Pool cover saves Wright Medical Wellness Center thousands; see it during Senior Day

BY KIM DEMORY egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Wright Medical Wellness Center (WMWC) opened their doors in Eagle Grove seven-and-ahalf years ago. They continue to be as popular today as they were back then, and just one of the reasons why is the heated therapy pool.

People travel from around the area to reap the benefits of aquatic exercise, whether it be for therapy to recover from an injury or surgery, or be it for fitness. That is why the Eagle Grove Rotary Club and Our Foundation for the Future partnered together with Wright Medical Wellness Center to purchase a pool cover.

According to Lonny Trenary, Wright Medical Wellness Center leader, the cover saves the facility a few hundred dollars a month in energy costs. The pool cover arrived in mid-January, keeping the swimming temperatures up for the approximate 250 patrons who regularly use the pool, while

keeping the cost of operating it down for the facility.

Details are not yet finalized, but according to Trenary, WMWC is working on plans to make the pool benefit even more people in the area. They are discussing with the Eagle Grove Parks and Recreation Board the possibility of opening the heated pool this winter for the kids. You would not need to be a member, but could instead pay a per person/per visit admission fee.

Watch for more details on that later this fall.

Other services available at WMWC include a hot tub, sauna, weight room, fitness area, p hysic a l /o c c up a t io n a l /s p e e ch therapy (through Iowa Specialty Hospital), karate (two times a week), and other miscellaneous classes at different times of the year. WMWC members also have access to a personal trainer should they wish.

WMWC currently has an estimated 500 members. They are

hoping that number will increase during their annual Senior Day, coming up June 2nd.

Senior Citizens from Eagle Grove and the surrounding areas are invited to stop by between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. to check out the facility, ask questions, and sign up for a membership at 10 percent off original price if you so wish. This is a one-day only saving offer.

“I would say 60 to 70 percent of the senior citizens sign up on this day,” said Trenary. “We understand the majority of our population is seniors, so we want to encourage their use of the facility.”

If you are considering joining WMWC, Trenary invites you to stop by anytime and give it a try. A member of the staff would be happy to walk you through the facility and show you how the equipment works.

New members can try it free a couple of times, no obligation. Access is available 24/7 for members.

“We invite you in. Try it out, no pressure,” said Trenary.

Jana Amdahl has been a State Farm Insurance agent for nearly 30 years. Friday, May 30, will be her final day before retirement. An Open House is being held that day to help her celebrate. Stop in and wish her well between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

BY KIM DEMORY egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Jana Amdahl has spent nearly the last three decades going to work in Eagle Grove as the State Farm Insurance agent. On Friday, May 30, she’ll walk through that door for the very last time. She will instead take on the roll of retiree, leaving her with more time to enjoy golf, travel, family/friends, and reading “noninsurance related” materials.

Looking back, Amdahl is amazed just how quickly the time flew by. She had been employed as a legal assistant with Larry Ivers for 10 years, when the then State Farm agent, Mike Dannewitz, approached her about taking over the position.

“I loved my job with Larry,” Amdahl said.

She never gave the State Farm job much consideration; after all, she had small children at home and was also serving as the Mayor of Eagle Grove at the time. Dannewitz didn’t give up, however. He came back three times, and that’s when her husband, Myron, encouraged her to just actually think about it.

With no experience in insurance, other than the fact she had been insured by State Farm since she was a child (and now that she was married with children) she decided to take a leap of faith and took the job.

Shaking their sillies out Kindergarten and first grade musical Informances

Leslie Wenzel is excited that the new greenhouse at Robert Blue Middle School is finally a reality, providing limitless opportunities for students throughout the school. Photo by Kim Demory

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Most five, six, seven, and eight year olds love the spotlight. On Friday, May 23, Eagle Grove’s kindergartners got their first chance to be in it as they took to the middle school stage to sing and dance for family and friends.

The first graders, the experienced pros by now, returned more knowledgeable how the show works and were ready to show the audience how much they’ve grown

in the last year and what remarkable performers they’ve become.

Under the direction of Karla Tweeten, the classes performed different songs that left the kids acting, giggling, and of course, shaking their sillies out.

Now that the first graders are seasoned stage performers, they will get to perform an evening concert like the “big kids” next year. They are looking forward to their concert debut this fall.

