JOINING 18,000 OPRAH FANS ... in Chicago for a surprise farewell for the famed talk show host on May<br />
17 were Lauren and Mary Giesking of Lakota. The Gieskings were lucky enough to score tickets to<br />
“Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular” from a relative who works for Oprah’s production company.<br />
Gieskings, Stars Say Farewell to Oprah<br />
Two lucky Lakota ladies got to<br />
experience the show of a lifetime as<br />
they attended the taping of<br />
“Surprise Oprah! A Farewell<br />
Spectacular” in Chicago on<br />
Tuesday, May 17.<br />
Mary Giesking and her daughter,<br />
Lauren, were among 18,000 lucky<br />
fans to get tickets to the star-studded<br />
show held in honor of Oprah<br />
Winfrey at the United <strong>Center</strong>.<br />
Oprah ended her namesake talk<br />
show last week after 25 years. The<br />
Farewell Spectacular was aired last<br />
Monday and Tuesday as the two<br />
penultimate episodes of The Oprah<br />
Winfrey Show.<br />
Mary says the experience was, in<br />
a word, “Amazing!”<br />
“Like so many people, I’ve been<br />
an Oprah fan for years and always<br />
wanted to attend her show, but<br />
never made the time to travel to<br />
Chicago,” said Mary. “When Oprah<br />
announced that this would be her<br />
final season, I knew it was now or<br />
never.”<br />
While an estimated 150,000 people<br />
requested tickets for the<br />
farewell special, the Gieskings had<br />
a leg up, as Mary’s nephew, Greg<br />
Giesking, works at Harpo Studios<br />
in Chicago. He secured four tickets<br />
for the Giesking girls, as Mary and<br />
Lauren were accompanied by<br />
Mary’s sister-in-law, Barb, from St.<br />
Peter, MN and Barb’s daughter-inlaw,<br />
Jennifer, from Menomonie, WI.<br />
The ladies arrived at the United<br />
<strong>Center</strong> around 4:30 p.m. and waited<br />
outside for over an hour with thousands<br />
of other fans before the doors<br />
opened. The first show got underway<br />
at about 7:15, with Tom Hanks<br />
and Tom Cruise serving as co-hosts.<br />
Celebrity guests included Patty<br />
LaBelle, Josh Groban, Dakota<br />
Fanning, Beyonce, Madonna,<br />
Rascal Flatts, and Diane Sawyer.<br />
Will Smith opened the second<br />
show, and Oprah and the audience<br />
were suprised with an appearance<br />
by former Chicago Bulls Star,<br />
Michael Jordan. More celebrities<br />
graced the stage, including Jerry<br />
Seinfeld, Maria Shriver, Rosie<br />
O’Donnell, Maya Angelou and<br />
Aretha Franklin. Usher closed the<br />
show with a performance of “Oh<br />
Happy Day!” “Everyone was on<br />
their feet singing along as confetti<br />
shot over the stage,” described<br />
Mary.<br />
“The entire experience was<br />
mind-blowing,” Mary added.<br />
“There was so much energy and tal-<br />
ent.”<br />
The Oprah Winfrey Show first<br />
aired in 1986, and Mary says she<br />
remembers watching a few<br />
episodes with her roommates in<br />
college. Now a fourth grade teacher<br />
at North Iowa Elementary School,<br />
Mary hasn’t been able to get home<br />
from school in time to watch Oprah,<br />
but she has had her DVR set to<br />
record each episode. “When I have<br />
the time, and control of the remote,<br />
I have a personal Oprah marathon,”<br />
said Mary.<br />
While The Oprah Winfrey Show<br />
is now over, Oprah’s fans aren’t<br />
being left out in the cold. She<br />
launched a cable channel earlier this<br />
year, called OWN: Oprah Winfrey<br />
Network, and her future plans<br />
include hosting a prime-time show<br />
on the channel.<br />
Vacation Bible School Next Week<br />
The Vacation Bible School program<br />
in <strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, provided<br />
by First Reformed, First<br />
Congregational, United Methodist,<br />
and Bethlehem Lutheran Churches,<br />
will run from June 6-10, from 5:30<br />
to 8:30 p.m. each evening. VBS<br />
will be held this year at United<br />
Methodist Church. All children four<br />
years old through 6th grade are welcome<br />
to attend. You do not have to<br />
be connected to one of these<br />
churches to attend.<br />
This event is free for all attending.<br />
Registration will be the first<br />
night. Meals will be served at 5:30<br />
for the children, but please do not<br />
send children to the church before<br />
5:30. A program will be held at 7:00<br />
p.m. on Friday night.<br />
The focus of the week is God’s<br />
Recipe, and because of that, VBS<br />
coordinators are asking the kids to<br />
do certain things. The first is to<br />
wear certain colored clothes for<br />
each night, or at least shirts. Colors<br />
for each day are: Monday - orange,<br />
Tuesday - green, Wednesday - red,<br />
Thursday - purple, and Friday -<br />
blue.<br />
The kids are also asked to bring<br />
food for the food bank as part of<br />
their daily offering. The packaging<br />
of the non-perishable food items<br />
should also match the color for the<br />
night. Every night, there will also<br />
be a challenge offering that will go<br />
to Heifer International.<br />
SWIMSUIT SEASON HAS ARRIVED ... as the <strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Center</strong> Swimming Pool opened its gates for the summer last week. While opening<br />
day on Wednesday was a bust with cool and rainy weather, 4th and 5th grade students at North Iowa Elementary got a chance to hit the<br />
water during P.E. class last Tuesday.
BOB TALES<br />
Introduction by Carol Dee<br />
Heitland Maxwell.<br />
My father, G. Bob Heitland, was<br />
a man of few words. For years, my<br />
sister, Doris, brother, Burr and I<br />
knew very little of his family or<br />
boyhood. We do know that he was<br />
born in Chapin, Iowa, but later<br />
moved to Wolsey, South Dakota,<br />
probably around 1908. At age 17,<br />
he and his parents moved to <strong>Buffalo</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong>, Iowa where he remained<br />
until 1957. Upon his retirement<br />
from Jensvold Implement Co., he<br />
and our mother moved to Ft.<br />
Lauderdale, Florida where he<br />
opened a Phillips 66 gas station.<br />
However, after he suffered a massive<br />
brain hemorrhage in 1964,<br />
things changed. He was totally<br />
paralyzed on the left side and was<br />
in constant pain, thereby preventing<br />
him from receiving therapy.<br />
Consequent-ly, he spent the next ten<br />
years in bed or a wheelchair. To<br />
counteract boredom and despair,<br />
he asked our mother to fix him a<br />
board across the arms of his wheelchair<br />
so that he could write. This<br />
was the beginning of what I like to<br />
call "Bob Tales."<br />
HARVEST TIME - 1906<br />
By G. Bob Heitland<br />
The year was 1906, the hour<br />
6:00 a.m. according to the alarm<br />
clock on the shelf in our room. It<br />
was not the alarm which had awakened<br />
me, however, but a lot of noises<br />
coming from the kitchen and<br />
carried up the stairs through a door<br />
which someone had forgotten to<br />
close. Strange smells, too, came<br />
floating up, and helped to awaken<br />
me.<br />
I stumbled sleepily down the<br />
stairs and carefully peeked around<br />
the door into the kitchen. The place<br />
was full of women, and all seemed<br />
to be working at something. They<br />
had added boards to the kitchen<br />
table. The now-very-large top was<br />
covered with an assortment of pots,<br />
pans, roaster, and kettles. Someone<br />
spotted me, and I was quickly<br />
pulled in. I was handed a milk pail<br />
with instructions to go out in the<br />
orchard and pick up the nicest<br />
apples I could find, some that were<br />
not damaged by birds or by the fall<br />
onto the ground.<br />
Outside the house I found Dad<br />
building a bench about three feet<br />
high and ten feet long. He was also<br />
tying a clothesline from one tree to<br />
another. Seeing my curiosity (as<br />
any six year-old-boy is full of), he<br />
explained this was a washstand and<br />
a place to hang towels. Today was<br />
the day the threshers were coming<br />
and would soon arrive. No wonder<br />
we had all those cooks in the<br />
kitchen. This was a big day on the<br />
farm. Everybody would be here.<br />
All the neighbors for miles around,<br />
and the kids too, generally came to<br />
share in the excitement.<br />
About this time, a shrill blast<br />
from a steam whistle let us know<br />
that the machine had arrived at our<br />
gate. Running out to meet it, I saw<br />
the big steam tractor coming up the<br />
lane through the trees, making<br />
strange noises and belching big<br />
clouds of black smoke from its long<br />
stack at the front end. Following<br />
closely behind it was the big boxlike<br />
threshing machine, with its<br />
sides all clustered with varying<br />
sizes of pulleys connected by belts<br />
running in all directions. Behind<br />
this came a team of horses pulling<br />
the water wagon, which was a long<br />
tank mounted on wheels and having<br />
a seat at the front for the driver.<br />
I ran quickly over behind this<br />
parade to see what kind of tracks<br />
this ten-ton monster was making in<br />
our yard.<br />
Then I followed it across the<br />
yard and up the hill between our<br />
barn and granary. It went through<br />
the gate to the back farmyard where<br />
the remains of an old straw pile<br />
caused a problem. It was necessary<br />

