Clinton’s drive-through Christmas display at Eagle Point Park opened for the season on Thanksgiving, marking 25 years for the event that features a variety of sparkling, animated, and vivid displays nestled amongst the stately trees throughout the park.

The display features 500,000+ lights and fifty+ displays, with many originals and some new additions each year, such as a light tunnel that was added last year. Other favorite displays include the American flag, riverboats, Santa scenes, reindeer, snowmen, penguins, and elves. Some light displays are animated, while others glow and glisten in the dark. The light display offers families a nostalgic holiday activity at a leisurely pace. Be sure to turn the radio to 96.1 FM to listen to Christmas music along the route.

The displays on the 1.1 mile loop are made possible by the Clinton Jaycees, a planning committee of five volunteers, and numerous community volunteers who start setting up about six weeks prior to its holiday debut. The work is usually done before the cold weather hits, with a steady stream of volunteers dedicating many hours to the

TRAVEL

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Victor Selman, a Morrison High School graduate turned globetrotter, presented “Adventure Travel in Iceland” at the Odell Public Library in Morrison on Sunday, Nov. 28.

Sarah Ford for Shaw Media

Icelandic horse, a shorter but stronger breed, wild reindeer after someone let the gate open, plus puffins, seals, and the humpback whales, with the northern coast being their feeding grounds for three months out of the year.

The country mostly runs on geothermal energy, though there is one hydro-dam for electricity. Hot springs, geothermal pools, lava fields, geysers, mossy greens, and active and dormant volcanoes are found throughout the country, which is also a very windy destination. It’s also a perfect place to see the northern lights, especially from October to April.

One interesting fact about the country is the placement of emergency pods on the main “F Roads.” Due to unpredictable weather, such as blizzards in July, the pods were placed for emergency shelter and come equipped with a heating stove, bed, and canned food for stranded travelers. “Glaciers and volcanoes are not a good mix,” Selman joked of the wintry weather.

Other interesting facts were shared, like the lack of a standing military, a police force that is unarmed, the Cod Wars and fishing rights between Iceland and the UK, maximum prison sentences of 16 years for the worst crimes, an airplane that had an emergency landing on a volcanic rock beach and is now a popular tourist attraction, imported pumpkins from the USA, tales of Viking outcasts and banishment to the Highlands, a lack of a homeless population after the country decided to fix it, and a requirement for high schoolers to know how to swim before they can graduate. Rotten shark is a historical and novel cuisine, though locals don’t want it in their refrigerators, for obvious reasons. The Blue Lagoon, a popular tourist spot, is known for its spa and mud treatments, but the warm waters are a byproduct of a nearby geothermal power plant.

Tourism and fishing are the big industry, though whaling is no longer allowed. Greenhouses are set up throughout the coastal communities, with a focus on fruits and vegetables.

Icelandic wool is a prized export, with

locals often spotted in handmade sweaters that provide comfort in all seasons and keep the wearer dry in the elements.

“It’s a very different society, very progressive, but an incredibly safe country,” Selman summarized of the Nordic country. His favored time to travel there is April, with winter storm season starting in October. He added that all the glacial water is safe to drink, and it takes about nine hours to drive around the island. The natives speak Icelandic and English, which is taught in schools. A few fancy hotels can be found, but many travelers opt

For an hour on Sunday, Nov. 28, more than 30 people were immersed in the travel experiences of a Morrison High School graduate turned globetrotter in the community room at Odell Library.

Though he’s visited 76 countries and counting, Victor Selman talked about one of his favorite destinations, the enchanting and mysterious Iceland. The “Adventure Travel in Iceland” special presentation was hosted by the Whiteside Forum as part of their monthly series.

Selman featured photos from his Icelandic travels and touched on travel secrets and hidden gems in the land of volcanoes and glaciers.

Though it only has a population of 366,425 people, Iceland is a popular tourist destination, with about 1.8 million visitors a year. Nature is the draw, with an unusual and diverse terrain unlike anywhere else, said Selman, who’s been to the European country seven times so far.

Selman first discussed the geography of the island, with two-thirds of the population residing in the capital of Reykjavik. Most of the island is uninhabitable, especially the central highlands, where the winter weather is harsh. The populated coastlines are spared the worst of winter due to the gulf stream and ocean currents, with temperatures on par to those in the Midwest. Still, 11% of Iceland is covered in glaciers and the land is bare of trees due to the ice and lava fields, and the Vikings’ use of them for heating and ships centuries ago.

Selman noted that the Icelanders like to name everything, with 269 named glaciers so far. One of the largest in Europe, Vatnajökull, is known for beautiful scenery, spectacular tours, special beers, and the “diamond beach” icebergs that are swept to the shore just after floating out to the North Atlantic. He discussed his hiking adventures through the glaciers, ice caves, and lava tubes, which can be very dangerous due to the always changing terrain.

Iceland is also known as the “Land of 10,000 Waterfalls,” though Selman called that an underestimate. The second largest waterfall of Europe is Godafoss, with the water cascading at 96,500 gallons per second. The waterway is also the final resting place of pagan statues of the past after a Chieftain submitted to the Norwegian demand to become a Christian country, or so the legends say.

