Will you “Share Christmas” with families in need this holiday season?

By Kim Demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net

The next time you make a stop at the grocery store, throw a few extra things into your cart. Do the same thing the next time, and a few more times. Then, drop them off at the Eagle Grove Food Pantry and tell them it’s for the Share Christmas Program.

The number of struggling families in the area is on the rise again this year. For many, Christmas dinner, or Christmas in general, just might not happen without your help. That’s where you, and the volunteers of Share Christmas, can make a difference, by donating either food, money, or other every day necessities.

The Share Christmas program, coordinated by volunteers of the local Food Pantry, have been helping qualifying families at Christmas time for more than 50 years. Their mission, however, can not be successful without your help.

There are many ways you and your family can get involved in the Share Christmas program.

Monetary donations of all kinds and sizes are always needed. It is estimated that $10,000 is needed to help purchase meat certificates and any other needed supplies to fill the

boxes for families in need.

If you would rather drop off items, non-perishable foods and hygiene products are always on the list. Some of these include, but are not limited to: facial tissue, toilet paper, shampoo, hand soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, dish soap, etc.

Food products that have a long shelf-life may include: Macaroni and cheese, popcorn, Jell-O, oatmeal, canned vegetables, cake mixes, granola bars, canned tuna/ chicken, coffee, and peanut butter.

Gifts for children are also needed. If you are interested in making a child’s Christmas wish come true, please watch for the Share Christmas tree which will be located at the Eagle Grove Memorial Library soon. Tags on the tree will give instructions of ages and needs.

Gift certificates are also welcomed.

All donations of food or money should be dropped off at the Service Center located at 510 S. Jackson in Eagle Grove by Friday, Dec. 11. You may also drop off the gifts purchased from the Giving Tree. The Service Center is open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 1 and 3 p.m.

Volunteers are also needed to give of their time to help prepare

this week’s Eagle

and distribute the boxes. Packing will take place on Tuesday morning, Dec. 15 at 9 a.m. All help is welcomed. Never done it before?

Don’t worry, it’s easy and there will be people on hand to get you up to speed and helping in no time.

Distribution of the Share Christmas boxes will be from 8:30 - 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 19 at the Service Center. If you or your family would like to volunteer to help, please contact any of the following organizers: Marcella Johnson ~ 448 - 3743 Barb Johnston ~ 448-3291 Lois Barnes ~ 448 - 4667 Marilyn Kroll ~ 448 - 4025 Last year, Share Christmas helped more than 150 local families.

Are you in need of assistance?

If you or someone you know could use a little extra help this holiday season, whether it be food, toys, or both, please fill out the form found on Page 3. You may also pick up an application at any of the following Eagle Grove locations: Upper Des Moines Opportunity, the laundromat, Eagle Grove Memorial Library, or at the Service Center.

Forms are due no later than Friday, Dec. 11, 2015.

You’ll find More than 110 Faces inside this week’s Eagle

The prints are “The Turntable,” “Slater Crossing,” “Engine 1385,” and “Passenger Train.” Photo by Kim Demory

— The “weight is over” — A follow-up with Jeff and Lindsay Kerch eight months after their gastric sleeve weight loss surgery

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net The last time we touched base with Jeff and Lindsay Kerch of Goldfield, they had lost a combined weight of 100 pounds. In addition, Jeff had lost 35 percent of his excess body fat, and Lindsay 40 percent.

That was in May, only two months after both having gastric sleeve weight loss surgery on the same day.

At that point, things were going well for both of them. The weight was falling off. Their clothes were getting too big. They felt better than ever before, and there were no regrets. But what about now? Eight months later, are they still happy with the choice they made? Are they still losing weight?

The answer is a definite “yes.”

“We’re at the point now where life is back to normal,” Lindsay said.

The newness has worn off and they’re back to juggling work, practices, and kids. That means learning to adapt to the situations around them, things the average person might not think about, like snacks at the swimming pool or popcorn at the movies. It’s a conscious choice for them, while many others just get the snacks because, well, that’s what you do when you’re at the pool or the movies. But not for Jeff and Lindsay. While they might

think they “want” it, there’s not that nagging desire to have it.

