Hampton Chronicle Packets need to be picked up before the run.

Early voting is under way, having started on Thursday, Sept. 29 at the Butler County Courthouse.

“We’ve had several people come in and vote today,” Elections Clerk Lisa Beadle said last Thursday. “We’re ready for them. Might as well come in — if they’ve made their decision — and get it done.”

As of noon Monday, Oct. 3, 452 Absentee Ballot Request forms have been processed to date, not including what came in Monday’s mail.

One Absentee Ballot has been sent to each person who requested one using the Absentee Ballot Request form.

Political parities have been out door knocking in an effort to mobilize voters who support their candidates. This

has meant some voters have received multiple Absentee Ballot Request forms. A voter need only send in one Absentee Ballot Request form. But even if a voter sends in multiple Absentee Ballot Request forms — as officials say some voters have — a voter will only receive one ballot. You can tell an Absentee Ballot from an Absentee Ballot Request form because the Absentee Ballot lists the candidates.

“We can only send them one active ballot,” Auditor Liz Williams said.

Compliance with that rule is ensured by the computer system, which does not allow Auditor’s Office staff send out more than one absentee ballot — as each ballot sent has to be recorded and accounted for in the system.

Those wishing to wait to vote until Election Day, Nov. 8, may, of course, do so.

AMVETS Fish Fry reset to Oct. 8

Clarksville households affected by the Sept. 23 flood are eligible on a firstcome, first-served basis for a $50 gift certificate to K&S Grocery or Orly’s Meat Market Locker.

“We chose Clarksville because there were (146) homes affected and there’s a Lions Club in Clarksville,” said District Governor Lisa Prochaska, who obtained the $5,000 emergency grant from Lions International.

Lions International has the goal of helping as many flood victims as possible with the grant, Clarksville Lions Secretary Bill Tjaden said.

The grant is for food and or cleaning supplies only; the gift certificates are not valid for alcohol, pop or cigarettes, Prochaska said.

Any household that reported being affected by the flood may inquire about certificates by calling Bill Tjaden at Progressive-Insurance Associates, 319278-4203.

PARK BOARD RESTOCKS PONDS AT WILDER: Dr. George North, Allison Park Board, is shown opening a container of fish to re-stock the two ponds at Wilder Park on Friday, Sept. 23. The lot of 620 fish is comprised of 200 catfish, 6-8 inches; 200 large-mouth bass, 5-6 inches; 200 crappies, 4-6 inches; and 20 grass-carp for weed control. The fish were evenly divided between the two ponds. The plastic bags were pumped full of oxygen and sealed at the hatchery near the Amanas, so the fish could travel several hours and have adequate oxygen. One objective of the re-stocking program is to improve fishing for the younger people that come to beautiful Wilder Park to fish. (Contributed by Allison Park Board/Duane Feltz)

D.A.R. dedicates grave marker 2016 Football Contest

By John Jensen Eclipse News-Review NEW HARTFORD — More than eight years after being damaged in the tornado that devastated southern Butler County, one of the oldest graves in New Hartford’s Oak Hill Cemetery has the honor it deserves.

Ellie Senne, a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.) Candle-Stick Chapter based out of Hampton made that so, with her project culminated Friday with the dedication of a repaired headstone marker

for the daughter of a Revolutionary War soldier, Susanna Ensign.

“As a Daughter of the American Revolution member of this society, we try to honor all our patriots and their families,” Senne said. “Hearing about this from her great-great-great niece Karen Wilson, I felt I should go to the end of the road to honor this woman who was here and whose family was so much of this community.”

Wilson, a member of the D.A.R. Chapter in Cedar Rapids, asked online after the tornado if somebody could check on her

Aunt Susan’s headstone. Senne, from Allison, made the short trip to New Hartford to find nothing but devastation.

“As I walked into the cemetery I had no idea where to start,” she said to the gathered dignitaries and interested parties. “As Karen only gave a name, I just stood there with tears to see all the broken stones, trees uprooted … but I had said I would check.

“I felt defeated and as turning to leave I noticed this plaque in the mud.

Looking closer it said Susann Ensign,” D.A.R. to page 13

continues this week The annual Clarksville Star/Butler County Tribune-Journal/Parkersburg Eclipse News-Review football contest continues with a slate of high school, college and NFL games. The contest will run for 11 consecutive weeks during the football season.

UNDERSTANDING AG AT LITTLE LAMBS: The definition of Ag in the Classroom is helping the next generation understand their connection to agriculture and that is just what Butler County Farm Bureau member Ken Seehusen did when he visited the young ones at the “Little Lambs Daycare” in Allison on Sept. 29. Ken brought in his John Deere 8430 to let everyone ride in it and see how big the tractors really are. Little Lambs Child Care Director Carrie Poppen commented that even the daycares in the state of Iowa are being encouraged to implement Ag in the Classroom. (Contributed

By Robyn Mulder Contributor They say time flies when you’re having fun. That must be especially true at Allison Little Lambs Child Care because their first year has flown by with tons of fun for the children who attend there.

They’ve enjoyed Bible stories, crafts, songs, delicious food, field trips, special guests, and more during this past year.

The daycare is celebrating its oneyear anniversary with a Pasta Supper Fundraiser on Wednesday, Oct. 19 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Trinity Reformed Church, 614 Cherry St., in Allison.

Come enjoy a variety of pastas, salad, bread, and soft serve ice cream, all for just a free-will donation.

Looking for Christmas gifts? You can purchase knives, utensils, food mixes, and other products through their Rada Fundraiser. They will also be having a raffle drawing that night for $250 in Butler Bucks.

Tickets are 2 for $5 or 5 for $10 and can be purchased from Allison Little Lambs staff and board members, from various businesses in Allison, or at the supper that night.

Allison Little Lambs would like to thank the community for their support over their first year in operation. Many have donated their time, money, and talents to make sure the daycare runs well and nurtures the children who attend. If you haven’t seen their beautiful facility and all of the great things happening there, call Director Carrie Poppen, 319-267-2242, to arrange a visit.

• OPEN FOR FAMILY TRICK-ORTREAT: Keep Allison Little Lambs in mind when you take your children out trick-or-treating from 5 to 7 p.m. on Halloween. The daycare, at 721 Cherry St. in Allison, will again be having a Halloween Maze and some games and activities for kids that night. Stop by, have some fun, and get a treat.

Farm Safety Week Lessons

By Ruth Seehusen Butler County Farm Bureau Each year since 1944, the third week of September has been recognized as National Farm Safety and Health Week.

Butler County Farm Bureau AITC Coordinator Ruth Seehusen visited the Allison kindergarten classes talked to the students about farm safety. She read the book “A-B-C Always Be Careful” and even if they don’t live on a farm they may visit a farm sometime and need to be aware of the dangers on the farm.

Each year about 300 children between the ages of 0 and 19 die due to farm hazards in the United States. At least 5,000 others suffer injuries.

There are many hazardous substances on farms. Children often see these substances and mistake them for a safe substance. For instance, Ruth told the classes that motor oil may look like pancake syrup, herbicides may look like apple juice, and antifreeze may look like a sports drink. She showed the class examples of liquids in glass small containers that were green Gatorade,

apple juice, and pancake syrup. They should never touch or taste any substance they cannot identify.

Ruth also talked to the class about the corn being harvested and emptied into wagons, truck, and storage bins. She told them never to play around grain equipment and never go in a grain bin or wagon while grain is unloading. The moving grain can pull a person into the grain and cause them to suffocate.

She brought with her a toy model grain wagon to show how quickly a toy figure would sink into the grain as the wagon is unloaded. It took only 6 seconds for the toy figure to be completely under the grain. Everyone was amazed.

