Pickleball tournament raises money for AP2DC

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — The Aplington-Parkersburg High School tennis courts were abuzz with activity this weekend, though it wasn’t the ordinary sounds of tennis. Instead the activity was something new, as AP2DC hosted its first Pickleball fundraiser.

“Its a new thing and so it just seemed like an opportunity to do something fun, to try something new and there’s a group that plays in Aplington already,” Organizer Jackie Klahsen said.

Klahsen said she had been exposed to pickleball by her parents, who play the game in Florida, where it is popular among retirees. Organizing the tournament, however, was all new.

“ I had a bunch of people that have played before,” she said. “I called the head of the Iowa Pickleball Association, Steve Stone, and he’s here, and he gave me a ton of pointers. And my dad and some friends of theirs who play in The Villages (helped) and a gal from Mason City who plays, Sue Finn, and she’s here. There’s no way I could have done it without a ton of help.”

Stone held a pickleball clinic Friday before tournament play was held Saturday and Sunday. Nineteen teams of two participated Saturday with 16 expected Sunday. Players came from as far away as Wisconsin and Kansas City, though many were from the general area.

The event was a fundraiser for the

spring 2017 AP2DC trip to Washington, D.C. Karla Mulder went on the trip with her daughter Diana the last time it was held.

“It’s all the history there that (the students) get to learn,” she said. “They learn about it in social studies and it’s like it’s reeducating them to see exactly what happened. They read about it and see the pictures in the portrait studios and then we have a wonderful tour guide that tells us everywhere we go, gives us history backgrounds.

It just reaffirms what they learn in school and shows them exactly what happens.”

The trip goes fast, leaving early Friday and returning Monday. It began as a leadership group of seventh- and

eighth-graders but has since expanded to be available to all seventh- and eighth-grade students, whose parents are also welcome to join them. Sixty-nine people are currently signed up for the March 2017 trip.

“It’s such a fun experience,” said John Riherd who attended the last trip with his son Koby and will be going on this year’s trip with his son Cale. “I had never been there so that was part of the fun, getting to see it myself, and the kids have a good experience. They really pack a lot of sightseeing and everything into the trip.”

“The neat part to me is it was so different than I expected it to be - the museums, the Smithsonians, the memorials and all those things,” he said.

“It’s so close together, too; that’s the neat part.”

The trip is designed to get to as many stops as possible, so students spend only 45 minutes to an hour at each site.

“Basically they’re gone from 8 in the morning to almost 8, 9 at night and they’re busy looking at everything,” Riherd added. “Everything’s quick and fast.”

Part of the trip is that each person who goes has to help raise funds.

Klahsen said volunteers have been generous with their time and effort.

“They do a good job of that, they all stepped up to do their part,” she said.

Chamber donates AEDs to library, swimming pool

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — A pair of donations by the Parkersburg Chamber of Commerce last week will make the Parkersburg community just a little safer.

The Chamber of Commerce donated Automatic Electronic Defibrillators (AEDs) to the Kothe Memorial Library as well as the Parkersburg Municipal Swimming Pool last Wednesday.

“Butler County (Public) Health is trying to really push getting the automatic defibrillators into our small communities because (medical profes-

sionals) can’t always get there in time when someone has a heart attack,” Chamber Director Tasha Finch said.

“We’re really trying to make this successful so we can stabilize someone if there is a need.”

The Chamber purchased three of the units (including one that will be brought to its events) for $1,200 each through Public Health. The units were discounted $500 each because they were purchased in multiples.

“I’m just really excited that we can help our community places, the places the people use,” Finch said. “We’re new prepared if something happens.

Usually it’s when someone doesn’t

have this and is not prepared that something happens. Now that we have this we are prepared and ready and we hope we never have to use it but we’re excited that we can bring this to the community.”

Swimming pool manager Rachel Barrett said her staff is already trained on the units, which are covered during annual CPR training.

“I’ve worked here for a long time and we’ve never had one, and fortunately we’ve never needed one,” she said. “This is great because we’ve wanted one all these years and to finally have one makes us all feel really good.

“It makes you feel good because it takes the ambulance a little while to get here … depending on the day it can take 10-15 minutes to get here.”

Library Director Deb Decker said she had looked into getting a unit though cost had been an issue.

“We’re very pleased for the Chamber to be able to provide this to us so that we can provide a service to the community,” she said. “Hopefully we’ll never have to use it on a community member but it’s a peace of mind knowing that it’s available.”

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — A revamped Parkersburg Fun Days kicks off Friday, Aug. 19 and continues through Saturday, Aug. 20.

The event is again being organized by the Parkersburg Fire Department Auxiliary, which is in its sixth year after taking over the event from the Chamber of Commerce.

This year’s event returns to its twoday roots, though it will pack most of the events of a year ago into a tighter schedule.

“We’re still trying to get everything in,” auxiliary member Deb Johnson said.

The theme for this year’s event is Aloha Summer, with leis and hawaiian themes par for the course.

“We’re looking for bright, colorful stuff,” Johnson said.

She said coming up with a theme is one of the more challenging parts of organizing the festival and that the organizing team simply sits and throws things out until something sounds good.

This year’s event kicks off with the Fun Days Kiddie Parade at 6:30 p.m.

Friday. Kids will line up at 6:15 at the corner of Day and Colfax Streets and work toward Miracle Park, where Miss Parkersburg will be crowned at 7 p.m.

Supervisors approve new case management employee

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review ALLISON — The Butler County Board of Supervisors last Tuesday approved a new case manager.

