OF THE WEEK Note from Myrna: This recipe as taught to me by a Latina friend. Use the long grain rice because short grain is sticky.

com Iverson Tree Farm has been hosting their annual Farm Fall Festival since 2019, with activities and more on the Tree Farm’s grounds each weekend throughout the season. Iverson Tree Farm was purchased by rural Belview cattle farmer Cody Nelson and his wife Mel in 2019 from former owner Ron Iverson.

In my last article, I wrote about the upcoming free fall movie event being sponsored by MAMLN (the Montevideo Area Memory Loss Network) and the Millennium Theater in Montevideo. The free movie event is scheduled for Wednesday, October 5th and they will have two show times: the first at 2 p.m. and the second at 6 p.m.

Another week closer to the white stuff covering up all the things you haven’t finished doing this fall. And, yes, it is fall now. Soon we will have the autumn holidays. Better buy candy now so you have time to get more to replace all you ate before Halloween.

If you ask local musician Charlie Roth how long he knew the local and surrounding arts community legend Jerry Ostensoe, he’ll tell you it was over 40 years, as they met around 1980. Ostensoe recently passed away from ALS. In his final hours both Roth and another arts community pillar, Malena Handeen, played live music for Ostensoe as he lie in wait. Handeen had her accordion and Roth had his guitar and they played Ostensoe’s music just hours before he’d passed on. Dave Smiglewski, the mayor of Granite Falls and one of Ostenoe’s bandmates, was also present at the bedside performance.
