City nixes Hwy. 9 school crossing
The Leader
The Buffalo Center City Council put
a stop to the school crossing on Highway 9, which was implemented last
month.
The Council voted 3-2 at its
Village Vine
monthly meeting on Wednesday, Sept.
10, to remove the school crossing, effective immediately.
Councilman West, who made the
What Cheer Paper
motion
to remove the crosswalk, later
explained that he opposed the crosswalk due to the lack of sidewalks and
low usage. “In the winter time, it’s
going to be a snowy, muddy mess,
and there seem to be very few kids
crossing there.” Councilmen Jensvold and Wubben also voted in favor
of removing the crosswalk, while
Schaefer and Paulson were opposed.
Police Chief Matt Holmquist spoke in favor of
removing the cross walk.
While he said it’s good for
getting people to slow down
on the highway, he worries it
could provide a false sense of
security for kids crossing the highway
if someone doesn’t stop. He suggested
that the school would be willing to
add another bus stop by the Heritage Town Center if people
request it.
Councilman Schaefer expressed his frustration at the
reversal. “If you had a gripe
with it, why not bring it up
before we paint a crosswalk
on the road?” Councilman
West said that when the cross-
walk was discussed previously, it had
been added to the agenda at the start of
the meeting.
The only formal action previously
taken by the Council on the school
crossing was a motion to proceed with
research and a site study back in April.
The Council had an ordinance before
it at Wednesday’s meeting that would
have added the school crossing to the
city code.
“I felt that that stop sign on the highway was more dangerous being there
than not being there,” added West. “I
want the kids to be safe, but to me, that
wasn’t being safe. It’s much safer for
our little ones to ride that bus that’s run
by the school.”
In other business at this month’s
Council meeting, Kevin Graves from
WHKS & Co. presented designs to the
Council for the water project. He said
they are working on an environment
review of the project for the Department of Natural Resources, and he

COUNCIL from page 1
expects additional testing on well #1 to
be completed within a couple of weeks.
An inspection was done on the aeration
tower, which Graves said is in good
condition and can be reused for the
project.
The plans call for the demolition of
the existing water treatment facility, but
Graves said it may be possible to save
a portion of that building as a place to
house the emergency generator. The
new treatment facility will be located
north of the aeration tower, and it will
be hooked up to the City’s sewer system.
Councilman Wubben asked about alternatives to the flat roof that is planned
for the treatment facility. He said his
experience with flat roofs is that they
always leak. Graves said other options
are available, such as a wood truss or
metal roof, and those options will be
explored for the project.
The Council moved to approve the
plans, which will be sent on to the DNR
son and Signe Johnson. Following
the meeting, refreshments will be
served.
I wrote a letter to the editor, and I
need to retract one statement:
The Booster Club has helped the
cheerleaders in the past when they
have been asked.
I know from involvement with a
different club, and when asked for
funds, we were told no. Their funds
went to only the high school sports
– football, basketball, etc.
I was wrong in the statement they
haven’t help our local cheerleaders.
They have helped them purchase
mats and other needed items. I do
appreciate all that the Booster Club
does for the school. They are great
people that donate their time and
are very much appreciated. Never
meant harm to them as a group!
Now, if we can get them to put
handicap accessible bleachers in.
Thank you Booster Club for your
community support!
Teresa Cooper
Buffalo Center
for review.
Graves said the
project is on schedule for bid letting to
take place in February.
Rick Hopper of Jacobson-Westergard
& Associates addressed the Council
regarding the lack of a vapor barrier in
the Heritage Town Center. He said the
specifications for the building called
for the vapor barrier, and it’s the responsibility of the contractor, Holland
Contracting, to fix the problem. He said
options include placing a vapor barrier
on the current sheetrock and adding a
second layer of sheetrock or using vapor barrier paint.
The Council motioned for the City to
work with attorney Don Hemphill on
how to proceed with Holland for completion of the work.
The Council discussed trees along the
City streets. Many letters were sent out
to homeowners about tree trimming,
and much work needs to be done. Overgrown trees interfere with City equipment, such as the snow plow, garbage
truck and street sweeper.

Kim Ellingson peacefully went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, September 10, 2014, in Newport News, VA, surrounded by her children. On September 20, the family will receive friends and guests at 10:00 a.m., and funeral services will follow at 11:00 a.m. at
Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Buffalo
Center.
Kim was born and lived in Korea
until she met Lee Ellingson, fell in love
and married. Kim moved to the United
States four years later to join Lee and
start a family. They have two children,
Ona and Arlo. Kim enjoyed gardening,
quilting, especially cooking and playing
cards with family, friends and neighbors. Her greatest love was her family:
husband, daughter, son, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren, in-laws, nieces,
and nephews. Kim would always meet
you with a smile and hug. For being so
petite, she had the biggest heart ever and
was always full of love. Kim was a resident of Buffalo Center for 23 years.
Kim is survived by: her children, Ona Knudson (Rory) of Bourbonnais, IL and
Arlo Ellingson (Evevon) of Newport News, VA; five grandchildren, Megan, Jenna, Connor, Anthony and Andrew; six great-grandchildren; and extended family
members and friends.
Kim is preceded in death by: her husband, Lee; and her grandson, Corey Roof.
The family would like to say a special thanks to Larry and Barbara Weaver
and Claire Rustemier for all their love and support, Kim’s sisters and brother of
Buffalo Center.
Weymouth Funeral Home assisted the family with arrangements.

Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3
boxes. To solve a sudoku,
the numbers 1 through 9
must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once
in each row, column and
box. You can figure out
the order in which the
numbers will appear by
using the numeric clues
already provided in the
boxes. The more numbers
you name, the easier it
gets to solve the puzzle!

Prep the yard for winter weather
Apple-picking is an autumn activity both kids and adults enjoy.
Apple- and
pumpkin-picking tips
Although scores of people cite summer as their favorite time of year, autumn also is a beloved season. Cool breezes and crisp air seem tailor-made
for afternoons spent enjoying the great outdoors. The pleasant autumn weather and awe-inspiring foliage may be the reason so many festivals and outdoor
events are scheduled this time of year.
Apple- and pumpkin-picking are popular fall pastimes. Neighborhood orchards open their doors to the public, allowing men, women and children to
scour their fields and trees for the perfect finds. Heed these picking tips to
make the experience even more of a success.
Apples
Many orchards that have open picking seasons plant dwarf apple trees to
make the picking process easier, particularly for young children, so there’s no
need to bring along a ladder. You should still be able to find plenty of apples
close to the ground.
A good farmer will know when certain varieties of apples are ripe, and he
or she will likely cordon off trees that are not ready for picking. Ripe apples
will be crisp and firm. Keep in mind that apples ripen from the outside of the
tree inward. Those are the ones usually picked first, anyway.
Try to get to an orchard earlier in the season. If you wait too long, the trees
may be picked of most of the best fruit. Depending on where you live, apple-picking season may begin in mid-September and continue into mid-October.
Apples can bruise, so don’t toss them into baskets when picking. Also, wait
to wash apples until right before eating to prevent moisture-related spoilage.
Apples keep best in a cool location.
Pumpkins
Pumpkin patches are often found in close proximity to apple orchards.
Picking pumpkins to eat or decorate the home is a popular autumn activity,
one that families often enjoy together.
When visiting a pumpkin patch, dress accordingly. That means wearing
shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty, as the patch may be muddy. Layer
clothing in case it is a chilly day. Breezes are more pronounced in open fields.
Pumpkins are “long-keepers,” which means if they are uncut or not damaged, they can last for several weeks. This means you can pick pumpkins at
the same time as apples. When selecting a pumpkin, look for one that is completely orange. After picking, a green or yellow pumpkin may never ripen to
orange.
Bring along a small wagon and knife so that you can cut the vine, if necessary. Pumpkins are heavy, and a wagon will come in handy, especially with
youngsters in tow.
Ripe pumpkins should not dent easily. Examine your pumpkin for holes or
insects, which could indicate internal rot that greatly reduces the shelf life of
the pumpkin. Remember, carving the pumpkin reduces its life expectancy, so
be sure to reserve that task until close to Halloween.
If you desire a pumpkin to turn into a baked treat or other dish, you will
need a type of small, sweet cooking pumpkin known as a “sugar pumpkin.”
The meat of this pumpkin is much less stringy and more smooth than decorative pumpkin varieties.
Autumn is the season for apple- and pumpkin-picking. This is a great way
to spend an afternoon outdoors with the family. If possible, visit an orchard
on a weekday, when the crowds will be much smaller than during prime fall
weekends. TF149508

