DES MOINES – The City of Clarksville was recently honored with the 2015 Tree City USA Award at the 26th Annual Community Forestry Awards Luncheon in Des Moines.

The award was presented by the Arbor Day Foundation and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Forestry Bureau April 7 at the Forte Banquet & Conference Center.

“The Tree City USA award is a symbol for communities who have

made a commitment to the management of public trees,” says state forester Paul Tauke. “The City of Clarksville has provided an outstanding example for other Iowa communities by enhancing our forest resources and demonstrating the great value of trees in providing multiple benefits for future generations.”

Clarksville was one of 81 Iowa communities to qualify for Tree

City USA status. To receive the award, a city must, at a minimum, have either a city forester or an active city tree board; have a tree ordinance; spend at least $2 per capita annually for its community forestry program; and have a tree planting and maintenance plan.

A sign outside of town says Clarksville has been a Tree City USA for 12 years. This will be year 13.

Local Schools Enhance Classroom Safety Science of Parenting: Funds from Flint Hills Resources help high schools purchase vocational safety supplies FAIRBANK – Eleven local high schools have the opportunity to invest in and upgrade classroom safety and vocational education supplies thanks in part to donations from Flint Hills Resources.

Each school received $500 to purchase prtotective supplies such as safety glasses, gloves, lab coats and protective aprons, biohazard boot shields and safety goggles.

Participating schools include Clarksville Community School, North Butler High School, Waverly-Shell Rock High School, Rudd-RockfordMarble Rock High School and Nashua-Plainfield High School in the surrounding area.

“Our local high schools provide valuable, hands-on learning opportunities for students,” said Garland Krabbenhoft, plant manager at the Flint Hills Resources Fairbank and Shell Rock ethanol plants. “Having the proper classroom materials is an important part of providing a quality education. We are pleased to play a role in enhancing students’ classroom experience.”

Flint Hills Resources owns and operates two local ethanol plants near the communities of Fairbank and Shell Rock. The donation is part of the company’s continued commitment to supporting education and safety programs in local communities.

Funds from Flint Hills Resources will help Clarksville Community School and other area schools purchase vocational safety supplies.

Shell Rock Elementary students learn about chocolate during Ag In The Classroom When Butler County Farm Bureau Ag in the Classroom Coordinator Ruth Seehusen visited classes in March the first question she asked was “What one thing do we eat at Christmas, Valentines’ Day, and at Easter that is produced by our farmers?” All the kids in the two Shell Rock kindergarten classes knew exactly what the answer was to that question: chocolate candy.

Ruth talked to the students about how chocolate is made from cocoa beans that are inside pods that grow on cacao trees in the rain forest. The rain forest has a lot different climate that what we have here in Iowa. She

asked them what three main ingredients in milk chocolate are grown by farmers and they all could list them as cocoa, milk, and sugar. Sugar can be either grown as sugar cane or sugar beets and milk of course is produced from dairy cows on farms.

M&M color worksheets were handed out and with crayons they colored the M&M pictures. Afterwards Ruth passed out bags of M&Ms and had the students sort the candies into the different colors and make a graph of what they found in their bag of M&Ms. The best part of the lesson was when they got to eat some of their candy.

Teach kids kindness, compassion

By: Janet Smith, Lori Hayungs, Laura Sternweis AMES – Children aren’t born knowing how to be kind or compassionate. However, these virtues can be taught, say the Science of Parenting bloggers from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

“How do we raise kids who are compassionate and kind? We can give them opportunities to practice being kind,” said Janet Smith, a human sciences specialist in family life.

“Children must learn to be kind, just as we learn language. Practice makes perfect and parents can encourage such simple opportunities like helping with housework,” Smith said.

“Parents can help children learn how to focus on others who need help. Children need to hear from their parents that caring for others is a top priority,” said Lori Hayungs, also a human sciences specialist in family life.

“Harvard researchers tell us that children aren’t born good or bad, and we should never give up on them.

They need adults who will help them, at every stage of their childhood, to become caring, respectful and responsible for their communities,” Hayungs said.

This month, Smith and Hayungs will share ideas about the importance of raising children to be kind and compassionate. They’ll talk about how to help children practice caring and gratitude. They also will discuss how parents can be strong moral role models and mentors for their children.

Learn more from tips on the blog throughout the month and in a four-minute podcast. Through the Science of Parenting, www.scienceofparenting.org, ISU Extension and Outreach specialists share and discuss research-based information and resources to help parents rear their children. Parents can join in the conversation and share thoughts and experiences, as well as how they handle parenting responsibilities.

The Science of Parenting from ISU Extension and Outreach also is available on Twitter and via text message.

Indicate interest in support group for cancer patients, families, survivors Certainly, having cancer is one of the most stressful things a person can experience. Support groups help many people cope with cancer.

They not only provide a safe place to share feelings; they also allow people to learn from others who are going through or have gone through similar experiences.

Franklin General Hospital is considering offering a Cancer Support Group and hopes to learn whether there is interest in the community for such a group. The group would be facilitated by Cindy Wittmer, RN and manager of FGH Surgery and Outpatient Services. She herself is a survivor of breast cancer.

“If there’s an interest, we would like to meet a need for those who are going through cancer, as well as their family members, and others who are survivors,” Wittmer says.

“Sometimes even the most supportive family members and friends cannot understand exactly how it feels to have cancer. Support groups allow people to talk about their ex-

periences with others living with cancer, which can help reduce stress.

And the group dynamics can create a sense of belonging that helps each person feel more understood and less alone.”

Besides sharing their emotions, support group members can also discuss practical information. This may include what their options are, what to expect during treatment, how to manage pain and other side effects of treatment, and how to communicate with health care providers.

“While support groups may not be the right fit for everyone, studies show that support groups can help some cancer patients feel more hopeful and enable them to manage their emotions better,” Wittmer says.

“If having a local support group can help patients process their cancer experience, that is what I’m hoping we can offer.”

Anyone who is interested in participating in a Cancer Support Group should contact Wittmer at 641-456-5930.

