High school students attend Precision Ag and Animal Science Field Days Sept. 13 and 14

NASHUA (ISUEO) – Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach hosts Precision Ag and Animal Science Field Days for high school students. Students from area high schools, grades nine through 12, were invited to spend a day at the ISU Experimental Research Farm near Nashua for the day Sept. 13 or 14.

Both days were filled with multiple school districts being represented by 233 students through the field days, according to Kendra Crooks, 4-H youth specialist. The global purpose of the field days was to engage students in hands-on learning and create awareness of endless possibilities of careers right here in Northern Iowa.

Youth with an education in animal science are qualified for a wide variety of challenging careers. There are over 500 different job classifications for animal science careers. Precision agriculture is being used more and more in farming. With the increasing availability of such mapping technologies as GPS (Global Positioning Systems) and GIS (Geographical Information Systems), precision agriculture technicians will install, operate, troubleshoot and repair precision agriculture systems. Technicians will also use the advanced processing software to collect, visualize and analyze data.

ISU Extension and Outreach is building on existing partnerships PRECISION AG to page 2

2016 Flu Shot Clinics announced 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. See the schedule at the bottom of the article to find a clinic nearby.

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 seasonal 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. WE WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTING TRADITIONAL RED, WHITE AND BLUE MEDICARE. 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: Location, Date, Time Allison Courthouse, Oct. 3, 4-6 p.m.

Greene Community Center, Oct. 4, 1-4 p.m.

Annual roadside survey results for small game released

By Adam Janke, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa – For those living in rural Iowa, the sight of a brood of young game birds, like Hungarian partridge, bobwhite quail or ring-necked pheasant, is probably a common and welcome sight on morning drives down dusty roads.

Sometime during August there was a different sight on those roadways, wildlife biologists from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources slowly surveying the roadside. That’s because the Iowa DNR logged 6,000 miles counting birds and rabbits in their annual August Roadside Survey. The results released on Aug. 30 showed little change from last year, a promising result for gamebird populations that have shown population declines in most years of the survey’s 55-year history.

Survey data analysis conducted by the Iowa DNR revealed that although there were slight increases or decreases in some regions, almost all of these changes, particularly within the core distribution of each bird’s range in the state, were within the margin of error in the survey.

This year’s survey results builds on three consecutive years of relatively SPEED from page 1 comes from lots of experience tinkering on cars and motorcycles,” Longus said.

“The current Bonneville Salt Flats project started in early 2014,” Longus said. “I’m all in, builder, rider and financer of the project.”

“I’m building a 494cc motorcycle that is a pushrod-based engine,” he said. “It started life as a 1000cc Buell XB9R V-twin but by removing the rear cylinder it fit within the 500cc class at Bonneville, hence the large number of custom parts.”

He explained why he chose this subtype of motorcycle to attempt to break the record.

“I already owned the 1000cc Buell XB9R which had a bad engine from previously being road raced,” Longus said. “I looked into what it would take to build the 1000cc bike but the time and cost to compete in the 1000cc class seemed cost prohibitive. The 500cc class records looked very achievable and the challenge to try to go fast with such a

PRECISION AG from page 1 with high schools, FFA chapters, homeschool families, colleges, businesses, and industries to offer these field days. The goal is to connect youth with local businesses and industry leaders creating awareness of this fast changing industry by providing information and resources on how to prepare for these careers.

All high schools were invited from northeast and north central counties.

All sessions took place at the Northeast Research and Demonstration Farm located near Nashua, Iowa.

The farm is owned by the Northeast Iowa Experimental Association.

Each day students learned from eight stations with some stations varying by the day. Event presenters included Iowa State University – College of Agriculture, Hawkeye Community College, Ellsworth Community College, NRCS, Iowa Honey Bee Producer Association, ISU Research and Experimental Farm, ISU Monarch Research Project Consortium.

In fact, the 2016 bobwhite index from the roadside surveys suggests bobwhites are more abundant in Iowa’s southern counties

small engine was hard to resist.”

In the early stages of the project there was a lot of waiting on custom parts to be built such as the crankshaft and headwork. These parts were farmed out to leading people in their fields “and you just have to wait your turn in line to have your parts built or worked on.”

Now that the engine is assembled, time is spent on fabricating custom components to bring all these parts together.

“It’s hard to calculate how many hours per week I spend on the project but I am making steady progress to have [the] bike running by spring,” he said.

“I’m shooting for competition by spring and hope to test the bike at a paved mile event in either Ohio or Arkansas, first. The main goal will be to compete at the 69th annual Speed Week at the Bonneville Salt Flats, August 2017, where I’ll attempt to set a new record for the class this bike is built for.

Will he be driving it in the attempt at the record?

“Of course!!” Longus said.

This means he needs a special license.

“In order to compete at Bonneville in a car or a motorcycle you must first complete rookie orientation and run for a license. I accomplished that last August and now hold a “D” level license which clears me to race up to 150mph. Since the class records for the 500cc bike are below that I will be ready to race once the bike is done and has passed safety and technical inspection.

From a mechanical standpoint, Longus said, “I’m building this bike to compete in the blown class, meaning it can be either supercharged or turbocharged. My bike runs a turbocharger with an intercooler and is fuel injected. I’ll be running full bodywork to help aerodynamics as well.”

“You are pretty much allowed to do whatever you want as long as the engine does not exceed to class cc limits. I’m planning on competing in the gasoline class and the fuel class where the bike will also be outfitted

this year than they have been since the late 1980s.

This relative stability in the state’s resident game bird populations owes to two main factors: favorable weather conditions over winter and during the spring nesting period and the availability of habitat in Iowa’s countryside.

