Hirsch challenged himself to turn photography from a profession into a hobby while recovering from his accident. He discovered the volume button of the iPhone allowed him to control the shutter release and resulting exposure.

His subject was an old bur oak two miles from his house.

For two to three weeks, he took photos in close proximity to the tree, then walked out further and began to capture the surrounding environment.

Clarksville School Board sets raises

Following the Clarksville Education Association’s ratification of the master contract, Clarksville School Board approved 3.54 percent increases for teaching staff (percentage is impact of overall packages) and classified staff (overall) and a 3.5(0) percent increase for administrators (each individual package), on Thursday, May 5.

Superintendent Randy Strabala spent much of the meeting providing the board with considerations to share with constituents regarding factors in the contract negotiation decisions.

In general. the increase for teachers will be about $1,700 to $1,900, about $9 to $10 a day, Strabala said.

Classified staff consists of clerical, associates, custodians, bus drivers and kitchen staff.

To average out the increase and have all classified staff receive a 45-cent-hourly increase for salary and benefits was advocated by board member Justin Clark and ultimately supported by the board.

Back to Basics: Low maintenance flower garden care

By Melinda Myers Grow a beautiful flower garden with minimal care by investing a bit of time at the start of the season to reduce on-going care.

Always match flowers to the growing conditions and the care you are willing to provide. Low maintenance plants need minimal or no deadheading and staking. This means you’ll be growing good-looking plants with little effort on your part. And if the plants are suited to the growing conditions and resistant to common pests you’ll be doing less work managing insect and disease problems.

Further reduce your workload by selecting self cleaning or free flowering annuals and perennials and those bred for long bloom and compact growth.

You’ll enjoy more colorful flowers with less pruning and grooming.

Ageratum, angelonia, calibrochoa and many of the newer petunia cultivars are just a few of the annuals that do not need regular deadheading for continual bloom. Include perennials like willow amsonia, bugbane, Solomon seal, turtlehead and sedum autumn joy for lower maintenance and big results.

Prepare the soil and provide proper fertilization before planting. Work several inches of compost or other organic matter into the top 8 to 12 inches of soil to improve drainage and water holding ability. Incorporate a low nitrogen organic fertilizer like Milorganite (milorganite.com) at the same time. The slow release formulation provides needed nutrients throughout most if not all of the season. Plus, it promotes slow steady growth that won’t interfere with flowering, is less susceptible to pests and is more drought tolerant.

Properly space the plants, making sure they have sufficient room to reach their full size. Overcrowding means you will be thinning or dividing plants more often or battling disease problems instead of enjoying the full beauty the plants provide.

Consider removing flowers on annuals at planting. This allows plants to focus energy on establishing roots instead of flowers. Can’t bear to do this? Then remove the flowers on every other plant or every other row. Then a week or two later remove the flowers on the remaining plants. You will soon be rewarded with full compact plants that will pro-

Easy and budget-friendly ways to add curb appeal

Curb appeal can help a home get noticed in a bustling real estate market. Curb appeal also can contribute to the aesthetics of a neighborhood for residents who plan to stay put, and many homeowners feel an attractive exterior is just as important as a comfortable interior.

Homeowners do not have to spend a fortune to improve the curb appeal of their homes. With these strategies, anyone’s home can take on a more appealing look.

Clean up A messy, untamed front yard can detract from a perfectly acceptable home.

Cleaning up your yard and home’s exterior is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to give the place a makeover. Cut back overgrown shrubs, plants and trees. Make sure the front door is clearly visible and that any walkways are edged and accessible. Store garbage pails behind a barrier and keep trash out of sight. Store children’s toys in the backyard rather than strewn across the front lawn. These simple steps can improve curb appeal instantly.

Spruce up the lawn A well-manicured lawn can go a long way to making a home more appealing.

If your thumb is anything but green, hire a professional lawn and garden service to help you establish a lush, green lawn.

Dress to impress The entryway to a home is the first thing visitors will see. Be sure the front door and entryway are in good repair.

A pop of color can’t hurt, either. If you do not like the idea of painting the door a vivid hue, dress it up with a colorful wreath or another decorative accent.

Carry your interior design style to the outdoors as well. Welcoming accents, such as cushioned chairs or potted plants, also add curb appeal. Consider painting house numbers on a terra-cotta pot and filling it with plants. The pot will be decorative and functional.

Rely on symmetry Symmetry is pleasing to the eye and easy to arrange. Use it to frame your entryway and throughout your property.

Symmetrical use of lighting fixtures, plants, trees, and decorative items really can have an impact.

Don’t forget lighting Outdoor lighting adds appeal and safety to a property. Use lighting to accent a special landscaping feature or to illuminate a walkway. Few people enjoy approaching a dark home, and outdoor lighting can ensure your property always is well-lit. Remember, curb appeal is applicable both day and night.

Improving on curb appeal can make a difference in how others view your home.

duce more flowers throughout the season.

Pinch back long and leggy transplants.

Use a hard pinch to remove the tip and several inches of stem. Use your pruners or fingers to remove stems just above a set of leaves. The remaining plant will still look good while you wait for new leaves and stems to grow and produce new blooms.

Encourage branching on single stemmed plants with a soft pinch. Remove just the uppermost portion of the stem where the leaves and tip are starting to develop. Soon you will have a well branched plant and more blossoms.

Improve plant posture and reduce the need for staking with early season pruning. Keep mums and asters compact by pinching them back to six inches throughout June to encourage compact growth. Eliminate floppy growth and the need for staking on late bloomers like Boltonia, Autumn Joy sedum, Russian sage and Heliopsis Revive catmint and perennial salvia that flop open in the center with pruning.

Cut flopping plants back halfway once or twice a season as needed.

And don’t forget to mulch. Covering

the soil surface with an inch or two of shredded leaves, evergreen needles/pine straw or other organic material will conserve moisture, suppress weeds and improve the soil as they decompose.

Always water new plantings often enough to keep the top few inches of soil moist. Once established water thoroughly and only as needed. This encourages drought tolerant roots, so you’ll need to do less watering in the future.

