Trinity Reformed Church to
feature new worship service
Trinity Reformed Church, Allison, invites the public to a new
worship experience designed as an “intimate encounter” with God.
Whereas some worship is designed to influence our heads, this new
offering will focus more on the heart. Features of the new service
will include contemporary praise music, testimonies (instead of a
sermon), and casual dress (shorts or jeans are fine). The first service
will occur at 5:00 pm. at Trinity on Saturday, June 21, followed by 2 other services on July 19 and Aug. 16. This is
not meant to replace Sunday morning
worship so people from all denominations are encouraged to attend.

Peterson Contractors, Inc., of Reinbeck is the contractor for
three of the four bridges in Butler County that are being replaced this summer. Pictured is the structure on T47 near Sinclair being rebuilt during spring.
Four steal-beam bridges in Butler County are
being replaced this summer.
The projects were bundled to save funds
worth $1.6 million in federal aid and eligible
bridge construction, using the Butler County
Bridge Program and Iowa Department of Transportation.
The four contracts include bridges on County
Road T47 near Sinclair, County Road T16 near
Austinville, Butler Center Road near Oltmann
quarry and County Road C13 near Vail Avenue.
“By advertising these projects together, we
were able to get good competitive bids, as contractors could minimize their mobilization costs
and take advantage of economies of scale,” said
B.C. Engineer John Riherd.
Peterson Contractors, Inc., of Reinbeck is
close to finishing the bridge near Sinclair, and
will also be replacing the bridges near Austinville and Vail Avenue. Taylor Construction of
New Vienna is contracted on the other one on
Butler County Road, and is slated to begin in
July.
BRIDGES OF BUTLER COUNTY
Butler has a total of 245 structures (longer
than 20 feet) classified as bridges by the Federal
Highway Administration.
Butler County Secondary Road inspects each
bridge in the county at least once every two
years – checking condition, load-carrying capacity and remaining service life. According
to Riherd, a typical bridge in the county has an
expected life of 50 to 60 years.
DETOUR ROUTES
Bridge construction of the four structures will
have comparable detour routes on paved roads.
“We encourage through traffic to utilize the
marked detour routes, but recognize that local
traffic generally knows another way around. So
oftentimes, we spend extra time keeping up unofficial detour routes as they develop,” he said.
Call the engineer’s office at 319-267-2625 for
more information or to ask questions.
Allison Cats split with past era archrival
Taking to the road for the first time as
Allison Cats, the visitors split with former
era archrival Osage last Sunday.
The Cats’ hurler, Andrew Withers of
Waverly, pitched a shutout for an opening
victory, 4-0, before the North Stars took
the latter contest, 3-2, with a walk-off hit
in the seventh inning.
“Osage historically is one of the better
teams in our league,” said Collin Freesemann, Allison Cats manager. “I think we
can take a lot of confidence in coming
one bad hop from a sweep of them. We
are getting better as we go, and I feel like
we are going to be a team others worry
about.”
Allison is now 2-2 in the Iowa Amateur
Baseball Association, and will travel to
take on Fayette this Sunday. Also, an account is being set up at Lincoln Savings
Bank to help support the squad financially. Those interested in donating can
call the bank (267-2742) to help fund the
Allison Cats in 2014.
Any money left over from the account
will be given to little league squads.
GAME ONE
In the pitching duel, both teams were
held scoreless after six frames. It wasn’t
until the top of the seventh when the visiting Cats tallied four runs. Jackson Litterer
of Waverly smashed a triple to clear the
loaded bases.
Withers threw a four-hitter, fanning six
North Stars, and walking just one. A solid
defense behind Withers also kept the visitors errorless.
GAME TWO
Nip and tuck the whole way through,
Andrew Sorenson got the call on the
mound again. He threw 6 2/3 innings, giving up seven hits.
The squads traded runs in the fourth
stanza, leaving it 1-1. Then in the top of
the seventh, Tyler Hemmingson opened
with a base hit. With Withers pinch running for Hemmingson, Litterer was
walked and Withers stole third base and
scored on a sacrifice fly from Tyler Willis
of Waverly.
Up 2-1 in the bottom, the Cats couldn’t
hang on after a ball that bounced in the
infield reached the outfield, allowing two
runs to score for a walk-off hit.
Casey Klunder [pictured] grew up rooting for the Allison Cats as a
boy. Though the Cats departed before Klunder had a chance to play
on the team, he is trying to restore the tradition. Last Sunday, Klunder
took a ceremonial at bat during the Cats’ doubleheader at Osage.

