Iowa Prairie Heritage Week

By Lisa Ralls Winnebago County Naturalist When the first European settlers arrived in Iowa, more than 85% of the state was covered by the tallgrass prairie. That amounted to 30 million acres of grasses, flowers, wetlands and wildlife. Iowa was a vast, interdependent prairie ecosystem that had evolved over the course of 10,000 years. Today, much of that ecosystem has disappeared. But, its legacy lives on. And we celebrate that legacy each year during Iowa Prairie Heritage Week, which will be commemorated this year from September 8-14.

Many of those first settlers marveled at what they saw when they arrived in Iowa. Describing the Iowa prairie that he first saw as a boy in the 1850’s, future Iowa congressman John Lacey said, “We took our time for the trip and I walked nearly all the way full of wonder and delight at everything we saw.� As Winnebago County settler Laurence Larson stated upon arriving in our county, “In the other directions, north and south and west, aside from the two patches of woodland, there was nothing to see but the prairie, green stretches of grassland rolling quietly outward till they were lost in the haze that trembled on the horizon.� In Iowa alone, over 150 species of flowers bloomed on our tallgrass prairie. The beauty and immensity of the prairie definitely captured the imagination of many of those early Iowa residents.

But, over a hundred centuries, the prairie grasses had also created a deep, rich topsoil that allowed those first settlers to begin building an agricultural economy that we still

enjoy and depend upon today. And, within a few decades, the prairie began to disappear, giving way to crops that had much shorter roots and that required much more water than the native prairie grasses. Little did our ancestors know it then, but those original grasses had many unique adaptations that their newlyplanted crops didn’t have.

Native prairie grasses, for instance, have roots that extend down 8’-12’ underground, and intermingle with other grass roots to create a tough prairie sod. That sod was almost impossible for our forefathers to break, but it was those impenetrable roots that held the soil in place for thousands of years. And, thanks to those roots, native grasses are also able to live and grow using much less water than agricultural crops.

So, as the prairie to crop conversion continued over the decades, the soil and land became quite vulnerable. And, when a major drought occurred in the 1930’s, the barren land couldn’t survive. During the Dust Bowl, hundreds of millions of acres of productive land became fallow as the top soil blew away.

Maybe the one good thing that came out of the Dust Bowl was a renewed appreciation for our Midwest land and the prairie that created it. America’s prairie ecosystem once covered 400 million acres of land from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains – the largest contiguous ecosystem in North America. It was this ecosystem that had survived for over 10,000 years against all odds—against extreme temperature swings, unending blizzards, unforgiving droughts, constant wind and relentless fires. Not

only did it survive, it thrived!

Grasses, flowers, insects, birds, snakes, turtles, frogs and mammals all lived together as one interconnected habitat. And, over the years, these organisms also produced a deep, rich, fertile topsoil.

Today, we can appreciate how well-adapted all of those plants and animals are to live in a part of the country that can be, to say the least, very inhospitable. Although over 95% of our original prairie is gone, we now realize the importance of preserving and, if possible, recreating prairie areas. Such areas can hold our soil in place against the onslaught of the wind, can give shelter to wildlife through even the most brutal of blizzards, and can filter impurities out of our runoff, keeping our water clean. And, needless to say, such areas are also needed places of refuge for ourselves; their beauty and peacefulness providing a tonic for the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives.

As a result, many people have worked diligently to conserve what

prairie remnants we have left and to plant additional prairie areas where possible. And, we’ve become more aware of how important it is to protect the soil that the prairie gave us.

After all, we can’t wait another 10,000 years for the prairie to build up more topsoil for us; we’ve got to protect what soil we have left by using conservation techniques today.

So, try to take a little time during Iowa Prairie Heritage Week to thank our prairies for all that they have done for us. Let’s face it—we wouldn’t be an agricultural state if it were not for the soil so graciously given to us by that vast American prairie. Where there are still patches of those grasses and flowers, they continue to serve us well. And, take a few minutes to also just appreciate the beauty that is a prairie. As Emily Dickinson once wrote, To make a prairie it takes A clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And reverie.

The reverie alone will do, If bees are few.