As quickly as autumn weather arrives it seems to move aside for the
blustery, cold days of winter. Winter
can catch a person off guard and the
seasons are now less predictable than
ever before.
It’s never too early to begin preparing your yard and outdoor living spaces for winter. Homeowners may be
sad to bid farewell to the furniture and
accessories of the fair-weather season,
but time is of the essence when prepping for impending ice and snow.
* Clean patio furniture. Give cushions and structures a thorough cleaning and allow to dry completely.
Cleaning items before storing them for
the winter saves time and energy next
year when it’s time once again to set
up the yard for recreation. If anything
is damaged beyond repair, discard it
and look for replacements during endof-season sales when savings can be
had.
* Move things indoors. The more
items you can store in a safe and secure location the better. Load the garage, basement or storage shed with
outdoor gear. Leaving items exposes
them to the elements, and such exposure can cause rust, wear and damage.
Flower pots and lawn ornaments also
can blow around in winter wind or collapse under the weight of the snow, so
collect these items and store them for
the winter. Take out patio umbrellas
and put them in the shed. If something
is too large to move indoors, such as a
barbecue or a pool filter, cover it with
a durable tarp and secure it with rope.
* Cover delicate trees. Depending on
where you live, certain fruit trees, including fig trees, may need to be covered for the winter. Covering protects
them from subfreezing temperatures
and helps ensure they will rebound in
the spring. Tropical plants should be
moved indoors where they can thrive
in a heated home. Do not rip out chrysanthemum plants. Contrary to popular belief, these are not annuals. They
will rebloom year after year if allowed
to do so.
* Remove water collectors. Bring in
or cover anything that may accumulate
water, such as bird baths or kids’ toys.
Water expands when frozen, and that
means water trapped in any ceramic,
glass or even plastic vessel can expand
and cause the container to crack.
* Clean up leaves and debris. Piles
of leaves not only can suffocate a lawn
and cause discoloration, but also can
be attractive homes for rodents and
insects looking for a warm place to
spend their winters. Keep your yard
neat and clean to discourage wildlife
from taking up residence near your
home.
* Cover vegetable and flower beds.
Invest in some burlap to lay down over
planting beds. This helps to keep the
ground from freezing over and minimize weeds for next season.
* Care for outdoor ponds. If you
have a pond on your property, remove
any weeds around it and fish out any
leaves from the water. Leaves will decay in the water and build up ammonia
levels that can harm fish. If the pond
is small, cover it for the winter. Also,
start cutting back on feeding outdoor
fish. These aquatic animals’ bodies
begin to prepare for winter by slowing
down metabolism. Continuing to feed
them can harm the fish when the temperature drops.
* Wrap up pool season. It’s wise
Autumn is a busy time for preparing your home and yard for the
arrival of winter weather.
to close the pool and cover it before
leaves start to drop. Otherwise you
will have a hard time of keeping the
water clean.
* Plant spring bulbs now. Now is
a good time to plan where you want
to put spring bulbs. Once you have
mapped things out, get the bulbs in the
ground. Bulbs are relatively inexpensive and will provide that first punch
of color when winter finally skips
town. FH149523
Weekend road trip tips
A long weekend provides the perfect
opportunity to hop into the car and
embark on a road trip. Sometimes it
doesn’t take an extended vacation to
recharge your batteries. A brief change
of scenery and venue can make for
quite the respite as well.
Road trips also tend to be more affordable than longer getaways. If you
have the benefit of a tow hitch and a
camper, you already have your accommodations. But even if you still need
lodging, there are several budget motels that can fit the bill for overnight
lodging along your route. Here are
some other road trip tips.
* Before embarking, take out a map
and plan your excursion. Stick to locations that are within reasonable driving distance from home. If you roam
too far, you will spend more time behind the wheel than you will enjoying
your destination. Locations no more
than five to six hours away should suffice.
* Get your vehicle in road trip shape
by ensuring it is in good working condition. If your car is scheduled for an
oil change, get one before leaving. In

addition, top off fluids and be sure that
tires are properly inflated.
* Stick to the scenic routes. While
they may not save you travel time,
avoiding interstates in favor of picturesque backroads will make for a much
more relaxing and visually inspiring
trip. Schedule rest stops so you can get
out of the car and explore along the
way to your destination. Taking backroads may also help you avoid some of
your fellow weekend travelers.
* Make your long weekend a Saturday through Monday affair. You may
find the roads are more congested Friday through Sunday. Simply starting
your trip on Saturday and returning on
Monday could save you the headache
of driving in heavy traffic.
* Scope out low-cost activities at
your destination. Many national parks
are inexpensive and may only charge
one fee per vehicle to enter. After
Labor Day, many beaches no longer
charge entry fees, making them an affordable option.
Take advantage of cooler temperatures and picturesque scenery by planning an autumn weekend road trip.

Question: What police and sheriff’s
records are open to the public
and press?
Editor’s Note: This is a monthly column prepared by the Iowa
Public Information Board to update Iowans on the IPIB’s
activities and provide information on some of the issues
routinely addressed by the board.
ANSWER: Access to law enforcement records is spelled
out in detail in an Attorney
General’s opinion, Weeg to
Holt, 82-10-3. That opinion interprets Chapter 22.7(5), which
provides public access to “the
date, time, specic location,
and immediate facts and circumstances surrounding a
crime or incident.”
The opinion notes that a news
reporter or citizen does not
have to know about a crime or
incident to obtain information
about it. The request could be
a general one, to review the
public record of police activities during the past 24 hours:
“A citizen may request [Chapter 22.7(5)] information for a
particular day or time, or for
any number of days or times.
The request is not required to
specify the particular criminal
incident for which the information is requested.”
Generally, the Attorney General opinion calls for routine access to all “date, time, specic
location and immediate facts
and circumstances” information, and the record custodian
carries “the burden of estab-
lishing facts necessary to withhold public records. . . .”
As with all condential record
exclusions listed in Iowa Code
Section 22.7, the lawful custodian, a court or another person
duly authorized to release the
information can release records under this section. Note
that other Iowa statutes and
federal laws may exclude release of certain information in
law enforcement records.

