Going further into the red after last year, administrators are considering What Cheer Paper shutting down the Greene elementary school. The district went into negative numbers for the first time in FY 2012 (-$43,616). Then, this fall, they dropped to -$213,000 for FY 2013. New superintendent Joel Foster hasn’t had time to figure out how they went further into the hole. “I’m just trying to figure out where we are now, and where we’re going to be in the future,” he said. A public meeting is scheduled Monday at 7 p.m. in Allison. The district will have to go back to the School Board Review Committee Dec. 16, but first have to complete a Corrective Action Plan by Nov. 14. Whether or not to close the Greene elementary building will seemingly have to be decided upon by then. “We’re just kicking around ideas, but we have got to make adjustments,” Foster said. The Iowa Board of Education did close down Russell School District in 2008 for budget issues. The IBE has the authority to close districts that go negative two years in a row. Closing down the school would save the district approximately $180,000 in operational, custodial, kitchen and secretarial costs. However, another couple of teachers would have to be let go, with hopes of ones retiring. The Allison building would have to hold elementary students from Greene. Due to the influx, seventhand eighth-graders at the middle school would likely be moved to the high school building in Greene. “If that’s what happens is hard to say, because of lot of things are up in the air,” Foster said. Currently, Greene elementary enrolls 170 preschool through fourthgraders. Queen for a day Bolin named Dairy Women of the Year at World Expo Pat Racette [email protected] It’s good to be queen, if just for a little while. Pam Bolin was named Dairy Women of the Year. And on the first day of October, she was treated as royalty at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis. Wearing a special nametag and flower, Bolin likely got more attention at the international exposition than the 40 previous years she attended. “When I got up Wednesday, I felt like the little girl Annie,” Bolin said. “I kept going, Oh, my goodness, oh my goodness. It just was a lot of fun. “I think the neatest thing about the award is that you’re selected by your peers. And it’s amazing to think that a cow created by God to feed us brings all these people together from all over the world.” Over 77,000 people, including 5,000 international, were at the Alliant Energy Center for the five-day gathering of everything dairy. Brand new barns, equipment, software, robotics, calf facilities and cow shows were all part of the annual dairy exhibition. Bolin found out about the award in late March, and was honored at the Dinner with the Stars Gala, along with the Dairyman of the Year, Dairy Industry Person of the Year and International Person of the Year. She also met up with former winners of the Women of the Year Award before the dinner. She is the second Iowan to earn the award, as Norma Duffy Lyon, the Butter Cow BOLIN to page 2 Pam Bolin [second from left] was one of four leaders of the industry recognized at the World Dairy Expo recently.

Open Door Youth Center to host Harvest Party Oct. 31 Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra to perform at Wilder Park... The world Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra will perform at Wilder Park, Allison, at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 14, 2015. The event is sponsored by the Allison Park Board. The Glenn Miller Orchestra is the most sought after Big Band in the world. They perform 300 concerts a year. Appearances have been made in all 50 States and many foreign countries. Glenn Miller was born in Clarinda, Iowa. He wrote the music to the beautiful song “Moon Light Serenade”, which is still their signature tune of the orchestra.

There will be NO CHARGE for the concert. Those attending need to bring a lawn chair. Anyone wishing to make a donation to support the concert, should contact Dave Smith, Allison, 319-404 7424. BOLIN from page 1 Lady, was the first. Bolin’s 25 years on the Swiss Valley Farms board and constant promotion of dairy also played a big factor, as well as being the first woman to serve as chairman of a U.S. dairy cooperative. Bolin and husband, Dave, have operated Beaver Creek Farm, located just east of Clarksville, for 35 years. They have a herd of 70 dairy cows, and have collected numerous awards over the years, including the Ralph Keeling Dairy Leadership Award, the highest award given for service in advancing Iowa’s dairy industry. Bolin also has served on the Executive Council for the Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Iowa State, Midwest Dairy Association board, the Iowa Dairy Nutrition Advisory Committee, National Dairy Board, Dairy Management Inc. board, Iowa Farm Bureau committees, National Dairy Council Speakers Bureau, Butler County Dairy Promoters, various youth mentoring roles in school, church and 4-H groups.

