became the Clerk of Court for Franklin County on March 11, 2005. In July
2012, she began as Clerk of Court in
Butler County sharing her time with the
clerk’s office in Butler County.
Bausman, 62, who hails from Wellsburg, and her husband, Larry, 64, coowned the NAPA Auto Parts store
there. He sold the store Jan. 1, 2015.
“He’s retired,” Bausman said. She decided to join him.
In 28 years, technology has been the
biggest change. The judicial branch has
gone from docket books and paper files
to all electronic.
She finds her task of jury attending
the most-fun part of her job because
of the opportunity this affords to listen
to a trial progress and meet the citizens
serving as jurors. Most interesting to
her is following the law and judges’ rulings.
“It’s a constant learning job for all of
us,” she said, referencing changes in the
law as well as technology.

Company’s deceptive marketing
blamed for sagging corn prices
in Midwest Corn Lawsuit
Mira Schmitt-Cash
Editor
As a rootworm attacks corn from the
root, so ag giant Syngenta’s deceptive
marketing to U.S. farmers eroded Chinese market confidence in the U.S. corn
crop, which led to a global collapse in
corn prices, alleges a lawsuit discussed
with area farmers at a meeting at Wilder
Park in Allison.
Attorney Elizabeth Lally, who led
discussion at the June 9 meeting, works
for Mauro, Archer & Associates PPLC
and has specialized in complex litigation for 10 years around the Midwest.
She spoke with farmers in Butler
County about joining a lawsuit against
ag giant Syngenta, and later, spoke at
the Tribune-Journal office about the
case.
Syngenta did not have approval for
import by China in hand, for a certain
strain of genetically modified corn
(GMO), before it directed marketers to
sell the seed in the U.S.
The strain, known as Agrisure Viptera
Elizabeth Lally
(strain MIR162), is genetically modified to ward off corn borer and corn
rootworm and was released in the U.S.
market in 2009.
This lawsuit is focused on holding Syngenta accountable for irresponsibly marketing the strain.
“It is not anti-GMO,” Lally said.
Syngenta maintained that approval
was imminent.
Shell Rock 4th of

SHELL ROCK 4th to page 15
In April 2012, Syngenta’s CEO stated, “There is an outstanding approval
for China, which we expect to have
quite frankly within the matter of a
couple of days,” the law firms state.
Import approval from China was not
granted until December 2014.
As farmers know, the general corn
harvest is unloaded and intermingled at
the elevator.
Before the strain gained import approval in China, that nation across the
Pacific destroyed and later rejected
U.S. corn shipments found to contain
even a trace of Agrisure Viptera.
“China tested the corn and found approximately 3 percent had been grown
using this strain, MIR162,” Lally said.
“So in November 2013, China began
rejecting corn grown in the United
States.”
Attorneys allege this rejection led to a
marked drop in corn prices.

case, Watts, Guerra LLP: “After detect

150+ attend 2016 All School Reunion
By Lola Clark
Chair, Alumni Committee
It was a joyful Hoopla All School
reunion June 11 with 114, alumni,
32 guests of alumni and five teachers
with a total 153 registered people for
a memorable day at the school east
gym.
Guests were from seven states, Arizona, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New
Mexico, Texas and Washington.
Iowa towns represented were Allison, Ames, Ankeny, Carroll, Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Clarksville,
Charles City, Colfax, Denver, Des
Moines, Dumont, Greene, New Hartford, Newton, Parkersburg, Plainfield, Reinbeck, Shell Rock, Waterloo
and Waverly.
The Alumni committee members
were assisted by numerous alumni
volunteers who welcomed the honored guests. Also welcoming guests
was Dawson Holub, a Clarksville
High School soon-to-be sophomore,
attired in the CHS school Indian mascot clothing and a beautiful feathered
head piece. Other alumni greeted
people at the registration table as they
obtained their name tags. The Alumni
committee assisted at the Silent Auction Table and the Norman Rockwell
print fundraiser.
It was entertaining to watch the reaction of the guests as they observed
Dixie Brown Lynch and Betty Bruns
Whitney as they re-enacted a skit of a
freshman student being initiated by a
mighty senior. For most of the alumni
guests, the 1950 initiation antics were
an unknown factor as initiation was
banned just a few years later.
The “Mystery Quilt” on display, remains a mystery. This “Mystery Quilt
with Embroidered Names” belongs
to Anne Roose Johnson. The printed
pages, mostly consisting of names
from the Unity Church area, was
viewed by many.
The memorabilia display included
several elementary class pictures and
their teachers, copies of the school
published newspaper from the 1960-
1970 era, band majorette clothing and
boots. A pair of roller skates brought
back good memories of the Roller
Rink. The exhibit of class rings, on
loan from several CHS graduates,
were attractively displayed on the fingers of a pair of gloves. Comparison
of ring designs brought many comments. Several alumni brought or
wore their treasured class rings. Raymond Grapp was credited for bringing the oldest class ring from 1929
belonging to his father Dale.
Also observed with interest and
comments were a line up of current
sports wearing apparel including the
new football uniforms and the 2016
golf team trophy.
A school bell was rung at 10 a.m.
to declare the “Let the Memories
Begin” program was ready to start.
Introductions and comments were
heard from Mayor Val Swinton and
School Board President Chris Backer. Chairpersons Jessica Lovrien and
Cindy (Eric) Wedeking explained two
current community projects, also the
school mascot and Emily Doty, Miss
Clarksville for 2016, were heard.
Five former teachers were acknowledged and welcomed. Longtime kindergarten teacher Marge Wilson of
Janesville ,Wis. sent a letter of greetings to all. A birthday card was furnished for guests to sign to be sent to
Mrs. Wilson on her 100th birthday.
A class autograph book from 1926
owned by Laverne Becker was shown.
Dixie Lynch, alumni committee
treasurer, gave a business report. Janet Hoodjer has volunteered to join
the Alumni committee. An appeal is
being issued for alumni to donate or
bring items for the yearly memorabilia displays.
Roll Call of Classes began with
Lola Clark announcing that Marjorie Wamsley Stalnecker of Houston,
Texas, is again named the oldest living alumna. She graduated 82 years
ago, in 1934. Marjorie sent greeting
by mail and by a phone call to Lola.

It can be noted the 50-year honor
class contact people did an outstanding job recruiting their classmates to
attend. They reported it was a great
reunion. The twenty-five year class
attendance of two was disappointing,
but several classmates joined to have
an entry in the Pioneer Days Parade.
It was noted several of the honor
classes had entries in the parade.
In closing of the program, several
old CHCS basketball cheers were
read from a 1941 booklet. After hearing the cheers, former cheerleaders
came forward to lead in a rousing
singing of the School Loyalty.
CDs recorded by the school band and
vocal music department were played
for the musical numbers during the
program.
Jeff Kolb was thanked for providing the programs and sound equipment.
The alumni committee will be contacting the 50-year and 25-year honor
classes, asking for representation on
the alumni committee for 2017. The
committee will also endeavor to add
others to the committee to help represent younger honor classes to help
promote attendance in the future. The

designated guard for the convention.
Janice reported the attendees participated in workshops and heard from
recipients of the P.E.O.’s six philanthropies and the Iowa P.E.O. Project Fund
Inc. The convention concluded with
installing of the 2016-2017 executive
board officers. The President’s chosen
theme of “Carry P.E.O. In Your Heart”
as all members are “P.E.O. heroes” will
be used for program ideas. June 3 and
4 were announced dates for the 2017
convention in Des Moines.
Janice showed the Chapter IT’s Display board with colored pictures, which
highlighted the designated sites, which
showed pride in our hometown. The
name of a member of from Chapter ML
in Waverly was drawn to receive the
basket of bountiful gifts prepared with
donated home pride made items from
our Chapter members. Janice’s report
also included comments on the many
educational projects and recipients of
awards earned with the monetary support of the P.E.O. chapters in Iowa.
Chapter IT’s members attending the
convention served as ticket takers for
all the meals. Those wearing the attractive “wild look” patterned material in
their aprons were Clara Hinman, Nancy
Ringlob, Deb Lodge and Kim Lodge.
Janice reported the Chapter’s outstanding newly re-designed convention tote
bag received many compliments from
sisters.
P.E.O. was organized on Jan. 21,
1869, by seven young women at Iowa
Wesleyan College in Mount Pleasant,
Iowa has grown from a tiny membership of seven to almost a quarter of a
million members in chapters in the
United States and Canada. The passionate mission of the organization is to
promote educational opportunities for
women. The sisterhood proudly makes

international philanthropies: P.E.O.
Educational Loan Fund, P.E.O. International Peace Scholarship Fund, P.E.O.