Fourth-graders complete large tree plant
Twenty-two fourth graders and
eight adult volunteers finished
the 2014 tree planting project by
mulching 90 trees at Wilder Park
and 20 at the cemetery on May 29.
The tree planting & mulching
are sponsored by the Allison Trees
Forever Committee. Wilbur Cordes
and Duane Feltz assisted. Refreshments were provided by Lois McDowell, Eileen Wust, Janis Grapp
and Lorna Feltz.
This was the 22nd tree plant at
Wilder Park. Over 2200 bare root
trees have been planted by various
groups since 1993. About 12,000
smaller trees were planted in two
forest areas, making a total of over
14,000 planted since the Park was
donated to the City of Allison in
1992.
Pictured below are students and
adult supervisors who participated
in the mulching project:

Fresh strawberries, a favorite of almost everyone, are relatively easy
to grow and hardy throughout Iowa.
Strawberry plants require full sun,
well-drained soils and good management to produce abundant, sweet fruit.
Horticulturists with Iowa State Univesity Extension and Outreach provide
care and management information for
the home gardener. To have additional
questions answered, contact Hortline at
[email protected] or 515-294-3081.
When should strawberries be harvested?
Harvest strawberries when the fruit
are uniformly red (fully ripe). Pick the
berries with the caps and stems attached
to retain firmness and quality. Pinch off
the stem about one-fourth inch above
the cap.
Strawberries should be picked about
every other day in warm weather, every
three to four days in cool weather. The
harvest period for some June-bearing
cultivars may last three to four weeks.
strategy for sap beetles in home gardens. Keep the strawberry patch as
clean as possible through timely picking and removal of damaged, diseased
and overripe fruit.
Insecticide sprays are available for
sap beetles, but they are difficult to use
because they are applied to a crop that
is ready for harvest or while harvest is
underway. If you do spray, use an insecticide with a short harvest-waiting
interval and follow label directions
carefully.
Why do my strawberries have a
slightly bitter taste?
The flavor of most fruits and vegetables is influenced by weather conditions. In regards to strawberries, warm
sunny weather produces the most
flavorful fruit. When the weather is
extremely hot, the berries may have a
slightly bitter taste. Strawberry plants
produce smaller quantities of sugars
when the weather is cool and cloudy.
As a result, berries are not as sweet
when the weather is cool and rainy in
May and June.

Strawberries can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five to seven days.
Optimum storage conditions are a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit and a
relative humidity of 90 to 95 percent.
Some of the strawberries in my garden are covered with a gray, velvety
growth. What is it and how can it be
controlled?
The gray, velvety growth on the berries is probably gray mold. It is also
known as Botrytis fruit rot. Gray mold
is favored by poor air circulation and a
high humidity in the strawberry planting. The most commonly infected berries are those touching the soil or other
infected berries.
Cultural practices can reduce losses
due to gray mold.
• Do not fertilize June-bearing strawberries in spring. The application of a
nitrogen-containing fertilizer in spring
promotes lush, vegetative growth.
Dense foliage slows the drying of the
strawberry planting, resulting in a more

favorable environment for gray mold.
• Control weeds in the strawberry
bed. Weeds reduce air circulation
and slow the drying of the strawberry
plants.
• Mulch the planting with straw to
keep the berries off the ground. Berries
resting on a damp or wet soil are more
susceptible to gray mold.
• During dry weather, irrigate in the
morning when using a sprinkler. Plants
dry quickly when irrigated in the morning.
• “Clean-pick” the strawberry planting. Harvest frequently. Pick berries as
soon as they are ripe.
• Handle berries carefully during harvest to avoid bruising the fruit. Immediately refrigerate the unwashed berries.
Berries that exhibit symptoms of gray
mold should be picked and removed
from the bed.
Fungicides are used by commercial
strawberry growers to control gray
mold. However, cultural practices are
the best way to control Botrytis fruit rot
in home gardens.
There are small, black, yellow-spotted beetles feeding on my strawberries.
What should I do?
The small, black beetles are likely sap
beetles. They also are known as picnic
beetles or picnic bugs. Sap beetles commonly feed on overripe or damaged
fruits and vegetables in the garden.
Sanitation is the best management
ease, can be a problem in wet weather.
Infected fruit have a leathery texture
and bitter taste.
How long can I expect my June-bearing strawberry planting to be productive?
June-bearing strawberry plantings
that are well-maintained and renovated
annually should remain productive for
four or five years. Poorly managed
beds may be productive for only two
or three years. It’s time to plant a new
strawberry bed when berry size and
numbers decline.