for them to circle it to get in position<br />
to make the new straw pile<br />
right next to the old one. Dad came<br />
out to show them exactly where he<br />
wanted it. They maneuvered<br />
around to the exact position that he<br />
pointed out.<br />
The separator man (the separator<br />
was the big box-like machine<br />
which did the threshing) got out his<br />
spirit level and checked the<br />
machine in both directions to see<br />
that it stood level. This was necessary<br />
to ensure a good job of cleaning<br />
the grain. Now the engineer<br />
backed up the big steamer until he<br />
was about fifty feet away and facing<br />
the separator. Here, he stopped<br />
and ran over to the machine and<br />
unrolled a hundred foot roll of canvas<br />
and rubber belting. Then, with<br />
the help of the separator man, he<br />
put one end of this belt over the big<br />
pulley on the right side of the<br />
steamer while the other end was put<br />
over a smaller pulley on the front of<br />
the separator.<br />
While this was going on, eight<br />
of the neighbors' young men had<br />
arrived with hay racks. They were<br />
out in the oats field loading up the<br />
shocks of grain. Now the first ones<br />
returned to the yard with a full load<br />
of bundles. The separator man<br />
unfolded the feeder, which was a<br />
long trough with a traveling apron<br />
in the bottom which would carry<br />
the bundles of grain up into the<br />
machine. In its extended position,<br />
this feeder was sixteen feet long. It<br />
gave the boys a chance to pull their<br />
loads of bundles along side and<br />
made it easy to unload into the<br />
feeder. With a load in position on<br />
each side, the engineer climbed up<br />
on his platform, gave three short<br />
blasts on the whistle, and slowly<br />
backed up the steamer until the<br />
long belt between the two machines<br />
was as tight as a fiddle string.<br />
At the same time, the separator<br />
man was turning a wheel at the<br />