“It’s been interesting because we don’t really have cravings (since the surgery), so now we have to figure out what we want and if we are really hungry,” Lindsay said. “We’re also more aware of eating out of habit or boredom.”

They admit, though, that they are still learning to make changes.

For instance, Jeff is on the road a lot with his job, which means before the surgery, he would just grab lunch or a snack at the gas station or make a quick swing through a fast food restaurant. Now, he tries to pack a healthier snack, but that doesn’t always mean it’s easy to just drive by the other options.

“Post-surgery felt like (we were living) someone else’s life...but now that the dust has settled and we’re back into a regular life, it’s just a matter of figuring things out,” Lindsay said.

They don’t go out for lunch much anymore, because most of the time they are served way too much food. For Lindsay, the perfect size meal, since the surgery, is a chicken breast and a 1/2 cup cottage cheese, or one taco in a shell. It doesn’t take much at all to fill her up, and she feels completely satisfied. In reality, they can eat any food they want, it’s

just that they don’t crave anything anymore, let along the junk and sugar. In fact, Lindsay barely eats any sugar at all anymore.

“Had this been just another diet, I know I would have totally fallen off the wagon by now, “Lindsay admitted, especially since she admitted the weight loss has started to slow.

Despite that, Lindsay, nor Jeff, have been discouraged, because the weight is still coming off. Lindsay has gone from wearing a size 18 pant to a size 10, and she’s excited to say that she’s almost ready for a size 8.

In addition, she has lost 75 percent of her “excess weight.” According to her doctor, 60 percent is considered a success. When Lindsay started this journey, she weighed 266 pounds. At the time of press, she was only 180.

She said her “Ah-huh” moment came when her seven-year-old daughter, Karly, asked her for a piggy-back ride down the stairs.

“I couldn’t hold her, and that’s when I realized I had lost as much weight as Karly weighed. No wonder I feel so much better,” Lindsay laughed. “I lost a seven-year-old person.”

Lindsay’s goal is to lose another 30 pounds.

The weight is over Jeff has had great success as well. He has gone from wearing a size 44 jeans to a 34.

With all the conscious effort on the part of Lindsay and Jeff about their weight, they are equally as tuned into how their kids are reacting to all of it. Lindsay said they are careful to set a good example for them about making good food choices, but at the same time, not make them obsessed about their own weight.

“We don’t want them to get a complex,” Lindsay said.

So, would Lindsay and Jeff still recommend gastric sleeve surgery to others? Again, the answer is a “yes.” In fact, they’ve had several people ask them about the experience who are now considering the procedure.

If you’re one of the people out there giving some thought to the weight loss surgery, Lindsay and Jeff would be happy to help in any way they can. They welcome questions.

“It’s fun to have people ask about it, and hopefully we can

inspire them. It’s easy...there are hard parts, but the weight is going to come off,” Lindsay tells those thinking about it.

She added, hearing the word “forever” kind of makes you nervous when they tell you the surgery is a change forever, but it’s not as overwhelming as you think.

“We’ve gone nowhere but up (since having the surgery), Lindsay said. “We’ve had nothing but support from our friends and family...I’ve been ready for somebody to say something derogatory (about the choice we made to have the surgery), but nobody has. They’ve been nothing but nice.”

Lindsay added, “Three years ago I never would of imagined this would be the path that I would take, and the thought that Jeff Kerch would do it with me would of been even crazier....the Lindsay from a year ago isn’t the same one that is here today...this one is stronger, braver, and I hope overall better.”

Nobody brings you hometown coverage like the Eagle Grove Eagle!

When the Eagle Grove City Council is seated next January to start another year, there will be two new faces in city government taking the oath of office. However, the opening gavel will still be in the hands of incumbent mayor Sandra McGrath.

McGrath will begin her second term then after defeating the challenge of former mayor, and her predecessor, Darrell Determann by a margin of 313 to 194. McGrath won all four wards, with those totals looking like this: Ward 1 – McGrath 58, Determann 30; Ward 2 – McGrath 84, Determann 51; Ward 3 – McGrath 95, Determann 72; Ward 4 – McGrath 76, Determann 41. There were no write-in votes cast in any of the wards.

