Create memorable moments this summer–
Design an outdoor
room for all to enjoy
N
By Melinda Myers
o matter your budget, space
or gardening experience, you
can design an outdoor entertainment area for you, your family and
friends to enjoy.
Start by gathering ideas from magazines, the internet and websites like
Gardener’s Supply Company for examples of outdoor garden spaces.
Next, select an area that is convenient
and suitable for your outdoor entertaining. Define the space using outdoor rugs
and furniture or tall planters (gardeners.
com) to serve as the walls for your garden room. A bistro set and a couple of
chairs make for an intimate space on a
balcony. Those with more room may
want to include an outdoor wicker and
teak dining set. Fill the planters with ornamental grasses, papyrus, cannas and
other flowering plants to create a living
screen.
Add a splash of color and flavor to the
space by growing herbs and vegetables
combined with flowers in these and additional planters in your garden space.
Include ingredients for your favorite
drinks, appetizers and meals. Your
guests will enjoy plucking a few mint
leaves for their iced tea or mojito, harvesting fresh greens from a Salad Garden Bar and dressing up the meal with
a few pesticide-free edible flowers like
nasturtiums, calendula and daylilies.
Busy gardeners and those that travel
may want to try self-watering pots.
These containers have built-in water
reservoirs to provide a constant flow
of water to the plants. This means you
need to water less often, while still enjoying healthy and productive plants.
Add some height and focal points
with topiaries. Purchase a sculpted evergreen or train vines up a twist topiary
frame to create a bit of living art. And

hen it comes to remodeling, there are dozens of
ways to improve your
home’s overall value and appeal
without breaking the bank. Opt for
projects that are manageable in scale,
affordable and deliver benefits in
multiple ways, such as aesthetics and
energy efficiency.
Ditch uninviting doors
From the curb, doors can have a significant bearing on your home’s overall appeal. Outdated or dingy doors,
or doors that don’t reflect the style of
the rest of the home and landscape
can drag down your home’s appeal.
Not only can a new door add character and brighten the overall aesthetic,
freshly hung doors – whether at your
entry or garage – come with the added
benefit of new sealing. That translates
into greater energy efficiency and
savings on heating and cooling bills.
Take a fresh approach to lighting
Increasing the amount of natural
light and fresh air that enters your
rooms can transform spaces, making
them seem larger, more airy and extra
inviting. Skylights are a surprisingly
affordable upgrade for the functionality and aesthetic benefits they provide. In areas where wall windows
aren’t practical or desirable, such as
master closets or baths where privacy
is paramount, skylights provide an
ideal solution.
Give your lighting and home value
a boost with an Energy Star-qualified

option such as Velux solar-powered

fans, with the touch of a programmable remote control. For expanded
control over the amount of light and
warmth that enters or leaves your
rooms, solar-powered skylight blinds
are available in designer colors and
patterns. Like the skylights, Velux solar-powered blinds are operated with
the remote. The solar products and
installation costs are also eligible for
a 30-percent federal tax credit. Learn
more at whyskylights.com.
Expand livable space outdoors
A backyard oasis that expands your
property’s living area is a smart investment, no matter what climate you
call home. This is one project that can
scale up quickly, but it need not grow
to extravagant proportions to make a
noticeable difference in your home’s
value and appeal and offer a nice return on investment. Some lush vegetation and cozy seating around a focal
point, such as a fire pit, is a simple but
effective entry point. As budget allows, additions like outdoor kitchens,
water features and more abundant
vegetation lend even greater impact.
Whether you’re looking to make
improvements for your own enjoyment or seeking ways to enhance
your home’s appeal to potential buyers, there are simple but effective options that allow you to make a meager
investment for a great impression.

