double-majored in psychology and human services and minored in sociology.

While working on bachelor’s degree, Gribben landed a job as a paraeducator in Mason City and found her calling.

“I loved being in the school. I loved being around kids and around people that want to support kids and help them grow.”

Gribben looks forward to her new role.

“It’s great being able to pair things I know about — psychology and the mind, how it works — and focusing it into helping kids and their emotions, and how their emotions sometimes inhibit their learning and how we can work to overcome those barriers,” Gribben said.

“It (solfege) helps to develop their pitch hearing,” Su said. “As I was admitted to the talented music class, is when I started to have everything my students have in college.”

Linguistics teaches that children learn new languages most easily in their early years.

“I think music is like another language,” she said. “Little kids don’t ask why they have to learn things and don’t find learning new things as difficult.

They try things with more of an open mind at an early age.”

Su plays in large groups like orchestras, small groups (chamber music) and solo. She co-founded Wonder Horns, a horn quintet based in Taiwan and was playing with the Taipei Symphony Orchestra before coming to UNI. Since moving to the Cedar Valley, she has performed with Northwind Quintet and the Northern Brass Quintet. She has performed at faculty recitals, with the Cedar Valley Chamber Music Festival and with the WCF Symphony Orchestra.

Local church gives back to community through free supper

For several years, Trinity Reformed Church in Allison has been inviting the community and the campers at Wilder Park to a free supper. It is just one of the means by which the church supports the community.

Many are surprised to find that it is actually completely free.

They expect to see a donation box or some other fundraising effort, but this supper has no strings attached. Trinity just wants to reach out and bless the community.

The public is invited to join the congregation for supper, games, and a movie on Saturday, Aug. 27 beginning at 6 p.m. They will show the movie “Miracles From Heaven” at dusk. Please bring your own lawn chairs.

On Sunday morning, the church will provide an outdoor worship service at the main shelter house at Wilder Park. Bring lawn chairs and join them at 9 a.m. for donuts and the worship service at 9:30 a.m.

(Regular viewers at Dumont Cable channel 998 will probably be watching a rebroadcast of a previous service that morning.)

Find out more about Trinity Reformed Church at the website, www.trinref.org.

St. John’s Vilmar Summer Social set Aug. 28

St. John’s Lutheran Church, Vilmar, will host its Summer Social on Sunday, Aug. 28 from 4:30-6:30 p.m.

Menu includes beef burgers, potato salad, chips, baked beans, salads, homemade pie, brownies, ice cream, coffee, lemonade and iced tea. A freewill offering will be taken.

Carryouts are available. The church is handicap-accessible.

New this year will be a craft sale, bake sale and produce table.

The church is at 16073 Keystone Ave., a Greene address.

Franklin Chorale auditions Aug. 23, 25

It will now be easier to get from here to there outdoors at North Butler Elementary in Allison, thanks to a network of cement sidewalks installed over the summer.

The walks will allow for disability ac-

The North Butler School Board approved the only quote on the job, which was from Schroeder Concrete and was

initially estimated just under $16,000, at the May meeting. After a change order, the final amount was over $16,000, but it was still well under the threshold that would require work to go to bid, Foster said.

To recap, in Shell Rock on Thursday, Aug. 4, a man tried to grab a boy at

the U.S. Post Office and pull him into a white van. The boy was able to fight off the man and get away. Shell Rock Police are investigating.

New Hartford man turns class art into ‘BIG’ book

By John Jensen NEW HARTFORD — As a teacher at Peet Junior High School in Cedar Falls, Bill Close was known far and wide for the larger-than-life art projects that his students created. Now the New Hartford resident has turned the artwork into a book that he is selling in an effort to give back to others.

“Early in my teaching career I discovered one thing about junior high students — they loved things that were either really, really small and miniature or really big. That seemed to turn it on,” Close said.

“I was always fascinated by pop art and Claes Oldenburg,” he said. “Claus Oldenburg built monumental pop art structures all over the world. There are three in this vicinity, the spoon and cherry at the Walker Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis; Des Moines had the Crusoe Umbrella; and the Kansas City Art Institute had the giant shuttlecocks on the lawn. That always appealed to me.”

The megasculptures that Close and his students created between 1979 and 2002 became a phenomenon in Cedar Falls, drawing public interest and creating life-long memories for the students that were part of them. He said the idea came as he was trying to discover how to get through to a few of his students in 1979.

“I had a class that was predominantly ninth-grade boys, good kids but I felt that they weren’t really buying into the art curriculum I was providing,” he said.

“At that time the ladies in the cafeteria, the head of the food services in Cedar Falls, asked me if one of my art classes could do something to decorate the cafeteria for National School Lunch Week.

I had no idea there was such a thing as National School Lunch Week but I had an idea.

“So I approached this ninth-grade art class and I told them ‘The cafeteria ladies want us to decorate the cafeteria, would you guys be interested in making some posters?’ I knew they wouldn’t, their eyes kind of rolled, and I said ’That’s the response I thought I was going to get, but I have another idea. We could take this whole thing up a notch or two.’ I said, ‘How would you like to be involved in building the world’s larg-

Governor Branstad to recognize Iowa centenarians

Des Moines – In an effort to recognize Iowans who are celebrating 100 years or more of life, Governor Terry Branstad and the Iowa Department on Aging are launching a call for centenarians and are planning a number of regional Centenarian Recognition events throughout the state.

