The Jasper County Historical Museum is a non-profit organiza-tion that was dedicated on May 6, 1979. It is the result of the gen-erosity and desire of many Jasper County residents who wanted to preserve the history of the area for future generations.
The museum contains many interesting exhibits, from wind en-ergy to washing machines, utilizing more than 8,000 artifacts that have been donated to the society over the years.
The Jasper County Historical Museum preserves and presents the history of our industry, area agriculture, commerce and people. It’s open throughout the summer season from 1 to 5 p.m. The last tour starts at 4 p.m.
Sugar Grove Vineyard and Gathering Place is located northwest of Newton off of Interstate Highway 6.
The vineyard consists of 11 acres of French-American hybrid and Native American grapes, most of which are used by Jasper Winery in Des Moines. For both public and private events, Sugar Grove features a variety of wines from Jasper Winery, Snus Hill Winery, Summerset Winery and Tassel Ridge Winery.
Along with the grange built in the 1800s, this year, vineyard owners built a large barn on the property to host larger gatherings.
Whether a rehearsal dinner or summer con-cert, Sugar Grove Vineyard and Gathering Place is a place to relax and enjoy the Iowa’s rolling hills and scenic view.

The Maytag Dairy Farms produce the world-famous Maytag Blue Cheese. The process used to manufacture the cheese was developed at Iowa State Uni-versity and adopted by Fred Maytag II, when he took control of the dairy in 1940.
Today, each wheel of cheese is still made by hand and ages in the caves “twice as long” as most other blue cheeses.
The Maytag Dairy Farm welcomes visitors to the facilities where they can visit the cheese shop, watch an informational video and sample cheese.
The Centre for Arts & Artists is a place where people gather to inspire cre-ativitiy in one another, leases studios and organizes events to promote both the interest in and sale of works of art.
The centre offers classes in crochet, painting, ceramines, pottery, sculpting, watercolors, acrylics, oils and traditional rug hooking, providing visitors the op-portunity to try something new.
Racing fans can see the big names in rac-ing like Kurt Busch, Danica Patrick, Ricky Sten-house Jr., Elliott Sadler, Marco Andretti and Tony Kanaan right in their own backyard at the Iowa Speedway, recently purchsed by NASCAR.
The $70 million facility, which was designed by racing legend Rusty Wallace, features a 7⁄8-mile oval track where Indy cars, sprint cars and the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series will go wheel-to-wheel in racing action.
Along with racing excitement, the speedway offers entertainment from singing acts Lynyrd Skynyrd, Billy Currington and Poison in past years to this year’s appearances by bands such as The Kentucky Headhunters, Marlee Scott, Wikid Likir and The Lost Trailers.
The 2014 season features two NASCAR Na-tionwide Series 250s, two NASCAR K&N Pro Series 150s, American Ethanol 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the Iowa Corn Indy 300 IndyCar Series.

The historic Merchants National Bank, de-signed by architect Louis Sullivan in the 1900s, is a landmark of downtown Grinnell and features opulent statues at the doorway (above).
The Peppertree at the Depot Cross-ing Restaurant is located in the his-toric Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Depot.
Built in 1893, the depot was origi-nally renovated in 1996 to become a restaurant. After eating a hearty meal at The Peppertree, which boasts a new menu for 2014, visitors can cross the street to visit an operating model-train layout of “Old Grinnell.”
In the mid-19th century, Horace Greeley offered the immortal advice to Josiah B. Grinnell, “Go west, young man!” Grinnell took that to heart and settled in Iowa, founding the college that now bears his name.
The campus of this prestigious institution is renowned throughout the Midwest as an idyllic campus with significant ar-chitecture and historical buildings. At the college is the Faulcon-er Gallery (above), which offers changing exhibitions of historical and contemporary art by nationally and internationally recog-nized artists. Recent exhibits have included works by masters such as Corot and Picasso and more contemporary artists such as Mark Wagner and Diane Victor. The Gallery was the winner of the Iowa Tourism and the Arts Award in 2000.