OSTFRIESEN GENEALOGY
SOCIETY OF AMERICA
BIENNIAL CONFERENCE
The Ostfriesen Genealogy Society of
American (OGSA) will hold its next
biennial conference at Crowne Plaza
Hotel & Suites, Minneapolis airportMall of America, Minneapolis, Minnesota from August 3 to August 6, 2014.
All Ostfriesens or those interested in
genealogy are invited to attend.
Ostfriesland is a small region of
Germany within the German state of
Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony). The
approximate borders of Ostfriesland
are the Netherlands to the west, south
to Papenburg, east to Oldenburg and
the North Sea. The largest city in Ostfriesland is Emden. Other important
cities are Aurich, Leer, Esens, Jever,
Norden, and Wittmund.
Many families who emigrated from
that area settled in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Wisconsin and
Iowa. Those who came to Iowa settled
primarily in four areas; Jones county;
Grundy/Hardin/ Butler counties; Lyon/
Osceola counties; and Calhoun/Pocohontas counties.
A book entitled “We Will Go to a
New Land”, The Great East Frisian
Migration to America 1845-1895 by
Robert H Behrens provides historical information on a county by county
basis of the settlement experience and
biographical sketches of many early
settlers.
The conference will include plenary
speaker, Timothy Fehler, a noted Ostfriesen historian from Furman University, content rich concurrent sessions,
and visiting German citizens. Courses
include a short course called “Ostfriesen Genealogy 101” to assist those who
are new to Ostfriesen genealogy. Ostfriesen tea, family and historical books,
maps and pictures will be available for
purchase.
OGSA is an active genealogical association with an extensive research
library with holdings on genealogy,
and the history and culture of the Ostfriesens. This extensive library will be
transported from the headquarters in
the Minnesota Historical Society to
the Crowne Plaza for the event. This
conference is a rare opportunity for
residents of this area to have hands-on
access to the comprehensive research
materials and get assistance from regional experts.
More information on the conference and registration is available at the
OGSA website. http://www.ogsa.us/ or
by contacting the conference chair at
the contact information noted above.

OPINION / EDITORIAL
Are you my friend?
“It’s beautiful this morning,” said a
Hy-Vee manager ringing up my triple
antibiotic ointment in the wine and spirits area.
I was buying it for my middle finger
that got cut up playing Frisbee.
“Yeah, it looks nice out there,” I said.
But really I just wondered if it was going to stay that way.
Looking down at my irritated finger,
I happen to see my friendship bracelets
resting around my wrist. Ya see; I’ve
been making them lately, and it seems
to be a good hobby for me.
I went into JoAnn Fabrics a while
ago, and came out with embroidery
floss and a Friendship Bracelets 102
magazine. Then one night, I tried to
conjure one up. I didn’t want to waste
a $10 investment, ya know.
I picked out the widest, coolest bracelet I could find – a color change wide diamonds design. Next, I picked out color
strings of two blue, two orange and two
green; cut them six feet and overhand
knotted them.
Then I got mad. I began going knot
crazy when I couldn’t figure out what

