Boy Scout Troop forms in Eagle Grove after 15 year lapse by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Eagle Grove has been without a Boy Scout Troop for 15 years. One could say there are a variety of reasons of why, but what matters most is that a Pack has finally been reestablished, one with leaders who are willing to commit their time and energy, and boys sixth grade and older who are excited to embark on the world of outdoor adventure, survival skills, and character building. While there has been an active younger group of Scouts (first grade Tigers, second grade Wolves, third grade Bears, and fourth/fifth grade Webelos) it’s been too long since a group has gone on to establish a Boy Scouts group. “Our Eagle Grove Cub Scout Pack has been growing over the last five years,” said Scout Master Rick
Dawson. He went on to say that many of the boys involved wanted to continue in Scouting after fifth grade, but found it difficult to travel to other communities to participate in Boy Scouts. Through Dawson’s and Assistant Scout Master Craig Voss’s leadership, it is now possible to belong to a Pack right here in Eagle Grove. “We have a number of adults who are completing the necessary requirements to become merit badge counselors and boys are actively meeting, learning, and serving,” said Dawson, who has been involved in Scouting for 17 years. The first step was to raise money to get the group going. “The group of boys that we have now are excited to do outdoor --------------------------------------Scouts cont. on Page 3

Samuel Evangelical Lutheran Church - taking time to give thanks by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net In this season of Thanksgiving, Pastor Rich Taylor of the Samuel Evangelical Lutheran Church of Eagle Grove is expressing his gratitude for the rich 125 year history of his church, as well as the congregation who continues a faithful outreach to the community. The beginning “Old church history is interesting in that it is like the Old Testament of the Bible...men are mentioned, but not the women,” said Pastor Taylor. Looking back at the beginning of Samuel Lutheran Church, Pastor Taylor said records show that the church was officially founded on August 21, 1892. There were 11
men mentioned as the founding group. “But I imagine some had wives and families,” said Pastor Taylor. The founders included John C. Brown, Andrew Heft, Christ Eittreim, Tosten Tostenson, Christ Sveen, Hans H. Thompson, Ole B. Moe, Lewis Fixen, Sven Sandvig, Lewis Eike, and John Uhr. In October of 1892, the congregation purchased a church in the 500 block of N. Cadwell. The first pastor to serve the church was Rev. C.J. Eastvold who then lived in Frost, Minn. He also served the congregation west of town and said he would give what time he could to Samuel Lutheran as well.In June --------------------------------------Samuel cont. on Page 3

“Peace” on display
by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net What does peace look like to you. Is it a beautiful sunset? Perhaps it’s a favorite animal, or a favorite place. For some, peace is music, or sports, or other hobbies. It’s the ocean, friends, or an unlimited variety of things. If you’re wondering what peace looks like to a fifth grader at Robert Blue Middle School, then you should stop at the Eagle Grove Memorial Library and see their Peace poster artwork on display now through January 20, 2017. Their posters were created in Abby Butson’s art class as part of the Lions Club International Peace Poster Contest. “A Celebration of Peace” was chosen as this year’s theme. When explaining the contest to the students, Lions Club member Diane O’Hern, asked the kids to think about what makes them feel calm - and then draw about it. What they came up with was truly amazing. To see them all hanging together in one room, with all their color and imagination, is even more amazing. You won’t be disappointed

Golden Stars Drill Team 3rd Annual Quarter Up Auction by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net The Eagle Grove Golden Stars Drill Team held their 3rd Annual Quarter Up Auction Saturday, Nov. 19. It was a full house as people filled Memorial Hall to enjoy some tasty treats and bid on roughly 60 items donated by Eagle Grove businesses, community members, and area supporters. There truly was something for everyone to bid on ranging from baked goods, to jewelry, to gift certificates, to processed meat, to framed prints, and Eagle Grove apparrel. There was car care supplies, crafts, hair care products, toys, picture frames and so much more. One anonymous donor at the end of the night even sent a
$100 bill up to Ann to be auctioned off, which nearly trippled it’s value when it was aucitoned off. Bids could be put in for each item. Depending on the cost of the product, bids were taken for $.25, $.50, $.75, and $1.00 - except for the $100 bill which was a $2.00 bid. Vendors also lined the walls of Memorial Hall for Quarter Up Auction attendees to shop. Many of the vendors also made generous donations to be auctioned off. At the end of the evening, Golden Stars Coach Ann Sampson graciously thanked all those who came to bid, all those who gave prizes for the auction, and all those who continue to support the Golden Stars.

