By Andrew Shaw North Iowa Community School has named Denny and Dawn Meinders of Buffalo Center as the Grand Marshals for the 2016 North Iowa Homecoming Parade. Denny and Dawn were both born and raised in Buffalo Center, with Denny graduating from Buffalo Center High School in 1974 and Dawn graduating in 1975. They have two daughters who also attended the local school – Lisa Berggren, of Buffalo Center, and Laura Furne, of Cedar Rapids. Denny served 30 years on the chain gang at the North Iowa football games, and he also serves on

the ambulance crew at the football games. Dawn served as the chairman for the after prom committee for one year while their daughters were in school, and both Denny and Dawn have also helped out with the concession stand during games. Professionally, Denny works as a farmer, while Dawn works at Farmers Trust & Savings Bank in Buffalo Center. The North Iowa Homecoming Parade will take place this Friday, Sept. 23 beginning at 2:45 p.m. in Buffalo Center. Look for a map of this year’s revised parade route elsewhere in this edition.

The coronation ceremony will take place Friday, Sept. 23, at 1:30 p.m. in the North Iowa gymnasium, prior to the start of the Homecoming pep rally.

By Andrew Shaw The use of engine brakes, also known as Jake brakes, is now prohibited within Buffalo Center city limits, after the city council passed a new ordinance last Wednesday during its September meeting. The ordinance comes in response to citizen complaints about the noise caused by these braking systems, particularly on tractor trailers. The ordinance prohibits the use of any engine brake, compression brake or mechanical exhaust device designed to aid in braking or deceleration of any vehicle, which results in excessive, loud, unusual or explosive noise.

Signs will be posted along Highway 9 and Mill Road warning drivers not to use engine brakes within city limits. The council considered including a section in the ordinance that would prohibit brakes that make noise over a certain decibel level, but they decided that would be too difficult to enforce, so they opted for a straightforward ban. Regarding enforcement, Police Chief Matt Holmquist said that using an engine brake would not be a scheduled violation, and he could either issue people with warnings or issue citations requiring violators to COUNCIL to page 13

Timely Mission finalizes plans for assisted living and looks toward nursing home renovations By Andrew Shaw The plans are complete for the new assisted living facility at Timely Mission Nursing Home, and the new facility is scheduled to open in the fall of 2017. The assisted living facility will consist of 10 double occupancy apartments, with each containing a living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. The building will also have a central dining area, a therapy gym and facilities for laundry, beauty and spa. The assisted living will offer residents three nutritious meals per day, along with medication management, daily housekeeping, monthly health checkups and nursing staff available 24 hours a day. The new building will replace the Timely Mission apartment building located just to the south of the nursing home. Stephanie Morris, administrator of Timely Mission Nursing Home, says they hope to get construction

A second apartment building located further south will remain. Timely Mission recently got a boost for the assisted living project in the form of a $10,000 Venture Grant Award from United Way of North Central Iowa. Venture Grant funding is awarded to local non-profit programs that help meet an emerging or

unmet need in the region. In addition to the assisted living project, Timely Mission is also looking to undergo significant renovations at the nursing home in 2018. Morris says their goal is to create private rooms at the nursing home for all residents, and to accomplish that, they plan to build a new wing onto the facility and to knock down and

rebuild an existing wing. Morris says the new wing will extend west from the south part of the nursing home. Once that is built, they plan to tear down and rebuild the north wing. She says the layout of the north wing, including the shared bathrooms, makes it very difficult to renovate that portion of the building for single rooms, so that’s why

they’ve decided to rebuild. “We’ll end up with almost an entirely new nursing home,” said Morris. She pointed out that the existing west hall is the only hall that will remain as it is now. “We won’t increase our capacity, but almost everybody will have their own room,” she added, noting that some double rooms will still be available for couples. Morris says single rooms are in high demand, and the TMNH board hopes that by offering single rooms for all residents, Timely Mission will stand out from other nursing home facilities in the area. The nursing home is now 50 years old, and Morris says the board sees this as a way to make TMNH a prized institution for the next 50 years. “It’s a huge project,” said Morris. She estimates that the assisted living and nursing home renovation projects will cost upwards of $2 million.