Box 8 Allison, IA 50602-0008 4 • Thursday, October 23, 2014 Is Joni Ernst Earnest? The first duty of Government is to protect the Powerless against the Powerful. –Code of Hammurabi, 1754 B.C. This ruling is so basic and so universal that it applies to all civilizations. And what about the richest nation in history, the nation that best affords equality, justice and opportunity for all? Here, we see the Powerful using their immense riches to expand their hold on government. With colossal spending on campaigns and lobbying, they have bought up the GOP. Joni Ernst says she represents Iowa values and is going to work for hardworking Iowans. But when she talks about her intentions, it looks like she stands for the opposite. She holds beliefs that support the financial and corporate elites; the millionaires and billionaires who are determined to have dominion over our politics and economy. Ernst advocates privatizing Social Security, cutting back on regulations, doing away with the EPA, flattening taxes, reducing the safety net, changing Medicare to a voucher system, voting away Obamacare, eliminating the Department of Education and not raising the minimum wage. Instead of making our world a better place, these measures would serve to further empower the Powerful and confine the Powerless. The poor and the fading middle class would see more income disparity and less protection and fairness. It is manifestly undemocratic to have the Powerful running the country for their purposes. Inequality, insecurity, exploitation and pollution are not Iowa values. S. Ray Brost Clarksville Why I trust Jack Hatch for governor I joined Sen. Jack Hatch because Iowa must move forward. We can do better. We need a governor who will use new ideas and technology to lead the state. We need a governor to help our kids succeed in a changing economy. Hatch will give every child a great start with universal pre-K programs. We need someone to make Iowa communities prosper. The best jobs come from home-grown businesses where profits stay in Iowa and create local opportunity. We need to work together. Hatch will raise the minimum wage, and push for jobs to pay a living wage. We need a leader when it comes to repairing roads and bridges. Hatch has smart investments for our safety and quality of life. I first got to know Jack when he came to Cedar Rapids after the flood to help rebuild. He believed in the future of Cedar Rapids, when others wouldn’t take a risk. I believe that Iowans deserve better. We need leaders. Monica Vernon Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor OPINION / EDITORIAL Gender Balance on Butler County Boards and Commissions Dear Editor, What does gender balance on boards and commissions mean? As per Gender Balance Law Chapter 162 69.16A passed by the Iowa Legislature in 2009, to be in effect as of Jan. 1, 2012: All appointive boards, commissions, committees and councils of the state established by the Code...shall be gender balanced. No person shall be appointed or reappointed to any board, commission, committee, or council ...if that appointment or reappointment would cause one gender to be to be greater than one-half the membership...plus one if ...composed of an odd number of members. Now it’s 2014, almost three years later. The good news is that three of Butler County Boards and Commissions appointed by supervisors are gender balanced – Board of Health, Board of Review and Conservation Board. However, more gender balancing needs to happen, as total appointees are 19 percent women and 81 percent men. The Boards and Commissions not gender balanced are adjustment, civil service, compensation, planning and zoning, veterans affairs and compensation in eminent domain. Why should gender balance matter? • Population in Butler is slightly more than half female • Ensures that issues, perspectives and needs of women and men are equally represented • Facilitates individual women and men to reach leadership potential • Decision-making is an important form of participation in county government • Evidence in the private sector indicates that gender balance in top level decision-making roles increases board performance • Supervisors would provide real leadership to the public and private sectors on views and benefits of women in leadership roles What should you do? • Contact supervisors and encourage gender balance for future appointments • Encourage women to apply for positions and serve • Contact the Butler County Courthouse in person, by phone or online (butlercoiowa.org, search Boards and Commissions, select item three) for further information • Find out what qualifications are needed • Fill out an application now; as many terms expire at the end of the year Jane Close New Hartford Butler County Gender Balance Team Cool today, disconnected tomorrow I grew up thinking I was all that, and a bag of chips. I’m not really sure what that means, but I thought I was pretty cool. Just in fourth grade, I had made the select soccer team, and ran around the kitchen and living room in ecstasy. I had everything in order, too. In the morning, I would wake up at 6 a.m., shower and watch ESPN SportsCenter. Then once my dad left for work, I would use his bathroom and hair spray to create the perfect wave. Eventually taking the bus to school, I had a particular friend to sit by and look for Waldo in his Where’s Waldo books. School was fun, too, as girls liked to flirt and friends were funny. Life was great, or even grand one might say. On a lot of weekends I would play in soccer tournaments, usually winning a trophy or medal and throwing it in my closet. I was fairly good at soccer, so that probably helped too. Life went on like this for some time. Sure, moving from elementary to middle school was a bit stressful, but I eventually adapted a similar routine – of course, still going with the untouchable hair wave – literally, don’t touch. A steady stream of soccer, friends and school was my life. But my true colors were beginning to shine. I was still getting good grades, playing on the good soccer squad and walking proud, but all that was about to change. Ya see, my first day in high I school, I was suddenly at the bottom of the pecking list. And the worst part, I couldn’t even see an armpit hair trying to grow. People called me Runt, because I was one of the smallest kids in my class. I hadn’t grown since fifth grade. And on top of that, rebellion had become part of my life. My role as the cat’s pajamas (I still don’t know what this means) was over. And my disobedience made sure the sentence was long. My soccer skills began to deteriorate, my grades went down and I was hanging with people I shouldn’t have been. The lifestyle went on as an underclassman, and by the time I was a junior, I was cut from the soccer squad I had once lived for. Pat Racette [email protected] Pat is editor of the Butler County Tribune-Journal and the Clarksville Star. I ended up playing junior varsity soccer all four years of high school. And to top off my storied career, my JV coach, who also was my coach in 8 and under recreation, kicked me off the team. Yeah, I must’ve hit rock bottom at that point, but I don’t think I did. After the coach gave me the boot, I looked at the talented young freshman and sophomores on my team, and walked off almost proud to finally be away from it all. I stopped liking that coach a long time ago anyway, I knew all he really cared about was winning. So, I was preparing for a new chapter called college. Man, I was hoping college would be different. Propane industry forecasts are positive The propane industry is reporting a positive winter outlook. The U.S. Energy Information Administration report projected warmer winter temperatures, and a 34 percent reduction in heating bills for propane-heated homes in the Midwest compared with last winter. The report also showed propane stocks in the Gulf Coast and Midwest were 10 million barrels, or 17 percent higher, than last year for the same period. • Clarksville Star • Butler County Tribune-Journal • Iowa Crops & Weather Report 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. “Heavy rains across the southeastern two-thirds of Iowa early last week kept farmers out of the fields for several days and as a result we remain well behind the five-year average with only 19 percent of corn and 61 percent of soybeans harvested,” Northey said. “The dry weather the last several days has been very helpful and farmers will be working long hours to get the crop in when conditions allow.” 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 atwww.nass.usda.gov/ia.

