Quality Egg manager
sentenced in bribe case
A former marketing manager at
a Wright County-based egg production and processing facility who participated in a conspiracy to bribe a
USDA inspector was sentenced last
Tuesday in federal district court.
Tony Wasmund, 64, of Willmar,
Minn., the head of marketing at Quality Egg, LLC of Galt, was sentenced
to four years probation by U.S. District Court Judge Mark W. Bennett in
the Northern District of Iowa.
Quality Egg, LLC pleaded guilty
to paying at least two cash bribes to
a USDA inspector, who is now deceased, to procure the release of shell
eggs that had been retained for quality issues. The USDA inspector’s job
responsibilities included inspecting
shell eggs at one or more of Quality
Egg’s production facilities in Iowa,
and the inspector had retained or “red
tagged” several thousand dozens of
eggs for failing to meet minimum
USDA quality grade standards. Wasmund admitted at his September 2012 plea hearing that he conspired with at least one other person
to bribe the inspector, sell restricted
eggs with intent to defraud, and introduce misbranded food into interstate
commerce with intent to defraud and
mislead. Wasmund described how
he authorized the disbursement of
$300 in petty cash from Quality Egg
knowing it was to be used to bribe a
USDA inspector in April 2010. After
the bribe was paid, the eggs were released, labeled as meeting minimum
USDA quality grade standards and
sold and shipped to customers in several states.
Supervisors approve
list of weight limit bridge postings
By Les Houser
Wright County Engineer Adam
Clemons presented the list of bridge
weight limit postings at this week’s
Board of Supervisors meeting. The
recommendations for any changes
are based on the most recent
inspections conducted by an outside
structural engineer.
Out of all the bridges in the
county, only seven of them will
require a change in posted limits.
“A bridge in Dayton Township, on
250th Street, is probably one of the
worst but it’s already scheduled for
2017,” said Clemons. Another small
bridge in Lake Township (airport
road) will also see a reduced load
limit. The bridge on R65 will now be
designated for one truck only until it
gets repaired soon. Clemons said that
the bid letting for that project will
be early next year. The Board then
approved the changes, which will go
into effect as soon as the appropriate
signage is in place.
The Board also held some
discussion on ditch cleaning. They
realize it’s a growing problem all
over the county, and they along with
Clemons would like to figure out a
solution without spending a lot of
time and money on it. Some ideas
were put on the table, but nothing
was formally decided at this time.
“It’s a huge problem, and will involve
a huge requirement for funding it,”
said Supervisor Stan Watne. “I’m not
sure what we can do.” The consensus
seemed to be that the ditch drainage,
along with keeping water off the
roads, are the priorities so anything
that affects either of those should be
dealt with immediately. Other than
that, the Board will continue to study
the issue for a longer-term solution.
Roxanne Dass, a regional field
director with America’s Renewable
Future, addressed the Board about
the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)
and how county officials around
north central Iowa can get involved.
She explained that the group is a
non-profit which promotes the RFS,
which will expire in 2022. Dass
said that can include ethanol, biodiesel and fuel from cooking oil
among others. They also partner with
several groups, like the Iowa Corn
Growers, to promote their use and the
continuation of the RFS.
“We want to see the presidential
candidates pledge their support prior
to the caucuses,” said Dass. She
explained that the entire industry as
a whole provides 73,000 jobs and
over $5 billion in wages for the state.
“We’re trying to educate all of the
candidates on the importance of it,”
said Dass. She also requested the
Board make a pledge of support for
the RFS. “We want 50,000 signatures,
and hope for broad support by the
candidates,” said Dass.
She is also aware that they will
need to change some of the political
opinion that’s out there. “For
instance, this is not a tax subsidy,”
said Dass. “It’s a mandate as part of
the Renewable Fuels Act.” Benefits
she pointed out include cheaper gas
prices and a cleaner-burning fuel.
“A majority of people support it and
realize its importance to the state of
Iowa,” said Dass.
In other action the Board:
-approved a name, as presented
by Shari Plagge of the Information
Technology (IT) committee, of a new
IT Director for the county. According
to Plagge, extensive background
checks were done with no problems
appearing. The Board will now
extend him the offer;
-approved Resolution 2015-19
on the sharing of a mental health
advocate with Pocahontas and
Humboldt. According to Jen Sheehan,
that person will be Alice Porter and
her office will be in Pocahontas as she
serves all three counties. Pocahontas
will be the employer, with the other
two sharing in her expenses;
-accepted the cash count from
close of business for the fiscal year
ending June 30;
-received and approved the
quarterly revenue report from the
Wright County Sheriff’s Office.