I have a goal … (straw bale garden) part 2!

Once you have your straw bales selected and placed them on landscape fabric, and hardware cloth if needed, it’s time to move on to the next steps – conditioning and planting your straw bales.

To condition the straw bales an inexpensive fertilizer is needed, one pound for each bale. Look for a fertilizer with at least 20 percent nitrogen, make sure it is not slow – release and that no herbicides have been added!

Gardeners may choose to put steel “T” posts at both ends of your bales and string 14 gauge wire tightly between them to act as a trellis. A soaker hose should be placed along the top of the bales (no more sprinkler hoses for straw bale gardens!) and use staples made with 20 inches of wire to secure the hose to the bale.

The only gardening tool needed is a hand trowel. You will also need one cubic foot of planting mix for every two straw bales you have.

Conditioning bales takes 12 days and then you’re ready to plant. Conditioning is done with fertilizer (use a plastic container with holes punched in the lid) to get a nice even distribution and water. Use the following daily guide to condition your bales: Day 1 – Spread one-half cup fertilizer on each bale, and use warm water to get fertilizer down into bales.

Day 2 – Water your bales with warm water until saturated.

Day 3 – Repeat Day 1 Day 4 – Repeat Day 2 Day 5 – Repeat Day 1 Day 6 – Repeat Day 2

Days 7-9 – Apply one-quarter cup fertilizer to each bale and use warm water to saturate.

Day 10 – 1 cup of 10-10-10 fertilizer to each bale and warm water to saturate. Fill in cracks with more straw.

Day 12 – Plant!

When using straw bales for a garden, much smaller transplants can be troweled in because the bale has a much warmer root zone than can be found in the ground. If planting seeds, mound up the planting mix over the soaker hose to 1-inch to 2-inch depth and plant right into that seedbed. Remove any pots or peat pots from plants before planting.

To dress up your bales, you can plant flowers around the sides. Your straw bale garden is now planted, and you can sit back and watch it grow! Good luck! Email me a picture of your straw bale garden — nejensen@iastate.edu!

• Letters should be original, typewritten or neatly handwritten. Individuals are advised to make a copy for

personal records before submitting, as the return of letters cannot be guaranteed.

Community colleges are key to expanding Iowa’s middle class

House and Senate reach agreement on budget targets

Last week House Republicans and Senate Democrats reached an agreement on the funding levels for the FY 2017 budget. We are limited to spending $7.351 billion out of the General Fund under the state‘s expenditure limitation law. The budget levels include the additional funding already authorized by the FY 2017 Supplemental School Aid bills, which increased school funding by 2.25 percent.

The FY 2017 budget will be: as shown below.

For six years in a row, the House Republicans have followed through on our promises to spend less than the state collects and avoid spending one-time money on ongoing needs. I know these are the same common sense budgeting principles that Iowa families and businesses follow every day and government should be no different. I take my responsibility very seriously to spend your hard-earned tax dollars efficiently.

Nominations for 2016 Iowa Farm Environmental Leader awards On Monday, April 4, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) issued a joint press release with the Governor’s office noting that Iowa Governor Terry Branstad and Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds were Administration & Regulaton Agriculture & Natural Resources Economic Development Education Health & Human Services Justice Systems School Aid & other Standing Appropriations TOTAL

encouraging Iowans to nominate farmers for the Iowa Farm Environmental Leader Award who have taken voluntary actions to improve or protect the environment and natural resources of our state. Nominations are due by June 15, and the nomination form, a list of previous awardees and other information can be found at www.iowaagriculture.gov/EnvironmentalLeader.asp.

The award is a joint effort between the Governor, Lt. Governor, IDALS, and Iowa Department of Natural Resources to recognize the efforts of Iowa’s farmers as environmental leaders committed to healthy soils and improved water quality.

Farmers that are nominated should have made environmental stewardship a priority on their farm and incorporated best management practices into their farming operation. As true stewards of the land, they recognize that improved water quality and soil sustainability reaps benefits that extend beyond their fields to citizens of Iowa and residents even further downstream. Nominations may be submitted on a year-round basis and are due by June 15th of the year to be considered for the award.

Farm owners and operators are eligible for consideration.

An appointed committee of representatives from both conservation and agricultural groups will review the nominations and select the winners.

The recipients will be recognized on Wednesday, August 17, 2016 at the Iowa State Fair.

If you know someone deserving of this honor, I encourage you to nominate them.

Unprecedented oversight

We started this week off with a demonstration of new lighting for the State Capitol Building. Musco Sports Lighting, based out of Oskaloosa, has graciously donated this new lighting to replace the decades old equipment that the Capitol currently uses. The state will only have to pay for installation of the new lighting system which is more energy efficient and will save the state money on energy costs. The new lights make the Capitol look more beautiful than it did before!

This week, the House released our oversight plan for Medicaid Modernization. Our approach will require an unprecedented amount of data and reporting, from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS), and the three managed care organizations (MCOs), to be submitted to the legislature for review. This will provide legislators with a wide assortment of figures and information on the Medicaid program that has never been available in the past.

This plan ensures that consumers are protected, patient health and financial outcomes are monitored and transparent, and the integrity of our health care system remains.

Consumer protections Medicaid patients must be able to have access to protections and advocates when needed to ensure that they are receiving the high-quality healthcare that they expect. Our plan requires that the legislature receive reports on consumer protections like: • Customer service satisfaction including call center performance, grievances and appeals filed, and how timely issues are resolved with DHS and the MCOs

Under the Golden Dome Too

By State Representative Linda Upmeyer House District 54 / Speaker of the House linda.upmeyer@legis.state.ia.us (515) 281-4618

• The number of doctors and providers that are available to patients to ensure adequate access • The total number of Medicaid patients and how that changes over time Healthy outcomes One of the main goals of Medicaid Modernization is to promote wellness and healthy living. However, we need a way to track whether or not people are becoming healthier, which was never part of the old Medicaid system. As part of our plan, the legislature will receive detailed reports on outcomes like: • Annual health care effectiveness data to ensure that patients are becoming healthier • Specific reporting on vulnerable Medicaid patients like those with special needs, behavioral issues, and the elderly • The percentage of claims paid and denied to confirm that patients are receiving the care they need • Cost savings to the Medicaid program including the amount spent on medical care versus administrative costs Program integrity Finally, federal, state, and contractual safeguards are in place for Medicaid Modernization to prevent, detect, and eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse. Even with all of these protections, the legislature will be monitoring to ensure efficient and effective use of tax dollars and will be able to act on any cases of

fraud or abuse.