Over 100 lo- “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs...” - Matthew 13:31-32a I recently had the opportunity to accompany a school field trip to the Fossil and Prairie Park in Rockford, IA. I had been there once before, and I remembered being amazed by the detail on the fossils, and by the sheer amount of them. Nearly every rock underfoot is a fossil, or a fossil remnant, though there are large shards of clay tile, and yellowish orange rocks that look like they have a lot of iron in them there as well. As the kids and I were walking around the rocky paths looking for fossils, I noticed that many of the kids were picking up the largest rocks they could find. “Are these the fossils?” they would ask excitedly. I handed these kids very small fossils, no bigger than the size of my fingernail. “These are the fossils. Think small. The big rocks aren’t what we’re looking for,” I told them. And then it dawned on me how often I expect God to move in big, obvious, earth-shattering ways. I wondered how often I am the one thinking too big, or waiting for something so profound. And when I do that, I’m missing the small miracles that are all around me: the laughter of children, the sunrise so beautiful it takes your breath away, a good night’s rest, a hug from someone I care about. Jesus mentioned the mustard seed because it was small and easy to overlook. But that tiny seed accomplished amazingly important things. We need to think small in our faith – look for small movements of God, and share small acts of kindness. Mother Teresa once wrote, “We can do no great things, only small things with great love.” It really is the small things...and those small things are usually much bigger, more important, more revolutionary than we first realize.