Since sun safety is also a concern for farmers, Ruth gave everyone their own sun safety bracelet, which is made of ultraviolet light detecting beads. The beads are white while inside but turn colors when exposed to the ultraviolet light of the sun. The bracelets also had three beads with the letters A-B-C on them to remind the students to “Always Be Careful.”

Iowa: We need A comparison of the Democratic to set priorities and Republican national platforms

Using funding from the lottery tax revenues to serve citizens and businesses Guest Column Chris Blau, Waverly I am saddened by the damage caused by the recent flooding in the Butler/Bremer area, and specifically as it has affected Clarksville.

I recently moved from Butler to Bremer County and have experienced flooding myself.

Please find enclosed information regarding benefits gained from river dredging. […]

• Shallow riverbeds have created a perfect environment for flooding, and have taken away the recreational opportunities for boaters.

• River systems have been seriously neglected over the past 30 years, now costing citizens and businesses large financial hardships.

• Example: the Cedar River/Cedar Falls area, used to be routinely dredged, the companies utilized the sand products to build their businesses. I know that river “products” are not just sand related, but we have environmental resources!

There was no flooding.

• Most rivers in Iowa are shallow, and most will not allow boats to be utilized. They soon will no longer be considered resources, or will become nonexistent.

• This plea for action is not related to just recreational activity, but to

one that is impacting people’s lives, well-being, and businesses due to flood risk issues.

• Flooding is affecting more and is becoming more widespread/frequent; a trend that is likely to continue, and needs to be addressed as a statewide concern!

• Dredging deals with shallow riverbeds along greater areas of river passage. Levees and reservoirs only help in limited target areas, usually urban.

• There is a serious impact on businesses, who come to Iowa seeking our excellent employee pool and housing conditions. They have had to reconsider staying in Iowa to do business, because of the huge financial burden of rebuilding, and reopening, caused by flooding; to regain a stable, profitable environment.

• Example: the Missouri River is not dredged, and is now almost totally unproductive. The Mississippi River is routinely dredged, and allows barges to travel, as well as supporting recreational boating opportunities.

• We have funding in Iowa from the lottery tax revenues. Bike trails can no longer be the main priority for using these millions!

• River maintenance/dredging should be a higher priority for Iowans. We have the funding to implement action that will have a huge impact on dealing with this problem, and the well-being of Iowans.

Guest Column Robert V. Schnucker, Parkersburg Most voters will never read either political platform. The platforms are long, boringly written but I’ve read them and analyzed them. The Democratic platform is 25 pages long and contains about 23,000 words while the Republican platform contains about 33,000 words in 39 pages.

This is a brief summary and comparison of the two platforms. There are some basic assumptions that underlie the two platforms. The Republicans usually describe the current scene as negative and wrong due to President Obama and the illconceived plans of the Democrats.

The Democratic platform sees the current scene as basically good but in need of improvement. Each party blames the other for the dysfunction of Congress, which the Republicans control. There are ten major areas where both agree but with variants.

1. Both parties affirm belief in the U.S. Constitution. As a rule the Republicans insist the Constitution must be interpreted as the founding fathers understood it. The Democrats point out that the 21st century is much different that the 18th century so the Constitution must be interpreted in light of our changing world.

2. Both express concern for the economic state of the nation and its place in the global economy. Both believe in some form of free trade.

The Democrats are in favor of government oversight while the Republicans are against governmental intervention or control.

3. Both strongly support the military. The Republicans under Donald Trump prefer to see the military as the strong policeman of the world even if it means a go-it-alone ap-

proach. The Democrats stress an efficient modernized military that functions in co-operation with our allies. As an aside, the Democratic platform has an important section on support for veterans and their families plus a powerfully worded statement on the necessary reform of the V.A. 4. Both are in favor of health care.

The Republicans detest the Affordable Care Act even though they helped to bring it into existence.

Their stance is that private enterprise would do a better job. The Democrats admit there are problems with the ACA but it should not be abandoned but improved.

5. Both agree that something must be done about the immigration issue. Both want to prevent terrorist and ISIS folk from entering our country. Republicans are puzzled as to what should be done with the 11,000,000 undocumented people now residing with us. The Democrats propose a program that encourages the undocumented to become citizens reminding us that almost all of us are descendants of immigrants. The Republicans under Donald Trump would erect a wall along the Mexican border while the Democrats point out that the current existing wall can be breached.

6. Both agree on the size of the federal government - it is too large, intrusive, and not particularly efficient. Their solutions to this vary.

The Republicans want to drastically reduce the government and in the past tried to choke the government to death by cutting budgets. The Democrats on the other hand while unhappy with the size of government would stress greater efficiency with elimination of those parts no longer relevant.

7. We do need government to play a role in our lives but to what extent? The Republicans argue that a large amount of what the federal

government does should be put in the hands of state and local governments, which of course would create a myraid set of rules and regulations. The Democrats stress that as a nation, there should be uniform standards that apply equally to all citizens, which would not be the case with the Republican solution.

8. On education, the Republican platform would have primary and secondary education under state and local control. While they decry the ballooning cost of higher education, they are opposed to having the federal government supporting student loans. The Democrats devote two pages to the importance of education as one of the keys to keeping American great and essential to the general health and welfare of the nation.

9. Who controls the courts? The Republican platform wants judges who are conservative in their views while the Democrats want judges who support the Constitution with equal justice for all.

10. Both support women’s rights but in a totally different manner.

The Republican platform has a limited view of women’s right basically tied to their view of “traditional marriage” which is defined as one male married to one female to produce children which in turn means the platform is opposed to abortion — period — no exceptions allowed. The ‘’traditional marriage” also means marriage is not possible for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender communities. Very little is stated about women receiving equal pay for equal work. The Democratic platform strongly supports women’s right to control their own bodies which means abortion is a decision the woman makes. The Democratic platform makes it clear it endorses equal pay for equal work. The platform expands “traditional marriage” to include the gay, lesbian, bisexual

and transgender communities.

There are many other issues mentioned in both platforms. The Republican platform is in favor of the Right to Work” laws which weaken unions, is against the Dodd-Frank law which regulates Wall Street. Issues involving pure water, [hydraulic] fracturing, voting rights, gun control should be under the control of state and local governments. The platform also endorses the use of the Bible in schools as being indispensible for citizenship.

The Democratic platform is against the use of nuclear, chemical and biological weaponry. It favors a crackdown on the exorbitant profits of Wall Street and the pharmaceutical industry. The platform advocates stronger efforts to control drug and alcohol addiction, is for better mental health availability, care for the elderly and sensible gun control.

The platform also supports the fine arts, SNAP, a stronger rural economic environment, and support for local police. And finally, it suggests that anyone who earns more than $1,000,000 a year should pay higher taxes.

I would encourage you to read the platforms and to make up your own mind as you prepare to vote this November.

My personal evaluation of the two platforms is (1) the Republicans face the future with an ideology that prevailed in the past while the Democrats appreciate those ideologies but realize they don’t always apply to a society that is rapidly changing and changing in ways not anticipated before; (2) I really like the 10th line of the Preamble of the Democratic platform. “We believe that co-operation is better than conflict, unity better than division, empowerment better than resentment and bridges are better than walls.”

October: Watch out for slow vehicles and vote early

October is here and the chilly weather didn’t wait a second to come as well. As fall gets underway, that means harvest season is nearly here. Soon enough, farmers will be spending countless hours out in the fields doing what they do best: feeding the world. Be sure to watch for slow moving vehicles and have patience on the roads as harvest season kicks into full gear.

Over the last two weeks, many areas across the state have been affected by severe flooding, including those in Butler County. The recent flooding brings back memories of the historic floods of 2008 that devastated communities all over the state. Fortunately, cities and towns were much more prepared this year with 2008 in the back of their minds.

Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt during the recent flooding.

