Marilyn Monroe Lookalike Contest Winner Tammy Kiefer is happy to dress up for Chit Chat CafĂŠ owner Richard “Pidgeâ€? Dorenkamp.

Chit Chat Celebrates Marilyn Monroe’s Birthday

By Travis Fischer The Chit Chat CafĂŠ in Thornton hosted a special evening dinner event to once again celebrate the birthday of Marilyn Monroe.

For the third successive year, the Chit Chat invited customers to enjoy their tribute to the famous singer by displaying the many Marilyn Monroe themed items that owner Richard “Pidge� Dorenkamp has accumulated over the years.

Attracted to the entertainer’s beauty, Dorenkamp started collecting Marilyn Monroe memorabilia while on the road as a truck driver. As Dorenkamp’s

collection grew, his friends and family continued to add to it. “If somebody sees a picture of Marilyn Monroe on a jackknife, it comes in here,� said Dorenkamp. “If this stuff has any value, I’m going to die a rich man.�

Several items, such as cardboard cutouts and photos, have been a regular part of the Chit Chat’s dÊcor for decades but for Monroe’s birthday Dorenkamp brought out even more from his collection.

The main entertainment of the evening generally comes from the Marilyn Monroe lookalike contest, however

only one participant entered for this year’s event.

Tammy Kiefer of Thornton may have been without competition, but she still earned her votes, dressing up as the late singer and performing “Anyone Can Say I Love You� for the audience. “I really like dressing up as Marilyn.

She was such an amazing woman,� said Kiefer. “I try to play the character as much as I can.�

Kiefer won two tickets to see “The Styx� in Fort Dodge and a gift basket of chocolates, pearls, and wine.

The event was again co-sponsored by KLMJ radio, who themselves are in the

midst of celebrating their 30th year on the air. KLMJ’s Craig Donnelly was on-hand all evening, hosting the event while broadcasting live from the Chit Chat.

The Marilyn Monroe broadcast was one of 105 scheduled events leading up to the radio station’s 30th anniversary party on September 8. Each event will feature a raffle drawing for an invitation to the final celebration. Joni Suntken of Meservey was drawn as the winner of Saturday’s raffle and will join the other 104 winners in the chance to be awarded a KLMJ 1983 Pontiac Trans Am.

Thornton Purchases School Grounds The Thornton City Council met on Monday, June 3 for their regular meeting at City Hall.

The meeting began with the council taking a look at the city’s new garbage truck. Special note was made of the truck’s Thornton decals, which were partially paid for by a private donation.

City Attorney John Sorensen was present at the meeting to update the council about nuisance property on North 7th Street. The Cerro Gordo Department of Public Health has agreed to assist the city with the cost of demolishing the building due to it being a public health hazard. The city will move forward with demolition once they’ve gained control of the property.

The council also heard back from the Methodist Church about the crumbling parking area in the city right-of-way.

At the previous meeting the council noted that the right-of-way was becoming a tripping hazard and that it would need to be either repaired by the church or graveled by the city. The church reported that they are aware of the problem and have already started looking for asphalt bids to take care of the street.

Nick Pedley joins Mid-America staff The Hampton Chronicle had its second new face join the staff in as many months last week.

Nick Pedley joined new Chronicle Editor Jeff Forward in the Hampton office on Wednesday, May 30.

He is replacing outgoing regional news editor Travis Fischer, who is moving to California at the beginning of July. Pedley will cover Fischer’s former territory in southern Cerro Gordo County and northern Franklin County. He’ll also cover some additional stories around Hampton and the surrounding area.

Pedley is a 2013 graduate of the University of Iowa. He earned bachelor of arts degrees in both Journalism & Mass Communication and Political Science.

Pedley is no stranger to the newspaper business by any means. His family has owned his hometown publication, The Ocheyedan PressMelvin News, for more than 60

years. His grandparents originally purchased the paper in 1950 and his parents later bought it from them in the early 1990s. Pedley worked at the paper in high school and during two summers in college. “I defin i t e l y bleed ink,� he said. “I’m very proud of the newspaper tradition in my family and glad that I could keep it going.�

He also had stints at The Daily Iowan and The Kalona News while in college.

