Legendary Wartburg wrestling coach urges A-P faculty to reach for the stars

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — Jim Miller led Wartburg College to 10 NCAA Division III wrestling titles. Friday he shared some of the secrets to his success with members of the Aplington-Parkersburg Community School District staff.

Miller was the speaker as the District kicked off the 2016-17 school year with an event for both staff and members of the Aplington and Parkersburg business community. He spoke briefly at a kickoff breakfast and then at length at the high school auditorium.

“Years ago I read a stat that 95 percent of Americans have been positively influenced by a teacher or coach in their lifetime,” Miller told the teachers.

“So really, besides parenting, you’re in probably the most influential occupation in the world.”

Wartburg College was anything but a national athletic power when Miller began his coaching career there in 1991. It had never won a national title in any sport. Since then it’s won 20.

“Really, success came down to breaking down obstacles,” he said.

“Success came down to helping student athletes realize their ability to get over the next obstacle right in front of them.

“We all have obstacles we have to beat, and that’s really my personal story, and it’s been the story of Wartburg wrestling,” he said.

Miller had never so much as qualified for the state wrestling tournament in high school but went on to win a pair of national titles in college. When he began at Wartburg the school had never won an Iowa Conference wrestling title, yet after finishing second his first year at the helm the school went on to win 21 straight.

“They were not thinking at a high

level (before that time),” he told the teachers. “It was easy to go through the motions and settle for mediocrity.

Does that remind you of any students you might have? How you think and how your students think has a lot to do with how they do. It also has a lot to do with the effect they have on the others that they’re with.”

Miller talked at length about convincing students to set high standards for themselves in what they do and how they do it, no matter how they feel about the work it might take to reach their goals.

“Whether you feel like it or not is irrelevant,” he said. “When are you going to feel like studying? You do it anyway. That’s what I call the ‘do it anyway’ culture. It became so ingrained (for the Wartburg wrestling team) that I didn’t always have to be the one that was talking about do it anyway. It’s the guys on the team, it’s the coaches …”

He also talked about not putting limits on what students can accomplish, using an example of a student he coached at Charles City who he first identified as slow and maybe even a little soft and not that that athletic.

“My prediction was that, ‘He’s going to make our team before he’s done,’” Miller said. “I fast forward three years and this young man, he wasn’t so soft any more. He had put his head down and worked and he was 220 pounds he looked pretty dang good and was athletic. He makes our team as a sophomore.”

The student, Mark Sindlinger, went on to win three straight state high school championships, was a two-time NCAA All-American and is a member of the Iowa Wrestling Hall of Fame.

“Don’t pick out too soon who you think your best kids are going to be,” he said.

Miller retired from coaching three years ago though he remains on the Wartburg staff as a teacher and mentor to the university’s coaches. He also speaks for the college.

“I love this,” he said. “My whole career has been teaching and coaching and affecting kids’ lives, young people’s lives, and anything I can do to help that progress, help other people, I love to do it.”

Miller coached seven years at Charles City High School and eight as an assistant coach at UNI before becoming head coach at Wartburg, where his teams went 413-34-4 in dual meets.

“I thought it might be a whole lot different (at the different levels), but you know what, the thrills are the same, the disappointments are the same, you’re just working with a little bit older kids,” he said. “It was a challenge.

You’ve got recruiting to deal with at the college level and some other challenges, but everywhere I was along the way I was lucky because I had a great experience. Charles City they loved wrestling, UNI they did, Wartburg they did …”

Miller said he misses the interaction with kids that he had while coaching as well as some of the road trips, though there are other parts he doesn’t miss.

“I still get nervous when I go into a meet,” he said. “I don’t take it home with me, which is good. My stress level’s down. I still have a lot of ownership in the program.”

Wartburg’s success has continued since Miller’s retirement, as the Knights have won two of the last three Division III national titles.

“If it’s something that you’re a part of in some way, and you’re contributing, you feel really good about that,” he said.

Recently, the Iowa Department of Management released the 2016-2017 tax levies for cities across the State of Iowa. In Butler County, Bristow and Parkersburg remain the two cities with the lowest city tax rates.

Of all the factors that make up a resident’s total property taxes, only the city tax levy portion is controlled by the city. Other tax contributors included in the residential property tax formula are described below: Consolidated Tax Rate: The consolidated tax rate is determined by adding together the tax rate levies voted on by all of the taxing jurisdictions. These include Butler County, the school district(s), the city, and other taxing jurisdictions. These tax levy rates are decided upon using guidelines set by the State of Iowa.

Assessed Value: The Butler County Assessor’s Office determines the value of the properties within Butler County based on the approximate fair market value of those properties.

