Facility will showcase rich history of earthmoving


The new Earthmoving Legacy Center, a 38,000-square-foot facility that will showcase the rich history of earthmoving, is slated to open in Elkader on Sept. 17. Located at 24412 Highway 13, the facility came about as a way for John Moyna, the third-generation owner of the road construction company C.J. Moyna & Sons, to share his large collection.

Approximately 50 early pieces will be displayed at the Earthmoving Legacy Center. The collection spans from the 1880s and horse-drawn earthmoving equipment to the 1940s era, focusing primarily on the evolution of the Caterpillar Company.

“Right now, we’re trying to get everything in and in the right spot,” said Ryan Young, a C.J. Moyna and Sons employee who's helped develop the facility. Along with the machinery, which will be housed in the building’s lower level, the Earthmoving Legacy Center will feature additional items upstairs, including toys, watch fobs, technology displays and a theater.

Even the ceiling—a mural of a job site—will impress visitors.

Some other facilities around the country, such as agriculture museums, feature similar machinery. “But there’s nothing this complete, or focused to this level,” Young said.

Visitors will note Caterpillar's transition from the "gray line" to "highway yellow" in 1932.

New ambulance for Mar-Mac Rescue Squad


The Mar-Mac Rescue Squad has a new ambulance—its first vehicle upgrade since 2010. The 2020 Ford F450 ambulance cost over $190,000, and is the rescue squad’s first four-wheel-drive model. (Submitted photo)

The piece of equipment the EMS crew is most excited about is the ambulance’s Stryker Power Load System that can raise and lower a cot, making it easier to load and unload patients with limited volunteers available. Here, EMT Dylan Rumph demonstrates how the system works. (Photo by Audrey Posten)

The back of the new rig is set up similarly to the old, a helpful feature for EMTs working in critical situations. (Submitted photo)

“Everything is touch screen now. Even the cab has a touch screen up there,” said EMT Samantha Rumph. “We can press a button back here and alarm them if we need to move faster.” This photo shows the touch screen in the ambulance cab. (Photo by Audrey Posten)

MFL MarMac runs past New Hampton in interesting season opener


Running back Cullen McShane totaled 214 of MFL MarMac’s 405 rushing yards in the win over New Hampton. The senior carried the ball 18 times and scored three times on the ground. He also caught two passes and had a receiving touchdown. (Photos by Audrey Posten)

Defensive lineman Tristen Koehn (right) led the Bulldogs in tackles, with eight total, and recovered a fumble.

Sophomore quarterback Carver Blietz-Bentien was a factor in the MFL MarMac ground game, rushing for 34 yards and a touchdown on six carries. He threw the ball just five times, but completed three passes for 100 yards and a TD.

MFL MarMac’s strong offensive line, including Corbin McElwaine (62, left) and Hunter Meyer (53, right), kept quarterback Carver Blietz-Bentien protected and paved the way for 405 Bulldog rushing yards in the 42-14 win over New Hampton.