Todd Rickert, regional coordinator for County Social Services (CSS) approached the Supervisors with the request for the position which is new to the county at this point but had been filled in the past.

“I think it’s probably a surprise to everybody that we’re sitting here asking to increase capacity as far as staffing goes,” Rickert said. “A year ago we were really in flux, we didn’t know where we were going to be, and through time and hard work by many of the people who are part of our region we have been able to secure a

long-term contract with one of the major care organizations that has created a need to build capacity and not reduce capacity.”

The new employee would serve Butler County and be located in Butler County. They would be a Butler County employee, though their salary would be paid by CSS. Discussion included the way various regions are financed, with some comment made about the higher share that rural counties often pay over urban counties when compared to the services they use.

Supervisors passed the request unanimously.

Assessor Deb McWhirter briefed the Board on her attempt to collect property tax from the former Rolling

Ford property in Shell Rock. She said officials from the State Department of Revenue advised her to abate taxes on the property, as it is now owned and used by the City of Shell Rock.

Engineer John Riherd briefed the Board on several ongoing construction projects. Supervisor Rex Ackerman expressed concern that it is difficult to get in and out of Greene right now due to projects in the city, with Riherd noting that streets in and out of town likely being unofficially open by the end of the week. There was also brief discussion of the detour route for Highway 14, which is closed one mile north of Parkersburg. Though the official detour takes motorists on blacktop three miles east of Parkersburg and back, Ackerman noted that many mo-

torists have been using a much shorter route over gravel. Riherd also noted that the county’s contract rock project is nearing completion for the summer.

County Emergency Coordinator Mitch Nordmeyer reported that his department has purchased a drone. A major use of the drone will be searchand-rescue operations, with Nordmeyer noting that Kossuth County had recently been able to locate a lost man on a local creek who was lost and having a heart attack. Two-thirds of the drone’s $1,500 cost will come from an Iowa Communities Assurance Pool (ICAP) grant with the remaining cost coming from Emergency Management funds.

Local woman stepping up to help stricken youth

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — A popular mantra among those who go out of their way to help youth stricken with illness reads, “Sometimes real superheroes live in the hearts of small children fighting big battles.”

Sometimes the superheroes are also those who go out of their way to help those children. Breanne Luhring is one of those people. She saw a need in a family she worked with and is working to raise money to help.

Luhring was babysitting 5-year-old Claire Morgan earlier this year when Claire’s grandmother noticed she was having stomach problems. The grandmother opted to take Claire to the doctor and a tumor was found on her kidney.

The tumor was removed and Claire is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments.

“She’s hanging in there; doing pretty well,” Luhring said.

Luhring, however, wanted to do more than provide emotional support.

She decided to design a t-shirt to sell in hopes of raising a little money to help

the family.

“I just got really close to the family and thought anything would help them,” she said.

The t-shirt is gray with the superhero phrase on the front. On the back is an orange ribbon inside black and orange circles with the words “Team Claire.”

Luhring said she has already received some orders and is hoping for many more.

“I was hoping to raise quite a bit (of money) – at least a couple hundred dollars,” she said. “I’m not sure I’ll make that.”

Those not interested in the t-shirt are invited to make donations to the fund.

Shirt order forms can by picked up a Kidquest daycare, 427 Nash Street, Aplington or at Midwest One Bank in Parkersburg. Shirts may also be ordered online from Iowa Sports Supply, www.iowasports.com, click on the online story and find Team Claire. Donations may be sent to Breanne Luhring, 10044 N. Ave., Parkersburg, 50665.

Deadline for t-shirt orders is Friday, Aug. 5 and late orders will not be accepted. T-shirts will be available for pickup during Parkersburg Fun Days.

Correction The story printed in the July 27 Eclipse News-Review headlined “School Board seeks answers after altercation among athletic fans” contained an inaccurate statement about the A-P Falcon Booster Club having committed funds to help bring in a speaker. The Club has not yet voted upon whether to offer the funds, though the statement was mentioned in the July 26 meeting that the Club could be a source of funding for the speaker. The Eclipse News-Review apologizes for this misunderstanding.

VIEWPOINTS From The

Cheap Seats TEN YEARS AGO August 2, 2006 Friday at 9:12 a.m., the Butler County Sheriff’s Department got a report of an anhydrous ammonia leak at the Kesley Ag Center. The initial report was that the leak was from a storage tank containing several thousand gallons of anhydrous. Countywide response was made by EMS and fire departments from Aplington, Allison, Clarksville, Aredale, Dumont, Parkersburg, New Hartford, Greene, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Iowa State Patrol, Butler County Sheriff’s Department, Butler County Engineers and Emergency Management and various volunteers. The city was evacuated for several hours until residents were allowed to return just before 3 p.m.

Barkersfield will perform as part of the Parkersburg Fun Days Sunday, Aug. 19 at Rotary Park. The group is composed of four versatile performers who will play music ranging from Johnny Rivers to the Beatles as well as originals they have written.

Two professional actor/directors will direct the production and play the roles of the Giant and the Storyteller.

TWENTY YEARS AGO July 31, 1996 Wet conditions in Iowa have given the state an abundant crop of mosquitoes this year. Of particular concern to the Iowa Department of Public Heath is the high numbers of a species of mosquito known for transmitting disease.

Two cases of LaCrosse Encephalitis have already been reported this month in northeast Iowa.

The Aplington-Parkersburg Booster Club has started its annual membership drive for the upcoming school year. Memberships this year are $10 for individual, $15 for family and $50 for businesses. THe business membership is new this year and each business joining will receive a framed certificate.