With over 95 percent of Iowa’s land area in private land ownership, the stability of game bird and all wildlife populations in Iowa is driven by efforts made to conserve wildlife habitat on working lands by the state’s farmers, ranchers and property owners.

Gamebirds like pheasants, quail and partridge need grassy fields to lay their nests, weedy or flower-rich patches for their young to catch insects and grow, and dense, warm cover like shrubs and brambles to keep warm and escape predators during winter. These important habitats can be found anywhere from weedy spots left by the mower, to shrubby fencerows, timber stands, or entire fields enrolled in conservation programs. Collectively, they ensure the enjoyable sight of a brood of game birds escaping the wet grass on warm August mornings across Iowa each fall.

For more information about managing land for game birds and other wildlife, check the resources on the small game program website from the Iowa DNR, a recent Small Farms newsletter article about managing habitat for game birds from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, or the Extension wildlife website.

with nitrous oxide injection for more power.”

With these speeds, safety is paramount.

“For land speed or road racing, a leather race suit is required,” Longus said. “These suits have strategically placed armor throughout the suit for safety, mine is 50 percent cow hide and 50 percent kangaroo hide; the kangaroo hide is half the weight of cow hide and just as strong. Gloves have to be leather with gauntlet sleeves and you must wear a fullfaced helmet that had been constructed after 2010.

“The bike has to be safety wired in critical areas to prevent any fasteners from working loose, a steering stabilizer and steel chain guard must also be added. The faster you go the more safety requirements, as well.”

STAR/TRIBUNE-JOURNAL EDITORIAL

Learning on the farm Accountability should apply at the top

Accountability starts with the voter, but should never end with the elected official at the top.

If it is determined that there is something wrong with the Iowa Medicaid privatization and services do not get paid, then the officials who privatized Iowa Medicaid need to be accountable for it. The very same concept should apply at the very top of the Iowa government when it comes to constitutionality of the closing of facilities such as Clarinda, Mount Pleasant, and [Independence Mental Health Institute]’s

Cromwell Children’s Unit: If the Iowa Supreme Court finds that those closings violated the law, then Governor Terry Branstad should be held accountable.

In my endeavor as write-in candidate for Iowa House District 54, I support expanding Iowa Medicaid instead of privatizing it, reversing the closure of Mount Pleasant, Clarinda and MHI, and I also stand for funding all Iowa schools properly.

The wall

I am constantly bombarded with email forwards about the dastardly deeds and potential dangers of Islamic extremism and other foreign interlopers.

A wall on the Mexican border has become the popular solution. This will supposedly protect American workers from the unfair competition of people who want to work hard. And the jihadis will not be able to get through and blow things up.

The claim that “illegals” are receiving benefits that should be reserved only for citizens opens up a topic that is largely ignored but the most important of all.

It could be argued that non-citizens are less deserving of someone else’s property. I contend that no one is deserving of anyone else’s property.

A lot of this discussion is driven by a desire for prosperity and prosperity can only come from the fruits of our labor staying with us. Otherwise, incentive to produce is reduced or eliminated.

Socialist governments fail because we can’t fight human nature. The law exists because selfishness invariably impacts other people who deserve to keep what they’ve earned.

To claim that our country is in danger because foreigners can take “our benefits” validates those benefits, and those benefits are more destructive than the invaders themselves. Among the benefits at risk are all the socialistic programs that are dragging this country down.

Social Security has replaced a family structure where grandparents cared for the children of their working children.

The children later cared for the grandparents. It worked fine. Family has more innate incentive to care for each

other than the faceless bureaucracy of government office workers. Gratitude plays a big part as well.

Government drinking ages and drug laws have taught us that we are not responsible for our actions. When bad things happen because of drugs or alcohol we first say, “where did they get it” rather than, “how foolish or disrespectful.” This leads to further calls to replace self respect and respect for others with state mandates. State mandates don’t inspire love and respect, they produce defiance, black markets, crime, and skyrocketing costs.

If our country’s laws merely protected our property rather than trying (unsuccessfully) to manage, improve, insure, incentivize, equalize, and coddle our lives then a much smaller government could make it impossible for terrorists or welfare cheats to survive here. And they would either return home or become contributing members of society.

A military that defends our borders instead of the rest of the world could make the border a filter, not a wall that excludes valuable contributors along with the ones we should keep out. It would also keep that military from creating more disasters around the world that come to haunt us later.

Build the wall for a bandaid if you’ve given up on our republic. Or eliminate theft from our government’s duties in order to solve domestic problems and keep us safe from invaders. A wall might keep out a few criminals. But our welfare state produces them right here at a much higher rate.

The number of people — more than 800 — who came out and were educated about farming at the MBS Family Farms Open House on Sept. 7 in rural Plainfield is a welcome reward for the hard work of the organizers.

It shows that rural Iowans working together can bring a crowd together to learn about agriculture.

Kerri Mehmen, one of the operators of MBS Family Farms, and Ruth Seehusen, office administrator for Butler County Farm Bureau, collaborated with other MBS staff to make a fun and interesting time for everyone.

In addition, the efforts of NashuaPlainfield students helped the event run smoothly, whether it was parking cars or supervising the kids’ fun area.

Mehmen lined up 13 vendors to talk with attendees: Premier Ag Systems, Butler County Farm Bureau, Bayer Crop Science, Conservis, Flint Hills Resources, Family Farms Group, Iowa Corn, Midwest Dairy Association, Iowa Pork Producers Association, Validus, Iowa Food and Family Project, Family Farms Charities and GMO Answers.

