never give out any
of your personal information, like bank account or credit card numbers.
Don’t tell people your passwords. If you think it might be legitimate, ask
for a number to call them back at, then check out their credibility, and
then still use extra caution. It goes the same if someone calls you and
tells you your grandchild is in jail and needs bond money, someone says
your computer won’t work unless you give them your password...thieves
are getting smarter, we need to as well.

Trott found guilty of first-degree murder
By jACOB SNyDER
[email protected]
The tears began to flow as
family members and friends of
Rockwell City Police Officer Jamie
Buenting heard District Judge
Thomas Bice state that the jury
found Corey Allen Trott guilty
of first-degree murder. Trott shot
and killed Buenting in the early
morning hours of Sept. 13, 2013
during a standoff with police.
The jury decided the verdict
in their chambers at the Clarion
courthouse after about 90 minutes
of deliberation.
Following the reading of the
verdict, Bice complimented the
jury on their work. “…Justice has
been served and it is because of
your good service,” he told the 12
men and women. “And I sincerely
thank you.”
Scott Brown, an assistant
Iowa attorney general and one
of the prosecuting attorneys,
called his first witness to the
stand, Mike Anderson, assistant
police chief of the Rockwell City
Police Department, the morning
of day two of the trial. For the
next approximately seven hours,
Anderson and four other witnesses,
all law enforcement officers, retold
the story of the events that led up
to and followed Buenting’s death.
Officers originally made their
way to the Trott residence, 502
Pleasant Street, on the evening of
Sept. 12, 2013 because they had a
warrant for his arrest. The police
tried numerous times to make
contact with the defendant using
various methods, but he did not
respond.
Local law enforcement then
decided to deploy the Webster
County
Special
Emergency
Response Team, or SERT for short.
When asked why there was need for
SERT, Shane Voith, of the Calhoun
County Sheriff’s Department and a
member of the team, said because
the officers considered this a highrisk situation.
“We (which Voith later clarified
to mean the local law enforcement)
felt that would be a safer way
to bring it to a safer conclusion
picking him up,” he explained.
The team include Buenting,
Officer Dan McLarin, Roger
Porter of the Fort Dodge Police
Department, and Luke Fleener
of the Webster County Sheriff’s
Office.
They had devised a plan: to
break up into two groups of two
and each breach a window to
establish a sightline into the house
and continue their attempts to make
contact with the defendant. With
Fleener backing him up, Buenting
took a window on one side of
the house. Porter, with McLarin
backing him up, took a window on
the another side of the house.
The devise they each used
not only allowed them to breach
the window but also pull down
the curtains or blankets that were
obscuring their view into the
residence. Buenting breached first,
around 1:40 a.m., on Sept. 13, 2013
then Porter did the same at his
window.
The only difference between
the two groups, Trott was waiting
near the window for Buenting,
Brown told the jury more than
once throughout the trial. As soon
as Buenting breached the window,
Trott fired a shot from his .223 boltaction rifle. Trott hit the officer in
the throat region and Buenting went
down. But Fleener, his partner, did
not shoot back.
“Not having a sight picture, I
had nothing to fire at,” he said of
his reason for not doing so.
Quickly, a group of officers
formed a rescue team and carried
the wounded officer to safety.
But Buenting was pronounced
dead shortly after arriving at
Stewart Memorial Hospital in
the early morning hours of Sept.
13, 2013. Another nearly four
hours passed before Trott finally
surrendered to the police. He
was arrested and taken to the Sac
County Jail.
Later that same morning, in
an interview with the 33-year old
man, Agent Jon Turbett, of the
Iowa Department of Criminal
Investigation (DCI), would get
Trott’s version of the events leading
up to the shooting.
Trott claimed the police had
been “manipulating and monkeying
around” around with him for some
time. And that night, he saw their
actions as a continuation of this
harassment.
“I knew what they were up to,”
he told the agent, agreeing with
Turbett when asked, that he felt
they were meddling in his family’s
affairs.
Trott also said people who
were after his parent’s property
and called the police on him for
no apparent reason. That night
the police came, then, Trott got
himself ready for battle, Brown
told the jury.
“Corey Trott is standing by
the window and he is waiting for
them,” he told the jury at one point
Corey Trott looks on during his trial last week at the Clarion
courthouse. Trott was charged with first-degree murder and will
be sentenced Sept. 26, 2014. He could face life in prison. (Photo

in his closing statement.
Brown contended that the 33year old had prepared by loading
his gun, grabbing several more
rounds of ammo and waiting in the
dark at that window for them.
However, Joseph McCarville,
one of the defense attorneys, said
Trott was simply protecting himself
and had no intention to shoot and
kill an officer. And during an
interview with Turbett, following
being arrest, Trott contended that
was in fact what he was doing.
“It was basically to keep them
off that window,” he said.
Day three brought forth experts
in the fields of forensic autopsy and
firearms.
Peter Wagner, a criminalist who
works for the DCI, investigated the
crime scene the morning of Sept.
13, 2013. Through a slideshow of
pictures, he explained the series
of events, particularly the vantage
points Trott had from the window
of the house Buenting breached as
well in his basement.
Karl Bessman, who works for
DCI as a firearms expert, examined
the firearm, spent shell casing and
several pieces of Buenting’s clothes
as part of the investigation. He first
compared test spent rounds to the
one found in Trott’s weight room
and/or office, and determined they
could have been made by the same
company.
As for the clothes, after doing
some tests, Bessman determined
how far away Trott was from
Buenting when he took the shot.
“Well, my analysis was limited,
in that I could say it was at least
so far away,” he told Brown. He
continued that his guess was that

