Sallie Smith celebrates nearly 40 years of Uniquely Yours with one last open house By Andrew Shaw Sallie Smith is looking to scale back a bit after nearly 40 years in the craft business, but she plans to continue doing the work she loves. Sallie started her business, Uniquely Yours, not long after she and her husband, Tom, moved to Buffalo Center in 1976. That was when Tom had the opportunity to come back to his hometown to teach history and coach at Buffalo Center High School. Sallie makes decorative things for

Benefit for Ben Huber to feature silent auction

A benefit will be held Sunday, Nov. 6 for Ben Huber, who was diagnosed earlier this year with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Ben and his wife, Alison (Ostermann) Huber, were married just last August, and now Ben is scheduled to undergo three years of treatments for Leukemia. As part of the benefit to help with Ben’s medical expenses, organizers are planning a silent auction to coincide with a meal on November 6 at the Heritage Town Center in Buffalo Center. Anyone who would like to contribute something to the auction may contact Denise French at 641562-2109 or 641-590-0502, as well as Joyce Elman at 641-561-2463 or 515-341-2663.

Flu Clinic planned for October 12

Winnebago County Public Health will host a Flu Clinic on Wednesday, October 12 at Titonka Savings Bank in Thompson from 10-11 a.m. Anyone attending is asked to bring their insurance card or Medicare/Medicaid card, otherwise the cost is $25. For more information, call 641-585-4763.

inside and outside the home, including floral arrangements, wooden decorations and painted window screens. Tom helps her with the woodworking and base painting, while Sallie does the decorative painting. She also decorates people’s homes, refinishes furniture and takes special orders. “I absolutely love what I do,” said Sallie. “Very few people can say they still enjoy what they do after 40 years.” In addition to her crafting career, Sallie also held full-time jobs up until four years ago, when she retired from Hancock County Health Care as a home care provider. She says she loved that job as well, but it’s very physically demanding. Sallie says she makes most of the crafts she sells, and she recycles a lot of stuff. She says she doesn’t buy anything that isn’t on sale. She has previously sold her merchandise at shops in Buffalo Center and Forest City, but these days, she’s busy traveling to various craft shows every weekend, and she and a partner also run a store at River Hills Mall in Mankato, MN called Uniquely Yours 2. This is her third year of having the store in Mankato, which opened this year in September near Herberger’s. “I love doing store displays and home displays,” said Sallie. She and her partner, Jackie DeNeui, take turns running the store each day through the end of December. Jackie’s specialty is creating jewelry out of old silverware, and they sell a variety of products by other crafters, as well. Sallie says they’ve had a lot of success with the Mankato store, and for the upcoming holiday season, she will also have some of her items for sale in a shop run by some friends at

The Thompson Public library will present Duffy Hudson in a new one man show on the life and work of Harry Houdini. The show will be held this Saturday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. in the Roundup Room in Thompson. Hudson, a Broadway and television actor, takes the stage as illusionist and magic mastermind Harry Houdini, best known for his sensational escape acts. The audience will be mesmerized as Hudson brings to life Houdini’s personal side, including ventures into film and aviation. Each year, a famous Houdini séance is held on the anniversary of his death, Halloween. Before Houdini died, he promised his wife, Bess, that, if possible, he would communicate with her from “the other side”, using a pre-determined secret code. This dynamic one-man performance explores this iconic event and chronicles Houdini’s desperate plea to be heard and seen from “the other side”.

Buffalo Center man dies in farm accident Sallie Smith shows off a variety of her handcrafted arrangements ahead of her Uniquely Yours open house last weekend. Crossroads Mall in Fort Dodge. Sallie has also held open houses throughout the years at her home in Buffalo Center, where she gets a chance to sell some decorations and catch up with friends. She held what she says will be her final open house in Buffalo Center just this past Saturday. The reason Sallie says it’s her last open house is that after 40 years in Buffalo Center, she and Tom have decided to move to the Des Moines area next year to be closer to their three boys and their families. Their sons, who are all North Iowa graduates, include Shane and his wife, Mandy, of Grimes; Chris and his wife, Jill, of Waukee; and Ryan and his wife, Stephanie, of Adel. The boys all have kids of their own, and Sallie and Tom have a total of 11 grandchildren ages 3-14. “It’s hard for us to move,” said UNIQUELY YOURS to page 2

Sallie’s husband, Tom, helps her create the wooden crafted items she sells, including these welcoming winter signs.