Seehusen assembled the booth and coordinated Farm Bureau volunteers to talk to participants about their organization.

Farm Bureau Regional Manager Randy Heitz said he heard nice comments about the Ag in the Classroom minute-to-win-it type farm quiz game, which Seehusen and others coordinated.

Nashua-Plainfield Volleyball team

Wool is made into yarn. Lanolin from sheep wool is used in many hand lotions and soap. In this challenge one player uses a wool ball to knock over the lotion tube pins. When the clock starts the player must roll the ball towards the pins. If the player does not knock them all over they must retrieve the ball and try again. All Sheep Strike lotion tubes must be knocked over in 60 seconds or less. Ag in the Classroom Coordinator Sue Cook who works al of the Ag in the Classroom activities in both Bremer and Floyd Counties is pictured above helping run the Sheep Strike activity at the Today’s Ag, Tomorrow’s Legacy/MBS Family Farms open house on Sept. 7 in rural Plainfield.

by Butler County Farm Bureau) coordinated many of the other children’s activities, including inflatables.

“I heard multiple people say it was fun to have something for kids to do,” Heitz said.

Parking would not have gone as smoothly without the assistance of Nashua-Plainfield FFA. For those who attended, what was the most interesting thing you

The world runs on advertising.

Not just newspapers, though I greatly appreciate our advertisers and the money that allows us to sell these papers at such reasonable subscription rates (renew today!). Pretty much anything that lots of people will look at inevitably ends up the target of advertisers. Billboards, bus stations, I hear there are even commercials on television.

And when Wells Fargo isn’t busy committing fraud and identity theft on their customers, they’re dumping millions of dollars to have sports stadiums named after them.

How much of our world runs on advertising? Consider this. Adblock Plus is selling ads to be shown through their software that, as its name implies, is supposed to block ads.

Recently the company launched an extension of its “Acceptable Ads Platform,” which allows websites to purchase advertisements from a preselected whitelist. Users with the Adblock Plus extension (who opt to have the whitelist turned on) will see those pre-selected ads upon visiting that particular site.

The “Acceptable Ads Platform” has been around for a while, but Adblock Plus’s new service creates a new marketplace that streamlines the whitelist-

ing process.

Everything about this situation is weird, starting with the Adblock Plus business model.

Step 1. Give away free software to millions of internet users that don’t want to deal with ads.

Step 2. Sell ads to those users.

In a way it makes a kind of sense.

Adblock Plus users aren’t their customers, they are the product. By establishing a user base, they’ve effectively secured the exclusive ability to advertise to a massive number of people.

Advertisers have no option but to go through them.

If that seems morally shady, that’s because it is.

Let’s make no bones about it. This is a hair’s width away from straight up extortion. “Oh hey, nice website you’ve got here. Sure would be a shame if we gave tools to millions of people to visit your site without seeing your ads. But hey, if you pay us a little bit, we’ll let people see your ads.”

It’s like a war profiteer selling body armor to one side of a conflict and ar-

mor piercing bullets to the other.

That said, Adblock Plus becoming a self-proclaimed gatekeeper for advertising might still be the best outcome for everybody.

Adblocking software didn’t just happen. It was a reaction to increasingly intrusive advertising practices. Gaudy ads that distracted from the content, elaborate animated that hogged memory and processing resources, fullscreen overlays with miniscule close buttons forcing their way between you and the webpage you’re trying to look at. To say nothing of intrusive and unwelcome video, pop-ups, and ads that tracked your web browsing habits.

Advertising companies proved incapable of restraining themselves in their ever escalating efforts for our attention. For millions of people, myself included, the willingness to support websites with our clicks became outweighed by an unwillingness to deal with the toxic environment that out of control ads created.

This has created an all-or-nothing situation when it comes to advertising.

Each Letter to the Editor must include: • Writer’s full name with signature. (Photo of signature is OK on an email.)

• Writer’s complete address, for verification.

• Writer’s telephone number, for verification.

Information given for verification, outside the body of the letter, will not be printed. If the writer wishes for someone to be contacted, include it in the body of the letter.

Sure, there are plenty of people out there simply unwilling to accept ads under any circumstance. Those people are selfishly entitled and should feel shame if they are capable of it.

Plenty of others don’t have a problem with the idea of advertising, it’s the execution that’s turned them off.

Whitelisting is a feature in most adblocking software, but that requires to manually opt in to every site. It’s something most people don’t have inclination to do.

I feel a twang of guilt when I realize that I’ve forgotten to turn off adblocking on sites that have earned the fraction of a penny that my views are intended to provide, but the bad doesn’t outweigh the good. If advertisers could be trusted to not go overboard, we wouldn’t have this issue. If websites could figure out a way to monetize without ads, we wouldn’t have this issue.

Neither is likely to happen. Adblock Plus setting themselves up as a middle man is not ideal, but it may be a necessary compromise between terrible ads and no ads at all.

Ethel Cruse

Ethel Ann Cruse, of Clarksville, formerly of Plainfield, died on Wednesday, September 14, 2016, at the Clarksville Skilled Nursing and Rehab Center in Clarksville.

Memorial services were held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 17, at the Clarksville Church of Christ with Pastor Val Swinton officiating. Private family burial of cremated remains was in the Willow Lawn Cemetery in Plainfield. Ethel’s family received friends from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, September 16, at the Kaiser-Corson Funeral Home in Waverly. Memorials may be directed to the Plainfield Library or Church of Christ in Clarksville. On-line condolences may be left at www.kaisercorson.com.

Ethel was born June 13, 1942, in Clarksville, Iowa, the daughter of Martin and Iva Bell (Smith) Stille.