Trott fired the shot from at least
five or more feet away.
The prosecution called several
more witnesses throughout the
next day and a half before they
completed their testimony.
The defense did not call any
witnesses for the case and Trott
stated he would not testify.
Closing statements on Friday,
Sept. 5, were followed by Bice
giving the jury their instructions
of the law. Then, they went into
deliberation at around 11:45 a.m.
After about 90 minutes, they
had come to a unanimous verdict.
“We the jury find the defendant
guilty of murder in the first degree,
signed foreperson,” Bice read.
As soon as this was read,
the tears began to flow as family
and friends hugged each other.
As family members and friends
exited the courtroom, Jamie’s
wife, Mandy hugged each of them,
thanking them for being there and
supporting her.
Bice said Trott will be
sentenced on September 26, 2014
at 10 a.m. The sentencing will take
place at the courthouse in Rockwell
City.

Council accepts petition
for voluntary annexation
Properties in Highway 17 south corridor
By les houser
[email protected]
Following a public hearing with
no objections, the Eagle Grove City
Council accepted a petition signed by
property owners along the Highway
17 corridor on the south side of the
city. Resolution 2014-30 states that the
annexation is for the benefit of, and in
the best interests of, the City of Eagle
Grove. After the hearing was closed,
Councilperson Tony Axtell moved
to approve the resolution which was
seconded by Councilperson Wally
Lorenzen. The motion carried,
and those properties will now be
incorporated within the boundaries
of the City. During the discussion on
this agenda item, a citizen stated the
need for a lowered speed limit within
that new boundary area. The Council
liked that idea, and will look into it
further.
The Council also approved
the proposal for the preliminary
improvements to the Memorial
Hall as presented, and authorized
development of the final plans and
specs to go out for bids. Work will
include a complete upgrade of the
kitchen facilities, the entrances and
conference room. A handicapped,
unisex bathroom is planned, along
with exterior work to the building.
After tabling the item at the last
meeting, the Council took up the
matter of supplemental agreement #4
with V&K Engineering for the DD#94
project. Included are the increase in
the hourly fee limit of $17,181, along
with an additional 429 man-hours
needed to complete the project which
will require an increase of $36,367.
According to Tim Moreau, this will
be an overall increase to $168,000
which amounts to about seven percent
of the total contract. He states that it
is still well within the normal 5-8
percent range for this type of service.
“The complexity of this project, due
to the numerous utility conflicts and
outside agencies (Union Pacific)
involved, account for the higher than
anticipated fee originally proposed,”
stated Moreau in the document.
“While I don’t question the
increase in hours, I don’t think they
should change the per-hour rate
agreed on in the contract,” said
Councilperson Dennis Vandewater
prior to the vote to approve. City
Administrator Mike Boyd said he
would watch for those details in future
construction contracts. Regarding the
entire project, Boyd stated that the
contractor is still planning on the
project being completed by November
15. “Once FEMA pays their portion
of this, we should actually be under
budget by $100,000,” said Boyd.
Councilperson Lorenzen stated
that he has had questions from
residents about the sidewalk and
driveway replacement on Highway
17, and specifically how the DOT
is determining the replacements.
According to them, it is for ANY
sidewalk not at the five-foot wide
minimum and for any graveled
portion of a driveway in order to keep
loose rock from laying on a sidewalk
creating a potential safety hazard for
a blind person.
During public forum time, Bob
Torkelson spoke for the Park Board
in voicing displeasure for the way
a Council member, along with the
approval by Boyd, found someone to
take over the flag football program
without the Board’s involvement.
Boyd apologized for what happened.
In other action the Council:
-approved Resolution 201431 concerning the annual financial
report that the City is required to file.
According to Finance Officer Susan
Maier, who completed the report, it
summarizes the activity of all city
funds and covers revenue sources
and charges for services. “Public
Safety is taking a larger chunk of our
funds, while ambulance revenues are
declining while costs increase,” said
Maier. “We’ll have to take a closer
look at that in the future.”
-approved Resolution 2014-29
concerning an invocation prior to
opening each Council meeting.

Health update on Enteroviruses
By Wright County Health Dept.
• Enteroviruses are very common
viruses; there are more than 100
types.
• It is estimated that 10 to 15
million enterovirus infections occur
in the United States each year,
usually in the summer and fall.
• Most people infected with
enteroviruses have no symptoms
or only mild symptoms, but some
infections can be serious.
• Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is
one of the more than 100 types of
enteroviruses circulating in the U.S.
and around the world.
EV-D68 Symptoms and
Treatment
• EV-D68 usually can cause mild
to severe respiratory illness.
• Respiratory symptoms such as
coughing and wheezing typically
come on quickly.
- Some people with severe
respiratory illness caused by EVD68 may need to be hospitalized and
receive intensive supportive therapy.
Infants, children, and teenagers with
a history of asthma or those who
have a condition that compromises
their immune system, are most likely
to become severely ill.
• There is no specific treatment,
such as an anti-viral medication, for
EV-D68 infections.
• Many infections resolve on

