Sheffield Press 14 • ‘High-risk’ Allison trees removed Sigourney News-Review Station serves many waste needs The Leader Solid waste, clothes, electronics, metals, appliances taken Village Vine Mira Schmitt-Cash Editor Those following this series on the What Cheer Paper Station know Butler County Transfer what to do with part-full hazardous materials (part one, April 23) and recycling (part two, April 30). What about garbage — or used clothing and housewares, electronics, construction and demolition materials? Those also are brought to the Transfer Station, in the case of city garbage, or can be, for other items. The station is on Highway 3 east of Sinclair Avenue. SOLID WASTE: “We get what you call municipal solid waste from every town in Butler County,” Transfer Station Director Tom Cain said. The system’s setup guarantees haulers will bring municipal waste from Butler County to the Transfer Station, Cain said. “The haulers don’t have to pay us to bring (Butler County solid waste) here,” Cain said, “If they take it anywhere else, it’s going to cost them money.” So who pays? City residents pay their solid waste bill. Cities pay the hauler for collection and the Butler County Transfer Station a per-person fee. The cost to rural residents is covered in the county tax base. Rural residents can haul in their own solid waste or hire a hauler. Construction and demolition waste is accepted from residents countywide and haulers at $18 per cubic yard, Cain said. For example, shingles, wood, metal, wire, insulation, light fixtures, windows and doors are taken. Technically asbestos is not taken at the Transfer Station, though for $55 a ton, the Transfer Station coordinates asbestos disposal with the Butler-HardinGrundy Rural Iowa Landfill, operated by the the Rural Iowa Waste Management Association. “That’s also where all our municipal solid waste and construction demolition materials brought here go,” Ramker said. The Transfer Station, not a third party, trucks this all to the landfill. It averages to two semi-trailer loads of garbage a day, for which RIWMA charges Butler County $45 a ton, its website says. Other hazardous materials found in construction that the Transfer Station Regional Collection Center will handle Pleasant Valley Ice Cream Social to be June 14 Pleasant Valley First United Church of Christ will hold their annual ice cream social on Sunday, June 14, serving from 5-7 p.m. in the fellowship hall. The menu includes maidrites, smoked pork loin sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, potato salad, baked beans, pie, ice cream and a drink for a freewill offering. Pleasant Valley is located at 31015 150th St., rural Clarksville. ELECTRONICS: Though Goodwill does not accept electronics, the Transfer Station does. It ships them to Midwest Electronic Recovery in Walford, near Cedar Rapids. METALS: The Transfer Station takes most any metal at $18 per cubic yard — though not cars. Metal items such as ceiling fans, bed frames, aluminum siding, storm windows and doors, lawn mowers and bikes are all accepted. Metals are shipped to Alter Metal Recycling in Waterloo. Matt Ramker, Greene, is to fill Tom Cain’s position as director of the Butler County Transfer Station when Cain retires June 30.

(TJ photos by Mira Schmitt-Cash) Allan crowned Miss Allison Caitlin Allan will represent Allison at the 2015 Butler County Fair Queen Contest on June 24. Allan, the daughter of Wendy Hansen and Dave Allan, was crowned Miss Allison 2015 by 2014 Miss Allison Madyson Bixby at the Allison Commercial Club hamburger and brat fry Friday, May 29. After giving a thank-you speech, Allan sang a few tunes with the Sugar Daddys Jazz Band. She has been singing with the Sugar Daddys for a year. She first sang in public at age 14 in the North Butler Middle School spring variety show, she said. Look for her with the Sugar Daddys this summer at Wilder Park and with friends at the Bill Riley Talent Search at the County Fair. Allan graduated May 17, 2015, from North Butler High School. Runner-up was Stephanie Lursen, daughter of Scott and Robin Lursen. Miss Congeniality was Karley Anderson, daughter of Kristi Anderson. Bixby was named Miss Congeniality at last year’s County Fair.

