Corn-fed with Rice on the Side by Kim Fenneman Author perseveres stereotypes, adversity to find inner-self
by Pat Racette Kim Fenneman’s life started out as normal as apple pie, but then a fire changed everything. Born in Seoul, South Korea, she was adopted as a baby by Gary and Linda Fenneman, who lived in Clarksville, Iowa. As an Asian American, Asian or American, she was treated equally, growing up with brothers and a sister in the country. It wasn’t until she was 9 years old when her family’s farmstead burned down, forcing them to move to Garland, Texas. Her recently released book, cleverly entitled Corn-fed with Rice on the Side, encounters life after childhood in Clarksville. In collections of memories from her daily life, Fenneman makes chapters and subheads to make reading easier. Playful titles like Oh, Me so Pretty! Say Cheese, Ready for Duty, Sir and Life… It Happens give the book a personality of its own. But in reading through Fenneman’s experiences, one has to wonder if our culture really has improved upon our prejudices from the past. Dealing with people’s preconceptions, she holds steady as a rock by remembering her childhood days
Color Run… Clarksville After Prom hosted the Color Run last Saturday (Oct. 19) at Heery Woods. Juniors and parents put together the fundraiser, with Julie Becker organizing the walk/run through the woods. A total of 106 individuals participated, with kids throwing powder paint on runners. At the end of the race, runners celebrate with some powder throwing [pictured] (Submitted Photo). See Run on page 2
Craft Expo draws record numbers where she fit in and was treated equal. Those memories give her determination to see the haze of misconceptions. The most hostile situation occurred in a hair salon. An Asian guy gave her highlights, and twisted her words and accused her of not being a real Asian. In the chapter Travels, Fenneman visits the place it all began in Seoul, South Korea. But again, she doesn’t get the feeling she fits in as Koreans dismiss her when they find out she’s and American adoptee.

Dairy Robotics Future Thoreson travels to European research centers for glimpse of dairy future By Pat Racette The future of dairy farms likely lies in Northern Europe. The capital of the world’s automatic milking systems has engineers constantly working at research centers and farms to come up with technology advancements. Starting in the Netherlands, automatic robotic dairy systems have worked their way out into Germany, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Recently, Allison’s Dale Thoreson ventured abroad with friend Larry Trannels on a two-week study tour
of the robotic dairy industry to see what they were doing and thinking of next. Thoreson went as a volunteer for Iowa State University Extension, while Trannel is an ISU Field Specialist in dairy in northeast and southeast Iowa. “What we wanted to do on this tour is try to get to the manufacturing plant and talk with some of the key people that were developing some of this equipment,” Thoreson said. “We were successful in getting that done with a couple of them, and then get on to farms and see what was going on.” The giant five automatic milking companies that the duo targeted was: Delaval (Sweden), Insentec BV (Netherlands), Lely Industries (Netherlands), BouMatic (Madison, Wis., priorly Gasgooine Milot in
Netherlands) and GEA Farm Technologies (Germany). They managed to find a farm that was testing mainly Delaval robots. Spending half a day with the assistant manager there, the ISU specialists witnessed an add-on machine to the box (automatic milking system) that engineers were using to hold numerous tests. “They are dealing with what they call a navigator device that will test the milk for pH,” Thoreson said, “and tell us whether it has mastitis (breast inflammation) or not, test the blood for ketone to tell us whether they have ketosis, or whether we ought to feed them additional something to keep them from getting ketosis.”

Dairy Robotics continued The navigator device, the addon machine, can test activity to see whether the cow is in estrus or in heat and can find out what’s going on with a dairy cow. Thoreson, who used to work as a extension dairy director in a 20-countywide area, challenged engineers to come up with a way test for milk fever, a low blood calcium disease that makes a cow weak. “I was challenging them to think,� Thoreson said, “and these are brilliant people, much smarter than I am. I said think about what else you can do there; this is a big problem in dairies all over the world. You have the cow confined, how could you find some tests of what’s going on?� Thoreson and Trannel got the chance to visit with the manager of Geno Global for a couple hours in Oslo, Norway, as well. The company artificially inseminates Norwegian Red sires, the only cattle the country can use. “They’ve been quite successful at breeding a very useful cow,� Thoreson said. “They would like to get their foot in the door and be able to sell semen from their bulls for crossbreeding in the U.S., which has become lucrative.� Moving on to Sweden, Thoreson and Trannel stopped at a random farm where the owners and president of the Swedish Dairymen’s Association happened to live. “Larry was jogging and went by this farm with their lights on, and then we stopped and got invited back for supper,� Thoreson said. The Swedish couple set up the guys with a tour the next morning at a research farm, as Thoreson was
able to view a wheat field similar to ones he worked growing up in North Dakota. He also saw several new types of clover, and gave the Swedish farmers a different clover to work with in Kura. Hitting Germany next, Trannel met his fourth cousin, and found out the Trannel farm could be traced back to 1640 ownership. Later, they drove to Denmark, but unfortunately Thoreson’s genealogical leads weren’t as successful as Trannels. Last but not least, the duo used technology of GPS and a navigating voice to take a scenic drive from Germany’s Aacchen to Dusseldorf, before flying overseas back to the states. “We went on two ferries, 12 farms, three of the major manufacturers of automatic milking systems, a Danish forage research center (by dead man’s luck) and the Norwegian Geno company,� Thoreson said of his eighth time visiting Europe. The next study tour trip Trannel is planning is to South America, though Thoreson hasn’t decided yet. They would study the dairy industry in Brazil and Argentina. It would mark their third study tour together, after going to the Australian Dairy Conference a few years ago. “So far in Australia they spoke Australian-English, which is sometimes not easy to understand, and in Europe almost everywhere we went they spoke English,� Thoreson said. “So if we go to Brazil and Argentina, they’d be speaking either Spanish or Portugese. Larry speaks very fluent Spanish, but I don’t even speak good English.�

Leland and Carolyn Fenneman each bought copies of Corn-fed with Rice on the Side Friday at their cousin and niece’s book signing. (Pat Racette Photo)
Corn-fed with Rice on the Side Fenneman also deals with stereotypes of all Asians looking alike, all Asians using chopsticks and Asian jokes. But she comes to see that every Asian has unique characteristics just like other races, that using a fork is easier than acting like she can use chop sticks and that Asian jokes are for boys. deals with is all Asians looking alike, all Asians knowing how to use chop sticks, In a chapter called Boys‌Guys‌ Men, Fenneman explains how she initially refers to males as boys, until they prove themselves as more. ‌and then when he’s proven that he’s all that and a bag a chips, I’ll refer to him as a man. Her first online date turns out to be a boy. He asked her if she’d date someone who owned a pet, to which she said of course. Then came his response. ‘Well you should come meet my dog sometime, but don’t look at him like dessert.’ But she also does some assuming when a guy she works with over the phone doesn’t return her e-mail after she sends him an image of herself. Assuming he didn’t respond to her because she was Asian, she e-mails the man a nasty letter. However, she
comes to find out that he was on vacation and hadn’t check his messages, making work from then on a little awkward with him. In Conclusion, she comes full circle to better understand her inner self and true being through life happening. She brings a more grounded feeling to the reading with her poems in the final pages. Her last poem reads: Grateful Daliy Moving forward. Finding traction. Seeking hope. It’s there! Just reach! Trust and believe. Have faith! Or remember and lean on your faith. Find joy daily. Be grateful daily. And move forward‌ in life, in thought, in spirit. Don’t rest, don’t stop. Your life is the only one and today is yesterday. So, embrace it, enjoy it, and breathe it in. Blessings be to God, today, and every day!

Lelah Louise Anhalt, 95 of Waverly, Iowa passed away on Monday, October 21, 2013, at Covenant Medical Center in Waterloo, Iowa. Lelah was born on February 10, 1918, in rural Clarksville, Iowa, the daughter of Frederick and Mary (Nordman) Benning. She attended Prairie Valley Country School near Clarksville. On June 15, 1943, Lelah was united in marriage to John Adam Anhalt at St. Mary Catholic Church in Waverly. The couple farmed both in the Waverly and Clarksville area until their retirement in 1989. After nearly 60 years of marriage, John died on May 23, 2003. Lelah grew up on a farm near Clarksville, Iowa, and was a member of First United Church of Christ – Pleasant Valley. As a young adult, she not only helped her dad on the farm, but later ventured out on her own working at restaurants, hotels and other area businesses. After her marriage in 1943 and joining St Mary Church, John was drafted into the Army Air Corp during WW2 which resulted in immediate separation. She fondly told the story of how she traveled to his temporary duty station (before serving in Europe) via the local train. Like other army wives, when she arrived there she had to go door to door asking if someone would temporarily give her a place to stay. Her rural background and childhood during the depression only served as a stepping stone for what her life would become. With John’s return and a very “self-sufficient” view of the world, she and John started their farming careers. Lelah was a true lover of the land and everything
related to it. It mattered not if it was agricultural crops, a garden, a flower bed, or the animals that grazed on it; working the land was a true source of mental and physical satisfaction. Never intimidated by “men’s work”, she frequently drove tractors and ran the combine at harvest time. She so enjoyed her last farm adventure in her 90s riding along on the combine. Her life was not limited to just field work; cooking, canning, crocheting, quilting, square dancing, card playing and many more “simple pleasures” filled her time. She especially was revered for her red raspberry pies, coffee cake, caramel rolls, and of course the grandchildren’s favorite, her dill pickles! Lelah was a true believer that people interactions made the world go around. She and John opened their house twice a year to visiting “horse people”, thoroughly enjoying the many conversations with people who later became dear friends. Lelah and John were avid mushroom hunters, finding and sharing thousands over the years. Active participation in the American Legion Auxiliary, supporting her Church and active in the CCW, and visits to the home bound helped to fill any voids of free time. Lelah is survived by a daughter Mary Lou (Vernon) Latwesen of Morrison, Illinois; a son Gene (Carol) Anhalt of Waverly, Iowa; five grandchildren, Jennifer Latwesen (Rob McGinnis), Michael (Jenny) Latwesen, Jeremy Anhalt, Paul (Andrea) Anhalt; and Sara (Ben) Schearer; seven great-grandchildren; sister Delores Smith of Clarksville; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, John; her parents; two sisters Ella Backer and Arlene Ringleb; and brother, Paul Benning. Mass of Christian burial was held Monday, October 28, 2013, at St. Mary Catholic Church in Waverly with Msgr. Lyle Wilgenbusch presiding. Burial was in St. Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery in Waverly. Memorials may be directed to St. Mary Catholic Church, Cedar Valley Hospice, or the Waverly Area Veterans Post Capital Campaign. Online condolences may be left at www.kaisercorson.com. Kaiser-Corson Funeral Home in Waverly was in charge of arrangements.
This is not a Pipe The artist Magritte painted a picture titled “This is not a Pipe.” It is a painting of a pipe. When first people looked at the painting they were often puzzled. It certainly looks like a pipe! And yet the title contradicted that. Some took it as being meant in a humorous way. But, taking a second look one comes away with the understanding that the artist was pointing to the fact that a picture of something and the real thing are actually two very different things. Another artist, taking the idea and using it in another context, painted a picture of a church building. It is a traditional church building. One cannot mistake the Gothic design and steeple as a church building. But, again the artist titles it the same way, “This is not a Church.” What this artist is also pointing out is that just a picture, or even a structure, is not the church. The Church, when it is really being the Church, is the people. But, of course, it is even more than the people. It is the people at work in the world. When people of faith in Jesus Christ are active in living out their lives of faith, then we truly have a Church. One can have the most beautiful building filled with people. They have their names on some official role somewhere. They appear to be filling the building with their praise and worship. But, to truly be the Church there must be something more. To be the church it must be carried out into the community and into the world with lives of faith. Christian love must be actually enacted for there to truly be a church. Ralph Wedeking, Pastor Allison Congregational Church