their own and require only treatment
at home:
- Drink plenty of fluids
- Rest
- Stay home so you do not
spread the virus to others.
- Clean frequently touched
surfaces to stop the spread of the
virus at home.
Guidance to Parents
• Parents of children with cold-like
symptoms that experience difficulty
breathing should contact their health
care provider.
Prevention
• There are no vaccines for
preventing EV-D68 infections.
• Ways to help reduce the risk of
getting infected with EV-D68:
- Wash hands often with soap
and water for 20 seconds
- Avoid touching eyes, nose
and mouth with unwashed hands
- Avoid kissing, hugging, and
sharing cups or eating utensils with
people who are sick
- Disinfect frequently touched
surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs,
especially if someone is sick
Surveillance
• There will not be a daily count of
cases as EV-D68 is not a reportable
disease in the United States. Also,
CDC does not have a surveillance
system that specifically collects
information on EV-D68 infections.

Fall is the ideal time to prepare a
lawn for the months that lie ahead
before spring, making sure it emerges
healthy and happy.
Here are some tips from Iowa State
University Extension and Outreach
on how to apply fall herbicide and
control fall weeds, with help from
ISU Extension horticulturists. To have
additional questions answered, contact
the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108,
or [email protected].
When is the best time to apply a
broadleaf herbicide to the lawn?
Fall (late September to early
November) is the best time to apply
broadleaf herbicides in Iowa. In
fall, perennial broadleaf weeds are
transporting food (carbohydrates) from
their foliage to their roots in preparation
for winter. Broadleaf herbicides applied
in fall will be absorbed by the broadleaf
weed’s foliage and transported to the
roots along with the carbohydrates,
resulting in the destruction of the
broadleaf weeds. Spring applications
are generally less effective than fall
applications.
Which herbicides are effective in
broadleaf herbicides. When spraying,
keep the nozzle close to the ground.
Granular broadleaf herbicides
are often combined with fertilizers.
Apply granular broadleaf herbicides
and fertilizer/broadleaf herbicide
combinations when the foliage is wet.
Broadleaf herbicides are absorbed by
the weed’s foliage, not its roots. To
be effective, the granules must stick
to the weeds and the herbicide must
be absorbed by the weed’s foliage.
Apply granular products in the early
morning when the foliage is wet with
dew or irrigate the lawn prior to the
application.
Which lawn care practices
enhance the absorption of broadleaf
herbicides?
To ensure adequate leaf surface and
herbicide absorption, don’t mow the
lawn two to three days before treatment.
After treatment, allow three to four days
to pass before mowing. This allows
sufficient time for the broadleaf weeds

Applying herbicide and fighting fall weeds
controlling broadleaf weeds?
Effective broadleaf herbicides
include 2,4-D, MCPP, dicamba,
triclopyr, and others. The most effective
broadleaf herbicide products contain a
mixture of two or three herbicides,
as no single compound controls all
broadleaf weeds.
What is the proper way to apply
broadleaf herbicides to the lawn?
Broadleaf herbicides can be applied
as liquids or granules. Before applying
any herbicide, carefully read and follow
label directions.
When applying liquid formulations,
apply just enough material to wet the
leaf surfaces. If only a few areas in the
lawn have broadleaf weed problems,
spot treat these areas rather than spraying
the entire lawn. Liquid formulations
have the potential to drift. Spray drift
problems can be avoided by following
simple precautions. Don’t spray when
winds exceed 5 mph. Also, don’t spray
when temperatures are forecast to
exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit within
24 hours of the application. Since
coarse droplets are less likely to drift
than fine sprays, select a nozzle that
produces coarse droplets, and use low
sprayer pressure when applying liquid
them to: [email protected]

to absorb the herbicide and translocate
it to their roots. To prevent the broadleaf
herbicide from being washed off the
weed’s foliage, apply these materials
when no rain is forecast for 24 hours.
Also, don’t irrigate treated lawns within
24 hours of the application.
How do I control creeping Charlie
in my lawn?
Ground ivy (“creeping Charlie”) in
lawns can be controlled with broadleaf
herbicides. Products that contain
2,4-D or triclopyr are most effective.
2,4-D is an active ingredient in many
broadleaf herbicide products. Triclopyr
can be found in Ortho Weed-B-Gon
Chickweed, Clover and Oxalis Killer
for Lawns and several other products.
In Iowa, herbicide applications should
be made between late September and
early November. Two applications are
necessary to effectively control ground
ivy. The first application should be
made in late September/early October,
the second a month later.

This lateral has pretty good fall then levels out
and water seems to stand still. There have
been multiple blowouts and issues over the
last couple of months. The city uses this lateral
also for storm water discharge. Deb Lukes,
Drainage Deputy, will investigate whether
some of the blowouts and trouble came during
the heavy rains and possibly work with FEMA
on mitigation.

