Pastor Paul Oman was blessed with the talent to paint. Now, he uses that talent to spread the message of the Gospel. Photo provided.

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Jesus painted pictures in the minds of people by the stories he told. Thousands of years later, people are still visual in nature, and the mind’s eye creates a scene for the things that are talked about.

Pastor Paul Oman, like Jesus, paints a picture in the mind’s of people, only literally, rather than through verbal story-telling skilss.

Oman began drawing and painting as a child. In his adult years, he found a way to use his gift from God to spread the Gospel in a unique, memorable, and powerful way - by painting larger-than-life murals in

front of a live audience.

During the one-hour free presentation, Oman brings the Word of God to life right before your very eyes as you see the painting develop into a story, hear the music, and listen to the scripture.

It’s been said from audiences that there is an “ah-huh” moment when you begin to see the picture develop.

Small children are intrigued, wanting to see, learn, and hear more about the story he is painting. A visual connection is made for both young and old alike.

This experience is like none other that you have witnessed before. It truly is an amazing way

to understand God’s word. Sit back; relax; watch; be amazed on Wednesday, Oct. 21 from 7 - 8 p.m. at the New Hope Lutheran Church (United Church of Christ building) in Eagle Grove.

Weekly Update: Harvest is here and yields appear to be well above trendline. However, while a cool growing season with timely rains usually equates to large yields, it also contributes to diseases. Keep an eye out in your corn fields especially, as crown rot and anthracnose are everwhere and taking a toll on standability.

Seniors - 3rd Place

Juniors - 1st Place

By Eagle Grove Police Chief Ray Beltran presented Michael Stuckey for approval as the seventh officer for the department at this past Monday’s City Council meeting. The Council gave approval for the hiring. Stuckey is an Eagle Grove native, and has most recently been employed at the Fort Dodge Correctional Facility.

He has been training for about seven months already, but still needs to attend the academy. Stuckey was then sworn in by Mayor Sandra McGrath.

“We’re excited for his new role with our department,” said Beltran.

The Council approved, by motion, a special request to allow Sarah Schaefer to have a miniature pony on her North Washington property. “The City Code does not permit livestock within city limits,” said McGrath in opening the discussion. She then turned things over to City Attorney Brett Legvold.

“This is defined as an emotional support animal, and according to the Fair Housing Act her request can, and should be, accommodated. The pony cannot run at large or keep neighbors up at night.” While one Council member had slight reservations, the The freshmen fans cheer on their team to a second place finish.

motion still carried unanimously.

Under department reports, Beltran stated that officer Garrett Quintus will be starting the DARE program at the middle school shortly after the first of next year. “The school is excited about bringing this back,” said the Chief. Public Works Director Robert Lunda said that the overall appearance of the DD#94 waterway is much better following most of it being mowed. City Administrator Mike Boyd informed the Council about the increasing problem of dealing with lime sludge removal.

“It gets more expensive every year,” said Boyd. He is looking at possible options to address the issue.

In other action the Council: -set the date of November 2 for a public hearing on the Urban Renewal Plan amendment. This is needed to allow for TIF initiatives for Gold Eagle Co-op’s new truck wash on Highway 17 on the north edge of the city. It would be held prior to consideration of a proposed agreement; -approved beer/liquor licenses for Rails Bar & Grill and Eagle Bowl; -approved building permits for Ron Gustafson (concrete pad), David JeanBlank (garage), Julie Abbott (deck replacement) and David Anderson (wood shed).

Engineer sharing agreement with Hancock approved Kacey Ginn

wrightcomonitor@gmail.com

At their regular meeting on Monday, the board of supervisors passed Resolution 2015-25, which approves the Wright-Hancock County engineer sharing agreement.

Adam Clemons, Wright County engineer, will now be dividing his time between the two counties and serving them both.

Both counties looked over the agreement separately and had it approved by their respective attorneys. They then held a joint conference call to talk over final details and vote to approve. Clemons said that details Hancock wanted to include in the agreement were Clemons’s responsibilities, including doing employee evaluations, which Clemons already does in Wright County. The agreement will renew automatically after six months unless annulled.

“If we think it’s going well, we’ll keep going with it,” Clemons said. Clemons also said he had seen engineer sharing work when he was an intern in Butler and Hart counties, so he was familiar with the approach.

“I think we’ll be seeing more sharing like this. I think it’s good for both counties,” Supervisor Watne said, commenting that the arrangement worked well for rural Iowa, since both counties have the potential to save money due to dividing compensation for the position. The agreement will save Wright $52,000 annually, according to Board Chairman Karl Helgevold.

