Local barn to again be featured on Iowa Barn Foundation tour By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — For the eighth consecutive year, a local barn will be featured on the Iowa Barn Foundation’s Fall Barn Tour. The Younker Family Heritage Farm, currently owned by the Mike Peterson family, was first built in the 1890s and used, at least from the 1930s on, as a dairy barn. Peterson said his family homesteaded the land the barn is located on in 1854 and built the barn, though he is unsure of its entire history. “There’s a gap in knowledge of, especially me and my sister and my mom of who really did what to the farm out here,” he said. “Mom grew up in Cedar Falls, so she never came out to the farm very much until her father passed away. We don’t know when the buildings were built, when they were torn down …” Its owners before Peterson included William F. Younker, George F. Younker and Stella A. Younker as well as

Vina Younker Toslebe, Oscar Tostlebe and Peterson’s mother, Eleanor Tostlebe Peterson, whose ownership went from 1964 until her death less than two years ago. The 115-foot by 30-foot Younker barn is unique because of its mortise and tenon, pegged construction that used no nails. “It has big, huge beams and is overbuilt because they didn’t have the technology to built the roofs without all the extra beams and bracing,” Peterson said. “It’s all handmade … made on the ground. Then these beams were raised up, the rafters were put up. When you get inside you can see all the massive beams.” It also features a 24-foot tall wooden silo inside it. “That’s pretty unusual to have them still survive,” Peterson said. “That silo was built by the Indiana Silo Company, its patent date is 1909. The silo was probably put up right at the turn of the century and whether the barn was added on to, we have some theories about

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review APLINGTON — As deadlines near for the City of Aplington to complete its water tower project, city leaders received an update on the progress of getting piping completed to hook the tower to the city water system. Brent Stansbury, a contractor for Maguire Iron, told the Council that the project will not be done before the Oct. 1 deadline due to a number of issues, particularly difficulty with boring for pipes. “If all goes well we hope to have all of the bore work done by the end of the month,” he said. Once the boring is complete, tie-ins would still need to be completed before the water tower can go online. Stansbury said he hopes to do all of the tie-in work at the same time and that he is looking at having the tank online by the end of October. Ryken Engineering’s Don Moore noted that if the project is not done by Oct. 1 it will affect the city’s operating permit. Stansbury asked Moore if the city could request that the permit be extended to Oct. 31. Council questioned at length why the project was taking so long and why Stansbury waited so long to begin the work. “We were hoping you would be here June 8,” Councilman Alan Meyer said. Stansbury said some of the problems that came up were unforeseen, calling the boring work a “wildcard” in the process. He also said he had hoped to start the project March 31, but that the city asked him to wait until school let out for the summer. “We didn’t want to shut the water off to the school,” Mayor Jason Mehmen said. “They would have to let school out. “You bid the job, you have to figure out how to get it done,” he said. Meyer said the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) needs a detailed report on the progress of the project and anticipated schedule by Sept. 26. At that point the DNR will decide whether or not to grant the city an extension to its permit.

it.” The barn faced a turning point around 2003. At that time the person who rented the farm was not going to use the barn and somebody had begun stealing siding from it.

“Two-thirds of the south side was taken off … the barn was just open,” Peterson said. “We had to decide if we were going to save it or tear it down.”

Barn from page 1 It was at that point that the family came into contact with the Barn Foundation, which encouraged them to save it. Over the next several years they replaced the siding and the roof and painted it. Though the family followed Iowa Barn Foundation guidelines, it did the restoration without a grant from the Foundation. That earned the barn an Award of Distinction from the Foundation. Peterson said he and his sister Jean Jones, who co-owns the barn with him, will be at the barn for the self-guided tours Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. “We enjoy it very much,” Peterson said of the tour. “It’s just a joy to have people come through and look at it and ask questions, and I enjoy sharing what I know.” Peterson said many people who own barns on the Foundation Tour have in-

timate knowledge of their entire history. “We don’t know that for sure,” he said. “I just enjoy the heck out of having people come out and look around.” Peterson said those that visit the barn during the tour run the gamut from barn aficionados to local people curious about it. “Different people who are from the area and live a couple of miles away have said ‘I’ve always wanted to look in that barn and never did’,” he said. The barn is located at 25734 Highway 57, just east of the Sinclair Blacktop, on the south side of the highway. This is the only Butler County barn on the tour this year. Other area barns on the tour are located in Grundy Center, Cedar Falls, Waverly and Dysart. For a complete listing go to www.iowabarnfoundation.org/tours/2016allstate-intro.htm