I was doing. I made myself walk away,
take a breath and wait to get back on the
horse. I didn’t want to quit; so a couple
nights later I began tying right and left
knots from where I left off – a tattered,
nasty mess. But, I ended up making a
bracelet I could fasten around my wrist.
The pattern may have been sketchy,
and the width different proportions, but
I was proud to wear it.
As I grew interest in other simpler
designs, my right wrist grew plentiful
with colors. So I switched to my naked
left wrist, making different-colored
bracelets for both hands.
However, the real goal of these creations is giving them away. Sure, I felt
a lot of satisfaction to come up with
something so chic and cool, but the real
power was in making a bond with a
friend.
Iowa Crops & Weather Report
Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey
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.
“Unfortunately the strong storms that
rolled through Southeast Iowa caused
some crop and property damage. Otherwise much of the state is in good
shape with planting mostly completed
and farmers now focused on scouting
fields, spraying and in-season fertilizer
applications,” Northey said.
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
In spite of rains during the week, corn
and soybean progress remained ahead
of normal in Iowa for the week ending
June 8, 2014, according to the USDA,
National Agricultural Statistics Service.
Statewide there were 4.0 days suitable
for fieldwork. Farmers in southwest
Iowa were concerned about damage
caused by the June 3rd storm. Other activities for the week included spraying,
herbicide application, and field side
dressing.
Recent precipitation increased soil
moisture levels. Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 10 percent short, 79 percent adequate and 10
percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels
rated 5 percent very short, 22 percent
short, 68 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus. Southwest and south central Iowa were the wettest with over 30
percent of topsoil in surplus condition.
Ninety-eight percent of the corn acreage has emerged, 18 percentage points
ahead of last year and 4 percentage
points ahead of the five year average.
Corn condition rated 1 percent very
poor, 2 percent poor, 15 percent fair,
64 percent good, and 18 percent excellent. With soybean planting nearing
completion, 87 percent of the crop has
emerged, 3 weeks in front of last year
and just over a week ahead of normal.
The season’s first soybean condition
rating came in at 1 percent very poor, 2
percent poor, 16 percent fair, 64 percent
good, and 17 percent excellent. Twenty-four percent of the oat crop has headed, ahead of last year’s 14 percent but
behind average by 7 percentage points.
Oat condition rated 0 percent very poor,

Iowa Preliminary
Weather Summary
By Harry Hillaker, State Climatologist,
Iowa Department of Agriculture &
Land Stewardship
It was a very active week of weather
across Iowa. Three large precipitation
events on Sunday (1st), Tuesday (3rd)
and Saturday (7th) brought copious
amounts of rain to much of the state.
The Sunday event brought heaviest
rain, along with some high winds, to
northwest and far western Iowa with
Cherokee reporting 4.11 inches of rain.
The Tuesday event brought a very
damaging combination of large hail
and high winds to parts of southwestern Iowa, roughly along and south of
a Harrison County to Decatur County
line. Very heavy rain fell over the
same southwestern counties while rain
amounts decreased to just sprinkles in
far northeast Iowa. Lamoni Airport
reported 5.65 inches of rain with this
second event. The final event came
on Saturday and brought showers and
thunderstorms to much of the southeast
two-thirds of Iowa but without any severe weather. Bloomfield reported the
most rain with this Saturday event with
2.76 inches. Overall weekly rain totals
varied from 0.43 inches at Cedar Falls
to 7.30 inches at Red Oak, 7.17 inches
at Oakland and 7.05 inches at Lamoni
Airport. There was a statewide average
of 2.33 inches of rain. This was double
the weekly normal of 1.17 inches and
was the highest weekly average since
late May 2013. Finally, there were also
several reports of large hail over far
northwestern Iowa on Thursday afternoon. Sunday (1st) was the warmest
day of the reporting week except in the
rain cooled northwest portion of the
state. Warm and humid air also dominated all but northwest Iowa on Monday (2nd) while temperatures averaged
a few degrees either side of normal for
the remainder of the week. Temperature extremes varied from a Sunday
(1st) afternoon high of 92 degrees at
Little Sioux to a Sunday (8th) morning
low of 45 degrees at Spencer. Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged
2.7 degrees above normal.