The Iowa Transportation Museum is located in what was once the Spaulding Manufacturing Company where buggies, wagons and automobiles were built during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Vari-ous products manufactured by the company and memorabilia of the Spaulding family are on permanent display in the museum.
The primary goal of the Iowa Transportation Museum is to honor and recognize all forms of transportation and has partnered with Union Pacific Railroad to assist in telling the story of Iowa’s rich rail-road history. The museum’s goal is to enhance citizens’ understand-ing of how transportation systems and workers contribute to culture and equality of life.
This year’s featured exhibit is A Journey in Transportation, dating back 12,000 years ago when nomadic people roamed what is now Iowa. The museum is open daily May through October.
With wild buffalo and elk roaming the grounds, the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge and Prairie Learning Center offers ac-cess to scenes that greeted Iowa’s early settlers.
The refuge offers visitors an auto-tour route through the 740-acre bison/elk enclosure that also is home to native prairie grasses and flowers. The learning center serves as an informa-tional hub, featuring a visitor center with classrooms, exhibit area, theater and bookstore. Outdoor activities include birding, hunting and nature watching.
Famous for its homemade soft-serve ice cream and pork tenderloin sandwiches, Goldie’s is the place to go for great diner food in Jasper County.
Named Iowa’s Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sand-wich by the Iowa Pork Producers in 2009, the ten-derloin is made of local pork and is the most popular item on Goldie’s menu, along with the Magg Combo — a tenderloin and cheeseburger on a bun.
Ice cream flavors change from week to week, with this year’s list featuring Caramel Fudge, Strawberry Cheesecake, Georgia Peach, German Chocolate Cake and more.

This scenic Chichaqua Valley Trail runs for 20 miles between just east of Bondurant and the town of Baxter, passing through the small communities of Ira, Mingo and Valeria along the way.
The name is derived from a Native American word that early settlers mistook to mean “skunk” but actually referred to the smell of wild onions that grew along the Skunk River, which the trail crosses.
Trailhead parking with bathroom facilities are available in Baxter, Ira, Mingo and Bondurant.

While in Pella, visit Jaarsma Bakery for a delicious Dutch letter. Dutch letters were once made as a special treat for Christmas. The treats were shaped like an “S” in honor of Sinter Klaas.
The bakery, founded by Harmon Jaarsma in 1899, uses recipes handed down for generations to make the tradi-tional Dutch treats.
The Vermeer Mill and Interpretive Center was completed in 2002 and is an authentic work-ing Dutch Mill. Parts of the mill were built in Holland and then assembled in Pella by skilled craftsmen. The mill grinds wheat into flour using wind power and is the tallest work-ing windmill in the U.S.
Built in 1900, the Pella Opera House was constructed as the community’s social and cultural center and remained so until movies became popular, according to the Pella Opera House Web site.
In 1986, a group of citizens worked to renovate the opera house and it reopened in 1990. It is located at 611 Franklin St. in Pella.

Peace Tree Brewing Company is dedicated to brewing handcrafted, full-flavored beers with a great attention to quality.
The brewery began in 2009 and has grown rapidly. They now distribute across the state of Iowa, as well as Nebraska, Kansas and Minnesota.
The Peace Tree is a historic grand sycamore that was located near the town of Red Rock, under what is Lake Red Rock today. When Red Rock Dam was built in the late 1960s to create a reservoir for the Des Moines River, the Peace Tree – as much as 500 years old by this time – was left standing and has be seen rising out of the waters nobly for years since.
The tap room is open Wednesday through Sunday.
Lake Red Rock is the largest lake in Iowa. The Red Rock Dam was built to reduce flood damage along the Des Moines River. Located just off Highway T15, the Red Rock Dam offers tours by appointment for groups of 10 or more. Tours offer visitors a glimpse inside the structure and its history.
Boating, fishing, swimming, camping and hiking are among the top activities at the lake.

