Veterans Day program Friday in Buffalo Center

Students get their wish of having their Physical Education classes changed to lower impact sports, such as thumb wrestling, during the North Iowa High School fall play, The “How Tos” of High School.

The play can be seen this Friday and Saturday night, Nov. 11 and 12, in the North Iowa Auditorium beginning at 7 p.m. each night.

NIHS presents fall play The ‘How Tos’ of High School

North Iowa High School will host performances this Friday and Saturday night of its fall play, The “How Tos” of High School. The show is a combination of three one-act plays, which depict funny stories on how to “succeed” in high school classes, social life, and college interviews.

Shows on both nights begin at 7 p.m. in the North Iowa Auditorium.

The first one act play, How to Succeed in High School Without Really Trying, gives advice on the easiest way to make it through the grueling abyss known as high school. A group of student agents infiltrate an assembly to demonstrate their secret tips and tricks, ranging from legally changing your name to get around roll call, to using Tom Cruise to help memorize science terms. High school will never be the same.

The second one act, How to Kiss a Girl, follows young Ken Beardsley and his quest to get ready for his very first date. He decides to download audio advice from across the centuries in order to impress his high school crush, Steph. However, the

date quickly spirals out of control, as he tries to simultaneously follow dating tips from a communist-fearing nationalist from the ‘50s, a swashbuckling pirate, a sweet southern belle, and a puritanical pilgrim. Poor Ken realizes that if he really wants to win Steph’s heart, he’ll need to tune out his smartphone and tune in to his own instincts before it’s too late.

The final one act, 13 Ways to Screw Up Your College Interview, follows the story of two college recruiters at a prestigious university who need to fill one last spot to keep their jobs.

Thirteen eccentric, dimwitted and slightly-insane high school seniors are eager to come in for an interview. What seems like a simple task turns into a nightmare when the applicants turn out to be a reality TV star, a practicing vampire, an amateur magician, and others that are much, much worse. Each applicant’s interview hilariously illustrates what not to do at a college interview.

All three one acts join together to provide a night of laughs, goofy advice, HOW TOS to page 5

Museum opens new exhibit for Veterans Day

A new veterans’ exhibit will be on display at the Heritage Museum in Buffalo Center, beginning Thursday, Nov. 10 during Ladies Night Out and the Bluegrass Jam. The exhibit includes examples of local uniforms from every branch of service. There are also many personal stories and memorabilia from Buffalo Center veterans. The museum will be open on Thursday from 5-9 p.m., and then the exhibit will be open again on Veterans Day, Friday, Nov. 11, from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Coffee and cookies will be provided on Friday.

Quasqui selling raffle tickets for Chanhassen show

The Buffalo Center Quasquicentennial Committee is holding a raffle for four tickets to see Camelot at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre in Chanhassen, MN. Tickets will be available at Bison Graphics beginning on Ladies Night Out this Thursday, Oct. 10.

In addition to the Chanhassen tickets, the winner will receive a $50 gas card courtesy of K&H Coop. Tickets cost $5 each or three for $10. The drawing will be held during Old Fashioned Christmas in Buffalo Center on December 10.

Winners will be notified.

North Iowa Community School will host a Veterans Day program this Friday, Nov. 11 at 9 a.m. in the school auditorium. The public is invited to attend.

The featured speaker will be 1st Lt. Nathan Conlon of Humboldt.

Conlon enlisted in the Iowa Army National Guard in December of 2006 as a Field Artillery Tactical Data Specialist. He graduated from Officer Candidate School in 2010 and commissioned as a Field Artillery Officer. He deployed with Charlie Troop, 113th Cavalry from December 2010 through July 2011 as a Fire Support Officer. He is currently a Platoon Leader with Bravo Battery 194th Field Artillery in Algona.

Conlon and his wife, Amy, have been married for six years, and they have twin four-year-old boys, Breckin and Hayden. In his civilian career, Conlon is employed with the Department of Human Services as a social worker in Fort Dodge.