Buffalo Center (Iowa) Tribune

‘Givers’ and ‘Takers’ Take a minute to look around at your circle of friends. When you think about them, see if you can tell if they fall into the “Giver” category or the “Taker” category of society. Let me help define what I mean by those terms of “giver” and “taker.” The ‘Takers’ are those individuals whose primary focus is on improving their personal status of living without full consideration of the cost to others or the environment. They are those that consume natural resources like energy and water at high levels, may not recycle, have little outward concern for the environment, don’t seem to worry about others and support interests that personally benefit them. In many cases they don’t volunteer, donate or support few if any charitable causes. They tend to become defensive or change subjects when the needs of society are discussed. The ‘Givers’ are those that often first express concern for others, commit to those causes and interests that benefit society, volunteer time and effort for community projects as well as helping the neighbors and others in the community. They often donate time and/ or dollars to a number of charitable causes. They openly support and promote the various needs of society that are not being met, i.e. the greater good of society as reflected by leaving the

world a better place than we received it. Often it is called “paying forward” – investing into the future of society. The point of this exercise is not that you can expect to convert all of the ‘takers’ into ‘givers’, but, that you might lead by example with generosity, develop a strategy to encourage those that may show some degree of interest in the needs of society. Any positive change that you can make represents a high value to the country. That value is reflected in the donated time, dollars, goods and/or services and the benefits that it provides in the betterment of society. In our nation’s history, it was the “givers” that built and fought for the platform of democracy. They defended the rights for both givers and takers to express their opinions and concerns freely, and purse their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The attitude of those in our early history was defined by “what is it that we can do to make this country a better place.” A real “can do” attitude. In addition, these Americans (many of them recent immigrants) believed in individual freedom and did not always expect government to do it for them. A significant Iowa example of giv-

ers was the start of Iowa’s State Park system. Although the State legislature had earlier passed the authorization for the establishment of an Iowa State Park system, progress did not take place until 1920, when efforts of generous private citizens raised funds to acquire land and fund the first State Park – Backbone State Park near Strawberry Point. That was the signal for others around Iowa to take action in helping to fund and start other State Parks. These early Iowa givers took action rather than waiting for Government funding. An example of “givers” supporting that effort and taking the lead to benefit society are the various “State Park Friends Groups.” We need to support these groups as generous givers. Let’s encourage others to not just celebrate the 100th anniversary of Iowa State Parks in 2020, but make it one of the most significant events in our history. Keep Iowa Beautiful is exploring how we can help with that effort beginning now until the 2020 celebration. Watch for more details! The lasting legacy will be amazing. Let’s start the celebration of Iowa’s State Parks for the next 100 years!

The wall

I am constantly bombarded with email forwards about the dastardly deeds and potential dangers of Islamic extremism and other foreign interlopers. A wall on the Mexican border has become the popular solution. This will supposedly protect American workers from the unfair competition of people who want to work hard. And the jihadis will not be able to get through and blow things up. The claim that “illegals” are receiving benefits that should be reserved only for citizens opens up a topic that is largely ignored but the most important of all. It could be argued that non-citizens are less deserving of someone else’s property. I contend that no one is deserving of anyone else’s property. A lot of this discussion is driven by a desire for prosperity, and prosperity can only come from the fruits of our labor staying with us. Otherwise, incentive to produce is reduced or eliminated. Socialist governments fail because we can’t fight human nature. The law exists because selfishness invariably impacts other people who deserve to keep what they’ve earned. To claim that our country is in danger because foreigners can take “our benefits” validates those benefits, and those benefits are more

The Alternative Fritz Groszkruger 4selfgovernment@gmail.com www.alternativebyfritz.com

destructive than the invaders themselves. Among the benefits at risk are all the socialistic programs that are dragging this country down. Social Security has replaced a family structure where grandparents cared for the children of their working children. The children later cared for the grandparents. It worked fine. Family has more innate incentive to care for each other than the faceless bureaucracy of government office workers. Gratitude plays a big part as well. Government drinking ages and drug laws have taught us that we are not responsible for our actions. When bad things happen because of drugs or alcohol we first say, “where did they get it” rather than, “how foolish or disrespectful.” This leads to further calls to replace self-respect and respect for others with state mandates. State mandates don’t inspire love and respect, they produce defiance, black markets, crime, and skyrocketing costs. If our country’s laws merely protected our property rather than try-