During the conference call, David Solheim, Hancock County attorney, said the “most complicated and least important” part of the agreement was vehicle sharing and mileage compensation, but that it had been worked out satisfactorily.

“I think Adam and I reached an agreement on most of the issues you guys had wanted us to look into,” he

said.

“There’s going to be items we’ll critique, obviously, if this keeps going, and we’ll just see where we can find efficiencies,” Clemons said.

One improvement suggested

by Hancock was that, rather than spending every other Friday in the different counties as planned, Clemons could make Monday his alternate work day. That way, he wouldn’t have to travel to get to both supervisors’ meetings on Monday mornings and could simply plan ahead as to what business would need to be discussed at the meetings he attended. The Wright supervisors thought this was a good idea.

Supervisor Ron Sweers moved to approve the resolution in Hancock County, which was seconded by Supervisor Sis Greiman. Supervisor Rick Rasmussen motioned and Watne seconded in Wright County.

The motion was approved.

Another change in county positions is that of Jeremy Abbas, who is officially being instated as planning and zoning commissioner.

“He seems to enjoy it. Wants to make sure everything’s being taken care of properly,” Clemons said of Abbas. The county intends to get further formal training for Abbas and to supply him with accurate zoning maps. Abbas’s contact number will still be in the engineer’s office.

The board also briefly discussed Resolution 2015-24, which allows businesses to purchase private activity bonds with Wright County as the conduit issuer. The resolution had been approved two weeks before, but Bryce Davis, county economic development director, said the wording was still being revised. “We want it to be a case-bycase, and we want the county to not be obligated for anything,” Davis said of the legal considerations involved.

We all love a parade

The Eagle Grove Homecoming Parade has become a grand tradition to celebrate the week’s festivities. While athletes and groups always prepare a float, some community members do as well, like the EGHS Class of 1995 who had a fun time riding down the streets of Eagle Grove, saying “Hello” to familiar faces.

Sandy Muzey and the EGHS Chorale Department also had a float advertising their upcoming production of “Mary Poppins.”

Thursday, October 8, 2015 PUBLIC NOTICE

WRIGHT COUNTY SUPERVISORS MINUTES SUPERVISORS SEPTEMBER 14, 2015 Chairman Helgevold called the regular meeting of the Wright County Board of Supervisors to order at 9 a.m. Members present were Watne, Rasmussen, and Helgevold.

Minutes of the previous regular meeting of September 8, 2015, were read and approved. Also, minutes of the special meeting of September 11, 2015, were read and approved.

Approved claims for payment.

Motion by Rasmussen, and seconded by Watne, to approve pay estimate #2 (final) and the statement of completion for DD #131 main tile televising.

Held discussion on DD #14 ditch cleanoutrepair. A petition was filed by Josh Gerig of Murray Wise Associates on behalf of Iowa Farmland, requesting the ditch be cleaned out starting at the railroad tracks in Section 30 of Grant Township and continuing north to the end of the ditch in Section 5 of Grant Township.

After discussion, there was a motion by Watne, and seconded by Rasmussen, to set a public hearing on the DD #14 ditch cleanout-repair for October 26, 2015, at 10 a.m. Motion carried.

Helgevold opened the continued hearing from May 18, 2015, and explained that at the previous meeting the Board of Supervisors acting as Trustees for DD #35, on motion dismissed all improvement options due to lack of desirability to proceed. The Board discussed the process of notification and felt that a continued hearing should have taken place at that time to let landowners have a right to attend. Thus, the continued hearing today.

After some discussion of the options, there was a motion by Rasmussen, and seconded by Helgevold, to dismiss all improvement options due to the lack of desirability for the following reasons: agriculture economic uncertainty, members of the district will not receive any substantial benefit from a very costly improvement, and there is a more reasonable alternative access to the creek at the lower end of the district from the property receiving the most benefit should this improvement proceed. Motion carried.

Motion by Watne, and seconded by Rasmussen, to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried.

The new 2016 Hagie DTS10 from Hagie Mfg. features a lightweight, yet rugged design and delivers the next generation of applicators a state-of-the-art machine designed with the capability to widen the application window and maximize productivity. For more info, visit www.hagie.com, or call 800-247-4885. Photos submitted

Hagie Manufacturing introduces new 2016 DTS10 for the next generation of applicators Hagie Mfg. has introduced to the market the newest and most innovative member of its product family, the 2016 DTS10.

Designed for the next generation of applicators, this lightweight, yet rugged self-propelled sprayer delivers to the market a stateof-the-art machine designed with the capability to widen the application window and maximize productivity.

The smallest applicator within the family owned manufacturer’s product lineup, the new 2016 DTS10 packages a high clearance frame and 1,000 gallon solution capacity within one of the industry’s lightest weight and most well balanced machine designs.

