What a great week! From the July 3rd Cruise Night and Lennox Street Dance to the Firecracker Road Race, Old Fashioned Fourth Parade and Arts in the Park, the Munici-pal Band Concert and fi reworks display to the Community Worship Service in the Park, Lennox had a wonderful week. The weather was perfect and crowds came to Lennox by the thousands, causing many to believe that record numbers enjoyed the festivities.
While classic cars and new cruised the streets of Len-nox, Ledfoot Lucy warmed up the crowds at the street dance for Judd Hoos, the headliner for the July 3rd event. Lennox Commercial Club member and one of the organizers of the street dance, Eric Machmuller said it was a wonderful turn-out for the street dance. The committee will be getting the fi nal fi gures together this week, but expect to have a substan-tial amount to be able to contribute towards a community project.
Mayor Orville Wiebers said the two events seemed to coincide very well. “I talked to people who came for cruise night and stayed for the dance and also people that came for the dance and enjoyed cruise night,” he said.
July 4th began with the Firecracker Road Race, sponsored by the Lennox Lions and Lennox Community Fund commit-tee. Nearly 400 athletes, of all ages, participated in the race. Results of the race can be found on page 10.
The parade came next. Parade participants enjoyed seeing crowds along the entire parade route, saying it was like en-tering a tunnel of people. The parade was well planned with the Lennox Volunteer Firemen organizing the parade and Verlyn Schmidt emceeing on the corner of Third and Main.
Crowds then entered the park and enjoyed food and arts and craft vendors. For those braving the heights, there was even the chance to view the city from a helicopter.
Towards evening, folks enjoyed a performance of the Lennox Municipal Band, in its 130th year of performances.
The park stayed full for the climax of the evening, the 4th of July fi reworks display. At the end of the show, a fi reworks misfi red, knocking down a man from the pyrotechnics com-pany. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.
On Saturday, Lennox fi remen continued the weekend fun with a waterfi ght, pitting area fi re departments against each other. Local fi refi ghter Scott Timmerman came out as the top winner for the day. Even the kids were able to try their hand at competing in the water games. With the hot sunny day, no one complained about getting wet!
On Sunday, a good crowd gathered for the Community Worship in the Park, led by the Lennox Area Ministerial As-sociation. Following the service, the community enjoyed the beautiful day with a catered picnic.
SUN & FUN IN LENNOX
Lennox City Council mem-bers on Monday night took ac-tion regarding the old football field property, located to the south of the softball diamonds at Westerman Park.
Tracy West made the motion to “bring forth legal proceed-ings to enforce our mutual use agreement for an affirmative injunction granting access pursu-ant to the mutual agreement and for proceedings to acquire said property at fair market value.”
All of the council voted in
favor of the motion, with the exception of Greg Poppenga, who abstained. Poppenga had no comment on his decision to abstain.
The City has expressed their interest in owning this property to extend the park for several years. However, Lennox School District recently sold the prop-erty, along with the old adminis-tration building, to Lennox Prop-erties, L.L.C., the only bidder on the property. The City had a “fi rst right of refusal” on the property
and were advised by their legal counsel that the bid was invalid. City lawyers met with Lennox Properties, L.L.C. lawyers, but were unable to come to an agree-ment that was acceptable to both parties.
The City of Lennox had a use agreement with the school that would allow them to use the property in exchange for main-taining it until 2020. The School District informed the buyer that the use agreement was tied to the property.
In a letter to this newspaper last week, the President of Len-nox Properties, L.L.C., Gene Kuper, informed readers that until the City agreed to an open meeting, he was posting notifi ca-tion that the old football fi eld was now private property and asked the public to regard it as such.
With the City’s action on Monday night, it appears that the use and ownership of the property will be decided by the courts.

Council votes to proceed with legal action on old football field property Lennox City Council began
Monday night’s meeting with an executive session. The regu-lar meeting began about 7:05. After approving the agenda, minutes of June 10, claims, and payroll report a public hearing on zoning regulation 12.10(C) was held.
The proposed ordinance amended the Site-Built Sin-gle-Family and Multi-Family Dwelling Standards, stating that roofi ng materials shall be wood shingle or shake, compo-sition, asphalt laminate, clay or metal.
Planning Commission mem-
bers in attendance informed the council that they were not in fa-vor of the change.
Glenn Nelson made the mo-tion to leave the ordinance as it is, not allowing exposed fas-tener metal in residential areas.
Discussion revolved around fi re safety issues and the proper installation of metal material on roofs.
The motion to keep the ordi-nance as it is was passed by a vote of 4 to 3, with the Mayor casting the deciding vote.