Though he enjoys editorial writ-

ing most, Pedley’s handled nearly everything in the newspaper business. Be it sports, hard news, features or photography, there’s not much he hasn’t dealt with in some capacity or another. “Nick’s enthusiasm for the business is infectious,� said Ryan Harvey, publisher of the Chronicle. “For a young man his age, he is in the unique position of understanding community journalism. He’s an exceptionally gifted storyteller who I believe will fit in wonderfully in the newsroom in Hampton. Rockwell,

and Sheffield.�

Pedley enjoys following baseball and fishing in his free time. A selfdescribed sports masochist, he’s a fan of the Chicago Cubs, the Seattle Mariners, and the Detroit Lions.

He also enjoys spending time with family and friends and tailgating at Iowa Hawkeye football games.

Though he’s only been in town for a little more than a week, Pedley said he’s looking forward to his new position in Hampton. “It seemed like a pretty proactive community when I was checking things out, and I think it will be good fit,� he said. “I’m excited to be back in a small town again.�

Feel free to stop by the office or give Nick a call at 456-2585 ext.

131 or send him an email at nickpedley.map@gmail.com with any story suggestions. He’s eager to get to know the community and welcomes any suggestions.

Great Iowa Treasure Hunt surprises many

in unclaimed property to more than 394,000 individuals since Fitzgerald started the program in 1983. Unclaimed property refers to money and other assets held by financial institutions or companies that have lost contact with the property’s owner for a specific period of time. State law requires these institutions and companies to annually report and deliver unclaimed property to the state treasurer’s office, where it is held until the rightful owner of the property is found. The money could be from forgotten or inactive savings/checking accounts, utility refunds or deposits, uncashed insurance benefit checks, lost stock and dividends or even abandoned safe deposit box contents.

Visit greatiowatreasurehunt.com to see if the state treasurer has property belonging to you.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa school children may be counting the days until summer vacation begins, but they may not realize summer means “back to school� for teachers. Registration is now open for the fourth annual Iowa Family Economics and Financial Education (FEFE) Teacher Training workshop. This workshop focuses on teaching middle and high school educators to use new tools and build their skills to teach financial literacy to their students.

Research compiled by Cynthia Fletcher, a professor and family economics specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, shows that many educators feel they are not well prepared to teach financial skills to their students. “While 89 percent of the teachers surveyed agree that students need financial education, relatively few teachers believe they are adequately prepared to teach personal finance topics,� said Fletcher. “The summer workshop is our direct response to that profes-

sional development need in Iowa.�

In 2012, educators who attended the ISU training workshop were asked to fill out a survey. Only 27 percent felt they were well prepared to teach financial education to their students coming into the workshop. After the course, 87 percent felt that they were well prepared. “These surveys show dramatic change in the confidence and preparation to teach this content after the workshop,� said Fletcher.

The Iowa FEFE Educator Training workshop is Aug. 6-8 at Iowa State University. To register, visit the registration website at http://www.ucs. iastate.edu/mnet/fefe/home.html.

The registration deadline is July 15.

Licensed Iowa educators will receive a discount on the workshop price.

Attendees will receive hard copies of the FEFE curriculum, learn about new technologies and identify ways to customize the information learned during the workshop to fit their classroom.

North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC), through the Council on Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), is now offering a prior learning assessment and an opportunity for people to earn college credit for their non-classroom experiences.

These experiences may come from work, military service, non-credit course, employer training programs, volunteer or community service, or personal experiences. “More and more adults are returning to school to retain their current jobs, to find employment, to compete for higher-paying positions, or to complete a degree they started years ago. But the traditional structure and organization of higher education often makes it difficult for them to stay in school and graduate,� said Lyn Brodersen, Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs at NIACC. “When people receive college credit for what they know from life and work experience, they earn their degrees and credentials faster, saving money on tuition,� Brodersen said. “They also learn the value of their experience, which gives them confidence to complete their degrees.