Full of frightful decorations and spooky lighting, a good Halloween party also features food that plays up the theme of the evening. Therefore, Halloween party hosts will need to get creative with the type of foods they serve to ensure a “spook-tacular” time. With a little ingenuity, otherwise mundane foods can be transformed into something worthy of a second look. Here are some creative ways to turn ordinary food items into Halloween-inspired fare for your next get-together. Ghosts in the Pumpkin Patch Using bananas and clementines or small oranges, you can create the appearance of ghosts haunting a field of pumpkins. Peel both the oranges and the bananas and place small chocolate chips into the rounded “head” of the banana to create a ghost face. Use a piece of green gummy candy or something that will hold its shape to create “stems” for the orange pumpkins. Place the ghosts and pumpkins on a platter or in a bowl for a healthy and festive snack. Witches’ Brew Create a punch recipe that bubbles and looks like a witch’s evil concoction. Put two quarts of lime sherbet for a green punch (or orange sherbet if you prefer an orange punch) in a punch bowl. Add a two-liter bottle of ginger ale and one can of pineapple juice. Feel free to float “eyeball” peeled grapes or gummy worms in the brew for a more authentic effect. If available, add a piece of dry ice to the punch so it bubbles and fizzes. Sugar Spiderwebs Spiders and their sticky webs go hand-in-hand with Halloween. Create spiderwebs that can be used to adorn cookies and cupcakes and give them an extra scary flair. Use a template of a spiderweb and place this template under a piece of waxed paper to serve as your guide. Use store-bought or homemade royal icing to pipe out the shape of the spiderweb on top of the waxed paper. Allow to dry until completely hardened, then peel off the paper. Repeat the process for as many spiderwebs as you need. You can use these spiderwebs as garnish for a variety of baked goods, or they can be eaten on their own. Ghoulish Graveyard What would Halloween be without a haunted graveyard? With a few tasty ingredients, you can recreate this classic look in a rich dessert. Crush graham crackers and mix with melted butter and sugar to create a cookie crust. Press into the bottom of a baking pan. Prepare some chocolate pudding to pour on top of the crust and allow it to grow firm. Then sprinkle crushed chocolate cookies on top to create the appearance of soil. Push some rounded-edge, oblong cream-filled cookies into the pudding to serve as tombstones. Decorate with candy worms, gummy skeletons and any other candy items that can add to the look. Black licorice sticks poked with black licorice strings can look like dead trees. Scary Grin Turn a whole watermelon into a jack-o’-lantern and fill with fruit salad. This makes for a refreshing treat and provides an alternative to candy. Cut the watermelon as you would a pumpkin and hollow out the insides to use for the salad. Add sliced berries, grapes, apples, pears, and any other fruits you desire. TF13A587 (Family Features) If your family’s Halloween consists of pumpkin carving, trick-or-treating and transforming your home into a haunted house, you’ll be happy to know that the “double, double, toil and trouble” doesn’t have to stop there. You can add a little extra hocus pocus to your season by brewing up these chillingly creative treats with the whole family. The Monster Mash Float and Paranormal Pudding are two ghoulishly good treats that kids and adults alike will love, and they’re easy to make. The fun is all in the Limited Edition TruMoo Orange Scream milk.

Ballhagen was sixth, crossing the finish line in 17:57 and Heuer was right behind in seventh at two seconds back (17:59). “These three, along with the other runners on the varsity boys’ team have some very nice times going at this point of the season,” North Butler coach Kirk Clark said. “Three are in the 17s, three in the low 19s and another just over 20 minutes makes this a strong team to compete on Thursday, Oct. 23 for a chance to go to the state Isabel Derdzinski (3rd Place) cross country meet.” In the girls’ race, Isabel Derdzinski brought home an all-conference medal, finishing third in 17:37. “Isabel finished right behind two tough runners from West Fork to grab the spot,” Clark said. West Fork swept the girls’ and boys’ team titles with the Warhawks’ Talia Rowe and Peyton Twedt earning the individual girls and boys title, respectively. North Butler’s middle school boys’ team took home the final Corn Bowl Conference team title with Tate Menne and Trevor Brinkman going 2-3 for the Bearcats.

Last week’s column dealt with October being pork month. (By the way, I made a delicious pork roast in the crockpot with those new “soups for cooking” from Campbells! Yummy!) This week we are celebrating National Cooperative Month! The proclamation came through my email earlier this month after being signed by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. Where did the founding idea for co-ops start? I did a little research and learned that the Farmers’ Cooperative Elevator of Marcus, Iowa, is the oldest active cooperative elevator in the nation! For those of you that have no clue where Marcus, Iowa, is located (like me!) it is a small community in Cherokee County. This cooperative was based on an institution in jolly old England and was formed on December 12, 1887. It seems back then railroads were constructing elevators in villages along their rail lines and forming a monopoly offering farmers low prices for their crops and no other options. Although the Marcus elevator was set up to be a general purchasing and shipping business, it was the immense crop of small grains that swelled the elevator. This resulted in the building of a wooden “elevator” and the resulting name of “farmers’ elevator”. By September 1896, 60 loads of grain were arriving every work day during harvest. I did some checking and learned that corn was harvest by hand. (Actually, I already knew this from old pictures when I was growing up!) Horses pulled these small, wooden wagons which held about 25 bushels of ear corn. So 60 loads at 25 bushels a load would be roughly 1,500 bushels of corn being delivered daily to these elevators. In contrast, I checked with Schmadeke Feed Mill in Clarksville and was told they average 40,000 – 50,000 bushels of corn being delivered daily today! For over 100 years, farmer-owned co-ops have given farmers a chance to compete, succeed and grow their farming businesses. Many farmers check out grain prices at several coops before delivering; they want the most per bushel they can get. The USDA’s web site confirms there are 2.2 million farmers owning 2,300 farmer co-ops in the nation. In a listing of the top 100 co-ops in the nation, Iowa can claim 16! Secretary Vilsack states this is proof that “the state is extremely important to the nation’s agricultural economy.” Farmer-owned co-ops across the nation generate over $213 billion dollars for their local economies and employ in excess of 184,000 people. October is the month used to educate community members about the positive impact co-ops have made and continue to make, especially here in rural Iowa. At last count, Butler County had 17 co-ops helping stimulate the economies of all its communities. Like farmers, these workers put in long hours during spring and fall helping to plant and harvest the crops. Next time you are sitting in a long line to dump your grain at the elevator, take time to thank the workers for their time and efforts on your behalf! (Taking them a snack couldn’t hurt, either!)

