Law enforcement to buckle down for holidays

Clarksville Library Annual Tiny Tree Display & Holiday Open House set for December 6

Seventy-seven percent of all occupants ejected from a vehicle during a crash are killed.

In 2013, Iowa had 317 traffic fatalities, with more than 43 percent not restrained by a seat belt.

Running through Nov. 30, county and state law enforcement will have an increased presence. Those who don’t buckle up or drive aggressive will run a bigger risk of getting caught.

Special Traffic Enforcement Program is trying to save lives and reduce crashes during the Thanksgiving holiday to save lives and reduce crashes “Buckling up takes less than three seconds and reduces your chance of becoming a fatality statistic by nearly 50,” says Randy Hunefeld, sTEP Coordinator with the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau.

For additional information, go to iowagtsb.org or nhtsa.dot.gov.

“Our library always appreciates the funds received from Butler County Waste Management’s recycling program,” said Kristen Clark, director of the Clarksville Public Library. “It’s a terrific program that keeps extra paper and cardboard out of landfills.

We put those funds towards a variety of library programs throughout the

year.”

Recyclable materials include: hardbound and paperbacked books, used cardboard, newspaper, office paper and magazines. The transfer station is located at 25251 Highway 3 East, Allison, IA 50602.

The materials are weighed and documented, before employees sort and

bale them. Paper and cardboard are then sold to recycling mills by semiload.

Any non-profit organization can participate in this program.

2012 Dodge RAM 1500 Crew Cab

by Dave Clark

I guess I got a little lazy this week and decided to use a little poem that I have used, in this season, before. It also seems a smile or two wouldn’t hurt as long as we remember what the real meaning of the up-coming seasons.

Tune in next week for some interesting Butler County History!

ENJOY; Turkey Poem: When I was a young turkey, new to the coop, My big brother Mike took me out on the stoop, Then he sat me down, and he spoke real slow, And he told me there was something that I had to know; His look and his tone I will always remember, When he told me of the horrors of... Black November.

“Come about August, now listen to me, Each day you’ll get six meals instead of just three, “And soon you’ll be thick, where once you were thin, And you’ll grow a big rubbery thing under your chin; “And then one morning, when you’re warm in your bed, In’ll burst the farmer’s wife, and hack off your head; “Then she’ll pluck out all your feathers so you’re bald ‘n pink,

And scoop out all your insides and leave ya lyin’ in the sink; “And then comes the worst part” he said not bluffing, “She’ll spread your cheeks and pack your rear with stuffing.”

Well, the rest of his words were too grim to repeat, I sat on the stoop like a winged piece of meat, And decided on the spot that to avoid being cooked, I’d have to lay low and remain overlooked; I began a new diet of nuts and granola, High-roughage salads, juice and diet cola; And as they ate pastries, chocolates and crepes, I stayed in my room doing Jane Fonda tapes; I maintained my weight of two pounds and a half, And tried not to notice when the bigger birds laughed; But ‘twas I who was laughing, under my breath, As they chomped and they chewed, ever closer to death; And sure enough when Black November rolled around, I was the last turkey left in the entire compound.

So now I’m a pet in the farmer’s wife’s lap; I haven’t a worry, so I eat and I nap; She held me today, while sewing and humming, And smiled at me and said: “Christmas is coming…”

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

How to Train Your Baby and Toddler

I have a couple youngsters - Corina, 11 months, and Colton, 3 ½ years old.

Colton likes Ninja Turtles, running and talking; and Corina likes exploring, crawling and Colton.

I think they’re adorable; but they are my kids.

I do have to set ground rules, though.

Like when Peanut accelerates Corina in her car, running in and out of rooms.

She loves him a lot, but seems to forget about previous experiences. Ya see, Colton treats her like one of toys. And usually his toys get sent flying at some point.

So when she crawls around with one of his turtles, he steals it away. Then – she cries.

And Colton has an abundance of toys to choose from.

Recently, he got a new toy for six consecutive days. The streak finally ended Sunday. Papa went home, Nana was tired, and I was not a great mood.

“Can I get something daddy?” Colton asked, using the charm that rarely fails him.