Bus Driver Pay — The Rest of the Story
Look for prairie grasses
To the Editor,
As you drive north of Clarksville on Highway 188 you may notice the
dying, browning vegetation along the roadside. I will be eagerly watching
these roadside areas over the next few years, as native Iowa prairie grasses
and flowers begin to grow. This highway planting is part of a network
of many state, county, and city roadsides that are being planted to native
Iowa prairie plants, and there are many good reasons for doing so.
Native prairie plants have deep and dense root systems – much more so
than non-native cool season grasses that we are used to seeing along roads.
Some native plant root systems can stretch several feet deep; to see a picture check out https://www.uni.edu/tallgrass/prairie-roots-project. These
fibrous root systems annually grow and decay, and in that process, add
organic matter to the soil, improving its quality and structure, and creating more pore spaces where storm water runoff can soak into the ground.
This helps reduce the surface runoff during a rain event and decreases
flash flooding. The roots also limit soil erosion where slopes are prone to
erosion. In the long run, once established, a roadside planting of diverse
native plants will be less susceptible to weed invasion. This reduces herbicide usage and maintenance costs. Finally, native plants provide valuable
habitat for birds and beneficial insects, particularly pollinator species like
butterflies and bees, whose populations are declining.
As you drive north out of Clarksville over the next few years and notice
a diverse mix of flowers and prairie grasses, enjoy their beauty and consider the many other benefits these plants provide.