OPINION / EDITORIAL
Overheard at the County Fair
Under the Golden Dome Too
By State Representative Linda Upmeyer
House District 54 / Speaker of the House
[email protected]
(515) 281-4618
Summer adventures
County fair season has officially
kicked off in District 54 with the
Butler County Fair this week. I
really enjoy visiting each of the
county fairs in the district because
it gives me an opportunity to talk
with constituents and hear about
their ideas and concerns.
With the official start of summer, many families will be making
plans for vacations and weekend
getaways. Iowa is full of hidden
treasures which makes our state a
perfect place to plan your summer
adventure. Here are a few suggestions on where to travel this summer:
Visit one of Iowa’s
beautiful state parks
Whether you’re into boating,
fishing, camping, or hiking, Iowa’s
state parks have something for everybody. Iowa has several biking
and hiking trails for beginners and
experts all across the state. We also
have lakes in almost every corner
of the state for fishers and boaters
to enjoy a nice summer day.
Some of the best memories are
made sitting around a campfire
telling stories and grilling s’mores.
Reserving a campsite is as easy as
visiting the reservation portion of
the Iowa DNR’s website whether
you’re bringing your camper or
your tent.
You can find a full list of Iowa’s
state parks and preserves on the
Iowa DNR’s website.
Ride across Iowa on RAGBRAI
Bicyclists travel from across the
country each year to participate
in the Register’s Annual Great
Bicycle Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI). Each year, bikers travel
from the western coast of Iowa,
beginning at the Missouri River,
to the eastern coast, ending at the
Mississippi River.
This year, bikers will begin in
Glenwood and travel through
southern Iowa, making stops in
Glenwood, Shenandoah, Creston, Leon, Centerville, Ottumwa,
Washington, and finally ending in
Muscatine. RAGBRAI is a great
way to stay active over the summer
while also taking in the beautiful
sights of Iowa on a trip across the
state.
This year’s RAGBRAI will take
place July 24-30. You can find
more information at RAGBRAI.
com.
Check out one of Iowa’s
many county fairs
Iowa is recognized nationally for
agriculture. As America’s top pro
ducer of pork, corn, soybeans, and
eggs, agriculture is vitally important to Iowa’s economy. County
fairs give us the opportunity to
showcase the importance of this
industry to many people that aren’t
involved in agriculture.
We all know and love the Iowa
State Fair for its promotion of Iowa
agriculture, but county fairs give
us a local view to our state’s agriculture. County fairs are an opportunity to introduce our kids and
grandkids to agriculture and teach
them about its importance to Iowa.
Many events at county fairs give
students real world experience that
they can use in the future through a
variety of programs and activities
like raising and showing livestock.
County fairs also provide world
class entertainment ranging from
rides to nationally known musicians. We also shouldn’t forget
about all of those delicious fair
foods!
Several county fairs have already
kicked off this year, and will extend into the late summer.
What else to do?
There are numerous other summer adventures across Iowa to
spend time this summer. Visit the
birthplace of Herbert Hoover in
West Branch to learn more about
the only President from Iowa. Enjoy the thrills of a race at the Iowa
Speedway in Newton or visit the
Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum in Knoxville. Visit Iowa’s
original Capitol building in Iowa
City and explore the beautiful University of Iowa campus. There are
plenty of fun activities and places
to visit across Iowa this summer.
I hope that you’ll join me in visiting these Iowa sights this summer
as a day trip or a mini-vacation.
One of Iowa’s lakes, a music festival, or an art fair gets you out to see
the treasures in Iowa communities
across the state. Another benefit to
traveling Iowa is that all of these
options make for economical family fun and they help support our
local communities and economies.
To find more unique Iowa adventures, visit TravelIowa.com.
As always, please keep in touch,
and be sure to say “hi” if you see
me out! I look forward to traveling the district and much of the
state continuing to visit with Iowans over the coming months. If
you would like to touch base in
the meantime, you can reach me at
[email protected] or
515-281-3521.
Voters say the darnedest things and
you hear a lot of them if you sit at the
Democratic Party booth at the Butler
County Fair. Here is a sampling:
Q. Isn’t Hillary playing the woman’s card?
A. Yes, and well she should because Trump is playing the Joker’s
Wild card. If Hillary is elected, it
will hearten young women all over
American to be all they can be. If
Trump is elected, it will enable bullies, braggarts, angry racists, conmen, pathological liars, obnoxious
fools and dangerous morons everywhere — and that is just according
to other Republicans. My own criticisms are worse.
Q. Senator Grassley believes in
the Second Amendment. Why don’t
you?
A. I do; I just don’t think it is a suicide pact. Chuck Grassley just voted
against common sense regulations to
keep terrorists on the no-fly list from
buying guns. He also voted against
expanded background checks for
all gun sales, which would include
the 40 percent of sales not covered
now in Internet sales and gun shows.
Why did he vote with the National
Rifle Association and against the 90
percent of all Americans that are in
favor of those proposals? Maybe is
has to do with the $70,000 he got
from the NRA.
Q. If Democrats are elected and
they come to take our guns, won’t
there be a recession due to all the
layoffs of people making guns and
ammunition?
DAVID MANSHEIM
is a retired lawyer, educator and businessman observing events
from Parkersburg. He also chairs the Butler County Democrats.
A. That is an unusual perspective. By the same token perhaps we
should worry that if we ever cure
cancer, it will put a lot of doctors and
nurses out of work. Actually, Obama
has been in office seven and a half
years and he hasn’t taken anyone’s
gun but guns sales have skyrocketed.
Q. I notice you have a bumper
sticker on your car that says, “My
governor is worse than your Governor.” What’s your beef with Branstad?
A. You mean besides his dismal
support for education and his constant giveaways to big business?
Oh, where to begin? Last month
Branstad closed 15 psychiatric beds
in Independence. Two years ago he
shut down two mental health institutions in Mt. Pleasant and Clarinda.
According to the non-partisan Treatment Advocacy Center report last
week, Iowa is dead last in the nation in mental health beds available
for our citizens. It found Iowa has
just 64 state beds for mental health
patients. That is only two beds for
every 100,000 Iowans and 60 percent of those are already used by
inmates in our correctional system
which leaves only 26 state beds for
3.1 million Iowans. There are more
private hospital beds but getting
mental health treatment in Iowa is a
long and expensive process. Meanwhile anyone, including the mentally ill, can get an AR-15 military
assault style weapon in 38 minutes.
Firecrackers, on the other hand, are
banned in Iowa for being too dangerous.
Q. How come a big liberal like
you isn’t supporting Bernie Sanders?
A. I agree with Bernie and Hillary
that there are three over-riding issues
facing our country. One is income
inequality and Bernie has been brilliant at exposing it. The top one tenth
of 1 percent in American owns more
than the bottom 90 percent. Think
about that! In a village of 1,000 people, if one person owns more than
900 others, aren’t we talking about
serfs and lords in a new feudalism?
Without some redress, there will be
no middle class. The other issue is
public rather than privately funded
elections and reversing the Citizens
United Supreme Court rulings saying corporations are people and
money is speech. If something isn’t
done, we will have no democracy.
The last big issue to me is climate
change and environmentalism. If we
continue to deny and do nothing we
will not have a very livable planet.
So for the planet, for democracy, and
for the middle class, this is a very
important election and I’m with her.
She is perhaps the most prepared
person in history to be President.
Q. I think we need a successful
businessman like Trump to run the
country, don’t you?
A. No. First of all, the purpose of
business is to make as much money
as you can whereas the purpose of
running a country is for peace, prosperity, and providing for the common welfare. Secondly, Trump was
not good at business. He filed four
bankruptcies. How do you go broke
on house odds at a casino? The record of Trump University shows it
was a scam. He doesn’t pay his bills
and has cheated a lot of workers
and contractors out of their money.
He is a legal nightmare having been
involved in over 3,500 lawsuits.
He says he is worth $10 billion,
but Forbes says half that at most.
Depending on who you listen to he
won’t release his tax returns because
they will show: a) he cheats on his
taxes or doesn’t pay his fair share, b)
he isn’t worth what he brags about,
or c) he has ties to organized crime.
Numerous economists have pointed
out that had he just put all his inherited wealth in a stock index fund
and done nothing else, he would be
worth far more than he has made
with all his various and failed enterprises like Trump Airlines, Trump
steaks, Trump magazine, and Trump
clothes (which by the way are made
in China).
Beware of opportunistic meddlers
The mass shooting in Orlando is
tragic in ways beyond the immediate
loss of loved ones and the terror experienced in the event.
Well-intentioned advocates, pundits, and politicians jumped on the
news as a way to further their own
agendas. They all approached it from
the aspect of top-down management
of our world, as if they run a zoo.
I actually heard Senator Joni Ernst
say that if President Obama hadn’t
pulled our troops out of Iraq we
wouldn’t be experiencing so many
terrorist attacks. No explanation
came after that about how destroying and occupying a foreign land
wins friends. She joined the chorus of
voices calling for rebuilding a military that is twelve times larger than
any other on earth, in response to one
jihadist in a nightclub.
I don’t want to lessen the importance of Islamic jihadis. It is an important issue. But that issue has been
so convoluted as to become the reason for expansion of government at
any cost. The right’s obeisance to the
military industrial complex has blinded them to being reasonable regard-

