44 say goodbye to 37 percent of life
By Pat Racette
Congratulations 2014.
Born in 1995 or ‘96 for the most part,
44 students graduated from North Butler Sunday.
Co-valedictorian Lisa Feldman calculated that 37 percent of their lives have
been spent at school – or, 18,614 hours.
“The advice I pass on are: enjoy the
moment, and take in all the details,” she
said, adorned in honor cords and other
symbols of excellence.
Principal Dan Huff shared a poem by
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, indicating struggle, set backs and tears in
reaching goals and having success but
recovering from failure.
“Give flowers and not thorns to get back
flowers and have a harvest of them,” he
said.
After decades of serving as the vocal
music teacher, Rae Asleson shed tears
conducting her final song, I’ll Always
Remember You, as the graduating choir
brought it home.
Fire claims upper level of
Main Street house
By Pat Racette
A fire destroyed the upper level
of Sam and Judi Fuller’s residence
at 226 South Main St. Sunday
morning.
The fire was reported before 3
a.m. with the Fullers and their two
daughters inside.
However, by the time Allison
Fire responded, the Fullers had
made it safely out, besides a minor
burn to one of the daughters’ hand.
With flames visible through the
upstairs windows, firemen opened
windows to ventilate the area, later
relinquishing flames with assistance from Clarksville Fire.
Firemen were able to salvage the
main floor of the 1 ½-story structure.
“There was heavy fire damage
in the bedroom and hall [of the upstairs], and everything in the other
rooms had heavy soot and were
black,” Cooper said. “But we were
pretty happy to keep the fire upstairs.”

this research was to identify new resistance genes in ‘Honeycrisp’ and to
develop genetic tests to trace the genes in ‘Honeycrisp’ offspring in the
renowned UMN apple breeding program. After graduating in January
2014, Dr. Clark has been implementing the results of his research as a
post-doctoral research associate in the Fruit Breeding and Genetics Lab
at UMN where he also studies grape genetics.
In his time as a graduate student, Clark was the recipient of numerous
fellowships and awards, including the UMN Doctoral Dissertation
Fellowship, Phillip C. Hamm Memorial Scholarship, and the William H.
Alderman award. Clark is a graduate of Clarksville High School (’99),
earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from St. John’s University (’03;
Collegeville, MN) and also completed a Master of Science degree in
Plant Breeding and Genetics from the University of Minnesota (’10). He
is the son of Daniel and Shirley Clark of Clarksville.

Another area of mostly light rain traversed the state from Wednesday (14th)
night into Friday (16th) morning. This
second precipitation event brought
some sleet to central Iowa on Thursday with a few thunderstorms bringing
more than a half inch of rain to parts of
east central Iowa. The reporting week
began warm with highs ranging from
the upper 60’s northwest to mid 80’s
southwest on Sunday (11th). A strong
cold front moved into Iowa on Monday (12th) with highs only in the upper
40’s northwest while upper 80’s were
recorded in eastern Iowa ahead of the
front. Temperatures averaged 10 to 20
degrees below normal from Tuesday
(13th) into Saturday (17th).
Light freezes were recorded in far
northwest Iowa on both Wednesday
and Thursday mornings. Friday morning saw a freeze over about the western
one-half of the state with a hard freeze
across the northwest.
Another freeze was recorded Saturday (17th) morning with the lowest
readings across the northeast. Temperature extremes for the week varied
from a Monday afternoon high of 88
degrees at Le Claire to a Friday morning low of 24 degrees at Spencer. Spencer’s minimum was the lowest temperature recorded for so late in the spring
in Iowa since Sanborn had a 22 degree
reading on May 22, 1963. Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged
from 5 degrees below normal over the
east to 11 degrees below normal across
the northwest with a statewide average
of 8.1 degrees subnormal.

