The Clarksville City Council would like to remind everyone
that the deadline to remove flowers, stands, and vases from
Lynwood Cemetery is June 15 to assist in mowing during the
summer months.
After June 15th, the Maintenance Department will be removing all flowers, stands or vases not on the foundations. Lynwood is a beautiful cemetery and they would like it to remain
so.
If you need guidance as to how to have flowers, vases &
stands at a grave-site all summer long and still cooperate with
the grounds crew, please feel free to contact Matt Kampman in
the Maintenance Department.
Makayla Holub created her first quilt to cover Clarksville
Community Ambulance gurney.
A pickup truck pulling an anhydrous ammonia tank lost control
in rural Clarksville last Wednesday.
Just northwest of town on 140th
Street and Range Road, the tank
rolled into a ditch, damaging the
valve cage and valves to release
the dangerous gas.
No one was harmed, but the
driver was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons, as
the nitrogen-based fertilizer can
cause death through high concen-
trations of inhalation.
Clarksville Fire spent five
hours on scene, arriving at 2 p.m.
They hosed down the toxic gas,
absorbing fumes to move the
tank out of the ditch and onto the
adjacent field.
“Anytime we deal with a call
involving anhydrous ammonia,
extra care must be taken because
of the extra hazardous conditions
that can be present,” said Fire
Chief Jon Myers. “I felt everything went as well as could be
expected.”
Based on our evidence, the
driver was going over the 35 mph
speed limit, according F.C. Cooperative Vice President of Operations Devin Mogler.
Also assisting at the scene was
Greene Fire, Department of Natural Resources, Butler County
Secondary Road and Greene F.C.
Cooperative.
“With the damage to the tank as
severe as it was, unfortunately all
the product in the tank was lost,”
Myers said. “But thanks to everyone’s efforts, the damage was
isolated. We are just lucky this
incident didn’t happen in a more
populated area.”

Holub gives back
to community
Makayla Holub presented her 4-H Citizenship Project to the Clarksville Community Ambulance June 3.
Holub’s created her first quilt to cover the ambulance’s gurney to
allow patients to feel more at home.
This marks her second citizenship project, as Holub made pillowcase
dresses for Haitian children after the 2010 earthquake.
“Citizenship is very important to all of us 4-Hers,” she says. “It is
what we do to give back to our community.” She belongs to the Butler
BB’s 4-H Club.

County bundles four bridges
to replace this summer

of the four bridges in Butler County that are being replaced this
summer. Pictured is the structure on T47 near Sinclair being rebuilt
during spring. (Pat Racette Photos)
Four steal-beam bridges in Butler
County are being replaced this summer.
The projects were bundled to save
funds worth $1.6 million in federal aid
and eligible bridge construction, using the Butler County Bridge Program
and Iowa Department of Transportation.
The four contracts include bridges
on County Road T47 near Sinclair,
County Road T16 near Austinville,
Butler Center Road near Oltmann
quarry and County Road C13 near
Vail Avenue.
“By advertising these projects together, we were able to get good competitive bids, as contractors could minimize their mobilization costs and take
advantage of economies of scale,” said
B.C. Engineer John Riherd.
Peterson Contractors, Inc., of Reinbeck is close to finishing the bridge
near Sinclair, and will also be replacing the bridges near Austinville and
Vail Avenue. Taylor Construction of
New Vienna is contracted on the other
one on Butler County Road, and is
slated to begin in July.
BRIDGES OF
BUTLER COUNTY
Butler has a total of 245 structures
(longer than 20 feet) classified as
bridges by the Federal Highway Administration.
Butler County Secondary Road
inspects each bridge in the county at
least once every two years – checking
condition, load-carrying capacity and
remaining service life. According to
Riherd, a typical bridge in the county
has an expected life of 50 to 60 years.
DETOUR ROUTES
Bridge construction of the four
structures will have comparable detour routes on paved roads.
“We encourage through traffic to
utilize the marked detour routes, but
recognize that local traffic generally
knows another way around. So oftentimes, we spend extra time keeping up
unofficial detour routes as they develop,” he said.
Call the engineer’s office at 319267-2625 for more information or to
ask questions.
Hosing down the toxic gas, Clarksville firefighters absorbed the
fumes to eventually move the tank out of the ditch and onto the
adjacent field.

