NIB looks to City for support North Iowa Betterment is asking the City of Buffalo Center for help, as the organization strives to make Buffalo Center and the surrounding communities a better place to live. Jamie Thomsen, Jerry Wiedemeier and Cory Myer of NIB updated the B.C. City Council on the various activities and projects NIB is responsible for during the August 14 Council meeting, and they asked if the Council would be willing to make a financial contribution to the organization. While most of NIB’s activities are self-sufficient when it comes to fundraising, the organization also needs money to pay for wages for the director. “It’s kind of a strange thing for a person to have to do fundraising for their wages,� said Wiedemeier. The representatives suggested the City could hire NIB to take over its parks and recreation service. Thomsen noted that NIB strives to offer activities and programs for people of all ages, and some things they hope to add include English as a Second Language classes and classes for seniors on using email and computers. “We want to target everyone within our community and find something that can benefit everyone and help the quality of life in Buffalo Center,� said Thomsen. “What is going on right now is really just the tip of the iceberg,� said Myer. “I really think there’s a lot of room for growth and expansion.� Councilman Silber said that while he supports what NIB is doing, City finances are tight. Myer suggested getting budgets from other communities to compare how they spend on different projects to what Buffalo Center is spending. “I don’t think that the priority list is dictated by what we want; it’s by what we have to do and where the

fire is currently,� said Silber. He cited current and upcoming expenses, including the water and sewer systems, streets and the Heritage Town Center. “I think we all support the idea,� said West. “We’d give you $20,000 if we had it. We appreciate your work.� Teresa Nicholson of Winn-Worth Betco also addressed the Council in support of North Iowa Betterment. “I completely understand your position. Because you don’t have an industrial base in this community, you have a lower tax income to your city, and it does make things a lot more difficult,� said Nicholson. Nicholson noted that there is no property currently available for industrial use in Buffalo Center, and she suggested that NIB could help in that matter by taking options on land. She also encouraged the City to look into new housing development to improve the property tax base. Mayor Armstrong said the Council would consider its options for making a contribution to NIB, and the topic will be put on the agenda for next month’s Council meeting. In other business, Cory Myer also addressed the Council in his role as North Iowa Superintendent; asking for permission to install angled parking along the new addition on the east side of the school. He said the limited number of parking spaces at the school is a challenge, especially during ball games and other activities at the school. The angled parking would only be along the west side of 1st St. NW. There is currently parallel parking on both sides of the road. Myer says that when construction is complete, the angled parking would actually take up less of the road than the current parallel parking, but it would still extend five feet into the current road. The Council granted permission to install the angled parking with four votes in favor. Silber abstained, explaining that while he likes the idea, he would have preferred to get some measurements before voting. Buffalo Center Police Chief Matt Holmquist addressed the Council continued on page 10

Christian Women’s Club to meet at First Reformed

Thompson Class of ’73 reunites at Branding Iron Members of the Thompson High School class of 1973 spent July 20 in Thompson at The Branding Iron restaurant to renew old friendships and create new memories with their classmates since their graduation day 40 years ago. That morning, a special tour of the Thompson school building, arranged by the THS Class of 63, welcomed former students to see their old classrooms and was led by current North Iowa Community School superintendent Cory Myer. They spent time walking through the ‘big’ gym, seeing the upper elementary classrooms, band room, industrial arts rooms and hallways that still had trophies in the showcases and class photos on the walls. The former high school building was

permanently blocked off due to environmental issues, so they were unable to enter a small portion of the old school. A majority of the Class of ’73 classmates and guests were able to attend a planned afternoon gathering, social hour and meal on Saturday, July 20. An informal gathering was held at the home of Deb (Smith) Wirth in Buffalo Center, just prior to the scheduled activities at 5 p.m. in Thompson. The evening social hour and meal were well-attended, as well as the open invitation for friends, family and former teachers to stop in to visit and get reacquainted. Visitors included former teachers Mike Tweed, Tedd Gassman and Maureen and Dennis Van Gorkum. Friends and family who were also at the res-

TMNH %\ &DPPL $QGHUVRQ $FWLYLW\ 'LUHFWRU It’s hard to believe the kids are back in school, dance lessons are staring up again and summer went by way too fast. Saturday, we watched the movie Christy and popped some popcorn. Sunday, Brad DeVries from The First Congregational Church in Buffalo Center came and led our worship services. Thank you, Brad. For the Sunday night movie, we watched and listened to Danielle O’Donnell, Songs of Faith. To start our Monday off, we had a few residents from our Garden Club shucking corn for dinner today. For our Monday morning program, we played cribbage. During our morning sensory teasers, we took a tour to Fall Creek Park in Tennessee. At bingo today, we had 19 residents and gave out 16 prizes. Tuesday, we exercised to Danielle O’Donnell. For the morning program, we prepared garden green beans while we had our Lets Talk program. Afterwards, we played The Price Is Right on our Wii. During both sensory groups, we listened to Spirit Wood while giving hand and back massages. Today, we had our baking class, and we made