Animals of the country include the native Arctic fox, 800,000 free-roaming sheep that provide wool and meat, the

for guest rooms, converted barns, or European style lodging. Advanced planning is necessary to secure reservations and entry to popular tourist destinations.

The audi ence on Sunday was engaged and inspired by Selman’s tales and knowledge of the island. After graduating, he found work as a commercial diver and in private security, which enabled him to travel extensively. He said he “found purpose” in solo travel and encourages others to do the same. After a car accident five years ago, he had to shift gears and founded No Plans Adventures LLC, which specializes in solo and small group travel itineraries, low-budget travel, and experiential travel. His website is noplansadventures.com.

The Whiteside Forum, a nonpartisan, nonprofit community group that sponsors presentations and discussions on a variety of topics, is back to holding monthly presentations postCOVID, with events typically on the fourth Thursday of each month. This one was scheduled to accommodate Utah-based Selman as he was home for the holidays, said Marc Adami. The next event will be in January, with details to be announced soon.

Although he missed some play because of injuries, Travis Schnitzler was honored as the most valuable player on the Steamers football squad.

He started on both offense and defense and was chosen for the first-team defensive unit in all-conference selections. He won honorable mention in the Chicago Sun-Times selections for All-State honors and was chosen for the All-Western second-team defensive unit.

The Fulton City Council sold about six acres of land to Ron Den Besten, president of Drives Inc. Den Besten’s bid was the only bid submitted for a long strip of land that runs through the Drives property in south Fulton. The tract is about 100 feet wide and 2,600 feet long and was the location for a railroad track in former years.

Iowa Department of Transportation officials said U.S. 30 expansion projects in some areas of Iowa have been suspended because of a reduction in revenue from road-use tax. Members of the U.S. Highway 30 Coalition in Iowa are struggling for a way to get funding for the project.

Unity Christian School participated in Operation Christmas Child. Shoeboxes were filled with small gifts, candy and hygiene products to send to the less fortunate in the world. Last year, the project collected more than 4.1 million gift boxes that were delivered to more than 80 countries. Unity Christian junior high and senior high sent 116 boxes.

Another tragic Nov. 23 fire. Nick’s Body Shop, 4990 24th Ave. was completely destroyed by fire and is considered a total loss. The first arriving units found heavy fire conditions on the interior of the building with fire coming out of a 12-foot-wide overhead door. Fire departments that assisted were Albany, Thomson, Erie and Morrison. Prophetstown stood by at the Fulton station. It was exactly one year to the day when the Blecha building on the corner of Fourth Street and 10th Avenue was destroyed.

River Bend Middle School and Fulton Elementary students chose a book tag from the Christmas trees outside the library at FES during the Scholastic Buy One, Get One Free Book Fair.

Any family member or student purchasing a book has the option of donating their free book to either the FES or RBMS library in honor of Ms. Buikema, the librarian.

RAPIDS CITY

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

It was a dream come true for Isabelle Cole on Saturday, Nov. 27, when Frosted by Isabelle officially opened in a brick-and-mortar location after months of preparations.

And with the holidays just around the corner, the timing couldn’t be more perfect for the debut of a bakery in Rapids City.

Opening her own bakery has been a dream ever since she was a little girl, Isabelle said. When the building space became available at 210 11th St. in Rapids City, she knew the time was right to make her dreams a reality.

With colorful, candy-like décor, a neon sign that reads “Eat Dessert First,” and a tantalizing display of perfectly garnished sweets, the bakery is a satisfying blend of sugary charm and entrepreneurial spirit. With delightful desserts beckoning from the display cases, the lifelong baker’s path to business owner and creator of sweet tooth confections finally came to fruition.

Isabelle graduated from Erie High School in 2017, then went to Kirkwood Community College, where she graduated with a degree in Business Administration Management. She continued her education at Scott Community College, receiving a certificate in Baking and Pastry Arts in 2020.

“I started as a self-taught baker and went to Scott to advance my knowledge and work alongside other students who share the same passion,” she said of her educational background, which helped her move closer to her dream.

She started “Frosted by Isabelle” on social media in 2019, mostly as an online portfolio to show friends and family her baking skills. The Facebook page became the foundation for her business, with word of mouth and return customers contributing to its growth. She also sold desserts at local events, which furthered her reputation as a top tier baker in the community.

“I enjoy taking ingredients and turning them into beautiful desserts,” Isabelle said. “My favorite is my scone recipe. I love baking them

and making a variety of flavors.”

Her frosting skills are also superbly sweet, from characters to flowers to seasonal décor.

Current menu items are scones, muffins, banana bread, cupcakes, gourmet cookies, glazed sugar cookies, macaroons, coffee cake, scotcharoos, seasonal dessert bars, and decorated sugar cookies, with flavors changing daily. She also offers custom ordering for that perfect party dessert.

Isabelle is the sole operator of the business, at least for the time being, though she had a few helpers, including her husband Kenneth, at the grand opening Saturday morning. A steady stream of supporters came by to purchase her freshly baked sweet treats, and free frosted cookies were offered to the first 40 guests.

The business is located next to Pulse 84 Energy Station, making Rapids City a destination for the perfect pairing of delicious desserts and specialty coffee drinks. Hours for Frosted by Isabelle are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.