The Veterans Day program on Friday will also feature addresses by student speakers Naddie Myer and Jordan Ostrander. There will be music by the NIHS choir and band, and local veterans will help to conduct the program.

FSA County Committee elections begin

Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Val Dolcini has announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will begin mailing ballots to eligible farmers and ranchers across the country for the 2016 FSA County Committee elections this week. Producers must return ballots to their local FSA offices by December 5 to ensure that their vote is counted.

“Producers elected to FSA county committees play a vital role in local agricultural decisions,” said Dolcini. “Their contributions are essential to the daily operation of nearly 2,200 offices across the country. It is a valued partnership that helps us better understand the needs of the farmers and ranchers we serve.”

Nearly 7,700 FSA County Committee members serve FSA offices nationwide. Each committee has three to 11 elected members who serve three-year terms of office.

One-third of county committee seats are up for election each year.

County committee members apply their knowledge and judgment to help FSA make important decisions on its commodity support programs, conservation programs,

indemnity and disaster programs, and emergency programs and eligibility.

Producers must participate or cooperate in an FSA program to be eligible to vote in the county committee election. Approximately 1.5 million producers are currently eligible to vote. Farmers and ranchers who supervise and conduct the farming operations of an entire farm, but are not of legal voting age, also may be eligible to vote.

Farmers and ranchers will begin receiving their ballots the week of November 7. Ballots include the names of candidates running for the local committee election. FSA has modified the ballot, making it easily identifiable and less likely to be overlooked. Voters who do not receive ballots in the coming week can pick one up at their local FSA offices. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked no later than December 5. Newly elected committee members will take office January 1, 2017.

For more information, visit the FSA website at www.fsa.usda. gov/elections or contact your local USDA Service Center or FSA office.

As air temperatures continue to fluctuate this fall, so do soil temperatures. This means it may still be too early to apply anhydrous ammonia (NH3) to cropland without risking nitrogen losses through groundwater leaching.

Anhydrous ammonia applied before soil temperatures, at a 4-inch depth, are 50 degrees Fahrenheit and trending lower will quickly convert to nitrate. While ammonium will mostly stay attached to the soil, nitrate will flow with water.

“If we get more rain than the soil can absorb this fall or next spring, the nitrate is at risk to leach into groundwater, tile water, and streams,” says Eric Hurley, nutrient management specialist with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Des Moines.

Since most of the nitrogen in liquid swine manure is in the ammonium form, it should also be applied when

the soil temperature is cold and the soil microorganisms that convert ammonium to nitrate are relatively inactive, says Hurley.

Nitrogen losses can also impact crop development, says Barb Stewart, state agronomist for NRCS in Iowa. “We encourage farmers to wait until spring to apply fertilizers,” she said. “This not only prevents nitrogen losses throughout the fall and winter, but spring application ensures the nitrogen is available when the crop needs it the most.”

As of Nov. 2, soil temperatures were slightly above 50 degrees in the northern third of the state but were still in the mid to upper 50s in soils throughout the rest of Iowa. Farmers and fertilizer dealers are encouraged to check Iowa State University Extension’s Iowa Soil Temperature Map at http://extension.agron.iastate. edu/NPKnowledge/ for trending soil temperatures throughout the state.

FFA appreciation meal next Thursday for farmers and businesses The Bison FFA Chapter will hold an appreciation meal for the farmers and businesses in our communities on Thursday, Nov. 17 from 11:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

The Bison FFA Chapter will be serving grilled pork and beef burgers, baked beans, potato salad, chips, bars and beverages.

There is no cost for this meal, which is the Chapter’s way of saying thank you. Questions, call Mr. Rick Meyer, FFA Advisor, at 641562-2525.

The event is sponsored by the Southern Minnesota Coin and Stamp Club Association, a non-profit organization for the promotion of stamp and coin collecting.

Electric cooperatives launch Iowa Choice Renewables

Heartland Power Cooperative of Thompson and St. Ansgar and other rural electric cooperatives across the state have joined together to form Iowa Choice Renewables. This partnership fills a void for co-op members and other utility consumers interested in a locally trusted, fact-based solar energy option.