THIRTY YEARS AGO July 23, 1986 Dr. Tom Pollock, membership committee chairman, has designated August as membership month for the Aplington Community Club. All members are requested to join up at least one new member and bring them to the August meeting.

Ronn W. Simon, Butler County Republican chairman, has announced the winners of the prizes given away by the Butler County Republicans. The items included a $50 United States Savings Bond, a 3 x 5 United States Flag that had flown over the nation’s capitol, a 3 x 5 Iowa flag that had flown over the state capitol and a jar filled with money.

Paul Murphy, 43, of New Hartford, was hospitalized with injuries he suffered when he jumped through a second-floor window to escape from his burning farmhouse last Friday. Murphy was cut badly on his right arm and sustained other injuries when he jumped. His four-year-old daughter Dena was dropped from the same window and was not injured.

FIFTY YEARS AGO

August 3, 1966 The Butler County Fair, which ended Monday, broke all attendance records. The Fair even topped the Butler Centennial Fair of 10 years ago.

Final figures were not available Tuesday morning, but Fair President Herman Faber estimated that attendance figures were over 20,000 and that Friday was probably the biggest single-day attendance the Fair has known.

Results of the 1964 agricultural census are presently being published by the United States Census Bureau. The figures for Iowa and for Butler County show some substantial changes since the last census of 1959, points out County Extension Director Kay A. Connelly. Iowa farm numbers continue to decline, dropping from 174,707 in 1959 to 154,162 in 1964. On the other hand farms continue to grow in size, from 193.6 acres per farm in 1959 to 219 in 1964.

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News Review Later this week the world will celebrate in a way we do only every four years. Friday night the games of the XXXI Olympian (the 2016 Summer Olympic Games) opens with lavish opening ceremonies and will run for more than two weeks, wrapping up with the men’s basketball and men’s volleyball finals as well as closing ceremonies.

The Olympics are an event that I enjoy if for no other reason than you see some sports that you don’t otherwise see much on television. Obviously sports like basketball, golf, soccer and tennis are staples of everyday life here and we occasionally will see things like boxing, volleyball and even track and field. Disciplines like wrestling, weight lifting, fencing, cycling and equestrian are fun to see just because they’re different, though television isn’t likely to air those sports that much.

It really wasn’t until I was an adult that I had much exposure to the Summer Olympics. Having grown up in New England, where winter sports were a lot more popular than summer, my dad paid some attention to skiing, hockey, ice skating and the like. I rarely, however, remember us watching the more popular Summer Olympics. Mind you that I grew up in the boycott era, with the United States and its allies having skipped the Moscow games in 1980 due to the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan and the Soviet Union and its allies having skipped the Los Angeles games four years later, basically, in protest of the U.S.-led boycott of its games four years earlier. By 1988 I was in college and was still finishing four years later. In other words there were a lot of reasons not to pay attention to the games.

That much had changed by 1996, which was the first year I remember paying a little more attention to the Games. I didn’t watch wall-to-wall coverage, and still will not this year, but I started watching a few events. As I looked over the history of those games, however, not a lot resonated except for the Olympic Park Bombing, which I really feel took some extra luster off those games.

Since then it seems that I’ve watched Olympics for their big stories. I remember the great story of Rulon Gardner in 2000 and Michael Phelps became must-see TV the past two Olympics.

I feel like this year’s Olympics might become a story more about non-athletics than the games itself. We’ve all heard stories about venues might not be ready on time and about how pollution could interfere with some of the rowing and sailing events. Zika Virus is a concern, though it seems that has died down a bit, and there is also the recent Russian doping scandal that we’ll very likely hear about any time there’s an event that a banned Russian could have been a contender in.

One of the things that’s always thrown me a little about the Olympics is how different international track and field is from the high school version.

High school track, generally in Iowa and other states, features several events not seen in the Olympics. While track in Iowa focuses heavily on relays, girls running seven and boys six, the Olympics feature only the 4 x 100- and 4 x 400-meter events. The Olympics also feature twice as many field events (eight) as Iowa high school track. Just like the Drake Relays, which Lynnette and I attend when we can, Seeing an Olympics in person or being part of an Olympic games is fairly high on my bucket list. The United States last hosted the games 20 years ago in Atlanta before that was Los Angeles 12 years before. Since then the U.S. has not had a city place in the top three of the selection process. Chicago was considered a strong contender to host this year’s games but finished fourth in the bidding. If Chicago or another Midwest city ever got the games (the only Midwest games was in St. Louis in 1904) I would likely take some vacation time and try to volunteer, be it retrieving shot puts, setting hurdles on the track or even taking tickets. I just want to be a part of it.

Make time for progress

August 30, 31 and September 1 are the dates for the 2016 Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday.

It’s been many years since I went to the Farm Progress Show and I believe it was down in the Kalona or Iowa City area. I know it was muddy and we walked about a bazillion miles!

I have been receiving periodic updates from FarmProgressShow.com and my last one finally had the link to order tickets and some of the events listed.

The Farm Progress Show is the nation’s largest outdoor farm event and will host around 600 exhibitors with products from new farm equipment to seed and crop products to services such as Morton Buildings, Ram Trucks and Kinze Equipment. When I looked at the number of sponsors and exhibitors, they filled 19 pages! (Needless to say I did not print that off!)

Several features new this year are: • Drone Lab • Field Demonstrations including corn combining, tillage and precision tools • Syngenta Square- cold drink and live music • Ride ‘n’ Drive Producers from all across the U.S. and even around the world will attend this annual event, an excellent learning opportunity for producers of all kinds. Seminar topics include; marketing, management and production.

