Harvest in full swing

Area farmers have been hard at work harvesting their soybeans over the past week, as fields have dried out following several inches of rain in mid-September. Jo Steffensen, above, runs the combine as she and her husband, Paul, and son, Tony, cleared out a field east of Buffalo Center on Monday. While the weather caused a delay in the harvest, our area fared well compared to parts of the state that received more than a foot of rain last month. There are a couple of chances for rain in the forecast for this week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

Local ambulance and first responder crews are in need of new Emergency Medical Technicians, and they will sponsor an EMT course in Buffalo Center, beginning next week. The course is provided through North Iowa Area Community College and will be held at the Buffalo Center Ambulance building beginning October 10 and running through March 6 of next year.

Paul Armstrong, president of the Buffalo Center Ambulance, says they have 13 people signed up so far, including three from Buffalo Center. The course provides students

with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform emergency care and transport. Course modules include preparatory, function and development of the human body, pharmacology, airway management, patient assessment, medical emergencies, shock, trauma, special patient populations, and EMS operations. The course also requires an additional 18 hours of hospital-based clinical time and 12 hours of ambulance ride time. The course is approved for 7.0 semester hours of college credit. People interested in taking the course may contact Paul Armstrong at 515-538-0683 or call NIACC at 641-422-4388. More information is also available by calling 641-422-4434.

Homecoming game worth the wait as Bison pick up first win

Spencer Armstrong, right, readies a pass to Austin Haisman during the Bison’s Homecoming victory over Clarksville last Monday evening, Sept. 26 in Buffalo Center. The Bison had to wait an extra three days for their Homecoming match, after the game was postponed from the previous Friday due to flooding in the Clarksville area. After a slow start in the first half, the Bison came back to score 28 points in the second half for their first win of the season, 34-28. See sports on page 9.

Local clubs celebrate National 4-H Week Now is the time of year for youth to join and participate in 4-H, the youth development program of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Local clubs in Winnebago and Kossuth Counties are celebrating all things 4-H during National 4-H Week, October 2-8. 4-H is active in each of Iowa’s 99 counties and empowers youth to reach their full potential through many dif-

ferent types of experiences, including photography, music, woodworking, sewing, archery, livestock and horticulture. Youth have fun while gaining valuable skills in communication and the arts, citizenship and leadership, science, technology, engineering and math, as well as healthy living and personal life management by being involved in 4-H. “During this National 4-H Week,

it is important to remember the 4-H pledge, which is recited at every 4-H club meeting, and what it teaches. ‘I pledge my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service and my Health to better living, for my club, my community, my country and my world,’” said Darcie Kramer, Kossuth County Youth Educator. “This is really what 4-H is all about!”

4-H grows confidence, creativity, curiosity, courage, character and much more in youth. 4-H allows youth to use the skills that they learn to go out and make a positive difference in their communities. To learn more about how 4-H youth development is empowering young people, or to get involved with 4-H, visit extension.iastate.edu/kossuth/4h or extension.iastate.edu/winnebago/4h

will host a Teen Night event this Friday, Oct. 7, for North Iowa High School students in grades 9-12. Youth are invited to attend a night of fun at the North Iowa Commons, beginning after the football game and lasting until 11 p.m. Activities planned include Bingo, life-size Connect Four, Pictionary and other games. Food and fun will be provided. Prizes will be given throughout the evening. Area businesses have given donations in the form of financial contributions, as well as prizes. The Task Force appreciates all the support to make the night a success. This night is not only about having fun but also to educate the youth on how alcohol and drugs can have a negative impact on their lives. Through the support of the school district, the Task Force is offering an “impaired experience”. Distorted goggles will show what it feels like to drive under the influence. The Task Force will also have materials to show what distracted driving looks like. The materials are provided through the local AEA. The mission of the Task Force is to educate, prevent and reduce youth substance abuse in Winnebago County. Its vision is for Winnebago County to be a safe and substance abuse-free environment for youth. The Task Force hopes that by offering opportunities like this to youth, they are reducing substance use among teens. Anyone interested in joining the Task Force’s youth coalition, as well as adults who would like to be involved with the Task Force, may contact the Winnebago County Task Force office at 641-562-2525.