Over the past two decades, applicators have become an increasingly vital piece of production agriculture. Within this timeframe, the industry has experienced adoption trends toward larger, yet significantly heavier, equipment solutions to meet developing demands for enhanced productivity.

In recent years, Hagie Mfg. deliberated on the creation of an ultimate sprayer for the evolving industry needs of the next decade.

This machine design would definitively be encompassing of key industry drivers including being weight, balance, capacity, application speed, boom width, grade ability, maneuverability, precision compatibility, safety, price and comfort.

“When evaluating the mid-sized self-propelled sprayer market, customers made clear the desire for a low weight, balanced machine that is compact and maneuverable; all while staying highly productive and lower cost than larger commercial sprayers,” stated Newt Lingenfelter, Senior Product Manager. “The 2016 DTS10 by design has a perfectly balanced, lightweight frame that carries a low center of mass, thus making it compact and easy to maneuver in tight areas. It also features many of the high end options that in the past were only available on the larger units, such as all wheel steer, auto fold, a premium cab, as well as all precision capabilities.”

Featuring a high clearance design and narrow crop package, the new 2016 DTS10 compliments the company’s innovative STS

product line through being well suited for application from early spring clear through late season.

This 1000 gallon dual tank unit weighs in at a notable 18,500 pounds, while offering one of the best weight splits and centers of gravity on the market for exceptional capability to perform in the most adverse conditions or terrain. Featuring a new 90’ boom, drive and auxiliary hydraulic system, the 2016 DTS10 equips operators with functionalities that sprayers in higher classes offer for maximum profit potential.

The luxurious application-specific cab is the largest in class, while offering the ergonomics and the same amenities as the STS model line to provide the best operator experience possible. The large cab and redesigned boom provide optimal visibility whether in the field or in transport. Maximize efficiency of the new 2016 DTS10 with popular options such as All Wheel Steer, Auto- Fold and a Reversing Fan. Combining these features with the attractive price point, the 2016 DTS10 easily sets a new standard as the most innovative applicator within the mid-sized sprayer market today.

Hagie Mfg., located in Clarion, Iowa, optimizes our customers’ growth by providing the most innovative crop protection solutions in the agriculture industry. Since Ray Hagie’s invention of the world’s first self-propelled sprayer in 1947, today Hagie Mfg. continues to build upon a rich heritage as an industry leader in the business of solving problems. Innovative solutions and versatile attachments enhance capability for performing timely and precise full season crop protection, Nitrogen and cover crop seeding applications for optimal soil health and maximum yield productivity.

LifeServe Blood Center is celebrating Halloween by helping drain veins this October.

Every two seconds, someone somewhere needs a blood transfusion. The only way a hospital patient can receive that life-saving blood is if a generous donor rolls up his or her sleeve.

Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics offering seasonal flu shots Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics has seasonal flu shots available and is encouraging all individuals to receive the vaccine. Flu shot are available during normal clinic hours, Monday – Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm and do not require an appointment.

In addition, the Belmond Clinic will hold two special flu shot clinics during the same business hours on October 20th & 23rd. The cost is covered by Medicare, $25.00 if paid at the time of service, or may be billed to your insurance provider.

Flu viruses are always changing.

Each year’s flu vaccine is made to protect against 3 or 4 viruses that are likely to cause disease that year, and are based on research that indicates what will be most common during the upcoming flu season.

Iowa Specialty Hospital offers what is referred to as a “quadrivalent” vaccine. The quadrivalent vaccine protects against influenza A (H1N1) virus, influenza A (H3N2), and two influenza B viruses. This flu vaccine does not contain any live influenza virus. All flu shots take about two weeks for protection to develop after the vaccination.

Every flu season is different, and

influenza infection can affect people differently. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and spread it to others. Every year thousands of people in the United States die from the flu and many more are hospitalized. The typical seasonal flu runs from October through May. The flu is caused by influenza viruses and is spread mainly by coughing, sneezing, and close contact with infected individuals.

Symptoms can last for several days and may include: fever/chills, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue, cough, headache, and runny or stuffy nose.

Anyone can get the flu, but the risk is highest among children, pregnant women, people who are 65 years or older, individuals with compromised immune systems, and people with certain health conditions, such as heart, lung or kidney disease. It is especially important for these individuals to receive the flu vaccination.

While the influenza vaccination cannot prevent all cases of the flu, it is the best defense against the disease. Make sure you receive your flu vaccination this year to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Aglow International of Fort Dodge to meet

“I had my plan, but He had His!” Joel Tenney, young energetic man from Kalona, Iowa, is coming to Fort Dodge on Saturday, October 17, at 10 a.m.

