Join Team Renfrow and the Grinnell Historical Museum for a Cemetery Walk at Hazelwood Cemetery on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 1 – 4 p.m.
The theme of this year’s cemetery walk is “African American Stories in Early Grinnell.” The stories that will be shared are of Edward Delaney, George and Eva Craig, Eva Pearl, and Mumford Holland. It will take visitors appropriately 50-minutes to hear all five stories. Team Renfrow is made up of Professor Tamara Beauboeuf, Monique Shore, and Grinnell College students, Hemlock Stanier, Libby Eggert, and Evie Caperton. Parking at the cemetery is limited, so a shuttle from the Joe Rosenfield '25 Center (on the Grinnell College campus) to Hazelwood Cemetery will run from 12:30 - 4:30 p.m. The rain date is Sept. 24, 1 – 4 p.m.

The BGM Elementary School PIE (Partners in Education) is raising funds to resurface the 11,500 square-foot playground area with ForeverGreen turf. The playground currently has a blue chip surface, making it difficult for students with mobility concerns or in a wheelchair non-accessible. BGM Elementary Principal Mary Sherwood said the border of the playground is also deteriorating and needing to be replaced, especially for safety concerns. The estimated cost of the new turf project is $231,151. This estimate includes the installation of perimeter boards, six-inches or rock base and the installation of a padding system. Sherwood said the “big” goal is to secure all funding and complete the project in the summer of 2024. “If needed, we can split the project into phases and resurface partial areas of the playground as funding is secured in the future,” said Sherwood. “However, because of prices increasing over time, we are really hopeful to fully resurface the entire blue chip area at once.” The amount needed does not have any donations and/or donated labor. PIE already has a few grants, donations and in-kind labor costs that will reduce the amount needed for the project. A Smash Park family-friendly event was held at the playground on Friday, Aug. 25, raising $967.50 toward the project. There were games and fun activities throughout the evening. The Brooklyn Ruritans provided a meal of hot dogs, chips and a drink for the event, all for a freewill donation. “We are so thankful for the Ruritans and their help and contribution,” noted Sherwood. “It was such a fun family celebration for the start of our school year.” Sherwood said the project is more than making the playground look nicer, It really is to give all students accessibility to our playground equipment. “Students in wheelchairs are limited to where they can go on our playground and that is not acceptable to us,” Sherwood said. “This surface will allow for a cleaner, safer and ADA compliant surface for all of our students.” If you have any questions, contact Mary Sherwood or Katy Calkins at BGM Elementary School at 641-522-9268. To send a donation, make checks payable to: Brooklyn Community Foundation, P.O. Box 66, attn: BGM PIE Playground Project. The Build a Better Grinnell 2030 Visioning Project (BABG) has wrapped up its Phase 2 community needs prioritization survey, which asked people who live, work or depend on resources in Grinnell to rank their top seven priorities from a list of 46. The project is now transitioning to Phase 3, which will focus on developing a deeper understanding of these top seven issues. This involves exploring the prioritized issues in more detail and asking the community to begin identifying possible solutions. The following, and final stage of the project will organize planning groups around each prioritized issue to develop specific action plans taking into account the research findings. The project invites everyone to learn more about the results and priorities from the most recent survey, and is seeking continued participation in the next stage.
Top Issues Improve Quality of Drinking Water More Variety of Restaurants Improve K-12 Buildings and Infrastructure Improve or Expand Mental Health Care Services Improve Roads & Road Maintenance Reduce Racism Higher Wages, or Lower Prices The Survey Data The first BABG survey asked a series of open-ended questions about Grinnell's strengths and needs. This led to the list of 46 issues that appeared on the most recent survey. Individuals were then asked to rank their top seven issues, as well as provide demographic information covering income, race & ethnicity, living situation, commuter status, gender identity, household size, and age. In total, 1270 people took the recent prioritization survey. The top seven needs identified appear below. While only these top issues will move forward into the next research phase, all the data from the project are publicly available for viewing and use on the website. Project update sessions Come learn about the survey data, how the top seven priorities were picked, and get involved in future listening sessions and focus groups at one of the following gathers in the Caulkins Community Room at Drake Community Library Thursday, Sept 21 – 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 28 – 12 – 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 7 - 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided 2023 Poweshiek County Fair Dog Show results