Incumbent Tony Axtell was defeated by Michael Weland for the Council’s at-large position. Weland tallied 312 total votes to Axtell’s 196. Weland also carried all four wards as follows: Ward 1 – Weland 65, Axtell 24; Ward 2 – Weland 83, Axtell 52; Ward 3 – Weland 90, Axtell 77; Ward 4 – Weland 74, Axtell 43. There were also no writein votes cast in any ward.

There was also one unopposed candidate for the Ward 1 seat, and an unopposed incumbent for the Ward 3 seat, that will take their positions at the start of the year. Alvin Pamperin was on the ballot in Ward 1 to take Teri Jo Pohlman’s seat, as she decided not to seek another term. He received 78 votes, with three write-in votes also cast. Dennis Vandewater won another term with 136 votes, and there were 11 write-in votes in Ward 3. Out of 2,046 registered voters, 511 ballots were cast which represents nearly 25 percent of eligible voters that went to the polls.

Public Measure ‘A’, on putting drainage utilities under the control of the Utilities Board, was approved by 323 total votes to 157. It was also given the nod in all four wards, with Ward 3 the largest margin at 70 votes. Public Measure ‘B’ did not pass, which would have expanded the Utilities Board from five members to seven. That was defeated by voters 261 to 223, with just a 13-vote margin against being the largest difference across the city.

In the neighboring communities, Tom Stevenson was unopposed in winning another term as mayor in Goldfield with 75 votes. Three Councilpersons were on the ballot for two seats, with Gabe Fiscus (71 votes) and Chris Petersen ( 64 votes) taking those. Incumbent Greg Soenen (23 votes) was defeated in his reelection bid. Of 586 registered to vote in Goldfield, 86 of them cast ballots for 14.7 percent. Nelson Eddy Mathiesen is the new mayor in Woolstock, taking the place of Conrad Grunwald Sr. who chose not to seek another term. He received 42 votes. Council seats went to Robert E. Hisler (38 votes) and Candi Jones (25 votes), with 21 write-in votes cast and Lucinda J. Stone getting 17 votes as the only other name on the ballot. Out of 159 registered voters, 52 ballots were cast for 32.7 percent.

Members of Iowa Laureate Eta met Monday, Nov. 2, at Betty Wilde’s home. For community welfare, suggestions were provided to volunteer as individuals, one of which was for Bert Aukland’s Thanksgiving dinner.

The group’s treasury made a monetary donation to the Eagle Grove Food Pantry and to the elementary milk ticket program within the Eagle Grove school system. Several ideas are being compiled for the Beta Sigma Phi 2016 community project that will be chosen instead of preparing the salad luncheon. This is currently a one year trial.

The Eagle Grove Museum will be the destination for this year’s Festival of Trees. The official date is Saturday, December 12, in conjunction with other Eagle Grove festivities. Different groups and organizations in town are being invited to decorate a Christmas tree to display in the museum; small trees would work best with certain themes that could be placed next to an area of interest in the museum such as school, railroad, veterans, early history, etc.

This group plans to provide at least one, if not more, to add to the decorations and interest within the library. After all this work is done, we would like to see the Festival of Trees/Museum be open for other times of viewing so more people would get the opportunity to see the displays.

LuAnn Mersch provided information about auctions for the program.

Originally, auctions were used to buy wives. They were used to bargain when an argument occurred. In the 17th century, an auction was held for the deceased to pay the bills. Our country’s early Pilgrims would auction crops to barter for various food items/animals/services. In the early 1900s, big businesses became involved more for the monetary value that could be gained. In 1995, E-Bay officially started online. In today’s society, charity auctions, as well as machinery/land/leaving the farm auctions, seem to be the more publicized ones.

Mersch had asked each of us to bring donated items that were placed on Wilde’s dining room table. Then Mersch placed a small sack beside each item and sold tickets to members so we could write our names on the tickets and then drop them into the sacks of items we would like to take home.

When several tickets were found in a bag, a drawing was held to determine the new owner. This “not-so-silent” auction was our Ways & Means project for the month. The hostess served a pumpkin dessert.

Wrap up a subscription to the Eagle Grove Eagle for the perfect holiday gift.

One size fits all.