“Not today C,” I say. Why don’t we get something for someone else? Like your cousins – Jackson, Jameson and Gia.” “No, I don’t want to. I want to get something,” he replies.

To his defense, he did just receive a big Leonardo Ninja Turtle that he asked Santa Claus for a day prior. So for him not to get anything at K-mart, not even a little Michaelangelo, is somewhat unprecedented.

But he’s not giving up.

“Daddy, do you think maybe I can have this?” he grabs a random skeleton head on a shelf.

“Probably not. Halloween’s over buddy,” I respond.

Corina’s just behind us, being carted through the store by Nana. I peer over

at her, and she begins crying. I cannot help but acquiesce when she sticks out her little arms for me.

Turning around, Colton is nowhere to be seen. Checking up a few aisles, I find him looking at toys.

“Daddy, I think Jackson and Jameson and I would like this,” he said, pointing to large Incredible Hulk fists.

But I just pick him up, and put him in the cart.

“Dad, what are you doing dad?”

“I don’t want to lose you bud, I need to put you in the cart so you stay with us,” I say.

Then I take Corina, place her in there with her brother.

It’s been a tiresome day, and I just want to leave the store.

“Daddy, can I get this? For me and them,” he says.

“Nope.”

We eventually leave the store, seemingly hours later. The price of not buying Colton a toy suddenly seems questionable.

Later that night, he drowns a chocolate chip cookie in milk. Laughing at his soggy, crumbly remains, he shoves it into his mouth dripping milk.

“How about we relax and watch a movie when you’re done,” I say.

“Do you think we could probably watch How to Train Dragon, Daddy?”

“Sure,” I respond, thinking of which would be harder.

Cold weather and snow fall continue to create challenges for farmers

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the final Iowa crop progress and condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“The cold weather and snowfall continued to create challenges for farmers, but some progress was made, with 96 percent of corn and 99 percent of soybeans now harvested. Weather has continued to challenge farmers in south central Iowa as they remain well behind the statewide average with only 85 percent of corn harvested,” 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 Cold temperatures and snow halted most activities early in the week, but rising temperatures as the weekend neared allowed Iowa farmers 3.7 days suitable for fieldwork during the week ending November 23, 2014, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Some tile and terrace work continued despite the colder temperatures; while warmer weather over the weekend allowed for corn harvest, fall tillage, and fertilizer applications.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 per-

cent very short, 5 percent short, 90 percent adequate, and 5 percent surplus.

Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 7 percent short, 85 percent adequate, and 7 percent surplus. inety-six percent of Iowa’s corn acreage was harvested, equal to 2013 but 2 days ahead of the five-year average.

Corn harvest in south central Iowa continued to trail behind the rest of the State with only 85 percent complete. Isolated corn fields still remain to be harvested throughout the rest of the State. Soybean harvest was nearly complete with 99 percent of the acreage harvested.

Grain movement from farm to elevator was rated 37 percent moderate to heavy, dropping 11 percentage points from the previous week. Off-farm grain storage availability was rated at 93 percent adequate to surplus. On-farm grain storage availability was 97 percent adequate to surplus.

Hay and roughage supplies were estimated at 97 percent adequate to surplus. Cold and snowy conditions tested livestock, and some farmers have started to feed hay.

Iowa Preliminary Weather Summary

By Harry Hillaker, State Climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship Very cold and mostly dry weather prevailed through Friday (21st) across

By David Mansheim This Thanksgiving, I am grateful to have a president who doesn’t just talk, but actually acts on family values.

President Obama recently deferred the deportation of some qualifying immigrant parents and spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents. So in case your crazy uncle goes into a rant at the holiday dinner table, here are a couple facts to keep in mind.

This president has faithfully executed the immigration laws by deporting more illegal immigrants than any other president. However, since Congress has not and will never appropriate enough money to deport 11 to 12 million undocumented immigrants, the executive has to use prosecutorial discretion and concentrate resources on deporting those who most pose a danger. Breaking up families by deporting law biding employed immigrant parents and spouses of U.S. citizens should not be the priority.

Thep’s actions are within the power of the executive branch, according to a statement of over 100 constitutional lawyers and judges. Those who disagree should read Justice Anthony Kennedy’s opinion in Arizona v. United States. Fellow Republican Chief Justice John Roberts joined him.