She graduated from Clarksville High School. On March 21, 1964, she was united in marriage to Sheldon R. Cruse at the Clarksville Church of Christ. Over the years she worked for Lutheran Mutual Life Insurance Company in Waverly, provided daycare in her home, was secretary at Texco of Shell Rock, and was in quality control at Rada Manufacturing in Waverly for 30 years.

Ethel was a longtime, faithful member of the Church of Christ in Clarksville. She regularly volunteered with the Clarksville Church of Christ Ladies Fellowship, the Women’s Club, and Plainfield American Legion. Near and dear to her heart were the many times she provided story hour at the Plainfield Library as well as being a Teacher’s Aide at Clarksville Head Start. In her free time, she enjoyed shopping and collecting teapots. Above all, the memories she shared with her grandchildren were among her most cherished times.

Ethel is survived by two sons; Steve (Angela) Cruse, of Johnston; and Kevin (Charlotte) Cruse, of Orange City; grandchildren: Haley, Nicole, Karson, Karter, Hope, Zachary, Isabela, and Raya; three sisters: Thelma Wiegmann, of Allison; Marlys (Orville) Nitcher, of Shell Rock; and Lois (Stan) Wiemeyer, of St. Joseph, Missouri; and one brother, Delmar Stille.

She is preceded in death by her parents, husband Sheldon, five brothers; Walter, Lester, Everett, Charles and Earl, two sisters; Velma Doty and Wilhelmina Auer, granddaughter; Carolena Cruse.

The Kaiser-Corson Funeral Home in Waverly was in charge of arrangements.

Yard and Garden—

Lilies in fall

Lilies make an excellent addition to a spring and summer garden landscape.

However, fall is the right time to plant, dig and divide lilies for optimal performance in spring.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists explain what to do now to help lilies reach their full potential. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu.

What is a good planting site for lilies?

Most lilies perform best in welldrained, slightly acidic soils in full sun.

However, Martagon lilies prefer partial shade and neutral to slightly alkaline soils. Good soil drainage is imperative as bulbs may rot in poorly drained, wet soils. Raised beds are a good planting option in poorly drained locations.

When is the best time to plant lilies?

Early fall is an excellent time to plant Asiatic, Oriental and other garden lilies.

Plant lily bulbs at a depth equal to three times their diameter. Container-grown lilies also can be planted in spring and summer. Plant container grown lilies at the same depth as in the pot.

When would be a good time to dig and

divide lilies?

Early fall is an excellent time to dig and divide Asiatic, Oriental and other garden lilies. Carefully dig up the clump and separate the bulbs. Replant the bulbs immediately. If planting must be delayed, place the bulbs in a plastic bag containing lightly moistened sphagnum peat moss and place the bag in the refrigerator. Plant the bulbs as soon as possible.

Can I plant tiger lilies near Asiatic, Oriental or other garden lilies?

Many lily enthusiasts don’t grow tiger lilies (Lilium tigrinum) because they are often infected with lily mosaic virus. Lily mosaic virus causes little harm to tiger lilies. Often, you can’t tell that they have the disease. However, aphids and other sap-feeding insects may carry the virus from tiger lilies to other types. Many hybrid lilies infected with lily mosaic virus produce distorted foliage that is streaked or mottled. Also, infected plants produce fewer flowers and those flowers that do form are often deformed. Lilies exhibiting lily mosaic virus symptoms should be promptly dug up and discarded.

Tulips are a welcome part of the spring landscape, but to enjoy their benefits in warm weather, work must be done during fall. Fall is the optimal time to plant tulips and other springflowering bulbs to maximize their spring potential.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help answer questions about tulips and other spring-flowering bulbs, and how to handle them in fall weather. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu.

What are good planting sites for tulips?

Tulips perform best in partial to full sun. Planting sites should receive at least six hours of direct sun per day.

Tulip bulbs also need a well-drained, fertile soil.

When is the best time to plant tulips?

October is the ideal time to plant tulips, daffodils and other spring-flowering bulbs in Iowa. When planted in October, spring-flowering bulbs have time to develop a good root system before the ground freezes in winter. If the ground isn’t frozen, tulips and other spring-flowering bulbs can be planted as late as late November/early December.

How deep should tulips be planted?

Tulip bulbs should be planted 6 to 8 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart.

Plant 10 or more bulbs of the same cultivar in an area to achieve the greatest

visual impact in the garden.

Which are the best tulips for perennializing?

Most modern tulip cultivars bloom well for only three or four years. However, there are some tulip types (classes) that bloom well over a longer time period.

Darwin hybrid tulips are generally the longest blooming hybrid tulip. Darwin hybrid tulips are prized for their large, brilliant flowers. Flowers are available in shades of red, pink, orange, yellow and white. Blooms are borne on stems that are up to 30 inches tall. Darwin hybrid tulips bloom in mid-spring.

Fosteriana tulips also perennialize well. They are noted for their large, elongated flowers. Flowers appear in early spring on 10- to 20-inch-tall stems. Foliage is typically green or gray-green. However, a few cultivars have mottled or striped foliage. Fosteriana tulips are also known as Emperor tulips.

Species tulips are generally the longest lived tulips. Some naturalize when given favorable growing conditions.

Species tulips include wild tulip species and cultivars developed from these wild species. Species tulips are usually smaller than most modern tulips. They also have smaller flowers. Species tulips are excellent choices for rock gardens and in the front of beds and borders. They also are sometimes referred to as botanical tulips.

Feel-Good Foods for Fall FAMILY FEATURES

C

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.

