Newly hired Eagle Grove Elementary
Principal Joe Erickson was introduced
to the Board of Education during their
meeting last Monday, June 9. He will
replace the departing Mike Kruger, who
will be with the Northeast Hamilton
School District starting this fall.
“I eagerly look forward to getting
started and meeting everyone,” said
Erickson. Watch for an article about him
in an upcoming issue of the Eagle.
In communications and celebrations
reports from the building principals,
Kruger highlighted staff changes taking
place for next school year. “Most staff
will remain fairly consistent, but I have
moved a few people due to openings that
I feel will make our elementary stronger
as a whole by improving our teams
approach,” said Kruger. Those staff reassignments include Jen Conaway (1st
Grade), Beth Nelson (2nd Grade) and
Jennifer Lenane (3rd Grade). They are
still looking for a new special ed teacher,
and need to hire a couple of associates
to replace Pat Thomason (retiring) and
Misty Pickering (transferring to the high
school).
Kruger reported that they are
averaging 64 students for breakfast, and
166 for lunch, as the summer nutrition
program gets underway. “That is
currently way up from past years, and I
want to continue to encourage students
to come in and enjoy a good breakfast
and/or lunch anytime,” said Kruger.
Summer School starts this week, and
Kruger has identified about 20 students
in kindergarten thru 3rd grade for that
program. He also expressed appreciation
for the two grants received from the
Wright County Charitable Foundation.
$2,300 was granted for providing crisis
buckets and other security items, while
another $300 was given to help offset
the costs of free activity passes for the
students.

Remembering
the Korean War
thIs
week’s
eagle
Kwon to speak at Eagle Grove Memorial Library
By KIM dEMoRy
egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net
It’s been referred to as “The
forgotten war,” but Jack Kwon,
born and raised in South Korea,
and now living in Eagle Grove,
is doing his best to make sure
people remember the Korean
War and the men and women
who fought it.
Kwon will be giving a
Korean War Presentation on
June 25, 2014 (which is the 64th
Anniversary of the start of the
Korean War) at the Eagle Grove
Memorial Library beginning at
6:30 p.m. While the purpose of
the program is to honor Korean
War Veterans, Kwon would
like to invite all interested
individuals to come and listen,
learn, and remember.
“I would like to introduce
Korea, give a background of
the war, war processing and the
U.S. involvement, casualties
(5.5 million - which is more
than the current population of
Iowa), tension between North
an South Korea after the truce,
and development of South Korea
from devastated land after the
war,” Kwon said.
Kwon’s presentation has
condensed three years of the war
into roughly one hour of slides,
movies, and interesting facts.
He will talk about the United
States’ relationship with Korea, a
comparison of North and South
Korea, the establishment of the
Communist Party in the North,
open fire to the South on June
25, 1950, the intervention of the
UN, intervention of Chinese
Communist forces, and so much
more.
He will also talk about
Korean War casualty numbers,
economic loss, and the effect
of the Korean War on world
politics.
“It wasn’t a regional or a civil
war…it was a world war,” Kwon
said, considering 16 countries
deployed soldiers to South Korea
under the United Nations name.

Kwon
has
given
this
presentation twice before, both
times in Wisconsin in 2012. He
has modified it to make it more
relevant to the Eagle Grove area
now. One of the reasons he was
inspired to put the presentation
together in the first place was
because of a close friend who was
a Korean War veteran who said
he wasn’t even sure why the war
happened. Kwon wanted to give
him, and others, the answers.
Born during the Korean War,
Kwon has learned all his life about
communism and why it happened.
So when an opportunity came
up for him to move to the United
States in 1998, he took it. His son
had previously studied in Arizona
and loved it. Combine that firsthand experience with the fact that
there were more opportunities in
America, Kwon made the move.
Now, he is hoping to give back to
an America that has done so much
for him and his homeland, by
educating people about the War,
honoring American Veterans, and
pursuing world peace.
Kwon will also be accepting
questions at the end of his
presentation.
So, if there is
something specific you would like
to know, about the war, Korea, or
related matters, please feel free to
ask him.
What do you want
to know about
Eagle Grove’s past?
Newspaper archives now available online
By KIM dEMoRy
Have you ever been curious what the front page news of the Eagle
Grove area was back in the late 1800s? Are you looking for ancestors from
the Eagle Grove area? Are you interested in the business district from years
gone by? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then have we got
news for you!
The Eagle Grove Eagle and the Eagle Grove Memorial Library are
proud to announce they have partnered together to bring the past and
present into the future - of technology, that is. Digital archives (dating back
as far as 1882) of the Eagle Grove Eagle, Times Gazette, Goldfield Gazett,
Goldfield Chronicle, Boone Valley Gazette, Eagle Grove Times Gazette,
Eagle Grove Times, Goldfield Booster, Evening Times, and Woolstock
News are now available for your free access at http://eaglegrove.advantagepreservation.com.
“We are so thankful to our benefactors that made this possible,” said
Jan Grandgeorge, director of the library.
Those donors include money from the Roger and Palmer Larson
fund, Our Foundation for the Future, and the Wright County Charitable
Foundation. While these three groups provided the financial support for
the roughly $12,000 project to convert the microfilm of the newspapers to
digital content, Grandgeorge said it wouldn’t have been possible without the
cooperation of Mid-America Publishing and President/CEO Ryan Harvey.
“Our biggest thanks to them for giving us permission to pursue the
project,” she said.
“The Eagle is happy to partner with the library in this important
project,” said Harvey. We believe it is a great way to preserve the history
of the community.”
The idea for such a website started about five years ago, when
Grandgeorge and a few other librarians got together and talked about
preservation as well as public access, no matter where you live. It’s a
regular occurrence for the library and the Eagle Grove Eagle to get requests

Fareway donates 100 movies
Jan Grandgeorge (center) and Renee Evje (right) were more than excited to accept a donation of
100 used movies from Chris Livengood (left) of Eagle Grove Fareway earlier this week. Livengood
said, “I can’t think of a better place for (the movies) to go. The movies are previously viewed
movies that have been available in Fareway’s DVD Center, through farewaymovies.com. “It’s just
something we could do to benefit the library,” added Livengood. Grandgeorge said the generosity
of the donation was just unbelievable. “We’re so lucky. Thank you,” added Evje. The movies will
be available to rent, free of charge, soon. There is a variety of titles for adults, young adults, and
children as well. Photo by Kim Demory
Helpful Hint
Did your child use the
painted walls as a canvas?
Mist them with hairspray
and wipe immediately to
remove colored marker. For
crayon, scrub with a toothpaste-covered toothbrush,
or gently massage with
baking soda and a damp
microfiber cloth.

—School Board —
Continued from Page 1
Kruger finished his report by
thanking everyone for this career
experience in the district. “It’s been a
great year, and I’m very proud of our
staff that have worked hard this year,”
said Kruger. “There are lots of great
things happening in the elementary,
and I want to thank the Board for the
opportunity given me to work here.
It’s been a great 20 years, and I will
miss everyone in Eagle Grove that has
impacted my life during that time.”
During his report, Robert Blue
Middle School Principal Scott Jeske
told Board members that the Awards
Assembly was again a big success,
with students honored for their many
accomplishments for the past school
year. He felt the end of year field trips
went superbly, with all students having
a wonderful time enjoying their three
respective venues. He also reported
that, due to the success of the Step Up
Reading classes, they will be starting
a similar effort in math for 7th and 8th
grade students.
“Students will get a second-dose
of math, and we will concentrate
on their deficiencies,” said Jeske.
“They will get some pre-teaching of
new concepts they will learn in the
regular math room. They will not be
required to take technology to make
room for this in their schedule.” He
also announced that the theme for
next year is “Character is our Super
Power” which will feature super
heroes in many of the activities.
He shared fresh data from the
resiliency survey that was filled out
by students. “We continue to create
an environment where students feel
welcomed, safe and ready to learn,”
said the principal.
They have decided on a hot dog
cookout, rather than a pool party,
for this year’s Open House event. “It
might be a better way to get students
and parents to come,” said Jeske. “One
of our major goals for next year is to
create an environment where parents
feel comfortable in taking part in
school and school activities.”
He presented to the Board the
revised student handbook for next
year, which includes only minor
changes. “We will not be ordering
planners for next school year, but
rather teaching the students to use
their Chromebooks to keep track of
assignments, etc.,” said Jeske.
He also recognized Janea
McKinley, who was one of 50 out of
a total of 350 applicants to receive a
Project Proficient grant. It will pay for
her obtaining of an ELL endorsement
through Morningside College. He
wrapped it up by telling the Board that
15 students will be attending Summer
School to make up any classes they
failed.
High School Principal Jeff
Siebersma was not able to attend the
meeting.
Board members heard an update
from Superintendent Jess Toliver on
the infrastructure projects for this
summer. The new lighting in the
high school gym is finished, and has
really brightened it up. The track
rehab project is scheduled now and
should be completed by late fall,
and the middle school roofing crew
should be on site to start in the next
few days. During his time, Toliver
also highlighted for the Board what
he feels are legislative action priorities
for next year’s session. Those include,
in order: 1) Set Supplemental State
Aid (SSA), which was supposed to
be done in the last session; 2) Set the
SSA at an adequate level; 3) Expand
the use of PPEL and Statewide Penny.
The Board will now consider these
prior to formal adoption.
The Board approved the school
fees list as proposed for next year. It
includes an increase in book rent of $1
for Prep-K thru 4th, $5 for 5th thru 8th
and $5 for 9th thru 12th, along with
small increases in nutrition program
fees based as State guidelines. The
driver’s education fees, for next
summer, will also increase by $10 for
district students and $15 for out-ofdistrict students.
The most noticeable change in the
fee schedule is with the $60 student
athletic event pass. “It will now be
offered free to all students k-12, with
an optional suggested $10 donation,”
said Toliver. “We wanted to get more
kids to the games to support our
athletic program. We generated about
$2,100 per year from the current
fee. The $1,500 from the student
government, along with the WCCF
grant (mentioned earlier), will allow
us to get every student an activity
pass.” Watch an upcoming edition of
the Eagle for a more extensive story
detailing this effort.
The Board approved the
recommendations from the School
Improvement Advisory Committee
on reading and math goals for the
coming school year. Those include:
High School 11th graders-reading at 78
percent proficient (current goal of 74.1
percent) and math at 83 percent (79.7
percent); Middle School 8th gradersreading at 78 percent (72 percent),
math at 84 percent (82 percent) and
science at 81 percent (79 percent);
Elementary 4th graders-reading at
76 percent (70 percent), math at 86
percent (83 percent) and science at 85
percent (83 percent). “These are the
goals we will now use,” said Toliver.
In other action the Board:
-approved resignations from
Chelsey Axtell (assistant softball),
McKristie Jeske (assistant volleyball),
Angela Gloede (elementary teacher
and coach), Dan O’Hern (assistant
volleyball after 32 years as Eighth
grade coach) and Shonda Schafer
(cook);
-approved contracts for Bruce
Dahlhauser (high school PE and head
football coach), Justin Schwake (high
school band teacher/director) and
Katie Noll (high school English);
-approved the list of 2014
graduates to be entered into school
records;
-approved the milk bid from AE
Dairy and the bread bid from Bimbo
Bakeries USA of Dubuque;
-approved a request for a Spanish
Club trip to Belize for the summer
of 2015. Twenty-one students have
signed up as expressing interest in
going on the eight-day, every-two year
educational and recreational trip;
-set a special meeting for Monday,
June 30 at noon for dealing with the
end-of-year business.