ing the military’s mission to protect
the United States.
For instance, an article in last
Thursday’s Wall Street Journal titled
“U.S. Struggles to Replace Afghan
Aircraft,” it contained this quote:
“One helicopter exploded in midair,
victim of a suspected grenade accident on board. Another was destroyed
when another helicopter accidentally
opened fire on the tarmac.” Military
leaders are upset at Obama’s sanctions that don’t allow us to replace
these $19 million Russian helicopters. What does this have to do with
protecting Americans? Wasn’t the
Soviet Union going down the same
path when it went belly-up?
Everything has a cost. The risk of
dying in a mass shooting in the last
year is 3.6 million to one, compared
to the risk of being struck by lightning
at one in 1.2 million. Even spending

would still have unforeseen risks.
To lessen the risk of being struck
by lightning, we can stop waving
golf clubs at thunderstorms and go
inside. To lessen the chance of being killed in a mass shooting, we can
stay away from gun free zones. But
in Florida that would mean never going to a place that serves alcohol. The
State of Florida has eliminated private
property rights by making it illegal to
carry a firearm in such places. And in
the process, issued a death sentence to
a certain number of their innocent citizens.
In Florida, if the same percentage
of people who hold concealed carry
permits were allowed to do so at the
Pulse nightclub there would have been
twenty capable of limiting the carnage.

people from the aggression of other
people. Advocates of pre-emptive action such as the war on terror or gun
control are merely joining the other
big government busybodies in making things worse. They don’t see that
the funds used and freedom taken for
their grand plans make us more reliant and less able to get along and survive in a dangerous world.
Those who say being in a government database or surrendering weapons to the state has no effect on them,
might change their tune when living
under the next regime or cowering
under a table. Self-sufficient private
individuals have always done more
for our safety than government bureaucrats.
“Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor
safety.” - Ben Franklin, in 1755, had a
warning still poignant to this day.

The case of the shriveled leaves
It seems like we are getting an
abundance of calls about tree problems so far this year. I’ve gone out
and looked at quite a few trees and
seen pictures of more. I am by no
means an expert in all things trees so
I have had to reach out to colleagues
with more expertise than I have and
many times the answer has been “it’s
an environmental issue”.
Many problems we see today really started six, seven, even eight years
ago when the tree was first planted.
An undersized and improperly prepared hole may lead to restricted
root growth and eventual death. A
tree planted too deeply can prevent
proper tree growth and eventual
death also.
As I am quickly learning, most
declining of trees isn’t from a single

reason and it is fairly common to
see a gradual decline in trees. Some
common symptoms include stunted
growth, premature leaf drop, late
spring leaf development, sparse foliage, light green or yellow foliage
and twig and branch dieback. Once
a tree begins to exhibit any of these
symptoms of decline it is almost always impossible to reverse the process.
Usually a tree doesn’t exhibit a
single reason for decline, it’s a combination of factors. Once the tree
is subjected to stress it becomes an
easy target for diseases and pests to
invade and cause further damage.
Although trees can usually survive
stress on the short term basis, their
food reserves are quickly used up
and that’s when visible signs can begin to be seen. Following any stressful event it can take 2 – 3 years to
show signs.
Some common causes of stress
may include: poor growing conditions, disease and insects, low
temperatures in fall and/or spring,
chemical injury, construction and
mechanical injury, flooding and
overwatering, drought, tree topping,
girdling roots and improper handling
When hype meets hate
It’s interesting how expectations
and reputation can affect the perception of a product.
This week saw the release of
“Mighty No. 9,” a game that had
many expectations to live up to.
First, a bit of backstory.
Even non-gamers are probably familiar with Mega Man in some capacity or another. He’s a blue-clad
super fighting robot that jumps across
platforms, absorbs the weapons from
his enemies and explodes upon the
slightest contact with a pointed edge.
The Blue Bomber had a pretty consistent presence in the video game
scene starting from his debut in 1987
right up to 2010 when Capcom, for
reasons unknown, decided they’d had
enough.
Flash-forward to 2013, where producer Keiji Inafune had had enough
with Capcom’s neglect for the Mega
Man franchise. Inafune left Capcom
to start his own company, Comcept,
and launched the studio on the promise of doing what Capcom wouldn’t.
Under any other circumstances,
“Mighty No. 9” would be called a
knock-off of “Mega Man,” but with
Inafune and the other Capcom developers that followed him at the helm,
it was instead dubbed a “spiritual successor.”
Inafune went to Kickstarter and
asked for $900,000 to produce the
game. He got nearly $4,000,000,
and everybody in the gaming world
felt pretty good about that. Not only
were gamers finally getting a new
“Mega Man” game (in everything but
name), but the success of the Kickstarter proved that developers could
free themselves from their corporate
shackles and strike out on their own.
But things only went downhill from
there.
While Comcept proved to be very
successful at creating a community
around their project, maintaining it
proved to be another matter entirely.
A divisive community manager split
the community against itself, creating controversy that shouldn’t have
affected the game itself, but certainly
dampened enthusiasm for the project.
Then came the delays. “Mighty No.
9” was targeted for an April 2015 re-