Buffalo Center (Iowa) Tribune

Way back when 10 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, October 5, 2006 Diane Matthias, owner of Diane’s Jubilee Quilting, will host an open house on Friday, October 6 and Saturday, October 7. Quilting has become Diane’s passion since retiring from teaching in May of 2005. Diane, who has hand quilted for the past 20 years, bought her Gammill Classic Plus quilting machine in December 2004. She opened her quilting business in 2005, and the resulting projects are gorgeous. With the approach of fall and residents busy raking their yards, Buffalo Center Postmaster Lynn Hassebroek reminds rural customers not to burn leaves in front of any mailboxes in the vicinity of their property. Orders are being taken for the new North Iowa Bison t-shirts, which are being sold to raise money for North Iowa Auditorium renovations. 20 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, October 3, 1996 The NIHS Marching Band under the direction of Tom Winkers will be marching in the Algona Band Days Parade, Saturday, October 5. This parade will showcase 22 high school bands from the north Iowa region. Starting time is at 1:00 p.m. followed by a featured percussion showcase and an awards ceremony. We are informed with the good weather earlier this week that some area farmers are headed to their bean fields with their combines to begin harvesting. Soon our roads and highways will have harvest equipment on them as farmers move from field to field. Be prepared to stop suddenly as you drive.

30 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, October 9, 1986 VFW Post 4824 of Buffalo Center is taking donations for a pheasant dinner for disabled veterans during the month of October. The 45th Annual Pheasant Dinner for the hospitalized veterans will be served at 14 hospitals and veteran’s homes throughout the U.S. Thursday October 23. As in previous years, this is a combined VFW and American Legion project. The VFW goal will again be set at 3,000 birds costing approximately $16,000. Donations for the project may be made by stopping at the VFW Club. September brought 4.10 inches of rain in the Tribune area, according to John Plaisier, the official weather bureau observer. Precipitation fell on 18 days. Hail was reported on September 27. The high temperature for the month was 88 degrees. The low was 36 degrees. 40 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, October 14, 1976 The Homecoming King and Queen announcement was made at the halftime show of the Bison and Northwood-Vikings football game. Mike Ostermann was crowned Homecoming King, and Karla Askeland was the Homecoming Queen. Pat Costigan of Buffalo Center will began his duties as the new deputy in Winnebago County on Friday, October 15, his first official day. He said that since high school days one of his major aspirations was to become a law enforcement officer in his home territory. He will have realized his ambition. Dale Evans will be in person in Mason City in the high school auditorium. You will be thrilled to hear her singing and to hear her testimony. Arrangements were made by Rev. Stan Wierson of Buffalo Cen-

ter. The Buffalo Center High School Jazz Ensemble is scheduled to present a concert at 6:30 p.m. under the direction of the Buffalo Center Band Director Keith Peterson. 50 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, October 13, 1966 The Homecoming Queen was Julie Gill. Her attendants were Mary Costigan and Jean Johnson. Julie was crowned by last year’s Queen, Mary Schmidt. The Bison-Viking football game was won by Buffalo Center, 18-6. The selected players of the week were Terry Letcher and Pete Wessels. Terry Letcher was the lineman and defensive player. Pete Wessels was selected as a halfback. The Junior Class play, “Danger, Love at Work” will be given on Tuesday evening, October 18, at the high school auditorium. The play is under the direction of Robert Juhl. 60 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, October 11, 1956 Over 25 members of the Business Men’s Club met at the City Hall on Monday evening to enjoy a delicious family style dinner of roast beef and all the trimmings. It was served by Mesdames Hassebroek and Heitland. A very clever, and appropiate, talk was given by Rev. Henry Van Dyke. He spoke on “Business in Christianity”. President Elmer Leibrand was in charge of the business session and Secretary K. H. Elman read the minutes and reported on the finances. A special edition of the Tribune will be printed the week of October 18 for the Buffalo Days promotion. Many of the merchants will have special ads and includes Winter Clothing, Beste Pharmacy and many other merchants. Donations will be given to the Salvation Army, the Girl Scouts, and a kickoff breakfast for the Boy Scouts Fund Drive.