Linda Upmeyer Newsletter It’s hard to believe we have already experienced our first snow of the season. This fall has seemed to fly by, and with November right around the corner, winter will be arriving sooner than some of us would like to acknowledge! While the legislative session won’t actually convene until January, legislators assigned to various interim committees have been meeting at the Capitol in preparation for the 2014 legislative session. One such group, the State Government Efficiency Review Committee, met earlier this month to examine the findings of a report published by the non-partisan Legislative Services Agency (LSA), regarding the amount of money state agencies have spent on membership dues paid to different organizations. It appears the findings of the report merit further discussion about the best use of taxpayer dollars in relation to these membership dues. The report shows that the state has spent over $2 million in organizational dues in each of the past three budget years. While the total amount dropped in Fiscal Year 2012, there was a 7.5 percent increase in the amount spent on dues in Fiscal Year 2013. The LSA report shows the Department of Education spent the most of any state agency in Fiscal Year 2013, totaling $493,101- a 28% increase over Fiscal Year 2011. The report raises questions about which groups state agencies choose to belong to as well. Currently, four different state agencies- the Department of Administrative Services, Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services, the Department of Natural Resources, and Iowa Workforce Development- are dues-paying members of 27 different Chambers of Commerce, including the Prairie Du Chien Area Chamber of Commerce in Wisconsin. The findings also show that numerous state agencies belong to individual professional groups, and sometimes multiple agencies pay dues to the same organization.
For example, Iowa Prison Industries, the Iowa Board of Regents, and the Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System (IPERS), are all dues-paying members of the Iowa Society of Certified Public Accountants. As stewards of the taxpayer dollars, we must ask ourselves what kind of value these memberships add for Iowans. Since many of these dues are not paid for by general fund dollars, are they receiving the amount of oversight and scrutiny taxpayers expect? The payments for these memberships should not be made on autopilot. These types of questions need to be asked and addressed. It is our duty as elected officials to thoroughly review all state government spending and ask ourselves if it is a worthwhile use of taxpayer dollars. As we prepare for the upcoming session, these are the types of issues we will continue to investigate with the intention of providing more accountability and transparency for you, the taxpayer. On a different note, earlier this month, students across the country celebrated National 4-H week. As a past 4-H member and leader, I’ve enjoyed learning about the various projects 4-H groups have been working on and appreciate the contribution the students have made to our local communities. Thank you to all of the students and faculty that continue to make 4-H a thriving, successful, and productive organization! We also recently observed fire prevention week and I want to thank all of the firefighters and volunteers who spent time in our schools educating our students about fire safety. Your selfless commitment to protect the residents of our communities is sincerely appreciated. As always, I appreciate hearing from you. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with your thoughts and feedback at linda.upmeyer@legis. iowa.gov or 515-281-4618. Please enjoy a safe harvest season!
Pruning Workshop Held in Parkersburg... Butler County Extension and Outreach hosted a Tree Pruning Workshop on Saturday, October 20, in Parkersburg. The program was cosponsored by the Allison Trees Forever Committee who provided refreshments and held a drawing for two free trees. The workshop was conducted by Dr. Jesse Randall, ISUEO Forestry Specialist and was held at Larry Luhring’s in Parkersburg. Sixteen people attended the workshop.
Air Force One : Which airplane was really first? President Franklin Roosevelt flew to the Casablanca Conference in 1943 aboard a commercial clipper ship. He was the first president to fly while in office, before a growing concern began about our commander-in-chief having to rely on airlines to support his special needs. It was then that Army Air Corps officials worked with the Douglas Aircraft Company and developed a very special DC-4 type craft equipped to take care of his very special requirements. Its design included an elevator for special loading and wheel chair. This aircraft was not known as Air Force One, but rather, it was nicknamed Sacred Cow, and was the first military aircraft to fly the president when it took him to the Yalta Conference in 1945. The president used that airplane only once before his death in April 1945, but the Cow remained on presidential duty for two years into the Truman Administration. Later, she was assigned to other transport duties including the special air mission squadron to which I was assigned for four years in Germany. It really stood out, because it was the only aircraft in the unit that was not painted – it had just a neat, bright polished aluminum finish. The Cow was retired in 1961, and you can see her in the Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson AFB near Dayton, Ohio. The Cow shares the museum with what one might call the second Air Force One – a beauty from Lockheed. It is a VC121 Constellation that was nicknamed Columbine III by president Eisenhower’s wife in 1954. This airplane, a Super Connie served Ike until 1961 when he left
office. This bird remained in service transporting government officials and other dignitaries until it was retired to the museum in 1966. The Columbine and that very special VC-54 share space at the museum with what was always called SAM 26000 unless the president was aboard, when it was then called Air Force One. President Kennedy did not name that aircraft, but rather, the Air Force and the news media popularized the Air Force One call sign. This is a beautiful Boeing VC-137 (707), and it served eight presidents over three decades. It is a striking blue and white with gold lettering and with the American flag on the tail. Many of us know a good bit about her fame to include that flight back from Dallas when Lyndon Johnson was sworn in as the new president. This airplane served 36 years, and flew 13,000 hours, first, of course, as primary presidential One in 1962 until 1972 when she was replaced by a nearly identical VC-137 (SAM 27000). She then flew as back-up until she was retired to the museum in 1998. Many of us have seen 27000, as she first flew the presidents and, since 1990, as back up for the present presidential ship which is a Boeing VC-25 (747-200B). These are all very special airplanes, with a very special and very demanding call-toduty. The museum at Wright Patterson is the largest air museum in the world, and perhaps you can visit it sometime. Then you can determine which of those three we should properly call One. Respectfully submitted, Ray Fredrick, Waverly

