Annual Report 2011<br />
Helping people reach for their own <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> since 1975!
NORTH STAR <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Services</strong>: Year in Review from Executive Director<br />
Dear Friends <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Services</strong>,<br />
I am very pleased to bring you our annual report for fiscal year 2011. Once<br />
again, our services have helped the people we serve realize potential, pursue dreams,<br />
and enjoy life. I am so very proud <strong>of</strong> the dedicated, compassionate, and highly<br />
knowledgeable staff members that provide essential services to hundreds <strong>of</strong> people<br />
throughout <strong>North</strong>east Iowa every day.<br />
Mark Witmer<br />
Executive Director<br />
Some highlights <strong>of</strong> our services this year include performing arts productions in Waterloo and<br />
Waverly. Our day habilitation services program in Waterloo known as Key VII produced the musical Willie<br />
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory to a large audience at the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center.<br />
This play was truly the highlight <strong>of</strong> the year for many <strong>of</strong> the people we serve and our staff members.<br />
Our Waverly Center day habilitation program produced a Christmas musical adapted from<br />
the famous Charles Dickens story A Christmas Carol. The popularity <strong>of</strong> the Waverly Center Christmas<br />
productions necessitated that we move to a larger venue. We were so very pleased to have St. Mary’s<br />
Catholic Church host our Christmas program this year to an audience <strong>of</strong> over 200 people.<br />
These performances give the people we serve opportunities<br />
that many have never experienced before. And, <strong>of</strong>ten we discover<br />
talents that have been hidden for a lifetime. Some participants find new<br />
ways <strong>of</strong> expressing themselves; others simply come out <strong>of</strong> their shells.<br />
Everyone enjoys participating and everyone is given lots <strong>of</strong> kudos for their<br />
performances.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the participants who rarely talks has no problem acting in the<br />
play, saying his lines, and even singing, as part <strong>of</strong> his performance. Another<br />
actor showed <strong>of</strong>f his dancing skills while another sang so beautifully that<br />
everyone (fellow actors as well as the audience) was amazed. Yet another<br />
participant used his sign language skills to give people with hearing<br />
difficulties an opportunity to follow the action throughout the production.<br />
These performance opportunities are only <strong>of</strong> a couple <strong>of</strong> activities<br />
that I chose to highlight in this letter. However, as you read our annual<br />
report, you will discover that people benefit from <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> services in<br />
many, many ways every day.<br />
On behalf <strong>of</strong> the board <strong>of</strong> directors, I thank you for your continued<br />
interest and support <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Services</strong> over this past year.<br />
We are looking forward to many more years <strong>of</strong> providing services that<br />
empower each person to realize potential, pursue dreams, and enjoy life.<br />
Thanks again for all you do in support <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong>.<br />

Mission: “To empower each person to realize potential, pursue dreams, and enjoy life.”