According to the Wallace’s Farmer, the Farm Progress Show is “your best source for the world’s latest and most innovative ag technologies.”

For the 2016 Show you can download the latest version of the Farm Progress Show app. It has significant updates you do not want to miss. The app will help you navigate the 90 acre show and see what you want to see.

Companies with UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and UAV software will measure crop growth and offer farm show visitors a real-world look at the wealth of information available through their technology. The information gathered through UAVs will be more precise than anything seen before.

Tickets for the 2016 Farm Progress Show can be ordered at only $12 instead of the regular $15 by going to www.FarmProgressShow.com.

Take time this year to spend a little time in Boone and see what’s new in agriculture!

Wristbands will be available for unlimited bouncing and discounts will be offered to those buying five wristbands. Free face painting and balloon animals will also be part of the fun.

Also at noon will be a watermelon feed sponsored by Midwest One Bank

as well as an exhibition of antique tractors.

Johnson said there is always room for more volunteer help.

“We put a lot of time into it,” she said of the festival. “We volunteer our hours and we’d like to see more people volunteer. We’re always open to suggestions about what people want to see.”

Parts of the event are still coming into place. Updates will be posted on the Fun Days Facebook page, with a complete schedule printed in the Aug. 17 Eclipse News-Review.

Iowa sales tax holiday to be Aug. 5 and 6 Iowa’s annual sales tax holiday is set for Friday, Aug. 5 and Saturday, Aug. 6. The holiday does not extend to Sunday.

During the sales tax holiday, no sales tax is to be collected on the sales of clothing or footwear with a price of less than $100. Additionally, any applicable local option sales taxes are not to be collected.

Any business open on these days is required to participate, says the Iowa House Republican Newsletter, citing the Iowa Department of Revenue. Additionally, businesses cannot advertise that they will pay or absorb the sales tax on items that are not exempt from sales tax for the holiday.

The exemption does not apply to the sale of an item selling for $100.00 or more, but does apply when multiple items (that each cost less than $100) are purchased by the same person in the same transaction.

Items that are not exempt from sales tax (because they are not considered “clothing”) include: watches, watch-

Farm Bureau hosts Stroke Detection Plus screening Thirty-five people took advantage of the Stroke Detection Plus screening that was offered by the Butler County Farm Bureau in Allison on July 27. Stroke Detection Plus specializes in identifying the third leading cause of death, the number one leading cause of nursing home admissions, and the number one leading cause of disability, which is stroke. The Butler County Farm Bureau has been offering this service at least twice a year for the past seven years and many people have found health concerns that they never knew existed before they attended this screening.

Jeanette Franken is pictured above during the simple testing she took during at the Stroke Detection Plus screening.

All are welcomed to attend our Friends of the Library meeting on Monday, August 8, at 8:30 am.

The group’s purposes include: Promoting and enhancing the Kothe Memorial Library and its programs for the leisure, entertainment, and personal lifelong learning of those in the Parkersburg community and the surrounding areas.

AP Food Pantry to host open house Everyone is invited to the APFP Open House Friday, Aug. 19 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the food pantry (Civic Center). Ice cream will be served as the group celebrates the work and blessings that have come to the community through the efforts of many churches and volunteers.

The APFP Board would also like to celebrate the retirement of Jan and

Margaret as coordinators of the APFP and invite you to share this time of thankfulness for all they have done to bless and assist so many in need.

Additionally, we need your help if the APFP will continue its work beyond August. We plan at this time to be closed in September. We encourage those who use the food pantry to go to one of the mobile food pantries in

Council approves rehabilitation funding

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG -- The Parkersburg City Council Monday approved funding that will help bring a pair of rennovated housing units to downtown Parkersburg.

The $10,000 in low- to moderate-income funds were awarded to Sparrgrove Enterprizes LLC for a $66,300 project to rehabilitate two downtown residential units. City Manager Chris Luhring said officials advised the city to set specific conditions for use of the funds, which it has done. Among the agreements, Luhring said, developer Dom Sparrgrove agreed to repair the fire wall in the facility.

“This is a win-win and an appropriate use of low- to moderate-income funds,” Luhring said.

Residents in the new apartments would need to meet income guidelines.

Engineer Lee Galantine was on hand to discuss options with the Council for repairs to the storm sewer at the corner of Conn Street and Pleasant Drive.

Luhring said the storm sewer was originally built to code appropriate for its time but that he stopped work on it a couple of weeks ago so that it could be brought up to current standards.

“It can’t be put back the way it was,” he said. “You can’t put it back to 2007 standards - you have to use today’s standards.”

The adjustment will be to the sidewalk to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Luhring said there will be little cost to the city for the project.

Council officially accepted the resignation of Police Chief Scott Schrage and established Council members Mike Timmer and Harlan Schuck as well as Mayor Perry Bernard as the committee to find Schrage’s replace-

ment. The Council also accepted the resignation of reserve officer Justin Trees, who has accepted a job in Osage.

Council accepted a new 2016 REAP Application to replace one passed by Council at the last meeting. Luhring said the previous agreement called for a maximum $75,000 project and did not request the full $75,000 grant. The new agreement would request the full $75,000 grant with the same $12,000 city contribution for a total project cost of $87,000. At last month’s meeting it was mentioned that the funds would be used on a project to help with runoff at Schwartz Pond and possibly for a biking and walking trail.

Council also approved a three-year contract with Westrums Leak Detection at $1,350 per year for inspection of local water mains.

The next regular Council meeting will be Sept. 5.

