Racers rev up library
Pat Racette
[email protected]
Area racecar drivers Phil Barnett,
Jeremy Johnson and Edward Johnson showed up at the Allison Public Library for Racing and Reading
last Wednesday, kicking off the six-
week fall reading program.
Randy Johnson brought Edward’s
No. 118 stock car, and Jeremy Johnson and Barnett transported their
No. 18 cruiser racecar in front of the
library.
A total of 72 young racing fans
and 25 adults checked out the cars
and found out more about the drivers.
“It was a great turnout,” said organizer Patty Hummel, library director. “It was a good way to start the
fall reading program. We’re always
hunting for ideas to make the books
come to life for children.
Butler sees over $450K in state
funding for property tax relief
Butler County is receiving
$458,702.09 for 2013, as part of the
property tax reduction bill.
According to Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds’
released data from the Iowa Department of Revenue, Butler is getting
$156,758.18 in state back-fill funding, and taxpayers are collecting
$301,943.91 in credits.
The funding to Iowa counties is
part of Senate File 295, which Branstad signed into law on June 12, 2013.
“As a former county treasurer who
had the unenviable job of collecting
taxes, I’m pleased to see that the reforms we put in place are being fulfilled and local governments are able
to pass the savings on to the taxpayers,” said Reynolds. “For too long, lo-
“We’re definitely planning on doing a racing event again next year.”
APL will have fall reading program events the next four Wednesdays, including the Eulenspiegel
Puppet Theatre Company coming
to perform Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.
Hummel’s been working a few
years to get the puppeteers here.
Also, legendary Allison Cats baseball players are slated to come one
of the latter Wednesdays (Oct. 15,
22 or 29), handing out baseball
cards and bringing back the rich history they had in town.
District general fund goes further into
red, will head back to SBRC in December
cal governments grew skeptical of the
state meeting its funding obligations,
but Gov. Branstad and I are committed to continuing to honor our word
and passing responsible budgets.”
According to Butler Assessor Deb
McWhirter, property tax bills this
year will reap the benefits if they applied for the relief before Jan. 15.
The credit doubles for 2014, but
McWhirter said the impact depends
on how many more property owners
apply this year compared to last year.
The tax relief package benefits for
taxpayers, includes:
• Permanent property tax relief
protected by a standing appropriation, representing $4.4 billion over
10 years.
• Property tax reduction for agricul
Iowa school finance can be relatively complicated.
Several different funds may
only be used for certain areas.
For instance, the Physical Plant
and Equipment Levy, which is
up for renewal Dec. 2 on a special election, is not a new tax; it’s
just a renewal of the levy with no
changes to the rate.
This fund is used for infrastructure, maintaining and improving
buildings and grounds, purchasing or leasing of equipment and
technology purchases when the
unit is over $500 in price.
We also receive funds from the
Statewide Schools Infrastructure
Sales and Services tax, which is
the one-cent sales tax on purchases that comes back to the schools.
We use these funds in the same
way as the PPEL.
We are currently looking at improve our bus fleet through the
use of these funds.
The general fund is the area that
North Butler has struggled with in
the past several years. It’s the area
where most of operating costs are
from, including utilities, fuel, bus
repairs and employees’ salaries
(the largest chunk).
Salaries and benefits take up
around 75 percent of the general
fund. At the end of fiscal year
2013, the school district had a
unspent balance (school finance
term for being over credit card
limit) of -$43,616. At the end of
fiscal year 2014, which ended
June 30, the unspent balance went
further into the red at -$267,398.
We are in the process of discussing with staff ways to work together and correct the unspent balance.

The Butler County Republicans
are hosting a fall event in support of
Shawn Dietz for Iowa Senate with
guest speaker U.S. Senator Chuck
Grassley, on Monday, Oct. 6th, 2014 at
the Greene Community Center, located
at 202 W South St. in Greene. Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kauffman will act as Master of Ceremonies.
Iowa House Majority Leader, Linda
Upmeyer, along with other local, state
and national candidates or their representatives will also be present.
A program entitled, “Broad Stripes
and Bright Stars: ‘The Star-Spangled
Banner’ at 200 years”, will be presented by Laura Severs of Clarksville.
A native Butler County farmer, U.S.
Senator Chuck Grassley has served
Iowa on the state and national level. He
has made Iowans and their concerns a
top priority in his decades of civic service.
DISTRICT from page 1
It is against the law for a school district to overspend its budget. When a
district overspends its Maximum Authorized Budget, basically set by the
state, it must then build a corrective
action plan and go before the School
Budget Review Committee.
North Butler’s Board of Education
and previous administration went to
SBRC last year, after building a CAP.
This year, we’ll be doing the same in
December.
According to Iowa Code 257.31, subsection 18,
If a school district exceeds its authorized
budget or carries a negative unspent
Shawn Dietz, of Hampton, has lived
in Iowa’s 27th Senate District most of
his life. Experience in various jobs,
including radio, and municipal government, and concern for the welfare of
future Iowans has led him to seek this
position on the state level.
Laura Severs’ program on the StarSpangled Banner will include a selection of music and readings. In these
troubled times in our nation, she hopes
to remind citizens of just what our flag
and freedoms have cost, and of those
willing to pay that price, and renew our
national hopes in what we have been,
and what we still could be.
A special invitation is extended to all
veterans.

