In this week’s Eagle

...to the “Clothe the naked” mission

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Pope Francis has designated Nov. 8, 2015 thru Nov. 20, 2016 as the “Year of Mercy.” To coincide with this, Archbishop Jackels of the Dubuque Diocese (which includes Wright County) sent out a message encouraging parishes to do service projects throughout the year. The Holy Family Cluster of Wright County - including Sacred Heart Church in Eagle Grove, St. John’s Catholic Church in Clarion, and St. Francis Xavier in Belmond have accepted the challenge and made it their mission to help. Thus far they have done: 1. “Drink for the Thirty,” collecting and providing baby formula in January.

2. “Visit the Imprisoned” in February where they visited the home bound, collected money for the prison to buy subscriptions to the “Word Among Us” magazine.

3. “Feed the Hungry” in April by serving free pizza to all of the Religious Education kids on a Wednesday night before class and also encouraged parishioners to give food to the Food Pantry.

4. Their mission in July will be to “Clothe the Naked.” What’s different about this Corporal Work of Mercy is this time they are asking for the entire community’s help.

They are planning a Clothing Drive to collect new and gently used apparel to be sold during a garage sale on Friday, July 15 from 2 - 8 p.m., and Saturday, July 16 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at St. John’s in Clarion.

“The garage sale is open to all people who are in need of clothes,” said Nancy Strub, one of the organizers from Eagle Grove.

Nothing will cost over 50¢.

“This is a non-profit event... we’re just trying to get clothing to the people who need it,” added Strub.

This is the perfect time to go through your closets and drawers and get rid of all the gently loved clothes and shoes you no longer wear.

Maybe your children have outgrown some of their items? While it can sometimes be hard for a mom to part with her little girls dress she looked so cute in, just think how happy it will make another girl in our area

You’ll find More than 160 Faces inside this week’s Eagle

Do you believe in magic?

Magician Rick Eugene dazzled more than 100 kids, plus their parents and babysitters, with his magic at the Eagle Grove Memorial Library on Thursday, June 16. Of course, lots of kids got to be part of the show, but so did some of th parents, like Rachel Chamberlin who performed as “Verna Vission” from Las Vegas. She learned quickly as she was able to tell what card Cael Schafer had pulled from the deck. Look inside for more photos from the show. Photo by Kim Demory

— SUMMERFEST — who might not otherwise be able to afford such a pretty dress.

Clothes and shoes (no household goods of any kind) can be dropped off at your local parishes from noon to 4 p.m. July 2 through July 11. All sizes, all seasons, and all styles of apparel will gladly be accepted and appreciated.

“This will really help the local people (in need),” said Father Jerry Blake, Priest of the Holy Family Cluster.

Everyone is invited to shop the garage sale, regardless of income, hoping that will encourage those who really need the clothes to come without feeling singled out.

Other upcoming events to go along with the remaining Corporal Works include: - Shelter the Homeless - in August they are planning a trip to

the Beacon of Hope men’s shelter in Fort Dodge where they will serve a hot meal and deliver personal items they will collect.

- Visit the Sick - In October, they are encouraging community members to take the Eucharistic Ministry to the home bound. The Mother Teresa group in Clarion will visit the home bound.

- Bury the Dead - In November, they are working to finalize specific plans but are thinking they might offer assistance of cleaning up the cemeteries or inviting a funeral director to talk about end-of-life preparations.

If you have questions about the garage sale coming up, please contact Nancy Strub at 851-8113. If you have questions about the Year of Mercy, please contact the church office at 532-3586.

Bug off...

ICCC brings the “Zoo Bug Olympics” to Career Academy for kids to enjoy

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Hissing cockroaches, Herculese beetles, tarantulas, meal worms, millipedes, and scorpions invaded the Career Academy in Eagle Grove on Monday, June 13. It wasn’t a pest problem, though. It was part of educating youth about insects and arthropods.

The Iowa Central Career Academy in Eagle Grove hosted the Iowa State University’s Zoo Bug Olympics. School-aged kids were invited to come to the free event, and in addition to learning some interesting facts about insects and anthropoids (invertebrate with segments or jointed legs - like a millipede), they also got to race orange-headed cockroaches and see how much weight a hissing cockroach could pull. It was all fun and games to the kids, but little did they know they were honing in on their math skills as well. They figured out

how much a human could pull if they could pull the same weight per pound that a hissing cockroach can pull. Shockingly, the kids learned that if an adult human could pull as much as a cockroach pulls per body weight, a human could pull up to 2,000 pounds. Who knew cockroaches were so strong? Kids who attended the Bug Olympics in Eagle Grove now know.

Cockroaches are also an important part of nature, playing an important role in soil quality. They are decomposers, which means they eat dead things - plants, animals, etc., and deposit back into the soil, making it rich and healthy.

If you’ve ever gotten up-close and personal, like these kids did, you might have noticed it looks like their eyes are on the top of their heads.

Well, they’re not. That’s a safety mechanism for them - just like a skunk can spray a bad scent. While the spots look like eyes, they are

actually a decoy to their predators.

Their entire body, head, eyes, and all, are covered by their amazingly hard shells to protect them. They also learned that contrary to popular belief, cockroaches are not dirty and Weekly Weather Report do not spread disease. In fact, their shell is covered with an antibacterial Weekly Rainfall from oil, which actually makes them very Rainfall 4-1-16 clean.

1.29” 10.7” Other bugs the kids got the Growing Degree Days opportunity to learn about and see 4/11 - Current 2015 Average up close (and most even touched) 1123 1001 1141 included different species of praying mantises, beetles, walking sticks, Weekly Update: meal worms, millipedes (they can As we move from post have hundreds of legs), scorpions spraying corn to soybeans, (small claws and a long tail means agitation and a proper mixing it is dangerous and deadly...because order are very important. Tank not all are deadly), and even antagonism is very common tarantulas (they were even allowed with the chemistries we use to to touch one of them on the back spray beans. Just remember while an instructor held it).