With proper planning, plant selection and soil preparation you can keep your ongoing care to a minimum. That means more time to relax and enjoy your beautiful garden.

Prepare cooling systems for the warmer weather One springtime task on homeowners' to-do lists is checking cooling systems to ensure they are ready for summer.

Proper maintenance of cooling systems is essential to saving energy and keeping utility costs down. Fortunately, homeowners need not be certified HVAC technicians to maintain their cooling units.

•Clean filters. Whether a home is kept cool by a whole-house central air conditioning system or window units, clean filters are necessary to keep the units working efficiently. Routinely replacing or cleaning filters is one of the most important maintenance tasks to improve airflow and increase efficiency. The U.S. Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy says replacing a dirty, clogged filter with a clean one can lower an air conditioner's energy consumption by anywhere from 5 to 15 percent.

•Know the square footage. When replacing a cooling system, have an understanding of the size of your home (or room if installing an window unit).

Determine the area of the home so you buy a unit that suits your needs. Air conditioners use BTUs (British Thermal Units) to define cooling power.

The more BTUs, the larger the space that can be cooled. However, homeowners do not want to exceed the necessary cooling power. This leads to energy waste. EnergyStar.gov can help homeowners find the right cooling system for their needs.

• Inspect system coils. The evaporator

and condenser coils on air conditioners can collect dirt, even when filters are maintained. Dirty coils are less efficient at absorbing heat, so periodically remove the dirt. Outdoor coils can be kept cleaner by cutting back foliage from the unit to allow better air flow.

•Inspect condensate drains. Energy.gov also suggests making sure condensate drains, which take moisture pulled from the air away, are functioning properly. If they're clogged, they may not be effective at reducing humidity in a home, and they may even leak.

•Clear debris. Remove fallen leaves or other plant material from condenser units and fan blades. Obstructed components can cause the system to retain heat, compromising its ability to work effectively. Some homeowners prefer to cover their condensers at the end of the cooling season to keep leaves and dirt out of the unit.

•Check window unit seals. When installing window units, make sure all seals around the air conditioner are in place to prevent cool-air loss.

•Hire a technician. Air conditioner technicians can be very helpful and will know how to prepare a system for hot weather. Technicians typically conduct multipoint inspections and measure such things as refrigerant levels and duct leakage. Airflow through the evaporator coil also may be checked. If a homeowner suspects the thermostat is not working properly, a technician can verify if that is true and even install a new one if necessary.

On to ‘greener’ pastures Once the first rush of spring fieldwork is done (meaning corn is planted and sprayed) attention often turns to the other green space around home – the lawn!

We often equate the appearance of the lawn (no weeds, lush green grass, neatly mowed, etc.) to the amount of time spent maintaining it.

When I was teaching (and had a life in the summer) I did most of our lawn mowing and enjoyed it! Except the year we got a new mower that for some reason would not stop until it ran into the apple tree! (My hair was so tangled up in the branches I thought I’d never get free!)

Now that I no longer have a life during the summer, my husband does most of the mowing while I stay busy running to fairs and meetings!

• When is the “correct” time to begin mowing lawns? I have learned that the standard Extension & Outreach answer is “it depends.”

I do know that there comes a time when one looks out the window and comments, “We need to mow the lawn.”

That first mowing of the year stimulates lawn growth.

One of the best cool weather grasses to plant is Kentucky bluegrass; it has a tendency to grow fast during the spring when it is a little cool. (Can’t you just see that grass growing in Kentucky with white fences keeping in thoroughbreds?)

It’s important to remember the onethird rule – no more than one third of the total leaf surface should be removed at each mowing.

I used to like to mow pretty close to the ground so I wouldn’t have to mow so often. DO NOT DO THIS! You can actually do quite a bit of damage to your

lawn using this strategy. I think the term for this is scalping, which does not conjure up good images in my mind! The correct height to mow is between two and three inches.

• Do you need to fertilize your lawn each year?

The only sure way to know is to do a soil test; we do have soil test kits at the office you can send in.

If you choose to fertilize without a soil test, use a complete N-P-K fertilizer and apply one pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet.

The best time to apply fertilizer is in September, so this need not be done now.

A pre-emergence herbicide can also be applied mid April to mid May. • Of course there are many safety precautions one should take when mowing the lawn. I’ve heard many stories of accidents that happen when these aren’t followed.

My daughter-in-law works at an eye doctor’s office and it seems like every year some child comes in with an eye injury and the possibility of blindness.

Please, turn on a video and leave those little ones in the house when anyone is mowing the lawn.

I know we mow when it is sometimes hot out, but long pants and sturdy shoes are a must. (I think my husband added a sweatshirt and vest when he was mowing two weeks ago!)

We all like the look of a neatly mowed lawn (especially one with a minimum of those pretty yellow flowers), but please, be safe when trying to achieve this image of perfection!

Tabitha Ubben, a senior biology major from Bristow, was one of the students who participated.

Ubben’s presentation was titled The kiss of death for cancer?

Henry ‘Hank’ Gray

Henry “Hank” W. Gray, 56, of Clarksville, and formerly from Waverly, died suddenly in a construction accident, Monday, May 2, 2016, in Denver.

Henry William Gray was born on August 16, 1959, the son of DW and Bessie (Hupp) Gray in Estherville. The family moved to Waverly soon after when his father started his optometry practice. He was raised in Waverly and baptized at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in 1975. Hank graduated from Waverly Shell Rock High School in 1977. He attended one year at Wentworth Military Academy in Missouri and then attended UNI, before starting his career in construction. From 1979 to 1988, he worked in the Dallas, Texas metro area on many projects including his favorite and the one he was most proud of, The Ross Perot EDS Cluster. He moved back to Waverly in 1988.

He was well known for his excellent concrete work and worked for numerous construction firms in the area. He was currently employed at Snelling Construction of Tripoli the last 7 years. He was known to many as “Hank.” He married the love of his life, Marilee Myers, on February 18, 1989, at Trinity United Methodist Church in Waverly. He was a proud and loving father of their four sons. The couple raised their young family in Waverly, until 2005, when they all moved to an acreage near Clarksville, what Henry fondly referred to as “The Resort.”

