Meinders’ boar tops the scales at Iowa State Fair Jake and Zach Meinders of Buffalo Center took the statewide title in the 2013 Big Boar competition held at the Iowa State Fair on August 8.

Otis, a 4½-year-old Hampshire crossbred boar, weighed in at 1,103 pounds to beat out the competition.

Second place went to a 1,067 pound boar from Indianola. The record for largest boar was set last year by Reggie, a 1,335-pound purebred Red Wattle boar.

As champion, Otis was on display at the swine barn throughout the fair, which ended August 18.

Jake says they began grooming Otis for the competition two years ago, when the boar weighed in at about 900 pounds. “I was hoping

he’d weigh 1,100, and he just beat that,� said Jake. Donuts were a special treat for Otis to help him get ready for the competition.

Believe it or not, although it is only August, some of our birds are already preparing to head south for the winter. Some of the earliest fall migrators are our hummingbirds.

And it makes sense that they should get off to an early start; those tiny little birds have a long way to go!

There are over 300 species of hummingbirds, and all live in the western hemisphere. Surprisingly, though, only 16 of those species breed in the US, and only one breeds here in Iowa—the ruby-throated hummingbird. But, true to their tropic nature, when days start to get shorter, our little ruby-throats head south to Central and South America!

Yes, although most hummingbirds weigh less than half an ounce, they migrate thousands of miles each year! They fly by rotating their whole wing, which allows them to hover and even fly backward. But, this way of flying is not very energyefficient, so they must eat copious amounts of food. Of course, nectar is their main food source, and they will often consume more than their body weight in the juice each day.

They will also feed on tree sap, if they can find it, and, to obtain protein, they will eat tiny insects and spiders.

Even though ruby-throated hummingbirds spend their winters in the tropics, they do nest here in Iowa.

Their nest, like the birds themselves, is small, usually measuring not much more than an inch or so across.

It’s constructed entirely by the female, is made up mostly of plant down with lichen on the outside, and is usually attached to a small tree branch by spider silk. Usually, two tiny eggs are laid, each just a little larger than a pea.

Besides their diminutive size, hummingbirds are also known for their beauty and grace. The males are strikingly colorful, displaying iridescent feathers that literally seem to glow in the sun. The females, of course, are not so brightly colored; they must make sure they don’t attract the attention of predators as they’re sitting on the nest. In addition, the hummingbirds’ ability to fly in all directions makes their

flight very graceful and highly acrobatic. And, don’t be fooled by their size; these little birds are quite territorial and can get quite aggressive toward each other, making their antics even more entertaining to watch!

Many people feed hummingbirds, and feeding them is easy to do. It can also be quite rewarding!

You can make your own nectar mixture by dissolving one cup of white, table sugar in 4 cups of water.

(Boiling the mixture will dissolve it better, but make sure you let the mixture cool before putting it outside.) After about 4 days, the mixture may ferment and will need to be changed. Change it, also, if it gets cloudy or moldy. Always use sugar, not artificial sweeteners; the hummingbirds need the energy that only sugar provides. And, yes, hummingbirds are attracted to red colors, but never use red food coloring in your nectar mixture; simply use red colored feeders to attract the birds.

Unfortunately, many people take down their hummingbird feeders after Labor Day, fearing that the feeders will prevent the hummingbirds from flying south. But, the migration instinct is genetically-programmed, and hummingbirds will migrate when their bodies tell them to. It is the shorter day length that triggers the urge to migrate, not a lack of food. A cold snap may hurry them on their way but, by the time the weather gets that cold, they were already headed south, anyway. In fact, many people often take their feeders down, just when the hummingbirds need them the most—as they’re fattening up for their journey south. It takes a lot of energy to complete a trip to South America, and late summer feeders help them along the way! So, the general rule is to keep your hummingbird feeders up for 2-3 weeks after you’ve seen your last hummingbird.

So, as summer winds to a close, make sure to look for those little flying gems as they begin their long journey south. And, if you want to help them out, put a feeder or two out for them. Who knows – maybe they’ll return next year to enlighten your summer with their beauty and grace!

Well, it was a nice week to do lots of fun activities outside. To start this week off, we watched the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles and enjoyed the beautiful weather by sitting outside visiting with family and friends. Pastor Peake was here on Sunday for worship services. Thank you to Pastor Peake. For Sunday night movie, we watched Identity Theft.

Monday, we started our day off with trivia. For our sensory groups, we took the residents outside. At bingo, we had 18 residents and gave out 15 prizes. Since it was such a lovely day, we held our Lets Talk program outside.