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

OPINION / EDITORIAL
Are you my friend?
“It’s beautiful this morning,” said a
Hy-Vee manager ringing up my triple
antibiotic ointment in the wine and spirits area.
I was buying it for my middle finger
that got cut up playing Frisbee.
“Yeah, it looks nice out there,” I said.
But really I just wondered if it was going to stay that way.
Looking down at my irritated finger,
I happen to see my friendship bracelets
resting around my wrist. Ya see; I’ve
been making them lately, and it seems
to be a good hobby for me.
I went into JoAnn Fabrics a while
ago, and came out with embroidery
floss and a Friendship Bracelets 102
magazine. Then one night, I tried to
conjure one up. I didn’t want to waste
a $10 investment, ya know.
I picked out the widest, coolest bracelet I could find – a color change wide diamonds design. Next, I picked out color
strings of two blue, two orange and two
green; cut them six feet and overhand
knotted them.
Then I got mad. I began going knot
crazy when I couldn’t figure out what
Pat Racette
[email protected]
Pat is editor of the Butler County Tribune-Journal and the Clarksville Star.
I was doing. I made myself walk away,
take a breath and wait to get back on the
horse. I didn’t want to quit; so a couple
nights later I began tying right and left
knots from where I left off – a tattered,
nasty mess. But, I ended up making a
bracelet I could fasten around my wrist.
The pattern may have been sketchy,
and the width different proportions, but
I was proud to wear it.
As I grew interest in other simpler
designs, my right wrist grew plentiful
with colors. So I switched to my naked
left wrist, making different-colored
bracelets for both hands.
However, the real goal of these creations is giving them away. Sure, I felt
a lot of satisfaction to come up with
something so chic and cool, but the real
power was in making a bond with a
friend.
Iowa Crops & Weather Report
Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey
DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of
Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather
report released by the USDA National
Agricultural Statistical Service. The
report is released weekly from April
through October.
“Unfortunately the strong storms that
rolled through Southeast Iowa caused
some crop and property damage. Otherwise much of the state is in good
shape with planting mostly completed
and farmers now focused on scouting
fields, spraying and in-season fertilizer
applications,” Northey said.
The weekly report is also available
on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website
at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on
USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia.
The report summary follows here:
CROP REPORT
In spite of rains during the week, corn
and soybean progress remained ahead
of normal in Iowa for the week ending
June 8, 2014, according to the USDA,
National Agricultural Statistics Service.
Statewide there were 4.0 days suitable
for fieldwork. Farmers in southwest
Iowa were concerned about damage
caused by the June 3rd storm. Other activities for the week included spraying,
herbicide application, and field side
dressing.
Recent precipitation increased soil
moisture levels. Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 10 percent short, 79 percent adequate and 10
percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels
rated 5 percent very short, 22 percent
short, 68 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus. Southwest and south central Iowa were the wettest with over 30
percent of topsoil in surplus condition.
Ninety-eight percent of the corn acreage has emerged, 18 percentage points
ahead of last year and 4 percentage
points ahead of the five year average.
Corn condition rated 1 percent very
poor, 2 percent poor, 15 percent fair,
64 percent good, and 18 percent excellent. With soybean planting nearing
completion, 87 percent of the crop has
emerged, 3 weeks in front of last year
and just over a week ahead of normal.
The season’s first soybean condition
rating came in at 1 percent very poor, 2
percent poor, 16 percent fair, 64 percent
good, and 17 percent excellent. Twenty-four percent of the oat crop has headed, ahead of last year’s 14 percent but
behind average by 7 percentage points.
Oat condition rated 0 percent very poor,
1 percent poor, 32 percent fair, 55 percent good, and 12 percent excellent.
The first cutting of alfalfa hay was
42 percent complete, 33 percentage
points ahead of the previous year but
9 points less than average. Hay condition was rated 0 percent very poor, 3
good, and 18 percent excellent. Pasture
condition rated 1 percent very poor, 6
good and 16 percent excellent. Livestock conditions were reported as average.
Iowa Preliminary
Weather Summary
By Harry Hillaker, State Climatologist,
Iowa Department of Agriculture &
Land Stewardship
It was a very active week of weather
across Iowa. Three large precipitation
events on Sunday (1st), Tuesday (3rd)
and Saturday (7th) brought copious
amounts of rain to much of the state.
The Sunday event brought heaviest
rain, along with some high winds, to
northwest and far western Iowa with
Cherokee reporting 4.11 inches of rain.
The Tuesday event brought a very
damaging combination of large hail
and high winds to parts of southwestern Iowa, roughly along and south of
a Harrison County to Decatur County
line. Very heavy rain fell over the
same southwestern counties while rain
amounts decreased to just sprinkles in
far northeast Iowa. Lamoni Airport
reported 5.65 inches of rain with this
second event. The final event came
on Saturday and brought showers and
thunderstorms to much of the southeast
two-thirds of Iowa but without any severe weather. Bloomfield reported the
most rain with this Saturday event with
2.76 inches. Overall weekly rain totals
varied from 0.43 inches at Cedar Falls
to 7.30 inches at Red Oak, 7.17 inches
at Oakland and 7.05 inches at Lamoni
Airport. There was a statewide average
of 2.33 inches of rain. This was double
the weekly normal of 1.17 inches and
was the highest weekly average since
late May 2013. Finally, there were also
several reports of large hail over far
northwestern Iowa on Thursday afternoon. Sunday (1st) was the warmest
day of the reporting week except in the
rain cooled northwest portion of the
state. Warm and humid air also dominated all but northwest Iowa on Monday (2nd) while temperatures averaged
a few degrees either side of normal for
the remainder of the week. Temperature extremes varied from a Sunday
(1st) afternoon high of 92 degrees at
Little Sioux to a Sunday (8th) morning
low of 45 degrees at Spencer. Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged
2.7 degrees above normal.