Supervisors approve fitness
center loan guarantee
by MATT vOIGTS
wrightcomonitor@gmail.com
At the their June 16 meeting,
the Wright County Supervisors
made a motion of intent to guarantee
a loan for the Clarion Foundation
for Community Improvement, Inc.,
who is seeking to purchase the Main
Street building in Clarion in which
Clarion Fitness is located. The
Foundation reached an agreement
with current owner Stan Erikson to
purchase the building for $125,000,
intending to apply for loans from
Corn Belt Power and Prairie Energy
to cover either 80% or 90% of the
purchase ($100,000 or $112,500,
respectively). Through the guarantee,
the Foundation is able to reduce
its interest rates from 3% to 2%, a
savings of over a $1,000 per year.
David Johnson, Foundation
President, said the purchase is in
preparation to potentially expand
the services the facility offers, and
the non-profit may launch a capital
campaign in December or January to
renovate the building’s interior and
exterior. Erikson is presently in the
process of cleaning out the building’s
second floor and basement. The
Foundation had hired an engineer to
do a “walk-through inspection” for
between $2,000 and $3,000 and, in
Johnson’s words, “the bottom line
is that this is a good, safe, sound
building.” Clarion Fitness operates
as a non-profit.
The Supervisors had no
reservations about guaranteeing the
loan, with Johnson citing confidence
in the community members working
on the project. “These people are not
going to let this project fail,” he said,
also advocating for the importance
of the fitness center as a “Main
Street business” that occupies two
storefronts.
The meeting happened amid
discussions on when an expected
afternoon
storm
would
hit.
Supervisor Karl Helgevold was gone
on a planned absence.
Also at the meeting, Wright
County Engineer Adam Clemons
presented bids received for fuel
purchase contracts. The Supervisors
approved the apparent low bid of .08
cents below rack price to Farmers
Cooperative. The County typically
spends around $350,000 a year for
fuel. Clemons also noted that the
County’s new motor grader will be
arriving June 19, and that pouring
concrete on the bridge deck on C-70
was scheduled to begin the day of
the meeting. The bridge should be
completed within “three or four
weeks.”
Steve Soma of the Wright
County
Insurance
Committee
presented the insurance premium
rates for the County for the 2014-
15 financial year, which begins July
1. The overall costs for the County
will reduce from $266,155.04 to
$257,287.08, a difference $8,867.96.
Soma also presented an alternate plan
that would cost around $5,000 more,
but provide greater coverage for a
cyber-attack or other technological
intrusion on County records. The
Supervisors decided to have the
County Information Technology
department review the risk of such an
incident before making a decision.
At the previous week’s meeting,
the Supervisors had approved
a mutual support agreement to
reimburse Iowa Specialty Hospital
(ISH) for reimbursement for
ambulance transfers up to $50,000
per year, to cover costs for County
residents otherwise unable to pay. At
their June 16 meeting, the County
debated approving a version with
changes made by Steve Simonin of
ISH. The proposed changes:
- Amended the text that
“ambulance transfers for mental
health services shall not be covered
by this Agreement” to “Mental
Health transfers will be covered by
a separate agreement.”
- Struck an item limiting the
reimbursement to 50% or up to $600
per individual transfer
- Changed a requirement to
provide “an itemized accounting”
“of its actual costs” to “normal
billing costs”
ISH’s Steve Simonin visited the
Council Chambers, and after a call
with Brad Leckrone, County Social
Services, it was determined that an
agreement was already in place to
cover mental health transfers for
residents otherwise unable to pay.
On the second item, ISH and the
Supervisors agreed that cost would
be changed to cover up to 50% of
“billable” expenses, with the $600
limit removed. On the third item,
both the Supervisors and the County
clarified that their interest was less in
the services themselves than efforts
to recover costs, and the wording was
changed so that ISH would provide a
“billing history” rather than a list of
services.
The Supervisors also approved
a fireworks permit to Gary Groves,
for use on a farm near Eagle Grove.
The County Assessor also noted
receiving a letter from an individual
claiming the right as a “sovereign
citizen” not to pay taxes.

Newspaper archives
now available online
Continued from Page 1
for genealogy information, business
opening/closing dates, and the likes.
While microfilm and hard copies
of the papers were always available
for the public to come in and look
through, it wasn’t always feasible
for the public as many requests
come from far away. In addition,
the microfilm reader at the library
broke down and would have cost
$9,000 to repair. This website has
solved that problem and will not
only save staff time, but will allow
a greater majority of the public to
have all the information they need
right at their fingertips, when they
want it.
Grandgeorge
noted
one
individual who contacted the
library, looking for information
about a business that had existed
in Eagle Grove in the early 1900s.
She referred them to the brand new
website. Shortly after, Grandgeorge
received an email in response,
saying how wonderful the website
was and that they had discovered
an abundance of information,
even more than she had originally
started looking for.
Grandgeorge also told Paul
Wilde about the new archive site as
he has spent many hours using the
microfilm to research obituaries
of family members, most of whom
are from Eagle Grove. He found
that this manual search was time
consuming, and when he heard
about the archives, it was a dream
come true for him.
“I do not know where to
begin, as this is such a major
breakthrough for our community.
The site is very user friendly and
allows one to search by any means.
By using the search engines within
the site, it will bring up those
items on whatever the search is
for,” said Wilde. “It allows one
to zoom the print, go from page
to page of certain issues, etc. It is
so neat. What is the old saying -best thing since sliced bread? Well
this major breakthrough of the
archived newspapers is just that
-- the best thing! Now with the
Eagle being archived and online, I
can find out more of the Good Old
Days and reflect back on my years
of growing up in Eagle Grove.”
Wilde added that there is a
Facebook page called “Growing
Up in Eagle Grove” that currently
has 713 members recalling their
past and living or growing up in
Eagle Grove.
“I think they will greatly love
the fact of the archived newspapers
being online. I can only wait to see
what is being posted about people
using this new opportunity to look
back. Most of the 713 people
probably live in some other part
of the United States and do not
have access to our library and
the archived newspapers. Not so
anymore, our community library
is bringing their services right to
them. What better service could
they ask for? Oh, what enjoyment
they should have,” commented
Wilde.
“I’m so glad it’s here,” said
Grandgeorge. The more people
that use it, the better.”
Links to the archived newspaper
website will also be available on
the Eagle Grove newspaper website
at

com or the library website at

friends about it. Then tell us what
you think of it. We would love to
hear from you.

