Back 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 and were wounded in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. 2016 marks the sixth year of
time they spent defending the freedom of this country.” It is with all of the emotional and physical injuries in mind that the Hunting with Heroes weekend is planned. While the scope of the event seems to grow every year, the foundation of the event is to give the visitors the chance to forget about their injuries and tours of duties and have a weekend where “Everything is Taken Care of.” This year’s event started with an amazing welcome from the Iowa State University Athletic Department. After being outfitted in Iowa State apparel by local sponsors, the seven attendees were welcomed by Iowa State Men’s basketball coach Steve Prohm and the entire #20 ISU Men’s basketball team at a private practice. The Marines were invited to attend the pre-game meal with the team, where they received photos and autographs. A memorable moment for the group was when the ISU coaching staff asked the Wounded Warriors to autograph an ISU Ball for the team. ISU Coach Micah Byers commented, “We are commonly asked for autographs, but we are the ones
that should be getting autographs from you!” After the basketball practice, the group was whisked away to Hilton Coliseum, where they were warmly welcomed by the Iowa State Women’s Volleyball Team. The team engaged with the Marine visitors and welcomed them to attempt to try their hands at volleyball. The brave Marines gave it their best to return and block spikes from the ISU front row – and ultimately left with a great appreciation for the power and athleticism of these elite female athletes. After the volleyball practice, the group attended the Iowa State Men’s basketball game that night and were honored at halftime with a standing ovation and round of applause for their service and their sacrifices. “The visit to Iowa State seems to get better each year,” said event organizer and ISU Alum Jason Becker. “This year’s welcome by the men’s basketball and women’s volleyball teams were amazing, as they truly went out of their way to make our guys feel special. All the players and coaches really embraced our Marine visitors and treated

this annual event, and while this year’s event was similar in scope to the events of past years, organizers indicate that the 2016 event was the most impactful and memorable yet. As in the prior five years of the event, “Hunting with Heroes” worked closely with the United States Marine Corps to find Marines that had been injured in battle and that were in need of time away from rehabilitation of their physical and emotional injuries. 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: SSgt. Jay Lippmeier, Cpl. Dustin Palmer, LCpl. Justin Camp, and LCpl. Jose Rodriguez. In addition to the four new visitors, three Marines from past years came back to assist with the logistics and execution of the event as alumni members. Organizers indicate that involving past alumni is key, as the alumni attendees immediately create a sense of ease and comfort for the new Marine attendees. It is also in the alumni members that organizers and volunteers often see some
of the most drastic changes and impact from year to year. “What some people may not understand about our visitors is that it takes a special breed of individual to be a Marine,” said the Beckers. “While they are often rough and macho on the outside, and are known to enjoy a good time, deep down they hold onto a lot of painful memories and visions from their tours. When the Marines visit for the first time, we seldom see cracks in the ‘macho’ exterior. Only after a relationship with the volunteers and community is established do we really get to understand what these guys have been through. These are the moments and breakthroughs that many never get to see that make this event so special. The late night toasts and tears for fallen comrades, the stories of friends loved and lost, the lingering emotional scars of the horrors of war that revisit them in the evenings are the moments that are shared and cherished by Marines and volunteers alike each year. It is in these times that it becomes clear that these men are both battle hardened and uniquely vulnerable as a result of the
them as members of the Cyclone family. The way they honored our guests was first class and will be memorable for these Marines for years to come!” Another new wrinkle to this year’s event was made possible by a new supporter that had a tremendous impact upon the event. At the 2015 Hunting with Heroes event, organizers were approached by Winnebago Industries employee Zach Raulie, who was eager to get involved. With Raulie’s help, Winnebago became a critical piece of the success of this year’s event by providing four luxury coaches that would serve as home base for the seven Marines. This addition to the weekend was critical, as it allowed the Marines to stay near one another, in addition to making the weekend’s logistics much simpler due to the fact that the coaches were hosted in Lakota by Joe Schutter with full power and sewer hookups. It was a luxurious and convenient addition to the weekend that the Marines couldn’t say enough good things about. The next day started the hunting portion of the weekend, and as many HEROES to page 2