The opinion highlights the broad discretion the executive branch enjoys in matters relating to immigration.

The president’s actions are similar to previous presidents. In 1986, after President Reagan signed a so-called amnesty bill passed by Congress granting legal status to 3 million undocumented immigrants, he issued executive orders expanding it.

His successor, George H.W. Bush, issued Family Fairness Executive Orders for another 1.5 million undocumented spouses and children to stay

here, which was about 40 percent of the undocumented immigrants at that time.

The Pew Research Center estimates Obama’s actions on deferred deportation could affect about 45 percent or about 4 million immigrants, with most having parents whose children have legal status.

The p[esident is not abusing the use of executive orders, and in fact, has issued far less than previous presidents. Obama has issued 183 to date. George W. Bush 291, Clinton 364, Reagan 381, Eisenhower 484. FDR issued 3,522, and even Silent Cal Coolidge recorded 1,203.

The president’s action is not amnesty; it is a temporary deferment from prosecution good until Congress acts or the next president is elected.

It does not grant citizenship, voting privileges or access to the Affordable Care Act for health care. It requires the parents of the children, the DREAMers, to have lived here at least five years, register, pass background checks and pay taxes.

The executive order doesn’t put them on a path to citizenship the way the bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill passed by the Senate would do. The House has refused to take up the Senate bill, pass their own or even hold a discussion for 511 days. Speaker Boehner could end the impasse tomorrow by allowing a majority vote in the House, but it is doubtful.

Voters in frustration have elected more Republicans.

A permanent solution is now in their hands if they would just do their job and pass a bill.

Thank you Mr. President

Iowa Crops & Weather Report Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey

Iowa. Much warmer weather, with some light rain, arrived Friday night.

Temperatures remained below freezing across all of Iowa until early on Wednesday (19th) when temperatures briefly climbed above 32 degrees over extreme western Iowa. Temperatures on Friday (21st) climbed above freezing over the southwest one-half of the state and climbed well above freezing statewide on Saturday (22nd) and through most of Sunday (23rd). At Des Moines a streak of 252 consecutive hours with temperatures below freezing ended at noon Friday (21st).

This streak was 48 hours longer than previously experienced during 137 years of November weather records at Des Moines (old record was recorded for the last 204 hours of November 1985). Temperature extremes varied from a Friday morning low of minus 6 degrees at Stanley (Buchanan County) to Saturday afternoon highs of 57 degrees at numerous southeastern Iowa

locations. Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged 14.6 degrees below normal. Soils were frozen to a depth of 5 to 9 inches as of Friday (21st) but were completely thawed in many areas

by Sunday (23rd). Snow flurries were common each day from Sunday (16th) through Thursday (20th). Dry weather prevailed on Friday with light rain falling across the southeast one-half of Iowa Friday night into Saturday morning. Donnellson reported the most precipitation with 0.37 inches of rain while much of the northwest one-half of the state recorded only trace amounts. The statewide average precipitation was only 0.03 inches while normal for the week is 0.45 inches. Heavier precipitation fell after the cut-off for this week’s report on Sunday (23rd) with rain amounts over an inch across east central and southeast Iowa while snow accumulated late Sunday night across the northeast one-half of the state.

Americans are frustrated

By Glenn Mollette Average America doesn’t feel better off today.

More of us feel the pain of new government healthcare laws. My personal medical insurance premium will increase in January. My deductible will go from $3,000 to $5,000.

My medical insurance will be the worst I’ve had in my life. I suspect that during this past election, millions of Americans started waking up about Obamacare.

The new Senate and House must edit the healthcare laws. Thousands of illegals continue to come to America.

Many of them of them are hard-working people.

They simply want to be in America and have a better life. I don’t blame them. However, the majority of Americans want them to fill out their paperwork.

We want them to be documented, and follow the legal path to living in America. We do not want to them with citizenship if they break the law.

Americans are tired of our jobs going overseas. Minimum wage, even if it’s

$10 or $12 an hour, is not enough. We need $20 and $25 an hour jobs that pay benefits. We need to reward companies for keeping jobs in America.