EaglE grovE EaglE
You are what
you eat
By: Annette Snyder,
MS, RD, LD
Registered Dietitian
Wright Medical Center
The dog days of summer are
upon us. School is in full swing,
family vacations are winding down,
and we are starting to prepare for
the cooler fall days ahead. Still, who
doesn’t love a backyard barbecue?
Unfortunately, these occasions are
ripe for foodborne illness. I know,
here comes the killjoy. However, it
is so important to keep food safety in
mind when planning events.
Foodborne
illness
is
basically when you get sick from a
microorganism (very small life form)
in your food. It could be bacteria,
viruses, or a toxin produced by
bacteria that cause the problem. Every
time I hear someone complain of a
“stomach bug” or “24 hour flu,” a red
flag goes up. There is a big difference
between influenza (the “flu”) and
getting sick from something you eat.
The flu typically shows up as chest
congestion,
coughing/wheezing,
aches and fever. Foodborne illnesses
usually cause nausea, vomiting, and
diarrhea. Makes sense, since food
goes through your digestive tract
(stomach, intestines) and not your
respiratory system (lungs).
Common
causes
of
foodborne illness include improper
storage/heating and cooling, and
poor handwashing. We’ll focus on
the first item here. Who hasn’t gone
to a picnic and munched on food
that’s sitting out all afternoon? What
about the holidays, when food sits out
on the counter and we nibble all day
long? Let’s look at the risks.
Bacteria grows rapidly
while in the temperature “danger
zone,” which is 41°-135°F. In this
temperature range, bacteria double in
numbers every 20 minutes. Consider
this…every square centimeter of
skin (slightly smaller than a dime)
contains 1500 bacteria. Hands can
transfer a fraction of these to, let’s
say, sandwiches. If sandwiches sit
out for several hours (and this is
assuming you start with a reasonably
clean product with only 5 bacteria
on it), you could easily have over 1
million bacteria in 5-6 hours. What’s
room temp? Right in the danger
zone. Perishable foods (those high
in protein or moisture) should not sit
in this temperature range longer than
4 hours total…and that includes time
in the shipping process, the shopping
cart in the store, transport home,
prep, cooling down from cooking,
sitting out, etc.
Well, so what if you did
leave something out for too long?
You could just heat it really well
and get rid of the problem, right?
No. You may be able to kill the live
bacteria, but heating will not kill any
toxins they produce while they’re
having their own little party on your
food. What about storing foods in the
fridge or freezer? That slows down
any bacterial growth, but doesn’t stop
it completely or kill off any bacteria.
This means you really ought to toss
last week’s Chinese leftovers.
“Risky” foods, such as
last night’s roast, should not be kept
longer than 3 days. It cannot be
reheated more than once, or you run
the risk of too much danger zone
time. Heat leftovers to 165°F within
2 hours (no crock pot reheating). For
more info on food safety, check out
www.foodsafety.gov.

Produce
Tidbits
Welcome back to Produce Tidbits.
This week I would like to continue
discussing the important vitamins
and minerals that our bodies need by
talking about potassium. Potassium
is symbolized by the letter “K” on
the periodic table and it is a very
important mineral. It is an electrolyte
that controls many very important
functions within our bodies.
It is crucial to maintain a “normal”
potassium level within our bodies,
or many serious medical conditions
may arise. For instance, potassium
regulates our blood pressure, water
balance, and muscle function, as well
as regulation of the transmissions of
electrical impulses to our hearts.
Potassium also is important for
our digestive systems because it
plays a very important role in muscle
contractions. An adults normal
potassium level is somewhere
between 3.5 and 5.0 mEq/L or
milli-equivalent per liter. This can
be maintained by taking in at least
2,000 mg. daily for an adult and
children over 10 years of age.
A condition called “Hypokalemia”
results when our potassium level is
too low and you may begin to feel
excessive fatigue, muscle weakness,
constipation, and even irregular
heartbeats.
When a person’s level is too high,
then you may experience nausea, and
slow or irregular heartbeats, and this
is called “Hyperkalemia.” Either of
these conditions is quite serious and
should be evaluated and monitored
closely by your doctor.
I am sure that you have been told
to eat bananas for your potassium
intake, but did you know that a
baked potato has over 900 mg. of
potassium, while a banana has only
about 500 mg?
Potassium is the seventh most
abundant mineral in the crust of the
earth, and the third most mineral in
our human bodies.
The name “potassium” is derived
from potash or “pot ash.” It can be
found in the water in the ocean.
Interesting!
Besides potatoes and bananas,
potassium can be found in chickpeas,
almonds, black-eyed peas, and
soybeans. Also, trout, tuna, cod and
halibut are very rich in potassium, as
well as dairy products.
So, next time you’re in the produce
department of Fareway, where we
are ALWAYS BEST AT FRESH,
don’t forget to pick up plenty of
bananas and potatoes, so you can
maintain that important potassium
level. Have a super fantastic week
and until next time, good-bye!