Local painters McGrady and O’Connor join forces By Andrew Shaw Two local painting companies have combined into one, as Chuck McGrady and Kim O’Connor are now working together as McGrady/O’Connor Painting and Decorating, LLC. McGrady started McGrady Painting & Decorating back in 1973, while O’Connor started O’Connor Painting & Cleaning in 1999. The two had been talking about combining their operations for about a year, which will allow them to split up some of the duties of the business. O’Connor will primarily be the one handing the crew, which now includes four full-time employees and two part-time workers, while McGrady will handle the book work, which O’Connor is happy to give up. The duo is also teaming up with Carol Heesch of Homestyles Consulting & Decorating in Titonka.
Heesch, a retired banker, says she’s always done decorating as a hobby, but she started doing it professionally in 2013. O’Connor and Heesch have been working together since 2014. Heesch can help people pick out household décor and colors, as well as things like cabinets and window dressings. She can decorate a new home, freshen up an existing space, or pick out décor just for the holidays.

Way back when 10 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, November 23, 2006 8th annual Giving Tree Project – The holiday season reminds us what is most important in our lives: our faith, our families and our fellowman. Starting November 20, Giving Trees will be set up in the Farmers Trust & Savings Bank, Buffalo Center and Lakota; Titonka Savings Bank, Thompson and State Savings Bank, Rake. In addition Individuals may go to the Buffalo Center Post office this year. Delegates from the North Iowa High School FCCLA Chapter attended a National Cluster meeting in St. Louis, MO last week. These meetings are an exciting opportunity for members from across the country to experience a nationally sponsored FCCLA meeting. 20 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, November 21, 1996 The ice storm that hit this area Friday, November 15, began the night before with rain mixed with light snow, thunder, and lightning which continued through the night. By midnight, the rain had turned to ice. Most area schools closed for the day.
The Algona Nativity Scene opens for the Christmas season on December 1-31. Be sure to come and see it. 30 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, November 20, 1986 Blue Earth physicians gave the Medical Center building and property to the Buffalo Center City Council in behalf of the people of this community. It is located on 5th Ave SW, east of the South Mill Road. Eleven athletes will report for their 86-87 wrestling squad on Saturday, November 22. Gary Hoover, the new wrestling coach, said that the boys are working very hard. Coach Hoover said that wrestling is one sport where the boy is on his own once he is on the mat. 40 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, November 25, 1976 Plans are under way for a formal program preceding the opening of the newly re-constructed Highway 9. The officers of the Community Betterment Club are making final arrangements for the program here on Wednesday, December 1. The Bison debate team of the Buffalo Center Community School has continued to participate in the
area meets. According to Coach Jim Denekas, they have fared well in the competition at Emmetsburg, November 20, with a perfect 4-6 win record while addressing themselves to the affirmative side. 50 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, November 24, 1966 Mr. and Mrs. Ben Hall, owners of Hall’s Flowers here in Buffalo Center for the past nine years, have sold their flower shop and greenhouse to Mr. and Mrs. Merrill Albers who will take over on December 1. 45 men arrived at the Don Berhow farm on Monday morning to help work the fields for Mr. Berhow as he is in the hospital.