CAEL helps adults earn college credit for what they already know.�

To be successful in this program, interested people must have the following: High School Diploma or GED; Access to a computer with high-speed internet; Be motivated and have some experience or interest

in online learning; Be self-reflective; Be willing to commit to understanding what constitutes college-level learning; Have college-level competency in written English or be willing to get help by signing up for a 1-semester-hour mastery writing class along with the non-credit Portfolio class.

Other important details of the program: • Those interested must meet with a counselor to determine what NIACC certificate, diploma, or degree they want to earn credit towards. • Enrollment in the NIACC noncredit Continuing Education course “Developing your Portfolio for College Creditâ€? is also required. This course is a self-paced online, noncredit class that guides the person through the preparation and development of their learning portfolio. You would complete this course on your own schedule but must submit your portfolio within six months of the start date of the non-credit course. • After developing your portfolio it would be submitted to CAEL for evaluation of credit. • Up to 12 credits are possible in the same subject portfolio. There is no

The Future Is Now It’s been a couple weeks since the Xbox One announcement but the industry is still churning over the revelations about Microsoft’s plan for the future of gaming.

Not surprisingly though, the bulk of the discussion centers around something not formally announced at the press conference, but during the frantic interviews immediately after. Not impressed with the cable TV features or hand waving controls for the new system, video game journalists hunted down Microsoft employees in a position to speak on a subject conspicuously not mentioned.

Will the Xbox One play used video games?

The answer, unofficially, is ‘No.’ At least not the way gamers are accustomed to.

The prevailing speculation is that games from the Xbox One will follow in the footsteps of the PC industry. For most PC games, a game disk is virtually worthless nowadays. When you go to a store and buy a $60 game for

limit on the number of portfolios you can submit, but a limit of 30 semester hours will be accepted by NIACC. • 50 percent of credits required toward a certificate, diploma, or degree can be earned through CAEL. For more information: NIACC and the Mitchell County Economic Development Association (MCEDA) will host a public information session Thursday, June 13 from 6 – 7 p.m. at the St. Ansgar Rescue Room on W. 4th Street (connected to the fire station).

Anyone who is unable to attend but would like to find out if their knowledge and experience can get them closer to finishing an undergraduate degree is asked to make an appointment with a NIACC counselor. Call 641-422-4207. The counselor will help you determine how your earned credit could apply to a NIACC degree, diploma or certificate.

the PC, what you’re really paying for is the 20-diget activation code. If you read my column regularly, you already know this.

You also know that for some time now I’ve been predicting that the console gaming industry will someday follow suit. Well, today is that day.

Naturally, the Internet is outraged.

This isn’t going to be an easy transition. For the millions of gamers out there who get their games almost exclusively via discounted used retail outlets, or for the few left who just want to rent a game for the weekend, this looks like the end of the line for them. And before you brush off this outrage as nothing more than an overreaction from frothing Internet fanboys, note that GameStop’s stock dropped 19% in the week after the Xbox One announcement. This sort of thing will have very real consequences in the industry.

I understand the outrage. Used games and rentals were major parts of my gaming life growing up. The only thing more exciting than visiting Premier Video or Blockbuster to pick out a game to play for a weekend was tracking down elusive FuncoLand stores in Minneapolis or Des Moines to see what used games they had available.

And even today my little brother’s collection of Xbox and Xbox 360 games consists entirely of pre-owned games and hand-me-downs.

But, at the same time, things need to change. If the used game industry falls, something else will take its

place. In the PC world we’re seeing that already.

Just this weekend I bought “The Walking Dead� as part of the weekly ‘Humble Bundle’ sale. It’s a fascinating economical experiment. Several games are packaged together in a bundle and customers are invited to name their price. Generally the games bundled are lesser known titles that didn’t sell well in the first place, so the developers are literally selling them for whatever they can get.