Are you my friend? I started thinking as I walked and talked with others.
Should I offer you part of my wrist? Or
should I leave it there?
I do hope to one-day tether up enough
friendship bracelets to have both arms
full of them, like Dennis Rodman
wears tattoos.
I thought about selling them, but that
defeats the sole purpose in my evaluation. Really, I imagine a friendship
wave running over Butler and spreading into other counties.
Summer sports, academics and legislature
With spring sports wrapped up for
another year, the summer sports season has arrived. Congratulations to
our spring athletes who represented
their schools so well at track, tennis,
soccer, and golf competitions across
the district and at State. I am looking
forward to following this summer’s
high school baseball and softball
teams as well! There is certainly no
shortage of talent in our high school
athletic programs.
Likewise, there is no shortage of
talent in the area of academics either. I’ve enjoyed reading about the
many scholarships and awards our
recent graduates have received. As
these young Iowans make preparations for life beyond high school, it’s
exciting to think about all of the opportunities that await them.
I’m so pleased the Legislature was
able to freeze tuition at our public
universities for the second straight
year, provide additional funding for
our community colleges, and increase opportunities for Iowans who
wish to attend one of Iowa’s independent colleges. I am also hopeful
some will take a look at the available apprenticeship programs in the
state. This past session, we invested
$2.75 million to help businesses
offset the cost of training new apprentices. More and more people are
discovering there are great careers to
be had in the skilled trades industry,
and speaking from personal experience- when your home gets struck
by lightning, you’ll be glad to have a
skilled electrician in the area!
Regardless of the chosen path,
Under the Golden Dome Too
By State Representative Linda Upmeyer
House District 54

it’s encouraging to know that when
these young grads are ready to enter the Iowa workforce, good jobs
will be available. Iowa’s latest unemployment rate has dropped to
4.3 percent, and employers are still
consistently telling me they continue
to be in need of more strong, highlyskilled, well-trained workers.
These young Iowans are the future leaders of our communities. We
want to encourage them to stay in
Iowa, not only by passing legislation
to promote job creation, but also by
making it more affordable to buy a
home and raise a family in our state.
This year the House passed a bill
that would help Iowans interested
in purchasing their first home, save
money in order to do so. The legislation would have established a firsttime home buyers savings account
to help individuals save money for a
down payment and other costs related to buying a home. That savings,
up to $3000 per person or $6000 per
couple per year, could be deducted
from the state income tax for up to
10 years. While the bill did not make
it to the Governor’s desk this session, I believe it is a concept that deserves more work next year.
Again, congratulations to the Class
of 2014. I look forward to following
your continued success and wish you