What's going on?
Dear Editor I would like to respond to the Banana Republicans editorial written by David Mansheim in the October 24 Tribune Journal. Republicans don’t hate the government. They hate what the government has become. Instead of being the protector of our Freedom and Liberty. The have continued to take away liberty and freedom with more government interference in our everyday life. The latest example is the Affordable Care Act, which is neither affordable or care. It is government interference in personal responsibility and private health matters. When the government rights a law that has 10,535 pages, you can bet your personal freedoms and choice are going to be greatly affected. A law that supposedly insures 50 million more people without adding any more doctors, but adding 18,000 IRS agents to enforce the fines, penalties and taxes. A law that adds a dozen new agencies and commission to oversee health care and determine what kind of care you should be receiving. This is a government program that spent over $670 million for a Web site that doesn’t work and was using decade old programing. And before it is fixed will probably cost well over a billion dollars. This is a government program where reports of companies cutting employees to part-time instead of full-time to get away from the having to pay the massive cost comes daily. What about the outright lies with this program; your insurance cost won’t go up, you will save average of $2,500 a year on insurance, you can keep your same coverage and same plan if you want, you can keep you doctor, and the whopper, it will be easy to enroll. This is a program that will cost our economy trillions of dollars and that will all be paid for by the taxpayers that are left. Or by China if they will keep lending the money. So I am glad Sen. Grassley and King voted to keep the government shut down instead of paying for the ACA. As far as Grassley and King violating their constitutional oath of office, they were by voting to not. The congress appropriates the money, but the executive through his Secretary of Treasury spends the money. There is enough money coming into the government to pay the bills and pay the debt. So if the country would default, it would have been on the President’s head for not spending the money for the need services and requirements. He would not have been able to give money to foreign terrorist for arms, or to governments to support Muslim Brotherhood, or spend the money for drone surveillance for the EPA. And speaking of violating the constitution, the Affordable Care Act was specific in who has to pay what. It did not authorize the President to authorize exemptions/waivers for certain companies (political donors), union (political donors) and government employees. Those exemptions are a violation of the law.
Of course, this is a President that does not really care about the law. Some of his violations are military intervention in Libya, supporting terrorists in Egypt and Syria, failure to enforce the immigration laws, failure to enforce DOMA and many more. And then there is Fast and Furious, where AG sold guns to criminals and drug dealers through a straw purchaser, which is a very clear violation on the law, and the President working with the IRS to target conservative groups filing for tax exemptions status. To the extra cost of the shutdown. Most of those were brought on for political reasons by the President. Why in the world would you spend money to close open air memorials? And then post officers to keep WWII and Korean War honor flights out. Then you have Democratic Congressman Braley helping the park service put up barricades, and Republican Congressman King taking them down to help the honor flights get in to see the memorials. Which congressman is doing what is best for the citizens? My guess is King was looking out for our vets, and Braley was making points with the Democratic leaders. Why would you allow the closed parks to be used by illegal aliens and not citizen of this country? And to top that off, all the leaders in Congress in the Democratic Party were in attendance supporting those breaking the law. What kind of political party is that? What about the oaths they took to defend the constitution? As far as the shutdown goes, 80 percent of the population said it did not affect them. Over 80 percent of EPA, labor, commerce and labor department employees were considered non-essential employees, so the question is why are there so many of them? The Democratic Party and the media are constantly saying the Republican will not compromise. Compromise for the Democratic Party is to agree to only what they want. Several bills were offered to keep the government open and none were accepted. One was even offered to keep funding the Affordable Care Act the way it was passed by the Democrats and signed by the President. But then all the waivers the President illegally granted would be null, and the President couldn’t have that. So which political party would not compromise? I think you need to look at the Democrats in the Senate and the White House. I am glad for people like Sen. Cruz, and I hope the Republican Party is moving more conservative. We are going to need that to get rid of all the problem this President and Democratic Senate has caused. Mr. Mansheim, it is the Democratic Party that is not the party of your father. Jefferson and Jackson are not singing, they are crying by seeing what the Democratic Party has become. Tim Junker Allison
Dear Editor, The City Council is the starting point for all governing bodies. It is level 1 and the level for which the individual has the most influence. It is our right and our duty to participate. Please don’t think of it as, “just a local election” and use that as an excuse to remain home from the polls. How you vote may well determine the fate of the most important part of the world, your part. Who you vote for or against will make a difference as to the rights, privileges, and restrictions you have when you walk out your front door. My choice for mayor is Scott Henrichs because: 1. He has served us well in the past. 2. He understands that Allison is a
place where town and country meet and that the folks want to retain that uniqueness and live without a new rule or restriction every time they turn around. 3. He knows, if it’s not broke, there’s no need to fix it. 4. He’s willing to LISTEN. He may not agree but he’ll always take time to hear you out. 5. Allison for Allison’s sake is important to him. Dixie Loftis Allison, Iowa
Kenealy is class act Mr. Terry Kenealy plans to turn in his letter of resignation at the next North Butler School District Board of Education meeting. The superintendent and middle school principal of the district has always been a pleasure for me to work with since I started the job as editor of the Tribune-Journal and Star last November. I remember the first BOE meeting I’d ever attended as a reporter, Iowa School Finance Information Services consultant Larry Sigel was presenting school budget information. Using power point slides, Sigel spoke of terms like general fund, unspent balance, levies, allowable growth, cash reserve levy, cost per pupil, fiscal year, miscellaneous income, solvency ratio, spending authority, unspent balance, uniform levy and more – all were a different language to me. After going over the district’s budget information for over an hour, I was confused and had a bad headache. Budgets are not my expertise, as my method of budgeting my bank account is printing out a receipt and making sure I have some money in there to spend. The question loomed in my head, how was I going to write a story about something I knew nothing about? So I called Mr. Kenealy, hoping he could help me out. Sure enough, he was very help-
ful, going in depth with responses to less than astute questions like whom was that guy presenting information. He dumbed it down enough for me to make sense of it, as I was very thankful to him for explaining it to me in layman’s terms. And then came the next meeting, and again I didn’t know much of what was going on. And again I called Mr. Kenealy, and he saved me on deadline again. He assisted me several more times as well, and even said hello to me in the hall if I was covering something at school or talking to me at a football game. This is just my two cents worth here, but I thought he handled the last BOE meeting well in a tough situation. Instead of blaming the auditor for putting non-general funds of the school budget into general funds to put the district’s spending authority into the red, Mr. Kenealy said to blame him if you are going to blame anybody. I think that once the auditor turned in the final numbers for fiscal year 2012-13 to the state, the district couldn’t go back and amend the monies to different levies. But you should likely have a second opinion on that. I thought Mr. Kenealy showed class by explaining what happened and answering questions, after the frustrating news couldn’t’ve come at a worse time. I mean the district seemed to be just solving their budget problems with spending authority after making several cuts recently. I guess hard luck is hard luck is hard luck. Mr. Kenealy will be turning in his letter of resignation to the board at the next meeting to no longer hold his position after this year. He did write a newsletter explaining the budget in more depth than I ever could do on page 2 in this newspaper. Go ahead and take a look if you have question about what is going on. Reading his article, I think he just wants everybody to agree to disagree and come together to solve the budget issue in the future. Anyway, I just want to say thanks Mr. Kenealy for your help, and give you a salute.
Investments Grow Iowa Jobs & Middle Class During the 2013 session, we took big strides to expand Iowa’s middle class through job creation and economic growth initiatives, including the largest tax cut in state history. Fixing our state’s property tax system will save Iowans $4.4 billion over 10 years by giving every class of property a permanent tax cut. A big piece of this effort is the new Business Property Tax Credit, which reduces commercial property taxes, helping small businesses the most. The Business Property Tax Credit will reduce taxes without shifting the burden to residential property owners through state reimbursements which will allow to local government to fully fund schools and continue providing services to the community. Commercial property owners can take advantage of the Business Property Tax Credit at www.iowa.gov/tax/ locgov/13PTReform.html. For the first year, $50 million is available to commercial property owners, with applications for the credit on this year’s property taxes being accepted through January 15, 2014. When the $125 million tax cut is fully phased in after three years, almost two-thirds of Iowa commercial properties—those valued at $145,000 or less—will be taxed at
the same rate as residential properties. Bigger businesses also will get a break on the first $145,000 of their property. Other much-praised boosts to local business and job creation include: • Enhancing economic development by allowing local governments to establish reinvestment districts. • Increasing incentives for businesses to locate and expand in Iowa. Financial incentives were increased to $16.9 million, and the state’s Economic Development Tax Credit was increased by $50 million. These funds will help with relocation and expansion projects that encourage local investment, job creation, employee training and higher wages. • Encouraging rehabilitation of historic commercial properties and business districts by expanding eligibility for Iowa’s Historic Tax Credits to assist small and large projects. • Helping promising startups get off the ground by providing an Innovation Tax Credit for investment in early-stage, innovative companies.

