Storyteller, musician entertains at Allison Library reading program

Storyteller and musician Chad Elliott interacts with young readers at the Allison Public Library Summer Reading Program on Tuesday, June 7. Elliott told students about his career goals which changed, during college, from becoming a college art professor to musician when he bought a guitar at age 19. Elliott wrote, illustrated and composed music for an audio CD to go with the children’s book, “Wilderman’s Treetop Tales.” He spoke about the creative process and how inspiration can come from anyplace. He said he drew inspiration for the song “Deep Woods Jam” while taking the garbage out and hearing the music in someone’s car layered with the sounds of the outdoors. The moral? “Always take the garbage out,” Elliott said. Summer Reading programs ended on June 9, but the Allison Library will be accepting reading logs until July 15. The library had 66 children and 38 adults attend its Summer Reading Programs on June 7,8 and 9. “It was a very successful event and we encourage everyone to ‘Get On Your Mark, Get Set . . . READ!’” Library Director Patty Hummel said. (Tribune-Journal photo by Mira Schmitt-Cash)

Sharing memories of Pittsford No. 3 Mira Schmitt-Cash Editor

Stock, and Eva (Etzen) Arends, all of Dumont, were among visitors who attended an informal schoolhouse reunion of Pittsford No. 3, on Thursday, June 9.

When it was a school, Pittsford No. 3 was located two miles south of Aredale.

Now, as the Little Yellow Schoolhouse, it stands at the northwest corner of the Butler County Courthouse block in Allison.

These visitors attended Pittsford No. 3 growing up. Arends helped spark the reunion, which was set up by Butler County Historical Society members Lavonne Edeker, Linda Cassman-Randall, Pam Dohrn and Thelma Wiegmann, member Ruth Haan said.

Members of the Historical Society coaxed memories out of the Pittsford No. 3 attendees and others from the Aredale and Dumont area.

Eva (Etzen) Arends had two brothers, Joe and Harvey, and all three attended the school, as well as George Rutter, whom the Etzen family adopted. Joe, the eldest, finished eighth grade at Pittsford No. 3. Harvey and Eva were sent to attend high school in Dumont when Pittsford No. 3 closed.

Butler County Fair opens June 21

By John Jensen Mid-America Publishing ALLISON — The 2016 Butler County Fair opens Tuesday, as local youth show off their 4-H exhibits and a variety of entertainment comes to the county for a six-day run.

Back this year are popular events such as the NAPA Night of Destruction (Wednesday), Chuckwagon Racing (Saturday) and Barnyard Battles (Sunday) as well as entertainment from Diamond Rio (Friday) and Hairball (Thursday).

At the heart of the fair, however, are the 4-H livestock and non-livestock shows. Holly Merritt, Butler County Extension’s Youth Coordinator, said she and the rest of the Extension staff is excited about this year’s event, particularly an event that had to be called off a year ago due to Iowa’s avian flu outbreak.

“One of the things we’re really excited about is that the poultry show is back this year,” she said.

It was just a month before last year’s Butler County Fair that state officials announced a ban on live bird shows in an effort to stop the spread of the disease. That did not give the county enough time to come up with an alternative show for exhibitors who had planned to show poultry.

“We encouraged kids to do static exhibits, which is a non-livestock exhibit, in either the animal or vet science classes … understanding that it’s disappointed for those exhibitors,” Merritt said. “They’re excited that the poultry show is back and it’s looking like numbers will be good for that.”

The poultry show is not the only area where numbers look good. Merritt said livestock numbers look about the same as last year and seem to be

spread across a variety of shows. New this year are both a costume class and a Butler County-bred class in the rabbit show.

“The costume contest I think is going to be kind of popular, especially with some of the younger exhibitors,” Merritt said. “The bred and owned, we have a couple of families here in Butler County who do that and they’re excited to be able to be recognized in that way.”

The first 4-H exhibits to hit the fairgrounds do not involve livestock at all.

Non-livestock exhibits will be judged Tuesday morning and early afternoon, with 4-H posters judged after that.

The first animal show on tap comes Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. as horse exhibitors participate in the annual games competition with events such as barrel racing and pole bending.

Other 4-H shows include the traditional horse show Wednesday, the

swine and dairy/dairy goat shows Thursday, the beef and pet shows Friday and the rabbit and poultry shows Saturday.

Another exciting event, Merritt said, is a conservation trailer that the Extension teamed up with the Fair Board to bring to the fair Saturday during Family Day. “That’s something we’re really excited to be able to bring and families can go through and learn about conservation,” Merritt said. “That’s a great resource.”

She added that the Butler County Lego Lizards Club (First Lego League) will also have a demonstration Saturday morning at 10 a.m.

“Kids who might be interested in that are welcome to come out and talk to members of that Lego Lizards Club and kind of see what they do,” she said.

Flint Hills Resources to expand on-site corn storage

AMES — Flint Hills Resources is adding nearly 5 million bushels of corn storage at its Shell Rock ethanol plant, the company announced June 7.

The new ground piles will more than double the Shell Rock plant’s capacity, adding 2.4 million bushels to the current 2 million bushels of storage. The pile is expected to begin receiving corn in early October, in time for harvest.

The ground pile will also have a dedicated receiving pit, increasing the plant’s unloading capability at harvest, which will shorten wait times.

Flint Hills Resources is investing close to $7 million in storage expansion projects in Shell Rock and in Arthur.

7 Places Mosquitoes Might Be Hiding in Your Yard

S

Family Features pring has sprung, which means that mosquito season is almost here. These tiny insects could be living, flying and breeding right in your yard, and you might not even know it.

Mosquitoes aren’t just a nuisance, they are also a health threat. Some species common in the United States can carry and spread Zika virus, Chikungunya virus, West Nile virus and canine heart worm. The first sign of mosquito activity is usually buzzing from female mosquitoes and their bites.

DIY Drain Tips and Hacks

W

Family Features hen it comes to fixing household clogs, don’t be afraid to do it yourself. With proper maintenance and the right products and tools on hand, you can skip the plumber and keep your drains running smoothly at their maximum capacity.

From hair-ridden showers to food-filled kitchen sinks, these tips will help conquer even the most demanding and difficult drainage issues.

Tough hair clogs got you harried?

Hair is the main culprit in most bathroom clogs. If you or a household member has long hair, you are likely to have a greater amount of it in your drains. For hair-clogged drains, pour an entire bottle of a product specially formulated to break down hair clogs. Let the gel work for 15 minutes then run hot water for a few minutes to rinse away any remaining gel and lingering strands.

How about a drain check?

If possible, transfer water that won’t drain and any lingering dregs in the sink basin into a bucket. Carefully remove stoppers and strainers from your drain. If you’re removing screws, make sure to keep a close watch so they don’t fall down the drain. If you need to remove stopper parts from under the sink, keep a bucket underneath the pipes. Remove all of the ghastly gunk and goo from stoppers and strainers. Run water to flush down remaining material and test the flow.

Plunge right in

Avoid over-flushing your toilet to prevent flooding the bowl and your bathroom floor. The best tool to unclog a toilet is a plunger with a flange, which is a smaller opening on the bottom of the plunger that resembles a cup. The flange fits perfectly into the toilet bowl drain to give your thrusts more power. Place the plunger into the toilet drain straight and vertical.

Create a tight seal with the drain, with the plunger fully submerged in water. Plunge gently at first, then vigorously, in an up and down motion. With a stubborn clog, don’t be shy; add some strength to your thrusts. If the clog remains, or the toilet still isn’t flushing properly, you may need additional support. A drain snake can help break up the clog or a closet auger can help remove larger clogs or foreign objects, such as flushed toys.

