Youth Environmental Agriculture Days program was held May 2 through May 5 at the Eagle Grove
fairgrounds for its twenty first year. The program was
developed by and continues to be sponsored by Iowa
State University Extension & Outreach, County Conservation Services and Farm Bureau Offices in Hamilton,
Humboldt, Webster, and Wright Counties, NEW Coop
and the NC Iowa STEM HUB. Over five hundred and
sixty fifth grade students along with adults including
teachers were in attendance during the four days of the
2016 program. Fifth graders from St. Edmonds, SE Valley and Community Christian School were the schools
that participated from Webster County. Other schools
from the four counties also attended.

Youth Environmental Agriculture Days help
youth develop an understanding of the impact of agriculture upon the environment, their everyday lives, and
health and safety. Youth Environmental Agriculture
Days provide youth opportunities to: experience the biotechnology side of agriculture, understand by-products,
appreciate importance of value added agriculture to Iowas economy and job market, become aware of agriculture related careers available in Iowa, learn about Iowas
natural resources, and practice sun safety.

Fifth graders had an opportunity to participate
in seven different sessions, 25 minutes in length, during
the day: Chemical Safety, Why Water? (Importance
of water), From Farm to YOU! (Food cycle and value
added agriculture), Sun Smart (positive and negative effects of the sun); Food, Fuel & Fiber (corn and soybean
by-products); 21st Century Agriculture (biotechnology),
and Energize your Future (alternative energy sources-solar, wind, bio). The session presenters included ISU Ex-
tension county, and state staff; county conservation naturalists, and NRCS staff. Public health nurses screened
youth with derma scan.

Parents loved Dayton. . .

Hi Glenn,

My parents grew up in Dayton (Sarah Homeier Shostrom and Earl Shostrom) and their love of their
hometown lasted for a lifetime, even though they lived
in Des Moines following WWII. They LOVED to return
every year for the all-school reunionDad graduated in
1939 and mom in 1941.

All four of their parents died while still Dayton
residents, and many Homeiers and Chinburgs (Grandma
Shostroms family) and Shostroms are buried in the cemetery there, including most recently (2015), my aunt and
moms sister, Mary Homeier. My fathers sister is Lois
Shostrom Kerr, and she still lives in Des Moines but frequently visits Dayton and local friends.

One of the Shostroms was a mayor of Dayton
at one time. I think it was my great-grandpa, Elmer
Shostrom, father of Russell [known as Jack], father of
Earl and Lois.

Sarah died in 2007 and Earl died in 2011. Dad
left a bequest to the town of Dayton and the council decided to use it for the gazebo park by the former school.
Hence the plaque.

My brother, Keith Shostrom, and I are very
pleased at the way the bequest has been used for something that is an attractive addition to the town, available
for use by all Dayton citizens.

We enjoy a good, safe life in southern Webster
County. We are blessed indeed.

Recently we have observed the tragic wildfires
in Alberta, Canada and thousands of people have lost
their homes.

In Oklahoma, residents are experiencing many
hundreds of earthquakes each year. It is a recent phenomenon associated with the oil/gas industry. Most residents are living in fear these days.

Across the nation we have observed major
storms create havoc and disaster across the lower 48
states. The weather has been sometimes devastating and
it is always unpredictable.

But in Iowa, our beloved Hawkeye state, we
have remained relatively safe. We praise God for this
blessing. And we think of all the beleaguered citizens
of other nearby states who have experienced many hardships.

By Jill Viles
To realize that Coach Ed Thomas first introduced
Joan Becker to her future husband, as well as led a
Bible Study for young couples at their shared church,
is to understand the resilient relationship the Thomas
and Becker families have maintained in happy times
and in sorrow.
Neither could have imagined the budding relationship Coach Thomas first watched bloom would years
late produce a son who would ultimately cut Coach
Thomass life short. In the years since this tragic
event, the Becker family, the Thomas family, and most
significantly, Mark Becker himself, have retraced the events
leading to this sorrowful day in an effort to prevent other families from facing such an enormous tragedy.

Joan Becker opened her speech at the Gowrie
Community Center May 7with a point of unity. Each of us,
in our lives, face incredible storms. These may be life storms,
such as I have experienced, or perhaps natural storms such as
tornados or floods or other acts of nature, said Becker as she
spoke to an audience gathered at the community center as part
of the Gowrie Public Librarys visiting author series.

