Help needed to set up flags for Memorial Day

Hampton Chronicle

This Memorial Day weekend, American Legion Post 21, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4828 and friends will again assemble the Avenue of Flags at both Buffalo Center cemeteries. This year’s display will include about 20 more flags than last year, and the veterans are looking for helpers to make quick work of placing nearly 200 flags.

Any helpers are welcome and greatly appreciated. The group plans to start putting up the flags at 7 a.m. on Saturday morning, May 23 at the cemeteries.

Memorial Day commemorations next Monday

The communities of Buffalo Center, Lakota, Rake and Thompson will commemorate Memorial Day next Monday, May 25, with events being held in each community.

Buffalo Center begins its Memorial Day salute with a parade, which gathers at 8:45 a.m. Monday morning at the corner of 2nd Ave and 1st St. NW. The parade will travel one block east to Main Street, one block north and then west to the school, where a Memorial Day program will be held in the North Iowa Auditorium.

Brad Huntington is the featured speaker at Buffalo Center’s Memorial Day program. Following the program in the auditorium, services will be held at the cemeteries north of Buffalo Center. Refreshments will also be served in the school commons following the program in the auditorium and continuing after the services at the cemetery.

Lakota will hold its Memorial Day program at 10 a.m. in the Eagle Center. The program will be followed by military rites at Maple Hill and St. Paul Lutheran cemeteries, and then lunch will be served at the Eagle Center.

The Rake Memorial Day Program will be held at Zion Lutheran Church beginning at 10:30 a.m.

This year’s speaker is Pastor Mark Brickzin. Coffee will be served at Rake City Hall following the program.

United Methodist Church to host Community Vacation Bible School Jungle Safari: Where Kids Explore the Nature of God is the theme of Community Vacation Bible School this year in Buffalo Center.

Several area churches join forces annually to make this summer staple a reality. All the fun begins on Tuesday, May 26 at 5:30 p.m. at Buffalo Center’s United Methodist Church, located at 215 1st St. NW. United Methodist is this year’s host congregation. Other cooperating churches that make VBS possible are Bethlehem Lutheran Church, First Congregational Church, First Reformed Church and Zion Lutheran Church of Rake.

Pre-registration letters went home with the kids, and the drop off sites for registration include: with Kim Ostermann at the school, the drop off box at Murra Hardware or with the local pastors. Children who aren’t registered are still welcome to attend, but pre-registration helps with planning. There is no fee to attend VBS. Classes for children are pre-Kindergarten (age 4) through 6th grade

(year completed in school). VBS will begin on Tuesday, May 26 and go through Friday, May 29. A light supper will be available for $1.00 per child starting at 5:30 p.m. in the church fellowship hall.

Opening exercises will begin in the sanctuary at 6:00 p.m. An evening offering will be received for the mission project, which is providing animals to underprivileged people all around the world through Heifer International. Nightly, boys and girls vote with their offerings whether to provide bunnies, chicks, geese, goats, pigs, ect. VBS also incorporates great songs, funny skits, crafts and snacks that every boy and girl will enjoy. Each evening concludes with a wind up in the sanctuary by 8:15 p.m. Parents should pick up their children promptly.

An Ice Cream Social and program will be held on Friday at 7:30 p.m. for the entire community in the sanctuary at United Methodist.

The new furniture has arrived at the Buffalo Center Library Park. People are invited to read, have a snack, or just enjoy the outdoors at the park.

Sit back and relax at Library Park New benches and a picnic table have arrived at the Library Park in Buffalo Center. City workers and volunteers were at the park last Wednesday to install the furniture, which was purchased thanks to a $983 grant from the Build with Bags program.

The furniture was manufactured by Plastic Recycling of Iowa Falls and matches the benches and planters used on Main Street during the summer. As part of the Build with Bags program, the library is also offering reusable cloth bags to anyone who brings in 50 plastic bags to the library for recycling.

The library hopes that the park will be a nice spot for outdoor reading, and it will be useful for the library’s summer reading program. The library also invites people to use the park for coffee time and small meetings and as a lunch spot for downtown business people.