For the purposes of this program, a centenarian is any older adult who will be 100 or older by Dec. 31, 2016, and whose primary residence is Iowa.

“We are so fortunate to have such a large number of centenarians in Iowa,” said Iowa Department on Aging Director Donna Harvey. “They have lived through things many of us have only read about in books or seen in movies; their collective wisdom and experience is an inspiration to us all. We can learn so much from these men and women who have helped make Iowa the great state that it is.”

To assist the State of Iowa in recognizing centenarians, the public is encouraged to inform a centenarian, or the person’s family or caregiver, about this call for centenarians and where to access and submit an application. The application is posted on the Iowa Department on Aging’s website at www. iowaaging.gov or may be requested by calling 800.532.3213 or emailing Danika.Welsch@iowa.gov.

Each centenarian will receive a signed certificate from Governor Branstad that

is suitable for framing and will be invited to attend a Centenarian Recognition event on October 19 at the Heartland Acres Agribition Center in Independence. This event will be sponsored by the Iowa Department on Aging and Iowa’s Area Agencies on Aging.

The Iowa Department on Aging will accept forms for any centenarian on an ongoing basis to be included in the statewide Centenarian Registry, but to receive an invitation to one of this year’s Centenarian Recognition Events and a signed certificate from the Governor, applications must be received by August 31, 2016.

Boomgarden commissioned as 2nd lieutenant Logan L. Boomgarden, son of Matthew and Ranae Boomgarden of Newton, N.C., grandson of Robert and Harriet Freesemann, Allison, Jeff and Sally Boomgarden Deer River, Minn., and great-grandson to Esther (Boomgarden) Schmidt, Allison, was recently commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant at Marine Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Va., on Aug. 6, 2016.

After spending four years as a 0331 Machine gunner in the U.S. Marine Corps and completing his bachelor’s degree from Saint Cloud State University, Boomgarden applied for a commission. He successfully completed a grueling 10-week regimen to educate and train officer candidates in Marine Corps knowledge and skills within a controlled, challenging and chaotic environment that serves to evaluate and screen individuals for the leadership, moral, mental and physical qualities, which are required for commissioning as a Marine Corps officer. During this training, Boomgarden received awards and commendations for his exemplary physical fitness.

In order to be selected for Officer Candidate School, Boomgarden had to be recommended by six military officials, the dean of his respective college, SCSU, as well as a civilian employer. Afterwards, his portfolio amongst those of thousands of other hopefuls, was examined by a board of high-ranking Marine Corps officials in order to gain entry into the

Program helps caregivers plan for long-term financial security ISU Extension and Outreach offers ‘Finances of Caregiving’ for family caregivers

By Brenda Schmitt, Suzanne Bartholomae, Laura Sternweis ISU Extension & Outreach AMES – As the state’s older population continues to increase, many Iowans eventually will be providing some level of care for an elderly parent or relative.

Although taking on that caregiving role may have an emotional benefit, it also may have a negative financial impact, if the caregiver has to take time off from paid work or quit working altogether.

That’s why Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is piloting “Finances of Caregiving,” a program to help Iowans protect their own longterm financial security as they plan for taking on a caregiving role.

According to IowaAging.gov, about 350,000 Iowans are informal family caregivers.

“Providing care does not always mean that the person lives with you,” said Brenda Schmitt, a human sciences specialist in family finance with ISU Extension and Outreach.

“It may mean that you provide transportation or other services for someone who still lives in his or her own home.

For most working Iowans, this requires flexible work schedules or using personal leave days, sometimes without pay,” Schmitt said.

“When making the decision whether to leave work or reduce your work

hours to become a caregiver for an aging parent or other relative in need of constant care, you have several areas to consider. How will it affect your current spending plan? How will it affect your retirement? Losing a couple years of contributions when you’re near retirement may not make a big difference in your account balance. But, the longer you have until you plan to retire, the greater the impact on your retirement savings,” Schmitt said.

Caregiving has financial risks, said Suzanne Bartholomae, a family finance state extension specialist and adjunct associate professor in human development and family studies.

“Family caregivers absorb many costs and may have reduced income and retirement savings as a result of their caregiving responsibilities. One research study found that caregivers spent an average of $8,000 of their own money on long-term care-related expenses. Iowa caregivers can protect their own financial security through planning and understanding their options,” Bartholomae said.

That’s where “Finances of Caregiving” comes in. ISU Extension and Outreach started with an earlier curriculum – “What Every Adult Child Should Know,” developed by Celia R Hayhoe and the National Endowment for Financial Education – and adapted and updated it for use in Iowa. The fiveweek program involves face-to-face group workshops combined with learning online.

In the first lesson, participants begin to document their own financial situation.

They also take a look at the finances of

the person for whom they are or will be providing care, to see what resources might be available to pay for that care.

Next, participants begin to organize legal documents for the person receiving care, so that as the caregiver they can make necessary financial and medical decisions. They also can lay the groundwork to be paid for providing care, if resources are available.

As the program continues, participants examine the financial implications of caregiving that specifically will affect their retirement. In addition, they learn about communication techniques they can use with their families when discussing these difficult issues.

“Some people think they can’t get it all done, but you work at your own pace,” Schmitt said.