Looking Back

I’m back in the house after only 20 minutes outside this morning because it is raining
again. What a difference a year makes! We were gone camping for 3 days and when we came back and looked at the garden, it looked like we had been gone for a week or more. The growth rate this time of year can be amazing at times. Perhaps now is a good time to remind you that an al-most daily check of the garden is important if you can manage that.
If you have started your fi rst garden or are using tomato cages for the fi rst time, you will fi nd out that almost every other day you need to be out there “training” the tomato vines to go the direction you want. Work carefully so as not to break any of those vines as you work them upward thought the cages.
On your walk be watching for bugs. We have to watch for the little green/black striped bug called the cucumber beetles this time of year. They love our zucchini, cucumbers and pumpkin crops. If this is your problem too, you will need to fi nd a remedy, a spray or dust-ing powder works if you don’t mind putting them on. The problem this year is following through with reapplication after every rain because they will wash off obviously and those bugs know that so be vigilant.
Need we talk about weeds? Oh my! This is probably one of the most frustrating prob-lems for many people. Might I encourage you to tackle them as soon as possible. Little weeds—little problems, big weeds—big problems, get them pulled as quickly as you can before your produce gets lost in a frustrating jungle and you want to give up. Another prob-lem with letting things slide is that the weeds will produce seeds making problems down the road so get at it! We around here are obviously NOT weed free, and the problem only gets worse when we open the stand and more time needs to
be spent helping our custom-ers, but we know that we have to keep at it or we will loose production power for our plants and add to the weed seed bank beneath our feet. That weed-
ing will provide your ex-ercise and perhaps even help you take out some frustrations of the day on your weeds.
If you mulched, be watching for too much mulch under your plants too close to the stem. Mold may be growing there so hope-fully you used the tip I gave you and didn’t get the mulch too close to the stem. With all the rain, mold will grow almost anywhere in the lush plant growth, so be watching that department. I have been know to rip out a hand full of leaves in my tomato plants just to get air movement inside the plants to stop mold. Also be watching grape vines, this is another spot in high humidity years that can be a problem for mold. You may need fungicides on some of your plants, again read labels on any product you choose to use.
Back to the weeds, I seemed to have provided some en-tertainment last week when I chose to take a lawn chair into the garden to sit down as I weeded a very weedy row of dill. This is a fi rst for me, weeding while sitting in a chair, but I fi gured, I’m the boss here so if I need to weed sitting down, so be it. Hey, why don’t you try it? It is working for me with the very fi ne work I was doing. So what if people think you have lost all your marbles—again—and are look-ing for them. My unorthodox method is working for me, my back was happier and my job is almost done in that row.
It has stopped raining. Maybe I can fi nd some kind of job outside so I can avoid the housework inside. For me being outside is much more fulfi lling this time of year. Sharpen that hoe, check your plants and keep at it!
Have you ever experienced a twinge of resent-ment or even
paranoia upon reading or hear-ing some “news” report. This is probably not a healthy reaction but it is under-standable.
We must admit that we had such feelings upon reading the story in the Sunday Argus entitled “Think-ing Big in Small Towns.” Strange, we thought, that the reporter chose seven towns in the Sioux Falls orbit to feature in the article but did not even mention some other communities located only minutes away from the big city. Among the missing was Len-nox, as well as Worthing and other nearby towns.
Upon refl ection, we realize that one should not become
paranoid in such cases but we cannot help but wonder why our town and its accomplish-ments fail to attract the atten-tion of the Sioux Falls media.
Is it some-thing we have or haven’t done to be ignored (or so it seems)? Would it help to have a full-blown scandal in our town so the Sioux Falls media become aware of where Lennox is located?
Last week Lennox held its 30th annual “Old Fashioned 4th of July” which attracted thousands of people. The parade route was crowded with out-of-town visitors, and the fi reworks and other activities drew very large crowds.
Perhaps we should not have been surprised, as we watched
the July 3rd evening news on a Sioux Falls TV station, to learn that Lennox was omit-ted from their listing of all the area towns having public fi reworks displays. Well, it takes a while to get the word out, and perhaps 30 years isn’t long enough.
Regarding our town’s efforts in recent years to sustain our growth and progress, most of these, we fear, have gone un-noticed and unreported by the big city media. Our industrial and general growth has been considerable but only our local newspaper has publicized this progress. For this reporting we are grateful.
Perhaps we, as a commu-nity, have failed to blow our own horn, not taking advantage of opportunities to have our story told outside our commu-nity. Just a few things we can and should boast of include our school system and libraries, improving infrastructure, recre-ational facilities and opportuni-ties, our churches, industrial growth, and our heritage as
exemplifi ed by the state’s old-est continuous musical organi-zation—the Lennox Municipal Band.
Knowing that complaining about being ignored isn’t going to result in anything positive, we, as a community, had best concentrate on blowing our own horn, just like our band has been doing for 130 years. Somehow we must get our story out and prove that we are worthy of at least a passing mention from time to time.
Just in case any member of the Sioux Falls media reads this column, we wish to inform them here and now that Lennox will likely stage its 31st Old Fashioned 4th of July next year, and they are all invited to help us celebrate. In the mean-time, our city offi cials, com-munity leaders and scores of Lennox citizens will continue their efforts to make our com-munity a better place to live and grow.
Thought you’d like to know that.