Monica Vernon, Democratic Candidate for Lieutenant Governor, will be
the keynote speaker at a dinner in Allison on October 12.

speeches and a short auction.
State Senator Amanda Ragan will

Highway 3 plus Madison and Washington townships in SW Butler County.
Scott Brennan, State Chair of the
Democratic Party in Iowa, will attend

candidates will attend but their sched-
ules are not confirmed yet.
The theme of this year’s dinner is
Paint the County Blue, according
to County Democratic Chair, David

Butler Conservation
Board to hold
fire-making program
Fire is one of the most useful basic
skills for survival. It gives off heat and
provides a way to cook and feel secure.
Give a person matches or a lighter,
and most will be able to start a fire. But,
take them away and it becomes a different story.
Butler County Conservation Board
is holding a free basic fire-making program at Heery Woods Nature Center
Saturday, Oct. 11, at 10 a.m.
Participants will learn three different
methods to start a fire without matches
(bow and drill, flint and steel and magnifying glass), how to make char cloth
catch spark and gather needed materials. The program is expected to last one
hour. Dress for the weather. An adult
must accompany children under 14.
For more information, contact Steve

BUTLER COUNTY
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
The Butler County Genealogical
Society will meet at the Clarksville Library at 10 a.m. on Saturday, October
11.
The program will be, “The Pilgrims
are Coming!” a presentation about the
Separatists (Pilgrims) who came to the
North American continent in 1620 to
escape religious persecution in England! They landed on Plymouth Rock
on the Atlantic seacoast in Massachusetts. Linda Cassman-Randall, a direct
descendant of a passenger on the Mayflower (the ship that brought the Pilgrims across the Atlantic Ocean), will
explain how it all happened almost 400
years ago. She is the Deputy Governor
General of the Iowa Society of the Descendants of the Mayflower and has
just returned from the National meeting
of the group in Plymouth, Mass. She
will have many stories and much history about United States beginnings and
how and why the Pilgrims are involved
with the start of Thanksgiving.......the
public are especially invited to come!
One out of every 13 American citizens could probably prove their lineage
back to a passenger on that Mayflower
trip in 1620.
Come and investigate the possibility!

Bandanas/scarves
It’s the simple things in life that
make me happy.
Like all the bandanas I purchase
for $1 apiece. They are also known
as scarves, I found out recently.
Though I may have a bandana obsession, what makes them so polarizing to some?
Why do you wear bandanas?
You look like a skinny, aunt Jemima.
Take that bandana off.
He looks like a hoodlum.
It’s funny how such a simple piece
of fabric can get such reactions and
remarks. Personally, I want to shout,
get over it haters. I want to say, have
you ever worn one? Don’t knock until you’ve tried it.
Bandanas/scarves are so very versatile. The uses are too numerous
to count. I wrap ice cubes into one,
then put it around my head to cool
myself off during outdoor work. Or,
I’ll use it for a Kleenex. My daughter
liked it to grasp. They’re perfect for
rags.
Bandanas test ya too. Like a magic
scarf, they can be worn differently
every time. Hello fashion. Maybe I
feel blue today, so guess what color
of bandana I’ll be choosing.
My path to bandanaland began as
a child. I got a red bandana, learned
how to tie it around my head, and
suddenly thought they are better
than hats. And despite some negative remarks and comments throughout the years, it’s our freedom as
Americans to do so. I love wearing
my Red, White and Blue bandana,
and showing my appreciation for
the country I love that way. Call it
my freak flag, but what’s wrong with
flying it proudly?
During all this bandana/scarf talk,
I’ve come up with a little ditty based
on one of John Lennon’s songs, Give
Peace a Chance. Here it goes.
Everybody’s talking about
Football, football – fantasy, college, NFL, tailgates and winners;
talking about Minnesota, Miami,
Baltimore, Loiusianna and even
Cincinatti
But all I am saying, is give bandanas a chance
Yes, all I am saying, is give bandanas a chance
People be talking about magic,
mavericks, food palettes, judges and
madness; Been hearing stuff like robots, flying burritos, movies, history
and nothingness
But all I am saying, is give bandanas a chance
Yeah, all I am saying, is give bandanas a chance
Home Country

We can blame it all on watermelon
and pumpkin pie. Both are delicious
and American, and both come from
gourds. That’s the problem, you see.
Cooks all over the world therefore
think that other gourds can be made edible, too.
Gourds, for example, like squash.
Squash. One of the English language’s most painful words, along with
maim and trauma and rend and okra
and Liberace. Why would anyone want
to eat something that sounds as though
someone sat on it?
The bottom-line truth is, cooks all
over the place love a challenge, and
they have tried valiantly to turn squash
into an edible dish. To do this, they take
one tenth of a portion of squash, boil
as much of the squashiness as they can
out of it, then immerse it in nine-tenths
something that tastes good and hope no
one will notice. You know, stuff like
chile, mutton, edible vegetables, nuclear waste, cottonwood bark and even
chocolate. Then, when you can’t taste
the squash in it, and most of the slime
has settled to the bottom, they smile
and say,
How do you like my ‘Squash Canneloni ala Hershey con Brio?”
They even try to fool people who
might consider buying squash into
thinking it tastes like something else.
Something like butter. Or acorns. Or
crooked necks. Hey, I’ll take a crooked
neck over a squash any day.
Makes you wonder what crime
against mankind Mr. Zucchini committed to be forever more squash-damned
in the history books.
et’s face it; squash is an unwanted
growth on an otherwise perfectly good
vine. It starts with a pretty little blossom
that inspires Navajo jewelry and attracts bees. Then it begins its insidious
malignancy into something that should
probably be surgically removed.
But it’s fall now. Autumn, that time
of year when children play in the lazy
sunshine and squash vines go belly up.
And when we enjoy our pumpkin pie
and jack o’lanterns, we’ll smile quietly,
knowing we’ll once again be squash
free for a few blessed months.