Eagle Grove City Council hears update on Memorial Hall project By les houser wrightcosports@gmail.com

Don Deuel presented an update on the Memorial Hall renovation project at this past Monday’s meeting of the Eagle Grove City Council.

Now that the City has recommitted funds to the project, the list of items that will be included was presented at the meeting. Those include the kitchen (only for serving), halfbath off the kitchen, furnace room, back entrance, hallway, front room, coat room, bathrooms and the front entry hall along with some exterior improvements. The plans for an ADA compliant bathroom, and possible handicapped entrance ramp, have been put on hold for the time being.

Schlofeldt Engineering will now be contacted to adjust the bid documents and seek bids on the project.

Dessa Comstock and Rick McPherson appeared before the Council regarding an incident involving Rick’s dog and a dog owned

by Mike Throntveit. A police report, filed by responding officer Garrett Quintus, included a statement from Throntveit that when he was walking his dog home and got to the corner of Southwest Second and South Lucas,

that McPherson’s dog came across the yard unleashed and attacked his dog causing injuries. Comstock stated that Throntveit kicked her dog during the fight between them. The dog has since been quarantined at Emerson’s.

This meeting was to decide if it should be declared a dangerous animal under City Code.

At the meeting, Throntveit stated that his grandmother has kept the dog in her care when he was on the road for work and has never had any problems. Comstock stated that the dog has never done this before, and was just being protective of its territory. The Council felt that Officer Quintus acted properly in upholding the code regarding vicious animals.

Councilperson Wally Lorenzen asked Throntveit if there had been any trouble from the dog before, to which he responded no. “Dogs are territorial,” said Councilperson Denny Vandewater. “It’s the owner’s responsibility (to keep them under control).” Resolution 201624, declaring the dog a dangerous animal, was approved. They now have 30 days to remove the dog from the City, which they will comply with since they had planned to move to

Ames anyway.

Under department reports, City Administrator Mike Boyd stated that the wastewater treatment agreement with AGP is now finalized. He also informed the Council that Heartland Asphalt is not coming now until late August to do some overlay patching of selected areas around the city.

In other action the Council: -approved Resolution 201625 setting salaries for FY16-17 for appointed officers and employees of the city; -received the new transit service contract from Courtney Stewart, Wright County Transit Coordinator.

There are only minor changes, and the document will be placed on the July 5 agenda for consideration; -approved a beer/liquor license for Eagle Grove Greenhouse (wine permit); -approved cigarette permits for Casey’s General Store, Kum & Go, Dollar General Store, Cenex Ampride and Fareway; -approved building permits for Brent Thompson (sewer repair), Richard Taylor (deck), Larry Meyer (fence), Rae Freeman (hard surface parking area) and Bill Gross (shed).

Run for Acceptance a big success

The 5k has been a part of Summerfest for years, but this was the first year it was sponsored by the Eagle Grove Special Olympics. The committee was thrilled with the turn-out, registering well over 150 runners, walkers, and kids riding bikes. “We had 150 bracelets to hand out along the route... and we ran out. I thought that would be enough to last us for two years,” said Jen Conaway, one of the coordinators. The proceeds will go into the Special Olympics fund and help to purchase more team jackets.

Dows may work with sheriff’s office for city law enforcement, DD#39 hearings closed Kacey Ginn

Wright County Monitor, editor

wrightcomonitor@gmail.com

Larry Klatt, mayor of Dows, came to the board of supervisors Monday to discuss law enforcement for the city.

Klatt said that though their current officer, Arlyn Miller, would continue to work in code enforcement, the city was in need of someone to regularly patrol and answer emergency calls, and were hoping the county sheriff’s department could fill that role.

Chief Deputy Jeremy Hogrefe said the sheriff’s office had suggested a figure for a one-year agreement, and they would see how it worked from there. “One of our concerns is that we’re going to get a lot more calls,” he said.

The supervisors approved moving forward with the arrangement. The next steps will be to have the county attorney draw up a contract and for the supervisors to approve it.

At 10 a.m., the supervisors took on their role as drainage trustees for a continued hearing for improvements to DD#93 near Galt, last officially discussed one year ago. At that time, county tile underneath railroad in the area was cleared and an intake was fixed on land owned by Mitch Nichols.

“I think the cleanout that was done at the railroad track has helped,” landowner Gary Woodley summarized. “It’s not a full solution, everything’s a little slow, and on the north end of my farm, there’s a few wet spots.” Woodley thought there might still be some blockages.

Other landowners said that though they might like more improvements, they wanted to wait until the economy improved. “Down the road, I’d probably be in favor, but right now, I’m not. Financially it’s not going to work for me,” said Marvin Moss, who sent a letter of disapproval on continuing the project. Others agreed.

“A few years ago, we had a little more money for drainage. Right now, you get your fertilizer bill paid, and you don’t have much left,” Knute Watne said. However, he added, “I think if we do go ahead, if we’re to do all the work of digging, we definitely want to put the big one in,” referring to the suggested improvement with a 1-inch drainage coefficient.

The supervisors voted to close hearings, with Board Chairman Stan Watne abstaining due to relatives farming in the district. Hearings on DD#93 were officially discontinued until such time as the landowners would file another improvement petition.

Adam Clemons, county engineer, presented fuel bids for FY17, and recommended the supervisors approve the low bid from Ag Advantage FS with a .0729 bid margin per gallon on gasohol. Other bids were from W&H Cooperative for .125 and New Cooperative, Inc. for .0775. Supervisor Karl Helgevold moved, Supervisor Rick Rasmussen seconded, and the motion to approve Ag Advantage’s bid was approved.