• Clarksville Star •

Clarksville drops 25-20 district test CLARKSVILLE – A makeshift official crew may have proved costly for the Clarksville football team in a 25-20 loss to Janesville at home on Friday, Sept. 19.

Due to a communication miscue among the officiating crew that was supposed to be at Clarksville’s district game, only three of the fiveman crew arrived on time. Two had to be sent for from Waverly.

The Indians thought it had a key stop on fourth down against the Wildcats, however, a flag was thrown for a late hit out of bounds that kept the Janesville drive going and eventually gave it the 25-12 advantage that was too much for Clarksville to come back from.

Clarksville cut the lead to 25-20 on a 21-yard pass from Dakota Garretson to Riley Cramer with three minutes, 41 seconds left, and got the ball back again with 1:33 remaining, but Garretson threw his only pick of the game on fourth down to end it.

Garretson was 7-of-24 passing for 170 yards and two touchdown passes to Tanner Gilbert, the first a big

within 7-6 with only five seconds left in the opening quarter. However, the two-point try failed.

Coach Chris Arians’ team trailed 13-12 at half after Garretson connected with Gilbert for a 17-yard touchdown pass with 1:40 left until the break. The two-point try again was no good as Janesville maintained the slight edge.

Heading on the road, Clarksville (1-3, 0-1) now must travel to a 0-4 North Iowa this Friday night to see the Indians first district win.

Indians Lose a Close One to Janesville at Home

By Miss Friedrichs

The varsity Indian football team left it all out on the field against conference rival Janesville, but they couldn’t quite pull off the home victory on Friday, September 16.

The Indians lost to the Wildcats 25-20, with Janesville scoring on the last drive of the game.

“We jumped offsides twice on Janesville’s final scoring drive, that could have prevented those points from going on the board,” Head Coach Chris Arians said.

Arians added that the boys missed some key tackles and could’ve played more attentively on defense.

Nevertheless, there were some Indians that stood out on defense.

Senior Riley Cramer had 14 total tackles, five of them solo, and 18 assists.

Junior Spencer Gray followed with eleven and a half tackles, five of them solo, with one for loss, and 13 assists.

“Our defense played well all night,” Gray said. “We only let up two touchdowns.”

Junior Koltyn Beckham also played well, with eight total tackles, four of them solo and one for loss, with eight assists with two for loss.

The offense switched it up for this game and relied more on passing than running.

“Janesville put all eight guys in the box Friday night which makes it about impossible to run, so we decided to air it out more than usual,” Arians said.

“We stuck with passing because our receivers were getting behind the defense, but we struggled adjusting to the ball when it was in the air,” he added.

Dropped passes led to senior Dakota Garretson’s seven completions on 28 attempts.

However, Garretson rebounded by throwing for 170 yards and three touchdowns, one of which was a 64-yarder to fellow senior Tanner Gilbert.

Gilbert accounted for 14 of the Indian’s 20 points on Friday, scoring on two receptions and a two-point conversion.

Riley Cramer, also a senior, snagged the other touchdown for the Indians on a 21-yard pass.

Garretson had the most rushing yards on a night where the Indians struggle with the run game.

With eight stacked in the box, Garretson ran six times for only 30 yards, average five yards per carry.

“Even if a team stacks the box, we have to be able to run the football to open up our passing game,” Arian commented.

On special teams, senior Matt Nelson had two kickoff touchbacks

on the night.

Nelson also averaged 38.6 yards per punt with seven kicks. His longest punt was for 37 yards.

Gilbert also had a nice kickoff return toward the end of the game.

“I felt very good during that return,” he said, “because Mr. T was like ‘we have to get a big return here,’ and I just ran the best I could.”

“I couldn’t have got so far without all my blockers,” Gilbert added.

Overall, Arians was happy to see the team step up in the passing game against the Wildcats.

“I think Dakota did a good job of throwing it around, and our o-line had a good night pass blocking,” he said.

With that being said, Arians hopes his team will build on their successes while trying to fix their errors.

“We are going to be doing a lot of tackling/run blocking drills,” he said. “We will also continue to work on our passing game, as NI has struggled in the past with teams that can pass.”

“I think their are many improvements we could work on,” Gilbert said, “for one, shooting out faster on our offensive line and defensive line.”

The Indians will travel to Buffalo Center to take on the North Iowa Bison this Friday, September 23.

Cross Country Gets Multiple Personal Bests at Osage

By Hannah Freerks

On Tuesday, September 13, the Clarksville cross country team competed in their third meet at Osage.

Seven of the eight Indian runners had their best time this season.

The girls team placed fourth overall, with freshman Kori Wedeking placing second out of 80 runners.

Sophomore Bailey Myers came in

25th, followed by fellow sophomore Allyson Essink in 38th.

Freshmen Janet Borchardt Emma Poppe placed 40th and 42nd, respectively.

“The team did very good because if it had been all 1A schools, we would have placed second,” Myers said.

On the boy’s side, sophomore Chris Behrends placed 51st, followed by freshman Deric Trees in

62nd, and with sophomore teammate Dawson Holub in 72nd out of 74 runners.

Head Coach Ralph Longus was very pleased with his team because everyone ran varsity.

“They will improve to gain experience and confidence as we go on,” he said.

The cross country team will travel to Nashua-Plainfield for their next race on Tuesday, September 20.

Volleyball Struggles Against Dunkerton

By Cecelia Groah

The Indians varsity volleyball team played Dunkerton at home on Tuesday, September 13.

The girls lost 20-25, 11-25, and 13-25.

Junior Kylie Smith said, “During the game, I feel we did not do good as a team and we were never where we were supposed to be.”

Senior Chelsea Capper agreed.