During Joel’s younger years his parents and many others had a plan for Joel’s future. Joel, being raised in a family with 15 siblings, homeschooled, limited luxuries; was able to share, and even agree with the plans that others felt he was predestined for.

But…another plan was in the making, about to unfold!

Does God speak to us today?

As God spoke to Abraham, God is speaking to Joel; as God is speaking to Joel, He desires to speak to you!

Come to the Fort Dodge Public Library, 424 Central Ave., in Ft. Dodge, to get encouraged.

Joining Joel will be Pam and Sarah Evans. They will share their musical talents and how they have a significant role in “HIS” plans.

IRP will be holding try outs

IRP will be holding try outs for their next production at the Rowan Theater on October 12 and 13, from 7-8 p.m. We will be presenting the comedy “In laws, Outlaws and the Christmas Ham” on December 4th, 5th, 6th, 11th, 12th, and 13th. This play set in New York has a large cast of both men and women (15-19) and no parts will be doubled.

The family is gathering to have a Christmas meal and confusion ensues as various people arrive and then through no fault of their own cannot leave. Everything works out well in the end and we are left with Good Feelings. We look forward to having strong participation and if someone feels they are not ready to be a “prime time player,” we also have a place for production “helpers” in bringing our play to life. Hope to see a big enthusiastic group. For more details, please contact luannekrabbe@gmail.com, or Meriel Demuth at harvsmama@ hotmail.com.

IRP is hosting DRAMAPOLOOZA

Marching Eagles

Letter to the Editor:

Marilyn and I, along with a number of Eagle Grove fans, attended Algona Band Days. I believe there were 22 bands from Iowa and Minnesota.

The Marching Eagles did a great job of representing Eagle Grove School and Eagle Grove. Their placing in their division was a strong second, a few points behind Sheldon, Iowa. Sheldon has 85 band members, and Eagle Grove has around 35. Clarion band was third behind Eagle Grove.

The new uniforms arrived Friday late afternoon, not in time for Homecoming night. The new uniforms were used in the Algona Band Days. They have a rich purple look to them. The band members loved their new uniforms and were proud to wear them.

The bands played and marched by the Judging Stand and were judged.

The Marching Eagles did a movement in front of the judges while playing.

This shows confidence in the band to do something besides marching by. One of the judges comments was, “They sound like a big band with only 35 members.” This means each band member has to play with confidence and really lay it out there and still stay in tune. The Drill Team out in front of the band looked great.

In fact, I would put them up against any team in the parade.

Be proud Eagle Grove. You have a great group of kids representing you.

Marilyn and I are very proud of this band.

The band directors, Justin and Luke, are doing a great job.

Marilyn and Mel Sampson Eagle Grove

Why 4-H?

By Kim Demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net

4-H has been encouraging youth development for more than 100 years. Now, with over six million youth and adults working together to promote leadership through handson experience, 4-H continues to empower individuals to reach their full potential.

Both boys and girls are welcome to join in on the fun when they begin fourth grade.

Participation can continue through their senior year.

While the county fair is the highlight of any 4-H member’s year, there is a lot to be learned and discovered along the way.

Several different clubs exist within Wright County. Youth can choose a club based on location, age, or even special interest. Most of these clubs usually meet once a month. After general business is conducted, there often times is a learning or social session.

Participating in 4-H also has it’s other benefits. Depending on age,

Volunteers make it possible

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net 4-H Programs in Wright County are as strong as ever, especially in Eagle Grove where the Wright Warriors have seen growth in their memerbships for the past several years.

With the new year just underway, that number is looking like it could grow again.

The Wright Warriors are under new leadership this year. While former leader, Phyllis Larson, is still helping out in a transition year, Bryan and Allison Whaley have stepped up to take the lead this year.

Both have extensive backgrounds in 4-H (see their article on this page) and they are very excited about what the new 4-H year holds for this group of kids.

There are also volunteer parents who regularly offer assistance in a variety of capacities, from bringing food and drinks, to chairing committees, to working at county events like 4-H Fun Night and the Wright County Fair.

Community volunteers come through as well.

They offer workshops in their field of interest and expertise. Just in the past years, Wright Warriors have had the opportunity to learn about rabbits, make jewelry, try their hand at photography, bake...and that’s just to mention a few. All of this was possible thanks to people who have an interest in helping kids learn.

This is only a handful of the many volunteers who make 4-H so great in Wright County. The Wright Warriors are always looking for new people with new talents to come in and work with the kids. You don’t have to be an expert. You only need to have a hobby, and a desire to share your passion with the youth of Eagle Grove who are eager to try and learn new things. The club is always looking for new ideas to share - maybe you could teach them about gardening, or Martial Arts, robotics, woodworking, or one of a million other topics. If you would be interested, please contact her or any 4-H member. The knowledge you have to offer could open up a world of opportunity for the youth of this community.