Prayer Shawl Ministry needs crafters Over the centuries, shawls have come to symbolize shelter, peace and spiritual sustenance. Since the inception of The Prayer Shawl Ministry in 1998, members of this ecumenical organization have lovingly donated their time and talents by creating hand-knitted and crocheted shawls for those in need.

CORN, LP switching from coal to natural gas

BY KIM DEMORY egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net After eight years of producing ethanol through the use of coal, CORN, LP of GoldĂ&#x20AC;eld has announced they will be switching to natural gas this week.

The change has been in the process for about a year, according to Brad Davis, Gold-Eagle Cooperative general manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty excited,â&#x20AC;? Davis said about the $6 million project.

The reason for the change, he said, is that since they went operational in 2005, the price of coal has almost doubled, mostly because of freight costs and the opposite is the case with natural gas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcome that kind of energy shift,â&#x20AC;? Davis said.

As a result, planning to switch to natural gas has been in the planning and preparation stages for over a year.

According to Davis, natural gas logistics are easier to manage since the product is transported through pipelines. In addition, new drilling / extraction technology for both crude and natural gas has made much more natural gas available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody would have anticipated that (eight years ago when they decided to use coal as energy),â&#x20AC;?

Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about supply and

demandâ&#x20AC;Śand the U.S. has become an exporter of natural gas.â&#x20AC;?

CORN, LP is now in the Ă&#x20AC;nishing stages of the conversion to natural gas. A pipeline has been laid running from one mile east of the Holmes blacktop to the GoldĂ&#x20AC;eld ethanol plant, which means all that is left is completing the furnace transition work enabling the furnace to operate with natural gas, and a few other items like reprogramming of some computer software. Davis is anticipating the work to be done so it can be up and running on natural gas this week.

Davis said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for some great things to happen.

We have to learn how to adapt and make this newly designed energy system as efĂ&#x20AC;cient as it can be. We also anticipate (natural gas) will take fewer BTUs of energy to produce a gallon of ethanol which means the payback could be enhanced.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the $6 million dollar investment into the conversion, Davis said it will be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairly fast payback.â&#x20AC;? Last year may not mirror the future accurately, but when comparing energy costs, there was a $2.5 million disadvantage using coal as compared to natural gas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel this is a pretty big deal for the community,â&#x20AC;? Davis said of the project.

He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deny that the ethanol market has been pretty challenging the last couple of years due to the diminished use of gasoline in the U.S. According to Davis, reports show that 10 years ago, when plans began for the ethanol plant in GoldĂ&#x20AC;eld, gas usage was at 142 billion gallons in the United Sates.

Now, it is a little over 130 billion gallons. The prediction is for usage to drop even more.

However, Davis is optimistic, saying that since the start of 2013, ethanol production has been more in line with ethanol demand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ethanol has saved the consumer a tremendous amount of moneyâ&#x20AC;Śand it will continue to play an important role,â&#x20AC;? Davis said.

Should there be an unforeseen economic advantage by switching back to coal in the future, CORN, LP will be able to switch back easily and without extraordinary costs. Nearly all of the coal equipment will be left in place, so all that would be needed is a couple weeks to reconnect all of the disconnected equipment in and around the furnace as well as changes to the software. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe this (switch to natural gas) is going to be a good thing,â&#x20AC;?

Davis said.

Waldorf College Art Gallery features work by local artist and alumna Local artist Sonja Johnson finds inspiration in the world around her.

Paintings of farm animals make up her show Impulse and Remembrance, which is now open in the Waldorf College Art Gallery. An artist reception will be held on Thursday, Sept.

12, from 6 to 8 p.m., with Johnson speaking at 7 p.m.

An Iowa native, Johnson has been surrounded by farm animals for most of her life. She grew up on a dairy farm in the north central part of the state and once kept an artist studio above a veterinary clinic in Gowrie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In regard to the animal subjects, I do feel a connection,â&#x20AC;? Johnson explains in her artist statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is motion, instinct, remembrance and experience. Did I choose them? No, I insist that they chose me.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson begins her process by looking at photographs and exploring color combinations, light, and value. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to think in terms of temperature, warm colors coming forward and the cooler tones receding,â&#x20AC;? she explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the middle stage, a lot of color is used, thick and thin layers of paint.â&#x20AC;? Towards the end, two or three main colors are chosen for the painting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to express what I feel rather than what I know,â&#x20AC;? she concludes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is amazing about Sonjaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is that she is able to capture the personality of each animal with her

A Waldorf graduate, Johnson saw the college as her gateway to the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My experiences at Waldorf College helped me grow in selfconfidence and encouraged me to pursue my lifelong passion of art,â&#x20AC;? she states in her biography.

