Rembrandt expansion to create nearly 200 jobs in Winnebago County
Eagle Grove Eagle
Rembrandt Enterprises Inc. in rural Thompson plans to bring nearly
200 additional jobs to Winnebago
County, in an expansion announced

last week by Winn-Worth Betco.
“We are happy to release the information that Rembrandt Enterprises Inc. will construct a large-scale,

egg processing plant to expand
the distribution of Iowa-produced,
egg-protein powder within the United States,” said Teresa Nicholson,

Executive
Director of Winn-Worth
Betco.
“This plant will include a largescale pasteurizer, pasteurizing rooms
and both liquid and dried packaging
equipment,” explained Nicholson.
“Another notable aspect of this plant
is the high-volume egg dryers. Rembrandt will be shaping the future of
egg drying in the U.S. through this
increased capacity. This expansion
project will also create nearly 200
new jobs at the Thompson location,
and we are so proud to be a partner
with them on this project.”
Construction on the new facility
will begin immediately and is anticipated to be completed by the end of
2015. Processing facility start-up is
planned for January 2016.
Rembrandt currently employs 134
people at the Thompson facility. The
new processing facility will employ

“This is a great project for my

This Tuesday, we held sub-committee meetings for HF 84, HF 88, and
HSB 93. There was good discussion
on the benefit of additional funds
for transportation to school districts
whose transportation costs are higher than the state average, and HF 84
passed sub-committee. It is now up
for possible discussion in the Education committee.
HF 88 is a bill in the Labor committee that would further define “occasional work” in child labor laws.
Currently, the law does not prohibit
a child from any part-time, occasional, or volunteer work for nonprofit
organizations generally recognized
as educational, charitable, religious,
or community service in nature. The
problem is that the term “occasional”
has not been clearly defined and the
interpretation has been inconsistent.
HF 88 defines “occasional work”
as labor up to 8 hours a day and 40
hours a week for a period of up to 6
weeks. This bill is geared especially
towards non-profit Christian camps
that hire 14 to 18 year olds during
the summer. Currently, the process to
hire teen-agers is quite lengthy, and
summer camps have asked for occasional work to be defined so that kids
can more easily be hired or volunteer
at summer camps. There was much
discussion on the pros and cons of
this bill, and we hope to be holding
another sub-committee next week for
further discussion.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill
Northey encourages eligible farm
owners to apply for the 2015 Century and Heritage Farm Program. The
program is sponsored by the Iowa
Department of Agriculture and Land
Stewardship and the Iowa Farm Bureau and recognizes families that
have owned their farm for 100 years
in the case of Century Farms and
150 years for Heritage Farms.
“These awards are an opportunity to recognize the hard work and
commitment by these families that
is necessary to keep a farm in the
same family for 100 or 150 years,”
Northey said. “If you consider all
the challenges and unexpected obstacles each of them would have had
to overcome during their life on the
farm, it gives you a greater appreciation of the dedication and perseverance of each of the families being
recognized.”
Applications are available on the
Department’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov by clicking on
the Century Farm or Heritage Farm
link under “Hot Topics.”
Applications may also be requested from Becky Lorenz, Coordinator
of the Century and Heritage Farm
Program via phone at 515-2813645, email at [email protected] or by writing to
Century or Heritage Farms Program,
Iowa Department of Agriculture and
Land Stewardship, Henry A. Wallace Building, 502 E. 9th St., Des
Moines, IA 50319.
Farm families seeking to qualify
for the Century or Heritage Farms
Program must submit an application
to the Department no later than June
1.
The ceremony to recognize the
2015 Century and Heritage Farms
is scheduled to be held at the Iowa
State Fair on Thursday, Aug. 20.
The Century Farm program began
in 1976 as part of the Nation’s Bicentennial Celebration, and 18,328
farms from across the state have
received this recognition. The Heritage Farm program was started in
2006, on the 30th anniversary of
the Century Farm program, and 736
farms have been recognized.
Last year, 344 Century Farms and
86 Heritage Farms were recognized.
“Century and Heritage Farm recognitions at the Iowa State Fair are
a great celebration of Iowa agriculture and the families that care for the
land and produce our food,” Northey said. “I hope eligible families will
take the time to apply and then come
to the State Fair to be recognized.”