‘But, but, but’
Due to procrastination, this column is being written the DAY IT IS DUE!
Some weeks a column just flows along smoothly and other weeks it is like
pulling teeth! I know it needs to be sent, I just get busy and put it off until
the last minute. Why do I, and a lot of other people, do that? If I would just
sit down on Wednesday and do it, it would be done and sent well before
deadline.
It seems we are having this same issue in the 4-H world as we had livestock deadline on May 30. This is June 3 and we are still getting phone calls
from people who missed the deadline and want us to fix it so they can show
at the fair. How do we do this? Just not set deadlines? Oh, I can just imagine
the chaos that would result in! If you make a deadline are you rewarded?
Not usually. So if you don’t, do you suffer the consequences? Usually.
I know there are many people out there that have no clue the amount of
work that goes on before fair getting everything ready. (Thank goodness
we have Kortney back this year!) I also know many people don’t see the
big deal about letting one more entry in. Trouble is one more quickly becomes two, three, five, six, or even ten. Now we have an issue.
4-H is all about learning life skills and one of the biggest life skills is
responsibility. Is there any time in life when one is not responsible for the
decisions they are making? Even my two year old granddaughter knows
when a decision she made is not to her mommy’s liking!
From the office side of things, we have done everything we could do to
make people aware of that deadline. Holly had it in newsletters. She started
sending out Friday Facts with deadlines listed every week. We had it in the
paper. We put it on the radio. Leaders talked about it at meetings. We can’t
do anymore!
While none of us want to tell a 4-H’er no for any reason, I can assure you
that missing a deadline once results in never missing that deadline again!
Anyone who wants to do something has the responsibility of getting entries
in on time.
Thank goodness we have a 4-H & Youth Committee to make the final
decision on these items, but truthfully, they should not have to be dealt
with in the first place. We have long had a policy of NO LATE ENTRIES.
Many other counties also have that same policy. If you miss filing taxes,
you pay a penalty. If you miss an assignment at school, you get a zero. If
you forget to renew your driver’s license, you retake the test.
What can we do for missing a fair deadline? Well, we can make the fine
high enough that people learn they NEVER WANT TO MAKE THAT
MISTAKE AGAIN! We can look the other way and miss helping kids
learn one of life’s lessons. We can slap their hands and say don’t do that
again.
I am not sure what the answer is. I am glad the decision is not mine to
make. However, we have enough families missing deadlines this year that
something has to change!
By Clarene Backer, Greene
N. Butler Bus Driver
According to Mr. Foster, the bus drivers have been “inadvertently” overpaid
for activity trips. This “inadvertent” payment practice has been going on for over
30 years. This “inadvertent” pay practice
gone through more than 30 audits and
never been questioned. This “inadvertent”
pay practice is the pay scale that all of us
bus drivers were hired under.
Mr. Foster had the transportation director call a meeting for April 28, 2016, to
inform the drivers that we would no longer be paid for the activity trips at the current rate. We were receiving pay for our
route if the activity trip left before or during our route, preventing us from driving
the route. We also were paid for the activity hours. That extra pay, or “inadvertent”
overpayment, that we received for activity trips had always been an incentive to
take the trips and extra compensation for
being gone away from our home and and
families at night and on the weekends. As
I stated before, we all were hired under
this pay scale. Our transportation director
informed us that the pay change would be
retroactive back to April 1, 2016. What
they were proposing to do was take away
pay already earned.
Mr. Foster claims they did not ask for
the repayment of any of the “inadvertent”
overpayments. However we all have copies of the time sheets for April, which
show where the activity hours have been
changed to reflect the lower pay scale. The
only reason pay had not been taken away
as yet was that we are paid on the 20th of
the month following the worked hours
and had not yet received checks before we
brought this to the attention of the board at
the May 9 meeting.
That meeting can be viewed at “Following North Butler” on Facebook. All
board meetings are taped and posted for
the public to view. If you’ve never been to
a school board meeting or viewed the recordings, I’d suggest you look at the May
9, 2016, meeting and watch our administration and board at work.
Yes, the drivers are paid for five hours
a day. I arrive at the bus barn at approximately 6 a.m. and start my bus, do the pretrip, the paperwork, etc. My route starts
approximately 6:35 a.m. most days. After
completing the route and the shuttle to Allison, we return to Greene at about 8:20
a.m. That figures out pretty close to 2 1/2
hours. This is repeated for the afternoon
route (…) 2:30 p.m. (to) 4:45 p.m. Mr.
Foster has stated several times how generous he has been to give us an extra hour
more than last year. Four trips between
Allison and Greene is awfully close to an
hour. If we are getting a few minutes extra,
it’s just that, a few minutes.
Yes there are some drivers who do not
have routes as long as mine, but three of
the four Greene drivers (the women) have
routes between 30-35 miles long. Add 1015 stops on that 30-35 miles and it takes
well over an hour to complete. Then there
are the town stops and the trip to Allison
making the total driving time nearly 1 1/2
hours for some of us. I challenged Mr.
Foster to ride my route with me but didn’t
receive a response.
I have voiced by concerns about the inequality of the routes on several occasions,
asking if there wasn’t a way to equalize the routes. Some of the drivers don’t
have much more than 20 miles. At the last
meeting on May 11, 2016, that Mrs. Foster
had held with the bus drivers, he told us
the routes were his and the transportation
director’s job, not ours, and the drivers
have no say in them.
At the May 9 board meeting, I was
speaking for the bus drivers. We asked
that our contract be honored. We pursued
this upon advice from my attorney, Patrick
Vickers. Our hourly wage per our contract is listed as $19.24. There is no other
hourly wage listed. We have been paid
$11.67 for our activity trip rate. After going into exempt session, the board reached
the agreement that our contract would be
honored and our wages corrected to reflect
the $19.24 per hour for all hours worked
retroactive to the beginning of the 20152016 school year. However after receiving
our checks on May 20, 2016, the retroac-
Vocal minority report
Captain America is a Hydra spy and always has been.
At least what writer Nick Spencer wants
you to believe after reading the first issue of “Captain America: Steve Rogers,”
which hit shelves a couple weeks ago.
The details aren’t entirely clear, but it appears Captain America’s history has been
rewritten to turn him into a Nazi loving
double agent.
The only thing more absurd than that
premise is the reaction it has invoked.
In spite of the fact that Captain America
has, in just the last decade, been dead and
turned into an elderly man (in that order),
and come out of both changes no worse
for wear, a surprising number of people
seem to think that this is the shocking twist
that will change the character forever.
It won’t, but some people don’t realize
this. So now Spencer is receiving the same
kind of grief not seen since the last time
somebody at Marvel made a huge change
to a beloved character. Which, of course,
includes a number of death threats.
Death threats over silly things are hardly
uncommon on the Internet. As Spencer
was dealing with the fallout from his Captain America reveal, game developer Sean
Murray had the misfortune of telling an
overly eager audience that the upcoming
game, “No Man’s Sky,” had been delayed.
That’s right. Death threats over the
relatively common practice of delaying a
video game. People can get really passionate about things.
Outside of pop culture, we see similar
behavior in politics. Donald Trump and
Bernie Sanders have very little in common
when it comes to their political platform,
but both have attracted a contingent of,
let’s say “spirited” supporters. Ones that
feel perfectly comfortable sucker punching black kids or harassing super delegates
with 2 a.m. phone calls. (Hillary Clinton
seems to have avoided this problem by going to great lengths to ensure nobody gets
too excited about her campaign.)
Late night phone calls aren’t reserved
for national politics either. Before voting
down the economic package that would
have facilitated the Prestage pork plant
in Mason City, the city council members
shared their displeasure with the behavior
of some of the project’s opponents. Specifically, the ones that called their jobs and
yelled at their co-workers.
Who does this? What’s happening here?
Is society crumbling? Are we all just
meaner than we used to be? Have we al-