Growing green

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net During the 2011 - 2012 school year, Leslie Wenzel, a Robert Blue Middle School special education teacher, discovered a hidden treasure lurking off Room 27 on the second wing at the south side of Robert Blue Middle School - an abandoned greenhouse.

Her imagination automatically kicked into overdrive of the many ways she could use a facility like this to benefit not only her students, but all students in the building.

She got to work writing grants and seeking other contributions to replace the dilapidated building.

Thanks to the contributions of many, that dream has finally been achieved, and Robert Blue Middle School has been “growing green” since March of this year.

With the help of Tony Axtell, a brand new greenhouse went up, but not before custodial staff and volunteers tore down the old structure. A supply building was also constructed between the greenhouse and Room 27. The new greenhouse is wheelchair accessible and features tables built by the students during Aaron Eilerts’ Day this past February. Many of the pots, planters, and other tools and supplies have also been donated by members of the community.

“We always need more pots… and we will take whatever anybody has to donate. We would love to have them,” said Wenzel.

Students from multiple classrooms (math, science, special education, etc.) have utilized the new greenhouse this year, with the third set of plants growing now. Collectively, they’ve grown flowers, vegetables, peppers, tomato

plants - and they’ve even stored trees in there from the Arbor Day Foundation. They’ve also grown fungus for science experiments to test hypothesis.

Next year, Wenzel is hoping that even more teachers, including the elementary, will utilize the greenhouse. She is also hoping to expand on using it for more than just growing plants, like running more experiments, for example. Another goal is to offer a mini course on how to grow things in a greenhouse.

Wenzel admits that even she was unaware of how much different it is than growing plants and flowers outside. If eighth graders took such a class, it could provide certification for them, giving them an employable skill and a certificate of work experience.

Wenzel hopes to eventually expand the greenhouse program even more, transplanting flowers outside, offering fruits/vegetables for sale to help fund projects, etc.

The cool temperatures this year did not allow for such endeavors, but hopefully next year.

The overall cost of the new greenhouse project was approximately $15,000.

Wenzel said it wouldn’t have been possible without the financial support of the school, the Masonic Lodge, Rotary Club, Our Foundation for the Future, the Wright County Charitable Foundation, and various community members. They helped make the dream a reality, and the school children are benefitting.

Work continues on the irrigation and temperature control systems.

With a successful first year of growing under their belts, Wenzel is looking forward to what the future holds.

The kindergarten students show off their cute and innocent sides.

Angela Gloede’s and Beth Nelson’s first graders get their groove on while they sing.

Every kid knows the tune of “BINGO.” Now the kindergartners in Aly Dalhauser’s, Camy McCoy’s, and Stacy Osborn’s classes know how to spell it, to.

The first graders in Beth Nelson’s and Angela Gloede’s classes Ashley Hanson’s and Denise Axtell’s first graders are all smiles learn how to hold on to a note until Ms. Tweeten cuts them off, when it’s their time to shine on stage. no matter how long that note might last.

THEN

In first grade, you learn more advanced songs and motions, like this version of “Do-Re-Mi” from sound of music. Pictured above, the students in Denise Axtell’s and Ashley Hanson’s classes learn the sign for the musical notes to help them understand how a pitch in your voice goes up and down when you sing.

Amdahl to retire Continued from Page 2 “The rest is history as they say,” said Amdahl.

On February 1, 1985, Amdahl became the new Eagle Grove State Farm Insurance agent. In 1986, the Amdahls bought the building the business is currently in today. After some remodeling to restore it back to some of it’s original style, the unique building was featured in a State Farm national magazine. At the time, there were roughly 17,000 agents, so she considered it an honor to be chosen as a feature business.

Over the years, Amdahl built a lot of relationships through State Farm, and formed many close friendships.

She did so by paying attention to the little details - like sending a birthday card to each of her clients on their special day.

“I wasn’t just helping people (figure out their insurance needs), I was helping friends,” she said. “I always sold them only the coverage they needed, not what would benefit me.”

Amdahl added that one of the aspects of the job she has enjoyed most is the people.

“It’s like being part of a family…

I’ve seen three generations of some families - births, deaths, weddings, graduations, and more,” she said. “(Retiring) will be very sad, but now I’ll just see (my former customers) uptown instead of at the office. I’ve developed a lot of good friendships over the years.”

Relay for Life in Belmond, June 21 Teams, volunteers, sponsors still being accepted

by KIM DEMOry egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net More than 1.6 million people were diagnosed with a form of cancer in 2013, according to statistics from the American Cancer Society posted on the cancer.org website.