Looking Back in the fi les of The Lennox Indepen-dent for July 11th:
10 years ago, 2003The Lennox Fourth of July was

Lennox Lions, Marie Klingbile and Rhoda Strasser were among over 12,000 delegates who at-tended the Lions International con-vention in Denver, Colorado.
25 years ago, 1988Greg Musch, Lennox Commer-
cial Club President, congratulated Fred Oltmanns, Bill Randel, and Ella Knowlton who were the winners in the 4th of July fi reworks fund draw-ing.
In another contest held on the 4th; John Kuiper was 1st place winner of the beautiful baby contest with A.J. Fodness second.
Winning fi rst place in the ugly boss contest was Joel Klusmann, Tony Groebner was second and Bob Kramer was third.
50 years ago, 1963Mrs. Anton Oltmanns and three
children went to Omaha by plane last Wednesday and from there to Ne-braska City, Nebr. where they spent
a few days in the Rev. Samuel Hofer home. They returned Sunday by plane accompanied by Chris and Paul Hofer who are spending the week with their grandmother, Mrs. Johanna Jibben.
Airman 2nd class and Mrs. Wendall H. Kock are spending a 30 day leave in their parental homes.

The auction sale of the Quigley farm took place and brought the price of $108.00 per acre.
A letter from Prof. Stephen Brethorst, who is attending summer school at the University of Madison, Wis., states that he is hard at work and enjoying himself.
While at Chancellor last week , we found Claus Highstreet busy fi xing autos at his garage. From appearance he seems to have all the work he can handle and as a result is busy from early morn till late at night.
Thank youLennox holds beautiful baby, ugly boss contests
Another July 4th celebration in Lennox has come and gone and it seems safe to say that good times were had by all. For that, much appreciation is due to many people.
Cruise night on Wednesday was amazing. It was well attended by drivers (vehicles) and spectators. Making a whip as in years past took much longer as traffi c was nearly
bumper to bumper.The street dance was a grand success with nearly 1200 in attendance. We were sorry to have missed
Ledfoot Lucy but heard good things about them. The Judd Hoos kept the crowd entertained from 9 to 1. According to the online pictures and listening to those in attendance everyone had a good time. Thanks to the Lennox Commercial Club and the street dance committee for all your planning and hard work.
Heading down Main Street was a little like entering a tunnel of people as one of the largest crowds ever enjoyed our great 4th of July parade. We enjoyed ‘riding’ in the parade after working the dance on our feet the night before. Thanks to our family who joined us in the parade, even our new, 10 day old, grandson. Thank you to our volunteer fi re department for organizing the parade and all those who participated and shared treats.
Two daughters and a granddaughter decided on the way to the park to take a helicopter ride. They all enjoyed the ride and made great memories for our granddaughter who was celebrating her 21st birthday. The ice cream stands were enjoyed by all of us.
The band sounded wonderful as usual and the fi reworks were awesome. It was hard to end such a wonderful celebration of our freedom with an injury. We are glad to hear that the injuries were not severe.
Sunday morning was the community worship in the park followed by a delicious chicken dinner with every kind of pie imaginable. Thanks to those who helped to make these events go smoothly as well.
In closing, thanks everyone for making Lennox a great place to spend the 4th of July.Sincerely,
Mayor Orville and Corliss Wiebers