Each year, the Wright Warriors decorate a window in honor of National 4-H Week. This year’s club members who decorated the window include, from left: Olivia Andersen, Jacie Crutcher, Jaclynn Demory, and Jensen Cooper. Be sure to stop by the Eagle Grove Eagle window and take a look at the photos from last years’ activities and details about meeting times. Photo by Kim Demory

youth can go to camp, take trips to the Omaha Zoo, travel to Chicago or Washington D.C, and so much more.

There are also local opportunities like 4-H Fun Night where all Wright County 4-Her’s and their families invite the public to come and join them in a night of fun and games.

Prizes are given away, raffles are held, and a reigning 4-H Fun Night king and queen are crowned to serve over festivities at Share the Fun and Fashion Revue at the Wright County Fair in the summer.

If you would like more information about 4-H in Wright County, please contact Jessica Norman, 4-H & youth county coordinator at the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Center, 210 1st St. SW., Clarion, IA 50525 jnorman@iastate.edu p. 515.532.3453 f. 515.532.3415 www.extension.iastate.edu/ wright

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net When the Wright County Fair rolls around, it’s easy to see what the 4-H kids have been up to - sewing, woodworking, baking, planting and growing, drawing...and the list goes on and on. What’s not so easy to see, however, is all the things that go on in 4-H apart from the fair. So, what better time to highlight those things than during National 4-H Week.

While the County Fair and the Iowa State Fair are the highlights of being in 4-H, there are many other benefits youth get when they are involved in 4-H. In addition to gaining knowledge about new topics they may participate in at the fair, they also learn about being a valuable c o m m u n it y member.

4-Hers are encouraged to get involved in a variety of things like visiting with residents at Rotary Senior Living, donating to the HOPES program, which helps individuals and families who are strugeling, (be it by sending a card, donating gently loved items, or purchasing needed supplies), and working at area events like the Lake Cornelia Winterfest.

4-Hers also learn about public speaking. Each member is encouraged, at some point throughout the year, to give a presentation in front of their peers on a topic of their choice. It could be small and simple, to introduce them to public speaking, or it could be a project that they have completed for the upcoming fair and chose to present to get feedback. Either way,

it’s about getting kids comfortable talking in front of other people, be it peers or adults.

Still others have used 4-H to develop their leadership skills.

Members in the past have organized pillowcases for soldiers, raising money for the Leader Dogs for the Blind program, making snack bags for farmers to hand out during harvest season, and so much more.

There is also responsibility to be learned in 4-H. Club members sign up to bring snacks; to give presentations; to help on group projects like window decorating, float building, and workshops, and they are expected to show up and fulfill their duties; and some hold offices where they learn the correct procedures of serving as president, vice president, secretary, reporter, treasurer, and historian. No matter what they choose, it’s a life lesson in doing what you say you will do and having it done on time.

4-Hers also learn problemsolving skills. When completing a project doesn’t go as planned the first time, they must think of a Plan B. If they are a member of a team task, they must learn how to sometimes be the leader, and sometimes be the follower.

If being part of the fair, or learning life-long skills is something you or your child wants to be a part of, the Wright Warriors invite you to join them. They meet the second Sunday of each month, September through June, at 4 p.m. in the Samuel Lutheran Church basement in Eagle Grove.

Meet the Leaders

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Bryan and Allison Whaley are excited to be the new co-leaders of the Wright Warriors 4-H Club.

They bring with them a weath of experience, and are looking

forward to sharing that knowledge with club members.

While in 4-H, Bryan was a State Officer on the 1991 - 1992 State 4-H Council. Allison was a member of the State 4-H Council in 1992 - 1993. Both were involved

in the Natiuonal 4-H Congress and wer involved in a wide variety of project areas as well.

In September, Bryan and Allison were honored to be named 4-H Alumni of the Month by the Iowa 4-H Foundation.

Today, Bryan serves as the Regional Director for ISU Extension and Outreach. Allison continues to volunteer in a variety of ways, and has been a horse judge for other 4-H county fairs.

Between the two of them, their experience is sure to be a great assist to the members of the Wright Warriors 4-H Club.

The couple is looking forward to the new year, and look forward to once again being involved in a local 4-H Club where their two children, Shea and Quinn, are members.

If you have an interest in joining 4-H, Bryan and Allison encourage you to attend a meeting and welcome you with open arms to a fun and exciting opportunity.