Farmers encourages to apply now for cost-share for cover crops, no-till/striptill and nitrification inhibitor Assistance available through Iowa Water Quality Initiative Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today reminded Iowa farmers that funds are available to help install practices focused on protecting water quality. Practices eligible for this funding are cover crops, no-till or strip till, or using a nitrification inhibitor when applying fertilizer.

The cost share rate for first-time users of cover crops is $25 per acre, no-till or strip till are eligible for $10 per acre and farmers using a nitrapyrin nitrification inhibitor when applying fall fertilizer can receive $3 per acre.

Farmers are eligible for cost share on up to 160 acres.

First-time users that apply by August 1 will be the first applications funded.

First-time users that apply after August 1 will still receive priority consideration, but funds will also be made available to farmers that have used cover crops in the past for cost share assistance at $15 per acre.

“We already have $1.6 million in applications from more than 700 farmers interested in trying a new practice on their farm to better protect water quality. However, we do have some funds available, both for first time users and those interested in trying cover crops

again. I hope interested farmers will contact their local Soil and Water Conservation District soon to learn more about the assistance that is available,” Northey said.

Farmers are also encouraged to visit their local Soil and Water Conservation District office to inquire about additional opportunities for cost share funding through other programs offered at their local SWCDs. The cost share assistance was announced on May 11. Since then, the Governor has signed into law $9.6 million to support the Iowa Water Quality Initiative.

In the last three years this statewide program has been available, over 2,900 farmers in each of Iowa’s 99 counties have put in nutrient reduction practices on over 294,000 acres.

The state provided about $6.2 million in cost share funding to help farmers try a water quality practice and Iowa farmers provided more than $6.2 million of their own resources to support these water quality practices.

Background on Iowa Water Quality Initiative The Iowa Water Quality Initiative was established in 2013 to help implement the Nutrient Reduction Strategy, which is a collaborative research based approach to achieving a 45 percent reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus losses to our waters. The

strategy brings together both point sources, such as municipal wastewater treatment plants and industrial facilities, and nonpoint sources, including farm fields and urban stormwater runoff, to address these issues.

The initiative seeks to harness the collective ability of both private and public resources and organizations to deliver a clear and consistent message to stakeholders to reduce nutrient loss and improve water quality.

In addition to the statewide cost share, there are also currently 45 existing demonstration projects located across the state to help implement and demonstrate water quality practices through the initiative. This includes 16 targeted watershed projects, 7 projects focused on expanding the use and innovative delivery of water quality practices and 22 urban water quality demonstration projects. More than 100 organizations are participating in these projects. These partners will provide $19.31 million dollars to go with over $12 million in state funding going to these projects.

More than $325 million in state and federal funds have been directed to programs with water quality benefits in Iowa last year. This total does not include the cost share amount that farmers pay to match state and federal programs and funds spent to build practices built without government assistance.

Slam the scam: MidAmerican Energy launches campaign to protect customers from scammers DES MOINES — Today, MidAmerican Energy Company is launching its “Slam the Scam� awareness campaign to prevent customers from falling victim to energy scams.

On average, MidAmerican Energy receives approximately 100 reported scams each month, and this year, customers have reported losing nearly $9,000 dollars to scammers. “Our message is simple,� said Terry Ousley, vice president of customer satisfaction for MidAmerican Energy. “If you receive a questionable phone call or if someone suspicious shows up at your home or business, slam down the phone or slam the door and immediately call MidAmerican Energy to check on your account, and call local

police to report the scam.�

Ousley said scammers target all customers in all regions. “They’re bold, aggressive and use sophisticated tactics,� he said. “Once people start to catch on, the scammers move to a different area and change their approach.

While we can’t stop their calls, we can educate our customers to try to make their attempts unsuccessful.�

One of the most common scams works like this: A scammer calls a customer pretending to be a MidAmerican Energy representative. Often, scammers “spoof� caller ID to make the call appear as if it is coming from MidAmerican Energy when it is not.

The imposter tells the customer their account is past due and threatens to

immediately disconnect service if they do not make a payment.

One of the biggest red-flags is the scammer demanding payment in the form of a credit card or prepaid debit card, often referred to as a Green Dot card, and wanting it quickly – sometimes in less than an hour. MidAmerican Energy does not accept prepaid debit cards as a way to pay bills, and they do not ask for credit card information over the phone. “That is not how we operate,� said Ousley. “If someone is behind on payments, they will receive several notifications, including a notice in the mail, before disconnection takes place. We offer many payment options. Disconnection is a last resort, not a first step.�

Some scammers are even brave enough to approach customers in person, either by ringing their door bell or showing up at their business. The scammers may arrive in what looks like a MidAmerican Energy work vehicle, and they may wear official-looking vests or uniforms to appear like an energy worker. Typically, they threaten to disconnect power or claim that the customer needs a new energy meter in exchange for payment, or they pretend to be an energy auditor and offer to perform a home assessment. MidAmerican Energy does offer a free home assessment called HomeCheckÂŽ. These assessments are scheduled by the customer. Our energy experts do not show up unan-

nounced.

MidAmerican Energy’s Slam the Scam campaign will use a variety of articles and videos as well as customer outreach and social media efforts to educate customers on scams and prevent them from being taken advantage of by scammers. A video and campaign information can be found on the Slam the Scam webpage.

If customers receive a call that sounds like a scam, or if someone suspicious shows up at their business or residence, they should Slam the Scam by hanging up or shutting the door and calling MidAmerican Energy at 888427-5632 and their local police.