We don’t want to reward them for moving jobs to another country. However, companies must also decide how they are going to handle medical insurance.

If we continue to demand more taxes and more medical insurance burdens from businesses, they will move somewhere else. Or, they will continue to downgrade full-time employees to parttime employees.

Average America is not ready to eliminate fossil fuels. We like solar, wind and natural gas. We also know that we are loaded with coal and oil. We need to use our fossil fuels while developing technology to use cleaner and more efficient sources of energy.

More Americans would like for us to be disconnected from Middle Eastern oil. We are tired of being tied to Saudi Arabia or Iraq.

Giving thanks for the unexpected

By John Crabtree Center for Rural Affairs Thanksgiving is when, as a nation, we give thanks for the important blessings in our lives.

For many, that likely includes family, good health and a decent job.

For some, though, working hard doesn’t produce enough income to make ends meet. And many rural and small town Americans depend on something most don’t think about – the Earned Income Tax Credit – to help get through tough times.

The EITC is a credit against federal personal income taxes for working people who have low to moderate income, particularly those with children. The Census Bureau estimates EITC kept

an additional 5.4 million Americans, including 3 million children, above the official poverty line.

A recent Center for Rural Affairs report found the EITC has become vital to rural people and their well-being and small towns. Over one in five rural Americans claimed the EITC, a greater percentage than among urban neighbors.

I am thankful for EITC. Established in 1973, the Center for Rural Affairs is a private, non-profit organization working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities through action oriented programs addressing social, economic, and environmental issues.

Truly Thankful

Thanksgiving reminds us to pause in our busy lives and take a moment to consider what we have been given in this life.

As Christians we remember that the beginning of true thanks is a reflection of true wisdom. It is the recognition that we are creatures, standing like children before a great, mysterious reality which determines for us the reality of our existence. We are open to the wisdom that seeks the Holy Spirit. We trust that spirit to guide us whatever this life brings.

Wisdom does not know all the answers, in fact, if we are honest, we know very few real answers.

There are many possible ways to follow as we seek to live without the answers. In this life we all place our faith in something we hope will give us the best possible life. There are no guarantees that our trust, our faith, will reward

us with what we hope for. The Christian places his or her trust in a faith in Jesus Christ as the Way. We are thankful for the Way shown us in Jesus Christ. We place our confidence in that revelation of God’s Way for each of us. We cannot predict where our trust in that Way will lead us, but with thanks for Christ’s life, death, and resurrection we live each day in faith.

In the words of one of the great composer Bach’s chorales: Therefore I thank my God, and joy to do God’s will; I trust that whatever befalls God’s love is with me still.

So like a little child, who clasps the parent’s hand, serene I take my way, in faith a trusting stand.

What Am I Thankful For?

This is the time of year when we all need to step back from the hectic dayto-day routine and say a few thank yous for all we’ve been given. Here are my top ten Thank Yous this year!

1) To the awesome doctors and nurses at the University of Iowa for giving me back my Mom. She may never be the “old” Mom I remember, but she had earrings on the last time I visited so she’s definitely Mom again!

2) That I don’t live in Buffalo, NY, nor do I have any plans to visit anytime soon! Talk about a very long winter for those poor people out on the east coast!

3) That other than a few days of coughing or the stomach bug, my extended family has been pretty healthy this fall! I even broke down and got a flu shot so I should be good to go!

4) That the broken bone in my foot seems to be healing, although not as quickly as I would like! The pain has diminished, except for the 3 days I spent on the Iowa State Campus for meetings. Thank goodness for my temporary “Handicap Parking Permit”!

5) That the campaigns are over, at least for a few months! I think you ALL know how I feel about the amount of money spent on winning a seat in Congress! Let’s just hope the winners do something with that seat!

6) Passage of the Farm Bill. FINALLY!!!! We’ve set up and held many meetings to inform farmers about the different programs involved and I don’t think there’s been one meeting where

I haven’t learned something new. Perhaps they put the cart before the horse as they are delaying most of their preset dates for completing the process.

7) The great 4H families I work with!

We held our mandatory leaders training a week ago and my interim youth program specialist was surprised at how many leaders came! I told her that Butler County has some of the best 4H families in the state!

