NEWS - REVIEW

character traits and his legacy lives on across the border and I think it’s just an awesome thing to see schools from all over come to learn about his legacy and how to become a better leader in their sports and their school.

The Academy was a hit from its first session. Kerns said the plan all along was to cut attendance off at 450 and they reached that number the first year.

This year’s Academy featured more than 500 people, with others turned away.

“We had more than 250 registered in the first 24 hours,” he said. “It’s been amazing.”

This year’s Leadership Academy included sessions with Kerns and Aaron Thomas, both of whom speak at each of the events, as well as Ed Thomas’ brother Greg, an administrator and coach at Humboldt High School, KWWL journalist Amanda Goodwin and keynote speaker Ben Jacobson, the head basketball coach at the University of Northern Iowa. Other past speakers have included legendary former University of Iowa wrestling coach Dan Gable and Wartburg coach Marcus Newsome.

Kerns said the message of the academy is for students to become “good people.”

“Just to do what’s right, just to be a good character person,” he said. “To be a positive leader in your school and your community.”

It’s a message the students seem to be understanding.

“It really motivated me to become a better leader out in the community and with my peers and even my siblings,” Aplington-Parkersburg senior Dani Johnson said. “It was really good today, I enjoyed all of it.”

Waterloo West freshman Kelsey Fetch, who was part of a group brought to the Academy by the UNI Educational Talent Search Program, said she learned that leadership is more than making people follow, that it’s about turning others into leaders.

(John Jensen/Eclipse News-Review photo) The students also learned that leadership is about taking action.

“Leaders have to take it upon themselves to lead in the good times and the bad and they need to learn to persevere when it’s hard,” Haren said.

Johnson added that the word respect comes to mind as she thought of the day.

“Respect everyone … lots of respect,” she said.

One of the things Kerns said that he’s seen at the Academy is how many really good kids there are.

“I wish everybody could see them,” he said. “It’s pretty easy to get in the mindset that ‘Oh these young people today …’ Come up here, take a look.

This is really good stuff and if we focus on the right things good things are going to happen.”

Kerns and Jan Thomas admitted that the day can get a little emotional.

“You watch videos of Ed and just seeing and hearing everybody’s situations and how they inspire people,” Thomas said. “It’s emotional, it’s

moving but it’s all good.”

“For me personally it enters my mind, I’d be lying if I said it didn’t, but I’m so inspired by what I learned from him and the things he taught me that I want young people to get it,” Kerns said. “I have kids of my own, I want them to get this. And I care about Iowa and I care about Iowa kids and I think everyone in the Ed Thomas Family Foundation, that’s what we’re about.

In addition to the annual October session at A-P, a second session is held each year at the Iowa Events Center and Iowa Hall of Pride in Des Moines.

Kerns said he sees the Academy being a long-term event. ““It’s more than I envisioned now, so I see it going on for a number of (years). We’ll probably have to adjust some things, maybe go to a different part of the state,” he said.

That said, Kerns said he sees one of the sessions always being in Parkersburg simply because it is important to the Thomas family.

Legacy Leadership Academy carrying on Thomas’ legacy

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — More than three years ago, board members of the Ed Thomas Family Foundation were looking for ways to carrying on Thomas’ legacy. The result was the Ed Thomas Legacy Leadership Academy, which entered its third year Thursday with an all-day session at Aplington-Parkersburg High School.

“After Ed was gone there was a group of people that set up the Foundation and we tried a couple of things, talked about a couple of different approaches …,” said Al Kerns, Thomas’ longtime friend and assistant coach who serves on the Foundation.

“We tried to do a coach’s clinic in honor of Coach where coaches would take back coaching kids about the right things, not just winning all the time,” he said. “It was hard to do. It was hard to get coaches there, so we said ‘Let’s do something for kids,’ then we came up with the Leadership Academy idea and it’s just been amazing. Our response has been unbelievable.”

Since the Academy formed, more than 2,400 students from more than 100 different schools have gone through it. This year’s students were from as nearby as A-P and Grundy Center and as far away as Bloomfield and Perry.

“It means a lot just to think that people thought enough of what he was trying to do to continue that,” Thomas’ widow Jan said of the academy.

“And it does speak to the fact that he really did touch a lot of people. I think he would be smiling big right now because this is exactly the kind of thing that he was all about.”

A-P senior Trevor Haren, who attended this year’s academy, said the distance that schools come to Parkersburg from spoke volumes about Coach Thomas.

“Knowing that his impact has gone across the state, it’s really awesome,” he said. “He was a man of many great

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

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

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.

Citizen questions City Council about water line repairs

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — The Parkersburg City Council last Monday dealt with a citizen upset about repairs to the water line into his home.

Bill Bunn said he felt his private service line was not properly repaired because of the type of fitting used.

He said he had visited a Cedar Falls plumbing business and then visited with the Cedar Falls city plumbing inspector who said it has not used flared fittings in more than 10 years because they are flawed.

“When they make it, it’s hard to hard to keep the walls of this flare equal, not thin, dirt can get in it; it can be compromised in so many ways that they don’t use it anymore,” he said. “The cause of the leak this year is because of the fix that was done last year.”

Public Works employee Scott Barrett defended the use of the flared fitting, noting that it is still legal.

“We have flared lines out there that have been in place in this town for well over 60 years,” he said. “When they did the Main Street project they put all flared services in. I think the flared fitting is one of the best fittings that’s out there and we need to continue using that.”