Alternative poultry events at the Fair
By Kim Demory
egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net
An announcement came only
one month ago from the Iowa
Department of Agriculture and
Land Stewardship that “all live bird
exhibitions at county fairs, the Iowa
State Fair, and other gatherings of
birds due to avian influenza,” would
be cancelled. The Department’s
order began immediately and stays
in effect through the remainder of
the year.
The avian bird flu may have
put a stop to bringing live poultry
to the 2015 Wright County Fair, but
it won’t stop 4-H and FFA members
who usually participate in this
exhibit area from showing off their
birds and what they know about
them.
However, before the Department
made the decision to implement
the ban state-wide, the Wright
County Board of Supervisors, in
cooperation with the Wright County
Fair Board, had already decided that
they would not allow any poultry
at the 2015 Wright County Fair for
safety reasons. While they realized
this would be disappointing news for
exhibitors, they also encouraged 4-H
and FFA members to look at this
situation as an opportunity to gain
valuable experience in problemsolving. Sure, they may not be able
to show live birds, but what else
could they do with poultry? There
are a number of opportunities, and
the public is encouraged to look
for their creative ideas at the fair.
Perhaps someone will participate
in a Communications event with
an educational presentation. There
might be a few poster displays
talking about chickens, avian flu,
or how the outbreak might affect
the local economy. Perhaps there
will be entries in the Photography
category of their turkeys or chickens.
According to Larry Pals,
Superintendent of the small animals
department at the Wright County
Fair, a question and answer session
will also be conducted for those
exhibitors wishing to participate.
The Regional Extension Director
will hold the event at the same time
and place as the poultry judging
would have taken place - beginning
at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 9, in the
poultry barn. Spectators are invited
and encouraged to attend.
While there won’t be live
chicken and turkeys on display in the
poultry barn, you will still be able
to see the kids’ poultry they would
have exhibited at the Fair had it not
been for the bird flu outbreak. An
8.5 x 11 photograph of the member
and his/her bird will be hanging on
the pens where the animals would
There won’t be live poultry at the 2015 Wright County Fair, but be
sure to still go through the barns and see photos of the exhibitors and
their poultry projects hanging on the pens where they would have been
located.
have normally been housed for the
week.
At the end of the Fair, many
exhibitors sell their birds to the
highest bidder during the auction.
No live poultry will be at the sale, but
these exhibitors will be allowed to
sell their poultry at the sale, dressed,
from a photo. All exchanges of the
birds will then be done privately.
It’s not the ideal situation,
but Pals said the State has given
numerous suggestions for fairs to
consider in order to still provide an
opportunity for poultry exhibitors.
The Wright County Fair Board is
pleased to be embracing some of
these suggestions and hope that they
will be a successful alternative.
Clarion Enters Into Loan Agreement For Wastewater Treatment Project
By Travis Fischer
The Clarion City Council took
the last big steps toward building
their new Wastewater Treatment
Plant during the regular meeting on
Monday, July 6.
First, the city held a public hearing
before agreeing to enter into a loan
agreement with the State Revolving
Fund (SRF) for an amount of up to
$6.2 million in order to pay for the
project.
The SRF is a state financed
program designed specifically to
help communities like Clarion with
water and wastewater projects like
this. Through the program, the city
will have access to a pool of funds of
up to the $6.2 million amount, which
can be paid back at an interest rate of
3%.
While the city will have access
to the $6.2 million, they won’t
necessarily have to borrow the entire
amount at once. Interest will only
be charged on the actual amount
borrowed at any given point in time.
“This just sets the maximum
amount,” explained Ron Fiscus of
PlanScape Partners.
Paid back over a period of thirty
years at such a low interest rate,
Fiscus recommended that the city
utilize as much of the SRF money as
possible to keep their own reserves
sustained for other upcoming
projects. Particularly projects where
unexpected costs may arise, such as
the planned slip line project.
“Keeping a reserve in that account
to accommodate that is a prudent
action,” said Fiscus.
Once approving the authorization
to enter into the loan agreement, the
city moved on to the engineering
side of the project.
Tom Madden of SEH was present
to reiterate his company’s role in the
project. SEH will be administrating
the construction of the Wastewater
Treatment Plant, overseeing the
contractors and acting as a mediary
between them and the city to make
sure the project is completed on time
and on budget.
“I can’t speak for everybody, but
I think we’re pretty comfortable with
what you’ve provided so far,” said
council member Lindsey German.
The council approved the
engineering services agreement with
SEH and passed a resolution to make
a submission of State Revolving
Funds in the amount of $6,200,000.
In other business, the council
addressed concerns brought to them
by Steve and Judy Haugland over
a long neglected property that has
become both an eyesore and a safety
hazard due to neglect from the owner.
“We face it every day,” said Judy
Haugland. “It’s been deteriorating for
years and nothing seems to be getting
done about it.”
Police Chief Steve TerHark
informed the Hauglands that the
owner of the property has been
notified and has 90 days to remedy
the problems with the property before
further legal action is taken. The
council assured the Hauglands that
they will follow up with them as the
situation develops.
The council also held a public
hearing before entering into a loan
agreement for $85,000 to pay for the
city’s new Case 580 backhoe and
approved a request from Fuel to close
Main Street on August 26 from 5:00
p.m. to 10:00 p.m. to host a musical
event. It is hoped that holding the
event on Main Street and facing the
music south will help address noise
complaints from the area neighbors.
Finally, the council discussed
change orders and a pay request for
Wicks Construction for the White
Fox Landing project. However, due
to issues concerning the completion
date and the amount due, decision
will be tabled for a future meeting.
4-H Teen Council, the kids behind the scenes
By Kim Demory
When you think of 4-H, you
probably think of kids involved
with animals, clothing, crafts,
woodworking, and all the other
entries they have available at the
Fair. But there are a group of kids
in Wright County who not only
participate in this fun-filled week
in July, but they make a difference
all year long, and they do it quietly,
mostly behind-the-scenes. They are
known as the Teen Council.
There are 15 members from
throughout Wright County on
this year’s Council, all of whom
are required to be in at least ninth
grade.
They include:
Seniors
- Matthew Magee, Jenna Kraft,
Celeste Swanson, Sarah Rasmussen,
and Joe Roberts. Other Council
members include: Lillian Swanson,
Kelsie Brodersen, Hannah Kapka,
Leslie Cooper, Danielle Koester,
Alex Hackley, Samantha Sturgeon,
Jarika Eisentrager, Jane Roberts, and
Ashley Wicks. All had to apply, and
be accepted for their role in Teen
Council.
“Council is about coming
together with other committed
members as a county to create
ideas to better 4-H,” said Leslie
Cooper, a senior member of the
Wright Warriors. “Throughout my
years in teen council, I feel the most
rewarding has been working together
to help and serve others and the
sense of community there is in 4-H.
I also really enjoy helping the youth
through the clover kid program. Fair
is all about working together as a
community. Without the many hands
we have helping, the jobs wouldn’t
get done.”
Jarika Eisentrager of the Liberty
Pathfinders 4-H Club also had great
things to say about being on Teen
Council.
“I love being on teen council
because everyone is so friendly and
it is great getting to organize and be
involved with so many things through
4-H. Others should get involved
(with Teen Council) because it really
teaches you leadership and you make
a ton of new friends,” she said.
Jessica Norman, Wright County
Youth Coordinator, said that the Teen
Council kids help wherever they are
needed. They coordinate leadership
type activities, plan the new member
meeting and skating party, present
at the annual Awards Day banquet,
Members of the 4-H Teen Council are (left to right): Kelsie Brodersen, Jane Roberts, Matthew Magee, Jarika

and help set-up and tear-down for
Fun Night. They also act as liaisons
between their club and Teen Council
- bringing back suggestions of
activities and workshops the groups
would like to participate in. Some
even offer workshops themselves
in areas which they excel for junior
members to try. They are also
judges helpers at the 4-H judging
of the fair (any 4-H member can do
this) organize and set up Barnyard
Olympics, and so much more.
“When I first started (as the
Youth Coordinator) I had a lot of
hands-on with Teen Council (for
Barnyard
Olympics)...but
now,
communication judging is on the
same day and is getting bigger every
year and has been running into the
start time of the Olympics, so the
Teen Council kids have had to take
on the full leadership role of that
event,” said Norman, very proud of
the job they have done.
Being on Teen Council offers
yet another experience available
to Wright County youth through
the 4-H program. Teen Council
teaches responsibility, organization,
communications
skills,
and
leadership skills to name only a
few. If these are skills you would
like to develop, or have your child
develop, think about applying for
Teen Council next year. Meeting
days and times change from year-toyear, depending on what works best
for everyone’s’ schedules. Meetings
are usually held once a month. For