Is U.S. Senate Debate Legal?
Four candidates for Iowa’s vacant United States Senate seat placed
a full page ad in the Simpsonian, appealing to the general public to demand truth and transparency in U.S.
Senate debate that was recently held
on the Simpson College campus in
Indianola.
The ad asserted Simpson as a victim of political and media manipulation, and calls the debate no more
than political theater staged by Republican and Democratic parties.
The Federal Election Commission
requires that pre-established objective criteria be used for selection of
candidates for participation in debates.
“In the absence of these criteria,”
said Independent Rick Stewart,
one of the four excluded candidates, “these so-called debates are
illegal, pure and simple. Today is
Thursday [Sept. 25] and the debate
is on Sunday [Sept. 28], and nobody
has seen those criteria. Why not?”
Stewart invited reporters and the
public to Google 11 CFR 110.13(c)
and read the law for themselves, saying the language is short and clear.
“One sentence is all you need to
know,” he says. “Four little words
- ‘pre-established objective criteria.’ If you can’t show them to me,
I have to assume they weren’t used,
and that my exclusion from the debates is arbitrary. Perhaps if I, too,
had spent over $400,000 on advertising with KCCI, the sponsoring TV
station, I would have satisfied their
objective criteria?”
The group also announced a Facebook group called Simpson DEMANDS and a Twitter handle @
SimpsonDEMANDS. They are asking supporters of truth and transparency to post a selfie holding a copy
of the ad, which says, I make a difference.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey
DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of
Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa crop progress
and condition report released by the
USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released
weekly from April through October.
“Crops continue to advance towards maturity and farmers are just
starting to harvest both corn and
beans as conditions allow. As more
farmers start harvest it is important
everyone working on the farm and
driving through rural Iowa keep
safety in mind to help make sure we
have safe and successful harvest season,” Northey said.
The weekly report is also available

Everywhere we look these days we see people trying to find meaning in
their lives. They’re trying to attach themselves to something bigger than
them, something that will give their lives purpose.
On Sept. 21 more than 300,000 people marched in New York City in an
event dubbed “The People’s Climate March.” The event was designed to
draw attention to global warming.
What could have more meaning than saving the planet?
A few weeks ago a skunk caused a big stink by getting his head caught in
an aluminum beer can near a fraternity house on the Miami University campus in Oxford, Ohio. An animal control officer bravely removed the beer can
without getting sprayed.
The event prompted the People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals
(PETA) to mail the university a stack of posters which urge people to crush
aluminum cans and prevent such near disasters.
Protecting defenseless animals; a noble cause.
However, saving the earth or saving the animals is a small cause to live for
compared to living for the One who created them. God created us to love
Him and to serve Him. There is no greater purpose in life than in devoting
ourselves to God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ, who gave His life on
the cross to suffer the punishment we deserve for our sins.
God designed us to serve Him. Anything less than commitment to God
through Jesus Christ will result in a life void of real purpose.
Jesus said “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk
in darkness, but will have the light of life.” We can find the light of life only
through a personal relationship with Jesus. In the end, everything else falls
short. Jesus told His followers;
“I have come that you may have life and have it abundantly.” Satisfaction
in life doesn’t come from driving a hybrid car or crushing aluminum cans
so skunks don’t get their heads stuck. True satisfaction comes from knowing
Jesus as Lord and savior.
A friend of mine is finishing the last three months of a 14-month prison
sentence for a variety of drug and theft charges. This guy has spent 32 of his
54 years in prisons. While waiting to be sentenced, he and I began a Bible
study in the Butler County Jail. During the last 11 months in prison, he has
devoted himself to worship and Bible study. The transformation is amazing.
The gaunt, spooky look that dominated his face is gone. He has a sense of
peace about him that can come from only one Source. He has discovered a
life committed to Jesus Christ is far better than a life controlled by drugs and
crime.
The Apostle Paul was once a wealthy, prominent Jewish scholar and teacher. He mercilessly persecuted Christians. But then he met Jesus. And everything else paled by comparison. “Yes, everything else is worthless when
compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,” he wrote
in the Bible.
There is no relationship, no cause, no pursuit in this life of greater value
than knowing Christ Jesus as Lord and savior.