Wartburg’s Jack Rae Smith Memorial Scholarship to be awarded to student veterans

515-825-3770

405118 Brassfield Hwy 3 Dr. W

Paul D. Tokheim, CLU, LUTCF paul@tokheimfinancial.com

PO Box 28 Goldfield, IA 50542

Life - Health - Long-term Care - Disability Annuity - Investments Securities offered through First Heartland Capital, Inc. Member FINRA & SIPC (Tokheim Fnancial Services Inc. is not affiliated with First Heartland Captial, Inc.)

Our nation will observe Veteran’s day on November 11, a day when America pays tribute to those men and women who have served our country in the military.

Alums at Wartburg College have done their part to honor veterans by establishing the Paul Streipe veteran’s scholarship, made in memory of one of two Wartburg students who died in service in Vietnam. Now, fundraising efforts have begun for a scholarship honoring that other student, Jack Smith.

Jack Smith, a Clarion native and a 1967 graduate from Clarion High School (long before the name changed to Clarion-Goldfield-Dows) is a hero who died in 1970 while serving in the US Army in Vietnam.

Sgt. Smith enrolled at Wartburg in the fall of 1967 before enlisting.

The scholarship will memorialize Sgt. Smith and others who attended Wartburg College prior to their deaths in military service.

The memorial effort consists of raising $16,000 that, together with $34,000 that has already been contributed, will fund a $50,000 endowed scholarship, the earnings from which will be awarded to veterans enrolling at Wartburg as either first-time students or for those intent on resuming their college education. When the full amount is raised, a $2,500 scholarship will be available each year to veterans currently serving or those given honorable discharges.

Individuals interested in helping to raise the remaining $16,000 toward scholarships for studentveterans at Wartburg are invited to make tax-deductible donations

to Wartburg College. Donations remitted by check are encouraged, with the phrase “Jack Rae Smith Veterans Peace Scholarship” noted on the memo line. Donations can be mailed to this address: Wartburg College Attention: Development Office P.O. Box 1003 Waverly, IA 50677 In addition to the scholarships, plaques will be installed at Wartburg College and at Clarion-GoldfieldDows High School. They will feature Sgt. Smith’s picture, his military unit and rank, a list of military awards including the Distinguished Service Cross, and note Clarion as his home town.

Members of the scholarship committee, all Clarion natives and members of the Class of 1967, include Nancy Duitscher, Larry

Jack rae smith and Raynee DeLano, Scott Case; Jerry Boyington, and Terry McCool.

For additional information, please contact Nancy Duitscher.

Purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to provide for the division of taxes levied on certain taxable property in the Eagle Grove Downtown Urban Renewal Area, each year by and for the benefit of the state, city, county, school districts or other taxing districts after the effective date of this ordinance in order to create a special fund to pay the principal of and interest on loans, moneys advanced to or indebtedness, including bonds proposed to be issued by the City of Eagle Grove to finance projects in such area.

When such loans, advances, indebtedness, and bonds, if any, and interest thereon, have been paid, all money thereafter received from taxes upon the taxable property in the 2015 Urban Renewal Area Addition shall be paid into the funds for the respective taxing districts in the same manner as taxes on all other property.

Horticulture Hints: Bur oak blight

By Yvonne McCormick, ISU Extension Horticulturist

With deciduous trees now shedding their leaves, one might wonder why the topic of bur oak blight would be a timely subject. But now is a good time of year to examine your bur oak trees for symptoms of this disease.

First of all, what exactly is bur oak blight? This disease, commonly called BOB for short, occurs only on bur oak trees and is caused by a fungus called Tubakia. Leaves with BOB infection first have purplebrown lesions develop along veins on the underside of leaves. Later, the vein turns dark, and large wedgeshaped areas of the leaf will turn brown and die. This wilting and browned scorched appearance of leaves is very similar to that of oak wilt, another fungal disease, which can affect all types of oak trees.

Another symptom of BOB are the black spore pustules that develop on leaf petioles, a horticultural term for the leaf stalk which joins the leaf to the branch. These fungal spores spread and enter other leaf veins and cause the interveinal browning.

Infected bur oak trees have many leaves and petioles that remain on the tree all winter. The black spores on these retained petioles and underside of leaves also remain. Then, when

new leaf growth occurs in the spring, it must force off old spore infected petioles and thus the new growth reinfects itself.