Courier-Reminder publisher retires, Mid-America Publishing takes over
Sizzlin Summer Nights
Effective Thursday, July 2, the Ida
County Courier and The Reminder
will be published by a new owner,
Mid-America
Publishing
Corporation based in Hampton.
Mid-America had entered into
an agreement earlier in June 2015
to purchase the publications from
Roger and Karen Rector. The July
7-8 editions will mark the first editions under Mid-America’s stewardship.
“We are very excited to add the Ida
County Courier and the Reminder
to our family of newspapers,” said
Ryan Harvey, president and CEO of
Mid-America Publishing. “Roger
and Karen have done a tremendous
job with the papers over the past few
years and we look forward to continuing to build upon the tradition
that they have established.”
Rector has been associated with
the Reminder and Courier for a total
of 55 years.
The publications will join a growing group of 23 weekly newspapers owned and operated by MidAmerica. The Courier is the ninth
county seat newspaper owned by
the company. They include the
Hampton Chronicle, Butler County
Tribune-Journal (Allison), Wright
County Monitor (Clarion), the
Eldora Herald-Ledger and Hardin
County Index, of Eldora; The
News-Review, of Sigourney; the
Grundy Register, of Grundy Center;
The Graphic-Advocate (Lake CityRockwell City); and The Leader
(Garner-Britt). Other papers owned
and operated by the company include: The Record (Conrad), The
Sheffield Press; The Eagle Grove
Eagle; The Kanawha Reporter;
The Buffalo Center Tribune; The
Pioneer Enterprise (RockwellThornton); The Keota Eagle;
The Clarksville Star; The Ogden
Reporter; the Calmar Courier; The
Postville Herald; The Sun (New
Sharon-Fremont); and The Outlook
(Monona.) The company also produces two weekly political newspapers, the Conservative Chronicle
and the Liberal Opinion Week.
Additionally the company prints
several TMC shoppers, such as
The Hampton Chronicle’s Bonus
in Hampton, The Spectrum in Lake
By Austin Lich
Yet another successful Sizzlin’
Summer Nights went off last
Wednesday, July 1. There were
many stands there. Wyatt Haas
and Katie Wingert from Mojo
Productions played music on their
sound equipment and gave away
free Mojo Productions can coozies.
Next to them was a stand selling hair
salon products and nail polish.
City-Rockwell City, The Leader’s
Shoppers News Review in Garner,
and the Wright County Reminder in
Clarion; plus monthly shoppers such
as The Dual County Leader in Eagle
Grove and the Keokuk County Chief
in Sigourney.
“Terms of the purchase have not
been released. The Ida County publications are a natural fit in our company,” Harvey said. “The backbone of
our company is community-focused
weekly newspapers. We only hope
to build upon the strong foundation
that Roger and Karen have built.”
Harvey will serve as the regional
publisher. Day-to-day operations
will be handled by office manager
Amy Forbes. Forbes, along with the
rest of the staff in Ida Grove, have
been offered employment by MidAmerica.
News editor Beth Wolterman has
chosen to retire from her position
along with the Rectors. Wolterman
has covered area news for the
Courier for the past 31 years. MidAmerica is currently advertising to
fill the Courier’s news editor position.
“Karen and I would like to thank
all our dedicated subscribers, readers and advertisers for your support
and friendship over the years. It has
been a long and amazing career,
and we are confident Mid-America
Publishing will carry on our tradition and make our publications even
stronger in Ida County,” Rector said.
“I would also like to thank my
dedicated staff for their many years
of service to the company. It has
been a huge team effort every single
week, from the planning stages to
the final product,” Rector said.
Mid-America also has a commercial printing division, based in
Hampton, that offers customized
printing and publishing solutions
such as banners, posters, postcards,
direct mailing, mailing list management, letter head design, newsletter
management and dozens of other
marketing and promotional products
which it plans to make available locally in the Ida Grove area.
“We’re more than thrilled to be a
part of Ida Grove and Ida County,”
said Harvey.
Harvey further added that Mid-
The Farmer’s Market also had a
stand selling all kinds of baked and
fresh goodies. They ranged from
bars to veggies. Another stand was
Rochelle’s Pie Stand, she had pies
and homegrown veggies picked that
day for sale.
Next week, Wednesday, July 8,
weather permitting, will be another
Health and Wellness day.
Pictured from left, are: Ryan Harvey, President/CEO of Mid-America
Publishing, and Roger and Karen Rector, the previous owners of the
Ida County Courier-Reminder, in Ida Grove.
America’s interest in Ida Grove is
partly because of the good mix of
businesses operating there including
both new and established industries,
and employers who bring people to
the community.
“A community newspaper is
only as healthy as the community
it serves,” Harvey stated. “It is encouraging to see the commitment
to commerce in Ida Grove over the
long term.”
Matt Grohe, board chair of MidAmerica Publishing added “We
appreciate Roger’s willingness to
working with us to incorporate these
publications into our lineup. We are
very grateful for his consideration
and look forward to serving the
citizens and businesses in Ida Grove
and beyond well into the future.”
The newspaper will stay in its current location at 214 W. Main St. and
will retain the same mailing address,
email addresses and phone number.
Readers of the newspapers will
notice some immediate changes
however. The newspaper’s billing
and circulation will be handled by
the company’s home office staff in
Hampton and additional content will
appear. The printing of the newspaper will also move to the Hampton
facility rather than being printed in
LeMars.
Both the Courier and Reminder
will now be printed on Monday,
rather than Tuesday. The deadline
for all news and display advertising
will be Friday at 3 p.m. The deadline
for all classified advertising will be
Friday at 5 p.m.
In addition, a new-look website
will be launched in the next couple of months, along with a new
Facebook page.

Last week’s Supreme Court
decision is about much more than
equal rights and marriage. It is about
who governs us. Our Founding
Fathers understood what it was like
to be governed by a ruling class
with little input from the average
citizen. We may be tempted to
embrace occasional rule by the
intellectuals if we think they are
promoting our agenda. However,
let’s stop a moment and look at
this from another perspective. We
should be considering other people
are making decisions that affect us
and our families. Shouldn’t we have
some input into matters that affect
us? That is what the Founders of this
country fought for and we should
not allow these liberties to be taken
away from us without a fight. The U.S. Supreme Court has
stripped all Americans of our
freedom to debate and decide
marriage policy through the
democratic process. Too often the
intellectual elite use both the courts
and administrative agencies to rule
this nation in a way that is utterly
inconsistent with the will of the
people. There is a long history of this
that includes the removal of prayer
from schools, removal of displays
of the 10 Commandments in public
places, the Roe v. Wade decision that
declared that a woman has a right to
abortion on demand, and the Iowa
Court’s decision that this state must
recognize same-sex marriage. All of
these happened without any input
from citizens. The role of the Court was intended
to be very limited. Originally it was
supposed to follow the meaning of
our elected officials who wrote and
ratified the law. These laws should
stand as written until new elected
officials go through the proper
process to change the law. The job
of the court is NOT to determine
how society has changed and mold
the law to current sentiment. ALL
that should matter to a judge is the
original meaning of the text. It is the
job of elected officials to make or
change laws. If we stray from that
objective, government of the people,
by the people and for the people, is
in mortal danger. The freedom to democratically
address the important issues of the
day is at the heart of liberty. The
Supreme Court took that freedom
from the people and overrode the
judgment of tens of millions of
Americans who have reaffirmed
marriage as the union of a man and
a woman. The Court has discarded
the understanding of marriage’s
nature and purpose which diverse
cultures and faiths have embraced
for thousands of years. How can we
allow 5 unelected judges to pitch that
out without including the people?
It is time more of the citizens of
this country engage in this battle for
freedom. This is not the end of the
fight. People of faith must stand up
for the truth and reject this decision.
We must become educated about the
political process and elect people
who understand and support the
Constitution. Freedom is not free.
We have let tyranny prevail and we
have done little to stop it. It is up to
us to stand and fight for freedom. The next generation is counting on
us.
Nancy’s Notes
By the time you read this we
will have hosted our first Summer
Reading Program. Blank Park Zoo
was here. They are always a big
hit. Don’t forget we will have three
more programs. Each one will
begin at 1:00 p.m. July 15 we will
feature local community heroes,
July 22 participants will enjoy a
presentation by the Grout Museum
from Waterloo, and our finale will be
a Super Hero party. All who attend
are encouraged to wear the costume
of their favorite hero.
One of our newest novels is
“The Melody Lingers On” by Mary
Higgins Clark. I love her titles as
they usually are a song title. I looked
up this recent addition and found out