For decades, The American Cancer Society has been holding special events, like Relay for Life, to raise funds for continued research in the fight against cancer. Their goal is to finish that fight soon and make this “cancer’s last century.”

Wright County continues to be a proud supporter of this mission, again hosting another Relay for Life this summer. This year’s event will be held in Belmond on Saturday, June 21 from 6 - 11 p.m., and this year’s coordinators Jaci Gansen, Tonya Collins, and Nicole Verbrugge, are hoping you will get involved, too.

There’s still time to join a team, become a volunteer, be a sponsor, or come out an be a part of the Luminary Ceremony.

“Relay for Life is an opportunity to make a difference,” said Gansen.

“I’m really excited to see the teams come out and have fun.”

One of the events includes a gentleman who has been growing out his hair specifically for Relay for Life. A stylist has volunteered her time to come to Relay and get this gentlemen’s hair, who will then donate it to Locks of Love, an organization who takes real hair donations and makes wigs for children facing diseases that result in loss of hair.

Gansen encourages anyone else who might consider cutting their hair for a donation to come out to Relay for Life and have theirs cut as well. Likewise, if you are a stylist and would like to donate your time, you are encouraged to attend as well.

The Luminary Ceremony will take place at 10 p.m. The lights will go down and the luminaries will be lit up to honor those who have battled, or are currently battling cancer. There’s still time to purchase a luminary for only a $10 donation. They can be made in honor of, or in memory of a loved one. For more information, please contact Kim Martin.

Bringing a smile to the faces of everyone present will be the “Dance with Me Studio” performers. These

Wright County relay for life will be held in Belmond on Saturday, June 21 from 6 - 11 p.m. all money raised helps fund cancer research. Eagle archive photo young dancers, under the direction of Michelle Buseman, will perform several numbers that you won’t want to miss.

A DJ will provide musical motivation the rest of the evening to keep you energized and help raise money to find the cure for cancer.

Gansen said that they are also hoping to hold a silent auction during the Relay to raise additional funds.

If you are able to donate something towards this, it would be greatly appreciated. Gansen said that she realizes people and businesses are continually asked for donations, so she asks that you even consider donating your time for silent auction - mowing grass, community service, baby sitting, etc. Baked goods are always a hit as well. Every item sold gets the American Cancer Society one step closer to finding a cure.

This year’s goal for Wright County is to raise $36,459. Money raised from Wright County Coaches vs. Cancer events will go towards this total, as well as luminary and registration money from teams (suggested $100 per person). The sponsorship goal is at $7,000, of which they have currently raised $4,500. The committee, along with the American Cancer Society staff

partner for Wright County, Lenore Theobald, also set a goal of 10 teams to register. They’ve already exceeded that with 11 teams, and they are hoping that will go even higher as the event approaches.

If you would like to register a team at Wright County Relay for Life, you are encouraged to go to the website: relayforlife.org and enter your zip code. Then select Relay for Life Belmond sign up and follow the prompts.

Teams who have been raising money are encouraged to turn in their donations in advance of Relay during Bank Night, which will be held at First Citizens in Clarion on June 17 from 5 - 6 p.m. Those reaching the $100 donation will also receive their Relay for Life t-shirt that night.

“We really have a passion for this,” said Gansen.

For more information, you are encouraged to contact the following committee members: Jaci Gansen, Event Chair, jlgansen@gmail.com, 641-330-6500; Tonya Collins, Team Chair, tonyapcollins@yahoo.com, 515-851-2677; Nicole Verbrugge, Treasurer, nicoleverbrugge26@ gmail.com, 515-571-6051.

Amdahl gave notice to State Farm two years ago that she planned to retire in 2014 when she turned 65.

That left the agency with plenty of time to find an acceptable replacement, and Amdahl believes they have done exactly that. Lionel Johnston, son of Tom and Barb Johnston of Eagle Grove, will be taking over the business.

Johnston has been training in Ohio since July of 2013.

“I was very much in favor of Lionel taking over (State Farm in Eagle Grove). You need someone who cares about the town.”

“He’ll do a great job. He’s very personable,” Amdahl added about Johnston.

“There’s so much to learn,…hopefully people are patient as Lionel gets acclimated with 114 products of the company to know.”

Johnston has also been working with Amdahl as a smooth transition is of top-priority for both of them.

