Roofing specialist brings decades of experience to Heath Construction

By Andrew Shaw Dennis A. Heath is entering his fourth year of operating Heath Construction in the Rake area, with nearly four decades of experience in the roofing business.

Heath is a native of Rake and spent many years working in roofing and construction in the Twin Cities before returning to the area about 10 years ago. He worked for local companies including Larson Contracting and Cherry Tree Builders before starting up Heath Construction, LLC in 2012.

Heath describes himself as roofing specialist, and he says he can handle any kind of roofing project. This inclues residential, commercial and industrial projects, as well as churches and barns.

He does architectural shingles, tear offs/ re-roofs, slate and flat roofs (including hot tar and EPDM rubber), tile, cedar shingle and shakes, attic insulation and ventilation, and ice and snow removal.

“I want to make sure I’m using the best quality material,” said Heath.

Heath specializes in architectural sheet metal, including galvanized, copper, prefinished metal, copper bay roofs, gutters and down spouts, standing seam roofs and soldered metal decks. He also does siding, including aluminum, steel, vinyl and cement Hardie board, along with soffit and fascia.

Heath’s grandparents were Mr. and Mrs. Inmar Engelby of Rake. He remembers his grandpa had a wood shop

in his basement, where he made baseball bats and other things. His grandpa encouraged him to take pride in his work. “He told me that if I work on every home or building like it’s my home, I’ll never have to worry about work,” said Heath.

He moved to the Twin Cities when he was in seventh grade, and he found that his education in Rake had put him ahead of his classmates at his new school. The principal allowed Heath to have three hours of shop class every day, where he built grandfather clocks with his teacher.

Heath started out roofing in 1978 for John Kaufman Roofing, which has ROOFING to page 13

This is an example of Dennis Heath’s custom work using cedar shingles on a project for the St. Paul Historical Society.

Heath says the inlaid gutters used in this project can’t be seen from the ground. A rubber roof completes the project.

Work wrapping up on water project

By Andrew Shaw Buffalo Center’s water project is nearly complete, and the Buffalo Center City Council approved some last minute changes to the project at its monthly meeting last Tuesday.

Kevin Graves of WHKS, the project engineers, addressed the Council at the meeting to give an update on the project. He said they were wrapping up the modifications to well #1, and they were on track to commission the new generator last Wednesday. He said they’re getting quality drinking water from the new plant, and he feels they’ve done a good job of keeping the project on budget.

Graves had a list of a few additional items for the project that came up in discussions with Dave

Low, who supervises the operation of the plant for the City. Those items include a concrete slab for the existing LP tank to sit on, improved lighting in the old water plant that houses the generator, and installing flushing hydrants for both of the water wells. Graves said that adding the hydrants would make it possible to flush out stagnant water and anything that might accumulate when a well hasn’t been used for a while – particularly if it’s down for maintenance. The hydrants cost about $2,500 each.

Mayor Armstrong noted that being able to flush the wells will also keep bacteria from getting into the water system, which could cause an expensive problem down the road. Councilman Wubben asked where the water would go from the flush-

ing process, and the Council agreed that no water should be going into the nearby field. Graves said there were options to run the water into the backwash tank at the water plant or into the City’s sanitary sewer.

The Council voted to move forward with the changes proposed by Graves. He said they hope to have the project completed before the Council’s April meeting.

Wubben also asked Graves about the potential for asbestos in the old water plant, which was partially demolished for the water project. Graves said that from what the engineers knew, they didn’t think there was asbestos in that building, but he conceded that they did not test for asbestos.

In other business, the Council hired a number of

applicants for the City’s summer parks and pool programs. Boys’ little league instructors will be Duane and Teresa Cooper. Coach pitch and t-ball instructor will be Marty Schaefer. Duane Cooper was also hired as the little league bus driver. Mowers include Jim Hofbauer and DeWayne Maass, and Hofbauer will also be the shelter house caretaker. Sarah Paulson was hired as pool manager, and Melissa Aukes will be the assistant manager.

One position that has not been filled is the girls’ little league instructor, as there were no applicants.

Anyone interested in the position may contact City Hall.

In another employment matter, Councilman West asked how Paul Armstrong, who has been WATER PROJECT to page 12

Griffin collapsed on January 31 and was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. She was taken by helicopter to St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester, MN, and she underwent surgery and will likely need to have further surgery to put in a permanent stent. Funds raised on Saturday will go towards helping defray some of her medical expenses.

Vanishing Values

Growing up in a small town in rural Iowa in the ‘50s was a time when standards and values of society were clear, consistent and honored.

I imagine that this article may also reflect how many Iowans feel. There seems to be constantly changing values, and these changes often reflect the quality of the places where we live and work. It seems as though we are moving from clarity where issues were either black or white to areas of grey.

The change in various values often reflects the appearance of the places where we live and work – homes, neighborhoods and communities.

The appearance of the places we live in often impact our attitudes. You feel positive in places that tend to be clean and attractive – churches, businesses, golf courses and parks.

You have a reverse feeling when you see areas filled with litter, public nuisances and run down properties.

Sometimes it is obvious to us, but at other times, it can be subtle, and we

don’t even consciously know it, however, it negatively impacts us.

This situation is often referred to as the “Broken Windows” theory.

Simply defined, it means that when a building in the community ends up with a broken window, if it isn’t fixed rather quickly, it literally sends the message that ‘the rest of my windows are free to break’. It generally becomes the sign of a start of the decline in an area.