Thirty-four Scout members, kindergarten through fifth grade, all gathered at one of the Eagle Grove Eagle home football games for the raising of the flag ceremony. camping,” said Dawson. Thanks to the generosity of the Wright County Charitable Foundation, the Boy Scouts received a grant for $8,400. That money will go towards purchasing camping equipment like a trailer, tents, and cooking supplies. “Scouting provides youth with opportunities to learn, serve, build confidence, and reinforce ethical standards,” said Dawson. “Scouts teaches them the skills they need to be leaders and role models in their community. Camping is a tool used in Scouts to teach these skills.” The Boy Scout Pack of Eagle Grove will also continue to be involved in community activities as they were in the Webelo Scouts. They have been a part of Flag Raising ceremonies for football and Wrestling, carried the flag in the Homecoming and Wright County Fair parades, and presented the flag at the Veterans Day and other school programs. They have collected canned goods for the Food Pantry, Christmas caroled at Rotary Senior Living, and held popcorn sales. They have also participated in a variety of day camps and summer camps, as well as hold a Pinewood Derby and a Winter Klondike Derby. Perhaps their best service of all, however, was completing the unfinished mission of a former Scout - the late Aaron Eilerts. They received funds to continue putting distance markers on the Three Rivers Trail that Eilerts had started before he lost his life in a tornado at Boy Scout Camp.

Dawson is also excited to announce that in addition to reestablishing the Boy Scouts, Eagle Grove has also been selected to be part of a new pilot program for scouting - the Lions Den. This is a Scouting group for kindergarten boys. Dawson said parents have been asking for years why their sons couldn’t start Scouting in Kindergarten - well now they can. In it’s first season, Eagle Grove has already signed up six young boys - Brandon Law, Chase Harle, Christian Schild, Joshua Reed, Reese Boyd, Logan Shide, and Mason Dicke. “Eagle Grove was selected (for the pilot program) because we have a strong Cub Scouts program,” said Dawson. The Boy Scouts meet every Sunday evening at 6:45 p.m. at Evangelical Lutheran Church in Eagle Grove. They are Chartered by the Eagle Grove Lions Club. If you have a child interested in joining them, you are encouraged to attend a meeting. If you have a child who would like to join a younger Scouting group, you are encouraged to call Dawson at 293-0505, or Voss at 851-2992. The Boys Scouts are planning a pancake supper for Saturday, Dec. 3 from 5 - 7 p.m. at the Evangelical Lutheran Church. The public is encouraged to attend to meet and support the Scouts in our community.