Council removes golf cart equipment
requirements from new ordinance
By LeS houSer
After some lengthy discussion,
the Eagle Grove City Council decided
it might be better to just remove the
portion of an amendment to city
ordinances pertaining to equipment
on golf carts.
On the agenda was the first
reading of Ordinance 2014-03, which
would amend provisions pertaining
to operation of snowmobiles, ATV’s
and golf carts within the city limits.
The document stated under the
section on equipment that “headlights
and taillights shall be on at all times
while the golf cart is being operated
on any public street or alley.” This
was added following the last Council
meeting.
The point was then brought up,
by Councilperson Wally Lorenzen,
that not all carts are equipped as
such. Police Chief Ray Beltran also
stated that he only wants them used in
daytime hours anyway. The Council
decided to vote on the first reading,
but with the requirement removed.
The vote was 3-3, with Lorenzen,
Tony Axtell and Dennis Vandewater
voting against the amendment. At that
point, Mayor Sandra McGrath broke
the tie by voting for the amended
ordinance. The Council will now
take up the second reading at their
next meeting. As the ordinance will
now read, an SMV sign, safety flag,
adequate brakes and rear view mirror
will still be required.
A group of residents on Richards
Drive appeared at the meeting to
request maintenance for their deadend road off of Southeast Seventh
Street. There are a total of four houses
on that road. “It was never turned
over to the city, but should have been
when Dick Sadler put the street in,”
said spokesperson Nate Brockman.
“We have no snow removal or upkeep
on our street. We pay city taxes, so
would like to see the city maintain it
for us. Even just an alley would do.”
Mayor McGrath pointed out
that it’s not a platted street as such.
Brockman also stated that two
handicapped people are living there
and that raises concerns. “What
happens if an ambulance can’t get
in there, and none of us have fourwheel drive vehicles either,” said
Brockman.
Councilperson
Vandewater,
while sympathetic, told the group
he has a similar problem where he
lives. “I’m in that same situation,
and who knows how many others,”
said Vandewater. It was agreed that
the public works committee would
look at the issue and report back at a
future meeting.
Tim Moreau with V & K gave
a brief update on the DD#94 project
through the city. While he reports
nice progress, as south 10th Street
is now open again, he wished he
had better news on the Union Pacific
situation.
“Negotiations with the railroad
are not progressing as we had hoped,”
said Moreau. He then presented three
options in dealing with the crossing
of right-of-way.
The Council could either go
ahead as planned with the concrete
pipe, or go with the railroad’s proposal
to use steel pipe. The third option is
to ask FEMA for an extension of
time to continue negotiations, which
Moreau said is “really not feasible
at this point.” “The steel pipe would
result in a $6,000 deduct, but it won’t
have near the life expectancy as the
concrete will,” said Moreau. “We’ll
just be tearing it up again in 30 years,
if that.” The Council’s consensus was
to proceed as originally planned.
In other action the Council:
-approved Resolution 2014-17 for
a loan agreement and providing for
sale and issuance of G.O. Corporate
Purpose Bonds, and providing for the
levy of taxes to pay for same. UNB
Bank of Kansas City, Missouri, in
cooperation with First State Bank
of Webster City, was the successful
bidder for the bonds in the amount
of $1.450 million. The interest rate
of 2.0502 percent is considered an
extremely low rate;
-approved the first reading of
Ordinance 2014-02, which amends
the City Code pertaining to sewer
service charges. This will make it a
rate of $8 per month for each water
meter and a monthly rate of $2.57 for
each 100 cubic feet of water used per
customer plus a pro-rated amount for
each fractional amount in excess of
100.
“We haven’t had an increase
in several years,” said City
Administrator Mike Boyd. “It’s just
to keep pace with expenses;”
-approved change order #3 for
$11,500.60 for the DD#94 project,
and pay request #5 from McKiness
Excavating for $272,002.55, as
presented by Moreau. This represents
30 percent of the project now
completed;
-approved Resolution 2014-20
setting July 21 as a public hearing for
the annexation of properties into the
city;
-approved Resolution 2014-19
setting salaries for city employees for
FY14-15;
-approved fireworks permits
for Gary Lalor, Diane Jessen, Matt
Jergens and the Wright County Fair
Board;
-approved beer/liquor licenses
for Cenex Ampride, Family Table
Restaurant and Eagle Grove
Greenhouses.

Tidbits
Welcome back to another week of
Produce Tidbits. This week I would
like to talk about blueberries (a
favorite of mine on my cereal, or in
my yogurt).
Blueberries are actually native
to North America. They are
sometimes also known as bilberries
or whortleberries, but not to be
confused with the huckleberry.
Blueberries have been used
through the years for many different
medicinal purposes—from curing
a cough, abdominal problems, to
even used as a laxative. Blueberries
have also been used in the past for
clothing dye, because of their rich
blue color.
Until 1822, blueberries were
picked by hand. It was then that
Abijah Tabbutt from Maine invented
a blueberry rake to speed up the
picking process.
Blueberries are rich in antioxidants,
which help prevent cancer-causing
cell damage, as well as vitamins
A, C, E, beta-carotene, potassium,
magnesium, and manganese, too.
Blueberries are high in fiber and low
in fat, cholesterol, and also sodium.
America’s favorite kind of muffin is
the blueberry muffin, of course!
When choosing your berries,
choose those that are deep blue
in color, as they will not ripen any
further after they have been picked.
Avoid packages with watery juice
in the bottom of the container. This
indicates that they are past their
point of prime goodness.
Store your blueberries in the
refrigerator and do not wash them
until you’re ready to use them.
Blueberries can be frozen for up to a
year in the freezer.
Don’t forget to check out the
great price we have on packages
of blueberries in our produce
department at Fareway, where we are
ALWAYS BEST AT FRESH! Have
a super fantastic week and until next
time, good-bye!

4-H neWs
Wright Warriors meet
The monthly meeting of the Wright
Warriors 4-H club was held Saturday,
June 14. At this meeting we had so
many presentations to do that both
Rachel Clagett and Michael Clagett
presented before the meeting started.
President Danielle Koester then
called the meeting to order at 12:17
p.m, and Leslie Cooper then led the
club in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Rotary Home Activities
group reported that the next day we
would be going out there would be
Wednsday, June 25 at 1:30 pm. All
club members are invited to come.
The HOPES committee reported
that the 4-H Club would be
purchasing a fair packet for the
family. They will receive buttons to
use at the fair as well as tickets to
ride the rides, coupons, and more.
For the Leader Dog Project,
Hannah Demory and Maggie
Wachowiak took name suggestions
for the new leader dog. If it’s a boy
they decided that the name would be
Lucky, and if it’s a girl they decided
that the name would be Lilly.
In old business, the club was
reminded to check their hanging
folders as their are still some fair
books in there. A reminder that
Achievement Day is Friday, June 25
at 1 p.m. Please make an attempt to
be there, even if your project isn’t
finished you can still get some good
input on it.
In new business, the club found
out that our club’s judging time for
exhibits is on Tuesday, July 8 from
10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Come around
10:15 in case you can get a judge
early. The club was also told that
you must wear a 4-H or fair shirt
to show animals at the fair, and it
is preferred that you wear one on
judging day too. Another reminder
to pick up fair exhibits at 5 p.m. on
Sunday, July 15. Nothing can be
taken before 5 p.m.
This year, our club is in charge
of cleaning up the Exhibit Building
after the fair. Be there at 5:15 p.m.
Remember, this is for all members to
do, not just some.
At our next meeting we will have
a record book work shop for those
wanting help, but there will be no
club meeting until September.
During comments from Phyllis,
Phyllis brought fair materials such
as goal tags and goal sheets. If
you have not yet received these
fair materials you may stop by her
house and get them. Everyone was
reminded that if you are showing an
animal at the fair make sure you are
working with them.
Alana Moris led the club in the
4-H Pledge and President Danielle
Koeater adjourned the meeting at
12:57 p.m. Snacks were brought
by Kelly Jo Ttoler and drinks were
provided by Lizzie Hogrefe and
Peyton Larsen.
The club then
finished giving presentation, the
presenters being Joseph Tilley, Kelly
Jo Toler, and Thomas Matthes. After
presentations were given, the club
finished off their busy meeting with
fun workshops to attend.