Margaret
Gerdes
Margaret Gerdes, 84, of Dumont, Iowa, passed away Wednesday, June 4,
2014, at Franklin General Hospital in Hampton, Iowa.
Margaret Evelyn (Becker) Gerdes was born May 6, 1930 to John and Helen
(Folkers) Becker at Ackley, Iowa.
She graduated from Ackley High
School in 1948. Following graduation,
Margaret worked at Rath Packing in
Waterloo, Iowa, but the love of a farmer
moved her to the farm.
She married Paul H. Gerdes on September 1, 1950 at St. John’s Evangelical Reformed Church in Ackley, Iowa.
She and Paul made their home for 60
years in the same house he was born in.
Margaret loved living in the country
and the farm way of life.
Margaret was a member of the Dumont Reformed Church and previously
taught Sunday School and catechism
for many years, Butler County Farm
Bureau Women, Butler County Farm Bureau membership campaign chair,
Butler County Extension Council, the Republican party, worked tirelessly on
Relay for Life and was the area American Cancer Society daffodil chairperson
for many years. She and Paul enjoyed their camaraderie with the IPLA (Interstate Producers Livestock Association) board of directors, of which Paul was
a member. She and Paul also enjoyed their fellowship and service as Gideons.
Margaret was also an important part of supporting Paul and his lay speaking at
area churches.
Margaret enjoyed crocheting and saw to it that each of her children and grandchildren had a specially made afghan.
She worked at Cropmate and J&C Grocery for many years as a clerk and
enjoyed her ‘social’ time there. To say she loved her job as hostess at Sietsema-Vogel Funeral Home in Dumont is an understatement. Although it meant a
sad occasion for her to go to work, she enjoyed greeting people and treating the
deceased with the utmost respect and dignity.
Margaret is survived daughter Marilyn (Roger) Freeman, son Mark (Deb)
Gerdes, grandchildren David (Shanna) Freeman, Andrea (Derek) Nyhus, Jodi
(Harv) Demuth, Kelli (Shane) Roenfanz, and Maggie Gerdes, great grandchildren Tyler, Josephine, Morgan, Annie, Max, Bryce, Grant, sister Hazel Fuller,
brother-in-law Herman (Donna) Gerdes, and sister-in-law Darlene Gerdes.
She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, infant brother, sister
Dorothy Freese, brothers-in-law Russell Fuller, Frederick Freese, and Robert
Gerdes.
Funeral services were held Saturday, June 7, 2014, at the Dumont Reformed
Church in Dumont. Burial took place in the Dumont Cemetery.
Sietsema-Vogel Funeral Home in Dumont was in charge of arrangements.
Frank
“Jibo” John Austin
Frank “Jibo” John Austin, age 96, of Clarksville, Iowa, was born the son of
Charles Melbourne and Martha (Ruth) Austin on December 10, 1917, on a farm
in Butler County, near Shell Rock, Iowa. He re-ceived his education from a rural
country school near his home and then
graduated from the Shell Rock High
School in 1937.
On January 7, 1938, Frank was united in marriage with Marian Esther
Marquand in Allison, Iowa. The couple made their home and farmed near
Shell Rock until 1953. They moved
and farmed north of Clarksville until
1964 when they retired from farming and moved to town in Clarksville.
Frank continued working at Roach
Farms in Plainfield, Farm Service in
Allison, worked for Max Myers and
Fred Maiers, and also he managed the
Clarksville Car Wash.
Frank was a member of Community
United Methodist Church. He often enjoyed playing cards espe-cially with his
friends at Pete and Shorty’s. He liked to go fishing to various different places and
enjoyed his fishing trips to Canada. He liked to take drives throughout the countryside and visiting the Amish. Frank looked forward to Sunday family dinners,
all of the times spent together and he especially liked scaring the grandchildren
in good fun.
Frank died Saturday, June 7, 2014, at his home in Clarksville of natural causes.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Marian Austin on February 5, 2013; a
daughter, Sandy Austin; a daughter-in-law, Muriel “Mert” Austin; a great-granddaughter, Casie Hovenga; his parents; and two brothers, Melbourne and Jay Austin.
Frank is survived by two sons, Craig Austin of Waverly and Mike (Sally) Austin
of Waverly; seven grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and his dog, Buddy.
Funeral Services were held Wednesday, June 11, 2014, at Community United
Methodist Church in Clarksville, with Pastor Dan Fernandez officiating. Special memories were shared by Nichole Austin. Lola Clark was the organist and
she accompanied the congregation as they sang “Amazing Grace” and “How
Great Thou Art”. Special music was “Daddy’s Hands” and “Grandpa”. Burial
was at Lynwood Cemetery in Clarksville with Jason Austin, Levi Green, Jamie
Gleason, Scott Cuvelier, Michelle Austin and Donnette Groeneveld serving as
Casketbearers. Honorary Casketbearers were all of his grandchildren.
Memorials may be directed to the family. Redman-Schwartz Funeral Home
in Clarksville was in charge of arrangements. Online condolences may be left at