ing (unsuccessfully) to manage, improve, insure, incentivize, equalize, and coddle our lives, then a much smaller government could make it impossible for terrorists or welfare cheats to survive here. And they would either return home or become contributing members of society. A military that defends our borders instead of the rest of the world could make the border a filter, not a wall that excludes valuable contributors along with the ones we should keep out. It would also keep that military from creating more disasters around the world that come to haunt us later. Build the wall for a bandaid if you’ve given up on our republic. Or eliminate theft from our government’s duties in order to solve domestic problems and keep us safe from invaders. A wall might keep out a few criminals. But our welfare state produces them right here at a much higher rate. Comments on this article are welcome as a letter to the paper or to me at 4selfgovernment@gmail.com.

Way back when 10 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, September 21, 2006 Homecoming Royalty crowned Thursday evening, September 14 at North Iowa High School was 2006 Queen Allison Van Gerpen and Homecoming King Wade Engelbarts. 11-year-old Eric Krull of Buffalo Center finished second in the 1213 age division of the Iowa Section PGA Junior (golf) Tour this year. Eric is the son of Mark and Shelda Krull of rural Buffalo Center and a sixth grade student at North Iowa Middle School. 20 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, September 19, 1996 The scoreboard at the UNIDome gave North Iowa and Bellevue faithful, football fans a polite sendoff Thursday evening after the football game as it read, “Thank You for Coming” after the football game had been decided in favor of the Comets, 33-13. One of the most awe-inspiring astronomical events is an eclipse. On Thursday evening, September 26, a total lunar eclipse will occur in Iowa, and the Winnebago County Conservation Board wants to help you enjoy it. The Conservation Board will have telescopes set up from 8:30-10:30 p.m.

30 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, September 25, 1986 A decision was reached at a special meeting of the City Council Monday, September 22, relative to the curb and gutter project along the west side of North Main Street from 2nd Avenue to 3rd Avenue. The addition of new sidewalks will complete the installation project once the curbings and gutters are in place. Stephanie Hove, a senior, and a majorette for the marching band at the Buffalo Center-Rake Community Schools, has been selected by members of the band to be their queen candidate at the 48th Annual Band Festival in Mason City to be held this weekend. 40 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, September 30, 1976 Homecoming activities have started this week with each class and clubs beginning work on their floats at the Buffalo Center Community Schools. The theme for this year’s events is “Bison Go to Hollywood”. The Buffalo Center Bison, high on enthusiasm, and a desire to win, pulled off their first victory when they played the visiting Belmond Broncos with a winning score of 1514. Congratulations to the Bison! 50 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, September 29, 1966 Brian Swanson, of Grant Go-Get-

ters 4-H Club, will be one of Iowa’s twenty-nine delegates to the National 4-H Club Congress in November. He received his recognition for this 4-H program in Health and Nutrition. Brian, 17, is a believer in eating properly. The members of the GRA (Girls Recreation Association) took to the road on Tuesday evening, September 13, and enjoyed a long “Bike Hike” into the country. The large group ended up at the Joe Abels farm where they were met by their Supervisor, Miss Mary Oien and assistant Joan Kruse, who were also the food committee, and all did justice to a picnic supper – plus apples furnished by the Abels. Softball and touch football were played before the girls bicycled back into town, a little tired, but none the worse for wear. 60 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, September 27, 1956 Arnold Kuecker, of the Buffalo Center Coop Creamery of Buffalo Center, has entered butter at the National Butter and Cheese Contest in conjunction with the National Dairy Cattle Congress, September 29-October 6. Richard Eckheart has been named chairman of a committee to conduct the annual drive for Boy Scout funds. Team captains who will conduct the drive include the following: Merlyn Elman, Loran Kopp, Dick Weaver, Cal Rippentrop, Bill Becker, and Elwyn Letcher.

New display cases will be purchased to show the class composites at the Thompson Museum, thanks to donations by Aureon and WCTA.