Other groups and businesses are still welcome to donate, said Jamie Osterbuhr, pool committee member. — Mira Schmitt-Cash Wilder Park concert series announced The Butler County Solid Waste Commission oversees operation at the Transfer Station. The general board, which meets annually, offers seats to a representative of each town, with which the county has intergovernmental sharing agreements (28Es). That board elects an executive board, which does most of the heavy lifting. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources requires the sharing agreements to ensure garbage is handled to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards. “The DNR set up rules that designate the operation of landfills so everything is handled correctly and protects the ecology of the state,” Cain said. Groundwater is an important part of that ecology, Cain said. The landfill is cupped with an outside clay liner and inside plastic liner, which all drains into a sand filtration system in the bottom. The filtration system funnels into a leachate pipe, which pumps the gray water (or dirty water) to a storage tank for any liquid that goes through the garbage — rain, for instance. The water is hauled to a city water treatment facility and run through a purification system where any toxins are removed (to EPA standards) and the water is released back into the natural waterways. The director and executive board oversee the $750,000-range annual operating budget. At monthly meetings, the executive board and director handle such details as personnel, equipment, policies and operations. Fuel spills to stream in Butler County AREDALE – An estimated 10 gallons of diesel fuel and hydraulic oil spilled into a small creek when a construction crane overturned in Butler County Monday evening. The crane downed power lines at the construction site half a mile west of Aredale, hampering the crane’s remov- al and fuel recovery. The county’s emergency management coordinator, Waterloo Haz Mat and Taylor Construction worked Monday and Tuesday to remove the crane and capture petroleum products in Boylan Creek. DNR staff said the fuel traveled about three miles downstream before it was contained, but there is no fish kill. The DNR will continue to monitor cleanup over the next week. The creek flows into the west fork of the Cedar River more than eight miles downstream.

PAWS Humane Society introduces pet microchipping procedure CHARLES CITY — PAWS Humane Society of Charles City is now offering the Fur-Keeps microchip program for all dogs that are adopted out to families. The microchip program will ensure the pet’s safe return, should they ever become lost or separated from their adopted families. With a grant from the Floyd County Community Foundation, the basic equipment including a scanner and a supply of microchips were purchased. Once a pet receives a microchip, adopting families are asked to register their pet online. After 25 pets have been registered, a box of 25 free microchips is sent to PAWS. “The program is self-sustaining once the basic equipment is in place,” Director Julie Taylor said. “When families register their newly adopted pets online, it counts towards a box of 25 free microchips that will be used for future adopted pets.” PAWS is now scanning each animal that arrives to check for a microchip. This procedure has already quickly reunited one dog that came in recently with his owner. Placement of the microchip is a quick process and is not painful to the pet. So far, 10 dogs and one cat have received microchips. The Floyd County (PAWS) Humane Society is a no-kill animal shelter that was started in 2000 in Charles City.

Box 8 Allison, IA 50602-0008 OPINION / EDITORIAL 4 • Thursday, June 4, 2015 • Clarksville Star • Butler County Tribune-Journal • Under the Golden Dome Too By State Representative Linda Upmeyer House District 54 [email protected] (515) 281-4618 The calendar has flipped to June and our work in the legislature continues. You may be wondering why this legislative session has gone into overtime. Simply put, we are fighting to ensure the long-term economic health of our state is not compromised and funding for services to Iowans remains viable year after year. When negotiations began this year, over $200 million separated us from the Senate Majority party. This level of spending would require us to spend more than we take in this year, and therefore risk putting our state in a dangerous economic position. I think most would agree that with $180 million in new revenue, we should be able to fund the priorities of Iowans. If not, we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. A question I often ask myself is, when will the next fiscal crisis or economic emergency occur in our state? Obviously, that is something we are unable to predict. Therefore, the only prudent thing to do is be responsible and plan ahead. Rather than spend every penny, we should make sure the state is prepared for what the future may bring. For example, it will be some time before we can fully realize the impact the avian flu will have on the jobs and economy of our state. Despite our budgeting differences, we are meeting regularly with the Senate Majority party to find compromise on the areas in which we vary and put together a budget that is responsible and sustainable well into the future. Not too long ago, Iowans experienced the ramifications of irresponsible budgeting practices. Due to careless budgeting decisions prior to us coming into the Majority in the House and under the previous administration, Iowans saw a $500 million property tax increase, the state borrowed $800 million that costs taxpayers double to pay back, and there was a $700 million spending gap for the new governor and legislature to fix. Upon coming into the Majority, we adopted a set of core budgeting principles that have guided our state into a healthier and more certain economic time. We continue to stand by these principles and will not return to the poor budgeting decisions of the past. We are committed to spending less than we take in and the practice of using one-time money for ongoing expenditures has been abandoned. We have stood by these principles for the last four legislative sessions and have never failed to find common ground with the Senate Majority party. We expect that to continue this year. Going forward, we will not waiver from these principles that have served our state well. Just like a family’s personal budget, Iowans expect government to live within its means. Every dollar the state spends that we don’t have, jeopardizes the financial security of Iowa taxpayers and families. We know you expect us to pass a responsible and sustainable budget that meets the needs of Iowans; and that is a commitment we will deliver on. If you have any feedback or questions about the budget or other issues before us, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at linda. [email protected] or 515281-4618. Reach Iowa Rep. Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake, the House Switchboard, 515-281-3221, at 641-3578807 or email linda.upmeyer@legis. iowa.gov.