Winnebago schools received $89,688.22 in school aid. Buffalo Center received $19,989.23.
As we have witnessed this year more than any other, life is about change. Whether change is brought about with much hand-wringing or embraced as a bold, new challenge, change can only be successful if it walks arm-in-arm with its old (and often overlooked) friend: Patience. Farmers have had a long-standing relationship with Patience. The Dutch proverb, “An ounce of patience is worth a pound of brains” serves a farmer well in hard times. Did they hit yield targets, lock in a price, only to watch the market suddenly spike? Were they expecting a record harvest, until torrential rains washed it all away? Did avian flu hit their poultry barn, a devastating loss emotionally and financially, and now they have to start over? It’s why Patience is an old friend of the Iowa farmer. Farmers call on Patience when working the land, and their knowledge, honed by generations of experience, helps them embrace the challenge of improving land and water. And, record numbers of Iowa farmers are making conservation progress. Yet, those who claim water quality improvements aren’t happening fast enough, are not only ignoring progress, they’re effectively turning their back on the one thing required for making progress: Patience. Farmers who commit to installing expensive conservation practices to improve water quality know this firsthand; they are experiencing an extensive backlog of paperwork and red tape from the federal government that has significantly slowed conservation progress. Just ask Carol Miller. The longtime Ankeny family farmer has been working for two years on adding two major conservation practices to their farm: a bioreactor and a saturated buffer. The bioreactor they want to install on their crop farm is a 40-foot-wide, 100-foot-long pit, lined with plastic, filled with wood chips that serve to filter nitrates out of water before they enter the watershed. The saturated buffer is a grassed, middle-of-the-field buffer strip that slows and filters rainfall from their fields, before the water goes into a drainage area. The bioreactor would cost anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 to install; the saturated buf-
Organists’ guild honors area musicians Nearly 200 organists and other church musicians from northern Iowa were honored during a special worship concert on Sunday, Nov. 6 at First United Methodist Church in Mason City. The event was put on by the North Iowa Chapter of the American Guild of Organists to honor organists, pianists, choir directors and music directors who have served for 25 years or more in area churches. “To date, more than 180 musicians have been designated, but the list is by no means complete, said Mary Jane Crail, chapter secretary. “These are people who have provided the music for countless worship services, weddings, funerals, baptisms, confirmations and first communions, children’s programs, Christmas, Easter; spending hours planning, rehearsing, repeating, transposing, filing and traveling. And they would be the first to say ‘To God alone be the glory.’” Those being honored from Buffalo Center churches include: Jan Missman, who performs at various churches, and Carole Kettwick, Ruth Ann Milbrandt, Marlene Krull and Mary Ann Olsen, who all perform at First Reformed Church. From Thompson, Janine Tweed and Amy Thorland were recognized for their contributions at Bethany Lutheran Church. Cynthia Johnson was recognized for her work at Zion Evangelical of
Organists from our area who have played for 25 years or more were among those being honored in Mason City on November 6. Thompson and Scarville Lutheran Church.