The club’s members were asked to bring a friend to show them what 4-H is like. Justine Grummitt was hostess. Holly Wedeking brought a fun pumpkin craft for each club member to make. The club officers were elected for 2014-2015. The club played Halloween BINGO, and got goodie bags for prizes.

Help Farmers Cope with Stress AMES, Iowa — Farm life with its country setting often is idealized, but as the complications and pace of agriculture have increased, so have the physical and mental demands on farmers. Safety and stress during harvest season cannot be ignored, says Margaret Van Ginkel, an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach family life program specialist and Iowa Concern Hotline coordinator. “Farmers deal with everyday tasks of money management, decision-making and equipment maintenance,” Van Ginkel said. “Worry over large debt loads, government regulations, pest outbreaks, animal disease, negative publicity, rapid change within the industry and lack of control over the weather add stress and safety risks.” Van Ginkel noted that farmers work long hours in isolation near their home environment, leaving them no place to escape the stressors, which makes it easy to see why farming ranks as one of the most stressful occupations in the United States. “The physical and mental stress of farming can take a toll on a person’s health,” Van Ginkel said. “Ignoring those signs of stress can lead to fatigue and depression, increasing the risk for accidental injuries, poor decision-making, physical illness and more.” The long days and late nights of harvest can lead farmers to push their limits to get crops out of fields, but research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirms that breaks can help increase concentration and alertness while reducing the risk for farm accidents. “Get out of the tractor, get out of the combine,” said Van Ginkel. “Take fifteen minutes to eat a sandwich on the tailgate of the pickup with your family. It will recharge your energy and help you think clearly again.” Van Ginkel says there are physical signs of stress to look for in yourself or a co-worker. She references the Ag Decision Maker publication Managing Farm Business and Family Stress when she points out physical signs of stress include an increase in headaches, lingering fatigue, disrupted sleep patterns and more frequent illness; emotional signs include frequent anger and irritability. Recognize signs of stress Although adults involved in the agriculture industry may not come out and verbally share they are under financial or emotional stress, there are signs they may be in need of help, Van Ginkel said. These signs can be observed by friends, neighbors, veterinarians, physicians, clergy, teachers and other community members. Suzanne Pish, a social-emotional health extension educator with Michigan State University Extension, encourages those living in rural communities to look for the following signs of chronic, prolonged stress in farm families: • Change in routines. The farmer or family no longer participates in activities they once enjoyed such as church, 4-H or visiting at the local diner. • Care of livestock declines. Animals might show signs of neglect or abuse. • Increase in illness. Stress puts people at higher risk for upper respiratory illnesses (colds, flu) or other chronic conditions (aches, pains, persistent cough). • Increase in farm accidents. Fatigue and the inability to concentrate can lead to greater risk of accidents. • Decline in farmstead appearance. The farm family no longer may take pride in the way farm buildings and grounds appear, or no longer have time to do the maintenance work. • Children show signs of stress. Children from families under stress may act out, show a decline in academic performance or be increasingly absent from school. They also may show signs of physical abuse or neglect. “Many farmers who are used to working things out for themselves might be resistant to sharing their problems with others. Although asking for help might go against the nature of a strong, self-reliant farmer, obtaining support for stressrelated problems usually provides the most effective and durable solutions,” Van Ginkel said. “It’s important to encourage and refer individuals and families under farm-related stress to needed resources.” Call the Iowa Concern Hotline Iowans can call the ISU Extension and Outreach Iowa Concern Hotline, 800-447-1985, for help and referrals for dealing with stress. The Iowa Concern website at www.extension.iastate. edu/iowaconcern/ has a live chat feature as an additional way to talk with stress counselors. Agencies and professionals serving individuals and families can contact local ISU Extension and Outreach offices about Iowa Concern hotline number business cards available for distribution.