The crowd of approximately forty listened intently
as Joan Becker focused on the years preceding Coach Thomas untimely passing, as well as the difficulties the Becker
family encountered while working with the states mental
health system.

Becker candidly shared that she never imagined
the events that unfolded on June 24, 2009 would have taken
place. On this morning she received numerous calls on her
cell phone while at work in Ames, and her husband also received numerous calls as he set to work directing mechanics
in their morning duties.

At the first mention of something amiss with the
beloved football coach, both Joan and her husband imagined
Coach Thomas had suffered a heart attack. Instead, it was
a phone call from a neighbor that first made Marks father,
Dave, realize the seriousness of the incident.

Neighbor, you need to return home, he admonished. Law enforcement is surrounding your home. Both
would return home to a nightmare of unimaginable proportionsa coach beloved by all in Parkersberg and beyond had
been fatally shot in the weight room at the local high school,
and their middle son, Mark, was believed to be the perpetrator.
In her speech, Joan Becker redirected her talk from
this moment of tragedy to the happy events unfolding in the
Becker family. Recently theyve welcomed a first grandbaby
to the family. New life is entering our family, and this is truly
beautiful, she shares as she reminisces about their eldest son.

Their youngest son has set up a home in Ankeny,
and this brings great joy as well. Just far enough to not overvisit, suggests Joan with a chuckle. Family photos of happier
days with Mark scroll past on her laptop, and brilliant smiles
of a family moving forward breathe life into a family portrait
on a table at the front of the room.

Mark was a go-getter from the moment he was
born suggests Joan as she speaks of her middle sons entrance
into the world on his due date of June 3 He climbed all over
the place and took his first steps at an ambitious eight and a
half months. All seemed well in the early years. Mark enjoyed sports, vocal music and band. His parents described
him as a leader among his peers.

However, all this seemed to change as Mark entered
his mid teen years. Theyd considered themselves a churchgoing family, one open to discuss topics such as avoidance of
drug and alcohol. So, it took Marks parents by surprise as
Mark shared his life had become entangled with law enforcement as he experimented with marijuana.

We were really thrown off by this, Joan admits
candidly.

Mark was ordered to attend outpatient group counseling for several weeks, and Joan Becker made sure her son
attended each session. However, she was disappointed from
the onset that parents were not admitted to the sessions. They
had wanted to tackle this as a family. Instead, she waited in
the hospital parking lot watching the teens in the car parked
beside her roll joints and doubting the efficacy of the counseling her son was receiving if this is what was occurring outside.

Mark Becker attended regular counseling sessions
with a trusted counselor by the end of high school. He was
setting goals and attaining them. He was excited for the next
chapter of his life, observed Joan. We were excited for
him.

Unfortunately, Marks zest for a promising future
ground to a near halt at several points in his young life. His
mother kept a journal of the turbulent years between August
of 2004 and June 2009. It wasnt until Joan looked over this
journal, in light of the Parkersburg tragedy, that she truly recognized a pattern of behavior. When you live with someone
from day to day, you dont really notice a pattern, she explains. He was very depressed, but there was much more to
it.

During these battles with on again-off again depression, Mark relocated 12 times and had 11 jobs. He attended and withdrew from college a total of three times. He
would get excited about his coursework, and things seemed to
be going great, but then the depression would overtake him.
According to this mother, Mark would be so depressed he
seemed to inhabit a cocoon, withdrawing further and further
from family and friends.

However, he was able to hold down a year and a
half period of time as an assistant store manager at a grocery
store. He was a great worker, Joan attests, but he seemed
to fall into the same cycle over and over. He got involved
with heavy drug use though Joan insists he wasnt an addict.
He would call and insist he didnt like the person he was when
he used drugs. He would call and tell us what he was doing
and say he wanted to move home. Home was a safe place for
Mark.

It was during these returns to home that Mark would
open up about the storm cloud of mental illness plaguing his
life. He described that overwhelmed him. He would insist
this illness was feeding lies into his head.

On one of his returns to his parents home, they recall curious happenings. Mark would describe dark shapes
moving about the trees surrounding his parents home. He
would insist on closing the binds to hide from these entities.

While living for a period of time with his older
brother, Mark fell into paranoid behavior as well. Some
days were great, Marks bother insisted. Wed just relax
and hang outhave a beer, play the guitar. But, other days
were entirely different.