Sandy McGrath, head of Planning and Zoning, requested a replacement for Carl Wibholm on the Planning and Zoning Board of Adjustment.

“He’s indicated he’s been on there long enough and would like to step down,” she said. At Watne’s suggestion, she had offered the position to Dave Nelson of rural Belmond. Watne said he thought Nelson would do a good job and also wanted to thank Wibholm for his 15 years of service.

Andy Yackle with the courthouse building and grounds requested $9,000 out of the capital projects fund to buy three new doors for the auditor’s office.

The reason for the expense was a large size and a style with a transom at the top. Yackle also wanted the doors to match the office’s interior trim. He reported that a single good strong door that would fit but not match might be $1,500-$2,000. “It is expensive, but not out of the ballpark for a door like that,” Yackle said.

Yackle also requested $10,000 to go toward improving air conditioning in the building, making his requests $19,000 total. Supervisors Watne and Rasmussen voted yes; Helgevold voted no. The motion passed 2-1. “I have no issue with the air conditioning. It’s just hard to swallow with the doors,” Helgevold said.

The supervisors also continued their discussion on whether to approve the use of the courthouse lawn for public Bible reading. Their conclusion was much the same as last week; Auditor Betty Ellis said she would note in the meeting minutes that they approved the use without formal action or motion.

Laura Thomas was also reappointed to the Conservation Board for another five-year term.

Author and Eagle Grove native, Bettie Burres Youngs, will be guest speaker at Heartland Museum

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Bettie Burres Youngs is an Eagle Grove High School alumnus - Class of 1966. In addition to becoming a teacher, a professor, and a regular on the radio and television circuit (with appearances on such shows as the Phil Donahue Show, Sally Jessy Raphael, Oprah, and CNN, Newsweek, Time, Redbook, and Family Circle). After high school, she also became a Pulitzer-Prize nominated author of more than 25 books translated into more than 28 languages.

Her early stories focused on school and family, but it was her short story books that shot her to success.

Youngs will be sharing some of those stories during a special appearance at the Heartland Museum in Clarion (located on the west side of Clarion, south side of Highway 3) on Saturday, June 25 at 2 p.m.

“Last year I received a call from former Clarion Attorney, Dewayne Knoshaug, saying he had read some of my books, and asked if he could make my books available in local libraries,” said Youngs. “He also asked if I might accept an invitation to make a presentation to the Heartland Museum. I told him that I would be coming back to see my brothers and sister and to attend my class reunion in June, 2016. He and Mary Tesdahl set it up around the reunion date of my returning “home.”

Following the Heartland Museum presentation on June 25, she will be signing copies of Values from the Heartland: Stories of an American Farmgirl, with proceeds going to the Heartland Museum. This is not a new publication for Youngs, but she has chosen this one because of it’s ties to this area. You may likely recognize many of the names and places mentioned.

The book features 27 short stories. The dust jacket reads “It was here, growing up on a farm in America’s heartland, that Youngs learned the many values of family life: love, respect, honor, loyalty and self-discipline, among others.

Told in loving detail are nostalgic stories recollected from Youngs’s childhood—a rich tapestry that allows us to share on the warmth and balance of life in the Midwest… and through these value-laden stories she shows us how challenging times, when leavened with love and support, can provide strength of character, courage and leadership.”

One of the stories in this international best-selling book tells the tale of she and her siblings. The Little Glass Chip and how they loved to “secretly snoop” in her parents’

Bettie Burres Youngs bedroom drawer. It was a drawer they were strictly forbidden to go into. One time, Youngs found a small jewelry box in the drawer containing a little glass chip. Years later, she asked her mother about the chip, and learned an amazing love story that she shares with readers in her book.

The book is filled with personal stories like this that will leave the reader finding some connection and wanting more.

“My books carry stories of some 95 local community members—teachers, neighbors, parents and friends,” Youngs said in a letter to Mary Tesdahl of the Heartland Museum. “I’ve also been instrumental in helping others publish their books, such as Eagle Grove’s Archie Willard—whose biography, Last Reader Standing: The Archie Willard Story, is available online at Amazon.com.”

Youngs said her love of writing was sparked when she became a teacher.

After graduating high school, Youngs attended Iowa Central Community College and Drake University. In 1976 she was named the IOWA Teacher-of-the-Year— the youngest to receive the State’s prestige’s honor.

“Being named Iowa-Teacherof-the-Year opened up many doors beyond the classroom in terms of leadership opportunities. I picked up both a Ph.D., and an Ed.D., and eventually accepted a post in Administration / Management at a University in Graduate School (in San Diego). This eventually lead to starting my own international company that allowed me to use my experiences in consulting positions world-wide, and so on. My writing came from sharing my experiences—which is just another way of teaching, really,” said Youngs. “My earlier books were focused on child development and social change but in time the nostalgia

of the love and honor and respect I had for my parents and growing up on a farm surrounded by small town communities—and especially Eagle Grove since that was where I went to middle school and high school—triggered writing focused on the power of Midwest upbringing. I also attended a one-room K-12 school near Vincent, and even then, I found many of the antics of this cast of 17 K-12 kids coming together amusing— and insightful. I do believe I have a curiosity about why people do what they do—and often find the humor in it; certainly that is the nature of some of my stories that entail my teachers, classmates, and community members.

Well into adult life, the more I traveled the world, and acquired friendships with those I could relate to and respect, the more closely I looked at who my friends were. I discovered that I had cultivated deep friendships with the Millard Fullers of the world (who founded Habitat for Humanity), and saw that I had gravitated and been accepted by those whose values mimicked those of my parents—and had been instilled in me growing up in “the Heartland.” This triggered more writing about the importance of the values we learn in the Heartland, and the people and communities that embrace and stand up for these values.”