Regardless of how you feel about it, let me share a listing of some values that I think are changing. These changes can impact our lives and society. The words are identified, and you can fill in your own examples of how you see them changing. The following list is not meant to be exclusive but to give you an idea of the values that are being impacted. In some cases, they may even be vanishing from society: • Pride • Respect • Courtesy

• Patience • Tolerance and understanding • Contributing to benefit society • Virtue • Honesty • Dependability • Integrity • Silence • Spiritual Values • Long term perspective and not short term gain • Pursuit of quality of life and not simply financial success.

The list continues to grow, and you get the idea. Vanishing values can mean a harsh and often cruel/selfish society resulting in neighborhoods and communities that are not clean, filled with public nuisances and unappealing. That is certainly what we don’t want to happen. I hope that you share in that concern. We can all help bring back the basic values that not only built this country, our State and our communities but that provide the basis for sustainability of our nation.

Enhancing Education

HF 2413 HF 2413 is a bill that improves the reading proficiency program for Iowa. It changes the wording of the code to consider students with challenges in reading to be “persistently at-risk” rather than “substantially deficient”. It also outlines a plan to help determine which students are persistently at-risk at the end of third grade. Currently, reading proficiency is being determined by using a 60-second reading test, which measures speed and accuracy. Other mechanisms are allowed for in law, but those methods are being neglected. HF 2413 codifies the use of multiple factors to assess whether a student is deficient in reading, including multiple reading exams instead of one. Many times, children are fluent in reading but struggle with speed, a factor that must be accounted for when considering holding a child back at the end of third grade.

HF 2413 also implements an intensive summer reading program for students who are determined to be persistently at-risk. Our hope is to help these children obtain proficiency through the summer reading program. Students who complete the summer reading program will not have to repeat the third grade. HF 2413 passed the House on March 7 by a vote of 97-0. If passed by the Senate and signed by the governor, HF 2413 will go into effect in the spring of 2017.

Capitol Highlights

HF 2392 HF 2392 is a bill that improves and updates the structure for career and technical education in Iowa K-12 school districts. Under this bill, schools will be required to work with students starting in eighth grade to develop an education plan that could include career and technical training if the student is inclined towards jobs in those fields. HF 2392 organizes the plan to allow students to participate in career and technical training in high school in collaboration with community colleges in the area.

The purpose of this bill is to encourage students who would prefer to attend a technical school rather than a four year college by allowing them to start receiving that training in high school. It is becoming more and more apparent to me that some level of education beyond high school is necessary to earn a living wage in our society. That being said, I believe there are many jobs that can provide a good living while requiring less than four years of higher education, and I am highly in favor of community colleges that provide an excellent education to individuals seeking such careers. HF 2392 passed the House on March 3rd by a vote of 96-0.

Announcing my candidacy On February 29, I filed my nomination petitions with the Secretary of State’s office to seek re-election to District 7 in the Iowa House this fall.

I have been honored to serve the 7th District for the last four years, and I am looking forward to the opportunity of serving again next year.

One December 13, 1895, the voters of Buffalo Township in Winnebago County approved the consolidation of that township into one school district. On August 23, 1897, one of the township’s one-room schools was closed and its pupils transported to the $15,000 brick building which had been erected at Buffalo Center.

Thus, began the first consolidated school movement in Iowa. Buffalo Center’s school is the First Consolidated School in Iowa.

Biggest budget issues State Supplemental Aid and Section 179 State Supplemental Aid for K-12 schools and conforming with the Federal government on Section 179 for small business expensing are probably the two biggest budget issues the legislature has to deal with.

It is my understanding that a deal has been struck that will set school funding and grant coupling and Section 179 for the past year. I expect the legislation to come to the floor the week of March 24. I’m sure the details will be in the news as soon as the bills are passed.

Hate Crime law and the unborn person Tuesday was a day of tension on the Senate floor. Senator McCoy introduced a bill that would expand Iowa’s hate crime laws to include gender identity and gender expression in the list of classifications that are protected by enhanced penalties. Senator Chapman introduced an amendment that would also include “unborn person” in the list of protected classes. During his opening remarks, Senator Chapman (an EMT) went on to describe in detail four different methods of abortion and how the baby is killed. He said, “We provide classification for crimes against a special group of people… it ought to be for those who have no voice of their own.”

He was interrupted twice by points of order before he could finish.

“The only ones who can defend them [the unborn] is us.”

“You may choose to look the other way, but never again can you say that you did not know,” Senator Chapman said.

Sadly, the amendment was ruled not germane to the bill and the original bill passed 27-21. However, I am told the bill will not be debated in the House and is dead for the year. I applaud Senator Chapman for boldly making his point the unborn are the most vulnerable and most in need of our protection.

Gun bills and suppressors I have had lots of email regarding the gun bills the House passed earlier in the session. I have been told the bill to legalize suppressors in Iowa has passed committee and is ready for debate on the floor. Only Senator Gronstal can determine when any bill is debated, so if you have a desire to see this bill passed, please contact his office. The rest of the House bills appear unlikely to move forward. I am working across the aisle with Democrats to encourage debate on these bills.

American exceptionalism As we come to this point in the session, the process of making a bill eligible for debate can be frustrating.

Yet, what makes the American republic unique in all the world is the sovereign authority is not the elected representatives, but the Constitution

to which we are subject. Our country operates by the consent of the governed in conjunction with the rule of law. It is my belief that despite our frustration with “the system,” it is the best method man has ever devised for self-governance.