Act II of
Happy Birthday Clarion
will be presented in the Community Room
it was named after a song written
by Irving Berlin in 1927. As the
assistant to a famous upscale interior
designer, Lane Harmon, mother to
five-year-old Katie, is accustomed
to visiting affluent homes. When she
is called to assist in redecorating a
modest townhouse she knows the job
is unusual. Then she learns the home
belongs to the wife of a notorious and
disgraced financier named Parker
Bennett who has been missing for
two years. He dropped out of sight
just before it was discovered that
the $5 billion dollars in the fund he
had been managing had vanished.
Bennett had gone out on his sailboat
in the Caribbean. Was it suicide or
had he staged his disappearance?

The scandal around his name has
not died down. His clients and the
federal government all want to trace
the money and find Bennett if he is
still alive. Lane doesn’t know that
the closer she gets to the Bennetts,
the more she puts her life, and her
daughter’s life, in jeopardy.
If you are ready for some
suspense, try “Remember Me This
Way” by Sabine Durrant. A year after
her husband Zach’s death, Lizzie
goes to lay flowers where his fatal
accident took place. As she makes
her way along the road, she thinks
about their life together. Lizzie
wonders whether she has changed
since Zach died. Will she ever feel
whole again? At last she reaches
the spot. And there, tied to a tree,
is a bunch of lilies. The flowers are
addressed to her husband. Someone
has been there before her. Who is
this Zenia? As Lizzie learns more
about her husband’s past she begins
to realize that maybe she didn’t
know him at all.

A glimpse at the 4-H Clubs of Wright County
by Kim demory
What makes the Wright County
Fair the Wright County Fair? All
the amazing exhibits, ranging
from animals, arts and crafts,
woodworking, sewing, photography,
baking, horticulture...and the list just
goes on and on. The reason there
are so many of these projects from
youth around the area is thanks to
their involvement in Wright County
4-H Clubs.
4-H got its start between the
years of 1890 and 1900. O. H. Benson
in Wright County was among several
Iowa county school superintendents
who were considered pioneers
(1906) in the club organization and
heavily promoted “club” work. The
organization has continued to grow
over the years, and today, Wright
County is proud to be home to seven
different 4-H Clubs.
Iowa Hawkeyes
The Iowa Hawkeyes are 20 members strong. Based out of Belmond, the
group is led by Karla Pals (16 years), her daughter Sara Goemaat, and Sara’s
sister-in law, Brittany Goemaat.
“We have a great group of kids and a great group of parents,” said Pals.
“They have been working hard on their booth (backdrop for the Fair) and
they are pretty excited about it.”
Since the club doesn’t have many farm families, most of the kids focus
their attention on Exhibit Building displays. There are some, however, that
have poultry to show. In light of this year’s avian bird flu, that will obviously
change.
“But I don’t think any of them have given up on it (and may look at doing
something different with birds), said Pals.
One of the club’s most memorable moments of the year was having a
meal together and then going Christmas caroling at the local care center,
assisted living, at the hospital, and at the community apartments.
“I think the kids really get into that. They have smiles on their faces
when they see how people are enjoying their visit,” said Pals.
Other community service programs they do throughout the year include:
Taking tags from the Giving Tree at Christmas time to purchase gifts for
kids; helping pack summer meals for under privileged children who receive
free school lunches during the school year; and recycling aluminum cans
from the “can cage” (rotates between them and the Pleasant Progressors 4-H
Club) and giving the money to 4th of July fireworks and the Santa House
projects.
The club also
does a beef cookout
and bake sale as a
fundraiser
each
May.
“That keeps us
going through-out
the year,” said Pals.
Other
fun
activities include a
hayride/cookout/
2014 Share the Fun act
bonfire each fall
to welcome new
club
members,
participating in Fun Nite activities, and doing “Bucket of Flowers” for the
fair with Larry Turner of Winding Creek Gardens.
The Iowa Hawkeyes meet once a month of varying days. At the first
meeting of the year, they look at the calendar and try to set the most available
days for meetings to allow kids in other activities to be involved in 4-H.
“We do it so we can be accessible to kids that have set agendas on certain
nights,” said Pals.
The Wright Warriors group is based out of Eagle Grove. With 31 members, they are the largest club in
the county.
The group has been under the leadership of Phyllis Larson for the past 10 years. She is happy to announce
that Allison and Bryan Whaley will be joining her as leaders for the 2015 - 2016 4-H year.
With a large number of members, there is always a large variety of projects exhibited at the Wright County
Fair from this group. Be sure to stop by their booth at the Exhibit Building to see all of their hard work. You
will also be able to find several of them modeling outfits at the Fashion Revue and performing in the Share the
Fun Talent Show on Thursday, July 9 beginning at 7 p.m.
The Wright Warriors are also very active throughout the year in the community. Some highlights include an
annual Family Meal featuring a different country (this year it was Italian), Christmas caroling at Rotary Senior
Living, adopting a HOPES family, and visits to Rotary Senior Living to name a few that have been popular the
last couple of years. They have also made teacher bags to give out during the annual Red Apple Luncheon,
made surgery caps, and
supported member projects like
Leader Dogs and Pillowcases for
soldiers.
The Wright Warriors meet
the second Saturday of the
month at 10 a.m. in the basement
of Samuel Lutheran Church in
Eagle Grove.
“I encourage people to come
see our Exhibits and animal
projects. Come have lunch with
us at the 4-H food stand, too,”
said Larson.
Some of the members at the annual Awards Day
Lake Clovers
The Lake Clovers are under the direction of Melissa Hackley (four
years) and currently have 19 members. They meet the second Sunday
of every month at 4 p.m. in the Clarion Library.
The Lake Clovers are once again looking forward to participating
in Share the Fun at the 2015 Wright County Fair. Last year, their Share
the Fun skit earned them a trip to the Iowa State Fair. It was one of the
highlights of their year.
“It was memorable for the girls and myself all getting to go together
and perform,” said Hackley.
They are hoping this year’s skit will earn them a repeat visit.
Something new the group tried this year was woodworking. A
workshop was held, where, with a little help, they completed four Hannah Kapka 2014 Fair
wooden benches that they have donated to the Wright County Fair
which will be placed by the free stage area.
“It was a new experience for the girls to do woodworking,” Hackley said.
Although the girls didn’t actually do the cutting, they did do all of the rest of the work.
“It gave them a new perspective,” Hackley added.
Be sure to check out the many projects they have prepared for this year’s fair, including exhibits and animals.
Phoebe Sanders - 2014 Fair
Not all of them have a swine project
anymore, but they still represent a
strong presence in the project area.
“We take great pride in barn
herdsmanship and having the largest
percentage of pigs and cattle at the
fair from our club,” said Swanson.
Each year, the club takes an
industry tour to learn more about the
swine industry. This has included
tours of farms, boar studs, ISU meat
lab and Vet school, Hormel foods,
etc. This year, they also conducted a
pig autopsy during FSQA training.
The Wright County P.I.G. club
is proud to give back to the fair by
having cleaned the swine barn and
show arena before the fair.
If you are interested in showing
or learning more about swine, or
would like to become a member of
the club, they meet the first Sunday
of every month at 1 p.m. at the
Swanson home.