Marva
Jean Schellhorn
Marva Jean Schellhorn, age 78, of Clarksville, was born the daughter of
Werner and Hulda (Nolte) Westendorf on November 7, 1935, in Sumner,
Iowa. She was baptized November 24, 1935 at Buck Creek. Marva received
her education at Buck Creek Country
School.
On December 21, 1953, Marva was
united in marriage to Orlyn L. Schellhorn at St. John’s Lutheran Church
in Sumner. They made their home at
Grove Hill and later moved to Waterloo. Marva worked at various jobs
outside the home and was also a loving homemaker. In 1974, they moved
to Clarksville and opened Orly’s
Locker. Marva and Orly worked side
by side with their children until 2001
when they sold the locker and retired.
Marva was a member of St. John’s
Lutheran Church in Clarksville. She
enjoyed dancing to old country music
and polkas, playing cards and traveling. Marva loved cooking and was known state-wide for her delicious potato
salad. Marva’s greatest joy was spending time with her family, and especially watching her grandchildren play sports and participate in concerts.
Marva died Tuesday, September 23, 2014, at the Clarksville Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. She was preceded in death by her parents;
one sister, Leona Wedemeier and two sons-in-law, Richard Weber and Bruce
Stephan.
Marva is survived by her husband of 60 years, Orlyn of Clarksville; two
sons, Daryl (Debby) Schellhorn and Kevin Schellhorn both of Clarksville;
three daughters, Diane Weber Stephan of Reinbeck, Connie (Ray) Petersen
of Clarksville and Linda (Joe) Wedeking of Clarksville; 13 grandchildren;
two great-grandchildren; two sisters, Helen McClain of Vinton and Joyce
(Jack) Gitch of Sumner.
Funeral services were held Friday, September 26, 2014, at the St. John
Lutheran Church in Clarksville with Rev. Charles Underwood officiating.
Sharon Leerhoff accompanied the congregation singing “In the Garden,”
“Precious Lord, Take My Hand” and “Abide With Me.” The Casketbearers
where Kyle Weber, Chad Weber, Mark Schellhorn, Tyler Schellhorn, James
Schellhorn, Duane Wedemeier and Dwight Wedemeier. Interment was held
at the Lyn-wood cemetery in Clarksville, Iowa.
Memorials maybe directed to the family of Marva Schellhorn.
Redman-Schwartz Funeral Home in Clarksville is in charge of arrangements.

Yard and Garden:
Properly Overwintering Geraniums
It’s Never Easy
Although the calendar says we are
officially in “fall”, temperatures in
the upper 70’s have us still thinking
“summer”!
Of course, fall brings harvest and it
seems like the last five harvests have
each brought different concerns to
the forefront. The 2014 harvest will
prove no different.
According to the USDA, corn
yield projections are 185 bu/acre
and soybean yields are 51.0 bu/acre;
both are forecast to hit record levels
in production.
I have had the opportunity to listen
to Dr. Chad Hart numerous times in
the past year and all of his “projections” have been spot on.
While crops were hitting record
high prices, livestock was nosediving. Now, the two seem to have reversed. Hart’s prediction of cost of
production being higher than price
per bushel for corn is about to be
fulfilled. Hart set production cost per
bushel of corn at $4.50 and the elevators I checked with for prices in
October quoted under $3 per bushel.
A similar trend will be seen in soybeans.
So, what’s a farmer to do? It is going to be pretty hard to justify the
rent that farmers have been paying
the last several years with these discrepancies.
Dr. Charles R. Hurburgh, Jr., a pro-
fessor at Iowa State University, stated that these warm temperatures and
adequate moisture during grain fill in
corn will result in well-filled kernels.
This will result in high test weight
and means above average storage
properties. Hurburgh believes a considerable amount of corn harvested
this fall will need to be carried over
not just in 2015 but through 2016.
He reminds producers not to mix
2014 corn, with good storage properties, with 2013 corn which did not
have good storage properties. His
suggestion is to find your fields or
hybrids with the highest test weights
and place corn harvested in those
fields in long-term storage bins.
He also foresees heavy traffic to
grain elevators in the late season as
grain storage on farms fills up, so
he advises farmers to move some of
their early harvested corn to town to
avoid this as much as possible.
No one ever said farming was
easy. As the daughter of a farmer,
the wife of a farmer and the mother
of a farmer, I know first-hand that
this is so true! The decisions farmers will need to make this year will
have consequences for several years
to come. Check out resources on the
www.extension.iastate.edu web site
to help you make those critical decisions!
Family Living
As fall arrives and the leaves begin to change, we are reminded that
it won’t be long until the first frost
hits and winter arrives. We all have
outdoor plants, but many of us wonder about the best way to treat them
to survive winter. How should you
handle your geraniums to make sure
they last through winter to thrive
next spring?
Here are some tips from Iowa
State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists on overwintering geraniums. To have additional
questions answered, contact the ISU
Hortline at 515-294-3108 or [email protected].
How can I overwinter geraniums indoors?
Geraniums can be overwintered
indoors by potting up individual
plants, taking cuttings or storing
bare-root plants in a cool, dry location. Remove plants from the garden
(or take cuttings) prior to the first fall
frost.
How do you overwinter geraniums
as potted plants?
Before the first fall frost, carefully
dig up plants growing in the ground
and place in large containers. Water each plant thoroughly. Plants
growing in containers can simply
be brought indoors. Place the geraniums in a sunny window or under
artificial lighting. Geraniums prefer
cool indoor temperatures.
Daytime temperatures of 65 to 70
degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler night temperatures are ideal. During their stay indoors, water plants
when the potting soil becomes dry.
Geraniums are likely to become tall
and lanky by late winter. In March,
prune back the plants. Cut back the
geraniums by one-half to two-thirds.
The geraniums will begin to grow
again within a few days and should
develop into nice specimens by May.
How do I take geranium cuttings?
Using a sharp knife, take three- to
five-inch stem cuttings from the terminal ends of the shoots. Pinch off
the lower leaves, then dip the base
of each cutting in a rooting hormone.
Stick the cuttings into a rooting medium of vermiculite or a mixture of
perlite and sphagnum peat moss.
Pots and flats with drainage holes in
the bottom are suitable rooting containers.
Insert the cuttings into the medium
just far enough to be self-supporting.
After all the cuttings are inserted,
water the rooting medium. Allow
the medium to drain for a few minutes, then place a clear plastic bag or
dome over the cuttings to prevent the
foliage from wilting. Finally, place
the cuttings in bright light, but not
direct sunlight. The cuttings should
root in six to eight weeks. When the
cuttings have good root systems,
remove them from the rooting medium and plant each rooted cutting
in its own container. Place the potted
plants in a sunny window or under
artificial lighting until spring.
How do you overwinter geraniums
as bare-root plants?
Carefully dig up the geraniums before the first fall frost. Shake the soil
from the plant’s roots. Then place
one or two plants in a large paper
sack and store in a cool (45 to 55
degree Fahrenheit), dry location. An
unheated bedroom or indoor porch
might be a suitable location.
Tricks and Treats to Stay on Budget this Halloween
(StatePoint) Halloween comes but
once a year. So make it extra spooky
with ghosts, goblins and ghouls galore
-- and don’t forget all the great treats.
While all this fall fun does come at a
price, you don’t have to spend a pirate’s
booty if you plan carefully.
For more treats than tricks this year,
make a budget and stick to it. The shopping experts at Dollar General are sharing great ways to celebrate Halloween
affordably.
Clean Up
Before the trick-or-treaters are at your
door, spruce up your house with a few
household cleaning supplies. Stock up
on paper towels to use for clean-up after pumpkin carving, or pick up a new
broom for all those fall leaves that are
bound to make their way into your
house. These fall months lead right into
the holiday party season, so make sure
you have all the tools you need to be
party ready for your guests!
Decorations
Give your home a fresh fall update.
Evoke the harvest season in the entryway with an autumn wreath. Buy one
or DIY the project with supplies like
glue guns, ribbons, faux leaves and
flowers. Use seasonal placemats, runners and pumpkin pie scented candles