Bison edge out Panthers for Homecoming victory
The North Iowa Bison prevailed in
a high-scoring, back-and-forth contest
against the Tripoli Panthers last Friday
night, as they won their Homecoming
football game, 54-50.
The Bison scored on their opening
drive of the game, with Alex Paulson carrying in the touchdown with
a one-yard run. The point after kick
by Hunter Gelhaus was good. The
Panthers scored on a 36-yard run by
Dylan Meister, before Alex Paulson
ran in a nine-yard touchdown to give
the Bison a 13-6 advantage after the
first quarter.
Both teams ran in two touchdowns
in the second quarter, as Tripoli gained
on the Bison’s lead with the extra
points. Jared Danner ran in a two-yard
touchdown for the Panthers, followed
by a successful two-point conversion.
Paulson carried in a touchdown for
the Bison from the five-yard line, but
the point after attempt failed. Spencer Armstrong punched the ball in for
another Bison touchdown from the
one-yard line, and he also succeeded
on the PAT run. The Panthers got the
ball back with just seconds left in the
half, and after the teams traded penalties, Brayden Biermann ran 10 yards
for another Panthers touchdown. The
point after pass was good, leaving the
Bison with a 27-22 lead at the half.
Paulson led off the scoring again in
the second half with a one-yard touchdown run, followed by the two-point
conversion pass from Armstrong to
Trevor Aukes. The Panthers kept pace
with two touchdown runs by Meister.
The lead shifted back and forth in the
final quarter, as the Bison and Panthers
traded off on five touchdowns. North
Iowa scored first with a 57-yard run by
Armstrong, followed by a 19-yard run
by Meister of Tripoli. Armstrong connected with Austin Paden on a 38-yard
touchdown pass, and the Panthers responded with a 13-yard touchdown
pass from Biermann to Nick Shinstine.
The Panthers made their extra points,
while the Bison failed their attempts;
leaving North Iowa down 47-50.
The Bison won their Homecoming
game after Paden rushed in one final
touchdown from the three-yard line,
followed by the successful point after
kick by Gelhaus.
“We did a fairly nice job offensively
of running and passing, but we were
missing a few key blocks in certain
formations,” said Bison Head Coach
Don Anderson. “The kids made some
big plays in the passing game late in
the game to pull it out. Defensively,
we still are making some fundamental
mistakes, such as not reading keys –
whether it be reading the ends or lineman. We are giving up way too many
big plays from poor coverage and/or
poor tackling.
“The kids just hung in there and
found a way to get a win. I’m proud
of them for that, but we need to improve,” added Coach Anderson.
Austin Haisman evades Tripoli’s Brayden Biermann to pick up
some yards for the Bison last Friday night.
Alex Paulson crosses into the end zone during one of his four
touchdown runs last Friday in Buffalo Center.

Eisele to compete at
National Pedal Pull
Anthony Eisele of Buffalo Center is headed to the National
Pedal Pull in South Dakota this Saturday, Sept. 20, to cap off his
very first year of competition.
Eisele got his start in pedal pull competitions this 4th of July,
when he won the eight-year-old division of the pedal pull held
during Bison Firecracker Days in Buffalo Center. That earned
him a chance to compete in the Iowa State Pedal Pull on Saturday, Sept. 4 in Marshalltown, where he took second place and
qualified for Nationals. He was one of 33 kids competing in his
age division at State. More than 9,000 boys and girls participated
at State.
Eisele also won first place this summer at the Faribault County
Fair pedal pull in Blue Earth, MN. Nationals will take place this
Saturday at the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD.
Eisele is the son of Melanie Schiefelbein and Tim Eisele of
Buffalo Center. He is a third grader at North Iowa Elementary
School.