■ LENNOX COUNCIL, from page 1[the ordinance] and put in
language in how [metal roofs have] to be installed. That’s where I’m at with it,” concluded Orville Wiebers.
Under public speaking, Rich Schriever asked if the Mayor was intending to appoint city council members to the Plan-ning Commission. Wiebers in-dicated he would do that at the next meeting.
Wayne Peterson commented about the July 4th celebrations. “It was hard work and it was a huge success,” he said. “The whole community is to be com-mended for it.”
Councilman Tracy West agreed, saying “The dance went beautifully… the Commercial Club did a great job of organiz-ing that.”
Another resident asked if Blaine St. was going to be grad-ed and a dust cover applied.
Public Works Director Greg Stack explained that when the 4th Ave. project was complete, they would blade the adjacent streets and apply dust control.
Under old business: • The council approved
bringing legal proceedings to affi rm the use agreement on the old football fi eld and to proceed to acquire the property at fair market value.
• Regarding the 4th Ave. utility improvements, Mayor Wiebers asked City Engineer Mitch Mergen to clarify the plans for that project.
Mergen explained that in 2011 the engineers were di-rected by the city administra-tor to get the project together so they could be on the state’s water plan. The area had 1935 cast iron pipe in fi ve blocks. The City received funding for the project, with half of the loan to be forgiven (basically a grant). They evaluated what else could be done, and found dur-ing a drainage study that there was not adequate storm sewer there, sanitary sewer needed to be replaced and it needed to be started further down stream. So the project was put out just as a water main project and bid that way. While they talked about not doing the asphalt, they did bid the project with asphalt, knowing the potential was to take the asphalt out.
It was decided to let the ground sit a year and then do the asphalt. Most homeowners were in agreement with that, Mitch added. Where curb and gutter was taken out, it will be replaced.
The project has been delayed due to a gas main that needed to be relocated, but Mergen ex-pected that they should be done by the end of next week.
Mergen admitted that there have been some troubles with the contractor on the project, saying that he believes that has been due to inexperienced workers. He assured the coun-cil that they have been watched closely and have been directed to go back and fi x things when necessary. This has added about $12,000 in engineering costs to the project.
Glenn Nelson reminded the council that they had to take the bid from Winters Brothers be-cause they were the low bidders, even though the council was made aware they could have these problems. But the bid was $50,000 lower than the next bidders, which would allow for some extra costs and still make them the low bidders.
“I don’t want to give you the wrong impression,” said Mer-gen. “Everything will be fi n-ished according to specs.”
A landowner at the meeting expressed concern about con-tractors digging on his property. Stack said the digging was on property owned by City. When the landowner disputed that, Stack was instructed to survey the City land to be sure of own-ership.
Discussion on the City ac-cepting credit cards was delayed because David Schonhardt, the business manager was absent from the meeting due to illness. West asked for the council’s permission to allow his fi nance committee to iron out details on accepting credit cards. The council agreed.
The railroad addition and the four lots the city is considering selling was the next item of dis-cussion.
Council meeting fi lled with discussion on various city issuesPaul Jacobson, a member of
the Planning Commission, said he had been approached by sev-eral people who felt that the city was spending more on survey-ing and engineering the property than what it was worth. There were concerns about building an expensive street that very few people will use, Jacobson said. People have told him that if city was gong to lose money on this, they could just as well keep it and use as park.
