(Radio Iowa) – The woman who won the Iowa-based World Food Prize last fall has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Heidi Kuhn founded a non-profit called Roots of Peace in 1997. It works to remove landmines and restore ground ravaged by war so it can be used as agland. The head of a group in Azerbaijan nominated Kuhn for the Nobel Peace Price. Kuhn recently visited the country to launch a pilot project to clear an estimated one-and-a-half million landmines and revive an area where vineyards used to flourish.
Norman Borlaug, a Cresco native who was awarded the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize for his work in improving crop production and he helped found the World Food Prize 38 years ago. At last October’s World Food Prize ceremony in Des Moines, Kuhn said she intended to use the half a million dollars that came with the award to work on removing landmines in Ukraine. The 2024 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced next October.

(Atlantic, Iowa) – Fresh on the heels of last week’s 4th Ward Meet-and-Greet in Atlantic, the man who represents the Ward – Councilman Shawn Sarsfield – continues his quest to promote volunteerism in the community, and to help keep Atlantic a clean city for residents and visitors alike. Sarsfield spoke with KJAN late last week. He said during the Meet-and-greet event, about 30 people attended, including some who were not from Ward 4, who wanted to partake in the discussions that were held.
He said there was discussion with regard to the City’s 5-year Comprehensive Plan, and the steps the City needs to take in order for it to grow. The new housing program was also mentioned.
Out of the discussion, came the idea of volunteers helping those less fortunate, who cannot afford to pay for their lawn to be mowed, and other tasks we take for granted.
He says there are sign-up papers at City Hall in Atlantic, for those who are interested in volunteering for those odds jobs, to lend their hands in support of the Ward. You don’t have to be from Ward 4 to participate. Sarsfield says the feeling of helping your neighbors – even those you don’t know – is worth the experience.
He says you can volunteer when you have the time to do so. If you’re called upon to help with a task and can’t spare the time, it’s OK. You can share your time at a later date, if you like. Shawn Sarsfield says he just appreciates your willingness to volunteer as time allows. He said people stepped-up after the June 4th meeting, to offer their tools and equipment as necessary, to aid in the clean-up efforts.
He says he plans to hold another meeting this Fall, to see how volunteerism efforts are helping, and to see how the concerns mentioned at last week’s meeting, are being addressed. And, as previously reported, be on the lookout for other Atlantic City Council members to hold meetings for their respective Wards, in the weeks and months to come.