New route for Homecoming Parade

The 2016 North Iowa Homecoming Parade will follow a slightly different route this year, due to the street construction going on in Buffalo Center. The parade will organize at Bison Field and head down Mission Drive before traveling for four blocks along 3rd Ave. NW. The parade will turn south on 1st St. NW, east on 2nd Ave. NW, north on Main Street and then head back west on 3rd Ave. NW before turning north on 1st St. NW to end at the school. The parade is scheduled to begin this Friday, Sept. 23 at 2:45 p.m.

Representatives from Winnebago Cooperative Telecom Association (WCTA) and Aureon came to the Thompson Museum last Friday to present a pair of matching grant checks. WCTA and Aureon each donated $150, with the funds going toward the purchase of new display cases for the class photo composites at the museum. Mary Green of the Thompson Museum gave the representatives a tour of the displays in the museum, which consist of many items donated by local people. She said the effort began three years ago to start a local museum, which is now located in the former library, at the south end of the fire station. The money was awarded through the Aureon Charity Grant, and WCTA supported the grant application and made a matching donation. Aureon is the new name for Iowa Network Services, which created the grant program in 1993 to increase service and support to rural independent telecommunications companies and the communities they serve. Grants are awarded on a quarterly basis. Aureon has donated over $850,000 to local communities and their surrounding area over the course of 12 years.

Thelma Louise Adams

Thelma Louise Adams, 69 of Thompson, passed away peacefully on September 13, 2016, after a 30 year battle with liver disease. A funeral service was held Friday, September 16, at the First Reformed Church, Buffalo Center. Interment was held in Olena Mound Cemetery. Thelma was born December 28, 1946, to Anthony Kasper and Anne Schnell Draves. Thelma was one of three sisters raised on a Hamilton County farm near Blairsburg. Upon her graduation from high school, she attended William Penn College in Oskaloosa, where she received her teaching degree. Education and teaching was popular in the Draves family household, as all three sisters became teachers. While attending a wedding, Thelma was introduced to Darwin Eugene Adams. After a long distant courtship that included a lot of miles on a Harley Davidson motorcycle, Darwin and Thelma were united in marriage on August 9, 1969. From their loving marriage two sons were born, Darrin Eugene and Devere Anton. Thelma and Darwin made their home in Thompson. Thelma began her teaching career with Thompson Community Schools in the fall of 1969. Thelma’s faith called her to work with all ages of students in need of help in their education. She was a kindergarten teacher, an elementary teacher, high school teacher, substitute teacher, night school teacher, a Sunday school teacher and most recently a special education teacher. As a night school teacher, she helped many adults return to school and earn their G.E.D. Thelma’s teaching career did not end after retirement; she continued to help grandkids with homework. Thelma had a lot of passions in her life. She kept busy with her many hobbies, which included her flowers, garden, “Church basement ladies”, quilting and photography. She was very proud of her grandchildren and was hardly ever seen without her camera at their many activities. She also loved blue, as was evident in her blue glass collection, blue furniture, blue carpet, blue countertop and most recently her choice in a blue tinted roof. Thelma’s most important role was spending time with her husband, Darwin. This included dressing in character during the Christmas season to assist the “Big Guy” in the red suit and beard. She is survived by: her husband of 47 years, Darwin; sons, Darrin (Tricia) of Emmetsburg and Devere of Algona; three grandchildren, Kaylie Marie, Hannah Louise and Nathan Kasper; sisters, Pauline (Rex) Hall of Boone, Lorraine (Steve) Bates of Sigourney; several sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nephews, nieces and friends; as well as her “fur baby” Lily, which will keep Darwin company. Thelma is preceded in death by: her parents; father-in-law, Lee Adams and her mother-in-law, Virginia Adams-Neely. Thelma, driven in Faith is now at Peace. Her many, many trips to Mayo Clinic are done. She is in Heaven watching down on us as we continue to learn the lessons she once taught. She is likely waving her finger saying “Get your homework DONE!” Winter Funeral Home funeral home assisted the family with arrangements.