Buffalo Center (Iowa) Tribune

Way back when 10 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, May 19, 2005 Announcement is made this week that Larry Sapp, owner of L. D. Sapp & Associates, an auction company in Buffalo Center, has sold his 10-acre business site to Jason Hallberg of Boone. The two men have been working together for a matter of months and now that the transfer of ownership is complete, as of late April, Sapp will continue his association with the business as an auctioneer with Hallberg.

The Buffalo Center City Council meeting opened on a somber note Wednesday, May 11 as a moment of silence was observed in memory of Councilman Ross Ellsworth who passed away accidentally Sunday, May 1. Ellsworth had served on the Council since March 2, 2004 when he was appointed to the position after the resignation of Larry Gray. In a special election held Tuesday, July 6, 2004 he was elected to the position with his term to expire December 31, 2007 20 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, May 18, 1995 The Lady Bison will take seven events to State. They ran up 55.5 points at the district rack meet in Manson on Thursday, May 11, for second place among the 30 teams in the field.

All the residents of the Buffalo Center area and Winnebago County now have Paramedic Service available when needed, according to Troy Armstrong, President of the Buffalo Center Volunteer Ambulance Corps

and Winnebago County Emergency Medical Services Association.

30 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, May 16, 1985 The Site Council needs a serving center to begin congregate meals.

Once a location has been determined the Council will advertise for a site manager to be on the job at the meal site. After a manager is hired, a date for starting the congregate meals will be established. It costs $2.75 to put a congregate meal on the table.

Keith Hanna, custodian of the Buffalo Center-Rake Community Schools, and Scott Armstrong of the city work force were some of the workers who helped install new lights at the ball diamond on Saturday, May 11. The new system is the result of a cooperative effort by the City Council, the BCR Board of Education and a committee from the Community Club led by Ed Enright.

40 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, May 15, 1975 The weather was cooperating for the farmers in our area to put on liquid herbicide and to plant their corn.

There will be 38 Seniors graduating here on May 27.

Paul Beenken, Francis Bruhns, and Clifford Caltvedt, employees of the Farmers Cooperative Elevator; Bruce Rippentrop and Dale Schumann, high school juniors, and others were part of a work crew that sacked and loaded 56 tons of corn here Tuesday and Wednesday to transport the corn to a shipping point in New Orleans, LA bound for Tanzania, East Africa.

50 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, May 20, 1965 The sixth graders from the Buffalo Center, Lakota and Rake schools boarded buses for Des Moines to see the famed 3-ring Shrine Circus.

They were to see the State Capital of Iowa, the interstate highway and cloverleafs near Des Moines and other sights not familiar to the school children living in rural Iowa.

Arnold Frerichs was made chief of the Buffalo Center Fire Department.

He was recently made manager of Wilson’s Super Valu at Britt. After learning about becoming manager at Britt and planning to move his family to Britt, he resigned his position as Fire Chief. Jake Kiewiet, who had just this year turned in his resignation, was made chief again. So his “retirement” was rather short-lived and he now resumes the office of Chief. Andy Winter was named as the new Assistant Chief.

60 Years Ago Tribune Files of Thursday, May 19, 1955 The class of 58 seniors will receive their diplomas on May 24. Don Reid from Des Moines will deliver this year’s Commencement address. He is the Managing Director of the Iowa Press Association.

Teddy Albers was unanimously elected president of the Buffalo Center Lions Club at a meeting of this organization held on Monday evening at the City Hall. He replaces Robert Janssen whose term has expired. John Teig was elected vice-president.

Kossuth County Farmers Market opens May 23 Opening day for the Kossuth County Farmers Market in Algona is coming up soon on Saturday, May 23 from 9 to 11 a.m. The market is located on the corner of Nebraska and Dodge Streets, on the Carnegie Lawn.

Several local growers and bakers participate in the market, with vendors from across Kossuth County and surrounding communities. They offer baked goods, jams and produce for sale. Items available do tend to vary with the season.

“It’s good for customers to know what to expect for this time of year and to know what is in season. Right now, people can reasonably expect spinach, lettuce and asparagus to be ready, and possibly radishes and green onions,” said Joanne Roepke Bode, local producer and market manager. “As the weather warms up, we’ll see different items come ready, so much more will be available soon.”

The farmers market will open on Wednesdays from 3 to 5 p.m. beginning in July and going until the end of September. The Saturday market

will be open until October 17.