Alamo injections can be used to treat BOB, but at a high cost, and this must only be done by a certified applier. Expect the leaves to fall off the tree after treatment in about 12 days, but the tree will re-flush.

Remember to use a latex based interior paint to treat oak tree wounds as protection against any pest or disease entering the wound.

According to ISU’s Dr. Jesse Randall, do this immediately after making a cut, as disease can enter an open wound within 15 minutes during the active growing season. This is why it is recommended to prune any type oak tree only during the late winter dormant period.

Did you know? There is a type of bur oak grown in southern Iowa that is resistant to bur oak blight. These trees have acorns the size of golf balls. Bur oaks grown in our area that are susceptible to BOB have acorns the size of olives.

New guide provides updated weed identification and herbicide resistance information

By Kristine Schaefer and Daren Mueller

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach has released a new version of the Weed Identification Field Guide, first published in 2010, to assist producers and agronomists with accurately identifying weeds in Iowa corn and soybean fields. The Weed Identification Field Guide, 2nd Edition, includes additional weed species and updated information on herbicide resistance management.

The guide is now available for purchase online from the Extension Store at https://store.extension. iastate.edu/.

Kristine Schaefer, contributing author of the publication and pesticide safety education program manager at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, said it was important to amend information about herbicide resistance and management from the first edition, as issues continue to develop.

“One weed added was Palmer amaranth, a new weed to Iowa and one that has shown resistance to glyphosate and other herbicides,” said Schaefer.

The 108-page booklet is organized into five sections: weed management, grass weeds, broadleaf weeds, other weeds, and glossary and index.

Each section includes supplemental identification descriptions, enhanced photos and tools for correctly distinguishing weeds that have similar characteristics.

“The guide is intended to help producers and agronomists identify weeds in the field without having to go back to the office or check online to confirm identification,” said Schaefer.

The pocket-sized guide contains 35 illustrations and more than 250 high-quality photographs of weeds found in Iowa. Funding for the development of the guide was provided by the United Soybean Board Take Action program and the Iowa Soybean Association.

Southfield to show “Quiet Man” in memory of Maureen O’Hara In memory of Maureen O’Hara, the Academy Award winning movie “The Quiet Man” will be shown at the newly renovated Webster Theater in Webster City compliments of Southfield Wellness Community, owned and operated by ABCM Corporation. The free movie will be shown Wednesday, November 18, 2 p.m., and will last two hours and 10 minutes. The theater is handicapped accessible and there is a special area designed for wheel chair comfort.

Snacks will be sold at the concession stand.

The Quiet Man is a 1952 Technicolor American romantic comedy-drama starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara. The movie is filmed in the lush countryside of Ireland. The movie won the Academy Award for Best Director and Best Cinematography. In 2013,

the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” When Maureen O’Hara passed away in October, her family stated she listened to music from “The Quiet Man” during her final hours.

“Invite friends and family to see a true American classic movie on the big screen for no charge,” encourages Marilyn Middleton, Southfield marketing coordinator. The theater will open at 1 p.m., to allow for a leisurely arrival time. Middleton said “The Quiet Man” movie is the next classic movie to be showing since last month when “To Kill a Mockingbird” attracted over 100 people.” Anyone with suggestions for a third movie choice is invited to call Middleton at 832-3881.

Yard and Garden: Staying clear of tree and shrub damage in winter

By Richard Jauron and Kendall Evans

Trees and shrubs should not be ignored during the cold season.

Winter brings food scarcity, which makes the home landscape a target for rabbits.

Rabbits can severely damage trees and shrubs unless homeowners are protective and take the right steps before winter even arrives. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists offer tips on how to protect trees and shrubs from rabbits this winter. To have additional questions answered, contact ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108, or hortline@iastate.edu.

How do I prevent rabbits from damaging trees and shrubs in the yard over winter?

The most effective way to prevent rabbit damage to trees and shrubs in the home landscape is to place chicken wire fencing or hardware cloth around vulnerable plants. To adequately protect plants, the fencing material needs to be high enough that rabbits won’t be able to climb or reach over the fence after a heavy snow. In most cases, a fence that stands 24 to 36 inches tall should be sufficient.

Small deciduous trees can also be protected by placing white plastic tree guards around their trunks.