When he changed it was like his whole demeanor
changed. His face would look different. His body language
was different. I would sleep with my bedroom door unlocked.
I didnt know what was going on. In the aftermath of the devastating tornado that hit Parkersburg in May of 2008, Mark
contacted his parents and insisted they were too busy helping
others, and they had enough to do and shouldnt worry about
him.

Following this, Mark moved in, once again, with his
parents. One of the stipulations of returning home required
Mark to participate in unannounced drug testing, administered by his parents, at home. He completed the second task
as well: finding a job. However, Marks behavior at home
was erratic. Marks mother would believe she was hearing
Mark conduct a conversation perhaps on a cell phone when
he was out of her sight, but as she checked on him, found he
was speaking to no one.

During this time period, Mark became increasingly
wary of psychologists. His parents were concerned that when
they tried to talk with him, it sometimes appeared that he
didnt hear them even as they were speaking to him.

Marks symptoms increased dramatically in September 2008. Mark experienced a full-blown psychotic
episode this timekicking and screaming and couching low
beside his bed. He was convinced he was being attacked,
and thought his parents, Coach Ed Thomas, and leaders at
his church had formed a conspiracy against him. He left the
house terribly unsettled.

If you dont believe me, Im better off dead! he
screamed.

Never to be forgotten . . .

Has it been almost two years? Yes, Memorial
Day weekend will be the second anniversary of what
may have been the very last alumna get together for the
graduates, former faculty/employees, and some friends/
former students of the Boxholm Consolidated and Grand
Community Schools. It was a great time, much talking
(not enough time to get it all in), touring the building,
reminiscing, laughing, old story telling and perhaps a few
tears. Would there ever be another? If so, where would/
could it be held? How many now attending might be
there again? Questions and questions and no answers
only hopes.

Since these occasions have been held every
three years, with that third year coming up in 2017, some
of us have heard the question Do you suppose will
there bewhats gonna happen?--- The old building has
closed, even the new gym so appropriate and an ample
space for such a gathering. The numbers are bound to
have dwindled and probably will dwindle more in another year. Several have gone to their heavenly reward or for
some reason are not or wont be able to travel but those
remaining still have the love and caring in their hearts for
the old school. That is not necessarily a building but
the memories associated with what went on in that place.

It was not just the learning which is thought
to be the main reason to have a school but many more
things. It was the friends we made through those classrooms, the various activities. Sometimes we really got
to know another person (both students and faculty) by
our various associations. There were the athletic teams.
Seventy years ago there were two sports, basketball and
baseball and only basketball enjoyed by both boys and
girls. There were those who were on the Spotlight staff
and those were from various grades so we learned there
too. There were the music groups and even soloists.
Here again a senior may be seated by or in same section
as a freshman. How about the plays? They were mainly
Junior and Senior ones but now high schools have plays/
musicals and all students can try out for the parts. There
were speech/debate contests and a bit of competition between our school and other nearby ones. Now I cant

begin to list all the extra-curricular opportunities for

various and multi-talented students. I think it is great!

I realize that to offer students all the possibilities of using their brains and talents in class work that
those extracurricular activities are sometimes as important. People who may not be so great academically find
they have abilities in other fields that make take them
far in their lives. They allow introverts/shy persons to
come out of their shells and mix and share with others
and at the same time may bring the egotistical ones down
a notch or two.

In order to offer all the opportunities to youth
that are at all possible there must be a banding together
of financial and venue resources. Reading of all the
things students are doing in this new merger school, I
am amazed. Of course to give the best there may always
have to be some drawbacks. In this case it would appear
that the biggest drawback would be the miles being travelled, especially for the younger ones. But, in anything,
if it is to be good or bring advantages to many there has
to be some compromise. The sad thing is that something
generally has to be given up too.

I think we, the graduates of BHS and GC feel
the loss in the closing of our building. It means such
a finality that we dont want. Just as we dont always
want to see our parents find a time when they have to
leave the old homestead and thus lose the home we
were so familiar with that we felt would be forever is
no more ours but will either belong to another family or
even meet its abandonment or demise we feel a sadness
in knowing that things can never be the same. But for a
while our school building will be in its spot at the south
entrance of the town, standing proudly as if to say, My
doors are still here, ready to open and welcome.