I’ve visited the communities of

Clarksville and Greene in Butler County to see some of the damage myself. I’ve been working with local officials to be helpful where I can and point them in the right direction for resources when needed.

During my tour, it was wonderful to see so many people from the community banding together during this crisis. People helped their neighbors move things out of houses and we even had students come down from Clear Lake to help with the cleanup efforts. I’m so proud of our community. Everyone came together and I want to thank all of them for their hard work during this difficult time.

The State of Iowa offers assistance to lower income households that have been affected by the flooding. Disaster assistance grants help people with home or care repairs, replacement of property, and expenses for temporary housing. More infor-

mation and an application for assistance can be found on the Department of Human Services’ website.

As recovery and cleanup efforts begin, please be aware of potential scams. During times of natural disasters, fraudsters attempt to take advantage of affected individuals claiming to offer financial assistance that doesn’t exist or pose as official representatives who are there to help. Don’t provide these people with personal information and report any suspicious activity that you may encounter.

If I can be helpful to you in any way during this time of recovery,

please let me know.

OPINION / EDITORIAL

BUTLER COUNTY BULLETIN Nancy Jensen Butler County Program Coordinator

nejensen@iastate.edu

Have you seen it?

Do you have it?

Earlier this fall Butler County was ranked very high in the state for the amount of acres in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).

I have heard that many more acres were enrolled in the program since then. I am all for conservation but some things I’ve been hearing have made me concerned.

CRP is a fantastic program, for areas where growing conditions are less than ideal like river bottoms or sand. Setting those acres aside for conservation (particularly pollinator habitat!) is a great solution. Some land is just better suited to butterflies and bees than corn and beans!

I’ve been to a few meetings lately where a certain variety of pigweed has been a topic and it concerns me.

To date, 30 counties in Iowa have been identified as having Palmer amaranth. Six of those counties had it introduced through conventional farm operations. The other 24 had it brought in through the establishment of native seed mixes used for conservation purposes including cover crops and CRP. Our number one priority should be and needs to be the reduction or prevention of Palmer amaranth seed production. While very likely there’s already some viable seed around here, the amount of seed production can be drastically reduced with early detection.

The preferred method is physical removal of individual Palmer amaranth plants and hand removal and destruction of plants early is a viable tactic to use. Another option is mowing, but this method is not highly effective on larger Palmer amaranth plants, especially ones that weren’t mowed earlier in the year. In fact mowing can actually

worsen the situation by “pushing over” Palmer amaranth into surrounding fields where it disperses its seed. The problem with this weed is that it doesn’t know where CRP ground ends and crop ground begins and there is no known herbicide to kill it!

According to a report from University of Tennessee Extension, the pigweed family, including Palmer amaranth, cost Tennessee farmers $120 million in 2011. A single female plant typically produces 100,000 to 500,000 seeds. Very.

Small. Seeds.

With all the CRP acres that will be seeded down in the near future, landowners will need to be very diligent in monitoring their ground and pulling out any Palmer amaranth seen. CRP ground will also need to be mowed several times a year; this doesn’t kill this weed, however!

One way to tell if the weed you are looking at is Palmer amaranth is to break off a leaf and bend the petiole over the leaf. The petiole from Palmer amaranth is as long as or longer than mature leaves. These leaves are oval to diamond shaped and the seed head of this weed can be up to 3 feet long!

If you are a landowner establishing CRP acres this year it will be up to you to monitor for this weed.

I can assure you that you will have some mighty upset neighbors if Palmer amaranth is discovered in their crop ground and it originated from your CRP ground.

The way Palmer amaranth has been described to me is “water hemp on steroids”! Let’s all watch closely and be proactive in the elimination of this weed in Butler County!

I was 10 years old and under the covers with my transistor radio; my folks thought I was asleep. When they looked, they saw a lump under those covers but I was really at the game. Vin Scully had taken me there. Vinny’s retirement makes us remember all he has done for us.

Transistor radios filled in the blanks at the game and away.

When TV went digital a few years ago we decided we’d had enough.

We’d planned our lives around getting in for the news and sat like zombies through hours of trash in order to see a couple minutes of TV worth watching. TV was worse than shaving or smoking; eliminate a lifetime of it and we could be happy and productive for another ten or twenty years.

Instead of being mesmerized a la George Orwell, we worked, looked at birds, read, talked to each other; stuff like that. Now the TVs are smaller, and everywhere. Out in public we see people dining together looking at their “devices.” Is Big Brother in there commanding them

My friend

The Alternative Fritz Groszkruger 4selfgovernment@gmail.com www.alternativebyfritz.com to believe... “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” ?

Now we are thinking of getting a TV antenna, for baseball. Upon moving to Iowa I adopted the Cubs as my team because I root for the underdog, Chicago has blues, and it’s close. Now the Cubs are on a tear and the Dodgers aren’t bad. I continue to think baseball represents life better than any sport. Pick a reason, but I think it is because there is no clock, there are limitless opportunities for those with ambition, and no one to blame but yourself.

I’ve read several articles about Vinny lately that mentioned the transistor radio, after years of believing I was the only one. Could it be that all those sleepy students were pretending to be asleep so they could listen to the Dodger game? Sorta illustrates the value of revisionist history,

doesn’t it?

Scully is the only living man I’ve known longer than my barber. He started with the Dodgers the year I was born, 1950. He moved with them from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1957. He will call his last game Sunday afternoon with perennial rival, the Giants, who moved from New York to San Francisco that same year. Can you imagine having the same job for 67 years?

Do you think Vin Scully always had everything fall into place for a perfect job? No. But he made it right for himself and we all profited from his effort to please himself through his job to bring this game to our ears.

He stuck with it for 67 years. Thank you, Mr. Scully.

The recent death of superstar prospect, Jose Fernandez, makes it all the more moving that Vinny has

given so much and also that so much is at stake. Fernandez defected from communist Cuba on his third try. He saved his mother’s life when she fell off the boat. He was jailed after his first two attempted flights to freedom.

Another player sparked a parting commentary this year by Vin Scully, as a tiny rebuke to the leftist drivel coming from most other celebrities.

Hernan Perez was up to bat for the Brewers (love that name).

Scully mused of how Perez might think of the conditions he faces here compared to his home in Venezuela: “Socialism failing to work as it always does, this time in Venezuela. You talk about giving everybody something free and all of a sudden there’s no food to eat. And who do you think is the richest person in Venezuela?

The daughter of Hugo Chavez. Hello.

Anyway, Oh and Two.” Any comments on these articles are welcome through a letter to the paper or to 4selfgovernment@gmail. com. My blog might interest you as well: www.alternativebyfritz.com

When to reboot

The new television season is starting to ramp up, and while I’ll probably get to a more comprehensive review of this year’s offerings, there are a couple in particular that have caught my attention. In the ongoing train wreck that has been 2016, the television industry decided to throw a bitter cherry on top by pillaging some of my favorite childhood properties for their fall line-up.

We start with “Lethal Weapon,” the gold standard of buddy-cop movies. Now it’s a primetime series on Fox. Don’t expect to see Mel Gibson here though. Instead his character is now played by Clayne Crawford, who either couldn’t be or wasn’t asked to drop his southern accent for the role. He also puts far too much product in his hair for someone we’re expected to believe is suicidal.

Likewise, replacing Danny Glover as the perpetually “too old for this” straight man, we have Damon Waynes, who plays the character as a wisecracking cop that dresses like he just came from a 1920’s jazz club.

Outside of vaguely similar back stories for the main characters, there is very little about the show that can be traced back to the movie. Which is to be expected because outside Mel Gibson and Danny Glover’s performances there really isn’t much

Age of The Geek t.k.fischer@hotmail.com

Travis Fischer is a writer for Mid America Publishing

about “Lethal Weapon” that distinguishes it from any other buddy cop drama.