HSB 93 is a bill in the Environmental Protection committee that would
allow yard waste to be delivered to
certain landfills that process methane.
It passed out of sub-committee and
will now be discussed by the entire
Environmental Protection committee.
This week, a bill to update various
income tax credit extenders passed
the Ways and Means committee. This
bill is known as the ‘coupling’ bill,
and its purpose is to ‘couple’ state tax
credit extenders with federal code in
order to eliminate confusion in the tax
return process. This bill will improve
tax credits in areas such as Iowa research activities. It will also reduce
expenses for teachers, tuition for
higher education, mortgage insurance
and nontaxable IRA transfers to eligible charities. This bill will also allow
small businesses to expense the first
$500,000 of equipment costs, which
is an important incentive to businesses purchasing necessary equipment to
operate.
Rep. Gassman is on the Environmental Protection, Labor, and Local Government Committees, and
serves as the Vice Chair of the Education Committee. He also serves
on the Administration and Regulation Appropriations Subcommittee.
His district includes Emmet County,
Winnebago County, and the northern
parts of Kossuth County, including
Algona. You can contact him at tedd.

The program emphasizes conservation performance – producers earn
higher payments for higher performance. Through CSP, producers install
conservation enhancements to make
positive changes in soil health, soil
erosion, water quality, water quantity,
air quality, plant resources, animal resources and energy.
“CSP is a way of incentivizing farmers who maintain a high level of conservation on their land and agree to
adopt higher levels of stewardship,”
said Jay Mar, state conservationist for
Iowa NRCS. “By focusing on multiple resource concerns, landowners are
able to achieve a sustainable landscape
and maintain or increase the productivity of their operations.”
CSP also supports the Iowa Nutrient
Reduction Strategy through various enhancement options. The Iowa strategy
includes practices designed to reduce
nutrient loads from nonpoint sources,
such as farm fields. Some popular CSP
nutrient reduction enhancements used
by Iowa farmers include:
• Cover crops to scavenge residual
nitrogen;
• Precision application technology to
apply nutrients;
• Split nitrogen application (50%
after crop emergence or pasture greenup);
• Plant tissue tests and analysis to improve nitrogen management.
A CSP self-screening checklist is
available to help producers determine
if the program is suitable for their operation. The checklist highlights basic
information about CSP eligibility requirements, stewardship threshold requirements and payment types.
Learn more about CSP by visiting
the Iowa NRCS website or your local
NRCS field office.

On-line voter registration Schmidt celebrates
95th birthday
coming to Iowa
Friends and family of Leona Schmidt
The Iowa Voter Registration Commission recently adopted a rule that
will allow eligible voters who possess
a valid driver’s license or state ID to
apply for their voter registration online. This system is scheduled to be in
place by early 2016.
“Voter participation starts with increased access to voter registration.
This rule is the first step in making it
easier for more Iowans to participate
in the election and voter registration
system,” said Secretary of State Pate.
On-line voter registration will be
available to eligible voters with a valid
Iowa driver’s license or a state issued
ID. This represents 93% of the state’s
eligible voters. The goal is to continue
to work on ways to expand this opportunity in the future so that on-line registration will eventually be available
to all eligible voters, including those
without driver’s licenses.
“This is a significant step,” said
Secretary Pate. “We had a productive
meeting with the DOT and are confident we can be up and going before
the 2016 election. We’ll continue to
work further on the issue to expand
voter registration to other groups for
on-line access.”
The voter registration application
will be hosted on both the Iowa Department of Transportation and the
Iowa Secretary of State website.
February is Children’s
Dental Health Month
February is National Children’s Dental Health month. The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) reminds
Iowans beginning good habits early
and scheduling regular dental visits by
age one helps children get a good start
on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
While a bright smile is an attractive feature, research shows dental health has
an impact far deeper than outward appearance.
“A child with cavities and a painful
mouth can lose focus while learning
new skills at school and at home. They
may also have difficulty eating food,
which helps their bodies to grow,” said
IDPH Dental Director, Dr. Bob Russell. “A child with a healthy mouth will
have more confidence when speaking,
eating, and smiling.”
The IDPH I-Smile Dental Home Initiative is a program that helps Iowa’s
children connect with dental services.
Using a team approach, dentists provide definitive evaluation and treatment
when it is needed. Other health professionals such as dental hygienists, physicians, and nurses are a part of a larger
network and can provide oral screenings, education, anticipatory guidance,
and preventive services as needed.

Nancy and I truly feel humbled by the wonderful turnout
of friends and relatives for the bake sale/soup supper/concert.
I can’t even start naming names, or I’d be sure to forget someone!
We thank all who attended or helped with the sale and supper.
Also thanks to all who donated goods for sale, money, and/or
time; the ambulance crew for helping serve and clean up; the
church ladies and others for helping with sale; and our kids,
grandkids, and friends for the fun program. I was also proud of
Nancy for hanging in there through the whole thing!
She and I both enjoyed seeing you all and were very touched
with the program, the large turnout of people, the distance some
traveled to attend, and all of the cards and messages sent by mail
as well. It is a very special feeling you get when showered with so
much caring.