CLARKSVILLE — Owing to recent heavy rains that left lots of water on the trails, the 44th Annual Juvenile Diabetes Trail Ride has been rescheduled to Saturday, Oct. 8 and Sunday, Oct. 9 in rural Clarksville. When Butch Freeseman’s son Rodney was 1 ½, the boy was diagnosed with diabetes. Soon after, in 1972, the elder Freeseman, of Allison, started the annual trail ride to raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). “The water’s just too high,” Freeseman said. “It was just impossible to have it this coming weekend.” The trail ride starts at 11 a.m., sharp on Saturday at the Mr. and Mrs. Terry Engel residence, 27389 180th Street, Clarksville and crosses farm ground in Clarksville and surrounding areas, near the Shell Rock River. Riders over age 13 pay $5 a day; 13 and under may ride for no donation if they choose. Saturday’s ride includes a 5:30-7:30 p.m., free-will donation pork loin potluck supper. Bring a potluck dish. Following supper, at 8 p.m., will be a dance at Doc›s Restaurant Lounge to the band, Borderline. There will also be an auction, including four processed halves of hog, and 50/50 cash raffle. (Need not be present to win if including phone number.) At some point during the ride, Rodney Freeseman will give an educational update on the state of diabetes today, Butch Freeseman said. The Cowboy Church performance will unroll at 9 a.m. Sunday, followed by a prompt 11 a.m. departure on horseback. This is to be Butch’s last year coordinating the trail ride.

With only about one-third of the eligible 1,503 voters going to the polls, the Parkersburg School Bond issue for $990,000 was defeated last Tuesday. Of the 507 voters, 272 voted yes and 234 voted no. The issue needed 60 percent support to pass and received 54 percent. The Parkersburg Lions Club is planning its annual door-to-door light bulb and popcorn fundraising drive. The Lions are having this sale for the benefit of their work in sight conservation and other community service activities.

According to McCollum, the incident in question is a procedural item that happened more than two years ago.

The public is invited to meet Dr. John H. Lalor during an open house at the Parkersburg Medical Center Sunday, Sept. 28. Dr. Lalor, his staff and Allen Hospital personnel will look forward to seeing you. In light turnout at the School Board elections last Tuesday, following were local results.