Another round of “Finances of Caregiving” pilots will begin this fall, and Bartholomae expects pilots to continue through 2017. This is an example of research in action, she said. ISU Extension and Outreach specialists will be evaluating the pilots as they progress to determine the most effective way to make the program available statewide.

“Family members are a key partner in the long-term care of older adults. They often provide care support and services when no formal service is available.

Care and support provided by family members is essential to maintaining the health and well-being of Iowa families and communities,” Bartholomae said.

For more information about “Finances of Caregiving,” contact any ISU Extension and Outreach county office to get in touch with a human sciences specialist in family finance.

Words have consequences

On Nov. 22, 1963, the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, I was starting my freshman year at the University of Iowa. Those events are vividly etched in my mind.

I remember a news report at the time that when a schoolteacher in a DallasFt. Worth suburb announced the news to her class, many broke out in applause. In the households in which they were raised, Kennedy was regarded as a traitor and communist so his demise was welcomed. He was reviled in conservative circles with incendiary speech, as was Martin Luther King.

Before Kennedy flew to Dallas, both Secretary of State Adlai Stevenson and Lady Bird Johnson had been pushed and shoved in their appearances there. With some foreboding, Kennedy remarked he was headed into “nut country.” The area was a hot-bed for the John Birch Society. It was an ultra-conservative group that presaged today’s Tea Party. Just as the Koch brothers fund today’s Tea Party, so their father funded the far-right John Birch Society.

We are experiencing a similar radical conservative movement in America now except that it is much larger than it was in 1963. Iowa always used to be counted as part of the Northwest Territories, a land grant college state, and part of the progressive movements in Minnesota and Wisconsin. But today, it is becoming similarly connected to the Bible-belt segregationist South with anti-immigrant, anti-evolution, anti-labor, anti-feminist, anti-science and anti-intellectual populism.

In this year’s political campaigns, we hear people at Donald Trump rallies shouting “traitor,” “communist,” “lock her up,” and “hang the bitch”

Donald Trump is preemptively blaming the media for his impending loss in this year’s general election.

I suppose it’s a fair conclusion. After all, abundant media coverage on every outlandish thing Trump said practically gift-wrapped the Republican nomination for Trump. Why wouldn’t it work the other way around?

Surprisingly, to Trump at least, what worked for him during the primary is hurting him in the general. Trump is currently down in every swing state, from Virginia to New Hampshire to Georgia. Also, Georgia is apparently a swing state now.

All because the media is doing what they’ve been doing from the beginning.

Relaying the things Donald Trump says under the premise that he actually means them.

“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” said Trump at a rally in North Carolina. “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don’t know.”

I’m not going to speculate on what Trump meant by that. Feel free to do that for yourself. What I can tell you is what he didn’t mean by that.

Trump cannot be talking about voting in this sentence. There is no way you can take that string of 23 words and

with a fervor that echoes the crowds that yelled “burn the witch” in Salem, Massachusetts and medieval Europe.

Some of these people would no doubt applaud Hillary Clinton’s assassination. The Hate-Hillary crowd has been deliberately grown by a right wing Republican propaganda industry for 30 years.

Hillary is perhaps the most slandered woman since Joan of Arc. Certainly, she is the most investigated person in history and yet no legal wrongdoing has ever been found. She was named the Most Admired Woman in America for 18 of the last 20 years in Gallup polls, yet we constantly hear Fox News drill it into people’s heads that she is not well liked.

Donald Trump has often hinted at violence. “Punch ‘em out,” he yells in his rallies about any dissenter, “Carry them out on a stretcher.” He said his supporters would riot if he didn’t get the nomination. Trump constantly uses inflammatory language to whip up his crowd. We know that can also stir fanatics to action. From the stage he calls Hillary the devil, a monster, and the co-founder of ISIS. Words have consequences and if you doubt it, just ask the widows of Martin Luther King or Yitzhak Rabin.

Trump says if he loses the election, it will only be because the system is rigged and corrupt. He nurtures resentment and casts doubt on the very foundation of our democracy. This ex-

tremism is exactly how democracies fail and authoritarian regimes come to power. When pent up problems go unsolved, people demand action, even extra-legal action if necessary. Why not elect him, things couldn’t get any worse, they say, but deep down all of us know things can get much, much worse.

As I write this, I am listening to Trump saying 2nd Amendment-people can stop Clinton’s Supreme Court appointments. Basically, he is predicting her election and not so coyly hinting at what his people could do to fix it. In a country awash in guns and extremists, his reference to assassination should be taken seriously.

Trump’s supporters have now been primed to treat Hillary Clinton as an illegitimate president just as they think Obama is a foreign born Muslim illegitimately elected president. If she is elected, as seems likely, Republicans like Sens. McConnell and Grassley will probably vow to oppose, obstruct and delay her every single proposal for the next 4 or 8 years just as they have done with Obama. Surely, they must realize that rooting for the failure of a Presidential Administration is rooting for America to fail. They are making America ungovernable and abetting the extremists.

One thing is sure; division and frustration in the country will only continue to grow if government continues to be plagued with the obstruction and

partisan gridlock that has left so many problems unaddressed. One small recent example: Congress has adjourned for two months after failing to appropriate money to fight the public health threat of the Zika Virus.