Equally important is that all of this information will be made public online for Iowans to view. This provides a level of transparency that the Medicaid program has never before seen. While patient-specific information will not be made public, aggregate data and summaries will be available in an easy to read format so that Iowans can also review the information themselves.

This plan offers Iowans the assurance that the health care of Iowa’s most vulnerable are not being put in jeopardy.

As the new system continues to roll out, House Republicans will keep a watchful eye on the transition to ensure that Iowans continue to receive the care that they count on.

One final note is that this week the House and Senate agreed to joint budget targets for the 2017 fiscal year budget.

The agreed upon amount is lower than both ongoing revenue and the state’s expenditure limitation, totaling $7.349 billion. This budget agreement continues to stand by House Republicans’ budget principles of spending less than the state collects and not using one-time funding to pay for ongoing needs. This spending plan will allow us to invest in the priorities of Iowans in a responsible way.

As always, please keep in touch. As legislation is moving forward, feel free to send me comments, questions, or feedback that you may have regarding issues before us in the House. I can be reached at linda.upmeyer@legis.iowa. gov or 515-281-3521.

Iowa’s community colleges play a big role in expanding our middle class by helping more Iowans gain the knowledge and skills they need to fill jobs, further their education and enhance their quality of life.

Mason City schools established Iowa’s first two-year educational institution in 1918. By 1930, at least 32 Iowa communities had organized junior colleges as part of their public school systems.

In 1965, the Legislature merged many of these junior colleges—now known as community colleges—and established financial support through student tuition, as well as federal, state and local funds. At the time, these colleges had 9,110 students. Fifty years later, enrollment is 10 times that. In 2015, Iowa’s community colleges educated and trained more than 93,000 Iowans.

Today, community college students include: • 64,235 Iowans taking courses to get an associate’s degree or to transfer to a four-year college or university.

• 27,742 Iowans enrolled in career and technical education (CTE) pro-

grams that prepare them for skilled jobs.

• 33,145 high school students earning their first college credits. High schoolers now make up more than a third of community college students, up 5.4 percent from last year.

• 232,480 Iowans participating in non-credit programs and courses that teach basic personal and academic skills, prepare people to enter the workforce, provide technical training for specific job opportunities and allow citizens to pursue special interests.

Because they do so much for Iowans, businesses, communities and our economy, community colleges deserve our support. For more on all the good things community colleges do in Iowa, see the 2015 Community College Annual Report on the Iowa Department of Education website.

payment for overtime work, oversight and protection of the Social Security programs. The platform is also against companies leaving the U.S.A. in order to escape taxation.

Both platforms have statements on education. The Republican statement is found under the section on liberty.

Here one finds that English should be our national language; that control of the moral and intellectual “needs” of our children should be controlled by parents who should have the option for public, private, for-profit institutions as well as home schooling where various positions on human existence from Darwin to whatever might be taught is possible. And finally the platform also advocates prayer in “our schools.” The Federal Department of Education is to be abandoned.

The Democratic platform on education makes it clear the party is in favor of public education and is opposed to publicly funding for-profit and private education. Higher education receives a robust statement of support such as support for the “Dream” Act, which would give support to all students seeking to advance themselves educationally. The platform also seeks safer environments on school campuses, particularly stopping bullying. The platform has an interesting section on better nutrition in school lunches. The No Child Left Behind is opposed, having this area of education under local control. Governor Branstad’s effort to reform public education via non-education professionals is also opposed.

The Democratic platform has a section on Agriculture and the Environment, which supports the family farm, the diversified farm in opposition to corporate farms. The platform is in favor of the Clean Water and Air acts.

Although the platform is aware of the need for energy, it recognizes that tracking is not a long term solution nor is the use of atomic energy; thus the platform’s emphasis on research in alternative solutions. There is no similar platform in the Republican statement.

In the area of Health and Welfare Services, and Life in the Republican platform, very different positions are given.

The Republican position is against public funding for “abortion services, contraception and abortifacients.” Clearly this means the platform opposes abortion and by implication, Roe versus Wade. The party is also against all human cloning “whether for reproductive or therapeutic” purposes.

The Democratic platform supports

stem cell research, state funding for family planning including contraceptives for low income women who would not have access to such. The platform also supports Roe versus Wade along with opposition to the effort in Iowa to amend the constitution to remove a woman’s right to make her own health decisions.

Both platforms favor increased support for the care of the mentally ill.

Only the Democratic platform is in favor of cannabis oil for medical reasons.

The Republican platform has a strong anti-immigrant flavor as is found in the section on Liberty, first paragraph, under National Sovereignty paragraphs one and two and four; in Commerce, paragraph one. The anti-immigrant attitude is not found in the Democratic platform.

Differing approaches are given in the section on Government. For example, the Democratic platform favors ending the “Patriot” Act while the Republican platform opposed the “fairness doctrine” as a limit on freedom of speech.

The Republicans are opposed to the national health care act while the Democrats support it. Republicans want to restore the death penalty and the Democrats oppose the death penalty. Privatization of Social Security is favored by the while the Republicans oppose this move.

There are a host of other planks. An example is the Republican attacks on the National Endowment for Art; the Democrats attack the pay day loan industry. “Mosaic law” is to be kept in public buildings in the Republican platform. Democrats favor appointing of judges on the basis of merit rather than political affiliation.

After trying to make these comparisons, I came away with the observation the Republican effort subconsciously is trying to preserve a past that is rapidly disappearing — a white society that will soon be in the minority - as presented in their anti-immigrant position.

