• What’s up Stuart, Iowa?

  The Good Egg Gazette is my online forum for the folks of Stuart, Iowa. Here you can respond to comments about the issues Stuart is facing (i.e. the West Central Valley new school debate, the Stuart City Council, new developments in town and near I-80, Hawkeyes vs. Cyclones, etc.) or anything else that's on your mind. Please be respectful, but say what's on your mind! And don't forget...it's still ok to post anonymously.

Both WCV teams have started the postseason with victories.

The girls won their first round regional game against Nodaway Valley in Greenfield 55-46 on Saturday behind Maggie Marnin’s 34 points and 11 rebounds. She now has 455 points this season, 10th best in the state, to go with her 313 rebounds, good for 5th best. The Lady Cats travel to Audubon tonight to face the Wheelers who beat Guthrie Center 56-47.

The boys stayed home and defeated Red Oak in the first round of districts last night in Menlo 66-40. Greg Dudley led the team with 14 points and 6 rebounds. Mason Hasty was right behind with 13 and 6. The boys’ next game will be in Menlo on Thursday against Guthrie Center who advanced with a 64-58 overtime win versus Griswold. The Cats are 0-2 this season against GC, losing the first game on a last second three-pointer and losing the second after going scoreless for most of the 4th quarter.

Dear Friends,

It’s hard to believe that the holidays are fast approaching but there are signs of the season everywhere we turn these days.  Those of us working for Sarah’s Holiday Caring Program are busy as we plan our seventeenth year of caring!

Over the past sixteen years we have helped numerous families in our West Central Valley area to have a brighter holiday thanks to your generous support of the program.  We are asking that you donate whatever you can to make this seventeenth year our biggest year to date.  We appreciate your continued support of this very important four-community wide event.

Please consider a donation again this season.  Your contribution may be delivered or mailed (by Friday, December 11th) directly to:  “Sarah’s Holiday Caring” c/o First State Bank, 215 North Division St. PO Box 400 Stuart, IA  50250.  Attention: Sarah’s Holiday Caring.

Thank you in advance for your support and happy holidays to you and yours!

Sincerely,
Lisa Sherman, a member of 2009 Sarah’s Holiday Caring Committee

This year I’m thankful for:

• -The best family and friends that anyone could ever ask for
• -Everyone who comes to see me at Ruby’s and supports a local business
• -The best readers who continue to visit the Good Egg Gazette even though my writing hasn’t warranted it lately
• -Those who do visit that don’t spew venom and try to create controversy where none exists
• -Living in a town that isn’t afraid to look to the future and embrace the changes and opportunities that come with it

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thank you for your continued support!

Seriously, where did all these lady bugs…err…Asian Lady Beetles come from? Supposedly these are good bugs. They don’t cause any damage other than being very annoying.

And making my windshield look like a battle scene in Lord of the Rings.

They smell and taste bad though. My cats have even figured this out.

I can’t even walk out my back door right now or 500 of these things will come in the house. It almost makes me yearn for the boxelder bug days.

Please join my Race for the Cure team by registering online at http://www.komendesmoines.org/aspx/RaceRegistration.aspx and clicking the pink “Join Team” icon.

Happy birthday today to…

…and me. After months and months of anguish, I finally turned 30 today. But please don’t send gifts. Instead, I’m asking everyone to make a donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation here. Or better yet, join my team and do the run/walk with us on October 24th.

- WCV and the state’s leading rusher Travis Wahlert travel to Ogden tonight to face the Bulldogs in both teams’ district opener. The Cats are looking for their first 3-0 start since the first Bush was president. If you can’t make it to the game you can listen on 107.9 where Tom will be doing his best to make me sound good.

- Iowa or Iowa State? I don’t know about the football teams, but ISU has better looking cheerleaders!

- The Syngest Bioammonia plant is one step closer to becoming reality. Anyone have rooms for rent?

- A recent visitor had some interesting thoughts about the new library/city hall.

Brian Calek acoustic show at Ruby’s tonight…Karaoke tomorrow. Stop in and say hi.