The kicker is that the amount each customer decides to pay is tallied and calculated into an overall average, and if you spend more than the average they will throw in a more popular game. In this case it was “The Walking Dead,� which was named Game of the Year for 2012 and generally sells for $25. To get it in this week’s Humble Bundle requires beating the average payment of about $5. Some people paid $100. Others paid the bare minimum. I paid $10 and got a game I really wanted along with a bunch that I probably never would have purchased otherwise.

So while I understand the fear that gamers on a budget have over the possibility of used games costing as much as new ones, I’m confident that the industry will adjust itself to fill that void.

Travis Fischer is a newswriter for Mid-America Publishing and is embracing the future‌ as long as it’s at least 50% off.

NIACC Board Invites Public Input during Search for College President The North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) Board of Directors is providing an opportunity for North Iowa residents to provide input as they prepare to search for a new College President. NIACC President Dr. Debra Derr resigns at the end of June and has accepted the presidency of Mt. Hood Community College in Oregon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to know what qualities our North Iowa community members and stakeholders want in the next NIACC President,â&#x20AC;? said NIACC Board Chair, Toni Noah, of Charles City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The NIACC President is a vital position in North Central Iowa. This person leads the College and is also a key partner in area economic growth and vitality. We will accept comments from anyone who has a relationship to NIACC.â&#x20AC;?

A confidential, public survey will be available beginning Friday June 7 and ending at 5 p.m. Friday June 14.

Growing and Using Fresh Herbs I have had good luck growing culinary herbs in pots on my sunny deck.

I have also grown them in the garden in well-drained soil. I enjoy being able to experiment with fresh herbs in my cooking. Plus, you can buy herb plants for about the same price as you buy one bunch at the store.

Below are some brief tips on growing and using herbs. If you want more information, check out From Garden to Table: Harvesting Herbs for Healthy Eating by North Dakota State University.

Basil - Likes sunny sheltered spots. Dark green leaves have sweet flavor with mild pungency. Space 8-12â&#x20AC;? apart. Use with tomatoes; in fresh pesto; pasta sauce, peas, zucchini. Grows well in containers.

Good border plant.

Mint - Has tendency to spread in-

vasively in outdoor gardens. Purple flowers.

Refreshing odor & flavor. Often used as a garnish.

Roots easily from stem cuttings.

Used with carrots, fruit salads, parsley, peas, desserts, spring rolls, salads, sauces.

Oregano - Grows well in containers. Can also propagate from cuttings or division of the mature plant. Use with tomato dishes, beef, spaghetti, clams, soups (bean, minestrone, and tomato), beans, eggplant, and mushrooms

Parsley Grows well in a container. Keep trimmed so plant does not develop flowers. Use with salads, vegetables, pastas.

Rosemary Grows well in a container. Use with chicken, fish, lamb, pork, roasted potatoes, soups, stews, tomatoes.

Herbs should be purchased or picked close to the time you plan to use them. If you grow herbs in your own garden, the best time to harvest herbs is in the morning after the dew is off but the sprigs are fresh. This

helps ensure the best flavor and storage quality.

Fresh herbs can be stored in an open or perforated plastic bag in your refrigerator crisper drawer for a few days. If you have more herbs than you can eat, put them in bouquets either alone or as part of a flower bouquet. Fresh herbs can also be dried and frozen.

She is the oldest of seven children, grew up on a farm and is the mother of two 20 something daughters. She says her daughters used to tell her she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, but now they have their own homes they appreciate some of her money saving tips.

AMES, Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Many people choose baby carrots as their snack. They are healthy, full of vitamins, and are easy to eat and feed to children. But are they safe?

A rumor circling the Internet has surfaced that baby carrots, or baby cut carrots, are dangerous to eat. It claims that when a white film forms on the carrot, it is chlorine coming from the inside of the carrot to the surface. This has alarmed people, and in some cases they have begun to refuse to eat or serve these carrots.

