Blue Grass/Gospel Jam features area musicians A new event is coming to Buffalo Center on Thursday, Nov. 13, when a Blue Grass/Gospel Jam session will be held from 6-9 p.m. at the Heritage Town Center. This is a voluntary and impromptu gathering of musicians interested in pooling their ability and their music and just having a good time. The event is being organized by Judy Wiedemeier in cooperation with the Buffalo Center Historical Society, who will provide the lunch that evening. Everyone is welcome to come and participate or just come to listen to some great music. The event is expected to attract lo- cal as well as out-of-town musicians, and it will be held every second Thursday of the month, if the inter- est is sufficient, at the HTC. Pulled pork sandwiches, chips and bars will be provided for a free will offering, and the Heritage Museum will be open with the newest exhib- it, which focuses on the six church communities of Buffalo Center. The public is invited to come for the whole evening or just part of it. For questions, call Judy at 515-538- 0109. Area voters selected Bill Jens- vold of Buffalo Center as their new County Supervisor during last week’s general election. Jensvold, a Republican, will replace Democrat Warren “Willie” Wubben as the District 3 Win- nebago County Supervisor. Wub- ben passed away earlier this fall after filing for re- election. Jensvold re- ceived 717 votes (53.67%) to win the Supervisor seat, followed by Stacy Willert with 363 (27.17%) and Wubben with 247 (18.49%). Another important decision for lo- cal voters on the November 4 ballot was a bond referendum to build a new $4.6 million public safety cen- ter in Winnebago County, which failed to pass after coming up short of the 60% “yes” votes needed. Most voters in the county did favor the public measure, with 2,206 voters (57.19%) saying yes, while 1,651 (42.81%) said no. This was the County’s second at- tempt to pass a bond referendum for a new public safety center, and the measure did receive more support this time around. A similar proposal in March for a slightly larger facility costing $5.25 million only received support from 49.2% of voters, while 50.8% were opposed. The pri- mary difference between the two plans is that space which could have been used by the Forest City Po- lice Dept. was eliminated from the new plan, as the City of Forest City was not pre- pared to commit to the project. T h e plans for a new public safety center came about due to the deteriorating condition of the current, 80-year-old facility in Forest City and warnings from the state jail inspector that the current jail does not meet state code and may be shut down. It will be up to the new Board of Supervisors to decide how to proceed following last Tuesday’s vote. State government races On the state level, Rep.

Bill Jensvold Jensvold takes supervisor seat, public safety center measure fails nebago, Emmet and northern Kos- suth Counties. Gassman, a Repub- lican, received 6,603 votes (57.5%) to ward off Democratic challenger Dave Grussing of Armstrong, who received 4,896 (42.4%) votes. Republican Governor Terry Bran- stad easily won election to his sixth term in office, securing 59% of the vote ahead of Democrat Jack Hatch with 37.2%. Republican Paul Pate won the open race for Secretary of State with 48.5% of the vote, ahead of Democrat Brad Anderson with 46.6%. Other statewide races went to the incumbents. National office On the national level, Republican Joni Ernst prevailed in a high-profile race for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Tom Harkin. Ernst received 52.2% of the vote to defeat Democrat Bruce Braley, who received 43.7% of the vote. Ernst will be the first woman in Iowa his- tory to represent the state in the Unit- ed States Congress, and her win also helped Republicans win a majority in the U.S. Senate for the upcoming term. In the race for U.S. House of Rep- resentatives in District 4, Republican Steve King won reelection by a deci- sive margin, as he received 61.7% of the vote over Democratic challenger Jim Mowrer with 38.2%. Republicans made up the majority of straight ticket voters in Winneba- go County, with 826 (61.6%) voting Republican, 431 (31.14%) voting Democrat, 64 (4.77%) choosing the New Independent Party, and 20 (1.49%) voting Libertarian. A total of 4,275 ballots were cast in Win- nebago County. Costume winners North Iowa Betterment sponsored its annual kids’ costume contest as it hosted a Halloween party at the school on Sunday, Nov. 2. The youngest winners of the contest, who were in the 24 months and younger category, were Norah Porter, left, second place, and Annabeth Schmitt, right, who was first.