Charmona M. Willard, 75, Eagle Grove
Charmona Madelle Willard, the
daughter of Edward Waite and Marian
Berkland, was born December 14,
1938, in Eagle Grove, Iowa. Char
was raised in Eagle Grove by her
parents, Marian and Ivan Rengstorf,
and in the late 1980’s she was united
with her biological father, Edward
Waite.
On October 30, 1965, Char
married Bud (Louis A.) Willard in

The couple made their home in
Eagle Grove except for a short time
while Bud served in the military in
California. The family shared many
great times in Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina.
Char worked for KQWC Radio
and drove taxi in Eagle Grove. She
will also be remembered for the
number of wedding, birthday, and
other special occasion cakes she
made, and her passion for quilting.
Char passed away on Sunday,

She was preceded in death by her

very special dog, Emma.
Char is survived by her husband,

Verna L. Headrick, 84, Sioux Falls, So. Dak.
Verna Lucille Burras Headrick was
born on November 9, 1929, to Carl
and Berthilde (Anderson) Burras on
the family farm south of Kanawha,
Iowa.
Verna attended country
schools in Norway Township and
graduated from Eagle Grove High
School in 1947.
On August 20, 1950, Verna
was united in marriage to Junior
“Bud” Headrick. Their marriage
was a partnership of give and take,
friendship and respect, and the
foundation that forged a strong,
loving home to raise a gaggle of
girls.
In the early 50s, Verna took a
job as a waitress at Chris’ Café,
working for Chris Christopoulos.
One New Year’s Eve, Joe Floyd
of KELO called Chris and asked if
they could put together some food
for the television staff and drop it
off. Verna said no, Chris said yes.
They put it together and dropped it
off and Chris’ Catering was born.
It was the beginning of a long and
memorable career. Verna’s food
graced the tables of at least six US
Presidents, numerous musicians
and performers ranging from
Wayne Newton to Nine Inch Nails,
and everything in between, every
Lewis Store employee for decades,
and more brides and grooms than
could be counted. Her knowledge
and expertise was instrumental
in helping Great Bear Ski Area
become a thriving event center for
the City of Sioux Falls. Anyone
who ever worked with her learned
quick enough that Verna’s cooking
talents were matched by quick wit
and humor—”Don’t snitch the
food...you may have to cough that
up later.”
After her retirement in 2000,
Verna turned her talents toward
her church home of First Lutheran
where she became active in Ruth
Circle. Verna and her friends spent
countless hours serving food at The
Banquet, assembling baby layette
kits to ship overseas, preparing
for the annual church bazaar, and
Verna Headrick
sharing God’s word and fellowship
at Southridge Nursing Home. She
treasured her time spent with the First
Lutheran quilters and the men who
worked in the basement workshop.
Verna loved participating in many
activities offered at church, such as
Senior Ministries, Altar Guild, and
Bible Study. Her family lovingly
referred to her as “The Church
Lady.” She formed treasured and

Willis “Bill” J. Kuecker, 83, Eagle Grove
Willis “Bill” John Kuecker, the
son of Edward and Ida (Siems)
Kuecker, was born January 19, 1931,
on the family farm near Whittemore,
Iowa. He was raised and educated
in the area of his birth, graduating
from Algona High School in 1949.
Bill then graduated from Iowa State
University, where he pledged Alpha
Gamma Rho.
Bill served in the United States Air
Force in Korea, and was Honorably
Discharged on April 25, 1955.
In March of 1954, Bill was united
in marriage with Hope Moellering,
and to this union six children were
born. They were a very hardworking, committed farm family.
They raised livestock and numerous
specialty crops, including pumpkins,
gourds, strawberries, asparagus, and
of course, the “famous” Kuecker
Sweet Corn! He was a gregarious
early proponent of conservation
tillage and locally produced foods.
Bill was an active member of
Mount Calvary Lutheran Church –
Missouri Synod Lutheran. He was

On June 16, Matt Mullins, Vice
President of Maxfield Research, met
with 20 local interested stakeholders
in the Wright County Supervisors’
chambers for a kick-off meeting
concerning a county-wide housing
assessment study the Minneapolisbased firm has been contracted to
produce.
The study was proposed and
discussed extensively at local
governmental and other board
meetings throughout April and May.
Initiated by Wright County Economic
Development (WCED), it will cost
around $15,000 that was raised from
WCED, the County Supervisors,
the County’s city governments,
Mankato-based developer Shrom
Construction, and others. Maxfield
Research produces around 100
housing studies per year, including
recent ones in Iowa’s Henry County
and Iowa Falls.
The report will assess the
housing needs and wants of potential
Wright County residents, providing
hard data for discussions that have
heretofore mostly been rooted in
anecdote. The study will offer
projections into 2025 on housing
types and price points supportable
by Wright County’s communities. At
the meeting, the assembled voiced
concerns commonly expressed
throughout the last few months about
the County’s aging housing stock and
local businesses’ new hires opting to
live out of county, which have been
implicitly verbally linked in much
local conversation.
“You’re going to help us get a
developer, right?” said Bob Malloy
– President of Wright County
Economic Development Board and
attorney for the City of Goldfield –
expressing a bottom-line concern,
lamenting that in contrast to now,
“25 years ago developers would put
up spec houses.”
Mullins was careful to phrase
developers’ reluctance in terms of
the gaps between costs and potential

financial returns. “It’s a planning
document and a marketing piece,”
he said of the study’s uses. “It’s up
to the city authorities [and other
involved locals] to go out and pitch
that piece.”
“Conservatively, we’ve found
it spot-on,” said developer Troy
Schrom of Maxfield’s research,
suggesting that their assessment
would be taken to heart by potential
developers. “You see community
involvement in the area here,” he
said of Wright County, stating that
the enthusiasm of local boards and
businesses interested him in pursuing
developments here.
To make its community more
attractive to home builders, the City
of Eagle Grove recently earmarked
40 dilapidated properties for
demolition. The City of Clarion
has been in the process of revising
its rental ordinances, and created
non-profit developer i2i to ready
23 lots of White Fox Landing for
development. Two of those lots were
sold at an auction on April 5 with
another designated for construction
of a spec home.
Mullins said the study will seek
to answer three major questions:
- “What is your existing housing
stock?”
- “What are your housing
needs?”
- “How can you implement a
plan?”
Mullins asked those gathered
what the County does particularly
well with housing, amid vocalized
concerns of “lack of inventory all
around.” “We’ve got some great
landlords,” said Dave Maxheimer
of i2i and Hagie Manufacturing
suggesting a positive in Wright
County’s favor.
While the room mostly voiced
concern on drawing families and
expanding businesses, Mullins
noted the long-term challenges for
communities like Clarion is the
aging of Baby Boomers, the “Senior
Tsunami” coming between 2020
and 2030. “As people downsize,
what do they want?” he said of
challenges facing retirees. For the
Millennial generation, Mullins said
that they “grew up with the Internet,
have fewer siblings, and are used to
their own rooms,” and that while
“previous generations” may have
been used to purchasing first homes
that are older properties with repairs
needed (properties with “deferred
maintenance”), many Millenials
“desire newer housing stock right off
the bat.”
Supervisor Stan Watne noted
that opening lots to development
does not necessarily guarantee
that “young people” will want to
move to the area. “They’re used to
switching jobs and they like where
they [already] live,” he said of the
Millenials’ apparent desire to remain
in communities outside Wright
County.
The median year of construction
of homes in Wright County is 1938.
The County’s median household
income averaged from 2008-2012 is
$45,713.
The room also suggested
that Wright County’s situation
is strongly shaped by its relative
geographic isolation. “[They’re]
going to be bedroom communities,
or they’re going to have some type of
draws [such as a lake],” said LeeAnn
Waltzing, when the room was asked
for a potential community to serve
as a point of comparison. Brad
Hicks, WCED Director, and Duane
Asbe, Clarion City Councilperson,
named Osage as a town potentially
comparably to Wright County’s in
size and challenges that appeared to
be doing well.
“We’ll be spending the next two
months plus doing field research,”
Mullins said of where the project will
continue, saying Maxfield will call
and interview “property managers,
property
owners,
developers,
builders – anyone affiliated with the
housing market,” as well as renters
and potential homeowners.

Cayler awarded Gerontological
Nursing Certification
Stacey Cayler, RN, was recently
awarded a Gerontological Nursing
Certification from the American
Nurses Credentialing Center.
Initially Cayler was selected as
a recipient of a 2013 Gero Nurse
Scholarship provided by the Iowa
Health Care Foundation. A yearlong online course through the
University of Nebraska Medical
Center followed. Once the online
course was completed, she sat for
the American Nurses Credentialing
Center (ANCC) examination of
gerontological nursing. In early
June, Cayler received official notice
of her certification.
Since
the
early
2000’s,
gerontological nursing (the study
of the unique health issues of older
adults) has been recognized both as
a specialty and as an essential and
integral component of adult nursing.
Even though this certification has
been available since 1974, less than
one percent of registered nurses are
certified in gerontological nursing,
according to the National Academy
of Sciences, 2008.
“Stacey is a wonderful asset to our
team at Iowa Specialty Hospital,”
said Steve Simonin, CEO. “She
brings a vast array of skills and
talents to both the hospital and
Assisted Living. Stacey’s new
certification is a great win for our
facility and a major accomplishment
for her personally.”
Cayler graduated from Mercy
School of Nursing and Simpson
College, and has been a registered
nurse for 22 years. Currently she is
The Meadows Assisted Living Nurse
Leader and Program Coordinator/
CDE (Certified Diabetes Educator)
of the Iowa Specialty Diabetes
Center.
Have you been wondering what
it takes to educate your child at
home? There will be a Homeschool
Information Night held on Thursday,
June 19, from 7-9 p.m. at “The
Bridge,” 905 Des Moines St.,
Webster City, for all parents who
want to know more about this option
for their school-aged children.
Current homeschooling parents are
welcome to attend as well.
Many parents have questions about
laws, curriculum, college, military,
driver education, special needs,
and more. There will be a panel of
experienced Home School Parents to
answer those questions. They will
include Kristy Northway-Board,
member of NICHE (Network of
Iowa Christian Home Educators),
Nancy Janney-Supervising Teacher
and Stratford HSAP Teacher (Home
School Assistance Program), and
Janis
Johnson-Coordinator
of
NICHE State-wide Graduation and
home educator with 18+ years of
experience.
This event is free and open to the
public.