Keep clogs from coming back

Even if you have short hair or your drains aren’t currently clogged, it’s a good idea to do a little maintenance to prevent future problems. Products, such as Liquid-Plumr Maintenance, are designed to help keep pipes clear and clean, prevent new clogs and keep them smelling fresh.

Where Mosquitoes Breed

Female mosquitoes can lay as many as 100 eggs at a time. They can lay eggs in just a few inches of standing water, making pinpointing breeding sites a challenge. To help homeowners, Orkin Entomologist Ron Harrison, Ph.D., reveals seven places mosquitoes like the most and offers advice on how to help keep them out of your yard.

• Gutters. If enough debris is left to collect over time, dirty gutters can clog up and create pockets of water perfect for mosquito breeding. Cleaning gutters regularly to make sure water is flowing smoothly can help keep mosquitoes

from breeding so close to your home.

• Toys. They are an often overlooked source of standing water, but toys can collect pockets of water and just a few inches is enough for a mosquito to raise a family.

• Flower pots. Rainwater can collect in saucers under flower pots. If left to sit for days, the water becomes an excellent breeding spot for mosquitoes.

• Bird baths. Even though birds eat a variety of insects, standing water in bird baths left unchecked for days at a time can become an oasis for female mos-

quitoes looking for a place to lay eggs.

Inspect and change the water weekly to avoid an infestation.

• Rain barrels. If water is used within a few days, it will likely not be enough time to create a mosquito problem, but if water is left standing for multiple days, be prepared to find a hotbed of hungry pests.

• Plants. Some plants can hold water in their “mouths” and offer mosquitoes enough standing water to lay their eggs.

Other shrubbery can serve as a hide-out for grown mosquitoes. In addition to

blood, mosquitoes feed on nectar from flowers, so they often hide in shrubbery during the day. Thinning dense shrubbery to increase air flow can help reduce the number of adult mosquitoes in your yard.

• Tree cavities. Each year, cavities in tree stumps and trunks are filled with water by rainfall or melting ice and snow, and mosquitoes may choose these holes for breeding. While it can be difficult to remove the standing water, a licensed professional can help identify and treat these areas.

• Low points in the yard. Any areas lower than the rest of your yard may collect and hold standing water. Make note of these areas when patrolling and be sure to inspect and drain them if necessary.

Take Back Your Yard It’s important to do a weekly inspection of your entire yard to locate and eliminate any standing water. It’s also a good idea to encourage your neighbors to do the same so that mosquitoes aren’t traveling from their yard to yours.

If you’ve done everything you can to help prevent mosquitoes and are still having problems, you may need a licensed professional. For more details, visit Orkin.com.

Dispelling Myths About Natural Stone

N

vented by taking simple measures.

Always use a cutting board when preparing food on natural stone countertops, especially with acidic foods such as tomato sauce or lemons. Consider using coasters and trivets under glasses and hot pans. Clean up spills as quickly as possible. Do not use harsh cleaning products on natural stone – instead, choose a gentle cleanser and a soft cloth.

Family Features atural stone is one of the most beautiful materials available for residential and commercial design. Each piece is unique and can fit effortlessly into a variety of decors, making it a top choice for consumers and designers. While natural stone is a popular material, there are several myths surrounding its use that cause homeowners to question its practicality.

Myth: Natural Stone Goes Out of Style

Myth: Natural Stone Stains Easily

Staining is a big concern for many homeowners considering natural stone.

A common misconception is that common products like red wine, cosmetics or coffee will stain natural stone countertops beyond repair. While staining can occur on any light colored material, including some lighter stones, Carl Vona Jr., president of Paramount Stone in Stamford, Connecticut, says that most stains are treatable.

“We can always troubleshoot the problem,” he said. “If you know the origin of the stain, you can care for it.”

Jennifer M. Foresman, owner of Madison & Wells Design in Atlanta, Georgia, recommends being mindful of material choice if stains are a concern.

“If a client wants white marble for their bathrooms, I would recommend using it in the master bath rather than a child’s bathroom,” Foresman said. “White granite would be a beautiful option for a child’s bathroom – it gives a similar look but is more stain resistant.”

tors, including availability and demand.

“Prices vary depending on the movement of the slab and the color,” said Susan Thiel, founder of Susan Thiel Design in Los Angeles. “Sometimes we find that natural stone is less expensive than manmade materials.”

Myth: Natural Stone is Expensive

Myth: Natural Stone is Delicate and Requires Maintenance

Natural stone is often found in highend projects, but that doesn’t mean it is out of reach for more modest budgets.

For instance, the cost of natural stone countertops depends on a variety of fac-

Softer stones, such as marble or limestone, can be susceptible to etching or scratching. However, this can be pre-

While particular colors and finishes may come in and out of fashion, natural stone is a timeless, classic material.

“You can’t go wrong,” Thiel said.

“Natural stone is beautiful and durable.”

Natural stone also adds a level of romance not found in any other product.

“It offers a sense of history, nature or drama to a space while always feeling authentic,” Foresman said. “Stone also brings depth and texture to a space that is hard to replicate. It’s been used for centuries as a building material; while it can change in appearance over time, most styles age very gracefully.”

Other than the unpredictable winter weather here in Iowa there are several other factors that play a part in driving these beautiful birds out of the state for

from 1-4 p.m. on June 25. During this time, there will be stations on the air transmitting to other people all over the world, an information table with lots of great information about radio and even a kid’s activity for them to learn more about Morse Code.

Communication is a essential part of our lives these days. Many of us have cell phones and some of them are smarter than we want them to be. We expect people to pick up or text back right away. What would we do if the towers just stopped working or the power went out? How could we communicate without telephones or computers?

There are a group of people in the area that are planning for just that contingency. Iowa Wireless Amateur Radio Network (IWARN) is a group of amateur radio operators or “hams” from Butler, Franklin, Hardin, Grundy, Marshall and Tama Counties (http:// www.iowawarn.net/). The group meets

the first Thursday of the month at the Grundy Center Hospital to plan for emergency communications and to talk to people with the same hobby. We come for all walks of life and have different skills to bring to the group.

Ham radio is a hobby to many people all over the world. In 1912, the United States government started licensing individuals to use select radio waves for communication. There are three levels of license which allow hams to communicate at different radio frequencies called technician, general and extra. To use a ham radio frequency in the United States, you must be licensed by the FCC. If you are interested in getting a license you can talk with the members of the group or visit www.arrl.org for more information.

Please forward any questions to Jennifer Strohbehn, KEØBIT, the public information officer for IWARN at ke0bit@arrl.net.

The Millennial’s’ Distopian Utopia Tourism grows the economy and improves quality of life Summer is here, and it’s time to enjoy all that Iowa has to offer.

Our great quality of life is bolstered by the arts, culture and recreation.

These opportunities and amenities are important to local communities.

They attract families and young professionals to make Iowa their home, create jobs, draw business investment and boost tourism.

Travel and tourism have a huge impact in Iowa, with spending growing faster than the national average in recent years. In 2014, travelers spent more than $8 billion and supported 66,500 Iowa jobs.

• The Legislature’s investments this year should help continue that trend, while providing great things to do, see and learn. We’re preserving and enhancing Iowa’s history, culture, arts and recreation with: • $16 million for Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) (HF 2454). Iowa’s popular REAP program nurtures the state’s natural and cultural resources. Since 1989, the program has provided millions to projects in our local counties, including $2,296,121 in Butler; $1,040,573 in Franklin; and $3,445,096 in Cerro Gordo. Find out about projects made possible with this money at www.iowadnr.gov/Conservation/REAP. • Improved Historic Preservation Tax Credits (HF 2443), which help rehabilitate historic buildings and revitalize communities big and small throughout the state. Learn more at

www.iowaculture.gov/history/preservation/tax-incentives/state-tax-credit.