A Buffalo Center man lost his life in an accident at Branstad Farms last Monday morning, Oct. 3. The Hancock County Sheriff’s Office reports that Julian Santos Martinez, 46, died of injuries he suffered after falling down an enclosed silo chute at the farm, located at 3020 Highway 69 south of Forest City. Martinez was pronounced dead at the scene. Hancock County Sheriff Scott Dodd says evidence at the scene suggests that Martinez accidentally fell from a height of approximately 30 feet. The investigation by the sheriff’s office and the Hancock County Medical Examiner’s Office continues. Branstad Farms is owned by Monroe “Monte” Branstad, who is the brother of Iowa Governor Terry Branstad. Departments assisting at the scene included the Forest City Ambulance Service, Forest City Fire Department, Forest City Police Department, Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office and Mercy Air Life.

Fire safety day at North Iowa Elementary

Brad Matson of the Buffalo Center Fire Department puts out a grease fire as North Iowa Elementary students look on, during a fire safety demonstration at the school last Friday morning. The firemen come to the school each October as part of Fire Prevention Week, as they teach kids about fire safety and show them the equipment that firefighters use. The theme of Fire Prevention Week this year is “Don’t Wait – Check the Date!”, as the National Fire Protection Association encourages people to replace their smoke alarms every 10 years.

Buffalo Center (Iowa) Tribune

Way back when

My friend

I was 10 years old and under the covers with my transistor radio; my folks thought I was asleep. When they looked, they saw a lump under those covers, but I was really at the game. Vin Scully had taken me there. Vinny’s retirement makes us remember all he has done for us. Transistor radios filled in the blanks at the game and away. When TV went digital a few years ago, we decided we’d had enough. We’d planned our lives around getting in for the news and sat like zombies through hours of trash in order to see a couple minutes of TV worth watching. TV was worse than shaving or smoking; eliminate a lifetime of it and we could be happy and productive for another ten or twenty years. Instead of being mesmerized a la George Orwell, we worked, looked at birds, read, talked to each other; stuff like that. Now the TVs are smaller, and everywhere. Out in public, we see people dining together looking at their “devices.” Is Big Brother in there commanding them to believe... “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”? Now we are thinking of getting a TV antenna, for baseball. Upon moving to Iowa, I adopted the Cubs as my team because I root for the underdog, Chicago has blues, and it’s close. Now the Cubs are on a tear, and the Dodgers aren’t bad. I continue to think baseball represents life better than any sport. Pick a reason, but I think

it is because there is no clock, there are limitless opportunities for those with ambition, and no one to blame but yourself. I’ve read several articles about Vinny lately that mentioned the transistor radio, after years of believing I was the only one. Could it be that all those sleepy students were pretending to be asleep so they could listen to the Dodger game? Sorta illustrates the value of revisionist history, doesn’t it? Scully is the only living man I’ve known longer than my barber. He started with the Dodgers the year I was born, 1950. He moved with them from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1957. He will call his last game Sunday afternoon with perennial rival, the Giants, who moved from New York to San Francisco that same year. Can you imagine having the same job for 67 years? Do you think Vin Scully always had everything fall into place for a perfect job? No. But he made it right for himself, and we all profited from his effort to please himself through his job to bring this game to our ears. He stuck with it for 67 years. Thank you, Mr. Scully.

