BRUCE MEINDERS OF STACIE’S DAIRY ... located southwest of Buffalo Center, conducted a trial run of his new milk processing facility 

at his farm this past weekend. He hopes to have his new “Meinders Farm Fresh Dairy” products in local stores within the next 10 days. 

Local Dairy Gives Shoppers a Fresh Alternative 

The freshest dairy products possible 

will soon be hitting the shelves 

at area stores, thanks to a new 

undertaking by Stacie’s Dairy of 

Buffalo Center. The dairy kicked 

off operations last weekend of its 

new federally inspected on-site processing 

facility, and it expects to 

begin selling “Meinders Farm Fresh 

Dairy” products, including milk, 

butter and ice cream at local grocery 

and convenience stores in the 

next week or so. 

“You just can’t get fresh milk 

around here like we will be able to 

provide,” said Bruce Meinders, who 

owns Stacie’s Dairy. He set out last 

year to process and bottle milk right 

on his farm. His goal — to provide 

the freshest, highest quality product 

that can be found in the area. 

He added an entirely new facility 

on the dairy to handle processing, 

and he searched all over the country 

to find the necessary equipment. 

Bruce points out that most dairy 

processing facilities are very large, 

so it was hard to find smaller equip- 

ment to fit his needs on a dairy with 

60 cows. Some pieces of equipment 

came from as far away as Ohio, 

Idaho, and even Florida. “It was a 

trick to find all the equipment you 

need and put it all together,” said 

Bruce. 

Bruce notes that his dairy is now 

just the tenth one in Iowa with onfarm 

milk processing. The dairy 

also utilizes a robotic milking 

machine, making it the only robotic 

dairy in the United States to bottle 

its own milk. The dairy is federally 

inspected to process Grade A milk. 

Milk will be sold in gallons, half 

gallons and 16-ounce sizes, and 

varieties will include skim, 1%, 2%, 

whole, and 2% chocolate. Ice cream 

will come in a variety of flavors, 

and that along with unsalted butter 

should show up in stores in a couple 

of weeks. 

Bruce says “Meinders Farm 

Fresh Dairy” products will be available 

at area grocery stores including 

Johnson’s Food Center in Buffalo 

Center and Bancroft, Titonka Food 

Center in Titonka and Hy-Vee in 

Algona to begin with. Milk will 

also be supplied to area convenience 

stores. 

Fresh Milk in Rake and Lakota 

Bruce also wants to make his 

products available in area towns 

which don’t have stores. That’s why 

he came up with the idea to have 

vending machines which can dispense 

half gallon jugs of milk. In 

fact, Bruce says his dairy will be the 

only one in the entire country selling 

milk this way. Bruce plans to 

have vending machines in Rake, 

Lakota, Woden, Leland, Fenton, 

Lone Rock and Ringsted. These 

machines should be installed within 

two weeks, according to Bruce. 

The new processing operation is 

a big change for Stacie’s Dairy. The 

farm has been in the Meinders family 

since 1902. It was in that year 

that Dirk and Wupka Meinders purchased 

the farm. They passed it to 

Henry and Nellie Meinders, who 

moved to the farm in 1915, followed 

by Wilbert and Gertrude 

Meinders in 1957, and Bruce, who 

has lived there since 1998. 

To help him run the new operation, 

Bruce has hired Mike Dunn of 

Sturgis, SD, who will graduate this 

spring from South Dakota State 

University with a degree in Dairy 

Processing. Bruce anticipates that 

he will need to add at least one driver 

in order to make deliveries. 

Milk from the dairy should reach 

stores just 1-3 days after being 

milked from the cows, and Bruce 

says his products will be priced 

very competitively with other 

brands. “I hope people are willing 

to try my product, and I hope they 

like it,” said Bruce. 

Bruce and his wife, Stacie, live 

on the farm located seven miles 

southwest of Buffalo Center. They 

have a daughter, Ava, and another 

son or daughter on the way, who is 

expected to arrive in just four 

weeks. 

A BRAND NEW FACILITY HOUSES ... the milk processing operations for “Meinders Farm Fresh Dairy” products. Construction on the new 

building, located at Stacie’s Dairy seven miles southwest of Buffalo Center, took place over the winter, and dairy owner Bruce Meinders 

searched all over the country to find the equipment needed to fill it. 