The strongest connection this TV show has to the source material seems to be the font for the logo.

But hey, at least it has that much, which brings us to “MacGyver.”

Where “Lethal Weapon” is a typical 2016 cop show that half-heartedly uses the Lethal Weapon name, CBS’s new “MacGyver” is a 2016 spy show that really wants to be like the original, but fails spectacularly.

Now I don’t want to sound like a cranky old man, but who thought that “The Adventures of Baby MacGyver” was a good idea? Nothing against Lucas Till, but he is a decade younger than Richard Dean Anderson was when the original show aired in 1985.

In spite of this, our new MacGyver is still a secret agent that uses household items to improvise a variety of tools and traps. Except now he has large supporting cast that includes, a skilled soldier, a computer genius, and a wacky roommate that doesn’t know his friend spends his free time

saving the world.

Yes, MacGyver can still unlock handcuffs with a paperclip and create an electromagnet out of stripped wiring. However these feats lose their sense of astonishment when one of his teammates can hack into every camera on the west coast to track a terrorist.

And even when MacGyver’s trademark resourcefulness does come into play, it’s not done well. In the pilot episode they need to flush out a terrorist in a hotel and we get to watch MacGyver’s team stand in awe as he uses cleaning supplies and aluminum foil to create a bucket of smoke to set off the fire alarm.

As opposed to simply pulling the fire alarm.

I’m not saying that the original series didn’t have some silly situations or use some questionable science, but even watching the original pilot this week I never felt like it was actively insulting my intelligence.

There is hope at the end of the tunnel though. Sometimes TV gets it right, which brings us to “The Exorcist.”

The 1973 movie is one of the alltime greats and the new television show, judging from the pilot episode, appears to be on track to being worthy of the franchise. Unlike “Lethal Weapon” and “MacGyver,” “The Exorcist” television show isn’t a remake, but a sequel set in the same universe as the movie. Story connections to the original are barely present, but the atmosphere is hauntingly familiar, pun intended. Where “Lethal Weapon” feels like a generic police procedural wearing the skin of the classic movie and “MacGyver” feels like a generic spy show with Mac uncomfortably crammed in, “The Exorcist” feels like “The Exorcist.”

In spite of appearances to the contrary, I’m by no means against the idea of digging up old franchises and introducing them to a new audience.

But if it’s going to be done, it should be done the right way. Too often an attempt to modernize a classic story results in losing the traits that made it a classic in the first place. At that point, you may as well just try your hand at a new property.

Police records policy discussed at forum

By Travis Fischer Mid-America Publishing Public access to police records have become a hot topic in recent weeks following a court decision that determined law enforcement could withhold investigative records.

On Thursday, September 29, the Des Moines Register hosted a panel discussion of law enforcement, media, and other interested citizens to discuss all sides of the issue. Panelists invited to the discussion included Des Moines Police Sergeant Paul Perezk, State Representative Kevin Kester, former homicide detective Tim Allen, Associated Press reporter Ryan Foley, and Cedar Rapids Gazette reporter Erin Jordan.

Providing background on the current debate, Allen explained that he is a former Louisiana homicide detective that had been investigating cold cases. His investigations ran into an obstacle when the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) denied his request for old case files. Allen, believing that DCI and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) were being too strict about their policy on releasing information took them to court to have the files released.

“I am not an information anarchist,” said Allen. “There is a time and a place for information to be released. I whole heartedly believe that there are circumstances where releasing information can endanger an investigation and should be held closely.”

However, the specific cases that Allen was looking at were 40 or more years old, one of which had already been cleared with an arrest.

However, even in these cases, the

DPS and DCI denied his request for information.

“It’s that type of response that I think everybody gets when they make a request of DPS,” said Allen.

Allen’s appeal to the court system to have the records released resulted in a ruling by Polk County District Court Judge Robert Blink, who determined that, because of the placement of a comma in Iowa’s open record’s laws, law enforcement agencies can effectively seal records indefinitely.

Technically speaking, unsolved cases can remain open forever and breakthroughs can happen, however Allen says he was unable to get an answer about when any actual investigative action happened on these cases.

“If after 40 years all the evidence in these cases has not been examined and all trace evidence, all possible biological evidence has not been collected and put into codes, I think that’s something the public should know about,” said Allen. “There comes a point where investigative reports become historical records.”

While Allen’s investigation centered on old cases, the debate over open records also impacts access to current cases. Sgt. Parizek explained some of the reasons why law enforcement would want to withhold investigative details. While the Des Moines Police Department hasn’t established a policy of blanket denials, there are circumstances where they would hold back information.

“We don’t want suspects to know what information we have or where we got it,” said Parizek.

Regarding closed cases, Parizek’s first suggestion for people seek-

5

ing records on closed cases is to go through the court system.

“If you want to know what happened, they’re going to have everything documented or filed,” said Parizek.

However, for supplemental files, Parizek says that sensitive information may need to be redacted to protect other cases. For instance, in gang related cases.

“The cycle of violence with gang related issues is very obvious to everyone so we may close one homicide case and there may be a lot of information in that supplemental report in the investigative files that could impact the closure of another case that we’re working on,” said Parizek. “Or it could compromise the safety of a witness or victim in a case moving forward. Then we would definitely want to hold those things back.”

Parizek also explained that the motives behind the request also factor into the decision of whether to withhold or release information.

“I will forever argue that the spirit of that law was to inform and educate, not to entertain,” said Parizek.

“When we have certain requests that are clearly based on entertainment as opposed to informing and educating the public then you’re probably not going to get the same response.”

Citing two recent examples, Parizek explained that they have withheld video on a case where a fleeing suspect crashed into a bystander’s car, causing a fatal accident. The suspect has claimed that police pushed his car into the bystander.

“I have seen the video. We did not

hit that man’s car,” said Parizek.

“There’s nothing I would like more than to put that video out, just to put that whole thing to rest.”

However, Des Moines Police hasn’t released the video out of concern that it may compromise the suspect’s right to a fair trial and that it may set a precedent that would make it harder to justify withholding other videos. Such as a request for the video of the fatal car accident earlier this year when a drunk driver hit a police transport, killing two officers, the prisoner, and the driver.

“My response to them was ‘I’ll burn the building down before I let that video out,’” said Parizek. “The reason for that is that I see no educational value, nothing that could inform the public, about that. All it’s going to do is cause horrible pain.”

But while Parizek argued for law enforcement to have the ability to withhold information that doesn’t serve the public, the counter argument warns that such practices open the door for law enforcement to pick and choose which information gets released based on how good it makes them look.

“That is what I fear the road we’re going down,” said Foley. “That the police will use their discretion to release information that makes them look good and clears their officers of wrong doing, but that they will hold it back in cases where maybe there is questionable conduct on behalf of the police.”

Foley provided an example of a recent case in Waterloo, where video of police brutalizing a man who had led them on a high speed chase

was withheld on the investigative records exemption. Foley was able to receive a copy of the video from the suspect’s attorney and the subsequent release of the video has led to an ongoing discussion about police conduct in Waterloo.

“I worry that, in cases like that, it’s being misused,” said Foley.

The panel discussion opened up debate over who should be the gatekeeper when determining whether or not investigative files, particularly regarding video, should be released to the public, the police or the media.

Under Iowa law, law enforcement does not legally have to release anything but the incident report. The more informative supplemental materials are released at their discretion. Changing that would require a legislative action.

On that subject, Representative Kester said that Chapter 22, the public records law, was written before the advent of much of the technology used today in police investigations and is in need of an update.

“There are 67 exemptions on how to conceal a public record,” said Kester. “There is a need for change in the law.”