TRIBUNE FILES OF<br />
THURSDAY, May 31, 2001<br />
On the last day of the 2000-<br />
2001 school year, students in<br />
Kindergarten through grade 4 gathered<br />
on the west side of the school<br />
to hold a quick groundbreaking ceremony<br />
between rain showers. With<br />
the students, faculty, and staff gathered<br />
in a half-circle, Supt. Larry D.<br />
Hill shared with the gathering the<br />
plans to demolish part of the building<br />
and what was going to be built<br />
in that space. As students returned<br />
to the building following the ceremony,<br />
they gave the old building a<br />
“high five” because they would<br />
never see the building the same<br />
again.<br />
Several Grant Gleaners 4-H<br />
members and their leaders, Barb<br />
Murra and Marilee Siemens, with<br />
Robin Kettwick, were out in force<br />
Tuesday afternoon to fill the circular<br />
wooden planters set up along<br />
Main Street with colorful flowers-<br />
<strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Center</strong>’s official flower -<br />
the petunia.<br />
back of the machine which brought<br />
the big pipe known as the blower<br />
pipe up into position. He turned it<br />
around so that it pointed to the spot<br />
where Dad had told him to put the<br />
straw stack. The engineer gave two<br />
short blasts on his whistle and<br />
slowly moved a short lever in front<br />
of him. With a hiss of steam, the<br />
big wheel carrying the belt began to<br />
rotate. As the belt moved, every<br />
pulley wheel on the separator<br />
began to move at the same time.<br />
Slowly it picked up speed, and a<br />
low hum came from the big<br />
machine. The apron in the bottom<br />
of the feeder began to move. The<br />
two boys started throwing bundles<br />
into the feeder. The bundles were<br />
carried slowly back to the opening<br />
in the front end of the separator<br />
where a row of large whirling<br />
knives quickly cut the strings on<br />
the bundles and gave the straw an<br />
extra boost into the machine.<br />
The engineer tossed a shovel of<br />
coal into the firebox. A big cloud<br />
of black smoke at once came out of<br />
the stack and drifted lazily away.<br />
The separator man stood on top of<br />
his machine. He kept an eye on<br />
everything, including the bundlehauling<br />
boys, to make sure they<br />
pitched the bundles into the feeder<br />
correctly and not crossways or doubled<br />
up. He could tell by the<br />
sounds if everything was operating<br />
properly. He would signal the engineer<br />
to stop if anything was wrong.<br />