The Winnebago County Task Force, in cooperation with local law enforcement agencies and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), will hold a drug Take Back Day on Saturday, Oct. 22. This is the 12th such Take Back Day to be offered in six years, and it will give the public an opportunity to prevent bill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. People can bring their pills for disposal to: Buffalo Center City Hall from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., Forest City-Winnebago County Sheriff Department from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. or Miller Pharmacy from 8:30 a.m.noon, and the Lake Mills Police Department from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Note that the DEA cannot accept liquids, needles or sharps – only pills or patches. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Last April, Americans turned in

447 tons (over 893,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at almost 5,400 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,200 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 11 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in over 6.4 million pounds—about 3,200 tons—of pills. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing

them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards. For more information about the disposal of prescription drugs or about the October 22 Take Back Day event, go to the DEA Diversion website or winnebagocountytaskforce. com

John F. Hassebroek, 98 of Sioux City, died peacefully from natural causes on Wednesday, September 21, 2016, at Sunrise Retirement Community in Sioux City with his daughter Val by his side. Memorial services were held at 11 a.m., Monday, September 26, at First Presbyterian Church in Sioux City, with Rev. Dr. Tom Murray officiating. Military honors were presented at the church. John was born January 12, 1918 near Sibley, IA to Wessel and Hattie (Klaasen) Hassebroek; the youngest of five children. His mother, Hattie, died two months after his birth during the flu epidemic of 1918. Following her death, John lived with his paternal grandparents. In 1931, John’s father married his first wife’s sister, Annie. The family moved to a farm near Buffalo Center. After attending country school through 8th grade in George, John graduated from Buffalo Center High School in 1936. His classmate Lloyd Kiewiet and John became fast and lifelong friends. Following graduation and miscellaneous jobs in Buffalo Center and Des Moines, John enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1943. While in Des Moines, he met Bonnie Jean Brodie, a member of the Women’s Army Corps. They were married on October 2, 1943 in Des Moines. Both served overseas during World War II. Following the war, John and Bonnie returned to Iowa, settling in Sioux City. John worked for American Popcorn Company for 36 years, retiring in 1982 as Vice President: Field Representative. John enjoyed a long and successful career with strong connections to the Smith family and the farm families with whom he contracted acreages for Jolly Time Popcorn. He always felt pride in his work and was known as Popcorn John. John and Bonnie were longtime, active members of First Presbyterian Church in Sioux City. John was an avid camper and fisherman, enjoying many adventures with their friends the Roseberry’s. In retirement, John pursued many projects at their cabin at Lake Okoboji. Fishing, gardening and entertaining grandchildren at “the cottage”, were among his favorite pastimes. In 2005, John and Bonnie moved to Sunrise Retirement Community in Morningside. John often said it was the best decision he ever made. He was happy there and well liked by all he met. Bonnie passed away September 12, 2008. John is survived by: his daughter, Valerie and her husband Jerry Vagts of St. Paul, MN; four grandchildren, Rachel of Berea, KY, Amalia and spouse David of Decorah, Thatcher and spouse Kelly of Moab, UT, Paul and spouse Indra of Sarasota, FL; great-granddaughter, Kaya; great-grandsons, Pierson, Finn, Aiden and Oran; plus numerous nieces and nephews. John was preceded in death by: his wife of 65 years, Bonnie; his son, Tom; his parents; four siblings and their spouses, William Hassebroek (Vera), Marvin Hassebroek (Margaret), Harriett Van Hoorn (Dick) and Harvey Hassebroek (Grace). In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the Sunrise Retirement Community for the remodeling of the Bernstein Unit. Meyer Brothers Colonial Chapel in Sioux City was in charge of arrangements.