Keep Iowa
Growing
Letter to the Editor:
Iowa’s farmland holds both our
state’s heritage and our history. As
you think about the future of your
land, what if you could ensure it is
kept in production while directing
the revenue to the causes and
community you care so much about?
Keep Iowa Growing allows you to
do just that. Keep Iowa Growing
is Iowa’s farmland giving program
available through the Wright County
Charitable Foundation and the
Community Foundation of Greater
Des Moines. Keep Iowa Growing
provides you the opportunity to
keep your land in production while
creating a legacy of giving that will
positively impact the causes you
care about forever.
Making a gift of farmland through
Keep Iowa Growing gives you the
unique flexibility to structure a
gift which works best for you. An
outright gift can be made with the
revenue benefiting the causes you
care about immediately. You can also
choose to make a gift of farmland,
but retain a life estate and an income
stream for your lifetime and a
charitable legacy for generations to
come. This flexibility allows you to
consider what is best for you, your
family and your farming operation
while maximizing your charitable
contributions and tax savings.
Keep Iowa Growing provides a
variety of opportunities and benefits
to not only support the causes you
care about, but maximize tax savings
on the gift of land. When making a
gift of farmland you receive a tax
deduction for the charitable portion
of the gift, bypass capital gains
taxes, remove the asset from the
possibility of estate taxes and you
may qualify for Endow Iowa Tax
Credits. Endow Iowa Tax Credits are
a 25 percent state tax credit available
for gifts made to qualifying funds at
our community foundation.
While your generosity creates
a legacy of giving, your land will
continue its history of production.
Keep Iowa Growing will manage
your gifted farmland to ensure best
farming practices are used and your
intentions are carried out. You have
the ability to name the tenant farmer
who will rent the land, thus providing
farmers in your community a
continued income stream.
Farming has provided you with
more than living; it is a way of life.
Making a gift of farmland through
Keep Iowa Growing gives you the
assurance this way of life will not
only continue, but has created a
legacy of giving forever benefitting
the community and causes you care
about.

ATTENTION ALL
EAGLES…
Is it just me, or does America always
seem to be moving? And no, I don’t
mean slowly inching away from its
original position in Pangea. I mean,
Americans are always on the go, looking
for the next big dream or goal in order
to achieve happiness. It seems that if we
only had this, or that, then we would be
truly happy. But when does this, or that,
stop being enough?
When do we stop caring
for all that we have, and
start looking for the one thing we don’t
have? Maybe, instead of looking for all
of those things that could make us happy,
we should start looking at all the things
already making us happy. Sometimes
the things we are looking for the most,
are the things standing right in front of
us. After all, it’s the things we notice the
least, that often times mean the most.

volleyball team ran into a tough
Forest City squad last Tuesday in
taking a road loss in three sets.
Scores were 25-12, 25-12, 25-7.
“Forest City was good,” said
head coach Karla Tweeten. “They’re
tall, and were hitting right over our
blockers. We only had five misserves, which is not bad, but they
were five pretty big serves that
allowed Forest City to go on long
runs. Overall, it was a good serving
night but we just need to get the ball
over and play the point out.”
The team served at 81.5 percent
efficiency, with Maci Pickering
making 8 of 8 and Sam Kruckenberg
5 of 5. Heather Wilson was 2 of
2, Daisah Shivers 2 of 3, Brianna
Allen 3 of 5 and Tori Axtell 2 of 4.
Shivers made four assists at a
setter spot, with Esme Figueroa at
three assists. Bailey Boyer, Dani
Koester and Kruckenberg all had
one apiece. The 10 total kills were
led by Kruckenberg with four,
followed by Wilson with three.
Allen, Koester and Pickering all
finished with one successful spike.
Axtell and Figueroa both had three
saves apiece, while Kruckenberg,
Pickering and Shivers all had two
each. Leslie Cooper had one dig.
Allen executed a solo block,
while Wilson went up for two block
assists. Allen and Mallory Hammitt
both made one assist each.
“Volleyball is so much about
momentum, and Forest City had
that most of the match,” said the
head coach. “Our back row was
working hard and we were getting
good swings at the ball in the front
row to show we were trying hard.
Forest City moves around on the
court well, and were getting in the
right position to return everything
we tried.”
The team plays at North
Union this Thursday, then hosts
North Iowa next Tuesday for an
Alzheimer’s fundraiser. “I told the
girls it’s early, so we need to keep
working hard at our game,” said
Tweeten. “They have the potential
of putting it together. It’s about
believing in ourselves and reaching
for that potential within us.”
Wright County Shooters
hold recent monthly event
BY LES HOUSER
The Wright County Shooting Association held their monthly shoot
on August 24 at the gun range east of Clarion on Reed Avenue. It was
reported to be a great day, with nine shooters including a new entry in
Jennile Rosburg.
In the limited class, first place went to Bill Holden with 218 points in
a time of 41.71. He drew no penalties for a final score of 5.226. Finishing
second was Jim Mertz with 243 points in 57.36. He also drew no penalties
for a final score of 4.236. Taking third was Lynn Barz with 212 points in
52.37. He drew no penalties for a score of 4.048. Other competitors in the
class, and their scores, were Dennis Mraz (3.119), Bryce Hamilton (2.758),
Mike Townsend (2.652), Doug Riley (2.489), Jennile Rosburg (0.730) and
Jamiin Braadland (0.017).
In the open class, it was Townsend taking the win with 211 points in
39.31. He drew 10 in penalties for a score of 5.113. Second went to Barz
with 194 points in 43.65. He drew no penalties for a score of 4.444. Third
was taken by Holden with 184 points in 40.61. He drew 10 in penalties for
a score of 4.284. Also competing in the class was Rosburg (2.593).
In the optic class, it was Barz the winner with 219 points in 61.69. He
drew no penalties for a score of 3.550. Second place went to Townsend
with 202 points in 62.50. He drew 60 in penalties for a score of 2.276.
They were the only two shooters in the class. Mraz was the only entry in
the revolver class, getting 208 points in 82.37. He drew no penalties for a
score of 2.525.
The next event is set for September 28, and new shooters are always
welcomed whether a veteran gun owner or a new permit holder. Contact
either Barz at 515-777-5058 or Dave Townsend at 532-3243 for more

