Chasing the Sun marks 10 years 

The family of Branden Brock rode with pride during the 10th 

Annual Chasing the Sun Memorial Run held this past Saturday, 

September 8. From left are Branden’s cousin Shane Brock and 

Branden’s dad, John Brock, alongside John’s motorcycle, which 

dons a windshield memorial tribute to Branden. A scholarship 

was presented to Allen Lee Hauge, Jr., second-cousin to 

Branden, at Dino’s Place on 

Saturday, following the run. “It 

was a scholarship to a friend 

or family member of one of our 

fallen friends that we lost too 

early in life,” explained Shane. 

Doug and Sally Price were 

among many who rode in 

honor of a loved one during 

the Chasing the Sun Memorial 

Run. Doug is the brother of 

Dean Price, who is one of the 

three young men whose memory 

is honored by the annual 

event. 

Doug and Sally Price were 

pleased Saturday, September 1 as a 

record crowd turned up for the grand 

opening of Dino’s Place. The event 

kicked off at 5 p.m. with a hog roast, 

deejay, karaoke, and street dance. 

Designers needed for Quasquicentennial logo 

Planning is underway for 

Buffalo Center’s 125th anniversary 

celebration, and one of the first 

tasks of the Quasquicentennial 

Committee is to select a logo for 

the occasion. The Committee is 

holding a logo contest and is asking 

members of the public to 

design and submit their own logos. 

The Committee will select one 

winning logo, which will be used 

on all souvenirs, correspondence, 

posters and t-shirts. This logo is an 

important one, as it will be seen on 

lots of items for many years to

Harvest off to an early start 

With a warm spring and a hot, dry summer, many area corn fields are ready for an early harvest. 

Tom Holland and Jim Badje, along with numerous family members, set out for their first day of 

harvest on Saturday, September 1, at the Holland farm northwest of Buffalo Center. Badje, left, 

who rents the land from Holland, is accompanied on the combine by Holland’s granddaughters 

Emma De Jong and Willow Oleson. Holland says the corn is ready about three or four weeks 

ahead of schedule, due to the high number of heat units this summer, while planting was done 

about two weeks early this spring. “It’s better than we expected, as dry as it was,” said Holland of 

the yield so far. “It’s not a record crop, but it’s not a failure 

come. All entries should be 

dropped off at Bison Graphics in 

Buffalo Center, with a deadline of 

Friday, November 30. 

The Buffalo Center 

Quasquicentennial celebration is 

planned for Saturday and Sunday, 

July 1 and 2, 2017. 

The committee is also seeking 

someone who would be willing to 

create a web page and keep it current. 

Anyone willing to donate 

their talent in that regard is asked 

to contact Mayor Troy Armstrong 

or City Hall.

The kids and grandkids were on hand to help out with the first 

day of harvest Saturday, September 1 at the Tom and Gloria 

Holland farm, which is farmed by Jim Badje. At top is Sarah De

PAGE 2 — Buffalo Center (Iowa) Tribune — Wednesday, September 12, 2012 OPINION 

Way back when 

Friday, September 7 

Greetings from the Iowa Senate, 

With Labor Day over and the 

first day of fall fast-approaching, 

North Iowans have opportunities to 

converse on issues we probably 

haven’t talked about for a while. 

With cooler temperatures this week 

and a few combines crawling across 

fields, words like “football,” “fall 

musical,” “empty nest,” and “putting 

the boat away” come to mind. 

One of the great things about living 

in Iowa is our four distinct seasons. 

As a farmer and state legislator, I 

always look forward to those special 

fall opportunities to eat at a local 

church soup supper, share field data 

with other farmers at the local coffee 

shop, and visit about the latest 

school activities and issues. 