• A new initiative to enhance Iowa’s economic development, create recreational and cultural opportunities, and improve natural resources (SF 2308). Iowa communities will have more chances to bring in events with regional and national appeal, such as NCAA sports, U.S. Olympic Trials, professional golf tournaments, NASCAR and Special Olympics.

• Improvements to Iowa parks, fairs, trails, waterways, and unique local attractions and events that make our state a great place to live, work and play (SF 2324, HF 2454).

I’ll never forget when our oldest son came home from college and declared the welfare state to be legitimate because “we” voted for it. I can’t think of a better illustration of “democratic socialism.”

No founding father ever had a good thing to say about democracy. They intended to design a republic, not a democracy.

The candidacy of Bernie Sanders presents an opportunity to examine democratic socialism. It is extremely important because vast quantities of millennials (not all of them) are belching forth from schools with the same ideas that Hans formed while at UNI. They flock to Bernie events like Beatles concerts. When you get old, time goes faster. It allows you to see trends more clearly. The trend is toward the worship of government as the provider of all things and away from self-sufficiency.

I was listening to a conservative talk show the other day and this person was so befuddled that Bernie (Sanders) called himself a democratic socialist. He believed democracy is the opposite of socialism. This is the kind of numbskullery that enables people like Bernie to garner such a fervent following. People, like this talk show host, don’t recognize that nation building, space exploration, or medical research are every bit as socialistic as an unwed mother on welfare. But if this radio celebrity had denounced democracy as the fuel that drove socialism,

The Alternative Fritz Groszkruger 4selfgovernment@gmail.com www.alternativebyfritz.com he would also have to denounce his own preferred transfers of wealth by saying, “We voted for it.”

Venezuela voted for it, and it is incredibly timely that Bernie is pushing for the same system here. The fact overlooked most often by promoters of socialism is that, while youthful idealism might inspire us to work to promote the common good for a while, the need for food and shelter enter the picture soon and cause a change of heart. All this free stuff has to come from somewhere.

Hugo Chavez, after being democratically elected in Venezuela, expropriated 1,200 farms and companies in an effort to fund his benevolent programs, even giving away houses. If you wanted to start or expand a business, with the ever-present threat that the government could seize it for the common good, would you?

On an interview show on public radio (Fresh Air with Terry Gross) the subject of the Venezuelan catastrophe was repeatedly referred to as being caused by falling oil prices. The New York Times reporter interviewed, who lives in Caracas, glossed over the fact that the entrepreneurial climate in Venezuela had been destroyed by

The Clover Connection Butler County Bulletin Nancy Jensen Butler County Program Coordinator nejensen@iastate.edu

Lessons learned Last week’s column may have left readers wondering what the “decision” was. While I am no longer a member of the Butler County 4-H & Youth Committee, I did spend over 20 years as a member and I know ANY decision made is thoroughly discussed. I also know ANY decision made is made with the 4-H’er in mind.

After much discussion the final decision was to let members show with these stipulations: 1) Pay a pretty hefty entry fee for each entry 2) The late entry cannot be first or second in the class Holly began making the many necessary phone calls and we figured everyone would be good with the decision. Not so much!!!!

I had a morning meeting to attend and came back to learn some people were upset when they learned their “late” entry couldn’t win. The entry fee didn’t seem to bother most people; not winning did. Seriously?

I truly do not understand this. Last time I heard 4-H was about learning new things, having fun, building relationships and acquiring life skills.

How did winning become more important than learning?

Sometimes I wish we could go back to the “good old days” when 4-H was fun. I don’t remember getting trophies at fair, just ribbons; the stands were full of families supporting one another; the special feed we gave our show cows was beet pulp molasses; and we were asked (by the judge!) to come back for showmanship. Why has this all changed?

I will back up any decision made by the 4-H and Youth Committee and I have the upmost respect for the decisions that group has to make. That is not a paid position and they volunteer a huge amount of time to our 4-H program. Are their decisions always popular? Certainly not. Are all the decisions the President, Congress or the Governor make always popular? Certainly not! But they evaluate, try and re-evaluate policies to try and make them the best for the members.

I would love to have a fair where people got along, the weather was perfect and everyone was a winner!

(Well, in my book every 4-H’er is a winner!) But sometimes life gets in the way and things just don’t go the way we want them to. Seems like that is an excellent way to acquire a life skill called responsibility!

See you at the fair!

About Letters to the Editor

The Tribune-Journal and Star welcome letters to the editor from our readers, within these guidelines: • Priority will be given to letters that deliver original, sincere personal views and are fit to print.

• No bullying. Please refrain from attacking the credibility of those within our circulation area without documentation or justification. (Speech at open sessions may be documented, as may the votes of elected officials, as may threats to an individual’s safety — though

law enforcement is best equipped to handle the last.)

• Writers may be asked to edit their own letters if longer than 300 words or if deemed in poor taste.

• 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.

• The frequency of letters from any one individual is limited to one letter a month and one rebuttal.

socialism. It was interesting to hear a resident of Caracas give first- hand accounts of the long lines, empty shelves, and hunger, but never relate it to Venezuela’s “business friendliness” ranking by the World Bank as 186th out of 189. Apparently his paycheck from New York City sets him apart from the victims of socialism in Caracas.

I implore any millennials who might read this to consider the consequences of a democratic socialist system. Also, conservatives should consider the benefits of privately run and funded businesses they have traditionally accepted as things that needed to be done by government; such as the nation building, space exploration, and medical research mentioned above.

Thomas Jefferson said government will inevitably grow. I now see that the federalist idea is what was intended as

a way to impede socialism. But starting with Lincoln’s war, then Johnson’s Great Society and Civil Rights Act, our property is no longer ours to use as we see fit. States as well, have no ability to compete, or should I say they only compete through subsidies and tax breaks (plainly more socialism).

So the democracy we now suffer under is still offered as a solution to the problems created by democracy. The vote, as a means to circumvent limited government, worked in Venezuela and it will work here if we let it. Venezuela has the highest murder rate in the world.

I wish these millennial democratic socialists could have their own state where productive people like Hans (who soon saw the light) could move elsewhere. The socialists could remain and put up a billboard saying, “Welcome to the Distopian Utopia.”

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

Final action With the arrival of June, it means that warmer weather and summer is here.Our free time will soon be filled with county fairs, cook outs, parades, and more time with family.I know that I’m looking forward to this summer!

Recently, Governor Branstad completed action on the 2016 session by signing the final bills from this year.

In this week’s newsletter, I’ll highlight a few of the good things that we accomplished this session that were signed into law: Budget The Governor issued no vetoes and signed off on the budget in full.This year’s budget continues the practices of spending less than the state collects and not using one-time money to pay for ongoing needs.This is the sixth year in a row that the legislature has abided by these common sense measures.The budget is responsible and makes investments in Iowans’ priorities like education, public safety, and health care.

Medicaid Modernization Oversight The Governor also approved our plan to provide oversight to the state’s new Medicaid Modernization program.This session, the legislature passed comprehensive oversight measures that will provide legislators and the public with unprecedented levels of data on the state’s Medicaid program.Some of this information has never before been available or tracked.With this data in hand, we’ll be able to ensure that patient health outcomes improve, cost savings are realized, and waste and abuse are minimized.

Each Letter to the Editor must include: • Writer’s full name with signature. (Photo of signature is OK on an email.)

• Writer’s complete address, for verification.

• Writer’s telephone number, for verification.

Information given for verification, outside the body of the letter, will not be printed. If the writer wishes for someone to be contacted, include it in the body of the letter.

Early Literacy Initiative House File 2412 ensures that parents receive updates and are notified regularly on their student’s progress in reading more than once a year.The bill also clarifies that reading proficiency at the end of third grade is not based on a single test score when determining retention.