Democrats are very concerned about the middle class with their emphasis on raising the minimum wage, health care, preserving Social Security for example.

You, of course, might disagree with these comparisons but before you do, read the two platforms, make up your own mind and if you don’t like them in part or in whole, the next time a chance comes to write a platform for your party, get involved and help it to express what you believe.

Summary of platforms Editor’s note: Political party platforms referred to herein were printed in the March 24 Butler County Tribune-Journal and Clarksville Star, page 5. Guest opinions are submissions that meet letter to the editor guidelines on this page, except that they are simply too lengthy to run as letters. There is no other requirement if letter guidelines are met.

Guest Column R.V. Schnucker Parkersburg If you are like me in reading the platforms of the Democratic and Republican parties for Butler County, you were overwhelmed by their length and the diversity of topics. Further, due to the dissimilarities in organization, trying to compare them is similar to comparing apples and oranges. So what I’ve tried to do for my own understanding and perhaps yours as well, was to find a number of key commonalities and differences.

The first and most obvious differences are that the Democratic platform begins with a statement of principles which allows the reader to check the various planks against the given principles. The Republican platform has no general statement of principles so it is impossible to check their various positions against their principles.

However there are common topics in the two platforms. Let’s begin with an area both parties consider — commerce.

Both are generally in favor of expanding studies in alternative energies. The differences are clear. The Republican platform is concerned about the impact of immigrants to the extent of denying citizenship to many of them. Those immigrants who bear children while here would find their children denied citizenship, a violation the U.S. Constitution, Amendment 14, paragraph 1.

Unless there is an error in the newspaper, the Republican platform opposes ANY trade legislation although later in the platform various trade agreements are opposed. A considerable amount of attention is given to expanding the refunds connected with the “bottle bill.”

The platform is opposed to unions and affirms the “Right to Work” law but this is found under the section on State and Local Government.

In contrast, the Democratic platform is strongly in favor of the working class in that the platform supports raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour,

Mary Jane Garbes

Mary Jane (Whiteside) Garbes, of Clarksville, died peacefully early Tuesday, April 5, 2016, from complications due to cancer, at her family home where she lived all her 88-plus years.

Mary Jane was born the daughter of Samuel E. and Mary Elizabeth (Wilcox) Whiteside on July 10, 1927 at the Waverly Hospital. Mary Jane was an only child and graduated from Shell Rock Public School.

Mary Jane worked at Lutheran Mutual in Waverly, Iowa, and on January 1, 1947, was united in marriage to Harlan William John Garbes. To this union, four children were born, Norma, Linda, Darrel and Susan. Mary Jane and Harlan made their home on Mary Jane’s family farm where they crop farmed, milked cows, raised hogs, chickens and beef cattle throughout the years. Mary Jane milked the cows until the barn burnt down in 1967, then milked at Alfred and Mildred Rieman’s barn one mile south of home.

Mary Jane loved milking her cows, gardening, being with family, visiting on the phone with her children, grand-children, in-laws, friends and neighbors, and at family get-togethers. Mary Jane’s mind was sharp up until her death. She never forgot a birthday or anniversary.

Mary Jane is survived by her four children, Norma (Gary) Olmstead, of Cedar Falls; Linda (David) Schrock, of Janesville; Darrel (Joan) Garbes, of Watertown, Tenn.; and Susan (Jay) Schrage, of Allison. Eight grandchildren: Troy Olmstead (Sharla Ashby), of Geneva; Terry (Robin) Olmstead, of Eldora; Todd (Toni) Olmstead, of Geneva; Kelly Schrock, of Waverly; Dawn (Mike) Mason, of Waverly; Kurt (Samantha) Garbes, of Lake City, Tenn.; Jodee (Beau) Pinkston, of Lebanon, Tenn.; and Andrea Schrage, of Allison. Thirteen great-grandchildren, three step-great-grandchildren, and six great-great grandchildren, Cousin, Sally Hammel (Rick) Lynch, of St. Libory, Nebraska; in-laws: Vera Garbes, Don and Ruth Fenneman, and Bud and Marlene Mennenga, all of Clarksville; and Jeanette Garbes, of Nashua; and many in-law nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, great-grandson, Tyler Olmstead; and brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws, John and Martha Wadey; Albert and Anna Garbes; Matt and Laura Franzen; Harold and Louise Grawe; Albert and Dorothy Kluiter; Frederick and Delores Garbes; Raymond Garbes; Bud and Caroline Eltjes; and Carl Garbes.

Caring for Mother Earth Fr. Walter Brunkan

St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Greene A lot has been said and written recently about how to best treat the world God has allowed us to live in and use for our wellbeing. I read recently about a little creature that we take for granted but has probably done more good for farmers than anyone realizes. That creature is the lowly earthworm. Even Charles Darwin wrote about its contribution when he said “It may be doubted if there are any other animals that have played such an important part in the history of the world as these lowly organized creatures.”

Most of us found the earthworm to be significant only as youngsters wanting to go fishing. But consider what it does for the farmer as it works day and night harrowing and fertilizing the soil for our benefit. It burrows twelve to eighteen inches into the ground and brings the subsoil to the surface. It grinds the soil in its gizzard and changes it into a finer texture. It neutralizes the acids of the soil by secreting lime.

How many other lowly creatures faithfully doing their thing keep life going?

Those who daily perform their duties in the so-called lowly jobs of life? Life could not go on without the army of people, insects, birds and animals that perform the servant tasks of life and do it faithfully.

On-farm research shows benefits of letting rye cover crop grow for longer before soybeans Jerald Hinders

Jerald Dale Hinders, 63, of Clarksville, was born the son of Fred John and Marilyn June (Elliot) Hinders on October 22, 1952, Waverly. He received his education from the Clarksville Community School and graduated high school in 1970.

On November 30, 1973, Jerry was united in marriage with Cindy Lynn Smith at the United Methodist Church in Parkersburg. They lived their entire married life in Clarksville. Jerry worked at John Deere in Waterloo, for 27 years, shortly after retirement in 2000, and began working for the City of Clarksville where he was currently employed.