“That’s important because these are my people,” Amdahl said.

An Open House celebration will be held in Amdahl’s honor on Friday, May 30 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Members of the community are invited to stop by and wish her well.

Johnston will take over as the State Farm agent on Monday, June 2.

His office will be located at 304 W. Broadway, Eagle Grove.

Iowa Specialty Hospital’s 100th baby of 2014, Nora Madelyn Miller, was born on May 19, 2014, at 8:07 in the morning to parents, Josh and Tracy Miller of Humboldt.

Casey Howell, OB Leader, commented on this accomplishment: “We are truly honored that so many families have chosen Iowa Specialty Hospital for the birth of their baby. I think we have an outstanding Maternity Center, and we love being a part of so many new beginnings!”

Nora will join her siblings, four-year-old Elise and 20-month-old Jocelyn.

Jennifer’s Produce Tidbits

Welcome back to Produce Tidbits.

If you have walked through our Produce Department at Fareway lately, then I’m sure that you have noticed by either the aromatic smell or by seeing, that the fresh soft fruit is here again!

The peach originated in China and has been cultivated since at least 1,000 B.C. Chinese brides carry peach blossoms because they are symbolic of unity and immortality.

The Chinese consider the peach tree to be the tree of life. The only true “wild” peaches are only found in China, where the fruit is sour, small and very fuzzy.

Peach trees traveled west to Persia and then on to the Greeks, via Alexander the Great. The Spaniards brought peaches to South America.

On Christopher Columbus’s second and third trips, he introduced them to America.

There are two different varieties of peaches, freestone and clingstone.

The clingstone peach is exactly as it sounds, the fruit flesh clings to the stone or pit. The freestone is exactly as it sounds also, the fruit flesh pulls away from the stone, when gently twisted. Both of these varieties are

available in yellow or white flesh.

The white flesh peaches are generally sweeter because they are less acidic than the yellow flesh ones. Peaches are an excellent source of Vitamins C, B and A, with a medium-sized fruit containing about 37 calories.

Some facts about peaches include: Juice from peaches is an excellent moisturizer; the pit or stone of the peach is filled with a poisonous substance called hydrocyanic acid; and the peach belongs to the rose family, as does the plum and the apricot.

Next time you walk by the fresh, soft fruit table, pick up a few and add them to your cart. Better yet, ask for a free sample of whatever you wish, we will be glad to accommodate you, so that you can make a better choice of what you want, based on the taste.

Fareway Produce department, where we always strive to be “BEST AT FRESH!” Have a super fantastic week, and get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather that we have been waiting for all winter long! It’s finally here!

Until next time, good-bye!

ISU Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic identifies mushrooms, not safety

By Laura Jesse and Laura Sternweis

The Iowa State University Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic can help Iowans identify the mushrooms growing in their backyards and elsewhere, but cannot say whether they’re safe to eat.

“We have been receiving numerous requests this spring to identify mushrooms and advise on edibility,” said Laura Jesse, director of the ISU Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic. “We are happy to assist in identification of fungi, but we don’t make recommendations about whether you should eat them. In addition, we often receive digital images where we cannot see key characteristics, making it impossible to identify a mushroom with certainty.”

Multiple factors may contribute to wild fungi being potentially poisonous, most of which are beyond the control of the experts who identify the specimens brought into the clinic, Jesse explained.

“Some edible and deadly poisonous mushroom species are not only similar in appearance, but may be found growing together. The toxin content in individual mushrooms may vary, and the effect produced by toxins

may vary from person to person. There are toxins in most ‘edible’ species that must be cooked off in order to be safe, and some ‘edible’ species are very toxic when consumed with alcohol, even within a few days,” Jesse said.

“Fungi that are generally considered edible may cause serious allergic reactions when consumed by some individuals. In addition, wild fungi often are contaminated with pesticides, pollutants, bacteria or other decay organisms, which we cannot reliably assess in the clinic. For these reasons, it is our policy to not recommend edibility of wild fungi,” Jesse said.

The ISU Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic diagnoses plant problems, such as plant diseases, insect damage, and assessment of herbicide damage, and identifies insects and weeds from the field, garden, and home. The PIDC is a joint effort of ISU Extension and Outreach Plant Pathology, Entomology, Horticulture and Agronomy. To learn more about the clinic or to submit a sample, go to www.ent.iastate.edu/pidc.