They lived in several communities including Dell, MN, Elmore, MN, Rake and Thompson; eventually moving back to Rake in their retirement. They also delivered motor homes for Winnebago all over the United States. Donna enjoyed working on the farm, operating the tractors and other equipment, nature, gardening and any flowers that were not white. She also enjoyed dancing with her husband, Alfred, and being a den mother. She especially enjoyed spending time with her family. Donna was known for her quick wit and great sense of humor.

jandro Plastina, ISU Extension and Outreach economist, using farm level data provided by the Iowa Farm Business Association. “This report is a very useful tool to understand where your operation is currently standing and to compare that with similar farms in Iowa,” said Plastina. “The data provided by the Iowa Farm Business Association was incredibly important to this study. This is the first time in nearly a decade this data was available to Iowa State, and it helped immensely in our efforts to understand the current financial situation on Iowa’s farms.” This report is different from others because farm operations are classified based on their ability to produce free cash flow. The farms are broken into one of five groups, each group comprising 20 percent of the number of active farms (top 20 percent, upper 20-40 percent, middle 20 percent, lower 20-40 percent and lowest 20 percent). This structure allows the report to be used for benchmarking each farm operation against similar farms, instead of a simple industry average.

Because the data used in the study come from IFBA accounting records, it is generally more accurate and consistent than data obtained from cross-sectional surveys. It also provides a very detailed snapshot of farm conditions at the start of 2016. “Most farms had strong balance sheets and were in a good solvency position at the start of 2016,” said Plastina. “Farmers enjoyed a long period of very good prices and sustained profitability, which meant 80 percent of farms were in that high solvency position. Farmers had built their equity during the good times and are now relying on those retained earnings.” As commodity prices for both crops and livestock have dipped since the start of 2015, cash flow in the operations became a concern for some farmers. While most farms were still in good shape by the end of 2015, the lowest 20 percent of operations were in a weak liquidity position. “There is a general belief that farms across the board started 2016 with low liquidity levels, and that isn’t the case,” said Plastina. “Only the lowest

20 percent had weak liquidity levels at the end of 2015 compared to all others who had high or average levels.” Liquidity has been pushed down by profitability, and return on investment has been low, Plastina said. Many of the farms that showed a negative in farm income had a high proportion of their gross farm sales coming from livestock. One way the top performing farms separated themselves from others is in marketing. The top 20 percent of farms received corn and soybean prices that were, respectively, 33 cents and 53 cents higher than farms in the lowest 20 percent. “So far there haven’t been any reports that show the relevance of marketing,” said Plastina. “It is very clear how those farms that do better are not only better in terms of production but in terms of the final price they get for their crops.” The full report can be found on the ISU Extension and Outreach website at https://store.extension.iastate.edu/ Product/14825

Practical Farmers of Iowa encourages farmers thinking of growing small grains in 2017 to consider applying for financial assistance through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Practice 328: Extended Crop Rotations and practice 340: Cover Crops are both covered under EQIP. This funding could make it profitable for farmers to diversify their corn-soybean acres

with oats and red clover, or wheat followed by a diverse cover crop mix. Applications for EQIP funding, which is administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, are accepted on a rolling basis. However, farmers who want to plant a small grain next spring must apply by October 21, which is the cutoff date NRCS has set to rank applications that would be slated to receive EQIP funds at the start of 2017. The next cutoff date for new EQIP applications is March 17, 2017. To apply for EQIP or find more information, farmers should contact their local NRCS office. Extended crop rotations break pest cycles, reduce fertilizer costs for a following year’s corn crop and improve weed control for tough spots in the field. Side benefits include improved water quality and soil health. Sarah Carlson, Midwest cover crops research coordinator with Practical Farmers, says farmers who have started with a cereal rye cover crop and want to try something new might want to consider growing oats as a cash crop. “The summer oats harvest then allows them to plant a 12-way mix, which is a cover crop mix featuring

12 species specifically designed to add organic matter, reduce compaction, improve water infiltration and add to soil fertility.” Typically, applying for just the extended crop rotation practice does not provide enough financial assistance to interest farmers,” she says. “But by bundling that with the cover crop practice, farmers will receive enough to help get them over the initial start-up costs of adding this diversity to the landscape.” After applying for financial assistance, farmers are encouraged to join Practical Farmers’ newly launched Small Grains in the Corn Belt project. Last year, with the aid of industry experts, seven farmers learned ways to improve oat production and where to access markets for their harvested grains. To learn more about Practical Farmers’ Small Grains in the Corn Belt project, contact Sarah Carlson at 515-232-5661 or directly at sarah@ practicalfarmers.org. The Environmental Quality Incentives Program is a voluntary conservation program that provides agricultural producers with financial and technical assistance to implement structural and management conservation practices.