125th Anniversary on June 11 and<br />

is “Our Heritage: Faith,<br />
Family, Missions” as the congregation<br />
centers on the Bible verse from<br />
Colossians 3:12, “God loves you<br />
and has chosen you as his own special<br />
people.” They invite everyone<br />
to join them for this<br />
Quasquicentennial Celebration.<br />
On Saturday, June 11, from 1:00<br />
- 5:00 p.m. there will be a “High<br />
Tea” in the church Fellowship Hall.<br />
Coffee, tea and refreshments will<br />
be served. This will be a time for<br />

stories of the past, and to view a<br />
slide show presentation of pictures<br />
and events of the church.<br />
Memorabilia will be on display,<br />
and 125th Anniversary items for<br />
sale include Tea Cups & Saucers,<br />

God has blessed this rural congregation<br />
with 125 years of ministry<br />
and service as they continue to<br />
bloom on the prairie for Christ.<br />

News from<br />
TMNH<br />
It’s been another wet week.<br />
Good Spring weather just isn’t<br />
ready for us yet. (We’re all ready<br />
though!)<br />
This week, we had a change of<br />
day for our program. (It was well<br />
worth the wait of an extra day.) The<br />
Lakota American Legion Auxiliary<br />
and kids from Lakota put on a<br />
Memorial Day program. It was so<br />
nice and very well done. It made us<br />
feel very ‘special’ to think they<br />
come here to do it for us. We certainly<br />
do thank all of them for their<br />
parts in the program.<br />
Tuesday afternoon, we had a<br />
special treat of ice cream in sugar<br />
cones. That was real good. Ice<br />
cream is good any time.<br />
Ruth Smith celebrated her birthday<br />
on Monday. We sang Happy<br />
Birthday to her at noon and she furnished<br />
ice cream and wafers for our<br />
dinner.<br />

This week, we had games of<br />
penny pitch, noodles, bacca ball,<br />
and circle bean bag toss along with<br />
exercise, reading, Bible Study, let’s<br />
talk, current events, and a special<br />
time for ice cream cones one afternoon.<br />
Since this is Memorial Day<br />
weekend, and we usually have a lot<br />
of company, there was no special<br />
activity planned for Saturday. So<br />
stop in any time for a visit.<br />
Sunday, Pastor Shannon held the<br />
church services. We thank her for<br />
coming. This will probably be her<br />
last Sunday doing this for us as she<br />
is moving on to a new church to<br />
serve. She will be at the Sibley-<br />
Ocheyedan Charge. We wish her<br />
well and thanks for the times you<br />
were here to do our church service!<br />
Our thanks this week to Ruth<br />

THERE WERE SOME FIERCE COMPETITORS ... in the hula hoop competition at this year’s Elementary Track and Field Day at North<br />
Iowa, held Tuesday, May 17. Naddie Myer, left, and Willow Huitt, right, both lasted for one hour before the judges deemed they had proven<br />
themselves and asked them to let the hoops fall. Naddie broke the record she set a year ago at the event, which was 54 minutes.<br />