of 1884, the church officially joined with the Hauge Lutheran Synod. In 1895, a new church was built. In the fall of 1902, the Bethlehem Congregation of Holmes, Norway Congregation and Samuel Lutheran Congregations joined together and extended a call to Rev. Ole Andresen. He was the first pastor to live in Eagle Grove. By 1913, the Samuel Evangelical Lutheran church was ready to grow again. They purchased a lot on North Lincoln Ave and moved the church to the location where it remains today. The total cost was $3,123.08. In 1917, the United Church, the Norwegian Synod, and the Hauge Synod became the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America, which Samuel congregation joined. In 1946, this Synod became known as the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Because of the merger between the Evangelical Lutheran Church, the American Lutheran Church, and the United Evangelical Lutheran Church. In 1959, Samuel Lutheran began meeting temporarily at the Memorial Hall while their old church was being remodeled and a new church building was being constructed by John Jacobson’s crew of Eagle Grove. Dedication was held on November 20, 1960. In 1960, the Samuel Lutheran Church also had another big change. They became part of the American Lutheran church. On January 1, 1988, due to the merger of the American Lutheran church, the Lutheran Church of America, and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches, Samuel Lutheran became part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). The church remained a part of this Synod until Nov. 20, 2011, when they voted to join part of the North American Lutheran Church (NALC). In the summer of 2016, the church was once again remodeled. There were difficulties with the steeple for years, so it was taken off. The cross on top of the steeple
was originally given to the church by the John Jacobsen family, so the congregation felt it was only right to return it back to the family in gratitude for their “labor of love” their family gave to the church. Sandy Butt, the sister of John Jacobson, now proudly displays that cross on her property, illuminated by a solar light. Looking back Taylor said, looking back now, it intrigues him to see how all of the services were done in Norwegian. It wasn’t until February 19, 1927 that an English service was held once a month - in the evening. It wasn’t until the late 1940s that they regularly held an English service. A celebration of the past and future On Sunday, Aug. 18, 2016, a celebration was held at Samuel Evangelical Lutheran Church to celebrate their 125th Anniversary. Pastor Tom Jolivette who served the congregation from 1980 - 1983 sent a letter. Pastors Marvin Dooley (1966 - 1973) and Pastor Carlton Shaw (1984 - at least 1991) were able to join the celebration in person. “It was neat to have both of these men there,” said Pastor Taylor. Outreach ministries One thing Pastor Taylor and the congregation are most proud of throughout their rich history is their dedication to outreach ministries. Over the course of the years, they have remained strong. “We are full of God’s abundant blessings...our congregation is full of very loving, caring people,” Pastor Taylor said. “The Little Disciples” is a children’s group led by Melanie Olson. “They are a wonderful outreach ministry, especially to the residents of Rotary Senior Living,” said Pastor Taylor. Watch for more about them in the Eagle Grove Eagle’s Christmas edition this year. Samuel Evangelical Lutheran also has a very active women’s group.
They meet on Tuesday mornings to make tie quilts, which are distributed to those in need. Some have gone to the Beacon of Hope in Fort Dodge, others to Opportunity Village, and still others to Eagle Grove area families who are struggling. Potato cakes are also a speciality of these women, and of course, there’s the election soup supper every year as well. Any leftovers from this event they are grateful to be able to donate to the Beacon of Hope men’s shelter. “It’s neat that they have that concern and outreach that God has given them to do this,” said Pastor Taylor of the women’s group. Pastor Taylor also gives thanks for the opportunity to serve as a financial needs coordinator for the Eagle Grove Ministerial Association for the last four years, helping folks in the community in need of help. “It’s been a real experience,” he said. Over the course of the last several years, the number of calls for help has steadily increased. In 2015, there were 97. So far in 2016, however, there have only been 59. He’s hoping that’s a good sign that things are better for people. However, if you are in need of assistance, he encourages to please not hesitate to call. The money to support these families, according to Taylor, comes both from the Ministerial Association congregations as well as community members. The future Average attendance at Samuel Evangelical Lutheran Church is about 40 every Sunday. They may be smaller, but the work they do is powerful. “The congregation is seeking God’s continued plans and purposes for the days to come,” said Pastor Taylor. “It’s a joy to serve the Samuel congregation. They’re a very loving, caring body of Christ. They are community minded...and we look forward to continuing to participate in the established programs we have and the work God has to come.”