For more information or updates, find the Kossuth County Farmers Market on Facebook.

The 2015 session continues on Extension needs aronia The avian flu continues to be a major concern, but its spread seems to have slowed. As of May 14, there are 52 infected sites in Iowa that affects 25.6 million birds. While life has certainly changed for those working at infected sites, on those sites not infected life has changed as well.

There is tight scrutiny of every aspect of biosecurity, including control of traffic to the farms and employee contact with employees from other farms. There is certainly an economic impact from this outbreak, but we often forget the very real stress it places on employees, management and many others. Let’s support our poultry producers every way we can. They provide us with very economical food that is safe and readily available.

I was disappointed this week to learn the 2015 session will not be ending soon. Since one of the Senate Democrats will be missing next week, Democrats will not be able to ensure the 26 votes required to pass legislation. Therefore, nothing of significance will happen until his return.

With a Republican majority in the House and a Democratic majority in the Senate, many bills are ending up in a joint conference committee that will hammer out a compromise to bring to the Legislature. Some of the bills in conference committee after this week are: the Standings Appropriations bill (which contains fund-

I serve on the Administration & Regulations conference committee where we set the budget for about 20 different state agencies, from the Secretary of State to the lottery. We should be able to finish our budget in a day once the larger budgets are set.

We did pass a few bills with broad support such as funding for out of state students attending for profit colleges in Iowa and approving waste conversion technology that converts landfill waste into energy and other products.

As I reflect on how slow this process is, I am at first frustrated. Then as I step back and consider over 200 years of American government, I can see how this process has caused careful consideration of consequences and preserved our liberties.

Many of the “bad” laws we have today have come when we grow impatient with the system and the judiciary or executive branch steps in to make something happen. Most

There’s never been a better time to cut the cable!

Americans feel freedom was born at the American Revolution.

I recently sat down to watch the movie The Ten Commandments and was struck by the introduction given by the narrator before the movie. He pointed to the freeing of the Hebrew slaves from Egypt as the birth of freedom. Then he said, “Is man to be ruled by God’s law or by the whims of a dictator? Are men the property of the state or are they free souls under the rule of God? This same battle continues throughout the world today.”

As I think about the desire to limit our Constitutional liberties of freedom of speech and religion and others, I agree the battle continues. My goal is to protect those liberties for the next generation.

It is an honor to serve the people of the Fourth District in the Iowa Senate. I welcome your questions and comments. I can be reached by email at dennis.guth@legis.iowa. gov or calling 641-430-0424.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach food safety specialists need help in acquiring samples of aronia berry jam and jelly for an upcoming ISU Extension and Outreach research project. Researchers are collecting jams and jellies for their project this summer through July 1, 2016.

Their goal is help the FDA establish a standard of identity for aronia berry jams and jellies.

Aronia is a woody perennial shrub in the family Rosacea and is native to the eastern United States. This hardy Zone 3 plant can be found in wet woods and swamps. The name Aronia, better known as black chokeberry, is now considered to be an intergeneric hybrid.

Currently, aronia berries are not among the fruits approved for making jams or jellies under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 Part 150 Section 150.160, and cannot be sold to any market without validation

Heartwarmer’s Quilt Guild to meet May 28

News from

TMNH

The Heartwarmer’s Quilt Guild will meet on Thursday, May 28 at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Buffalo Center at 7 p.m.

By Cammi Anderson Activity Director It’s finally here, National Nursing Home Week.

Our theme for Monday was Born to be a Star. We started our day off with our dress rehearsal for the Talent Show, then we watched Star Search on YouTube. During our Talent Show, we had a group of gentlemen singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”, the ladies sang “Bicycle Built for Two”, Mary Mathews played the piano, Betty Coxson read some poems, and Donna Mayland read some jokes on Ole and Lena. I did a tap dance while Irma Lockrem accompanied me on the piano.

Tuesday was our State Fair Day. During the morning, we watched County Fair Memories and made cotton candy. For dinner, we had corn dogs, onion rings, fried green beans and funnel cake for dessert.

Due to the cold weather, we had to cancel our petting zoo, and we played carnival games instead.