Police body cam video in particular has become a complicated area when it comes to law enforcement policy. With law enforcement officers regularly entering people’s homes, not to mention schools and hospitals, there are unanswered questions on when police should be recording, who should see those videos, and even how long the video should be kept.

For instance, if police video a

subject should that person have the right to see the video? In some cases Parizek says that they have allowed people to privately view video, but there is no policy or law mandating that they do so.

Other complications include video that is taken, but not attached to any specific criminal charges. Video of alleged police brutality may end up in an officer’s personnel file, rather than a court case, making it much more legally difficult to force into public view. Police are establishing their own protocols for when video is taken and how it is handled, but because it’s such complicated a subject it is difficult to develop simple rules for every situation.

“We know that this is going to be a moving target for years to come because there is no legislation, because the technology evolves,” said Parizek. “Right now, what we’re left to deal with is Chapter 22 as it reads right now.”

The crux of the issue seems to always come back on a lack of trust between law enforcement and the citizenry. Though most law enforcement agencies in the state apply common sense policies that find a middle ground between withholding sensitive information and respecting the people’s right to know, some agencies can and have used the exemptions in the public records law to circumvent its original intent.

The panel found no conclusive solutions to the issue during their discussion, but the information provided from multiple points of views shed light on the many different factors that need to be considered.

Dusty Bibles, dusty faith

The Rev. Linda Myren Immanuel United Church of Christ, Clarksville A couple of years ago, over half of our members accepted the challenge of reading the entire Bible, cover to cover, in one year. Assigned readings were given and short study sheets were handed out with a little background and other information.

As you read the following little story, I would urge you to locate your Bible and see how many mistakes you can find.

There once was a church that ordained their deacons. Before receiving confirmation to serve on this board, the elected candidates had to meet with the Church Council to be questioned. Since the Diaconate was responsible for the teaching and visitation, communion and stressing the importance of Christian living, it was considered important that these folk be well versed in the Bible. Over the years certain questions had been adopted to use by the board. This particular meeting found one nervous candidate sitting and waiting to be called. Finally the door opened and the head of the church told him to come inside. The session went something like this: QUESTION: Which is your favorite part of the Bible?

ANSWER: I guess the New Testament.

QUESTION: Which book?

ANSWER: Parables. Yes I like the book of Parables in the New Testament.

QUESTION: Which part is your favorite?

ANSWER: Well. I like the one about the man who went from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among the thieves. They threw him in a briar patch and thorns choked him and finally they hung him in a tree by his hair. Ravens came and fed him and — it was a good thing because he couldn’t get down.

Finally Delilah came and she was a seamstress so she took her scissors and cut his hair and he was free.

Then it started to rain and it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. But the man hid in a cave, only that wasn’t safe because some soldiers found him and chased him. But he escaped, and God made the river open up, and when the soldiers tried to follow him, they all drowned and turned into salt, which is how the Dead Sea came into being.

Now he could have been safe except he met up with Sheba and she was going to betray him but his friends captured her and threw her off a tower. The man said “No. Do it 70 times 70 times” so they did. When they got done they asked him what to do next and the man from Jerusalem said to let God decide which one of her seven husbands was married to her in heaven. And then a rainbow came out and God promised to cure the world. That’s my favorite story from the book of Parables.

THE COUNCIL went into closed session to vote and decided that none of them could have done a better job so they accepted this new deacon.

Now that’s a silly story.

BUT OUR faith reality is a collection of stories, a variety of little instances in life that make up our own faith journey... and sometimes we don’t exactly get them straight. We like certain parts of the story, all the places where the good guy (that’s us) wins. But being a Christian isn’t about knowing little pieces of information that we can drag out and quote out of context. Being a Christian is about putting one foot in front of the other and trying to walk where Jesus walked, trying to live like Jesus lived.

It’s not what appears on the surface, it’s not our “we have company” face.

Rather it is a call to invite God into our lives, to open the door to God’s love and forgiveness. We are called, challenged, chastised and forgiven. It doesn’t matter if we’re worshiping in the greatest cathedral on earth or in a small country church, sitting on padded benches or sitting on the ground. The choir might be 100 voices and the director might earn more than you do, or it might be four voices and one of them tries to keep time... but it’s a choir, making a joyful noise, celebrating forgiveness and grace.

I HAD a baptism in one of my churches and was invited to have dinner with the family of the baby. I was helping move things from the kitchen to the tables when I noticed a little post-it note on the refrigerator. It read: Things to do: • get Danny’s suit from the cleaners • order the cake • iron the tablecloth • dust the Bible ... the Minister’s coming My question is simple.

If we call ourselves Christians, shouldn’t we know as much as possible about Christ? We need to dust off our Bibles, not because the minister might be coming but because Jesus IS coming. How will we fit in that story?

Stockelands to report on mission Oct. 16 in Allison Mark and Lacey Stockeland and family will report on their missionary work in Haiti, at the Allison Congregational Church on Sunday, Oct. 16 in the evening.

A presentation will be at 7 p.m. with time for visiting with the family from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Mark is the son of Mary Smith of Allison.

They want to express appreciation for the many prayers for their family and for the healthy delivery of their new baby girl, Mikayah Glory Stockeland, born June 9. The whole family except for Lacey — Mark and

the two older children — contracted the Zika virus last winter while in Haiti, so the prayers for a healthy pregnancy were much appreciated.

The public is welcome, and there is no charge to attend.

Mark and Lacey Stockeland and family will report on their missionary work in Haiti on Oct. 16 in Allison. Pictured from left are Barak, Lacey holding Mikayah, Mark and Amrey Stockeland.

Public Notice

PUBLIC NOTICE Nutrient Management Plan for an Open Feedlot Operation Gold Standard Farms has submitted a Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) and an Antidegradation Review (AR) to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on behalf of Gold Standard Farms LLC a bedded barn operation with a capacity of 4800 head of swine. This operation is located in West Point 32, N1/2 of NW1/4, Butler County, and plans to apply manure in West Point Township(s), Butler County(s).

Antidegradation Review was completed on the nearest surface water; an unnamed tributary to Shell Rock River. There are no beneficial uses listed for unnamed intermittent streams.

The impacted portion of Shell Rock River is listed as a Class A1 – meaning that it is classified for waters in which recreational or other uses may result in prolonged and direct contact with the water, involving considerable risk of ingesting water in quantities sufficient to pose a health hazard. Prolonged recreational use including but not limited to, swimming, diving, and recreational canoeing. It is also classified as a WW-1 – meaning waters in which temperature, flow and other habitat characteristics are suitable to maintain warm water game fish populations along with a resident aquatic community that includes a variety of native nongame fish and invertebrate species. These waters generally include border rivers, large interior rivers and the lower segments of medium-size tributary stream. The evaluation considered the affected community, the relevant factors that characterize the social and economic conditions of the affected community and the important social and economic development associated with the project. Upon the consideration of all relevant factors, the project constitutes important social and economic development due to overall beneficial changes in the factors presented.

HOLIDAY HACKS:

Simple seasonal solutions FAMILY FEATURES

T

he air is getting cooler, leaves are changing colors and days are getting shorter. All of these seasonal changes signal that the holidays are fast approaching. While many people love gathering with family and friends at this time of the year, entertaining can take the jolly out of the holiday. This year, take the stress out of hosting with these five simple holiday hacks.

Buy in Bulk. One month before your holiday gathering, buy nuts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almonds, pistachios, walnuts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in bulk. Pour the nuts into screw-top mason jars, label with brightly colored tape and store in your pantry. When guests stop by, bring out a few jars, unscrew and serve with seasonal cider.

Candy Cane Lane. Candy cane flakes work wonders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from holiday drinks to topping off cakes and ice cream. Crush candy canes in a blender or smash between paper towels and store in an airtight container. Simply sprinkle for seasonal ease and festive yum.