The New Hampton Community 

School Superintendent’s meeting the 

evening of September 6 was such an 

opportunity to get engaged in a conversation 

about where education 

needs to be headed in the state. Hats 

should go off to New Hampton’s 

new Superintendent, Jay Jurrens, for 

organizing this meeting as a way to 

collect ideas, feedback, and constructive 

criticism about how our 

children are doing in school, how we 

can educate in an ever more complex 

and connected world, and for 

what jobs and career opportunities 

we should be educating our students. 

I counted over 50 people in attendance, 

which I considered great. It’s

Winnebago and Worth Counties

good to know that in Iowa’s rural 

schools, people care. 

Although the subject matter varied, 

ranging from facilities updates 

and technology enhancement, to the 

issue that I’ve heard the most about 

lately when door knocking – the 

school lunch menu – the meeting ran 

smoothly and was very informative. 

New Hampton, in many respects, 

has the same major problem most of 

Iowa’s rural schools face: declining 

enrollment and how to deal with the 

state per pupil cap of about $6,000. 

I’ve suggested that, particularly in 

rural districts, we in the Iowa 

Legislature should look specifically 

at a transportation formula, above 

and beyond the allowable growth 

formula. Why? Because rural districts 

are at an inherent disadvantage 

when it comes to getting the kids to 

school, and those are big budget 

items for districts like Riceville and 

Howard Winneshiek, West Fork and 

Northwood Kensett, as well as others. 

If this issue was addressed, I personally 

believe it would relieve 

some of the financial pressure that 

rural school districts are experiencing 

due to declining enrollment. If 

we addressed the issue sooner than 

later, we could spend more time at 

the local church soup supper talking 

about the good things our schools 

are doing for our children and communities. 

Until next time… 

Your Money, Your Future program 

Achieving financial goals is not just a matter of money. “It’s about an 

internal desire to improve one’s finances,” says Brenda Schmitt, ISU 

Extension Family Finance Specialist. People who think positively generally 

experience greater success, and education is an important first step. There is 

a connection between what a person does today and what will happen in the 

future. 

Iowa State University Extension in Algona will present Your Money, 

Your Future on October 9 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. There will be a meal sponsored 

by Iowa State Bank. This three-hour program will focus on how to: 

• Develop spending plans and SMART goals 

• Access credit history without having to pay a fee 

• Select the financial institution that best meets your needs 

• Understand how credit cards work and how to avoid the credit card trap

Final Steak Night

309 5th Ave SW, Buffalo Center 

by Dr. Roark Horn, AEA 267 

Chief Administrator 

This is perhaps my favorite time 

of year, as students everywhere 

return to local schools, and the 

excitement and energy in our communities 

shifts back to education 

and learning. What you might not 

realize is that Area Education 

Agency 267 (AEA 267), as part of 

Iowa’s Area Education Agency system, 

is an active partner in your 

local school district’s efforts. Often, 

AEA 267 staff members are working 

behind-the-scenes to provide leadership 

and support to local educators 

in ways in which the public is 

unaware. Here are five services you 

may not realize that AEAs provide: 

Each student is unique, and many 

have individual needs that require 

special support and intervention. 

AEA 267 offers critical special education 

support services to help. Our 

agency employs specialists in speech 

development, occupational therapy, 

physical therapy, hearing, and 

vision. Since most school districts 

could not afford to employ these 

specialists on their own, having 

these services available to local 

schools is critical. AEA 267 provides 

screening services for students 

in kindergarten through second 

grade. We also screen again for 

some services in eighth grade to 

ensure that all students who need 

these support services are receiving 

them. 

Our agency provides courses and 

workshops in effective teaching 

approaches, measuring student 

learning, technology and much more 

as part of a full menu of professional 

development activities for which 

classroom teachers and school 

administrators can receive graduate 

level credit. When you think about 

where teachers go to learn, think of 

us! 