lease. You may have noticed that it is
not April 2015. In this, the game was
a victim of its own success. By raising
400% of its original budget Comcept
was able to fund a score of “stretch
goals,” which included multi-platform releases and an online challenge
mode, two things which drastically
increased development time, resulting in the game being delayed three
times.
With morale plummeting as the
user base grew increasingly impatient, Comcept released a tone-deaf
advertisement that was outright insulting to the game’s primary consumer base. A base that had paid for
the game in 2013 and at that point had
received nothing but disappointment
and frustration since.
Then, last week, the moment of
truth. The game was released…
mostly. I’ve gotten my copy, but
scores of people, particularly console
owners and overseas backers, have
yet to receive the game.
So after all the problems and delays, how was the final product?
Mediocre at best.
Not bad. Not great. Just mostly
okay. Nothing to write home about,
much less write a whole column
about.
Mediocre games happen all the
time. Every single week a developer you’ve never heard of puts out
a game that you’ll never hear about.
That game probably won’t be bad,
but it also probably won’t be worth
your time or money either. And nobody cares because nobody has any
expectations for it one way or the
other.
Sometimes beloved developers
even put out mediocre games. Platinum Games is a company known for
their spectacular combat, so when
they announced that they were developing a game for the “Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles” franchise, it
seemed like a match made in heaven.
Unfortunately, the final product did
not live up to expectations, which is
disappointing, but it happens. Gamers shared a collective sigh of disappointment and moved on to the next
thing.
For “Mighty No. 9” though, gamers
aren’t letting this one go. The community has been flush with memes
about the game’s launch problems,
underwhelming graphics and substandard gameplay. If the community
didn’t get their entertainment value
playing the game, they’re certainly
getting it by tearing the game down.
It turns out that if you’re going to
frustrate and insult your customers,
you better make sure the final product
lives up to expectations.
Some companies can get away with
it. Nintendo, for instance, has struggled under an endless string of poor
decisions since 1996. They are spectacularly out-of-touch with the mod-

ern gamer and continually make decisions that aggravate their most loyal
customers. And yet all it took was one
trailer for the new Zelda game to sell
me on their next system.
Comcept does not have that level
of good will and at this point they’re
unlikely to ever get it. With so many
problems during the development,
I’m not sure it’s possible to make a
game good enough to earn back all
that lost good will.
For me, I spent $20 on a game that
took nearly three years to make and
one night to nearly finish. When I get
some free time, I’ll beat the final boss
and probably never it again. Were this
a random game on Steam I wouldn’t
have bought it, but that’s the chance
you take when you Kickstart something.
For Comcept and their investors,
it’s a lesson learned the hard way.
Travis Fischer is a news writer for
Mid-America Publishing and thinks
now is the time for Capcom to announce “MegaMan X9.”

Val Swinton, Pastor
Church of Christ, Clarksville
The Bible contains the greatest love story ever told. God loving the world
so much He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to earth as a mere human, to
suffer the punishment we deserve because of our sins, so all who believe in
Jesus will have their sins forgiven.
No love story is as poignant and powerful as that of God sending His only
Son to suffer for our mistakes. Yet there is a growing number of liberals
who are painting this story as one of hate. They are claiming that because
evangelical Christians see homosexuals as sinners who need a savior, we are
responsible for the massacre in Orlando, Fla., in which 49 gays were killed
by a radical Muslim gunman.
Bloggers and newspaper columnists are ignoring the fact that Orlando
shooter Omar Mateen called 911 and a local television to say he pledged allegiance to ISIS. They’re ignoring the fact ISIS has praised Mateen as a mighty
warrior for its cause. Instead, conservative Christians are being branded as
the reason for this horrendous tragedy.
Andrew Sotamayor, writing in the Huffington Post, said, “Every preacher,
pastor or priest who’s falsely claimed that LGBT people are sinners, perverts
or told someone to “pray the gay away” contributed to this murder.”
Amanda Marcotte in another liberal Internet publication, Salon, said there’s
only one way to cure this problem of hate; “We strive for an end to all religious teaching that homosexuality is a sin…”
Even many who call themselves Christians are jumping on the bandwagon.
Popular writer and speaker Jen Hatmaker argued that Christian “anti-LGBTQ sentiment has paved a long runway to hate crimes.”
And Denise Anderson, a Presbyterian minister and co-moderator of the
222nd General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) was even more
blunt. In an article published in the Christian Post, she said the American
Church, “is in the same business” as Mateen, but is “simply not as efficient
as he was.”
Do you understand what this Presbyterian minister is claiming? Biblebelieving Christians are in the business of killing gay people just like Omar
Mateen. The only difference is we’re not as good at it as he was.
What is happening here is the gay rights movement is using the Orlando
tragedy to demonize Christians. Because the Bible condemns homosexuality as a sin, Bible-believing Christians have long been a target of the LBGT
movement.
David French, writing in the National Review, said we are witnessing “an
unreasoning, irrational hatred of American Christians and a comprehensive
denial of Muslim moral agency.”
What he means is, while no Bible-believing Christian would wish death
on homosexuals, the penalty for homosexuality in most Muslim countries
is exactly that. Yet the gay rights movement is blind to what’s happening in
Muslim countries because of its extreme hatred of Christians.
The truth is, “We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” The
Bible tells us that. Whether it is homosexuality, greed, lust. Whatever the sin,
all people need a savior. And God loves us so much He sent His Son to be
that savior.
A tragedy even greater than the Orlando massacre is the gay rights movement has convinced a large segment of America that homosexuality is not a
sin and God’s love story is really a story of hatred.

Butler County Courthouse News
DISTRICT COURT
Kai Brost, of Clarksville, who ran
in 2015 for mayor of Clarksville,
had two counts of assault causing bodily injury and one count of
fourth-degree criminal mischief
(property valued at $200-$500),
dismissed at the request of Ray and
Meta Brost after visiting with Kai
in Independence, states Kai’s motion to dismiss, which was filed
March 15. A new law effective Jan.
1, 2016, allows potential expungement. “Pursuant to Iowa Code Section 901C.1, after 180 days, the
defendant may apply to the clerk of
court seeking expungement of the
criminal case, if following hearing,
defendant can prove that dismissal
or acquittal was entered for ALL
charges, that all court costs, fees
and other financial obligations have
been paid and that dismissal or acquittal was not due to a related deferred judgment or finding of [not
guilty by reason of] insanity, or
incompetency [to stand trial],” the
judgment states.
Jamie Lee Louck, 39, of Gladbrook pleaded guilty to first-offense
operating while intoxicated (count
one), and fourth-degree theft (property valued at $200-$500) (count
two) both serious misdemeanors.
Louck was sentenced concurrently
on both charges to complete two
days in a state-approved OWI program, with credit for time served
and the rest of a 90-day-sentence
suspended, and was placed on probation to Department of Corrections for one to two years and ordered to follow recommendations
of a substance abuse evaluation,
abstain from alcohol and not enter
establishments whose principal income is its sale and ordered to pay:
$1,575 total fines ($1250 on count
one and $315 on count two), a combined $686.25 surcharge (includes
$10 DARE surcharge on count one
and $125 law enforcement surcharge on count two), and court
costs including $115. Louck’s driving privileges were to be revoked
if not already. Parkersburg Police
filed the complaint Oct. 1, 2015,