Since Iowa’s fall weather is unpredictable, it’s best to have the protective materials in place by early to mid-November. After a heavy snow, check protected plants to make sure rabbits aren’t able to reach or

climb over the fencing. If necessary, remove some of the snow to keep rabbits from reaching the trees or shrubs.

Damage may also be reduced by removing brush, junk piles and other places where rabbits live and hide. Repellents are another option.

Repellents discourage rabbit browsing because of their unpleasant taste or smell. Unfortunately, repellents aren’t always effective and may need to be reapplied after a heavy rain or snow.

Which trees and shrubs are most vulnerable to rabbit browsing in winter?

Small trees with smooth, thin bark are most vulnerable to rabbit damage.

Apple, pear, cherry, plum, crabapple, honey locust, and serviceberry are frequent targets of rabbits. Other frequently damaged plants include the winged euonymus or burning bush, flowering quince, dogwoods, viburnums, cotoneasters, roses, and raspberries. Small evergreens, especially pines, are also vulnerable.

However, nearly all small trees and shrubs are susceptible to damage when food sources are scarce and rabbit populations are high.

When are trees and shrubs most vulnerable to rabbit browsing?

In the home landscape, rabbits feed on herbaceous plants: annuals, perennials, vegetables, and grasses during the growing season. Trees and shrubs become food sources in late fall and winter, December through March. Damage to trees and shrubs is most severe in winters with extended periods of snow cover.

The abilities of people with disabilities

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net We’ve all heard the Golden Rule, “Treat others how you want to be treated,” but the fact is, people with disabilities aren’t always extended that courtesy. They may be teased because they are different, yelled at because it takes them a little longer, or ignored because they don’t fit into the “norm.”

But, the teachers at Eagle Grove Elementary are making sure our students are kids of good character, respectful to everyone regardless of any disabilities they might have.

As part of an inclusion effort, the third grade teachers did a unit on disabilities in social studies.

The second graders also talked a bit about people with differences.

“Our focus has been on treating everyone equally,” said teacher Jennifer Lenane.

On Oct. 29, guest speaker Margie Knoll spoke with the second and third grade students about growing up with deaf parents. From the beginning, she learned how to speak to her parents using sign language by watching her five older siblings. To Margie, her parents were no different than her friends’ parents. They could still talk on the

phone (with the help of a flashing light to let them know it was ringing and a keypad to type back their answers), answer the door (again with a light signal), and everything else. The only difference was, they talked with their hands.

Margie went on to be a sign language interpreter, and she shared some of those skills with the Eagle Grove students. They learned how to sign the color blue, as well as “mother” and “father”, say that there was applause, and even learned the letters of the alphabet.

Jen Conaway and her sister, Sara Krahling, also talked to the class about down syndrome, a disability that Sara has. Many of the kids know Sara personally as she can often be found in school volunteering her time helping in a variety of ways. She also enjoys helping out at Bible Study, the library, at church, and many other places. Sara is a go-getter who loves to be involved, gives big hugs, and always has a smile to share.

“Sara was born with an extra chromosome, which we say made her extra special,” said Jen. To help Sara communicate as a child, she herself used sign language. In turn, Jen and the rest

of her family learned it with her.

“It worked so well with my sister, that I taught it to my own kids before they could even talk,” said Jen, commenting how much easier it made it to understand them and helped limit their frustration.

To demonstrate to the kids that people with disabilities are not so different from themselves, Jen asked the kids to tell her things they liked.

Some answers included: cookies, ice skating, sports, and even math.

Sara enjoys all of those things, too.

In fact, there wasn’t one thing the kids named that they liked to do, places they enjoyed going, or things they liked to eat that Sara didn’t also enjoy. Sara was also proud to tell the kids that she has a gold medal in ice skating.

“We are more alike than different...don’t discriminate just because we might be a little different,” said Jen. When Jen was younger, someone asked her once ‘If you could change your sister (Sara), would you?’

“Absolutely not,” Jen responded.

“I’ve learned so much from Sara, she’s such a caring person. Just because you’re different doesn’t mean you aren’t amazing.”

Jen Conaway (left) and her sister, Sara Krahling (center) talked with the second and third graders about Down Syndrome, which Sara has.

Margie Knoll (right) was also there to talk about people who are deaf and used sign language while Jen and Sara spoke.