Olivia Flumerfelt:It’s been worth the decision to do this First female high school football player in district history By les houser wrightcosports@gmail.com

While most high school girls seem content with either playing volleyball, running cross country or cheerleading for fall activities, that just simply is not good enough for 14-year old Olivia Flumerfelt.

The freshman decided to go out for football this year, and now the 5’ 5” 135-pound Flumerfelt is the very first female in school history to be on the roster. According to Joe Chamberlin, while there have been a few middle school girls that have played she is the first at the high school level.

Flumerfelt admits that she never even played flag football when she was younger. “I haven’t played until this year,” said Flumerfelt. “I didn’t do any fall sports last year due to having eye surgery. Cross country requires running too far, and I wanted to try something new.” She describes herself as free-spirited, outgoing and upbeat. “I like to have fun, and I am,” said the blond-haired freshman daughter of Dan and Candi Flumerfelt and Trudee and Jess Dobbs.

She admits that the hardest part of being out for the sport is keeping up with everyone. “I need to go through conditioning to be able to do the drills, and I’ve been keeping up pretty decent,” said Flumerfelt. “Girls can’t gain as much muscle in a short amount of time, so the weight training is a challenge. I wanted to lift right along with the guys, instead of with volleyball players, because then I’m more a part of the team. Sometimes I get frustrated, but I tell myself I can’t quit and to keep trying. I know it will pay off when I get in the game.”

Flumerfelt’s parents had some mixed feelings about their daughter’s decision. “Mom was iffy at first, because she didn’t want me to get hurt,” said Olivia. “Dad said to go for it, and mom asked if I was sure. Now she’s okay with it, and they’re my best supporters.” And as for the injury part, Flumerfelt admits that the worst she’s had so far is a jammed finger but has witnessed worse. “I saw it when John Mosely (sophomore) broke his arm,” said Flumerfelt. “It was nasty.”

She is also involved with drill team, and admits that it’s hard to go from one to the other. “We have games on Monday night’s, so I miss drill team practice then,” said Flumerfelt. “I come back for their Tuesday practice, so it balances out.

The coaches are good in working it out for me.” On Friday night home games she needs to make time for marching band, which means extra hustling back and forth for both. “I make it all work out somehow,” she said.

Eagles drop Homecoming game to West Fork 21-8 Gonzalez scores lone touchdown By les houser wrightcosports@gmail.com

Olivia Flumerfelt According to her, a few of the guys are still having a little trouble with a girl on the team. “Most of them encourage me, and that makes it fun,” said Flumerfelt. “It makes it worth the decision to do this.” She feels she is being accepted as part of the team.

“When we’re all together we are like a big family,” said Flumerfelt. “We have one goal in that we all want to win. For the Lake Mills game last week, we were pumped up. It was so exciting. The seniors, Weber, Stuhr, Slagle, Hanson and Gonzalez all want to win and like to get everyone pumped. Some of the things they say are so funny.”

Even Olivia’s girlfriends in school seem to be proud of her.

“They’ll say things like ‘Go Olivia’ or ‘That’s my friend down there,’ said Flumerfelt. “They’re nice about it.”

When it comes to one of her earliest experiences with getting hit, she said it was on a kickoff. “I was diving for the ball, and in comes this huge guy,” said Flumerfelt. “I got the wind knocked out of me.

adrenaline is pumping you don’t feel it as much.”

Even though she has a separate locker room, the guys still try to be careful after practice when she’s around. “I have to get invited in first,” said Flumerfelt. “For the pregame, we’re all together and hanging out in the hallway. She feels that she has already acquired good life skills in her freshman year on the squad. “We have to keep our grades up, along with being polite and courteous,” said Flumerfelt. “We represent the school, and have to be role models for the younger kids.” She also would like to stay with football all through high school.

Next time you see the uniform #83 on the field, you’ll know that player is pouring her heart and soul into something she loves to do. Above anything else, she is truly enjoying herself and isn’t that enough reason?

Who knows, someday we might see another girl follow Olivia’s lead and try it too.

Even though the Eagle Grove varsity football team gave it a nice try in front of a large homecoming crowd, it was just not enough in falling to West Fork 21-8 last Friday night. After spotting the Warhawks a three-score lead, the Eagles took over at the West Fork 28 after a fake punt by the visitors lost ten yards.

Jeremy Weber only needed one snap to find Brian Gonzalez for a 28-yard touchdown pass with just eight ticks left in the third quarter.

The purple and gold then had a nice drive in the fourth quarter, going 78 yards in 13 plays all the way into the Warhawks red zone. That started with a 15 yard pass to Brandon Stuhr, followed by a 13 yard strike to Spencer Espejo. Weber then carried 15 yards for a fresh set of downs at the West Fork 46. Another pass to Smith for 19 yards put the ball at the 29, with a toss to Parker Slagle taking it to the 17.