Tuesday, we exercised to The Andrew Sisters. At 9:30, George and Darlene came and played the violin and accordion, while singing songs and having the residents sing along.

Thank you to George and Darlene.

We had a salad luncheon that was put on by St. Patrick’s from Buffalo Center. We had potato, macaroni, carrot, fruit, lettuce, Jello salads and fresh fruit. Thank you to St. Patrick’s for a fantastic lunch. During the afternoon and evening programs, we played Ladder Ball and gave hand and back massages.

Wednesday, we exercised to Sota Grass. We held both sensory groups outside again today. During our groups, Monica and I read some short stories and the Buffalo Center Tribune. Today, Kim Williams and I had a special picnic dinner for a group of ladies. Kim prepared baked chicken, baked beans, potato salad, fresh cucumbers and tomatoes. For our anything goes program, we had another popcorn party outside. The game of the day was bean bag toss.

Thursday, we exercised to Big Band Vol. 3. Afterwards, we had Bible Study with Pastor Peake. We reviewed Isaiah 5:1-7, Heb. 11:2912:2 and Luke 12: 49-56. Thank you, Pastor Peake for spending the morning with us. For both sensory groups, we went out outside for social strolls. During the afternoon, we had our weekly spa day, and

Monica had the residents play some rounds of horseshoes.

Friday morning, during one of our favorite exercise groups, we listened to At The Hop. We try to get everyone involved on Fridays. The staff and residents make it is so exciting and fun. At 9:00 a.m., Wii bowling also was a fantastic activity.

Jo Meinders bowled a 185 to win the first game, and Dorothy Gruis bowled a 165 to win the second game. We also had Doug Hanson and Mary Mathews bowl turkeys during our games. Of course, again today, we took the residents outside for our sensory groups. We have truly been blessed this week with the beautiful weather. To end our wonderful week, we had our weekly happy hour.

We have so much to be thankful for and so many people to thank.

Thank you to Gerald Maass, Marion Berschman, Melinda Ellierson, (mom) Eleanor Winter and Harlan Melz for all the fresh veggies and also to Phylis Baade for the cookies.

I’ll have to say it’s been so nice taking the residents outside for as many activities this week as we could. We hope every one else enjoyed this past week as much as we have here at TMNH.

Funding available for on-farm nutrient management Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey recently announced that cost share funds are available to help farmers install nutrient reduction practices. The initial practices that are prioritized for funding this fall are cover crops, no-till or strip till, or using a nitrification inhibitor when applying fertilizer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These funds are available to help farmers take steps this fall to reduce nutrient losses,â&#x20AC;? said Northey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first step of implementing the Iowa Water Quality Initiative, and we have a lot more work to do, but we are excited to start working

with farmers to get voluntary science-based conservation practices on the ground.â&#x20AC;?

The cost share rate for farmers planting cover crops is $25 per acre, and for farmers trying no-till or strip till, the rate is $10 per acre. Farmers using a nitrapyrin nitrification inhibitor when applying fall fertilizer can receive $3 per acre.

Any farmer not already utilizing these practices can apply for assistance. Farmers are only eligible for cost share on up to 160 acres.

Farmers can contact their local Soil and Water Conservation District

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship received $3 million in one-time funding to support statewide science-based water quality practices.

The Department has set aside up to $1.8 million that will be available to support these practices this fall. The funds can be used over the next five years, and it is anticipated additional rounds of funding will be available that will include assistance for additional nutrient reduction practices, including buffers, bioreactors, wetlands, and others listed in the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy.

Winnebago County Extension will host a free Family Storyteller program this fall for parents with young children ages 3-5. This early literacy program is designed to increase the amount and quality of time that parents spend reading with their children.

Pool tournament gives to Lakota groups

Monarch tagging at Thorpe Park The Winnebago County Conservation Board will hold its annual Monarch Tagging event on Tuesday evening, Sept. 3, at the Thorpe Park shelter house, located five miles west of Forest City. The program will run from 6:30-8:00 p.m. and will be free of charge. There is no need to preregister, and the program will be open to people of all ages.

Kelsie Koppen, right, representative of the Lakota Quasquicentennial committee, receives a check for $250 from Theresa Berg of the Eagle Pool Tournament. The next tournament will be held March 1, 2014.