She went on to say “One of my fondest memories is when Robert Ray presented me with that award. He gave me a paper clip necklace with a small diamond. I was so proud to be in education, to represent Iowa, and in the presence of Governor Robert Ray. I wore that necklace for many years.”

Youngs is the daughter of Arlene and Everett Burres, now deceased, and sister to Tim Burres of Humboldt, Kevin and Mark Burres of Eagle Grove, and sister Judy BurresMusselman of Fort Dodge.

Another series of books popular in Youngs’ published list that you may recognize is “Taste Berries for Teens,” which she wrote with her daughter, Jennifer Leigh Youngs.

There are over a million books in print.

The staff members of Rotary Senior Living helped serve the Annual BBQ Picnic held last year.

Photo submitted

Rotary Senior Living to host annual picnic Every year Rotary Senior Living hosts a picnic barbecue and invites the Rotary Senior Living residents and their families and employees to enjoy great food and festivities.

This year, the Summer Barbecue is set for Sunday, June 26, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

On the menu will be grilled hot dogs and brats, chips, watermelon, and root beer. The Rotary Senior Living staff will have games for the kids and adults to participate in, and Galen Peters and Band are set

to perform from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Residents look forward to the picnic each year and enjoy having their family members attend, along with meeting the families of the staff.

The photos of the event are enjoyed for years to come. We encourage everyone to follow all the activities for Rotary Senior Living on our Facebook page and our website at www.rotaryseniorliving.com.

The Fourth of July is best known for celebrations with family and friends, enjoying the summer weather with food and drinks. Those celebrations often include drinking alcohol which can lead to impaired driving.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 164 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving at least one driver with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher over the three-day Fourth of July holiday in 2014. In reality, 40 percent of the total fatalities were more than likely preventable. The rate of alcohol impairment for drivers involved in fatal crashes was over three times higher at night than during the day. To date, there have been 154 fatalities on Iowa roadways this year, up 31, or 25 percent from this time last year.

State and local law enforcement agencies will step up their efforts Friday evening, July 1 through the morning of Tuesday, July 5, to

eliminate drunk drivers on the roads and reduce speeding in order to protect all of the motoring public.

What can you do in order to reach your destination safely, not only this Fourth of July, but every day?

• Do not drive; if you have been drinking, plan ahead and arrange a way to get home.

• Buckle up; it is the single most effective way to prevent serious injury if you should be involved in a crash.

• Don’t speed; speeding has been a factor in about 30 percent of crash deaths since 2005 (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety).

According to the Iowa DOT, there were no fatalities over the three-day Fourth of July holiday weekend in 2015. Together, we hope to repeat that this Fourth of July weekend! The Iowa Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) Iowa Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) hopes you, your family and your friends have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

Esther Claudein (Staley) Howell, the daughter of Claude M. and Maud (Johnson) Staley, was born April 20, 1930, in Eagle Grove, Iowa, where she was raised and educated.

On January 3, 1948, Esther was united in marriage to Lonnie W. Howell, in Fort Dodge. The couple made their home in Eagle Grove and raised five children.

Esther passed away on Wednesday, June 8, 2016, at the age of 86 years.

She was preceded in death by her parents; siblings, June, Katherine, Grace, Connie, and Howard (Bud); husband, Lonnie in 1995; and son,

King Band presents “Trouping with Karl King”

The summer concerts by the Karl L. King Municipal Band will continue Sunday evening, June 19, starting at 7:30 p.m. There is no admission charge, courtesy of the City of Fort Dodge. These concerts are held at the Karl L. King Band Shell in Oleson Park. Conductor of the Band is Jerrold P. Jimmerson, and the Assistant Conductor is Dr. David Klee. In case of inclement weather at the starting time, the concert may be cancelled.

An ice cream social by the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church precedes each concert. Persons attending these concerts are reminded to bring their own lawn chairs, since no seating is provided.

A wide variety of music is planned to appeal to all musical tastes during this special Father’s Day presentation.

The concert will open with two of Karl King’s many march-style compositions, “Neddermeyer Triumphal” and “Howdy Pap,” and will close with Henry Fillmore’s classic march, “Man of the Hour.” Also on the program will be E.E. Bagley’s tribute to George Washington, “Father of His Country.”

The evening’s classical offering will be the overture to the opera, Egmont, by the German composer Ludwig von Beethoven. This opera premiered in June 1810, and included a series of incidental pieces based by a 1787 play by Goethe. The subject of the music and dramatic narrative is the life and heroism of a 16th-century

Dutch nobleman, the Count of Egmont, and it was composed during the period of the Napoleonic Wars.

Special guest soloists for the evening will be Robert Patton, baritone, from Gowrie, and Edwin Griffith, tenor, from Des Moines.

Mr. Patton attended the University of Northern Iowa before joining the U.S. Air Force Singing Sergeants in Washington, D.C. During his twenty years in the military, Patton soloed with the National Symphony, and the Boston and Cincinnati Pops Orchestras. He also performed with the Washington Civic, Baltimore, Wolf Trap, Northern Virginia and Annapolis opera companies. In 1991, he returned to Gowrie and became editor and publisher of The Gowrie News, the fourth generation owner of a 110-year-old family business. Now retired, he is in demand as a vocalist throughout the Midwest.

Mr. Griffith graduated from Simpson College in Indianola, and has performed throughout the United States. He has performed leading roles with opera companies and symphony orchestras in Nashville, the Bronx, Sarasota, Natchez, Delaware, Lancaster, and West Jersey among many others. Since returning to Iowa, he has sung leading roles with the Des Moines Metro Opera and the Des Moines Symphony Orchestra, along with numerous other choral groups in the central Iowa area.

