Celebrating 50 Years of Marriage
This week would have marked your 70th birthday, and I am certain the celebration would have been above the rest. Instead, we are still coming to grips with your unexpected departure from this earth.

North Iowans Who Make A Difference
GIVE FACTS: Put yourself in the buyer’s place. What would you want to know? List the item’s age, condition, size, brand-name, model and approximate value. If you’re selling a car, state the type of transmission, mileage, if it has low miles and special equipment.
NOMINATE A North Iowan you know who is under 40 years of age and who is making a significant contribution in their community to be featured in the “20 Under 40: North Iowans Who Make a Difference.”
DON’T EXAGGERATE: It’s risky business to exaggerate and it won’t increase your chances of success. Misleading information may get a buyer to your house, but it won’t sell the item and probably do just the opposite.
Nominations should be sent to “20 Under 40,” Box 271, Mason City, Iowa 50402 or by e-mail to news@globegazette.com. Be sure to include the nominee’s name, city, phone number and why nominated, highlighting their leadership and community activities. Also, include your name, city and phone number.
AVOID ABBREVIATIONS: While a few abbreviations are well known and save space, too many together can cause confusion. A confused reader will not take the time to figure it out.
Deadline for nominations is Friday, September 21, 2010