The Kirstein kids, children of Kent and Kelly and Dean and Abby Kirstein, are pictured ready to deliver chocolate chip cookies to The Meadows residents as part of Clarion’s Make a Difference Day (MADD) activities late last month. Left to right are: Colin (11), Cale (11), Jacqueline (8), Natalie (14), Alivia (4), Claire (9). According to Grandma Judy, the kids call her to remind her that it is MADD and time to bake. “I think this is our fourth year we’ve done this project,” she said. “At the time, Great Grandpa Bob Bernhardt and Great Grandma Barb Edwards lived at The Meadows. The first three years, they made muffins and distributed them door to door. They offer residents a treat and tell their recipients they are ‘not for sale.’ They have discovered that it is not so much the baked goody as it is the opportunity to offer a smile and say, ‘Happy Make A Difference Day’.” Photo submitted
About 1,000 hours are recorded for the 16 years of celebration
Nearly 500 volunteers ‘make a difference’ in the Clarion area for Make a Difference Day Clarion’s Marys & Marthas (M & Ms) are ready to submit the communities’ efforts for ‘Make A Difference Day’ to the national offices. The actual day was Saturday, October 22 but efforts locally were recorded from Sunday, October 16 through October 22. This year nearly 60 reports were recorded, finding nearly 500 volunteers working about 1,000 hours in the time period. “Once again we are happy with the results as people work together or as individuals to make a difference,” said Karen Weld of the M & Ms. “People make a difference as volunteers all year long but this is just an opportunity to make a special effort. M & Ms do a good job volunteering. Peer Helpers are always helpful. So do individuals, families, organizations, and groups.” The list continues to be a long one: several M & Ms gave a program to both the Meadows and Assisted Living residents recounting who the M & Ms are and what they do; a small band of volunteers made 50 dozen cookies for delivery to 180 county and local law enforcement
people, EMTs and firefighters; on Tuesday and Saturday of the week, a band of adults along with Peer Helpers, raked yards, painted fire hydrants, and cleaned refuse from the local cemetery; another ‘gang’ of four hosted a ‘spa day’ at the local rehab facility, doing hand care and fingernails; still another small group sorted and bagged ten bags of groceries to take out to families to help stretch food budgets. “We always like it when people call in to give us what they have done, “ said Weld. “The local Lutheran church let us know that six volunteers had worked a total of 18 hours sewing quilts to be given away over the holidays. The ‘Knit Wits’ (M & Ms knitting/crocheting group) – 17 of them worked a total of nearly 100 hours, making baby blankets, baby/kid caps to give to others. It was fun to give programs to the residents at the Meadows and assisted living. Then they, in turn, collected and organized ‘goody bags’ to be included in youth Back Packs, as part of the Back Pack program.”
Many years the ClarionGoldfield-Dows elementary school students participate in the Make a Difference Day program with the community. Several classes did. But this year the school students are embarking on the “Leader in Me” program so their involvement was more limited, as they work together to kick off this new program. For a sixteenth year, the M & Ms group organized Make a Difference Day in the Clarion area. Each year the M & Ms submit its information to the national office. In the spring of 2012, the local group was awarded for its efforts with a trip to Washington D.C. and a cash award of $10,000 which was returned to the community and those who volunteered in the fall of 2011.

Eagle Grove Eagle
Eagle Grove soldier earns 2nd IBCT, 34th Infantry Div. patch during ceremony Pfc. Thutam L. Nguyen, of Eagle Grove, Iowa, was part of more than 80 Iowa Army National Guard Soldiers recently recognized during a patching ceremony held at the Camp Dodge Joint Maneuver Training Center in Johnston, Iowa. This ceremony represents a timehonored tradition, where Iowa Citizen-Soldiers officially receive the left-shoulder military patch representing their unit of assignment in the Iowa Army National Guard. It also marks completion of the Iowa National Guard Recruit Sustainment Program, a preparatory training program that provides new recruits the education and skills needed to excel during their Army Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training (military school). These Soldiers represent today’s Iowa Army National Guard, which consists of 7,000 Citizen-Soldiers based in more than 40 communities across the state. Nguyen, a 2016 graduate of Eagle Grove High School, in Eagle Grove, Iowa, now becomes a Mental Health Specialist with Company C, 334th Brigade Support Battalion, in Johnston, Iowa. Nguyen was named to the Commandant’s List during her 19-week Advanced Individual Training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Mental health specialists are primarily responsible for assisting with the management and treatment of inpatient and outpatient mental health activities.
Pfc. Thutam Nguyen
By completing Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training, Nguyen is now eligible for the Iowa National Guard Educational Assistance Grant (NGEAP), a statefunded tuition assistance program for Iowa National Guard members who attend Iowa community colleges and four-year colleges and universities, both public and private. Under this program, Iowa National Guard members will receive tuition payment up to 100 percent of the State Regents’ rate, an amount up to $7,108 per academic year. Nguyen, the daughter of Lily A. Paredes, is also eligible for the Reserve Component GI Bill, which pays a Soldier up to $600 per month while attending college, technical or vocational trade schools. And she’ll also receive monthly drill pay and 15-days of paid duty each year for Annual Training.