Hank was a unique individual who truly enjoyed life to the fullest. He marveled at nature and the “beauty of it all.” He enjoyed being outdoors, fishing and turtle hunting with his boys. He was very creative and built meticulous models in his spare time. He was a deep thinker who got a kick out of sending mass texts with his words of wisdom. He really enjoyed going to the boys’ sporting events, where he was often one of the loudest fans.

Henry was a passionate man with a deep appreciation for music. He loved going to music events and playing tunes in the garage and around the patio fire with his family and friends. Most of all, Henry loved spending time with his family. He and his wife pondered many hopes and dreams for their sons’ futures and how they would spend their retirement years, which he looked forward to.

Survivors are his loving wife, Marilee E. Gray, of Clarksville; his first son, Justis E. Gray, (Rachael Meagher) of Richmond, Virginia; his second son, Hunter W. Gray, (Katie Wedeking) of Clarksville; his third son, Weston W. Gray, of Cedar Falls; and his fourth son, Spencer H. Gray, of Clarksville; his mother, Bess Gray, of Waverly; two brothers, Barrett (Mary Jo) Gray, of Spirit Lake; and Stuart (Diane) Gray, of Waverly; two sisters, Elizabeth Schellhorn, of Granbury, Texas; and Catherine (Andrew) Remley, of Shell Rock; sisters-in-law, Kathy (Marvin) Folkerts, of Waverly; and Jeanie (Jon) Simpson, of Cedar Falls; brothers-in-law, Jeff (Bernita) Myers, of Shell Rock; and Wade (Nikki) Myers of Waverly; and so many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends that meant a lot to him, including some of his son’s friends, Henry took under his wing, and a special nephew, Joseph Rosol, of Windsor Heights.

He was preceded in death by his father, Dr. D.W. Gray, brother-in-law, Roger Schellhorn; father-in-law, Ellwood Myers; his mother-in-law, Bille Myers; sister-inlaw, Janis Onstad and a special uncle, Ed Kabele.

Funeral services were held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, May 6, 2016, at the KaiserCorson Funeral Home in Waverly, with Pastor Val Swinton officiating. Private family burial was in Harlington Cemetery at a later date. Visitation was held from 4-8 p.m. on Thursday, May 5, at the Kaiser-Corson Funeral Home in Waverly and also an hour prior to the service on Friday. Memorials may be directed to the Gray family for a later designation in Henry’s name and online condolences for Hank may be left at www.kaisercorson.com.

Encourage Kindness Today

Never too old On May 5, Butler County Extension & Outreach, along with Progressive Agriculture, hosted 130 fourth graders at the Butler County fairgrounds for its annual Farm Safety Day. Plans for Safety Day begin in July when applications are made to host such a day. Butler County has been holding a Farm Safety Day since its inception over twenty years ago.

To date over one million children and adults have been impacted by the safety education presented at these days.

I have handed the reins of Farm Safety Day over to (Butler County Youth Coordinator) Holly (Merritt) who did a fantastic job lining up presenters and she even ordered some awesome weather (which I hadn’t been able to do for a number of years!) I was able to serve as a group leader and actually attend all the sessions this year, which was very interesting and informative.

New sessions for 2016 included Tractor Safety and Fire Safety. In looking at some statistics from last year, Fire Safety was the session taught at the most Safety Days – 65 percent. Climbing on the fi re truck, listening to the horn and jumping when the siren blew seemed to be big hits with this year’s fourth graders!

Of course this year (as in past years!) Grain Safety (led by four awesome female FFA members from Aplington-Parkersburg) was a favorite as kids pulled to see if they could rescue their friend “Jimmy” from a grain bin. We were told we’d have to pull 115 pounds in order to save him and of my ten kids, four were able to save their friend!

ATV, Animal, Sun and Bike were all led by either 4-H County Council members or A-P FFA and all did a super job telling, showing and explaining why and how to be safe.

Every year students want to ride the ATVs or pet the animals — which we can’t do according to Progressive Ag guidelines. (We did have a rabbit for the kids to pet and ATVs for the kids to sit on and that’s the best we can do!)

With only 15 minutes per session, the presenters had to move through their information quickly and this group leader had to refrain from asking too many questions! As a teacher I know it’s better to have too much information rather than not enough but also challenging as time is running out deciding what to leave out and what to cover.

Community volunteers led Electrical, Chemical, Railroad, Firearm and Water sessions. I’m always amazed when volunteers willingly give their time to help us out year after year. Butler County Farm Bureau prepared and served lunch for about 40 volunteers. Butler County Dairy Promoters supplied the ice cream treat we ended the day with.

Farm Safety Day is truly a team effort from Holly, Ruth and I in the office to all the presenters and adult group leaders.

One little boy told me he didn’t think he learned anything, that he knew everything people had told him. I told him that made me a little sad because everyone should try and learn something new each day. He looked at me and said, “Even you?”

I got down on my knees, looked him in the eye and said “Yes, even me.

We are never too old to learn.”

N-P history student asking for help to tell story of WWII hero NASHUA — Nashua-Plainfield High School sophomore Caleb Lines is researching the life of Army Corporal Ervin A. Westendorf and seeks help from the greater Waverly area.

Lines is participating in a program with National History Day called the Normandy: Sacrifice for Freedom Albert H. Small Student & Teacher

Institute. This institute takes 15 student and teacher teams from around the country on a journey of learning and discovery of the sacrifice for freedom made on the shores of Normandy in World War II. Each team selects one silent hero whose story of making the ultimate sacrifice has never been told and is memorialized at the Normandy American Cemetery.

After researching his story, the institute takes the student and teacher to Normandy, France where they continue their journey of learning and conclude by reading a eulogy at the memorial for their silent hero.

Lines has chosen to research the life of Corporal Westendorf and is looking for help telling his story.

Westendorf grew up in Waverly and attended Waverly High School.

He enlisted in the army in 1942.