Iowa Choice Renewables offers customized energy efficiency consultations and high-quality solar installations. With Iowa Choice Renewables, members have one point of contact for the education, evaluation, purchase, installation, and interconnection of a renewable energy system. “We are excited to take this step,” said Heartland Power CEO/GM Jon Leerar. “Iowa Choice Renewables will simplify the process and assist member-owners as they work through sensible energy options.”

Iowa Choice Renewables was created through the partnership of Allamakee-Clayton Electric Cooperative, Postville; Butler County REC, Allison; Heartland Power Cooperative, Thompson and St. Ansgar; Midland Power Cooperative, Jefferson; Raccoon Valley Electric Cooperative, Glidden; and Western Iowa Power Cooperative, Denison.

Thank you The families of Richard Thompson want to thank Gary and Deb Garst, Mark Garst and Trent Palm for their great care and loving concern for him. A special thank you to the Buffalo Center Ambulance crew for their quick response, professionalism and hard work as they tried to revive him. Thank you to the law enforcement officers who were there giving their support also.

Our families have truly been blessed by the Rake-Buffalo Center communities with their outpouring of support, love, help and generosity. It has greatly helped us deal with our grieving for a wonderful husband, father and grandfather.

A special thank you to Joy Gelhaus who rushed to the hospital to be with me until the girls were able to arrive. Thank you to the Zion WELCA ladies for the dinner they served after the funeral. A special thank you to Lori Osland, Kelsey Griffin and the children who sang for Richard at the visitation. Words can not express our sincere thanks to all of you. A special thank you to Bart Winter, Mark Anderson and Paster Rokke, who all went above and beyond their job in their care for us all.

In the midst of all the generosity and kindness surrounding Richard’s death, we fear we may have missed acknowledging a few people’s generous gifts. Please let us know if you do not receive a thank you note from our family, as we would feel terrible if we did not thank everyone properly from the bottom of our hearts.

Autumn Stargazing program coming November 29 The Winnebago County Conservation Board will hold an Autumn Stargazing program at Thorpe Park on Tuesday evening, November 29. The program will be held at the entrance to the park, beginning at 7 p.m., and will last 45-60 minutes. Thorpe Park is located five miles west of Forest City on “I”/345th Street.

During the program, Winnebago County Naturalist Lisa Ralls will give an informal tour of the autumn nighttime sky. The summer triangle will be disappearing in the west, but the first of the winter constellations, such as Taurus the Bull and Auriga the Charioteer, will be rising in the east. Yearround constellations such as the Big and Little Dippers, and Cassiopeia, will also be visible.

People will learn how to identify these constellations, as well as

some of the brighter autumn stars.

Fascinating tidbits of information will also be shared about what people are seeing, and star charts will be handed out afterwards to help people identify the stars and constellations once they return home. People can bring along a pair of binoculars, if they’d like, and can also bring along a lawn chair, as well.

In case of clouds, the program will have to be canceled, and that 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 (@WinnebagoCCB). For more information about the Autumn Stargazing program, people can contact Lisa Ralls at 641-565-3390 or at lralls@winnebagoccb.com

ransforming that leftover holiday turkey or ham from an ordinary dish you heat up in the microwave or let go to waste into an extraordinary meal may be easier than you think.

From flatbread pizza to a hearty stew, enhancing your everyday meals is easy with cooking wines, available in flavors such as Marsala, Sherry, White, Red and White with Lemon. The premium, flavor-enhancing cooking wines are a go-to countertop ingredient and can be used to add a bold boost to any dish whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around the holidays or just pasta for an any-night family dinner.

These recipes from Guy Meikle, corporate chef for Mizkan America, Inc., show how easy it is to whip up a new twist on holiday leftovers with cooking wines.

You can also find quick tips for boosting the flavor of everyday meals on the label of each bottle.

Rachel Hassebroek, left, All-Conference Honorable Mention, and Krista Schutter, Second Team All-Conference.

Two Lady Bison receive All-Conference honors The coaches of the Top of Iowa Conference-West are honoring North Iowa’s Krista Schutter and Rachel Hassebroek for their efforts during the 2016 volleyball season.