LEGISLATURE APPROVES INCENTIVES TO ATTRACT SKILLED
VETERANS
Over the next five years, the U.S.
Armed Services will downsize our
military forces by 350,000. These
Americans have skills that make them
valuable to Iowa businesses and communities. Attracting former service
members to our state will bring workers
who can help grow our economy and
expand our middle class.
To encourage more veterans to make
Iowa their home, the Legislature approved the Home Base Iowa Act (Senate File 303). The centerpiece of the bill
makes military retirement pay exempt
from state individual income taxes.
Those who are eligible for the tax exemption have given 20 or more years of
military service to our country.
Iowa currently exempts the first $6,000
(single) and $12,000 (married) of a
veteran’s qualified retirement income
from state taxes. To qualify, the taxpayer must be at least 55 or disabled.
Twenty-six other states already exempt
all military retirement pay. By joining
them, we are cutting taxes for at least
7,765 Iowa veterans.
Other benefits to veterans in SF 303
include:
• Allowing private employers to grant
a preference in hiring and promotion to
veterans, and to the spouses of disabled
veterans or service members who died
because of active duty.
• Providing a clear pathway to jobs by
matching military occupational training
to Iowa’s professional and occupational
licensure requirements.
percent adequate and 6 percent surplus.
Eighty-four percent of the expected
corn acreage has been planted, 21 percentage points ahead of last year but 4
percentage points less than the five year
average. Corn emergence reached 28
percent, 4 days in front of last year but
8 days behind normal. Soybean planting advanced 20 percentage points this
week to 40 percent complete, 10 percentage points below average. With oat
planting nearing completion, 81 percent of the oat acreage had emerged,
ahead of last year’s 67 percent, but
8 percentage points behind average.
The season’s first oat condition ratings
came in at 0 percent very poor, 3 percent poor, 46 percent fair, 44 percent
good, and 7 percent excellent.
Limited alfalfa hay has been cut, with
widespread cutting expected to begin
in the next week. Hay condition was
rated 0 percent very poor, 4 percent
poor, 34 percent fair, 49 percent good,
and 13 percent excellent. Pasture condition rated 5 percent very poor, 11 percent poor, 34 percent fair, 40 percent

NORTHEY COMMENTS ON
IOWA CROPS AND WEATHER REPORT
DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of
Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather
report released by the USDA National
Agricultural Statistical Service. The
report is released weekly from April
through October.
“Farmers continue to make planting
progress as the weather allows, with 84
percent of the corn and 40 percent of
the soybeans in the ground,” Northey
said. “Planting progress remains behind the five-year average for both corn
and beans, so farmers remain anxious
to take advantage of every opportunity
to get in the field.”
The weekly report is also available
on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website
at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on
USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia. The report summary follows here:
CROP REPORT
Storms early in the week slowed
fieldwork during the week ending May
18, 2014, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.
Statewide there were 2.6 days suitable
for fieldwork. Average temperatures
were several degrees below normal
and frost was seen across most of the
state. Other activities for the week included tiling and spraying.
Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 9 percent short, 78 percent adequate and 12 percent surplus.
Subsoil moisture levels rated 7 percent
very short, 25 percent short, 62 .
To the Editor:
For several years I have been attending the weekly meetings of the Board
of Supervisors. I have observed, with
interest, the workings of the Board and
how they discuss and decide on issues.
The supervisor job is not just one meeting every week. It takes hours to research issues to be knowledgeable and
well informed. Supervisors also serve
on several boards and committees that
concern and involve Butler County.
Mark Reiher is such a supervisor.
He is intelligent, knowledgeable and
willing to work the hours needed to
best represent Butler County locally,
and protect our interest on committees
working with other counties and the
state. He is a fiscal conservative. Show
your support and re-elect Mark Reiher
as our supervisor for the third district on
June 3.