Mr. Patton and Mr. Griffith will perform two duets with the King Band. First will be “Au fond du

Iowa Specialty Hospital – Belmond named among the quietest hospitals Iowa Specialty Hospital – Belmond has been named among the top 53 hospitals in the nation with the quietest rooms, according to Becker’s Healthcare. This announcement was released through Becker’s Infection Control & Clinical Quality publication.

Iowa Specialty Hospital – Belmond received this distinction based on 88 percent of its patients reporting the area around their room was “always” quiet at night on their HCAHPS surveys from July 2014 through June 2015 (the most recent data available). The national average is 62 percent.

“We are honored to be named among the best patient-rated hospitals in the nation,” said Amy McDaniel, CEO of Iowa Specialty Hospital – Belmond. “Patient feedback allows us to continue to improve the care we provide to our patients.

Such recognition showcases our dedication to quality care and patient satisfaction.”

Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) provide a standardized survey for the collection and measuring of patients’ perspectives on their hospital care. Prior to HCAHPS, a uniformed measurement for collecting this patient data for an accurate comparison did not exist. The HCAHPS survey is now a national standard for measurement and assists hospitals with improvements for customer service and quality-related activities.

Becker’s Healthcare is a leading source of cutting edge business and legal information for the healthcare industry. It provides guidance and analysis on infection control, quality, patient safety, and accreditation issues to hospital leaders through Becker’s Infection Control & Clinical Quality publication.

Five different bike groups rode through Eagle Grove on Saturday June 11, making a stop at Rails Bar and Grill. Photo submitted

Bikers on a mission

by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Summer is the season of bike runs, and Saturday, June 11 was an especially busy day for bikers stopping by Rails Bar and Grill in Eagle Grove as part of their trip.

Five different groups rolled through, all raising money for various causes like childhood diabetes and more.

Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A) was one of those groups riding for a cause.

Originally founded in 1987, this group of bikers has grown rapidly in their mission to take a stand against child abuse, be it emotional, sexual, or physical, and

raise money to help them.

In their quest to help these abused children through the healing process and restoring self-worth and confidence, two B.A.C.A. members are assigned as a child’s primary contact.

They talk with them whenever the child feels the need.

B.A.C.A. offers support based on each child’s individual need and need of their family. That might mean a B.A.C.A. member visiting the home, visiting the child at school, helping them meet therapy needs, and so much more. They are even available to accompany a child to court and parole hearings if needed.

B.A.C.A. are bikers ready and willing to empower abused children to feel safe again. For more information on their mission, visit www. http://bacaworld.org/mission/ If you or someone you know is in need of their assistance, the Des Moines Helpline is 515-789-0101.

John and Sandy McGrath, owners of Rails Bar and Grill, were happy to have B.A.C.A., and the other local bike run riders make their establishment part of the fundraiser.

The next local bike run that will be coming through is scheduled for this Sunday, June 26 with all proceeds going to the Henry Shriver fund.

County hospice now Gateway Hospice Kacey Ginn

Wright County Monitor editor

wrightcomonitor@gmail.com

Hospice for Wright County, since being sold in April to Heartland Healthcare, has taken on some new staff, a new (temporary) location, and a new name: Gateway Hospice. Now under the umbrella of The Ensign Group, the same company that has operated the Clarion Wellness and Rehabilitation Center for several years, Gateway Hospice hopes to continue to serve the county and provide hospice services right where patients need it.

Gateway Hospice operates with one full-time and several part-time or PRN nurses and aides, with a chaplain, social worker, and physician available to meet patient needs. Local leaders are Rachel Johnson as branch manager and Nancy Huisinga as clinical director. With the local leadership comes choice and flexibility for the patient to be cared for where most convenient, but the ownership of a larger company also comes with advantages. “We have all the resources of a world-class healthcare organization that operates all over the country a phone call away,” said Kim Rupp, executive director.

Gateway can provide hospice care at home, in an assisted living facility, nursing home or hospital.

Services include nursing, social work, spiritual care, volunteer helpers, and bereavement services for families.

From left to right; Rachel Johnson, branch manager; Kim Rupp, executive director; and Nancy Huisinga, clinical director.

“The focus is to increase the quality of life,” Huisinga said. “It’s focusing on a very important stage of a person’s life, and honoring it and acknowledging it, and helping the family to accept and celebrate.”

Huisinga has 22 years of public health and hospice experience. She also understands what hospice is like from a family’s perspective, and said hospice care can help both the individual patient and the family.

“The family is our second patient,” she said.

Johnson has previously worked as a CNA and in marketing for a rehabilitation center. She hopes to be able to promote awareness of hospice services and reach out to the community in the future. “A lot of the misconception with hospice is lack of education,” she said.

“We are Gateway Hospice, formerly Wright County Hospice.

We are not a new organization with no background coming in,” she said.

“Even though our name is different, our service and our dedication are going to be the same.”

Opinions/Around the Area

Eagle Grove Eagle

Community newspaper growth finally gets noticed What took so long?

A few months back, I had breakfast with the publisher of a very successful community newspaper in Minnesota.

As we walked around the restaurant, I was introduced to local residents enjoying their muffins and eggs. At one table, a customer asked what I was doing in their city.

When I explained I was working with the local newspaper, a gentleman spoke up. “Whatever you do, don’t mess it up. We love our newspaper.”

A few weeks later, while in town working with a community newspaper in South Florida, I found myself in a conversation with the president of the local real estate association. When the conversation turned to my client, he was quick to share some personal thoughts.

“Do you know,” he began, “why realtors, auto dealers and other advertisers advertise in the community paper instead of the big daily?”

He had my attention.

“People who live here pick up this paper, see the faces of the writers and say, ‘I know him,’ or ‘I know her.’ It makes a real difference. That’s why people love this newspaper, and that’s why advertisers want their ads in this paper.”

Last week, as I arrived at the rental house where I would be living for three days, the owner asked me what brought me to her town.