Wednesday, we had our spa hour and Pamper Me. We also had Pastor

Dinner, which the kitchen made fish, baked potato, cheese and broccoli and cheesecake for dessert. For the afternoon, we had 3 CD’S come and perform for us, as well as Cammi’s Dancers came and put on a mini dance recital. Thank you for entertaining us.

Thursday, the theme was Take Me Out to the Ballgame. For our morning activity, we played a trivia baseball game. Afterwards, we had a sing along. Unfortunately again due to the weather, we were unable to have our tailgate party outside. But of course, we improvised and had it indoors.

We had burgers, brats, beans, potato salad and chips. We finished our day with batting practice.

Friday was It’s a Fiesta. We had a piñata and played musical sombrero.

For dinner, we had a taco and nacho bar. During Happy Hour, we had strawberry margaritas.

A big thank you to my co-workers for making this week such a success.

I couldn’t have done it without you.

Youth Conference this summer at ISU

Every June, almost 1,000 teenagers converge on the campus of Iowa State University for three days full of speakers, workshops, mixers, dances, a banquet, and community service activities. Any student who has completed eighth grade is eligible to attend.

Students attending will get to experience campus life and meet new people from across the state. Have fun while learning by doing, dancing the nights away, and serving the community. Students will get to learn new things to take back to their community and school, and in the process, they might even discover something new about themselves.

There are opportunities for stu-

dents to share their talents with the rest of the delegation through small group discussion, the Conference Chorus, and a Talent Show. To be part of the team to capture the Conference in photos, join the Iowa 4-H Youth Camera Corps, and bring your camera.

The conference will be held June 30 through July 2, and registration is open now. Students do not need to be a 4-H member to attend, but Winnebago County Extension and Outreach pays half the expense for 4-H youth to participate.

For more information, call the Winnebago County Extension Office at 641-584-2261. Registration is due by June 1.

Governor Branstad declares EMS Week in Iowa Governor Branstad will sign a proclamation this week declaring May 17 to 23 as Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week in Iowa. The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) joins the Iowa Emergency Medical Services Association and the nearly 11,000 EMS providers in Iowa in recognizing the importance of those who provide emergency medical care. This year’s EMS Week theme is ‘EMS Strong.’

“Without question, the men and

women who serve as EMS providers embody this year’s EMS Week theme,” said IDPH Bureau of Emergency and Trauma Services chief Rebecca Curtiss. “These selfless individuals respond 24 hours every day to patients and communities in need. Iowa’s EMS system is, indeed, strong.”

Of the 10,981 EMS providers in Iowa, more than half are volunteer.

Last year, EMS providers responded to 288,209 service calls.

“We want parents to know it’s never too early or late to start planning for their children’s education,” Fitzgerald said. “As a way to raise awareness about 529 plans, families are able to gain a jump start on saving for their child’s future education by registering for the chance to win a $5,290 College Savings Iowa account.” For more information and to enter the giveaway, visit CollegeSavingsIowa.com before May 31.

Cam Hepperly chips onto the green last Friday at Britt during Sectionals.

Spencer Armstrong, right, advances to State in the 100 meter and 200 meter dashes, after being edged out in both races by Korby Sander of Belmond-Klemme last Friday.

Sam Hassebroek congratulates Newman’s Max Mueller after placing second behind Mueller in the 3200 meters last Friday at Northwood.

The North Iowa Bison and Lady Bison will send a combined 11 athletes to this week’s State Track Meet in Des Moines to compete in 11 events. The teams had an excellent night at the state qualifier meet last Friday, May 15 in Northwood, as they qualified for State in nearly every event they qualified in last year, and they added a couple of new events to the list this year.

“Ideal weather conditions really benefited our track teams on Friday,” said North Iowa Head Coach Jonathan Potter. “We were able to come out and post a slew of season and lifetime bests due to the competition and weather.”

The girls had three events qualify for the state track meet. Lucy Hughes threw a lifetime best in the shot put and earned an at-large state berth with her

also qualified in two individual events; placing second in both the 100m and 200m dashes.

The medley team of Logan Eichenberger, Austin Haisman, Sam Hassebroek and Connor Smith ran a season’s best time by six seconds and advanced to state with their win. The 4x100 relay of Haisman, Smith, Eichenberger and Armstrong posted a season’s best time and also qualified on time.