AEA 267 provides consultation, 

research, and information services to 

meet the learning needs of all students 

and to support local district 

library media programs. We provide 

a wide variety of instructional 

resources, which align with school 

district needs and support effective 

teaching. The AEA 267 lending 

libraries provide PreK-12 and professional 

materials, which include 

professional books, student books, 

books with audio support, DVDs, 

journals, media kits and many other

forms of technology devices. If you 

are a parent, there is a good chance 

that your child is using some of the 

materials from our lending library in 

his/her classroom at many points 

during the school year. 

Iowa AEA Online is a virtual 

library that provides no-cost access 

to a variety of high-quality, web– 

based resources for accredited public 

and non-public PreK-12 schools. 

Students and staff have access both 

at school and at home, which allows 

for safe searching of the Internet. 

The web address is www.iowaaeaonline.org 

(Parents, please bookmark 

this address on your home 

computer and ask for login and password 

information from your local 

school library media specialist.) 

The job of a school administrator 

today is a complex and challenging 

one that requires support. AEA 267 

partners with groups like School 

Administrators of Iowa (SAI) to 

provide critical learning opportunities 

and support for local school 

administrators. The agency also 

employs specialists in areas such as 

human resources, finances and communication 

who administrators can 

turn to for specialized expertise. 

As the school year progresses 

and you think about the efforts of 

your local school district, please 

remember the important role Iowa’s 

AEAs play. For more information 

about AEA 267, please visit our 

website at www.aea267.k12.ia.us 

and for more information about the 

statewide AEA system, please visit

“What’s the Good Word?” will 

be the discussion topic for the first 

meeting this year of the Ladies 

Literary Circle. The meeting will be 

held on Tuesday, Sept. 18, in the 

home of Betty Coxson, 217 4th St. 

NW beginning at 2 p.m. Members 

and guests are cordially invited. 

A brief planning meeting will 

also be conducted by Chairman

The discussion will focus on

Writing of various kinds can also be 

thought of as word gifts giving plea- 

The annual Lakota Library Salad 

Luncheon is fast approaching, with 

this year’s event set for Sunday, 

Sept. 23. The Luncheon will be held 

that day from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. at 

the Lakota Eagle Center. 

The theme for this year is, “Our 

Library’s Harvest Baskets”. The 

Lakota Library provides many services 

to its patrons. The library has 

books, magazines and newspapers 

for reading. There are DVDs, videos, 

puzzles, games and CDs to be 

enjoyed, and new computers are 

available for everyone’s use. Some 

of the services available include 

photocopying, fax services, WI-FI, 

Inter-library loan, and the use of an 

outstanding Research Center with 

the library’s website and online cata- 

The Ennen Family Reunion was 

held on Sunday, August 12, at Lions 

Shelter House in Buffalo Center. 

Thirty-six people were in attendance. 

This year’s theme was, “A Salute 

to the Olympics”. Olympic games 

for young and old were played in the 

afternoon, following a potluck picnic 

lunch. Delores Benning shared 

some family history dating back to 

the 1800s. 

The following people attended: 

Mark and Jeanette Ennen, Buffalo 

Center; Gary, Kathy and Garrison 

Dierks, Mankato, MN; Gavin, Ava 

and Brock Rodning, Fairmont, MN; 

sure to others as well as to the writer. 

Jody Smith, depending on harvest 

needs, may be on hand to share 

some of the weekly letters containing 

wit and wisdom from late member 

Ruth Smith. Ruth kept the weekly 

dispatches going out to her children 

for many years. Her letters 

caught the attention of the Des 

Moines Register, who published a 

long article about her and her writings. 

It is hoped that members will 

think of new ways to preserve a little 

of family or personal history.

News from 

This was Labor Day week, so we 

had that day to rest and relax and do 

our own thing. We did enjoy the 

extra visitors that were out and 

about, too. 

Tuesday, we got back into the 

swing of things. George and Vera 

were here in the morning to play for 

us. It’s always fun to guess what 

song they are playing. We sing along 

to some of the, too. 