Al Bell remembered in klemme
Al Bell’s second daughter, Becky
Bell-Greenstreet, will visit Klemme
Friday evening, June 20, to talk
about her celebrity father. For thirty
years, Al Bell, entertainer/educator,
traveled to sixty countries over a
span of thirty years, bringing the
world to thousands of rural Iowa
schoolchildren. From 1949-1979,
Bell (and later, his wife Rhea Bell)
gave 400 assembly programs a
year, driving to school gyms and
auditoriums all over the state.
“Klemme was one of his favorite
schools,” said Becky in a phone
conversation with Nyla Bridges
in May. “Just like teachers have
favorite students, Al Bell had favorite
schools!”
As a part of Klemme’s 125th
anniversary, Bell-Greenstreet, an
Oregon resident for the last six
years, will host the showing of two
Al Bell films and a question and
answer discussion afterwards. She
will also have her book, “Al Bell
Remembered” and the DVD package
which contains 28 of Bell’s travel
movies (transferred from 16 mm.
to DVDs) available for purchase.
Some of the most popular films were
made in Ireland, Peru, Spain, Egypt,
Romania,
Scotland,
Morocco,
Holland, and Kenya.
This special Al Bell remembrance
in Klemme follows an “Al Bell Day”
at the Iowa Historical Museum held
on Sat., June 14, in Des Moines.
The Al Bell children donated many
artifacts, costumes, original posters,
and foreign dolls to the museum
which set up an exhibit on the
main floor last December. Films
were shown that day, as well as an
appearance of the Bell children:
Becky, Rhea, Allen and Doug. (The
Al Bell exhibit will be on display
through the end of this year for any
visitors to the Des Moines area.)
Nyla Bridges is a 1972 graduate of
Klemme High School. She is a travel
consultant and lives with her family
in Holmen, Wis. Her love of travel
was inspired by seeing Al Bell visit
the old Klemme gym. She and other
alumni have hosted Al Bell events in
the past at Klemme Ag Days.
Thanks to a couple of grownup Al
Bell fans, “I Remember Al Bell” is a
popular Facebook page, where many
Iowans and former Iowans write in
and post specific memories, what
school they went to, and occasional
questions which Becky and her
sister, Rhea, enjoy answering.
thanks
A special “thank you” to everyone who sent me cards, called, and visited me, while I was in the Clarion hospital and at Rotary Senior Living
North. To Amy, my daughter-in-law, thank you for visiting me at the hospital and doing things for me. She was a busy woman, as my son, Steve, was
in the Mason City Hospital. Thank you to my son, Bill and his wife, Kelly,
for their flowers, visits, calls, and transportation when needed. To my sister, Bev Jacobson, I appreciated your flowers, calls, and visits. To Helen
Burr, Pat Miller, and Lorene Maier, thank you for your caring ways.
Thank you Dr. Smith and Dr. Redding for the kindness and concern you
showed me, while I was in the hospital and at Rotary North. I appreciated
Brother Bob Dishman, from the Goldfield Park Church, for visiting me at
both places.
I wish to extend my appreciation to all the many employees at Rotary
Senior Living North for their kindness, caring, and loving ways, while I
was in the Skilled Care area of the home. While there, I was shown by
the physical and occupational therapists how to walk with a boot, on my
fractured foot, how to go up and down steps, how to dress myself, put my
boot on, and the many other things I needed to know before going home.
I am glad Dr. Smith, my family, and I made the decision for me to recover
at the home. It was a worthwhile and enjoyable stay. The food was delicious too!

Go green in the kitchen
Adopting
an
eco-friendly
lifestyle is a great way to protect the
planet for future generations. As the
“go green” movement continues to
grow in popularity, men and women
are realizing more and more ways to
reduce their carbon footprints.
One method to find new ways to
be more environmentally friendly is
to examine a favorite hobby and think
of ways to enjoy that hobby in a way
that also benefits the environment.
Foodies, for example, can take a
look around their kitchens to find
ways where their love of cooking
and food can be joined together with
their desires to be more eco-friendly.
The following are just a few ways to

* Banish bottled water in favor
of filters. Bottled water can be very
wasteful, even when bottles are made
from recycled materials. Waterfiltering pitchers are inexpensive,
which cannot always be said about
bottled water that needs to be
periodically restocked. Faucetmounted filters can be directly
attached to the faucet to make the
process of filtering water that much
easier.
* Reconsider how you store
leftovers. Many people store their
leftovers in plastic containers. Many
are made from recycled plastic
and are made from petroleum, a
nonrenewable resource. Instead, ecoconscious foodies can opt for glass
or ceramic containers rather than the
more popular plastic alternatives.
* Coffee grounds and eggshells
can be put to use in the garden. You
can add them to the compost pile in
your yard, where items you would
otherwise discard can help enrich
the soil, making for healthier lawns
and gardens.
* Fire up the dishwasher only
when it’s full. Choose an efficient
setting and let the dishes air dry
rather overnight instead of drying
them with heat.
* Rely on smaller appliances.
In addition, when heating water for
tea, hot chocolate or coffee, use an
electric kettle to heat water instead
of the oven cooktop. The smaller
appliance is more efficient and won’t
consume as much energy.

Bash on the Farm
Bash on the Farm will hold its 13th Annual free admission festival at
Heritage Park June 20-21. This will be the third year at the park. New
this year, will be an indoor “yard stage” (as it’s been known by) with more
gospel music. It will feature the McClellan Singing Sisters on Friday at 7
p.m., and The Forgiven Quartet from Oklahoma on Saturday at 1:30 and
6:30 p.m. The construction of the new building at Heritage Park is being
completed and will be ready just in time for it’s first use at Bash on the
Farm.
The main stage will feature rock groups 7eventh Time Down and
Manic Drive on Friday night with LED wall lighting. Saturday night
contemporary worship artist Todd Agnew will headline. He is well
known for his song “Grace Like Rain” a version of the hymn “Amazing
Grace”. Willet, a past favorite at Bash on the Farm’s main stage, will also
be Saturday evening.
There are many hard rock to metal bands in the shed for those who like
that style. Another new addition this year is the after party from 11:30 p.m.
Friday-1 a.m., with Tru Serva and Transformation Records.
Camping is available with registration at the gate. The festival hours
are 1 p.m. to 1 a.m., Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Several
children’s activities are available including kid’s pedal pull on Saturday.

EaglE grovE EaglE
— You are what you eat —
by Annette Snyder
MS, rd, Ld
registered dietitian
Wright medical center
Stand back, it’s time to do some
science—chemistry in particular.
When it comes to food these
days, everyone is concerned with
chemicals in their food. The internet
is littered with blogs of wouldbe food “investigators” that claim
certain foods or brands or additives
as unhealthy. There are some grains
of truth in their information, but
some of it is more hyped than it
maybe needs to be. Truly, even as
a dietitian, I would fall short of all
of the recommended food items that
these sensationalist articles or blogs
endorse.
All that aside, what is really
in our food? Obviously, we know
that the more processed an item is,
the greater chance it has for added
sugars, salt, fat, preservatives, etc.
Not all good. Sometimes, though,
processing is actually required to
make the food edible. Making whole
grain pasta is one example. That
wheat isn’t going to get to your dinner
plate without a little manipulation.
The benefit of processed foods,
if we are to look for a silver lining, is
that they are labeled with ingredients
and nutrition information. An apple,
however, does not come with a
nutrition label. We do have the most
information available to us than ever
before. That can be a good thing and
it can be very confusing.
Usually, a piece of advice that is
frequently shared is this: “if you can’t
pronounce it, don’t eat it.” Meaning,
if a food has a long chemical
name listed in the ingredients, and
especially higher up on the list, leave
it on the shelf. Well, what if “natural”
foods (“natural” actually does not
have a legally protected definition)
came with labels? Let’s take a look.
The first item’s label would
look like this: “yellow-orange E101,
yellow-brown E160a, ethyl hexanoate,
ethyl butanoate, 3-methylbut-1-YLethanoate, pentyl acetate, E1510,
natural ripening agent (ethene gas).”
Scary-looking, isn’t it? Know what
it is? The colors and flavors of a
banana, according to chemistry.
These are not preservatives, added
flavors, or man-made cocktails.
These are banana. Period.
What about this doozy? “ethyl
ethanoate, 3-methyl butyraldehyde,
2-methyl butyraldehyde, pentanal,
methybutyrate, octane, hexanal,
styrene,
nonane,
non-1-ene,
linalool,
citral,
benzaldehyde,
butylated hydroxytoluene (E321),
methylparaben…” That would be
the flavors in a fresh, all-natural
blueberry. I’m still going to eat it.
The moral of the story: we know
a lot about food, but sometimes are
misguided by good intentions. We
know that certain groups of foods
are healthier than others. Often, but
not always, chemicals added to foods
by man are not the best options.
However, sometimes things from
nature itself look scary, but may in
fact be completely innocent. There
are so many layers to the foods we
eat, so many as-yet unidentified
compounds that aid in keeping us
healthy, that we will never be able
to stay away from all chemicals.
Chemistry is everywhere, including
your grocery-store produce shelf,
farmer’s market, organic foods aisle,
or garden.