little smokies in a blanket. The game of the day was ring toss. Wednesday, we exercised to Tony Bennett. Windy Creek was here today, to help celebrate our August birthdays; we made root beer floats for our birthday treat. In sensory teasers, we played balloon toss. During our afternoon and evening programs, we had trivia, made snow cones, played basketball and read the Buffalo Center Tribune. Thursday, we listened to The Very Best of Loretta and Conway during our sit & get fit class. This week, we had our bowling tournament on Thursday. The winner of our first game was Mary Mathews, with a score of 144. Dorothy Gruis was the winner of our second game; her score was 171. During both sensory groups, we played Mind Joggers. For the evening programs, they had a crossword puzzle, and Monica painted nails. It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on Earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, that we will begin to live each day to the fullest as if it were the only one we had. Have a wonderful week.

A few members from the THS Class of 1963, who were also holding their reunion that evening, stopped in to greet attendees. A prize for the person living the closest was awarded to Jeff Robinson of Thompson and provided by classmate and former foreign exchange student Antti Virtanen. Ironically, the prize for the person living farthest away was given to Virtanen by Robinson, as he came from Finland to spend time with his old friends. A surprise birthday cake, provided by Beth (Boyer) Boelman, helped celebrate the weekend birthdays of Cheryl (Van Hove) Herrick and Diane (Gossman) Penning that evening and also provided a tasty dessert following the meal at the restaurant.

The following day, Sunday, July 21, classmates and friends gathered on the lawn of Gary Shropshire,of Shropshire Lumber in Thompson, to watch the Winnebago County Fair parade at 1:30 p.m. Classmate Dan Bell and his wife, Sheryl, were then able to join the group, as Bell was unable to attend the meal the prior evening. Classmate Steve Julius and his wife, Susan, drove his yellow, vintage 1973 Volkswagen Beetle through the route as they proudly represented the Class of ’73 in their hometown parade. Following the parade, classmates and friends walked through the fairgrounds to view exhibits, animals, take in the sights and sounds of the fair and enjoyed visiting with old friends and neighbors. Another milestone effort for the THS Class of 1973 was the collection of donations for the fundraising efforts of the Thompson Public Library. Classmates collected over $500, in order to become ‘gold’ status members of their hometown library.

Harvest blessings held at United Methodist for a safe harvest. Psalm 67:6 reads: The land yields its harvest; God, our God blesses us. The dictionary offers three definitions of a blessing: to hallow or consecrate by religious rite or word; to make the sign of the cross upon or over; to invoke divine care for.

When to keep sick kids out of the classroom With school in full swing in most parts of Iowa, parents once again face that early morning decision – is my child too sick for school? School districts often provide guidelines for keeping children out of the classroom, and the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) encourages parents to keep their children home from school when ill not only for their own child’s health, but to avoid the spread of disease to other students. “There are times when a parent can clearly see their child is too ill for school,â€? said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “Other times, it’s not so clear. While we understand the challenges parents who work outside the home face when trying to accommodate a child who needs to stay home from school, it’s so important that children who have a contagious illness don’t come to class to stop them from spreading whatever they have to the other children. â€? In general, symptoms that indicate a day home from school is needed and consulting with the child’s health care provider is appropriate include: • Fever (temperature higher than

100.4 degrees F. when taken by mouth); • Severe sore throat that lasts more than 48 hours, especially when accompanied by a fever; • A significant rash, particularly when other symptoms are present; • Sores in the mouth with drooling; • Red eyes (pink eye); • Skin infection with erupting sores; • Severe ear pain; • An uncontrolled cough or difficulty breathing; • Diarrhea; • Vomiting more than 2 times in 24 hours; • Severe headache, especially with a fever or • Any symptoms that suggest a more serious illness, such as sluggishness, persistent crying, or irritability. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children may be allowed to return to school after symptoms are gone for at least 24 hours. For information on specific childhood illnesses and what to do regarding school attendance, visit www.idph.state.ia.us/hcci/common/ pdf/childhood_illness_guide.pdf

Iowa KidsNet, the statewide organization that recruits, trains, licenses and supports Iowa’s foster and adoptive families, will hold an information session in Mason City on Thursday, Sept. 12 for individuals interested in becoming foster or adoptive parents. Foster care is the temporary placement of children with families outside of their own home due to abuse, neglect or other family crisis situations. The goal is for loving families to provide children with a safe, stable and nurturing environment. There is no typical foster family – foster families can be single, married, homeowners or renters and can come from all racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds.