Lines has discovered that Westendorf fought in the 531st Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion and was killed in action on July 31, 1944.

Individuals with any information that can help memorialize this silent hero, are asked to contact Lines’s teacher, Suzan Turner, at sturner@ nashua-plainfield.k12.ia.us.

THE NORMANDY: SACRIFICE FOR FREEDOM Albert H. Small Student & Teacher Institute was created by Mr. Albert H. Small, a veteran, to help a new generation of young people understand the sacrifice made by Americans in WWII. The institute engages students in a rigorous study of the Normandy D-Day landings. To learn more about this program, visit nhd.org/ classroom-connection/normandysacrifice-for-freedom/.

Investors plan hotel for Parkersburg

By John Jensen Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — A 30-plus room hotel appears headed to Parkersburg.

A group of local investors has tentative plans to build the hotel on yet to be purchased land, likely on the south side of the community. An investor, who asked that his name be kept anonymous, said the group hopes to build the hotel along the Highway 14/57 corridor.

“We need to be out near that intersection where it’s visible, especially not very far from Highway 20,” he said.

The investor said the group’s goal is to see Parkersburg grow and the proposed hotel plays into that.

“There had been some outside people looking into putting up a hotel,” he said. “We caught wind of that and felt ‘If there’s really a need, we need to do some digging.’”

The investor said there was a feasibility study about a hotel in Parkersburg five or six years ago and that the group looked at that study.

“We just thought it could be a great opportunity for our town,” he said.

“With the new ball diamonds going up that’s going to bring people to town.

Our goal is to make (the hotel) as handicapped accessible as possible.”

He added that he hopes the hotel would benefit existing facilities such as the Veteran’s Building as people could be more likely to have weddings in Parkersburg with a place to stay. The nearest hotel to Parkersburg is currently Allison, 13 miles away. Grundy Center (16 miles) also has a hotel and many hotels and motels are located in Cedar Falls and Waterloo.

The group also looked at similar sized communities as Parkersburg that have a hotel, including Garner, which has a thriving hotel.

“We were actually pretty impressed with how they do,” the investor said.

“One of the places we’ve looked at very closely is Garner — we’re kind of modeling the hotel after that.

They do very well, it’s about 30 or 33 rooms, so we (are) kind of looking at that same footprint.”

The investor said the hotel would not be a national chain, but instead would be a privately-owned facility.

“We want the money to stay in town,” he said. “The thing that worried us about a national chain was franchise fees — they’re expensive. If we can avoid them we want to avoid them.”

He added that they hope to be able to provide “upper level accommodations for an economy price.”

The hope, according to the investor, would be to have the hotel open by next spring. He said they have a piece of property in mind for it, though the property has not been purchased. If all goes well he said construction would start either this summer or early this fall.

“There’s a lot of steps between now and when we can actually start — getting plans ready, making sure everything is up to codes ...,” he said.

At last week’s Parkersburg City Council meeting, the idea of a hotelmotel tax was discussed. The tax would have to be passed by voters and the investor said his group was not against the proposed tax.

“If it can bring more revenue into the city, let’s do it,” he said. “When you look at a 6 or 7 percent hotel-motel tax that can bring tremendous revenue to the city. I hope when this came to a vote that citizens would support it.”

Editor’s Note — The hotel investors have asked that their names remain anonymous at this time. The Eclipse News-Review, which is a sister paper to the Star and Tribune-Journal, met with an investor in person for this story.

This is a weekly feature highlighting some of Iowa’s unsolved homicides in the hopes that it will lead to new tips and potentially help solve cases. The project is a partnership between this newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association.

Terri McCauley Terri McCauley, a young mother of two, was last seen alive getting into a white Chevy Nova in a Sioux City parking lot in the early morning hours of Sept. 26, 1983. Before climbing into the car, McCauley told the two friends she was with, that she was going on a date. The white male driving the Nova headed north on Omaha Street and then west onto W. 8th Street. She would not be seen again until her body was found on Oct.6.

A resident walking his dog stumbled across McCauley’s partially decomposed body in the wooded vicinity of 33rd and Pavonia Street.

She lay along an unkempt dirt road, mostly naked. She had been killed point-blank by a 20-gauge shotgun blast to the face. Her shirt and shoes were found near her body.

Investigators collected evidence for DNA analysis, but due to very hot temperatures and decomposition to the body, they were not able

to find much usable evidence.

McCauley’s friends were interviewed and cleared and the case seemed to hit a dead end until three months later. While investigating a case where a man had fired a shotgun into a former girlfriend’s house, police were able to connect a white Chevy Nova, a 20-gauge shotgun and other evidence, to establish a suspect in McCauley’s case.

Though circumstantial evidence seemed to point to the Nova’s driver, an exhaustive search of the vehicle produced no proof she’d ever been in it. Waiting to obtain more solid evidence that would ensure a conviction, prosecutors held out on charging the suspect.

Since the crime, new evidence has come to light that has caused investigators to look at other suspects as well. They continue to follow leads.

TERRI McCAULEY | Age: 18 | Died: September 26, 1983 Location: Sioux City Find out more about this and other unsolved homicides at www.IowaColdCases.org.

Please mark your calendars for this special Remembrance Day, which will be held on Saturday, June 4 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the location of the wreck (go north of Clarksville on Hwy. 188 and follow the signs that will be up that day).

This come-and-go event will feature signage to mark the locations and chain of events; the history, a display, and brief tour by Trains on the Farm (Francis Edeker); Mary Buffington, author of “NIGHT TRAIN TO NISSWA” (about a family from Traer that was on the train during the wreck) will have a booth with her brand new book “WHO WERE THEY? THE VICTIMS OF THE FLOOD CREEK DISASTER”; Operation Life Saver will have a trailer with railroad safety; Butler County Conservation will have a booth about the floodplain and watershed; and there will be a brief memorial service at noon to remember the victims.

This family event will not only remember the victims and events of 100 years ago, but will also be a great educational experience.