Steve Hassebroek, owner of Cen-tral States Agency in Buffalo Center, recently received the designation of Certifi ed Insurance Counselor (CIC). Fewer than 31,000 agents and insur-ance professionals throughout the country have earned the distinction. Hassebroek was granted the desig-nation after the successful comple-tion of a rigorous insurance education program sponsored by the Society of Certifi ed Insurance Counselors – a key member of the National Alliance for Insurance Education and Research, the nation’s preeminent provider of in-surance and risk management educa-tion. A voluntary educational opportunity, Hassebroek pursued the CIC designa-tion as part of the agency-wide effort to continually go above and beyond the standard requirements of the in-dustry. “It is Central States’ philoso-phy to seek out personal growth and improvement opportunities so that we can provide our customers with the best service and experience possible,”

Steve Hassebroek

Central States Agency owner receives national designation

said Hassebroek. “The CIC program is not a require-ment of our industry, however, it is the type of designation that is important in our agency,” continued Hassebroek. “It means we are putting in extra effort to be the best agents possible for our

customers.” The Certifi ed Insurance Counselor (CIC) designation and pin is a mark of distinction that represents a com-mitment to professional excellence and leadership within the insurance industry. The 31,000 designated CICs across the country are recognized as among the best and most knowledge-able insurance practitioners in the na-tion. The formal training required to become a CIC includes 100 classroom hours and the successful completion of fi ve comprehensive exams, with an annual update required to ensure that CICs maintain their edge as the most capable and current insurance practi-tioners in the industry. Hassebroek has been involved in the insurance industry for more than 20 years and is involved in several civic organizations in the Buffalo Center area.

Two Eldora newspapers join Mid-America Publishing Effective Friday, November 7, 2014, the Hardin County Index and Eldora Herald-Ledger, both of Hardin Coun-ty, will be published under new own-ership. The new owner is Mid-Ameri-ca Publishing Corporation, based in Hampton, who has agreed to purchase the papers from John Butters and the Washington Advertising Company, L.L.C. “We are very excited to add the El-dora Herald-Ledger and Hardin Coun-ty Index to our family of newspapers,” said Ryan Harvey, President and CEO of Mid-America Publishing. “John has done a tremendous job with the papers over the past few years and we look forward to continuing to build upon the tradition that he has established.” The publications will join a grow-ing group of 19 weekly newspapers owned and operated by Mid America, which include locally the Buffalo Cen-ter Tribune. Terms of the purchase have not been released. In addition to the Buffalo Center Tribune, other Mid Ameri-ca publications include; The Leader (Garner), the Kanawha Reporter, the Grundy Register (Grundy Center) and The Record (Conrad), the Wright County Monitor, in Clarion and Dows; the Eagle Grove Eagle; the Buffalo Center Tribune, The Pioneer Enter-prise (Rockwell-Thornton), The Shef-fi eld Press; The Hampton Chronicle; The Butler County Tribune-Journal

(Allison); the Clarksville Star, the Calmar Courier, The Ogden Report-er, and The Graphic-Advocate, with offi ces in Lake City and Rockwell City. The company additionally owns and operates newspapers in south-east Iowa called The News-Review, in Sigourney, The Keota Eagle, and The Sun with offi cers in New Sha-ron and Fremont. The company also produces two weekly political news-papers, the Conservative Chronicle and the Liberal Opinion Week. Ad-ditionally the company prints several TMC shoppers, such as The Hampton Chronicle’s Bonus in Hampton, The Spectrum in Lake City-Rockwell City, The Leader’s Shoppers News Review in Garner, and the Wright County Re-minder in Clarion; plus monthly shop-pers such as The Dual County Leader in Eagle Grove and the Keokuk Coun-ty Chief in Sigourney. “As a publisher of weekly newspa-pers, we feel the Eldora publications are a natural fi t in our company,” Har-vey said. “We believe strongly in the tradition of weekly newspapers.” Clinton Poock, who oversees the Grundy Center, Conrad, Allison, and Clarksville papers, will serve as the regional publisher. Day-to-day opera-tions will be handled by Scott Bierle, along with the rest of the staff in Eldo-ra, have been offered employment by Mid-America. “We’re more than thrilled ßto be a part of Eldora and Hardin County,”