Ladies get first win during week at home
Ivey Greensky serves for North Iowa during last Thursday’s varsity
match against Belmond-Klemme.
The Lady Bison volleyball team
hosted three teams on two nights last
week, as they celebrated Homecoming week at North Iowa.
They started off the week with
their first triangular of the season on
Tuesday, Sept. 9. They faced Bishop
Garrigan in the first round, as they
lost 3-0 with scores of 16-25, 14-25
and 18-25. Rachel Hassebroek, Mica
Johnson, Kendall Melz and Rebecca
Murray had five kills each. Shelby
Berte served 10/11, Johnson went 7/7
and Murray went 6/6. Hassebroek had
14 digs, and Ivey Greensky had 17 assists. Murray led in blocks with two.
“I was pleased that our girls came
out hustling and hitting hard,” said
Lady Bison Head Coach Sharla Hassebroek. “The nerves seemed to be
gone from the week before. We looked
more like the team I know we can be.
“The Golden Bears have a couple
of very good hitters, and we struggled
defending them. Our back row worked
hard to dig up many of their hits, but
it wasn’t enough. Our hitters came
out swinging, and Ivey did a good job
setting. We ended the match with over
twice as many kills as we had the game
before! Overall, I was very happy with
our much improved performance.”
The Lady Bison earned their first win
of the season in their second match, as
they came from behind to beat West
Hancock, 3-2. Set scores were: 21-25,
25-27, 30-28, 25-21 and 15-8. Melz
led the team with 16 kills, followed by
Hassebroek with 13. Hassebroek was
perfect from the serving line, as she
went 19/19. Johnson served up four
aces, and she also led the team in digs
with 21. Greensky had 34 assists.
“The girls never gave up and seemed
to improve with every game,” remarked Coach Hassebroek. “I was
very happy with their performance
and proud of how we came together
and worked hard until the end. It felt
great to get our first win; I think we
really needed that, and it will help to
make the girls’ Homecoming week
even more special!”
The Lady Bison returned hosted
Belmond-Klemme on Thursday, Sept.
11, as they lost 3-0 to the Broncos. Set
scores were: 18-25, 23-25 and 19-25.
Melz and Murray had four kills each
for North Iowa, and Hassebroek and
Dani Yegge each had two aces. Melz
and Hassebroek each had two blocks.
“It always seems like it takes a while
for the girls to get going in that first
match, and then we have to battle
back,” said Coach Hassebroek. “We
came up short in the first game but
started off the second one great and
got off to a comfortable lead, but the
Broncos didn’t give up and beat us 2325. We have to figure out how to be
mentally tough and not beat ourselves.
The girls gave a great effort, and I am
proud of the improvement they have
showed.”
The Lady Bison will participate in
the “Spike Alzheimer’s” event this
Tuesday at Eagle Grove. The girls
have been selling t-shirts, which they
will use as warm-ups, and they put
together a raffle basket to help raise
money for Alzheimer’s research.
“Much like the ‘Pink Out’ events we
have had in the past, I think the girls
learn a lot about helping others and
supporting those who are in need,”
said Coach Hassebroek. “Please wear
purple to show your support for Alzheimer’s awareness when you come
down to Eagle Grove to cheer on your
Lady Bison!”

Irma Lockrem looks forward to each season so she can decorate
our tree.
Where did summer go? I can’t believe how fast time flies. They say the
older we get the faster the time goes
by. I would definitely agree with that.
We have been busy decorating for fall.
I would have to say fall is my favorite
season.
Over the weekend, we watched and
listened to Salzburg-A Musical Journey, The Flowering Desert, Fireproof,
Under the Hood, Peace and Power and
First Reformed Church service. This
week, we exercised to Glen Miller,
Sota Grass and Elvis Presley.
On Monday, we had our Monthly
Resident Council. During my Sunshine Group, we tried a new program
called Bridging Memories, The Golden Age of Radio. With this program,
we listened to music from Bing Crosby to Elvis Presley and then answered
some trivia question from the songs
we listened to. They really enjoyed
the program and it even sparked some
good memories. Betty Coxson came
in and led our Short Stories group.
Thank you, Betty. Monica played Penny Ante and Mind Joggers.
Tuesday, we had Card Club; we are
still looking for people to come and
join us for Card Club. We play 500,
Cribbage, Hearts and King Korner on
Tuesdays from 9:30-11:00 a.m. So, if
you have any free time, please come
and join us. Thank you, Ruth Winter,
for joining cards again this week. We
would also like to thank the ladies
from Bethlehem Lutheran Church in
Buffalo Center for hosting our Salad
Luncheon. We enjoyed all the lovely
salads you brought in and also the bars
from last week.
Wednesday, we had our weekly Spa
Day; hand massages and back rubs.
During the afternoon, we watched a
video of Danielle O’Donnell, played
Ladder Ball and Monica read the Buffalo Center Tribune.
Thursday, we had Bible study with
Pastor Peake. Our lessons were: Exodus 14:19-31, Romans 14:1-12 and
Matthew 18:21-35. Thank you, Pastor
Peake. During my morning Sunshine
Group, I read from The Good Old
Days. At bingo we had 19 Residents
and they won 13 prizes. Thank you,
Vonnie Bosma, for helping us at bingo. After bingo, we played Hang Man
and had our evening sensory corner.
We started our Friday off with exercise, then bowling. The winners this
week were; Alfred with a 159 and Geraldine with a 165. As for our tournament, we placed third out of five other
homes; two were assisted living, three
were nursing homes. The two assisted living homes won first and second
place. We’ve decided to try to see if
the surrounding facilities would like to
compete in the next tournament. I’m
very proud of our bowling team. Way
to bowl! We are hoping the rain lets
up so we can watch the Homecoming
parade.
Good luck to the Bison football

handle the fruit carefully to prevent
unnecessary damage. Sort through the
apples during harvest. Remove and
promptly use bruised or cut apples.
Also, remove apples that exhibit insect
and disease problems. Separate the apples by size. Use the largest apples first
as they don’t store as well as the smaller
fruit.
What are the proper storage conditions
for apples?
Temperature and relative humidity
during storage are critical for maximum
storage life. Optimum storage conditions for apples are a temperature near
32 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative
humidity between 90 and 95 percent.