Put a helmet on your head

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net An estimated 70,000 kids are sent to the emergency room every year from bike riding accidents. Of those incidents, 10,000 are serious, and 300 children die. That is why Sandra Harvey, school nurse, worked so hard to put together an assembly for Eagle Grove Elementary students about bike safety.

Since spring has finally sprung, kids have been out in full-force riding their bikes. While it may seem like too much hassle and take too much time to stop and put on a helmet first, Harvey encouraged the kids to do it.

It just might save their life.

“You need to wear your helmet every time,” she told them. “It is the most important thing to put on before you get on your bike.”

Eagle Grove Chief of Police, Ray Baltran was also on hand for the assembly. He reminded the youngsters that the proper way to wear a helmet is to make sure there are only two finger spaces between your eyebrows and the top of the helmet; the straps should make a “V” shape around your ears; and when the strap is buckled, you should still be able to open and close your mouth comfortably. That is how you ensure the helmet you are wearing is the proper size for you. Remember, bike

Eagle Grove Chief of Police, Ray Baltran, fits a bike helmet for Analise Olson, one of the winners of a free helmet.

helmets are for adults, too.

Baltran would also like to remind all bike riders that they are to follow traffic signs just like a motorized vehicle. You must stop at stop signs, etc. Also, bike riding is not allowed on the sidewalks downtown in front of business stores. You may walk your bikes on the sidewalks, but not ride them.

Beltran reminds the public of a few more safety measures - ride your bike with traffic, not against; make sure to pay attention to your surroundings so you are aware when a vehicle or people are coming up behind you; use your hand signals for turning and stopping. If you don’t know them, learn them.

Global Compassion Network volunteers clean up the home of Marie Benedix, near Correctionville. Photo Provided

Global Compassion Network returns to Correctionville It’s been seven months since an EF4 tornado destroyed the home and farm

of Marie Benedix, a widow who Global Compassion Network’s Domestic Disaster Relief team helped. There is still much work to be done and this week, GCN has returned with a team of volunteers and three excavators to finish cleaning up her property.

“It takes months to recover from a tornado,” explained Dennis Anderson, GCN Domestic Disaster Relief director.

Where nature has destroyed property and damaged hearts, GCN Domestic team responds with help and hope in the form of heavy equipment, willing hands, and strong faith.

“We focus on serving the elderly and those without the resources or physical ability to respond on their own,” Anderson says. “We work with the families to determine what needs to be done, then use our machines and volunteers to pull down damaged structures, remove trees, clean up debris and get the property ready for repairs.”

There is never a charge to the families served by Global Compassion Network. All the funding for fuel, equipment, supplies, and travel expenses for the Domestic Disaster Relief Team comes from Global Compassion Network donors, sponsors and, often, from their own pockets.

“Thanks to the generous support of churches, corporations, and individuals, we are blessed with the tools and the resources to help restore hope in the lives of folks who have gone through the most traumatic situation in their lives,” Anderson says. “But there’s always a need for help covering the cost of fuel, travel and transportation of the heavy equipment. We have to keep fundraising year-round to make sure we can provide the help that’s needed when it’s needed.

Since Global Compassion Network’s Domestic Disaster Relief team formed in 2012, they have responded to tornados in Henryville, Ind.; Oklahoma City; Belmond, Iowa; Correctionville, Iowa; Wayne, Neb; Sioux City, S.D.; and Washington, Ill., as well as an ice storm in Worthington, Minn.

In addition to its Domestic Disaster Relief Team, Global Compassion Network has created a village for orphans and widows in Haiti; an agricultural center and bible camp in Peru; housing for missionaries in Kenya; and sponsorships of children living in poverty in India.

Individuals or organizations interested in contributing may do so online at www.globalcn.us, or by calling the Global Compassion Network headquarters at 515-448-3131.

For information on how to request help after a disaster in your community or to offer assistance in responding to disasters in other geographic areas, please contact Anderson directly at 712-887-0862.

More than 40 kids in grades kindergarten through fourth grade received free bike helmets. The promotion was part of a bike safety assembly held Monday, May 19 and made possible by many sponsors (see list on front page of this week’s Eagle). Photo by Kim Demory

Yard and Garden: All about Perennials

By Richard Jauron and Willy Klein

Perennials can be grown in nearly any garden location—sunny, shady, wet, dry, border, or background.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulture specialists recommend perennials to meet specifications of many gardeners. To have additional questions answered, contact the Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu.