RollBack Figures: The rollback is the percentage of the total assessed valuation of your residence that is actually taxed. For example, if you home is valued at $100,000.00 and the rollback percentage is 55.6259%, the property taxes paid are based on a rollback value of $55,625.90. The State of Iowa determines this rollback percentage on a yearly basis. Note: the rollback percentage for businesses, multi-residential properties, and agri-

cultural properties are different than the rollback for residences.

Homestead Credit: A property tax credit is given to homeowners by the State of Iowa on the first $4,850 of valuation. Other tax credits may also be applicable including military and elderly/low income credits.

1,000: This number represents how the rate is applied to the valuation. The tax rate is applied to every $1,000 of valuation.

Total residential property taxes throughout Butler County are calculated using the following formula: (Assessed Value x Roll Back – Homestead Credit) x the Consolidated Tax Rate / 1000 = city taxes paid.

For a house assessed at $100,000 in the city of Parkersburg, the city’s portion of your property taxes for this fiscal year would be calculated as follows: (($100,000 x 55.6259%) $4,850) x 13.91967 / 1000 = $706.78 City Tax Rates for Butler County City Population City Tax Levy Bristow 160 13.32641 Parkersburg 1,870 13.91967 Clarksville 1,130 14.94172 Aredale 74 15.33348 Aplington 1,439 15.37192 Dumont 637 15.45834 Shell Rock 1,296 15.59364 New Hartford 1,128 15.79659 Greene 516 16.11693 Allison 1,029 19.32781

KidQuest adopts tobaccofree facility policy Butler County Public Health would like to congratulate KidQuest Preschool & Daycare in Aplington for adopting a tobacco-free facility policy.

This new policy went into effect on June 15, 2016 and includes all tobacco products, as well as electronic smoking devices. This policy provides a 100 percent tobacco-free environment for staff, visitors, and children.

To adopt a tobacco-free policy like this was an easy decision for KidQuest Preschool & Daycare. We want to provide a healthy learning and work environment for students, staff, parents and guests. This also eliminates the danger of second-hand smoke on campus that affects our young people, says director Kim Scallon KidQuest Preschool-Daycare will have educational materials on hand to provide to staff and parents that would

like to be tobacco free. Signage indicating KidQuest Preschool & Daycare is now 100 percent tobacco and nicotine free will be posted on all doors.

Additionally, information will be available about Quitline Iowa. Quitline Iowa provides free counseling and support to help individuals create an easy-to-follow quit plan to be tobacco free. Or for additional information on Quitline Iowa please contact Butler County Public Health office to speak to Patty Nordmeyer.

“Staying on top of the tobacco industry is a never ending battle I face through my position as Tobacco Cessation Program Coordinator” says Patty Nordmeyer. It is great to see the Butler county Daycare/Preschools adjusting their policies to keep up-todate on growing tobacco concerns.

Iowa’s sunflower fields will be busy places over the next few weeks as doves begin to gather for migration and rows of sunflowers get mowed in preparation for the opening of dove hunting season.

Iowa’s dove hunting season begins Sept. 1. A list of wildlife areas that have one or more managed dove plots on them is available online at www. iowadnr.gov/doves.

Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife research biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, said hunters should scout those areas ahead of time to learn how many doves are using the area and their flight patterns, and check if the area requires non toxic shot.

“Dove hunting has a social aspect to it and usually has a lot of action which makes it a great opportunity to include kids or novice hunters with the group,” Bogenschutz said. “When hunters are finished for the day, we would like to see them leave the area better than they

found it by picking up all their shells and any other trash they find. We want to set a good example of taking care of our natural areas.”

The set up is pretty simple – bring a bucket, lots of shells, set up where doves are feeding or flying through and sit still. Doves will be active early and late in the day.

“Hilltops, wide open areas, areas with small grains like winter wheat, millet, oats, milo, or the pasture ground around watering ponds, silage fields or weedy areas are attractive to doves too,” Bogenschutz said. “And try to blend in to the background.”

Shooting hours are one half hour before sunrise to sunset. The daily bag limit is 15 doves with a possession limit of 45. Hunters are required to have registered with the harvest information program (HIP) before hunting migratory game birds.

An estimated 11,400 hunters harvested 117,000 doves in 2015.

Iowa’s rabbit season opens September 3 Iowa’s cottontail rabbit season opens Sept. 3. Cottontails can be found in every county but higher populations are found in southeast and south central Iowa.

Rabbit hunting is most commonly done with a .22 rifle or shotgun in areas with shrubs, brush piles or field edges. Most of the hunting takes place later in the fall and winter.

Iowa Fishing Report

Claradean Claasen Claradean Claassen, 90, of Parkersburg, was born the daughter of Uffa and Bertha (Goldhorn) Meents on January 18, 1926, Grundy County, near Holland. She received her education from a rural country school near her home.