Another highlight of the night was the Bison’s second place finish in the team standings. Northwood-Kensett placed first for the boys with 123 points, followed by North Iowa 90, AGWSR 82, West Hancock 82, Belmond-Klemme 72, Newman 55.5, Nashua-Plainfield 53.5, North Butler 41, Northeast Hamilton 41, Riceville 29, RRMR 22 and CAL 1.

“The boys had an exceptional team showing; a runner-up finish at the state qualifier meet for the second year in a row is quite a team accomplishment,” said Potter.

Northwood-Kensett led the scoring for the girls with 124 points, followed

by West Hancock 103, AGWSR 82.5, Nashua-Plainfield 79.5, Newman

Eleven off to State Track as boys take second at qualifier meet performance. “Lucy’s best throw as a freshman was 23’; she has improved by over 10’ in two years - which is phenomenal,” said Coach Potter.

The 4x800 relay team ran a season’s best time by 15 seconds and won their event. Rachel Schutter placed second in the 800m run and clocked a new personal best, and new school record, of 2:26.84 – breaking the old record of 2:27.9 held by Renstrom set in 1997.

The boys are sending eight events to the state meet. Connor Smith was the team’s loan state qualifier individual champion; coming home with titles in both the 400m and 1600m runs. Alex Paulson is a double state qualifier by posting lifetime bests in both the shot and discus and advancing as an atlarge qualifier. Spencer Armstrong

71, North Iowa 68, RRMR 61, Belmond-Klemme 60, Riceville 40 and North Butler 38.

“Overall, it was a fantastic way to end the season for most kids,” said Potter. “Whether they were in contention to advance to the state meet or not, the vast majority of our kids came out and gave excellent effort, which they can be proud of regardless of their final placing.”

Girls Field Events Shot Put: Lucy Hughes [33’11.5”/3rd (STATE QUALIFIER)]. Discus: Cassidy Sachs [93’10”/4th].

Ostermann advances to Districts

The North Iowa boys will send one golfer to the next round of postseason play, after competing in the Sectional golf meet at Britt last Friday, May 15.

North Iowa senior Taylor Ostermann took third place individually at the Sectional meet with a score of 75 – earning a spot at the District meet this Thursday at Spencer. The top four individuals and top two teams at Sectionals earned the right to advance to Districts.

Other results for North Iowa include Colton Skarpohl-Ost with an 84, Cam Hepperly 104, Austin Paden 108 and Jordan Boekelman 121.

The other individual qualifiers for Districts were Wes Buntenbach of Belmond-Klemme with 70, Jess Marlow of Bishop Garrigan with 74 and Andrew Lallier of Bishop Garrigan with 75.

As a team, North Iowa took sixth place at Sectionals. Bishop Garrigan was first with 303 points, followed by Newman with 333, Belmond-Klemme 334, West Hancock 343, West Bend-Mallard 345, North Iowa 347 and Northwood-Kensett 374.

Thursday’s District meet is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. at Spencer Golf & Country Club.

Taylor Ostermann eyes his shot as it falls short of the green last Friday during Sectionals. Ostermann took third place at the meet to advance to Districts as an individual.

The Bison and Lady Bison track teams traveled to Belmond to compete in the last ever North Iowa Conference championship. Both squads finished in the middle of the pack, while two individuals from North Iowa took conference titles in their events.

“It was cold and windy with intermittent precipitation, but it didn’t seem to dampen the North Iowa teams’ performances on the track or in the field,” said Coach Jonathan Potter. “Competing in a field of eleven schools makes for tough going in the placing department. However, finishing in the middle of the conference or better in the team standings was a nice accomplishment for both our squads.

“The throws once again were a bedrock for our point totals for both genders,” said Potter. Alex Paulson won the discus with a lifetime best and finished second in the shot put. Cassidy Sachs threw a lifetime best by 12 feet and earned a third place medal in the process.

Connor Smith was the only other individual to win a conference title for North Iowa - repeating as the NIC 1600m champion in a personal best time. Other medalist performances for the boys were Spencer Armstrong in the 100m, the 4x100 team and the 1600m medley.