Schutter, a junior, was named to the Second Team All-Conference, while Hassebroek, a senior, received Honorable Mention.

Schutter had to cut her season short after suffering an injury with two games left in the conference schedule, but she still managed to lead her team’s offense this season with 51 kills and a hitting efficiency of .287. In the back row, she dug out 65 attacks from the opposition, ranking second for the Lady Bison.

She was also one of her team’s best blockers, with nine block assists and two solo blocks. She served 90% with eight aces.

“Krista’s injury was devastating to her and our entire team, but her positive attitude and constant support of all the girls was truly honorable,”

said Lady Bison Head Coach Sharla Hassebroek. “We look forward to her senior season!”

Rachel Hassebroek ranked second in the Top of Iowa Conference-West in digs with 109, which came up just two short of the leader – a libero from Eagle Grove. She also led the Lady Bison in serving percentage with 95%, and she tallied nine aces.

She had 35 kills, five block assists and one solo block.

“One thing’s for sure, Rachel is not afraid to dive for a hard hit ball, and she has the bruises to prove it,” said Coach Hassebroek. “She was one of our best serve receivers and was a leader on the floor. She was also our floor captain – an honor she held for three years straight. She had a great senior season!”

Coach Hassebroek has a couple of other players she would like to recognize for their hard work, even though they didn’t get selected for All-Conference this year.

“Kendall Melz finished the season for us as strong as any hitter in our conference. She worked very hard this season, adjusting to playing the back row, and was a strong server and blocker,” said Coach Hassebroek.

“Cassidy Sachs was one of the best right side hitters in the conference and was called upon frequently in our offense and put the ball down many times for us. She was an excellent server and our ‘second setter’, when needed. Both of these senior leaders gave awesome efforts all season long, and we are grateful for their hard work and dedication.”

Hunting with Heroes honors Wou nd Warriors and local veterans for fif ed th year

President Theodore Roosevelt once said, “A man that is good enough to shed blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal after afterwards.” This is one of the quotes that local non-profit organization “Hunting with Heroes” has adopted as a mantra and as a purpose for their annual event that honors veterans from near and far each year around the Lakota Area. On November 6-9, the group hosted its fifth group of Wounded Warriors from Camp Lejuene, NC for friendship, fellowship and recognition of the sacrifices that our military makes for us each and every day.

In 2011, Bernard and Jason Becker founded “Hunting with Heroes”- a non-profit organization managed through the local American Legion Post 21 as a way to honor young men and women that fought in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. The event started as a way to honor young servicemen and women injured in battle but grew into an event that honors the dozens of local veterans from the area, as well. Through the generosity of local volunteers and supporters, this year’s Hunting with Heroes was once again made possibl event was arguably the best one yet. e this year thanks to volunteers who offered assistance and land for hunting to the their visiting Wounded Warriors from Camp As in the prior four years of the Lejuene, NC. The group of visiting Marines this year included, front from event, “Hunting with Heroes” worked left: Staff Sgt Eric Bruland, Major Stephe n Taylor, dog closely with the United States Marine handler Jim McGrady and Chief Warrant Officer 3 Brad Pottorff.

Four Marine attendees made their first trip for the event: Major Steven Taylor, Captain Andrew Yeary, Staff Sgt. Eric Bruland and Sgt. Jonathan Smart. In addition, three participants from past years came back to assist with the logistics and execution of the event as alumni members.

“Having the alumni members present at the event the last couple of years has been a great improvement, as they are able to relate to our new marine attendees and make them feel immediately at ease,” said Bernie Becker. All seven of the Marines received wounds from recent wartime efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan and are representative of the thousands of Marines who have been killed or wounded defending the freedom of our country.

The Bison Senior Center hosted a variety of vendors and crafters during Ladies Night Out on Novem ber 10, including Thrive, Scentsy, 31, Tupperware, Origami Owl, Keep Collective, Wildtree and the Heartwarmers Quilt Guild.

Retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergea nt Dennis Murra delivered the address at the annual Veterans Day Program held at North Iowa High School on Wednesday, Nov. 11. He said that veterans often consider their time in service to be one of the most defining experie nces of their lives. Murra spoke about the recent Operation LZ event held in Forest City for veterans of the Vietnam War, and he addressed some common myths about that war, noting that the majority of servicemen and women who took part in that war were volunteers, rather than draftees. He also talked about ways that young people can uphold the traditions of this nation on Veterans Day and on every day of the year, such as flying the flag, volunteering in the community, and saying “thanks” to those who have served. “If you feel that being an Americ an is a title and not a responsibility, then this nation may not survive,” said Murra. “We need everyone to serve in whatever way they can.”

Tickets for ‘A Christmas Story’ on sale

Attending the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, IN are Bison FFA members, front from left: Alexa Vrieze, Kelsi Holt, Danica Voortmann, Sidney Walton and Paige Roney. Back row: Nicole Kirschbaum, Harlie Lawson, Sydney Giesking and Chapter Advisor Rick Meyer.

FFA students tour On the Rail Farms in Fortville, IN on their way to the National FFA Convention.

Eight members of the Bison FFA Chapter headed to Indianapolis, IN on Tuesday, Oct. 18, for the 89th National FFA Convention. The local chapter members made the trip along with FFA members from Lake Mills, Forest City, Belmond-Klemme, CAL and Hampton Dumont.

While traveling to Indianapolis, the group stopped outside of Champaign, IL and toured a dairy goat farm. This farm milks about 80 dairy goats twice a day. The milk that is produced is processed right there on the farm into various types of goat cheese, and gelato (a type of ice cream) that they sell through their store and to the local area. They also have a small orchard consisting of apple and peach trees, but they had already harvested those crops. The students were able to sample some of the cheese and gelato along with touring the milking parlor, barns, pastures and the milk processing facilities.

The students learned about niche marketing and some different aspects of agriculture that are not found in the Buffalo Center area. They also learned about the amount of time it takes to develop this type of market and production system.

The group toured Beck’s Hybrid seed company on Wednesday morning and learned the history of the company and how it was started and how the company has grown in size over the past few

about what they do when training a horse, the types of feed used and why they use specific types of feed for the horses. The kids listened to a farrier and learned about what he does and how he can fix a horse’s hoof and leg problems by using specific types and styles of shoes. The owner discussed the different aspects of her business and some of the challenges she faces on a daily basis and the costs to keep a horse in her facility. She also mentioned that the area she was in had the largest per capita population of horses in Indiana.

Wednesday evening, the FFA members attended the opening session at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, where they listened to National FFA Advisor Dr. Steve Brown, the national band and chorus. They also had a special recognition on the Smith-Hughes Act that was passed 100 years ago in 1917. The Smith-Hughes Act, when passed, provided funds from the federal government to be able to teach agriculture in local school systems, since most kids didn’t go to college and went straight back to the farm.

The keynote speaker was Diana Nyad, who is an author and long-distance swimmer. She is the only person to swim from Cuba to Key West, FL. She had failed to do this the previous four times but succeeded on her fifth try, and it took three

Bison FFA members attend National FFA Convention decades to become a major player in the seed industry. The students toured the greenhouses, where Beck’s is growing corn for research purposes and for seed plot production. Beck’s talked about how they pollinate the corn; then they take the kernels and cut out the embryo and plant that into a petri dish to speed up the plant growing process. With this process, they can produce a full-grown corn plant that pollinates and produces an ear within 100 days or so.

Beck’s took students through some of their research plots, where they grow both spring and winter wheat, corn and soybeans. Some of the research included population tests, use of cover crops, and irrigation/water management trials in an effort to produce 300 bushel per acre corn.

The kids learned about some of the different careers in this company and in the agricultural industry in general. They learned that if you have the right skills, it doesn’t matter what degree you have – you can still be employed in the agricultural field.

That afternoon, the group toured On the Rail Farms, which is a horse boarding/training facility. The students learned about some of the different breeds of horses that are on this farm and the history of these horses and what they are used for in the horse industry. The group also learned

days to accomplish this. She never left the water.