Double Duty. Buy flavorful refrigerated salad dressings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think sriracha or ranch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and use to top salads or potatoes, or as a quick, delicious dip. One jar offers many solutions.

Bee Smart. Be prepared for unexpected gift-giving moments and keep several simple and affordable gifts on hand. Pour local honey into mini mason jars, wrap the neck with holiday twine and include a message that works for all, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have a BEE-autiful Holiday.â&#x20AC;?

Tis the Seasons. For entertainment ease, keep versatile products on hand, like Simply Artisan Reserve Simple Seasons, a soft, finely crumbled cheese in a shakable jar. Sprinkle the cheese on flatbreads, sliders, desserts and more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and enjoy the flavor in every bite. With just 15 minutes of prep, you can make a seasonal dessert that looks like you spent all day in the kitchen.

by Melanie Watt… A quirky safety guide combines practical tips with step-by-step instructions featuring an anxious Scaredy Squirrel, who prepares himself for the worst during the spookiest night of the year.

“Where’s My Mummy?” by Carolyn Crimi… Wanting to play just one more game of hide-and-shriek before settling down for a good night’s rest, Little Baby Mummy suddenly gets frightened by the spooky sounds out in the dark woods and so turns to his Big Mama Mummy for loving reassurance.

“The Picky Little Witch” by Elizabeth Brokamp… Mama Witch tries to get her daughter to eat some Halloween soup before going out to trick-or-treat, but Picky Little Witch finds many reasons to refuse.

“Heebie-Jeebie Jamboree” by Mary Ann Fraser… Daphne and her brother Sam attend the Heebie-Jeebie Jamboree which is held for one night only on Halloween, as they view warlocks riding brooms, visit the fun crypt, participate in a goblin pie contest, and see the Rolling Bones.

“I Want to Eat Your Books” by Karin Lefranc… A zombie threatens to destroy the school library with his passion for eating books, unless the school’s children can find something the zombie will like to do with books more than

eating them.

New Junior Nonfiction “You Wouldn’t Want to Be at the Boston Tea Party!” by Peter Cook…

This book uses humor to recount the events leading up to the colonists’ defiant act against the British, describing the Boston Tea Party itself, as well as providing a brief history of the American Revolution.

“The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind”

by William Kamkwamba & Bryan Mealer… A picture book adaptation of the memoir follows the experiences of fourteen-year-old William Kamkwamba, who built a windmill out of junkyard scraps to bring electricity to his famine-stricken Malawi village.

“George Vs.

“Sounds All Around” by Wendy Pfeffer… This picture book invites youngsters to snap their fingers, clap their hands, whistle and make other noises, explaining how sounds are invisible, measurable vibrations that travel to the ears and signify different meanings.

Butler County rural flood victims need to take flood debris to County Transfer Station Rural Butler County residents who have been victims of the recent flooding event need to take their flood debris to the County Transfer Station in Allison.

You will need to pay the dumping fee like normal, but keep your receipt for reimbursement if the county is federally declared a disaster area by the president and FEMA. Rural residents MUST NOT take debris to any of the city debris sites. Those sites are for the citizens of those cities and the transfer station has to be the drop off point for rural residents.

Also, any rural resident that has been affected by the flooding should call

the Butler County Emergency Operations Center and report it. Please give the caller’s name, address, and type of home, such as: • One-story, two-story?

• How many people live there?

• Do you own the property or rent?

• What is the damage to your home, specifically: How much water in the basement; water on main floor; structural damage?

With questions or to report rural flood damage, please call the Butler County Emergency Operations Center at 319267-9968.

Butler County Emergency Management Agency received a $1,000 grant last month from the member’s property and casualty coverage provider, Iowa Communities Assurance Pool (ICAP), for purchase of a drone. The County EMA submitted the grant application in July.

In late July, Butler County Emergency Management acquired its first drone for use in both search-and-rescue and aerial assessment operations, we reported on Aug. 11. The Phantom 4 Drone is for use with search and rescue missions, damage assessment, floodplain monitoring and law enforcement assistance, EMA Director Mitch Nordmeyer states.

Nordmeyer became interested in pur-

chasing a drone after seeing one in use during a search and rescue operation in early July. As local authorities searched for a missing Bremer County woman, a citizen offered the assistance of his drone.

“Sheriff (Jason) Johnson and I discussed it and looked at the video that he had and said we could really see a use if we had a missing person,” Nordmeyer said. “The more we talked about it we thought, with all the flooding we have in our county, we could monitor the rivers and creeks that we have; if we have to do damage assessment, sometimes it’s hard to get to certain areas.

With our road system, if we have roads or something washing out, we can do something there.”

She took the plaque home and began looking for information on Ensign, specifically about why she had been honored.

“Since she died before the D.A.R. had been started she was never a member, but at some time Revolutionary Dames, in Waverly, placed this plaque on her headstone as a daughter of a Revolutionary soldier but also a granddaughter,” Senne said.

She said the marker she had found

was broken off. Her headstone had also been damaged and was repaired before Friday’s ceremony. A smaller marker was cemented to the right of the headstone with the larger, repaired plaque to the right of that.

Senne received help locally for the project from Bob Dickson, who assisted with finding information about Ensign on a local level.

The ceremony also featured D.A.R. leaders from across Iowa including several State Regent Lucinda Carter from Monroe and State Vice-Regent Marsha Hucke from Iowa City.

‘Triumph Over Destiny’ author to speak at Clarksville Library Author’s mother survived Nazi camps, featured in book Mira Schmitt-Cash Editor

An Oelwein author will share the true story of her family’s fight for survival in Nazi-run Austria during World War II. Peladija Woodson-Diers will be at the Clarksville Public Library, 103 West Greene St., on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 6:30 p.m. to present a program on her book, “Triumph Over Destiny.”

The mother of Woodson-Diers met Adolph Hitler at age 15 and later was kidnapped and forced to work as a slave laborer. Her parents endured a decade of brutal challenges and hardships before they finally immigrated to Oelwein.

“The book was written per my mother’s recollections ‘through my mother’s eyes,’ “ Woodson-Diers said in an email interview. “As a matter of fact that was the first draft title of the book until we later changed the name to ‘Triumph Over Destiny.’”

Woodson-Diers has traveled to Europe to visit various countries although has not been back for several years. She and her sisters specifically have visited Salzburg, Klagenfurt and Munich in Austria and Germany.

“One of the scenes that will always be in my heart and mind is when I visited the grave sites of my grandmother and sister in Austria,” Woodson-Diers said, “standing by their grave sites thinking about how millions people suffered during Hitler’s reign of terror and how they endured such suffering. My grandmother’s heartfelt agony when my mother was ripped from her arms, and the tumultuous journey they survived for many, many years thereafter. I never got the chance to meet my grandmother or my sister and as I stood by their graves, thoughts of their constant heartache and anguish emanated through my mind.

“Those thoughts still bring tears to my eyes to this day. The book describes in detail their 10-year turbulent journey until they landed in the New York harbor by ship in 1951.”

The research was conducted meticulously.

“When I was researching specific in-

formation for the book I found myself, and my two older sisters (who actually survived the war along with my mother

We still have first cousins and several aunts and uncles that live in various countries in Europe. My two older sisters were born in Europe, one in Austria the other in Germany during the war.

“As for my family, they are all from overseas other than my immediate family, sisters and their families,” WoodsonDiers said. Members of the Diers family have, for several years, attended the Clarksville Church of Christ, she said.

Herman Diers taught religion at Wartburg for many years until he retired.

Books will be available for purchase for $15.99 plus tax. Refreshments will also be served following the program.

The Clarksville Public Library is wheelchair accessible, with ramps and an elevator. Feel free to call the library with any questions 319-278-1168.