Wednesday morning, we started our
Zumba Gold exercise class. They really
enjoyed it. After exercise, we had our
Spa Day, and then Pamper Me during
the morning sensory group. Monica
played Dirty Bingo and read the Buffalo Center Tribune.
Our lessons this week at Bible study
with Pastor Peake were: Isaiah 40:2131, 1 Corinthians 9:16-23 and Mark
1:29-39. Thank you, Pastor Peake. We
had a sing-along at our morning sunshine group. During bingo, we had 23
residents play, and they won 13 prizes.
Friday, we added more exercises to
our new Zumba Gold class. This week
at Wii bowling, the winners were: Jo
Meinders with a score of 181 and Donna Mayland with a score of 140. During
both sensory groups, we watched Sodom and Gomorrah from The Greatest
Heroes of the Bible. For the afternoon,
we had Happy Hour and Short Stories.
Our sympathies to the family of Doc
Johanson. Our thoughts and prayers are
with you.
Have a fabulous week.

Suzanne Becker passed away peacefully Wednesday, January 28, 2015 at
the Sheffield Care Center. Funeral service and interment will be held at a later
date.
Suzanne Elaine Becker was born
Feb. 13, 1947 to Raleigh and Joyce
(Shull) Becker of Sheffield. She contracted polio as a three year old; the
same disease that took her father.
Suzanne moved to northern Iowa
when her widowed mother remarried
Alfred James Bosma. She took the role
of “big sister” very seriously when her
little brother, Steven Bosma, was born
in 1953.
She was a 1965 graduate of Buffalo Center High School. Suzanne was
nominated “most likely to succeed” by
her classmates. She pursued a music
degree at Drake College and Cosmetology in Mason City.
Throughout her life, she worked at a variety of careers: modeling in Philadelphia, events coordinator at Wildwood Lodge in New Jersey and office manager for an insurance agency. In 1983, she relocated to Iowa City to manage
a retail store. She was a passionate member of the ABWA Iowa City chapter.
With the vast variety of jobs and interests, one common denominator was SHE
DID IT WELL! She gave 110% to any challenge! She always knew “the best
way to do it!”
She was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer in 1990. Like every other challenge in her life, she fought it with grace and a vengeance! She became
disabled but was considered a rare survivor. As the side effects of her treatments and polio took their toll, it became increasingly difficult for her to be
mobile, and yet she stayed connected through the computer. She did freelance
graphic design from her home, and SHE DID IT WELL!
Due to declining health, she relocated to Sheffield in 2010. Her childhood
and life-long friend Pam was there, and it was closer to her little brother and
his family!
Suzanne is survived by: her step father, Alfred James (Jim) Bosma; brother,
Steven (Sue) Bosma; her “sister with a different mother” Pamela Ricke (Paul);
nephew, Jesse Bosma (Kelsey); and niece, Katie Bosma.
She was preceded in death by: her father, Raleigh Becker; mother, Joyce
(Shull) Bosma; and grandparents, Jesse and Annetta (Deschler) Shull and Henry and Dina (Horstman) Becker.

Groups get high
marks at State Speech
The Short Film group from North Iowa High School earned a “II”
rating at last Saturday’s State Speech Contest for their film entitled “Rise of the Cliché”. Front from left are: Austin Paden, Izacc
Quisling, Makeila Shortenhaus and Aaron Embrock. Back row:
Jami Goetz, Zach Dirksen and Noah Melz. “They all did a fabulous job and represented the North Iowa Speech Team very very
well,” said North Iowa speech coach Cheri Mayland about North
Iowa’s three groups at State. “They should all be very proud of
their accomplishments.”
The duo of Kayla Limberg, left, and Lexis Julsrud-Wertjes received “I” ratings in both categories they performed in at the State
Speech Contest held last Saturday, Feb. 7 in Decorah. The young
ladies took part in Ensemble Acting, as well as Group Improv, and
they received the highest possible rating for both performances.