The Clarion Post of the American
Legion at its meeting on Wednesday
evening of this week adopted a
resolution to initiate a movement
to either purchase or erect a Legion
building in Clarion. A campaign
to raise funds for this purpose will
start soon. The Legion now has over
$2,800.00 in its building fund.
Now that the City of Clarion and
the cooperating farmers surrounding
the city have carried on a program of
rat control it should be pointed out
that one of the best ways to keep the
rat population down is to clean up all
rat harbors. These include piles of
old boards, fence posts, scrap iron,
cans, woven wire, hay, straw, corn
cobs, manure, etc.
All books and records of the City
of Clarion for the fiscal year, April 1,
1944, to March 31, 1945, were found
“Well kept and in order,” an audit
recently contemplated by a state
examiner revealed. A copy of the
report submitted by the examiner, W.
J. Lee, to State Auditor C. B. Akers
has been received by the city council

Lila Darlene Mason, daughter of

was born May 2, 1930 in Clarion.
Lila was raised and educated in
Clarion, graduating from Clarion
High School in 1949.
On April 10, 1953 Lila was united
in marriage to Richard Amonson
at the Methodist Church in Eagle
Grove. To this union two daughters
were born.
Lila worked as an operator at the
Northwestern Bell telephone office
in Clarion from 1953 until they
went to dial telephones. When the
office closed, Richard bought Lila
and himself new Schwinn bikes, and
they biked every day they could for
many years.
Lila was a Mom first and
foremost. She worked part time at
Evans Kay Lumber when the girls
started school. In later years she
worked full time for Evans Lumber
& Construction. Those years totaled
38.
Lila enjoyed roller skating and
received a new pair of skates when
she turned 50. Lila also enjoyed
all her nieces and nephews at
family reunions. When her two
grandchildren were born, she was
thrilled “to the moon” and back.
She made almost every event they
participated in.

Loss Specialists Celebrating
First Year in Partnership
Iowa Specialty Hospitals &
Clinics is proudly celebrating their
one year anniversary with partners
Iowa Weight Loss Specialists.
To date, over 150 gastric sleeve
operations have been performed as a
result of this partnership.
Iowa Weight Loss Specialists
sees patients at both Iowa Specialty
Hospital in Belmond and their West
Des Moines location. Options for
patients include medical weight
loss which combines consultations
with medical providers, diet and
exercise planning, and prescription
weight loss medication, if necessary.
In addition, surgical weight loss
using the gastric sleeve method is
available. The Laparoscopic Sleeve
Gastrectomy removes between 70 –
80% of a patient’s stomach which
suppresses the appetite and controls
portion sizes. This procedure also
removes the hunger hormone,
grehlin, causing the patient to no
longer feel hunger.
“Our partnership with Iowa
Weight Loss Specialists allows
us to bring more options to our
patients,” stated Amy McDaniel,
Belmond CEO. “We’re pleased to
work directly with them to help our
patients reduce health complications
and achieve a healthier lifestyle.”

Becoming Clarion
Mosaic has been serving people with
intellectual needs in Wright County
for 40-plus years
By Karen Weld, Monitor Contributing Writer
While the names of the business
serving people with intellectual
needs in Wright County has changed
a number of times in its more than
forty years in existence, the care
being given those people has
remained the same. Mosaic has been
the name since 2012.
programming during the summer
months,” said Russell. At that time,
the service was known as Wright
County Opportunities, operating
weekdays from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Marybeth Russell, Associate Director and COO for Mosaic, is shown
giving a prize to Marilyn Howieson for suggesting the name-change to
Opportunities Unlimited (changed from Wright County Opportunities).
Mosaic has undergone several name changes in its more than forty years
of existence. Russell has been part of the organization nearly from its
beginning.
In the beginning
Marybeth Russell, Associate
Director and COO for the agency,
has been part of the work for 34
years, beginning in October 11981.
“It was in 1971 when area parents
pulled together; going to the Wright
County Board of Supervisors
for their support,” she said. The
group incorporated the next year
and began its services at the ‘old’
Catholic School basement in Clarion
using volunteers, and serving twelve
individuals.
At the beginning, the activity
center operated only during the
school cycle, taking holidays off.
“We would have some in-home
Ongoing location
and name changes
Services and locations continued
to grow and change as the years
progressed. “In 1979, Wright
County Opportunities moved to 114
– 1st Street S.W. in Clarion,” said
Russell. “The building is across the
street from city hall and is now used
as a training center for Lifetouch
Studios.”
Next came the building and
operating of residential homes. In
1992 two homes opened in Belmond.
Ground was broken for two homes
in southeast Clarion in 1993 with
homes being occupied beginning
in 1994. “That is when we became
fully-licensed ICF (intermediate care
facilities), successfully providing
twenty-four-hour-per-day care for
those needing it,” said Russell. It
was also 1992 when Wright County
Opportunities name was changed to
Unlimited Opportunities.
In 1993, the new building at 210
– 2nd Street N.W. became the new
‘home’ of for the people in need of
supported services. Ten years later
in 2003, Unlimited Opportunities
merged with North Central Human
Services based in Forest City to
become Krysilis. Since 2007, Krys
Korner, just off the northeast corner
of the Wright County Courthouse, is
a used items retail facility operated
by the staff and those being served.
Inside Krys Korner is the Book
Nook, a business being operated
by one person supported by Mosaic
initiatives.
Brent Alberg, Executive Director
for Mosaic in North Central Iowa,
said Krysilis became Mosaic in
2012. “We are now part of a much
wider organization.” The North
Central Iowa portion of Mosaic
has locations in Clarion, Belmond,
Eagle Grove, Webster City, Forest
City, and Nevada.
Serving people
yesterday and today
While locations and names have
changed, leadership commitment
to the people who are being served
remains the same. Sarah Holmes,
Community Relations Manager,
said, “Today we have more than
70 people being supported by our
services.” Mosaic currently employs
125 people in Wright County.
Alberg said, “One of the biggest
changes has been becoming a
licensed residential-based program
and moving to a community-based
program. Where people work also
continues to change. A young man
being served by us twenty years ago,
may have limited outside service.
Nowadays, that same young man
might rent his own house or work
at a restaurant. He might have more
choices for his own life.”
Holmes agreed. “The direction
of people who we serve make a
lot more of their own life choices
Krysilis (now Mosaic) had its groundbreaking ceremony for its 5100 square foot addition to its vocational
center. Both staff and people with intellectual disabilities who were being served by the facility at that time,
are pictured.
to make each of their lives more
meaningful,” she said. People might
volunteer at a day care centers or
care center. An individual might be
found at the public library doing
various ‘mission’ tasks.
Chris Stockseth, Habilitative
Coordinator, said, “Part of our work
is teaching skills building such as
managing foods and cooking here
at the facility. We work on peer
relationships. Just recently we
made the buttons for the Wright
County Fair. Sometimes we make
pillowcases for the Aaron Eilerts
Pillowcase Foundation.” A therapy
pool and a greenhouse are also
used for training and work. Daily
programming begins at 8:15 each
morning and concludes at 2:30 p.m.
Moving forward
Alberg said, “The people who we
serve are making more and more of
their own choices, setting their own
goals, and figuring out their own
outcomes. They choose where to live
or maybe where to take a vacation.”
He said currently ‘Voices of Mosaic’
is an advocacy group run by twentyfive of the people with intellectual
disabilities.
There are three catch words: Experiences. Exposure. Education.
One successful outcome from
those ‘voices’ was a spring formal
(aka Prom) which was held earlier
this spring at the Goldfield School.
Holmes said, “More than 140
people attend. It included a supper, a
dance, and photos.” She said it was
good to have the community help.
Patty LaRue took photos and Willis
Soesbe provided the DJ services for
the dance.
Alberg said, “In a nutshell, we
continue to look for more job and
vocational opportunities. We look
for more volunteer possibilities and
for people willing to volunteer to
work with us. We look for affordable
housing. We want to be active
participants in the communities
which we serve.”
Something new being attempted at Mosaic this spring is planting garden vegetables in bales of straw. Pictured
from left are Sarah Holmes, Community Relations Manager; Chris Stockseth, Habilitative Coordinator; and
Mary Hammen, Direct Support Day Services Associate. The garden is connected with the Mosaic Greenhouse.