Feel-Good Foods for Fall FAMILY FEATURES

risp mornings, cozy sweaters and a craving for comfort foods are all sure signs that autumn is in the air. No fall menu is complete without hearty, homestyle dishes that evoke feelings of well-being and warmth, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better way to capture the flavors of fall than with the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature ingredient â&#x20AC;&#x201C; apples. Serving up fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best feel-good foods doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be hard. One clever solution: apple butter. Made from apples slow-simmered in kettles of sugar, apple cider and spices, apple butter is more than just a spread. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a versatile ingredient that can enhance your favorite sweet and savory recipes. Made with American-grown apples in the classic Pennsylvania Dutch style, Musselmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apple Butter lends a unique taste to main dishes and desserts alike. While this one-pot dinner saves time on busy fall evenings, it also boasts a rich, tangy sauce that gets a special twist from the spice of apple butter. Fall is also the perfect time for creating beloved desserts, and whoopie pie is always a winning choice. This spiced up version of the traditional favorite draws its flavor from Musselmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apple Butter, with an old-fashioned taste that is the essence of comfort food. Find more feel-good recipes for fall at musselmans. com.

Giesking earns All-State golf recognition

North Iowa senior Sydney Giesking was recently honored by the Iowa High School Golf Coaches Association as an All-State selection for the spring 2016 season. Giesking was the top golfer for the Lady Bison this past season, as she took fifth place in the conference and sixth place at the Regional opening round in May.

JV girls win Garner tournament

The North Iowa JV volleyball team took first place last Saturday, Sept. 17 at the GHV Junior Varsity Tournament in Garner. The Lady Bison took second place in their pool before going on to defeat North Union and Central Springs for the tournament title. Front from left are: Natasha Droessler, Lexie Arnevik, Jordan Ostrander, Madison Hassebroek and Willow Huitt. Back row: Coach Micah Peters, McKenna Larson, Layla Langfald, Jenna Govern, Mackenzie Bengtson, Jenna Berschman, Katelin Adams and Paige Pike.

Ladies put away Broncos in three sets The North Iowa Lady Bison hit the road last Tuesday for their only volleyball match of the week at Belmond. The ladies brought home a nice 3-0 win over the Broncos, as they scored 25-19, 25-21 and 25-19 for their third conference win. Kendall Melz and Krista Schutter led the Lady Bison in kills for the night with eight each. Cassidy Sachs served 17/17 and Schutter went 14/14, while Rachel Hassebroek led in aces with five. “We played well; it was great to get another conference win,” said Lady Bison Head Coach Sharla Hassebroek. She notes that there are still some things to work on, however.

“There is room for improvement in our setting and our hitting. We need to be more consistent and aggressively attack every ball possible. Our defense has been solid, but we hope to improve on blocking. “We served very well, though!” added Hassebroek. “As a team, we only missed four serves and collected 12 aces! We are happy with the aggressive serves the girls are putting across the net. “Homecoming is this week, and we hope to come away with two more wins against Bishop Garrigan on Tuesday night and Mason City Newman on Thursday,” said Coach Hassebroek.

Runners pick up two more medals in Emmetsburg

The North Iowa cross country teams raced in the Emmetsburg Invitational last Monday, Sept. 12, where the boys and the girls each picked up one medal. Mia Blodgett and Sam Hassebroek led their teams for the day, with Blodgett placing 12th and Hassebroek placing eighth, as both runners picked up their second medals of the season. The North Iowa girls placed fourth overall with a score of 137, while the boys’ team was incomplete. “The girls were led by Mia’s medalist performance in a talented field. With two ranked teams, the top spots were a difficult commodity to earn. She went out fast and held on for a

well-earned medalist spot,” said Head Coach Jonathan Potter. “Faith and Rian battled well throughout the race, with Faith nipping Rian in the last two hundred meters. Kenzy and Samantha are working hard to show growth as their freshman season unfolds. “Sam went out strong and battled to stay in contention with the second pack,” said Potter about the boys’ race. “While he faded the last mile, he had placed himself in a good enough position to come away with a nice medal. Jordan ran his second best race of the season and is learning the ropes in cross country nicely. Kevin had by far his best race in terms of time and placing, which is a real positive.

The NIHS marching band took to the field for the halftime show at last Friday’s football game in Buffalo Center. The band opened its set with the theme from James Bond.

Drew Jensen, right, and Noah Paulson take down the ball carrier as the Bison hosted Northwood-Kensett last Friday.