To the Editor: I’ve been noticing lately, when kids get home from school they go straight to their electronics, like their phone, tablet or computer, and if they don’t have a computer they go to the library to use theirs. I think kids should be unplugged from their electronics and instead they should be outside, and be active. A reason why is because being outside gives you vitamin D, which is good for you, and if everyone is inside, they won’t get that kind of nutrition. Vitamin D also helps you absorb calcium. It helps kids develop a normal growth of bones and teeth. Also it can defend you from some kind of diseases. Children and teens need 600 international units [of Vitamin D] a day. I also think parents need to give their kids a limit on their electronics and they should tell them to get outside and ride their bike, take their dog on a walk, or even just play outside. That will make kids’ muscles stronger and healthier. Also kids can go to the park or even their backyard and find new things they’ve never seen before like birds, bugs, animals, or even plants, and they could see that is more fun than doing a scavenger hunt on their electronics. What would be better for them is to be outside doing those things, because doing them on electronics is unhealthy for kids. So what I’m saying is that kids need to […] have a limit on their electronics, and the rest of the time kids will be outside having fun. Thank you for […] reading my letter. Sincerely, Allison Rosol, Dumont Keeping Higher Ed affordable will strengthen Iowa economy For many, school does not stop with high school graduation. Increasingly, good jobs require higher education or worker training. Iowans of all ages and backgrounds need access to college to build a better future for themselves and their families. Ideally, these opportunities should be as affordable as possible. Taking on massive student debt is another roadblock to achieving success, to strengthening our middle class and to growing our economy. Iowa students already graduate with more student loan debt than in most other states. That leads some graduates to leave the state in search of higher paying jobs elsewhere. Community colleges work with employers to address local skilled worker shortages and provide an affordable path to a four-year degree. Senate Democrats propose investing $8 million more in Iowa’s community colleges. At our three state universities, Should the minimum wage be raised? Some thoughts On Wednesday, May 27 the executive director of the Iowa Citizen Action Network, Sue Dinsdale, and a candidate for U.S. Senate, Bob Krause, addressed a public meeting at the Clarksville School library “community room.” It was the second meeting I have covered organized by the Butler County Democrats. To my knowledge, the County Republicans haven’t held any similar meetings since one hosting local legislators a mere week after a county legislative forum. If they would like to organize a public event, they are welcomed to alert me/the area press to it. To keep the appearance of bias out of the news coverage, you are reading this on the Opinion page. (I added some personal perspective at the end.) One of the speakers was Bob Krause, who said he is running against U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley. (Krause has not yet filed this election cycle, 2016, with the Federal Election Commission. An FEC filing from his 2010 U.S. Senate race shows he raised just north of $23,000 that cycle.) The wage floor Now, Iowa’s minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. President Barack Obama has pushed for raising it to $10.10. A compromise bill for an $8.75 minimum wage passed this year’s Democrat-controlled Iowa Senate but died in the Republican-controlled House. County Democrats Chair David Mansheim said when employers pay the bare minimum wage, employees rely on food stamps and other services. “It’s not a giveaway to the poor; its a subsidy to employers who pay poor wages,” Mansheim said. He said that since 1980, productivity has climbed “exponentially” and wages have stagnated. Dinsdale Dinsdale said over half of states that raised minimum wage during Mira’s Musings Mira Schmitt-Cash, Editor [email protected] Bob Krause speaks at a public meeting in Clarksville on Wednesday, May 27. He supports increasing stagnant wages, he said. high unemployment showed an unemployment decrease. Minimum wage for tipped workers is $4.35 in Iowa for workers making more than $30 a month in tips, according to Dinsdale and Iowa Workforce. If a waitress (Dinsdale’s example) wants to show she is not getting minimum on her own, she has to track all pay and all tips, and calculate whether that equals minimum wage. Then she has to go to employer and ask to be put on a better shift — or tell the employer she needs more money, Dinsdale said. I believe she rolled her eyes at the last part — indicating that might be awkward. She cited a Des Moines Register poll saying 60 percent of Iowans support increasing the minimum wage. Dinsdale also cited several statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor, such as • “A June 2014 survey found that more than 3 out of 5 small business owners support increasing the minimum wage to $10.10. Small business owners believe that a higher minimum wage would benefit business in important ways: [Fifty-eight percent] say raising the minimum wage would increase consumer purchasing power. [Fifty-six percent] say raising the minimum wage would help the economy. In addition, 53 [percent] agree that with a higher minimum wage, businesses would benefit from lower employee turnover, increased productivity and customer satisfaction.” • “Since 1938, the federal minimum