Leading in the team digs was senior Chelsea Capper with a total of 13, following by Smith with ten.

“I think I did so well because my team was supporting me and I had a good attitude,” Capper said.

Smith had and senior Madison Stirling had 100% accuracy with their serves.

Senior Makayla Holub led in kills with 2.

Stirling also had a solo block.

The Lady Indians will be on the road next week, heading to Janesville on Tuesday, September 20, and then to Riceville on Thursday, September 22.

JH Volleyball Beats Dunkerton

By Emily Leerhoff

Clarksville vs. Dunkerton On Monday, September 12, the Clarksville junior high volleyball team traveled to Dunkerton to play the Raiders.

The seventh graders lost the first set 16-21, won the second set 21-17, and then came back and won the third set 21-14. The eighth graders won their game as well, winning 21-17 and 17-11, and 9-21.

“We did really well; split the first two; won one, lost one, came back and won the third,” Head Coach Ashten Henningsen commented.

The players agreed that the game went well. “[The game was] good because both teams won two out of three games,” Carlee Doty, a seventh grader, said.

Katelyn Stirling, an eighth grader, also agreed saying, “I thought it went better because we worked on things in practice from the last game that we did.”

However, there is still work to be done.

Serena Johnson pointed out that they could work on calling it out more when going after the ball.

Doty thought they should work on spiking the ball more.

Henningsen agreed.

“We made some silly errors with serving. The errors that we made have to do with communication; knowing who’s doing what,” Henningsen said.

But, in the end it was a good game.

“I thought our serving got better and we volleyed it a lot better too,” Stirling said.

Henningsen agreed saying, “In our last game that we played there was a really good volley series where it took awhile; they were going back and forth for awhile.”

Something that stood out in the game to Johnson was the sportsmanship that everyone had.

Clarksville vs. Nashua-Plainfield On Thursday, September 14, the Clarksville junior high volleyball team traveled to Nashua-Plainfield to take on the Huskies.

The seventh grade team started out slowly, but ended it with a tie, losing 21-14 and 23-21, then winning 19-17 and 15-13.

The eighth grade team did even better, only losing one set 14-21 and winning two, 21-4 and 15-11.

“At the beginning of the game they struggled with communication, but by the end of the game they were doing really well,” Head Coach Ashten Henningsen commented.

The ladies agreed on the slow start.

Brianna Dietz commented on what they could improve on saying, “Setting and calling it out; We don’t talk a lot and end up running into each other sometimes.”

Once the game started moving it had a great ending.

“We did really well towards the end of the game; it seemed like they were getting into a good rhythm. They did awesome at serving towards the end,” Henningsen said.

The players agreed.

“I think it went pretty good; better than our past ones,” Grace Litterer said. “We talked a lot more and worked better as a team.”

Morgan Jacobs agreed as well.

“I think it went good because we did our hardest to do our best,” she said. “There was still a few mistakes but we did the best that we could.”

Overall, everyone was happy with the team’s performances. “[The game was] pretty good. We won and a lot of the people got a fair amount of playing time within the team,” Brianna Dietz pointed out.

The junior high volleyball team will host North Tama at home on Monday, September 19, and then travel to West Central on Tuesday, September 20.

HISTORY OF THE CAR RADIO Seems like cars have always had radios, but they didn’t. Here’s the story: One evening, in 1929, two young men named William Lear and Elmer Wavering drove their girlfriends to a lookout point high above the Mississippi River town of Quincy, Illinois, to watch the sunset.

It was a romantic night to be sure, but one of the women observed that it would be even nicer if they could listen to music in the car. Lear and Wavering liked the idea. Both men had tinkered with radios (Lear served as a radio operator in the U.S. Navy during World War I) and it wasn’t long before they were taking apart a home radio and trying to get it to work in a car.

But it wasn’t easy: automobiles have ignition switches, generators, spark plugs, and other electrical equipment that generate noisy static interference, making it nearly impossible to listen to the radio when the engine was running.

One by one, Lear and Wavering identified and eliminated each source of electrical interference. When they finally got their radio to work, they took it to a radio convention in Chicago. There they met Paul Galvin, owner of Galvin Manufacturing Corporation.

He made a product called a “battery eliminator,” a device that allowed battery-powered radios to run on household AC current. But as more homes were wired for electricity, more radio manufacturers made AC-powered radios.

Galvin needed a new product to manufacture. When he met Lear and Wavering at the radio convention, he found it. He believed that mass-produced, affordable car radios had the potential to become a huge business.

Lear and Wavering set up shop in Galvin’s factory, and when they perfected their first radio, they installed it in his Studebaker. Then Galvin went to a local banker to apply for a loan. Thinking it might sweeten the deal, he had his men install a radio in the banker’s Packard.

Good idea, but it didn’t work – Half an hour after the installation, the banker’s Packard caught on fire. (They didn’t get the loan.)

Galvin didn’t give up. He drove his

Studebaker nearly 800 miles to Atlantic City to show off the radio at the 1930 Radio Manufacturers Association convention. Too broke to afford a booth, he parked the car outside the convention hall and cranked up the radio so that passing conventioneers could hear it. That idea worked — He got enough orders to put the radio into production.

That first production model was called the 5T71. Galvin decided he needed to come up with something a little catchier.

In those days many companies in the phonograph and radio businesses used the suffix “ola” for their names — Radiola, Columbiola, and Victrola were three of the biggest. Galvin decided to do the same thing, and since his radio was intended for use in a motor vehicle, he decided to call it the Motorola. But even with the name change, the radio still had problems: When Motorola went on sale in 1930, it cost about $110 uninstalled, at a time when you could buy a brand-new car for $650, and the country was sliding into the Great Depression. (By that measure, a radio for a new car would cost about $3,000 today.)