fer is estimated to cost anywhere from $5,000 to $6,000. Making it all happen during a down-turned Ag economy, where farmers know they’ll lose money on the crops before they’re even out of the fields, takes a little assistance. It’s why the Millers worked with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) experts to apply for state and federal funding to help defray the costs. Applying for cost share conservation funding is encouraged by all who call for a big ramp-up in conservation practices, which, by the way, is pretty expensive. And this is where Patience comes into the picture. The Millers worked with their local NRCS office to apply for cost share funds and were approved. Their soybean harvest was out of the fields. They contacted a young farmer, Jacob Handsaker, who has a certified excavating company and specializes in conservation installations. The weather was looking good. But the application itself, and the funds attached, was in limbo. Faced with multiple jobs and a waiting list, Handsaker couldn’t just leave the equipment parked on the land. The application is tied up in the review process, despite the best efforts from local NRCS staff. Paul Miller (no relation to the farming Millers of Ankeny) works with the Polk County NRCS. He does his best to keep the farmers moving forward on conservation. He also advocates for Patience, because he knows the funding approval is in the hands of government, and if you’ve ever had to work directly with the federal government, you know they don’t move fast on anything! It also takes time to make sure the conservation practice that the farmer wants to use will work. And not just for this year, either. “You have to talk about it with the producer, hear how they plan to manage the conservation practice, because they do require management. It may be different for every farm and every field, and you have to ask, do you have the right equipment? There are a lot of variables they have to cover,” says Miller. Miller, who is one of just two NRCS employees working with all the farmers in the area, does his best to help farmers interested in adding conservation practices to their
farms. He walks them through the whole process, which is complex and often frustrating, from beginning to end. “The paperwork takes a lot of time, too; once we go through it and work up a plan. It’s more complex for a structure like a bio-filter, so what we’re doing now is going out and surveying, doing preliminarily engineering to make sure it will work,” says Miller. Bio-filters and saturated buffers are just two of many measures farmers use to make measurable progress in reducing nitrates in the watershed, which farmers must do. Putting those practices in the field takes expert help, as engineers, planners and excavators know, all too well. “In order for us to get this bioreactor done, I had to design an entire topographical map, create a tile plan, structure that plan with a 1% slope on tile that is going into the top of this bioreactor. It’s not just something that someone can come along and say, ‘Let’s put a bioreactor here.’ It’s not that easy. It has to be done right,” says Handsacker. Patience, indeed! The good news is the enthusiasm and determination to improve water quality is growing, because farmers will not be deterred, despite a down-turned Ag economy, application stalls or funding shortages. “We’re in it for the long haul, want to do our part, control erosion, and it takes time. We know that. We’ve been working on this for more than two years. It’s like the continuing saga, of always evolving the plans to suit the weather, the topography, soil type; there’s a lot of things to factor in, and you have to be compliant. We’ve done four different plans on this farm because things keep changing. And now, it may be spring before we can do this. I really think buying a car is a lot easier!” says Carol Miller. Thanks to farmers’ commitment to the land, and Patience, progress is happening, and more will continue. That’s because farmers never lose sight of the fact that while embracing this challenge is worth it, it won’t be without hurdles. After all, “Patience and diligence, like faith, move mountains,” said William Penn. We’re continuing the climb, but we’re getting there. Laurie Johns is Public Relations Manager for the Iowa Farm Bureau.
HEROES from page 1 pre-season reports indicated was possible, the Marines enjoyed some fantastic hunting in the area. Local landowners Lee Kiewiet, Bernie Becker, Dale Helgeland, Doug Murra, Kenny Neumann, Mike Larson, Blake Berg, Dave Ley, Brad Engelby and Kel Koppen provided access to some fantastic land for hunting this year. In addition, the group was blessed with some fantastic dog handlers, as Bruce VanGerpen, Chris VanGerpen, Lee Kiewiet, Ryan Silber, Bernie Becker, Zach Raulie and Casey St. John provided German Shorthair pointers, German Wirehair pointers, English Pointers and Black Labs for the finding, pointing and retrieving of downed birds. As in previous years, many comments were made by the Marines that that they loved the hunting but equally enjoyed watching the dogs find, point and retrieve the birds that were downed. Both days ended with each Marine securing their own limit of three rooster pheasants, which tested even the most trained Marine marksman. Ultimately, the “Hunting with Heroes” weekend concluded with a Veterans Appreciation Banquet at the Eagle Center in Lakota, with the seven Marines as the guests of honor. The Marines received handmade quilts from the Heartwarmer’s Quilt Guild, as well as letters from grade school children from Estherville that thanked them for their service. All of this was in addition to the generous gifts that they received from the dozens of local businesses and individuals that provided funds for shotguns, gun cases, clothing, transportation, ammunition, food and lodging for all seven of the Marines. This year’s banquet hosted nearly 500 local veterans, spouses, widows, sponsors and volunteers, making for the largest banquet in the history of Hunting with Heroes. Those in attendance were treated to the presentation of the colors, participated in the pledge of allegiance, and they enjoyed the national anthem and music by Morgan Kahler throughout the evening. During the banquet, all area veterans were honored with various recognitions and gifts, as well. While the seven Wounded Warriors were definitely the focal point of the weekend and event, honoring local veterans and widows of veterans has become an annual tradition that was once again highlighted
during this year’s event. Ten local veterans from past conflicts that earned Purple Hearts were honored and given personalized quilts from the Quilts of Valor group from the local area. One of the moist poignant moments of this year’s event was the standing ovation that greeted the Purple Heart holders as they received their quilts. In addition, Hunting with Heroes founders Jason and Bernard Becker were honored near the end of the banquet by the visiting Marines with some words about the impact of the event, and the Marines presented them with a certificate and plaque from the commanding officer from Camp Lejeune for their efforts in support of Wounded Warriors and the US Marine Corps for the past six years. The program wrapped up with various presentations to local attendees made possible by supporters. The first presentation was for two $250 dollar gift cards to Nyman TV for widows of veterans in attendance, followed by a drawing for Three “Old Henry” Commemorative Rifles drawn from the names of all local veteran attendees. Next, a moving presentation was made in honor of longtime Lakota resident Roger Becker, who lost his battle with cancer in 2015. Organizers awarded the second annual “Roger Becker Memorial – Top Gun Award” to recognize the best Marine marksman of the weekend. Nearly all of Roger’s family was in attendance to present the award to Cpl. Dustin Palmer, who was recognized as the best shooter of the weekend. As the event concluded for another year, organizers were once again humbled by the local community support and contributions that made 2016 one of the most memorable events to date. “We may sound like a broken record, but this is a life changing event for the Marines that we host each year,” said the Beckers. “This event reminds our active/wounded military that this country still cares for them and their wellbeing. This event could not be done without the love and support of our local community that welcomes these guys with open arms and makes sure that these heroes have all of their needs taken care of. The people of northern Iowa are what make this event possible each year, and as long as there are servicemen and Wounded Warriors in our presence, we will do our best to continue this annual event to ensure they receive the recognition and honor they deserve.”