On October 22, 1949, Clara was united in marriage with John Lewis Claassen at the Colfax Presbyterian Church, rural Holland. They made their home for a short time in Waterloo, Iowa. The following February they began farming in Butler County and then in Grundy County. Clara helped John with the farming and raised their family. In 1986, they retired and moved to Parkersburg.

Clara was an active and faithful member of the First Congregational Church in Parkersburg, where she taught Sunday School and Bible School, was a Primary Sunday School Superintendent, a Deaconess, and a member of the Ladies Guild and Women of Prayer. She enjoyed raising a large garden and tending to her flowers. She loved her family and one of her greatest joys was spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Clara passed away Monday, August 15, 2016, at Grundy County Memorial Hospital Long Term Care in Grundy Center. She was preceded in death by her husband, John Claassen on June 28, 2004; her parents; one sister, Ivadean Dieken; and three brothers, John, Paul, and Alvin Meents.

Clara is survived by two sons, Rev. David (Diann) Claassen, of Florida; and Mark (Sheila) Claassen, of Parkersburg; one daughter, Rhonda (Edward) Parker, of Urbandale; seven grandchildren, Julie (Victor) Zaragoza, Dan (Teri) Claassen, Sarah (Tony) Shelton, Tracy (Joe) Neymeyer, Jason (Becca) Parker, Ryan (Laura) Parker, and Heather (Brodie) Thomas; 18 great-grandchildren by birth and 15 by guardianship; and one sister-in-law, Grace Meents, of Grundy Center.

Online Hunting Atlas offers places to go DES MOINES — Iowa hunters have been using the interactive Iowa hunting atlas to find new places to go hunting. The hunting atlas features more than 680,000 acres of public hunting land that is owned by the state, county or federal governments.

It’s available online at www.iowadnr. gov/hunting.

This tool allows hunters to see which zone the public area is in, type of shot allowed, wildlife likely to be found, get an overhead look at the terrain and a downloadable or printable map. The mobile version of the atlas will show hunter location on the area if granted permission.

The atlas view from above allows hunters to zoom in on an area, see how to get there, the lay of the land and where one parcel of public hunting land is in relation to others and print

off maps.

Information is updated as public hunting lands are acquired.

The hunting atlas also includes private land enrolled in the Iowa Habitat and Access Program (IHAP) where private landowners receive assistance to improve habitat on their land in exchange for opening the property for hunter access. The program has 25,700 acres where hunters can access private property.

Site maps are available at www.iowadnr.gov/ihap showing boundaries, which species would be most likely attracted to the habitat and the location of a comment box where hunters are encouraged to leave their feedback on the program.

Walk-in public hunting through IHAP is available between September 1 and May 31.

Squirrel season begins September 3 Squirrel hunters should expect to find an average to above average squirrel population over most of the state, with higher squirrel numbers in areas with higher acorn production.

Squirrel season opens Sept. 3.

Fox squirrels can be found anywhere there are a few acres of trees, but gray squirrels are generally limited to the heavily forested areas in eastern and southern Iowa.

Hunting opportunities for squirrels are excellent because hunting pressure is low. Because of the lack of competition, squirrel hunting is a good way to introduce novice hunters and youth to the outdoors.

“If you spook a squirrel or mess up something, there’s probably another squirrel over the next hill. Young hunters can learn and fail which is how many of us learned our woodsmanship skills – without the pressure of a short season or competition from other hunters,” said Jim Coffey, forest wildlife technician with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

“Squirrel hunters could have the area all to themselves.”

Squirrel hunting is done by either sitting-and-waiting, or by still-hunting.

The sit-and-wait technique is similar to turkey hunting. Hunters will sit near likely feeding areas, such as beneath oak, walnut, or hickory trees or along corn-forest edges and many will call them. Plan to wear plenty of camouflage and consider a face net to avoid bugs.

The still-hunting technique is employed by slowly walking through forested areas and stopping frequently to watch for feeding squirrels, then sneaking up on them.

The best hunting times usually are during the morning and afternoon feeding hours.

Squirrel season runs through January 31, 2017. The daily bag limit is 6 (fox and gray squirrels combined) and the possession limit is 12. There are no restrictions on shooting hours.

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News Review Two or three of my columns tend to be the same from year to year. One comes the week of high school graduation, when I share a few words of advice to seniors, and another comes at Thanksgiving when I share some of the things I’m thankful for from the previous year. This is the third, and probably the easiest column I write all year. That’s because most of the words are not actually mine.

When I was in high school, I remember WHO Radio’s Van Hardin reading a poem on the first day of school as his daughter went off to school for the first time. It was a moving poem by an unknown author about a little girl that summed up the feeling of that day as well as any words I could come up with would.

To this day, with his daughter long since grown up and likely with children of her own, he still shares the words with his listeners.

As imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I also enjoy sharing this with my readers each year.