Customers should follow these tips to protect themselves:

• Hang up if the caller insists on immediate payment using a prepaid debit card or Green Dot card; • Ask to see identification from anyone who shows up at your door. MidAmerican Energy employees carry an employee ID badge at all times; • Don’t trust the name and number on your caller ID. Use the number published on MidAmerican Energy’s website or in the phone book: 888427-5632.

Help us spread the word; educate your family, friends and neighbors on what to do if they are faced with a scammer.

Eligibility from the previous year will continue within the same school for up to 30 operating days into the new school year. When the carry-over period ends, unless the household is notified that their children are directly certified or the household submits an application that is ap-

proved, the children must pay full price for school meals and the school will not send a reminder or a notice of expired eligibility. An application cannot be approved unless complete eligibility information is submitted.

Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. If a family member becomes unemployed the family should contact the school to complete an application. Households notified of their children’s eligibility must contact the school if the household chooses to decline the free meal benefits.

Foster children are eligible for free meal benefits. Some foster children will be qualified for free meals automatically through the State Direct Certification process. Their host family will receive notification of these benefits. Families that receive this notification from the school need to do nothing more for their foster children to receive free meals. If a family has foster children living with them and does not receive notification and wishes to apply for such meals, instructions for making application for such children are contained on the application form. A foster child may be included as a member of the foster family if the foster family chooses to also apply for benefits for other children. Including children in foster care as household members may help other children in the household qualify for benefits. If the foster family is not eligible for free or reduced price meal benefits, it does not prevent a foster child from receiving benefits.

Special Supplement Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) participants may be eligible for free or reduced price meals based on a completed application.

When known by the school, households will be notified of any child eli-

Services, today announced its policy for free and reduced price meals for children unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program and the Afterschool Care Snack Program.

State and Local school officials have adopted the following family size and income criteria for determining eligibility: Households may be eligible for free or reduced price meal benefits one of four ways listed below. • Households whose income is at or below the levels shown are eligible for reduced price meals or free meals, if they complete an Application for Free and Reduced Price School Meals/Milk.

Households may complete one application listing all children and return it to your child’s school. When completing an application, only the last four digits of the social security number of the household’s primary wage earner or another adult household member is needed. • Food Assistance households and children receiving benefits under the Family Investment Program (FIP) are eligible for free meals. Most children from Food Assistance and FIP households will be qualified for free meals automatically. These households will receive a letter from their children’s schools notifying them of their benefits. Households that receive a letter from the school need to do nothing more for their children to receive free meals. No further application is necessary. If any children were not listed on the notice of eligibility, the household should contact the school to have free meal benefits extended to them. • Some Food Assistance and FIP households will receive a letter from the Department of Human Services (DHS) which will qualify the children listed on the letter for free meals.

Parents must take this letter to the child’s school to receive free meals. • Food Assistance or FIP households receiving benefits that do not receive a letter from DHS must complete an application with the abbreviated information as indicated on the application and instructions, for their children to receive free meals.

When the application lists an Assistance Program’s case number for any household member, eligibility for free benefits is extended to all children in a household.

gible for free meals if the children are enrolled in the Head Start/Even Start Program or are considered homeless, migrant or runaway. If any children are not listed on the notice of eligibility, contact the school for assistance in receiving benefits. If households are dissatisfied with the application approval done by the officials, they may make a formal appeal either orally or in writing to the school’s designated hearing official. The Policy Statement on file at the school contains an outline of the hearing procedure. School officials may verify the information in the application, and that deliberate misrepresentation of information may subject the applicant to prosecution under applicable State and Federal criminal statutes. Households should contact their local school for additional information.

Healthiest State Initiative Annual Walk open for registration Iowans encouraged to step it up to 30 minutes DES MOINES — The Healthiest State Initiative’s 6th annual state-wide walk, presented by Delta Dental of Iowa, is now open for registration.

Schools, worksites, communities, colleges and universities from all over Iowa can go online at www.iowahealthieststate.com to register and join in on the fun!

This year’s state-wide walk lands on Wednesday, Oct. 5, and the Healthiest State Initiative is asking Iowans to #StepItUp to 30 minutes of walking from the 1K walk that was done pre-

viously, reflecting the U.S. Surgeon General’s Call to Action. The goal of this year’s walk is to have walks organized and registered in all 99 counties of Iowa.

“Six years ago we launched the annual walk with the theme “Start Somewhere” encouraging Iowans to walk a 1K,” said Jami Haberl, Executive Director of the Healthiest State Initiative. “This year we are asking Iowans to “Step It Up” and take the 1K to thirty minutes. Just thirty minutes of walking a day can improve one’s overall physical, social and emotional well-being.”

Those who sign up on behalf of their school, business or community can access walk resources, such as toolkits for spreading the word throughout their organization. To activate social media engagement, the Healthiest State has created “Why I Walk” pledge forms and various social media contests where a school and a community are able to win a $1,000 prize, and individuals will be entered in a drawing to win giftcards.

“Delta Dental of Iowa is proud to be the presenting sponsor for the Healthiest State Walk for three years,” says Jeff Russell, President and CEO of

Working together, I have no doubt that Iowa can become the healthiest state in the nation.”

Brick of Old We recently built a small house in Mexico at Refuge Ranch, home to our daughter and her family. When our Mexican mason, Marco, was building the brick walls, I handed him an old brick I had retrieved from the ruins of a nearby hacienda. The hacienda was built at least a couple of hundred years ago; it was a very old brick! I asked our mason to lay the brick just above the front door of our new house. The house is now finished. As you look at the front door the brick is easy to spot, being a couple of centuries older than the new bricks around it.