An alternate method is to hang the
plants upside down in a cool, dry location. The foliage and the shoot tips
will eventually die. In March, prune
or cut back each plant. Remove all
shriveled, dead material. Prune back
to firm, green, live stem tissue. After
pruning, pot up the plants and water
thoroughly. Place the potted geraniums in a sunny window or under
artificial lighting. Geraniums that are
pruned and potted in March should
develop into nice looking plants that
can be planted outdoors in May.

Cold weather riding tips for bikers Key to cooking
The arrival of cooler temperatures means motorcycle enthusiasts
should have a plan in place for their
vehicles. Although fall sees many
riders pack their bikes into the garage to wait out the winter, many
others see no reason to quit the great
outdoors just because colder weather
is on the way.
No matter which path riders take
and when they take it, preparation is
essential when riding motorcycles.
Here are a few pointers for riders to
consider once the leaves have started
to change color.
Layer up
Layering clothing is a key component of riding a motorcycle in colder
temperatures. Many people are not
very active on the back of a bike, so
they will not generate enough heat
on their own. Layering clothing will
take the bite out of frosty winds and
any precipitation that happens to be
falling.
Layer clothing so that you will feel
comfortable, maybe even a bit warm
when you are just standing around
outdoors. A first layer of thermal
or fleece is a good idea. Then layer
other materials as needed for comfort. Just do not wear so many layers
that your mobility is compromised.
If layers are not keeping you warm
enough, invest in heated clothing.
The outermost layer you wear
Riders should exercise caution when riding motorcycles in late autumn and winter.
should be weather- and wind-resistant. Wind chill can quickly sap your
energy and cut your ride considerably. Leather clothing will fit the bill
in most cases, but a rain suit or some
other waterproof material also may
be necessary at times.
Leaves
Leaves can be a significant hazard
to riders in the fall. Damp leaves can
make a slippery mess of roads, particularly on turns and curves.
Avoid all piles of leaves, as you
do not know what may be hiding
beneath them. Consider wet leaves
as dangerous as black ice, as soggy
leaves can be just as slippery.
Salt and sand
Road maintenance crews will use
sand and salt to keep roads clear
when snow and ice forms. Avoid
riding on salty roads because the salt
can corrode chrome and paint. If you
choose to do any winter riding, ap-
ply a coat of wax to all parts of the
motorcycle before going for a ride.
This will help protect it and enable
any salt to be easily wiped off after
riding.
Standing water
If it rains or snows lightly after
an extended period of dryness, oils
in the road can come to the surface,
making roads quite slick. In addition, stay on the lookout for puddles
and other standing water. While motorcycle tires are good for displacing
water, they still can hydroplane. Stay
focused when riding on wet surfaces.
Foraging animals
One potential hazard riders may
not consider is wildlife. Harvested
crops reduce easy food sources, and
animals may be on the move looking
for food. Deer can be pushed out of
fields by hunters. A collision with a
deer can damage a car, never mind
a motorcycle. Always use caution in
rural areas, particularly at dawn and
dusk.
Winterizing
If you choose to store your bike
when the weather starts to get cold,
remember to put a fuel stabilizer in
the tank, fill the tank with gas and
hook the battery up to a battery tender. This will ensure the bike is ready
to hit the road when the temperatures
warm up. FC14A573
Oktoberfest can be a party for all ages
Revelers look forward to Oktoberfest for various reasons. Great food,
abundant drinks and festive music
entertain the masses come Oktoberfest, so it’s no surprise that this
German-inspired tradition is popular
the world-over. While Oktoberfest
is often thought of as an adults-only
celebration, parts of the party can be
modified to make the event more inclusive of younger guests.
Oktoberfest is the world’s longest
fair, running for sixteen days from
late September to the first weekend
in October. More than six million
people from around the world attend
the event in Munich, Germany, each
year. Smaller Oktoberfest parties are
held elsewhere, and the theme can
be an interesting one for individuals
who want to enjoy a harvest party
that does not involve Halloween and
costumes.
Including children in Oktoberfest
celebrations is relatively easy. All
you need to do is offer activities that
do not involve alcoholic beverages.
Try these ideas to get started.
Stein relay
Both adults and children can participate in this event, as long as party
hosts can keep track of the beverages inside the steins. Adults can use
beer, while kids’ cups can be filled
Oktoberfest festivities are a fun theme for early autumn entertaining. By varying the activities, participants young and old can enjoy
themselves.
✁ CLIP & SAVE
with apple cider or root beer. Participants take chances running their
filled steins over to a serving tray
and then carrying back the full tray
without spilling. If any beverages
are spilled, the person has to take a
drink and then return to have the cup
refilled. The team whose members
all complete the race first is declared
the winner.