United Way of North Central Iowa is
seeking to have 15,000 North Iowans
participate in a five minute transportation survey.
The survey will help form a 5-year

Area. North Iowans to take the survey
include those living in the following
counties: Butler, Cerro Gordo, Floyd,
Franklin, Hancock, Kossuth, Mitchell,

tion during the evening hours, as well

“The community is responding as
we had hoped,” said Barbara Belcher,
United Way of North Central Iowa

high demand; this survey is showing
us exactly where we need to improve
public transportation.”

identifying the requirement to significantly increase the amount of funding for the administration, maintenance and improvements to our
state-wide public roadway system, including
the 2006 Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) study,
the 2011 Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) study
completed per 2011 Iowa Code Section 307.31,
and the 2011 Governor’s Transportation 2020
Citizen Advisory Commission (CAC) created by
Governor Branstad; and
WHEREAS, the 2008 TIME-21 study doc-
umented the fact that under today’s funding
structure and highway usage, over 20% of the
travel done in Iowa is by out-of-state drivers
while only 13% of the state’s road use revenues
come from out of state drivers; and
WHEREAS, the funding provided by the implementation of the TIME-21 Fund in 2009 is
inadequate to meet the critical maintenance
and improvements needs for the State of Iowa’s
transportation system; and
WHERAS, 95% of Road Use Tax Fund revenues are required by the Iowa Constitution to be
spent only on our roadways; and
WHEREAS, due to the severe shortage in
state funding to meet the critical needs of our
roadway system, several Iowa counties have
had to resort to issuing millions of dollars of
bonds to pay for their most critical maintenance
needs, which will have to be paid off through
property taxes; and
WHEREAS, Winnebago County has issued
$19,200,000 in bonds to pay for our most critical roadway and bridge needs; and
WHEREAS, the 2011 Governor’s Transportation 2020 Citizen Advisory Council report to
Governor Brandstad and the Iowa Legislature
identified the need for at least $215 million
per year of increased funding over the next 20
years, in addition to the funding being provided
by the TIME-21 revenues, just to meet the most
critical needs of our transportation infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the Iowa Good Roads Association, the Iowa County Engineer’s Association,
and numerous business related associations
throughout Iowa have publically supported the
call for increased RUTF funding;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that
the Iowa State Association of County Supervisors and the Winnebago County Board of Supervisors strongly encourages the implementation of a long-term, sustainable transportation
funding solution to address the critical needs of
our infrastructure system.
1. Provide adequate state-wide funding to
offset the projected shortfall for our most critical
needs of over $215 million annually through an
increase of the motor fuel tax revenues.
2. Enable the Iowa Department of Transportation to provide primary highway funds to
counties and cities in lieu of federal funds, providing increased efficiencies for state and local
governments.
3. Increase the permit fee for oversize/overweight vehicles.
4. New funding should be distributed consistent with the Road Use Tax Fund distribution
formula.
And, BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that the Iowa
State Association of County Supervisors and
the Winnebago County Board of Supervisors
support the ongoing evaluation of creative, supplemental solutions to increased RUTF funding.
Resolved this 27the day of January, 2015

Despite China’s refusal to approve Syngenta’s GMO

FAMILY FEATURES
E
very parent has been there. It’s Thursday afternoon and the kids are asking, “What’s for dinner?”
Searching for inspiration, you head to the refrigerator, only to realize that the groceries you bought
on Sunday have run out or spoiled. But before the panic sets in and you reach for the takeout menus,
remember that the solution for a wholesome, homemade meal is right in your pantry — or “Cantry.”
“With a well-stocked pantry full of canned ingredients, I know I always have the makings of a nutritious
and flavorful meal,” said Kelsey Nixon, host of “Kelsey’s Essentials” on Cooking Channel and Food Network. “Fruits and vegetables are harvested at their peak of ripeness and canned in just hours, making the
can one of the best ways to get food from its source to my family’s table. I just open up a can, unlock that
Quinoa Chicken Vegetable Salad
flavor and goodness and make it a ‘Cantry’ Thursday night!”
Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 10 minutes | Servings: 6
With canned food staples like canned beans, chicken, green beans and broth on hand, you’ll be well on
your way to savory meals like Quinoa Chicken Vegetable Salad and Nixon’s Pasta e Fagioli Soup.