NORTH IOWA’S 8TH GRADERS ... logged a lot of miles between March 27 and April 2, as they embarked on their Destination D.C. trip 

to the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. They made stops at Chicago, the University of Notre Dame, Gettysburg Battlefield and Harpers 

Ferry before reaching their destination. The students and chaperones were in a patriotic mood as they waved flags on the bus during one 

leg of their trip.

On the Side by Brad Hicks 

Ka-daffy? 

As we shuttled through the city, the lack of protest and gunplay was 

surprising. We had expected more violence, but in real terms, it was quiet. 

The only nerve-racking moments were at the palace gate - not so much for 

the armed guards behind dark glasses, but for the feeling that at just about 

any time, a Tomahawk cruise missile might drill its way into the side of the 

building, sending lethal hailstones made of concrete flying in every direction. 

We noted the lack of security upon our arrival. We chalked it up to 

being pre-cleared, pre-checked, and closely guarded for several hours prior 

to the meeting. Once we were inside the palace, we walked just a few 

dozen steps to a room where we sat down. Within seconds, he entered the 

room. 

"Welcome to my home," he said. 

"Thank you, Mr. Gadhafi," I replied. 

To have landed this interview was quite a coup. Lots of journalists 

would have pulled every shenanigan in the book to beat us out for this 

opportunity. We ran that gauntlet, which was more littered with problems 

than the actual trip to Tripoli. 

"I am going to move about, taking photos," my partner said. "Is that 

OK with you?" 

"Yes. But take more from this side, my good side," the Libyan leader 

said with a laugh, pointing to both cheeks. 

We laughed, too. 

"What do you want to know, my friend?" asked the colonel, with a wry 

smile. "I am an open book." 

"Well, to tell you the truth, the first thing most journalists want to do 

is spell someone's name correctly. Frankly, your name has been spelled so 

many different ways in the world press that none of us even knows what's 

correct. So, if you could, can you give me the way you want it spelled?" 

He laughed. 

"Spell it M-o-a-m-m-a-r." 

There was a silence. 

"Ah, yes. I understand. Um, it's your last name that no one understands. 

I think we know Moammar." 

The wrinkles on the leader's face folded into one another, creating a 

weird type of doubting smirk. 

"Any way is fine." 

"Well, not for us journalists. We need to know." 

"I do not think you understand. Any way is fine. I care not." 

"But we journalists do." 

"Spell it any way you want." 

"Well, I mean, how is it on, say, your driver's license?" 

"I do not drive. People drive me." 

"But, if you drove, how would it be spelled on there?" 

"I have never given it much thought." 

By now, I could see he was losing some patience. 

"Well, I'm sure, sir, that as you don't need a driver's license, or probably 

have to sign a tax return, or write checks, you probably don't have to 

sign your name much." 

He leaned back in his chair. 

"Yes. You are right," he said smiling. "It's good to be me, no matter 

how I spell my name." He leaned forward in his chair, smiled, then sat back 

and folded his arms. "Maybe I should spell my name different ways on purpose." 

"Uh, sir?" 

"Yes, I think different spellings would be fun. And I could base it on 

how I feel. Here's one. When I am feeling invincible, I will call myself 

God-hafi." 

"Sir, I just wanted..." 

"And when I do my original rap lyrics, I will be Kaff-daddy," 

"Uh, how would you..." 

"And when I am in one of my great humor moods, I will be Ka-daffy. 

Or Kad-laughy." 

"About your sense of hum..." 

"And when I am having one of those days when I am confused about 

who I am - do you ever have any of those days?" 

"Sir?" 

"You know, when you think you should have been a shepherd, or a 

camel feeder, or yes, even a journalist - maybe all at once? Like four personalities 

in one? Well, I could be a Quad-daffi." 

"Do you have many of those multiple personality days, sir?" 

"Doesn't everyone? Don't you?" 

"Uh, sure," I said, sensing that was the right answer. 

"And when I want to go to the circus, I could be Kad-taffy. By the 

looks of my waistline, perhaps I should be Kad-tabby! Oh-oh, here's a 

good one - when I am sick, I can be Coughdaddy. Write that down." 