Right-to-Assistance House File 493 is aimed at protecting victims of domestic abuse by ensuring that residents, tenants, and landlords can request emergency assistance without being penalized or fined by government entities.The bill also prohibits an owner or landlord from restricting a resident’s right to summon law enforcement assistance on behalf of a victim of abuse, a victim of a crime or an individual in an emergency.

These bills are just a handful of some of the good public policy that the Governor signed after session adjourned.Earlier in the session the Governor signed many good bills like setting funding for education and providing certainty to Iowa taxpayers by coupling with the federal tax code and Section 179 depreciation.I believe that we left Iowa in a better position as a result of this past legislative session.

As always, please keep in touch, and be sure to wave in the parades!I look forward to traveling the district and much of the state visiting with Iowans over the coming months.If you would like to touch base in the meantime, you can reach me at linda. upmeyer@legis.iowa.gov or 515281-3521.

Walter ‘Walt’ Muller

Walter “Walt” Laverne Muller, 86, of Clarksville, was born the son of John H.A. and Etta (Bruns) Muller on September 11, 1929, in rural Dumont. He was baptized and confirmed at the Dumont Reformed Church. Walt attended school in Dumont.

On June 9, 1950, Walter was united in marriage with Harriet Lucille Hearn at the Dumont Reformed Church. After their marriage, they lived in the country by Dumont where Walt farmed.

In 1960, Walt and Harriet moved to their current home in Clarksville. Walt continued to farm until 1982. He also worked at Hydrotile in Nashua and retired in 1990, after working there for 28 years. Walt also delivered motor homes.

Walt and Harriet wintered in Texas for 20 years.

Walt was a member of the Dumont Reformed Church. In 1960, he transferred his membership to the Immanuel United Church of Christ in Clarksville where he served on the church council. Walt liked antique tractors, flea markets, fishing, auctions and collecting brass bells. Walt enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Walter died Friday, June 3, 2016, at his home of natural causes. He is preceded in death by a son, Danny Muller, in 1982; his parents; one brother, Johnny Muller; and one sister, Esther Unruh.

Walter is survived by his wife of almost 66 years, Harriet; two daughters, Deb Muller, of Clarksville; Julie (Bill) Klingenborg, of Bristow; one daughter-inlaw, Linda (Dan) Brammer, of Hampton; eight grandchildren: Jeff Muller, Kelly Muller, Lisa (Brett) Steere, Jeremy (Jean) Stauffer, Andrea (Shaune) Anders, Billy (Andrea) Klingenborg, Jason (Stephanie) Klingenborg and Amy (Matt) Wubbena; 16 great-grandchildren; one brother, E.J. Muller, of Ackley; two sisters, LaVon (Roland) Endelman, of Charles City; and Tillie Geiken, of Ackley; one sister-in-law, Viola Muller, of Dumont; and many nieces and nephews.

Funeral services were held at 10:30 a.m., on Tuesday, June 7, at Immanuel United Church of Christ in Clarksville with Pastor Linda Myren officiating. Organist was Sharon Leerhoff and she accompanied the congregation as they sang “In The Garden,” “How Great Thou Art,” and “Jesus Loves Me.” Interment was at Lynwood Cemetery in Clarksville with Brett Steere, Billy Klingenborg, Jeremy Stauffer, Jason Klingenborg, Shaune Anders and Matt Wubbena serving as casketbearers. Honorary casketbearers were Jeff Muller, Lavern Becker, John Bitter and Joe Schneider.

Visitation was held from 5 to 7 p.m., on Monday, June 6, at the RedmanSchwartz Funeral Home in Clarksville and one hour before services at the church.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the Cedar Valley Hospice or Immanuel United Church of Christ in Clarksville. The Redman-Schwartz Funeral Home in Clarksville was in charge of arrangements. Online condolences may be left at www.redman-schwartz.com.

Public Notice

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.

Marie “Lisa” Peak On Tuesday, September 7, 1976, Marie “Lisa” Peak was found lying face down in a ditch in rural Bremer County. The 19-year-old Wartburg College sophomore had been sexually assaulted and, according to autopsy findings, died of suffocation and a broken neck. None of Peak’s clothing was found at the scene. Her body was located beside a gravel road a quarter mile north of Waverly’s city limits.

Peak was majoring in journalism at Wartburg College in Waverly and had returned to the campus for a new school year on September 5.

Friends last saw Peak the next afternoon when Peak said she was going shopping at the Willow Lawn Shopping Center in Waverly. When she didn’t return to her dorm, the friends reported her missing.

Earlier in the year, Peak had provided information to authorities regarding a sensational sex and extortion scheme. The information led to the arrest of Mason City used car salesman John Joseph Carmody, Jr. Carmody had blackmailed more than a dozen women into having sex with him, using threats of mafia retaliation if they refused.

Peak had spent her May term working as a reporter for the Clarksville Star. She and Iowa writer Chuck Offenburger had planned to write a book about the blackmail scheme, and on

August 23 had written Carmody of their plans.

The week before Peak’s murder, Offenburger received a letter from Ted Enabnit – a Mason City attorney who represented Carmody in the court proceedings – stating “Mr. Carmody and his professional writer associates are and will produce the appropriate literary work to tell Mr. Carmody’s story from the mass of accumulated materials.” Offenburger said Peak had received threats after Carmody’s imprisonment from women who said they loved Carmody and wanted to marry him.

Many wondered if Peak’s murder might be connected to two other Waverly homicides.

Julie Ann Benning of rural Clarksville disappeared the day after Thanksgiving in 1975; the 18-year-old’s nude and decomposed body was found the following March in a roadside ditch just six miles from where Peak’s body would later be dumped. A third unsolved murder occurred five years earlier when the partially clad body of Valerie Lynn Klossowsky, 14, was found south of Waverly. Both Benning and Klossowsky had been strangled.

On May 7, 2010, state and Bremer County officials exhumed Lisa Peak’s body with hopes of discovering new DNA evidence. They found that Peak’s coffin was too broken down and her body too deteriorated to preserve her killer’s DNA.

Marie “Lisa” Peak | Age: 19 | Died: September 7, 1976 Location: Waverly Find out more about this and other unsolved homicides at www.IowaColdCases.org.

If you have any information about Lisa Peak’s unsolved murder please contact Special Agent Jon Moeller at the Federal Bureau of Investigation at (712) 258-1920, or contact the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation at (515) 725-6010 or email dciinfo@dps.state.ia.us.

f the surge in barbecue and smoking competitions across the country is any indication, grilling has become an art form. This Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, grab dad and gather around the grill or try a new technique thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rising in popularity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; smoking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to create a masterpiece meal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and plenty of memories â&#x20AC;&#x201C; together.

From secret marinades to tricked out grills and smokers, competitive smokers know there is a near ritualistic approach to teasing the perfect flavor out of a premium cut of meat. Follow in the footsteps of those pit masters and smoke like a pro with these tips from Omaha Steaks Executive Chef Karl Marsh.

Start with style The first step is deciding how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to prepare your meat. Consider stepping up your game by smoking your meat. Smoking is a popular choice because it infuses flavor throughout the meat, while extended cook times at low temperatures make it extra tender. Another advantage is the chance to create a wide range of unique flavors using wet and dry rubs, as well as seasoned wood chips and planks.

Choose your cut Virtually any meat can be smoked, but the most popular cuts of meat to smoke are brisket, ribs, pork shoulder or turkey, all of which are typically large in size. Guarantee a great experience with Omaha Steaks Brisket for smoking or Whole Pork Butt, which were created with the competitive barbecue and smoking circuit in mind.

Ready your rub Rubs are often used to add flavors and surface texture to a cut of meat. For best results, brush meat with cooking oil or another liquid ingredient (such as yellow mustard) before adding the rub. Rinse bristket with vinegar, then Spread the rub on a clean plate water. and place the meat on it. Coat both sides with the rub by gently pressing the meat on the plate.