wage has been increased 22 times. For more than 75 years, real GDP per capita has steadily increased, even when the minimum wage has been raised.” Young Dinsdale applauded Iowa employers who pay a living wage, drawing attention to, for instance, ReShonda Young of Popcorn Heaven in Waterloo (who also spoke about the importance of a living wage) and the Raygun T-shirt company. She said employees are so loyal to those businesses it saves them money in the long run. Recently Young had an event where she sold popcorn to men for $1 and to women 77 cents, Dinsdale said. The numbers indicate the average wage-gender gap. “In terms of leadership at the company, I have adults who have lots of expenses and I want to keep them, they’re really, really good,” Young said. “Turnover has been … we lost just one person because of health problems.” She said her employees are committed to Popcorn Heaven and the growth of the company. They know she pays them more because she cares about them, she said. The White House recently honored her as a “Champion of Change.” According to the write-up: “Young has been an active voice on Working Family issues [such as] advocating for pay equity, healthcare reform and an increase in the minimum wage. [… Young] is a founding member of the Iowa Main Street Alliance, a board member of the Main Street Alliance, and a USAction Board Member.” there will be a tuition freeze for instate students for a third straight year under the Senate’s budget proposal. Senate Democrats also support an increase in tuition grants for Iowa students attending our private colleges. The budget approved by the Senate Democrats proves we can invest in education at all levels and balance the budget responsibly. The Senate does it with an overall budget the same size as the budget proposed by Governor Terry Branstad. Education remains at the forefront of discussions in the Legislature, but with the start of summer vacation, here are some ways to enjoy it: • Free fishing, June 5-7 - Iowa residents may fish without a license as part of the Iowa’s free fishing weekend. DNR staff will be at popular fishing spots across the state to help beginner anglers get started. They will assist with setting up fishing poles and distribute small kits with basic tackle for panfishing, along with tips and a few fun items. • Iowa’s historic sites - Learn about the early inhabitants of Iowa, see the homes and lifestyles of significant Iowa politicians, discover the trade of blacksmithing, visit the iconic American Gothic House, and get to know more about Lewis and Clark. For information on all of Iowa’s historic sites and to plan a visit, go to www.iowahistory.org/historicsites. Reach Iowa Sen. Amanda Ragan, D-Mason City, at the Senate Switchboard, 515-281-3371, at home, 641-424-0874, or email [email protected]. She serves on the committees of human resources (vice-chair), agriculture committee (vice-chair), health and human services appropriations subcommittee (chairwoman), appropriations, natural resources and environment, rules and administration and veterans affairs. He cited data that 40 percent of Iowa’s children have parents with incomes so low it knocks down their IQ by 20 percentage points. “We need to stop this if we are to prevent a permanent poverty class in America,” he said. Krause is president of the Veterans National Recovery Center, a former legislator and school board member (Waterloo), part-owner of a family farm passed down for over a century, and a former member of President Jimmy Carter’s administration. He and his wife are small real estate developers in Fairfield. His website is Krause for Iowa. com. Does a living wage include Internet or a cellphone? Most people need one or both of those to look for a job and await a call back. I would just have the phone; my husband also buys the Internet and keeps an older cellphone. Does it account for the fact many older homes that wind up as rental properties aren’t properly insulated, or insulated at all, and wind up paying higher heating bills? In the bitter winter of 2014 one of our winter utility bills for a roomy duplex topped $600. Needless to say, winter 2015, we went chiefly with space heaters. Fortunately, my parents came up and helped weatherize our current place last winter. Does a living wage take into account that we can’t rent a one-bedroom apartment because of the short time during the summer when a family member comes to visit? And does a living wage include providing for pets — which for many people keep us sane? As for eating fresh food regularly — let’s just say, eating a veggie sub every day wouldn’t make my wallet any fatter. (Remember that Subway commercial?) What should I do? Drop my human and animal connections and live in a studio apartment? Me Since it’s my column, here’s my two cents’ worth. It would be great if everyone were paid a living wage. But it would be OK if people who make the bare minimum got an increase and could enjoy some of the things I take for granted like the ability to pay my part of the bills. Still, like many, I gripe about the cost of living. The ideal of paying just a quarter to a third of one’s after-tax income toward rent, utilities, and so on that my mother instilled me has been out of reach most of my working life. It’s a large chunk of my income, as family healthcare is for my husband. Yes, we share bills. Krause Krause said middle income Americans are facing stagnant wages. He advocated for a living minimum wage that tracks with the cost of living and no fast-tracking of trade agreements that he says destroy more middle class income than they create. Krause also wants better protection for hours and conditions of employment, he said.