Coach Tweeten releases volleyball team final stats Pickering tops West Division in digs

Asche runs at all-star meet

Carter Asche received the honor to run in the Iowa Association of Track/Cross Country Coaches all-star meet last Saturday. He qualified by running a 17:30 or better at a meet in his senior year, and that time came at the Dick Bell Invite on his home course where he turned in a 16:59. He was a member of the West squad, and ran the two-loop course at the Des Moines Area Community College campus in 17:45. “This was a nice way for him to end his senior season,” said coach Ben Demuth.

We are making initial plans for our upcoming 2015-16 Winter Sports Preview tab, which will be inserted in both the Eagle and Monitor on Thursday, December 10th. As usual, it will contain preview stories on all the teams with team photos, rosters and schedules. Cheerleading squads for both schools will also be included. Coaches, please be aware that we will need information on your respective teams as early as possible after practice commences.

I will be contacting you with more details on that.

As always, the planning for the winter season means that the fall season is or soon will be completed.

The boys cross country team again carried the school colors back to state for the 28th time, finishing fifth which equals their most recent finish at that same spot in 2006. It was also the program’s 14th finish of at least fifth or higher as a team, which includes state titles in both 1984 and 1987 and runner-up finishes in both 1985 and 1994. Well-done guys in keeping the tradition going strong, and we just know you’ll be back for more in 2016!

The Lady Eagles had some difficulty in placing high in their meets, but did see a nice finish in taking fifth in their class at the home Dick Bell Invite. With Jana Willard back for her senior year, along with some promising sophomores and a good group of middle school kids moving up, they should be more competitive. The varsity volleyball team did not see much for success in the win column, but if you

measure it by both individual and team statistical improvement and competitive play then the program did make some huge strides.

Some good seniors will need to be replaced, but the talent is there for a few more wins next fall.

The seniors on the Eagle football team, along with everyone else, will be able to savor the sweet taste of victory again for a few months to come after taking their season finale at Manly. They needed that so badly, and were inching closer to it with each game. Now, the task at hand for next year’s seniors is to take what they learned from that and push themselves to the next level. It won’t be given to them, for it will take continued hard work and the mental attitude that they can compete. They know they’re capable of doing it now, and that’s a nice beginning.

So, for all the winter coaches and athletes I simply say let’s keep the momentum going through this next sports season. A gym can feel like a nice, warm and comfy place on a cold winter night, and when the team is both competitive and victorious it can make it seem even cozier. Good Luck Eagles!

Eagle Grove Eagle

Ali Cram is new cosmetologist at Rejuvenate Salon

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Ali Cram first moved to Eagle Grove in 2013 when her husband, Steven Cram joined the Eagle Grove Police Department. With five years experience in cosmetology, she had hoped to work with Janet Fuller, owner of Rejuvenate Salon.

Unfortunately, there was already a full staff, so Cram accepted a job at Master Cuts in Fort Dodge.

Times change, and her husband found himself in a new position, working as an officer for Wright County. Ali, too, has now found herself with a new opportunity exactly where she had hoped to be in the first place, at Rejuvenate Salon in Eagle Grove.

A position opened up, so Fuller called her in for an interview. The two of them immediately clicked, and Cram was hired. Her first day was on Monday, Nov. 2.

While Cram has five years experience, she has grown up in the cosmetology world all her life. It runs in the family you could say. Her grandmother and grandfather did hair together, and they even taught at La James in Mason City, which is where Cram earned her own degree.

“I used to get all the free hair cuts, now, my grandma comes to me.

It’s payback I guess,” Cram joked.

Now that she is settled in, Cram is accepting new clients, serving women, men, and children, whether you need a haircut, color, perm, wax,

Ali Cram looks forward to working with the people of the Eagle Grove area in her new position with Rejuvenate Salon.

Cram is available Monday through Fridays from 11 a.m. - 7 p.m., or by appointment on Saturday.

“I’m excited to see some new faces,” said Cram.

She invites you to stop in an introduce yourself and enjoy Rejuvenate Salon’s Open House on Friday, Dec. 4, from 5 - 7 p.m.

Be sure to look for their ad in this week’s “Eagle” for full details.

Cram is originally from Mason City.