“I Trust You’ll Treat Her Well” Author Unknown World, I bequeath to you today one little girl in a crispy dress.. with two blue eyes...and a happy laugh that ripples all day long, and a batch of light blonde hair that bounces in the sunlight when she runs. I Trust You’ll Treat Her Well.

She’s slipping out of the backyard of my heart this morning and skipping off down the street to her first day at school.

And never again will she be completely mine...

Prim and proud, she’ll wave a young and independent hand this morning, and say goodbye and walk with little-lady steps to the nearby schoolhouse...

Gone will be the chattering little hoyden who lived only for play, and gone will be the delightful little gamin who roamed the yard like a proud princess with nary a care in her little world.

Now, she will learn to stand in lines...and wait by the alphabet for her name to be called...

She will learn to tune her little-girl ears for the sound of school bells, and for deadlines...

She will learn to giggle and gossip... and to look at the ceiling in a disinterested way when the little boy across the aisle sticks out his tongue.

Now she will learn to be jealous...and now she will learn how it is to feel hurt inside...and now she will learn how not to cry. No longer will she have time to sit on the front porch steps on a summer day and watch while an ant scurries across a crack in the sidewalk...

Or will she have time to pop out of bed with the dawn to kiss lilac blossoms in the morning dew. Now she will worry about important things...like grades...and what dresses to wear...and whose best friend is whose. Now she will worry about the little boy who pulls her hair at recess time... and staying after school...and which little girls like which little boys...And the magic of books and knowledge will soon take the place of the magic of her blocks and dolls.

And she’ll find her new heroes. For five full years I’ve been her sage and Santa Claus...her pal and playmate...her parent and friend. Now, alas, she’ll learn to share her worship and adoration with her teachers (which is only right).

No longer will her parents be the smartest, and greatest in the world.

Today, when the first school bell rings, she’ll learn how it is to be a member of the group...with all its privileges, and, of course, its disadvantages, too.

She’ll learn in time that proper young ladies don’t laugh out loud... or keep frogs in pickle jars in bedrooms...or watch ants scurry across the cracks in a summer sidewalk...

Today, she’ll begin to learn for the first time that all who smile at her are not her friends. That “the group” can be a demanding mistress... and I’ll stand on the porch and watch her start out on the long, long journey to becoming a woman So World, I bequeath to you today one little girl in a crispy dress, with two blue eyes, a happy laugh that ripples all day long, and a batch of light blonde hair that bounces in the sunlight when she runs.

I Trust You’ll Treat Her Well.

Here’s hoping you have a little tear in your eye, particularly those of you who have a son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter or a family friend going off to school for the first time this week.

Letter to the Editor Beck responds to Eclipse-News Review story Now in response to the article by Aplington city council, I started to write a real long rebuttal to what was written. I had written quite a long thing defending myself what all of a sudden I realized that I didn’t have to defend myself for voicing my and several others concerns and all the city counsel (sic) was doing was to defend

themselves for not listening. I close with this simple thing for everyone, go to the city counsel (sic) meeting to see for yourself how little they will listen to you and how little they are doing for you.

Ready for Fall?

With summer coming to a close and schools once again back in session, it’s time to focus on fall. Sweatshirts, football and cooler weather! I am so done with this hot, humid weather; spent yesterday at the Iowa State Fair and held either a 10-month-old or an almost 3-year-old most of the day. They were good but Grandma was hot! Without a doubt, fall is the BEST season of the year for me!

Of course, fall also brings the end of one 4-H year and the beginning of the next year. This means record keeping needs to be finished up and ready to turn in to leaders. My kids knew they needed to have record books done before school started because there was a very good chance they wouldn’t get done otherwise! Guess I was a mean mom because my kids didn’t have the option of not doing a record book each year!

It is also the season to finish up with the last round of summer meetings, workshops and open houses before the harvest begins. Anybody out there think harvest WILL NOT be early this year?

• We have the Research Farm at Nashua celebrating its 40th anniversary this year with an Open House on Friday, August 26 from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

They have an awesome list of speakers from “Dr. Doom” Chad Hart to “Mr. Forestry” Jesse Randall. There is no cost for this Open House and everybody is welcome!

• Another learning opportunity is coming our way on August 25 at Heartland Acres in Independence. This will be the closest opportunity to learn more about the Veterinary Feed Directive, which will go into effect this winter. It will be held at the Heartland Acres Agribition Center from 9 a.m. to noon. Please call 319-472-4739 to register.

• Also coming up is an Open House at the MSB Family Farm in Plainfield on Sept. 7 from 4 – 8 p.m. They invite the public to come and learn about the technologies and practices at work on today’s farms and the impact that the agricultural industry has on the local community and state’s economy.