Membership Statistics Research indicates an ongoing decline in membership in organized religious organizations. The following are what research indicates regarding some of the denominations in our country since 1970. The traditional Protestant denominations report the greatest declines in the past 45 years. The United Church of Christ reports a 48 percent decline in membership. The Presbyterian Church reports down 36 percent. The United Methodist Church reports down 30 percent. The ELCA (Lutheran) denomination reports down 27 percent. The Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, reports down 12 percent. The Southern Baptist group of churches report their membership is no longer increasing, but continues the same, at about the number of members reported in recent years. There are some religious groups that report increases in membership during this time. However, statisticians have raised the question whether their statistics are measuring membership in the same way as the denominations quoted above. For example, some denominational groups count all who have been baptized, and not whether they have signif- 5 Open Bible Church Pastor Matt Miller 1013 E.

Some report “conversions” to their church, but not whether these new members become long term active members. Others count persons coming Christmas and Easter and they are otherwise not much involved in being active members. Some, especially those seeking to attract members through contemporary workshop services, attract some members for a while, but, in time this contemporary approach becomes less entertaining and interesting to the new member and many drop out after a year or two of attending services. Also, research indicates that few persons join an organized church of any kind coming from the secular culture. Most new members transfer in from a more traditional denomination. I have friends and acquaintances in various church groups across the country, and in visiting with them this past year, all report about the same as what the research indicates above. What one makes of all this is open to discussion. We, of course, need to give all research prayerful thought. We remember that in a changing culture we still are called to be faithful followers of Jesus Christ. —Pastor Ralph Wedeking Allison Congregational Church Cheryl Ann (Grapp) Stevens Cheryl Ann (Grapp) Stevens, 53 of Palm Island (Knights Island), FL, died May 24, 2015, of a fire in their home along with son, Jake Stevens.

Meeting called to order at 9:00 a.m. by Chairman Tom Heidenwirth with members Rex Ackerman and Rusty Eddy present. Also present were Engineer John Riherd, County Attorney Greg Lievens, Emergency Management Coordinator Mitch Nordmeyer and Fern Myers, Allison, Iowa. Minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved as read. Board met with New Hartford Mayor John Anderson and City Council members Larry Bass and Gordy Ballhagen for further discussion regarding local road extension of Hwy 57 into New Hartford. Also present were Recorder Janice Jacobs and Mira Schmitt-Cash, Mid-America Publishing. Sharing formulas were discussed as well as potential construction options. Following discussion, the city representatives are interested in a change to the Farm to Market designation to include this road rather than establishing a cost sharing formula.

Diane claims Thompson, Iowa as her hometown, and reads Mid-America Marketplace in the Buffalo Center Tribune. This recipe reminds me of all the fabulous cooks (lunchroom ladies) who prepared the meals for all K-12 students at the Thompson Community School, Thompson, IA in the ‘60s and ‘70s. I personally enjoyed the delicious, homemade brownies with the thick chocolate frosting. Other alumni talk about the delicious chili and fresh cinnamon rolls, grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup, homemade hamburger pizza, hamburger gravy on mashed potatoes, sloppy joe sandwiches, chicken gravy on biscuits, lettuce sandwiches (yes, lettuce) and all the other tasty foods they prepared from scratch. We were fortunate to have these lovely ladies fill our tummies and keep us going during each busy school day! Thanks, lunchroom ladies: Geneva Thorland, Alma Thomas, Evelyn Tordoff, Mary Ryerson, Marge Thorland, Donna Lande, Edna Sime, Cora Lura, Alice Hagenson and Evonne Larson. (Hope I didn’t forget anyone.) —Diane Penning f you find your recipe repertoire growing stale, now is the perfect time to experiment with new seafood recipes your family will love. Seafood makes a delicious centerpiece of any meal, and preparing seafood can actually be quite simple. Pan-steaming is one easy preparation that leaves the seafood moist and makes a quick and easy sauce, too. The technique, demonstrated in this recipe for a rich, buttery lemon sauce, is perfect for Alaska Sockeye salmon, as well as other species, including Alaska halibut or Alaska cod. At the grocery store, look for high-quality fish, such as Alaska Seafood, which is additive-free, lean and full of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Sustainable practices used in fishing Alaska salmon, shellfish and whitefish varieties also mean you can feel good about serving Alaska Seafood to your family. For more delicious recipes and preparation tips, visit www.wildalaskaseafood.com. Pan-Steamed Alaska Seafood Marseilles Lunchroom Ladies Brownies 1 c. butter ½ c. baking cocoa 2 c. flour 2 c. sugar Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Servings: 4 4 eggs 4 tsp. vanilla 1 c. chopped nuts Mix and spread into 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°. (Check at 20 minutes, so you don’t overbake.) Icing 1/4 c. softened butter ¼ c. canned milk (regular milk is fine) ¼ c. baking cocoa 3 c. powdered sugar Dash of salt 4 Alaska Salmon or whitefish fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh or thawed 1 lemon, thinly sliced 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/8 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 