Around the AreA
Eagle Pharmacy
Continued from Page 1
son, Trent, at the time, she decided it
was time for a change. So they took
a “leap of faith” and opened Eagle
Pharmacy on September 14, 1984.
“Whenever you open a business,
you have to be patient because it
takes about five years of working
the hours yourself to get your feet
on the ground…that, and a lot of
support from friends and family,”
said Cooper, proud of the fact that
they’ve now been in business for
three decades.
Eagle Pharmacy now employes
15
full-time
and
part-time
employees (including three parttime pharmacists). She has also had
three employees who started in her
business go on to become (or are
in school to become) pharmacists
themselves - Lisa Spangler, Andrew
Wagner, and Kathy Shehan.
Cooper said she is excited that
the pharmacy is actually “in grow
mode” right now.
“I expect us to add more services
soon,” she said.
Services they currently offer,
but are not limited to, include:
deliver, patient teaching, medication
reviews
(working with the
physicians to get the patient on the
least amount of meds with the best
possible outcome), flu and shingle
vaccinations (will even come to
businesses upon request), Syncing
medications to all meds are ordered
at the same time, and a packaging
program (for a nominal fee) that
helps patients know what meds to
take when throughout the day. They
are also in the process of becoming
Diabetes certified in order to provide
special services.
Cooper said she enjoys having
a business in Eagle Grove for a
number of reasons, but mostly
because it “holds her accountable,”
enabling her to do what she feels
best meets the needs of the people,
not corporations. She also enjoys
being able to give back to the people
who have given so much in support
of her business.
“The community has been very
good to me, so I feel like I can give
back…whether it be financially,
employing students, collecting Box
Tops for the school, volunteering
(she and her employees) at the
schools during the work day, helping
at the Senior Citizens Center, etc.,”
Cooper said.
She really does love Eagle
Grove, and it goes without saying
when you find her opening the
Pharmacy past hours to help
someone in an emergency.
“I feel like I work in a sweet
spot. I really picked the best place
to practice. The physicians are over
the top amazing in Wright County…
as is Public Health, they are one of
the best in the state,” Cooper said.
There is no denying there have
been many changes in her field
over the past 30 years, but Cooper
adjusts as needed. She is hoping
to continue serving the community
for many more years to come. Her
long-term goal is to perhaps find a
junior partner to work with and train
to take over. When that happens,
years from now she said, then she
may pursue becoming a diabetic
educator.
“I like what I do and I’m blessed
to do it,” said Cooper.
The public is invited to help
the Coopers and Eagle Pharmacy
celebrate their 30 years in business
during an Open House on Friday,
Sept. 19, from 9 - 11 a.m.
Rotary Auxiliary
Continued from Page 1
cards with the residents, Bingo, gone
to tea, and also hold an ice cream
party twice a year. That is always
a favorite of the residents. They
also make sure their is a “welcome
basket” for new residents who move
in to Rotary Senior Living.
Over the years, however, this
organization has become about
even more than just providing
companionship, it’s also become
about providng the homes with
things they might not otherwise
have access to. For example, in
March of 1968 they helped with the
Rural Fund Drive for the proposed
extended care facility. In January
of 1974, they started a piano fund.
They’ve helped to purchase pool
tables, drapes, televisions, ice cream
machines, and the much enjoyed
Aviaries in both homes. Most
recenlty, they’ve purchased things
like Kindles, Wii, a sewing machine,
and a popcorn machine. Just a couple
of weeks ago, they completed their
most recent campaign to purchase
two new keyboards for the residents
to play and/or enjoy listening to.
To raise money for these
programs and purchases, dues are
still collected ($15), and they hold
fundraisers, including two garage
sales a year.
The Auxiliary meets only four
times a year to plan events, and
they are always ready to welcome
new members to the group. The
only requirement is that you want
to make a difference in the lives of
the residents by providing a friendly
face, a warm hello, and be willing
to host a birthday party or two at
Rotary.
“It’s community service to our
senior residents…they just love to see
us come,” said Bosteder. “Anybody
can join, and we would love to have
some new members.”
A Chamber Coffee is being held
to recognize the members of the
Rotary Auxiliary on Friday, Sept.
19 at 10 a.m. It will be held in the
South building.
The annual, admission-free, fall
coin show is Saturday, September
13, at the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows
High School. The hours are 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Coffee and lunch will be
served all day.
There will be two dozen tables of
coins, stamps, tokens, silver, gold,
currency, collectibles and supplies.
Dealers will be buying and selling.
Free appraisals will be given.
Collectors of all ages are welcome.
There will be merchandise in all
price ranges.
The show is organized and run
by the men and women of the 50year-old, non-profit Clarion Coin
Club, one of the oldest and most
active coin clubs in Iowa. For more
information, contact Boyd LaRue,
club president, at 515-532-0056.