Bethlehem Lutheran had the 

afternoon program on Tuesday, 

which was fun and interesting. It 

took us back a few years; remembering 

the way we washed clothes and 

hung them on the line. Lunch was 

cookies and bars. 

The Residents Council met on 

Wednesday to decide what special 

things we wanted that would be fun. 

We also planned a special supper for 

October. 

Thursday morning, we had a 

sing-a-long with Theresa Thorland. 

A group of people from Bethany 

Lutheran got together and bought 

new hymn books (40 of them) for

for playing for us. 

Our games this week were hockey,

We also had exercise, reading, Bible

We are so pleased to have him here

Arla M. Ites 

Arla M. Ites, 80, of Buffalo 

Center died Wednesday, September 

5 in her home after suffering a sudden 

heart attack. Funeral services 

were held Sunday, September 9 at 

the First Reformed Church, Buffalo 

Center. 

Arla Mildred Johnson was a 

Christmas baby born to Jake and 

Ruth Johnson on December 23, 

1931 in Buffalo Center. She was the 

youngest of three children with sister, 

Dorothy, and brother, Don. She 

attended Grant #4 Country School 

south of town and later graduated 

from Buffalo Center High School 

with the class of 1949. Arla became 

a member of First Reformed Church 

in Buffalo Center in 1947. After 

high school, Arla took her first job 

at the soil conservation office in 

Thompson, where she worked for 

nine years. 

On June 30, 1959, Arla Johnson 

married Marvin Ites at the First 

Reformed Church in Buffalo Center. 

They lived briefly in town before

moving to a farm southeast of Buffalo Center, where they raised the typical 

Iowa produce of hogs, cows, chickens and crops. Arla enjoyed her role as 

farm wife and then mother to Duane (1961) and Karen (1964). Marvin and 

Arla enjoyed several years with friends and family. Her children have fond 

memories of the men’s quartet. (Marvin sang and Arla accompanied). They 

rehearsed in their living room. Arla sang many duets with Marvin, as well 

as singing in the church choir. Duane and Karen remember card club 

friends and the playfulness of their parents in their joyful Christian home. 

In 1972, Marvin passed away suddenly at age 50 while working on the 

farm. Life changed drastically as the kids’ grandma, Ruth Johnson, moved 

in to help and keep house for the family. Arla had told her brother “as long 

as grandma and the kids get along, we want grandma to stay with us.” She 

remained with their family from that day until her death at the age of 93 in 

1999. 

In 1979, Arla became a “working mother” and took a job as a typesetter 

with the Buffalo Center Tribune. She remained at the local paper through the 

addition of technology and could proof read like no other. She retired from 

the paper staff in 2002 and enjoyed retirement at home. She loved spending 

time with her children and grandchildren, coffee with her brother, Don, and 

especially celebrating all holidays with sit down dinners, arguments about 

what programs to watch on her one TV, games of Lincoln Logs and Checkers 

and batches of wonderful varieties of homemade fudge. 

Arla and her family were recently all together for Labor Day weekend in 

Spirit Lake. 

She is preceded in death by her parents Jake and Ruth (Balvance) 

Johnson, her husband, Marvin, her sister Dorothy (Johnson) Bader, brotherin-law 

Bob Bader and niece Diana Bader. 

Left cherishing her love, legacy and fond memories are her son, Duane 

(Sally) Ites of Spirit Lake; and her daughter, Karen (Duane) Carstens of 

Hampton. Her grandchildren, Andrew and Carly Ites, and Chris and 

Stephanie Carstens. Brother, Don (Crystal) Johnson, niece Sheryl Johnson, 

nephew Eldon Johnson, aunt Edna Balvance and several cousins.

Shari Kirkpatrick’s father made it 

home from Vietnam, but many others 

from Iowa did not. She has now 

made it her mission to collect a 

photo of each of the Iowans named 

on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial 

on the National Mall. 

For Kirkpatrick, the project started 

this past June when The Wall 

That Heals (TWTH) stopped in 

Washington, IA, and she went to see 

it with one of her sons and her parents. 