Community Thanksgiving Feast this Thursday by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net If you haven’t already done so, make plans to attend the Eagle Grove Community Thanksgiving Feast this Thursday. Everyone is invited, regardless of income. A free-will offering is accepted if you would like to contribute, but not necessary. For coordinator Bert Aukland, it’s about providing a place for people to come together for the holiday. It’s not about whether or not you need the food, it’s about enjoying the company of others. The seventh Annual Community Thanksgiving Meal will be held at Memorial Hall on Thanksgiving day, Thursday, Nov. 24, and they are hoping you will join them, come and go, from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Takeout and delivery are also available, free of charge. Aukland encourages those in need of a delivered meal to please not hesitate to call. She’s
had many people sign up to make deliveries, so now, all they need are people wanting a hot turkey meal with all the fixings delivered right to their door. This whole event is made possible thanks to the many wonderful family and friends who volunteer to help Aukland prepare and serve the meal. If you would like to donate your time, she never turns away an offer. Simply show up in the morning on Nov. 24, or you can stick around after and help clean up. “I have great helpers,” Aukland said. “There are a bunch of nice people in this town and you don’t have to go very far to find them.” To schedule a delivery (one meal per person per household, please), call Aukland at 515-3680766 or 515-825-3322. Please leave a message if no one answers.

Rotary Auxiliary entertains residents of Rotary complex
Members of the Eagle Grove Rotary Auxiliary celebrated November birthdays at both Rotary Homes on Monday, November 14. Those in the North Home observing birthdays were Myra Kelley, Kay Gray, and Mary Thompson, and in the South Home, Jeanette Prehm, and Alvin Anderson. Each celebrant received a beautiful carnation in their honor, as well as being served birthday cake and coffee. The residents were entertained by members of the Eagle Grove High School production, “South Pacific,” directed by Ms. Sandy Muzzey. What a delight to have witnessed the talent of some of our Eagle Grove youth! Serving the refreshments were Marilyn Sampson, Sue Nichols, and Blanche Bosteder in the South Home, with Marsha Kelling, Betty Davis, and Gwen Amonson in the North Home.
Taller than the prairie grass? “Ranger Jeremiah” (as the kids know him) from the Wright County Naturalist Dept. spent some time with the kindergartners and first graders at Eagle Grove Elementary last week talking to them about the Eagle Grove area - long before a town even existed. The kids seemed intrigued to learn that where they stood in the classroom, there once - many, many years ago, stood glaciers and that many of the lakes and ponds of our area were created by those glaciers moving. He also told the kids that animals like moose, wolves, and elk used to roam the land. They were shocked because you don’t see them today. They especially enjoyed when “Ranger Jeremiah” talked to them about the prairies that still exist today (like they did way back when) and the wild grasses and flowers that grew there, and demonstrated just how tall some grew by holding samples up next to them.

LOUISE RUSSELL
Dr. Albert J. (Doc) Kollasch, 75, Belmond
— HISTORY FROM THE HEARTLAND — Towns evolve as Wright County Grows
A
Submitted by mary tesdahl s people moved in to Wright County, towns were also envisioned. Some were paper only towns-never settled; some were platted in hopes the railroad would come through, but did not; some survived when the only transportation was horse and buggy but died when the railroad arrived because there wasn’t a need for as many towns. Towns sprang up to be post offices, but died when Rural Free Delivery was established. Towns like: Luni; Bruce; Olaf; Palsville; Thrall; Ontario; Moscow; Empire and Newell served a purpose for a while but today are only in books of history of Wright County. Only two of the nine towns in Wright County kept their original names. Goldfield was originally called Liberty. One of the stories of the name change is that it was intended to be named Brassfield in honor of Major Minter Brassfield, an early settler, but inhabitants thought the name Goldfield had more class. Belmond was first known as “Crown Point” when it was platted on the west side of the river. When the town was expanded to the east side of the river, the name Dumond was proposed, but Archer Dumond wanted the name to remain Crown Point. The compromise was Belmond – Bel from his daughter’s name Belle and mond from his last name. Clarion began as Grant. When it was decided to put the county seat in the middle of the county where there was no existing town, the name Grant was selected. Each state can only have one town with any given name and there was already a town named Grant in Iowa so a group of ladies searched through a book of US post office names and chose Clarion. Eagle Grove was platted at Eagle Grove Junction, but later shortened to Eagle Grove. Rowan was platted in 1884, but the first post office was at Fryeburg which was established close by. Rowan was name for Robert Rowen, a pioneer settler, but when the name was submitted, the state changed the spelling to Rowan to avoid confusion with an existing town in Iowa named Bowen. Dows was platted in 1880 when the railroad arrived. The first settlement was called Otisville, but when the BCR&N railroad arrived, the name was changed to Dows. Galt was early called Norwich; changed to Galtville in 1882; and finally to Galt in 1888. The only two towns that kept their original names were Woolstock and Holmes.