The Way It Was
by Dave Clark
This picture, on an old postcard taken about 1919, is of a long forgotten or unknown business place in Clarksville was found in the pages of an old encyclopedia and donated to me by Mabel Neal’s daughters a few weeks ago. This seemingly very large lumber yard building, built about 1880, ran north and south and you are looking at the north and west sides. It was located directly south of the Schmadeke Feed Mill on 603 South Mather Street. The house visible on the right is still there, with some additions, at 721 South Mather, now the home of Bill and Dawn Ison. At one time this house was Viola Ahrens’s Rest Home. The following, partially from the writings of Rudy Priepke, describes a little of the history of this business and area around it. In 1879 John Heery owned the elevator near the Great Western tracks, where it still stands today. He and Herman Schmadeke opened a lumber yard south of the elevator and presumably built the lumber shed shown in the picture. It was Heery and Schmadeke until Gideon Watland bought Mr. Heery’s interest in 1899 and it became Schmadeke and Watland. The November 5, 1905 STAR says that “H. J. Weinberg bought Watland’s interest and sold it the next day to William Sinram, (Lester Sinram’s father.) In October, 1907 Mr. Schmadeke sold his interest to John Pape and it was Sinram and Pape until May, 1910, when Henry Mueller bought Mr. Pape’s interest. Three months later Martin Brockman bought Mr. Sinram’s interest. The firm of Mueller and Brockman was in the elevator business at this location until
1941, having sold the lumber part of the business in 1919 to J. E. and Carl Bergen of Waverly, keeping the elevator and coal part until 1941 when they sold it to Paul Voss. The April 17, 1919 issue of the STAR carried the first ad: “Bergen’s Bugle--Service with Every Foot; Published in the interest of the good folks of Clarksville and vicinity.� This often seen little publication was a 7 inch, two column wide collections of about 5 to 10 miscellaneous items and sales pitches. For example, “now is the time to make your fences stockproof. Posts of all kinds are here.� Also included were updates on local building projects. Bergen’s Bugle appeared every week in the upper right hand corner of page four or five for over two and a half years. The March 12, 1931 STAR announced that N. Frudden had purchased the Bergen Lumber Company and an interest in Weinberg and Miller. The two yards were consolidated under the name Weinberg and Frudden. The Bergen lumber shed was dismantled and the land became the property of the county. The county shed was built sometime in the thirties. After buying some of the county land Paul Voss built the present elevator office in 1974. Of course this consolidation of the two lumber yards resulted in the lumber yard being placed where it is today under the name of The Clarksville Lumber Co. Inc, making it the longest continuing business in the same location in the town of Clarksville. Have a great Halloween and watch out for the little goblins on November 1st.