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News Review Homecoming is one of the annual highlights of fall at area high schools. Whether you are a student, alumnus or even a fan, it’s a week to look forward to and have fun. One of the things I look forward to each time I come to a new community is to see what homecoming is about. Is it mostly just a school activity (as it was in Fairfield, where I went to school), or is it a full community celebration like it was in Vinton. Every school does things just a little different – kind of like the differences from town festival to town festival. I’ll admit that my experiences with homecoming celebrations in the various communities I have worked in has been a combination of good and bad. One town I worked in very nearly cancelled homecoming because student behavior was incredibly poor and distasteful … we’re talking about things far beyond normal kids’ pranks there. Other towns have a celebration so small that you barely notice it happening. Oelwein had a new principal one year who made a lot of changes … enough that a lot of people missed the crowning of the queen at the pep rally. I wrote an editorial for the paper the next day that I received more plaudits for than about anything I’d written in my seven years working in Oelwein. The following year that principal was gone and the celebration returned to the way it had been before. On the more positive side, I watched Grundy Center transform its celebration from one that the community basically ignored to something it embraced. The key ingredient was a pep rally downtown the Sunday leading into homecoming week where the candidates were introduced. The community was invited to help students decorate the downtown and various groups performed to help build enthusiasm. I was skeptical at first of the changes, but the fact is that they had the desired effect. Our homecomings in Fairfield were a bit unusual compared to around here, in that we had a homecoming queen but not a king that I remember. Other than that it was pretty similar to others around here. We had dress-up days and float building (neither of which I participated in), and I think there might have been powder puff football one night. The school had a massive pep rally the afternoon of the football game at the gazebo uptown. The football team climbed on the big fire truck for the short parade to the rally, where the band played and Coach Smith said some words of wisdom. Though I don’t remember who was queen the other years, I recall that one of the really nice girls in the school, Rita, won my senior year. I’m pretty sure everyone except the other candidates’ boyfriends were happy for her. My senior year, as a way to get students involved, Coach Smith actually invited us to storm the field and celebrate if we won. Can you imagine what would happen if that happened today? Coach probably would have been fired and maybe even arrested! There wasn’t even a reason for us to storm the field — our team was ranked really high (maybe even No. 1) and it was just short of a given that we would win. But he encouraged us to do it, we did it … and did it at every other home game after that. Let’s just say sportsmanship was not nearly the priority in 1988 that it is today, and I have a funny feeling that even by that day’s standards, Fairfield’s sportsmanship wasn’t all that good. You know who hates homecoming more than anyone else? Football coaches. To them, homecoming is a distraction unlike any other. In a lot of cases their concerns are justified. Many high school football teams catch what I refer simply to as “homecoming disease,” which, simply put, is a lack of focus in practices leading up to the game that tends to lead to poor performances. That’s one of the reasons that some schools try to play their homecoming game against one of the lesser teams on their schedule. The one thing I’ve never actually done is go home for homecoming. I didn’t go to college too far from home, but never had the desire to return, and have always worked football on Friday nights since. That’s also meant that I haven’t been able to attend our class reunions, which have been over homecoming weekend. • • • I don’t like to do this that often, but I feel a need to clear up a few things about the way we handle submitted news here. While the Eclipse News-Review values your submitted news copy – it helps make a community newspaper strong – we still must follow a set of policies regarding such content. Among those guidelines are editing of stories to meet both company and professional newspaper standards. The most common reason we edit is simply for spelling, punctuation and consistency. Also, if something is submitted in first-person (indicating that it is talking directly to the reader) it will usually be re-written to third-person. Dates will also be changed to a consistent format and sentence structure may be modified so that it is easier for readers to understand. The other main reason we edit is to conform to company policies. We were asked last week about why things had been left out of submitted items. I was a bit perplexed by this question, as we do not leave content out, until I thought of our news briefs and stories about upcoming community events such as dinners. Though I am unsure what the policy for these was under previous ownership, our company-wide policy is that menu items (such as what is being served for dinner) and costs for events have to be left out. If we included these items, we would need to charge you for an ad. We do attempt to indicate that there is a cost and will provide a phone number or e-mail address where people can get more information if such information is available. When I worked in Grundy Center we experimented with a paid brief policy that allowed menu items and costs, though we had almost no takers and it just seemed to upset people. Within six weeks we abandoned the policy. Our briefs policy also restricts free briefs to events that occur in communities within our readership area and surrounding communities, including Ackley, Allison, Aplington, Austinville, Clarksville, Dike, Grundy Center, Kesley, New Hartford, Parkersburg, Stout and surrounding areas. Events occurring in Cedar Falls or Waterloo generally are not eligible for free briefs. The biggest thing I ask is that when you feel like something is changed, and wonder why, please politely ask us about it. Thank you for understanding.

Be safe out there! The third week in September has been designated as National Farm Safety & Health Week. We may be looking at some record harvests this year which makes the task of protecting everyone on the farm even more important. According to Dan Neenan, Director of the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety in Peosta, before harvest begins is a critical time to check over all equipment and make sure all repairs and necessary maintenance is completed. The Marshfield Children’s Center states that every three days a child is killed on a farm and 33 kids are injured. Neenan states the importance of the “one-seat, one-rider policy.” Brandi Janssen, Director of Iowa’s Center for Agricultural Safety and Health, says that the fall rush to get work done is a big safety concern. Sometimes rushing results in poor judgment, which results in injuries or fatalities. The forecast of bad weather results in farmers working late in the fields and this fatigue can also lead to poor judgment. Most harvest injuries and fatalities are the result of improper equipment use. Janssen says it’s important to keep kids far away from the equipment. Make sure all guards and shields are in place. Check those SMV signs to make sure they are in the correct place and can easily be seen. Several tips farm equipment operators can use are: Use tractor with ROPS, safety belts and proper lights. Flashing or LED lights can easily be seen and must be in good working order. Stay as close to right side of the road as possible. All drivers can use the following tips: Keep eyes on the road, hands on the wheel and mind on driving. Put cell phones away! Look up and look ahead to check for hazards. Drop back and use the 3 or 4 second rule to maintain safe distance. This also will increase visibility. Anticipate turning destinations of equipment operators. Farm fields, field entrances, etc. can be clues. Use your safety belts and turning signals. Share safety precautions with younger drivers.