The Bison showed signs of improvement last Friday night, as they put up their highest score so far this season in a district loss to Northwood-Kensett in Buffalo Center. North Iowa responded to the Vikings’ first touchdown to put up an

better, which is good – we need to take that momentum into this week. “The record of the teams we’ve played so far this year is 13-3,” noted Coach Eichenberger. “We have played some really good teams; hopefully that has prepared us for the remainder of the season. We still play a bunch of quality opponents, and hopefully the ones we’ve played

early 8-6 lead. The Vikings quickly took back the lead, but the Bison were able to stay within striking distance until late in the second quarter. N-K eventually pulled ahead to a final margin of 66-24. “After giving up an early touchdown to Northwood, it was nice to match them right away and take an early 8-6 lead,” said Bison Head

Coach Graig Eichenberger. “We also had a chance when it was 16-20 Northwood; we had just scored, and if the onside kick had gone another 4-6 inches, we would have had the ball with some momentum. In the end, the score got a little out of hand, but I think we played better this week. “I think we showed improvement

tonight,” said Eichenberger. “When talking to Northwood’s coach, he said we got a lot better this week. Northwood is a quality opponent and has been that way for a number of years now. Offensively, we were able to do a couple of things tonight, and that was good for us. We still need to work on the defensive side of football a lot more. We are getting

so far have prepared us for the next few weeks. I’m just proud that the boys are still working hard and are trying to get better every week. Hopefully, for their sake, it will pay off soon.” Stats from Friday’s game were unavailable at press time.

Hunting with Heroes honors Wou nd Warriors and local veterans for fif ed th year

President Theodore Roosevelt once said, “A man that is good enough to shed blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal after afterwards.” This is one of the quotes that local non-profit organization “Hunting with Heroes” has adopted as a mantra and as a purpose for their annual event that honors veterans from near and far each year around the Lakota Area. On November 6-9, the group hosted its fifth group of Wounded Warriors from Camp Lejuene, NC for friendship, fellowship and recognition of the sacrifices that our military makes for us each and every day. In 2011, Bernard and Jason Becker founded “Hunting with Heroes”- a non-profit organization managed through the local American Legion Post 21 as a way to honor young men and women that fought in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. The event started as a way to honor young servicemen and women injured in battle but grew into an event that honors the dozens of local veterans from the area, as well. Through the generosity of local volunteers and supporters, this year’s Hunting with Heroes was once again made possibl event was arguably the best one yet. e this year thanks to volunteers who offered assistance and land for hunting to the their visiting Wounded Warriors from Camp As in the prior four years of the Lejuene, NC. The group of visiting Marines this year included, front from event, “Hunting with Heroes” worked left: Staff Sgt Eric Bruland, Major Stephe n Taylor, dog closely with the United States Marine handler Jim McGrady and Chief Warrant Officer 3 Brad Pottorff.

Corps this year to find Marines who had been injured in battle and who were in need of time away from rehabilitation of their physical and emotional injuries from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. This year, a total of seven Purple Heart Recipients were welcomed to the area for the weekend. Four Marine attendees made their first trip for the event: Major Steven Taylor, Captain Andrew Yeary, Staff Sgt. Eric Bruland and Sgt. Jonathan Smart. In addition, three participants from past years came back to assist with the logistics and execution of the event as alumni members. “Having the alumni members present at the event the last couple of years has been a great improvement, as they are able to relate to our new marine attendees and make them feel immediately at ease,” said Bernie Becker. All seven of the Marines received wounds from recent wartime efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan and are representative of the thousands of Marines who have been killed or wounded defending the freedom of our country. This year’s event started off with a very special welcome to Iowa, as the Wounded Warriors were warmly received by Iowa State men’s basketHEROES to page 11

Ladies enjoy a nice night on the town

Many shoppers got their first look at one of Buffalo Center’s newest establishments , The Tin Lily, during Ladies Night Out last Tuesda y, Nov. 10. Carol Wilson of The Rusty Rose recently expanded her operations into the new space on Main Street, located in the former Leibran d TV & Appliance store. While the new store also features antique items much like The Rusty Rose, Wilson is taking advantage of all the new space by arranging displays with differen t themes at The Tin Lily, such as bedroom, dining room and kids’ room displays. She also has a wide assortment of vintage chairs and other furniture in the basement level of the buildin g.