HOLIDAY HACKS:

Simple seasonal solutions FAMILY FEATURES

he air is getting cooler, leaves are changing colors and days are getting shorter. All of these seasonal changes signal that the holidays are fast approaching. While many people love gathering with family and friends at this time of the year, entertaining can take the jolly out of the holiday. This year, take the stress out of hosting with these five simple holiday hacks. Buy in Bulk. One month before your holiday gathering, buy nuts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almonds, pistachios, walnuts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in bulk. Pour the nuts into screw-top mason jars, label with brightly colored tape and store in your pantry. When guests stop by, bring out a few jars, unscrew and serve with seasonal cider. Candy Cane Lane. Candy cane flakes work wonders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from holiday drinks to topping off cakes and ice cream. Crush candy canes in a blender or smash between paper towels and store in an airtight container. Simply sprinkle for seasonal ease and festive yum. Double Duty. Buy flavorful refrigerated salad dressings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think sriracha or ranch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and use to top salads or potatoes, or as a quick, delicious dip. One jar offers many solutions. Bee Smart. Be prepared for unexpected gift-giving moments and keep several simple and affordable gifts on hand. Pour local honey into mini mason jars, wrap the neck with holiday twine and include a message that works for all, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have a BEE-autiful Holiday.â&#x20AC;? Tis the Seasons. For entertainment ease, keep versatile products on hand, like Simply Artisan Reserve Simple Seasons, a soft, finely crumbled cheese in a shakable jar. Sprinkle the cheese on flatbreads, sliders, desserts and more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and enjoy the flavor in every bite. With just 15 minutes of prep, you can make a seasonal dessert that looks like you spent all day in the kitchen. For more recipes, visit litehousefoods.com.

Cody Smidt makes a stop against Clarksville’s Koltyn Beckham during last Monday’s Homecoming game.

Wednesday, October 5, 2016 • 9

Noah Paulson is taken down by three Indians as he picks up some yards against Clarksville last Monday.

Thomas Blodgett readies the snap as the Bison face off against the Clarksville Indians for Homecoming.

Bison battle back to Homecoming victory The North Iowa Bison put their first win of the season on the board last Monday night, Sept. 26, during their Homecoming match against the Clarksville Indians, 34-28. The game was delayed from the previous Friday, as life was disrupted in the Clarksville area due to heavy flooding. The Indians came to play on Monday, however, as they led the Bison by 10 points going into halftime. The Bison turned it around in the second half, however, where they scored four touchdowns to cap off their Homecoming celebration with a win. Spencer Armstrong led the Bison for the night with 22 points, as he rushed for 150 yards and passed for 111 yards. He also led the team in tackles with five solos and 10 assists. Austin Haisman had two receptions for two touchdowns and 69 yards, and he also pulled down two interceptions.

“I think it was great that our kids made some great plays in some key situations,” said Bison Head Coach Graig Eichenberger. “Defensively, we played our best game of the year; the kids gang tackled and attacked. I’m just really proud of the kids for playing a whole game. When we were down 16, it could have been easy for the kids to hang their heads, but they didn’t, and they ultimately earned the win.

The Bison played their second game of the week last Friday, Sept.

30, when they traveled to Janesville. The match proved to be North Iowa’s highest scoring contest of the season so far, but the Bison still weren’t able to keep up, as they lost 41-63. Armstrong completed 10 passes for the night for a total of 220 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for 126 yards and an additional three touchdowns. Haisman had nine catches for 197 yards and two touchdowns. Noah Paulson had one catch for 23 yards and a touchdown. Haisman led in tackles with nine solos and five assists. “We didn’t sustain enough drives, and we didn’t stop them enough times,” said Bison Head Coach Graig Eichenberger. “Janesville is a very athletic team, and that tends to give us some troubles defensively. Offensively, we scored 41 points, and that is our season high against a very good team. Defensively, we’ve got to stop guessing and make our

reads. “I’m proud that the boys kept fighting the whole game,” said Eichenberger. “Falling down by two scores right before half put us in a hole, too. Against teams like this, it comes down to who can get a cushion, because both teams were having trouble stopping each other. This week against Tripoli, we will face a very similar opponent. To be successful, we’ll have to do a better job defensively and make sure that we maintain as many drives as possible.”