Yard and Garden: Making the Most
of Your Apple Harvest Experience
As the weather cools and summer
gives way to fall, a favorite fall pastime
emerges: apple harvesting. Fall is the
perfect time to harvest and enjoy apples.
How can Iowans make the most of their
apple experience this year? Here are
some tips from Iowa State University
Extension and Outreach horticulturists
on the best way to enjoy apples this fall.
To have additional questions answered,
contact the ISU Hortline at 515-2943108 or [email protected].
When should I harvest apples?
The harvest period for apples varies
from one cultivar to another. For example, Jonathan apples are normally
harvested in mid-September. The harvest season for Red Delicious apples is
normally late September. However, the
harvest time may vary by one or more
weeks from year to year due to weather
conditions during the growing season.
Gardeners should base the harvest time
on the maturity of the apples rather than
a calendar date. Good indicators of apple maturity are taste, texture and color.
Mature apples are firm, crisp, juicy
and well-colored, and have developed
the characteristic flavor of the cultivar.
Color alone is not a reliable indicator
of maturity. Red Delicious apples, for
example, often turn red before the fruit
is mature. Fruit harvested too early are
astringent, sour, starchy and poorly
flavored. Apples harvested too late are
soft and mushy.

Apples stored at 50 F will spoil two to

still important today) – hopefully, the
new generations will embrace many of
these same values and characteristics.
Pointing a finger at the cause can be
difficult, however, it is my belief that
part of the answer may be that about
three decades ago the idea of having
casual days at work resulted in one day
a week in which the employee could
dress “casually” – normally it was a
Friday. That one day seems to have
transformed into “casual” work dress
all the time. The nature of the word
“casual” often means not only how we
dress but how we address the work to
be done. The productive level may not
be as high in a casual atmosphere as it
is in a formal work climate.
That casual nature seems to have
worked its way into all of society
including religious areas and how
“dressed up or down” our communities appear. There is a great deal of
“grey” and less clarity of distinct “yes
or no” in our lives.
If we treat our communities and
neighborhoods in a casual manner that
is how they often appear visually and
how people regard them. Communities and neighborhoods need a mixture
of the formal and the casual to provide
excitement and interest to both residents and visitors. Do you want a blue
jeans community or one that is dressed
in a sports coat and slacks? Maybe
you want your town to be a tuxedo
community, suit and tie community or
at a minimum a sport coat and slacks
community.
Many people think that the list
doesn’t apply to them. They believe
these are for everyone else?
Just some shared thoughts about the
basic values that may help make our
communities and neighborhoods successful and filled with pride.

Fond farewell for Stars and Stripes Iowa soybean
crop projected to
hit eight-year high
Keith Kyle lays a flag on the fire during the flag retirement ceremony held by American Legion Post 21 last Monday, Sept. 8. A total of
60 worn, faded, torn or damaged flags were retired during the annual ceremony.
A record soybean crop may be projected nationwide, but Iowa Soybean
Association (ISA) leaders don’t expect a bumper harvest due to adverse
weather.
Iowa farmers will harvest an estimated 512 million bushels, up 10 million from August estimates, according
to the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) Crop Production Report released last week. The average yield is
estimated at 51 bushels per acre, up 1
bushel from last month.
“In my part of Iowa, the crop looks
good, but I am not certain it will be one
of the best we have raised,” said Tom
Oswald, ISA president, who farms
near Cleghorn. “I expect our crop to be
above average but feel the overall wet,
cloudy and cool conditions have taken
the top end off of our yield potential.”
Until combines start rolling, ISA
CEO Kirk Leeds said projecting yields
is difficult.
“I suspect soybean yields are going
to be even more variable this year depending on late season stress brought
about by wet conditions,” Leeds said.
Nationally, record soybean production is on tap, the report said. The harvest is projected at 3.91 billion bushels, up three percent from the August
forecast. If realized, the crop will exceed the largest in a decade by more
than 500 million bushels.
Soybean yields nationwide are projected at 46.6 bushels per acre. While
a new high, the primary reason for
bin-busting production across the
country is a substantial increase in
harvested acres at 84.4 million, up 11
percent from last year. Soybean ending stocks are projected at 475 million
bushels, which would be the highest
since 2006/07.
Soybean prices have tumbled in recent months due to anticipation of a
monster crop. Grant Kimberley, ISA
market development director, said
that will create buying opportunities
,which may strengthen prices.
China and other countries purchased
more than 800,000 tons of U.S. soybeans this week, government data
shows.
“We have seen strong global demand
recently,” Kimberley said. “Given
the U.S. Soy Global Trade Exchange
conference is taking place next week
in Milwaukee, we anticipate demand
will continue to gain momentum.”
Several soybean purchasing contracts are expected to be signed between Chinese buyers and U.S. exporters for the next marketing year at
a signing ceremony during the conference, according to industry officials.
That coincides with comments ISA
officials heard from Chinese buyers
during a trade mission in July, predicting the nation would import 75 million
metric tons, which is 1 million more
than the latest USDA estimate.
“These recent projected commitments are probably a result of how
these prices are stimulating additional
demand that hasn’t been accounted
for,” said Kimberley.
Soybean export projections were
raised 25 million bushels to 1.7 billion for the upcoming marketing year
due to increased supplies, according
to the World Agricultural Supply and
Demand Estimates (WASDE) Report. The domestic soybean crush was
raised 15 million bushels to a record
1.77 billion, mostly on increased soybean meal exports.
The U.S. season-average soybean
price is projected at $9 to $11 per
bushel, down 35 cents on both ends
of the range, according to the WASDE
report.