Reminding Drivers to Buckle Up<br />
Law enforcement agencies in<br />
Iowa are joining officers and highway<br />
safety advocates across the<br />
country again this year for the 2011<br />
National Click It or Ticket safety<br />
belt enforcement mobilization,<br />
which began Monday and runs<br />
through June 5. During the mobilization,<br />
officers will be cracking<br />
down on motorists who fail to wear<br />
their safety belts, both day and<br />
night, as well as all other traffic<br />
infractions.<br />
Because nighttime passenger<br />
vehicle occupants are among those<br />
least likely to buckle up and most<br />
likely to die in crashes when unrestrained,<br />
nighttime enforcement has<br />
become a priority of the Click It or<br />
Ticket mobilization. In Iowa, of<br />
those who died in nighttime crashes<br />
in 2010, nearly two-thirds, or 62%,<br />
were not wearing safety belts at the<br />
time of their fatal crashes,<br />
Additionally, 50% of Iowa’s traffic<br />
fatalities occur during the daytime,<br />
when 88% of the motoring public is<br />
traveling. The remaining 50% occur<br />
at night, when only 12% of<br />
motorists are on the road.<br />
Iowa law enforcement will be<br />
out en masse during the Click It or<br />
Ticket mobilization looking for violators.<br />
If an officer finds you on the<br />
road unbuckled anytime or anywhere,<br />
you can expect to get a $127<br />
ticket, not a warning. No excuses<br />
and no exceptions. High-visibility<br />
enforcement like the Click It or<br />
Ticket mobilization is credited with<br />
increasing Iowa’s belt usage rate<br />
from 75% in 1997 to an observed<br />
daytime usage rate of 93% in 2010.<br />
Belt use saves thousands of lives<br />
each year across America.<br />
According to the Iowa Department<br />
of Transportation’s Life Toll program,<br />
6,458 lives have been saved<br />
wearing seat belts since Iowa’s<br />
safety belt law took effect in July,<br />
1986.<br />
Also, a reminder, May is<br />
Motorcycle Safety Awareness<br />
month, and with the onset of nice<br />
weather, there is an increase in<br />
motorcycles. Please be aware of<br />
their presence during this month<br />
and throughout the year.<br />
Pens for Troops<br />
Huge Success<br />
Students collected 905 pens during<br />
the Pens for Troops campaign<br />
at North Iowa Elementary School<br />
this spring. The 3rd and 4th grade<br />
classes started the project, and all<br />
of the elementary classes got<br />
involved by collecting pens.<br />
The top collectors were the second<br />
graders in Mr. Eichenberger’s<br />
class, with a total of 287 pens. Mrs.<br />
Giesking’s fourth grade class came<br />
in second with 210 pens.<br />

<strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Center</strong> (Iowa) <strong>Tribune</strong> — Wednesday, June 1, 2011 — PAGE 5<br />
RSVP Volunteers Recognized<br />
Rod Hansen, Betty Kloster-<br />
Delgado and Joyce Landheer, all of<br />
<strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, were among over<br />
100 North Central Iowa RSVP volunteers<br />
who were recognized for<br />
their generous donation of time and<br />
talents provided to elementary and<br />
middle school students in the North<br />
Iowa region. Volunteers were honored<br />
with a special luncheon celebration<br />
held May 12, on the NIACC<br />
campus in Mason City.<br />
Dr. Debra Derr, president of<br />
NIACC, welcomed the volunteers<br />
to the celebration which included a<br />
keynote address from Dr. Larry<br />
Hill, presentation of lifetime service<br />
awards and musical entertainment<br />
by Indigo Nights barbershop<br />
quartet.<br />
“We truly appreciate the work of<br />
our RSVP volunteers,” stated Derr.<br />
“We’re here to celebrate these valuable<br />
contributions to our area<br />
schools, and I want to thank each of<br />
you.”<br />
Guest speaker, Dr. Larry Hill,<br />
former teacher and administrator,<br />
also applauded the contributions<br />
given to the future generation of<br />
parents, teachers and leaders for<br />
North Iowa. Noting that the children<br />
in elementary schools today<br />
have never known a time when<br />
there wasn’t a war on terror, Dr.<br />
Hill commended the volunteers for<br />
their time investing in the future of<br />
our country. “As a RSVP volunteer,<br />
you are creating a legacy for the<br />
future,” Dr. Hill said. “Thank you<br />
for your investment – you do make<br />
a difference!”<br />

for more information.<br />
Here’s what The Children’s<br />
Museum of Minnesota had to say<br />
about Ross, “Few performers to<br />
visit the Children’s Museum have<br />
the kind of lasting popularity of<br />
Ross Sutter... his shows are an<br />
astounding array of story and<br />
song.”<br />
Bookadee will be providing balloons<br />
for the little ones so come on<br />
out and have some fun.<br />
Lakota Annual Town Wide<br />
Garage Sales<br />
Saturday, June 4 ~ 8 to 3<br />
Sale locations are marked with balloons and<br />
free maps available at any sale location<br />
Lakota Restaurants will run specials for the day!<br />
Notice<br />
We ask your cooperation in observing the following<br />
requests at<br />
Olena Mound and Graceland<br />
Cemeteries<br />
Flowers should be placed close to the headstone or in urns. Flowers should<br />
not be placed on the actual grave itself.<br />
It would be appreciated if those persons using fresh flowers would keep<br />
them in urns or other suitable containers.<br />
GLASS JARS ARE PROHIBITED<br />
because they are easily broken and can cause injuries to visitors and<br />
employees.<br />
All flowers not in urns and placed near the headstones will be allowed until<br />
Monday, June 13. Containers and flowers must be removed by the June<br />
13 date. If not, the city of <strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Center</strong> and <strong>Buffalo</strong> Township Trustees<br />
will not be responsible for any damage.<br />
Please Obey the Above Policy<br />
BECAUSE of the increasing INJURIES to our caretakers and visitors, and<br />
the increasing amount of DAMAGE to tires and blades of our grass mowing<br />
equipment (caused by the UNSEEN wires left by the green stems of<br />
the artificial flowers lost in the grass) and;<br />
BECAUSE the cleaning up of the broken glass or pieces of plastic decorations,<br />
after being blown about by the wind, is taking an ever INCREAS-<br />
ING proportion of our maintenance time, and;<br />
BECAUSE we want to keep YOUR Cemetery well groomed, to make the<br />
entire Cemetery a fitting LIVING MEMORIAL to those interred therein<br />
and an inspiration to those who visit these sacred grounds . . .<br />