Mackenzie Bengtson makes a dig during a tough match at Lake Mills last Tuesday.

Ladies fall to Bulldogs at Lake Mills The North Iowa Lady Bison faced the undefeated Lake Mills Bulldogs in their only match of the week last Tuesday, Sept. 27, as they lost 0-3 to the conference frontrunners. “We prepared well for them, and our defense was pretty solid; they just have too many weapons,” said Lady Bison Head Coach Sharla Hassebroek. “The first and third games were competitive, but we just couldn’t get going in the second game. We struggled with serve receive and our offense. Our serving was good – Rachel Hassebroek and Kendall Melz were both perfect on the night, 5/5 each. Jessica Govern led in kills with seven, and Jenna Govern had 16 assists. We are proud of the girls for playing aggressively and never giving up.” Set scores for the night were 14-25, 5-25 and 15-25.

The North Iowa seventh grade volleyball team picked up three more wins in recent weeks, beginning with a 6-1 win over North Union on Thursday, Sept. 15 in Swea City. Set scores were 21-14, 21-12, 21-14, 1721, 21-11, 21-4 and 21-13. Top servers were: Laura Wubben 37/38, Leah Kramersmeier 31/34, Korra Marr 10/11, Shayla Heetland 9/10 and Elise Hinders 10/12. The seventh graders won 7-1 when they hosted Northwood-Kensett on Monday, Sept. 19. Set scores were 13-21, 21-11, 21-13, 21-9, 22-20, 21-

3, 21-16 and 21-16. Top servers were: Korra Marr 17/22, Shayla Heetland 7/10 and Leah Kramersmeier 28/33. The girls performed well again on Thursday, Sept. 22, when they defeated Belmond-Klemme 6-1 in Buffalo Center. Scores were 21-8, 21-7, 21-17, 21-18, 21-13, 18-21 and 21-18. Top servers were: Leah Kramersmeier 22/27, Korra Marr 19/21, Emma Duve 19/26 and Aleigha Gross 6/8. The eighth grade girls went 1-2 against those same three opponents, as they lost to North Union 2-5 on

September 15. Leading servers for North Iowa were: Paige Goodnight 24/24, Hannah Boekelman 18/19 and Chloe Banks 14/15. “We had a lot of great serves that night, we just couldn’t move feet quick enough to the ball, but the girls played their hardest, and I was happy with that and how well they served,” said Coach Sophia Rodriguez. The eighth graders won their contest against Northwood-Kensett on September 19, as they went 4-2. Top servers were: Hannah Boekelman 21/22, Kali Bengtson 21/23 and Ken-

dall Kahler 16/17. Against Belmond-Klemme on Thursday, the eighth graders lost 2-4. Kali Bengtson served 19/22, while Hannah Boekelman served 15/19. “We had difficulty communicating with each other during these matches, but once we started to be aggressive and started talking, we started to play well,” said Coach Rodriguez. “Our last match against Belmond was a close one; the girls put up a good fight. Last score was 21-23.”