For anyone unable to attend, WoodsonDiers said she will also be in Cedar Falls Public Library on Thursday, Oct. 20.

Managing the challenges of the ‘Trump Effect’

Resource released for National Bullying Prevention Month

DES MOINES — Every October, schools and organizations across the country join in observing National Bullying Prevention Month. The goal is to encourage communities to work together to stop bullying and cyberbullying by increasing awareness of the prevalence and impact of bullying on children of all ages.

The Iowa State Education Association in cooperation with Iowa Olweus Bullying Prevention Programming State Leader and Iowa Safe Schools recently released a resource for school administrators, educators, students and communities titled “Managing the Challenges of the Political Season: Bullying Prevention and Response.”

The resource recognizes the impact heated political rhetoric in this year’s election has already had on prekindergarten through 12th-grade schools, which has been increasing the level of fear and anxiety among students of all ages, especially among ethnic, racial and linguistic minorities, children with disabilities, and LGBTQ youth, an ISEA news release stated.

Many have referred to the phenomenon as the “Trump Effect.”

“Some examples we’ve had in our school so far this year involved Anglo students invoking Trump as a way to goad Hispanic students,” said Dan Stevenson, a teacher at West Liberty Junior High. “At our middle school we had a student put pictures of Trump on another student’s locker as a means of intimidation. I have heard the term ‘illegal’ used much more frequently than in past years,” Stevenson added.

“I am a school counselor and we have definitely seen an uptick in aggressive behavior that I believe has been given root by a campaign season full of racially charged and mean spirited messages,” said Amy DeGroot-Hammer, School Counselor at Sioux City West High School.

“Our students are watching and they do mirror behavior they believe is acceptable – and unfortunately this type of modeling is completely unacceptable and frightening,” DeGroot added.

The ISEA worked with a consortium of individuals and organizations to develop “Managing the Challenges of the Political Season: Bullying Prevention and Response” and has made it available in Professional Development

courses for district training and online.

“Heated political talk comes to school with students and can turn into bullying, harassment or discrimination pretty quickly,” said Nate Monson, Executive Director of Iowa Safe Schools.

“We hope this resource offers our schools and the community some good strategies, appropriate responses and curricular resources to help kids in this tougher environment.”

“Educators know the impact words have on children – and we know they watch everything that is going on so we anticipated the effect a year of mean spirited attacks by political candidates on certain populations of people would have,” added ISEA President Tammy Wawro. “We worry about the impact now in our schools, and honestly, we worry about the impact carried into the future. So, we worked together with other organizations to develop this resource as one way to help counter the bad effects.”

Now is the time of year for youth to join and participate in 4-H, the youth development program of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Butler County is celebrating all things 4-H during National 4-H Week Oct. 2-8.

4-H is active in each of Iowa’s 99 counties and empowers youth to reach their full potential through many different types of experiences including photography, music, woodworking, sewing, archery, livestock and horticulture. Youth have

fun while gaining valuable skills in communication and the arts, citizenship and leadership, science, technology, engineering and math, as well as healthy living and personal life management by being involved in 4-H. During National 4-H Week it is important to remember the 4-H pledge, which is recited at nearly every 4-H club meeting, and what it teaches: “I pledge my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service and my

Health to better living, for my club, my community, my country and my world.”

4-H grows confidence, creativity, curiosity, courage, character and much more in youth. 4-H allows youth to use the skills that they learn to go out and make a positive difference in their communities.

To learn more about how 4-H youth development is empowering young people in Butler County, visit extension.iastate.edu/4h.

SPORTS Rival N-P rallies by Bearcats

up the middle, they’ll throw it in there.

Jarel Arbegast is their quarterback and a heck of an athlete. They have a couple of big linemen who like to get in there.

They are a smash mouth team, they like to play a trap, that type of stuff.”

Kristi Nixon

chroniclesports@iowaconnect.com

GREENE – North Butler coach Travis Miller thought things were looking up.

He finally had a healthy team with his quarterback Dalton Nelson returning from injury after three weeks.

But in the matter of just two plays Miller lost Nelson again – this time for good – and then lost his starting center Cody Nederhoff on a chop block penalty early in the second half.

All of it accumulated in a 30-28 Nashua-Plainfield rally by the Bearcats on Monday, Oct. 3 in a makeup game after the town of Greene was flooded on the original scheduled date.

“I’m guessing they are both severe,” Miller said of the injuries. “I don’t think either will be back this year. I think one is a broken ankle and the other is an MCL, but I’m no doctor, so we’ll see.

“It’s heartbreaking for sure. We finally had a full team. And, obviously, when we are full strength, then good things happen. I think we gave them everything they wanted for sure, but it’s just too bad.”

North Butler had the lead from the 9 minute, 20 second mark of the first quarter all the way until Mason Hyde’s three-yard touchdown run with 8:34 left in the game.

Hyde, listed as 5-foot-9, 200 pounds, appeared to be a handful toward the end of the game for the depleted Bearcats.

He carried the ball 20 times for 99 yards and two scores.

“First half, he wasn’t (as heavy a load), a tale of two halves,” Miller said.

“I know you get a little tired, but when you get tired, you start standing up; you try to tackle Mason high, it’s just not going to work. He’s a powerful back in the lower half and so if you try to hit him high, he’ll run you over and that’s what we were doing.”

The Bearcats led 28-18 at the half after Brandon Trees, who scored two rushing touchdowns, returned a N-P kickoff more than 80 yards for his third score of the night.

But North Butler didn’t get anything going in the second half, being forced to go 3-and-out in its first two possessions of the second half and getting a heavy dose of the run game courtesy of Hyde.

“It was just a tale of two halves,” Miller said. “We were able to do things in the first half, we tackled well, we blocked guys, our offense was rolling. Second half, we just didn’t play the same.

“Call it attitude and effort, call it losing your starting quarterback and center, the offense stopped, does that make a difference? Sure. But you could see that we were deflated and we didn’t play the same energy level as the first

The task doesn’t get any easier for the Bearcats, who will play a hot West Fork team in their third game in seven days.

“And West Fork, they found their ‘Mojo’ now, so they are kind of rolling,” Miller said. “They did real well against St. Ansgar a couple of weeks ago and probably played them tougher than anybody and they beat this Nashua-Plainfield team last week, so it’s not going to be any easier, it’s going to be tougher.

“West Fork likes read-option type stuff, they are going to do a lot of option

No. 7 Darby Christensen fires back during the Jace Smith mitochondrial disease benefit on Sept.

20 at Nashua. (Tribune-Journal photo/Mira Schmitt-Cash)

NB 3-0 vs. N-P at mitochondrial disease benefit

NASHUA — North Butler Volleyball lit up the court for a cause, going 3-0 versus Nashua-Plainfield, at a benefit game, Fighting Together: Volleyball for Mitochondrial Disease, in memory of Jace Smith, of Waverly, on Sept. 20.

Scores were 25-16, 25-19 and 25-16.

The team participated in the Running with Ryan memorial event last year at Osage, coach Bryan Tabbert said, noting now they are supporting mitochondrial disease.

“It’s more than just volleyball,” he said. “We push leadership, sportsmanship at all levels,” he said, listing junior varsity, varsity and freshman squad.

“They played pretty well Saturday (Sept. 17) so that gave us some momentum,” Tabbert said. Senior Taylor Salge was back in the lineup, having recovered from an illness.

Marcy Jacobs had 24 digs, followed

by Christensen with 17 and Siemens with 14.

Taylor Salge led in assists with 10, followed by eight from Madi Pleas.

Nicole Heeren had 11 kills, followed by Christensen with eight.

Emy Osterbuhr led serve aces with four, followed by Darby Christensen with three and Kayla Siemens with two.

MITOCHONDRIA exist in every cell of the body, producing 90 percent of the energy the body needs to function, according to a pamphlet.