Albert J. (Doc) Kollasch was born December 17, 1940, and died at the Belmond Health Care Center, November 11, 2016, after a long struggle with Parkinson’s disease. Born in Bancroft, Iowa, to Albert (Bert) Kollasch and Sylvia (Nurre) Kollasch, he was the second of eight children. After completing high school at St. John’s, Bancroft, and two years of college at St. Mary’s, Winona, Minn., he joined the Jesuit order for 10 years, including seven years of training and three years teaching Philosophy at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb.

Yard and Garden: Selecting and caring for Christmas trees By Richard Jauron and Greg Wallace The holiday season is almost here, and with it comes Christmas tree season. Having a fresh-cut Christmas tree is a popular tradition, but it can come with some issues regarding proper selection and care. Matching the right tree to the right home environment is crucial. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help answer questions about Christmas trees and how to handle them this holiday season. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108, or hortline@iastate.edu. What decisions should be made before purchasing a Christmas tree for the holidays?
A few decisions should be made before going out to purchase a Christmas tree. Decide where you are going to place the tree in the home. Be sure to choose a location away from heat sources, such as a fireplace or radiator. Also, decide on the size (height and width) of the tree that you want. Finally, decide where you are going to purchase the tree. Christmas trees may be purchased from cut-your-own tree farms or as cut trees in commercial lots. A list of tree farms in your area can be found at the Iowa Christmas Tree Growers Association website. What types of trees are available? Tree species commonly available at tree farms and commercial lots in Iowa include Scotch pine, white
pine, red pine, Fraser fir, balsam fir, Canaan fir, Douglas fir, white spruce and Colorado spruce. How can I determine the freshness of a cut Christmas tree? Freshness can be determined with a few simple tests. Gently run your hand over a branch. The needles on a fresh tree will be pliable. Those on a dry tree will be brittle. Another test is to lift the tree by the trunk and lightly bounce the butt on the ground. Heavy needle drop indicates a dry tree. A fresh tree will drop only a few needles. What is the best way to store a cut Christmas tree? If you don’t intend to set up the Christmas tree immediately, place the tree in a cool, sheltered location. An unheated garage or shed is often
a suitable storage site. (The sun and wind dries out trees stored outdoors.) Put the butt of the tree in a bucket of water. Remove an inch or more from the bottom of the trunk before bringing the tree in the house. A fresh cut facilitates water uptake. Should I add any material to the water to prolong the freshness of my Christmas tree? Do not add molasses, sugar, soft drinks, aspirin or commercial products to the water. Additives provide no real benefit. The keys to keeping a Christmas tree fresh are to place the tree away from any heat source (fireplace, heater, radiator, etc.) and keep the tree reservoir full of water. Check the tree reservoir at least once or twice a day. Fresh trees absorb large quantities of
water (especially in the first few days). If the water level drops below the bottom of the trunk, water uptake will be drastically reduced when the reservoir is refilled. As a consequence, the tree will dry out more quickly because of poor water uptake. How long can a cut Christmas tree remain in the house? The length of time a cut Christmas tree can remain in the home is determined by the tree species, the freshness of the tree at purchase, and its placement and care in the home. In general, a fresh, well-cared-for Christmas tree should be able to remain in the home for three to four weeks. Remove the tree from the house when its needles become dry and brittle.