The recent death of superstar prospect, Jose Fernandez, makes it all the more moving that Vinny has given so much and also that so much is at stake. Fernandez defected from communist Cuba on his third try. He saved his mother’s life when she fell off the boat. He was jailed after his first two attempted flights to freedom. Another player sparked a parting commentary this year by Vin Scully, as a tiny rebuke to the leftist drivel coming from most other celebrities. Hernan Perez was up to bat for the Brewers (love that name). Scully mused of how Perez might think of the conditions he faces here compared to his home in Venezuela: “Socialism failing to work as it always does, this time in Venezuela. You talk about giving everybody something free and all of a sudden there’s no food to eat. And who do you think is the richest person in Venezuela? The daughter of Hugo Chavez. Hello. Anyway, Oh and Two.” Any comments on these articles are welcome through a letter to the paper or to 4selfgovernment@gmail. com. My blog might interest you as well: www.alternativebyfritz.com

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2015, one in every five American workers will be over the age of 65, and in 2020, one in four American workers will be over 55. Here are a few simple workplace solutions recommended by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) that will prepare a workplace for an older, healthier, and safer workforce. They don’t cost very much, but they can have huge benefits if implemented with input from workers and supported by all layers of management. Prioritize workplace flexibility. Workers prefer jobs that offer more flexibility over those that offer more vacation days. To the extent possible, give workers a say in their schedule, work conditions, work organization, work location and work tasks. Match tasks to abilities. Use selfpaced work, self-directed rest breaks and less repetitive tasks. Avoid prolonged, sedentary work. It’s bad for workers at every age. Consider sit/stand workstations and walking workstations for workers who traditionally sit all day. Provide onsite physical activity opportunities or connections to low-cost community options. Manage noise hazards (including excess background noise), slip/trip hazards, and physical hazards, con-

ditions that can challenge an aging workforce more. Provide ergo-friendly work environments — workstations, tools, floor surfaces, adjustable seating. Install better lighting where needed, and screens and surfaces with less glare. Utilize teams and teamwork strategies for aging-associated problem solving. Workers closest to the problem are often best equipped to find the fix. Provide health promotion and lifestyle interventions including physical activity, healthy meal options, tobacco cessation assistance, risk factor reduction and screenings. Implement coaching and onsite medical care if there are a significant number of employees in close proximity to each other. Accommodate medical self-care in the workplace and time away for health visits. Invest in training and building worker skills and competencies at all age levels. Help older employees adapt to new technologies, often a concern for employers and older workers. Proactively manage reasonable accommodations and the return-to-work process after illness or injury absences. Require aging workforce management skills training for supervisors.

Include a focus on the most effective ways to manage a multi-generational workplace. According to some employers, the average age of their workforce going up drives up the cost of their employee benefits. On the flip side, they say that older workers are very dependable, have a commitment to their job, and bring some wisdom to the job. These are all the traits you want in an employee. Elderbridge Agency on Aging is here to help older workers. The Elderbridge employment specialist helps candidates through the entire job training and job finding process. To become eligible for employment assistance through this new program, the individual must be referred from IVRS, based upon a documented disability that creates an obstacle to employment, and be 55 years of age or over. The job candidate must not be actively involved in any other grant funded employment assistance program such as AARP, SECEP or Experience Works. Please call the Elderbridge Employment Specialist at 1-800-2430678, Extension 7077 for more information.

UNIQUELY YOURS from page 1 Sallie, “but I think it’s a way for us to finally slow down.” She says they want to take time to “smell the roses” and enjoy life with their grandkids. “I’ll continue to do crafts down there, and I’ll continue to come back up here for some shows. I just won’t do as many,” said Sallie. Sallie is originally from Colfax, near Des Moines, so the move will bring her close to her hometown. The Smiths moved into a brand new house on the south end of Buffalo Center just a couple of years ago, as Tom built the house with Darren Beenken. Sallie’s not too worried about moving again so soon, as she always enjoys decorating a new place. She hopes that the house they built here will make a nice home for another family. Sallie says she’s really enjoyed hosting her open houses in Buffalo Center. “I got a lot of support, and it’s a great time to socialize with people,” she said. “People in town have been very supportive of my business.”