Jody Gatewood, a nutrition specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, says this rumor is a myth. Gatewood explained that the white film that forms on the carrots is a natural occurrence of the carrot drying out. The same occurrence can be seen on other vegeta-

bles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you leave them out, they will turn white,â&#x20AC;? said Gatewood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is not the chlorine.â&#x20AC;?

Gatewood explained that baby cut carrots are cut from regular sized carrots. Next, they are put into a machine that peels the skin and forms them into their short, rounded

shape. The carrots are then washed in a chlorine water mixture to help reduce bacteria and food borne illnesses. Gatewood explained this chlorine mixture is safe because the carrot is then rinsed in potable water. It is â&#x20AC;&#x153;an acceptable food safety precaution.â&#x20AC;? The chlo-

rine water wash is not harmful and is a necessary procedure to protect against bacteria such as E. coli.

Gatewood fears people will be afraid of this nutritious, healthy snack option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need people saying no to vegetables because of a myth,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let a myth turn you away from an easy, healthy snack. â&#x20AC;&#x153; For more facts on food, nutrition and food safety, visit the ISU Extension and Outreach online store, https://store.extension.iastate.edu/.

NIACC Board Invites Public Input during Search for College President

The North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) Board of Directors is providing an opportunity for North Iowa residents to provide input as they prepare to search for a new College President. NIACC President Dr. Debra Derr resigns at the end of June and has accepted the presidency of Mt. Hood Community College in Oregon.

“We want to know what qualities our North Iowa community members and stakeholders want in the next NIACC President,” said NIACC Board Chair, Toni Noah, of Charles City. “The NIACC President is a vital position in North Central Iowa. This person leads the College and is also a key partner in area economic growth and vitality. We will accept comments from anyone who has a relationship to NIACC.” A confidential, public survey will be available beginning Friday June 7 and ending at 5 p.m. Friday June 14.

The purpose of the survey is to provide feedback to the NIACC Board of Trustees regarding perceptions about the characteristics needed in the new president and also what the primary areas of focus should be for the new president.

Anyone who wishes to participate can visit the NIACC web site at www.niacc.edu.

Persons who do not have access to computers or internet may fill out a paper form that will be available at the information desk in the NIACC Pierce Administration Building on the NIACC campus, 500 College Drive, Mason City. Noah asks that all comments be civil and constructive to the process of hiring a president.

Also, three public forums have been scheduled for Tuesday June 11 in the NIACC Muse-Norse Conference Center: •7:30-8:30 a.m.

•12:00-1:00 p.m.

•4:00-5:00 p.m.

For persons who are unable to access the survey or attend a public forum, they are invited to contact search consultant Larry Ebbers: (515) 290-9854.

West Fork FFA Hosts Ag Day for Elementary Children The West Fork FFA chapter held their annual Ag Day Wednesday, May 15. Kids from Sheffield and Rockwell elementary schools came and learned about agriculture and ag safety. This year’s Ag Day was centered around ag safety.

Yes, agriculture is interesting but there are many dangers on a farm.

Different stations taught the kids about agriculture, allowed them to interact with animals, and gave them opportunities to ask questions. The animal stations included beef and dairy cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, small animals, and chicks.

Madison Steenhard from the West Fork FFA said, “I taught them safety, health, and what you get from cattle. It was a great learning experience for all the kids.

I reminded them to thank a farmer when they saw them.” There were also safety stations including ATV safety, lawn mower safety, tractor safety, and grain safety. It was a great day for the FFA members to teach the kids what they know and for the kids to learn and have fun.

The kids also got to enjoy some yummy ice cream, made from dairy cows of course!

Amy Symmens a teacher from the Sheffield elementary said, “I was impressed with the organization and the way the high school students taught the younger students about agriculture. We enjoyed the interaction with the animals and they also enjoyed the snacks. I hope they can do it again next year.”