Jerry loved old cars and going to car shows, the Minnesota Vikings and old rock and roll. Some of his favorite pastimes were wood working, home remodeling, painting and drawing and would often draw a new cartoon daily.

Jerry was an honest, positive man who generally was happy-go-lucky and often a prankster. In the warmer months you could find him gardening tomatoes and peppers that he enjoyed sharing. Jerry enjoyed hunting and fishing with his family and friends nearly every year. The times spent canoeing, camping, house boating on the Mississippi River were some of his favorite things to do while enjoying Old Milwaukee.

Jerry died Tuesday, April 5, 2016, at his home of natural causes. He was preceded in death by his parents; one sister, Carol Hinders, his mother-in-law, Edna Babcock; and two brothers-in-law, Rob Smith and John Babcock.

Jerry is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Cindy Hinders, of Clarksville; two sons: Corey (Jolynn) Hinders, of Plainfield; and Chris (Dana) Hinders, of Clarksville; one daughter, Melanie Hinders, of Clarksville; eight grandchildren: Evan, Elizabeth, Emily, Logan, Bailey, Emma, McKenzie, and Westen; two brothers: Marlin (Mary) Hinders, of Clarksville; and Doug (Sherry) Hinders, of Greene; and two sisters: Sharon (Doyle) Ramsey, of Nashua; and Mary (John) Tegtmeier, of Nashua.

Funeral services were held on 10:30 a.m., Friday, April 8, at the Church of Christ in Clarksville, with Pastor Val Swinton officiating. Special music, “Mystic Highway,” recorded by John Fogerty was played. Casketbearers were Joe Hinders, David Hinders, Jeremy Hinders, Seth Doeppke, Kyle Ramsey and Jared Ramsey.

Honorary casketbearers were Jerry’s grandchildren: Evan, Elizabeth, Emily, Logan, Bailey, Emma, McKenzie and Westen. Burial will be at a later date in the Lynwood Cemetery in Clarksville.

Visitation was held from 4-8 p.m., Thursday, at the Redman-Schwartz Funeral Home in Clarksville and one hour before services at the church. Memorials may be directed to the family of Jerald Hinders. Online condolences may be left at www. redman-schwartz.com.

AMES — After a fantastic fall for cover crop growth, cereal rye is up and growing around the state. Over the next month, it will be time to turn that green carpet brown and plant the cash crops.

But when is the optimal termination date? Currently, many farmers play it safe by terminating two to three weeks before planting time, hoping to limit the chance that a cover crop might decrease the yield of their subsequent cash crop.

Some farmers, however, are finding they can let their cereal rye cover crop continue to grow right up to – and even after – soybean planting time. These farmers have been conducting on-farm research with Practical Farmers of Iowa to determine the best time to terminate cover crops ahead of soybeans.

Butler County has about 250 acres seeded to rye that was harvested as forage and subsequently planted to either corn or soybeans, and Franklin County had about 100 acres of the same, said Steve Abbas, who directs the Butler and Franklin County Farm Service Agencies.

Considering the total number of cropped acres in both counties, the rye seedings for forage compose approximately 0.05 percent of the total tillable acres, he said.

A significant increase in the use of cover crops has been seen in the area.

However, data on rye as a cover crop locally was not immediately available.

Results from the first two years of this PFI study show that farmers may be able to delay termination date without affecting yield, thus extending the time they’re benefiting from having a growing cover crop. In addition to benefits such as reduced erosion and improved water quality, cover crops can decrease weed pressure and hold nitrates in the soil for the cash crop to use later – both of which can translate into more cost savings for the farmer.

Read the full report – “Cereal Rye Cover Crop Termination Date Ahead of Soybeans” – at http://bit.ly/Cereal-RyeCover-Crop-Termination-Date-Aheadof-Soybeans.

In 2014 and 2015, three Practical Farmers members conducted strip trials

to compare two cereal rye termination dates in soybeans. The farmers – all of whom are experienced cover crop growers located in north-central Iowa – included Jeremy Gustafson, of Boone; Jack Boyer, of Reinbeck; and Bob Lynch, of Gilmore City. Each farmer no-tilled or drilled soybeans following either an early (two weeks prior) or late (a day before or after soybean planting) cereal rye termination date. Two of the three farms found no statistical difference in soybean yields from a delayed termination.

Less weed pressure = less herbicide needed

Jack says one of the most interesting results on his farm was how allowing the rye to grow bigger helped to suppress waterhemp – a weed that has developed resistance to a range of herbicides, and can be particularly hard to control. Because he grows seed corn for DuPont Pioneer, which is harvested earlier than field corn, Jack was able to get the rye established earlier in the fall of 2014. As a result, by early May 2015, he had over 4,000 pounds per acre of rye biomass in his research strips.

Early in the 2015 season, Jack noticed the strips with cover crops – in both the early and late termination treatments – had far fewer weeds than those without. As a result, in early July he decided to spray just the no-cover strips with a post-emergence herbicide. By late August, he says the cover crop areas “continued to be as clean as or cleaner than the no-cover areas,” and that the cover crop areas remained mostly free of weeds through the end of the season. Thanks to the cover crop’s weedsuppressing effect, Jack had higher farm profitability that growing season because he needed less post-emergence herbicide.

And because the project results have given Jack the impression that “with soybeans, you have considerable flexibility with the cover crop termination date,” he sees herbicide cost-savings as another potential benefit of planting a cover crop.

Jeremy also noticed lower weed pres-

sure affecting his soybeans in the strips with delayed termination as a result of the extra cover crop biomass. He says that’s an added benefit, on top of the rye’s soil and water quality benefits.

“We wanted to see how big we could let the rye go. We think that the longer you let the cover crop grow, the more chance you have at weed suppression.”

Delaying cover crop termination even a few days can make a big difference in biomass production, because those extra days of growth happen during optimal growing conditions for the rye plant.