Respect By JO LEWIS I don’t know why, but every week it seems as if God gives me thoughts about something to write. Recently, after spending a few days in the hospital due to an infection, I decided it was time to get things settled around to the recycling bin, but I needed help, I just couldn’t lift it all, so I decided to find some help. I drove to an apartment complex, hoping to find someone. No one answered at the first door I tried, but then I saw a young man walking in the lot and decided to ask him if he knew anyone who needed a job. He immediately responded, ‘I do, I do.’ I asked him how old he was. He said ’13,’ but I work for …. You can talk to him.’ I said we needed to ask his mother, so she came out of the apartment complex and we introduced ourselves. She said it was OK that he could help me after I told her what we would be doing. So it was almost noon. I told him I would buy him a sandwich and pop at the Kwik Star, since he said he hadn’t had breakfast. He said he was ready to go to work. So we loaded up the van with cardboard, boxes, pop cans and newspapers. He did it all! Respect. Then we, or should I say he, took some things to the basement for me, where he saw some items I was going to pitch. He

asked me very politely if he could have a pair of boots that me husband had worn many years ago. There were two pairs – one pair was for fishing. He asked my husband if he could have them and they ended up on his feet. Respect. I could go on and tell more, but my story is about how this young man wasn’t sitting in the house playing games on the computer or watching TV. He wanted to work. Respect is all I have for this young boy. He asked me if he could help again. Wow! Well, when it was time to quit, I was getting tired, I loaded him up with some treasures tio take home and handed him a couple of paper bills (money) and he just looked at them. So I asked if he wanted to go to the dollar store to spend his money? He said, ‘No. I’m going to give it to my mom so she can use it.’ Respect. I really wanted to close by saying we are all God’s children, no matter where we live, who we are or what we have. Sometimes I think we look down at some people because maybe we have nicer homes, fancy cars, a boat and expensive clothes. This young boy shows so much love for his family and others around him and is so grateful for what he has and can do.

Drug Free Workplace Supervisor Training planned Alcohol and other drugs impact profitability of companies as well as the health and safety of their employees. According to Bureau of Labor statistics, about 77 percent of drug abusers are employed. Twenty-one percent of workers report being injured or put in dancer, having to re-do work or cover for another employee, or needing to

work harder due to others’ drinking. Supervisor and employee education is a critical component of a drug-free workplace. It can help them learn more the hazards of substance abuse and help them understand policies and rules of their workplaces. Education on this important subject can help supervisors and employees become more familiar with the steps they can

take to get help for themselves and their families. A drug-free workplace training for supervisors will be held Monday, Sept. 26 from 9 to 11 a.m. at MidWestOne Bank in Parkersburg. There is a charge for this training, which will provide information regarding the prevalence of drug and alcohol abuse, supervisor-specific responsibilities in

implementing companies’ drug-free policies, what constitute reasonable suspicion of drug or alcohol abuse, ways to recognize and deal with employees who have job-performance problems that could be related to alcohol and other drugs and more. To register, contact Nora Kurtovic or Vicki Mueller at Pathways Behavior Services, 319-235-6571.

The book description from Amazon reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happens quietly one August morning. As dawnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shimmering light drenches the humid Iowa air, two families awaken to find their little girls have gone missing in the night. Seven-year-old Calli Clark is sweet, gentle, a dreamer who suffers from selective mutism brought on by tragedy that pulled her deep into silence as a toddler. Calliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Antonia, tried to be the best mother she could within the confines of marriage to a mostly absent, often angry husband. Now, though she denies that her husband could be involved in the possible abductions, she fears her decision to stay in her marriage has cost her more than her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice. Petra Gregory is Calliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend, her soul mate and her voice. But neither Petra nor Calli has been heard from since their disappearance was discovered. Desperate to find his child, Martin Gregory is forced to confront a side of himself he did not know existed beneath his intellectual, professorial demeanor. Now these families are tied by the question of what happened to their children. And the answer is trapped in the silence of unspoken family secrets.â&#x20AC;?

STEM at A-P By Riley Ellermann The Aplington-Parkersburg School District is working to incorporate STEM. STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines science, technology, engineering and mathematics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. STEAM includes art as a fifth discipline. Project Lead The Way

(PLTW) is a United States non-profit organization that develops STEM curricula for use by elementary, middle, and high schools. PLTW also provides professional development training for instructors. STEM and PLTW are something that all the schools in the A-P district use. We look forward to seeing good things coming out of STEM and PLTW.