cup white wine (sauvignon blanc or chardonnay) 2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic 2 tablespoons minced fresh herbs Remove seafood fillets from refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking. Fill 12-inch skillet with 1 inch of water. Add lemon slices and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Rinse seafood in cold water and pat dry; season with salt and pepper. Add seafood to pan, skin side down. Cover pan tightly and cook for 4 minutes, or until seafood is lightly translucent in the center, checking at thickest part. Remove seafood from pan and let rest a minute; it will finish cooking from retained heat. Remove lemon slices from steaming liquid. Create quick reduction sauce with remaining liquid by adding wine, butter, garlic and herbs to pan. Combine ingredients and continue to simmer, allowing liquid to reduce to desired thickness. To serve, transfer lemon slices and fillets to plates; drizzle fillets with sauce. ✁ CLIP & SAVE Wanted: Recipes Mix ingredients together and frost top of cooled brownies.

He’s seen North Butler enough to know that when the Bearcats get on base, they aren’t afraid to try things, like the suicide squeeze bunt in the third inning that put them up for good in an eventual 15-4 final in seven innings on Thursday, May 28. “I knew it was coming sooner or later,” Finley said. “I knew they’d get guys on and then they’d go to their bunt game, and you know we had guys in there at different positions that hadn’t practiced yet and they took advantage of it.” North Butler coach Travis Miller readily admits that is what his teams always try to do. “That’s kind of our style,” Miller said. “We like to play small ball and really like to put the pressure on them to make plays and that’s kind of our M.O. (modus operandi). When we do it well, we can win, but there’s a lot of times we don’t do it well.” Up to that point, Clarksville starter Dylan Jacobs had mostly limited the damage against the Bearcats. He did, however, give up a first-inning run on a controversial play. North Butler’s Jaret Wunsch hit a two-out single, stole second and on a pair of throwing errors, came all the way home, barreling into Indian starting catcher Chris Behrends and laying him flat, to score the opening run. Behrends, an eighth grader, eventually left the game complaining of a sore shoulder. “We went back to what we needed to North Butler’s Dan Mouw squares up to bunt for a sacrifice in the fourth inning of the Bearcats’ non-conference win over Clarksville on Thursday, May 28. (Kristi Nixon photo) do,” Finley said. “(We) had a guy making his first varsity start and pitched a heck of a ballgame for us until he ran out of gas. We played well. “We would have been all right if they wouldn’t have hit every single batter I’ve got for whatever reason, which took out one pitcher and another pitcher I would have used got ran over in the first inning. I have to find some replacement for him to catch right now.” But Clarksville came right back in the bottom half of the inning to tie it when Jordan Myers reached on a two-out error, and got two straight singles from Dylan Ciavarelli and Skyler Gilbert, the The Clover Connection Butler County Bulletin Nancy Jensen Butler County Program Coordinator [email protected] Change happens Seems like the first half of 2015 can be summed up in one word – change! We’ve seen changes brought on by the 2014 Farm Bill. ARC-CO, ARC-IC and PLC have replaced old programs like ACRE, Direct Payments and Countercyclical Payments. Sign-up deadlines were constantly changed from late February to March to April. Final deadline to update yield history or reallocate base acres also was extended to April 7. (Good thing we rushed to get all of those meetings done well ahead of the February deadline!) Many changes came about with the decrease in crop prices and increase in livestock prices. (Could result in less livestock at fair this year!) A popular jingle on TV for a hotel chain goes, “Should I stay or should I go?” Many farmers could easily change the lyrics to “Should I sell or should I store?” According to sources (who know way more than I do!) it’s not going to benefit farmers to hold on to last year’s crop when all indications are pointing to another record number of crop acres being put into production. Mike Duffy tells us that land values are coming down in most parts of Iowa. If land values are going down and crop prices are going down, why are rent rates not going down? We’ve seen little change in the costs of production either. Seems to me that high rent combined with low prices will ultimately result in some farmers having difficulty paying their bills. Add to this the avian flu epidemic and the resulting loss of chickens and eggs, the loss of jobs from those facilities and feed mills and we have another cause for concern. I can’t begin to imagine the impact such losses have on a county. We’ve also seen BIG changes in the 4-H world, from a new CYC to a new fair entry system. It seems to me the new process will ultimately be much easier and quicker but like any “new” thing, there are bugs to work out and glitches to override. Holly has provided help sheets, offered a help night and has been working hard at the office helping all families get their members entered for fair. Why do SO MANY people think identifying an animal into 4hOnline is the same as entering an animal for fair in fair entry? This has never been the same thing and we’ve been doing both for five years! As the old saying goes “The only thing constant is change.” Always has been. Always will be. Just like the Farm Bill brought changes to the world of agriculture, fair entry has brought change to 4-H. Change happens – will you happen to change or be one of those who complains the whole time. My kids had a teacher who frequently told them to “be the change.” In other words, don’t hang back hoping the changes will go away, embrace them, grow with them and learn from them!