This rapid growth was evident to Jeremy when he collected biomass samples as part of the study: When terminated earlier, the cereal rye produced 178 pounds per acre of biomass, compared with 2,684 pounds per acre of biomass when terminated later. Despite the extra plant biomass on the ground at planting time, soybean yields in the two treatments were virtually the same: 62 bushels per acre in the strips terminated early and 64 bushels per acre in the strips terminated late.

Protecting the soil while nourishing the cash crop

Keeping the soil covered is one critical benefit of delaying termination.

During April and May, when heavy rains are common, soil is very susceptible to being lost. Because soil temperatures are rising – and soil is usually wet – spring is also a time of year when soil microbes are especially active and producing nitrates.

If plants aren’t growing on the landscape, those nitrates can leach into groundwater or run off into streams, damaging water quality. Keeping the soil covered as long as possible gives the cover crop more time to capture those nutrients so they are available later in the growing season when the cash crop needs them. Besides helping to nourish the cash crop, this nutrient capture protects water quality.

“Why do I want to pay for nutrients and fertilizers that I just end up losing off of my ground?” Jeremy says of cereal rye’s ability to scavenge nutrients

from the soil.

Both Jeremy and Jack plan to continue this research project for a third year. For Jeremy, the results of the first two years were so convincing that he decided to delay terminating rye and “plant green” on 40 soybean acres last year that were not part of the project.

This year, he says intends to plant an additional 200 acres that way.

Question: Can there be more than one lawful custodian of a public record?

Editor’s Note: This is a monthly column prepared by the Iowa Public Information Board to update Iowans on the IPIB’s activities and provide information on some of the issues routinely addressed by the board.

ANSWER: Yes, there can be. A “lawful custodian” is dened as the “government body currently in physical possession of the public record.” (Iowa Code Section 22.1(2)). If records are maintained outside the physical possession of the government body, such as a contracted service, the government body owning that record is the “lawful custodian.” The government body cannot prevent the examination or copying of a public record by contracting with a nongovernment storage provider.

Here is an example of more than one lawful custodian: A report is generated by a state agency. Copies of the report are sent to a city department and a county department for review and input. When each review is completed, each local department returns all copies to the state agency.

If a record request is led with this city or county department during the period of time that the department has physical possession of the record, that local department is an additional lawful custodian of the public record.

Similarly, an email communication can be in the physical possession of every person who sends or receives that email. If the records request is sent to multiple government bodies, the lawful custodian of each such government body should respond to the record request. It is bad practice, and a possible violation of Chapter 22, for one lawful custodian to assume that another custodian will respond appropriately to a request and fail to respond to a requestor independently.

The Iowa Supreme Court, in Howard v. Des Moines Register and Tribune Co., 283 N.W.2d 289 (Iowa 1979), opined that “lawful possession” equals “lawful custodian.”

In addition, a government body may be the lawful custodian of a record without having physical possession of a record. As part of an overall government policy, records might be stored in a climate controlled off-site storage facility. Even though the records are in the physical possession of a non-government body, the custodian of the records is the government ofce that initially generated those records.

Another situation that could arise is when a government body uses an internet service to store records ‘in the cloud.’

A records request would be directed to the government body responsible for the collection and maintenance of those records, not the internet company that is paid to store the records.

The lawful custodian of records relating to investment of public funds is the public body responsible for oversight of those funds.

BEST PRACTICES: When a request for records is led, the designated ofcer or employee must determine whether that government body has physical possession of the record or has authorized storage of the record off-site. The lawful custodian should notify the requestor promptly of this determination.

Donna Lee Marshall Monday, January 8, 1996, Donna Lee Marshall was found in her southeast side Iowa City mobile home with a gunshot wound to the head. She died the following day. Donna’s 7-year-old daughter Tiffany discovered her mother lying on the living room floor of their trailer around 3 p.m. She ran outside to tell Donna’s boyfriend, Donald Matthess, who had just picked up Tiffany from school.

A search of the mobile home — located at Lot 99 in the Bon-Aire Mobile Home Lodge — yielded mostly prescription drugs and paperwork pertaining to child custody. Authorities searched

both the mobile home and two cars that were parked there. Investigators also took some child custody documents addressed to Marshall and letters from the state child support recovery unit addressed to Matthess.

When Marshall divorced Scott Sweeting in 1989, Marshall was awarded custody of Tiffany.

Sweeting was granted visitation rights, but divorce proceedings on file with the clerk of court showed Sweeting petitioned the court in 1992 to grant full custody to him. No final ruling had been made at the time of Marshall’s murder.

otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is a time for wining, dining and celebrating moms everywhere.

Make this Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day one to remember by hosting a special brunch get-together for the special ladies in your life.

Although quality time together is the true purpose of the day, you can add some special touches to help create a one-of-a-kind brunch to share old memories while you make new ones.

Plan your tablescape. Colorful, fragrant flowers and luxurious linens make your everyday table shine. Use plates in complementing shades and sparkling glassware for an elegant touch. If you have room, add personal touches to the centerpiece, such as mementoes from shared trips or small picture frames with pictures of the two of you through the years.

Prepare a sophisticated menu. Give a nod to the importance of the day with dishes that are a step above standard brunch fare. A richly flavored entree such as this Spring Vegetable and Chevre Tart looks elegant but is surprisingly easy to make. For a cohesive spread, remember to give the basics a boost, too, such as a homemade flavored whipped butter.

Offer a gift with meaning. To truly elevate the occasion, serve (or gift) your mom with a deliciously meaningful wine, such as Cambria Benchbreak Chardonnay or Pinot Noir from the famed Santa Maria bench in Santa Barbara County. Cambria is a family-owned winery that believes in honoring women across the United States and globally. Each year, the winery gives $100,000 to women making a difference in their communities through their Seeds of Empowerment program.

tom sheet. (Optional: create basket-weave pattern with remaining pastry dough).

Brush pastry with egg white and bake until pastry is deep golden brown, about 35 minutes. Serve immediately.

Pinot Noir Rosemary Butter Recipe courtesy of Erin Kennedy of My Thirty Spot Blog 1 cup salted homemade whipped butter (recipe below) 3/4 cup Cambria Benchbreak Pinot Noir 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary Fill shallow saucepan with wine and

simmer until consistency becomes syrupy (reducing to about 1/8 cup).