Picnic-Wiches With Greek Artichoke-Beet Relish
FAMILY FEATURES
P
erk up your next picnic with these deliciously different sandwiches and salads that are super easy to prepare, plus they can be made ahead.
Condiments make the difference between a good sandwich and a great
sandwich. Grab a jar of sliced pickled beets, the sweet-tangy homemade flavor
makes them a perfect base for quick relish to embellish all kinds of sandwiches.
For a Greek-inspired relish, chop and toss the beets with marinated artichoke
hearts and olives. Add to a basic turkey sandwich for a gourmet twist. Wrap
up brunch favorites smoked salmon and cream cheese in a flour tortilla with a
chopped pickled beet-red onion-caper relish. Delicious any time!
Pantry staples, such as 3- or 4-bean salad and German potato salad, are handy
head starts to fabulous salads. A can of bean salad, cooked tortellini, veggies and
basil pesto make a picnic-perfect salad in minutes. German potato salad paired
with grainy mustard and sliced steak becomes a rustic entree salad to serve atop
convenient packaged greens.
Patio party or potluck in the park, these new picnic picks will bring compliments.

Conservation Funding
Available in Targeted Iowa Watersheds
Partnership project targets watersheds to help accelerate the installation and adoption of effective nutrient and
sediment loss reduction practices.
Private landowners in nine Iowa
watersheds that cover portions of 19
counties have until July 17 to sign
up for conservation practices to help
reduce nutrient loading in focus
watersheds across the state.
Through
the
Regional
Conservation Partnership Program
(RCPP), USDA’s Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) is
offering higher than normal payment
rates on conservation practices such
as cover crops, grassed waterways,
nutrient management, and terraces.
“There are more than a dozen
conservation practices available for
adoption through this sign-up,” says
Paul Goldsmith, who coordinates
RCPP for NRCS in Iowa. “We
are offering higher payment rates
through RCPP than we do for most
of our other programs.”
The nine selected watersheds
currently have water quality
improvement projects. Goldsmith
says the assistance through RCPP
will help build momentum toward
completing those efforts. Private
landowners in the following
watersheds are eligible:
· West Branch of the Floyd
River (Sioux County)
· Deep Creek (Plymouth
County)
· Boone River 1 (Kossuth,
Hancock,
Humboldt,
Wright Counties)
· Boone River 2 (Wright,
Hamilton Counties)
· Central
Turkey
River
(Chickasaw, Winneshiek,
Fayette Counties)
· Upper
Robert’s
Creek/
West and Silver Creek
(Allamakee,
Clayton
Counties)
· West Fork Crooked Creek
(Keokuk,
Washington
Counties)
· Cedar
Creek
(Keokuk,
Wapello,
Jefferson
Counties)
· Lower Skunk (Jefferson,
Henry, Van Buren, Lee
Counties)
Goldsmith
says
interested
participants should visit their local
NRCS office as soon as possible.
To learn more about technical
and financial assistance available
through other NRCS programs, visit

Cowgirls drop close game with Eagles 6-5 Cowboys win three games in past week
Rector, Reiter smack doubles
Waters a triple, two doubles, four RBI in two of the wins
By Les Houser
In a game not reported on last
week, the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows
varsity softball team dropped an
8-3 game at Hampton-Dumont.
The Bulldogs were up 4-0 after one
inning, with the Cowgirls getting on
the board in their half of the third
frame. Sydney TerHark led off
that inning with a base hit, and was
replaced with courtesy runner Maya
Jackson. A Maddie Disney single
pushed Jackson to third, and she
would then score the first Cowgirl
run. Both Hannah Kapka and Disney
would also come home before the
inning was over.
Kapka, Disney, Rilley Ring Foss
and Chloe Johnson all had a base
hit each, with Ring Foss getting two
Emma Konvalinka tries to connect
her bat to the ball versus Eagle
Grove. The sophomore had a sac
fly to later set up a run.
Cowgirl sophomore Michey Reiter
tries for a base hit in the game at
Eagle Grove. She finished 2 for 4
with a double and an RBI in the
close loss.
RBI and Disney one run driven in.
Foss and Johnson both drew a free
pass to first. Sydney took the loss in
the circle, giving up two earned runs
on seven hits with three walks and
three K’s.
The Cowgirls and Eagle Grove
Eagles staged a good, competitive
game last Tuesday in Eagle Grove,
which resulted in a close 6-5 loss
for the red and black. The Cowgirls
exploded for five scores in the fifth
to take a 5-2 lead. Hannah TerHark
reached on a single, with Jackson
coming in for her on the base paths.
An Emma Konvalinka sac fly pushed
Jackson to second, from where she
scored on a Maycie Rector double
to center. A Disney base hit pushed
Rector to third, followed by Ring
Foss reaching on an error to score
her. A Lexy Gatewood single scored
Disney, followed by a Michy Reiter
double smash bringing courtesy
runner Karlie Sellner in. Gatewood
also scored on a ground ball before
the inning was over. The Eagles tied
the score in the sixth, then pushed
across what would be the winning
run in their final at-bat.
Both Rector and Reiter were 2
for 4 with a double each, and both
also had an RBI each. Gatewood and
Johnson both went 2 for 4 as well,
with Lexy adding an RBI to her final
line. Disney and H. TerHark both
had base hits. Gatewood also had a
steal.
Sydney pitched five innings,
giving up two earned on six hits
with no walks and two K’s. Johnson
pitched 1 2/3 innings, allowing one
earned with one strikeout.
On Wednesday, the team ended
their season schedule with a 7-0
home loss to Iowa Falls-Alden.
Johnson and Gatewood got the
only two Cowgirl hits, both singles,
with Gatewood also getting a steal.
Sydney took the loss, but gave up no
earned and had eight K’s.
The
team
enters
regional
tournament play with a 4-15 overall
record.
Tanner Abbas gets some playing
time in the game at Eagle Grove.
Will Weidemann takes his turn
as a courtesy runner in the game
at Eagle Grove. The team put
together a decent week, with three
wins, as they prepare for districts
this weekend.
Maddie Disney had a base hit
in each of the games versus the
Bulldogs and the Eagles, and
crossed the plate a couple of times
last week.