Butler County Public Health plans flu shot clinics Its flu shot time again and Butler County Public Health is planning for another flu shot season. Clinics this year will be held during the first two weeks of October in Allison, Aplington, Clarksville, Dumont, Greene and Parkersburg. Influenza associated diseases are the leading cause of death that can be prevented by immunization in the United States. It is currently recommended that all people over 6 months of age receive an annual season influenza shot. This is especially important in young children, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions, such as asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease, all people over age 65 years of age and health care workers. Children younger than 6 months are at high risk for serious flu illness but are too young to be vaccinated. People who care for those less than 6 months of age should be vaccinated instead. The cost of the flu shot will be $30

and is covered by Medicare Part B. Only the traditional Red, White and Blue Medicare will be accepted. You can still receive a flu shot, if you have an alternate Medicare plan, but you will need to pay for the shot that day and a receipt will be sent to you so that you can file your own claim with your insurance. Following are the dates and times for our upcoming clinics: Oct. 3, Allison Courthouse, 4-6 p.m. Oct. 4, Greene Community Center, 1-4 p.m. Oct. 5, Parkersburg Civic Center, 1-3 p.m. Oct. 10, Dumont American Legion Hall, 4-5:30 p.m. Oct. 11, Clarksville AmVets Hall, 1-4 p.m. Oct. 12, Aplington School lunch room, 4-6 p.m. If you have questions, please call 319-267-2934.

The first place we went to was the Strawberry Hill Farm and Garden near Strawberry Point. The person at the farm first told us how they got into milking goats, the problems they had with stray voltage and then she decided to have tours and share some of the things they were doing with the public and those who have never been on a farm. We first were shown different breeds of chickens, some turkeys and the peacocks. She had baby chicks, rabbits and two small dairy calves. We toured the milking pallor and then the different groups of milking goats. That noon we went to the Back Home Country Cooking restaurant to eat. This place was new after rebuilding after a fire. We all could have what we wanted. It was all very good according to everyone. Next was The Richardson-Jakway Historic Site, which is managed by the Buchanan County Conservation Board. Abiathar Richardson, a native of Maine, arrived in Iowa in 1849 and built a log cabin on the west side of Buffalo Creek. He became the first settler in what came to be know as Buf-

falo Township in Buchanan County, Iowa. In 1851 he built the first frame house in the township. Richardson was an experienced woodsman who worked in the ship building trade. He fashioned every joint and every beam, and split the shingles out of native oak and walnut from his own timber. The house was painted the romantic color of red. The little village grew around the house and was Buffalo Township. His house was used as a polling place for the first election, and housed Buffalo Grove post office from 1857 to 1885. He was the first postmaster. The home also served as a stage coach in from 1857-1886. Our last stop was at Fontana Nature Center. The park had different animals such as as ducks, eagles, owls, bears, tigers and others. There also was a field with buffalo. Their museum had hides, stuffed animals and many more items that kids could do. This concluded our family fun day. Those who attended were Bob and Aime Bill, Justin, Hannah and family, Justin, Javin and Jenta Faust, Tristan and Deidre Easton, Audre and Sedona Oldenburger, Melissa Henrichs and family, Roy, Shiloh and Melanie Johnson, Nolan, Kim, Wyatt and Birley Junker, and Carolyn Johnson.

An Uplifting Moment Rev. Dave Claassen

Cross this Bridge at a Walk Covered bridges built a century ago or more still take traffic across streams and rivers throughout our country. These bridges are a nostalgic part of the countryside. Tourist oriented organizations or local governments encourage a covered bridge tour in their area with maps and information. Many of the bridges have the intriguing words “Cross This Bridge at a Walk” painted on both ends. In the horse and buggy days there was a concern that vibrations from the pounding rhythm of horse hooves could damage the bridges. Soldiers would also break cadence when crossing the bridges to prevent harmful vibrations. “Cross This Bridge at a Walk” reminded folks to slow down when they traveled over the bridge. The message is good for us today too, even though we might not be crossing a covered bridge. Living in the fast paced world as we do, the reminder to slow our pace is a good one, and we have a number of sayings that remind us to do so. “Haste makes waste,” and “Stop and smell the roses” are examples. Then there’s Simon and Garfunkel’s song “59th Bridge Street Song (Feelin’ Groovy).” The lyrics go like this, “Slow down, you move too fast. You got to make the morning last.” Sometimes when I’m walking by a rosebush I’ll actually stop to smell it. I do this not only to enjoy the fragrance but to remind myself to slow down and embrace the moment. We too easily rush from yesterday into today and on to tomorrow. The amazing, intriguing, beautiful, and often important details go by in an indistinguishable blur. Developing and deepening relationships also require a slowing of pace; you can’t rush relationships. Then too, our relationship with God is best nurtured by slowing enough to hear His still, small voice and to discern His presence that is often missed when we are rushing. “Cross This Bridge at a Walk” was a good reminder in bygone days for those crossing a covered bridge. “Take This Day at a Walk” is a good paraphrase that we can and should apply to today! “I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have calmed and quieted myself...” (Psalm 131:1b-2a)