What are some good low maintenance perennials?

All perennials require some maintenance. Watering, fertilizing, pinching, staking, deadheading, dividing and providing winter protection are common maintenance chores. Some perennials require frequent attention through the growing season. Others require minimal care.

Low maintenance perennials for sunny locations include butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa), false blue indigo (Baptisia australis), hardy geranium (Geranium spp.), hardy zinnia (Heliopsis helianthoides), daylily (Hemerocallis spp.), Siberian iris (Iris sibirica), blazing star (Liatris spp.), daffodil (Narcissus spp.), peony (Paeonia hybrids), Russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia), moss

phlox (Phlox subulata), balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorus), black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia spp.), perennial salvia (Salvia x superba), sedum (Sedum spp.), speedwell (Veronica spp.) and ornamental grasses (various species).

Which perennials grow well in wet soils?

When selecting perennials, it’s important to choose plants that are suitable for the planting site.

Perennials that grow well in moist to wet soils include sweet flag (Acorus calamus), black snakeroot (Actaea racemosa), Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), goat’s beard (Aruncus dioicus), swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), turtlehead (Chelone spp.), Joe-pye weed (Eupatorium purpureum), queen-

Community Action Month

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Fifty years ago, Lyndon B. Johnson declared the “Unconditional War on Poverty.” For 50 years, Upper Des Moines Opportunity, Inc. (UDMO), along with other Community Action Agencies, have helped individuals and families overcome poverty and advocate for those facing hard times.

In fiscal year 2014, UDMO assisted 1,553 individuals in 603 Wright County households. UDMO Wright County Outreach provides basic services for local families in need. A variety of locally funded services such as food and nonfood pantries, meat, housekeeping supplies, holiday projects, and emergency utility or rent assistance are offered to families in crisis situations. These UDMO services in collaboration with other agencies, churches, businesses and service organizations provide support to families facing difficult times.

Wright County Outreach is proud of its “neighbor helping neighbor” approach to assisting families and the value of providing a ‘hand up.’

UDMO Wright County Outreach, along with other UDMO services such as FaDSS, Weatherization, Low Income Heating Energy Assistance, Emergency Housing, and various other programs assist us with meeting our Community Action Promise that “Community Action changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live.

We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.” Together we are making a difference with low-income and at-risk individuals and families in Wright County. Thank you for those who have generously supported UDMO over the past 50 years.

The organization’s mission is to make a positive contribution to the quality of life and the economic development of the greater Fort Dodge area through the delivery of exciting, family-friendly entertainment and performing arts options. In years when a profit is realized, 100 percent of the net proceeds remain within the organization and are used to help stage additional events like Oktoberfest, to attract bigger headliners each year and to perpetuate the organization’s mission in down financial years.

Are you giving yourself freely? God gave himself freely so that we may have eternal life with Him. His son didn’t have a place to sleep, food to eat, or even people who loved him. And yet, he still took up the cross to honor His Father. Jesus gave himself freely, without worrying what would come next or where his dinner would be coming from.

He gave Himself for us. That’s it, no worries, just love. Do you love your enemies enough to do the same? How about the poor and needy? What will you give up today to honor your Father?

Lynyrd Skynyrd to headline 2014 summer event tot he southern rock genre.

They are best known for their driving live shows and most identified by their signature songs “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Free Bird.” Other notable Skynyrd standards include “What’s Your Name,” “Gimme Three Steps,” “Saturday Night Special,” “Call Me the Breeze,” “Tuesday’s Gone,” and “That Smell.” The Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame band has a catalog of over 60 albums, over 30 million units sold worldwide with their classic American rock anthem “Sweet Home Alabama” having sold over 2 million ring tones.

Tragedy beset the band in 1977 in which a plane crash claimed the lives of three of its members, including Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines.

After a 10-year absence from touring, the band reformed in 1987, including Gary Rossington with Johnny Van Zant, younger brother of Ronnie, stepping into the leaad vocal role that his brother once held. Currently led by core members Gary Rossington (guitar), Johnny Van Zant (vocals), and Rickey Medlocke (guitar), the band recently recorded a new studio album entitled “Last of a Dying Breed” continuing the legacy that started over 35 years ago in Jacksonville, Florida.