In 1930, it took two men several days to put in a car radio -- The dashboard had to be taken apart so that the receiver and a single speaker could be installed, and the ceiling had to be cut open to install the antenna. These early radios ran on their own batteries, not on the car battery, so holes had to be cut into the floorboard to accommodate them. The installation manual had eight complete diagrams and 28 pages of instructions.

Selling complicated car radios that cost 20 percent of the price of a brand-new car wouldn’t have been easy in the best of times, let alone during the Great Depression.

Galvin lost money in 1930 and struggled for a couple of years after that. But things picked up in 1933 when Ford began offering Motorolas pre-installed at the factory. In 1934 they got another boost when Galvin struck a deal with B.F. Goodrich tire company to sell and install them in its chain of tire stores. By then the price of the radio, with installation included, had dropped to $55. The Motorola car radio was off and running.

(The name of the company would be officially changed from Galvin Manufacturing to “Motorola” in 1947.)

In the meantime, Galvin continued to develop new uses for car radios. In 1936,

the same year that it introduced pushbutton tuning, it also introduced the Motorola Police Cruiser, a standard car radio that was factory preset to a single frequency to pick up police broadcasts.

In 1940 he developed the first handheld two-way radio — The WalkieTalkie – for the U. S. Army.

A lot of the communications technologies that we take for granted today were born in Motorola labs in the years that followed World War II. In 1947 they came out with the first television for under $200. In 1956 the company introduced the world’s first pager; in 1969 came the radio and television equipment that was used to televise Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the Moon. In 1973 it invented the world’s first hand-held cellular phone.

Today Motorola is one of the largest cell phone manufacturers in the world. And it all started with the car radio.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO the two men who installed the first radio in Paul Galvin’s car? Elmer Wavering and William Lear, ended up taking very different paths in life. Wavering stayed with Motorola. In the 1950s he helped change the automobile experience again when he developed the first automotive alternator, replacing inefficient and unreliable generators. The invention lead to such luxuries as power windows, power seats, and, eventually, air-conditioning.

Lear also continued inventing. He holds more than 150 patents. Remember eight-track tape players? Lear invented that. But what he’s really famous for are his contributions to the field of aviation.

He invented radio direction finders for planes, aided in the invention of the autopilot, designed the first fully automatic aircraft landing system, and in 1963 introduced his most famous invention of all, the Lear Jet, the world’s first massproduced, affordable business jet. (Not bad for a guy who dropped out of school after the eighth grade.)

The first working TV I ever saw was in the spring of 1951, a Motorola, in the apartment of Aunt Mae McCreary. This set was the first TV sold by George’s TV and may well have been the first sold in Clarksville. It was not a HD flat screen TV and seeing a whole program was iffy.

Even after I went to work at George’s TV in 1954 the installation of a car radio in vehicles that didn’t come with one was often a long process and motor noise was always a problem.

Just a little bit of “The Way it Was.”

Some antibiotics in animal feed will require veterinary feed directive beginning Jan. 1

By Grant Dewell, Chris Rademacher and Yuko Sato, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach AMES, Iowa – In an effort to protect human and animal health from the rise of antibiotic resistance, the Food and Drug Administration has issued new guidelines that will regulate medically important antibiotic use in animal feed.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2017, veterinary oversight will be required when using medically important antibiotics for treatment, prevention and control through Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD). Antibiotics classified as nonmedically important are not affected by the VFD. “The VFD ensures that the veterinarian and producer are using antibiotics that are medically important for therapeutic purposes, and that they are necessary and warranted,” said Chris Rademacher, ISU Extension and Out-

reach swine veterinarian.

“Producers who want to continue to use a VFD drug must have a VFD from a licensed veterinarian that they have a valid veterinary-client-patient relationship with. This will promote more veterinary-producer interactions that will guide the decisions to use

medically important antibiotics for mass medication (feed or water).”

Producers are required to keep their VFDs on file for two years. In addition, veterinarians and feed manufacturers who do not abide by the VFD regulations could face fines or the revocation of their licenses.

Farm Saftey & Health Week

Keeping Kids Safe on the Farm

BUTLER COUNTY BULLETIN Nancy Jensen Butler County Program Coordinator

nejensen@iastate.edu

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: 1. Use tractor with ROPS, safety belts and proper lights.

2. Flashing or LED lights can easily be seen and must be in good working order.

3. Stay as close to right side of the road as possible.

All drivers can use the following tips: 1. Keep eyes on the road, hands on the wheel and mind on driving. Put cell phones away!

2. Look up and look ahead to check for hazards.

3. Drop back and use the 3 or 4 second rule to maintain safe distance. This also will increase visibility.

4. Anticipate turning destinations of equipment operators. Farm fields, field entrances, etc. can be clues.

5. Use your safety belts and turning signals.

6. Share safety precautions with younger drivers.

By Nancy Jensen We have been holding a Farm Safety Day in May for 4th graders for many years. One reason has always been to keep kids safe when visiting a farm. But what about those kids who grow up on a farm? Do they just naturally know how to be safe?

Having grown up and lived on a farm for all but the 4 years I was at Iowa State, I can tell you it’s not a natural thing.

Once we were old enough to actually do chores, Dad would tell us what to do and then very emphatically tell us what not to do! Pitch

hay from hay mow to bunk feeder, gather eggs, feed calves, unload haylage and drive loads up were all things we were expected to do and be safe doing it. The technology and power of machines back then were not as sophisticated as they are now.