"Yes, I think I have the answer to that question. Now, if we could 

move on to the next topic." 

"I like you. This has been fun, but our time is over, regretfully. I need 

to mapquest a few routes into Uganda and Niger." 

"Are you making escape plans?" 

"Mr. word man, you don't stay in power for four decades by being a 

Mad-daffy. Ha! Another one! I can't wait to see my names on the internet!"

In the end, 

it must bring 

him glory 

By Sue Hicks 

It is hard to bring glory and 

praise to God. Think of Joseph who 

was sent to Egypt to save his people 

"by a great deliverance," after all 

those years of unjust imprisonment. 

Think of Moses, 400 years later, 

who led them out after hiding in the 

desert 40 years, only for another 40 

years of wandering to follow. 

Bringing glory and praise to God 

involves being stretched to the 

uttermost. It is because God wants 

all the glory. He will not share it. 

Moses was sent to Pharaoh 10 

times, and each time, God hardened 

Pharaoh's heart toward Moses and 

the Hebrews. Even when he did let 

them go, Pharaoh's hardness reared 

up. He chased after the Israelites 

with his armies. 

Today we think of praise being 

about worship songs and glory 

being some sort of holy miasma 

which will descend upon us if we 

sing long and true enough. But it 

costs much more than that. 

"For which of you, intending to 

build a tower, does not first sit 

down and estimate the cost, to see 

whether he has enough to complete 

it? Otherwise, when he has laid a 

foundation and is not able to finish, 

all who see it will begin to ridicule 

him, saying, 'this fellow began to 

build and was not able to finish.' Or, 

what king, going out to wage war 

against another king, will not sit 

down first and consider whether he 

is able with 10,000 to oppose the 

one who comes against him with 

20,000? If he cannot, then, while 

the other is still far away, he sends a 

delegation and asks for the terms of 

peace. So therefore, none of you 

can become my disciple if you do

not give up all you have." Luke 

14:28-33. 

Jesus asks us to give up our ownership, 

our rights. It may be the 

right to health and well-being; it 

may be possessions; it may be family; 

it may be the right to a life-partner, 

it may be a dream job. But 

sooner or later, no matter what it is, 

he will ask it of you, just as he has 

of me. He asks us to go through 

these things - and they are always 

hard things - because that is what 

will bring the Father glory. As 

David said in Psalm 42 as he was 

longing for God and his help in distress: 

"I will yet praise him, my savior 

and my God." 

David wasn't afraid to tell God 

how bad he felt in the deep that 

called to deep. We don't get out of 

the pain either. But we can get 

through. Recently, I was crying to 

God out of my own depths, and it 

seemed to me that Jesus was asking 

something of me. He asked me if I 

couldn't go through it for myself, 

could I go through it for him? 

As long as you are with me, was 

all I could sniffle. It has changed a 

lot for me. I still feel bad, but now 

this time, is not meaningless. In 

whatever way he can work it out 

(that I don't know) it will surely end 

by bringing God glory. 

Still not convinced? God doesn't 

do that, you say? He looks after and 

blesses those he loves and gives 

them everything? What matters to 

you matters to God? 

Consider this, Jesus prayed on 

the night of his betrayal: "Father, I 

desire that those whom you have 

given me, may be with me where I 

am to see my glory, which you have 

given me because you loved me 

before the foundation of the world." 

John 17:24. 

Where was Jesus? He was on the 

precipice of betrayal, arrest, scourging 

and crucifixion. 

And yes, his disciples did join 

and Mrs. Mel Leibrand purchased 

the property last year with an eye to 

eventually expanding their business 

location on North Main Street.

News from 

TMNH 

By Sandy Bashans, Activity Director 

Our Residents Council met on 

Monday morning to make plans for 

the month of April. There were 

quite a few decisions to make, but 

we got it all done. 

Tuesday, a group of ladies were 

here from St. Paul’s Church to play 

bingo. We had a good time and won 

various kinds of packaged cookies 

and chips for lunch, and had good 

conversation. 

Marlin Molskness was our 

entertainment on Saturday. We’re 

sure glad that he is up and around 

again and ready to come back and 

play for us. 