As frustration at government dysfunction grows into contempt and then into anger, even extreme solutions to break the logjam become more appealing. We have voices from the left calling for socialism and voices from the right calling for fascism, violence and armed revolution. The Republican Party has now become only a coalition of cultural, economic and racial grievances rather than a party capable of governing. And this year, the party is reaping what it sowed.

Yesterday, Sen. Susan Collins (R - Maine) has said she could not support Trump because he did not even represent American values let alone Republican ones. The day before, 50 Republican foreign policy experts called Trump dangerously unfit for the Oval Office.

Today [Friday], conservative Republican stalwart and MSNBC TV host, Joe Scarborough, asked a great question, “Is this what it was like in 1933 Germany?” We are getting accustomed to the hyperbolic nonsense that spews forth daily from The Donald. We are being conditioned to accept the unthinkable.

Scarborough went on to castigate Republicans who continue to support the knowing disaster for America that is Trump, urging them instead to put country above party and stand for American democratic principles. I don’t often agree with Joe, but to this I said, “Amen.” Maybe Trump is bringing us together.

conclude that Trump is referring to the voting power of Second Amendment proponents. That is an ‘if-then’ statement, describing a scenario in which Clinton has already been elected and apparently the only people capable of stopping her from selecting a Supreme Court Justice unfriendly to guns are the “Second Amendment people.”

Trump’s doesn’t explicitly state what exactly he thinks the “Second Amendment people” would be able to do to stop Clinton and/or her pick of justice.

In fact, he admits ignorance about the details by ending his thought with “I don’t know.” He’s just saying that the “Second Amendment people” might be able to do something.

Whatever he actually meant, the implication is obvious, as though it was posted in giant gold letters on the side of a building. Technically, I wouldn’t say Donald Trump was inciting violence against Hillary Clinton. But only on a technicality.

After all, it’s not like Donald Trump doesn’t have a history of inciting vio-

lence against people at rallies. In fact the city where Trump made his “Second Amendment” comment is only an hour away from Fayetteville, where a Trump supporter was charged with assault and battery after a protester was attacked last March.

In a normal campaign, it would be a crippling blow that would virtually guarantee the end of the speaker’s political aspirations.

For Donald Trump, it was Tuesday.

I foolishly thought I could dedicate a whole column to this topic, revisiting the subject of where the line of responsibility is drawn between people and the crazy mobs that do things on their behalf.

It’s one of the risks of a weekly paper that sometimes a topic becomes old news before you get a chance to print anything about it, but surely something grave enough as implied assassination would stay in the news cycle for a while. Right?

Well not if, just one day later, Donald Trump claims that President Obama

founded ISIS. Four times.

Now one might say that Trump was referring to the power vacuum in Syria and Iraq creating an opportunity for ISIS to rise to prominence. The group existed well before then, but at least that’s something you could say happened on Obama’s watch.

But no. That’s not what Trump meant, because when presented with that exact out on Hugh Hewitt’s talk show, Trump explicitly denied that was what he meant and doubled down on the original statement.

So apparently President Obama used his time machine to travel back to 1999 and create ISIS. This would be the same time machine Obama used to start the Afghanistan War in 2001, get Captain Humayun Khan killed in Iraq in 2004, and cause the 2007 financial crisis.

That was sarcasm.

What Trump said was not. I don’t know what he thought he was doing when he made those comments, but it wasn’t sarcasm.

Donald Trump is running for president, not posting in the comments section of Yahoo! News. Calling for Russia to hack a political candidate stops being a joke when you know Vladimir Putin is probably going to hear you.

The only saving grace here seems to

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.

Less style than Nixon The GOP has nominated one of the worst candidates for president they ever had. Even Mitt Romney had a speech against him wanting him to stop his nomination. The American history books have one president that was impeached and two presidents that resigned. And Donald Trump is impeachment material already. He has less style than Richard Nixon and clearly less

qualifications.

That is why I am going to be voting for the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, this November.

And by doing so I will be protecting my country.

Game on!

Ever had a toothache? One so bad it makes your whole head throb? Welcome to my world the last two weeks! I can’t really understand why ANYONE would choose to be a dentist and work in peoples’ mouths, but at times of a sore tooth, I am glad SOMEONE does!

Do you ever have days of wondering why you are doing something and are you the best one to be doing it? Some decisions just leave us shaking our heads and saying “What was I thinking?”

Every time we (mostly my husband!) have a marketing decision to make we go back and forth about what to do. I’m

be that by the time you can respond to one inane thing Trump says, he’ll have already done something else. Because in the time it’s taken me to write this far in this column, I’ve found out that Donald Trump told a Make-A-Wish kid that he would never lie to him, and then immediately promised to do something he cannot possibly do.

We accept the popular notion that the promises of politicians mean very little.

Political reality forces them to oversell themselves. The sad irony is that if politicians were honest, nobody would vote for them.

Donald Trump has taken this concept to the next level. For somebody running as a outsider not abiding by the usual political rules, Trump has become a cartoonish embodiment of abhorrent political tactics. He will say anything he thinks will play well with the audience in front of him. If it works, he’ll keep saying it. If it gets him in trouble outside of his bubble, he’ll claim he was only kidding and still keep saying it.

It’s interesting behavior for a guy whose rise was largely based on the perception that he “tells it like it is.”

Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and actually could stand to wait a while to see what Trump comes up with next.

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.

sure not going to advise him one way or the other! Every day I listen to the experts on Ag Day or some other program and they go back and forth. One day there’s a rally, the next day it hits an all-time low! What’s a farmer to do?

Now if I really want to know what to do, I would attend Attention Ag Women, It’s Game Day. This is a workshop designed with me in mind; designed to help women build their own marketing game plan. (Seems like an appropriate title with the football season right around the corner!) This workshop will be held Tuesday, September 13 from 8:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. at Buchanan Hall on the Hawkeye Community College campus.

From the Pre-Game Tailgate to the Post-Game Analysis, women will have the opportunity to hear from some of the experts. The first half speakers include; Julianne Johnson from Pro Farmer; Naomi Blohm from StewartPeterson, Inc. and Angie Setzer, Grain Division President of Citizens LLC. Half-time includes lunch and the second half line-up includes Kelvin Leibold, ISU Extension & Outreach Farm and Ag Business Management Specialist.

I always hear of these things AFTER I have already scheduled something for that day so it remains to be seen if I will be at Game Day! Seating is limited so registration needs to be done asap! Cost of the Marketing Game Plan Day is $30 and can be made at IAWomenMarketing@gmail.com.

If you’re like me and would like to know more about marketing but still not be responsible for making ANY of those marketing decisions, please sign up. Maybe we can learn a little more together!

Don’t be late!

Deadline for next week’s paper is Friday.

Faye Irene Jordan, age 74, of Clarksville, Iowa was born the daughter of Delbert Thomas and Bernice Irene (Rawdon) Schneiderman on September 19, 1941, New Hartford, Iowa. She received her education from the New Hartford Schools and later completed her G.E.D. at Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo. She graduated from N.I.A.C.C. in Mason City, Iowa, with a Certified Nurse’s Assistant Degree.

On December 28, 1958, Faye was united in marriage with Joe Jordan at Immanuel United Church of Christ in Clarksville. The couple made their home in Clarksville where they lived their entire marriage. Through the years Faye had worked at the Clarksville Nursing Home, Bartels Lutheran Home in Waverly, and the Allison Nursing Home, retiring in 2004. She also had volunteered for the Clarksville Ambulance for many years.

Faye was a member of the Immanuel United Church of Christ where she had taught Bible School. She enjoyed taking care of her flower beds, rock gardens, growing grapes and was known for having a bit of a green thumb. She enjoyed collecting salt and pepper shakers, state spoons and garden gnomes. In her spare time, she enjoyed crocheting, knitting, watching Days of Our Lives, and going to the casino and playing bingo. She loved spending time with her family especially with all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was their Grandma transportation specialist.

Faye passed away Sunday, August 7, 2016, at her home in Clarksville from complications of cancer. She was preceded in death by her husband Joe on May 20, 2015; her parents; one sister, JoAnn Murray; and one brother, Robert Schneiderman.

Faye is survived by one son, Bill (special friend, Lori) Jordan of Waterloo; one daughter, Cindy (Ron) Hunt of Clarksville; five grandchildren, Cliff (Margo) Nieman, Cody Nieman, Heather (Kody) Breitbach, Jessica Jordan and Anna Jordan; six great-grandchildren, Jasmine, Zach, Nicole, Julia, Cory and Samantha; four step grandchildren, Christopher (Daisy) Hunt, Anthony (Tavia) Hunt, Andrew Hunt, and Matthew Hunt; seven step great-grandchildren, Riley, Aida, Landon, Josiah, Caden, BraeLynn and Brittney; two brothers, Larry (Carol) Schneiderman of Post Falls, ID, and Donald (Debra) Schneiderman of Apache Junction, AZ; and a sister-in-law, Pam Schneiderman of Allison.

Funeral services were held 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, August 10, 2016, at Immanuel United Church of Christ in Clarksville, with Pastor Linda Myren officiating the service. Organist was Sharon Leerhoff and she accompanied the congregation as they sang “The Old Rugged Cross” and “Precious Lord, Take My Hand.” Special music, “On The Wings Of A Snow White Dove” was played.

‘Only one thing finally matters’

By The Rev. Matthew Versemann Pastor of St. John Lutheran Church, Waverly, Iowa For those of you who do not know, the Lord has called me to be the Pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Decatur, Illinois, and I will be installed there on Sunday, August 28th. As a result, this will be my final article to the Waverly and Butler County Newspapers, which always makes it difficult as to what final message you want to leave with people that you’ve known and lived in the same community with for over ten years. But this is what I would finally like to share with you.

One hundred years from now it will not matter at all in your life…

• What kind of house you lived in, • What kind of car you drove, • What kind of clothes you wore, • How much money you made, • How many possessions you amassed, • How many tattoos you got, ª How ‘cool’ or ‘bad’ you were, • How many trophies you won, • How many sports you excelled in, • How low your golf score was, • How many walleyes you caught (by the way I love walleye fishing), • How many barley pops you could put down,\ • How many thrills you experienced, • How popular you were, • And the list could go on and on and on…

The only thing that will matter in your life one hundred years from now is this: “Did you know and believe that God saved you by His grace in Jesus Christ – Who lived perfectly for you from womb to tomb, so He could give you His perfect righteousness as a free gift; Jesus took your place in hell so you don’t have to go there (many will, but no one has to); Who died your death and shed His blood so that God isn’t mad at you anymore, and Who checked back out of His grave alive on Easter morning, putting death to death. And John 11 records the implications of Christ’s resurrection for each of us. John 11:25-26 says, “I am the Resurrection and the Life; he who believes in Me will live, even if he dies; and whoever lives and believes in Me, will never, ever, ever die.” C.S. Lewis said it all when he said, ‘The salvation question is the only question that finally matters.’