When I told her I was there to work with the local newspaper, a smile hinted at what she was about to say. “We love our paper here. The same family has owned the paper for decades. We are so lucky to have it.”

Three days ago, as I sat alone at the Lakewood Supper Club, looking out over a beautiful sunset on Big Stone Lake, which creates the border between South Dakota and Minnesota, the waitress quickly recognized my southern accent.

“What brings you all the way from Tennessee?” she asked.

When I explained that I was in town to work with the local newspaper for two days, I had a new friend.

“We are so lucky to have our paper,” Michelle told me. “We love our paper.”

I feel like a broken record when I remind people just how well community newspapers are

kevin@kevinslimp.com

doing across America. As I work with hundreds of papers each year, it’s a common theme as publishers talk to me about their individual operations.

I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw a story in Editor & Publisher titled, “Despite ‘Doom and Gloom,’ Community Newspapers are Growing Stronger” in early June.

Editor & Publisher isn’t the only industry journal to take up this mantra. It seems that community papers are “in” again. The column you are reading is carried by industry-related journals and publications on four continents. I often take the opportunity to read what other “experts” are writing in these publications. For years I’ve read how newspapers must shift their focus away from creating quality products to crunching numbers.

Now, it seems, quality is important again.

“Despite ‘Doom and Gloom,’ Community Newspapers are Growing Stronger” proclaimed the headline. I chuckled because I was reminded of the interview I did with Editor & Publisher just about a year ago for a column titled, “Strategic Innovations Overshadow the Technical,” by Eric Schult.

Eric contacted me to discuss the role of technology and centralization at newspapers. It didn’t take long for the conversation to shift to the success community newspapers are having without centralizing production. Eric seemed surprised when I shared some of my research information indicating locallyowned newspapers are doing quite well. At one point, I mentioned the success of community newspapers might be an important topic for a story. As I remember, Eric agreed.

One of the things I remind clients, whether they are locallyowned community papers or part of larger groups, is to be realistic about what they do. More times than not, newspapers ask me to help improve their products while on-site. That always means that something is going to change. I’m noticing newspapers are more accepting of change these days when confronted with reasonable information.

Last week, I had a discussion with a staff from South Dakota that sounded like a conversation I’ve had many times. It revolved around grayscale photos on pages. Now and then, I’ll work with a group that uses color pictures on grayscale pages, to simplify the conversion of documents from print to online. By placing color photos on the pages, the RIP (the device that controls the creation of plates

UnityPoint Health Partners announces new leadership UnityPoint Health Partners, the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) of UnityPoint Health®, is now under the leadership of David Williams, M.D. Dr. Williams is tasked with the dual role of Chief Executive Officer for UnityPoint Health Partners, in addition to his role as Senior Vice President of Clinical Integration and Optimization. These two roles provide behind the scenes work to better patient care. As Senior Vice President of Clinical Integration and Optimization, Williams is responsible for leading system quality, patient safety, patient experience, process excellence, analytics and information technology.

In his leadership of UnityPoint Health Partners, Dr. Williams will help ensure the ACO focuses on getting the right care to patients at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of service and preventing medical errors. ACOs are groups of doctors, hospitals and other health care providers who come together voluntarily to give coordinated, high quality care to their patients. Dr. Williams is ready to tackle this additional role with his nearly two decades of clinical experience for UnityPoint Health and its predecessor, Iowa Health

System. Dr. Williams is residency trained and board certified in pediatrics. He received his medical degree from Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., and completed his pediatric residency at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Ore. His background as a physician will be invaluable in his new role as CEO. He will have his pulse on the needs of both patients and physicians. “Our world is changing, and the way we deliver health care and help take care of our patients is changing,” Dr. Williams said. “We are in a new age of transparency, and we must be able to prove and demonstrate our value to our patients and communities. Physicians have always been focused on quality and patient satisfaction, but the bar has been raised, and providers and community services must come together in a coordinated, efficient manner that leads us to the best outcomes.” Dr. Williams assumes this role from Kevin Vermeer, who now serves as president and CEO of UnityPoint Health.

for the press) can simply convert the images to gray while making the plates, allowing the same files to be uploaded to a website in full color.

While this does simplify the process of converting print pages for the Internet, the issue – as I’ve explained dozens of times to groups – is the photos will look much better in print when edited and converted to grayscale first.

I know what always follows next. “Yes, but if we place color pictures on the pages, we don’t have to create new pages to go online.”

That’s when I get straight to the point.

“Let me ask you something,” I usually begin. “Do you make more money off your digital product or your print product?”

To date, no one has ever answered they make more money from their digital product. Most often, the answer is, “We don’t make a profit from our digital newspaper.”

“So,” I’ll ask, “why do you put more effort in making your digital pages look good when all of your profit is in print?”

At this point, I usually see faces begin to light up.

In her story for Editor & Publisher, Sharon Knolle is right: despite the gloom and doom, community papers are growing stronger. I would argue, however, this is not a new phenomenon. Most gloom and doom I’ve noticed among community newspapers over the past few years has been perceived, not real.

It took four or five years, but most community papers I visit – and I visit a lot – realize the “death of newspapers” cry was created primarily by folks who could profit if that turned out to be the case. The reality, as Knolle noted, is community newspapers are growing stronger.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be traveling all over Tennessee, Western Canada, West Virginia and back to the Upper Midwest. I will visit with staffs and hear how much their readers love their papers. Publishers will seek advice concerning software and hardware purchases because, among other things, they realize they have to plan for the future.

In 2008, the dean of a prestigious university school of journalism told me he didn’t believe there would be a single printed newspaper left in America within ten years. He still has 17 months to prove me wrong. If the folks at Editor & Publisher are right, it seems a safe bet at least one newspaper will be standing.