Let’s Be Friends! The term “social media� has been around quite a while and that WHOLE time it has struck fear in my heart! I am not a techie person, never have been and probably never will be. We are ALL bombarded daily with media from TV and newspapers to facebook and twitter. Sometimes I wonder where it will end! Recently I’ve seen ads for smart watches! (Really all my watch needs to tell me is what time it is and how late I am to my next appointment!) My 83 year old mother was a “facebooker� and was always telling me about a picture she’d seen of so-and-so. She loved looking at pictures of her grandkids and greatgrandkids. At least until her computer broke down, she moved to assisted living and can no longer navigate the system. I have consistently hung back and relied on older forms of media, like email and snail mail, to get information to the people. I always figured that was good enough for me and I was “in control�. Well, I FINALLY took a HUGE leap (okay, maybe a tiny hop) forward and put Butler County 4H on facebook as of Friday, October 18, 2013. (I’m sure I was one of the last CYC holdouts across Iowa!)
I did set this as a goal of mine for this year, but as we all know, not all goals are reached. I’m sure I would still be “unfriended� if my daughter hadn’t suggested we set up the page that Friday when I stopped. (Mostly it was her doing the work with me answering her questions.) It seemed much more confusing and complicated than I ever imagined and I kept telling myself “baby steps�. But since that eventful Friday (was it only a week ago?) I have had people I don’t even know liking us on facebook. That’s a good thing, right? Getting the word out about 4-H and how much fun kids are having and what they are learning? I’ve found this whole facebook experience to become very addictive! I’m checking to see if someone wants to friend Butler County 4H or has posted a comment. Today I got brave and actually added the favorite 4-H photos kids sent me during 4-H Week. I wish I had gotten more, but those I did get, and could open, are on facebook, in an album no less! (Thanks to Ruth!) So check us out, tell us what you think. We may even ask you to be our friend! www.facebook.com/ButlerCountyIA4H.
Pets and Priorities I am sure you have heard me say, “Time and money are limited resources and should be spent on your highest priorities.� If you wonder where your priorities are, take an honest look at where you spend your time and money. I have observed an interesting phenomenon happen over the years since graduating from college. It started with a college friend who decided to go into small animal vet practice because there was much more money to be made with a lot less physical labor involved – when working with animals, pigs and cows are harder on your body than cats and dogs, and (He said that) city people would not blink an eye at the amount of money they were willing to spend on a pet. More recently, I have noticed tv ads targeting “pet parents� and read a statistic that showed Americans spent more than $53 billion in 2012 on pet food, vet care, kennels and other services. Two out of five American households have at least one dog and on average spend $101/ month on their pet. Over the past five years, I have
been in contact with an individual, helping her find a way to make ends meet. When I questioned her about the 5 large dogs she lovingly cared for, she shared that she did not purchase any of the dogs. Two were her mothers and she promised to care for them once she was gone. The other 3 had similar stories to go with them. These two dogs were her only remaining connection to her mom. For me, as a financial coach, there was nothing more to be said on that topic‌her priority was to care for the dogs and my job was to help her find a way for her to accomplish that as well as put food on her own table. While it is true, pets bring joy and wonderful companionship, they are a huge responsibility. It is a longterm commitment of time, money and energy that may exceed your financial abilities. That cost will only grow as the animal ages. Something to think about when considering a pet as a gift this coming holiday season. Brenda Schmitt Family Finance Program Specialist