By Les Houser
Last Tuesday in Eagle Grove,
the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows varsity
baseball team took care of the Eagles
12-7 in a wild game. The red and
black plated two runs in their half
of the second, then saw the home
team take a 5-2 advantage after five
complete frames. The Cowboys
erupted for a seven-run sixth, then
tacked on three additional scores
in the seventh, to decide the final
outcome.
Jacob O’Connor ripped a double
to left in that second inning to score
in penalties for a score of 4.568.
Second went to Townsend with 170
points in 38.79. He had no penalties
for a score of 4.382.
The next event is set for Sunday,
July 26. New shooters, either novice
or experienced, are always welcome.

Jacob Harvey. Jarrod Littlejohn
reached one batter later, scoring Eryn
Ulven. In the sixth, a Littlejohn walk
loaded the bags followed by Cody
Kapka showing patience in drawing
a free pass. With no place to put him,
Bryce Hamilton scored a run to start
the barrage. A Trenton Sann single
scored O’Connor, followed by a
Waters base hit to score Littlejohn.
Harvey advanced after being hit by
a pitch, which then scored Kapka,
followed by a Brendon Boyd single
to bring Sann home. Waters and
Harvey also crossed the dish before
the inning was over. With the bases
loaded again in the seventh, Waters
stepped calmly to the plate and
blasted a three-run triple to score
Littlejohn, Kapka and Sann.
Waters finished 3 for 5, with the
triple, four RBI and a run scored
himself. Sann went 4 for 5 with an
RBI and two runs scored. Littlejohn

Littlejohn in that order.
Littlejohn was 3 for 4, including
a double and triple, with one

including a double, with two RBI.
Sann was 2 for 4 with an RBI and a

Sann posted the win, going the

throws well and made us work for
what we got. We played pretty solid,
with another good non-league win.”
The team is 8-13 overall, and

was 3 for 4, including a double,
with an RBI and two runs scored.
O’Connor was 2 for 4, including
a double, with two RBI and a run
scored. Kapka reached on a double
for his lone base hit, and had an RBI
while crossing the dish twice. Boyd
finished with a base hit and two RBI.
Harvey scored two runs and drove
in one, while Ulven and Hamilton
each scored once. Kapka, Harvey
and Ulven all showed a good eye in
drawing two walks each. Littlejohn,
Boyd and O’Connor each got one
free pass to first.
Boyd picked up the win on the
hill, allowing just four earned runs
on 10 hits with four walks and five
K’s in five innings of work. Kapka
had two strikeouts in one inning,
while Waters managed three K’s in
one inning of duty.
“This was a good win for us, in
what is always an intense game with
the Eagles,” said head coach Jason
Berning. “We hit the ball pretty well,
and have been playing that way
the last couple of weeks. We keep
grinding it out, and not giving up,
to keep giving ourselves a chance
right to the last out. Waters and Sann
had big nights at the plate, and Boyd
pitched his fourth non-conference
win.”
In a home doubleheader last
Wednesday with Iowa Falls-Alden,
the Cowboys took the opener 8-2
with the Cadets coming back with a
5-2 win in the nightcap. The red and
black started strong out of the gate,
plating three runs in their half of the
first inning. Waters ripped a double
to left to score Littlejohn, followed
one batter later by an Ulven base
hit bringing Hamilton home. Waters
also scored before it was over. Boyd
brought Hamilton home in the third,
followed by three more scores in
the fourth. That started with a Sann
single scoring Calen Rosenbaum,
followed by Waters keeping his hot
bat going with a double bagger to
score both Littlejohn and Hamilton.
Kapka tacked on the final run in the
sixth.
Waters finished 2 for 3, both
doubles, with three RBI and one
run scored himself. Sann was 2 for
4 with an RBI. Ulven single and had
two RBI, with Littlejohn, Kapka,
Boyd and Rosenbaum all getting
one base hit apiece. Boyd was also
credited with an RBI. Bryce would
score three times, Jarrod twice and
Cody and Calen once each. Waters
and Ulven both drew a walk.
Waters notched the win on the
mound, going the distance in
allowing just two earned on a fourhitter. He walked only three and
flamed six K’s across the plate.
“Kenton gave us a tremendous
pitching effort,” said Berning. “He
held them in check to get us our first
conference win.”
In game two, the Cowboys brought
in single runs in both the third and
fifth innings. Rosenbaum scored first
on a sac fly by Sann, followed later
by Waters coming home on a Harvey
single. Kapka, Waters and Harvey
all had a base hit each, with Sann
and Harvey getting the RBI each.
Kapka, Sann, Ulven and Rosenbaum
all drew a free pass to first each.
Kapka took the loss, giving up
four earned on seven hits with five
walks and five K’s.
“We faced a hard-throwing pitcher
who mixed up his pitches on us,” said
the head skipper. “We still played
improved baseball, but couldn’t get
much going against him. We were
solid in this game.”
Last Friday, the red and black
posted their eighth win of the season
in a 5-0 victory over Northeast
Hamilton. They used a two-run first
inning as a springboard, courtesy of
Harvey who stepped into the box
and delivered a double to center to

From the Korner
The fourth of July weekend is
almost over. I hope you had a good
one. I was pretty quiet. Watched
some good programs on TV and
relaxed.
Last Tuesday Norma and I
went on a visiting trip. We went to
Mason to the IOOF Center to visit
her sister Shirley K. and found her
in good shape. We visited with
her till she had to go to therapy.
We then left there and went to the
hospital to see Shirley Hograbe who
was recovering from pneumonia. I
understand she is back at Sheffield
now. Then we had lunch and off to
the shoe store to buy some shoes for
each of us. We stopped in Sheffield
on the way home to see Bob H and
report on Shirley. Then we stopped
at Nora’s sister, Nadine to tell her
about Shirley K. We finally got
home--and were two tired puppies.
The rest of the week was spent
just doing the work, etc.
Went to church today and came
home. Marlea was gone to her
daughter’s till Friday. She got word
that her grandson had an injury at
work and hurt his hand. She hasn’t
heard a recent report.
There was a bad motorcycle
accident down by Dudley’s last
week. I don’t know the details, but
it was bad.
Alex comes driving in on his
motorcycle this afternoon and I get
a little nervous, but he seems to get
along fine.
My news is not much, but we
will soon be in the midst of the
presidential campaign.
I really
wonder why anyone would want
to be head of this nation. It is
a wonderful place to live but I
wouldn’t want to govern it.
I guess our next holiday will be
Corn Days. It will be here before we
know it.
Since I am short of things to
write about, I will close until next
time. Have a great week. MK