Willard (Bill) David Feltus, 91, of Charles City, died Thursday, May 15,
2014, at the Clarksville Skilled Nursing Center in Clarks-ville, Iowa.
Bill Feltus was born Feb. 15, 1923 in rural Allison to George E. and Erma
R. (Gallagher) Fel-tus and attended country school. He worked on the family
farm, was employed at an Oliver deal-ership in Allison, and operated a filling
station in Marble Rock before he began his employment as a machinist at the
Oliver Farm Equipment Company in Charles City, where he retired in 1984.
Bill Feltus and Eleanor (Mick-ey)
Roberts were married Jan. 28, 1945
and made their home in Allison,
Osage, and Marble Rock. Together,
they had two sons and seven daughters. They later di-vorced.
On May 5, 1972, Bill married Lila
Ferguson, who welcomed Bill and his
children into her Charles City home.
Bill quickly endeared himself to Lila’s
parents (Mark and Gladys Ferguson),
sisters (Jean Meyer and Helen Bullen), nieces, and nephews.
Bill was a handy man, capable of
making or fixing almost any-thing. He
restored a Model-T that once belonged to Lila’s parents, an Oliver Row Crop
66, and an Oliver 550, which he often drove in Fourth of July parades and
tractor rides. He was a talented mechanic, a skill he shared with his son. In
addition, he was a woodworker and enjoyed creating his own inventions,
including the do-nothing machine.
Other pastimes included fish-ing, mushroom hunting, tomato gardening,
and deer hunting. One of his greatest loves was flying airplanes. (You’re
flying high now, aren’t you, Dad?)
Bill was a longtime member of the Cornerstone Lodge in Marble Rock
and the St. Charles Lodge in Charles City. He is a Past Mas-ter of both and
recently received a certificate of sixty-year member-ship from the Grand
Lodge of Iowa, A.F. & A.M. He was also a member of the El Kahir Shrine
Temple.
Bill enjoyed many family vaca-tions to visit his sister in Bethes-da, MD,
where he watched early landings of the Concorde and proudly located the
oldest gaso-line engine—a Hart Parr tractor from Charles City, IA—in the
Smithsonian Museum. He made many fishing trips to Leech Lake, MN, a
trip to the Badlands and Mt. Rushmore, and a trip to visit his brother in San
Francisco, where he landed minutes before the Great Quake of 1989.
Living family members include his children: Jane Ferch of Clarksville,
Anne (Don) McWilliams of Dumont, Mary Lou Shaw of Marble Rock, Celia
(Randy Sorensen) Feltus of Charles City, Shawn (Dee) Feltus of Rockford,
Ruth (Greg) Hallett of Lawrenceville, GA, Tami Wright of Phoenix, AZ, and
Amy (Randy) Rosser of Lafayette, CO; thirteen grandchildren: Ted (Sara)
Ferch, Melissa (Eric) Thornton, Meredith (Tory Waddingham) McWilliams,
John (Codi Jo-sephsen) McWilliams, Jon (An-nette) King, Jason (Lexi)
King, Erin (Brad) Beasley, David and Laura Hallett, Shane and Lexi Wright,
and Bodhi and Myla Rosser; four step-grandchildren: Graydon, Christine,
Matthew and Danielle Marzen; eight great-grandchildren; a nephew, Pat
(Ruth) Feltus; and two nieces, Rebecca (Bill) Leo and Char-maine (Phil)
Meyer.
He was preceded in death by an infant son, John David; his par-ents; his
siblings: Don, Austin, Robert (Bob), Paul, and Faith Feltus; and his beloved
wife, Lila Feltus.
Funeral services were held Monday, May 19, 2014 at the Sietsema Vogel
Funeral Home, 308 Birch Street, Allison, Iowa. Rev. Douglas Tharpe officiated the service. Burial followed at the Allison Cemetery. Those consid-ering
an expression of sympathy may direct memorials to the Ce-dar Valley Engine Club or the Clarksville Skilled Nursing Center.
Siestema Vogel Funeral Home in Allison was in charge of ar-rangements.
JoAnn Ruth (Hovenga) Bruns
JoAnn Ruth (Hovenga) Bruns, 72, of Dumont, Iowa, passed away Monday,
May 12, 2014, at her home in Dumont. She was born on February 8, 1942, in
Aplington, Iowa, to Harm and Gertrude (Hulzebos) Hovenga. JoAnn graduated from Dumont High School in 1959. She was united in marriage to
Donavon Bruns on October 9, 1959, in Nashua, Iowa.
JoAnn loved attending the Dumont Reformed Church and was active in
the Reformed Church Women’s Group. She loved her home and it was a
fa-vorite gathering place for family
holidays, scrapbooking parties, wedding and graduation prepara-tions,
along with supper and TV nights.
JoAnn was a devoted daughter, wife,
mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter-in-law and friend.
She and Donavon farmed and milked
cows. JoAnn was the first one up in
the morn-ings and the last one in at
night. She also bottle fed many calves
and loved gardening. JoAnn worked
at Lutheran Mutual In-surance in Waverly, the Co-op in Dumont and at the
North Central Vet Center.
Throughout her illness her faith stayed strong. She was kind and loved life.
Her memory lives on in the influence she had on her family and through her
influence in other people’s lives. JoAnn was an amazing lady and was her
family’s blessing.
JoAnn is survived by her daughter Sherry (Lowell) Miller of Dumont,
son Brian (Colette) Bruns of Dumont, daughter Rhonda (Justin) Schmidt of
Dumont, son Terry (Kathy Hin-ten) Bruns of Dumont, grandchil-dren Katie
(Lyle) Hanna, Eliza-beth (Karl) Eilderts, Pascale Bruns, Kollin Bruns, Nicolaus (Ashley Coburn) Brown, Sarah (Justin) Behn, Joseph (Elizabeth Miller
and her son Dustin Miller) Brown, Samuel Brown, Jonathon Schmidt, Jeffrey (fiance Madi-son) Bruns, Mason Bruns, Mad-isyn Bruns, Martin Hinten
and Dalton Hinten and great-grandchildren Haylee Hanna, Emma Behn and
Kinsley Brown due in July.
She was preceded in death by her parents Harm and Gertrude, husband
Donavon, sister Eunice Walkenhorst, brother-in-law Dal-las Walkenhorst
and father and mother-in-law Johnny and Elea-nor Bruns.
Funeral services were held Thursday, May 15, 2014, at the Dumont Reformed Church in Dumont, with Pastor Jeff Fiet officiating. Visitation was
held from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 14, 2014, at the Sietsema-Vogel Funeral Home in Dumont. Burial took place in the Dumont Cemetery.