Yard and Garden: What Foliage to Cut in Fall AMES, Iowa – Putting the garden to bed for the winter is a matter of cleaning up and covering up. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach have recommendations on cutting foliage as part of fall clean up. To have other fall garden questions answered, contact the Iowa Hortline at hortline@ iastate.edu or call 515-294-3108. When should I cut back my ornamental grasses? Many ornamental grasses provide color, sound and movement to the winter landscape. Because of these winter features, cut back ornamental grasses in April in Iowa. Cut back the grasses to within 2 to 4 inches of the ground with hand shears, lopping shears or hedge trimmers. When can I cut back peony foliage? Cut back peony foliage after it has been destroyed by a hard freeze. In Iowa, late October or early November is generally a good time to cut back peonies. Cut off the stems near ground level. If the peonies experienced foliar disease problems, remove the plant debris from the area and destroy it. Plants cut back in August or early September may have fewer blooms
that those cut back in fall. When can I cut back my asparagus foliage? The asparagus foliage can be cut back to the ground after it has been destroyed by cold temperatures in fall. However, it is generally recommended that the dead foliage be allowed to stand over winter. The dead debris will catch and hold snow. Snow cover helps protect the asparagus crowns from freeze damage. Asparagus foliage allowed to remain in the garden over winter should be removed in late March or early April before spears begin to emerge. Should I cut back my mums in fall? Garden mums have shallow, fibrous roots. Repeated freezing and thawing of the soil during the winter months can heave plants out of the ground and cause severe damage or even death. Research has found that garden mums are more likely to survive the winter when plants are left standing over winter. For additional winter protection, cover garden mums with several inches of straw or pine needles in late November or early December. Remove the mulch in early spring (April). Also remove the dead mum debris at this time.

I believe I know where some of the good friends and neighbors ended up - theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re either the mayor or council members and when elected they turned big city on us. Heaven forbid, this is still Clarksville. I try to do as much business in my hometown as possible, but it hurts me when I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ride my ATV in to town as snowmobiles do for fuel, food, groceries and dinners. At eighty-one years, this is still a pleasure for me as well as others. Jim Norton P.S. A few write-ins Tuesday might help.

Dear Editor: Good Old Days no more Perhaps I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have lived to be eighty years old, but I did and my memory is still fair. I remember when Clarksville was the best little town around. If your grass grew too high and your walk was covered with snow, if you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to do it, a good neighbor or friend would lend a hand now if it happens and no friends or neighbors show up, you will be fined for such. Also now if you would like to keep an old relic in your backyard, you could be sued for that also.

Coach Heather Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad was 23-of-25 serving with an ace â&#x20AC;&#x201C; led by Emily Mennenga who was perfect on five serves with the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone ace.

Sports/News Home Country by Slim Randles I was invited recently to join Bob Milford, manager of the prestigious Diamond W Ranch, on a drivearound tour of the place. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge, private ranch, with tiny ex-logging roads winding around through 13,000 acres of pine trees and rocks. A real paradise. But I was horrified to see wooden street signs nailed to trees wherever two of these old logging trails came together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh no,â&#x20AC;? I said, out loud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the matter?â&#x20AC;? Bob asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning a subdivision here.â&#x20AC;? Bob started laughing when I pointed at the signs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are for
the owners,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They live Back East and visit here one weekend a year. When they get out here, they take the pickup and drive around and get lost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I got a call on the cell phone from the owner, who said he was lost and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find his way back to the house. So I asked him where he was and he said he was right there, sitting on a rock and close to a pine tree.â&#x20AC;? He chuckled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That narrowed it down to about 13,000 acres. Well, I managed to find him, and after that, I put these signs up. I tell them now, if they get lost, to drive until they come to Home Road and then head downhill. It solved the problem.â&#x20AC;?