Bucket of Junk
Sculptures Up for Auction
Franklin County 4-H members
had the opportunity to learn how
to construct a sculpture or lawn
ornament with the help of an
adult mentor by participating in
the “Bucket of Junk for Charity”
challenge class.
Each team was made up of one
4-H member and one adult. Each
team got one bucket. Each bucket
had similar “junk” pieces of metal.
There are only 10 buckets in the
contest. Buckets were handed out on
April 18.
The goal was to use the items in
the bucket to create a sculpture or
lawn art piece that will be auctioned
off for charity. Participants will be
asked to name the creation when
turned for exhibit at the Franklin
County Fair, July 14. Participants
could clean, sand, weld, glue, cut,
bolt, fasten, bend, shape, paint, or
finish the items provided, but no
pieces may be added. Each team
must use approximately 75% of the
materials provided. Entries will be
judged on artistic merit, technical
merit, and the member’s exhibit
write-up responding to: What did
you plan to learn or do? What steps
did you take to learn or do this?
and What were the most important
things you learned?
The finished sculptures will be
silent auctioned off; proceeds will
go to the Franklin County Relay for
Life. Silent auction runs through
Saturday, Jul. 18 of the fair at noon.
Top bids are to make checks out to
American Cancer Society, and can
pick up sculptures at release time,
Sunday of fair. Contest sponsored
by Sukup Manufacturing Company,
Sheffield, IA.

Yard and Garden:
Successfully Maintaining Summer Fruit and Vegetable Plants
By Richard Jauron, Kendall Evans
The summer months are the
perfect time to enjoy homegrown
fruits
and
vegetables.
With
varying weather and temperature,
maintaining healthy fruit and
vegetable plants can sometimes be
a struggle. Here are some tips from
Iowa State University Extension
and Outreach horticulturists on how
to properly maintain fruit plants in
the summer months to ensure high
fruit production. To have additional
questions answered, contact the
ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or at
hortline@iastate.edu.
My cucumber plants are blooming
heavily, but aren’t producing many
fruit. Why?
Cucumbers and other vine crops
are monoecious. Monoecious plants
have separate male and female
flowers on the same plant. Male
and female flowers are similar in
appearance. However, the female
flowers have small, immature fruits
at their base. Pollen is transferred
from the male to the female flowers
by bees and other pollinators.
When
properly
pollinated
and fertilized, the female flowers
develop into fruit. The first flowers
to appear on cucumbers and other
vine crops are predominately male.
As a result, fruit production is poor
when the vines first begin to flower.
The cucumber vines should start
producing a good crop within a
few weeks as the number of female
flowers increases.
Poor weather and the use of
insecticides can also affect fruit set
on cucumbers. Cool, rainy weather
during bloom reduces bee activity.
Fewer bees visiting the garden can
result in poor pollination and a poor
fruit set. Apply insecticides in the
garden only when necessary to avoid
harming bees and other pollinators.
My tomato plants are flowering,
but aren’t setting fruit. Why?
Unfavorable weather conditions
are the primary reason for
blossom drop in tomatoes. High
daytime
temperatures,
above
85 degrees Fahrenheit, and low
nighttime temperatures, below 55
degrees Fahrenheit, interfere with
pollination, causing blossom drop.
Optimal growing conditions for
tomatoes are daytime temperatures
of 70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cherry tomatoes set fruit over a

My hot peppers are setting fruit,
but not my bell peppers. Why?
In regards to fruit set, bell peppers
are more sensitive to temperatures
than tomatoes. The optimum
temperature range for flowering and
fruit set on bell peppers is between
70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot
peppers tolerate high temperatures
much better than bell peppers and
often produce fruit in hot weather.

Clarion-Goldfield-Dows High School receives
$9,514 grant for classroom technology upgrades
As the demand for science,
technology,
engineering
and
mathematics (STEM) education
increases, schools like ClarionGoldfield-Dows High School have
begun integrating more technology
into classrooms. Employees from
the Monsanto Clarion soybean
production site selected ClarionGoldfield-Dows
High
School
to receive a $9,514 grant from
the Monsanto Fund’s 2015 site
grant initiative to help purchase
new tech enhancements for their
classes. Representatives from the
organization and the fund celebrated
the grant with a check presentation
on July 1.
Funds from the grant will be
used to purchase a 3-D printer,
Lego Mindstorm Ev3 robot kits and
video software that will be utilized
by students. This equipment will
help students engage in lessons
relating to STEM education and
will complement the school’s recent
focus on technology integration in
the classroom.
“We want to get more students
interested in technology-related
career fields by allowing them to
see what is available in the industry
now,” said Trish Rosauer-Hamski,
chemistry and physics teacher at the
school. “I’m excited to have more
equipment for students to use in the
STEM courses and compete with in
the IT-Olympics in April.”
Clarion-Goldfield-Dows High
School students and teachers have
worked with Clarion site employees
in the past to secure funds for similar
technology and classroom updates.
However, this is the first time the
King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table are focused on their quest for the Holy Grail in a scene from
Webster City Community Theatre’s production of “Monty Python’s SPAMALOT.” From left to right: Sam
Ose of Williams as Sir Lancelot, Andrew Wotherspoon as Sir Galahad, Mark Andrew as King Arthur, Mikey
Paisley as Sir Bedevere, and Dave Borer as Sir Robin.

“We are always willing to
assist teachers in educating our
youth through new technologies,”
said Greg Chapman, Clarion site
lead. “It’s important that teachers
There’s No Place Like Home...
Especially when it’s
and students are exposed to the
newest technologies in order to
stay competitive in today’s rapidly
changing technology environment.”
This year, the Monsanto Fund
awarded more than $1.2 million to
nonprofit organizations through the
site grant initiative to help address
essential needs in rural communities.
Schools across the country have
received over $11.6 million from the
fund since 2010.
“It is very pleasant living at
The Meadows. The staff and other
residents are friendly. It is well-run and
organized. I am very comfortable here.
My favorite activity is playing bingo and
visiting outside with my neighbors.”

Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. The
book and lyrics were written by Eric
Idle while the music was composed
by John Du Prez and Eric Idle for the
theatrical version.
Appearing as King Arthur of
Britain is Mark Andrew. His Knights
of the Round Table are Sam Ose (Sir
Lancelot), Dave Borer (Sir Robin),

of the Lake, is surrounded by her
