I graduated from WSR in 1998. After returning from ISU, where I earned my BA in Ag Business, I married my wife (also an AG- WSR Grad). We live in Wells- burg and have two sons in the AGWSR school district. I am active in our local youth sports of Nathan Vogel’s term.

This is tech- nically my first time running for school board. There was a need for a member from the Wellsburg community to fill the remainder of Nathan Vogel’s term when he moved to Ack- ley last year. Having served as a Trustee for our church, I was interested in the financial aspect of a school district. I consider myself to be financially respon- sible and an informed decision maker so I felt, and continue to feel, that I will be an asset to the school district. Are there specific issues you’d like to address as a school board member? I would like to see AGWSR maintain rigor in our classrooms while being financially responsible. I would also like to see our dis- trict explore more options when it comes to “workforce ready” courses at the high school level.

Chris Sailer Professional background/ how long you’ve lived in the district: I grew up in Ackley. I graduated from A-G in 1995. I went on to Ellsworth and then ISU. After ISU I worked at Garst/Syngenta in Slater for 11 years. I came back to Ackley in 2010 and run the family farm. Achievements you’re proudest of on school board: It was a rewarding experience to be a member of the board through our last superintendent hiring. We had a vacancy at a bad time of the year. The board was able to come together and get a plan in place. In a very short amount of time we were able to come up with some great candidates and interview them. We ended up hiring a tremendous superinten- dent. Are there specific issues you’d like to address as a school board member? I would like to look into the possibility of bringing back in- dustrial arts classes. I feel some students could really benefit from the skills learned during these classes. Skills that could lead to lifelong careers. www.thegrundyregister.com Grundy NEWS Register Thursday, October 25, 2019 3 BCLUW board discusses Audit Grundy Register Bulletin Board From page 1 that we can do better, and they enrollment numbers, policy changes the city had made no transfers found a couple.

10 Years Ago This Week - 2009 As a 91-year-old World War II veteran who served from Africa to Germany, George Werkman has seen his fair share of things. But as the 737 carrying him and 149 other WW1I vets began its descent towards Dulles International Airport early in the morning of Tues- day, Oct. 13, Werkman prepared to see something he had yet to ex- perience: Washington D.C. “It was a tremendous, big city,” Werk- man recalled. “Our tour guide called it ‘The City of Memorials and Monuments.’” Werkman was recently one of 500 vets chosen by the Central Iowa Honor Flight organization to receive a free one- day trip to our nation’s capitol from the Des Moines International Airport. During the visit, veterans were treated to a bus tour of the city’s various war memorials, with the biggest stop reserved for the newest addition to the National Mall, the World War II Memorial. Werkman, who drove a halftrack and hauled a 57 mm anti-tank gun as part of the 1st Armored Division’s campaign from the Anzio beach head in Africa to the outskirts of Berlin, was nominated for the flight by his great-niece, Deb Werkman, who lives in Grundy Center. While George was not originally chosen to participate in the first flight out of Des Moines that day, event sponsor Casey’s stepped forward and provided a second plane, to increase the total number of veteran attendees to 500. George got his letter announc- ing his flight on Monday, Oct. 5, and had a week to prepare before reporting to Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino in Des Moines.

Celebrating local producers Meyers family new to hog farming By Michaela Kendall The Grundy Register GRUNDY CENTER - With October being National Pork Month, it’s the perfect time to celebrate and thank local pork producers and to share their sto- ries with the community. One of those stories is the Meyers family of Grundy Cen- ter, who have been running their own hog site for one year now. Heath and Jenny Meyers have always been crop farm- ers, but last fall, they decided to branch out and step into the world of pork producing. “With all of the changes in the farm economy over the last few years, we decided we need- ed to diversify,” Jenny said. “We put up our two buildings last fall and jumped right in.
