Last Sunday only a few blocks from my home nearly one thousand family and friends packed the Carroll High School Gym to bid a safe journey to the soldiers of the Carroll's National Guard unit. As I went about my Sunday life there were hugs and tears only blocks away. On Tuesday as I enjoyed the benefits of membership of the Carroll Country Club these soldiers continued their training at Camp Shelby for their upcoming deployment to Afghanistan. I thank them for their service, pray for their safety and look forward to their return.
At a lunch meeting on Tuesday at the Carrollton Inn to celebrate Carroll Area Development Corporation's 25th Anniversary I sat in my chair and listened to charter members 
of the organization explain what they did to cement the path of success for this City we call home! To me economic development can be an engine that moves at a very slow speed but it is with each turn of the wheel that progress is achieved and a city is developed. In an upcoming article in the Carroll Daily Times Herald Doug Burns will highlight the past 25 years of CADC. I urge you to take a moment to read the article, think about what has happened around here the past 25 years and be glad that it has! Carroll It's All Here!

Carroll It's All Here!It was another muggy night on the fairways and greens of the Carroll Country Club as Your Bud Light team walked up on the 15th tee to do battle with the boys of Linde Equipment. It was the Ron Juergens show as he shot a 39 to beat Captain Mike Franey 4 to 1. Juergens played well all night and was awarded the low net honors. Bud Three Steve "Hans" Auen made a big number on the CCC's signature 14th hole to lose by one to Bill Linde on the last hole. Long time subscriber, top local amateur, highly successful and more veteran golfer Craig Mertz played 20 time city champion Mike "Jewels" Eckerman to a tie. The big winner of the night was 2008 Bud Light Golfer of the Year Mike Schulz who beat Bob Linde 13 to 5. Linde Equipment was awarded the low net team. With the tie your Bud Light team remains in 3rd 30 points out of the lead.

Head casket Kyle Atkinson nailed the longest putt.

Just Saying...........
In a world where we are always seeing and hearing about all of the things that are negative or not right I choose to focus on the things that are right. One of the biggest rights that I see in this world is the privilege that I have to be a member of the Carroll Country Club. On Friday around 250 people looked forward to playing in Carroll Broadcasting's Par Tee 13 only to awake to cloudy skies and rain showers. We all wondered if we would get the tourney in or if unlucky 13 would be a wash out! With all the hard work of Jim Von Ahn, Nick Schon, Ray Wampler and Jason Scranton along with their staffs the Par Tee 13 was a big success! Thanks for all of your hard work! Now that is something to be proud of!
Have a great week!
Fairways and greens to all! As always this Bud's for you and ON IOWA!
Mike Franey