I know I am not the only one who would hope
that for their remaining able days they could always go
home again at least once every three years. Id still like
to have the health and stamina to meet one more time but
if that is not to be because of my own frailties or other
reasons then I can reminisce and be glad we have those
memories. Are you remembering too?

Boone County 4-H Receives a $2,000 grant

Beef Pen of 3 Scale and Head Gate. . .

Boone County 4-H received a $2,000 Working
Here Fund grant for a beef pen of 3 scale and head gate.
The grant is provided through Farm Credit Services of
Americas (FCSAmerica) Working Here Fund.

The Boone County 4-H will be purchasing a
cattle chute with head gate and scale to finalize their Beef
Pen of 3 Barn structure. This project will offer a realistic
cattle feeding experience for young people interested in
the cattle industry and will allow more accurate measurement of individual cattle to help provide information on
efficiency of the feeding program used by the 4-H students. The new barn also offers an improvement to the
safety of both exhibitors and spectators.

The project consists of purchasing, feeding
and marketing three steers or heifers, said Mary Clancy,
Boone County 4-H. Members may identify and weigh

in up to five head in December and then select three to
re-weigh and show at the county fair in July.

At FCSAmerica, many of us grew up in agriculture and continue to farm. We know first-hand the
value of agriculture education and are proud to partner
with Boone County 4-H to ensure future generations have
the same opportunities for learning, said Cheryl Mannetter, regional vice president of retail operations at FCSAmericas Perry office.

Boone County 4-H is one of 107 organizations
to receive a Working Here Fund grant in the first quarter
of 2016. FCSAmerica awarded $179,000 during the latest
grant cycle ending March 31, 2016.

AKSARBEN AG Leaders Scholarship

The AKSARBEN Foundation today announced
50 students from a seven-state region as the 2016 recipients of an AKSARBEN AG Leaders Scholarship. Together the students will receive $100,000 in recognition
of their contributions to the agricultural tradition of the
Heartland.

The AG Leaders Scholarship program is designed to provide scholarships annually to youth who
have participated in our stock show but never had the opportunity to participate in the Purple Ribbon Auction,
said Kevin Kock, executive director of AKSARBEN Agriculture Initiatives. These students are leaders and by
supporting their passion we hope to keep as many of them
as possible leading our rural communities.

Nearly 1,200 4-H Exhibitors from a 10-state
region take part in the AKSARBEN 4-H Stock Show
each year. Each AG Leaders Scholarship winner is a high
school senior and 4-H Exhibitor who has participated in
the stock show for three or more years. The scholars also
plan to attend a two or four year college or university
and have expressed interest in pursuing a career related
to agriculture or a non-agriculture career within a rural
community.

Scholarships are at the core of AKSARBEN
Foundations mission. Founded in 1895, the non-profit
organization based in Omaha, NE funds and guides best

Josh Carlson of Gowrie is one of 50 students from
seven states (including 16 Iowa students) named as a 2016
winner of AKSARBEN AG Leaders Scholarship. Each
scholarship awardee is a 4-H member who has exhibited at
the AKSARBEN Stock Show and Rodeo in Omaha and will
receive $2,000 toward their education.
practice, needs-based scholarship programs for Heartland

youth, awarding over $1 million annually.

AKSARBEN Foundation President Jon Burt
said the organization is proud of its newest group of AG
Leaders Scholarship recipients and thankful for the generosity of its members.

AG Leaders not only exemplifies the Foundations commitment to scholarships and agriculture, Burt
said. It further demonstrates our mission of giving back
to the community and moving forward Heartland prosperity.

2016 AKSARBEN AG Leaders Scholarship

Blunk shot 63, and Anna Hanson 64. Sage Michalski and

Are We Thankful?

Are we a thankful people? Do we show our appreciation when good things continue to happen to us?
Not nearly enough!
We take things for granted, including the blessings we
receive every day. We take for granted things from our
friends, our families. We may remember to say thank
you, but many times we are neglectful even when it is
deserved. We really fail to thank God for all of the blessings He gives us, and we have so much for which to be
thankful. Our Spring/Summer blessings include beautiful flowers, birds and butterflies. You also give us beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and even rain when we need
it.When we do remember to thank God and those around
us, it gives us a deep peace in our hearts. Ive also felt if
we are too busy to say thank you, we need to slow down
and appreciate what is around us.

Prayer: Lord, thank You for every blessing, but
especially the blessings that come to us daily. Help us to
slow down and enjoy our lives and to remember to thank
those who deserve our thanks. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen

Second worst state?