Diane Marie Schofield
A young woman’s badly decomposed body
was found in the trunk of a tan 1966 Rambler
in a parking lot at Southwest 20th and Porter
near the Des Moines airport on Thursday, July
10, 1975. The body was later determined to be
21-year-old Diane Marie Schofield.
An autopsy indicated Schofield died of strangulation. Her body was found fully clothed in
a green halter top and blue jeans, but with no
shoes. Her hands were tied behind her back
and her feet bound with twine near the ankles.
She’d been strangled with a strip of knotted
cloth. The body showed no other apparent
signs of violence. Based on evidence and witness accounts, investigators believe she was
killed sometime after 9 p.m. Monday, July 7.
Police said robbery didn’t appear to be a motive because Schofield still wore her $200 watch
and several turquoise rings. The 1966 Rambler
in which her body was found, was registered
to the victim.
She was last seen alive shortly after 9 p.m.
Monday, July 7 at the Apco Service Station,
2324 Forest Ave. An attendant at the station
said Schofield bought cigarettes and mentioned she was going to be late for work. Schofield had been employed as a waitress and as
a masseuse at several massage parlors in Des
Moines. Her last place of employment was the
tavern Dave Salem’s Foozin’ ‘n’ Boozin’.
Police records showed Schofield, a divorced
mother of a five-year-old daughter, was sentenced in January 1975 to five years in the
Women’s Reformatory for carrying a concealed
.22-caliber pistol but was placed on probation.
She’d been arrested on the charge the previous
April. The attorney who represented Schofield
in her concealed weapon charge said she told
him that she’d been asked to be some type of
informant relating to drugs. Officers connected with Schofield’s investigation said they’d
had no knowledge of her being an informant.

backyard cookouts want to share some of their favorite
grilling recipes, as well as an appreciation for how food gets

Indians split run-rule
doubleheader with
Iowa Star foe Don Bosco
GILBERTVILLE – Clarksville completed a suspended game win over Don
Bosco 16-5 in six innings and then went on to fall in the nightcap 18-4 in five
to split the doubleheader on Wednesday, June 22.
The Indians had 12 hits and Kori Wedeking gave up only two earned runs
while striking out six in the first-game win.
Brittney Litterer, who was 3-for-4 with a double, drove in four runs in the
opener. Chelsea Capper also was 3-for-5, doubled and added two more RBI.
Bailey Myers homered and accounted for four more RBI.
However, in the second game the situation was reversed and the Indians
managed only four hits off of the Dons. Wedeking, who started the game,
gave up five hits and a walk in the opening two innings before giving way to
Madison Stirling.
Only eight of the 18 runs for Don Bosco were earned in the nightcap.

Indians’ conference hopes take a hit
CLARKSVILLE – North Tama’s Madison Howard struck out 13 Clarksville
batters and then capitalized on a couple of seventh inning errors to snag a 3-1
win over the Indians’ softball team on Monday, June 20.
Clarksville had just broken through against Howard, who had the Indians
off-balance much of the game, for a run in the bottom of the sixth to take a
1-0 lead against the Redhawks.
But two straight balls hit to third that were misplayed led to a three-run
uprising for North Tama that the Indians had trouble recovering from.
In order to get that run, Chelsea Capper, hit a one-out single, stole second
and after a strikeout, Bailey Myers hit an RBI single to left to momentarily
take the lead.
With two on and nobody out, Kori Wedeking struck out the next batter, but
couldn’t escape the jam as the No. 8 hitter, Claire Schafer, drove in the goahead run.
The Redhawks went on to tack on an insurance run with an RBI single by
lead-off hitter Tessa Dvorak with two outs.
The Indians managed five hits off of Howard, but couldn’t string enough
together until the sixth.
Clarksville, prior to that game, was tied with Don Bosco for the Iowa Star
Conference lead. The Indians fell a game back at 9-2 behind the Dons, who
are 10-1.

BCVOW seeks donations
for back to school project
Butler County Visions of Well-Being
(VOW) is requesting donations for
the 2016 -2017 Butler County Back to
School Project. The Back to School
Project provides families in need with
assistance to obtain necessary school
supplies for their children. During the
2015-2016 school year, VOW assisted
over 100 students throughout the county and would like to continue doing so.
Our goal is to raise $5,000 this
year to help us maintain the project.
Sponsorship of one or more of the
students is welcomed. In these difficult economic times, please consider
keeping your charitable giving local,
so that Butler County can continue
to be a great place to live. BCVOW
is a non-profit organization, so your
donations are tax deductible.
For more information on how you
can contribute to the Back to School
Project please contact Joy Dralle or

Farm Service Agency News
Crop acreage reports
due July 15
July 15, 2016 is the final day to report
2016 spring seeded crops. All cropland
acres need to be reported in order to be
eligible for nearly all FSA programs.
Please call for an appointment at the
Butler County FSA office at 319-2672777. After July 15, a late-filing fee of
$46 per farm will be assessed.
Most farms are participating in either the ARC-CO or PLC programs
and some producers are participating
in the Conservation Reserve Program
(CRP). One must report crop acres to
comply with those programs. Sometimes other programs are initiated by
Congress that require acres to be reported. Many times programs require
past history of acreages in order to be
eligible for programs.
Therefore, it only makes sense to report crop acres in a timely fashion to
avoid late-fees or try to reconstruct a
history base years later.
Farm program
enrollment due Aug. 1
Producers have until August 1,
2016 to enroll in the 2016 ARC County
and PLC programs at their FSA office. Producers made the choice to
decide which program they wanted in
2015 and that choice remains in effect
through 2018, however, they must still
enroll their farms by signing a contract
each year.
Producers are encouraged to contact
their local FSA office to schedule an
appointment to enroll. If a farm is not
enrolled during the 2016 enrollment
period, producers on that farm will not
be eligible for financial assistance from
the ARC or PLC programs should crop
prices or farm revenues fall below the
historical price or revenue benchmarks
established by the program.
The two programs were authorized
by the 2014 Farm Bill and offer a safety
net to agricultural producers when
there is a substantial drop in prices or
revenues for covered commodities such
as corn and soybeans.
FSA nominating
papers for LAA 2
candidacy due Aug. 1
Nominations are now being accepted
for nominees for the 2016 Butler County Committee election for local Administrative Area No. 2, which includes
Coldwater, Dayton, Fremont, Jackson,
and West Point townships. Anyone who
resides in any of these townships and is
involved with a farm as an owner, operator, or other tenant, is eligible to serve
on the county committee.
Producers may nominate themselves
or others as candidates. Organizations
representing minority and women
farmers and ranchers may also nominate candidates. To become a nominee,
eligible individuals must sign form
FSA-669A. The form and more information about county committee elections is available online atwww.fsa.
usda.gov/elections.
Elected county committee members
serve a three-year term and are responsible for making decisions on FSA disaster, conservation, commodity and
price support programs, as well as other
important federal farm program issues.
The Nomination form FSA-669A
must be postmarked or received in
the county office by Aug. 1, 2016.
The Way It Was
by Dave Clark
Friday, June 17, 2016
It’s always nice to see something
you have never seen before and on
top of that it was old and still working, as it was intended to do.
These old ceiling fans were operating in an antique store in Strawberry
Point, where we stopped on our way
home from Marge Wilson’s 100th
birthday party in Wisconsin. The
three fans all worked via belts from
a single motor, shown here, which
must have contained reduction gears
as the fans were turning slowly. The
belts were round, like the ones used
on old sewing machines, with their
ends held together with a wire clip.
Their only sound was an occasional
click when the fastener went around
the pulley.
It looks like something from the past
and I was told it was original to the
store; however it did run on electricity,
which I would guess this store didn’t
have when it was built. Because I have
never seen another one I really think it
is from “The Way it Was”
130 Years Ago: Spring, 1886
City Council Ordinance No. 1—
Provides for the restraining of stock
and penalties for violation of ordinance. In the summer time our streets
are made a pasture for cattle and horses, and it is the marshal’s duty to see
that this is stopped.
Note: This ordinance was adopted
on November 12, 1874, two months
after the town was recorded. As I
found this in a 1886 STAR, some 12
years later, it would seem that no one
paid much attention to the old law
and now it was up to the marshal to
enforce it, but from reading the old
papers it would seem that cattle, pigs
and chickens roamed the streets for a
number of years after this. Interesting
times!
• Gasoline at J. Perrin & Co.’s 15
cents per gallon delivered in the city.
• The question of making East and
West Shell Rock one independent
school district will be voted on next
Saturday. We shall not have a very
good opinion of the intelligence of
the voters of that place should the
question fail to carry. I assume they
had a bridge across the river by this
time.
Next Week; Shell Rock electors voted not to consolidate. Foolish Voters!
Band Benefit—A calico dance
will be given at the Opera Hall Friday evening under the auspices of the
cornet band. The boys are in need of
two more uniforms, a new horn and
some minor equipment and are lacking the necessary funds to make the
purchase. John Hick’s band will furnish the music. In order to furnish
wind, the boys must “raise the wind.”
Tickets $1.00
Ladies, get your calico dress, and
necktie to match ready for the dance.
Next week; The dance Friday evening was a success in every way. The
band cleared $14 from it. Doesn’t
seem they would buy much with that.
• One cyclone cellar has been built
in this place and a number of others are contemplated. Such a cellar
would be a safe retreat in case of a
storm, but cyclones are but a trifle
more numerous in this place than hair
on the head of a river. It only takes
one cyclone/tornado, however.
• Slick up! Don’t have a yard that
looks like a cyclone relic. Now there’s
a good description and evidence that
some things haven’t changed with
time.
• The Shell Rock River, in this place
is on a bender, the highest seen for
several years; only quick work saved
the north approach of the wagon
bridge south of town.
A portion of a bridge passed down
the Shell Rock, Thursday.
The cause of the sudden rise of the
water in the river, Thursday night,
was the washing away of the Rock
Falls dam that morning.
• A brand new baby has been born
at the home of Fred Halford’s in our
“Seat of War” (Butler Center?). As
to the gender, whether masculine or
feminine, your local is not informed,
but thinks it is. I think I would have
like to have known Editor Madigan!
• A horse went south over the B.,
C. R. & N., Friday by express, which
makes a living for its master by skating on roller skates. This is a dumb
good item. (Written as found)
• Some of Rockford’s young ladies
have organized a brass band. In spite
of all their blowing, they will doubtless receive many a pressing engagement and always be received with
open arms. Take your pick; praise,
sarcasm, humor or scorn?
• The celebrated Arion Bell Ringers
and Elite Specialty Co. will perform
at the Opera Hall Monday. A Des
Moines paper, speaking of the Arions says: “The program is of a new,
catching and hugely mirth provoking
order. It embraces some excellent bell
ringing, with much artistic ability;
good singing and sketch work.” Admission; 10 cents; reserved seats 10
cents extra, on sale at the post office.
Next week—The Arion Bell Ringers
have come and gone, and for giving
thin entertainments this troupe sweeps
the pantry. Mr. Brown, you will please
put such first-class shows in at some
other town. It may be a tight squeeze,
but we will try and survive the shock,
if we never see another dime exhibition. I believe Mr. Madigan didn’t
care much for the show!