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

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

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

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

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

Northeast
Bluegill - Good: Fish a small
piece of worm under a slip bobber
just off of the shoreline as bluegill
are on the spawning beds. Casey Lake
Northeast
Largemouth Bass - Good: Try
casting spinner or crank baits, rubber worms along the dam or off of
the jetties for good action. Plenty of
bass ranging in the 13” to 16” size
range. Casey Lake
Northeast
Channel Catfish - Good: Try fishing off of the old beach area with
stinkbait, nightcrawlers or leopard
frogs for some trophy catfish. Late
afternoon, early evening has been
the best. Cedar River
(above Nashua)
Northeast
Scattered showers are forecast
for the weekend. Area rivers are

Fizz, Boom, Read!
Summer Reading Program
Affirmative! Week #2 of the summer reading programs were a success!
Ninety-two kids and nineteen adults attended the two programs on Tuesday,
June 3rd for a day all about robots!
The kids in the morning session
pushed their robot button to activate
their eyes and ears so they could enjoy the stories, songs and rhymes all
about robots! They munched on nuts
and bolts (Chex party mix) while listening to stories, including: Boy + Bot
by Ame Dykman, Robots Everywhere
by Denny Hebsen, and Robot, Zombie,
Frankenstein by Annette Simon.
The scientists then created their own
robots out of shapes. We also examined
our color-changing flowers experiment
from last week, and the white flowers
are now colored red, blue, green and
yellow!
The new experiment for the day was
a Mentos and Diet Coke Geyser. The
entire group marched north across the
street to the parking lot and counted
down as Miss Beaker dropped the
candy into the pop and cheered as it
erupted into the air!
Later that afternoon, the 2nd-5th graders also participated in creating robots,
but theirs were in 3D as they constructed robots out of recyclable items. Each
robot was given a name and also one
special function that it could do (several of the robots are capable of cleaning
kids’ rooms)! All of these robots will
be on display at the library for another
week, so stop by to take a look at the
kids’ handiwork!
Back in the parking lot, we tried the
Mentos/pop geysers again, but this
time we tried some variations—here
are our findings: sparkling/carbonated
water does react to the Mentos, but not
very well (a very small eruption). Sprite
works a little bit better. Six mentos in
Diet Coke will create an eruption about
7-foot high! And, eight mentos in the
Diet Coke will create an eruption approximately 8 to 9-foot high and will
also soak the librarian that doesn’t get
out of the way fast enough!
Congratulations to Sydnee Bliss and
Conner Freerks for receiving Fizz,
Boom, READ! shirts! Their reading
logs were drawn from the Readbot
Robot to receive the first t-shirts of the
program!
Keep reading and filling out those
logs for a chance to win a prize—additional logs are available at the checkout
desk!
LIBRARY CLOSED
The library will be closed for regular
hours on Saturday, June 14th for Pioneer Days. Enjoy the parade and other

Sydnee Bliss’ reading chart was drawn from the Readbot Robot
as the first winner of a Fizz, Boom, READ t-shirt! Congrats!
Miss Kris retreats from the eruption of the Diet
Coke! The afternoon group decided that Diet Coke
worked the best with the Mentos to create a pop
geyser!

and other various recyclable items.