The Way It Was

by Dave Clark

140 Years Ago: Spring, 1876 Some interesting items from the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors from the April 1876 term follow. This was a three-day affair, apparently with morning and afternoon sessions.

The treasurer was directed to cancel the road poll tax against N. Codner for the years 1874 and 1875, it appearing by affidavit that said Codner, was over forty-five years of age, at the date of the levy of said tax. Guess that was old in those days.

The auditor was directed to refund L. Oberhalser eighteen and fifty-one hundredths dollars, amount of tax paid by him wrongfully on his property for year 1858. Was that just an old time method of accounting, or maybe just a government thing, in use at the time?

There were 10 petitions for bridges to be built in various places in the county, all but three were refused.

Many people were still going to have to take their chances by fording the creeks and rivers.

• The Storm Tuesday, the worst in years, was more severe than as first reported. Nearly all the wagon bridges in Jackson are carried away or damaged.

Seems like the Board of Supervisors will have to meet again soon!

• The 160 acres, purchased by the supervisors, for the Poor Farm, cost $12.50 per acre with 80 acres broke.

This purchase was mentioned in a previous column, but not the price and the interesting note that only 80 acres were “broke.” It would be very unlikely that you would see that information associated with the sale of Iowa farmland today.

• Here’s another example of an editor’s colorful and somewhat amusing writing, this time from the pen of J. O. Stewart. No doubt a true happening with some slight embellishments added! (As written) Justice En Route—On last Monday, might have been seen a team slowly wending its way across the prairie, crossing bottomless sloughs and fording streams on it weary way to the seat

of justice of Butler County. Upon closer inspection, you would have noticed that wagon contained much legal knowledge. Near the front of the wagon on a picket laid across the box—it was a lumber wagon—set his Hon., Judge G. W. Ruddick, of the 12th district, with a large gad (pole-prod) diligently belaying a pair of quadrupeds—whether mules or horses, their opponent sayeth not. On the sharp edge of the hind board sat the long, lean, lank form of G. C. Wright, Esq., of Waverly, meekly, but selfishly, enjoying all the spring of the hind “axle.” In the wagon was also a small boy pushing on a pair of lines, evidently enjoying the position of honorable companions. In this manner the April session of the Butler Court, accompanied by one of its legal luminaries hove into Butler Center. “If the court knows herself, and we think she do,” it will not be healthy for anyone seeking justice before it, to ask how the Court reached the Center.

Judge Ruddick adjourned court on Wednesday, it being simply impossible to get witnesses to the Center. No doubt this did not improve the Judge’s disposition. The storm, the night before, mentioned earlier in this column, had washed out many bridges.

From Friday morning until Wednesday night there was no mail due to the tracks being washed out in many places.

It was reported that Flood Creek raised 5 feet in 30 minutes during the storm of last week, Dry Creek raised 5 feet in about one hour.

Lost—a black Berkshire sow, weighing 300 lbs., any person knowing of her whereabouts and returning her, will be liberally paid. G. P. Babcock. How do you lose a 300-pound pig?

The cow ordinance expires the first of May, when “bossie” can have full range on the commons and timber, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Outside of these hours look out for Marshal Phillipps. Somehow, I just can’t wrap my mind around cows, pigs and chickens having free range within the town, or what kept

them inside the town. Everyone going out, before curfew, and finding your cattle etc., must have been an interesting event each day.

The river ford south of town has been badly washed during the recent high water, and must be repaired before it is crossable. We cannot expect any trade from the south of town until the work is done. It’s hard to imagine today that Clarksville could easily be somewhat isolated due to high water or snow.

Schools—Tuesday we visited the intermediate and primary departments of our schools, and found them in satisfactory and prosperous condition. Miss Nash has forty or fifty bunches of animate fun, mischief and exuberance to care for, and she seems to be handling them in excellent manner. Miss Glenn has fifty-eight of the same kind of lumps in the primary, and is evidently at home with so large a family. They appear to like their teachers and show a disposition to love and obey. Those who have visited the higher department speak well of the teachers and progress made. That’s a lot of children in one classroom, must have been interesting every day!

• Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

Enjoy every moment of life.

Use caution on unprotected streets, without stop or yield signs.

Give right-of-way.

Lori Backer honored at Wartburg luncheon

Wartburg College students selected Lori Backer, college cleaning staff, for an Outstanding Non-Administrative Staff Award last month. Backer was honored at a Student Senate staff appreciation luncheon on April 12 in the Saemann Student Center.

On the nomination form for this award, students are asked such things as how the staff member has helped them, contributed to the college community and exemplified the college’s mission statement: “Challenging and nurturing students for lives of leadership and service as a spirited expression of their faith and learning.”

About Lori, one student nominator said: “Lori has always been there to support me through all of my college years.

She has been like my mom away from home. Ask anyone who has worked for her, and they will say they love her!

Even years down the road, she still cares about her students. It does not matter who you are Lori is friendly to everyone she comes in contact with.

Her laugh is infectious.

“Without her, the Centennial Complex would be disgusting! She does an excellent job of cleaning the building and never gets any credit. Cleaning is a thankless job, so it is about time for her to earn some recognition.

“Lori nurtures and supports students through their college years. It may not always be academically, but always emotionally, which may be the most important thing as college students learn to live on their own. Besides nurturing students, she always challenges them to be their best no matter what they do.

“Lori may only be a cleaning lady, but (she is) invaluable and … irreplaceable.”

Lori is wife to Chris Backer of Clarksville.

Lori’s was one of four awards given out last month and noted in the announcement. Two of the awards went to teaching or advising staff, and the third went to an event-scheduling manager.

AG SAFETY from page 1 asked who wanted to be a firefighter.

Students heard that, to become firefighters, they have to be 18 years old and complete 160 hours of training for a Firefighter I certificate. To maintain certification takes 24 hours of continuing education a year.

“Guess what the pay is?” Cramer said. “Do you know what ‘volunteer’ means?”

Though firefighters in Allison are unpaid, some larger cities pay firefighters, he said. (Many cities look for law enforcement officers with firefighter training.)