Johnson went on to earn a

Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in art and education from the University of Iowa and was an art instructor in public schools for 10 years. She currently resides in Thompson.

Bradley advances in NBC talent competition Cami Bradley, the daughter of Paul Miller and granddaughter of Don and Carmen Miller, formerly of Buffalo Center, advanced to the Top 12 last week on NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent. She sang a rendition of Elvis Presleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Help Falling in Loveâ&#x20AC;? during round one of the semifinals last Tuesday, and she learned she was moving on during Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in love with you,â&#x20AC;? said judge Howie Mandel.

following each performance show.

The final six members of the Top 12 will be selected this week, and Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next performance on the show will be Tuesday, Sept. 10.

The Miller family moved away from Buffalo Center in 1980, and they, along with Cami and her husband, Eric, all live in Spokane, WA. Cami works as the worship director at a Foursquare church in Spokane â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a role she took over from her father. She writes and composes music for the Sunday services, which feature a full band on stage.

Her husband also serves as the technology director at the church.

Pat Costigan, Camiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncle, says her whole family is very talented musically. He says Cami has been performing at the Knitting Factory in Spokane, where she always packs the house. When she was 16, she won a locally produced TV talent show called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gimme the Micâ&#x20AC;?. She took home a new car as the top prize.

The season finale of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent is on Wednesday, Sept.

18, when the $1 million winner will be named.

A seminar for parents and caregivers of children with autism and related disorders will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, in the Kinney Lindstrom Center at Opportunity Village in Clear Lake.

Dr. Lisa Kemmerer, behavior analyst, will talk about â&#x20AC;&#x153;EvidenceBased Practices for Children with Autismâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Replacing Challenging Behavior with Functional Communication.â&#x20AC;?

Formerly the Autism Center coordinator at the University of Iowa Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, Kemmerer has taught graduate and undergraduate courses in the areas of special education and behavior analysis and has published articles in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, Behavioral Interventions, and Education and Treatment of Children. Kemmerer received her Ph.D. in Special Education at the University of Iowa. She has provided behavioral consultation and training for school districts and families in Iowa, Oregon, Kentucky and West Virginia.

Kemmerer will present information about the latest practices and treatments that have been successful for children with autism and provide guidelines to help families make informed decisions regarding treatments they choose. She also will discuss why individuals with limited vocal communication skills exhibit challenging behaviors. Kemmerer will talk about how care-providers can teach individuals with autism to use functional communication in their daily routines instead of challenging behaviors.

Seating is limited. RSVP by emailing cmaulsby@oppvill.org or by calling 641-355-1231. On-site child care will be provided, reservations required.

Funding for the seminar is provided by Opportunity Village and United Way of North Central Iowa.

Opportunity Village recently began expanding its services to individuals with autism spectrum disorders and their families with the establishment of the Opportunity Village Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Autism Center.

The Center plans to provide supports and resources for families, including a Family 2 Family Connect support group meeting at 6 p.m. the third Thursday of every month at the Village in Clear Lake.

Motorists should expect some delays when traveling on Highway 9 between Buffalo Center and Lakota starting this week. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in places beginning September 3, as the Iowa Department of Transportation will be filling cracks. Work will take place between the Highway 169 intersection in Kossuth County and 20th Ave. in Winnebago County.

Construction is scheduled to run through September 23, but Roy Gelhaus of the DOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Britt resident construction engineerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office expects the project to be completed in about seven work days.

Other work was completed on Highway 9 between Buffalo Center and Thompson last Thursday, as a two and a half mile section of the south lane had to be repaved following last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blacktopping project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were some problems with the density of the asphalt last year,â&#x20AC;? said Gelhaus. He notes a section of the new blacktop in the north lane was replaced last year, but the deci-

sion to replace the second section came after the construction season had ended.