Many people don’t even realize this, but the Good News of God’s Word is that every one of you has already been rescued by God from sin, death, and the devil. God, the Father, came up with the rescue. John 3:16, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” Jesus Christ pulled off the rescue. Galatians 3:10, “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, by becoming a curse for us.” And the Holy Spirit is our UPS man Who delivers the rescue to us through the Word of God, Baptism, and the Lord’s Supper.

1st Corinthians 2 says, “We have received the Spirit, Who is from God, that we may understand everything that God has freely given us.” Everyone, including you, has been rescued. However, that doesn’t mean everyone’s going to heaven. God is a giver, and with a giver you have two options, you can either receive His gifts, or reject His gifts. Sadly, the majority of people are rejecting their acceptance, that God has already accepted them by His grace to us in Christ. Many are refusing their inclusion, that God has already included them in Jesus’ forgiving death. It’s really quite sad. Why many choose to remain in prison (the prison of sin, death, and the devil), when the gates have been opened by Jesus, is really quite mind-boggling. I pray that these words of Jesus will vibrate your eardrums from John 3:16, “God so loved the world – so loved you - that He gave is only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but will have ever-lasting life.” And that Good News is the ONLY thing that will matter in your life, and your children’s lives, 100 years from now (or perhaps VERY MUCH sooner).

There’s your life, folks, which I have had the privilege of sharing in Waverly for over ten years.

Have you ever truly considered how amazing God’s grace really is? Jesus borrowed our guilt, and was found guilty. Jesus borrowed our death, and was put to death in our place. And sinners now borrow his righteousness, forgiveness, and life; and are found innocent in Jesus. ‘Outrageous!’ you say?

Perhaps. But this isn’t your court. This is God’s court. And if God’s verdict on your life, from the cross of Jesus is: “Innocent in Jesus,” don’t argue with God’s grace; take Him up on the deal, and enjoy God’s grace that has already saved you. God bless you, now and always!

DISTRICT COURT

Felony sex abuse conviction meted out as probation completed

Jonah L. Patterson, 27, of Marshalltown, was convicted of third-degree sex abuse, a class C felony, following a third violation of probation on July 14. A deferred judgment, previously granted, was revoked on Aug. 8.

Patterson was sentenced to six years of probation with credit for five years, 364 days served, completing the last day, with probation terminated on Aug. 9, the judgment said.

The original charge stemmed from a May 15, 2009, offense.

An up to 10-year prison sentence remains suspended. After completing his prison sentence, the judgment says he is to serve a special sentence to Iowa Department of Corrections for life with eligibility for parole.

Patterson is to register as a sex offender with the county sheriff of residence or face a $250 civil penalty. His current address was listed as 6 South Fifth Ave., Apt. 5, Marshalltown.

He appears to have family in rural Parkersburg, another Patterson, who was named as an interested party in the case.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an Apple for That

2016

FAMILY FEATURES

I

f youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever stood in the produce aisle and wondered what apple to select among the many varieties available, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone. Apple varieties can differ greatly when it comes to taste, texture, cooking and storage properties, making it important to make the right choice to get the best results for your recipe or pairing.

At appleforthat.com, visitors can type in what they plan to cook â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from broad categories such as salads, smoothies and snacks, down to specific recipes, such as pink applesauce, fritters, candy-coated snacks and more. The website provides information on the perfect apple to use plus suggests recipes and further information â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like tips, health benefits and insights on storage and cooking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; helping make the decision easy, no matter what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making.

Using the right apple can make or break your recipe. For example, some of the best baking apples are Granny Smith and Pink Lady because these apples hold up particularly well under high heat, retaining a firmer texture.

Using a good baking apple is what brings that delicious, subtle crunch to pie and other pastry delights, versus a mushy filling. The special Pinata apple by Stemilt Growers is particularly well suited for baking, as it holds up to heat and boasts classic apple flavor with a tropical twist.

For everyday fruit platters, snacks and appetizers featuring fresh, sliced or chopped apples, Honeycrisp is a fantastic option because of its incredible fracturing crunch and a refreshing sweetness similar to fresh apple cider.

For whipping up a classic chicken salad, try Fuji or Golden Delicious apples, which are among the sweetest around â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the extra sweetness contrasts with the savory ingredients for a more complex flavor. These apples are also ideal for applesauce due to their soft textures.

For more heart-healthy recipes loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C and fiber, such as this easy, two-minute version of a traditional apple tart, which uses Pink Lady apples, visit appleforthat.com.

Science of parenting—

The stress of special needs The demands of parenting often are multiplied for parents of children with special health and behavioral needs, say the Science of Parenting bloggers from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. However, these parents will be better able to provide care for their children if they also take care of themselves.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 15 percent of U.S. families have a chronically ill child with special health needs. The extra demands cause stress that affects the whole family, said blogger Lori Hayungs, a human sciences specialist in family life.