Anamosa Pumpkinfest
& Ryan Norlin GIANT Pumpkin Weigh-Off
Saturday,
October 4, 2014
Anamosa, IA
Autumn is ripe with vibrant colors and scenery. One of the more vivid
sights this time of year are the bright, orange pumpkins that adorn walkways
and front porches of homes and businesses. Not only are pumpkins ideal for
decorating, but they’re also great to eat.
Some people who plan to carve jack-o-lanterns mistakenly believe the
same type of pumpkin can be used in their favorite recipes. But what carving
pumpkins have in visual flair, they usually lack in flavor and substance. Instead, would-be pumpkin cookers should look to other varieties if they plan
to serve pumpkin on the menu.
Pumpkins are available from September through December, but they peak
in October. Many smaller pumpkins are better and sweeter for cooking. Mini
pumpkins, sugar, cheese, and pie pumpkins are varieties commonly used in
recipes. The big jack-o-lantern pumpkins have stringy, watery flesh and will
provide little to no pulp for cooking.
Select a pumpkin as you would any other type of squash. Look for a firm
pumpkin with no bruises or soft spots. The pumpkin also should have a deep
orange color. Store pumpkins in a cool, dark area until ready for use to prolong freshness. Wash the exterior of the pumpkin in cool water before cutting
to remove any dirt and bacteria on the surface of the pumpkin so it won’t be
transferred to the pulp of the pumpkin.
Slice the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and any stringy material.
Rinse and save the seeds for planting or roasting. Put the pumpkin pieces in
the microwave to cook or you can steam or bake them until the pulp is soft
and the pumpkin falls off of the skin. Cool the pumpkins, then puree the pulp
until it’s smooth. You may want to strain the pureed pumpkin with a cheese
cloth to remove any excess water before using in a pie recipe. Baked breads
may benefit from the extra moisture.
Pumpkins are a great source of dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, riboflavin, potassium, copper, manganese, vitamin E, thiamin, niacin, vitamin
B6, folate, iron, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. They’re also low in
fat and calories. Pumpkin puree can replace the oil in some baking recipes,
much as you would use applesauce. TF14A590

Polka freeze dance
If a polka band is part of the festivities, ask them to participate in a
game of freeze dance. Otherwise,
hosts can use prerecorded polka music. Players dance to the music until
it stops, and once it does, they have
to freeze. Anyone who moves after
the music has stopped is “out.” The
last person standing is the winner.
Pretzel-making contest
Have children mold premade
dough (pizza or crescent roll dough)
into the shapes of pretzels. Provide
different toppings, from salt to nuts
to sesame seeds, that kids can use to
adorn their pretzels. The pretzels can
be judged on form and flavor.
Barrel or sack races
Children can participate in races
against the adults to see who has the
most dexterity and speed. Plastic
or wooden barrels can be rolled, or
players can use burlap sacks for races.
Carnival entertainment
Since Oktoberfest is a large fair,
carnival-type activities can make for
a great and appropriate party. Party
hosts can set up dunk tanks, a ring
toss, darts, and food-eating contests
to round out the list of festivities.
Setting aside an area for a dance
floor and hiring a band or deejay are
some additional ways to create a fun
atmosphere.
Oktoberfest is a great opportunity
to gather with friends and family to
enjoy great food and drinks and fun
games. Explore the various ways to
make the party appropriate for guests
of all ages, particularly by including
child-friendly events everyone can
enjoy. TF14A596

North Butler’s boys cross country team poses with the Central Springs team trophy after winning on
Thursday, Sept. 25 at Manly. (Submitted photo)
XC teams bring home 4 medals; team trophy
MANLY – In their final meet before
Homecoming week break, the North
Butler cross country teams ran well
and brought home some nice bling in
the end.
Again Isabel Derdzinski medaled in
another tough girls race this season for
her, bringing home fifth place in a time
of 17:41.
Among the boys, it was a WOW moment for the fans in attendance from
North Butler. North Butler’s navy and
maize runners were well-represented
in the front of the pack, finishing three
runners in the top-six.
Coming in third was Caleb Wedeking
who finished with a time of 17 minutes,
28 seconds.
Just behind Wedeking was Brandon
Heuer, who has been running really
well lately, medaling in fourth place
with a time of 18:19. To round out the
top six, Jerod Ballhagen showed the
two in front he was good for the sixth
place medal in a time of 18:24.
Several other North Butler runners
were not too far behind and in doing so
the varsity boys team brought home the
first place trophy on the night.
The other two runners who helped in
clinching the trophy were Alan Peters
and Chase Adams. Both of these runners completed their race in under 20
minutes.