Before getting old enough to actually help, I’m sure we had areas where we could safely play. There was a very substantial fence between our yard and the cows feeding lot. All our machinery was in the rear of our farmstead where we weren’t to go!

On many farms today, we see less livestock and more grain handling

systems. Along with grain handling comes tractors, wagons, PTO’s and grain bins, all potential hazards for kids.

When setting up a safe play area for your kids/grandkids, please consider: 1. Designating safe area by physical barriers 2. Away from vehicle traffic 3. Away from hazards 4. Away from loud noises 5. Free of open water 6. Shade from sun 7. Shelter from wind 8. Within sight and sound of re-

sponsible adult 9. Close to first aid, handwashing, toilet 10. Enough space to play safety 11. Easily maintained Safe play areas that encourage children to play in those areas could include: 1. Enough room to play ball 2. Have balance beams, hopping steps, paths 3. Clubhouse or fort 4. Swing set/tire swing 5. Slides

Young Worker Safety

By Nancy Jensen Many farmers hire teenagers during the summer to do work like baling, clean barns and mowing lawns. 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.

1. Their limited experience in the workforce 2. 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, “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.”

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. That’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! It’s important to let them know what’s expected and what won’t be tolerated. If properly trained that teen will be welcomed back for many summers.

Skid-steer Safety

Pictured are a chemical box and container of several chemicals we’ve used on our farm in the past. Chemical containers always have labels on them telling what’s in the container and how to use properly.

Chemical Safety

By Nancy Jensen Every year Butler County Extension and Outreach hosts Private Pesticide Applicator Trainings to help farmers become more aware of the danger of the chemicals they are working with.

Farm chemicals include pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and fertilizer and they can enter a person’s body by absorption through the skin, or through breathing. Up to 97% of chemical spraying exposure happens through contact with the skin.

Part of our PPAT stresses to farmers the necessity of checking labels and wearing the correct Personal Protective Equipment.

Each container label has specific requirements for PPE based on ingredients in the chemical. Because sprayers sometimes have a tendency to break down on the job, be sure to stop, shut off sprayer, drive ahead to dry plants, get out and fix the problem then back up, turn sprayer on and continue. This will decrease the amount of chemical you breathe in.

Be sure chemicals are locked up away from where kids can get to them. Store chemicals in their original containers.

Certain pesticide labels may state the specific use of eyewear or respirators to use during pesticide application. Be sure eye protection doesn’t interfere with your vision and thoroughly clean after every use. Many articles stressed the fact that contacts should NEVER be worn at this time.

Farmers should make sure they have gloves handy for any pesticide work they are doing.

1. Choose the right glove: waterproof, chemical resistant 2. Glove thickness: the thicker the glove, the more protection offered 3. Glove fit and length 5-7 extra small 7-8 small 8-9 medium 9-10 large 10-12 extra large 12 inches in length Wash gloves off before removing. To dispose of gloves, cut the fingers off the glove so no one will attempt to use them again.

Wear clean clothes daily and launder clothes used for pesticide work daily.

By Nancy Jensen Between the years 1980 to 1997 and depending on the source used, there were between 20 and 54 skidsteer 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 skid-steer loaders are: 1. Control interlocks to prevent unintentional control activation.

2. Rollover Protective Structures and Operator Restraints to keep operator inside the machine during a rollover.

3. Side Screens to prevent the operator from leaning or reaching out and coming into contact with a moving lift arm.

Basic safety rules to use in operating a skid-steer loader include: 4. Read the operator’s manual 5. Operate loader only when properly positioned 6. Stay seated 7. Make sure seat belt is snug and restraint bar is properly positioned 8. Keep hands, arms, legs and head inside operator’s compartment 9. Load, unload and turn on level ground 10. Travel and turn with bucket in lowest position possible 11. Operate on stable surfaces only 12. Don’t travel across slopes 13. Never carry riders 14. Keep bystanders away 15. Exit and enter from the loader safely Don’t become a statistic – follow all safety guidelines.

A haybine is attached to one of our tractors and powered by a PTO. Notice the drive shaft is covered to lessen chances of entanglement.

Machinery Safety

By Nancy Jensen Being safe around farm machinery is important all year around but during Farm Safety & Health Week it’s a good time to review some of the steps involved.

The improper use of farm machinery is the source of most injuries or fatalities on American farms and ranches according to a study

by Kansas State University.

The study stated eight steps to be a safe machinery operator.

1. Be aware of hazards around you.

2. Be prepared by replacing worn parts promptly and doing daily pre-operational checks.

3. Read the Operator’s Manual that comes with an equipment purchase. If missing, contact your dealer to get one.

4. Shield all moving parts. Equipment manufacturers design machinery with safety in mind.

5. Respect PTO and hydraulics. Any piece of machinery powered by these two methods is inherently dangerous.

6. Shut it off before doing any kind of repair or maintenance to the machinery.

7. Watch yourself and avoid hazardous jobs when feeling ill or distracted. Fatigue and stress cause many accidents.

8. Use machinery only for its intended purpose.

New farm machinery comes equipped from the factory with many safety features.

The variety of warning, caution and instructional decals placed on machinery are placed there for YOUR safety. Injuries and deaths happen when guards are removed, broken or torn off during operation and warnings are not followed. You cannot win a strength or speed contest with a machine!

Special guidelines for working around PTO’s include: 1. Fully shield PTO drivelines 2. Never attempt to step over a rotating PTO 3. Never try to operate tractor controls from rear of tractor 4. Never wear loose baggy clothing around a PTO 5. Keep long hair pulled back 6. Keep your distance from a rotating PTO