She ate and drank while she treaded water, and she had other swimmers with her to protect her from the sharks. She talked about not giving up, even if you fail, and to keep trying whether you succeed or not.

On Thursday, the group traveled to the Dixie Chopper lawn mower facility and toured the manufacturing plant where they are producing multiple styles of lawn mowers for both the commercial and residential markets. They were able to see a robotic welder at work, a laser cutting machine where they make all their own parts, the metal lathes, and the assembly line.

Thursday afternoon and Friday were spent at the FFA career show. While at the career show, the FFA members had the opportunity to visit with hundreds of different businesses in the agricultural field and find out what careers they offered and what they are looking for in future employees. The students could also visit with a large number of two and four year colleges and learn about their Ag programs and degrees they offer. The FFA members also attended several workshops during this time on a variety of topics such as: leadership, FFA opportunities, careers and the agricultural industry and how to promote it and the opportunities available.

How to stop cyberbullying

By Elizabeth Olson, Katlyn Wycoff, Jesse Beck Editor’s note: These three sixth grade students in the Academic Technology class at North Iowa wrote the following article for Bully Awareness Month in October.

Cyberbullying is the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature. Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embar-

rassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles.

We did a survey. Fifty-two kids took this survey. Twelve out of the fifty-two kids said that they have been cyberbullied. Forty-eight of the kids have at least one social media account like Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, Youtube, Kik, Messenger, Skype, Musical.ly, and Google+.

Four kids said they didn’t have any social media. Thirty-nine kids said that they would be open to their parents and tell them if they were being cyberbullied, but twenty-eight said otherwise. Twenty-two of the kids said they know somebody that has

been cyberbullied. Twenty-eight of the kids said they don’t know anybody who has been cyberbullied.

The steps to stopping cyberbullying, taken from www.connectsafely. org: • Know that it’s not your fault.

What people call “bullying” is sometimes an argument between two people. But if someone is repeatedly cruel to you, that’s bullying and you mustn’t blame yourself. No one deserves to be treated cruelly.

• Don’t respond or retaliate. Sometimes a reaction is exactly what aggressors are looking for because they think it gives them power over you, and you don’t want to empower a bully. As for retaliating, getting back at a bully turns you into one – and can turn one mean act into a chain reaction. If you can, remove yourself from the situation. If you can’t, sometimes humor disarms or distracts a person from bullying • Save the evidence. The only good news about bullying online or on phones is that it can usually be captured, saved, and shown to someone

who can help. You can save that evidence in case things escalate.

• Tell the person to stop. This is completely up to you – don’t do it if you don’t feel totally comfortable doing it, because you need to make your position completely clear that you will not stand for this treatment any more. You may need to practice beforehand with someone you trust, like a parent or good friend.

• Reach out for help – especially if the behavior’s really getting to you.

You deserve backup. See if there’s someone who can listen, help you process what’s going on, and work through it – a friend, relative or maybe an adult you trust.

• Use available tech tools. Most social media apps and services allow you to block the person. Whether the harassment is in an app, texting, comments or tagged photos, do yourself a favor and block the person. You can also report the problem to the service. That probably won’t end it, but you don’t need the harassment in your face, and you’ll be less tempted to respond. If you’re getting

threats of physical harm, you should call your local police (with a parent or guardian’s help) and consider reporting it to school authorities.

• Protect your accounts. Don’t share your passwords with anyone – even your closest friends, who may not be close forever – and password-protect your phone so no one can use it to impersonate you.

• If someone you know is being bullied, take action. Just standing by can empower an aggressor and does nothing to help. The best thing you can do is try to stop the bullying by taking a stand against it. If you can’t stop it, support the person being bullied. If the person’s a friend, you can listen and see how to help. Consider together whether you should report the bullying. If you’re not already friends, even a kind word can help reduce the pain. At the very least, help by not passing along a mean message and not giving positive attention to the person doing the bullying.

Don’t cyberbully, it hurts!