“On girls’ side, the middle distance

and distance events were our main source of points outside the throws,” said Potter. “The 4x800 team and Rachel Schutter in the 800m placed second with strong performances, while the 4x400 team ran a season’s best time to earn a hard-fought third place finish.

“Overall, despite the conditions, the vast majority of the kids came out and competed exceptionally well,” said Coach Potter. “It was a very positive first meet of ‘Championship week’. If the athletes come out and perform at the state qualifying meet like they did at the conference meet, I believe that we will be very satisfied with the outcomes.

Garner-Hayfield/Ventura led in the team totals for the boys with 131 points, followed by Bishop Garrigan 106.5, Forest City 95.5, Lake Mills 74, Belmond-Klemme 53, North Iowa 52, Osage 50, West Hancock 49.5, Eagle Grove 44, Newman 28 and North Union 18.5.

Final scores for the girls were: Osage 175, Bishop Garrigan 100, West Hancock 86, Forest City 72.5, North Iowa 56, Lake Mills 50, North Union 48.5, Eagle Grove 46, Newman 42, Belmond-Klemme 33 and GHV 32.

The North Iowa golf teams finished their regular season last week, which included the North Iowa Conference meets and a boys’ triangular at Britt.

The boys’ conference meet was held at Garner on Monday, May 11, where North Iowa took ninth place. Individual scores included: Taylor Ostermann 86, Garrett Walsh 94, Austin Paden 96, Colton Skarpohl-Ost 99, Cam Hepperly 107 and Jordan Boekelman 129.

Bishop Garrigan took the NIC title with a score of 331, followed by Eagle Grove 334, GHV 335, Newman 348, Lake Mills 356, North Union 358,

Forest City 368, Belmond-Klemme 372, North Iowa 375, Osage 386 and West Hancock 386.

On Tuesday, May 12, the boys headed to Britt for a triangular against West Hancock and Belmond-Klemme.

North Iowa came in third with 194 points, as Belmond won with a score of 176 and West Hancock followed with 183.

Individual scores for North Iowa were: Taylor Ostermann 40, Colton Skarpohl-Ost 48, Garrett Walsh 51, Cam Hepperly 55, Austin Paden 55 and Jordan Boekelman 61.

The North Iowa track teams traveled to Northwood on Thursday, May 7 to compete in the Panther co-ed relays. Lightning cut the meet short, but North Iowa still came away with wins in two events.

Alex Paulson was the champion in the boys’ shot put with a throw of 46’1”, while the girls’ 4x800 team consisting of Kendall Melz, Madi Blodgett, Brooke Hovland and Rachel Schutter took first with a time of 10:33.32.

“Mother Nature did not want to cooperate this evening,” said Coach Jonathan Potter. “Lightning in the area

forced us to pack up and go home early. Despite that fact, we were able to get in some solid performances early.

Next week’s weather does not look overly promising, but we don’t have much say in that matter.”

Boys Field Events Shot Put: Alex Paulson [46’1”/1st], Hunter Gelhaus [38’8.5”/4th]. Discus: Alex Paulson [117’4”/3rd].

Spring Stargazing program Friday

Winnebago earns safety recognition award Winnebago Industries, Inc. has received a hazard control recognition award from the Iowa-Illinois Safety Council.

The award was announced at the safety council’s professional development conference and expo held in Dubuque, April 22-24.

Winnebago Industries was one of 101 entries from industries and government agencies in Illinois and Iowa.

The company submitted hazard control projects and programs designed to improve the safety culture of the organization. Specific strategies implemented included adding slip resistant paint to selected areas, fire safe-

ty precautions and the installation of adjustable work stations for improved ergonomics.

“Employees at Winnebago are the company’s greatest asset,” said Vice President of Manufacturing and Safety Committee Chairman Daryl Krieger. “This award is a compliment to everyone’s commitment to improving safety.”

Members of the safety committee include Daryl Krieger, Chair, Rich Honsey, John Breuklander, Eric Rossmiller, Al Heimdal, Barry Bendickson, Dan Larson, Colleen Bagley and Pete Visser.

LifeServe Blood Center is encouraging the public to give an hour of their time to save the lives of three people in need this summer.

A blood drive for the Buffalo Center, Rake and Thompson communities will be held Thursday, May 28 from 2:006:00 p.m. at Thompson Public Library, 102 Jackson Street in Thompson.