Knights edge out Lady
Bison in NIC rematch Bison suffer losses to Newman and Osage
The North Iowa Lady Bison fell
just short of victory in their basketball rematch with the Newman
Knights last Tuesday, Feb. 3 in
Mason City. North Iowa lost the
contest 38-37, as the Lady Bison
couldn’t get a shot to fall in during
the final seconds.
Krista Schutter led North Iowa
in scoring for the night with 15
points.
“This was a close contest
throughout,” said Lady Bison
Head Coach Robert Riedinger.
“We took a lead into the locker room at the half 19-18, but we
were unable to build on that lead in
the second half. We shot three for
12 from the free throw line and 29
percent from the field and still had
an opportunity to win the game in
the last few seconds. Missed ‘bunnies’ and free throws hurt you in
close games, and we didn’t convert
well on either of those stats.”
Newman 12 6 11 938
North Iowa 8 11 11 7 37
The Lady Bison hosted Osage
on Friday, Feb. 6, when they were
quickly outmatched by the Green
Devils by a margin of 62-21.
Rebecca Murray led her team
with seven points and five rebounds. Schutter and Taylen Hinders each scored four points, and
Rachel Hassebroek made four rebounds.
“Good first quarter, and then we
could not find the basket for the
rest of the game, as Osage caused
numerous turnovers and then converted them easily,” said Coach
Riedinger. “We were held scoreless for nearly 11 minutes in the
second half, and that put us in a
huge hole that we could not overcome.”
North Iowa hosts Eagle Grove
this Tuesday for their final conference match of the season, and the
Lady Bison travel to Bishop Garrigan on Thursday for the opening
round of the Regional tournament,
which begins at 7:30 p.m.

The North Iowa Bison basketball team headed to Mason City
last Tuesday, Feb. 3, as they faced
Newman Catholic in a 60-41 loss.
The Knights opened a wide lead in
the first half, which proved to be too
much overcome as the Bison performed better in the second half of
the contest.
Austin Haisman led the Bison with
11 points, followed by Taylor Ostermann with nine and Logan Eichenberger with eight. Drew Jensen led
in rebounds and steals with four
each.
“We were able to use our offense
to get good looks at the goal; unfortunately, we were not able to convert, and they built an early double
digit lead,” explained Bison Head
Coach Chad Hinders. “We were not
able to settle down and chip away at
their lead. The Knights were able to
score 33 points in the second quarter
to build a 30 point halftime advantage.
“In the second half, we were more
disciplined, maintained our defen-
sive assignments, and finished more
of our offensive possessions,” noted
Hinders.

Jensen led in rebounds with five, and
Haisman had three assists.
“In the first half, we were out of
sync defensively,” said Coach Hinders. “We did not do a good job of
recognizing shooters and sealing off
people on missed shots. We gave
them too many opportunities with
our turnovers and our inability to
come up with loose balls. We did
a better job handling their pressure
and actually were able to get into an
offensive set most of the game.”

The JV boys lost a close battle with

Bison were led in scoring by Damon Olson with 10 points and Colin

added nine rebounds for the Bison.
“This was another close game with
Newman that we came up short.
They had beaten us by two points
just the week before and had our
number again,” said Coach Justin
Ullmann. “While it is difficult to
lose another close game, I was proud
of our team’s effort offensively and
defensively.”
The JV boys lost 47-28 against
Osage in Buffalo Center on February
6. Taylor Baumann led North Iowa
in scoring with seven points, while
Alex Balvance and Freddie Eden

share Nyman jackpot
The annual Eagle Pool Tournament is fast approaching on Saturday, Mar. 7 at the Eagle Center in Lakota. Proceeds from the tournament are distributed each year to support a number of local organizations.
Last year’s recipients included the Lakota Little League program, which received a $250 donation.
From left are: Noah Bechtel, Coach Shelby Heetland, Coach Zach Meinders and Izzy Salas.
The Buffalo Center Fire Department and Buffalo Center Ambulance
are two beneficiaries of an annual
giveaway from Nyman TV and Furniture in Bancroft.
Nyman sets aside $10 of the proceeds from every television it sells
throughout the year, with the purpose of giving that money to area fire
departments and ambulance crews.
Each person who buys a TV at Nyman is entered into a drawing, and
the winners get to choose which or-
ganizations will receive the money.
This year, Paul Armstrong of Buffalo Center was one of the winners,
and he had the opportunity to decide
who would receive $1,230 from Nyman’s give back program. He elected to split the proceeds in half, with
$615 going to the Buffalo Center
Ambulance and $615 going to the
Buffalo Center Fire Department.
Armstrong also happens to serve on
the Buffalo Center Ambulance.
Dwayne Nyman of Nyman TV and
Furniture came to Buffalo Center to
present the checks. This is the second
time that someone in Buffalo Center
has won the drawing, and Nyman
has given away a total of $18,590
through this program over the past
several years.
There have been four drawing winners from Bancroft, two each from
Buffalo Center, Algona and Burt, and
one each from Titonka, Lone Rock
and Fenton.