With mitochondrial disease, the mitochondria fail to convert food and oxygen into life-sustaining energy. Yearly, 1,000 to 4,000 U.S. children are born with a mitochondrial disease, but perhaps more, as it is often misdiagnosed.

The boy being honored, Jace Smith, passed away from complications correlated to his mitochondrial disease last April at age 13, at the hospital in Rochester, Minn.

In Smith’s case, mitochondrial disease led to seizures, which the hospital was not able to control. He was put into a medically induced coma to give his brain time to rest for 11 weeks, at which time a MRI revealed his brain was no longer functioning. Genetic testing showed a mutation on a single gene, which caused a partial mitochondrial disruption.

The goal of funding research is to

find effective treatments and ultimately a cure. A silent auction was held in the lobby.

Schools participating in the benefit, Fighting Together: Volleyball for Mitochondrial Disease in 2016 are Clarion-Goldfield-Dows, Clear Lake, Coe College, Denver, Garner-HayfieldVentura, Janesville, Nashua-Plainfield, New Hampton, North Butler, Riceville and Waverly-Shell Rock.

No. 3 Emy Osterbuhr battles at the net as Hallie Testroet looks on in the Jace Smith mitochondrial disease benefit on Sept. 20 at Nashua. North Butler won 3-0 in the feel-good competition.

Meanwhile, Nelson recovered well from an injury that had him out for three weeks, throwing 9-of-13 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns.

North Butler held the Warriors to 25 yards in the first half and led 26-0 before the visitors started connecting on passes it missed before the break to make it a game.

When Nelson hit Sam Dolan for a 19-yard swing pass with four minutes, 55 seconds remaining, the Bearcats led 48-22.

Rockford responded with a couple of quick scores in the final 4:38 to make it look a lot closer than the final score indicated.

Dolan also scored three rushing touchdowns while Brandon Trees scored once through the ground and caught a Nelson touchdown pass.

Defensively, Rhett Lammers led the way with six solo stops. The Bearcats also forced a fumble and came up with an interception from Louden Franke and Dallas Testroet, respectively.

North Butler was forced to play three games in a week’s span after the Friday, Sept. 23 game against NashuaPlainfield was postponed due to severe flooding of the Shell Rock River.

So much more than volleyball North Butler, West Fork battle during Pink Out, Senior Night after flood recovery Kristi Nixon

chroniclesports@iowaconnect.com

GREENE – There was so much going on packaged around the North Butler vs.

West Fork volleyball match on Tuesday, Sept. 27.

A night that had already been planned to raise money for breast cancer awareness in which the Bearcats were wearing pink uniforms, they also recognized their four seniors and made a heartfelt thank you to those in the West Fork community who came to help with flood/storm recovery when the Shell Rock River went out of its banks the week before as well as a small tornado that hit Greene.

And, oh yeah, there was a Top of Iowa Conference match to be played.

That went to West Fork, 3-1, after it got off to a fast start and held on against a hard-charging Bearcat team in the 259, 25-21, 20-25, 25-23 final.

The first set wasn’t indicative of what was to come in the match.

“I think it was just the girls getting

back in rhythm,” North Butler coach Bryan Tabbert said. “They missed part of practice Wednesday because of the tornadoes that came. We had to spend three hours in the boys’ locker room, half without power, didn’t have school Friday, missed our tournament Saturday.

Monday, we finally had practice and the girls are sore from sandbagging, picking up trees, stuff like that.

“They came in sore, so I didn’t want to push them too much because we knew we had a big game (the next day). So, it was just a matter of getting back into the rhythm of volleyball.”

West Fork coach Abbee Dickman realized that the lack of practice and playing time factored into the slow Bearcat start.

“That’s very, very possible and I feel awful on that side of it because they probably didn’t get as much practice time in and probably couldn’t even get here to the gym to practice,” Dickman said. “We were wondering if we were going to have the game at our place be-

cause of the situation. It was an opportunity to play tonight and our girls did a good job tonight as well as theirs.”

In the opening set, North Butler recorded seven kills. The following three sets the Bearcats put down 35 more with both Nicole Heeren and Kayla Siemens tallying nine while Darby Christensen and Emy Osterbuhr had eight apiece.

That contributed to the set three win that forced the fourth which was backand-forth.

“The girls bounced back from all of it,” Tabbert said. “The girls summed up the community, not going to the Denver tournament so they could stay and help out family here in Greene. I spent Saturday helping out coach (Ross) Hawker clean out the Greene Recorder, pulling out carpet. That’s more important than volleyball right there.”

But in the end, the quick start by West Fork proved to be the deciding factor.

Jacqlyn Caspers recorded a match-high 13 kills and Lexi Bray added 12. Four of Caspers’ kills were tips.

“We battled,” Tabbert said. “West Fork is a great team. Jacqlyn Caspers is a great athlete and has that natural height that we had trouble dealing with. She was able to tip the ball at us.”

But Dickman said she would have rather seen her team put down straight kills rather than tip against North Butler.

“I like strategy and I like the fact that they like to hit,” Dickman said. “I always tell them, ‘it’s not as hard you can hit, it’s the placement of the ball.’ Tonight, it wasn’t just the placement. We were able to capitalize when we hit hard and they were struggling with it. To be honest, when they blocked a couple it went in our head a little bit, that’s what happens.

We got scared and backed down; I told them, ‘if you get scared, are you going to lay there and take it or are you going to fight back?’ and they came through, and I’m proud of them.”

In the fourth and final set, with the score knotted at 23, Bray recorded a push kill and then Teya Adams’ ace ended it.

“We knew North Butler is a good team and no matter their record, they are a strong team and they come and they fight,” Dickman said. “They might not always have six volleyball players, but they always have six athletes on the court and that’s why I always love playing against them.

“Because they are competitive and tonight we were able to capitalize on the first two games and luckily for us, we took the first handily and in the third game, we knew we couldn’t just die down. To be completely honest, I knew something was going to happen. I was just waiting for it. It wasn’t a shock.”

Tabbert considered the way his team fought back a thing to build from.

“Once they got back into volleyball, built up the confidence, I think they were able to play with West Fork, just a little too late for us,” Tabbert said. “I told the girls I was proud of them. We battled back from everything that happened last week and we battled back from the first set.”

Continued from page 1 Annual Juvenile Diabetes Trail Ride will be simplified to the dance and auction, to occur Saturday, Oct. 8 at Doc’s in Clarksville.

At 8 p.m., there will be a dance at Doc’s Restaurant Lounge on North Main Street to the band, Borderline.

The auction is to include four processed halves of hog, and a 50/50 cash raffle.

(Need not be present to win if including phone number.)

The potluck supper preceding it is canceled, organizer Butch Freeseman said.

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).

It is Butch’s 44th and last year organizing the event, for which, whether the trail work will pan out, is contingent on the volatile weather.

And Much

DON’T FORGET OUR CHILDREN. In the aftermath of the disasters of 2008 Pathways Behavioral Services became involved in a crisis mental health outreach project which lasted 18 months. One of the biggest lessons learned was not to forget about the kids.

Children are impacted disproportionately to disasters but often are the most sidelined. Adults are focused on clean up, insurance and getting back to work. Children are given a place to play, basic needs are taken care of, but little time is usually taken to talk with them about how they feel.

Small children do not understand what is going on. They find the entire series of events scary and disorienting. They are often afraid it may happen again and may panic the next time it rains.

Make sure you take the time to talk to your children. Assure them that they are safe. Keep an eye on them the next time the weather turns stormy.

If symptoms such as nightmares, sleeplessness, anxiety or other behaviors unusual to your child occur, seek out a professional. Being proactive can save your child from years of misery.

For more information please contact Pathways at 319-235-6571.