ACKLEY – North Butler coach Bryan Tabbert said he’d probably lose
some sleep over this one.
His team had a 2-0 set lead over
AGWSR and held match point in the
fourth set, but the Cougars, inspired
after losing their scrappy libero Maddie Deters to injury, rallied for a 3-2
match win over his Bearcats, 18-25,
18-25, 26-24, 25-22-15-10.
“I don’t think I’ll even go to sleep,”
Tabbert said after the Thursday, Sept.
25 match, “so I might as well just not
stop (kicking myself) until morning.”
Leading 2-1 and the fourth set tied
at 15, Deters went down hard on her
face and didn’t get up long after the
point kept being played, forcing the
referees to halt it and replay the point.
After being attended to, the bridge of
her nose had already swelled considerably only a few plays later.
AGWSR went on to face match
point in that fourth set, but the Cougars found a way.
“Sometimes when things happen
and you have to make changes on the
go, people get a little bit more aware
of things going on and they have to
take that extra energy to get the job
done because it’s not the same old
person in the same old spot,” AGWSR co-coach Betsy Harms said.
“So they’ve got to communicate better on the floor and have to be aware
what is going on around them.
“Sometimes that elevates our energy and that adrenaline actually helps
us do well in certain situations when
a person stepping in has the ability to
take over the job.”
Tabbert added that he thought when
Deters went out, after you have a fallen teammate, it inspires a team to play
harder for them.
Facing match point, AGWSR got
kills by Ashley Sicard, Rachel Frazier
and from Alana Groninga , for set
point, the last coming after a North
Butler timeout.
These two teams faced off over the
weekend at the Gladbrook-Reinbeck
tournament where AGWSR earned
its first win of the season over the
Bearcats. That was a 21-14, 21-15
match.
North Butler came out inspired to
take the first two sets by identical 2518 scores.
“You want to prove to yourself that
you’ve improved since then,” Tabbert said. “We really turned around in
those first two sets, I think. We had a
lot of confidence going in – those first
two sets were big for us. The other
sets were good, too, even though the
losses aren’t good, we learned some
things.”
But after the first two sets, Harms
pulled her team aside to get them
going. It worked at first as the Cougars rattled off the first four points of
the third set and led 6-1 before the
Bearcats rallied.

“We definitely talked about our energy on the floor,” Harms said. “At
times, in games one and two was
good and then we would let down for
five, six, seven points and that’s when
they made the run on us and we just
couldn’t come back to finish those
games. So it was definitely having that
balancing of our competitive attitude
– having fun on the floor but refocusing on playing volleyball. I think that
was the key – I think they definitely
had more fun on the floor the last three
games.”
In the deciding fifth set after North
Butler held its last lead of the match at
2-1, Mel Morones came on four five
straight serves in which she scored an
ace and Cortanie Nederhoff put down
back-to-back kills at AGWSR pulled
away at 6-2.
The Bearcats rallied to tie the score
at 6 only to see the Cougars pull away
again with an ace by Reagan Rathe,
a North Butler net serve and hitting
error. The match ended on one of Sicard’s 12 kills.
“You know, we’re a young team and
we’ve got four sophomores who go
through the rotation pretty regularly
and some of the girls are still learning
to work together as a team,” Tabbert
said. “We’re getting the group right
now so that just all the games are experience, I guess.”
Maddie Brandt and Nederhoff each
tallied 10 kills and Deters recorded 13
digs before leaving the match.
Harms said, “The energy in the final
set (was the difference); they were not
going to let up. They had their opportunity and they have been battling all
season long.”
Haley Landers had a season/career high 10 blocks against the Cougars, the majority coming in the first
two sets. Tabbert said he thought she
played extremely well.
“We made some changes to our
serve receive, started pulling off girls,
I think that helped us out in serve receive,” Tabbert said. “That was definitely a positive here tonight. That was
a positive even though it’s a loss.”