Eagle Grove Elementary Annual
Photos by Kim Demory
by Kim demory egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net Eagle Grove Elementary students in third and fourth grade have long looked forward to Thanksgiving...not just because they get a few extra days off from school, but because they get to enjoy their very own Thanksgiving Feast. They even help prepare it. Each student is asked to bring two apples and two potatoes to school. Parents are asked to volunteer their time to help peel them, or come in and help prepare
the food the day of the feast. Those who do are then invited to enjoy the Thanksgiving Feast with their child the Friday before Thanksgiving. The students also get to learn about making homemade dinner rolls. For many, it’s their first time kneading dough which brings out a lot of giggles and grins...and a lot of flour mess. This has been the tradition for well over 30 years, starting back when the third and fourth graders attended Lincoln Elementary. But this year, tradition changed just a
bit; the second graders were invited to join in the festivities. Why, you might wonder? Because third and fourth grade classrooms are located on the second floor of Eagle Grove Elementary - and so are the second graders. They got to see the excitement of the students going in and out of the multi-purpose room to prepare the meal, and even more tempting, smell the food cooking all day on Friday since the new school was built. That’s why they decided to invite them to be part of the fun this year, and the second
graders loved every minute of it although they didn’t peel potatoes since that’s a little bit more of a tricky job. Since it’s beginning, Security Savings Bank has been graciously donating all of the turkeys need to feed everyone for the feast. This year, 15 turkeys were prepared. In addition to the feast, the second, third, and fourth grade teachers use this opportunity to teach the students about why we celebrate Thanksgiving in the first place.
Reece Demuth got a hands-on lesson on how to peel potatoes from his mom, Lori, thanks to her volunteering to help with the prep work on Thursday, Nov. 17.
This is what your face looks like when you drop a potato while you’re peeling it - Bella De La Torre (center) was the only one to drop hers.
Sam Slife was infatuated with how long the peel of an apple is when you use an apple peeler.
Avery Wepel-Sisson peeled apples with ease.
Barb Jones taught the second graders how to make homemade dinner rolls. The kids liked seeing how the yeast bubbled up when dissolved in water.
It was hard to tell what the kids enjoyed more - kneading the bread or putting the flour on their hands.
Dot Watson helped her second graders, Gavin Pedersen, Nataly Mendoza, and Holly Anderson, knead the dough. The kids loved getting their hands into the flour and working the dough. Amy Willard enjoyed volunteering to help students peel apples for the Thanksgiving Feast last week. Hayden Schafer enjoyed being able to get out of class to peel apples.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, in cooperation with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, will offer manure applicator certification workshops for dry/solid manure operators on six different dates and locations in February. These workshops meet manure applicator certification requirements for both confinement site manure applicators and commercial manure applicators who primarily apply dry or solid manure. “The information in this workshop will benefit not only those needing certification, but anyone using dry or solid sources of manure as a nutrient resource,” says Dan Andersen, assistant professor in agriculture and biosystems engineering at Iowa State University and coordinator of the manure applicator certification program The workshops are free to attend and open to all. Applicators will be required to submit certification forms and fees to the Iowa DNR to meet manure applicator certification requirements. Please register for one of the workshops by calling the number listed with the selected site. All workshops begin at 1 p.m. Feb. 7, Washington County, ISU Extension and Outreach office, Washington. Call 319-653-4811 to register. Feb. 8, Wright County, Heartland Museum, Clarion. Call 515-5323453 to register. Feb. 15, Hamilton County, Kamrar Lions Community Building, Kamrar. Call 515-832-9597 to register. Feb. 16, Sioux County, ISU Extension and Outreach office, Orange City. Call 712-737-4230 to register. Feb. 21, Adair County, Warren Cultural Center, Greenfield. Call 641-743-8412 to register. Feb. 22, Buena Vista County, ISU Extension and Outreach office, Storm Lake. Call 712-732-5056 to register.