Extension warns against oven canning Preserving food by canning in the oven has been a hot topic this summer, and ISU Extension and Outreach is cautioning people that the process is not safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many individuals have shared with me that they have tried, or have heard about, oven canning. Just because a jar is sealed doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the food inside is safe to eat,â&#x20AC;? said Nancy Clark, Nutrition and Health Program Specialist and a Master Food Safety Advisor for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

Very often, a trusted and wellmeaning friend or relative has shared information about canning in the oven as a simple way to can food.

Others have found information off the internet promoting it as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;quick and easyâ&#x20AC;? method.

Food â&#x20AC;&#x153;processedâ&#x20AC;? in the oven will not necessarily be heated hot enough or long enough to produce a safe product. Oven regulators may not be very accurate, and the hot air in the oven may not circulate efficiently enough to heat the food in the jars. In addition, oven heat is a dry heat which penetrates jars very slowly. Canning jars are not designed for dry heating, either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People spend a great deal of

money, time, and energy canning food,â&#x20AC;? said Clark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is disheartening to tell someone their (improperly) canned food could make someone they love very sick.â&#x20AC;?

ISU Extension urges people not to put their familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health and the quality of their food at risk for the sake of a shortcut like oven canning.

Information on safe home food preservation is available on the ISU Extension website at store.extension.iastate.edu.

Available publications include: Canning Fruits (PM 1043), Canning Vegetables (PM 1044), Canning Fruit Spreads (PM 1366), Canning Pickled Products (PM 1368), Canning and Freezing Tomatoes (PM 638), Canning Meats, Poultry, Wild Game, and Fish (PM 3021), and Freezing Fruits and Vegetables (PM 1045).

For more information, contact your local County Extension Office or call Nancy Clark at 515-341-0261 or email nanclark@iastate.edu.

People can also call ISU Extension and Outreachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AnswerLine at 800262-3804 to talk directly with a Home Economist. AnswerLine hours are Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m.-noon and from 1:00-4:00 p.m.

Buffalo Center EARLY deadline is Thursday Noon.

Win free groceries for a year through America Needs Farmers The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF) recently launched the America Needs Farmers Great Grocery Giveaway, in partnership with the University of Iowa Athletics Department and Hy-Vee. The grocery sweepstakes invites Iowans to meet todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers through video tours of their farms and register for a chance to win free groceries for a year worth $5,000.

Iowans can register for a chance to win by visiting www. americaneedsfarmers.org and taking virtual farm tours; each video they watch earns an entry in the ANF Great Grocery Giveaway while giving them an up close and personal look at five Iowa farm families. Website visitors can register with each of the five farmers each day of the sweepstakes, which runs until noon October 31.

The web-based farm video tours feature five diverse Iowa family farmers who grow corn or soybeans and raise pigs, beef or dairy cows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to be

a part of this because as a family farmer, I believe in the value of transparency and education; most people who enjoy beef today donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live on a farm, but they want to know how we farm, how we raise our animals and how we keep them safe and healthy. It matters a lot,â&#x20AC;? says David Rydberg, a cattle rancher from Essex, who is one of the featured farmers in the ANF Great Grocery Giveaway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I host farm tours, but I know not everyone has the time or opportunity to see a farm for themselves, so this is a great way to bring that farm experience right to them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one way to show who we are, what we do and why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all so important to do the right thing by our land, our community and our livestock.â&#x20AC;?

Following the sweepstakes, one lucky winner will be chosen at random for $5,000 in free groceries from their local Hy-Vee. To meet more Iowa farmers and learn about how your food is grown and raised, visit www. americaneedsfarmers.org

Technology is helping Americans get a better handle on their day-today finances, especially when it comes to routine tasks such as creating budgets and tracking spending.

Iowa State University Extension is providing an exciting opportunity for individuals wanting to learn the basics and best practices in using technology for personal financial management.

The Your Money Your Future workshop will be offered at the Winnebago County Extension office on September 9 and October 21 from 6-8 p.m. This is a hands-on workshop, where participants will bring their own laptop, iPad or tablet along with their personal income and expenses for the past 1-2 months. The class will be limited to

15 people to allow for privacy space between participants as they work and apply what they learn to their own financial data. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hands-on approach to financial education is the key to making it stick,â&#x20AC;? says Brenda Schmitt, ISU Extension Family Finance Specialist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t connect to it unless you have real experiences.â&#x20AC;?

The September class will focus on creating a Spending Plan and Tracking Spending. Participants will also learn how to use an Excel Spreadsheet in Google Documents.

The second class, a month later, will focus on Credit and Credit Reports and how to access additional online financial resources.

For information or registration details, contact Becky Beenken at 641-584-2261.

Parents: You may save the life of a child.