Her father, Thomas R. 

Brickman, served with the 

Headquarters and Headquarters 

Company, 196th Light Infantry 

Brigade and was in Vietnam from 

1967-68. Brickman had been drafted 

into the Army from Bremer County, 

IA. 

“My dad has talked a little bit 

about Vietnam over the years and we 

have visited The Wall That Heals 

before, but it was just different this 

time,” Kirkpatrick said. 

Her father and other veterans 

swapped stories at the site and, as 

the family was leaving, Bob Dobeck 

approached them. Dobeck and his 

wife, Brenda, are site managers for 

TWTH, and Bob asked Brickman if 

he had found the names he was looking 

for on The Wall. Brickman told 

Dobeck that he hadn’t because he 

couldn’t remember some of the 

information, so Dobeck helped them 

use the computer database to look 

up the names. 

As they were searching for the 

names and chatting, Dobeck mentioned 

the Call For Photos initiative 

to collect photos of each of the 

58,282 names etched on The Wall in 

Washington, D.C. Dobeck also has 

Iowa ties and said he wanted to 

make sure all of the names from 

Iowa would have a photo in the 

Education Center at The Wall being 

built across the street. 

Kirkpatrick decided to get 

involved and help collect the photos 

from Iowa. She and her parents 

launched a campaign to collect the 

photos and have been reaching out 

statewide to accomplish their goal. 

To date, VVMF has collected 356 

photos of the 853 Iowans on The 

Wall. Recently, an airman from Iowa 

was buried at Arlington National 

Cemetery, just a few miles from The 

Wall. Dennis Eilers had been missing 

since his plane went down over 

Laos in 1965. Eilers’ photo is one of 

those from Iowa that has been submitted 

and will be displayed in the 

Education Center.

Agriculture, the Rural Economic 

and Community Development 

division of USDA and various 

other governmental agencies. 

The committee strives to enhance 

communication and education 

among all these factions. Support

4-H and FFA is also among the 

committee’s activities, as well as 

providing input to the association’s 

agriculture policy.

TSB Bank. Bertram has 18 years 

of lending experience, specializing 

in agricultural lending. She grew

The USDA is taking more 

actions to assist farmers 

impacted by the 2012 drought. 

Changes include extending 

the emergency grazing of 

Conservation Reserve Program 

(CRP) acreage deadline and 

emergency loans. 

John R. Whitaker, State 

Executive Director for 

USDA’s Farm Service Agency, 

announced an extension to the 

emergency grazing deadline 

of CRP acreage, which will be 

allowed on limited practices. 

The deadline is now November 

30. Producers interested in 

emergency grazing must 

remove livestock no later than 

November 30. Emergency 

haying on CRP acres was not 

extended past August 31. 

“The severity and ongoing 

drought conditions, has created 

the need for changes to Risk 

Management Agency (RMA) 

provisions. RMA will allow 

producers to hay or graze cover 

crops without forfeiting crop 

insurance eligibility on planted 

2013 spring crops. This change 

is beneficial to livestock 

producers; making forage 

and feed available this fall 

and winter. Producers should 

contact their crop insurance 

agent for more information,” 

said Whitaker. 

Due to natural disasters 

throughout Iowa, producers 

Made possible with funding from the Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention.

THANK YOU FOR 

YOUR BUSINESS 

who have suffered major 

production and/or physical 

losses may be eligible for 

low interest emergency loans. 

Modifications will be made to 

the emergency loan program 

allowing loans for losses to 

feed and pasture to be made 

earlier in the season. Producers 

will no longer have to wait 

until the end of the production 

cycle to obtain a loan. This 

change will support producers 

who currently need assistance 

to help offset high production 

costs. In addition to Emergency 

Loans, FSA has a variety of 

other loan programs available 

to assist producers in returning 

to normal farming operations. 