UnityPoint Health—Trinity Regional Medical Center honored with Mission: Lifeline achievement award UnityPoint Health—Trinity Regional Medical Center has received the Mission: Lifeline® Bronze Receiving Quality Achievement Award for implementing specific quality improvement measures outlined by the American Heart Association for the treatment of patients who suffer severe heart attacks.

Every year, more than 250,000 people experience an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) the most deadly type of heart attack caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment. To prevent death, it’s critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by mechanically opening the blocked vessel or by providing clot-busting medication.

The American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline program’s goal is

to reduce system barriers to prompt treatment for heart attacks, beginning with the 9-1-1 call and continuing through hospital treatment.

“Trinity Regional Medical Center is dedicated to improving the quality of care for our patients who suffer a heart attack, and the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline program is helping us accomplish that goal through nationally respected clinical guidelines,” said Mike Dewerff, President and CEO of UnityPoint Health—Fort Dodge.

“We are pleased to be recognized for our dedication and achievements in cardiac care, and I am very proud of our staff and physicians.”

“We commend UnityPoint Health—Trinity Region for this achievement award, which reflects a significant institutional commitment to the highest quality of care for their heart attack patients,” said James G.

Jollis, MD, Chair of the Mission: Lifeline Advisory Working Group.

“Achieving this award means the hospital has met specific reporting and achievement measures for the treatment of their patients who suffer heart attacks and we applaud them for their commitment to quality and timely care.”

Trinity Regional Medical Center earned the award by meeting specific criteria and standards of performance for the quick and appropriate treatment of STEMI patients by providing emergency procedures to re-establish blood flow to blocked arteries when needed. Eligible hospitals must adhere to these measures at a set level for at least one consecutive 90day interval.

Kenzie had a nice week at the plate in helping the Eagles to some wins. She had four total hits, including a triple and two doubles. She drove in four total runs and scored two runs as well. The freshman is the daughter of Tracy and Tracy Crail.

Palmer takes pair of third place finishes Just like the weather, the action heated up at area race tracks as Wright County drivers made a good showing last week. On Thursday night in Algona, Chad Palmer of Renwick finished third in the stock car feature with Heath Tulp of Belmond 11th in that race.

On Saturday night in Webster City, Matt Ring of Dows took his #58 machine to fourth place at the finish line. He was followed by fellow stock division competitors John Campbell of Belmond in seventh and Parker Slagle of Eagle Grove in 12th. Also on Saturday in Britt, Palmer took third again in that feature event.

As part of their ongoing community service efforts, some members of the Eagle cross country team helped clean up the track and football field area following the alumni football game. If you have a project that the team could undertake, contact either coach Demuth or Becker.

Last Wednesday night in Britt, the Eagle Grove varsity softball team made quick work of West Hancock in defeating the home Eagles 15-3 in four innings. The ladies bats were really on fire, as they plated four runs in the top of the second and four each in the third and fourth frames to put it out of reach.

Hannah Beecher was 4 of 4 with a double, three RBI and three runs scored. Aja Bell was equally up to the task, going 2 of 2 with a triple, three RBI and three runs scored. Hallie Jeske was 2 of 3, with Laine Morgan, Esme Figueroa and McKenzie Crail all getting one base hit each. Morgan and Crail had two RBI each, with Esme driving in one run. Jarika Eisentrager, Crail and Dru Boatner all crossed the plate twice each, while Jana Willard, Desi Shivers and Sadie Stuhr also got into the act with one run scored apiece. Jarika and Aja both had two steals each, with Hannah, Laine, Esme, Jana and Kenzie all grabbing one base each. Jarika and Jana both showed a good eye in taking two walks each, with Raechel Spangler, Desi and Dru all drawing one free pass to first.

Sarah Wilson picked up another win in the circle, allowing only two earned runs on four hits with no walks given up and three K’s.

“We did a good job of taking care of business,” stated head coach Jim McLaughlin. “Hannah got us rolling in the first inning, and Aja’s triple to center was huge. We’ve made changes in the batting order to spread out the power and mix in a little of our speed. Sarah pitched a nice game, allowing only four hits and all in the fourth. We’re still trying to figure out how to close teams out and put games away. We just wanted to get out of this one with a win.”

On Friday in a home contest, the purple and gold solidly defeated Belmond-Klemme 8-1. The ladies were up 5-0 after three complete innings, then plated three runs in their half of the fifth for some insurance. The Broncos put up their only score in the seventh inning.

Morgan was 2 of 4 including smashing a triple, and scored two runs herself. Jeske also had a triple as her lone hit, while Eisentrager rocketed a pair of doubles in three trips to the plate with two RBI and a run scored. Crail went 3 of 3, with one of those as a triple and two as doubles, with two RBI. Bell ripped a double in three times at-bat, and had an RBI along with scoring two runs.

Jana Willard makes a catch and throws from her right field position. The junior scored a run and stole a base in a win over West Hancock at Britt. Photo by Les Houser Beecher was 1 of 4 and scored a run. Also scoring were Spangler and Boatner as a courtesy runner, while Figueroa and Spangler each had an RBI. Raechel and Aja each stole a base, with Esme and Jana both drawing a free pass to first each.

Wilson took another win in the circle, allowing no earned runs on a two-hitter with no walks and six K’s.

“They had beaten us 2-1 at their place, so we wanted to jump on them early and we did,” said the head coach. “Sarah did a great job again.

Our three errors in the seventh gave them the run. MeKenzie at the bottom of the order had a solid night.

Our number six to nine hitters did a nice job. Laine is developing some power with her bat.”

The team is now 9-9 overall, and hosts Pocahontas Area this Thursday. They will go to GarnerHayfield/Ventura next Monday, then hosts North Union on Wednesday.

“We’ve eliminated a lot of our strikeouts and so we’re putting the ball in play,” concluded McLaughlin.