With vacations, holidays, special

events, and many other fun activities, many people find themselves busier than ever during the summer. That’s why the blood supply often dips to critically low levels through these months.

Donors are needed to beat the summer blood donation lull.

To schedule a blood donation appointment, go online to lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800-287-4903.

A free blood pressure clinic will be held at the Bison Senior Center in Buffalo Center next Wednesday, May 27 from 10:30-10:45 a.m.

Everyone is welcome to attend. The clinic is sponsored by Winnebago County Public Health.

` The Winnebago County Conservation Board will hold a Spring Stargazing program on Friday evening, May 22. The program will be held at the entrance to Thorpe Park, five miles west of Forest City, beginning at 9:30 p.m., and should last about 45-60 minutes.

During the program, Winnebago County Naturalist Lisa Ralls will lead people on an informal tour of the spring nighttime sky. She will discuss just what stars are and will point out such constellations as the Gemini Twins and Leo the Lion, as well as favorites such as the Big and Little Dippers, and Draco the Dragon. People will also learn how to identify some of the brighter spring stars, including the twin stars of Castor and Pollux, Arcturus, and Spica.

Also, Venus will be shining brightly in the west, and Jupiter will also be

shining brightly overhead.

The Spring Stargazing program will be free and open to the public, and star charts will be handed out to everyone to take home afterwards.

People are asked to bring along a pair of binoculars, if possible, and could also bring along lawn chairs, if they want.

If the skies are cloudy that night, the program will have to be postponed or canceled. If that happens, the 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. For more information about the Spring Stargazing program, people can contact Naturalist Lisa Ralls at 641-5653390 or at lralls@winnebagoccb. com

Honor a loved one with a Relay for Life Luminaria

The Winnebago County Relay for life event will be held June 13 from 10:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. at the Courthouse Square in Forest City.

It is a fun-filled day with entertainment all day and booths full of food and merchandise, hosted by Relay teams. People from Forest City and surroundings communities come together to remember loved ones who are suffering with cancer or have lost the fight, as well as honoring cancer survivors.

“One of the most moving experiences of the Relay event is the Luminaria Ceremony. When 400 individualized bags are lined up around the courthouse square and lit at night, it is a sight to see!” said Lana Thompson, chairman of the Luminaria committee. The decorated and illu-

Luminarias for Relay for Life are personalized with various designs and decorations.

minated bags represent and honor loved ones who are cancer survivors or those who are currently battling cancer, in addition to memorializing loved ones who have lost the fight.

All proceeds go to help local families through the American Cancer Society.

Every bag is different, decorated, and hand lettered by the small band of women who have been meeting weekly for many months to create the bags. Calligraphy will set the names off, and several women help with this. Jill Holland has been loyal to help out lettering every year, even though she helps out with several other relay teams.

“Every one of us have had a personal connection with cancer, either personally or a family member or friend. That is why we all volunteer and believe in this particular aspect of the Relay so much,” said Cindy Wooge.

Luminaria volunteers from Forest City include: Lana Thompson, Jodene Bartleson, Jill Holland, Judy Anderson, Cindy Wooge, Erika Knoner and Shirleen Mitthun. Joan Christianson and Lonnie Arnevik are volunteers from Thompson. Denise Meredith is from Crystal Lake.

Luminaria samples and order forms can be found on the bulletin boards of many grocery stores in the county. The Luminaria sell for a minimum donation of $10.00. Mail the order forms in, or order from a committee member, local relay team members or drop forms off at the

courtesy counter at Bill’s Family Food in Forest City, where a display will be on view. Luminaria choices will be also be displayed and available in the entrance of Bill’s Family Foods on Friday, June 5 from 2:005:30 p.m. Committee members will be there that day and some other random days, as their schedules allow.

The deadline for special art requests is June 1. Specialty bags include hand-drawn artwork that feature professions, hobbies or interests like farm scenes or bowling pins.

“We’ve tried to think of everything and have many one-of-a-kind bags already made up, as we know what was requested in previous years,” said Lonnie Arnevik. There are also glittered floral or butterfly designs that are very beautiful.

The decorated luminaria will also be available for purchase at the Re-