(Star/TribuneJournal photo) dangerous, and illegal (trespassing), Aplington Elementary students heard from Francis Edeker of the Clarksville area, a volunteer presenter with Operation Lifesaver.

Students heard: • Trains overhang the track by one yardstick, but because something could be sticking out of a train, anyone near a railroad is advised to stand back 15 feet for safety.

• If riding a bicycle, make sure the tire is perpendicular to the tracks when crossing, or walk it across the tracks to avoid getting stuck.

• Don’t get in an open boxcar. Edeker referred to it as a rolling tomb. If the door falls shut, it could be weeks before it’s discovered that someone was inside.

• If a car is stalled on the tracks, call 911.

• A train traveling at 55 mph takes a mile to stop.

• Don’t lay metal objects on the rail, such as a penny and especially not a railroad spike. If the train hits them at the wrong angle, they can fly off the track like bullets and injure someone nearby.

Edeker is the state coordinator of Iowa Operation Lifesaver, a nonprofit education and awareness program dedicated to ending tragic collisions, fatalities and injuries at highway-rail grade crossings and on railroad rights-of-way.

Presenters for the sessions in addition to those mentioned were Terry Basol, ISU Extension; Butler County Sheriff’s Office; A-P FFA; Iowa Department of Natural Resources and senior 4-H County Council members.

Also helping out were Butler County Farm Bureau and Butler County Dairy Promoters. fice, Strabala said.

“I prefer to be as conservative as possible,” Strabala said, noting the need to pay professionals competitively. “To replace will cost you more. We won’t always want to be a training ground.”

CONTRACT LANGUAGE: Teachers will be able to put unused sick days into a bank, and if someone has an extended illness, he or she can pull sick days out of the bank.

OFF-STAFF CONTRACTS: No action was taken on May 5. Board member Clark recommended to wait until June at least. Bartlett said this was previously approved quarterly.

RESIGNATION: Mrs. Anna Maria Opperman, who teaches Spanish and secondary language arts, received a position closer to her hometown. The district is advertising to fill the position. Strabala acknowledged the district might not receive both those qualifications in one teacher. refer as “tree fans” telephone from it, and continue the photo project. At the book signing in Clarksville, he had a photo taken with Capri Clark, which is shared on the Clarksville, Iowa Public Library and Clarksville Star Facebook pages.

The tree is located 16 to 20 miles from Dubuque off Highway 151 on a side road called Airport Road. He has posted the approximate address on the That Tree Facebook page.

Casey Leerhoff, a 4-H member, showed his own photos to the guest speaker before the presentation, such as a photo of the sun peeking through the v of a tree with dual leader trunks.

Hirsch advised him to keep looking for such anomalies (unusual occurrences) in photographing. Leerhoff has submitted photos to the fair through 4-H for about two years, he said.

Another attendee, Sheila Conrad, worked for about 20 years as a portrait photographer in Springfield, Minnesota, a town of 2,300. Back when she was in fifth grade, a photo Sheila had taken of her sister with a playhouse won a blue ribbon at the state fair. She later studied photography at then-Hawkeye Tech before going into portraiture.

Attendees spoke highly of the presentation.

HEARINGS from page 1 rather not see a bunch of houses out in the countryside around them, Zoning Administrator Mitch Nordmeyer said.

• At 9:45 a.m., the board will hear comments on a proposed amendment to the County Zoning Ordinance to address planned unit developments or PUDs. A PUD is a large, integrated development adhering to a comprehensive plan on land that can be separated only by a street or other right-of-way. PUDs have gained popularity in part because of limitations of standard subdivision and zoning ordinances.

The ordinance was drafted by an attorney for Dave Allan, in light of Allan’s plans to rebuild along the Shell Rock River outside the floodplain, and just outside of Greene limits.

Allan aims for cabins in the neighbor-

hood to sell for $80,000 to $150,000, depending on extras.

A requirement of the county ordinance that lots be 80-90 feet wide would have brought the price up, Allan said. The cabins are planned for lots about 50 feet wide. The structures will be roughly 25 feet wide and 30 feet deep with a sample to be built to show.

“They’ll be able to have units closer together than what our current zoning allows,” Nordmeyer said.

There were no comments on the PUD ordinance.

All interested parties are encouraged to attend the meeting. Comments may be submitted in advance by phone or by mail. Phone comments in at 319267-9968 or mail to: Butler County Zoning Administrator; Butler County Courthouse; P.O. Box 325; Allison, IA 50602.

CLARKSVILLE from page 1 individually further separates low earners from high earners without regard for longevity, as Strabala and others mentioned in discussion of classified staff. (By contrast, the teachers have the step scale, which takes longevity and educational attainment into account.)

For the classified staff, to raise them all by the same percentage would have been from a 34-cent to 60-cent-hourly increase.

The board had to look at a lot of information that wasn’t all apparent, Strabala said.

One additional item discussed was the sharing of the business manager position, which is done with North Butler schools.

The district receives additional student credits from sharing the position, an incentive which will sunset in three years, however. Additionally, there is a savings on the position versus the district employing two full-time staff for the business of-

THAT TREE from page 1 “What’s your obsession with that tree?” another friend on Facebook asked. The friend challenged him to take a different photo of the tree every day for a year.

Take different photos, Hirsch did. He captured a lichen-encrusted cow skull a farmer had left on a post; created an illusion of fire by lining up a haystack, the tree and his truck headlights; and otherwise leapt at every opportunity.

When the sky changed for storms or sunsets, he rushed to the tree for a new shot. When the muffler of the truck he bought from a young man for cheap after his accident scared a mother turkey off her nest, he seized the opportunity to photograph the nest framing the tree.

The Platteville newspaper featured him in a story. Hirsch created a separate Facebook page for That Tree project followers. Soon after the article ran, his tree photos had 400 followers.

He made professional connections on Instagram. The site’s square frames explain his square photos. He forewent filters, a hallmark of the site.

Though the iPhone only allowed a one-second exposure, he found the “Slow Shutter Cam” app that allowed him to use a tripod and stack one-sec-

ond exposures for long exposures.

