Screaming Eagle is now Orange’s
A Buffalo Center bar has a new owner and a new name, but bar patrons should feel right at home. Troy Julius has purchased Screaming Eagle from Shawn Thomsen – renaming the establishment Orange’s. Julius chose the name after his nickname, Orange. Julius says he had thought about buying the place before, back when Thomsen bought The Old Wagon Wheel in 2010. He says he had talked to Thomsen about buying the bar for a while, and he finally decided to make it happen. “It’s not going to change much,� said Julius. “I liked the way Shawn had it.� This is Julius’ first time owning a business. He also farms with his dad, Howard. Helping Julius at the bar will be manager Ryan Silber, who has worked at the Screaming Eagle for a few months and previously managed at Shooterz in Forest City and The Barn at Gruis Recreation
Area. “He’s got good ideas – he’s got experience,� said Julius. Julius plans to reopen the bar this Wednesday, with hours of operation being 4 p.m. to close, Monday through Saturday, during the harvest season. Drink specials include Happy Hour from 4-7 p.m., $2 beers and mixed drinks (excludes top shelf) and $1 off the bar menu. They hope to start offering meals in December.

Scouting for food this weekend Cub Scout Pack #445 is scouting for food in the local communities this month, as part of the Boy Scouts of America’s fight against hunger. The Cub Scouts are collecting food for the North Iowa Food for Families Food Pantry in Buf-
falo Center, as well as the Family Alliance for Veterans of America (FAVA) in Forest City. “We’re trying to give back to the community for all the support they give us,� said Illa Roth, who helps lead Pack #445. The scouts are asking residents
in Buffalo Center, Lakota, Rake and Thompson to donate non-perishable, unexpired food items to the cause, as well as household paper products. Residents are asked to place items in a bag outside their front doors this Saturday, Oct. 19. Bags should be
placed outside by 10 a.m., and the Cub Scouts will come around to pick up the items. The scouts also plan to have a box out at Johnson’s Food Center in Buffalo Center this week to accept item donations.