said Harvey. Harvey further added that Mid-America’s interest in Eldora is partly because of the good mix of businesses operating there including both new and established industries, and employers who bring people to the community. “A community newspaper is only as healthy as the community it serves,” Harvey stated. “It is encouraging to see the commitment to commerce in Eldora over the long term.” Matt Grohe Board Chair of Mid-America Publishing further remarked that, “We appreciate Mr. Butter’s working with us to incorporate these publications into our lineup. We are very grateful for his consideration and look forward to serving the citizens and businesses in Eldora and beyond well into the fu-ture.” The newspaper will stay in its cur-rent location at 1513 Edgington Ave. and will retain the same mailing ad-dress, email addresses and phone number. Readers of the newspapers will no-tice some immediate changes however. The newspaper’s billing and circula-tion will be handled by the company’s home offi ce staff in Hampton and ad-ditional content will appear. The print-ing of the newspaper will also move to the Hampton facility rather than being printed in Marshalltown and a website and Facebook page for the newspapers will be launched within a few days.

Way back when

Advocates needed for long-term care residents Individuals who are 18 years of age or older and have a strong appreciation for older Iowans and persons with dis-abilities are being sought for a unique, fulfi lling volunteer opportunity in a number of communities across Iowa. The Offi ce of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman is currently seek-ing applicants for the state’s Volunteer Ombudsman Program (VOP), a pro-gram that was created by law in 2012 to assist the Offi ce in carrying out its mission to protect the health, safety, welfare and rights of individuals re-siding in long-term care. With nearly 22,000 Iowans residing in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, resi-dential care facilities and elder group homes throughout the state, there is a strong need for dedicated, reliable volunteers to help promote and protect residents’ rights. “The VOP has grown considerably since it fi rst started, and we are proud to have 104 trained, certifi ed volun-teers serving in 96 facilities across the state,” said State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Deanna Clingan-Fischer. “Today, our goal is to have at least one volunteer in each of Iowa’s 532 long-term care facilities to ensure residents’ voices are heard when concerns are expressed related to their care, their

wishes and their rights.” Through the program, Volunteer Ombudsmen work closely with one of Iowa’s eight Local Long-Term Care Ombudsmen in a specifi c facility to assist residents with problems or con-cerns, monitor their quality of care and ensure they are treated with dignity and respect. No previous experience in health care is required, but appli-cants must have a friendly disposition, the ability to problem-solve collabora-tively and be willing to commit at least three hours per month for one year. “Certain confl icts of interest may prevent some individuals from being eligible to volunteer in this program, including those who are currently employed by a long-term care facili-ty and their family members,” Clin-gan-Fischer added, “but the VOP will be a truly rewarding volunteer expe-rience for anyone who is interested in making a difference in residents’ lives.” In just over a year, Volunteer Om-budsmen have already made signifi -cant contributions for long-term care residents across Iowa, including help-ing to develop a veterans’ visitation program in one facility, assisting with the establishment of a family council in another and working to preserve

residents’ rights and options during a facility closure. Additional volunteers are needed to push for changes like these in their communities and ensure every long-term care resident in Iowa has a voice. To learn more about the Volunteer Ombudsman Program, or to request an application, call the Volunteer Om-budsman Program Coordinator at 866-236-1430 or visit www.iowaaging.gov/vop

In the basement of a house they re-cently purchased in Buffalo Center, Bob and Becky Frerichs found a large certifi cate, dated November 19, 1945, that issued a charter for the Kings-bury-Jurgens Post No. 4824 of Buffa-lo Center, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. On the certifi cate are the names of 43 local veterans, among them Marvin K. Wessels of Buffalo Center. The Buffalo Center Historical Soci-ety is pleased to accept this certifi cate and, as far as is known, Miff Wessels is the only living veteran of those list-ed. Miff entered the service on May 3, 1941, under a one-year draft, and was discharged after the war was over in August 1945. He served with the 34th Red Bull Division and was on the fi rst military boat to cross the Atlantic af-ter the war was declared. He landed at Belfast, Ireland for training but was soon moved to North Africa and then to Italy, where he saw the most action. Miff was part of the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy in early 1944 against the Germans and also the Battle of Anzio Beachhead in Italy, which ended on May 23, 1944 with an Allied victory.