“Adding more flexibility to 

current program requirements 

will make much needed 

assistance more readily 

available to producers affected 

by disaster,” said Whitaker. 

“Many of these changes will 

benefit livestock producers who 

are facing higher feed costs or 

are at risk of liquidating their 

herd due to the drought.” 

Contact your crop insurance 

agent for more information 

regarding special provisions to 

RMA insurance provisions. For 

more information on CRP or 

the emergency loan program,

Cost sharing assistance 

for cover crops 

Practical Farmers of Iowa 

encourages farmers to sign up for 

cover crop funds newly authorized 

by the Iowa Department of 

Agriculture and Land Stewardship 

as an eligible practice under Iowa’s 

cost share program. 

The emergency rule change, 

announced recently by Iowa 

SecretaryofAgricultureBillNorthey, 

allows cost sharing assistance of $25 

per acre for planting a cover crop. 

Farmers interested in accessing these 

funds should visit their local county 

Natural Resources Conservation 

Service office. 

With unused nitrogen left in 

soils from this summer’s drought, 

cover crops can help capture that 

leftover fertility and store it until 

spring. Cover crops also help control 

erosion, protect water quality and 

boost soil’s water-holding capacity. 

There’s a catch, however: To be 

beneficial, cover crops must be 

planted soon, before expected 

autumn rains wash nitrogen away. 

Eric Franzenburg of Pheasant 

Run Farm raises alternative crops, 

conventional corn and soybeans 

and farrow-to-finish hogs near Van 

Horne. For the past four years, he has 

planted a fall cover crop on one of 

his conventional row crop fields and 

says he has routinely observed higher 

yields in that field. In addition, he 

says that this year, in particular, the 

cover crop field showed noticeably 

less drought stress. 

“We’re using a combination of 

the cover crop – winter rye – with 

Gov. Terry E. Branstad signed 

a proclamation last week to allow 

the transportation of oversized and 

overweight loads of soybeans, corn, 

hay, straw, silage and stover. The 

proclamation took effect on Sept. 4 

and expires after 60 days. 

“Many Iowans’ livelihoods 

depend on a smooth, efficient 

harvest season,” said Branstad. “I 

am pleased to sign this proclamation, 

which will allow the movement of 

Iowa’s commodities and help Iowa 

farmers during harvest.” 

This proclamation applies to 

loads transported on all highways 

within Iowa, excluding the interstate 

system, and which do not exceed a 

maximum of 90,000 pounds gross 

weight, do not exceed the maximum 

axle weight limit determined under 

The North Iowa Scholarship 

fund has steadily grown since 1996 

and currently sustains a balance of 

more than $40,000 and generates 

scholarships annually of $5,000- 

7,000. The scholarship fund has 

received the following contributions 

since June 2012.

swine manure. It appears that the 

cover crop is able to hold those 

nutrients in the root zone for the corn 

crop the following year – which is 

one of the reasons we plant cover 

crops,” Franzenburg says. 

“We haven’t harvested anything 

yet, but the field we put the cover 

crop on has borne the dry conditions 

pretty well,” he adds. “The crop is 

in pretty good health – and when 

we did a yield estimate, it looks like 

the field that had the cover crop will 

yield much higher than our other 

fields.” 

Franzenburg says farmers 

thinking about signing up for the 

cover crop cost share funds can’t 

go wrong in planting a cover crop – 

and the $25 per acre assistance will 

defray most expenses. 

“That amount more than covers 

your seed and planting cost,” 

Franzeburg says. “You might have 

a little extra cost that you’ll have to 

pay, but $25 per acre would cover 

most of your costs.” 

While IDALS has authorized the 

rule change, each individual Soil and 

Water Conservation District has the 

final say whether it will offer cost 

share assistance for cover crops. 

And, in order to quality for cost 

share, the practice must meet NRCS 

specifications. 