But after that fateful third inning in which Wunsch brought in the go-ahead run with his suicide squeeze, North Butler kept tacking on to keep the game out of reach. The Indians also had some trouble on the mound, running out of arms against the Bearcats. “Having another game tomorrow (Friday), we had to hold a guy back otherwise I’d have another guy ready to go,” Finley explained. “Playing last (Wednesday) night, I already used one (pitcher), made it kind of difficult.” The Bearcats used that to score 10 runs in the final two innings to make the score appear not as close as it was at first. “Every year, it’s pretty tight, you know?” Miller said. “Just because it is that rivalry and it doesn’t matter who has a good team, bad team, whatever, it’s just always close. Our aggressive play, I think, finally kicked in, running the bases and stuff. It took a while to get it going.” After taking a 15-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh, Clarksville showed its patience, getting a hit by Myers, four walks and a hit batsman to score three in the bottom half for the final score. “They kept right after it,” Miller said of Clarksville. “It’s pretty easy for a high school team to, when you get down to say, ‘aw, the heck with it.’ But they didn’t do that at all.” And Finley fully expects to see North Butler again in the post-season.

AMES, Iowa -- Due to an increased interest in home food preservation, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach has developed the “Preserve the Taste of Summer” program. This program includes both online lessons and a hands-on workshop focusing on home food preservation with the most current USDA-approved food preservation recommendations. “Preserve the Taste of Summer” is a comprehensive food preservation program offered for those 18 years or older. This program includes eight online lessons and the choice of one of four handson workshops. The workshops and classes focus on how to can, freeze, make jam and dehydrate food properly. “We created ‘Preserve the Taste of Summer,’ to help Iowans learn researchbased food preservation information,” said Sarah Francis, a human sciences state specialist in nutrition and wellness. “Everything we teach is research based.” When food preservation is done correctly, it is a great way to have fresh, home grown produce year round. However, when food is preserved incorrectly, it has great potential to cause foodborne illness to a person or family. The “Preserve the Taste of Summer” program teaches research-based food preservation techniques to show how to properly preserve food and stay away from foodborne illness, like botulism. • Butler County Tribune-Journal • North Butler Middle School honor rolls Straight “A” Honor Roll 4th Quarter 4.00 GPA 6th Grade Sydney Eiklenborg, Haley Rinken 7th Grade Andrew Peters, Cassidy Staudt 8th Grade Trevor Brinkman, Chase Eiklenborg, Lauren Hawker, Caitlin Hyman, Alexis Stirling Straight “A” Honor Roll 2nd Semester 4.00 GPA 6th Grade Sydney Eiklenborg, Brooke Trees 7th Grade Madison Klingenborg, Andrew Peters, Cassidy Staudt 8th Grade Trevor Brinkman, Chase Eiklenborg, Caitlin Hyman, Alexis Stirling “A” Honor Roll 4th Quarter 3.67 – 3.99 GPA 6th Grade Kyle Cole, David Crow, Echo Norton, Aubrie Obermier, Averiana Ramker, Brooke Trees, Abigail Wrecsics 7th Grade Rachel Cole, Grace Flammang, Mollie Hearn, Madison Klingenborg, Rainy Kock, Nadia Treichel, Colby Wilkerson 8th Grade Kane Allison, Rhett Lammers, Alexandra Mathers, Andrew Morton, Bryce Trees “A” Honor Roll 2nd Semester 3.67 – 3.99 GPA 6th Grade Kyle Cole, David Crow, Echo Norton, Aubrie Obermier, Averiana Ramker, Haley Rinken, Abigail Wrecsics 7th Grade Rachel Cole, Grace Flammang, Mollie Hearn, Rainy Kock, Cassidy Staudt, Nadia Treichel, Colby Wilkerson 8th Grade Molly Adelmund, Kane Allison, Lauren Hawker, Nicholas Heuer, Rhett Lammers, Jaden Mason, Andrew Morton, Brandon Reiher, Michael Shafer, Bryce Trees “B” Honor