The Mayor said he has re-ceived some of those same com-ments.
Tracy West reminded the council that they sought the opinion of professionals and the engineer recommended the street for utilities—water, sewer, storm sewer.
“When it comes for paying for that street, you would still as-sess to property owners,” added Mergen.
Wiebers said the problem was with the 700 feet on the south side. It was unclear whether they would be able to assess the rail-road for the costs of a street and curb and gutter.
Stack said that while the rail-road land is considered tax-ex-empt, he wasn’t sure if assessing them for a street was possible. He has contacted an expert with the DOT for information, but has not yet heard back.
After much discussion on the merits of selling the lots and put-ting in a street, councilman Da-rin Olson became frustrated and remarked, “You do what you al-ways do and you get what you always get. Can you speak for everyone? You can’t tell me that some people wouldn’t like curb and gutter. You keep doing this, nothing is going to get done. Somewhere along the line, you have to move forward.”
Marlyn Jacobson responded, “People wonder, why do you want to start there?” He empha-sized other areas in the city that needed curb and gutter, specifi -cally in his own neighborhood.
Jacobson was informed that if there was a problem with curb and gutter on his street, he should start a petition to have it installed.
A motion to table the deci-sion on the railroad property un-til next meeting passed.
Speaking on behalf of Dennis Weeldreyer, the city’s Lewis & Clark representative, Stack told the council that Lewis & Clark was not getting the money from the federal government that it was promised years ago. Presi-dent Obama has put in $3.2 mil-lion for L&C, which will not get much built.
Stack related that some of the outlaying communities, who have already paid their share of Lewis & Clark, are in dire need of water, specifi cally Luverne and Worthington.
At the last L&C meeting the board discussed authorizing a Capital Call, asking members to contribute to get the section in Minnesota to Luverne done. Lennox’s share would be ap-proximately $290,000. It would not have to be paid all up front, explained Stack. He added that there were a number of ways to approach this funding.
“It’s not a matter of IF you want to do it; you are bound by this agreement,” emphasized Stack. He suggested they dis-cuss it in the street, water, sewer committee.
“My opinion, it’s not going to be as bad as what you might think,” added Stack.
West wanted to know what it was going to cost the City’s taxpayers. “Our water rates are high, our mil levy is high,” he said.
Stack said what the city would have to pay would be de-pendent upon what the Federal Government paid.
Stack also talked about the City’s plan to make a policy on a General Assessment, identifying a number for general assessment for streets, curb and gutter and sidewalk. He indicated that the City Attorney Brett Lovrein was of the opinion that it would be diffi cult to do. Stack asked him to come to the next meeting to address the subject.
“If you want to go ahead with this direction, we would like to go ahead and have this before the next construction season,” continued Stack.
Mergen said that the City of Hartford has had a similar policy in place since 2002.
“I’ve been getting positive reactions from homeowners in doing this policy,” he added.
The next order of business was to approve the licenses for the four mobile home parks.
Glenn Nelson recommended that Court Ave., a city street, also be surveyed.
A replat of the Meadows was approved as recommended by the Planning Commission.
Pool discounts were dis-cussed for children whose par-ents are on assistance. After discussing privacy issues, the council approved free passes to those who come in to City Hall with the paperwork to show they are on assistance.