Peake. After Bible study, we played ball toss, and then I gave hand massages. At bingo this week, we had 25 residents and gave out 14 prizes. After bingo, we played Yahtzee, had a snowflake craft and took a trip to the zoo. Friday, we exercised to Sota Grass. Eugene Sauer won our first game on Wii bowling with a score of 193, and Lydia Charlson won our second game with a score of 195. After bowling, Monica played sticky ball. What a fun afternoon we had here. We had a tailgate party. The kitchen served hamburgers, brats, hot dogs, nacho chips and dip, veggie platter, and a pumpkin dessert. We also had Pepsi, beer and lemonade. Thank you, ladies, for the awesome food. The game of the day was basketball. We would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Agnes Christ, 91, died Friday, November 18, 2016, at the Westview Care Center in Britt, where she had been a resident the past four months. Funeral services for Agnes Christ will be held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, November 23, at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Lakota, with Pastors Judy Wozniak and Judy Junkermeier officiating. Burial will be in the St. Paul Lutheran Cemetery. Agnes Bernice (Schutter) Christ was born to William and Anna Schutter November 5, 1925 in the house of the farm place where she was raised. Agnes was the oldest of eight children, each of whom preceded her in death: Therese, Marvin, Kathryn, Franklin, Leanna, Wilda, and William, who was stillborn. Agnes enjoyed being close to all her many aunts, uncles and cousins throughout her childhood and adult life, always enjoying Sunday impromptu visits to different relatives and all the annual reunions. Agnes’ brother Marvin and her sister Leanna were killed in a tragic auto accident when they were children. That same accident severely injured her mother, Anna, who later died of breast cancer in her early 40s, leaving Agnes as the main reliable helper to her father and for her siblings. As a farm girl, Agnes worked very hard to help with all the housework, cooking, cleaning, as well as helped milk cows, feed the hogs, chickens, ducks and geese her parents raised. Agnes was a skilled musician, having learned how to play the accordion, guitar, piano and organ with only a few lessons from her father. She enjoyed singing German folk music, including polka, waltzes and Christian hymns with her father, mother and siblings, and singing in church choirs, and was very active as a youth and throughout her life in both the Immanuel Lutheran Church, Titonka and St. Paul Lutheran Church, Lakota. Agnes met her future husband, Paul Christ, at his brother’s wedding, where Walter Christ encouraged Paul to “check out Agnes because she’ll make you a good wife”. Within two years after they met, Agnes and Paul were married on December 3, 1947 during a horrendous ice and snow storm at Immanuel Lutheran Church, and, because of the storm, she and her new husband had to spend their one-night honeymoon in her parents’ home which was within walking distance of the church. Paul and Agnes settled on a farm near Lakota and enjoyed a 65-year marriage before Paul passed away January 2, 2013 at the age of 90. Paul and Agnes had five children: William Douglas, Elaine Ann (Hites), Sara Jane (Vriesen), Jeanne Christ (Phillips), and Glenn August. They have enjoyed the love and laughter of many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Grandchildren include: Erich and William Hites, Brian Vriesen and Erin Oian, Ariana, Larissa and Leah Christ. Great-grandchildren include: Isaac and Elliott Hites, Blake and Barrett Vriesen, Macie, Lanie and Ben Oian. Agnes and Paul continued the hard-work lifestyle they’d learned as depression-era children throughout their marriage, living frugally and simply. Agnes helped with every aspect of farming, including and especially the milking of cows and feeding of the livestock and gathering the chicken eggs. She grew a large garden every year, from which she harvested and canned many types of vegetables and sweet corn. Agnes, like her husband Paul, always encouraged each of their children to “get all the education you can”, because the depression-era circumstances of their lives made it difficult for them to continue beyond the 8th grade, even though Agnes completed the 9th grade, but then remained home to help her father after her mother died. Agnes enjoyed her 91st birthday on November 5 in her room at Westview Care Center, Britt with 20 of her family and extended family around her. Agnes, “Aggie” (Schutter) Christ will be missed and long-remembered by all. Arrangements were handled by Oakcrest Funeral Services of Bancroft.