Roll 4th Quarter 3.0 – 3.66 GPA 6th Grade Katelin Barth, Madison Clipperton, John Cutshall, Kameron Davis, Justine Grummitt, Michael Hansen, Benjamin McConaughy, Haylee Niemann, Leah Prause, Brynn Salge, Melu Shafer, Michaela Shear, Jeremy Shier, Shawn Weitzenkamp 7th Grade Eric Brehmer, Noah Briney, Elizabeth Collins, Riley Engelhardt, Colton Hobson, Teryn Joebgen, Sariah Richardson, Daylene Ritter, Chloe Van Ellen 8th Grade Brandon Adelmund, Molly Adelmund, Joe Bacheldor, Colton Bell, Tristen Bradley, Colton Foster, Jenna Hauser, Nicholas Heuer, Karter Junker, Mariah Lewis, Levi Lubben, Angel Malfero, Jaden Mason, Connor McNeal, Tate Menne, Curtis Niedert, Taylor Nolan, Emy Osterbuhr, Brandon Reiher, Emily Saathoff, Michael Shafer, Beau Thompson, Trevor Ungs, Jasmine Wedeking, Leilani White “B” Honor Roll 2nd Semester 3.0 – 3.66 GPA 6th Grade Katelin Barth, Madison Clipperton, John Cutshall, Kameron Davis, Ian Gifford, Justine Grummitt, Michael Hansen, Benjamin McConaughy, Haylee Niemann, Leah Prause, Brynn Salge, Melu Shafer, Michaela Shear, Shawn Weitzenkamp 7th Grade Gaige Anderson, Eric Brehmer, Kristianna Bright, Noah Briney, Elizabeth Collins, Riley Engelhardt, Colton Hobson, Teryn Joebgen, Cooper Landers, Sariah Richardson, Daylene Ritter, Jonathan Saathoff, Chloe Van Ellen 8th Grade Brandon Adelmund, Joe Bacheldor, Colton Bell, Tristen Bradley, Colton Foster, Jenna Hauser, Karter Junker, Mariah Lewis, Levi Lubben, Angel Malfero, Alex Mathers, Connor McNeal, Tate Menne, Curtis Niedert, Emy Osterbuhr, Emily Saathoff, Beau Thompson, Trevor Ungs, Jasmine Wedeking, Leilani White ‘Preserve the Taste of Summer’ Online Classes “We are your source for research based food preservation,” said Francis.

Thursday, June 4, 2015 • Every Kernel Counts | FHR.com © 2015 Flint Hills Resources, LLC COMMUNITY NEWS 14 • Thursday, June 4, 2015 • Butler County Tribune-Journal • Board has 9 ‘high-risk’ public trees removed 7 were ash; landowners to be contacted about replacement Mira Schmitt-Cash Editor ALLISON — Affordable Tree Service, Ackley, has been removing high-risk trees in the public right-ofway, for the Allison Tree Board. Board Chairman Dr. George indicated the rotten inside trunk of one downed tree in a photo taken Tuesday. “That tree could’ve fallen on that house in any minor windstorm,” North said. “The trees were high-risk trees in terms of liability,” he said. The city is responsible for trees in its right-of-way. This is the third year of this urban forest management project, North said. Since small towns don’t have city arbor- ists, the Tree Board is responsible for the project, he said. In the project, the board has removed about seven trees a year, as budget has allowed. Because a few of this year’s trees were smaller, the board fit the removal of nine trees into the current budget, he said. Seven of them were ash trees, and two, “risky” maples, he said. The bulk of this year’s round of removals was due to disease, age, dead branches at the top — also emerald ash borer strategy, North said. The emerald ash borer is an invasive species of beetle that attacks only ash trees. The larvae feast on the interior ash bark, starving the tree by cutting off its food transport system. Because of the threat of spread- ing the pest, all of Iowa is under a quarantine that forbids the transport of firewood, as of February 2014. The nearest confirmed emerald ash borer findings to Butler County are in Bremer and Black Hawk counties. North said planting trees to replace these removed urban trees, in cooperation with property owners, will be on the agenda next year. “In spring 2016, we’re going to make an effort to start replacing those trees,” he said. He said property owners where trees were removed will be contacted when the board is ready to move on with planting. The stumps will be ground, Tree Board member Duane Feltz said. A cross-section of a tree being removed shows rot taking over the trunk.