King Band to feature Bob Patton
Summer concerts continue in Fort
Dodge at the Karl L. King Band
Shell in Oleson Park this Sunday
evening, June 22, with another
special concert. Conductor Jerrold P.
Jimmerson and Assistant Conductor
Dr. David Klee will lead the band
in a “Salute to Iowa,” with many
selections on the program written by
Iowa composers.
Concert time is 7:30 p.m., and
there is no admission charge, with
these concerts being provided by
the City of Fort Dodge. The Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church Bell
Choir will again have homemade
ice cream and cake, starting around
6:30 p.m. Persons attending these
concerts are reminded to bring their
own lawn chairs, since no seating is
provided.
Special guest soloist will be Bob
Patton, baritone, from Gowrie. Mr.
Patton attended the University of
Northern Iowa before joining the
U.S. Air Force Singing Sergeants in
Washington, D.C. During his twenty
year career in the military, Patton
soloed with the National Symphony
and the Boston and Cincinnati Pops
Orchestras. He also performed with
the Washington Civic, Baltimore,
Wolf Trap, Northern Virginia and
Annapolis opera companies.
In 1991, he returned to Gowrie and
became editor and publisher of The
Gowrie News, the fourth generation
owner of a 110-year-old family
business. He is now retired from the
newspaper after a 20-year career, but
is still very active and much soughtafter as a vocalist throughout the
Midwest.
Mr. Patton will perform highlights
from George Gershwin’s 1935 opera,
“Porgy and Bess,” with such wellknown songs as “Summertime” and
“It Ain’t Necessarily So”, followed
by the humorous “If I Were a Rich
Man” from Fiddler On The Roof.
Each concert always closes in the
traditional way, with the playing of
our National Anthem, “The StarSpangled Banner.”
In the event of inclement weather,
the concert will be cancelled. Plan
now to spend each Sunday evening
during June and July with the Karl
L. King Municipal Band in beautiful
Oleson Park, located in the southern
part of the city of Fort Dodge.

Workshop for Farm Businesses
set for June 24 in Fort Dodge
Farmers are unique—particularly
as there isn’t a distinct moment when
they just walk out the workplace
door to retirement as someone in a
regular wage-earning job might do.
Rather, farm families often need to
think about how to transition the
farm business to the next generation
during lifetime, as well as having an
estate plan in place.
“Talking about transitions and
estate planning is difficult for most
people—and especially for farm
families,” says Melissa O’Rourke,
the Iowa State University Farm &
Agribusiness Management Specialist
in northwest Iowa. “And actual
implementation of a transition plan
can be even harder.” That’s why
Iowa State University Extension
offers an “Evaluating Your Estate
Plan” workshop to answer transition
and estate planning questions and
help families prepare for the future.
The one-day workshop will be held
on June 24 at the Webster County
Fairgrounds, East Auditorium, Fort
Dodge.
“Families and individuals should
plan adequately to protect assets that
they have built over a lifetime of
hard work,” according to O’Rourke,
one of the speakers at the event.
O’Rourke is an attorney experienced
in agricultural law and estate
planning.
Kelvin Leibold, also an ISU
Extension Farm & Agribusiness
Management Specialist will be
the other featured speaker at
the workshop. Leibold joined
ISU Extension in 1987 and has
vast experience in working with
agricultural clients in farm and
business planning.
According to Leibold, “There
are options particularly suited for
consideration by farm families,
different ways to transition farm
management and assets. This
program helps farm families plan
for the future.” The workshop
will discuss the language of estate
planning, gift, estate and inheritance
taxes, calculating retirement costs,
and many other areas vital to creating
a good estate plan.
“We’re really excited about this
workshop because it doesn’t just stop
at providing valuable information for
anyone concerned about estate and
transition plans,” says O’Rourke.
“Everyone will participate in a
hands-on analysis and discussion
of case studies that will help folks
apply the information to their own
situations.”
Anyone who is unsure of how to
build a transition plan or what options
are best for their farm operation and
family should attend this workshop.
The workshop will be held at
the Webster County Fairgrounds,
East Auditorium, on June 24, with
registration starting at 9 a.m., with
adjournment at 4 p.m. Advance
registration is required and space
is limited. There is a fee for this
workshop which includes lunch
and materials. To register, call the
Webster County Extension Office at
515-576-2119.
Gospel Fest
Herman Park Gospel Fest will be held on Saturday, June 28, from 10:30
a.m. - 7 p.m. at the Herman Park Pavillion, Woodland Ave. and S. Green St.
in Boone.
There is no admission charge, but there will be a free will offering. Bring
your family, friends, and lawn chairs. There will be food available all day.
For more information, contact Harold and Betty Holmes, 515-432-7041, or

Innovative system uses bacteria
to generate heat–and quality compost
The Practical Farmers project
may help fruit and vegetable farmers
cut operating costs.
Raising high-quality fruit and
vegetables requires a few key
resources: quality seed, adequate
sun and water, healthy soil—and the
ability to withstand volatile weather
like hail. More farmers are turning to
high tunnels to protect crops, as well
as to expand the growing season and
capitalize on early- and late-season
markets.
These resources come at a cost:
Many farmers need to purchase soil
amendments, like compost, and then
pay to truck it in. For those with high
tunnels, many pay for supplemental
heat to protect early- and lateseason crops from unpredictable
temperatures. For many fruit and
vegetable farmers, these added costs
are another drain on the budget at
a time when cash flow is already
tight.
But what if farmers could use one
system to get both compost and heat?
An innovative on-farm project by
Practical Farmers of Iowa is doing
just that: using waste heat from
composting to protect delicate crops
inside high tunnels during spring
and fall cold spikes. This innovative
project uses the concept of “trickle
charging” to heat soil inside a high
tunnel.
The system started heating a
portion of the high tunnel soil
shortly after the crop was planted in
early April at TableTop Farm near
Nevada. The novel system increased
soil temperatures by 5 degrees during
the mid-April cold snap – equivalent
to more than 5 gallons of liquid
propane for the 300-square-foot test
plot. Sally Gran, who runs TableTop
Farm, says the boost was a nice
surprise – especially in comparison
to her heating costs last year. Such
a system could become a viable way
for other fruit and vegetable farmers
to cut costs and better manage fickle
temperature swings.
“Last year we installed a $1,400
propane heater in the high tunnel
and spent an additional $1,200
on LP,” Sally says. “The cost was
unsustainable for the farm budget
and didn’t really fit with our energy
use philosophy. This time of year,
we’re hovering around freezing,
and 5 degrees can be the difference
between a plant living and dying.”
How the system works
Rich Schuler, energy consultant
with Practical Farmers, says trickle
charging the soil in a high tunnel
works the same way as in a car
battery: A large battery delivers a
flood of current to an electric motor
when the engine is started; the
depleted battery is then charged by
the alternator when the car is driven.
The compost system operates the
same way. An insulated 1,100-gallon
water tank acts as the battery, which is
trickle-charged by the heat extracted
from the aerobic composting process
over time. When heat is needed in
the high tunnel during a cold snap, a
pump moves hot water from the tank
into tubing in the soil. The pump
is turned off at the end of the cold
period, and trickle charging of the
water tank resumes.
Most materials for the system
are common hardware store items:
plywood, foam board insulation
and PVC pipes. Other components
include the pumps, blower, stainless
steel tubing and four 275-gallon
food-grade plastic totes.
eco-friendly energy
“The system was designed to use
very little electricity,” Rich says,
adding that it’s been operating offgrid on a single 140-watt solar PV
panel. “An important goal of the
project is to put alternative hardware
in the field that is not nearly the cost
of other renewable technologies.
Materials for the prototype system
cost roughly $7,000, including the
solar PV components. The next goal
will be to build a system with 80
percent of the performance of the
prototype, at 20 percent of the cost.”
“In the future, society will have
to make do with trickles of energy,
rather than the flood of energy
derived from readily accessible – but
dwindling – fossil fuels,” Rich says.
“Aerobic bacteria can provide that
continuous trickle of energy and are
a long-term source of generating onfarm energy in the form of heat.”
Another benefit of the Practical
Farmers project, he adds, is that
it produces high-quality compost
directly on the farm with less labor,
machinery and fuel than most
methods. Rich explains that aerobic
composting requires the right mix
of ingredients (carbon, nitrogen
and water); the right conditions
(temperature and oxygen); and proper
management to yield high-quality,
nutrient-rich
and
biologicallydiverse compost. If a compost pile or
windrow is not periodically turned to
allow oxygen to enter, the entrained
oxygen will be depleted, and it will
become anaerobic.
“Under anaerobic conditions,
useful fungi and bacteria die off.
When the fungi die off, the anaerobic
colony releases ammonia, and the
loss of nitrogen and biological
diversity results in a pile with greatly
reduced value as a soil amendment
– a lower-value product,” he says.
“The PFI compost heat system is
designed to eliminate the need to
turn the compost by forcing air
through the insulated compost box
with a solar-powered blower.”
A blower provides an adequate
supply of oxygen to the compost and
works with two heat exchangers to
stabilize the compost temperature
between 131 and 150 degrees. “After
the warmest phase of the composting
process, the material in the compost
chamber is moved outside to finish
curing before field application,” Rich
says. “The system is then loaded
with fresh material, and the process
starts over again.”
For Sally Gran at TableTop Farm,
the system means self-reliance and
a more sustainable way of farming:
“It’s important for us to be as selfreliant as possible. Anytime we
can use resources available on our
own farm, it lowers our ecological
footprint. Saving money on compost
and high tunnel heat purchases is an
added bonus.”
Practical
Farmers’
Energy
Program is designed to help farmers
reduce off-farm inputs and carbon
footprints. The compost heat project
is funded by The Ceres Foundation,
Soper Farms, and the members of
Practical Farmers of Iowa.