tive pay was figured not including the extra route incentive. So the administration
decided to take that pay away, pay already
earned, which is illegal per Iowa Labor
and Wages Law 91A.8. We are entitled to
wages earned and such wages cannot be
required to be paid back.
At the May 9, 2016, board meeting after
I finished addressing the board concerning the wage issue, the board president
proceeded to inform me of violations
committed by the Greene shuttle drivers on the afternoon of May 9, 2016. Our
superintendent, the board president and
transportation director witnessed the four
Greene shuttle busses leaving the Allison
bus parking lot without the pre-trip inspections having been performed completely.
According to federal law, anyone knowingly witnessing the completion of a federal violation is required to stop said violation. Failure to act on this violation is also a
federal violation. As superintendent, board
president and transportation director, they
know they are required to act. Mr. Foster
later stated, “It happened so fast, there
wasn’t time to do anything.” The buses
leave the parking lot, go around seven
blocks, then line up in front of the elementary for 10 minutes, loading students. Plus,
all buses are equipped with radios. They
could have been contacted and stopped
during this period. I think there was ample time for (the officials) to have done
something to have prevented this “serious
safety violation” (board president’s words)
from occurring. This was a set-up. The Allison drivers leaving from Greene were
not checked, and the two Allison drivers in
Allison are the transportation director and
another who had been tipped off. They
both did their pre-trips that day.
During the May 9, 2016, board meeting
I informed the board that on that afternoon
I was not driving but had a personal day.
But had I been driving, probably wouldn’t
have done my pre-trip completely either.
We were guilty. We are not denying that.
On Wednesday, May 11, 2016, the bus
drivers were assembled for a meeting with
Mr. Foster where he proceeded to reprimand us for our past errors and basically

taken as representatives of the whole. The
amount of attention we give to outliers is
more of a problem than the outliers themselves. Overreacting to an overreaction
has a multiplicative effect.
Sometimes it’s a matter of laziness.
A couple of Internet trolls decide to lay
out some bait for the media and the next
thing you know “Racist Fans Boycott Star
Wars” is trending across the web. Not
because there was actually a legitimate
movement, but because it’s easier to play
a game of Internet telephone than doing
any investigative legwork.
Other times, it’s a deliberate effort to
push a narrative. When the video games
journalism industry was caught with their
pants down two years ago, sparking the
ongoing Gamergate controversy, they
were quick to label their detractors as sex-

lay down the law, telling us also that the
board wanted us fired. He also admonished us for talking around town, at the
Coffee Bar, and getting “loose-lipped” as
we were out drinking at the bowling alley or uptown at the bar. Really … which
ones of us is he referring to? Mr. Foster
also told us there will be changes in the
way we are being paid come next year
with activity trips being reduced and sitting times going to minimum wage. Why
would anyone take these extra trips? How
many new drivers will be lined up wanting those jobs? What will be the quality of
these drivers?
The four Greene drivers he was referring
to have nearly 80 years of driving experience, have never received an oral reprimand, never received a written reprimand
or any other type of disciplinary action. Mr.
Foster then proceeded to call us individually into the transportation director’s office
where we each received a three-day unpaid
suspension, to be given at their discretion
on the days off they choose. So our days
off have been staggered through the last
two weeks of school. Remember, I didn’t
drive that afternoon. I received my suspension for admitting I probably wouldn’t have
done the pre-trip either. So basically, I’m
suspended for telling the truth.
We are all good drivers, doing this job
because we like the kids and are genuinely
concerned for their safety. There are some
real safety concerns that are being continually swept to the side. We have been basically told that our concerns don’t matter
and we’re unimportant. There is no backing by the administration or our immediate supervisor. It’s really a sad state and a
shame that things have reached this point.
Mr. Foster has reminded us that we can’t
have things the way they were. That’s too
bad because I don’t think things used to be
that bad.
Editor’s note: This is a rebuttal to N.
Butler Superintendent Joel Foster’s piece,
“The facts on bus driver pay,” regarding
this personnel matter, which he sent directly to local newspapers and which the
Tribune-Journal published on Thursday,
May 19.
ists, racists, terrorists, and any other label
they could think of to deflect attention
away from their own failings.
Extreme examples may make for entertaining reading, but they don’t serve well
to represent the whole.
The few Captain America fans that sent
death threats to Nick Spencer don’t represent the people who merely think the idea
is dumb.
The few gamers that sent threats to Sean
Murray are vastly outnumbered by the
ones who expressed sentiments of support
and understanding.
Not all Donald Trump supporters are
racists.
Not all Bernie Sanders supporters are
idiots.
And while plenty of people have their
concerns about the Prestage project, they
should not be collectively represented by
the guy incoherently yelling at the Mason
City Chamber of Commerce about squirrels.
I’m not saying that the outliers aren’t
worthy of notice or discussion, but it’s important to put them in the proper context.
Oddly enough, it seems like the more we
try to lump people together, the more divided we get.
Travis Fischer is a news writer for MidAmerica Publishing and thinks there’s
enough idiocy and hate in the world without manufacturing more.