Opportunity Health opens on Main Street
Clarksville Northern Iowa Therapy changes name
Pat Racette
[email protected]
Physical therapists Teresa and
Mike Negen and Amy Wubbena are
parting ways with Northern Iowa
Therapy to begin their own business,
called Opportunity Therapy. Everything will remain the same, except
the name at 103 South Main St.
Partnering with Northern Iowa
Therapy in Clarksville three years
ago, the Negens served other Northern Iowa Therapy locations in Butler
County. However, the Negens and
Wubbena decided they had enough
business at their location to branch
off from the Waverly-headquartered
clinic.
They started working full-time in
Clarksville in February, before getting several approvals to officially
change names yesterday.
OT will accept all major insurances, and occupational and speech
therapy are available when needed.
Also, receptionist Margaret Schellhase retired, and Jordan Stirling will
take her place.
Listed is a question-and-answer
session with the entrepreneurs.
What’s going to be the difference?
T: It will be a lot of details for us
change, our paperwork, our equipment; but our day-to-day operations
for our patients, they won’t even
know the difference.
How did you come up with the name
Opportunity Therapy?
T: We really thought a long time
about it, and that was something that
was catchy, with a mix between us
recognizing an opportunity for us to
go on our own for our families and
ourselves, and also the opportunity
to provide the services for Butler
County and surrounding counties to
get better.
For the patients, we feel like we
have a very good team, so that when
people walk in the door they are getting a good opportunity to get better.
What is your motto?
M: The saying on the sign will be –
Small town charm, big town results.
What services do you provide for
physical therapy?
T: We have two private treatment
rooms, and then our gym area. As
physical therapists, we can treat anything from head to toe. That could
be pain, it could people who had to
add deep restraining motion after
surgery, and it could be a diseaseprocess related function (maybe
someone that has had a heart attack
or stroke).
M: Teresa does treat, and it’s been
a little more common, BPPV, which
is dizziness.
T: We also do strain, counter strain,
which is like a particular technique
for pain relief. As far as the type of
patients, it’s newborn to geriatrics.
Right now we have a newborn on
caseload, and that particular person
has decreased range of motion in the
neck from the way they were positioned in the womb, so we’re working on that.
M: The oldest one is 94, and he had
a hip fracture so we’re working on
walking and strengthening and range
of motion and balance-type things.
T: We do work compensation, with
people off work because of injuries.
We have people that are still working
with restrictions, but we’re working
on getting them better.
We do free screening, so [let’s]
say there is a a kid that gets hurt in
Friday’s football game, their parents
can call us on Monday and we can
have that kid come in here to look at
him. If we feel like we need to work
with them in therapy, then we’ll
work with their doctor to get them
treated.
In Iowa, people have what’s called
direct access, and that means anybody can walk in the door, and we
can diagnose and treat them. But the
other half of that is for them to pay
for it, and in order to get insurances
to pay for it, most of them require
a doctor’s order. Ninety-five percent
of our patients already have the doctor’s referral before we see them, but
there are a few we can work with to
get that so their insurance covers it.

Sign, seal
and send
Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz
is reminding voters that when casting
an absentee ballot, the voter needs to:
• Sign it – Sign the return ballot affidavit envelope;
• Seal it – Seal the return ballot affidavit envelope; and
• Send it back – Return the absentee
ballot to the county auditor by mail or
in person.
If an absentee voter forgets to sign
or seal the return ballot affidavit envelope, the voter will be contacted by the
county auditor and have an opportunity
to fix the problem.
Iowans can request an absentee ballot by mail, filling out the State of Iowa
Official Ballot Request Form and sending the completed form to their county
auditor.
Iowans may also vote early in-person
by absentee ballot at their county auditor’s office or satellite voting location
through Monday, Nov. 3 at 5 p.m. for
the upcoming Nov. 4 general election.
Physical therapists Mike [assistant] and Teresa Negen and Amy
Wubbena [assistant] are breaking away from Northern Iowa Therapy to start Opportunity Health at 103 South Main. St. Due to having enough business in town, the trio no longer needs to travel to
other Butler County NIT branches. (Pat Racette Photo)

Head Start/Preschool receives
‘remodeled’ dollhouse...
The Clarksville Head Start/Preschool is grateful to the Chuck Anderson family for “remodeling” their dollhouse for use at the preschool. Chuck and his family volunteered to take the dollhouse

painting the interior and exterior of the house, and carpeting the
interior rooms. We are very thankful for all of the Andersons’ time
and effort into the project. The Clarksville Head Start/Preschool

What’s The Point Of Priming?
Most do-it-yourselfers get very enthusiastic when it comes to interior
painting. But priming the surface beforehand? Not so much.
Yet applying a coat of primer is key
to getting the best-looking, longest lasting paint job, according to those in the
know. Debbie Zimmer, paint and color
expert for the Paint Quality Institute,
explains why:
“From a practical standpoint, a primer can help the paint adhere better, reducing chances that it will peel or blister. And it can make the painted surface
look much more attractive by imparting
more uniform color and sheen.”
Virtually any primer will provide
those basic benefits, but so-called
“specialty primers” can do a lot more.
Which one to use depends upon the
surface you’re painting, where it is located, and the condition of your home.
Stain-blocking primers are a good
example: They prevent grease, rust,
smoke residue, and other stains from
seeping through the finished paint job
and ruining its appearance. If your
walls or woodwork show signs of these
contaminants, you’ll want to be sure to
apply a stain-blocker before starting to
paint.
Vapor barrier primers, which are typically used in bathrooms, kitchens, and
laundry rooms, do something entirely
different. They help keep moisture
from passing through the walls to the
exterior, where it could damage both
the wall insulation and the house paint
outside. The moisture barrier they form
also helps maintain a comfortable level
of humidity inside the home during the
colder months.
Bonding primers are designed for
use on very slick or glossy materials
such as glass, tile, laminates, or vinylcoating paneling. When painting these
surfaces, a bonding primer is essential
to help the paint adhere well.
Aptly named kitchen and bath primers are made specifically for use in
those rooms. What makes these coatings special? They contain both biocides and stain-blockers to help control
mildew and mold growth in damp areas.
There are also primers that give paint
a uniform appearance when applied
over drywall and joint compound, and
latex enamel under-coaters, which give
glossier paints more uniform sheen.
The list goes on and on.
If your next interior painting project
involves some challenges, then by all
means discuss things with a knowledgeable salesperson and ask which
specialty primer to use. But if you’re
painting a problem-free room and just
want your paint to adhere better, last
longer, and look more attractive, either
apply a standard primer beforehand. .
.or better yet, consider using one of the
new 100% acrylic “paint and primer”
products that function as both primer
and paint.
By using one of these hybrid products, you’ll get the benefits of a primer
and the great finished look of a top
quality paint, but you’ll need to apply
fewer coats. That will save you lots of
time and effort – and maybe even some
money – when compared to the traditional way of doing things.