12â&#x20AC;˘ Thursday, October 31, 2013 Society Says Progress Made to Cut Tobacco Use But Too Many Still Smoke November 21, 2013 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As the American Cancer Society celebrates its 100th year in the fight to end cancer, it is encouraging smokers to use the Great American Smokeout on November 21 to make a plan to quit smoking and help finish the fight against tobacco. While smoking has decreased significantly since the 1950s, more than 43 million Americans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nearly one in five adults â&#x20AC;&#x201C; still smoke, according to the Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made substantial progress in the fight against tobacco since 1954, when an American Cancer Society study confirmed the link between smoking and lung cancer,â&#x20AC;? said Sarah Foster, Community Relations Midwest Division, American Cancer Society, Inc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States. Quitting smoking can save your life, and the Great American Smokeout is a great way to start.â&#x20AC;? Since the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Society fundedresearch has helped scientists understand the role of tobacco in cancer development. Working tirelessly in the fight against tobacco to educate consumers on the dangers of smoking, the Society provides support to those who want to kick the habit and mobilizes communities to implement public policies that save lives. From 1965 to today, cigarette smoking among adults in the U.S. decreased from more than 42 percent to around 19 percent. Currently, smoke-free workplace laws protect 49 percent of the U.S. population from the dangers of secondhand smoke. Yet about 43.8 million Americans still smoke cigarettes. Smoking-related diseases remain the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most preventable cause of death. Every six seconds, someone in the world dies because of tobacco use. The American Cancer Society created the trademarked concept for and held its first Great American Smokeout in 1976 as a way to inspire and encourage smokers to quit for a day. One million people gave up smoking for a day at the 1976 event in California. Now, the Great American Smokeout encourages smokers to commit to making a long-term
plan to quit smoking for good. Find tips and tools online to help you quit smoking. While current smokers are encouraged to use the day to make a plan to quit, non-smokers are asked to take action that will help finish the fight against tobacco, such as: ¡ Tell lawmakers the fight against tobacco must be a priority. Become an American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) advocate at ACSCAN.org. ¡ Encourage friends and family members to visit cancer.org for tools to help them quit. ¡ Spread the word. Visit cancer.org/smokeout for printable resources to post at your office, church, school, etc. ¡ Make a donation to fund research and smoking cessation programs that will help save more lives faster. ¡ Plan to attend the Relay for Life of Butler County in Allison on Friday, July 11th, 2014; make a donation in â&#x20AC;&#x153;memory ofâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;in honor ofâ&#x20AC;? a loved one who has fought a battle against cancer. About the American Cancer Society The American Cancer Society is a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers saving lives and fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. As the largest voluntary health organization, the Society's efforts have contributed to a 20 percent decline in cancer death rates in the U.S. since 1991, and a 50 percent drop in smoking rates. Thanks in part to our progress nearly 14 million Americans who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will celebrate more birthdays this year. As we mark our 100th birthday in 2013, we're determined to finish the fight against cancer. We're finding cures as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest private, not-for-profit investor in cancer research, ensuring people facing cancer have the help they need and continuing the fight for access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, clean air, and more. For more information, to get help, or to join the fight, call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit www.cancer.org/fight
Drivers Stay Alert For Deer Movement Although it is always a good practice, drivers are reminded to stay alert for deer as they travel Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roadways over the next few weeks. Increased deer movements due to crop harvest and deer breeding behavior combine to hike the risk of vehicle-deer collisions during this period. Beginning now through the third week of November, Iowa bucks and does are more active, as the breeding season builds to its peak. This creates scenarios of fast moving, unpredictable deer crossing highways. With crop harvest in full swing, deer are also pushed into the remaining cover. Another factor that increases the risk of seeing deer will be the change away from daylight savings time on November 3rd. This places more of us behind the wheel during the dusk and dawn period. Twenty one percent of road killed deer observed by the DOT along Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural highways and interstates came in No-
vember in 2012. Second was October, with 14 percent. The easiest way to minimize your risk of hitting a deer is to simply slow down and remain alert, especially around dawn and dusk. Many accidents occur near brushy or tree lined waterways that cross roads. And if you see one deer there may be a second or third following. Drivers are also reminded â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t veer for deer,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Leaving your lane of traffic could cause a collision with another vehicle or a roadside obstacle, such as a utility pole or culvert. Still, while this combination of factors challenges drivers, Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deer herd has shrunk and the number of deer related accidents has dropped significantly since 2003. This is attributed to a decade of increased deer harvest. Hunters, Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary deer management tool, increased their take of does over the last decade.
DNR To Offer Leases To Beginning Farmers DES MOINES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Beginning farmers will now have priority when it comes to leasing public land owned by the state of Iowa and managed by DNR. The change in the DNRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leasing program results from legislation passed in the spring of 2013. All DNR leased land is managed for wildlife habitat. Land quality varies from moderate to good, but most has some farming challenges, such as limited access, potential to flood or small fields. Beginning farmers are encouraged to examine the lease details carefully as most DNR leases also include requirements such as planting food plots or restricting forage cutting
dates that are not typical of standard agricultural lease agreements. Starting in early November, the DNR Realty Services will post available lease lands at www.iowadnr. gov/realty. Interested farmers have a month to review the details, before the DNR begins awarding leases. To participate in the beginning farmer program, the producer must be a permanent Iowa resident, have appropriate skills and have a net worth of less than $691,172. They must also be certified as beginning farmers by the Iowa Finance Authority. Applications are available at www.iowafinanceauthority.gov/ IADD or www.iowadnr.gov/realty.

Payten Ostercamp and Dexter Schafer were excited to each win a bicycle at the Kid Fest Event. The bicycles were generously donated by Monarch Therapy of Parkersburg.
Record Turnout for 2013 Kid Fest The 2013 Kid Fest was a success thanks to the families and children who attended the event on September 21. There were 87 families and a total of 273 adults and children who participated in the event at the Butler County Fairgrounds in Allison. There were also 18 organizations that participated in the event. The organizations that participated in Kid Fest provided information about resources for families with children in Butler County, as well as fun activities for the kids. The agencies and organizations that participated in the event, in no particular order, are: MidWest One Bank of Parkersburg, United Healthcare, Butler County Public Health, Together 4 Families/Community Partnership for Protecting Children, Pathways Behavioral Services, Cedar Valley Friends of the Family, Child Care Resource and Referral, Lutheran Services in Iowa/Families Together II Program, North Iowa Community Action/I-Smiles and FaDSS (Family Development and Self-Sufficiency Program), Butler County Libraries, Waverly Health Center, Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa, Life Connections, Butler County Emergency Management & local emergency departments, Iowa Kids Net, Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clinic, and Butler County Development. Each family attending the 2013 Kid Fest received Butler Bucks and two lucky children won bikes. The bikes were generously donated by Monarch Therapy. Payten Ostercamp won the little girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bike, and Dexter Schafer won the little boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bike. In addition to the information, activities, and door prizes, participants were also served a light lunch that consisted of tacos in bag, cookies
and drinks. The children were also able to have customized balloon animals created just for them! Once again, Butler County Visions of Well-Being Group members heard lots of positive comments from families during the event. Butler County Visions of Well-Being President, Shawna Lebeck, commented that the event is the result of a lot of teamwork and community support. Special thanks goes to the Butler County Visions of Well-Being Group members for their help in planning and organizing the event; to the Community Partnership for Protecting Children for providing financial support; to local grocery stores such as J&C Grocery, T&M Foods, Brothers Market, as well as Tysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the food donations; to MidWest One for the napkins provided for the lunch; to those who shared resource information and provided activities for the children; to the Butler County Fair Board for allowing the use of the Butler County Fairgrounds for the event; and to the community volunteers who helped register participants, take pictures during the event, assist with the completion of participant surveys, distribute door prizes and serve the food. This event would not be possible without all the support! Overall, the event went very well and plans are already underway to sponsor this event again next year. Now that Kid Fest is done for the year, the group is anxious to move on to their next community project, which is Christmas Cheer. Community support and local donations will be needed to assist Butler County households in need during the holiday season. More details regarding the project will be available in the near future.