Clubs & Meetings
Genealogical Society to
tour suffragist’s home,
museum on June 11
Butler County Genealogical Society has been invited to go to the Carrie Lane Chapman Catt Interpretation
Center and Girlhood Home in rural
Charles City at 10 a.m. on Saturday,
June 11.
They will not be meeting at the library in Clarksville.
Ms. Lane Chapman Catt revitalized
the American Woman Suffrage Association and led its successful campaign
to win voting rights for women. In
1930, she founded the League of Women Voters upon ratification of the 19th
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
In 1866, Lucius Lane built a home
for his daughter, Carrie, then age 7, her
brother and mother, south of Charles
City. In 1872 (about age 12) Carrie
asked her mother why she was not
voting in the presidential election like
her father and his hired help. Voting,
she was told, was too important a civic
duty to be left to women. Later, Lane
Chapman Catt recalled this moment as
a turning point.
The home and the center next to it tell
the story of her life on the prairie and
later her fight for suffrage that took her
around the country and abroad.
Follow Highway 188 north of Clarksville 14 miles, then one mile east on
County Road B59 and one-half mile
north on Timber Avenue (gravel).
Members of the Bremer County Genealogical Society will also be in atten-
dance.

Bird Migration Mystery
program slated June 18
Ever wonder why some of your favorite birds disappear during the Winter months? Come join Butler County
Conservation Board Naturalist Intern
Jake Thumann at Heery Woods Nature
Center from 10 – 11 a.m. on Saturday,
June 18 for a Bird Migration Mystery
program. During the program, participants will have the opportunity to learn
some of the reasons many birds native
to Iowa pack up and leave their summer
homes. Bring the whole family for an
introduction on the mysteries of migration for Iowa birds and the chance to
tour the park in search for some of the
birds that call Iowa home for the summer.
Other than the unpredictable winter
weather here in Iowa there are several
other factors that play a part in driving
these beautiful birds out of the state for
the winter months. This program will
provide the chance to learn more about
the habits of these migratory birds and
participants will be given the chance
to spot some of these Iowa birds with
binoculars out on the various trails
throughout Heery Woods State Park.
A limited number of sets of binoculars
will be provided for use, and personal
binoculars are encouraged.
The Bird Migration Mystery program is a free program offered by the
Butler County Conservation Board and
is open to the general public. Families
are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Heery Woods Nature Center is located
at 27887 195th Street near Clarksville.
For more information about the program contact Heery Woods Nature
Center at 319-278-1130.