Set up the smoker Some pit masters consider their equipment as vital an ingredient as the meat or flavorings they choose.

Preparation varies from one recipe to the next, but one constant Dry meat and prepare rub. is the importance of maintaining a steady temperature. As you prepare your charcoal, be conscious of where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll place any wood chips or other flavor enhancers for maximum impact.

Slow and steady Sensational flavor takes time to build, so plan to dedicate several Coat meat generously with rub. hours to your task. Often, smoked foods require foil wrapping for at least a portion of the cook to retain moisture. Plan to check in at regular intervals to restock wood chips, flip or rotate meat and apply a fresh coat of seasoning or spices.

Bearcats blank Rockford

ALLISON – Taylor Graven was 2-for-2 with a walk offensively and got herself out of a couple of jams defensively to complete a 7-0 win over Rockford on Friday night.

Playing early, the Bearcats were able to finish shortly before severe weather hit the area and wiped out the baseball contest.

Graven struck out 13 Warrior batters, but had to work out of a bases-loaded jam in the third with one out. She also managed to prevent a run from scoring despite two runners in scoring position and no outs in the fourth.

She also got plenty of support from the top of the North Butler order as both Kayla Siemens and Marcy Jacobs hit 3-for-4, scoring two runs each. Jacobs also drove in a pair with a double while Siemens stole the only base for coach Jeff Stirling’s squad.

North Butler improved to 7-2, 6-0 Top of Iowa.

ALLISON – It wasn’t easy to pitch Monday, June 6 at the Allison softball diamond.

But North Butler’s Taylor Graven made it seem so in the gusty wind conditions, recording 12 strikeouts in an eventual 8-3 win over visiting NashuaPlainfield.

She got plenty of help from her battery mate Nicole Heeren, who belted three hits – one double – in a 12-hit

team performance against the Huskies.

“They were trying to crowd the plate on us,” North Butler coach Jeff Stirling said. “She (Graven) hit two batters and we couldn’t believe that, so she had to work on moving the ball around a little bit and she did a good job of throwing strikes.

“They hit the ball hard a couple of times, but our defense was solid for the most part, but in this wind it is tough to do anything – to get an 8-3 win is pretty good, you know? I’m pretty happy.”

Graven gave up five hits, including one home run, a line drive shot down the left field line for Huskies lead-off hitter Sierra Fisher, who was 3-for-4, but that wind also robbed both teams of home runs to center, including Graven herself, who was 2-for-4 with an RBI. “You were going to have to hit it down the line in left to get it out,” coach Stirling said. “That is what the one girl from Nashua-Plainfield did, but everything else, it probably cut a couple (home runs) down. I thought we had some real nice line drives, like the ones Nicole hit, she smoked them out there.

“We also had heads-up base running.

If they are not covering third, we take it on a pop-up in the infield. That scored us some runs. That’s huge.”

Heeren certainly adjusted with the wind, driving the ball low in going 3-for-4, also adding an RBI. “I’ve been working on my swing a lot in the off-season and trying to perfect it a little bit more,” Heeren said. “I started off a little rocky, so it’s good to finally see that it’s coming.”

And there were no walks issued by the Bearcats’ hurler, who was adjusting between innings as the game progressed.

“The wind was a big factor,” Heeren said, “but we kind of adjusted between innings to figure out what was working, what’s not between what batters and stuff.”

That win placed North Butler at 5-2 overall, 4-0 in the Top of Iowa Conference, which allowed the Bearcats to control their own destiny as far as the

Bearcats avenge loss to Turkey Valley

JACKSON JUNCTION – North Butler’s No. 14-ranked (Class 1A) softball team exacted revenge for a tournament loss the previous weekend against Turkey Valley, pounding the Trojans 13-0 in five innings on Thursday, June 9.

The Bearcats combined for 12 hits against the home team – two each by Nicole Heeren, Taylor Graven and Audrey Albrecht – en route to an early end of this non-conference tilt.

Heeren and Graven both homered, driving in four and two, respectively.

Graven also pitched another gem, striking out two while throwing a two-hit shutout and walking none.

Coach Jeff Stirling’s team improved to 6-2 overall following the win.

North Butler 13, Turkey Valley 0 (5) North Butler 208 12 - 8 12 Turkey Valley 000 00 - 0 2 Winning battery – Taylor Graven and Nicole Heeren. Losing pitcher – Emily Busta.

Spots filling up for Gotch tourney

“I’m OK with where we are,” Stirling said. “The loss against Charles City, I take that with a grain of salt. First game, we were kind of nervous. Saturday, we played in the Cresco tournament and were not real sharp in the first game.

We’ll get them again here later in the week.

“You know, 4-0 in the conference is pretty good for us, we haven’t played Central Springs yet, which is tough, or St. Ansgar, got rained out, but we have Rockford at the end of the week. If we are 6-0 at the end of the week, I’ll be real happy.”

He added that the conference race will be decided by Central Springs.

“I want us to compete with Central Springs,” said coach Stirling. “It will come down to Central Springs for all the marbles, probably, in the conference.”

After tallying single runs in the first

through third innings, the Bearcats used heads-up base running in the fifth with a four-run rally to put it away.

Heeren said she likes where the team is right now.

“I think we’re doing really good,” Heeren said. “We have a lot to improve on but we’re going to get better as a team and then keep on winning, hopefully.”

HUMBOLDT – A number of highlyregarded wrestlers and mixed martial artists from across the country – including a world champion – are set to compete in the Frank Gotch World Catch Championships on July 3 in Humboldt, hometown of Gotch.

The event is being held under the auspices of the Catch Wrestling Alliance (CWA) headquartered in Los Angeles.

The CWA has already played host to two major tournaments, but this is the first one that will have Gotch’s name attached.

“We are tremendously excited about this event and the way it is shaping up,” said Dr. Raul Ramirez, executive directr of the CWA and a catch wrestling instructor and practicioner. “Catch wrestling was the top form of wrestling in America in the early part of the 20th century, and Frank Gotch was its foremost star. He is the Babe Ruth or the Muhammad Ali of this sport.”

Ramirez said the tournament will include five weight classes with four contestants per weight class. There will also be one division for women, with no weight limit.

The event is being held at Humboldt High School beginning at 9:30 a.m. and is being co-sponsored by the Gotch Statue Committee and the Frank Gotch Wrestling Club, along with IAwrestle.

Admission is $6 for adults and $3 for kids age 10-18. (Kids age 10-and-under are admitted free).

Matches will be 20 minutes long and the primary way an athlete can win is with a joint-lock submission or a threesecond pin. If neither happens during the time limit, then the referee will pick the winner based on aggressiveness.

Kicking, hitting and choke holds are not allowed.

The top three place winners will receive a medal with Gotch’s image on it, attached to a ribbon. All participants will receive a certificate for framing.

Among the contestants signed up to date are Curran Jacobs, captain of the 2011 Michigan State University team; Nick Caggia, a 315-pounder who is called ‘Nick the Giant’; Travis Newaza, who won the heavyweight division of the West Coast King of Catch Wrestling tournament in San Diego; Adam DeHart of North Carolina (17-10 in MMA competition); Travis Wiff out of Rochester, Minn., a former all-American wrestler at both Mankato State and Rochester Junior College; Bruce Wilson of Waterloo, former state wrestling champion and a black belt in karate; and Ned and Christoper Morales, a father and son wrestling duo who train under Ramirez.

Headlining the women’s open division is Laura Anderson, a U.S. grappling champion who won a gold medal at the World Pankration Championships in Hungary in 2014. Also entered are Shayna Baszler, an MMA fighter and pro wrestler; and Wendy Minch, two-time NCAA All-American gymnast and catch wrestler.