For more information about cover 

crops or the state program, contact 

Sarah Carlson, Practical Farmers of 

Iowa research and policy director, 

at the Cover Crop Hotline, 515- 

232-5661, or by email at sarah@

by more than twelve and one-half 

percent (12.5%), do not exceed the

Second-ranked Mustangs hand 

Bison loss in District opener 

The Bison suffered their first 

defeat of the season as they opened 

District play against second-ranked 

Newell-Fonda on Friday, Sept. 7 in 


Newell-Fonda got off to a fast 

start in the first quarter, with two 

touchdown runs by Jonathan 

Johnson, who totaled 305 rushing 

yards in the game. The Mustangs 

missed their first point after attempt 

but scored on a two-point conversion 

after their second touchdown 

for a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. 

The Mustangs jumped further 

ahead in the second quarter, with 

two more touchdown runs for a 26-0 

lead before the Bison finally made 

their way onto the board. Frank 

Campos pushed the ball into the end 

zone, and a PAT kick by Troy 

Kettwick reduced the Bison’s deficit 

to 26-7 at halftime. 

North Iowa took control in the 

third quarter, scoring on a nine-yard 

touchdown run by Campos with a 

PAT by Kettwick, while holding the 

Mustangs scoreless. 

Newell-Fonda scored once more 

in the fourth with another touchdown 

by Johnson and a two-point 

conversion. Eric Krull then connected 

with Tate Corporon on a 

19-yard touchdown pass to make the 

final score Newell-Fonda 34, North 

Iowa 20. 

“We made way too many mistakes 

early in the game, with turnovers 

and missed tackles,” said 

Bison Head Coach Don Anderson. 

“Our field position the first quarter 

was really poor due to our mistakes, 

and we just dug too big of a hole. 

“We weren’t as aggressive as we 

needed to be to beat a good team like 

Newell-Fonda,” Anderson continued. 

“We weren’t very consistent in 

just about all areas of the game; we 

made some poor reads both offensively 

and defensively. We have 

some things to work on. On the 

positive side, we didn’t give up and 

battled back in the second half and 

made a game of it.”

The Bison prevailed for their 

second win of the season on Friday, 

August 31, in a well-matched contest 

at Harris-Lake Park. 

The Wolves started things off 

with a 32-yard touchdown run in the 

first quarter and the extra point for a 

7-0 lead. The Bison responded as 

Eric Krull pushed through on a oneyard 

touchdown run, but the point 

after kick failed to leave North Iowa 

at a one-point deficit at the end of 

the first. 

The Wolves scored next in the 

second quarter to take a 14-6 lead 

before a 23-yard touchdown run by 

Krull with just 10 seconds remaining 

before halftime. The two-point 

conversion from Krull to Frank 

Campos was good, as the Bison tied 

the game 14-14 at the half. 

North Iowa finally took the lead 

in the third quarter, as Mark 

Milbrandt scored a touchdown off a 

fumble recovery. Milbrandt scored 

again with a 12-yard reception from 

Krull, and with a successful PAT 

kick from Troy Kettwick, the Bison 

had a 27-14 advantage at the end of 

the third. 

Harris-Lake Park responded with 

a 10-yard touchdown run in the 

fourth, along with the point after. 

The Bison fired back, as Campos ran 

in another touchdown from the one 

yard line. The Wolves put the final 

points on the board with a 19-yard 

touchdown pass and point after to 

end the game with the Bison up 

33-28. 

“Very exciting game; either team 

could have won,” said Bison Head 

Coach Don Anderson. “H-LP creates 

a lot of defensive matchups 

with their speed. I thought our kids 

played extremely hard and found a

KICKOFFS 

Tate Corporon 4/155 

Bison off to 2-0 start with win 

at Harris-Lake Park 

way to win the game. A couple of 

things that really enabled us to win 

the game was that we recovered 

three onside kicks and were able to 

run the football in the fourth quarter 

to eat up the clock and keep their 

explosive offense on the sidelines. 