Webinar to address common misconceptions about drainage and water quality By Julie Whitson, Jacqueline Comito and Matt Helmers, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa – Iowa Learning Farms has hosted a number of field days in 2016 where farmers, landowners, agriculture professionals and many others have come together to learn about conservation farming practices. At these events, many attendees have had common questions, and sometimes common misconceptions, about water quality and drainage. Matt Helmers will explore some of these misconceptions during the Iowa Learning Farms’ monthly webinar on Wednesday, Oct. 19. The webinar is free, and all that is needed to participate is a computer with internet access. Many have asked what might need to change to reach our nutrient reduction goals. “Many people are surprised by the magnitude of change needed,” said Helmers. “Under some scenarios, we need on the order of 7,600 wetlands and 120,000 bioreactors on the land, in addition to cover crops on over 10 million acres.” The webinar will address common misconceptions about how various practices including nitrogen management, cover crops and perennials work to reduce nitrogen losses. In addition, the webinar will touch on drainage practices that you might

hear about more in the future such as drainage water recycling. Helmers is the dean’s professor in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering at Iowa State University, where he has been on the faculty since 2003. His research and extension activities include studies on the impact of nutrient management, cropping practices, drainage

design and management and strategic placement of buffer systems on nutrient export from agricultural landscapes.

Annual roadside survey results for small game released By Adam Janke, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa – For those living in rural Iowa, the sight of a brood of young game birds, like Hungarian partridge, bobwhite quail or ringnecked pheasant, is probably a common and welcome sight on morning drives down dusty roads. Sometime during August there was a different sight on those roadways, wildlife biologists from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources slowly surveying the roadside. That’s because the Iowa DNR logged 6,000 miles counting birds and rabbits in their annual August Roadside Survey. The results released on Aug. 30 showed little change from last year, a promising result for gamebird populations that have shown population declines in most years of the survey’s 55-year history. Survey data analysis conducted by the Iowa DNR revealed that although there were slight increases or decreases in some regions, almost all of these changes, particularly within the core distribution of each bird’s range in the state, were within the margin of error in the survey. This year’s survey results builds on three consecutive years of relatively strong small game populations in the state after conspicuous declines in pheasants, bobwhites and, to a lesser extent, partridge that had been ongoing since the early 2000s. In fact, the 2016 bobwhite index from the roadside surveys suggests bobwhites are more abundant in Iowa’s southern counties this year than they have

A pair of bobwhite quail escaping wet grass early in the morning. Photo by Adam Janke been since the late 1980s. This relative stability in the state’s resident game bird populations owes to two main factors: favorable weather conditions over winter and during the spring nesting period and the availability of habitat in Iowa’s countryside. With over 95 percent of Iowa’s land area in private land ownership, the stability of game bird and all wildlife populations in Iowa is driven by efforts made to conserve wildlife habitat on working lands by the state’s farmers, ranchers and property owners. Gamebirds like pheasants, quail and partridge need grassy fields to lay their nests, weedy or flower-rich patches for their young to catch insects and grow, and dense, warm

cover like shrubs and brambles to keep warm and escape predators during winter. These important habitats can be found anywhere from weedy spots left by the mower, to shrubby fencerows, timber stands, or entire fields enrolled in conservation programs. Collectively, they ensure the enjoyable sight of a brood of game birds escaping the wet grass on warm August mornings across Iowa each fall. For more information about managing land for game birds and other wildlife, check the resources on the small game program website from the Iowa DNR, a recent Small Farms newsletter article about managing habitat for game birds from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, or the Extension wildlife website.

Both teams run up the scoreboard in Friday night loss for North Iowa

Last Friday night’s game nearly pushed the scoreboard to the limits at Bison Field, as the North Iowa Bison and the Tripoli Panthers found the weak spots in their opponents’ defenses to put 20 touchdowns on the board. Tripoli led after a marathon first half, and the Panthers went on to defeat the Bison in the non-district match, 89-47. “We knew we could score on Tripoli, and we knew that we would have trouble stopping them, and that is exactly what happened,” said Bison Head Coach Graig Eichenberger. “In the end, they made a few stops and we turned the ball over a few times, which didn’t allow us to keep up with their scoring. “Tripoli had a big offensive and defensive line, which helped them control the line of scrimmage at times and made it hard for us to make consistent holes to run through. I think Tripoli also did a very good job of stopping our passing game, which had been trending up the last few weeks, but they had seen those tapes, and that was why they knew what we did well. “On offense, when we were able to block their middle linebacker, we had a lot more success running the