For me, fall means FOOTBALL! I am trying to work three grandsons’ games into my schedule, so will see how that works out. Hard to believe next year I will have a grandson playing at the high school level! Kids just don’t stay little very long, so I am learning that Grandma needs to take time off to watch as many games as I can before those years are over.

Are you ready for fall? Mark your calendars to take advantage of all these learning opportunities as well as cheer on your favorite football team!

Just a “Nothing”

By JO LEWIS Sitting in my recliner, enjoying my cup of coffee – I have time to think about a lot of things in my life and the world. I’m waiting for my husband to wake up, sometimes it is 10 a.m., but that is ok. I wanted to name this article “just a peon,” but then I thought I need to think better of myself. I look around and read the newspapers, and see and read all the fun things people do. I think they must be really happy.

Thinking about all of this, I realize I am not an active person in any clubs any more. I do go to church and sit in the same pew every Sunday.

The moral of my story is that I am not complaining about my life. I have done all those things people are doing – went to college twice and got 2 degrees. How may have done that?

Raised 4 kids, took care of 4 grandchildren, had s wonderful life with my husband for 60 years. Maybe I need to look at myself differently.

I frown when I am in a group of people, maybe a restaurant or another area, and hear people put some one down! Maybe it was a simple speeding ticket, a divorce, or even when someone has lost a loved one. I think I said one time before it is better to be quiet and listen.

Being just a nothing, yes I probably

think about how much better someone is financially, better looking, or whatever! But in the end, we could almost say we are all in the same motor boat and in the end our destination will be the same.

Please, I don’t want to hear people complain about how I try to put people up a pedestal by saying good things about them. We are senior citizen and enjoy everything that people do for us. The young man who came to weed eat our weeds, he isn’t a “nothing.” The ladies who deliver “Meals on Wheels.” The man who delivers oxygen to our house. The postmaster, what a blessing to have the Post Office look so neat! And the plants hanging downtown. Everyone is a “something” to speak, in their own way!

Take a day and think positive when you get up. Do something nice or say something nice to someone who looks down and see how it makes them feel.

Maybe you will realize how lucky you are that you can be a something.

When you go to church next Sunday, pray for all the people who are spending their life in jail. Think of all our loved ones in the nursing homes, how they must feel. Think and pray for our veterans that have been deployed.

They are special!

Aprons This may sound like a strange title for an article, but it was an event many (42) women from the surrounding communities enjoyed.

The Christian Women’s Club meeting is held every third Monday of every other month at the Parkersburg Methodist Church. It begins with a delicious catered lunch, followed by a special feature and a speaker who gives an awesome talk and a testimony.

This August meeting was special, as the feature was a parade of aprons.

Each lady attending wore one of their favorite or an antique apron passed down from their mother or even great grandmother. A history of aprons was given and then a skit that showed how the aprons were used. For example, carrying apples picked up from under the tree, wiping a child’s rears or cleaning a nose. Also, carrying eggs collected from the chicken house or waving to the men in the fields to come in for lunch.

Aprons were then judged for the most colorful apron, the oldest apron, which was over 100 years old, and a Christmas apron. Many different aprons were on display, and discussion was held on the usage.

We have more openings at the tables to sit; come and enjoy the fellowship and laughter, as well as meeting a new friend or two and then listening to the speaker telling about how God has helped her through her trials such as we all have.

It is not necessary to put on your fancy clothes; come as you feel comfortable. Many women who have just moved into the community perhaps do not realize about the meeting and the work the committee has to do to keep each meeting planned.

Our speakers several times have come from different states such as South Dakota, Nebraska, Illinois and Michigan and have had training given to them by Stonecraft, which is the organization in charge. This meeting is for all ages and I am sure if transportation is needed we will pick you up.

Part of the money you pay for the meal is used for the expenses and paying to use the church.

Every woman, young and old, is welcome. Please call 319-346-1060 if you have questions, or watch The Eclipse for more information. God bless, and we hope to see you in October.

Cookin’ for a Cause supports D-NH preschool State Bank’s Dike office held a “Cookin’ for a Cause” event on Friday, August 12th to support the DikeNew Hartford Elementary Preschool.

Bank staff served brick oven pizza to approximately 220 people raising $1,917, plus the Bank’s match for a total contribution of $2,417 toward the Dike-New Hartford Elementary Preschool.

“DNH Preschool greatly appreciates

the opportunity that State Bank provided for our students,” said D-NH preschool teacher Suzanne Perez. “We thank the public for coming to support us and spending their lunch hour.”

To date, the total amount contributed as a result from State Bank’s “Cookin’ for a Cause” (CFAC) event series is over $35,000 to nineteen local charities across each of the markets served by the bank. Along with the Dike-New

Hartford Elementary Preschool, State Bank’s CFAC events have helped to raise funds for the Dike-New Hartford Booster Club and the Beyond Pink Team.