Let syrup cool completely.

Add syrup and rosemary to whipped butter and mix. Serve chilled.

Homemade Whipped Butter 1/2 quart heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon salt (up to 3/4 teaspoon, to taste) In food processor, mix butter until cream turns to consistency of cottage cheese and starts to separate from buttermilk, about 3-5 minutes of constant mixing. Strain butter from

buttermilk.

Use wooden spoon to knead butter in water (just like dough) to remove all remaining buttermilk. Drain and repeat until water is clear.

Remaining whipped butter is ready to serve or for adding flavoring ingredients.

Ross medals, leads Clarksville girls’ golfers to triangular home victory CLARKSVILLE – Bridget Ross worked her way through a windy C.A.R.D. golf course on Monday, April 4 to medal during her home course opener and lead the Indian girls to a triangular victory.

Ross, who along with all of her teammates, is pulling double duty by competing on Clarksville’s girls’ track team, shot a 46 which was better than some boys’ scores turned in

during the chilly meet.

The Indians shot 237 as a team, 60 strokes better than Hudson during a meet in which the players were using the 10-drop format – 10 shots maximum per hole on the nine-hole course.

Both Madison Stirling and Chelsea Capper shot 62 to tie for runner-up at the meet. Rounding out team scoring for first-year coach Jill Norton’s squad

was Bethany Negen, who shot 67.

Union brought up the rear with 306.

Clarksville’s boys were a little short-handed for its opener with only three golfers competing, not enough to include a team score.

Both Cael Negen and Trace Kromminga shot 65s to pace the Indians.

Union won the boys’ team scoring while Hudson’s Noah Haack was the

boys’ medalist, carding a 40. Hudson shot 192.

Clarksville girls 237 Hudson 297 Union 306 Clarksville (237) – Bridget Ross 46, Madison Stirling 62, Chelsea Capper 62, Bethany Negen 67, Capri Rabatach 81.

Union boys 175 Hudson 192 Clarksville no team score Clarksville (no team score) – Trace Kromminga 65, Cael Negen 65, Austin Myers 71.

Boys Golf Has Busy Week Girls Golf Starts Off In Store Season Swinging Strong

By Cael Negen

On Monday, April 4, the varsity boys golf team played their first round of competitive golf for the season at home.

The boy golfers are senior Trace Kromminga, sophomore Cael Negen, and freshman Austin Myers.

Due to a small number of golfers at this point in the season, the boys’ team score is not counted at the end of each meet.

Even still, Kromminga scored a 65.

“I felt alright with my score,” he said.

Coach Jill Norton is looking forward to a good season for both the boys and girls, especially once her boys team is back to bigger numbers.

“The goals I have for this season are to win another Conference Championship, which I think is very possible, making it to

the second round playoffs and on to state,” she said.

“I would also like to see everyone improve their scores by the end of the year,” Norton added.

The boys golf team will travel to Wapsie Ridge and compete against Dunkerton and Tripoli on Tuesday, April 12. Then they will travel to Nashua-Plainfield on both Thursday, April 14, and Friday, April 15.

Thursday’s meet is against NorthwoodKensett, West Fork, and Nashua-Plainfield, while Friday’s meet will be against NashuaPlainfield and New Hampton.

The boys will round out a busy week with an invitational at the Waverly golf course against the Go-Hawks, Waukon, Charles City, New Hampton, Oelwein, BelmondKlemme, and North Fayette Valley.

On Monday, April 4, the Clarksville Indians girls golf team hosted their first meet of the year at C.A.R.D., Inc. The Indians competed against Hudson and Union, and the girls took the lead, shooting a 237.

Hudson came in second, shooting 297, and Union in third, shooting 306.

Senior Bridget Ross was a medalist, shooting a 46.

“I achieved my goal of shooting under a 50, but I need to work on my putting,” Ross said.

Junior Madison Stirling shot a 62.

“This was the first meet, so I think this is a pretty good score to start off with to improve

from,” Stirling commented.

Junior Chelsea Capper also shot a 62.

“This was the best score I’ve gotten, so I really think I’m getting better,” said Capper.

“I just need to work more on putting.”

Sophomore Bethany Negen shot a 67, and fellow sophomore Capri Rabatach shot an 89.

The girls will golf again at Wapsie Ridge against Dunkerton and Tripoli on Tuesday, April 12. Then the girls team will travel to Nashua-Plainfield on both Thursday, April 14, and Friday, April 15.

Thursday’s meet is against NorthwoodKensett, West Fork, and Nashua-Plainfield, while Friday’s meet will be against NashuaPlainfield and New Hampton.

Show support for military kids: $2199 2199 Wear purple April 15 • 452cc Toro Engine • 42” 2-Blade Mowing Deck

$

By Joy Rouse, Kim Brantner & David Brown, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa - One day of purple and an official month of recognition are simple ways to show support for Iowa’s military children and families whose sacrifices continue year-round, say human sciences specialists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

Iowans can join people throughout the country who will be wearing purple on Friday, April 15. Called Purple Up Day, it’s part of the Month of the Military Child, an annual invitation to show appreciation for military children and recognize their strengths and commitment.

The color purple is used because it symbolizes all branches of the military. It is the combination of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine red and Navy blue.

Joy Rouse, along with Kim Brantner and David Brown, specialize in family life issues. The three ISU Extension and Outreach specialists work with Iowa Joining Community Forces to provide resources for military families.

• Clarksville Star •

by Dave Clark

120 Years Ago: Spring, 1896 The council has concluded to allow $20 per month to the marshal; his duties include the lighting of all of the street lamps. The same work has cost $15 heretofore. This was such a wonderful job that they even wrote a song about “The Old Lamplighter of LongLong Ago.”