North Iowa played in its first volleyball tournament this season on Saturday, Sept. 24, as the Lady Bison faced six opponents at Bishop Garrigan. North Iowa went 2-4 for the day, with wins over Bishop Garrigan and Eagle Grove. “After a long week of Homecoming activities and games on Tuesday and Thursday night going five games each, we were worried the girls would be exhausted, but we were pleasantly surprised with their awesome effort all day,” said Lady Bison Head Coach Sharla Hassebroek. “We came out right away and got a little revenge on Bishop Garrigan, who had just beat us in five games the Tuesday night before. We beat them in two sets with the help of great serving and a couple big blocks early in the game to set the tone. Scores over Bishop Garrigan were 2112 and 23-21. Jessica Govern had eight kills, and Rachel Hassebroek served 10/11. “Next, we met up with a very tall Clarion-Goldfield team,” said Coach Hassebroek. “We split the first two games with them but ended up losing the third game, 14-16. It almost felt like a win, because the girls played really well. Our serve receive was excellent in this game – something we work on every day. It’s nice to see the hard work pay off.” Set scores against the Cowgirls were 14-21, 21-17 and 14-16. Kendall Melz led in kills with eight. Jessica Govern served 10/10 with two aces, while Cas-

sidy Sachs was 10/10 with one ace. “We played a much improved Eagle Grove in the next match and beat them 2-0,” said Coach Hassebroek. “Our serving was the key to this game. We missed very few serves and tallied eight aces. We meet up with them in conference play this Tuesday night at home.” North Iowa’s scores against Eagle Grove were 21-13 and 21-12. Rachel Hassebroek served 12/12 with three aces. She and Kendall Melz each had three kills. “Going straight into our fourth match with Lake Mills was the most difficult one of the day,” said Coach Hassebroek. “Lake Mills is a talented team with many weapons. We just really couldn’t get our offense going. The one bright spot was our serving; we only missed one serve and got two aces.” Set scores against Lake Mills were 6-21 and 10-21. Jessica Govern served 4/4 with one ace, and she had three kills. Next up was Garner-Hayfield/Ventu-

ra. “We split the first two games with them, and then tired legs and hunger took over,” said Coach Hassebroek. “It’s difficult to play five matches in a row, with no breaks. We lost the match 2-1. Our serving continued to be solid, and our offense was good, with Kendall Melz putting down seven kills along with Jessica Govern and Rachel Hassebroek each getting four kills. Our defense was solid as it has been all season.” Scores against GHV were 21-17, 1721 and 4-15. “After a much needed break, we played our last match of the day against Manson-Northwest Webster,” said Coach Hassebroek. “We started off tough against a very scrappy team. Near the end of the first game, our middle hitter, Krista Schutter, went down with a knee injury. Although it’s hard for a team to come back on the floor and play their best after a teammate is injured, the girls did just that and won the first game, 25-23. We battled

through the second game, and Mackenzie Bengtson came off the bench into a position she was not completely comfortable in and did a fantastic job! We ended up losing the game and the third one, too, but we are very proud of the girls for never giving up and always supporting each other.” Set scores for the final match were 25-23, 17-21 and 5-15. Bengtson had four aces, and Melz had six kills. The next tournament for the Lady Bison will be their home tournament this Saturday, Oct. 8 in Buffalo Center.

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.

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

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.

Free online Beef Quality Assurance certification

The Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program is offering free online BQA Certification for the fourth consecutive year. This opportunity is open to all beef and dairy producers, veterinarians, allied partners, agricultural educators and students until November 13. Beef Quality Assurance provides cattlemen with the tools they need to produce the safest, highest quality beef in the world while also looking at ways to make their operations more efficient and productive. The BQA Program is the gold standard of livestock handling and animal welfare programs to demonstrate the industry’s commitment to continually improve the sound production practices most cattlemen use every day to build beef demand. The online BQA program has customized programs specific to cow/ calf, stocker, feedlot or dairy operations. These easy-to-use modules teach sound management techniques they

can apply to their operation to produce safe, wholesome and nutritious beef. The cattle industry has embraced BQA because it is the right thing to do; and it also helps cattle operations tell their story to consumers who might not understand all of the safety measures cattlemen take in producing the food on the table. Those interested in taking advantage of this free online BQA certification opportunity should start at www. animalcaretraining.org for the online modules. Click on Beef Quality Assurance and Beef Cattle Care or one of the other eighteen categories available (Comprehensive Beef Quality Assurance–recommended), register and enter code: BIVIBQA for your payment method. After all videos within a specific category have been observed with quizzes passed successfully, you will become BQA certified. For more information, contact Doug Bear, Iowa’s BQA Coordinator at doug@iabeef.org or 515-296-2305.