Science of parenting: Dealing with picky eaters
Many parents worry about what
their children eat — and don’t eat.
However, when parents and children
engage in mealtime battles, nobody
wins. Instead, parents should focus
on preventing power struggles over
food, say the Science of Parenting bloggers from Iowa State University
Extension and Outreach.
“Most kids get plenty of variety
and nutrition in their diet, even if
they don’t want to eat particular
foods,” said Lori Hayungs, a human
sciences specialist in family life.
“But if you’re concerned about
your child’s eating habits, talk to
your health care provider who can
help you review your child’s growth.
Start a ‘food log’ and keep track of
the types and amounts of food your
child eats and share that information
with your healthcare provider as
well,” Hayungs said.
In June, Hayungs and other human
sciences specialists will be blogging
about how to make mealtime fun
rather than a power struggle. They’ll
talk about establishing healthy
food routines and giving kids
opportunities to make their own
food choices. They’ll also discuss
the importance of modeling healthy

Psalm 30:5, 11-12
Pastor Mark Walker
St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church (Vilmar)
For His anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night but joy comes in the morning. You have turned my mourning into
dancing; you have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, so that my soul
may praise You and not be silent. 0 Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
It is a fact that sorrow comes to everyone and can cause us to feel truly awful for
some time. For some sorrow comes in the form of a tragic event, for others sorrow
is a much more regular visitor caused by some internal quirk in their biochemical
makeup. Either way sorrow makes it difficult to carry on with life in a way that
brings joy to the self or to others or sometimes even do what needs to be done.
I have been puzzled at how well some people recover from emotional setbacks
that would have rocked me to the core. I have seen what I can only describe as the
God given gift of resilience and compassion received in the face of great trauma.
It is important to seek the help God offers, whether it be in the form of loving, caring community, words of wisdom from ancient texts such as the Bible or medical
intervention. God has use for your suffering and pain and can use you to care for
others who are in pain with the experience you have gained.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face shine upon
you and be gracious to you. May the Lord look upon you with favor and grant you
peace. Amen

sale of residential lots. Present were Zoning Administrator Mitch Nordmeyer, Engineer John Riherd, Assessor Deb McWhirter, Vern and Nancy

(30) percent of the required rear yard. However, except in a PUD Planned Unit Development
District, nothing in this Ordinance will prohibit
the construction of at least a four hundred and
forty (440) square foot accessory building on a
lot. No accessory building shall be allowed in a
PUD Planned Unit Development District unless
approved in the Development Plan.
Section VII(T). Bulk Requirement. Section
VII(T) is amended to read as follows: All new
buildings shall conform to the building regulations established herein for the district in which
each building shall be located. Further, no existing buildings shall be enlarged, reconstructed,
structurally altered, converted, or relocated in