Devotional
The Strength that Comes
from Faith
A heart that has established its
confidence in God is kept in a
place of composure. Whether we
hear good news or bad news we
have the calm confidence of Job,
“The Lord gave and the Lord has
taken away; may the name of the
Lord be praised.” (Job 1:21)
An important point here is
that the integrity of Job’s faith
did not rise or fall with the
circumstances of this life. Job
trusted in God as the foundation
upon which all else rests, good
and bad.
Job’s life reflects that trust in
God. In the midst of the best
and the worst that life can bring,
Job was at peace. Job reflects
that peace we speak of in the
traditional benediction, “May
the peace of God that passes all
human understanding keep you
in the knowledge and in the love
of Jesus Christ, or Lord, now and
forever more. Amen.”
Job refuses to judge things
by the world’s standards. If we
have trusted in this world to
bring us peace, whatever peace
comes it will be controlled by
this world and will be limited
to this short life and the limited
circumstances of this world.
The faithful look to God’s
eternal, creative, salvation. We
trust in God’s love and place our
hand in God’s hand. With quiet
patience we live the life of faith,
the life eternal.

Although wind, rain and cool
temperatures continue to affect insect hatches and stream clarity, a
few #24 midges, #18 Blue Wing

on better northeast Iowa streams.
Hatches are becoming more numer-
ous. When trout are not rising, nymphing, streamer and wet fly fishing
can be productive. For the spin fisher, try using an 1/8 oz jig tipped with
a white twister or a #5 shad rap. Harold Getty Lake

SPRING HOME IMPROVEMENT
Home improvement tips learned the hard way
‘Tis the season for home improvement projects, and weekend warriors will
soon be visiting home supply retailers to
buy everything from paint to plywood.
There are many advantages to making home improvements on your own,
including the opportunity to test your
mettle at projects big and small.
Many a novice DIYer has learned
the ups and downs of home improvement through trial and error. But the
following are a handful of lessons
first-timers can heed before beginning
their maiden voyages into the world of
DIY home improvements.
* Measure twice, cut once. Perhaps this
is the best-known mantra of home improvement, yet many still ignore it.
Whether you’re anxious to get started or
simply because you still cannot convert
metric to standard formula, you must
take the time to measure twice before
cutting. Learning that you’re a hair too
short later will be prove frustrating and
time-consuming and often necessitates a
last-minute run to the store for more materials. Always measure multiple times
before making cuts.
* Enlist a helper. Having a partner
helping with the work is the most efficient way to tackle a project. This person
can assist you with heavy lifting or moving things or by holding the ladder or
simply passing tools your way. He or she
also can manage work while you make
another run to the home center for more
supplies. Having a helper around also
provides companionship during tedious
projects.
* Lighten the load. You run the risk
of injury, both to yourself and your belongings, if you attempt to move heavy
items on your own. When moving heavy
items, take steps to lighten your load.
For example, empty or remove drawers
from desks and dressers before moving
them. Rely on sliding pads when moving
furniture so items can be slid into place

