(Spencer)– A well known and highly respected businessman in Spencer and the Iowa Great Lakes Area has passed away.

Toby Shine joined Shine Brothers full time in 1960. He later went on to start up a wire cutting and auto shredding business in Spencer in the mid 1980’s, serving as owner and President of the company. Shine was also very active in the Spencer and Iowa Great Lakes communities. He developed the Pelican Ridge housing development on the east side of Arnolds Park and later went on to build and operate a vintage car restoration business and museum just off Highway 86 in West Okoboji. Shine was also known for his involvement in philanthropy and played a major role with the Iowa Lakes Corridor Development Corporation’s Okoboji Entrepreneurial Institute.

Funeral arrangements for Toby Shine are pending with Warner Funeral Home in Spencer.

The longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history ended late Thursday, Nov. 12, and many Iowans who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are wondering when they will receive their next payments.

Amid the shutdown, the Trump administration paused SNAP payments on Nov. 1 for approximately 12% of Americans, or 41.7 million people, who rely on cash cards known as Electronic Benefits Transfer to purchase food. States then sued the administration, sparking a back-and-forth in courts before eventually reaching the Supreme Court.

Here’s the latest on SNAP benefits resuming with the government reopening.

When will November SNAP benefits be available in Iowa?

“Benefits are being loaded onto cards now and could be available later today, Thursday, Nov. 13,” according to Iowa HHS’ website. “Iowa HHS anticipates that all SNAP benefits will be issued by Friday, Nov. 14.”