Dear Darv,<br />
It's hard to believe<br />
You've been gone for a year,<br />
Not a day goes by<br />
That I wish you were here.<br />

We had prepared for you to go,<br />
But I hadn't prepared<br />
To miss you so.<br />
The days are getting easier,<br />
The nights are still tough<br />
My love for you keeps me going<br />
It has to be enough.<br />
Thanks for all the memories<br />
It helps me through each day,<br />
Also knowing our love for Him<br />
Will bring us together someday.<br />

<strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Center</strong> (Iowa) <strong>Tribune</strong> — Wednesday, June 1, 2011 — PAGE 10<br />
Middle Musings from NIMS Out Now<br />
The 11th annual writing contest<br />
at North Iowa Middle School concluded<br />
Tuesday, May 17, with an<br />
awards ceremony at the school<br />
auditorium. The writing contest<br />
began in January in the classes of<br />
Mrs. Joan Bidne.<br />
The contest and publication of<br />
Middle Musings is sponsored by the<br />
Literary Circle of <strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Center</strong>.<br />
All students were required to<br />
write an entry in poetry, short story,<br />
or true experience. The students had<br />
a month to complete their entries.<br />
In February, their teacher collected<br />
their work and turned it over<br />
to the Literary Circle, who arranged<br />
for community members to judge<br />
the works, which were identified<br />
only by numbers to avoid any<br />
favoritism.<br />
After the works were judged,<br />
they were put into the magazine<br />
called Middle Musings. This year is<br />
the 11th year of its publication.<br />
The winning students each<br />
received a magazine and a certificate.<br />
All others received participation<br />
certificates. The booklets can<br />
be found in all the local and public<br />
school libraries.<br />
EIGHTH GRADE WINNERS... in the middle school writing contest this year are, front from left: Aaron<br />
Embrock, Megan Moklestad and Ashley Huntington. Back row: Jami Goetz, Ty Schuler, Shelby Berte,<br />
Madi Blodgett and Aleah Brown.<br />
SIXTH GRADE WINNERS ... of the North Iowa Middle School writing contest are, from left: Sidney<br />
Walton, Cassidy Sachs, Rachel Hassebroek and Natalie Dirksen.<br />
Hwy 9, no injuries were reported.<br />
Fire:<br />
On 5-19-11 there was a report of<br />
smoke in a home in Rake, false alarm.<br />
Note: Pursuant to Iowa Rule of<br />
Professional Conduct 32:3.6(e), the preceding<br />
information is provided along with the<br />
statement that a criminal charge is merely an<br />
accusation and the defendant is presumed<br />
innocent until and unless proven guilty.<br />
Noxious Weed &<br />
Brush Control in<br />
Winnebago County<br />
The Winnebago County<br />
Conservation Board ROW<br />
Vegetation Management staff will<br />
soon begin noxious weed and brush<br />
spraying in the right-of-way adjacent<br />
to county roads as outlined in<br />
Winnebago County's Noxious<br />
Weed and Brush Control policies.<br />
Spot herbicide applications to<br />
species identified on the State of<br />
Iowa's noxious weed list will begin<br />
in early June and persist through<br />
the summer as sites of infestation<br />
are identified.<br />
Foliar herbicide applications to<br />
small trees and brush within the<br />
right-of-way will begin in late July<br />
and continue through early fall.<br />
Please use caution when approaching<br />
slow moving spray trucks. Any<br />
questions or concerns regarding<br />
roadside spraying of noxious weeds<br />
SEVENTH GRADE WINNERS ... being published in Middle<br />
Musings this year are, from left: Cassandra Burke, Tess Ree and<br />