80 Years Ago: Spring, 1936 A Waverly man was killed instantly when the truck he was driving was struck by a Rock Island passenger train at the crossing on No. 53 at the south edge of town. (South Main Street, now Hwy. 188) The truck was thrown about 30 yards to the west and the front trucks of the engine were thrown from the tracks but fortunately the train was not derailed. Local section men aided in getting the wheels back on the track.

This was long before signal lights or any other type of warning, other than the normal cross-bars at this crossing.

• The state high school basketball tournament at Des Moines March 26, 27 and 28 will be broadcast over WOI Iowa State College radio station.

“Andy,” known to thousands of Iowans for his work picture of past tournaments, will be on hand for the sixth consecutive year to bring fans a “basket by basket” description of the games.

This was before the tournament was moved to the Field House in Iowa City, also before the days of Jim Zobel as play by play announcer.

• Bernard Huber and friend Mary Mae Montgomery, both of whom teach in the schools at Dawson, Iowa, spent the week end at the A. G. Huber Home.

This is an item that will be a surprise to some. Both were well-known and

longtime residents of Clarksville but certainly not known as school teachers.

50 Years Ago: Spring, 1966 • The frame building at the corner Main and Superior streets was moved this week. The Iowa State Bank has plans for a new bank building on the corner. The building moved was an old timer. Through the years it housed a number of businesses including a restaurant, under several managers, over a span of years, a ladies’ clothes shop, barber shop and probably other businesses. In old pictures, postcards etc. a large sign, painted on its south side, proclaimed it was Thompson Bros. & Cook, men’s clothing.

The building at the east end of the same lot will also be moved or torn down. For many years it was a service station and repair shop. At one time the gas pumps were almost on the curb, or would be today.

• “Spring Swing,” a musical variety snow will be presented by the Shell Rock Association Friday and Saturday April 15 and 16. The show will be given in the Boyd Building, beginning at 8:00 p. m.

It is an adult presentation and will include numbers by a swing band and chorus, a Dixieland group, comedy acts and solo numbers.

The admission charge is $1.00 for adults and 50 cents for students.

I’m assuming this was the show’s debut and some 50 years later it still is an annual event with much the same format. However it was necessary to put on two shows a night to accommodate their large number of fans and to take the show, “on the road” to several places. The admission price advanced a little also.

130 Years Ago: 1886 This article appeared in the January 21, 1886 issue of the STAR. It itemizes the income from the farm of F. M. Russell for the year of 1885.

Note; Fredrick Martin Russell was my G-G-Grandfather and the farm, that he homesteaded and built on in 1856/57, is now the home of Steve and Kimra Bergman, west of town, just across the river on C-33. It was owned by our family for almost 100 years.

A part of that report follows: COW IS KING—the amount received for cream, the product of thirteen cows during the year 1885, totaled $416, an average of $32.00 for each cow.

He also raised, from these cows thirteen calves worth at least $8 each, making a showing of $40 from each cow for the year, after taking out the butter used in the family. Wm. Cronin purchased the cream.

Mr. Russell sold to J. W. Shaw of this place during the same year the products of 150 hens which brought him the handsome sum of $102.24.

He sold $11.68 worth of chickens, making an average of 75 cents per hen, or a total of $113.92, besides what the

family consumed.

This is a remarkable showing, and still we see farmers raising grain to sell. Mr. Russell is a successful farmer and keeps close account of his business each year, as all farmers should. It sounds like the editor was suggesting that the raising of grain was not nearly as profitable as milking and raising chickens! Regardless this is “The Way it Was” on one farm in 1885.

J

140 Years Ago: Spring, 1876 An act passed by the General Assembly of the State of Iowa has changed the name of the village of West Point to Bristow, effective on March 14, 1876.

• A proposal by a member of the school board to hold school for nine months of the year was voted down and school will be in session the customary eight months next year.

• Lumber is being distributed along the east side of Main Street for the purpose of putting down sidewalks.

• At the last session of the Supervisors, Messrs. Larken and Hazlet were appointed a committee to purchase a poor farm, and we are informed that they have secured 160 acres of what is known as the Hemmenway School House in Jackson. About all that remains of the old Poor Farm is only one small building, which was last used as the Jackson Township polling place.

Michael L. Fitzgerald State Treasurer of Iowa

(515) 281-5368 • treasurer@iowa.gov • www.treasurer.state.ia.us

This April, my office is joining various financial institutions across the state and nation in celebrating Financial Literacy Month. A number of banks, libraries and public organizations are offering programs emphasizing the financial education and empowerment of all Iowans. Throughout the month, I will release a series of four editorials addressing various financial topics.

Financial Literacy Month reminds us that a child is never too young to start learning successful financial habits, and an adult is never too old to continue. A solid financial education starts as early as kindergarten, when children learn the value of coins and how to count.

The introduction of saving, spending, budgeting and borrowing builds upon this elementary education as students progress into middle and high school.

Teenagers become financial actors, earning paychecks and putting their saving and spending knowledge into practice. The questions of whether to rent or buy, when to use credit, and how much money to put aside for retirement are facing adults of all ages. Throughout life, informed financial decisions pave the way for economic security.

I encourage all Iowans to participate in Financial Literacy Month by reading a financial article, opening a new savings account or reevaluating a budget.

Take the time to learn how an IRA (Individual Retirement Account) prepares people for retirement, or how a healthy credit score translates to lower loan and insurance rates. Empower the next generation by encouraging smart financial habits at home. My office is committed to providing all Iowans with unbiased financial information and education programs, and is pleased to offer a list of resources – from simulation games to savings calculators – on our website.

Visit IowaTreasurer.gov, click on the “For Citizens” tab and select “Financial Education and Empowerment.”

For more ways to participate in Financial Literacy Month, visit MoneySmartWeek.org and select “Find Events.” Money Smart Week is celebrated during the last week of April (Saturday, April 23 – Saturday, April 30), and offers a variety of financial awareness events across neighborhoods in Iowa. From bike rides to piggy bank decorating contests, parents and kids alike will find a fun way to learn about finances.

In the upcoming weeks, I will discuss the importance of saving for a few of life’s biggest moments and offer tips on how to keep children financially engaged over the summer months. Stay tuned!