Tickets for Lynyrd Skynyrd at Rogers Sports Complex in Fort Dodge go on Sale Saturday, may 17. Tickets can be purchased online at www. ticketweb.com, or by phone at 866-468-3401. Tickets will also be available for purchase at local Fort Dodge ticket sales locations including HyVee and Hy-Vee Drug Store.

Shellabration’s long wait rewarded

Five months, two weeks, four days, multiple offers and many sleepless nights later, Shellabration finally has a band for Shellabration 2014.

In the words of Shellabration President, Jim Reed, “Is it ever a good one.

It is with high excitement and a sense of relief that we announce Lynyrd Skynyrd as headliner,” said Reed. This year represents the latest date the organization has ever confirmed their headliner.

Prior to 2014, March 6th had been the previous latest they landed a band when booking Foreigner in 2012. “It’s not a record we aspired to break,” added Reed. “That said, we never wavered. We stayed the course, worked our pecking order and here we are, having booked one of the top artists on our list. Life is good.”

With the bank booking part of the process behind them, Shellabration now goes into high gear recruiting sponsors for the event. “The amount of time it took to confirm an artist has greatly reduced the window of time we have to court potential sponsors. Hopefully interested parties will respond quickly,” said Reed. “The late artist confirmation isn’t the only organizational record being set this year. The cost to produce Shellabration 2014 will approach $225,000 breaking last year’s total of just over $167,000. This year’s show is a proving ground of sorts for us, explained Reed.

The number of tickets we sell will help us determine whether or not our market can financially sustain shows of this magnitude and bigger yet.

We’re sure hoping it can.”

Lynyrd Skynyrd is credited with bringing vast popularity

Christensen medals at state track; Morris competes in 400 hurdle event The Eagle Grove girls track completed their season at the girls state track meet May 22nd through the 24th on the blue track in Des Moines competing in class 2A division. Before talking about the state meet I want to thank the members of this year’s Eagle Grove track team for the commitment to track and field, along with the desire to improve their individual skills and willingness to expand their talents into new events or distances.

“The number of individual events exceeds team relays but in the end teams that can establish a solid pool of 200 and 400 meter runners can win meets with strong relay events”, stated coach Herrington. “Having girls willing to advance their skills and abilities from 100 to 200s, 200 to 400s, 400s to 800s, 400 meter hurdles, and field events strengthens the depth of your track program. I feel with the returning runners along with next year’s incoming freshman, Eagle Grove girls track can have greater success and representation at the state track meet. Track and field has become a year round activity for the top performers, not requiring 24/7 training but finding an hour 3 to 4 times a week to maintain endurance or speed you established this season and bringing that into the 2015 season as your base. It is kind of like a stair step approach through your high school career helping you reach the optimal performance your senior season,” stated coach Herrington.

The Lady Eagles arrived at the girls state track meet with suitcases and 4 events in hand ready to compete against the other top 23 individuals or relays in class 2A. As a coach my most important goal was for the girls to have fun and enjoy the experience of state track and to represent Eagle Grove with class both on and off the track. They worked hard since February and earned the reward of competing at the state track meet.

I encouraged them to soak in the experience, build memories, and remember life’s financial success isn’t determined by individual gold or championships, rather one’s ability to transition success off the track and into the classroom will determine the fortunes of life.

The 24th place finisher in the 2014 state track meet might be the most successful college graduate in 2018.

The first competitor to represent Eagle Grove on the track was Jana Willard in the 3,000 meter run on Thursday afternoon. Jana turned in a very solid performance crossing the finish line in 10 place out of 24 competitors with a time of 11:17. I discussed with Jana the fact a state 3,000 meter run is still run on a 400 meter track but totally different from a pace perspective. You can’t let the field get out away from you as the pack generally doesn’t come back to the 2nd pack of runners. She needed to get out in the 12th - 15th position and work her way up as the race unfolded. In the end, Jana ran a PR for the season and looked really strong in the last 100 meters passing a couple for competitors for 10th place. In fact, it appears she has energy left in the tank based on her kick and she will learn from experience. Girls sometime fear the lack of a kick in the 3000 meter run. If she spreads the energy out over the race and runs the 400 legs 2 - 3 seconds faster she breaks the 11 minute barrier and will compete for state medals. Jana’s next 3 years in track and cross country can be memorable for her and just needs to be committed to maintaining a mileage program 5 hours per week throughout the year.