which such buildings shall be located.
Minimum bulk requirements by district are
listed in Table 1. For the PUD Planned Unit Development District the bulk requirements are as
set out in the approved Development Plan.
III.
Planned Unit Development District
A. Intent: The PUD Planned Unit Development District is intended and designed to
provide a means for the development and
redevelopment of a tract or tracts of ground
more flexible and diversified than the single lot
method provided in the other districts of this Ordinance. It is further the intent of this Section
that the basic principles of good land use planning, including an orderly relationship between
various types of uses, be maintained. Since it
is the intent to permit flexibility of design and
combination of land uses in the PUD Planned
Unit Development District, exceptions to provisions found in this Ordinance, other than in this
Section, are hereby made for the PUD Planned
Unit Development District.
A PUD Planned Unit Development District
may consist of a mix of land uses. The size
of the tract or tracts of land combined in a
Planned Unit Development District must equal
at least ten (10) acres. The permitted uses;
bulk requirements; and water, sewer, and utility
requirements shall be as established in the approved Development Plan.
B. The owners of land wishing to have land
zoned PUD Planned Unit Development District
and to have a Development Plan approved for
such land must submit to the Butler County
Planning and Zoning Commission a Development Plan for the use and development of the
entire tract of land, which plan is referred to in
this Ordinance as the Development Plan. The
Development Plan shall include the following
items:
1. A plat map of sufficient scale that
shows the boundaries of the tract or tracts and
the zoning of properties located within a 1,000
feet of the tract or tracts.
2. Dimensions, legal descriptions, acreage, existing zoning, existing land use, and
existing ownership of the area proposed for
the PUD Planned Unit Development District, as
well as the existing zoning, land use, and ownership of property contiguous to the proposed
PUD Planned Unit Development District.
3. Delineation of lot boundaries, if any
boundaries, that will be part of the PUD Planned
4. The location and dimensions of existing and proposed streets, driveways, walkways,
trails, open spaces, parking areas, indicating
which are public and which are private.
5. Proposed location for all uses and
conceptional building locations, functions, and
enclosed floor space.
6. Existing and proposed vegetation, water channels, drainage ways, flood hazard areas, and other topographical information to assist in the approval of the developmental plan.
7. Proposed privately owned common areas and areas to be dedicated to the public.
8. Locations and information on existing
and proposed utilities to serve the PUD uses,
including sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water,
electric, and other utilities.
9. Existing or planned storm management facilities.
10. Delineation of traffic impacts that are
projected to result from the PUD Development
and proposals for managing these impacts.
11. Rules, regulations, and guidelines that
will apply to the use of the PUD.
C. Review and approval. The Planning and
Zoning Commission shall review the Development Plan for conformity with the PUD Planned
Unit Development District standards and with
recognized principles of civic design, land use
planning, and landscape architecture. The
Planning and Zoning Commission shall consult with the applicant about any recommended modifications, alterations, or adjustments
to the Development Plan that the Commission
deems necessary to preserve the intent of the
PUD Planned Unit Development District, and
to promote public health, safety, morals, and
general welfare. The submission provided for
in this section shall be considered a petition for
rezoning to the PUD Planned Unit Development
District and the Planning and Zoning Commission shall hold a public hearing as required for
such a petition. Following the public hearing,
if approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Development Plan shall be filed
with the Board of Supervisors. The Supervisors
following the public hearing required in Section
XXII of the Butler County Zoning Ordinance for
an amendment, change, modification, or repeal
of the regulations, restrictions, zoning designation, and boundaries in the Butler County
Zoning Ordinance may approve the Development Plan, refer the development plan back to
the Planning and Zoning Commission with the
Board’s suggestions and recommendations,
or disapprove the Development Plan. If disapproved, the Board must include in its decision
specific reasons for disapproval based on the
County’s then existing land use and development ordinances, policies, rules, and regulations. If the Development Plan is approved, it
shall be recorded along with the County’s approval in the Butler County Recorder’s office.
The cost of recording shall be paid by the persons who have applied for the PUD Planned
D. Amendment. Any amendment to the approved Development Plan shall be treated as
an application for a new PUD Planned Unit Development District.
IV.
In the event any portion of this Ordinance
shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby
and shall continue to be valid and enforceable
and if, for any reason, a court finds that any
provision of this Ordinance is invalid, illegal,
or unenforceable as written, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid, legal
and enforceable then such provision shall be
deemed to be written, construed and enforced
as so limited.
Upon Roll Call the vote thereon is as follows:
AYES: Tom Heidenwirth, Rex Ackerman, Rusty
Eddy; NAYS: None

and consistent burn. When coals are ready, arrange
a two-zone fire. Replace grate, allow it to heat up and
use tongs to brush with an oil-soaked paper towel.
2. Before placing on the grill, allow steak to sit 30
minutes at room temperature. Trim excess fat to avoid
flare-ups. Liberally apply salt and pepper. Flip and repeat.
3. Place steak at the hottest part of the grate, directly
above coals and sear 2-3 minutes, then flip and repeat.
Don’t move the steak, as this will prevent optimal grill
marks. Close the lid to prevent flare-ups.
4. After searing, move steak to the warm side of the
grate, close the lid and continue to cook until desired

Prep time: 15 minutes, plus 2-12 hours for marinade
Cook time: 10 minutes | Servings: 6
Ingredients:
2 flank steaks (approximately 2
pounds each)
1/4 cup thyme, freshly minced
2 tablespoons tarragon, freshly
minced
2 tablespoons black pepper, coarsely ground
1 tablespoon rosemary, freshly

doneness. You don’t need to flip the steak during this
indirect grilling stage.
5. Using a digital instant-read meat thermometer,
check the temperature of the steak while it’s still on the
grill (125 F for rare, 135 F medium-rare, 145 F medium, 150 F medium well and 160 F for well done). Remember, steak will continue to cook after it’s removed
from the grill.
6. Place steak on cutting board, loosely cover with
aluminum foil and allow it to rest 5 minutes before
serving.