The Monarch butterfly population has decreased significantly in recent years and has now reached an all-time low.

Tagging is one technique used by scientists to learn why this has happened and what can be done about it. Through tagging, researchers can get a better idea of Monarch population numbers,

population trends and habitat use.

Anyone who would like to learn about the migration of the Monarch butterfly, as well as the Monarch tagging process, can attend a brief presentation at 6:30 p.m. Those who would like to help with the tagging can do so from 7:00-8:00 p.m. Although there should be a limited number of Monarchs availa b l e f o r people to tag, there will also be nets available for people to use to catch their own butterflies at the park.

People are also encouraged to bring their own Monarchs to tag, if they wish, or their own nets to use.

Brandon Willmert, at left, along with his team placed fourth in the National trap shooting contest held at Grand Island, NE this June. Willmert placed seventh individually in the trap shooting event, and hit 50 targets in a row.

Willmert places seventh at national shooting competition Brandon Willmert of Buffalo Center represented Winnebago County at the National 4-H Shooting Sports Competition this June, after qualifying at the State meet last October. Brandon has been participating in Shooting Sports since he was in fourth grade, and this was his last year with Winnebago County Shooting Sports.

On Sunday, June 23, Brandon and his parents set out for Grand Island, NE for the 4-H National shooting competition. After two days of check-in/registration, meeting the rest of the Iowa team and an afternoon of practice, the competition began on Tuesday.

Tuesday consisted of a sporting clay competition in the morning.

The course was difficult, as it should be for a national competition, and Brandon ended up breaking 68/100 targets while placing 56th out of 102 shotgun competitors, while the Iowa shotgun team placed 13th.

On Wednesday, it was time for the Skeet portion of the competition.

Having only started shooting skeet a month before nationals, Brandon was expecting a score in the 60s or 70s, but to his surprise, he broke 86/100 targets and placed 42nd individually and tied for sixth as a team.

He reports these first two days were great, and he had lots of fun, but it was now time to get serious.

On Thursday, Brandon shot trap â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his main shotgun event. In the first round, he managed to break all 25 of the targets, a milestone on its own, but he also proceeded to break the next 25 as well. He had finally broken 50 birds straight for the first time since he started shooting.

At this point, Brandon says he was extremely nervous, but he still had 50 more targets to go. For the

next two rounds, he broke 23 and 22 targets respectively, making his total 95/100. After a few hours of nervous waiting, the results were in, and he had tied for fourth with four other competitors. This meant a shoot off was needed to determine who would get 4th-8th place. In the end, Brandon shot well enough to receive a seventh place finish individually in trap, while also placing fourth as a team.

Brandonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammates from Iowa included Mark Siebels, Tyler Patterson, Bryce DeKoning and

Brandon Willmert dons whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left of the hat he wore while hitting 25 targets in a row at the State trap meet. His team celebrated the feat by shooting his hat during a Fun Night at the Florence Trap Range.

Wubben receives softball accolades

Jessica Wubben of the North Iowa Lady Bison softball team was chosen as the MBT and KIOW Prep Athlete of the Week for the tournament week of softball action.

The Lady Bison defeated CWL in a game heard on KIOW, where Jessica had a two-run home run. The Lady Bison also upset #9 West Bend-Mallard, where Wubben got the win in the circle, inducing a ground out to short with the tying and winning runs in scoring position. She struck out four batters while giving up nine hits and three earned runs. Wubben also had three hits with a double.

The Iowa Girls Coaches Association also announced that Wubben was selected as Honorable Mention to the Iowa All-State Team.

She batted .380, collected 35 hits with eight runs, 10 doubles, four home runs and 25 RBIs, making a total of 15 home runs in her high school career.

Coach Jeff Patterson, along with others involved in various shooting disciplines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brandon is an exceptional youth and will be missed,â&#x20AC;? said Libby Myer, County Youth Educator of the 4-H program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He represented our county well, and his dedication to the program is shown in his accomplishments. We could not be more proud of him.â&#x20AC;?

The NIHS trap shooters met for an end of the year Fun Night on July 9 at the Florence Recreation Area Trap Range. The team was officially recognized as a school club this year at North Iowa High School, meaning participants earned points toward their school letters. The team relies heavily on donations, as members need to provide their own ammunition and targets, along with their own guns. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donations totaled more than $1,300.

The season ran from April through the beginning of June, and seven members qualified for State by participating in at least four meets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The unique thing is everyone gets to compete,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Keith Frerichs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been a good group of kids.â&#x20AC;? The team is looking to add a few new members for next year.