Iowa will improve the customer experience during application evaluations.” Producers can find more information about the updated CSP on a new one-stop shop portal, located at http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/csp. The new CSP offers nearly double the enhancements and conservation practices and better reporting tools to tell producers the results of their conservation efforts on their land. Through CSP, agricultural producers and forest landowners earn payments for actively managing, maintaining, and expanding conservation activities like cover crops, buffer strips, and polli-
nator and beneficial insect habitat – all while maintaining active agriculture production on their land. CSP also encourages the adoption of cutting-edge technologies and new management techniques such as precision agriculture applications, on-site carbon storage and planting for high carbon sequestration rate, and new soil amendments to improve water quality. CSP is for producers who are already established conservation stewards, helping them to deliver multiple conservation benefits on working lands, including improved water and soil quality and enhanced wildlife habitat.

With over 90 percent of harvest complete in Iowa, reports show the 2016 growing season goes in the books as another productive year for Iowa farmers, and the mild fall weather has been ideal for the establishment of post-harvest cover crops. A comprehensive analysis of Iowa agriculture is detailed in a new book released by the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF), compiled by the Iowa office of the National Agricultural Statistics Services (NASS). The 2016 Iowa Agriculture Statistics book shows that Iowa farmers led the nation in corn production last year, with Iowa farmers accounting for more than 15 percent of the U.S. corn crop. The data, based on surveys and questionnaires completed by Iowa farmers from across the state, also show that Iowa’s 2015 soybean harvest was the largest in the nation, accounting for nearly 12 percent of the nation’s soybean production. Additionally, Iowa holds the top spot nationally in pork and egg production and ranks second nationally in red meat production. “The most recent Ag statistics highlight just how productive Iowa farms are. Yields across the state were much above average in 2015,”

ORDINANCE NO. 74 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BUFFALO CENTER, IOWA, BY ADDING PROVISIONS PERTAINING TO ADDITIONAL STOPS REQUIRED. BE IT ENACTED by the City Council of the City of Buffalo Center, Iowa: SECTION 1. NEW SECTION. The Code of Ordinances of the City of Buffalo Center, Iowa, is amended by adding a new section in Chapter 65, section 02, numbered 20, 21, and 23 designating a required stop, which is hereby adopted to read as follows: 65.02 20. Fifth Avenue and Second Street Northeast. Vehicles traveling on Second Street Northeast shall stop at Fifth Avenue Northeast, and vehicles traveling on Fifth Avenue Northeast shall stop at Second Street Northeast when portable four-way sign is in place.

The portable stop sign will be placed at the intersection by a city employee from Memorial Day to Labor Day for the continuous 24 hours a day.
said Dave Miller, IFBF director of research and commodity services. “Many counties recorded all-time record yields in both corn and soybeans.” Additionally, Miller noted the latest statistics show Iowa farmers continue to increase our dominance in pork and egg production and expand significantly beef and other livestock and poultry production in the state. The 119-page book includes information regarding crops, livestock and farm economics to help guide farmers’ planning and decision making for future years. The statistical profile of Iowa agriculture includes state level information, as well as county specific data. “The story behind the new data is that Iowa farmers are providing consumers with an abundance of wholesome, diverse food choices while continuing to produce more food using fewer resources, which benefits the environment,” said Craig Hill, IFBF president. “This degree of productivity is not possible without innovation and being good stewards of the land. The 2016 Ag Stats book quantifies what an agriculture powerhouse Iowa is, where agriculture is the engine driving the state’s economy and providing one in five Iowa jobs.”