Iowa farmers interested in reducing
soil erosion, improving water quality,
and creating wildlife habitat on their
land have until Oct. 17 to be considered for funding through USDA’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for fiscal year 2015.
Through EQIP, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
provides financial and technical assistance to install conservation practices
such as nutrient management, terraces, grassed waterways, cover crops,
manure management facilities, and
pasture management.
EQIP, one of USDA’s most popular conservation programs, is offered
through a continuous signup, but
NRCS periodically makes application selections as funding allows. Last
year, NRCS provided more than $27
million in EQIP financial assistance to
Iowa farmers.
Larry Beeler, Iowa NRCS assistant
state conservationist for programs,
says it is important for farmers to get
program applications in early. “Con-
servation plans must be developed for
the area that is included in an EQIP
contract,” he said. “When farmers develop a complete conservation plan
for their farm, it speeds up the application process and oftentimes practices
are applied more strategically.”
There are several EQIP initiatives
included in the signup, where NRCS
sets aside financial assistance for specific practices and producers. Examples include practices that improve
on-farm energy, assist in the organic
transition process, add wildlife habitat, and target certain practices such as
seasonal high tunnels.
Iowa NRCS also sets aside 10 percent of the Iowa EQIP financial assistance program for the historically
underserved, which include beginning
farmers, socially disadvantaged farmers, limited resource producers, and
veterans.
For more information, visit a local
NRCS office or go to www.ia.nrcs.

Livestock producers urged to
enroll in disaster assistance
program by Oct. 1
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) encourages producers who
have suffered eligible disaster-related
losses to act to secure assistance by
Sept. 30, as congressionally mandated
payment reductions will take place for
producers who have not acted before
that date.
Livestock producers that have experienced grazing losses since October
2011 and may be eligible for benefits
but have not yet contacted their local
Farm Service Agency (FSA) office
should do so as soon as possible.
The Budget Control Act passed by
Congress in 2011 requires USDA to
implement reductions of 7.3 percent
to the Livestock Forage Disaster Pro-
gram (LFP) in the new fiscal year,
which begins Oct. 1, 2014. However,
producers seeking LFP support who
have scheduled appointments with
their local FSA office before Oct. 1,
even if the appointment occurs after
Oct.1, will not see reductions in the
amount of disaster relief they receive.
USDA is encouraging producers
to register, request an appointment
or begin a Livestock Forage Disaster
Program application with their county FSA office before Oct. 1, to lock in
the current zero percent sequestration
rate. As an additional aid to qualified
producers applying for LFP, the Farm
Service’s Agency has developed an
online registration that enables farm-
ers and ranchers to put their names on
an electronic list before the deadline to
avoid reductions in their disaster assistance. This is an alternative to visiting
or contacting the county office. To
place a name on the Livestock Forage Disaster Program list online, visit
www.fsa.usda.gov/disaster-register.
Producers who already contacted the
county office and have an appointment
scheduled need do nothing more.
“In just four months since disaster
assistance enrollments began, we’ve
processed 240,000 applications to
help farmers and ranchers who suffered losses,” said Agriculture Secre

should be moved from unheated outbuildings and garages prior to extremely cold weather as storage temperatures
will likely drop well below freezing.
Apples will freeze when temperatures
drop below 30 F. Frozen apples deteriorate rapidly once thawed.
What are the black blotches or spots on
my apples?
The problem is likely sooty blotch
and flyspeck. Sooty blotch and flyspeck
is a fungal complex that colonizes the
waxy cuticle of the apple. Sooty blotch
appears as dark brown to black, ½ inch
or larger smudges on the surface of
the apple. Flyspeck produces clusters
of shiny, round, black dots. Individual
dots are about the size of a pinhead. Environmental conditions that favor sooty
blotch/flyspeck development are moderate temperatures and extended wet
periods in late summer/early fall.
Sooty blotch and flyspeck live on the
surface of the apple. Damage is main-
ly cosmetic. The apples are safe to eat.
They’re just not very attractive. Sooty
blotch and flyspeck can be removed
with vigorous rubbing.
Cultural practices and fungicides can
help control sooty blotch and flyspeck.
Proper pruning of apples trees and
thinning of fruit promote drying and
reduce the severity of sooty blotch and
flyspeck. Fungicides also may be necessary.