the event.

Roger Almond presented the council with plans for new signs for the City. A committee has selected the design from Randy Williamson that will include masonry work by Meyer Con-struction. The total cost of the installed sign, with solar light-ing, is estimated to be approxi-mately $21,000. The Economic Development Association has been given a grant from Xcel Energy for a portion of the sign.
The rest of the cost is expected to be split between the LADC, the Commercial Club, and the City. The council approved $5,300 for the sign.
G. Nelson read a column by Verlyn Hofer that ran in The Lennox Independent. The col-umn discussed sidewalks.
“What a great article by this gentleman,” said Nelson.
Nelson reminded the council that the city has ordinances in place that require people to keep their sidewalks in good repair. He would also like more people to install sidewalks throughout
the city.Nelson also brought up a
problem with water standing in streets due to sump pumps. He believes that is ruining the streets and would like to see people run sump pumps on their lawns. The Mayor disagreed, saying his home would have been fl ooded had he pumped water onto his lawn. Water Su-perintendent Almond said that the water committee needs to talk about it and come up with some guidelines.
The meeting ended with committee reports.

He also worked part-time as a Transport Officer for the Federal Marshall’s Offi ce. Mike had dedicated nearly 26 years to law enforcement.
He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, Fraternal Or-der of Police and the Deputies Association. In 2011, Mike was the recipient of the Cecil-Fischer Law Enforcement Offi cer of the Year Award from the Fraternal Order of Police. He also do-nated his time to the Annual Law Enforcement Special Olympics Torch Run and Polar Plunge to
raise money for children with special needs. He also served as a Confi rmation Mentor at his church.
In addition to law enforce-ment, he also very much enjoyed driving limos for Stellar Limou-sine in Sioux Falls. He loved helping people celebrate those special times in their lives and creating special memories.
Mike’s hobbies included be-ing an avid Dallas Cowboys fan, a fan of Nebraska Cornhuskers football and North Carolina Tar Heels basketball, fi shing with his Dad, any activity that involved his boys and restoring old cars with his Dad. He was a great advocate for Ford vehicles. A special memory for Mike was attending the annual Barrett-Jackson Car Show and Auction in January of 2013 with his Dad and brothers.
Mike devoted his time and love to Kim and their boys, Bran-don and Kaleb. They enjoyed many special camping trips and vacations together as a family, along with an annual trip to a Minnesota Twins game. Mike and Kim enjoyed watching their boys participate in all sports and school activities.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Jeff Joffer, his grand-parents, Clarence and Elizabeth Joffer and Ben and Emma Ost-hus, and his father-in-law, Harlan (Stretch) Wolthuis.
Those most grateful for hav-ing shared his life are his wife, Kim; his two sons, Brandon and Kaleb; his parents, Earl and Shirley Joffer of Parker; his siblings, Kevin (Cindy) Joffer of Elk Point, Mark (Lisa) Joffer of Parker, Sherry (Doug) DeNeui of Chancellor and Brent Joffer of Brookings; his mother-in-law, Bonnie Wolthuis of Tea; sister-in-law, Kathy (Kevin) Tyler of DuBois, PA; brothers-in-law, Todd Wolthuis of Tea and Terry (Kelly) Wolthuis of Rapid City; plus many nieces, nephews and great friends.
We have a lot of things go-ing on at the Center in July,
which is a good thing as July is ANTI-BORE-DOM month! It is so easy to sit at home and get depressed and bored, so get out of your chair, head to the Center and see if you can get involved.
Today,Thursday the 11th, is popcorn and movie afternoon at the Center. The movie starts at 1:00 so be sure to come down for a fun afternoon.
We have a limited number of tickets to go to the Blackwood Brothers Quartet concert that will be at the Washington Pavil-ion on the 19th of July. There is a sign up sheet at the Center
and you need to get signed up very soon. Plans are to go for supper before the Concert so it will be a great night of food and
music. The bowl-
ers didn’t get too worn out on the 4th as they were
in great shape on Friday. Arley Peck took 1st with 221, Dena Bruns was 2nd with a 204 and Marie Klingbile 3rd with a 187. Progressive winners were Ed Ulfers with a score of 608 and 5 strikes. Arley was 2nd with a 468 and Tony Groebner was 3rd with a 442.
Next Tuesday, the 16th, is the night for potluck supper and program. Margaret Charleton and Deb Hoercher are the serv-ers this month. The program will be a video entitled “Name
on the Wall” and some other entertainment.
Wednesday is “Bring a Friend to Lunch” day. Bring a friend with you and you will both have a chance to win a free meal.
Thursday night, the 18th, will be the ice cream social at the band concert. The concert runs from 7:30 - 9:00. Come on out for a great nice of ice cream and music.
Researchers in the UK have looked at some common habits that affect our long term health. Some of the things that add years are: drinking 2 -3 cups of coffee a day adds .9 years, eating 5 + servings of produce a day adds 2.7 years, exercis-ing 20 minutes a day adds 1.9 years, exercising an additional 40 minutes a day adds .5 years
and having 1 alcoholic drink each day adds .9 years for a total of 6.9 years. Now if you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day you subtract 7.3 years, if you eat meat every day you subtract 1.2 years, if you are 11 lbs. overweight you subtract .9 years, watch 2 hrs. of TV daily you lose .8 years and have more than 1 drink a day, you lose 1.1 years for a total years lost of 11.3. Its an interesting study but gives us some things to think about.
Belated Happy Birthdays to Orwin Fodness, Helen Olt-manns, Roy Abbas, Bob Spen-cer. Happy Birthday this week to Marian Beach, Vera Fritz, Dorothy Drowden and Carolyn Randel.
Class of 1971 celebrate Fourth together
Several classmates of the Class of 1971 (pictured above) gathered during the week of July 4th, 2013 to fi nalize their Senior graduation party of 1971 that ended abruptly ... and to celebrate their 60th birth-days! They had three convertibles in the Lennox 4th of July parade that sported some clever posters about the class of 1971.
On Saturday, July 6, several of them dusted off their golf clubs and played a scramble round of golf with Team 2 winning the big prize - of bragging rights! Then at 4:00 p.m. the group gathered at the Jim and Jane Jibben farm to continue the “Senior Party” with great fun, entertainment, food and beverages. A great time was had by all.