We had our regular activities 

this week of reading, exercise, current 

events, and let’s talk. Also, 

games of circle bean bag toss, 

bowling, kilroy and target ball. 

It’s starting to warm up a bit, so 

we’re hoping for it to get nice 

enough to go outside and enjoy the 

fresh air soon. That, we’re looking 

forward to. 

The Baptist Church was in 

charge of the services on Sunday. 

We always appreciate them coming. 

It is very important to us to 

have our services each Sunday, and 

we look forward to them. 

Hey, guess what? The snow is 

gone around TMNH, so we’re 

going to start making plans for our 

annual Easter Egg Hunt. Due to a 

huge amount of snow still around 

last year, we couldn’t have it, so 

this year, we hope it’s a “go”. 

So mark your calendars for 

Saturday, April 23 for our Easter 

Egg Hunt! See you then. 

Think warm weather.

The spring district meeting is 

May 1 at Eagle Grove. A letter from 

President Phyllis Bierle was read. 

The present officers decided to 

keep their office for another year. 

The Charter was draped in 

honor of Frances Kelso. Eleanor M. 

and Chaplain Deloris S. read the 

ceremony. The closing prayer was 

read by Chaplain Deloris S. 

The meeting was adjourned to 

be opened May 2. Eleanor M. is the

Thank You Very Much! 

The North Iowa Middle School 8th grade class 

would like to extend a warm thank you to the North 

Iowa School Community for the outstanding support 

shown to us in our efforts to fund the annual 

Destination DC trip. The support shown for the students 

by local businesses and individuals was wonderful. 

We hope it is gratifying to know that you each 

played a part in providing these students with a once 

in a lifetime experience. 

A special thank you is also extended to Mike 

Holstad, Susan Embrock, Lisa Mathahs, Mike 

Embrock and Amanda Smith for their guidance and 

assistance to the Destination DC trip. We appreciate 

their time and efforts. 

Again, we thank all of you. 

Golfers Win 

First Outing 

The North Iowa boys and girls 

golf teams both won in their opening 

meet at Gruis on Tuesday, April 

5. The boys were led by medalist 

Eric Krull’s score of 36 for a team 

total of 193 to edge out WCLT by 

one point. Haley Engelbarts 

medaled in the girls’ meet to lead 

North Iowa to a 256 total. 

Head coach Vic Garza says the 

teams have had a short practice season 

so far due to the weather, but he 

has seen improvement in the 

golfers’ shooting. He says the key 

to their continued success will be 

working more on their short game 

and putting.

Obituaries 

Joslyn D. Miller, 53 

Joslyn Diane Miller, 53, of Twin 

Falls, ID, returned home to her heavenly 

Father, peacefully surrounded 

by family and friends on April 4, 

2011 after a courageous battle with 

cancer. 

A memorial service was held at 

Parke's Magic Valley Funeral Home 

in Twin Falls on Saturday, April 9, 

2011. 

Joslyn was born on September 10, 

1957 in Minneapolis, MN to proud 

parents, Don and Lilah Gill. A few 

years later they moved to Iowa. 

Joslyn and her family lived in numerous 

towns across Iowa, however 

Rake was always known as home. 

After graduating from high school 

in Spencer, IA, Joslyn moved to 

Idaho to be with her sister, Julie and 

her family. Shortly after her move, 

she met the love of her life, Shawn. 

Together they had one daughter, Kari Lynn. Kari, was the light of her life 

and she was never too proud to share stories or accomplishments with her 

friends and coworkers about her daughter. Joslyn was the mom everyone 

loved and adopted as their own. She had a way about her that always left 

you with a smile. Always there to offer advice, or a shoulder of support, 

Joslyn was the go-to friend for countless people. 

Joslyn could easily be known as the face of the Twin Falls Target. For 

the past 18 years, she was recognized in a myriad of places. From the aisles 

of grocery stores to the library, "Don't I know you from somewhere?" was 

an all too typical question of hers. Gracefully, she would smile and let them 

know about her red and khaki connection. Her coworkers were more than 

just people she worked with, they became her second family. Her smiling 

face will truly be missed from the service desk and her voice from the team 

member "walkies". 