Iowa DNR: 30 years,
30 natural resource successes
July 1 marks the 30th anniversary
of the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources, established by the State
Legislature when several state agencies consolidated in 1986. To help
commemorate the 30th anniversary,
the DNR is highlighting 30 success
stories for Iowa’s natural resources
during the last three decades.
The DNR oversees compliance
with water, land and air quality regulations, as well as wildlife, fisheries,
forests and state parks.
“We spend a lot of time working
on, and talking about, how Iowa’s
natural resources need to improve,
and we will continue that hard
work,” said DNR Director Chuck
Gipp. “Now is the perfect time to
also reflect on some amazing accomplishments that have truly improved
our state’s environment and outdoor
opportunities.”
According to Gipp, the key to most
of these accomplishments has been
partnerships.
“These are not just DNR success
stories,” said Gipp. “Many citizens,
businesses and communities have
worked tirelessly to help improve
natural resources and Iowa’s quality
of life during the last three decades.”
Many of these successes have happened with leadership from organizations, companies and individuals
outside of the DNR, and the agency
Avoid areas of heavy
smoke near fireworks displays
As spectacular as Fourth of July
celebrations can be, drifting smoke
following the fireworks can cause
breathing problems for some. If
the air is stagnant, fine particles
can be trapped near the ground
and build to unhealthy levels.
The DNR encourages sensitive
individuals to stay upwind a safe
distance away from fireworks displays. People with asthma or respiratory difficulties, the elderly,
children and pregnant women are
most likely to suffer.
Smoke contains fine particles and
gases, which can be hard on the
lungs. Fine particles in fireworks’
smoke are produced from the black
powder used to shoot fireworks
skyward along with the metals that
produce brilliant colors.
Those unable to avoid areas of
dense smoke should limit outdoor
activity and contact their health
care provider if they experience
difficulty breathing.
An air pollution monitor in Davenport recorded unhealthy levels of
fine particles after Fourth of July
fireworks in 2008 and 2015. Find
more information about that event
and fine particle pollution at www.
iowadnr.gov/neighborhoodair under the Firework Displays section.
Additional information on fine
particles is available at www.iowadnr.gov/airpollutants under “Fine
Particles (PM2.5).”
salutes the efforts of thousands who
have contributed their innovation
and dedication to natural resource
work in the state.
Examples of natural resource successes in the last 30 years include:
• Iowa’s eagle population, on the
brink of extinction in 1986, now
has close to 400 nesting pairs in the
state.
• More than 1,200 miles of hiking
and biking trails have been developed across Iowa, creating hugely
popular outdoor opportunities.
• Almost 30 percent of Iowa electricity now comes from wind energy,
a number that was basically nonexistent in the mid-1980s.
• Iowa’s streams that can support
naturally reproducing trout have
increased to 45 from just six in the
mid-1980s through water quality efforts.
2.2 million Iowans now participate
in curbside recycling in 644 Iowa
communities, a concept that was not
widespread 30 years ago. The complete list of the 30 accomplishments is highlighted in the July/
August 2016 issue of Iowa Outdoors
magazine, and can be found on the
DNR’s website at www.iowadnr.
gov/30th. The successes and anniversary will also be featured in a display at the DNR’s State Fair Building in August.
HOLIDAY HOURS
Reminder...the Library will be
CLOSED this Saturday, July 2 and
Monday, July 4 for the Independence
Day weekend. Be sure to stop in early to stock up on some good books
and movies! Regular hours will resume on Tuesday, July 5 at 10 am.
SUMMER READING
PROGRAM
Last week’s summer reading
events at the library included two
special guests. On Monday, June 20,
the Grout Museum (from Waterloo)
brought a special program called
“Running Through Science.”
The 44 kids that attended saw experiments with a cabbage, strawberries, and the three laws of motion. We
saw with some sports balls how energy can never be lost, only transferred,
and also the importance of air pressure as a ping-pong ball was forced
through a pop can at 600 mph!
On Wednesday, June 22, we welcomed Granny Lola for a morning
about moving and racing! Fifty-two
kids came to hear stories like, “The
Tortoise and the Hare” and “Three Billy Goats Gruff,” along with songs, pancake flipping, marble races, and more!
Watch next week’s paper and our
Facebook page for info and pictures
from our final regular week of the summer reading programs and final party!
FINAL PARTY
Reminder….our Summer Reading
Program Final Party will be THIS
Thursday, June 30 from 6:30-8 pm
at the Reading Park (across from the
Library)! Kids that participated in
the summer programs are invited to
bring their families for an evening
full of games and activities! Kids can
also pick up their reading charts and
certificates, and at 7:30 pm, we will
announce the winners of the Students
vs. Teachers Reading Challenge!
SUMMER STORYTIME
Do your kids need something new
to do this summer? Then join us for
Summer Story Time! Starting Tuesday, July 5, kids of all ages are welcome to come to the library every
Tuesday and Friday mornings from
9:15-10 a.m. stories, songs and fingerplays! Each day will be a little different, so come as often as you like!
JOAN BECKER PROGRAM
Mark your calendars for Thursday, July 14 at 7 pm, as we will welcome Joan Becker of Parkersburg to
give a program on her book, “SENTENCED TO LIFE”.
In her book, “SENTENCED TO
LIFE”, Joan talks about how her
personal family experience served
as the catalyst for her to become an
advocate and public speaker for individuals with mental illness. Her focus is to open the doors and promote
change in our mental health system
Joan speaks regularly to colleges,
churches, NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) groups, high
schools, communities, and mental
health service providers.
The program will be in the Library’s lower level, which is handicapped accessible.
Tell neighbors who are
vets if setting off fireworks
As the Independence Day holiday
approaches, Phantom Fireworks is
reminding its customers, friends,
and all those who use consumer fireworks to be mindful of the fact that
some veterans can be startled and
upset by the noise of fireworks.
Chelsey Zoldan, M.S. Ed., a licensed Clinical Mental Health
Counselor and special consultant
to Phantom Fireworks, advises that
there is the potential for some veterans to be reminded of combat situations when they hear the loud sounds
of gunfire and/or fireworks.
Combat veteran Henry Jiminez,
on a broadcast news piece aired on
KABB-TV in San Antonio, indicated that he found the unexpected
blasts to be the worst. He said sometimes upon hearing the unexpected
fireworks blasts, he drops down and
puts his hands over his head.
Ms. Zoldan indicated that the
startle of the unexpected fireworks
booms can cause some veterans increased anxiety, which could be difficult and challenging to them.
The company, which bills itself as
the largest U.S. retailer of consumer
fireworks, suggests that those who
intend to shoot consumer fireworks
in a neighborhood should contact
their neighbors to let them know
what they plan to do so those combat
veterans who might be affected by
the fireworks have the opportunity
to take steps to avoid the unintended
consequences.
Some veterans actually put signs
in their front yards asking for consideration from neighbors when using fireworks. Signs for veterans are
available at http://militarywithptsd.
org/shop/veteran-firework-sign/.
According to Ms. Zoldan, the bottom line is that giving veterans a heads
up that you will be lighting fireworks
seems to be the most helpful. Vets
aren’t necessarily scared of or by the
noises, but the unexpectedness can trigger unwanted symptoms and distress.
Please enjoy the Independence Day
holiday safely, show courtesy to those
military veterans who served so your
freedoms could be protected.