In one exemplary photo, he herded lightning bugs in front of the camera using a slow shutter for a yellow painted effect.

The “Camera +” app allowed him to control focus and exposure independently.

A fellow follower of a photographer Hirsch followed on Instagram worked at MSNBC and wanted to promote the That Tree project on the company blog.

Woodlands & Prairies Magazine connected Hirsch with a scientist who took a core sample of the tree and said the bur oak was nearly 200 years old but that the vascular layers in the bark were healthy. Later, Hirsch conducted land ownership research on the property.

Federal Land Survey records revealed: • In 1839, John Hawkins Roundtree held the first deed on the land hosting the now-famed bur oak known as That Tree.

• From 1869-1989, the land was owned by the James Vine family or their descendants.

The land holding That Tree is owned

by Tim Clare, a friend of Hirsch, who was farming it when Hirsch began the project and continues to farm it.

An earth-moving contractor once asked Clare if he wanted the contractor to knock down the tree while he was there. Owing to the tree’s age, Clare said he wasn’t going to be the one to knock it down.

After CBS Sunday Morning picked up Hirsch’s story, the number of followers of That Tree on Facebook swelled to 25,000.

“It took this project for me to realize how trees resonate with people,” he said.

People who not only “liked” his page but sent him a message, called post engagement, numbered 1,500. For a commenter who said she was dealing with depression, he borrowed a philosophy from his own father, who is coping with bone cancer: “Every day is a good day.”

For the last day of the year photographing the tree, his daughter had an idea: Throw a party.

Hirsch invited page followers to the tree. Those unable to make it could send something. He received leaves from an aged tree in Europe and a hat representing the favorite team of a sportswriter, for example. On day 365, 300 human tree fans and 12 dogs showed up for the photo.

He has been known to drive back out to the tree when folks to whom his children

Gary Powers Jr to present: Espionage, Spy Planes and the Cold War Gary Francis Powers, the pilot of the U-2 plane shot down in 1960 by the Russians and one of the main characters in the recent block buster movie Bridge of Spies, will be the focus of a presentation being given by his son, Gary Powers, Jr. at 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 11 at the Krapek Family Fine Arts Center, located in the Cedar River Complex, 809 Sawyer Drive, Osage.

In his presentation, Powers will take audience members on a trip back in time to the Cold War era and walk through the intricate role pilots and spy planes played. It will appeal to history buffs, aviation aficionados and anyone who remembers the Cold War’s ‘duck-and-cover’ bombing exercises in school.

Information about the espionage plane programs was classified top secret by the CIA until 1998, when ‘the rest of the story’ was allowed to be told about Powers. At a declassification conference, the record was set straight on his service to his country. The CIA acknowledged Powers was a member of the military while flying the U-2 over Russia and recognized him as a hero.

Bill Fox, resident of Charles City, was an aeronautical engineer who worked for Lockheed Skunkworks on both the U-2 and the Blackbird spy planes. Fox encouraged Gary Powers, Jr. to present this very-engaging program.

Following WWII, the U.S. was in a race with the Russians to develop rockets and space systems. Although Dr. Werner Von Braun joined the U.S. team, the Russians ended up with a large number of rocket scientists from Germany at the end of the War. Many different ways were tried by the U.S. to stay abreast of the Russian’s arms development progress but it came down to the fact overflight reconnaissance was the only way, at the time, to get information. The C.I.A. was given the responsibility to develop the system needed to gather intelligence.

The U-2 aircraft provided the near term answer for the overflight and the

Gary Powers Jr. Lockheed Skunkworks was given the contract to proceed with building this aircraft. With the rapid development of Russian surface-to-air missiles, Lockheed was well aware the U-2 would be a short term fix. Concept development for an airplane which could fly higher and faster started shortly after the U-2 began flying operational missions.

The Skunkworks Team was faced with the design and fabrication of things which had never been done before including structural materials, how temperature affects high altitude survivability, propulsion systems, manufacturing, stability and control and the need to fly higher and faster to stay out of the Russian’s missile range.

This amazing challenge resulted in the Blackbird. Although it made its first flight less than two years following go ahead, the Blackbird wasn’t ready before Gary Francis Powers was shot down while flying the U-2 on that fateful mission on May 1, 1960.

The Cedar Valley Seminary Foundation is sponsoring this unique program.

Tickets are available at First Citizens National Bank, 300 Main St., Charles City or at the Cedar River Complex, 809 Sawyer Dr., Osage. Tickets may also be purchased by calling the Cedar River Complex at 641-832-3600, by emailing cedarvalleyseminaryfdn@ gmail.com, or by calling the Cedar Valley Seminary Foundation at 641832-2857.

Two injured in farm accident east of Parkersburg Two Butler County residents were injured after an accident involving a tractor and minivan collided east of Parkersburg on Highway 57 on Monday, May 9.

According to an accident report from the Iowa State Patrol, a westbound Allis-Chalmers tractor driven by 19 year-old Carter Bixby, of Dike, was being passed by a non-contact vehicle roughly one-half mile east of the Legend Trail Golf course, when a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan being driven by 41 year-old Carrie Dekat, of Parkersburg, which was following

the non-contact vehicle, failed to see the tractor and rear-ended it.

The collision forced the Grand Caravan to roll onto its top.

The tractor was pushed into the north ditch, ejecting Bixby. The tractor then righted itself and continued on until it eventually stalled in the ditch, Iowa State Patrol reported.

Bixby and DeKat were each taken

by Parkersburg Ambulance to Allen Hospital in Waterloo.

Assisting the Iowa State Patrol were the Parkersburg Fire Department and the Butler County Sheriff’s Office.

EPA warning: Recharging air conditioners with wrong refrigerant poses injury and fire risks The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is cautioning homeowners, manufacturers of propane-based refrigerants, home improvement contractors and air conditioning technicians of the safety hazards related to the use of propane in existing motor vehicle and home air conditioning systems. Using a propane-based refrigerant in an air conditioner that is not designed to use propane or flammable refrigerants poses a threat to homeowners as well as service technicians, because systems that are recharged with an unapproved alternative called “22a” can catch fire or explode, resulting in injury and property damage. EPA continues to investigate instances where propane-based refrigerants have been illegally marketed and used as substitutes for HCFC-22 (R22) and will continue to take enforcement actions where appropriate.