Community Chapel to host Missions Conference March 19-23

Pastor Kent Hillesland and the Congregation of Community Chapel in Lakota invite the public to their Annual Missions Conference, March 19-23. This year, the theme is “God’s Word to a World in Crisis!” based on the Scripture text of Ephesians 2:17, “And He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.”

The Missionaries for the conference are:

Bruce Scott Bruce and Janet Scott serve with The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry. Friends of Israel seeks to faithfully teach the Word of God so people can know of the transforming power of life in the Messiah. For the past several years, The Friends of Israel has been a prominent force in promoting better understanding between evangelical Christians and the Jewish community.

While never compromising their commitment to the gospel, they have vigorously promoted relationships with Jewish organizations and the government of Israel in order to create better understanding of their beliefs and unwavering dedication to the survival of Israel, along with those areas of national concern that impact both of our communities.

Since 1988, Bruce Scott has been a representative of The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, a worldwide Christian ministry communicating biblical truth about Israel and the Messiah while fostering solidarity with the Jewish people.

Author of the book The Feasts of Israel; Season of the Messiah, Bruce’s Jewish ministry spans over 34 years.

Bruce is a graduate of Central Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity Degree. Bruce has served with The Friends of Israel in various capacities. These include writing for The Friends of Israel International magazine, Israel My Glory, and leading summer teams to Israel. Bruce and his wife, Janet, and their son, Reuben, reside in New Hope, MN.

Duane Tweeten

Duane Tweeten serves as Vice-President of Theological Education for Training Leaders International. TLI exists to establish and strengthen local churches and their leaders around the world.

In order to meet the needs of the church in the world, TLI trains pastors to preach the Word of God faithfully.

TLI currently has training sites in 11 countries, schools in two additional countries, and nine missionary families serving overseas.

In the past three years, Duane has led teams of pastors from the United States to train pastors in Brazil, Serbia, Greece, Romania, Togo, Cameroon, India and Nepal.

Duane was born and raised in Forest City. Raised in a Christian family, he gave his life to Jesus Christ at an early age. It was not until later in high school that he began to understand more fully the implications of his conversion, growing in his faith.

Following the death of his father before his sophomore year in college, Duane had a burden to pro-

claim the message of eternal life in Jesus Christ. Prior to his work with TLI, Duane served as pastor of the Stromsburg Baptist Church for 17 years. In addition to gaining experience in pastoral ministry, his travels overseas demonstrated the need for sound doctrinal teaching in the church worldwide. Duane and his wife, Andrea, live in Minnesota and are the parents of six children.

Ken Trautmann Ken Trautmann serves with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) North East Iowa. Ken had been an elementary teacher for 28 years and had been working with the football team at the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) for 10 years previously, and he felt God’s call to devote more time and energy to reaching more students, athletes, coaches and teams on the UNI campus as well as students, athletes and coaches in the areas colleges, high schools and middle schools.

For two years, he prayed about how he might be able to accomplish this, and God opened up a door with FCA. Ken has been able to reach out in many of the areas colleges, high schools and middle schools in Northeast Iowa.

Ken is married and met his wife, Lynn, at UNI, where they both received their bachelor’s degrees; his in K-8 teaching and Lynn’s in Home Economics. The Trautmanns have five children and three grandchildren.

The Missions Conference begins Saturday, Mar. 19 at 3:30 p.m. with a pizza party for junior and senior high youth and the missionaries as a fun get-acquainted time, to which all area youth are invited.

On Sunday, Mar. 20, the day starts with Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. with a missionary speaking to each age group, followed by the Morning Service at 10:30 a.m., where Bruce Scott will be speaking. The evening services are from 6:307:45 p.m.

Each evening Sunday through Wednesday at 6:35-7:05 p.m., one of the missionaries will share a 30 minute Bible message, and Sunday through Tuesday, from 7:15-7:45 p.m., one of the other missionaries will be sharing their 30 minute field presentation. The conference concludes on Wednesday evening, March 23, with a closing message from Bruce Scott, followed by a fellowship and refreshment time. Also, each evening Sunday through Tuesday, there will be a special children’s program with one of the missionaries during the Bible message.

Another interesting part of the conference people are encouraged to consider attending is the Monday through Wednesday, 9:30-11:10 a.m. sessions where coffee and refreshments are served and the time is spent in an open forum, “Question and Answer” time with the missionaries. This is an informal time together and gives the opportunity for learning a lot of the interesting details about missions and our world, as well as the missionaries’ lives and ministry. The morning session closes with a devotional by one of the missionaries.

Pastor Kent Hillesland and the congregation invite everyone to join them for any or all of the sessions. Anyone with questions can check out Community Chapel’s website at communitychapelonline.org or call 515-886-2209 or send an email to Lakota.CommunityChapel@gmail.com. Community Chapel is located in Lakota at the Corner of Highway #9 and County Road P-60.

Dean K. Farland, 87 of Thompson, died Monday, March 7, 2016, at his home in rural Thompson after a courageous struggle with pulmonary fibrosis. Funeral service was held at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 12 at Bethany Lutheran Church in Thompson, with Pastor Lynn J. Noel officiating. Burial took place at Rose Hill Cemetery, Thompson.

Dean K. Farland was born on May 29, 1928, in Swea City, to Herman Silas and Anna Marie (Flatrud) Farland. They later moved to Armstrong, where he went to country school and junior high. His family moved to the Leland area, where Dean went to Thompson High School and graduated in 1946.