Weber ran the ball all the way to the four-yard stripe, only to have the next two snaps and a penalty push them back to the 11. Weber would then get picked off to end the threat.

“It was a tough way to end such a positive week for our program, school and community,” said head coach Bruce Dahlhauser. “Our guys played with great effort throughout the game, but we just didn’t make enough plays to win it. I felt like our team was ready to play with high energy, then we lost a fumble on our first play from scrimmage and we deflated a little bit. After a rough first quarter, we found ourselves down by two scores but continued to battle and outscored them over the final 36 minutes. We had a few other opportunities to score that would have drastically changed the outcome as well. Right before the half, we had a touchdown called back due to an ill-advised penalty. Then, towards the end of the game, we put together a really nice drive that ended with an interception in the endzone.”

The Eagles compiled 251 net offensive yards and 13 first downs, compared to the Warhawks with 270 yards and 19 first downs. The Eagles had 50 snaps for an average gain of 5.0 yards per play. They were penalized nine times for 66 total yards, compared to West Fork with six flags for 32 yards. The Warhawks led in time of possession 33:31 to 14:29.

The Eagles converted two of 10 thirddowns and three of six fourth-down opportunities.

The 123 net rushing yards were led by Weber with 64 on 11 attempts (5.8 average). Evan Anderson had 54 yards on 13 attempts, Gonzalez four yards and Slagle one yard. Weber was 12 of 20 for 126 yards through the air with one interception. Slagle caught five balls for 42 total yards, Gonzalez two for 30 and a score, Smith two for 22, Stuhr two for 21 and Espejo two for 13.

Anderson kicked off twice for a 38.5-yard average, while Garett Blink punted once for 39 yards. Blink ran back two kicks for 25 total yards, and Slagle one for 18 yards.

Stuhr had five solo tackles and 10 assists. Brayden Lyman had four solo stops and 12 assists, Anderson four solo and three assists and Slagle four solo and two assists. Saxon Lyman had three solo tackles and three assists. Gonzo had two solo stops and four assists. Tanion Pohlman, Weber and Sam Johnson all made one solo tackle, with Tanion in on eight assists, Jeremy seven assists and Sam two assists. Lincoln Miller made seven assists, Dawson Lalor and Jon Mendoza each three assists and Jacob Rosa two assists. Stuhr recovered a fumble.

“Our offense was decently effective, averaging five yards per play, but we hampered our chances for points with costly penalties and mental mistakes,” said Dahlhauser.

“Our defense continued to battle all night, but we just couldn’t get them off the field when we needed to and also didn’t force enough turnovers.

Our biggest positive coming out of this has to be our passing game. We were able to move the chains and pick up yards through the air, which adds a huge dimension to our offense. It was an all-around effort that made that happen. Our line protected well, our receivers ran good routes and caught the ball and our quarterback made the correct reads and good throws.”

This week-Eagles (0-6, 0-3) at Emmetsburg (3-3, 2-1): The E-Hawks are coming off a 34-20 win over Central Springs. “We are facing a team that likes to play physical football,” said Dahlhauser. “We have struggled to match the physicality of our opponents so far this season, so our chances to compete Friday night will depend largely on our ability to match what they bring to the table. Their schemes are very simple, but they are highly effective.

Our preparation this week will be less mental than it has been recently, and much more focused on playing tough and physical football for 48 minutes.”

Eagle volleyball working hard for their next victory Play well in winning a set versus Gaels, Cooper and Hammitt with seven kills each By les houser wrightcosports@gmail.com

Even though the Eagle Grove varsity volleyball team is mired in a losing streak, they continue to work hard daily in practices to find that next win as they move closer to postseason regional play.

Last Tuesday night, they lost in three sets at North Union by scores of 25-15, 25-12 and 25-16. Team serving was at nearly 82 percent, with Maci Pickering going 10 of 10 with an ace.

Hannah Quintus was 9 of 10 with an ace, Allison Purcell 4 of 4 with an ace and Mallory Hammitt 4 of 7.

Esme Figueroa was 3 of 4 and Dani Koester 3 of 5 with an ace. Sarah Wilson and Hallie Jeske both made one good serve in their only attempt, while Jarika Eisentrager made one good serve in two tries.

Figueroa set the ball for eight assists, with Quintus making five and Pickering two. There were 14 total kills, with Hammitt making four of those from her position on the court.

Leslie Cooper and Eisentrager both added three each, with Koester and Purcell each making two successful spikes for points.

