• 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.

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!

Come watch the Hawks in High-Def on the big screens at Ruby’s this Saturday. Game time is 2:30.

$2 domestics

$2 wells

$1 hot dogs

$1 shots every time Iowa scores

Beer pong at halftime!

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…

- 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.

- College football season is finally here! The Iowa State Cyclones survived against a tough Division I-AA opponent in North Dakota State last night. The Iowa Hawks start their season against Northern Iowa tomorrow at 11:05 am in Iowa City.

- A scary trend is growing in our area. Numerous reports of abduction attempts are being made to local police. Please tell your kids to be careful!

- The season championship at Stuart Speedway is this Sunday, September 6. The after-party is, as always, at Ruby’s with live music from Dusty Baird.

Have a good Labor Day weekend. I’ll be enjoying a bacon explosion or two.

- I love the smell of oil and pea gravel in the morning! But at least the roads will be good. My road anyway.

- Did anybody have a chance to see Sen. Grassley on Wednesday? I didn’t make it. Did he talk about “pulling the plug on Grandma” in Panora?

- School starts next week. Parents are celebrating and kids are bummed. At least that hasn’t changed since I was there.

- Lots of stuff on the agenda for Monday’s City Council meeting. Maybe you should go??

Come check out MoneyShot at Ruby’s tonight. They’re one of the bands playing the street dance on August 29th.