Dean was baptized on July 22, 1928, at the United Lutheran Church in Swea City. He was confirmed at North Prairie Lutheran Church on May 23, 1943. On March 16, 1947, Dean Kermit Farland was united in marriage to Ruby Pauline Durby at West Prairie Lutheran Church, Leland, by Pastor Perry Sampson. Together, Dean and Ruby farmed in the Scarville area for one year and then farmed and raised their family of six (Barbara, Bruce, Gary, Larry, Marcia, and Michael) in the same section near Thompson for 68 years until this week. Farming was his passion.

Dean loved and was very proud of his family and his many friends. He loved going to coffee at the Hometown Market and in surrounding towns. Dean and Ruby vacationed in Mission, TX, for 23 years. He enjoyed camping with Ruby and

work. She loved bringing hot tea to “her boys” on cold winter mornings and keeping her cookie jar filled for her grandchildren. She was always busy doing something. Her children, grandchildren and now great-grandchildren, have many of her “works of love”, in her many quilts and hand-embroidery she enjoyed doing as her hobby. Her sense of humor, smile, and her enjoyment of just sitting and visiting during tea-time will be missed.

Those left to honor her life with their memories are: her three sons, Ray (Navonne) Bosma and Larry (Linda) Bosma of Buffalo Center,

friends. He enjoyed vacationing at Green Lake in Minnesota during the summer, boating and teaching his kids and grandkids and many of their friends to water ski, and skiing himself into his 70s. He enjoyed his Iowa State and UNI kids and grandkids and wore both caps proudly. He enjoyed competing in tractor pulls and having his family cheer him on.

He really enjoyed attending sports of his kids and grandkids and also watching Nascar.

Dean was a man of faith and raised his family in this faith. He was a member of the Bethany Lutheran Church for 60 years. He loved getting his family ready for church and filling up the whole pew. He also served on the Church Council. He served on the Board of Directors (including president) of the Thompson Farmers Co-op Elevator for 27 years. He was proud of being a Shareholder and helped build the Hometown Market and served on the Board up until recently. He was also a member of Lion’s Club, Thompson Development

dairy milk, whether lowfat, fat free or organic, contains nine essential nutrients, including high-quality protein. In fact, milk is the top food source for three of the four nutrients of concern, or the nutrients Americans, including children, are most lacking: calcium, potassium and vitamin D. If you enjoy a morning cup of

coffee, here are a few ways to create gourmet coffee drinks at home.

How to Make a Cafe au Lait A cafe au lait is simply a strongbrewed coffee drink mixed with steamed milk. The best way to make one is to brew a dark-roast blend in a French press and mix with equal parts steamed milk.

There are a few easy ways to froth milk at home. Use an inexpensive milk frother or try this DIY tip: shake your favorite type of milk in a jar until it froths up. Remove the lid and microwave to desired temperature. Now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got warm milk for your coffee and foam to top it off.

How to Make a Latte Lattes are two parts milk to one part espresso. Starting your day with a morning latte is a wonderful way

to enjoy the buzz of coffee plus milkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine essential nutrients, including eight grams of high-quality protein per eight ounces.

How to Make a Cappuccino Another Italian coffee drink, the cappuccinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name comes from the Italian word for â&#x20AC;&#x153;hood.â&#x20AC;? A cappuccino is made with equal parts espresso, steamed milk and foamed milk.

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;dryâ&#x20AC;? cappuccino has more foam while a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wetâ&#x20AC;? cappuccino is closer to a latte in consistency.

Whether you prefer a cappuccino, latte or cafe au lait, adding milk to your coffee is a delicious, nutritious complement to your coffee beverage of choice. From espresso to strong brewed coffee â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â adding dairy milk only adds to the enjoyment. For more tips, tricks and recipes, visit milklife.com.

Beat Senior North Iowa High School

Spotlight Sydney Main

By Shamea Harris

Jade Fardal and Willie Roeder, both sophomores, study their Freshman Isaiah Walk and Sophomore Thomas Blodgett paint a yellow script books as they man the tech booth at practice on Tuesday, March 8. cabinet for one of the “Mary Poppins” sets.

Students Prepare for a

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Performance

By Sydney Main Have you ever wondered how magical Mary Poppins is? If so come down to the North Iowa High School March 18 or 19. The high schoolers are doing a production of “Mary Poppins,” directed by Christina Blodgett and Arin Anderson. The two main roles are Bert and Mary Poppins, played

by Sam Hassebroek and Natalie Dirksen. The Banks family is Zach Dirksen, Cassidy Sachs, Rachel Hassebroek, and Charlie Wycoff.

“We are very excited for the musical this year because it was just released for production,” Anderson said. This means it just recently came off Broadway. “And we are excited to see high schoolers perform it,” she said. Anderson and Blodgett aren’t the only directors. Amy Cook and Carole Kettwick are in charge of the music. Kettwick plays the piano and Cook, who also helps with instrumentals, coaches the student performers with the singing. Brian Blodgett does the drum

set. Our tech director this year is Sydney Giesking, who is a junior at North Iowa.

“It’s my first year,” she said. “I’m kind of nervous because of cues and just hoping that I won’t forget.” Sophomores Jade Fardal and Willie Roeder will help Giesking in the tech booth. Giesking was on the backstage crew last year.

