Saturday the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge will celebrate its sixth annual Buffalo Day.

Activities will begin at the Prairie Learning Center at 10 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. This event honors the large animals that once roamed our prairies. Area residents are invited to bring friends and family to view the herd of more than 38 buffalo and 19 elk. The first 500 visitors will receive a free buffalo nickel.

Activities will include arts and crafts, demonstrations of pottery making, flint knapping, hide scraping, hikes, storytelling, bus tours, and guest presentations. Native American flute music will entertain all ages. The Newton Jaycees will sell buffalo burgers and hot dogs. A buffalo-chip throwing contest will complete the day's activities.

The judging of the buffalo photo contest will be held at noon.

For more information call the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge at (515)994-3400 or check www.tallgrass.org. The refuge is located just south of Prairie City. To reach the Prairie Learning Center, take exit 18 off of Iowa Highway 163.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse, over...