I imagine a Mexican mason long, long ago carefully placing this same brick in the hacienda that he and many others were building (the ruins of the hacienda are about a city block in size so it would have taken a lot of builders). Now, these many years later, another Mexican mason had taken the same brick and placed it in a 21st century house!

Mortar holds the old brick among the new for (hopefully!) years to come.

Old among the new; it’s a good reminder that “new and improved” isn’t all that should be valued. The “tried and true” also has its place. As a lifelong preacher of the gospel (the good news of Jesus) I always sought to be mindful of what the great apostle Paul wrote to some Christians in Galatia, “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!” (Galatians 1:8) I didn’t try to preach a new gospel but the old Gospel in a new and fresh way.

This is also why I like to read old books and not just the newly published that’s hot off the press. I figure that books and their ideas that have stood the test of time are worth my time. Organizations and groups need the young with new ideas, but they also need the older folks who have some old ideas that are still good. “Something old, something new” is part of an old English poem that suggests a bride carry both. We should hold to both as well.

Yes, things that are old can have real value. What piece of advice, example, idea, teaching, or Bible verse from your past has been of great value through the years? It would be good to think of some additional examples and let them impact us in a new way. As we build our lives brick by brick with new ideas and experiences let’s remember to incorporate some bricks of old truth!

“One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.” (Psalm 145:4)

Heery Woods to host butterfly program CLARKSVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bring the butterflies to you! Come on out to Heery Woods Nature Center on Saturday, August 13 from 10 to 11 a.m. where Naturalist Intern Jake Thumann will be revealing the recently renovated butterfly garden and speaking about the renovation process. This free public program sponsored by Butler County Conservation will provide the chance for you to learn how to construct your own butterfly garden to provide some much needed habitat for the butterflies of Iowa to feed and reproduce.

Through advances in agriculture and urbanization processes the habitat available for our native butterflies and other pollinators is decreasing at a steady pace. A personalized butterfly garden will not only provide quality

habitat for the butterflies and other pollinators, but will also provide you with a front row seat to a beautiful show put on by the beautiful native Iowa butterflies. By picking and choosing your own combination of plants for your garden and can begin to attract the butterflies and other pollinators you want to see!

The revealing of the Heery Woods Butterfly Garden renovation is a free program sponsored by the Butler County Conservation Board and open to the general public. Families are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Heery Woods Nature Center is located at 27887 195th Street near Clarksville, Iowa. For more information about the program contact Heery Woods Nature Center at (319) 278-1130.

Summer is all about relaxing with family and friends. Add fishing to your list of summer activities. Plan a day trip or bring along fishing gear on your next weekend getaway or camping trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fish are still biting, even in the middle of a sticky Iowa summer,â&#x20AC;? said Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Bureau. Like anglers, fish adjust to the heat, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key is being in the right place, even when the thermometer says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too hot to fish.â&#x20AC;?

The best fishing is early in the morning or later in the evening and after dark. Avoid the brightest, hottest part of the day. Fish might cruise the shoreline early in the morning, but will seek cover in deeper water as the sun starts beating down on the water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of our best fishing is after dark,â&#x20AC;? reminds Larscheid.

Look for fish in weed beds or structure, near shade during the day. They often are suspended in deeper water, just above the thermocline - a midsummer phenomenon many lakes develop creating two distinct layers. Below the thermocline, often 8 to 10 or 12 feet deep, oxygen is nearly nonexistent. Many fish suspend just above the thermocline, where temperatures and light conditions are tolerable, and where oxygen levels are sufficient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the water heats up, we really see the white bass and wipers come on,â&#x20AC;? said Larscheid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hot weather is also a good time to catch big channel catfish and largemouth bass.â&#x20AC;?

White bass are active in the summer in the flood control reservoirs (Coralville, Red Rock, Rathbun and Saylorville). Calm days are the best to fish for white bass because the seagulls can see the shad easier and will be feeding on them. Follow the seagulls to spot white bass. Telltale splashes on the water surface are good signs, too, as the shad leap from the water trying to escape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bluegills spawn several times during the summer, so stay shallow, looking for them,â&#x20AC;? advises Larscheid.

Largemouth bass and channel catfish can be found close to shore. Look for bass near cover; stumps, wood structure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bass and bluegills will also use vegetation for cover and shade. It also holds a variety of zooplankton and insects which attract baitfish.â&#x20AC;?

Find a great place to fish close to home on the DNR website fishing.iowadnr.gov along with tips for catching specific fish species this summer.

Summer tips to land Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big fish Iowa anglers have lots of opportunities to earn a Master Angler award this summer. The Master Angler program celebrates angler success for catching quality sized fish by awarding a vehicle or boat decal and certificate for each fish that meets program criteria.

Quickly find the best spots to catch qualifying size fish with the electronic map recently added to the Master Angler website (https://programs.iow-

adnr.gov/masterangler/). Anglers can search for local hotspots by species or location.

A search using the new ranking feature identified these top locations (listed by the number of catches) where qualifying fish have been caught. Try these simple tips from DNR fisheries biologists to catch large bluegill, bass and crappie during the summer heat (early morning and sunset are best).

Local softball teams wrap up seasons

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review The 2016 high school softball season was one of contrasts for Aplington-Parkersburg and Dike-New Hartford. A-P had an extremely young team, with just two seniors, while D-NH said goodbye to no fewer than 10 seniors. All in all both teams had highlights to go with tough times on their way to finishes below the .500 mark.

Aplington-Parkersburg

2016 was a learning year for a Falcon team that featured only two seniors, one of whom missed a portion of the season injured. The result was a 2-19 season (2-14 NICL East) and a first-round regional loss to top-ranked and eventual state champion Benton Community.