Recognizing the impact of community foundations
During the week of November 1218, 2016, the Winnebago County Community Foundation joined more than 780 community foundations across America celebrating Community Foundation Week. For more than 25 years, the effort has raised awareness about the increasingly important role of these philanthropic organizations in fostering local collaboration and innovation to address persistent civic and economic challenges. Community foundations are independent, public entities that steward philanthropic resources from institutional and individual donors to local nonprofits. Since its establishment in 2005, the Winnebago County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa (CFNEIA), has granted over $900,000 to nonprofit projects impacting nearly every aspect of life in Winnebago County communities, including art and culture, education, environment, health, historic preservation, human service, and general community betterment. In 2016 alone, the local committee members awarded 26 grants totaling over $95,000 to projects in these areas. Members of the Winnebago County Community Foundation governing committee are Jonathan Klaassen, Chair; Cheryl Benn; Brian Blodgett; Zach Dillavou; Lisa Durby; Paul Fitzgerald; Cassie Johnson, Ex-Officio; Jenny Kramersmeier; Cory Myer; Teresa Nicholson; Neal Sletten; Brian Vander Wilt; and Kari Wagner. “Community foundations impact lives, solve problems, and improve futures,” said Kaye Englin, CFNEIA President and CEO. “The Winnebago County Community Foundation
is connecting generous, community-minded people to nonprofits who are at the heart of doing good in Winnebago County, and is making grants to innovative and effective local projects crucial to creating stronger communities.” As an affiliate of CFNEIA, the Winnebago County Community Foundation offers unique tax benefits to making gifts that impact the local community forever. Gifts to endowed funds with the Winnebago County Community Foundation supporting Iowa charitable causes are eligible for the Endow Iowa 25% state tax credit in addition to federal tax credits. The Winnebago County Community Foundation currently holds over $575,000 in assets. These dollars are invested and professionally managed to achieve long-term growth by balancing principal protection with distributions to support local nonprofit organizations. Making an endowed gift with the Community Foundation means it will last forever. Community foundations represent one of the fastest-growing forms of philanthropy. Every state in the United States is home to at least one community foundation—large and small, urban and rural—working to advance solutions on a wide range of social issues. Community Foundation Week, created in 1989 by former president George H.W. Bush, recognizes the work of community foundations throughout America and their collaborative approach to working with the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to address community problems. More information on the Winnebago County Community Foundation can be found at www.winnebagoccf.org
Autumn Stargazing program next Tuesday
The Winnebago County Conservation Board will hold an Autumn Stargazing program at Thorpe Park on Tuesday evening, November 29. The program will be held at the entrance to the park, beginning at 7 p.m., and will last 45-60 minutes. Thorpe Park is located five miles west of Forest City on “I”/345th Street. During the program, Winnebago County Naturalist Lisa Ralls will give an informal tour of the autumn

nighttime sky. The summer triangle will be disappearing in the west, but the first of the winter constellations, such as Taurus the Bull and Auriga the Charioteer, will be rising in the east. Year-round constellations such as the Big and Little Dippers, and Cassiopeia, will also be visible. People will learn how to identify these constellations, as well as some of the brighter autumn stars. Fascinating tidbits of information will also be shared about what people are seeing, and star charts will be handed out afterwards to help people identify the stars and constellations once they return home. People can bring along a pair of binoculars, if they’d like, and can also bring along a lawn chair, as well. In case of clouds, the program will have to be canceled, and that announcement will run on KIOW Radio (FM 107.3), as well as on the WCCB web site (www.winnebagoccb.com), the WCCB Facebook page, and the WCCB Twitter feed (@WinnebagoCCB). For more information about the Autumn Stargazing program, people can contact Lisa Ralls at 641-5653390 or at lralls@winnebagoccb.com

The State Library of Iowa has announced that the Lakota Public Library has met the conditions for state accreditation, as outlined in the publication, “In Service to Iowa: Public Library Standards Sixth Edition.” These requirements must be met every three years; the Lakota Public Library has attained them since the year 2000. Achieving accreditation requires a significant, ongoing local commitment to high quality library services. The Lakota Public Library has been recognized for its efforts in all areas of library operations including governance and funding, staffing, library collection, services, public relations, access and facilities. The accreditation is valid through June 30, 2020. “The director and board of trustees of the Lakota Public Library and the city of Lakota are to be commended for this achievement and their commitment to excellence in public library services for their community,” said State Librarian Michael Scott.

Ken (Sam Hassebroek, right), tries to impress his date’s father, played by Noah Melz, with some out of date and inappropriate advice provided by Freddie Eden and Thomas Blodgett. Right: Changing your name to a common word might help you cheat the attendance system in high school, but it can make it hard to communicate with the ambulance dispatcher when your wife is about to give birth. From left are Sidney Walton and Charles Wycoff.
Joey Goetz thought he had a promising candidate to recruit to his college, but he didn’t realize she was a reality TV star who came with a camera crew. From left are: Ben Hassebroek, Joey Goetz, Mia Blodgett, Jeron Koppen and Charles Wycoff.