Open Letter to Iowans:

I am saddened and disgusted. Shame on the
legislators who failed to pass a simple bill in the legislature this year providing more oversight on the cruel
despicable puppy mill industry.

Republican members of the House Agriculture committee failed us and the animals. Each year the
Humane Society of the United States compiles USDA
inspection information on commercial dog breeders all
over the country. They determine the top 100 worst puppy mill breeders from among them and produce a report
they call The Horrible Hundred.

These inhumane Iowa puppy mill breeders have
been included on this list every year. Last year we were
#4 ; this year has seen the largest increase landing us second worst state in the nation!

Tell me, please, how can these legislators and
puppy mill breeders look into the eyes of the dog who
gives and gives, only to be treated with profound wretchedness and cruelty without feeling one iota of remorse?
Sincerely,

Letter to editor . .
Are Iowa schools being properly funded

by state of Iowa? One person says no
Open Letter to Iowans:

Other than parenting, and perhaps the ministry,
serving in Americas public schools is the highest calling
to which a person can aspire. Itis the public school system that most accurately reflects the Promise of America,
where everyone is welcome, regardless of economic status, religious conviction, gender, race, political persuasion, language of origin, or mental or physical challenge.

Iowa public schools continue to perform well
notwithstanding the continued failure of a segment of the
General Assembly and Governor to support adequate, reliable and equitable funding of the system. As a result of
the lack of support, public schools across the state are
forced to consider staff reductions, increased class-sizes,
and a reduction of programs and services for students.

It comes at a time when our public schools are
serving the most diverse student population than at any
time in the history of the state. This is accompanied by
higher expectations and the ever increasing demands of
our complex society.

While diversity contributes to a rich educational environment, it also elevates challenges and consequently, costs. Even our best schools are simply not good
enough, despite graduating over 90% of lowa students
statewide. We still have more to accomplish. And these
changes and challenges are confronting districts of all
sizes.

When confronted about why the failure to adequately and equitably fund Iowa public schools, those
responsible have a litany of responses including: school
districts need to be more efficient; you cant simply
throw money at the problem; there is insufficient state
revenue; public schools should adopt practices used
in the private sector; increased revenue will simply be
given to teachers. Lets take a look at these responses.

Public school districts need to be more efficient. Any independent audit and analysis of public
school management of resources will clearly demonstrate that the typical system is extremely efficient. As a
result of such an audit and analysis in one of our districts
by an independent task force, in a final report the opening statement of the task force chairperson was, There
is no wanton waste in this school district. Many private
companies could take a lesson in efficient management
from the public school in their community.

You cant simply throw money at the problem. Ive served in public education for over fifty five
years. Just once Id like to see the decision makers throw
money at the system. All financial resources directed to
public schools will most likely be wisely and efficiently
used on behalf of children. Historical endeavors, such as
landing a man on the moon, have proven that large sums
of money directed toward a specific public good can accomplish what might previously been thought of as impossible. Lets give it a try just once, i.e., throw money
at education.

There is insufficient state revenue. This is the
current favorite of those opposed to adequate, reliable
and equitable funding. Guess what. The lack of revenue
is self-imposed. A certain segment of the Iowa General
Assembly and the Governor have determined that tax
cuts for friends and supporters is a higher priority than
investing in Iowa public schools. Dont be fooled by the
insufficient revenue excuse. Its a question of values.
The message to Iowans is clear, even our early pioneers
knew better than to eat their seed corn! Continuing on the
course of underfunding public schools is tantamount to
mortgaging the future. This is unconscionable and must
stop.

Public schools should adopt practices used in
the private sector. How often have we heard this one?
In an interview, the CEO of a very large manufacturing corporation was asked how they were able to produce a product of such high quality. The response was,
We start with the very best raw material, and if we get
less than the best raw material, we throw it out and start
over. Thankfully, we in public schools do not select our
raw material or throw out the less than perfect. Every
child that enters the system is welcome, nurtured and entitled.

Increased revenue will simply be given to
teachers. This comment often comes from some of the
same people who admonish us to attract and retain the
very best teachers and administrators possible. In all
public schools, nearly eighty percent of the budget is invested in personnel because that is how we deliver critical services. You can be assured very few people choose

a profession in public school education to become rich.