Yard and Garden: Strawberries
By Richard Jauron and
Willy Klein
Fresh strawberries, a favorite of almost
everyone, are relatively easy to grow and hardy
throughout Iowa. Strawberry plants require full
sun, well-drained soils and good management
to produce abundant, sweet fruit. Horticulturists
with Iowa State University Extension and
Outreach provide care and management
information for the home gardener. To have
additional questions answered, contact Hortline
at hortline@iastate.edu or 515-294-3081.
When should strawberries be harvested?
Harvest strawberries when the fruit are
uniformly red (fully ripe). Pick the berries with
the caps and stems attached to retain firmness
and quality. Pinch off the stem about one-fourth
inch above the cap.
Strawberries should be picked about every
other day in warm weather, every three to four
days in cool weather. The harvest period for
some June-bearing cultivars may last three
to four weeks. Strawberries can be stored in
the refrigerator for up to five to seven days.
Optimum storage conditions are a temperature
of 32 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity
of 90 to 95 percent.
Some of the strawberries in my garden are
covered with a gray, velvety growth. What is
it and how can it be controlled?
The gray, velvety growth on the berries is
probably gray mold. It is also known as Botrytis
fruit rot. Gray mold is favored by poor air
circulation and a high humidity in the strawberry
planting. The most commonly infected berries
are those touching the soil or other infected
JAkE
WildE
berries.
Cultural practices can reduce losses due to
gray mold.
• Do not fertilize June-bearing strawberries in
spring. The application of a nitrogen-containing
fertilizer in spring promotes lush, vegetative
growth. Dense foliage slows the drying of the
strawberry planting, resulting in a more favorable
environment for gray mold.
• Control weeds in the strawberry bed. Weeds
reduce air circulation and slow the drying of the
strawberry plants.
• Mulch the planting with straw to keep the
berries off the ground. Berries resting on a damp
or wet soil are more susceptible to gray mold.
• During dry weather, irrigate in the morning
when using a sprinkler. Plants dry quickly when
irrigated in the morning.
• “Clean-pick” the strawberry planting.
Harvest frequently. Pick berries as soon as they
are ripe.
• Handle berries carefully during harvest to
avoid bruising the fruit. Immediately refrigerate
the unwashed berries. Berries that exhibit
symptoms of gray mold should be picked and
removed from the bed.
Fungicides are used by commercial strawberry
growers to control gray mold. However, cultural
practices are the best way to control Botrytis fruit
rot in home gardens.
There are small, black, yellow-spotted
beetles feeding on my strawberries. What
should I do?
The small, black beetles are likely sap beetles.
They also are known as picnic beetles or picnic
bugs. Sap beetles commonly feed on overripe or
damaged fruits and vegetables in the garden.
Sanitation is the best management strategy for
sap beetles in home gardens. Keep the strawberry
patch as clean as possible through timely picking
and removal of damaged, diseased and overripe
fruit.
Insecticide sprays are available for sap beetles,
but they are difficult to use because they are
applied to a crop that is ready for harvest or
while harvest is underway. If you do spray, use an
insecticide with a short harvest-waiting interval
and follow label directions carefully.
Why do my strawberries have a slightly
bitter taste?
The flavor of most fruits and vegetables is
influenced by weather conditions. In regards
to strawberries, warm sunny weather produces
the most flavorful fruit. When the weather is
extremely hot, the berries may have a slightly
bitter taste. Strawberry plants produce smaller
quantities of sugars when the weather is cool and
cloudy. As a result, berries are not as sweet when
the weather is cool and rainy in May and June.
Leather rot, caused by a fungal disease, can be
a problem in wet weather. Infected fruit have a
leathery texture and bitter taste.
How long can I expect my June-bearing
strawberry planting to be productive?
June-bearing strawberry plantings that are
well-maintained and renovated annually should
remain productive for four or five years. Poorly
managed beds may be productive for only two or
three years. It’s time to plant a new strawberry
bed when berry size and numbers decline.
Jake made two hits, including a double, and scored
a run along with stealing a pair of bases during
baseball action in the past week. The senior is the
son of Chad and Ann Wilde.

Horticulture Hints: Grow Iris –
for a rainbow of color!
By Yvonne McCormick, ISU Extension Horticulturist
Local gardens are now awash in
all hues of the rainbow and vibrant
iris are at their peak. Iris is one of
the easiest hardy perennial plants to
grow. With so many colors and types
of iris available for home gardens,
everyone should have a favorite!
Tall bearded German iris typically
bloom late in May and last but a few
short weeks each year. This wellknown plant was one most likely
grown in your grandma’s flower
garden. More recent cultivars have
larger flowers than the type grandma
grew. Beverly Sills, Bride’s Halo,
and Batik are just a few popular
choices for central Iowa gardens.
Locate beds in a full sun location for
best bloom.
Some tall bearded irises, such as
Immortality, are called rebloomers,
and may bloom again later in the
season. However, the reblooming
tendency is not reliable and can vary,
depending on weather conditions and
cultural practices. Keep plants wellwatered and apply fertilizer during
the summer months to encourage
rebloom.
Apply a light application of 1010-10 fertilizer in early spring and
a second light application a month
after blooming. Avoid high nitrogen
fertilizers, which can cause rot. Do
not fertilize after mid-August, to
allow plants time to prepare or
“harden off” before winter.
If your iris are becoming crowded
or producing less flowers, it is time
to divide them. Dividing established
iris beds every three or four years
will help to keep your plants healthy.
The best time to divide and plant
iris is mid-July and August. This
gives plants ample time to become
established before winter sets in.

Lady Eagles have string
of one-run losses
SportS
Kruckenberg homers versus SE Webster
BY LES HOUSER
The Eagle Grove varsity softball
team was at least giving themselves
a chance to win, and fighting to the
very last out, in three losses last
week and all decided by a single
run. In all three, the purple and gold
scored one or two runs in the final
inning as they never gave up trying
for a victory. In the end, luck was
just not on their side.
The first of those games occurred
Monday, June 9 in a home matchup
with Webster City. The Lynx went
up 2-0 in their half of the first,
with the Eagles staying close at 4-2
Webster City after four complete
innings. After scoring another run in
the sixth, the home team plated two
runs in their half of the seventh but
couldn’t push the tying one across to
send it into extra innings.
The Lady Eagles tallied 12 hits,
with Bailey Boyer going 2 for 4 and
driving in a run. Sam Kruckenberg
and Megan Crail were both 2 for 4 as
well, with Crail also scoring a run.
Aja Bell and Daisah Shivers both
stroked doubles for their only hit
in four tries, with Bell also getting
an RBI. Kylee Almond, Heather
Wilson, Tori Axtell and Brianna
Allen also singled for the team, with
Almond scoring a run and the other
three all credited with bringing a run
home each. Esme Figueroa picked
off a base, while Heather Wilson
drew a walk.
Sarah Wilson went the distance in
the circle to take the loss, giving up
five earned runs while issuing four
K’s.
“We really played well in terms
of not giving up the big inning, and
that kept us in the ball game,” said
head coach Jim McLaughlin. “After
hitting a two-run homer in the top of
the first, the Lynx only scored solo
runs in four other innings. We kept
them in check, as they stranded nine
runners on base over the next five
innings. Then after being down 6-3
in the seventh with two outs, we got
consecutive hits by Crail, Heather
Wilson and Axtell to close to within
one run and had the tying run on
second when the game ended.”
They traveled to Algona on
Wednesday night, with the Bulldogs
prevailing by a 4-3 score. It was
only 2-0 Algona until the top of the
sixth, with the Eagles tying the game
after Shivers belted a clutch double
to bring home Figueroa and Axtell.
The Bulldogs turned around and
scored two more in their half to keep
the lead. The Lady Eagles could then
only manage a single run in their
half of the seventh, as Kruckenberg
reached base and was brought in by
Boyer.
Shivers was 2 for 3, including a
double, and had two RBI. Axtell
was 2 for 4, including a double as
well, and she scored a run. Boyer
and Figueroa were both 2 for 4, with
Bailey credited with an RBI and
Esme a run scored. Kruckenberg
also singled, scored a run and
recorded the only steal.
Heather suffered the loss, but
issued no earned runs on 11 hits. She
allowed two walks and struck out
one.
“Another good close ball game
with Algona only up 2-0 entering
the sixth,” said the head coach. “We
kept battling, and after Kruckenberg
scored to get us within a run, Esme’s
infield single put the tying and goahead runs on base when the game
ended.”
On Thursday night, it was yet
another hard-fought game that saw
the Eagles lose to Southeast Webster
6-5. The SEW Eagles scored three
of their runs in the first inning, and
held a 6-0 lead after four complete
innings. The purple and gold finally
broke onto the scoreboard in the
top of the fifth, plating three runs
to cut the deficit in half. The rally
started with Bell bringing in Axtell,
followed by Kruckenberg stepping
up to smash a two-run homer (the
first of her career) over the left field
fence. They would tack on two more
in the top of the seventh, as a Boyer
single brought home Kruckenberg
followed by pinch-hitter Allen
smacking a grandout that brought
home Almond.
Kruckenberg swung the big stick
in this game, going 2 for 3 including
a homerun and a double which drove
in two runs while she scored two
herself. Boyer was 2 for 4 and also
drove in a run. Axtell had a 2 for 4
night and scored a run. Also hitting
singles were Almond, Shivers, Jana
Willard and Allen. Kruckenberg,
Almond and Boyer posted steals,
with Bell and Kruckenberg showing
plate patience in drawing a free pass
each.
Crail took the loss in the circle,
Sam Kruckenberg tries for a base hit during the home
game with Bishop Garrigan. The junior scored a run in that
game, and hit a homer and a double versus SE Webster.