And cause a Clinker...

RELAY from page 1
phoblastic lymphoma and leukemia. I
was down in Florida on spring break
when I was diagnosed. I thought I had
pneumonia for awhile and when I went
down to spring break, it got to the point
where I couldn’t breathe so I went to
the emergency room.
In the ER they stuck a needle in my
back and took out 3 liters of fluid. After
testing the fluid they told me that I had
cancer. I spent a few days in the intensive care unit in Florida. They then put
me on a six-person paramedic plane
and flew me up to Iowa City.
In Iowa City, they then put me in a
coma for seven days. My kidneys failed
and lungs collapsed and they tried doing dialysis but it wasn’t working because my blood was clotting so much;
it came down to the last half hour and
they got it to work. I had nine tubes in
me at one point. I had a breathing tube,
a feeding tube, two tubes in my neck,
two tubes in my side, one going into
my heart and one going into my lungs
to drain the fluid.
I don’t really remember the month of
April because I was so drugged up. My
heart went into atria flutter one night
where it went up to 250 beats a minute and wouldn’t go down. So I spent
a month in the hospital without ever
getting out of bed. I lost 70 pounds and
all of my muscle and my hair. I was so
weak that I couldn’t walk 10 feet to the
bathroom for months.
Since then I have spent another two
weeks in the hospital for an infection
and another two weeks for a brain
bleed. I have a tube in my chest that
goes to my heart where they put the
drugs. The first two broke, so this is my
third one. So far I’ve spent three and a
half months in the hospital.
I made up the classes I missed last
semester and got my biology degree.
Hoping to get my EMT, then my paramedic, then attend med school. I had
played football at University of Northern Iowa until I got sick.
You never see anybody around my
age in the hospital, but at least I have
a lot of support from my family and
friends. We’re alone our entire lives;
we’re born alone; we live alone, and we
die alone. All we can do is create the illusion that we are not alone through the
love and affection of others. It’s rough
seeing my peers continue on with their
life plans while I’m stuck in this ditch. I’ve had chemo since being diagnosed
and also have had 16 treatments of radiation. I could ask God, “Why me?”
Instead, I think, “OK, I’ll do it as best I
can.” But still, I will never know why bad
people get to mistreat their bodies their
whole lives and live until old age when
there are children who have done nothing, suffering. But it comforts me to just
think that God gives his strongest soldiers
the toughest battles in order to test their
faith and reassure faith in others.
It’s rough coming from being so athletic and having all my plans go right to
this. My feet are also numb, and I can’t
run anymore because of the leukemia
that ate away at my spine. Oh, and the
girlfriend dumped me in the worst part
of treatment ‘cause I may have lost my
ability to have kids.
BLAKE WILL BE accompanied by
his supporting family and friends as he
shares his story at the July 8 American
Cancer Society Relay for Life at the fairgrounds in Allison.
The Relay gets under way at 5 p.m.
with silent auction bidding and raffle
ticket sales.
The 6 p.m. program will include
Blake’s talk about his experiences. He
will be joining many other survivors
from throughout Butler County as they
take the survivor walk at the 2016 Relay.
Join them to “Celebrate the successes; Remember those who have
fought their battle, and Fight Back to
find a cure by raising funds for cancer
research and advocacy.”

Butler Relay calls for survivors to
be honored, seeks luminary orders
The Butler County American Cancer Society Relay for Life Committee has sent invitations to cancer survivors throughout the
area, inviting them to the 2016 Relay. Survivor Chairperson Paulene Meyer has stated that they have not received back as many
replies to the invitation as they would like. Therefore, please be
reminded that if you have heard those words, “You have cancer,” you are a survivor and the committee would like to honor
you. Survivors are honored and recognized in a special way for
their brave fight at the relay. If you did not get an invitation or
have not replied to the invitation you received, please call Paulene at 319-267-2559. Luminary bags are available throughout
Butler County for those wishing to have them decorated for the
July 8 Relay For Life in Allison. Luminaries are done “in honor
of” someone who has battled cancer or “in memory of” someone who has lost their battle with cancer. Jane Kliebenstein,
Shell Rock, has spent countless hours getting bags decorated

Poultry show returns to County Fair
Mira Schmitt-Cash
Editor
The poultry show returned this year
to the Butler County Fair, following
last year’s bird flu outbreak.
On May 21, 2015, the Iowa Department of Agriculture banned live bird
shows to minimize the spread of the
disease, which occurs through fluid
secretions from the birds.
Effective Jan. 1, the department lifted the ban, declaring the state free of
bird flu.
David Eisentrager, of rural Dumont, has been showing chickens for
six years with 4-H and participates in
FFA.
Eisentrager, who will be a senior this
fall at Aplington-Parkersburg, spoke
about poultry health precautions following the poultry show at the Butler
County Fair on Saturday, June 25.
The birds are washed the day they
are brought into the fair “to make sure
they don’t catch anything,” Eisentrager said.
If the birds get sick, a type of antibiotic can be mixed into their water.
Every time Eisentrager has had to do
this, the birds’ illness has cleared up,
he said.
Of note, Eisentrager was named
Champion Senior Showman, which is
judged on knowledge and handling of
the birds.