Too little invested in staff deprives students of meaningful attention and encourages the private sector to recruit
low-paid talented teachers and administrators, scientists,
mathematicians, and literate communicators from our
ranks. Of course a good portion of revenue will, as it
should, be invested in the employment and development
of personnel.

Public schools continue to be Americas Promise. However, due to continued lack of adequate, reliable,
and equitable funding coupled with unrealistic mandates,
Iowas public schools, the very epitome of the American
dream, are in serious jeopardy. Folks, this is no time for
the timid or reticent. You and I must be willing to be visible, vocal advocates. Not just for school boards, administrators, teachers or even for the school system. We must
be advocates for the hundreds of thousands of children
who arrive in Iowas public schools every day, and whose
future well-being depends on what we do today.

Leave baby animals where they belong. . .
Rescuing infant wildlife is illegal,

usually results in death for baby animals
Southern Webster County has abundant wildlife. . .

Its as predictable as August heat. From border to border, the Wildlife Baby Season has arrived in
Iowa. From May until at least mid-June, DNR field offices across the state will be inundated with hundreds of
phone calls and scores of deliveries regarding orphaned
wildlife.

Southern Webster County, with two large
wooded state parks, several campgrounds, and major
riverways has abundant forested land providing good
cover for many species of wildlife.

Most calls begin with something like, We were
walking in the park when . . ., or I looked out my window and saw. . . In nearly every instance, the scenario
ends with something [or several somethings] being rescued from their mother.

During a typical season, the species will range
all the way from baby robins and squirrels to spindlylegged white-tailed fawns. At this time of the year it is
not at all uncommon for biologists to discover that complete litters of baby raccoons, foxes, or even skunks have
mysteriously appeared on their doorsteps.

Why this happens is no real mystery. From
fuzzy yellow ducklings to tiny baby bunnies, nothing appears more cute and cuddly than a wildlife baby. But in
reality, most of the wildlife reported to DNR field offices
is not really orphaned at all. And while the people who
attempt to rescue these babies have the best of intentions, they are in fact dooming the very creatures they
intend to help.

The babies of most wildlife species leave their
nests or dens well in advance of being able to care for
themselves. Although broods or litters may become
widely scattered during this fledgling period, they still
remain under the direct care and feeding of their parents.

For many songbirds, the transition to independence comes quickly and may take as little as four or five
days. For other species such as Canada geese, kestrels,
or great horned owls, the young and parents may stay in
contact for weeks -- even months.

At the beginning of the fledgling period, young
birds appear clumsy, dull-witted, and vulnerable. The
reason for this is because they really are clumsy, dullwitted, and vulnerable. But as the education process continues, the survivors smarten up fast, while slow learners
quickly fade from the scene.

Most birds have less than a 20 percent chance of
surviving their first year. While this seems unfortunate
or cruel, this is a normal occurrence in Nature. In the real
out-of-doors, its just the way things are.

Most mammals employ a slightly different
strategy when it comes to caring for their adolescents.
Since most mammals are largely nocturnal, the mother
usually finds a safe daytime hideout for her young while
she sleeps or looks for food. Consequently, it is perfectly
normal for the young to be alone or unattended during the
daylight hours.

Nevertheless, whenever a newborn fawn or a
nest full of baby cottontails or raccoons is discovered by
a human, it quite often is assumed that the animals are
orphaned. The youngsters fate is usually sealed when it
is promptly rescued from the wild.

Many wildlife babies die soon after capture from
the stress of being handled, talked to, and placed into the
unfamiliar surroundings of a slick sided cardboard box.
Should the animal have the misfortune of surviving this
trauma, they often succumb more slowly to starvation
from improper nourishment, pneumonia, or other human
caused sicknesses.

Whether they are adults or young, all species of
wildlife have highly specific needs for survival. Rescuing a baby from its mother not only shows bad judgment, it also is illegal.

Observing wildlife in its natural habitat is always a unique privilege. Taking a good photo or two
provides an even more lasting memory. But once youve
done that, let well enough alone. Leave wildlife babies
where they belong -- in the wild.
Crib donated by Haugens . . .

This baby crib was purchased in June of 1926 by
Knute and Inga Haugen of Badger Iowa for their son, Kenneth, who was born on June 8th. It was used again for Kens
sister Lois, who was born on December 14th, 1927. The crib
was donated to the Webster County Museum by Ken Haugen.