“I’ve had so much fun the past two years that it will be hard to top it. But I think that we could do it this year,” Giesking said. Senior Megan Davis and freshman Selena Sanchez will run spotlights this year. The musical just isn’t made by the tech crew -- they also have a backstage crew of approximately nine students.

“They are a vital piece to making the show a success,” Christina Blodgett said. “Without them, the scene changes and special effects wouldn’t happen.”

“Backstage is always excited at the beginning, and they have a lot of questions. They are always

so excited to bring up the props from the prop room,” Anderson said. Directors Blodgett and Anderson appreciate a lot of help from people, but they say a few things continue to impress them.

“The participation from the student body and the support that we get from the community. And that the students are excited for the musical every year,” Blodgett said. Junior Sam Hassebroek is excited to be Bert this year. This is the role that Dick Van Dyke played in the movie version. Bert sings a lot of fun songs and is a very interesting character.

“There’s a lot of material for Bert -- singing, lines and dancing!” Hassebroek said. He might be excited to be Bert, but there also come those feelings for having a big part. Hassebroek was Rooster Hannigan in Annie.

“I don’t feel too much pressure because I had a bigger than an average part last year. But you get used to it after a while,” said Hassebroek.

HARRIMAN PREPARES TO COACH

EAGER BISON GOLF TEAMS

By Kameron Rohwedder *Tink* “Fore” That’s right, it’s that time of the year again when North Iowa golfers storm the course to prepare for their upcoming season. This year the Bison boys and girls golf teams have a new coach, Matt Harriman. Harriman, a fourth grade teacher, is the girls basketball coach as well as a golfer with a story.

“When I was younger, my parents took me all over the state, and when I was nine, I won my first tournament,” Harriman said. “I also got to mow the fairways for the 2009 PGA Championship [at Hazeltine, in Chaska, MN], which was an absolute blast.” Being the new golf coach, he also plans on bringing new ideas and strategies to practice.

“I want the kids to create a rhythm so that kids have the same swing for every drive, every iron and every putt and try to two putt every green,” said Harriman.

All the kids who are participating in golf this year are excited to see what he has to bring to the team. This year’s golf team is bringing back some veterans. Ivey Greensky, senior, will be swinging her way through her second and last year.

“I enjoy the sport itself and meeting new people at tournaments,” said

Greensky. Sydney Giesking, a junior, will be golfing her third season for the Bison and plans on going out next year, too. Last year, Giesking shot an alltime low of 42.

“I like being with my friends, and I just like the sport itself. It’s a sport that is full of nice people, and it is competitive,” Giesking said .

Jordan Boekelman, a sophomore, will be golfing his way through his second year for the Bison.

“I enjoy going out on to the course for practice and golfing with my buddies and having a good time,” Boekelman said .

There are only two new additions to the Bison team this year. Logan Leesch, a freshman, is looking forward to starting his first year of high school golf, but this won’t be his first time on the course.

“This is my first year in high school, but I have been golfing for 11 years,” said Leesch.

Sadie Zittritsch is the only freshman girl who has decided to dedicate her time to golf this year.

“Golf is enjoyable, and you get to meet with new people,” said Zittritsch.

If the weather holds, Zittritsch and the rest of the boys and girls teams will start competition on April 7 at a triangular meet in Armstrong.

Ag Students Practice Sales Techniques

By Jesse Boehm A very important skill in this day and age is knowing how to communicate with one another. In agriculture business class, teacher Rick Meyer has students choose an item they want to sell for an Ag Sales Project. This helps students understand sales and buying.

Students rely on a rubric that they must follow and have to try to sell the item to Mr. Meyer. He will only buy the item if the students can answer the questions he has about their product.

“It was a very good experience,” Jensen said. He chose a Versatile 875 tractor to sell for his speech. He said he chose this tractor is because he felt educated on what he was selling. His family farm owns a Versatile.

Noah Paulson chose a 2016 GMC truck because this is his dream truck,

and he wanted to learn more about it.

“It was tough project with a lot of research,” Paulson said. Mr. Meyer did not buy this truck from Paulson in the sales speech because Paulson could not answer some difficult questions he was asked about the truck.

“Mr. Meyer asked some tough questions,” Paulson said.

Junior Spencer Armstrong said he enjoyed the freedom of getting to choose which product he sold, a 2015 Chevy Silverado.

“I think this is a very fun project for us to do,” Armstrong said. He succeeded in convincing Meyer to “buy” the product, and Armstrong said he felt the students came away with very good experience.

“Overall the class enjoyed this project,” he said.

Junior Rachel Hassebroek loosens up during co-ed warm-ups at track practice on March 8. The team later enjoyed warm weather for outdoor practice.

NI TRACK TEAM

GEARS UP FOR SEASON

By Logan Eichenberger With the bang of the gun, the North Iowa Track team will be back to work in early April. The team started practice Feb. 23. Coaches are Jonathan Potter, head coach; Graig Eichenberger, throws coach; and Nate Hemiller and Courtney Kennedy, sprints coaches.

“Both the boys and girls squads are returning with a good number of experienced competitors,” said Potter. He has been coaching track and cross country at North Iowa for 18 years. “I’m also excited about how everyone has had a positive attitude in practice so far – it should be a fun year,” Potter remarked.

Last year, North Iowa sent several athletes down to the state meet, and they plan on doing so again this year.

Spencer Armstrong has made it down to state the past two years. Last season, he made it in the open 100 and

200 and as a team for the 4x100.