“I am a huge Frank Gotch fan and this is going to be an incredible event for all of catch wrestling,” said Jacobs.

Roy Wood, coach and owner of the Snake Pit wrestling club in Wigan, England, will be an honored guest at the tournament and will put on a seminar the day before in Bicknell Park.

Scott Casber, founder of Takedown Wrestling Radio in Des Moines, will be the announcer for the event.

For more information, go to the CWA website, catchwrestlingalliance.com or call Ramirez at 310-930-6046.

We are going to learn how far that cricket could jump if it was the size of a human. After the Olympic events, we will have a chance to get up close and personal with the bug athletes and their super charged friends at the Bug Olympics display. It should be a fun time for the kids. We are going to keep in the Olympic spirit by watching the movie Cool Runnings after the program. We have some fun programs planned on mental health and teamwork in June and July.

production focus of Orchard area field day Field day set June 21

ORCHARD — Strawberry season has arrived in Iowa, and with it, customers eager to enjoy this early-summer delight. For Leroy Zimmerman, who operates a pick-your-own strawberry operation near Orchard, ensuring customers have a positive experience is central to his business philosophy – and his farming practices.

Leroy, along with his brother Daniel Zimmerman, who operates Stillwater Greenhouse, will host a Practical Farmers of Iowa field day on Tuesday, June 21, from 2-5 p.m., near Orchard, where they will share their experience growing strawberries, blueberries, vegetable starts – and more. The event, “Berries + Veggie Starts + Potted Flowers,” is free to attend and will include a snack of ice cream and strawberries.

RSVPs are requested for the refreshments. Please contact Lauren Zastrow, lauren@practicalfarmers. org or 515-232-5661, by Friday, June 17.

Leroy started raising strawberries at Log Cabin Produce in 2007. As he began this aspect of his business, he decided that customers and their needs should be the focal point. He explains this has influenced both management decisions – such as deciding to operate rain or shine – as well as some of his farming decisions.

“I wanted to zero in on pleasing customers, making sure they have the kind of experience where they want to come back,” Leroy says. “Thinking back to my younger days, picking strawberries from within the weeds was probably the worst thing. So I use plasticulture, which helps control weeds and produces larger berries.”

Log Cabin Produce is located at 3011 Mitchell Line St., about 8 miles east of Orchard.

The field day is sponsored by Healthy Harvest of North Iowa – and is one of more than 25 events Practical Farmers is hosting this summer and early fall.

Nearby events appear below.

Scammers who target unsuspecting elderly steal billions each year

By Anne Easker iowawatch.org On April 1, 2014, Karla Sibert answered her mother’s cell phone while her mother, Marlene Sibert, 79, was in surgery. On the other end of the line, a woman asked how the product Marlene had bought from Leading Health Source was working.

Karla Sibert, of Palo, Iowa, pretended to be her mother and asked what she had bought and how she had paid for it. She doesn’t recall the answer but after hanging up the phone she got out her mother’s credit card and called the number on the back. She learned that the card had $8,000 worth of charges.

“When she came out of the procedure, I asked her about it,” Sibert said.

“She said she had been ordering $500 worth of things to make her feel better.”

Within a few days of calls to all her mother’s credit card companies, Sibert found out her parents had been charged $44,000 over the last 20 months.

“My mother used to stay awake until 3 o’clock in the morning to balance her checkbook if she was a penny off,” Sibert said. “This was an eye-opener to me to realize something was going on with her.”

Each year, $36.48 billion are lost due to elder financial abuse in the United States, according to a 2015 report by True Link Financial, a California-based financial services firm that helps seniors and their families protect themselves from fraud, exploitation, and financial abuse.

The report also showed that 36.9 percent of seniors are affected by financial abuse in any five-year period.

While scams and frauds represent just one small section of elder financial abuse, which also includes exploitation by family, friends and caregivers, they affect a large portion of the population.

Putting a precise number on how many fraud cases occur each year is difficult but the AARP Fraud Watch Helpline reports taking nearly 20,000 calls since Jan. 1, 2015.

In Iowa, Insurance Commissioner Nick Gerhart told IowaWatch the Fraud Bureau of the Iowa Insurance Division had 700 referrals last year, and the Consumer Affairs Bureau had 7,000 inquiries. Some of these are simply complaints from consumers who are not happy with their insurance, but many are fraud cases.

“One thing we do know is that most fraud is unreported,” Gerhart said.

A New York State Elder Abuse Prevalence Study found that for each case of financial exploitation that reached authorities, 44 cases went unreported.

Iowa Assistant Attorney General Chantelle Smith said solid statistics on all forms of elder abuse are lacking in

Iowa and across the entire nation. The lack of data stems from a number of causes. Older adults often are ashamed of their abuse; there is no centralized place report it; and for most people, the problem is simply under their radar.

“In cases of child abuse, we pluck a child out immediately, but when it comes to an adult, we say, ‘are you sure?’” Smith said. “‘Are you sure he took your money, or did you misplace that check?’ We’re always looking for some explanation. We try to find excuses.”

Last October, Smith’s office was awarded one of nine three-year, $400,000 grants through the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) for a program called “Training and Services to End Abuse in Later Life.” Slightly more than half of the funding will be used for training law enforcement, judges, county prosecutors, victim service providers and professionals. The rest will go toward direct services for victims.

Financial exploitation can take place in many ways. Some of the most popular include the IRS scam, when someone calls claiming to be from the IRS and requiring immediate payment, or the IT scam, when someone claims a victim’s computer has a virus that needs to be cleared and directs them to a website which locks the victim out of the computer until payment has been made.

Gerhart said the schemes tend to come in cycles. The IRS scheme skyrockets around tax time while scams connected to Medicare and the Affordable Care Act pop up with greater frequency during open enrollment for healthcare. Scammers simply take advantage of any opportunity available to trick people.

Afterward, many elderly people avoid reporting fraud because of embarrassment, sources said. They may not want their family to question their ability to make wise decisions, and in some cases, they may not realize they’ve been victims until their savings are all but depleted.

In Sibert’s case, both her mother and father suffer from memory loss, though Sibert had no idea her mother had reached a point where she was incapable of making sound financial decisions. Leading Health Source preyed upon this vulnerability.

When taking inventory of all her mothers’ purchases, Sibert found the house full of health supplements in large boxes, stuffed into closets. Close to 90 bottles of a product called “Brain Power,” costing a total of $3,000, promised to restore Sibert’s father’s memory.

“The guy was very attentive to everything my mother would say,” Sibert said. “She always had dry eyes, so

COUNTY FAIR from page 1 Merritt, who is in her second year with the Butler County Extension, said she learned a lot about how the fair works last year while serving as an adult leader for the first time after being an exhibitor in northwest Iowa as a youth.

“I learned that it won’t always go as you planned, but it’ll happen and it will be good,” she said.

Merritt said being a leader allows her to share the great experience she had in 4-H with today’s youth.

“It was such a great experience for me that I love being able to give that experience to other kids,” she said. “It’s a great program, 4-H is, not just the fair but all-around, and I love being able to give those youth that opportunity to grow and develop and just have a good opportunity like 4-H.” A complete list of fair events is available online at www. butlercountyfair.org.

PITTSFORD No 3 from page 1 Sidmore, now 96, attended eight grades “at least” at Pittsford No. 3 and earned his diploma. His father farmed three-quarters-mile south of Aredale, on ground owned by the Colby family of Aredale. The decision was not to bus students from where he lived to Dumont. Neither did he see a need to attend high school in Aredale.

Sidmore took Dale Stock to Pittsford No. 3 on Stock’s first day of school.