NORTH STAR <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Services</strong>: Highlights<br />
At <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> we try to help our consumers to develop “natural supports and community<br />
relationships.” But, what is natural support? A natural support is a relationship with someone that an<br />
individual chooses to have in their life - someone who is not paid, who doesn’t also have a disability, and<br />
is based on common interests (ie: a “typical” community member). Natural supports give us all a sense <strong>of</strong><br />
belonging since we know that others just want to be with us because they like us. These are two stories<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> consumers who have successfully developed natural supports.<br />
Meet Neal Norland who grew up near Cylinder, Iowa (60 miles west <strong>of</strong> Clear<br />
Lake). Neal, who has cerebral palsy, began receiving <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> services in August <strong>of</strong><br />
2010, when he came to Cedar Falls to attend UNI.<br />
Neal is now a sophomore and is taking general education classes while he<br />
tries to choose a major, but he is interested in the ministry and is good at statistics<br />
and web-site building. He lives in the dorms and uses <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> services to help him<br />
with daily living tasks that he is physically unable to do for himself. <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> staff<br />
has helped him develop natural supports on campus, particularly within the dining services. This<br />
allows him to eat whenever he wants to, not only when there is staff available.<br />
It was difficult for him to leave home by himself for the first time, but Neal has been up to<br />
the challenge, overcoming many obstacles in his way (including a broken down wheelchair and two<br />
illnesses). He studies hard, gets very good grades, and has been successful. These are a few <strong>of</strong> his<br />
successes: Joining campus groups, attending all kinds <strong>of</strong> Panther sporting events, using the Wellness<br />
Center on campus, and making new friends that he enjoys hanging out with. According to <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Service Coordinator, Jenny Allen, “Neal is a great guy and has accomplished some amazing things!”<br />
Meet Jill Meyer, who is 29-years old, lives in Shell Rock, IA and has been receiving services from<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> in Waverly for more than ten years, and her friend Anastasia Lundt. Anastasia, who grew up in<br />
Pocahontas, Iowa, is currently a Wartburg College senior majoring in biochemistry. She met Jill through<br />
the Best Buddies program her freshman year. Best Buddies is an organization that pairs people with<br />
intellectual disabilities with college students. Through these friendships the “buddies” are encouraged to<br />
be self-advocates and community leaders, all the while making lifelong friendships.<br />
Jill and Anastasia try to get together at least twice a month. They like to<br />
go out to eat, and they both name Texas Roadhouse as their favorite. Jill says<br />
that Anastasia “likes to watch her bowl.” When they get together, they also<br />
enjoy watching movies, baking cookies, or simply lounging around watching<br />
T.V.<br />
When asked what Anastasia likes best about Jill, she said, “her smile and<br />
sense <strong>of</strong> humor.” She wrote that being friends with Jill has taught her that, “the simple things in life are<br />
the most important. Laughter is always the best medicine, but it never hurts to supplement with good<br />
food!” When asked about Anastasia, Jill said, “Been friends a long time! She’s nice, she’s fun, she’s smart.”<br />
Melissa Hovenga, <strong>Community</strong> Living Specialist at <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong>, describes the relationship. “Anastasia<br />
brightens Jill’s day every time she calls, and when they do something together. I’m sure this friendship<br />
will continue for life!”

10. Therapeutic Garden: Although it is ever-changing and will always be a work in<br />
progress, the major work on the garden is complete. Through a grant from Green<br />
Scene, we were able to plant several additional trees; including apple, pear, and<br />
cherry trees. Our consumers planted an abundance <strong>of</strong> donated hosta and several<br />
people added wonderful garden sculptures to the space.<br />
9. <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> participants give back. Although we are the beneficiaries <strong>of</strong> the time<br />
and talents <strong>of</strong> numerous volunteers, <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> turns the table and gives back to the<br />
community almost every week. In Waterloo our consumers helped out at places like<br />
Friendship Village, NE Iowa Food Bank, the Humane Society, greeted RAGBRAI riders,<br />
and rang bells for the Salvation Army. We collected school supplies for area children<br />
for both fall and spring semesters and sent care packages to soldiers in Afghanistan.<br />
In Waverly many people were the recipients <strong>of</strong> monthly “give backs” - including<br />
homemade treats, crafts, and flowers.<br />
8. Jeff Schott, custodian at <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> for more than 13 years, was given the Bill<br />
Sackter Self-Advocate award from the State <strong>of</strong> Iowa Arc. The award is named for Bill<br />