This information session gives attendees a basic overview of the process involved in foster care and adoption and an understanding of the characteristics of children in the child welfare system. There is no obligation to continue in the process by attending. There is a large need for more families to foster teens, children with special needs or behaviors and sibling groups. Iowa also has a need for more African American, Latino and Native American foster and adoptive parents. To inquire online and see future session dates, visit www.iowakidsnet.com. Registrants will receive an information packet to fill out before attending the session. For more information, call 1-800-243-0756.

“Talent� semifinalist has Buffalo Center ties

Singer/songwriter Cami Bradley of Spokane, WA is a semifinalist on the current season of America’s Got Talent on NBC. Cami is the granddaughter of Don and Carmen Miller, formerly of Buffalo Center, and the daughter of Paul Miller, who attended school here. She wowed the judges and viewers of the talent competition with her rendition of Cher’s “Believe� on August 13, and she advanced to the semifinals on the August 14 results show. The public calls in to vote for their favorite acts, which include singers, dancers, acrobats, comedians and much more. The live semifinals were set to begin Tuesday, August 27, at 8 p.m. CDT. The season finale is scheduled for September 18. (Photo by Virginia Sherwood/NBC)

Britt Draft Horse Show this weekend The 32nd annual Britt Draft Horse Show will be held at the Hancock County Fairgrounds in

The hallways are once again bustling with activity at North Iowa Community Schools, as the new school year kicked into full gear last Thursday, Aug. 22.

Britt this Friday through Sunday, Aug. 30 – Sept. 1. The show will feature eighteen of the finest sixhorse hitches in the United States and Canada, representing the best of the Belgian, Percheron and Clydesdale performance horses. Crews and horses will travel to Britt from homes in Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Utah. Thousands of spectators, young and old alike, enjoy the show each year. The grandstand shows, held Saturday and Sunday afternoons at 2:00, provide two to three hours of entertainment for all ages. Competition is held in the men’s and ladies cart, team, unicorn, 4-horse and 6-horse hitch classes. At the Sunday afternoon show, all eighteen 6-horse hitches return to the arena at once in the Classic Series Supreme Six-Horse hitch class. The weekend events also include junior classes and halter classes.

Buffalo Center EARLY deadline is Thursday Noon.

NIB looks to City for support continued from page 1 regarding an Officer Training Reimbursement Agreement, which he had been asked to sign. The agreement requires new officers to reimburse the City for a percentage of their training costs at the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy if they leave the department before serving here at least four years. Holmquist declined to sign the agreement, which was dated August 14, stating that he felt the agreement should have been addressed prior to his training. “If I was Matt, I wouldn’t sign it now, either,� said Councilman West. “It should have been signed before he ever went.� Councilman Silber also explained to the Council that Holmquist’s training at the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy wasn’t a necessity, as he already had credentials from Minnesota, which are valid in Iowa. Councilman Jensvold asked why the Council wasn’t aware of this fact sooner. “If I had had the information that he didn’t have to go, he wouldn’t have went,� said Jensvold. Holmquist said he learned the training wasn’t required just three days before he started at the academy. He said he informed Officer Pat Conroy, along with the city clerk, who informed the mayor. “He was asked to go, so that’s our choice,� said Silber. In other police business, Holmquist shared quotes he had

gathered on several options for a new vehicle for the department. Holmquist says he knows the budget is tight, but he wanted the Council to be aware that the current vehicle will eventually become a safety issue. Councilman Schaefer said it would be nice to wait until the next fiscal year before making a purchase, but the Council advised Holmquist to keep his eyes open for potential vehicles. Holmquist informed the Council that he’s received multiple noise complaints related to juveniles driving 4-wheelers around town at night. He suggested the Council might want to look into an ordinance to regulate their use. The Council approved the purchase of three vents for the Buffalo Center Library, which are needed to resolve a moisture problem in the roof. Cost for the vents and labor is $345 each from Heitland Construction. Mayor Armstrong pointed out that the shelter house at Lions Park is in need of new shingles, and the cement floor is badly cracked. The Council approved a motion to seek funding and grant options for repairs. The Council also voted to tear down two trees at Lions Park, which are in poor condition. The City’s garbage truck is in need of new tires, and the Council accepted the low bid of $2,474 from Buffalo Center Tire & Auto for the service and supplies. The Council passed the monthly

bills by a 4-1 vote, with Councilman West voting ‘nay’. West cited bills for landscaping and signage at the Heritage Town Center as the reason for his vote. “I object to the Heritage Center committee spending money and spending money when we have a loan for $125,000 that they have not paid a cent on,� said West. West added that he’s not against the

Heritage Town Center, but he thinks the public should have had a chance to vote on spending such a large amount of tax dollars on the building.

The fairgrounds open at 7:00 a.m. each day, and the public is invited to come early to have a chance to wander through the barns and visit with the crews. Spectators are also invited to visit the booths in the commercial building. Food and camping facilities are available on