Robert Miller attended school at the same time as Dale Stock. Robert’s son, Jerry Miller, was sitting in the southwest corner of the room behind Stock, at a desk where his father had carved his initials, R.M. Dale Stock was a first cousin to Robert, and lived a mile away. Jerry and his wife Helen Miller, who live in Holton, Michigan, were visiting Dale at the time of the reunion.

The Brocka family also attended the school, Stock said.

Stock, 90, a World War II veteran,

they sent her $2,500 of ‘Dry Eye.’ They would just label it themselves and put it on a bottle. I’m sure it’s not what they said it was. He just totally took advantage of her.”

The company managed to charge so much by telling Sibert’s mother her credit card didn’t work and asking for another after maxing out the first card.

Sibert eventually took her story to an AARP luncheon on elder fraud, where she was put in contact with the Iowa Attorney General’s office. The office’s Consumer Protection Division helped investigate and file suit against the Las Vegas-based company Leading Health Source. In the end, Sibert said she got back the $44,000, but only after “nine months of hell.”

Amy Nofziger, director of regional operations for the AARP Foundation, said protecting most elderly people from fraud is simply a matter of education. While the aging brain can make older adults more vulnerable, anyone can be a victim of fraud, no matter their age, if they don’t know what to look for, she said.

“Unless someone teaches you to cook, you don’t know how to cook,” Nofziger said. “Unless someone teaches you the red flags of fraud, you don’t know the red flags of fraud.”

Older adults also may be more available to scammers, being at home more often than younger people and more willing to answer the phone or open the door for strangers.

“They grew up in a different time, when business was done with a handshake,” Nofziger said.

Scammers take advantage of all these qualities and are smart and persistent, winning over victims with charm, or presenting deals that sound very convincing.

Martha-Jo Ennis, 83, a retired school teacher from Marion who was scammed by investment adviser Noah Aulwes, said Auwles was slick — clever and funny. He worked with the youth group at his church. He played piano.

“He was charming,” Ennis said. “I had no reason to suspect him.”

For Ennis, the trouble started when she received two cards in the mail to sign and return for more information— one on investment and one on Medicare. She meant to send in the Medicare card, but accidentally sent the investment card instead. A few weeks later, a man showed up at her door to talk about investment. She told him the card was a mistake but he wouldn’t leave.

Finally, she relented and let him look at her finances. When she asked a question as he was about to leave, he said she would need to have a meeting with his boss, Noah Auwles. Ennis called up her brother to have him join her,

thinking he would be a better judge of whether Auwles offered a good deal.

In the end, both Ennis and her brother were fooled by a high interest rate Auwles offered and never delivered. Ennis lost $1 million, including proceeds from the sale of her farm and retirement savings.

In 2014, Auwles was sentenced to up to 10 years in prison for defrauding numerous people, including Ennis, out of their life savings and ordered to pay more than $363,000 to his victims.

Auwles, 56 when sentenced, preyed on older retired people using his claims of Christianity to gain their trust, prosecutors said. From March 2007 through May 2010 he misappropriated about $200,000 of investors’ funds for his personal benefit and to make Ponzitype payments to other investors.

In the settlement, Ennis got a small amount of her money back but said she will never be in the place she was before it happened. Ennis used to tell her brother he couldn’t go through life believing everyone is a crook, but now she herself says, “don’t trust anybody.”

After receiving a recent call from a scammer claiming to be from the IRS, Ennis simply told the man, “Sir, you’ve got the wrong person. I work for the IRS.” Nick Gerhart, who helped start the Iowa Fraud Fighters campaign out of the Insurance Division, said he always stresses to elderly people that they don’t have to be Iowa nice.

“It’s okay to hang up on people,” he said. “The IRS is not going to call you asking for certain information. Medicare folks are not going to call you asking for your Social Security number.

They already have it.”

He also advises people to learn enough about savings and investment so they can ask questions and be on guard against suspicious schemes.

“A lot of the scams we’ve seen are folks who thought they were going to earn 8, 10 or 12 percent interest,” he said. “Well, that’s not realistic. If you have a deal that sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

Both Ennis’ and Sibert’s cases are rare in that they were able to get money back. Amy Nofziger said it’s unlikely that fraud victims will retrieve any of their money, especially if it is sent through untraceable funds such as wire transfer or prepaid debit or gift cards.

“When the money’s gone, the money’s gone,” Nofziger said.

was in the service and married with young children when the school was closed.

Stock’s father, Carl Stock, bought the closed Pittsford No. 3 school.

“He didn’t want to see it turned into a grain bin,” Stock said.

The school was sold to the Butler County Historical Society (President Ben Westendorf) in the 1950s and moved to the County Courthouse grounds in Allison.

Stock said the Historical Society has done a great restoration of the schoolhouse.

To draw out stories, Historical Society member Ruth Haan asked if any visitors remembered inspections by the superintendent, Mrs. Hazel Black.

When the county superintendent visited, Stock said the students had to behave well.

As Arlene Ayers, she taught in country school at Hamilton No. 1 in Franklin County. There, the superintendent was a Mr. Duringsfeld.

Also in attendance were Eleanor Freese, Dumont; Carol Aldinger, Dumont; Alicia Smith and Cassie Hutzell, both with the Dumont Wellness Center.

The students recalled their school day.

Some of the students would come in early and start the fire in the stove, Stock said. Usually they rang the bell by pulling on the rope that went through a trapdoor in the ceiling, over the entryway to the bell. Stock said at times students had to climb on another’s shoulders into the trapdoor to untangle the rope from around the bell.

Many older boys only attended school in the off-season from farming, Stock said.

Sometimes they would get into trouble.

The boys had to prepare the silage to feed the cows. “If they didn’t have it all done when dad got home, all hell broke loose,” Sidmore said.

“One time I was staying with you,” Stock said to Sidmore, “and you said, ‘Come on, Dale, cause Bob’s going to lick us all.’ “ Another time the children behaved badly, Sidmore recalled, was in stealing fudge when their parents were at a dance at the Odd Fellows hall in Dumont.

“Toward the evening, my mother always had fresh bread,” Sidmore said.

She picked up cream every other day and kept it in the cellar. “(We) would skim off the top then put sugar on it,” Sidmore said.

“Then they holler about cholesterol.”

By Mira Schmitt-Cash and John Jensen, MAP Allison’s farm-to-market road and State Highway 14 are slated to be replaced in budget year 2017, according to an Iowa Northland Regional Council of Governements (INRCOG) report.

The report lists projects throughout Butler, Grundy, Black Hawk, Bremer, Buchanan and Chickasaw counties that will be completed in the next few years.

Highway 14 is slated for pavement rehabilitation from Parkersburg north to the Floyd County line just north of Greene. The Iowa Department of Transportation is in charge of the $1.764 million project. Pavement rehab is also scheduled in the City of Allison in association with the IDOT project at an additional cost of $685,000, $548,000 of which will come from federal aid.

Affecting fitness enthusiasts, the Rolling Prairie Trail will be graded and paved in budget year 2017 in two locations. A span within Bristow, along railroad right-of-way from Elm Street to east city limits is to cost $141,000, of which $112,000 will come from federal aid. A Dumont segment of the trail from Montrose Avenue to Cedar Avenue is to cost $208,000, of which $166,000 will be federal funds.

In northern Butler County in budget 2018, Pearl Avenue bridge replacement is scheduled. The bridge spans Alry Creek, less than half a mile south of 180th Street (County Road C33/ Clarksville-Allison blacktop). The Butler County Roads Department project is estimated to cost $450,000, including federal aid of $360,000.

Looking further ahead, a trio of north-

ern Butler County projects are scheduled for fiscal 2019.

• A bridge replacement on Iowa Highway 3 over the West Fork of the Cedar River, less than a mile east of County Road T16 and Dumont, is scheduled for budget year 2019. The IDOT project is estimated to cost $5.73 million with $4.57 million from federal funds.