BY SHANNON RIES

Please, please be praying for these little ones today. They are facing so much pressure and being exposed to so much for their developing minds to deal with. May God intervene and guide their attention towards Him by using us. For over 20 school years now, I have been volunteering as a tutor in the local school where we work. First it was in Chicago and now it is here at Garfield Elementary in Elgin. I love helping the children in their studies and thus, helping them in their future walks. I may have mentioned before that this year I spend 2 days with a 1st/2nd grade split class and 2 days a week with a 5th /6th grade one. The teachers definitely have their hands full and I am glad I can help. Now school definitely can bring enough pressure by itself, but for many of these kids, there are pressures at home as well. I have a 5th grade girl I have worked with who is truly the definition of a “little sweetheart.” She is trying hard and seems to get along with everyone, always having a smile on her face. She is about average in her school work but is studying hard it seems. Last week while I was talking to her teacher though, I found out a little of what she is facing at home. She has 4 older brothers, all of whom have become involved in a gang here. What is thier influence on her at home? Does she hear them talking about their lives on the streets? What is their influence? For privacy issues, I cannot mention this little girl’s name, but God knows who she is and knows her situation better than any of us. Please be praying for her and her school work. Please also especially be praying for her home situation and the pressures she deals with there. May God protect her and shield her, holding her close to His side. And please be praying for her brothers as well. Thank you so much.

Skid-steer safety

Aplington from page 1 Mehmen, who also does contracting services, asked why the service lines need to be so deep. Moore said that was to create the required 1 Â˝-foot clearance to other lines. The mayor also wondered why pulling the lines has been so difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bad deal,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be in this position,â&#x20AC;? Stansbury said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be here today.â&#x20AC;? Stansbury added that he will have a much better idea of how long it will take to get the new tower connected once the boring is complete. Another issue facing the city, according to officials, is that the incomplete work on the water tower could affect street resurfacing work scheduled for this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is (the DNR) is going to hold our feet to the fire,â&#x20AC;? Coun-

â&#x20AC;˘ 8:16 p.m.: Officers were called to a family domestic matter in the 400 block of Spruce St. â&#x20AC;˘ 8:22 p.m.: Officers were called to a dog/deer/livestock matter in the 1200 block of Circle Dr. Saturday, September 17: â&#x20AC;˘ Officers executed two traffic stops, assisted with four medical calls, assisted a motorist, and received a report of two controlled burns. â&#x20AC;˘ 5:59 a.m.: Officers were called to a dog/deer/livestock matter near the intersection of Sinclair Ave. and Highway 57. â&#x20AC;˘ 10:52 a.m.: Officers were called to a trespassing report in the 31200 block of Butler Center Road. â&#x20AC;˘ 11:25 a.m.: Officers were called to a dog/deer/livestock matter in the 1000 block of Beaver St. â&#x20AC;˘ 2:54 p.m.: Officers were called to a family domestic matter in the 700 block of Church St. Sunday, September 18: â&#x20AC;˘ Officers executed seven traffic stops, assisted with four medical calls, and received a report of a controlled burn. â&#x20AC;˘ 12:03 a.m.: Officers executed a traffic stop near the intersection of S. Main St. and W. Walnut St. Officers arrested Lucas Eimers, 29, of Clarksville, for second offense operating while intoxicated. He was placed in a cell and held overnight. â&#x20AC;˘ 8:09 a.m.: Officers were called to a family domestic matter in the 900

cilman Jerry Orr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to hold your feet to the fire.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only thing I can do is apologize,â&#x20AC;? Stansbury said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do my (darndest) to get this done.â&#x20AC;? Every day after Oct. 1 that the project continues will cost Stansbury a $1,000 penalty. Mayor Mehmen also noted that Stansbury used an unauthorized subcontractor for some of the work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could have walked down there and told him to go home,â&#x20AC;? Mehmen said. Stansbury said at this point he is still unsure how long the project will take. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be two months â&#x20AC;Ś I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? he said. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the Council elected to eliminate yard waste pickup within the City. Residents will

be able to purchase yard waste bags and bring yard and garden waste to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brush site. Public Works Director Blake Hovenga asked the City Council if he could explore the purchase of either a cordless or gas-powered pole saw to help him safely trim low-hanging limbs from trees. Council gave the go-ahead for him to investigate cost of such equipment. Hovenga also discussed the need for a computer and Internet access at the city shop so that his department can file DNR forms that they will be required to file electronically after the first of the year. Council approved pay application No. 6 to Blazek Corporation in the amount of $33429.55 for work on the wastewater treatment facility, on which progress continues.