“Here at State Bank we’re built on a foundation of giving back to the communities that have helped us achieve success,” said State Bank Vice President Linda Ohrt. “But we know this event series has been a community ef-

fort and we appreciate the generosity we see from local supporters. We’re proud to support such a worthy cause this year, the Dike-New Hartford Elementary Preschool.”

Along with State Bank’s recent “Cookin’ for a Cause” event in Dike, they also held events in Calmar, Janesville, New Hampton and Waverly throughout the summer.

We owe a special thanks to our very generous Parkersburg Chamber! The Kothe Memorial Library is the recipient of their donation of an AED, Automatic External Defibrillator. The AED can be used to treat the most common causes of sudden cardiac arrest, including ventricular fibrillation.

Sudden cardiac arrest is a condition that occurs when the heart unexpectedly stops pumping. According to the American Red Cross, “Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. Over 350,000 people will suffer from sudden cardiac arrest this year. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere and at any age. An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest and is an easy to operate tool for someone with no medical background. The average response time for first responders once 911 is called is 8-12 minutes. For each minute defibrillation is delayed, the chance of survival is reduced approximately 10%.” Library staff members have been trained in the use of the AED, and we’re thankful to the Chamber for providing this life-saving device for the community.

The STRIPS project, Science-based Trials of Rowcrops Integrated with Prairie Strips, focuses on planting a small percentage of a field into strips of perennial prairie plants to reduce soil erosion, water runoff, and to create habitat for pollinators. Iowa farmers are now applying this conservation practice on their own fields for the benefits that the research results have shown.

Saturated buffers extend the many benefits of streamside buffers, such as removal of sediment, phosphorus and pesticides while providing more abundant wildlife habitat. A saturated buffer diverts a portion of the drainage water into lateral drainage tile installed along the buffer, increasing the shallow groundwater level and providing nutrient removal. With the addition of the saturated buffer portion, additional nitrate is removed from the groundwater through denitrification and plant uptake, improving downstream water quality.

The field day site will be at the J. H. Roadman Memorial Park, located 1.5 miles west of Dike on County Road D-19 (160th St.). The park is located

on the north side of the road.

The workshop is free and open to the public, but reservations are suggested to ensure adequate space and food.

State, federally funded cover crop acres increase 22 percent Iowa farmers planted about 64,000 more cover crop acres funded through state and federal incentives in the fall of 2015 compared to fall 2014 – a 22 percent increase.

Iowans planted 291,267 cover crop acres last fall compared to 227,256 in 2014 with help from state and federal conservation programs. The numbers include funding from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) through the Water Quality Initiative (WQI), State CostShare, and local watershed projects.

USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides farmers assistance for cover crop through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP).

Cover crops such as cereal rye, winter wheat and hairy vetch are helping farmers provide ground cover and living roots in the soil throughout the year. This helps improve soil health, water infiltration, and soil biology, reduce soil erosion and weed competition, trap excess nutrients in the soil, and even provide livestock grazing.

Barb Stewart, state agronomist for NRCS in Iowa, credits the increase

in cover crop acres to the amount of outreach and education to famers from conservation groups throughout the state, along with more farmers paying attention to soil health and water quality the past several years.

“A few years back many farmers were more careful, experimenting with 10- and 20-acre cover crop plots,” said Stewart. “Many of those farmers are now planting hundreds of acres of cover crops, and even growing and harvesting their own cover crop seed.”

Washington County in southeast Iowa stands out in total acres planted in fall 2015, with twice as many (19,974) than any other Iowa county through conservation programs. District Conservationist Tony Maxwell, who runs the NRCS office in Washington, says the conservation culture has a lot to do with their success. “We have a long history of early adoption of conservation practices, like no-till,” said Maxwell. “That has made the transition to cover crops much easier.”

Maxwell says challenges Washington County farmers have faced in the past are helping them overcome any difficulties establishing cover crops.

“Many issues farmers face with cover crops, such as the carbon penalty as-

sociated with high amounts of organic matter and planting into heavy residue in cool, wet conditions, are problematic in no-till corn, too,” he said. “We have experienced no-tillers who have faced these challenges before, and can overcome them much easier.”

NRCS and IDALS are both anticipating cover crop acres to increase by about 15 percent next year in Iowa, based on 2016 program signups. “We continue to see interest in cover crops grow,” said Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey, “both from farmers brand new to the practice as well as those who have been doing it for a couple years.”

Northey says even in challenging economic times in agriculture, farmers are seeing the benefits cover crops provide and putting their own money toward cover crops and other practices focused on protecting water quality and improving soil health.

Conservation Board plans Dutch oven cooking class In pioneer times, the Dutch oven was one of the most valued pieces of cookware. It could be used to boil, fry, or bake. To help you learn and experience the wonders of Dutch Oven cooking, the Butler County Conservation Board is sponsoring a Basic Dutch Oven cooking program on Saturday, August 27, at 10:00 a.m., at the Shell Rock Recreation Area Shelter House.