Buffalo Center

The Bison Senior Center hosted a variety of vendors and crafters during Ladies Night Out on Novem ber 10, including Thrive, Scentsy, 31, Tupperware, Origami Owl, Keep Collective, Wildtree and the Heartwarmers Quilt Guild.

Retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergea nt Dennis Murra delivered the address at the annual Veterans Day Program held at North Iowa High School on Wednesday, Nov. 11. He said that veterans often consider their time in service to be one of the most defining experie nces of their lives. Murra spoke about the recent Operation LZ event held in Forest City for veterans of the Vietnam War, and he addressed some common myths about that war, noting that the majority of servicemen and women who took part in that war were volunteers, rather than draftees. He also talked about ways that young people can uphold the traditions of this nation on Veterans Day and on every day of the year, such as flying the flag, volunteering in the community, and saying “thanks” to those who have served. “If you feel that being an Americ an is a title and not a responsibility, then this nation may not survive,” said Murra. “We need everyone to serve in whatever way they can.” More on page 11.

The council passed the ﬁrst reading of the ordinance on a 3-1 vote, with Councilman Wubben voting no. Wubben expressed concerns that the ordinance would not be enforced. Councilman Paulson was serving as mayor pro tem due to Mayor Armstrong’s absence that night and did not cast a vote. The council went on to waive the second and third readings of the ordinance. The ordinance goes into effect with the publication of Ordinance 73 in this edition of the Buffalo Center Tribune. Continued from page 1

Farm Safety Week is September 18-24 The Iowa Farm Safety and Health Week is being held September 1824 in conjunction with the National Farm Safety and Health Week. This year’s theme is “Farm Safety…A Legacy to be Proud Of.” This is the 73rd observance of the National Farm Safety and Health Week that was originally declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt signed the first proclamation for farm safety in 1944 because of the high injury rate in agriculture that was impacting the nation’s production efforts during World War II. Nearly 75 years later, agriculture still ranks as the most dangerous industry in the United States. Today, safety professionals use this week to remind those working within the industry to be careful. Agriculture has the highest annual death rates per 100,000 workers in the nation, surpassing all the other industries including mining, construction and manufacturing. Agriculture’s death rate is more than five times higher than all U.S. industries combined. This high death rate is why Iowans must use safe farming practices during harvest and throughout the year. Iowa Governor Terry Branstad signed a proclamation September 9 to commemorate the week. The proclamation calls for all Iowans to “work together to control and mitigate these farm risks.” Working to make farms safer is crucial to a state like Iowa that has more than 90 per-

cent of its land used in agriculture and distributes more than $10 billion worth of agricultural products each year, the proclamation notes. The Iowa Farm Safety Council encourages Iowans to make better safety and health decisions this harvest season and during the next year. You can prepare to prevent serious injuries and death by: • cautiously approaching field adjustments or repairs, • taking precautions to avoid slips and falls, • making smart decisions while assigning tasks to youth, and • understanding how physical abilities change with aging. Join the Iowa Farm Safety Council and the National Safety Council in promoting safety during the 73rd annual National Farm Safety and Health Week September 18-24. During this time, encourage others to adopt safe practices and behaviors in order to prevent injuries during this harvest season.

In approximately 300 words per household explain the beginnings and bring the story up to today. See sample stories. 2. Each story should be signed “Submitted by ________________.” 3. Type the story or have it typed on plain typing paper, double-spaced, and keep a copy for your own record. 4. Submit a picture with the story. Write a caption for the picture as well as the name and address of the owner so that the picture can be returned to you after the book is published. Tape (please no paper clips or staples) these pieces of information to the back of the picture. DO NOT SUBMIT THE PICTURE IN A FRAME. 5. If your picture is old and fragile, it is advisable to have a photo-print made by a photographer or you may submit a quality, high-resolution (300 dpi) laser scan that has been trimmed, either a hard copy or a clearly labeled digital file on a CD-rom in tiﬀ format. 6. The picture and story should be turned in or mailed to the address above no later than July 20, 2016. Your story may need to be shortened if repetitious of other stories or if space does not permit, but this is only if absolutely necessary. If you wish to memorialize or honor your parents or others, additional space is available. See the Order Form. We expect the book to contain from 200 to 300 pages or more and include 600-800 pictures, depending on the number of families, churches and organizations, etc., that submit their stories and pictures.