• In the Greene area, a bridge deck overlay is slated along Iowa Highway 14 ending at the Iowa Northern Railroad a mile north of County Road C13.

The IDOT project carries an estimated cost of $250,000.

• Pavement rehabilitation is scheduled on North First Street in Greene from north city limits southeast slightly under two-thirds of a mile to East Traer Street, at an estimated $1.18 million mainly funded by the City of Greene, to be offset by $600,000 federal aid.

In budget year 2020, the County Road T47 bridge over the Shell Rock River in the Packard area, half a mile north of C23 is scheduled for rehabilitation by Butler County Roads.

A SERIES of meetings on the upcoming plans will be held in Cedar Falls and Waterloo next week. Meeting times and dates are Tuesday, June 21 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Cedar Falls City Hall, 220 Clay Street, Wednesday, June 22 from noon to 1 p.m. at the INRCOG Office, 229 East Park Ave., Waterloo and Thursday, June 23 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 207 W.

Customers were represented by preschool children to seniors who had enjoyed several past omelet breakfasts. “Very good,” was a comment made by many customers as they departed the Omelet Breakfast. Profits from the breakfast will support local scholarships, KidSight Eye screening programs for all pre-school children and State Lions Foundation programs for the blind. Many thanks to all for supporting the Allison Lions Programs.

AMES – Tiffany Cassmann, of Bristow, was awarded the Marie and George H. Busch Memorial 4-H Scholarship through the Iowa 4-H Foundation at the recognition event Sunday, June 5 at Iowa State University in Ames.

Cassman is the daughter of Dennis and Merlette Cassman. She is majoring in biology with a pre-vet focus and minor in Spanish at Luther College.

After graduation, she wants to attend veterinary school at Iowa State University. She then wants to open a small veterinary clinic in her hometown for small, and possibly large, animals. In adulthood, she plans on giving back to local churches, 4-H and Girl Scouts.

She received $500 from the Marie and George H. Busch Memorial 4-H

Scholarship.

The Iowa 4-H Foundation has announced the recipients of over 70 Iowa 4-H college scholarships over 33 counties, valued at almost $70,000. Over 500 applications were submitted.

“4-H influenced my career goals by instilling in me the want to take care of animals as all the other 4-Hers took care of their animals,” Cassmann said.

“Although I was never allowed to take animals to the fair, I helped out at multiple livestock shows, and I admired the way that 4-H’ers took care of their animals, and I wanted to do the same.”

“Every year we are in awe of the ways these young people make their communities a better place,” said Albert Grunenwald, Iowa 4-H Foundation Executive Director. “We are thankful to

have donors who want to acknowledge the students’ hard work and invest in 4-H’ers who will continue to change the world regardless of where they go to school or what they study.”

The Marie and George H. Busch Memorial 4-H Scholarship is provided by the Busch family. The applicant must be a sophomore, junior or senior the next academic year and be a permanent resident of Butler or Bremer County. The recipient must attend an Iowa college or university and major in an agriculture field.

The Iowa 4-H Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides the private financial resources to develop and deliver quality 4-H youth programs throughout the state of Iowa. More information is at www. iowa4hfoundation.org.

Sign-up during fair for emergency notifications Butler County has a new emergency notification system called Alert Iowa.

This new notification system takes the place of CodeRed, which Butler County has used for the past several years.

“The nice thing about this system is that it’s free of charge,” said Mitch Nordmeyer, director of the Butler County Emergency Management Agency.

“CodeRed was fairly expensive to subscribe to, and this new system funded by the State Legislature will save our citizens a substantial amount of money (and) will do … more.”

User information stored in CodeRed did not carry over to Alert Iowa, so the community members will need to sign up for Alert Iowa if they have not.

The Butler County CERT Team will be at the Emergency Management booth during the fair and will assist citi-

zens wishing to sign up for these emergency alerts, he said.

Currently anyone who has a landline is signed up for notifications, but if they want their cellphones and emails included, they will need to access the sign-in page and update their information.

All that’s needed to sign up for Butler County Alert Iowa is a computer and Internet access. (These are available at the local library for those not connected at home.)

To sign up, visit http://entry.inspironlogistics.com/butler_ia/wens.cfm.

Alert Iowa will allow citizens to choose the means by which they receive alerts, be that landline, wireless phone, text messaging, email, FAX, TDD/TYY and/or social media.

Messages may contain photo, video and audio attachments to help subscrib-

ers better understand the situation at hand, or where to find additional information.

Citizens will be able to sign up to receive alerts in multiple counties. On successful signup, citizens will automatically receive all weather related warnings for the Butler County area and will have the option to receive law enforcement notifications and shelterin-place warnings. Enrollees will also have the option to receive local school district alerts by city.

“This new system will allow our citizens to receive more information than in the past, which will be a welcome addition,” Nordmeyer stated.

With questions, contact the Butler County Emergency Management Agency at 319-267-9968 or mnordmeyer@butlercoiowa.org.

raising and unity events in the future!

All three squads and coaches will be working together to increase morale, cheer and teamwork. Go Bearcats!

A big thanks goes to Pat Bouillon and Mike Lammers for helping with the fundraiser. Thank you also to Mr. Foster and NB School for letting us use the parking lot and water!

Cheerleaders who helped were:

Shayna Engelhardt, Addie Gibson, Kaitlyn Chisholm, Miranda Joebgen, MacKenzie Staudt, Annamarie Sutton, Morgan Ufford, Jasmine Wedeking, Sydney Slocum, Callie Niedert and Mckenzie Beam.

Cheer coaches are Kristi Lammers, football; Kim Marshall, baskeball and Kellie Bouillon, wrestling.

Iowa pheasant harvest highest since 2009, quail highest since 2007 Iowa’s estimated pheasant harvest continues its climb and for the fifth year in a row has been higher than the previous year. In 2015, more than 56,000 hunters harvested nearly 270,000 rooster pheasants in Iowa, which is an increased harvest of 24 percent over 2014 and the highest pheasant harvest since 2009.

Pheasant hunters were not the only ones who had better hunting, quail hunters enjoyed their best hunting since 2007.

Hunters harvested an estimated 28,400 quail in 2015, which was a 165 percent increase over 2014. The large increase in quail harvest was predicted by the August roadside survey which counted the highest number of quail in 21 years.

“We expected to see more pheasants and quail harvested based on the August roadside survey and our current trend of mild winters,” said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife research biologist for the Iowa Department of

Natural Resources.

Bogenschutz uses a population model that considers total winter snowfall, and spring rainfall and temperature data to estimate winter survival and nesting success, plus the annual August roadside survey that counts actual pheasants, quail, cottontail, jackrabbit and partridge staff see along the 218, 30 mile routes.

“We know, given certain snowfall and rainfall amounts, with a degree of certainty, how the upland populations are likely to react, based on 50 years of data. Given the mild winter and below normal rainfall, potential for upland birds looks good for the fall right now for the east central, southeast and south central regions. We had pheasant broods reported in early May in these regions which suggests a good nesting season.

“The western third had more rain and more snow so the potential looks less. Overall, our weather model is predicting a stable to increasing pheasant

population statewide for the fall 2016 hunting season,” he said.

“Anecdotally, staff and landowners have been reporting more roosters crowing and male bobwhite calling across the southern third of Iowa this spring, which is a sign of good overwinter survival. The best predictor of the pheasant population will be this August when we conduct our roadside survey.”

Habitat has remained stable Iowa has enrolled all available acres in Gaining Ground and Pheasant Recovery Continuous CRP programs, with the potential for more acres being available this summer. The Iowa DNR has also expanded its popular Iowa Habitat and Access Program – IHAP for short – that provides cost share funding to help landowner with pheasant and quail habitat in exchange for allowing hunter access.