During the program, participants will be divided into groups and each

group will be in charge of cooking part of a meal in their Dutch oven. While waiting the coals to heat, members of the Iowa Prairie Rose Dutch Oven Society will present a Basic Dutch Ovens 101 program after which participants will cook their assigned part of the meal. While the food cooks, participants will learn about how to properly care for cast iron cookware and have a little time to relax and share stories.

At the end of the program, participants will have the opportunity to sample all

the foods they have prepared.

The Basic Dutch Oven Cooking program is a free public program, open to the general public. The program is expected to take approximately 2 hours.

Shell Rock Recreation Area is located on West Main Street in Shell Rock, Iowa. For more information about this or other programs of the Butler County Conservation Board, please contact Steve Martin at (319) 278-1130

Recent A-P grad shows recipe for a winner

By MIRA SCHMITT-CASH Mid-America Publishing DES MOINES — It turned out that Danielle Eisentrager had the recipe for a photo that stole the hearts of judges at the Iowa State Fair.

Eisentrager of Dumont was awarded for Grand Champion Photo Overall during the 2016 Iowa State Fair Photography Contest. She also won Best of Show – Photography at the FFA show. While packing for the move to Central College in Pella, where she’s studying psychology and art therapy, Eisentrager, a member of the Apling-

ton-Parkersburg FFA Chapter, shared the components of her winning photo.

Kittens, climbing on a toy tractor.

As it happened, Danielle was working outdoors with the farm animals, alongside her mom, Deb Eisentrager.

Deb encouraged her to get her camera, and Danielle returned with it and sat for 15 to 20 minutes, photographing the kittens.

“I would make a clicking noise so they would look over,” she said.

During that time, she took “probably 100” photos.

The one she selected shows the kit-

Knowing that she enjoys photography, some years ago, her family acquired for her a Cannon Rebel EOS T3i camera.

The fruits of her labor are borne out across the county and state.

She has photos displayed at the Shell Rock Clinic, the Community Nursing Home in Clarksville and a The Machine She restaurant in Urbandale. Her photography has also been featured in “Our Iowa” Magazine.

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Crops generally remain in good condition statewide with 83 percent of corn and soybeans rated as good or excellent. The recent storms caused some isolated damage, but also brought some needed moisture during this critical time of the growing season for soybeans,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia.

The report summary follows here: CROP REPORT Above normal precipitation across much of Iowa limited fieldwork to 4.3 days suitable for the week ending August 14, 2016, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Activities for the week included cutting hay and fungicide and insecticide applications. Spraying activities were wrapping up in some areas.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 7 percent short, 83 percent adequate and 9 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 9 percent short, 83 percent adequate and 6 percent surplus.

Eighty percent of the corn crop was in or beyond the dough stage, 5 days ahead of last year and 10 days ahead of the 5-year average. Twenty-three percent of Iowa’s corn crop reached the dent stage, 3 days ahead of normal. Corn condition rated 83 percent good to excellent. Soybeans blooming reached 97 percent, 8 days ahead of the previous year. Eighty-seven percent of soybeans were setting pods, with a few scattered reports of soybeans starting to turn color. Soybean condition rated 83 percent good to excellent, although there were scattered reports of Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) across the State. Ninety-five percent of the oat crop for grain or seed has been harvested, equal to last year’s pace.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay is 52 percent complete, 4 days ahead of average. Hay condition rated 73 percent good to excellent, while pasture condition rated 62 percent good to excellent.

Livestock conditions were reported as normal.

Weather Summary Dry weather prevailed across the state through Wednesday (10th) morning. Thunderstorms began developing Wednesday afternoon and continued increasing in coverage Wednesday night into Thursday. The heaviest rains came Thursday night into Friday morning when rain totals of three to five inches were common over large areas of central and east central Iowa, as well as over the far southwest corner of the state. Most of the weekend was dry excepting some isolated showers and thunderstorms in central Iowa Saturday (13th) night. Weekly rain totals varied from 0.62 inches at Dorchester in far northeast Iowa to 7.14 inches at Swisher in Johnson County. There was a statewide average of 2.20 inches of rain, or more than double the normal for the week of 0.98 inches. The past reporting week began mild with daytime highs mostly near 80 degrees on Monday (8th) while Estherville reported the lowest temperature of the week with a Monday morning minimum of 52 degrees. However, heat and humidity quickly returned on Tuesday with the hottest weather prevailing on Wednesday (10th) and Thursday (11th). Heat indices peaked at 110 degrees at Shenandoah on Wednesday and 113 at Mount Pleasant on Thursday. Actual air temperatures maxed out at 96 degrees at Sioux City on Wednesday and 97 at Lamoni on Thursday. Seasonal temperatures and humidity returned for the weekend.

Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged 2.5 degrees above normal.

The Pressures of Life

I recently had a garden hose rupture, spraying water all over where I didn’t want water. I had inadvertently left the faucet turned on to which the hose was attached. There was a spray nozzle on the other end, but it was shut off. It was a cheap hose with a few kinks in it. The unrelenting pressure eventually caused the hose to burst.

Hoses aren’t the only thing that can burst under pressure; so can we!

There are all kinds of situations in life that put pressure on us. It can be financial pressure, health issues, people problems, guilt, busy schedules, the expectations of others, unrealistic expectations of ourselves, and I’m sure we could all add to the list another one, two, or more ways we feel under pressure.

Just as a hose needs an outlet to keep it from bursting, so we need to give expression to what we feel is putting pressure on us. It’s important to remember that there are two God-given directions we’re to vent this pressure: horizontally and vertically.

Sharing the pressure we’re under with a trusted friend or friends is the horizontal direction. God’s designed us to share our burdens with each other.

It’s been said that a joy that’s shared is doubled and a burden that’s shared is cut in half. Stuffing our feelings, keeping them to ourselves, will only make matters worse. Eventually something has to give.

Sharing our problems with God is the vertical direction. God’s designed us to be in relationship with Him. An important aspect of that relationship is going to Him in prayer and honestly sharing with Him the pressure we’re under and asking for His help to cope with it.

We’re all under pressure and we can’t keep letting that build up. Honestly sharing with a few trustworthy people and honest to God praying can keeping us from bursting like my garden hose did!

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Apostle Paul-- Galatians 6:2) “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

As I was driving yesterday, I saw one of the saddest bumper stickers I had ever seen. It read, “Heaven doesn’t want me and Hell is afraid I will take over.” Here was a person bragging to all who drove behind them about the terrible, destructive position they were finding themselves in. I know that in their eyes, it was simply meant to be a “cute little saying” and something to laugh about. but believe me, there was no humor in it.

First of all, God in Heaven does want this person and all of us to come into a loving relationship with Him. There is nothing “too bad” which we have done to make Him not desire a relationship with Him. In fact, it has nothing to do with our earning His love at all! It is all about grace, God’s reaching down to us, in that even while we were still His enemies, His love abounded and He paid the ultimate price for us by sending His Son, Jesus, to take our penalty upon Himself so that we could be forgiven.

God’s love for us as His created beings is way beyond even what we can comprehend. He desires each of us to be adopted as His sons and daughters, and He has paid the ultimate price for this to be able to happen. We must be the ones who choose the relationship though, He will not force it upon us. If we simply come to Him and confess our sins, then believing in our hearts that He has already paid the price for our forgiveness through His Son on the cross, and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, then we will become a new creation under Him. We will have our lives transformed and be given hope of a new life of freedom under Him. To the second part of the saying which was on this sticker, too many beleive that hell is going to be just one big party. In reality, it is no party at all, but a place of unfathomable pain and suffering, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. It is punishment from God for our wickedness which we all deserve, and by which only through a relationship with Him can we be saved from. All of us, every last person, is filled with sin and we cannot be good enough to earn God’s love. This is what makes Christianity different from all other religions, is that it is all about God reaching down to us instead of us “doing enough of something” to earn our salvation.

No, there will be no party, but an existence of horrible suffering beyond our imagination and regrets of a love they could have been given through a gift and which they themselves rejected. Hell was not created for us as people, but for satan and the fallen angels who rebelled against God. The sad part though is that sin must be punished and if we do not claim the gift which God is offering to us, then the only other option is rejection and punisihment.

So, back to the bumper sticker - Heaven does want you and hell is no place where any of us would want to rule over. We have been offered a new life. Will you accept it?

3 Steps for a Snack

Pineapple Cherry Minis

Fill Up with Fruit

Healthy Hummus for a Happy Snack

Creating delicious desserts can often require a ton of time and a variety of complicated steps. Rather than wasting minutes making dessert instead of eating it, try Pineapple Cherry Minis made with Dole Canned Fruit, a convenient and easy ingredient to use in all of your dessert recipes. Pineapple Cherry Minis require just 20 minutes of preparation before chilling in the refrigerator, and the fruit makes them a healthier dessert option than most after-dinner sweets. For more quick and healthy dessert options, visit dolesunshine.com.

When snack time rolls around, a quick, convenient bite to eat is often the way to go. With easy-to-make Hummus Pinwheels, your light, healthy snack can be a breeze. Because any of the 14 varieties of Sabra Hummus work for this simple recipe, your taste buds have the final call on flavor. Plus, since hummus can boost fiber intake and helps keep your calorie count low, you can count on it as a healthy alternative to common snacks. To find more tips for light snacking, visit sabra.com.