The team totaled 47 digs, with Pickering making 17 followed by Koester with nine and Hammitt with six. Figueroa and Brandi Osborn both made five saves of the ball each, with Quintus adding three and

both Cooper and Purcell one apiece.

Both Eisentrager and Koester each contributed a block assist.

“My team finally came back,” said head coach Karla Tweeten. “We competed, we reacted and we were keeping the ball alive. It was good to see. We were in the positive in kills again, and it was nicely spread around. North Union has a handful of tall girls, and they were getting a lot of touches. Our serving was pretty good. We allowed a few North Union runs but not many. I tell the girls that any serve can be a crucial serve. It was nice to see them play well after a long bus ride. The JV match also went to three, which was nice to see for the same reason.”

On Thursday, the purple and gold ladies hosted St. Edmond for the annual Spike Alzheimers Night fundraiser. The visiting Gaels won the match 3-1, with set scores of: L2518, W25-19, L25-21 and L26-24. Set one saw the Gaels up 18-15 before an Eagle kill stopped it. The Gaels made a hit past the end line to cut their lead to 18-17, then couldn’t return the ball to tie the set and force a St. Ed timeout to regroup. A Gael kill made it 19-18, which set them off from there to take the win with six straight points.

The second set saw a Purcell tap over at the net give the home ladies a 16-10 lead. The Gaels called timeout, then came right back to drop a hit

just inside the Eagle end line for 11 points. An Eagle hit that couldn’t be returned gave them a 17-13 advantage, followed by a Gael point on a hit long.

A serve out of bounds made it 18-14 Eagles, followed by a three-point Gael run. Koester then stopped that rally with a kill to make it 19-17, and then with Pickering serving and St. Edmond stuck on 18 the home team took the score to 22-18 before a Gael kill ended it. Purcell then stepped up and delivered a smash from the left for a 23-19 lead, followed a point later

by Koester serving up a winner for a 1-1 match.

The third set score stayed tight, with serves and points going back and forth. As the Eagles became stuck on 18, the Gaels reeled off four straight to go out to a 22-18 advantage. A Gael serve into the net stopped it, followed

by Cooper making a kill from the right side. St. Ed put up two more on the board before a hit dropped into the inside corner of the Gael side for a 21st Eagle point. That’s all they would get as the visitors closed it out from there for a 2-1 match advantage.

The fourth game had the Eagles up 15-13 on a Hammitt smash and Purcell served some winners. The Gaels fired off three straight before the home team could stop it, with an Eisentrager tap over the net a little later making it 19-17 as the Eagles held firm. Koester hit a ball that couldn’t be returned for a 20-18 score as the Eagles were looking to send it to five. Another Purcell dink over the net made it 22-18 before the Gaels reeled off two straight. A serve into the net gave the Eagles a 23-20 advantage, only to have the Gaels find an open spot to place the hit for a 2321 score. St. Ed scored two straight to tie it, and then went ahead 24-23.

Jeske stepped up to deliver a kill to tie it again, but that would be the purple and gold’s last gasp. It was soon match point, and a block back by the Gaels gave them a win.

Team serving was a 89.7 percent, with Pickering going 18 of 20 with three aces. Both Figueroa and Quintus were 15 of 16, while Purcell went 9 of 9 with two aces and Hammitt 9 of 11 with an ace thrown in. Koester went 7 of 9 with two aces and Eisentrager 5 of 6 with an ace.

Figueroa set for 14 assists, with Quintus adding five, Pickering two

and Hammitt one in compliment.

The 59 total digs were led by Pickering with 19 and Osborn with 10. Koester chipped in nine, while Figueroa and Quintus each made seven saves of the ball.

Purcell had two solo blocks and Koester one, with Dani and Allison each adding a block assist to their final stat line.

“We came to play,” said Tweeten.

“We had been in a midseason slump, but even with all the homecoming activities they were ready to go. We were aggressive, and all four sets were competitive. We had longer volley’s and good serving. We were noticing things and then keying on those. We had 33 kills with only 17 errors, and we spread it around again. We will host them in regionals, so it was nice to play them now.”

The team is now 3-20 overall, and plays at Clarion-Goldfield-Dows next Monday in the annual Dig for a Cure fundraiser.

Eagle Grove Eagle

New uniforms arrive in time for Algona Band Days You may recall that the Eagle Grove High School Music Boosters were fundraising last year for new marching band uniforms. Well, they finally arrived, not quite in time for their Homecoming performance last Friday evening, but the kids did get to wear their new uniforms when they competed in the Algona Band Days on Saturday, Oct. 3. The uniforms added a boost of confidence and they and the color guard brought home a second place trophy. Photo courtesy of Ann Sampson