The certifi cate has been donated to the Heritage Museum of Buffalo Cen-ter by the Frerichses and will be on

display in the military section of the museum.

Bob and Becky Frerichs, standing, recently discovered the char-ter certifi cate for VFW Post 4824. Miff Wessels, seated, is the only known living veteran who is listed on the charter.

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are for-matted as a 9x9 grid, bro-ken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, col-umn and box. Each num-ber 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!

Insurance Companies Legally Rip-Off Iowa

Injured Workers By . . .

 

Yes, insurance companies can legally pay you less than what you are owed and do not have to tell you the truth. Many injured workers fail to learn the Injured Workers Bill

of Rights which includes: 1. Payment of Mileage at $.56 per mile 2. Money for Permanent Disability 3. 2nd Medical Opinion in Admitted Claims. . . . A New Book reveals your other rights and much more so you do not get ripped-off. Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker offers his book at no cost because since 1997, he has seen far too many hard working Iowans who did not know their rights treated badly by insurance companies. If you or a loved one have been hurt at work and do not have an attorney claim your copy (while supplies last). Call Now (800)-707-2552, ext. 311 (24 Hour Recording) or go to www.IowaWorkInjury.com. Our Guarantee- If you do not learn at least one thing from our book call us and we will donate $1,000 to your charity of choice.

FAMILY FEATURES

hether cooking for a crowd or serving up a regular week-night meal for two, nothing warms the body and pleases the appetite like a bubbling pot of rich, fl avorful chili. A classic, satisfying meal, chili offers comfort in a

bowl. Easy to double up into big batches, it’s the ultimate time sav-er for busy families. You can even freeze it to enjoy later or portion it out for delicious lunchtime leftovers the next day. These three rich and meaty chili recipes make the perfect ad-dition to your weekly family dinner routine or when company is stopping by. Each recipe features the robust, savory fl avors of beef, a favored ingredient in many chili dishes. Whether served with warm rice, tortilla chips, cornbread or by itself in a bowl, don’t forget to top off your chili feast with a tasty array of toppings. With chopped chives, green onions, sour cream, specialty cheeses and other goodies, you can add texture and taste to this popular cold weather cuisine.

Mediacom Communications is offer-ing $60,000 in scholarship support for high school students who are seniors and plan to obtain further education. The scholarship program is in its 14th consecutive year and will award $1,000 World Class Scholarships to 60 high school seniors. Recipients will be selected from ap-plicants living in areas where Media-com delivers broadband and cable tele-vision services. The company’s service areas are primarily non-metro commu-nities in Midwestern and Southeastern states, including more than 300 Iowa communities Mediacom scholarship recipients may use the financial awards to sup-port educational expenses they will in-cur beginning in the fall of 2015 while

pursing higher education or vocational training from any accredited post-sec-ondary institution. Applications for Mediacom’s World Class Scholarships are available online at: www.media-comworldclass.com. All high schools in Mediacom-served communities were sent informational cards asking school officials to make seniors aware of the scholarship and encourage sub-mission of applications on or before February 15, 2015. Applicants do not have to be Medi-acom customers but must live in areas where Mediacom provides broadband, video, phone and other digital commu-nication services. Those areas and an application checklist are displayed on-line. Further inquiries may be sent to: [email protected]