“We have some areas on both 

sides of the ball that we need to 

work on and fix before we play 

against highly rated Newell-Fonda 

[September 7] at Bison Field,” 

added Anderson. “Again, [I’m] 

pleased with the kids’ effort. [It’s] 

nice to be 2-0, but now the games 

become very important with district 

play beginning.”

The Lady Bison hit the road last 

week for matches in Osage and 

Garner, where they were bested by 

both NIC foes. 

First up was Osage on Tuesday, 

Sept. 4, where the Green Devils won 

in three sets, 25-16, 25-15 and 25-11. 

Morgan Hassebroek and Paige 

Hassebroek led the Lady Bison in 

kills with three each, followed by 

Maddie Arnevik and Rachel 

Boekelman with two each. Carly 

Main served the lone ace for North 

Iowa, while M. Hassebroek served 

9/9. Boekelman had one block and 

nine digs. 

“Osage is a great team who will 

probably end up in the top two of our 

conference,” said Lady Bison Head 

Coach Carissa Judge. “They do a 

great job of digging the ball up and 

hitting hard. We came out strong the 

first two games and stuck with them 

until 10/12 points each game. 

Unfortunately, at that point, we 


Lady Bison support “Cally’s Cause” 

The Lady Bison supported a good cause as they played volleyball at Osage last Tuesday, Sept. 4. 

Each Lady Bison purchased a “Cally’s Cause” t-shirt, which supports a special project for people 

fighting cancer. 

Cally Niess, a former Osage volleyball player, came up with the idea of making a Chemo Bag for 

anyone going through chemotherapy after her mother’s battle with breast cancer in March 2009. 

It started as a 4-H project and has since expanded locally, statewide and even nationally. Cally 

sews the bags and then fill them with supplies which are needed while going through chemo. 

Each bag costs around $40 to make and fill up. 

The North Iowa players each bought a t-shirt for $12; $5 of which goes to the cost of putting 

together a bag. The bags are free to the patient, and anyone who knows someone in need of a bag 

may contact North Iowa Head Coach Carissa Judge or email niess@osage.net

The training at www.hunter-ed. 

com/iowa is state-approved and covers 

the same material that’s taught in 

the classroom. The new mobileready 

site features realistic illustrations 

and interactive animations. An 

stayed neutral in our game and they 

stepped up theirs. They got on a little 

run that we could never get 

caught back up or overcome. They 

were running many different plays 

that kept our blockers guessing who 

and where they were going to set. 

“We start out great, but we need 

to maintain playing at the top of our 

game throughout the entire night,” 

added Coach Judge. 

The Lady Bison came out strong 

when they traveled to Garner on 

Thursday, Sept. 6, but they fell to the 

Cardinals in four sets, scoring 28-26, 

8-25, 11-25 and 16-25 

P. Hassebroek led North Iowa 

with nine kills on the night, followed 

by M. Hassebroek with six and 

Arnevik with four. M. Hassebroek 

made 13 digs, and Arnevik served 

two aces. Boekelman served 11/11 

with one ace, and P. Hassebroek 

served 7/7, also with an ace. 

Boekelman made one block. 

“We came out playing really well 

the first game,” said Coach Judge. 

“It was such a fun game to watch, 

and it went back and forth the whole 

game. Our girls did a good job of 

digging and swinging hard at the 

net.” The first set went into extra 

points, with a two-point lead needed 

to win. “I was proud of them for 

sticking with the game and never 

giving up,” added Judge. 

“After the first game, we kind of 

went downhill,” the coach continued. 

“I’m not even sure what happened. 

We were playing timid and 

looked scared to hit the ball out of 

bounds. We struggled with serve 

receive, and when that was good, 

another part of our game was off. We 

just couldn’t put everything together 

the rest of the night. Hopefully we 

can focus on how we played the first 

game and carry that into next week 

against Lake Mills and Mason City 

Newman.”