Horticulture Hints:
Bringing Plants Indoors
By yvonne McCormick, ISU extension Horticulturist
Did your plants spend a vacation
out of doors this summer? Now
is the time to begin planning for
their safe return into your home.
When night time temperatures
fall below 45 degrees, plants
will begin to stress. Begin their
journey back inside before this
by bringing them in at night,
and returning by day to outside
to help acclimate them to the
change. Placing plants in partial
shade will help prepare for their
passage to lower light levels of
the home.
Be sure to carefully check
for any hitch-hiking insects on
your plant, on the pot, or in the
soil…nothing is worse than to
unknowingly bring pests into
your home, such as mealy bugs
or spider mites that can rapidly
spread to infest other plants.
What to do? Give plants
a shower out of doors before
bringing them inside. This will
help to knock off any bugs or
insect eggs that may be present.
Check undersides of leaves and
in the leaf axil (where the leaf is
attached to stem) for unwanted
travelers. Immersing pots in
lukewarm water for about 15
minutes will help force any
insects out of the soil.
Repot in fresh soil, and be sure
to clean the container well. If a
larger container is needed, make
certain it has a drainage hole and
is no larger than 1-2 inches of the
size of the original pot. Keep
plants isolated from your other
plants for a few weeks, to avoid
possible infestation.
As plants will be experiencing
less light indoors, now is the time
to clean windows to allow more
light. Do not fertilize your plants
in the winter, as the reduced light
results in reduced growth.
Did you know? Some plants
can be overwintered by taking
cuttings to root. This will help
to give you a fresh looking plant,
rather than over-wintering a large,
“leggy” plant. Use of cuttings will
also help avoid space concerns
with huge, heavy containers
required
to
accommodate
oversized plants for the winter.
Remove lower leaves and be sure
a node (where leaf was attached)
is under the surface of rooting
medium. To promote rooting,
place a plastic bag around the pot
to increase humidity. Contact
your local Extension Office for
further information.

Wright
County
Charitable
Foundation will grant approximately
$50,000 to qualifying non-profit
projects in the Fall of 2014.
Wright
County
Charitable
Foundation is calling for nonprofit organizations to submit grant
applications for funding to help
complete their dream projects.
Forms have been simplified to make
a successful application even easier.
The Wright County Charitable
Foundation 2014 Fall Granting
Period opens on Sept. 15, and
applications will be accepted until 4
p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 15.
Late applications will not be
considered.
“We have a spring and fall cycle
each year, and I am pleased to
report that to date, Wright County
Charitable Foundation has granted
$698,755.00 to worthy causes across
the county” said Caye Chelesvig,
WCCF President. “Completed
projects worth more than $6.6
million have benefited from the
grants. Many of the projects, ranging
from firefighters’ turnout gear to
playgrounds, would not have been
completed if it had not been for the
funds from WCCF.”
King Band to perform
at national convention
The Karl L. King Municipal Band
of Fort Dodge has been invited to
open the Circus Fans Association
of America National Convention
on September 17 in Dubuque. This
performance will start at 7 p.m., and
there is no admission charge. It is
being held at the Eleanor Roosevelt
Middle School Auditorium, and is
open to the public.
This five-day convention is
annually held at various sites
throughout the United States. The
2013 Convention was held in San
Diego, Calif., in February, while the
2015 Convention will be in West
Springfield, Mass., next July.
Dubuque was chosen in part
because it is close to McGregor, Iowa,
where the famous Ringling Brothers
were from, and close to Baraboo,
Wis., where the Ringling Bros. first
circus performance was held, and
currently the home of Circus World
Museum. These brothers teamed up
with Yankee Robinson there, who
died and was buried in Jefferson,
Iowa. Karl King’s second year with
the circus band was with the Yankee
Robinson Shows. In addition, Iowa
became the home of circus musicians
C.L. Barnhouse, Russell Alexander,
Fred Jewell, and many others.
The mission of the Circus Fans
Association of America is to support
the circus in all its many forms,
whether under a big top, in an arena,
a stadium, or anywhere “children of
all ages” gather for one of America’s
greatest cultural institutions. This
association is a hobby group of 2,000
or so folks who love the circus. CFA
members, including performers
and circus personnel, share all
facets of the circus, swap tales of
experiences and observations, trade
posters and memorabilia, and attend
performances.
The Karl L. King Municipal Band
is honored to have been chosen to
represent the greater Fort Dodge
area, as well as the state of Iowa, at
this national convention. It is due
in part to the role Karl King played
with various circuses and that he
lived in Fort Dodge for 50 years
while directing the municipal band
and publishing his music, along with
the national reputation that the band
continues to maintain.
Conductor Jerrold P. Jimmerson has
planned a program, titled “Trouping
With Karl King,” that will reflect
King’s travels with four different
circuses as a baritone player, and his
five years as conductor of the top two
circus bands in the land. Through
the use of King’s compositions,
along with program notes and
anecdotes, the audience will make
that same journey as Mr. King did
from the start of the 1910 season
with Robinson’s Famous Shows to
the close of the 1918 season with the
Barnum and Bailey Circus.
Along the way, the audience will
hear about such people as John
Ringling, William F. “Buffalo Bill”
Cody, lion tamer Clyde Beatty,
aerialist Lillian Leitzel, and all the
other interesting personnel that
were such an exciting part of this
American way of life.