“Caring for a child with special needs can require additional time, which can mean you have less time for your other children, your spouse or aging parents, who also need your attention,” Hayungs said.

“Maybe you’ve been criticized or judged by others who simply do not understand your child’s condition. You may feel isolated from other parents, because how could people who don’t have a child with special needs possibly know what you are going through?”

Hayungs noted.

“Parents often are trying to learn about their child’s disability and find treatments and resources. They’re coping with the emotional and physical challenges of providing care as they coordinate healthcare treatments, advocate for their child and pay for necessary services. No wonder parents of children with special needs often are exhausted and even depressed,” Hayungs said.

Hayungs and the other Science of Parenting bloggers will offer self-care tips and resources that can help parents

cope. They will discuss ways that family members can support each other.

They’ll also talk about when and how to reach out for assistance. In addition they’ll explore resources for reducing stress that are available through ISU Extension and Outreach.

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

COMMUNITY

12 • Thursday, August 18, 2016 NEW FACE from page 1 about skills for empathy, learning and emotion management, she said.

For example, with emotion management: “A lot of kids think it’s not OK to be angry, but (the counselor’s role is) explaining that it’s OK to be angry and it’s how you react to that anger that makes a difference. So, what are safe ways to handle our anger versus what are not-safe ways to handle our anger?”

Asked about bullying, she said it wasn’t tolerated and that children will discuss it in guidance lessons, in DARE in fifth grade, and possibly in a conflict management program and in small groups.

“I strongly feel that Ms. Gribben will be able to support our students, which will help ensure success in the classroom,” Wedeking said.

Gribben is making her home in Waverly.

SAFE from page 1 list of things families need to talk about, if they haven’t.

• Stranger danger: Tell your kids, if they don’t know somebody, to stay away.

• Use the buddy system. It’s safer to travel in pairs, and can lead to better decision-making.

• Accountability: Have a timeline of when and where each child will be outside the home. If the child doesn’t show up when expected, this should cue parents to investigate.

If something happens: • Get away from problem, to safety.

“We’d rather if they had a choice that they got away rather than stuck around trying to get information,” Johnson said.

• Tell someone. Call 911. Find a lawenforcement officer or another trusted adult, such as a teacher, family member or librarian to tell.

“Fortunately, in this part of the world most of our kids probably know some good person,” Johnson said.

• Regarding the timeline, adults should be aware of the chance for simple miscommunications.

Starting each school year, Johnson said, there tend to be a few issues, where it’s not clear if parents asked another family member to pick the child up from school. Family is advised to communicate any changes in pickups and drop-offs among themselves and to school staff, who can inform the child.

“Keeping the school in the loop of any changes in pickup would be a good thing I would strongly recommend,” Johnson said.

“Schools do an excellent job of getting the kids transitioned, but we’re also out there too,” Johnson said. Law enforcement at county and city levels patrols the schools in the morning and afternoon — in addition to providing school resource officers.

Longevity adds to Asparagus’ growing appeal A worldwide crop that is one of the first to be available for harvesting in the spring, asparagus is one of the most popular vegetables grown by home gardeners and commercial producers alike.

The commercial production aspect of asparagus is discussed in a new Iowa State University Extension and Outreach publication written by Ajay Nair, assistant professor and extension vegetable specialist at Iowa State University, and Brandon Carpenter, agriculture specialist with Iowa State University Research and Demonstration Farms.

“Commercial Asparagus Production” (HORT 3059) is available online through the Extension Store.

“More and more growers who are entering into the production arena are in it for the long term and asparagus is a long term plant,” Nair said. “These new growers see that the local foods movement is going to continue to expand so they are thinking about the kinds of crops consumers in the state want to buy.

Since asparagus comes into the market first in the spring, growers can receive a better price for the vegetable before other crops begin to reach harvest.”

The publication highlights all aspects of production, from site selection to post harvest care. An in-depth discussion of hybrid cultivars is included and can be used by

producers to determine the type of asparagus that is best to be planted.

“Asparagus has both male and female plants; we want to make sure that growers understand the difference and that they plant the male one,” Nair said. “Male plants establish quickly, produce higher yields and don’t make berries which can consume energy that would otherwise go into the crown.”

Proper fertilization, weed management practices and how to combat insect pests also are covered.

The most common pests in asparagus are discussed in detail, including management strategies that can help keep the crop healthy.

No asparagus should be harvested during the first two years after planting, with the first harvest coming early in the plant’s third year. Starting with the fourth year, asparagus has a six to seven week window for harvesting, resulting in 22-24 harvests per season.

“This crop does not provide instant gratification, but once it is established it will yield for the next 15-20 years,” said Nair. “Taking care of the crop initially will allow it to establish and adapt well to our soil and weather conditions and allow for sustained yields.”

Information on yields from field trials conducted at Iowa State University Research and Demonstration Farms also are included in the publication.

ALLISON — The city of Dumont seeks to abate a safety nuisance a commercial property is causing downtown. Brian Miller, attorney for the city, filed a civil petition to this end on Aug. 8 at the Butler County Courthouse in Allison.

The hearing was set for Sept. 6 at 11:30 a.m., following an order filed Aug. 12 by Judge Christopher Foy. The alleged nuisance property is at 509 Main St., Dumont. It is titled to Naturlich Health and Beauty Corp.