WHAT IS MISSING?
PUBLIC NOTICES
B.C. Hall of Fame
inducts three nominees
Just Another Day at the Office
I have just spent two of the most
frustrating days of my life because
of technology! Specifically, that new
computer sitting on my desk!
It appears that upon opening an
“Important” email from Connie, my
Youth Program Specialist, I got a nasty virus in my computer. Who knew?
Lesson I learned – don’t open emails
from Connie!
I don’t know how much damage
I did to anyone else’s computer by
sending emails that day. My parents’
bank made me aware of the problem
when they called to see if I really
wanted them to wire money. Um, that
would be a resounding, “NO”!
Of course AFTER this all happened,
I was told about someone sending the
virus to Connie and we weren’t to
open her email. TOO LATE!!
I spent Tuesday morning with first
IT at Iowa State and then ITS. (The
S stands for solution!) My question –
“Why would I be calling IT if I didn’t
need a solution?”
Seems this virus is not a good thing
to have. “They” put a block on my ac-
count for 24 hours and I was told to
call back on Wednesday.
Spent most of Wednesday calling
this person back and got no answer.
So I just called ITS (looking for a solution, here!) and was told there was a
block on my account. Duh! I already
knew that! Please help!
I was told I needed to talk to an administrator so I was to hold while he
“found” one. Are they hiding from
me?
A few songs later, he came back to
tell me no administrator was available
and he’d have one call me when one
was available. I turned my computer
off for another day and left the office!
(After all, it was 8:30 PM!)
Today, Thursday, the original lady I
dealt with called bright and early and
gave me my new password and told
me I should be good to go. (I HATE
when people tell me that because I
never am!)
Sure enough the password got me
to my email page but I still can’t get
any new emails. There’s a “system
error”. (Don’t you just love technology?) So I called her back and left
another message explaining that I still
couldn’t access my email account and
could someone (I am desperate at this
point!) please help?
Did I mention I am less than 3 weeks
from fair, have 11 events coming up
BEFORE fair I need to be ready for,
all my information is on my computer
and NOW I CAN’T GET INTO MY
COMPUTER?
Just another day, or two or three, at
the office. Don’t you just love technology?
Housing sales trending upward
Brenda Schmitt, Iowa State University Extension
Housing sales are trending upward,
distressed sales are falling, and the
value of homes is equivalent to values
from 2005. This is the news from the
Housing Scorecard, which contains unbiased information on trends in housing and is issued monthly by Housing
and Urban Development, www.hud.
gov. This is good news for individuals
who have a home for sale; it also might
make it easier to decide if it is wise to
start a home improvement project on a
home you plan to sell in the future.
The USDA and Iowa State University
Extension & Outreach partnered to develop an online homebuyer education
program http://www.extension.iastate.
edu/HomeBuyer/. The course offers
much more comprehensive information than can be share in this column.
Completion of the course earns you a
certificate required for some USDA
loans. The site also maintains a list of
publications to help homeowners maintain or improve their homes. http://
www.extension.iastate.edu/HomeBuy-
er/publications.htm
For those having trouble with their
mortgage, a valuable source of information and (possibly leading to help
with restructuring their loan) is HARP
http://www.makinghomeaffordable.
gov which is a site for homeowners to
find relief for mortgages that are underwater.
We haven’t recovered from the housing
bubble, but it’s good to see slow and
steady progress. Owning a home is still
a step toward personal asset building;
keeping it realistic is the key.

REC warns members
of utility scammers
A Butler County Rural Electric Cooperative member notified a cooperative he received a phone call from his
local REC last week.
The caller said his power would be
shut off within 45 minutes. The member was instructed not to interfere with
workers when they arrived on the property. No request was made for a payment.
Butler REC warns members to hang
up if receiving a suspicious call from
someone claiming to be from REC.
Then, members should report the call
to the cooperative at 888-267-2726.
REC’s policy is to give a 24-hour notice prior to any disconnection of electrical service. The cooperative reminds
its members they can call and pay bills
over the phone with a credit card or
bank draft. The cooperative never takes
payments by visiting homes or calling
them members to ask them to pay bills.

Iowa Fishing Report
Casey Lake
(aka Hickory Hills Lake)
Northeast
Bluegill are in the shallows on
area lakes as the spawning season is
upon us. Largemouth bass fishing is
heating up also as we approach summer water temperatures. Interior rivers are in excellent shape right now.
Trout streams remain in excellent
condition, for further information
contact the Manchester District Office @ 563-927-3276.
Casey Lake
Northeast
Casey Lake has been good fishing for bluegill, largemouth bass and
channel catfish. Casey Lake
Northeast
Bluegill - Good: Fish a small
piece of worm under a slip bobber
just off of the shoreline as bluegill
are on the spawning beds. Casey Lake
Northeast
Largemouth Bass - Good: Try
casting spinner or crank baits, rubber worms along the dam or off of
the jetties for good action. Plenty of
bass ranging in the 13” to 16” size
range. Casey Lake
Northeast
Channel Catfish - Good: Try fishing off of the old beach area with
stinkbait, nightcrawlers or leopard
frogs for some trophy catfish. Late
afternoon, early evening has been
the best. Cedar River
(above Nashua)
Northeast
Scattered showers are forecast
for the weekend. Area rivers are
turbid and unfishable but don’t let
that stop you from exploring a trout
stream. Lakes and trout streams are
in good condition. For more information on water levels, please visit
this website at http://waterdata.usgs.