Armstrong is hoping this year to finish strong like his freshmen year, when he placed seventh in the 100 and seventh in the Distance Med. “I feel that I am stronger and faster than last year,” Armstrong said. Alex Paulson also qualified for state last year, in shot and discus.

“My goal is to make it down to state and get a new personal record,” said Paulson. Rachel Schutter has made it down in the open 800 and the 4x800.

She had also set a new school record time of 2:25.02 for the open 800 as a freshman.

“I like track because you can hang out with friends and get to meet new people every track meet,” said Schutter.

The boys track and field team starts its first track meet on April 1 at Forest City, and the first co-ed meet is on April 4 in Osage.

Next fall, Sydney Main will be starting the next chapter of her life.

She plans on attending PCI in Ames to study cosmetology. She is looking forward to working as a cosmetologist immediately after her classes are done, likely in January 2018. She said she will miss the long holiday breaks because PCI only gives twoday breaks for the holidays, but she is excited to pursue a career in cosmetology.

“The thing that draws me to do cosmetology is that I love to mess with hair and also paint nails,” she said.

Main really enjoyed high school. She said her favorite part of high school was volleyball.

“We had a better season than what we had last year and we got along better,” she said. Even though volleyball was her favorite, she was involved in several other activities as well. One of the activities she really enjoyed was running hurdles for the North Iowa track team. Her coach, Mr. Potter, was also her favorite teacher.

“He’s the teacher you can joke around with but still get stuff done,

and he is good at explaining things,” she said.

Main lives with her parents, Randy and Monica Main, on the outskirts of Buffalo Center. Main gives credit to her parents for helping her through the stress of her high school career.

She looks up to them for guidance on right and wrong.

“My parents have always told me to believe in myself and do what interests me. I look up to them because they can show me and tell me things that they have done wrong and what I should do right. They help me with high school by always listening to me and help me with my homework.”

Hunter Gelhaus

By Alex Paulson Hunter Gelhaus is a senior at North Iowa. He is involved in a wide variety of extracurricular activities including football, baseball, chorus, musical, FFA, and honor roll and has been in other activities in past years, like track.

“I like to be in all of these activities because it prepares you for life, and you meet a lot of people you will remember for a long time. I have met some of my best friends while being in those activities,” Gelhaus said.

One activity particularly stands out in Gelhaus’ mind.

“Football is my favorite sport because it is the ultimate team sport,” he said. “All 11 (or eight) guys to do their job in order to be a good team, and I love being able to work together as a team and get things done.” His favorite high school memory is when the football team defeated the Clarksville Indians this year after losing to them in a heartbreaker last season.

Gelhaus’ favorite teacher in high school is Mr. Meyer, the ag teacher and the FFA supervisor.

“Mr. Meyer is a great teacher that truly puts the kids before himself. His classes are fun, and he is a really great guy,” he said.

After high school, Gelhaus plans to attend Iowa State University to study Ag Business. Iowa State has been his lifelong favorite college, and he has always dreamed of attending such a prestigious agricultural school. He is very excited to get started with the next chapter of his life, but there are some things from high school that he will definitely miss.

“I’ll miss seeing my friends every day from high school, and I’ll also miss being in a small town setting,” Gelhaus said.

Gelhaus said that part of the reason he chose Iowa State University was because he can get the small town feel in a big city.

Brooke Hovland

By Sydney Main Brooke Hovland has been involved in many of the same activities through middle school and high school. Those include cross country, basketball, track, FFA, student council, national honor society, band, and big buddies. Cross country is Hovland’s favorite sport because she has her best memories there.

“My favorite memories are running at State Cross Country my sophomore year and senior year,” Hovland said. Her sophomore year she made it with her team, but her senior year she was on her own.

Hovland also enjoys running on the track team.

“I enjoy morning runs with the mid-distance/distance crew,” she said. “The breakfasts are delicious.”

The mid-distance and distance runners, who take morning runs, have a rotation of who brings the breakfasts. Hovland also enjoys running relays with her track team. Hovland’s favorite coach is Mr. Potter.

“He always encourages and pushes me to do my best,” Hovland said.

Besides having Potter encourage Hovland at her events, she also has her parents Bruce and Vivian Hovland. They come to her many events to support her.

Hovland is the youngest of seven kids. They live north of Thompson on a farm. What Hovland enjoys on her farm is being outside with her animals, and she loves when her family comes and visits. Hovland also loves to hang out with her friends.

“I’ll miss being in sports and will miss spending time with friends, especially my friends in sports,” Hovland said.

Hovland’s future plans are to attend Iowa State University. She will major in Animal science, then Hovland might be attending vet schooling after. Before Hovland attends college, she will work at the Thompson and Bricelyn pools in the summer. She worked there last year and will this coming summer, also.

Senior Spotlight

Steven Milbrandt

Logan Eichenberger

By Sydney Main

Steven Milbrandt played football for four years. Throughout those years, he was always a center. Milbrandt looks up to Coach Anderson, the high school football coach here at North Iowa.

“Coach Anderson is my role model because he pushes you for your best,” Milbrandt said. Milbrandt is in many school activities, including basketball, football, and FFA, but baseball, where he plays catcher, is his favorite.

“Baseball is my favorite because it is what I enjoy to do in the summer,” Milbrandt said. His parents are Ruth Ann and David Milbrandt. They live 7 miles south of town near Woden.

David sells two different kinds of seeds and has farm land. Steven said he will help with the seed company, but someday he would like to take over the land.