Modern Buildings of Waverly inspected the property at the city’s expense and concluded the buildings on it must be demolished to protect the welfare and safety of the public.

The building south of 509 Main, titled Outlaws Bar & Grill, was forced to close by its insurance company because of the hazard posed by falling debris from Naturlich, states the petition.

The neighbor to the north, whose buildings share a wall, is First Security Bank & Trust.

The registered agent for Naturlich lives in Phoenix, Ariz. and is registered with the state of Arizona but not with the Iowa Secretary of State, the petition says.

According to the petition, Dumont Code Enforcement Officer Arlyn Miller has left email and phone messages for the Naturlich agent with no

Show and Shine Car Show returns to Parkersburg

PARKERSBURG – One of Iowa’s largest classic car shows returns to Parkersburg Aug. 21 as Jim Zierath hosts the annual Show and Shine Car Show.

More than 200 cars are pre-registered for this year’s show, with as many as 250 cars expected to appear at Miracle Park from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This is the 13th year of the show in its current form after Zierath had hosted a more formal show for five years previously.

The “show and shine” concept is uncommon to car shows in that there

is no voting on favorite cars by the participants or public. Instead Zierath picks cars that will receive trophies.

“I know almost every car that comes to the show, I know most of the people that come to the show, I know there are some guys that are trophy hounds, think they should have a trophy every time they go to a show and I don’t believe in that. The last thing (my wife) Sue and I could care about is if we get a trophy. If we get a trophy when we go to a show she makes it up and we give it

for respondents to show cause why it shouldn’t appoint someone to abate

the public nuisance, and is seeking an emergency or expedited hearing.

Butler County holds a certificate for tax sale to the property, the petition states.

Typically, anyone who buys property at tax sale has three years to take deed to it. However, the county is an exception.

“County tax purchase certificates, unlike certificates purchased by others at tax sales, never expire, so title doesn’t transfer to the County by tax deed until the County decides it [is] appropriate to proceed with the necessary steps to transfer it into the County’s name,” Butler County Attorney Greg Lievens said in an email.

“If no others bid at the tax sale, the County has to put the purchase certificate in its name,” Lievens said.

“Since this is forced on the County like that, the law says the County doesn’t ever have to put title in its name. However, it usually does at some point and then offers the property for sale at auction. Many times this happens when someone has finally expressed an interest in the property.

“As you can imagine, if no one else is bidding on the property at tax sale, and the current owner continues to not pay the current taxes owed, the property is not very desirable in its present condition,” Lievens said.

away.”

Zierath found the the show and shine concept in a magazine.

“They had cruise-ins and they had their favorite picks,” he said. “The editor went out and picked their favorite type of car, and I thought that’s a good idea because it takes the competition out of it and takes away the pressure people have to go out there and vote for the cars.”

Categories include but are not limited to favorite Ford, GM and Mopar, Favorite late model Ford, GM and Mopar, favorite motorcycle, truck, independent, engine bay, street rod and paint job.

Zierath said his favorite cars tend to be the ones he remembers seeing as he grew up, including the 1936 and 1940 Ford Coupes, the 1957 Ford and the 1939 Mercury because that was the year he was born.

Cars are expected from at least five states as well as Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Zierath said he’s not positive what attracts the car buffs, though it is clear they are attracted to the show.

One of the things that seems to attract the car owners is the Legion breakfast that is always held the day of the show. Last year the Legion fed more than 800 people the day of the show.

Each participant in the show pays an entry fee for which they receive a T-shirt, and dash plaque. This year’s plaque will feature the names of three car show regulars who passed away since the previous show, Judy Herd, Joyce Peterson and Josh Smith.

“We always try to do something like that for the people,” Zierath said.

The show also donates money to worthy causes. Since the show’s inception it has donated more than $65,000 to organizations including but not limited to the Parkersburg Fire Department, Kothe Memorial Library, local Rotary and Lions Clubs and Parkersburg tornado relief. Proceeds from this year’s show will go to Northeast Iowa Special Olympics, the A-P Food Pantry and other Parkersburg civic organizations.

Farmland Leasing Meeting set for Tuesday, Aug. 23 in Allison

More than half of Iowa farmland is rented, and the percentage of farmland rented has increased over time due to the changing demographics of farmland owners. Iowa farmland cash rental rates decreased overall this past year. Farmland values have also decreased.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach in Butler County is hosting a Farmland Leasing Meeting on Tuesday, August 23, at 1:30 p.m. to address questions that landowners, tenants, or other interested individuals have about farmland leasing.

The meeting will be held at the Butler County Extension office located at 320 N. Main Street in Allison. The meeting will be approximately 2 ½ hours in length.

Attendees will gain an understanding of current cash rental rates and factors driving next year’s rents such as market trends and input costs.

They will learn how to determine fair, fixed and flexible cash rents, family and landlord-tenant communication, writing and terminating a farm lease and production costs – farmland lease considerations.

Registration is $20 per individual if pre-registered but $25 per individual for walk-ins. Pre-register by calling the Butler County Extension office at 319-267-2707.

Similar meetings are being held across Iowa. Other locations can be found by contacting the Butler County Extension office or the ISUEO calendar of events at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/calendar/.