instead of lifted. Always ask a buddy to
help move especially heavy items.
* Prime before painting. Painting can
be a time-consuming task. In an effort
to save time, some people will look for
painting shortcuts, and these may include skipping the priming portion of
painting. Priming helps to cover existing
paint color and prevent bleed-through of
stains or darker hues to the next coat
of paint. Failure to use a primer could
mean having to paint coat after coat,
which can become costly and take up a
significant amount of time. Always rely
on a priming product, or look for a paint
that blends a primer within to achieve
better coverage. And while you are ensuring a proper paint job, remember to
use painter’s tape or an edging product
to help keep paint off of moldings and
trim.
* Use the right tools. The right tools
make work safer and easier. Think about
how much faster you can cut through a
tree trunk with a chainsaw rather than
a handsaw. Improvising or using the
wrong tools for the job can cost you
time and increase your risk of injury.
* Turn electricity off at the panel box.
Be especially cautious when working
with electricity, turning off the current.
This means shutting down the power on
the breaker box. A live wire can provide
a minor shock or lead to serious injury.
Take the extra time to ensure the power
is off before working with any exposed
wiring.
* Expect the unexpected. Although
many renovation projects go off without a hitch, you never know what you
might uncover when you embark on
repairs or remodels. Homeowners have
come across all sorts of hidden problems
when doing seemingly minor repairs.
Removal of drywall may uncover insect
damage in beams or indications of water
infiltration. Some people take down old
paneling, only to discover it was covering heavily damaged walls beneath.
One repair project can run into another
when home improvements are being
made. Always leave breathing room in
your budget and schedule extra time for
unforeseen tasks as well. S
LAWN & GARDEN
11
These animals may
help your garden
Planning and maintaining a garden
requires a lot of effort, which can
result in an aesthetically pleasing
addition to the landscape. But that
hard work can also fall victim to
nature when local wildlife find a
garden too mouth-watering to resist.
In an effort to rid a garden of
unwanted pests, gardeners may
unwittingly scare away animals and
insects that might just protect the
garden from more ill-intentioned
animals. Not every creature that
scurries is out to get prized petunias
or to devour tomatoes. In fact, many
can prove beneficial to gardens.
Bats
Bats have a bad reputation, as
people unnecessarily fear bats
because they believe them to be
carriers of disease. But many bats
feed off of insects or fruits and will
not harm a human. The average
brown bat can eat 1,000 mosquitoes
in an hour, so it’s easy to see why
bats are good to have around.
Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance
but also harbor potentially dangerous
diseases. Bats also may eat certain
rodents, which can cut down on the
number of animals burrowing in a
yard.
Frogs
Frogs and toads will prey on insects
and make the local insect population
more manageable. Toads eat mainly
slugs, who feed on the leaves and
fruits of many plants. Frogs and
toads are attracted to water, so
including a pond or another water
feature in the garden will provide
them with a habitat they like.
Birds
While it is true that some birds
can damage crops, many birds are

Snakes
Snakes in a garden can be
disconcerting to some people, but
snakes are ideal predators who feed
on insects and rodents several times
their size. Snakes are the right size
and shape to invade the burrows of
pest animals.
Butterflies and bees
Butterflies and bees are responsible
for pollinating the vast majority
of plants. Avoid using pesticides
that may diminish butterfly or bee
populations. A beehive right next
to a garden may not be practical,
but don’t make attempts to destroy
it. Consult with a professional
beekeeper to see what can be done to
move the beehive without destroying
it.
Many animals and insects can
be detrimental to the health of a
garden. However, several animals
are handy to have around and should
be welcomed to the landscape.
Simple ways to limit
weed growth
Weed growth in a garden cannot
only prove unsightly, but also
ultimately harmful to plants and
vegetables. When weeds appear in
a garden, they have already begun
to steal nutrients and water from
surrounding plants, and if allowed
to grow tall, they can also block
sunlight from reaching the plants.
Unfortunately, weeds can be
resilient, and there is no way to
guarantee they won’t grow. But
gardeners can take several steps to
limit the growth of weeds so the
plants in their gardens can grow
strong.
* Work the soil regularly. When
weed roots are removed from the
soil, weeds die. But just because
you hoed or tilled the soil last month
does not mean new weeds won’t
grow in and start robbing your plants
of essential nutrients and minerals
this month. The garden should be
cultivated regularly, and you should
pay particular attention to the soil
after the garden has been watered. If
weeds are allowed to go to seed, the