8) While I’m not a huge college basketball fan, I am thankful that we have the ISU men’s basketball season to look forward to. Football was a little (okay, it was a lot!) disappointing, but the last time I checked the men’s basketball team was ranked in the preseason top 20! Go Clones!

9) I have the best co-workers ever!

The past seven months without a Youth Program Specialist specifically for Region 9 have been frustrating as we are all assigned different “interim” ones, but it has made us much stronger as a team and we are soon going to have 3 new CYCs in Region 9!

10) Finally, we are interviewing for a full-time CYC to handle the day-to-day 4H responsibilities and tasks. While I will still “oversee” the program, it won’t be me you “see” at some of the events.

Here’s hoping you and yours have a very Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy all the turkey, football and shopping you can and get those re-enrollments done!

Insurance Companies Legally Rip-Off Iowa Injured Workers By . . .

Yes, insurance companies can legally pay you less than what you are owed and do not have to tell you the truth. Many injured workers fail to learn the Injured Workers Bill of Rights which includes: 1. Payment of Mileage at $.56 per mile 2. Money for Permanent Disability 3. 2nd Medical Opinion in Admitted Claims. . . . A New Book reveals your other rights and much more so you do not get ripped-off.

Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker offers his book at no cost because since 1997, he has seen far too many hard working Iowans who did not know their rights treated badly by insurance companies. If you or a loved one have been hurt at work and do not have an attorney claim your copy (while supplies last). Call Now (800)-707-2552, ext. 311 (24 Hour Recording) or go to www.IowaWorkInjury.com. Our Guarantee- If you do not learn at least one thing from our book call us and we will donate $1,000 to your charity of choice.

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

CHS Choir Students Enjoy What Is better: Big Conference Vocal Festival or Small Schools?

By Susie Dowden

On Monday, November 17, the Clarksville High School Choir attended the Conference Vocal Festival at Don Bosco.

The choir practiced four different songs together, as well as a piece for just the boys and one just for the girls.

After practicing for many hours they had a meal, changed and then performed all the songs.

The director of the festival’s choir was Jennaya Robison, an assistant professor of music at Luther College.

There were a lot of components to the day that the students enjoyed.

“My favorite part of conference vocal was the sound of everybody’s voices together and being a part of a larger choir,” Senior Mckayla Kinkade said.

Freshman Bethany Negen’s favorite part was similar.

“My favorite part would probably have been the performance, just because it was fun and it sounded really cool,” she said.

Fellow Freshman Spencer Gray said, “My favorite part would be watching all the choirs perform because it was very interesting watching it.”

Miss Johnson said, “My favorite part was our school’s performance.”

The concert included the six songs the choir performed throughout the day.

The first song was “Festivals of Sanctus,” then “Kyrie,” “Dance on my Heart,” “Homeland,” and “He Never Failed Me Yet” were performed.

“My favorite song was the last one, ‘He Never Failed Me Yet’ because everyone got really into it,”

Negen remarked.

Johnson commented on her favorite, saying “My favorite song of the mass group was Dance on My Heart. It was very rhythmic and told a story.”

“I think it is good to come together and sing with students from other schools,” Johnson added. “It shows us we have things in common and we have things that each choir does differently.”

Gray also thought the day helped the Clarksville choir improve.

“It helps us with being able to match pitch better,” he said.

Negen added that she enjoyed conference vocal “because it makes it sound really really cool.”

“I’ve never heard anything like it,” she added. “I didn’t think high schoolers could sound that good.”

Clarksville Students Look Forward to the Holidays

By Katie Gallmeyer

Students of Clarksville High School all have different opinions on what their favorite holidays are, but the most popular one is definitely Christmas.

“My favorite holiday is Christmas.

I like the snow and all the food. Usually I eat and open presents,” Sophomore Kilie Popes said.

“My favorite holiday is Halloween. You get to dress up and haunted houses are fun to go to. You get to hang out with friends and eat candy,” Junior Bridget Ross commented.

Senior McKenna Lebeck’s favorite holiday is Christmas because students get the longest break from school.

“I spend time with my family, go shopping, and I have basketball

practice,” Lebeck said.

