We just had to ask.....Virginia Holsten
This week’s guest on Vinton Today’s “We Just Had to Ask” is Vinton Librarian Virginia Holsten, who has been working at the local library for a quarter-century. We thank Virginia for giving us a chance to ignore the serious issues facing our city and country for just a moment and letting us think about a few fun facts about her life.

Everybody’s Irish on St. Paddy’s Day !
Residents of Virginia Gay Nursing and Rehab were treated to their choice of green beer, punch, coffee and cupcakes during the St. Patrick’s Day celebration on March 17. Judy Mehlert tickled the ivory while Elmer and Beverly Stein from Dysart tore up the dance floor.

We just had to ask…..
………….VS Superintendent Mary Jo Hainstock
Welcome to a new feature at Vinton Today, where we think about all of the serious issues facing our city, schools, state and country, and for a few very precious moments, virtually ignore them all.
Our first guest on "We Just Had to Ask" is Vinton-Shellsburg Superintendent Mary Jo Hainstock.
Hibbs do not let handicaps deter them from enjoying wildlife
Once a year or more, someone offers Mike Hibbs a deal in case he decides to sell his land in rural Vinton
He always says no.
Hibbs bought the place to keep it in its natural condition, as well as for he and his wife, Carolyn to enjoy. He even lets a few other people use the place for camping, fishing and mushroom hunting.
Hibbs property has much of what other places along the Cedar River offer: Remote land where there are few signs of civilization, wildlife, peace and quiet, just to name a few. New Scouts go camping for the first time!
Each February the WEBLOS scouts of Pack 47 “cross over” to Troop 47 and are welcomed as the newest patrol – The Dragons. Troop 47 camps each and every month with the exception of their annual ski trip in February. March brings the first campout for the troop’s newest scouts, as it did on March 13th-14th.

“The US Cellular coverage area has gone global, and they didn’t have to construct a tower, launch a satellite or open up stores across seas. Talk about a ripple effect…” said Central Lutheran School Principal Jan Doellinger.
The principal was announcing the fact that the school’s students had chosen to share 10 percent of their U. Area leaders speak to Faith Baptist Church congregation during 'Friend Day'