Yard and Garden: Making the Most
of Your Apple Harvest Experience
As the weather cools and summer
gives way to fall, a favorite fall pastime emerges: apple harvesting. Fall
is the perfect time to harvest and enjoy apples. How can Iowans make the
most of their apple experience this
year? Here are some tips from Iowa
State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists on the best way
to enjoy apples this fall. To have additional questions answered, contact
the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or
[email protected].
When should I harvest apples?
The harvest period for apples varies
from one cultivar to another. For example, Jonathan apples are normally
harvested in mid-September. The harvest season for Red Delicious apples
is normally late September. However,
the harvest time may vary by one or
more weeks from year to year due to
weather conditions during the growing season. Gardeners should base the
harvest time on the maturity of the apples rather than a calendar date. Good
indicators of apple maturity are taste,
texture and color.
Mature apples are firm, crisp, juicy
and well-colored, and have developed
the characteristic flavor of the cultivar.
Color alone is not a reliable indicator
of maturity. Red Delicious apples, for
example, often turn red before the fruit
is mature. Fruit harvested too early are
astringent, sour, starchy and poorly
flavored. Apples harvested too late are
soft and mushy.
When harvesting apples, pick and
handle the fruit carefully to prevent
unnecessary damage. Sort through the
apples during harvest. Remove and
promptly use bruised or cut apples.
Also, remove apples that exhibit insect
and disease problems. Separate the apples by size. Use the largest apples first
as they don’t store as well as the smaller fruit.
What are the proper storage conditions for apples?
Temperature and relative humidity
during storage are critical for maximum storage life. Optimum storage
conditions for apples are a temperature near 32 degrees Fahrenheit and
a relative humidity between 90 and
95 percent. Apple cultivars, such as
Red Delicious, stored under optimum
conditions may be stored up to three
to five months. Apples stored at 50 F
will spoil two to three times faster than
those stored at 32 F. If the humidity
during storage is low, apples will dehydrate and shrivel.
Small quantities of apples may be
placed in perforated plastic bags and
stored in the refrigerator. Perforated
plastic bags maintain a high relative
humidity, while they prevent the accumulation of excess moisture inside the
bags.
Large quantities of apples can be
stored in a second refrigerator, cellar, unheated outbuilding or garage.
Place the apples in perforated plastic
bags or plastic-lined boxes/crates. Apples should be moved from unheated
outbuildings and garages prior to extremely cold weather as storage temperatures will likely drop well below
freezing. Apples will freeze when temperatures drop below 30 F. Frozen apples deteriorate rapidly once thawed.

By Cammi Anderson Activity Director
Where did summer go? I can’t believe how fast time flies. They say the
older we get the faster the time goes
by. I would definitely agree with that.
We have been busy decorating for fall.
I would have to say fall is my favorite
season.
Over the weekend, we watched and
listened to Salzburg-A Musical Journey, The Flowering Desert, Fireproof,
Under the Hood, Peace and Power and
First Reformed Church service. This
week, we exercised to Glen Miller,
Sota Grass and Elvis Presley.
On Monday, we had our Monthly
Resident Council. During my Sunshine Group, we tried a new program
called Bridging Memories, The Golden Age of Radio. With this program,
we listened to music from Bing Crosby to Elvis Presley and then answered
some trivia question from the songs
we listened to. They really enjoyed
the program and it even sparked some
good memories. Betty Coxson came
in and led our Short Stories group.
Thank you, Betty. Monica played Penny Ante and Mind Joggers.
Tuesday, we had Card Club; we are
still looking for people to come and
join us for Card Club. We play 500,
Cribbage, Hearts and King Korner on
Tuesdays from 9:30-11:00 a.m. So, if
you have any free time, please come
and join us. Thank you, Ruth Winter,
for joining cards again this week. We
would also like to thank the ladies
from Bethlehem Lutheran Church in
Buffalo Center for hosting our Salad
Luncheon. We enjoyed all the lovely
salads you brought in and also the bars
from last week.
Wednesday, we had our weekly Spa
Day; hand massages and back rubs.
During the afternoon, we watched a
video of Danielle O’Donnell, played
Ladder Ball and Monica read the Buffalo Center Tribune.
Thursday, we had Bible study with
Pastor Peake. Our lessons were: Exodus 14:19-31, Romans 14:1-12 and
Matthew 18:21-35. Thank you, Pastor
Peake. During my morning Sunshine
Group, I read from The Good Old
Days. At bingo we had 19 Residents
and they won 13 prizes. Thank you,
Vonnie Bosma, for helping us at bingo. After bingo, we played Hang Man
and had our evening sensory corner.
We started our Friday off with exercise, then bowling. The winners this
week were; Alfred with a 159 and Geraldine with a 165. As for our tournament, we placed third out of five other
homes; two were assisted living, three
were nursing homes. The two assisted living homes won first and second
place. We’ve decided to try to see if
the surrounding facilities would like to
compete in the next tournament. I’m
very proud of our bowling team. Way
to bowl! We are hoping the rain lets
up so we can watch the Homecoming
parade.
Good luck to the Bison football
team!