NIACC is where Milbrandt is attending next fall for welding. Weld-

ing will be his side job that way he still can help his dad with farming.

Milbrandt has especially enjoyed getting out of classes at 1:30 this year, as part of a work elective option that allows him to work with his dad during that time. He helps organize seed or does things to help the farm. Milbrandt enjoys being on the farm, but he has a favorite thing to do out of it all.

“On the farm I enjoy fixing up old tractors,” Milbrandt said.

Cameron Hepperly

By Kameron Rohwedder Cameron Hepperly is a senior who loves going to high school to see his friends and play golf and football.

“I like the atmosphere and being with my friends,” he said. Hepperly’s favorite memory from golf is getting second at Northwood and at Gruis. Golf starts at the beginning of April and ends in May. “I’m going to miss all the fun we had at practice and being together with my friends,” he said. When Hepperly is not with his friends, he uses his free time in specific ways.

“I like to listen to music, watch movies, and longboard. They all are relaxing,” Hepperly said. Longboards are a larger skateboard that have softer but large wheels to make riding more enjoyable. They are not made for stunts or tricks, just riding down hills and streets.

“Not a lot of people do it, and it gives you a free feeling,” Hepperly said.

Hepperly works at Hometown Market and Paden Construction.

Hepperly likes working at Hometown Market.

“It helps my social skills,” he said.

Hepperly plans on joining the Army to be a Military Police Officer.

He will be leaving in July to start his training.

“I plan on going to South Dakota State University to major in nursing and eventually become a nursing anesthetist, a nurse that works under an anesthesiologist,” she said.

Greensky has been notorious for knowing the exact number of days left until graduation in May. While still in high school, she has been involved in FFA, varsity basketball, varsity volleyball, golf, and showing cattle at the Winnebago County Fair.

Ivey has always been a people person, so going into nursing wasn’t a hard major for her to decide on.

“I’ve always tried to help others when they needed me to, and my

major in nursing will only further that,” she said. Greensky is currently employed at Timely Mission Nursing Home in Buffalo Center, where she works as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant).

“I love my job!” Greensky said.

He hopes to continue farming with his family after furthering his education.

Josiah Beenken

By Logan Eichenberger Josiah Beenken, a senior at North Iowa, plans on attending DMACC in Ankeny and then transferring to Iowa State for Ag business. Beenken, who has always enjoyed riding in the tractor with his dad, now wants a job in the agriculture field.

Beenken has been involved in many things throughout his high school career, including football, basketball, musical, FFA and track.

ressing at Mary Jo’s Hobo House in Britt. She enjoys doing this because she enjoys working with people.

“It’s a fun experience, and it really helps with my people skills,” Hughes said.

One thing Hughes said she will miss about high school is her friends.

She is excited, however, to move on and meet new ones. Along with new friends, Hughes also looks forward to getting involved in more activities.

Lucy Hughes lives with her younger siblings and parents, Todd and Jennifer Hughes. She gives credit to her friends, teachers, and her parents for helping her though the stress of high school “They were good help when I needed them and gave great advice,” she said.

Sam Pettit

One of Beenken’s favorite memories in high school was state track his sophomore year. He went as an alternate down to state for the 4x800 medley relay.

“It was a lot of fun spending time at the track and the hotel,” said Beenken. In the classroom, he said his favorite teacher is Mr.Potter.

“I like the way he teaches, and he is a very respectable guy and easy to understand,” Beenken said.

Lexis Julsrud-Wertjes

By Steven Milbrandt Lexis Julsrud-Wertjes, a senior at North Iowa High School, has been very involved in speech throughout her four years. Julsrud-Wertjes says her favorite type of speech is group improv.

“We have to be creative and put in many hours of hard work,” she said. She was selected for All State Speech this year in ensemble acting with Kayla Limberg. They performed “28 Days of May.” Julsrud-Wertjes has gone to All State Speech an impressive four years in her high school career. She will be in individual speech coming up.

Julsrud-Wertjes is involved in many other things, such as FFA, FCCLA, cross county, speech, band, jazz band, fall play, blood drive, and Big Buddies. She is the daughter of Larry and Jennifer Julsrud-Wertjes.

By Shamea Harris Senior Lucy Hughes, from Thompson, is excited to be heading to UNI in May to pursue a degree in nursing.

“I want to help others and make long-term friendships,” Hughes said.

Hughes was involved in many activities throughout high school.

She was involved in FFA, fall play, musical, football cheerleading, basketball cheerleading, track and field, and individual and group speech.

Her favorite activity was track and field where she throws shot put. Last year, Hughes qualified for state in shot put.

“I enjoy track because we have to work hard as a team to get the win, but it is also an individual sport,” Hughes said. Hughes also enjoys having Mr. Potter as her coach.

“He is really good at teaching new techniques. He is also a great track coach, and he respects the athletes,” Hughes said.

Hughes said that Rick Meyer is her favorite teacher.

“He truly cares about teaching his students, and he makes learning fun,” she said.

During her free time, Hughes likes to hang out with friends, go to the movies, and go shopping. She enjoys making memories with her friends.

When she’s not with her friends, she is at Timely Mission Nursing home working as a dietary aid or wait-

By Jesse Boehm Samantha Pettit, senior, enjoys spending free time with her friends.

Her favorite things to do with her friends are watching movies on Netflix or going out to eat. Her favorite place to eat is Buffalo Wild Wings.

“The most I will miss about high school is seeing and socializing with my friends,” Pettit said. She also spends lots of her time at Hy-Vee in Algona working in the bakery.