“Sarah is hitting her spots, and her change-up is working well.”

Laine Morgan tries to control the ball in this outfield catch versus Belmond-Klemme.

The freshman had a triple and scored two runs in the win.

Alumni Game 2016

The first (hopefully) annual Alumni Football Game between the Eagle Grove Eagles and the ClarionGoldfield-Dows Cowboys took place in Eagle Grove on Friday, July 17. It was a huge success as fans turned out in large numbers to support their favorite team. The Eagles walked away with a victory, but they were all winners having come together to raise money for the Eagle Grove Sports Boosters Club. The two teams are hoping to hold an Alumni Game again next year in Clarion, with all proceeds going to their Sports Boosters.

Eagle baseball team squeaks past Broncos

Miller, Lobato both swat a double By les houser wrightcosports@gmail.com

Last Friday night in a home game, the Eagle Grove varsity baseball team scored two runs in their half of the sixth inning to take the lead then held on for a 5-4 victory over Belmond-Klemme. Lincoln Miller reached on a base hit in the first, then stole his way to second base. One batter later, Colton Poncin brought him home. In the Eagles half of the fourth frame, John Mosely led off with a single followed by Saxon Lyman doing to same to put two on with no outs. Nate Kastler’s sac fly moved both of them along, followed

by Carlos Lobato getting a base hit to score courtesy runner Sam Johnson (for Mosely) and advance Lyman who then scored on an error. In the sixth, Saxon Lyman had his second base hit of the night and advanced to second courtesy of Kastler. Spencer Espejo singled to bring Lyman home, then stole second. Lobato then stepped into the box and delivered a two-bagger to score Espejo.

Miller, Mosely, S.Lyman and Lobato all ended the night at 2 of 3, with Lobato getting credit for two

RBI. Saxon scored two runs and Miller one run. Poncin and Espejo added base hits to the attack, with each also credited with an RBI. Espejo and Johnson crossed the dish once each. Alex Jensen, Miller, Espejo and Lobato all stole a base, with Spencer and Brayden Lyman each drawing a free pass to first.

Mosely picked up the win on the hill, allowing no earned runs over four innings of work. He allowed two hits and no walks with two K’s. Brayden pitched the other three innings, allowing four earned on seven hits with a walk and a strikeout.

“We had to battle back to get this one,” stated head skipper Jordan Miller. “Give credit to Carlos and Spencer for coming up with key hits to drive runners across the plate when it was needed. John was huge for us, coming in and stopping the Broncos momentum. He threw strikes and most importantly got ahead of their hitters.”

Prior to that game, the boys in purple and gold lost a tight 4-3 game at Britt to West Hancock. The home Eagles were up 4-0 after two

complete frames, and held on from there thru a two-run sixth for the visitors.

In the third, Lobato advanced after being hit by a pitch and stole second. Jensen pushed him to third, and he then scored on an error. In the sixth, Poncin had a base hit then stole second. Mosely then smashed a double to score pinch runner Dalton Schaffer (for Poncin). Mosely also crossed the dish on errors.

Jensen swung the big stick, going 2 of 3 while Mosely doubled in his only hit of the night and had an RBI. Poncin and Lobato both added base hits to the cause. Jensen stole two bases, with Lobato and Schaffer getting away with one steal each.

Jensen also drew a walk.

Saxon went the distance on the hill, allowing just one earned on seven hits over six innings.

He walked three and fanned four batters.

“Saxon threw well,” said coach Miller. “Unfortunately, our defense let him down early. We had our chances, but at the end of the day we couldn’t get a key hit with runners in scoring position.”

Alex enjoyed a good week offensively for the Eagles, smacking five total hits with an RBI and a run scored. The senior is the son of Scott Jensen and Sarah Jensen.

24-27

On Thursday, the team dropped a 17-2 home game to St. Edmond.

The Eagles scored a single run each in the first and second innings. Jensen reached on an error in the first, with another error pushing him to the bag at second. A sac fly by Kastler put him at third, where he came home courtesy of a Niko Padilla infield grounder. In the second, Miller stepped into the box to lead off and ripped a double. A Mosely sac fly advanced him, and Brayden finished the job by bringing him in on another sac fly.

“We played three really good innings, but credit the Gaels with keeping the pressure on us to which our defense didn’t respond well,” said coach Miller. “Our overall play has to improve to be where we want to be.”

This past Monday, the team lost an exciting 11-8 game at Bishop Garrigan. The Bears were up 6-0 before the Eagle bats came to life.

They scored four runs in their half of the fifth, then tacked on two more in each of the next two innings.

However, a four-run sixth inning for Garrigan proved too much to

overcome.

Jensen was 3 of 5 with an RBI and a run scored, while Espejo was 3 of 4 with an RBI and a run scored.

Saxon Lyman was 2 of 3 with an RBI and Mosely 2 of 4 with an RBI and a run scored. Also collecting base hits, of the 14 total hits, were Miller, Lobato, Kastler and Brayden Lyman. Miller had an RBI, while Carlos, Nate, Brayden, Johnson and Schaffer all crossed the dish once each. Jensen picked off two bags, with Miller and Lobato making one steal each. Miller and Saxon Lyman each drew a walk.

Saxon took the loss, giving up three earned over five innings with three walks and five K’s. Mosely saw duty for one inning, walking three and striking out two while giving up four earned runs.

The team is now 5-9 overall, and hosts Manson NW Webster this Thursday before going to a tournament at Riverfront Stadium in Waterloo on Friday. Tickets for that game can be purchased at the venue. They play at Garner-Hayfield/ Ventura next Monday and then host North Union on Wednesday.

Lincoln Miller watches for his chance to advance on the bases versus the Broncos.

The junior had two hits in the game and scored a run. He had an RBI in a loss at Bishop Garrigan this past Monday.