The Way It Was
by Dave Clark
110 Years Ago
Spring 1904
Ed Madigan, Publisher
At the council meeting on Monday
evening it was ordered that a cement
sidewalk, curb and gutter be established
from the bank to Neal’s restaurant (East
side of Main.)
The Sexton of Lynwood Cemetery
was also ordered to secure 150 evergreens and plant them in the cemetery.
Three weeks later: At their meeting
Saturday evening, the council ordered
cement sidewalk placed on Main Street
from the auditorium to the Tremont
House. (West side of Main) It is not
clear who paid for this work, city or
businessmen.
What has become of the Library
Association is a question that many
are asking? That it was not dead was
evident from the reports brought in at
a meeting of the Board of Trustees held
Tuesday evening May 3.
A goodly number of names for membership and an encouraging number of
offers, both of books and cash donations is the result of the work so far.
In order to more quickly cover the territory and give every one a chance to
become a member of the association,
it was decided to have a canvass of the
town.
Remember the $1.00 membership
fee entitles you to the use of all books
for one year. It would be fair to say today, that the first Library Association
certainly had no idea what this early
gathering of members would one day
become.
The number of poles held up by fisherman on Sunday, along the banks of
the Shell Rock, was innumerable. But
the catches are said to have been few.
Sunday fishing is not in strict conformity with the laws of great commonwealth of Iowa, and as there appears to
be a great desire these days to keep violating all of the enactments of the legislature, locally, it is possible that many
catches have not been reported. There
are reports that much illegal fishing has
been going on, especially with seines.
This may account for scarcity of the
fish. I went fishing the other day and I
can report that the fish apparently have
not recovered from all those long ago
violations, at least I didn’t do anything
illegal.
To The Public: Mr. Huber, the tailor,
has adopted a new idea, aside from
his regular tailoring. He will take your

Clarksville’s CHS baseball coach
Bob Sanders received a severe facial injury Monday afternoon when he struck
by a batted ball. A bone in the face was
broken and he was taken to Mason City
where he entered the hospital for treatment by a specialist. The accident occurred during the preliminary warm-up
before the game between Clarksville
and Plainfield. Coach Sanders was
walking across the infield when he was
hit by a ball from the bat of a Plainfield
player taking batting practice.
He remained at the diamond and saw
his charges defeat Plainfield by a 13-0
score.
From Gomer’s Now and Then Column: “Every time I hear one of the socalled “top tunes” of today I can think
of only one thing—if this is “tops” what
can the “bottom” sound like.” Amen!
Floyd Asher, 61, a prominent resident of Clarksville for many years
died Monday May 11 at St. Petersburg,
Florida where he and Mrs. Asher had
moved last fall. In 1922 he was married
to Marie Stripple of Vinton, Iowa and
they were the parents of two children
William of Clarksville and Mrs. Don
Van Vlack of Waterloo.
He was president and manager of
the Clarksville Canning Company for
about 20 years prior to its closing in
1957.
He was a veteran of WW I, a member
of the American Legion, past master of
the Masonic Lodge in Clarksville, past
president of the Clarksville Lions Club
and a past president of the Iowa-Nebraska Canners Association. He graduated from Clarksville High School in
1914 and attended Iowa State Teachers
College.
His death was a profound shock to his
many friends in this community.
Services were held in the Clarksville
Community Church with burial in
Lynwood Cemetery. As a mark of respect to the family the business firms
in Clarksville were closed during the
services.