Callie Green, a junior, says her favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. She usually goes to her aunt and uncle’s house in Clarksville.

“It’s the only time that I see all of my family together, and I get to eat all of the delicious food that comes with this holiday,” Green said.

Senior McKayla Kinkade commented saying, “My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, because I like eating so much food that I can’t even button my pants. My family comes over to my house. They all bring different food over like a potluck.”

Junior Stephanie Schmadeke had a hard time choosing her favorite.

“My favorite holiday is between Christmas and Easter. I like them both because you get together with your family. You eat good food and

exchange gifts. I have supper with my family and go to the church service that Sunday,” she said.

“My favorite holiday is Christmas.

There’s just a lot of cheer. Everyone is happy,” Senior James Clow commented. “Usually we go to my grandparents’ house and we have a nice dinner.

Freshman Spencer Gray’s favorite holiday is also Christmas.

“I like it because I get presents. We get up in the morning and go through our stockings. Once my mom and dad get up, we open our presents,” Gray said.

With the upcoming holidays, all students can agree that they are excited to spend time with their families and friends.

The Clarksville Community School District would like to thank Flint Hills Resources for their generous $2,000 donation for the purchase of 2 AEDs for use in the school.

Miss Friedrichs and all of the publications staff would like to wish the entire community of Clarksville a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you for all of your continued support!

When the size of schools topic comes up, there’s always a debate on whether a bigger school or smaller school is the best.

Advantages and disadvantages popped up for each side of the discussion.

A big advantage to the students about smaller schools was that everyone knows everyone.

“In a big school, not everyone is going to know who you are or even know your name,” Senior Mariah Wefel pointed out. “You don’t have to worry about not knowing everyone in a smaller school.”

Makayla Holub said, “I think it’s easier to make friends in smaller schools just because there’s less people, so it’s easier to talk to them.”

Students also liked that with fewer numbers in enrollment, you can be in whatever activity is offered.

“You can be in anything you

want to be when you’re at a smaller school,” Kilie Popes said. “You also have a higher chance of playing in sports.”

On the opposite end, the students also mentioned some disadvantages dealing with small schools that might not be as relevant in bigger schools.

“Word travels fast,” Holub commented.

McKayla Kinkade agreed.

“There can be a lot of drama and once it’s in one little group, everybody knows about it.”

The last thing the students were asked was if they’re glad they go to Clarksville High School. All in all the answer was yes with a couple “It depends on the day” responses.

Jenna Funte commented, “People automatically accept you and talk to you. Of all schools I’ve ever gone to, Clarksville has been the most welcoming.”

Sociology Students Hold Shoe Box Drive

By Emily Doty

The Clarksville Sociology Class hosted a drive to gather shoeboxes full of toys, clothes, toiletries, school supplies, books and blankets for children that don’t get these everyday items.

The class also took donations to help with the shipping cost for the boxes they sent.

“I like to see my students take action, and used what they learned to help the world become a better place,” Sociology Teacher Chris Arians said.

“It feels good to know that we did something good,” Junior Austin Magedanz said. “They feel great to get things that we sometimes take for granted.”

Sociology classmate Rachel Sundet said that helping with the donations mean she “can play a small role in bringing joy to at least one child’s life.”

This class is putting forth effort to change our world.

They are learning that people from other countries may not have all the average day items that we have.

This organization is all for a good cause and more people should get involved and make a difference.

It is a good way for these students to get out of the books and face the reality of the world and make a difference.

“Something as small as a shoe box can make the difference of a lifetime,” Sundet said.

CHS Girls Look Forward to Bball

By Makayla Holub

On Monday, November 10, 2014 the high school girls basketball season officially began.

The Clarksville Indians are very excited and can’t wait for the season to start.

Junior Brittney Litterer said, “I am looking forward to getting to work with the upcoming freshman and seeing them get better day by day.”

She also added, “I am also looking

forward to work as a team to win as many games as we can.”

Although the Indians lost some key players, it gives others to step up and take their roles.

Junior Kayla Jacobs, “We don’t really have the height that many teams have, so it might be hard to guard a team with taller girls.”

The girls first game will be away on on Tuesday, November 25 against North Tama.