Applications are due Sept. 30 for the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vacant police officer position. Physical testing will begin Oct. 15. Council approved the resignation of Councilman Randy Ubben due to health concerns. The Council will proceed with appointing someone to finish the term ending December, 2017. Anyone who is a resident of Aplington and would like to be considered for the appointment should let the city clerk, mayor or a council member know. Aplington trick-or-treating was set for Saturday, Oct. 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. Council approved a $1,000 contribution to the Aplington Historical Society for funding of a sign and landscaping the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mill Raceâ&#x20AC;? west of town. The path of the mill race is still visible by the trenches. The Aplington Milling Company was in business in the late 1800s.

By NANCY JENSEN Between the years 1980 to 1997 and depending on the source used, there were between 20 and 54 skid-steer facilities in the U.S. While this may not seem like a huge number when proper safety measures are used, this number should be closer to 0. Skid steers are designed to get into small places to clean, feed or transport and are great at their jobs. However, improper operation of skid-steer loaders can put workers at risk of rollover and run-over incidents. Operators can be hit by a lift arm or caught between a lift arm and the machine frame if they lean or reach out. Current safeguards found on skidsteer loaders are: Control interlocks to prevent unintentional control activation. Rollover Protective Structures and Operator Restraints to keep operator inside the machine during a rollover.

This practice can benefit both the farmer and the teen if proper training takes place. Young employees (14-24) have an increased risk of injuries for several reasons.

Their limited experience in the workforce Their lack of ability to identify safety hazards on the job Added to those two reasons would be the distractibility of teens by their cell phones and the great chance of being sleep deprived. Teens seem to be night owls which is just the opposite of what many farmers are looking for in

employees. According to Dr. Diane Rohlman, Director of the Healthier Workforce for Excellence, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young workers may be experiencing rapid physical and emotional changes. They may not know how to think through a problem, transfer knowledge from one task to another, they may take unnecessary risks, and growth spurts may make

them unable to judge distances or properly estimate their abilities.â&#x20AC;? These young workers must be trained in how to do their jobs safely, how to recognize hazards and how to wear personal protective equipment. Training = learning. We never outgrow the need to learn new things and young workers have an even greater need. Training must be on going whenever a new task or piece of equipment is used for the first time. After working with teens for over 20 years in the classroom, I know most teens who are working on farms respond best to hands-on training. After showing how to do something, watch them do it and answer questions. By doing this you are setting an example and a standard for how and why a task should be done. Anytime a worker is on an ATV or Gator, the seatbelts must be used. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the first things our grandsons learned before operating the Gator. Do we need young workers on the farm these days? In many cases, yes! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to let them know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected and what wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tolerated. If properly trained that teen will be welcomed back for many summers.

risp mornings, cozy sweaters and a craving for comfort foods are all sure signs that autumn is in the air. No fall menu is complete without hearty, homestyle dishes that evoke feelings of well-being and warmth, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better way to capture the flavors of fall than with the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature ingredient â&#x20AC;&#x201C; apples. Serving up fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best feel-good foods doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be hard. One clever solution: apple butter. Made from apples slow-simmered in kettles of sugar, apple cider and spices, apple butter is more than just a spread. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a versatile ingredient that can enhance your favorite sweet and savory recipes. Made with American-grown apples in the classic Pennsylvania Dutch style, Musselmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apple Butter lends a unique taste to main dishes and desserts alike. While this one-pot dinner saves time on busy fall evenings, it also boasts a rich, tangy sauce that gets a special twist from the spice of apple butter. Fall is also the perfect time for creating beloved desserts, and whoopie pie is always a winning choice. This spiced up version of the traditional favorite draws its flavor from Musselmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apple Butter, with an old-fashioned taste that is the essence of comfort food. Find more feel-good recipes for fall at musselmans. com.