allowing just two earned in seven
hits with two walks and two K’s.
“This was our third straight
one-run loss,” said McLaughlin.
“It was disappointing, because we
gave them a six-run lead after four
innings which was due mostly to our
errors. We were also facing a pitcher
that we should have hit a lot harder.
We had the tying and go-ahead runs
on once again when the game ended.
It’s good to see that we don’t quit and
keep battling back late in ball games.
We would instead want to take a lead
in a game and force the other team to
battle back against us.”
On Thursday, the team hosted
Bishop Garrigan with the Golden
Bears taking an 11-2 win. The
visitors did most of their damage
in the second and fourth innings,
scoring six runs combined. The
Eagles pushed across single runs in
their half of the second and sixth
frames, but were also plagued by
seven errors that helped Garrigan’s
cause.
Bell was 2 for 3 with a double and
an RBI, while Boyer also went 2 for
3 and drove in a run. Kruckenberg
and Heather Wilson scored those
runs. Heather and Allen also reached
on singles. Kruckenberg and Boyer
both had a stolen base each.
Sarah pitched five innings,
allowing seven earned runs while
walking none and striking out one.
Heather allowed just one earned
with three K’s.
“We had more errors than hits, and
their top five hitters combined for
13 hits and 10 runs,” said the head
coach. “Almond left with an ankle
injury and will be out for awhile.
It was not our night, other than two
hits each by Boyer and Bell with Aja
getting a double on one of them.”
At a Saturday tournament in
Belmond, the purple and gold lost
to Mason City Newman 6-1. Their
other game with Forest City was
rained out. The Knights plated three
scores in the third inning and two in
the seventh inning, while the Eagles
lone run came in the third as Bell
reached on a single then scored off a
Jarika Eisentrager base hit. Crail and
Shivers also reached first on base
hits. Kruckenberg, Eisentrager, Crail
and Bell all had a stolen base each.
Heather took the loss in the circle,
going the distance in giving up four
earned runs while walking just one
and throwing two K’s.
“We played a good ball game
against a tough team that had
five slap hitters in their lineup,”
said McLaughlin. “With the wind
blowing out, they hit a two-run
homer and scored three runs in
the third for a 3-0 lead. Other than
giving up two unearned runs in the
last inning, we really played a great
defensive game in getting many outs
that we would not have gotten earlier
in the season.”
The team is now 3-14 overall,
and hosts Clarion-Goldfield this
Wednesday before traveling to CAL
on Thursday. After a home contest
with Hampton-Dumont on Friday,
they play St. Edmond at Rogers
Sports Complex next Monday.

Eagles struggle to get
back into win column
Wilde, Shivers smash doubles versus Garrigan
BY LES HOUSER
After winning four of their first
six games of the season, the Eagle
Grove varsity baseball team is now
mired in a five-game losing streak
following last week’s action on the
diamond.
Last Wednesday at Algona,
they dropped a 6-2 decision to the
Bulldogs. Algona plated two runs in
each of the third and sixth innings,
while the home Eagles put their two
scores on the board in the fourth.
Mike Dicke hit a double, while
Kent Jorgensen was 2 for 3 with an
RBI. Tyler Vorrie was 1 for 3 and
drove in a run, with Austin Griffin
going 2 for 3. Deion Shivers and
Brian Gonzalez both scored a run,
with Shivers also recording the only
steal for the Eagles.
Devon Omvig took the loss,
working 5 1/3 innings in allowing
two earned runs on eight hits. He
issued two walks and threw four K’s.
Jacob Grandgeorge pitched the rest
of the game, surrendering no earned
runs and no hits.
“We played our second best game
of the year,” said head skipper Bruce
Rholl. “But we runners on at crucial
times and couldn’t get a key hit.
Devon kept them off balance, but
then we gave up a late walk and then
he reached second. He came home
on a base hit and that’s how they
won. I’m proud of the kids. They
fought hard and should have won.”
On Friday, the team hosted Bishop
Garrigan with the Golden Bears
taking a 6-1 victory. The purple and
gold scored their lone run in the first,
with the Bears plating four of their
own in the third inning.
Jake Wilde and Shivers both hit
doubles in the game, with Wilde
going 2 for 2 and Shivers 1 for 3.
Wilde scored the run. Grandgeorge
was 2 for 3, while Dylan Thielen,
Jorgensen and Griffin all collected
a base hit each. Wilde also ran wild
on the base paths in grabbing two
steals.
Vorrie went the distance in taking
the loss, allowing no earned runs on
a five-hitter with five walks and six
K’s.
“My hat’s off to their pitcher, he
dominated the game with probably
14 strikeouts,” said Rholl. “Errors
killed us, and you can’t do that
against a good team. Garrigan put
the ball in play.”
Stats were not yet available for
the Monday, June 9 16-10 loss to
Webster City. “It was a case of
questionable umpiring for us,” said
the head coach. “We got the lead
early, then I think the kids put it on
cruise control from there. I told them
you can’t do that. The Lynx played
hard and came back. I felt sorry for
Tyler. He was going right or left near
the edges, and the ump wouldn’t call
it unless down the middle. You can’t
throw like that against a good hitting
team.”
The team is now 4-8 overall, with
a 2-5 conference record, and takes
on Clarion-Goldfield at home on
Wednesday. They host HamptonDumont on Friday, then play at St.
Edmond next Monday.
Jacob Grandgeorge gets ready to receive the ball for the
routine out at first base versus the Golden Bears. The
junior had two hits in that game, and has been also seeing
some work on the mound this year.

A survivor’s story
18
EaglE grovE EaglE
Mark Havens is this year’s Wright County Relay for Life Honorary Survivor
by Kim demory
Mark Havens was only in his
early 30s when he was diagnosed
with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma .
It was 1992, and Mark was
shaving when he noticed a lump
on his neck, under his jaw. Blood
work, bone marrow tests, and more
confirmed his fears - he had cancer.
His first treatment was in the
Mason City hospital. When it was
time for his second treatment, their
new Cancer Center had just been
completed, so his sessions moved to
that facility. With it being so new,
Mark joked that he was kind of their
guinea pig and probably the youngest
cancer patient there at that point.
In total, Mark endured 16
rounds of chemotherapy using a
combination of eight drugs. The
treatments worked, and Mark went
back to life as normal.
In 2009, Mark once again
noticed enlarged lymphnoids. This
time, they were under his arm. The
doctor wasn’t concerned as his blood
work had all come back normal. As
it was getting closer to his yearly
check-up time in 2010, the lump
was still there, and then, “boom,
out popped another one. It really
wasn’t a big shock,” said Mark when
he got the test results back that he
did indeed, once again, have NonHodgkins Lymphoma.
Further testing showed, however,
that it was not a relapse from 1992.
Instead, it was a different type of
the disease as there are many he
learned.
“Treatments have come a long,
long way (since the first round in
1992),” Mark said. “Fundraisers
like Relay for Life play a big part in
that.”

Believe it or not, even though
he was 18 years older, Mark said the
treatments the second time around
were easier. There were only six
rounds of chemo, and it was a five
drug combo he was given. He knows
this is because of money raised for
continued cancer research from
organizations like Relay for Life.
Although Mark hasn’t done
the relay every year, he is proud to
be part of a team this year, and also
serving as the “Honorary Survivor.”
He has been cancer free for four
years now. In the pasts, Mark has
also carried the Relay banner during
the survivor’s lap. He is continually
amazed at how “awesome” the event
is, and how touching it is to see the
people walking as survivors that he
never even realized had cancer.
Mark is looking forward to the
Wright County Relay for Life taking
place this Saturday evening in
Belmond beginning at 6 p.m. at the
Belmond High School located at 411
10th Avenue NE. You are invited to
join him and the many others who
will be there, walking to find a cure
for cancer and walking to celebrate
life.
Mark and his wife, Terri, and
their two sons, Derek and Travis live
in the Belmond area.