Both Falcon wins came against Wapsie Valley, 12-11 June 6 after trailing 11-2 and 8-1 June 23. A-P struggled to hold opponents in check, allowing 10 or more runs in 18 of their 21 games

while scoring more than two runs only six times, including three straight early in the year.

Individually, sophomore Maddie Waller showed star potential, hitting .404 with four doubles, four triples and a team-best nine runs batted in. Freshman Jenna Bruns hit .286 with two doubles and a triple while eighth-grader Jaycie Ellis hit .275 and Smith hit .273. Sophomore Canon DeGreete scored a team-high 10 runs and stole a team-leading five bases. Eighth-grad-

er Jersey Rosteck showed pitching potential, recording 41 strikeouts on the season.

Dike-New Hartford The Wolverines flirted with the .500 mark all year before finishing 13-16 overall and in sixth place in the NICL East with a 6-10 mark. They won their first two games and five of their first nine before a three-game losing streak dropped them below .500 for the first time. Wins in four of its next five games built the Wolverine record back

to 9-8 before losses in seven of their final 10 regular-season games pushed the record back down. D-NH opened the postseason with a 9-0 victory over Hudson before suffering a 2-1 regional quarterfinal loss to traditionally-tough West Marshall.

Seniors dominated the stat chart for the Wolverines, with Brooke Myers capping her senior season with a .375 batting average, four home runs and 14 runs batted in. Taylor Hedges hit .373 with a team-high 25 runs scored and

15 stolen bases while Anna Williams hit .356, Katie Nielsen .311 and Madison Dove .279 with 14 RBIs. Both Meyers and Hedges earned honorable mention all-state recognition for their efforts. Senior Hannah Dove was one of the top pitchers in the NICL East, finishing with a 12-9 record and a 2.52 earned run average. She struck out 105 hittiers in 125 innings of work while also contributing on offense with a .team-high .378 batting average.

D-NH conference title headlines local baseball season

The Havoc boys’ basketball team recently completed its first season with a 25-10 record. Consisting of players from Aplington-Parkersburg, Dike-New Hartford and Iowa Falls-Alden, the team played in eight tournaments, never finishing lower than third place and winning the MAYB Wloo/CF tournament with a victory over a Waverly-Shell Rock team that had beaten the Havoc twice before. Team members pictured left to right include: front row: Elijah Switzer AP, Jacob Stockdale DNH, Parker Luscomb AP, Blake Janssen IFA, Christian Haugstad AP, Benton Bixby DNH, Jayden Mackie AP, Sam Livingood AP, Kale Riherd AP. Second row: Coaches Cody Switzer and Andy Luscumb.

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review Dike-New Hartford’s run to the 2016 North Iowa Cedar League East Division crown highlighted the local high school baseball season.

The Wolverines finished 30-4 (222 in league games) while Aplington-Parkersburg finished 13-17 overall and 10-14 in the league. D-NH won the league by two games over second-place Jesup while Denver, which knocked the Wolverines out of the postseason, was six games behind D-NH in third place. A-P finished fifth in the league race.

Aplington-Parkersburg The Falcons were up and down during a season that featured consecutive wins five times and consecutive losses five times. They opened with five losses in six games before coming back with five wins in six games to even their record at 6-6. A-P topped the .500 mark for the only time all year with a doubleheader sweep of Union June 17, though that was followed by their longest losing streak of the year, five games. It came back with three straight wins but lost five of its last seven, including its regional opener at Hampton-Dumont.

The young Falcons featured just three seniors, Nick Waller, Andy Smith and Cody Johnson, while seeing seven underclassmen receive significant playing time. Waller paced A-P with a .390 batting average, eight doubles, three triples and two home runs while Smith hit .304 with four doubles and just nine strikeouts all year. Sophomore Alec Oberhauser hit .291 with six doubles while sophomore Coby Hoff hit .266 with a team-high 13 stolen bases.

Waller and Cade Alberts led the pitching staff with three wins each while freshman Carter Cuvelier had a

team-best 1.89 earned run average and team-high 50 strikeouts.

Dike-New Hartford The Wolverines opened the season with 11 straight wins before suffering a one-run loss to Jesup after leading most of the game. D-NH came back with five more consecutive wins, including a pair over Jesup, before falling to Class 3A Central DeWitt in the North Fayette Valley tournament.

D-NH matched its season-opening win streak with 11 more in a row before suffering a one-run loss to Hudson after leading by two in the final inning.

The Wolverines’ best win of the year came July 1 against Class 1A No. 2 ranked Don Bosco. D-NH trailed 2-0 after six innings before putting a threespot on the board for one of their dozen come-from-behind wins. The Wolverines also trailed Columbus Catholic in the second round of district play, 3-0 after four innings, before rallying for the 11-3 win. They could not carry the magic into the district final, however, as Denver scored a pair of eighth-inning runs to win after the Wolverines had rallied from a second 3-0 postseason deficit.

The Wolverines were a strong offensive team, averaging 9.4 runs per game. Ty Sohn, a third-team all-state pick, led them with a .437 batting average and 13 doubles while Connor Neuroth hit .407 with 11 extra-base hits and a team-high 38 stolen bases.

Trent Johnson hit .369 with 10 extra-base hits and Ethan Weichers hit .308 with a conference-leading four home runs.

Several Wolverine pitchers had good seasons led by Jake Sonnenberg and Clayton Mapel with seven wins each and Sohn with six. Nick Durnin recorded a team-high 52 strikeouts while Sonenberg had 33.