Surveillance by the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Iowa Influen-za Surveillance Network shows while flu activity in the state is slowly increas-ing and remains low, there already are two strains of the virus circulating. “This is the perfect time to get your flu vaccination,” said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “Identi-fication of two circulating strains by the State Hygienic Lab means that without a flu vaccination, an individual could become ill with the flu two different times.” This season’s flu vaccines cov-er three or four strains of flu, depending on which type of vaccine you receive. Quinlisk says the early identification of several flu strains circulating in the state means the upcoming influenza season could be more severe than a typical sea-son. IDPH and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recom-mend annual influenza vaccinations for everyone six months of age and older. It’s especially important to be vaccinat-ed if you have regular contact with peo-ple more vulnerable to the complica-tions of flu, including babies, children with asthma, and the elderly. IDPH also recommends pregnant women be vaccinated to protect themselves and to

pass on some immunity to their baby. The flu is a serious respiratory illness caused by viruses. The flu comes on suddenly, and symptoms may include fever, headache, tiredness, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion and body aches. Illness typically lasts two to sev-en days and often puts healthy people in bed for days. Influenza may cause severe illness or even death in people such as the very young or very old or those who have underlying health con-ditions. Influenza is not a ‘reportable disease’ in Iowa, which means health care pro-viders are not required to notify IDPH each time a patient tests positive for in-fluenza; however, IDPH conducts year-round statewide influenza surveillance through the Iowa Influenza Surveil-lance Network. This surveillance indi-cates what types of influenza viruses are circulating and how widespread in-fluenza illness is. For more information about where and what kind of influenza is in Iowa, go to www.idph.state.ia.us/Cade/Influenza.aspx?pg=FluHome. Contact your health care provider or local health department to find out where the vaccine is available in your community or use the Flu Vaccine Finder at www.flu.gov

Autumn deer behavior, crop har-vest and peak travel times for mo-torists combine to hike the risk of vehicle-deer collisions in Iowa. Still, while that combination of factors challenges drivers, Iowa’s deer herd has shrunk, and the rate of car-deer accidents has dropped significantly. Through the second or third week of November, Iowa bucks are more active, as the breeding season builds to its peak, and they begin search-ing for does. As they pursue not-yet-ready to breed does, this creates multiple scenarios of fast moving, unpredictable deer crossing high-ways. Also, with crop harvest in full swing, deer are concentrated into re-maining cover. That often is brushy

creeks, trees or fence lines which intersect roads. A third factor is the change away from daylight savings time; placing more people behind the wheel during the deer-heavy dawn and dusk periods. Drivers can minimize risk by sim-ply slowing down, especially in those low light periods and when ap-proaching those brushy or tree lined ‘funnels’ near roads. People are also encouraged not to ‘veer for deer,’ as leaving your lane of traffic could cause a collision with another vehi-cle or a roadside obstacle, such as a utility pole or culvert. Despite the time of year and a four billion mile annual increase in the miles driven by Iowans over the last 20 years, your chance of hitting a

deer has actually declined. The peak of car-deer collisions was in 2006 at nearly 15,000. In 2013, that number had fallen to less than 10,000. This is attributed to a decade of increased deer harvest. Hunters, Iowa’s primary deer man-agement tool, increased their take of does over the last decade. That came through purchase of a liberal quota of antlerless tags, in addition to their regular deer tags. • Statewide, Iowa has a declin-ing deer herd, with the majority of

countywide reductions being tar-geted for portions of central and south-central Iowa. • Statewide, Iowa’s deer herd has been reduced back to levels that ex-isted in the mid-to-late 1990s. More than 80 percent of Iowa’s counties are at or below this population goal. Remaining counties are close to the goal. That was a goal targeted by Iowa legislators in 2003, as they instructed the DNR to reduce deer populations.

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa has spring internships available for col-lege-age Iowans, and applications are due November 15. Internships are available in Grass-ley’s Washington, D.C., office as well as his offices in Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Sioux City and Waterloo. The semester-long internship will run from January 19 through May 15. Interns in the Washington, D.C., office will be placed in one of three departments: administrative, legisla-tive or communications. An internship allows for a wide range of learning ex-perience and exposure for students on Capitol Hill. Grassley said he encourages young Iowans who are interested in learning more about the government to apply. “Interning in a congressional office is a good way for college students and new graduates to learn more about the legislative branch of the federal government while gaining valuable experience. Internships in my offices are available to students in all areas of study,” Grassley said. Application forms are available on Grassley’s website and in Grassley’s offices in Iowa. Due to security-re-lated delays in postal mail delivery to

U.S. Senate office buildings, intern-ship applications should be emailed to [email protected] or faxed to 202-224-5136. For ad-ditional information, email [email protected] or call 202-224-3744.