“Hy-Vee is a good time, and there is always something to do there,” Pettit said. She makes sweets and breads in the bakery, and she enjoys baking. In the summer, she works in the bakery full time and just on weekends during the school year because of her busy schedule. Pettit’s favorite teachers are Mr. Potter and Mr. Hemiller.

“They both push you to do your best and are very respectable individuals,” Pettit said. Her favorite class with Mr. Hemiller was Anatomy because it was fun and enter-

taining. She enjoys all of the classes she took with Mr. Potter because they are challenging, but he is a fun teacher to work with.

Pettit is currently working toward receiving her CNA. She will receive it in April and will be going to college for nursing to become a registered nurse after high school.

“The medical field draws me in because I like helping people,” she said.

Tiarra Jensvold

Julsrud-Wertjes said her favorite class is Government, taught by Mr. Potter.

“I learn a lot from Mr. Potter,” she said. Julsrud-Wertjes also enjoys being around her friends at school.

“My peers make the environment a positive place to be,” she said. She says her favorite high school memory is setting the school record for going to All State Speech all four years of high school.

Julsrud-Wertjes plans on going to St. Olaf in Northfield, Minnesota.

Most of her family has attended college there. Her major is undecided.

G O B I SO N !

By Megan Davis Tiarra Jensvold is a senior this year at North Iowa. Her favorite part about senior year so far was being involved in cross country and fall play.

“It was fun to be involved with something that I enjoy to do,” Jensvold said. Jensvold has enjoyed being involved in other activities too, throughout her high school career.

These activities include basketball, track, musical, and cheerleading, which she joined her senior year.

“I went out for cheer because I was out for basketball for two years, and I wanted to take a break my junior year. I went out for cheer my senior year to have something to do that I would enjoy.” Jensvold said she also like cheerleading because it was something fun that she got to do with her friends.

Jensvold’s favorite class this year is Government because “you actually get involved, and Mr. Potter is a great teacher overall. He makes his classes exciting.” Mr. Potter and Mr. Grunzke are her favorite teachers this year.

“Mr. Potter makes you feel like you’re a part of activities in the class, and Grunzke is always there to help kids. He doesn’t deny help,” she said.

Outside of school, Jensvold enjoys watching Netflix and hanging out

with family and friends, and inside of school, Jensvold has many good memories hanging out with friends as well and being involved in after school activities. She will miss these things the most when she graduates.

There are some parts of the high school experience that she will not miss.

“I won’t miss the homework,” Jensvold said. “It wasn’t interesting, and it didn’t have anything to do with what career I want to do.”

After graduation, Jensvold wants to become a dental assistant with onthe-job training.

“I think I’ll enjoy it,” she said. She will also be working as a CNA at a nursing home. In 10 years, Tiarra sees herself graduating, working as a dental assistant, and also working as a CNA.

tion to appoint Paulson and Jensvold to the employment committee for the hiring of the public works supervisor and to review any other employment action taken by the City. The motion passed with the backing of Paulson and Jensvold, while West voted no and Wubben abstained.

The Council is moving forward with the 2016 street project, and it approved a service agreement with WHKS and a legal agreement with Dorsey & Whitney. WHKS plans to have a feasibility report completed on the project on March 23, which it will present to the Council for approval. WHKS has laid out a schedule for the project, which includes filing the necessary notices and resolutions in May, with bid letting in June. Construction would begin in late July, with completion at the end of October.

The Council also held a public hearing on the 2016-17 budget during last week’s meeting. There were no public comments, and the Council later voted to adopt the budget.

The Council revisited the issue of a street light that was requested by Tom Smith for an alley on 4th St. SW. The

Motor Inn Auto Group of Estherville is proud to introduce Doug Mayland as Sales Consultant Doug is a graduate of Rake High School and Minnesota State University, Mankato. “I am excited to work with the folks in the North Iowa area. Having lived here for much of my life, including watching all three of my children graduate from North Iowa Community School, makes me especially eager to build business relationships within the area.”

County Road A38 between US 69/IA 9 and 180th Avenue will be closed beginning Monday, Mar. 21, due to bridge construction work. Scott Meinders, Winnebago County Engineer, expects the work will take up to eight weeks. A detour will be in place on A36 and 180th Avenue. See map above.

cost for a light through Alliant Energy was quoted at $10 per month if the light goes on an existing pole and an additional $16 per month if Alliant needs to put in a new pole. There is an existing pole across the street from the spot Smith had in mind. Wirth said that if it’s a matter of public safety, she thinks the City should install a light, but they should save money by using the existing pole. The Council passed a motion to install a street light on the existing pole.

The vapor barrier issue at the Heritage Town Center was handled in January when Holland Contracting applied vapor barrier paint to the inside of the exterior walls. Holland is asking the City to sign a letter of acceptance that states Holland shall not be held responsible for any future damages or the potential for any damages that could be caused by the presence of moisture inside the building. Mayor Armstrong said he’d have the City lawyer look over the letter before proceeding.

The Council discussed implementing an ordinance to regulate any potential adult entertainment business in Buffalo Center, following the controversial opening of an adult business in Nora Springs. The Council asked that the City lawyer prepare an ordinance to be

reviewed at the April Council meeting.

The City received one bid from Paul Armstrong for cleaning the floor in the Heritage Town Center, and the Council will seek another bid before proceeding.

Wirth said she’d like the City to put