garden can quickly be overwhelmed
by them, as young weeds tend to
grow in quickly and a little water
might be all they need to sprout. So
make a point to routinely cultivate
the soil with a hoe or tiller, being
careful when working on soil around
growing plants.
* Lay down black plastic. Some
gardeners may want to avoid laying
black plastic down in their gardens
for fear that such a weed deterrent
robs the garden of its natural beauty.
While that might be true, the black
plastic also robs many weeds of their
ability to grow in. Some weeds may
be especially stubborn and grow in
under the plastic, forcing their way
through the holes cut into the plastic
for the plants to grow through. But
laying black plastic covering over
the garden before it’s planted is
often an effective way to limit weed
growth.
* Lay mulch in vegetable gardens.
Mulch can serve multiple benefits in
a garden. Many people find mulch
aesthetically appealing, but mulch
serves more practical purposes
as well. Mulch made of organic
materials, such as bark chips or
grass clippings, is often too heavy
for weeds to push through, making it
difficult, if not impossible, for weeds
to sprout in the garden. But mulch
also conserves moisture in the soil,
strengthening plant roots as a result.
Stronger roots can lead to a healthier
garden.
* Cut down on plants’ elbow room.
The more space between plants, the
more room weeds have to grow. So
decreasing the space between plants
can limit weed growth. But spacing
plants too closely together can make
it difficult for vegetables to grow in
as well. Spacing recommendations
will likely be included on packaging
when buying seeds, but reducing
those recommendations by an inch
or two may allow the plants to grow
in strong while limiting weed growth
at the same time.
Garden weeds can put plants in
jeopardy and rob gardens of their
beauty. But there are a handful of
ways gardeners can limit weed
growth without harming their plants.

May proclaimed
Beef Month
by Governor
Branstad
AMES, IOWA – The month of May
has been proclaimed as Beef Month in
Iowa by Governor Terry Branstad at an
official signing ceremony in his office
in late April.
The Governor noted the economic
impact the beef cattle industry has on
Iowa. Farmers in the state raise nearly
4 million beef cattle, and the products
and services they use on their farms
in cattle production provides jobs for
thousands of Iowans.
Beef is a nutrient-rich food served in
thousands of restaurants, food service
facilities, and schools in the state. And,
of course, it is found on the dining room
tables of most Iowa homes, as well.
The Governor’s proclamation reads:
WHEREAS, Iowa is a major beef producing state with nearly 3.70 million
head of cattle on January 1, 2014; and
WHEREAS, the beef industry contributes greatly to our economy by generating in excess of $5.5 billion annuAMES, IOWA – Those attending the May Beef Month proclamation signing by Governor Terry Branstad were (from left) Justin Rowe,
Dallas Center; Jim Miller, Indianola; Jon McClure, Dallas Center; Gene Bedwell, Osceola; Justine Stevenson, director of issues management and policy implementation for ICA; and Doug Bear, director of industry relations, Iowa Beef Industry Council.

NEW RELEASES:
WAKING THE DEAD by Heather Graham . . . When a painting rumored to come
to life and bring death resurfaces in New
Orleans, Danielle Cafferty and Michael
Quinn, drawn to this case--and to each other--must confront this work of art that somehow frees the people within the portrait to
commit bloody crimes.
THE TROOP by Nick Cutter . . . Leading a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a traditional weekend camping

in the woods who infects the troop with a
bioengineered disease. And one by one, the
boys will do things no person could ever
imagine. LOST LAKE by Sarah Addison Allen . .
. Suley, Georgia, is home to Lost Lake Cottages and not much else. Which is why it’s
the perfect place for newly-widowed Kate
and her eccentric eight-year-old daughter
Devin to heal. Kate spent one memorable
childhood summer at Lost Lake, had her
first almost-kiss at Lost Lake, and met a boy
named Wes at Lost Lake. As Kate discovers that time has a way of standing still at
Lost Lake can she bring the cottages--and
her heart--back to life? THE PRAYER BOX by Lisa Wingate . . . Charged with cleaning out her deceased landlord’s old Victorian house after
her passing, Tandi Jo Reese has her whole
life changed when she discovers Iola’s 81
prayer boxes filled with a lifetime of hopes,
wishes, fears, observations and more. Given

when her mother vanishes.

Schueler.
VAMPIRE MOST WANTED by Lynsay Sands . . . When Marcus Notte is tasked
with bringing mind-reading vampire Basha
Argeneau back to her clan from her hiding
place in Southern California, the two of
them both use passion as their main weapon

Garth Nix . . . Four youths on the brink of
adulthood tap the powers of their animal
familiars and embark on a dangerous mission to stop a dark force that threatens their
survival.
JOURNEY by Aaron Becker . . . A lonely girl draws a magic door on her bedroom
wall and through it escapes into a world
where wonder, adventure, and danger
abound. Red marker in hand, she creates a
boat, a balloon, and a flying carpet that carry
her on a spectacular journey toward an uncertain destiny. When she is captured by a
sinister emperor, only an act of tremendous
courage and kindness can set her free. Can it
also lead her home and to her heart’s desire? THREE LITTLE KITTENS by Paul
Galdone . . . Three little kittens, they lost

three little kittens may be a bit careless, but
they always manage to correct their mistakes in this favorite Mother Goose rhyme.