“I’ve tied my best for him,” Marvin
Pincus said, looking semi-depressed.
“I swear I don’t know what that fish
wants.”
“You’re the best fly tier in the valley,
Marvin,” Steve added. “If your flies
can’t do it, I’m wondering if anything
can.”
“Have you tried using bait?” Mavis
asked. “My brother does okay with
worms and salmon eggs.”
Every member of the world dilemma
think tank gave hostile stares at their
friendly waitress until she remembered
something in the kitchen and left in a
hurry.
“Bait? Use BAIT?” Doc moaned.
Marvin nodded. “Might just as well
shoot the dang fish.”
Life, after all, would mean nothing
without standards and values.

Fresh strawberries, a favorite of almost everyone, are relatively easy
to grow and hardy throughout Iowa.
Strawberry plants require full sun,
well-drained soils and good management to produce abundant, sweet fruit.
Horticulturists with Iowa State Univesity Extension and Outreach provide
care and management information for
the home gardener. To have additional
questions answered, contact Hortline at
[email protected] or 515-294-3081.
When should strawberries be harvested?
Harvest strawberries when the fruit
are uniformly red (fully ripe). Pick the
berries with the caps and stems attached
to retain firmness and quality. Pinch off
the stem about one-fourth inch above
the cap.
Strawberries should be picked about
every other day in warm weather, every
three to four days in cool weather. The
harvest period for some June-bearing
cultivars may last three to four weeks.
Strawberries can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five to seven days.
Optimum storage conditions are a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit and a
relative humidity of 90 to 95 percent.
Some of the strawberries in my garden are covered with a gray, velvety
growth. What is it and how can it be
controlled?
The gray, velvety growth on the berries is probably gray mold. It is also
known as Botrytis fruit rot. Gray mold
is favored by poor air circulation and a
high humidity in the strawberry planting. The most commonly infected berries are those touching the soil or other
infected berries.
Cultural practices can reduce losses
due to gray mold.
• Do not fertilize June-bearing strawberries in spring. The application of a
nitrogen-containing fertilizer in spring
promotes lush, vegetative growth.
Dense foliage slows the drying of the
strawberry planting, resulting in a more
favorable environment for gray mold.
• Control weeds in the strawberry bed.
Weeds reduce air circulation and slow
the drying of the strawberry plants.
• Mulch the planting with straw to
keep the berries off the ground. Berries
resting on a damp or wet soil are more
susceptible to gray mold.
• During dry weather, irrigate in the

“What do you figure he’ll weigh now,
Doc?” said Steve. Mavis topped off
their cups at the philosophy counter of
the Mule Barn coffee shop.
“A good three pounds, if my guessing is any good,” Doc said, shaking his
head.
“Your dog?” asked Mavis.
“No, Hon,” Doc said with a smile,
“Ol’ Lunker, that big trout down in
Lewis Creek.”
The best fly tying and fly fishing had
failed to bring O.L. to the net for a long
time now. Oh, sometimes he’d investigate a fly closely and start a near panic
attack in the angler, but then he’d turn
back into his hole and let the fly drift on
by. It was maddening.
“Maybe he’s just smart,” Dud said.
“Instinct, I think,” said Doc. “I just
don’t think any trout is all that smart.
But instinct could account for it. He

Sanitation is the best management
strategy for sap beetles in home gardens. Keep the strawberry patch as
clean as possible through timely picking and removal of damaged, diseased
and overripe fruit.
Insecticide sprays are available for
sap beetles, but they are difficult to use
because they are applied to a crop that
is ready for harvest or while harvest is
underway. If you do spray, use an insecticide with a short harvest-waiting
interval and follow label directions
carefully.
Why do my strawberries have a
slightly bitter taste?
The flavor of most fruits and vegetables is influenced by weather conditions. In regards to strawberries, warm
sunny weather produces the most
flavorful fruit. When the weather is
extremely hot, the berries may have a
slightly bitter taste. Strawberry plants
produce smaller quantities of sugars
when the weather is cool and cloudy.
As a result, berries are not as sweet
when the weather is cool and rainy in
May and June.
Leather rot, caused by a fungal disease, can be a problem in wet weather.
Infected fruit have a leathery texture
and bitter taste.
How long can I expect my June-bearing strawberry planting to be productive?
June-bearing strawberry plantings
that are well-maintained and renovated
annually should remain productive for
four or five years. Poorly managed beds
may be productive for only two or three
years. It’s time to plant a new strawberry bed when berry size and numbers
decline.

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

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