Sackter who was fundamental in the nation’s “self-advocacy movement” <strong>of</strong> the early<br />
1960’s. In a congratulatory letter, Senator Tom Harkin wrote, “Jeff, you are being<br />
honored with the Self-Advocate <strong>of</strong> the Year award because you are a shining example<br />
<strong>of</strong> the unyielding dedication, boundless persistence, and confident determination it<br />
takes to reach your goals.”<br />
7. George lobby’s for the change he wants to see in the world. George, who resides<br />
in Cedar Falls, earned a Master’s degree in public policy in 2008 and has received<br />
supported community living services for 11 years. He is instrumental in the Cedar<br />
Valley Arc’s self-advocacy activities. He helped to organized two trips to Des Moines<br />
to lobby lawmakers against cuts in Medicaid and to maintain the system <strong>of</strong> residential<br />
care facility/nursing home inspections. On the local level, in March he was one <strong>of</strong><br />
several who met with the Waterloo City Council to discuss safety concerns over snow<br />
removal at city bus stops.<br />
6. Neal, who is currently a college student at the University <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong>ern Iowa, has<br />
made remarkable strides towards being able to live independently.<br />
(Complete story on previous page.)<br />
5. Lavina, who lives in Marshalltown, turned 87 in June. She lived for 20 years at<br />
what was then known as Woodward State Hospital, and then in family life homes.<br />
But, one <strong>of</strong> Lavina’s dreams was to live in a home <strong>of</strong> her own, so with <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong>’s help<br />
she did just that - at age 80! She is happy in her apartment and enjoys living with her<br />
49-pound cat, Wayne.<br />
4. Brian from Mason City, who came to <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> in December 2008, had been<br />
struggling with issues related to a chronic mental illness - including multiple<br />
hospitalizations. With <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong>’s help he has been able to manage his symptoms<br />
and has not been in the hospital for nearly three years. Because <strong>of</strong> his<br />
progress, our services have been reduced to only ten hours per month!
NORTH STAR <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Services</strong>: Highlights<br />
3. Donna from Mason City has been receiving services for more than five years. She has been able to move<br />
from a residential care facility to her own apartment. Donna has made great strides for herself. She is now<br />
able to manage her spending, effectively problem-solve, and has learned to manage anxiety and stress without<br />
going to the hospital. Donna can now manage on only ten hours <strong>of</strong> services per month!<br />
2. Waverly has Christmas Spirit. 200 friends, family, and community members were in attendance as<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong>’s Waverly Center held its fifth annual Christmas program, an adaptation <strong>of</strong> “A Christmas Carol,” on<br />
December 7, 2010. The program has become so well-attended, that it necessitated moving the performance<br />
to a much larger venue - St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Waverly. The program featured performances, singing,<br />
and music by <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> participants. Not only did they perform the story, they sang several holiday songs<br />
and the Waverly <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> Bell Choir performed.<br />
ANd... the NuMber oNe success At <strong>North</strong> stAr this yeAr wAs:<br />
1. Willy Wonka: A world <strong>of</strong> pure imagination. On May 11, 2011 at the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts<br />
Center in Cedar Falls, more than 1,800 lucky audience members were treated to a wonderful muscial theatre<br />
performance directed by volunteer, Greg Holt. Sixty-four <strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> actors, along with seven community<br />
volunteer actors, brought the world <strong>of</strong> Willy Wonka to life. The audience laughed, sang along to old favorite<br />
songs like “The Candy Man” and “The Oompa Loompa Song.” At the end there was a standing ovation! The<br />
project was a culmination <strong>of</strong> many months <strong>of</strong> hard work and included sets, props, and costumes created by<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Star</strong> staff, participants, and volunteers.<br />

In collaboration between Newel Post and UNI Sculpture I students, led by Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Erica<br />
Voss, 15 individuals who attend Newel Post Adult Day <strong>Services</strong> got to see their ideas represented in a 3-D<br />
sculpture. These art pieces were showcased in the lobby <strong>of</strong> the Gallagher<br />
Bluedorn Performing Arts Center on May 11 th , during the Willy Wonka play.<br />
The UNI students were commissioned to interpret a Newel Post<br />
participant’s drawing as a sculpture. The drawings were created during oneon-one<br />
interviews between the students and the participants in response to<br />
such questions as; “What makes you happiest?” or “What do you think is<br />
funny or makes you laugh?” The sculpture was then created by the student<br />
using materials that they created together by making felt from wool in<br />
colors selected by the Newel Post participant.<br />