The Eagle Grove boys cross
country team is showing they can
stay packed together, and near the
front, as the season continues with
a stop at Webster City last Tuesday.
Fort Dodge Public, which was led
by Alex Johnson’s individual gold in
16:22.88, took top team honors with
27 points. They were followed in the
top five by Algona with 32, Eagle
Grove with 105, Webster City with
112 and St. Edmond with 150. The
Eagles average time was 18:34.10.
“It was beautiful weather, and
we came to run,” said head coach Ben
Demuth. “These guys are starting
to understand what we meant by
opportunities that lay before them
when the season started, and they
are starting to gain some confidence
in what they can do as individuals
and as a team. We still have a long
way to go, but we will keep working
hard and see what happens.”
Carter Asche crossed 15th in
18:17.51 to lead the team. He was
followed by Macaulay King in 17th
in 18:20.99, Ben Thompson in 19th
in 18:31.05, Colton Pickering in 23rd
in 18:40.52, Brett Maier in 31st in
19:00.39, Gage Behnkendorf in 33rd
in 19:05.67 and Dalton Schaffer in
44th in 19:36.89.
Finishes for the Eagle JV were
as follows: Matt Fransen (66th) in
23:10.68; Casey Jergens (77th) in
23:44.70; Brian Gonzalez (88th) in
24:02.48; Andrew Ramsey (90th)
in 24:10.28; Kaden Helmke (113th)
in 27:39.77; Nathan Curtis (115th)
in 27:46.42; Harrison Helgevold
(116th) in 28:18.65 and Brandon
Marsh (124th) in 32:38.80.
“I was really impressed with
Ben,” said the head coach. “He
stepped up as a senior and gave it all
he had. He is only in his second year
of cross country, and the hard work
that he has put in is now starting
to pay off. I look forward to seeing
what he can accomplish the rest of
the season. Macaulay was out front
for our group most of the race, and
was able to hang with Carter when
he kicked, so that is great to see
these two finish so close together.
I also love Dalton’s commitment to
the sport. He has dropped so much
time from this race last year, and he
finished in the top 45 runners and
for him being a sophomore that is
just outstanding. We expect things
from him and I know he has a desire
to get better each and every week.”
The team goes to Ballard next
Monday, then to Clear Lake on
Thursday.

BY LES HOUSER
The Eagle Grove varsity
traveled to Southeast Valley (SEV)
last Friday and suffered a 30-0
loss to the Jaguars. The home team
scored in each of the first three
quarters, with 14 points coming in
the second period, to take the win.
“We felt pretty good about
our scheme going in, but then we
lost Devon Omvig for the rest of
the night,” said head mentor Bruce
Dahlhauser. “It changed our whole
offensive outlook and what we could
do. We did have a nice early drive,
and so I thought that we could move
the ball against them. I think we lost
our confidence when Devon went
down.”
That early drive he was
referring to saw the Eagles take the
ball 26 yards on eight snaps to their
own 33 before having to punt. That
sequence included a busted play on a
punt attempt, with Graeham Schope
going for 25 yards to gain a fresh set
of downs. The only other sustained
drive came in the fourth quarter,
when the Eagles set up shop at their
own 43 for good field position to
start. A Jeremy Weber 14-yard run
took it into SEV territory at their
40 for a first down. Unfortunately,
that’s as far as they would get on
that drive as they regressed to their
own 25 before punting. The game
clock ran out on the next possession
after that.
Dahlhauser did feel good about
his team’s defensive effort. “We
forced them to drive for some of
their touchdowns, which was much
better than our effort the week
before,” said the head coach. “I was
proud of our effort, and especially
in the second half. I thought we
came out of the locker room with
fire in our eyes. We had emotion and
passion, and got some stops early.
Our effort then was just what we
asked for, and we did stop them on
four fourth-down tries on the night.
We have also avoided the penalties
and silly mistakes.”
The team gained 28 total net
yards on 34 offensive plays, with
three first downs and a possession
time of 24:09. The Eagles had no
turnovers and only three flags for 15
yards in penalties. They converted
one third-down, and one fourthdown, play in the game.
Weber rushed for 21 net yards
on 19 carries, while Schope gained
12 net yards on nine attempts.
Brandon Stuhr had one yard on two
carries. Passing and receiving yards
were both for negative net yardage.
Omvig kicked off once for a 42yard average, while Schope booted
seven punts for just over 27 average
yards per kick. Four players return
one kick each for 11 total yards.
Dylan Huse led the tackle chart
with 14 total, including four solo
stops. Jared Beecher and Weber
each had 11 total, with Weber
having six solo and Beecher two.
Julian Calderon made one solo
tackle and eight total, while Stuhr
made seven total and three of those
as solo stops. Caleb Baker had
seven total with three solo, and Kent
Jorgensen seven total with one solo.
Schope had five total with two solo,
while Jon Mendoza had four total
as all assists. Ben Wesselink had
three assists, with Tanion Pohlman
getting two assists. Sam Johnson
made two solo tackles. Jorgensen
also recovered a fumble.
“We’re playing hard and with
effort, and doing the things we can
do to improve,” said the head coach.
“We saw some of those things in
this game. Hopefully we can build
on that and score some points. We’re
not showing confidence in ourselves
right now, but hopefully that will
come.”
This week-Eagles (0-2) at
Belmond-Klemme
(1-1):
The
Broncos come off a close 20-19 loss
to West Fork. “We’re excited to play
another Wright County team,” said
Dahlhauser. “It will be good to see
how we rebound in this one. Their
offense is good. We need to locate
Sanders because he’ll touch the
ball a lot. We need to put him on
the ground. We haven’t established
much ourselves yet this year, so
we need to go back to the basics
and focus on what we can do in
preparing for our last non-district
game.”