ball,” said Eichenberger. “I think they also focused on our quarterback a lot, which opened up some bigger holes for our tailback this week. Runners picking up yards for the Bison on Friday night included Spencer Armstrong with 18 carries for 137 yards and Noah Paulson with 15 carries for 128 yards. Paulson led the team in tackles, with five solo tackles and six assists. “We are not as good defensively as we are offensively, and we do spend a lot of time working on our defense during the week,” said Coach Eichenberger. “I just want people to know that our kids are working on the things that have been hurting them. This Tuesday, like most Tuesdays we did tackling circuits, with three stations that focus on getting low, tackling around the legs, and running our feet on contact and working on leverage. I’m proud that the boys, through all our struggles, still put in the time to work on these things each week. This week, we face a very big and physical Riceville team; we are going to have to stay low and play tough.”

Three runners medal at Eagle Grove as girls place sixth The North Iowa cross country team competed in the Dick Bell Invitational at Eagle Grove last Tuesday, Oct. 4. Eight schools fielded runners in Class B, where the Lady Bison took sixth place with a score of 179, and the boys’ squad was incomplete. The Lady Bison team was led by medalist Amelia Blodgett, who took 15th place. “The girls’ team got an excellent preview of what district competition will be like,” said North Iowa Head Coach Jonathan Potter. “They faced three ranked 1A schools and some other quality programs. Mia led the way again with her 15th place finish. She has been extremely consistent in her first year of high school racing. Faith posted her best race of the season by rough one minute, while the number 3-5 runners all posted personal records or near personal records, which allowed us to finish in sixth place ahead of two other schools.”

steady in his racing this season – what you’d expect with his experience in cross country. Jordan posted his best time ever by roughly one minute and really competed down the stretch; which is what you want to see as his first season in cross country progresses. “With the conference and state qualifying meets fast approaching, the cross country team would like to encourage as many people as possible to come out and support us in our most important meets of the year. The conference meet is held NIACC and starts at 3:30 p.m. on October 13, while the state qualifier will be held at with a start time of 3:00 p.m. on October 20 in Cedar Falls.”

Jenna Berschman scored five kills over Eagle Grove in the Lady Bison’s conference finale last week.

Jenna Govern contributed eight successful serves, along with 18 assists and three kills last Tuesday against Eagle Grove.

The North Iowa Lady Bison coasted to an easy win against Eagle Grove last Tuesday, Oct. 4, in their final conference match of the regular season. North Iowa topped Eagle Grove 3-0, with set scores of 25-12, 25-11 and 25-13. “It’s nice to close out the conference schedule with a win,” said Lady Bison Head Coach Sharla Hassebroek. “We are adjusting to a new line up, after two of our starters have had knee surgery in the past week, and we’re happy to see the girls did a great job and pulled off the win. “Eagle Grove is a scrappy team with some tall girls who can hit and block,” said Coach Hassebroek. “We prepared by working on hitting around the block

and aggressive serving. Our defense was great and dug out a lot of their hits. Kendall Melz led the way with eight kills, followed by Jenna Berschman with five. Kendall Melz also did a great job serving – 10/10 with three aces. Rachel Schutter went 14/15 with one ace. Jenna Govern had 18 assists. “It’s hard to believe the season is nearing the end,” added Hassebroek. “We are constantly so proud of the effort, hard work and sportsmanship these girls show every day in practice and every night on the court. They are representing our communities well, and we hope to see many of you out supporting them when regionals start next week!”