Johnson, Wolverines run past Falcons By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG – Trent Johnson rushed for 270 yards and three touchdowns, lifting Dike-New Hartford to its sixth consecutive victory over Aplington-Parkersburg, 35-7, Friday at Ed Thomas Field. Johnson, who moved into the top 20 among Iowa high school career rushers Friday, scored on runs of 42, 22 and 1 yard as the Wolverines (2-2 overall, 2-0 in Class 2A, District 3) won for the second straight time after starting the season 0-2. “Trent’s special,” Wolverine coach Don Betts said. “Our offensive line is starting to come together,” he said. “We knew that we were young, we were inexperienced and it was just a matter of time for them to start fitting together and I think we’re starting to get on a roll as a group. Aplington-Parkersburg coach Alex Pollock said his team’s tackling left a lot to be desired. “I thought our defense would play better than they did,” he said. “The position group that we have relied on so far this year, our defensive line, did not play very well today. Our tackling was horrendous, there’s no better way to put it. That will be the new focus for this week will be tackling and playing harder. We just get so big-eyed in games like this that we don’t handle adversity very well.” More positive were other aspects of the game the Falcons have been struggling with. A-P had just two penalties for 15 yards in the game and turned the ball over only once. The Falcons also moved the football effectively, though usually between the 30 yard lines. A-P finished with 259 yards of total offense, 168 of which came on the ground. Fullback Lincoln Johnson finished with 130 yards on 26 carries while halfback Sam Thorn had 68 yards. Sophomore quarterback Carter Cuvelier completed 7-of-11 passes for 91 yards and a touchdown. “I thought in the first half we moved the ball very well,” Pollock said. “We just got inside the 30 and stalled, but I think that’s more a credit to their defense. They’re very well coached, they know exactly what to look for. (For us) it’s just a matter of execution and right now we’re just so up and down.

“I thought our defense played well,” Betts said. “That’s a tough scheme to play against down after down after down and I thought our defense hung in there and made plays when we needed to make plays.” Dike-New Hartford leaned more heavily on its running game than usual as it broke in a new quarterback. Betts said he found out Thursday that senior starter Rhett Ehmen (who attended the game in street clothes) would miss the game with an illness, forcing sophomore Cade Fuller into action. Fuller completed 3-of-6 pass attempts for 34 yards and did not throw either a touchdown or an interception. “Cade did a nice job coming in,” Betts said. “The lights weren’t too bright for him and that was the concern going in.” In addition to Fuller, senior Nick Durnin took several snaps from center in a wildcat formation that D-NH has run for the past couple of seasons. Friday Durnin rushed for 51 yards on six carries from the formation. APLINGTON-PARKERSBURG controlled the football for more than 10 of the first quarter’s 12 minutes, only to come up empty handed on drives that stalled at Dike-New Hartford’s 31- and 20-yard lines. “If we would score those first two drives like we could have I think the game’s completely different,” Pollock said. The Wolverines, meanwhile, scored quickly the first time they had the ball, as Johnson capped a fourplay, 69-yard drive with a 42-yard scoring run. Jackson Lage’s PAT kick made it 7-0. The teams traded punts in the second quarter until D-NH put together a drive in the final two minutes. Fuller completed a key third-down pass to Durnin for a first down at the A-P four and then Clayton Mapel took a handoff on the fly sweep and turned upfield and into the end zone for the 14-0 halftime lead. The Falcons recovered a squib kick on the first play of the second half and drove inside the Wolverine 35 before Mapel intercepted a pass that Cuvelier was attempted to fit into a tight window. D-NH responded by give the ball to its main man on every play of a seven-play, 81-yard march to the end zone culminated by Johnson’s 22-yard scoring run.

Falcon fans cheer on the team at halftime of Friday’s game against DikeNew Hartford. (John Jensen/Eclipse News-Review photo) A-P’s lone scoring drive of the night was 20 plays and consumed more than seven minutes. The Falcons converted three third downs and a fourth down before Chase Kling went the final four yards to the end zone on a pass reception from Cuvelier. Jacob Abbas’ kick made it a 21-7 game. Any hopes of a Falcon comeback ended quickly. D-NH fell on the A-P squib kick near midfield and needed just five plays to find the end zone on a four-yard Durnin run. The Wolverines would add one more touchdown late in the game to account for their final margin of victory. Both teams celebrate homecoming Friday night, with Aplington-Parkersburg hosting South Hardin and DikeNew Hartford hosting West Marshall.