“Using an unapproved, flammable refrigerant in a system that wasn’t designed to address flammability can lead to serious consequences, including explosion or injury in the worst cases,” said Janet McCabe, acting assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation. “As the summer cooling season gets started, we want to make sure consumers and equipment owners know what is going into their system is safe.”

A number of refrigerants with “22a” or “R-22a” in the name contain highly flammable hydrocarbons, such as propane, and are being marketed to consumers and contractors seeking to recharge existing home and motor vehicle air conditioning systems that were not designed to use propane or other flammable refrigerants. As a result, EPA recently proposed that 22a and other highly flammable refrigerants are unacceptable for use in existing central air-conditioning systems because they pose significantly more risk to public health or the environment than acceptable substitutes.

Wildfire haze over Iowa dissipates WINDSOR HEIGHTS – Fine particulate (PM2.5) levels fell across Iowa Monday, May 9. Yesterday, a plume of smoke originating from Canada wildfires passed southward through the state resulting in unusually high fine particulate levels in Iowa.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 24-hour health threshold for PM2.5 is 35 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3). Exceedances of this threshold were recorded at several monitoring sites in Iowa on Saturday.

Daily average PM2.5 concentrations on Saturday in Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, Viking Lake, Lake Sugema, Des Moines, and Emmetsburg were 37.2, 37.6, 40.0, 47.4, 50.7, and 61.0 µg/m3 respectively.

EPA uses a simple color scale to further categorize air quality. Daily average concentrations between 35.5 and 55.4 µg/m3 fall into EPA’s Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (orange) category.

When air quality is in the orange range,

asthmatics, individuals with heart or lung disease, as well as the elderly and children may experience adverse health effects. Concentrations between 55.5 and 150.4 µg/ m3 fall into EPA’s Unhealthy (red) category. When air quality is in the red range, everyone may experience adverse health effects. More information about EPA’s air quality index (AQI) is available at: http://www. epa.gov/pm/2012/decfsstandards.pdf.

To generate PM2.5 maps in real time, when data for the entire day is not yet available, EPA uses a surrogate for the 24-hour average concentration, called the NowCast.

Although there was lingering smoke aloft over Northeast Iowa Monday, it was not likely to be mixing toward the surface. As of 11 a.m. Monday, hourly PM2.5 levels across the state had fallen, and air quality was expected to be in the good (green) or moderate (yellow) category for the remainder of the night.

Question: Did the recent Iowa Supreme Court decision involving the Warren County Board of Supervisors change the definition of an open meeting of a governmental body?

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: The denition of a meeting found in Iowa Code section 21.2(2) was the subject of a recent Iowa Supreme Court decision published March 18, 2016: Peg Hutchinson, Dan Johnson, Russ Nichols, Shawn Ripperger, Leigh Ann Swain, and Shelly Vander Tug vs. Douglas Schull, Steve Wilson, Dean Yordi, the Board of Supervisors for Warren County, Iowa, and Warren County, Iowa. To determine whether a meeting occurred as dened by Iowa Code, the Iowa Supreme Court questioned whether the three-member Board of Supervisors held a statutorily dened ‘meeting’ when an administrator communicated information and opinions from one supervisor to another.

According to Iowa Code section 21.2(2), a meeting is a: “…gathering in person or by electronic means, formal or informal, of a majority of the members of a governmental body where there is deliberation or action upon any matter within the scope of the governmental body’s policy-making duties. Meetings shall not include a gathering of members of a governmental body for purely ministerial or social purposes when there is no discussion of policy or no intent to avoid the purposes of this chapter.”

In the Warren County case, the three-member board of supervisors each met separately with the same county administrator to discuss a reorganization plan for county employees.

While each individual meeting did not create a quorum of the

elected supervisors, the county administrator communicated with each supervisor about the other supervisors’ opinions and how each would vote on this issue. The county administrator met individually with each of the supervisors several times to facilitate a compromise on how the reorganization would occur and which positions would be eliminated.

When the supervisors nally met in an open meeting, little discussion was needed for the Board to approve eliminating the positions of eleven county employees.

The Court questioned the meaning of the phrase “a gathering in person or by electronic means, formal or informal, of a majority of the members of a governmental body” when dening a meeting. The Court questioned whether “temporal proximity” between two of the three supervisors needed to exist in order to create a majority or quorum or whether the administrator, acting as a supervisor’s agent, was the legal equivalent of the presence of a second supervisor, creating a quorum.

In answering the question of whether the administrator can legally be another supervisor’s agent, the Court considered the common law of agency to resolve the ambiguity in the statue. The Court held support staff can function as an agent or proxy to a supervisor.

The Court struck down the district court opinion for not including agency principles in its legal analysis and remanded for reconsideration of the question with agency prin-

ciples in mind. The Court held that supervisors using agents to deliberate on their behalf is the legal equivalent of an inperson gathering of a majority of supervisors and extended the denition of a meeting for purposes of Iowa Code section 21.2(2) to include an in-person gathering attended by a majority of supervisors, including an agent or proxy for one or more supervisors.

The decision has raised numerous questions and differing opinions concerning what the impact of the ruling will be on governmental bodies, particularly on those with smaller memberships. To what extent could this decision stie the ability of staff to meet with board or council members to discuss projects or proposals outside formal open meetings? Could the decision impact the ability of a governmental body to work efciently and effectively?

In an effort to address questions and concerns about the impact of the Warren County decision, the Iowa Public Information Board is preparing to issue an advisory opinion on the issue. Anyone with comments or information on the subject is invited to contact IPIB staff at 515-725-1781 or email (ipib@iowa.gov).

Opinions, rulings, FAQs, monthly columns, and training documents are available on the IPIB website – www.ipib.iowa. gov. Questions for the IPIB can be posted on the website or by calling 515-725-1781.