Halloween came a bit early for the fifth and final installment of this year’s Thunder Nites. South-
east Iowa band Rukkus (below) performed during Friday’s event, and Thunder Nites Treasurer Lib-
bie Marshall said between 600 and 1,000 motorcycles come to downtown Newton for each event.
Thunder Nites concludes
second successful year
Thunder Nites Treasurer Libbie Mar-
shall enthusiastically describes the second
series of Thunder Nites in Newton “a
huge success.”“We were very, very happy with the
turnout. It’s just getting bigger and bet-
ter all the time,” Marshall said. “We learn
things every year, so there’s probably go-
ing to be some changes, but we just ex-
pect it to get bigger and better.”
During the fifth and final Thunder Ni-
tes event of the year Friday night, Mar-
shall announced next year’s band lineup,
which will feature, in no particular or-
der, Standing Hampton, Mr. Fugly, In-
sane Jane, Small Town Superheroes and
Gimikk.

Hog confinement
hearing on Tuesday
Tuesday should be a short day of
work for the Jasper County Board of
Supervisors as only two items are list-
ed on the agenda.
County Sanitarian Kevin Luetters
will hold his second public hearing in
as many weeks on hog confinements.
This week, Gregg and Larry Pleima
are seeking to expand their operation
in Elk Creek Township from 4,000
finished market hog heads to 6,800.
Last week’s request for approval was
unanimously approved by the board
and Joe Brock expressed his gratitude
towards Judson Vos who was present.
“Sounds like you are bringing an-
other generation in and the hogs make
that a possibility,” Brock said. “I’ve
been driving around the county the
last couple of weeks... (and) I do no-
tice the farm construction, the big si-
los, the hog buildings, machine sheds.
There is a lot of building going on.”
“… Guys like you who are willing
to take the risk and make the invest-
ment and then put work into it — it’s
not easy. I just wanted to thank you,”
he continued. “You’re on the right
track, and that’s what we need in this
county.”The second item on the agenda is
a transfer order request from County
Treasurer Doug Bishop. Bishop is
seeking to transfer $88,773.06 from
the county’s general basic fund into
the secondary roads fund.

United Way kicks off 2013
fundraising campaign
United Way of Jas-
per County kicked off
its annual fall fundrais-
ing campaign Friday with
a luncheon for employee
contribution coordinators,
board members and part-
ner nonprofit organizations
at the DMACC Confer-
ence Center in Newton.
Board chairman Brad
Magg first addressed those
in attendance, thanking
them for their involvement
in United Way. He was
followed by executive di-
rector Travis Padget, who
expressed his excitement
for the year ahead.
“Last year, when I stood
here in front of you, I had
only been with United Way
for about two months, so I
still had a learning curve
ahead of me,” he said.
“The past year was very
rewarding. I’m confident
for the year ahead.”
This year’s fundrais-
ing campaign has a goal
of $363,000, which is a
10-percent increase over
last year’s fundraising to-
tal. The $330,000 raised
last year constituted a
10-percent increase over
2011 fundraising levels.
Padget said he’d love to
reach $400,000, though.
“At that level, we would
be close enough that
we could fund all of our
partner organizations’ re-
quests,” he said. “Anyone
who has sat in on those
meetings knows, it’s really
hard to say, ‘We’re going
to give you 50 percent of
what you need, but we re-
ally want you to continue
that program.’”
Local law enforcement
agencies involved in
stand-off over weekend
According to the Jasper County
Sheriff ’s Office, multiple local law
enforcement agencies were involved
in a stand-off that started early Sat-
urday morning with a man who was
threatening suicide and in possession
of a handgun.The incident took place at a resi-
dence on Highway F36 West, and