The Eagles distance medley team of Madison Anderson, Aja Bell, Samantha Helmke, and Tiffany Christensen lead class 2A rankings this entire season with solid performances. This was a fun relay to watch this entire season as they worked very hard in practice and meets to smooth out their exchanges and improve on the individual legs of this race. “All season long I told this group they had a chance to do something very special at the state meet”, stated coach Herrington.

The relay had executed perfectly all season long but the state qualifying meet was held under terrible weather conditions and we had an unpredictable relay exchange at the state qualifying meet. If we run that relay 10 times I would bet on 10 perfect exchanges. Fortunately for the other 23 teams and especially the team from Cascade the Lady Eagles were seeded in the 1st section of the Distance Medley.

The top 8 qualifying times were seeded in the 3rd section and that included Cascade. “I was so proud of how these 4 ladies responded from the state qualifying meet and

the performance they gave at the state meet”, commented coach Herrington. This group of girls stunned the crowd of over 10,000 people by turning in a 4:13.16 performance sitting as the top time to beat.

The top time out of the 2nd section was a 4:17 setting up the final section. The girls stood hand in hand on the 50 yard line of drake stadium through the 2nd and 3rd sections a picture I will keep in my mind forever! Cascade came out of the last section and turned in a 4:12.44 with their 800 anchor leaning at the finish line to capture the DM title. The crowd would have loved to seen Eagle Grove in the last section against Cascade, but I am certain Cascade knows the outcome in a head to head run against Eagle Grove’s DM relay. I told the girls, “to be proud of how they bounced back at the state, secured the silver medal in class 2A, and put themselves in the school record book with a 4:13.16, 2 seconds ahead of the old record.

Cascade and Eagle Grove head-tohead in the last section of DM would have been and interesting race, but knowing my team we would have brought home a state champion DM relay team for Eagle Grove. In the end, the memory of standing hand-in-hand and working as a unit will bring bigger rewards for them later in life than the 0:00.72 second spread between Cascade and Eagle Grove.” The relay returns 3 of 4 legs for 2015 and has the tools to be a threat next season. The returning runners are hungry to see this relay make its 3rd straight appearance to state and challenge for the podium in 2015.

The final day set the stage for our final competitor, Tiffany Christensen, and her individual 800 and 1500 races. Tiff was out to defend her 2014 performance in these events and excelled with a top 3 performance in the 800. She followed that up later in the day by defending her title in the 1500 meter run setting a new state record with a time of 4:38.23.

It has been exciting having the opportunity to coach and work with Tiff in cross country and track/ field over the last 4 years. She has been a great listener and executed our training programs and racing strategies. As a coach I teach runners Sept and April times are not the measuring stick but the ingredient to success. “A coach and runner’s

ability to blend the proper speed, pace, and endurance workouts throughout the season will be the key to running PRs in October and May. It is those ingredients that will give a runner the opportunity to challenge for top finishes”, stated coach Herrington.

Until her junior year Tiff wanted to lead races from start to finish.

She has listened and learned that race strategy is also a vital part of success. As she progressed through her junior year she began to understand it’s not where you start the race or where you are at the half way point, but rather where you cross the finish line. This year I feel she recognized the importance of this race strategy and understands pace wins races. We lose a great competitor in cross country and track/field, a competitor who has developed over the last 4 years, and like other recent lady graduates has built another step in the staircase for Eagle Grove girls on cross country course and track! I am excited to find and help develop the next runner desiring to build their step in our staircase to running! Instead of next batter up, its next runner up in Eagle Grove girls track and cross country. The 2014 cross country season is just around the corner and any middle school or high school girls interested in competing can contact coach Herrington or coach Groth!

2014 was a great season for Eagle Grove girls track with various runners, relays, and field events set PR’s. The Lady Eagles finished 10th in class 2A in 2013, following that up with a 7th place team finish in 2014. I feel the key to girls track is numbers, heart, and desire to take yourself beyond your capabilities with every stride over 4 years. Not where you are as a freshman but how you walk of the track or cross country course your senior year. I want to thank this year’s participants & their families for supporting and building the foundation for Eagle Grove girls track & field. The goal for 2015, is building memories by numbers and a bus load of participants heading south to the 2015 girls state track meet!

The Eagle boys team was represented in Des Moines by Josh Morris, who finished 24th in the 400 hurdles event on Friday. His time was 58.46 in his first-ever appearance on the famous blue oval.