LAWSUIT from page 1
ing unapproved corn in U.S. shipments,
China placed a ban on all U.S. corn imports. The price of corn proceeded to
drop precipitously from approximately
$7/bushel to approximately $3.25/
bushel in just a few months.”
By April 2014, the rejected corn
weight had reached 1.45 million metric
tons. China was not the only country
that rejected this GMO corn; 3.3 million metric tons, of U.S. corn, were rejected globally as of March 2014.
The total economic damage of Syngenta’s commercialization of Viptera
MIR162 prior to Chinese approval is
estimated to have been $1 billion up
to $2.9 billion in 2013, according to
National Grain And Feed Association,
which projected the 2014 loss at $3.4
billion. Factors considered by NGFA
include market price loss on unfulfilled
export sales, price loss on diverted sales
because of the compromised economic
negotiating position of U.S. exporters,
demurrage costs, and lower market
prices for U.S. commodities and products.
WHY MASS TORT: The Midwest
Corn Lawsuit that Lally’s employer is
undertaking is a mass tort suit, which
is different than the class action suits
many law firms are undertaking against
Syngenta. Unlike a class action suit, a
mass tort lawsuit ensures compensation
is awarded based on actual damages
and will not be settled without the client’s decision to opt-in to the proposed
settlement.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR FARMERS:
“Your damages are based on how much
corn you grew in the years in the action,
2013, 2014, and a pro-rated portion of
2015,” Lally said.
“If we lose, we get nothing, but the
plaintiffs will also never, ever receive a
bill from us,” Lally said, “which I think
speaks to how strongly the lawyers
involved in the suit believe in it. They
wouldn’t take on the costs unless they
truly believed that Syngenta committed
an actionable wrong.”
Lally covered much of northeast
Iowa in her travels in June, including
stops in the nearby counties of Bremer
Floyd, Chickasaw and Black Hawk.
FOR MORE information on this suits

515-635-1626.
LAWSUITS on similar subject matter
are pending against Syngenta in more
than 20 states due to the ag giant’s commercialization of the unapproved trait.
Some major grain handlers refuse to
accept the Viptera corn, and some have
sued or counter-sued Syngenta.
For instance after the 2011 planting
season, St. Louis-based Bunge North
America Inc. posted signs and distributed materials stating Viptera corn
would not be accepted during the 2011
harvest season, according to a similar
case in federal court in Texas. Bunge
cited lack of Chinese import approval.
In response to Bunge’s doings, Syngenta sued Bunge in federal court in the
Northern District of Iowa (Syngenta
Seeds, Inc. v. Bunge North America,
Inc., No. C 11-4074-MWB (N.D.
Iowa)) seeking injunctions for Bunge to
essentially cease and desist its protest.
It asked the courts to require Bunge to
stop posting materials about its refusal
to accept Viptera corn and sought another injunction, which would have required Bunge to accept Viptera corn at
its facilities.
Bunge replied to the lawsuit by stating that its decision not to accept Agri-
sure Viptera corn was consistent with
the North American Export Grain Association’s policy to advocate that technology providers receive all major international approvals for a trait prior to
seed sales. Bunge stated that Syngenta
had undertaken an action that could put
at risk a major export market for U.S.
corn (China).
In addition to Bunge, Archer Daniels
Midland, Cargill, and others have refused to accept Viptera corn, “because
preventing commingling is essentially
impossible,” (Lance Koop v. Syngenta
Corporation, U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Texas).
According to the information Lally
provided, in September 2014, Cargill
filed a lawsuit against Syngenta over
their commercialization of MIR162
before receiving import approval. That
same month, Trans Coastal Supply
Co., a major exporter of livestock feed,
filed a lawsuit alleging damages of $41
million because of Syngenta’s actions.
In November 2014, Archer Daniels
Midland took legal action against Syngenta (in Louisiana state court), saying
the company did not take “reasonable
stewardship practices.”
CLERK from page 1
The Iowa Courts system competes
with other cornerstone services such as
schools for state funds.
Cash has long been tight in the court
system. At or just before her tenure at
each, until present, Bausman has seen
reductions at the clerk’s offices in
Grundy Center and Hampton from five
to three.
District court, associate and magistrate judges rotate around the 2nd Judicial District, which is based in Mason
City.
Information about the fiscal 2017
Iowa Court Administration budget is
now available online. The legislature
appropriated the same amount of funding for the Iowa Judicial Branch in
fiscal 2017 as the ending fiscal year,
which is $5 million short of the amount
needed to maintain the current level
of service to Iowans, the Iowa Courts
website states.
Already, over 95 percent of the state
budget allocation was for employees,
Bausman said. The clerk’s offices already save on overhead costs by being
housed by the county governments.
For fiscal 2017, the court decided
to establish a hiring freeze for all vacancies in the judicial branch, with very
few, limited exceptions, the Iowa Judicial Branch website states.
The only job in the area publicly posted as of June 20 is a June 9 posting for a
certified shorthand reporter in Waverly
(www.iowacourts.gov/Administration/
Career_Opportunities/).
Plans for further savings include
reducing travel by 10 percent and reducing furniture by 50 percent. Some
technology funding will be shifted to
another fund. There will be a moratorium on expansion of specialty courts,
though state Supreme Court approval
will be required before a district can
eliminate any specialty court.
As part of the effort to develop long-
term planning options, the court has
asked the state court administrator to
complete a workload study of all aspects of judicial branch operations, the
website says.
This will be the first workload study
since the courts have gone to electronic
records, Bausman said.
Rae Ann Codner has been with the
Butler County Clerk of Court Office
for 32 years and will continue on.
Codner and Bausman both didn’t
think they’d see furloughs for all judicial employees, or the layoffs or the
reduced hours that they have seen.
Many offices lost people to layoffs, in
the early 2000s, Bausman said. As for
the last time money was tight, she said,
“We furloughed then did closed doors
because we had to catch up on our work
somehow.” Hours have been cut. Staff
has been shared. Bausman said there
were 63 clerks of court spread across
99 Iowa counties. Two clerks in District
2 cover four counties. Another one has
three counties. These decisions were
based on workload.
“It seems like it’s a constant downsizing,” Bausman said.
Days are never the same on the job,
Bausman said, as the clerks of court
handle issues ranging from substance
abuse, CINA cases, mental health,
civil, and probates of estate (the tension
depends on how the people coming in
can handle things, Bausman said) to
happier cases like the occasional adoption. The magistrate performs a wedding from time to time, but recording
of vital statistics such as marriages, divorces and deaths has been moved to
the county recorders.
Bausman said when she and Groen
retire, “We are going to miss Rae Ann,
all our coworkers, judges, attorneys,
law enforcement, and the others using
our system. You build up a network of
friends that become family.”

Trail committee and Butler Conservation honored
CEDAR RAPIDS — The Rolling Prairie Trail Committee and Butler County
Conservation were recognized as 2016
Partner Award winners at Trees Forever’s Annual Celebration and Awards
Dinner at The Hotel at Kirkwood in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Thursday, June
16.
The members of the Rolling Prairie
Trail Committee participated in the Iowa’s Living Roadways Trails Visioning
program in 2013, and since then, they
have worked in conjunction with Butler
County Conservation, which manages
the trail.
“This dedicated group of volunteers
and local leaders have done the planning and carrying out of an impressive
number of projects to improve the trail
while working in close partnership
with conservation staff,” Trees Forever
Program Manager Meredith Borchardt
said. “What a great example of a collaborative partnership with great outcomes!”
The groups have completed several
outstanding projects, including: plantings along the trail, informational trailhead kiosks, and a new parking area.
The committee is currently working on
safety signage at each trail and roadway
intersection.