Joslyn enjoyed the outdoors and reading a good book while soaking in 

the sun. She could often be found relaxed on the shore, while Shawn and 

Kari fished the waters below. She had a profound love of ducks and their 

symbol of strength. For those who knew Joslyn, she was the epitome of 

courage and a pillar of strength, not only for herself but for all around her, 

particularly for Kari. 

In recent years, Joslyn lived life to the fullest including trips of whitewater 

rafting in Stanley, playing blackjack in Jackpot, and especially welcoming 

a grandson, Carson, whom she loved to hear laugh, and cuddle 

with while reading bedtime stories. 

Joslyn is survived by her daughter, Kari (Charles) Lindemood and their 

son, Carson; her sisters-in-law Macie and MaiLin Miller; brothers-in-laws 

Rod, Phillip and Vince Miller; her nieces Jennifer Peterson, Krystyl Miller 

and Lauren Miller; her nephews, Scott Peterson, Andrew Peacock, Nick 

Miller, and Mason Miller; her aunt and uncle, Kathleen and Daniel 

Bowman; and her loving golden retriever, Abbey Mae. 

Joslyn was a rare treasure in life and will be dearly missed by all whose 

paths she crossed. 

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her name to the funeral 

home for a memorial plaque to be placed at the Mountain States Tumor 

Institute at St. Luke's Magic Valley. 

Those wishing to share condolences may do so at www.magicvalleyfuneralhome.com.

Leona completed her high school education in California. Leona married 

Paul Lemme on June 17, 1949. They farmed near Buffalo Center and near 

Garner, before moving to Thompson, IA. They then moved to Kiester, MN 

in 1966. Later in life, Leona earned a Certified Medication Assistant certificate 

from Albert Lea Technical College. 

Leona and Paul have three children: Gary Lemme of Brookings, SD, 

Steven Lemme of Henderson, NV, and Heidi Wertjes of Necedah, WI; 10 

grandchildren and one great grandchild. 

Leona was preceded in death by her parents and nephew, Roberto Del 

Rosario.

Classrooms that participated in 

this exciting reading incentive 

included those taught by Mrs. Price, 

Mrs. Giesking, Mr. Eichenberger, 

Mrs. Huntington and Mrs. Leerar. 

The teachers say it’s important to 

work with parents as a team to help 

children develop good reading 

habits that last a lifetime.

Fish & Wildlife 

Service Plans 

Prescribed Burns 

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (USFWS), in cooperation 

with the Iowa Department of 

Natural Resources (IDNR), plans 

to conduct a number of prescribed 

burns this spring season. The burns 

will occur on the Union Slough 

National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) 

near Titonka, a unit of the Northern 

Tallgrass Prairie NWR near St. 

Benedict, and on various federal 

Waterfowl Productions Areas in the 

area which are managed by IDNR 

and USFWS. 

Before a prescribed burn is performed, 

a plan must be approved 

which details the resource management 

objectives of the burn, the 

weather conditions required for a 

successful burn, and an operational 

TOP NORTH IOWA READER KRISTA SCHUTTER ... shows that 

reading can be done anywhere and at any time, as she multitasks 

by reading while dribbling a basketball. Krista read more than 

26,000 pages during a reading incentive program at the school this 

year. 

plan which outlines the number of 

personnel and equipment needed to 

implement the burn as well as a 

“contingency plan”, or steps to be 

taken if the burn was to go out of 

control. All members of the burn 

crew, whether federal or state 

employees, will have completed at 

least 32 hours of training. 

The burns are conducted to 

achieve a number of habitat related 

objectives such as reducing vegetative 

cover, exotic and woody 

species control, nutrient cycling, 

weed control, and native prairie 

restoration. Additionally, prescribed 

burns help to protect our 

neighbors in the event of a wildfire. 

Periodic controlled burns reduce 

hazardous fuel loads and ultimately 

reduce the threat of wildfire to adjacent 

private lands. 

If you have specific questions 

regarding any aspect of the prescribed 

burning program administered 

by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, contact: Fire Management 

Specialist, Dan Paulson at 515-928- 

2523 or Union Slough NWR, 1710 

360th Street, Titonka, IA 50480.
