Members of the Oelwein Police Department and the Oelwein Wrestling Club continue their efforts to help clean up and beautify the community.

"The intent of both of our groups is to show how if anyone spends a little time here and a little time there, a lot can be accomplished to help others and to help your community" advised Chief Jeremy Logan. "This initiative, "One", shows that One Action - One Effort - One Gesture - One Community - One Team - One Person can make a difference."

We felt that helping revitalize this great fixture was important as it is a centerpiece of our sports complex and also symbolic of our respect for our veteran’s.” stated Oelwein Wrestling Club President Greg Parmely.

 

              “Our staff is dedicated, on-duty and off, to helping clean up our community and maintaining our facilities. Hundreds of vehicles pass the Veteran’s Sports Complex every day and they get to witness the great recreational facilities that our community has to offer” explained Chief Jeremy Logan. “We just wanted to ensure that we help our community put its best foot forward.”