With spirit week ahead, things
are about to get lively in Prairie City
and Monroe as the communities and
schools gear up to celebrate homecom-
ing.Each day of the week will bring a
different dress-up theme for students at
the high school.
Monday will be generation day, in
which students are able to dress up
as members of different generations.
Tuesday is class color, Wednesday is
twin day, Thursday is the crowd-favor-
ite costume day and Friday is spirit
day.“We release for a few hours on
Thursday to do the street painting,”
said high school principal Scott
Bridges. The painting of the road to
the school is an annual tradition, and
one that the kids get excited for.
“We want to get people pumped for
the school,” Bridges said.
7 p.m. Thursday night is “Spirit
Night” at the high school. According
to organizer and teacher Tara Wil-
liams, spirit night includes the coro-
nation ceremony in which the king
and queen will be announced, perfor-
mances by the dance and cheerleading
squads, class skits and a speech by
Coach Bonnett to get the students and
community pumped up.
The assembly festivities will be
followed up by a powder puff football
tournament. The senior girls will face
off against the freshmen, and the ju-
niors against the sophomores before
the winning teams square off.
“The community is proud of our
school and all of our students,” or-
ganizer and teacher Sam Pohl said.
“Homecoming is a special time for all
of us to support the district and show
our school spirit.”
The school will be shortened Friday,
with students dismissed to take part
in the parade at 1:30 p.m. in Mon-
roe. A pep rally follows on the town
square. The evening’s game against
Albia will be followed by the home-
coming dance in Monroe.
The Prairie City farmer’s
market has come to a close
for the year, and organizers
are examining lessons learned
and how to approach the event
in the future.
The weekly market, held
on Saturdays from 8:30 until
11:30, was originally planned
to run through Oct. 12, but
due to the alternative obliga-
tions of several vendors, it
was decided to coincide the
final farmers market with the
city-wide garage sale days.
“We think in the future that
we’re going to start it on the
spring garage sale day and run
it through to the fall garage
sale day,” Sheryl Kain, market
manager for the Prairie City
farmer’s market said.
The number of vendors
fluctuated throughout the sea-
son depending on what was in
season at the time, and how
many people turned out for
the event.“The vendors seemed hap-
py with the turnout … We
had larger participation as
first, but we hope to get more
people coming all through the
season” Kain said.
Many members of the
crowd were faithful attendees,
coming out each and every
week to see what some of their
favorite community farmers
had in stock, and Kain hopes
to see more of that loyalty in
the future.“We were averaging 50 to
80 participants,” Kain said.
“I’d like to see a larger per-
centage of the town showing
up.”She explained that more at-
tendees means more vendors,

Boy Scout Troop 346, a troop com-
prising boys from Mingo, Ira, Baxter,
Colfax and Newton, came together
over the weekend to camp out, have
a good time and raise funds for their
troop.The scouts camped from Friday
night through Sunday just ouside of
the Ira community center, making use
of the large covered patio to do their
cooking and socializing.While the boys camped, tractors be-
gan to filter into Ira from the surround-
ing countryside. From recent models to
designs from the 1920’s and from John
Deere to backyard constructions, ev-
erything was represented in the roughly
30 tractors that came out for the show.
Each tractor owner paid a registra-
tion fee of $20, which entered him or
her into the show, as well as providing
a meal at the Saturday night pork chop
dinner. It also secured each owner a
spot on Sunday morning’s tractor ride
across the countryside.The countryside route took the

The festival, which will run from Sept.
26 through 29, will feature a number
of events from the classic car show
and the grand parade to a barbecue and
chili contest as well as a motorcycle
rodeo.The marching band will take part in
the grand parade, which will follow a
carnival theme this year.Cindy Brodin, the board member re-
sponsible for the parade, said that she
already has over 100 float entries and 9
bands and she expects to get roughly 20
more entries before registration closes.
Gates for the parade will open at 8:30
a.m., floats will be in place by 9:30 and
the parade will kick off at 10:00 a.m.
Brodin said that the parade usu-