Commercial manure applicators may attend annual training to meet commercial manure applicator certification requirements on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2017. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources will conduct Commercial Manure Applicator training from 9 a.m. to noon at 75 locations in Iowa, one location in Wisconsin, and one location in Minnesota. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. There is no fee for the workshop, but applicators must register by Dec. 28 with the ISU Extension and Outreach county office where they plan to attend. See a complete list of workshop locations at http:// www.agronext.iastate.edu/immag/ certification/macprogrampostcard. pdf. Commercial manure applicators needing to recertify and those wanting to certify for the first time should attend. All currently certified commercial manure applicator licenses will expire on March 1, 2017. Those wanting to renew must complete training requirements and submit forms and fees to the DNR prior to March 1 to avoid paying late fees. The law requires all commercial manure applicators to attend three hours of training annually to meet certification requirements. Businesses that primarily truck or haul manure of any type or from any source are also required to meet certification requirements. Those unable to attend the program on Jan. 5 need to schedule time with their ISU Extension and Outreach county office to watch the training
DVD. Due to scheduling conflicts, many extension offices will no longer accept walk-in appointments to watch these DVDs, but do offer scheduled dates and times to provide this training. For those unable to attend training during one of the scheduled reshow dates, a $10 fee will be charged to view the training at their convenience. If attending the workshops or watching the three-hour DVD is not convenient, commercial applicators may contact their local DNR field office to schedule an appointment to take the certification exam. Another option for commercial manure applicators is to take their training online at DNR MAC eLearning site at https:// elearning-dnr.iowa.gov/. In addition to the commercial manure applicator training offered on Jan. 5, ISU Extension and Outreach will also offer six dry/solid manure workshops for commercial manure applicators in February 2017. Information regarding these workshops and locations is also contained in the link to the brochure listed above. Program requirements are the same as the regular commercial training program, but this training program is geared more toward dry/solid manure issues. For more information about the commercial manure applicator certification program, contact an ISU Extension and Outreach county office or visit the Iowa Manure Management Action Group website at http://www.agronext.iastate.edu/ immag/mac.html.

Prestage Foods of Iowa to hold subcontractor and vendor outreach fair for new Wright County facility Prestage Foods of Iowa, LLC announced that it would be holding a subcontractor and vendor outreach fair. Prestage Foods of Iowa in conjunction with Epstein Global will hold the subcontractor and vendor outreach fair on Tuesday, December 13, at the Iowa Central Community College Bioscience and Health Science Building. Potential subcontractors and vendors wishing to bid for construction elements, supply systems, materials, or services for the new project will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from Epstein and Prestage as well as be provided with pre-qualification and project information. Prestage Foods’ investment in Iowa includes the desire to involve as many Iowa contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and service providers as possible. “This is an opportunity for local Iowa companies to get information about certifications, insurance, and other things that will be required in order to submit proposals for this project,” says Jere Null, Chief Operating Officer of Prestage Foods
of Iowa. All interested subcontractors are invited to visit the public project website: www.prestagefoodsofiowa. com. This website is designed to serve as a communications hub for current and potential subcontractors, vendors, craftsmen, and project team members seeking up-to-date information related to the Prestage Foods of Iowa in Wright County project. The website also includes a Prequalification Checklist, as well as an Alternative Subcontractor Form that can be completed and submitted online. Once submitted, the information will be stored in a database for the project. All subcontractors will be required to provide a Prequalification Form prior to receiving an invitation to Bid. Prestage Foods has also worked with Iowa Central Community College (ICCC) in advance of the fair and requested that ICCC act as a resource for training and certification programs that local contractors may need in order to prequalify as a vendor. Information
on available certification programs will be available at the event and can also be accessed via the project website. Prestage Foods of Iowa’s oneshift plant will employ as many as 1,000 Iowans within the first year of operations. The project represents a capital investment in excess of $250 million. The new facility has an estimated size of 600,000 SF and will be state-of-the-art, utilizing the newest technologies available. The project will break ground in spring 2017 and is scheduled for completion in Fall 2018. “We hope this fair will provide a communication venue for interested local subcontractors and vendors toget the information they need to be able to participate in the bidding process so that as many local contractors as possible can ultimately -participate in the building of this state-of-the-art facility,” says John Prestage, Sr. Vice President of Prestage Farms, Inc.