Visibility is poor due to recent
rainfall and flows are up.
Cedar River
(above Nashua)
Northeast
Channel Catfish - Slow: Anglers
are picking up catfish using a hook
tipped with dead chubs, cut bait,
stinkbait or night crawlers. Cedar River
(above Nashua)
Northeast
Walleye - Slow: Walleye are hit-
ting worms and minnows. A jig and
twistertail is also working. Cedar River
(above Nashua)
Northeast
Crappie - Slow: Anglers are picking up crappies in the backwaters
or shallow off channel areas using
hooks tipped with minnow or rubber
skirted jigs. Morning and evening
are best. Cedar River
(above Nashua)
Northeast
Smallmouth Bass - Slow: Smallmouth are hitting night crawlers and
minnows.
Cedar River
(above Nashua)
Northeast
Northern Pike - Slow: Anglers
are beginning to see a few northerns
in the creel. Cedar River
(Nashua to La Porte City)
Northeast
contact the Manchester District Office @ 563-927-3276. Cedar River
Northeast
The Cedar River is beginning to
clear up again as water levels begin
to drop in Bremer County. There
have been good reports of channel
catfish, smallmouth bass and walleye being caught in Black Hawk
county. Cedar River
Northeast
Walleye - Fair: A jig tipped with
half a nightcrawler is a sure bet for
walleye this time of year. Look for
current breaks below wood structure
or rocky shoreline areas for walleye. Cedar River
Northeast
Channel Catfish - Fair: A
nightcrawler or dead cutbaits fished
upstream of logjams or below riffle
areas on the bottom has been productive for channel catfish this time
of year. Cutbaits have seemed to be
the bait of choice recently. Cedar River
Northeast
Smallmouth Bass - Fair: Try jigs
tipped with a crawler or casting spinner and crank baits for smallmouth
as water temperatures warm. Decorah District Streams

Scattered showers are forecast for

Pioneer Days:
Class of ‘64 to be featured

Pioneer Days: Class of ‘64 to be featured in 50th reunion celebration
A total of 31 members graduated
from Clarksville in the Class of 1964.
The featured class for the all-school
reunion will have ceremonies in the
west gym, which then was called the
new gym.
All class members wore white gowns
with a red rose, as the colors were red
and white. The class motto was – With
the ropes of the past we shall ring the
bells of the future.
All members had classes in the old
school building, where the post office
currently stands, with the exception of
sixth and seventh grades 6th and 7th being at the new school. Classes then took
walks to the new building for P.E. in
the west gym. The ’64 senior class play
was Heap Big Cake.
The class had several caring teachers in high school, including Mrs. Zoe
Chambers, who retired with the group
after teaching English and literature
and being the play director. Students
of the class held an afternoon farewell
program for her on a Sunday in May
that year.
SENIOR MEMORABLE MOMENT: In government class on Nov.
22, 1963, it was announced that President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas,
Texas. As most everyone remembers
where they were during the tragedy, the
’64 group remembers being together
for the news that changed their innocent world.
Since graduation, members have
raised families, enjoyed grandchildren,
traveled the world, fought in wars, enjoyed careers and are mostly retired.
Members of the class, include: Bruce
Bienemann, Lucille Barnett Leerhoff,
Bonnie Cagley Mueller, Mary Nell
Carpenter, Ronald Dann, Maynard
DePuew, Ann Evans Frame, Gary
Freerks, Patsy Freerks, Karen Frerichs
Kettwig, Carol Garbes Steinkraus,
Catherine Harn, Larry Heine, Bonnie
Jacobs, Eberhart, Patricia Kalainoff
Buss, Gary Kramer, Donald Laube,
Mary Lou Long, Mary Lee Martin
Sinram, Ruth Matthias, Daryl McCoy,
Marilyn Miller Niehaus, William Neal,
Don Niehaus, Robert Oldenburger,
Larry Olmstead, Mary Ann Schilling
Deike, Kathy Schoneman DeGroot,
Lois Stille Wiemeyer, Pat Thompson
Klunder and Gary Wilder. Sadly, one
one class member has been lost in Don
Laube.
Throughout the years, Joan Boyd,
Mary Lou Anhalt, Roger Jacobs, Chuck
Backer, Ron Smedley and Kathy Perry
were also part of the class of ’64.