North Butler
outlasts N-K
NORTHWOOD – It took extras, but
the North Butler baseball team notched
its second baseball victory of the season, a 4-3 win at Northwood-Kensett
on Thursday, June 2.
Dalton Nelson was 2-for-4 and drove
in a pair of runs in the nine-inning win
for coach Travis Miller’s team.
The Bearcats had to rally, facing a 3-1
deficit in the top of the seventh, getting
a pair runs to extend it to extras.
It made a winner of Brandon Reiher,
who also went 2-for-2 at the plate and
scored two runs.
It also took Kendrick Miller off of the
hook after giving up all three runs in
the third inning as the Vikings took the
temporary lead. Only one of the runs
was earned, however.

printing division that offers customized printing and publishing solutions
such as banners, posters, postcards, direct mailing, mailing list management,
letter head design, newsletter management and dozens of other marketing
and promotional products which it
plans to make available locally in the
Holstein area.
Effective immediately, several major changes are in store for the publications.
The Advance’s supplemental shopper, the AdVantage, has been discontinued and merged with the Reminder

inside the Reminder. The Advance

ensure timely delivery to our readers.

company’s home office in Hampton
effective immediately. The printing of
the newspaper will also move to the
Hampton facility and a website for the
newspaper will be launched within a
few weeks. The newspaper will have a
new email address, holsteinadvance@
gmail.com, effective immediately. The
paper will retain its current mailing address.
To reach the office, please call the
Ida Grove location at 712-364-3131

week and will be available at the Holstein Super Market and Pronto locations on Tuesday mornings prior to 12
noon.
Also, effective immediately, fees for
publication of full obituaries will be
$50 and run in both the Courier and
Advance.
On the paper size the paper will
transition to a slightly wider format,
expanding from a 25.5-inch web to a
28-inch web format.
The format also reflects the width of

will allow the customer to seamlessly

Zoning items pass
supervisors’ approval
Mira Schmitt-Cash
Editor
The Butler County Board of Supervisors
approved signing off on a subdivision request
by Russ Miller to go near New Hartford at its
May 24 meeting.
Miller had asked to subdivide approximately
25 acres on Butler Avenue, New Hartford to
allow for the sale of residential lots.
One comment was made at the public hearing specifying what sort of home value the
person, a neighbor, would like to see in the
subdivision covenant.
“When it comes to a covenant for a subdivision, we (the county) have absolutely nothing
we can enforce,” Zoning Administrator Mitch
Nordmeyer said. The county’s job is to enforce
its zoning ordinance, and a covenant falls outside of that purview.
No one was present to discuss the addition of
a planned unit development ordinance.
With the ordinance approved, “even so, this
doesn’t open the door for any specific project
to start,” Nordmeyer said. To proceed, a developer would still have to present plans to
Planning and Zoning Commission, and there
would still be public hearings with Planning
and Zoning and the Board of Supervisors.
Something the PUD ordinance changes is,
“Until we had this ordinance, you couldn’t
build a condo in a rural area,” Nordmeyer said.
Many towns are running out of room in city
limits, he said.
As zoning administrator, he sees many people interested in property in Butler County.
“That’s nice to see,” Nordmeyer said. “You
never know.”

200 Ostfriesens gathered for annual German Ethnic Meal
On Saturday evening, June 4, more than
200 members and friends of the area’s Ostfriesen Heritage Society met at the Grundy Center
Community Center to enjoy some fun, fellowship, and German Food at their annual ethnic
meal event.
The German comfort food brought back
memories for those attending.
The evening included musical entertainment
provided by the mother-daughter team of Jeanie
and Jan Conrads from Cedar Falls, and a photo-
graphic tour of Ostfriesland, including photos of
the 2015 Student Exchange Program between
the Pewsum, Germany School and the Grundy
Center Community School.
A special guest attended the event from Ostfriesland. Helmut Fischer from Norden, Germany, a familiar face to members of the Club
over the past 20 years, surprised the group by his
attendance.
He finished the evening’s program by showing a 1936 film titled “Fischerkinder au der Nor-

that had recently been digitized by a historical
group in Ostfriesland. The film was about the

It was a very good film, telling about the Ostfriesen Heritage of many of the Club members’