CLIMBING CHAOSClimbing Chaos is a retro arcade game where the only way to go
is up. You enter the room through some sort of strange cage. You’ll exit the room in an identical looking cage. The problem is how you’re going to get to that cage without being burned alive by the lava that’s fl ooding the room.
Each level that you complete will give you a star rating. There are also stars that you can collect during the level. You can use these stars to unlock new worlds to explore. Operating System: iPad, iPhone Cost: Free
Based on true events and laced with wry humor, ‘Still Mine’ tells the heartfelt tale of Craig Morrison (Academy Award nominee James Cromwell), who comes up against the system when he sets out to build a more suitable house for his ailing wife Irene (Academy Award nominee Genevieve Bujold). He quickly gets blindsided by building codes and bureaucratic officials. As Irene becomes increasingly ill, Craig races to fi nish the house and avoid jail time.Release Date: July 12

FBI Agent John O’Hara is deep into solving the case, while Special Agent Sarah Brubaker is hunting another ingenious serial killer, whose victims all have one chilling thing in common.
As wedding hysteria rises to a frightening new level, John and Sarah work ever more closely together in a frantic attempt to decipher the logic behind two rampages.

How to beat the mid-summer ‘I’m Bored’ bluesBY KELLI BULTENA
I’ll be honest, I don’t have it. But I hear that is something that espe-cially our young people
get — the “I’m Bored — What should I do” syndrome that hits mid-summer. I hear it from my eight year old and I begin to ramble off a list of things she could pick from to do. Typically this works. Finding what your child is in the mood for is the key.
In the past, when my kids were younger I made an “I’m Bored” jar. I printed off a list of 100 things to do and cut those into strips of paper, put them in an old coffee jar and anytime the words were uttered, I simple said, “Go pick something!” With just one girl — it’s easier for me to list ideas: paint nails, play babies, look for snakes, go swimming, etc. But if you really want to plan out some things for those days or weekends when the
kids are just sick of everything, here are a few new ideas.
Make homemade bubbles! Recipe: Pour 1/2 cup dish soap into the cup. Add 1 1/2 cups water to the cup. Measure 2 tea-spoons of sugar into the water/soap mixture. Gently stir your mixture. Go outside and blow bubbles!
Tips: Don’t shake or stir your bubbles too much. Store your bubbles in a tightly sealed con-tainer. Experiment with blowing bubbles using different items! I saw a great idea for a container on pinterest — it was one of the large laundry detergents with the push button pour spout. This one was decorated as a “bubble refi ll station.”
Now for those of you who want an involved, slightly gross, maybe messy — sure to be inter-esting project — this one is for you! I have not attempted, so I can’t guarantee the outcome.
Make a Worm FarmMaterials needed:2 old bucketsDirtGarden worms1 cup dry-meal dog foodDirections:To prepare the bucket, make
plenty of small drainage holes on the sides and bottoms with a hammer and a thin nail.
Fill the buckets with rich garden soil, add the dog food, and mix well.
Sprinkle water on the soil until it is moist but not soggy.
Now go digging in your yard or compost pile to fi nd twenty-fi ve worms.
Put them on top of the soil fi lled buckets and watch them burrow out of sight.
Stand the bucket on bricks in a pan full of water to keep the ants from eating the worms.
Start a crop of worms in the second bucket after a month to give you a steady supply.
Check your worm farm once a week to see if it is still moist. Too much water is worse than too little.
Every three weeks, dump the top fi ve inches of dirt out and mix it with a half cup of dog food.
Dump the rest of the dirt out, put the dirt with the dog food in the bottom of the bucket, and pile the rest of the dirt back in.
This is a good time to check how your farm is growing. You should have hundreds of worms in twelve weeks.
I found this unique idea on the FamilyEducation website: http://fun.familyeducation.com/activity/insects/39475.html#ixzz2YZ3WXklv
Entertainment is found in many ways. Send me your great ideas to include in another sum-mer fun column by email at [email protected] or stop by the offi ce at 116 S. Main St., Lennox.