Fire Prevention Week promotes the North Iowa importance of replacing smoke alarms Scholarship Fund update How often should the smoke may have smoke alarms that have half,” said Carli. “That’s why it’s

alarms in your home be replaced? If you don’t know, you’re not alone. A national survey conducted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) shows that nine out of 10 Americans don’t know how often smoke alarms need to be replaced. The correct answer: every 10 years. As the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week, NFPA is promoting this year’s campaign theme, “Don’t Wait - Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years,” to better educate the public about this potentially life-saving message. “While the public generally knows that smoke alarms play an important role in home fire safety, some smoke alarm messages are not as well understood,” says Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy for NFPA. “Not knowing how often smoke alarms need to be replaced or that they even have an expiration date - are among them.” According to Carli, that lack of awareness means some U.S. homes

outlasted their full functionality, putting people at increased risk in the event of a home fire. NFPA statistics show that three out of five U.S. home fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarms or no working alarms. Key Survey Findings: • Half of Americans (50 percent) have three or more smoke alarms in their current home • Almost one in five Americans who have smoke alarms (19 percent) say the oldest smoke alarm they currently have in their home is 10+ years old • Nearly one in five Americans who have smoke alarms (18 percent) are not at all sure how old the oldest smoke alarm they currently have in their home is • When asked how often they should replace smoke alarms, nine in 10 Americans (90 percent) did not select the correct answer, which is once every 10 years “Working smoke alarms reduce the risk of dying in a home fire in

so important to make sure they’re working properly.” A smoke alarm’s age can be determined by looking on the back or side of the smoke alarm, where the date of manufacture can be found. Smoke alarms should be replaced 10 years from that date (not the date of purchase or installation). In addition, smoke alarms should be tested monthly, and batteries should be replaced when they begin to chirp, signaling that they’re running low. Fire departments throughout the U.S. and Canada play a key role in making Fire Prevention Week an annual success by implementing the campaign in their communities; departments throughout North America will be hosting open houses and other local events throughout the week of October 9-15. For more information on smoke alarms and this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, visit www.firepreventionweek.org

Iowa farm families, who are standing strong against low commodity prices compounded by unfavorable growing conditions. For example, all counties in Iowa have experienced a 32% drop in price below the benchmark price established by the ARC program for corn and a 27% drop in price for soybeans. “Payments by county can vary, because average county yields will differ,” said Whitaker. Statewide, 147,133 farms participated in ARC, and 6,592 farms participated in PLC. More details on the price and yield information used to calculate the financing assistance from the safety-net programs is available on the FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc and www. fsa.usda.gov/ia

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association have announced that eligible beef producers can request an absentee ballot to participate in the referendum on whether the $.50 per head Iowa beef checkoff should be reinstated. The referendum will be held on November 30. Any individual, firm, corporation, partnership or association that has owned or acquired cattle during year prior to the referendum (December 1, 2015 – November 30, 2016) is an “Eligible Beef Producer” for the purposes of this referendum. A person shall not be considered a producer if: 1) the person’s only share in the proceeds of a sale of cattle or beef is a sales commission, handling fee, or other service fee; or 2) the person acquired ownership of cattle to facilitate the transfer of ownership of such cattle from the seller to a third party; resold such cattle no later than ten days from the date on which the person acquired ownership; and certified as required by rules adopted by the council. Producers who wish to vote by absentee ballot may do so by contacting the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. Producers may call 515-281-5321,

email beefvote@IowaAgriculture. gov or visit www.IowaAgriculture. gov and download the form located in “Hot Topics.” The Absentee Ballot Request Form must be signed and returned to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. The producer will then be mailed an Absentee Ballot. Absentee Ballot Request Forms should be received by the Department by November 23, and Absentee Ballots must be postmarked by November 30. A petition to vote on the state beef checkoff was delivered to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship on September 2. The petition contains over 500 signatures of cattle producers in the state of Iowa who are interested in a referendum. If the referendum passes, collection will begin March 1, 2017. The Iowa beef checkoff will be mandatory, but refunds will be available to interested producers. The federal beef checkoff of $1 per head remains in place and would not be affected by the Iowa vote. For more information on how checkoff dollars are used, contact the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association at 515-296-2266 or find out more online at www.iacattlemen.org