Mayor Perry Bernard asked Bunn what a suitable solution would be in his view, with Bunn answering that he would like the city to execute the repair. Barrett noted, however, that the line in question, which runs from the public main to Bunn’s home, is a private line and that city ordinance states that the property owner is responsible for repairs to the line.

“I don’t care about city ordinances, I care about what’s fair,” Bunn said. “I don’t care about city ordinances, I care about people standing behind their work.”

The city agreed that it would meet with the inspector Bunn referenced to help determine if there was a better way of repairing similar private lines in the future.

IN OTHER BUSINESS, the Council approved an easement request from Laverne Klutier for a private sanitary sewer tile east of the City shop. Council discussion centered around whether the tile would be in the way of any future construction on the site. There was also discussion about the City installing a recreational vehicle dumping station at the same site. The vote to approve the variance request was unanimous.

Barrett also discussed pool repairs, noting that the shallow section of the swimming pool and wading pool had been painted, and said water at city parks will be shut off Oct. 17 and that no exceptions would be made to this.

Barrett also asked Council members to drive by two ash trees and and examine them.

“The bottoms of the trees look pretty good but the (the tops of the trees) aren’t just newly dead – it’s been dead for a long time. This looks like stuff that’s ready to fall,” he said. “I’d like to take those both down, but I would really like your guys’ backing on it, your approval, to do that.”

Rod Luhring said Heartland Asphalt will be in town in the near future to complete street repair projects and said he is investigating getting quotes for a tailgate sander for the dump truck.

Council also discussed police staffing as the City recruits a new police chief. It said the Butler County Sheriff’s Department has been helpful during the transition time and that one candidate had expressed interest in joining the Parkersburg department on a part time basis.

Economic Development Director Janice Johnson reported that the city had issued just shy of $5 million in building permits during Fiscal 2016 and that the city has already issued $900,000 in permits through the first three months of the current fiscal year.

The next Parkersburg City Council meeting will be Nov. 7.

Parkersburg sees substantial growth in past 12 months EDITOR’S NOTE — This story was contributed by the City of Parkersburg.

The city of Parkersburg saw a dramatic increase in the total value amount of building permits applied for in the last 12 months. The total amount of building permits reached a high of $4,933,050 in fiscal year 2016. This growth continues a trend of growth and development the city has been experiencing for several years. “Our recent numbers provide a reason to celebrate and they are a reflection of the hard work and perseverance of the community and the area in general,� Janice Johnson, Parkersburg Economic Developer, said.

Parkersburg continues to do what is necessary to attract businesses and families to the community. In regards to why people are considering Parkersburg, Johnson said, “As I have spoken with people who have recently moved here or are seeking to move here, they continually give credit to our strong school district, the community, our churches, and the people who are recommending they move here, whether they are family members or friends.�

She gives credit for all of the interest to our new high school building, fantastic parks and playgrounds, recent projects such as the beautification of the highway corridor and pedestrian trail and the Diamonds and Fields project. She also said the building of the new Legend Trail Inns and Suites at the intersections of Highway 14 and 57 is “icing on the cake.�

Briefly.

A-P Women’s Connection DJay Ellis, one of the Legend Trail to host luncheon

Inns and Suites investors, said the question of building a hotel in Parkersburg developed quickly into something that was going to happen. He said the Aplington-Parkersburg community has a lot to offer. “There is so much going on, and the hotel just fits,� he said. “It is also good for the surrounding communities.�

At the recent groundbreaking of the new hotel, Ellis encouraged those present by saying that there are a lot more things that can be done in Parkersburg.

Regarding the recent growth, Parkersburg City Administrator Chris Luhring said this is what the community has been striving for and the goal is to sustain this growth for many years to come, not just a one year bump. “I love this community, the people, and I am not surprised at all by the growth we are having,� he said. “Everyone has been working hard to attract new businesses and families.

Parkersburg has excellent access to major highways and our location near the Cedar Valley makes us a very attractive place to do business and live.�

Luhring said he is also encouraged by the number and dollar amount of building permits that have come in so far this fiscal year. “Since July, we have already had over $940,000 worth of permits applied for, including four new houses.

This number also does not take into consideration the construction value of the hotel project.�

Ladies are invited to the A-P Women’s Connection Luncheon Monday, Oct. 17 at 12:30 p.m. at the Parkersburg United Methodist Church on Florence Street.

Please call 319-346-1060 by Friday, Oct. 14 for cost information and to make reservations.

Andrew Voss and Sarah Harken sang “You Are My Sunshine” and “Lucky.”

Adam Limburg, Doyle Voss and Kevin Schipper shared special memories.

Kevin Schipper , Kevin Klooster, Randy Druvenga, Wayne Green, Doyle Voss and Speed Limburg served as Casketbearers.

Visitation was held from 4 to 7 p.m., on Wednesday, at First Reformed Church in Aplington. Memorials may be directed to the family. Redman-Schwartz Funeral Home assisted the family. Online condolences may be left at www.redman-schwartz.com James Edward Limburg was born the son of John “Jack” and Maxine “Faye” (Wiley) Limburg on November 22, 1956, in Waterloo, Iowa.

Jim graduated from Aplington High School in 1975 and continued his education at University of Northern Iowa earning a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in accounting in 1980.

On August 12, 1978, Jim was united in marriage to Manelva Ann Johnson at Bethel Reformed Church in rural Aplington. The couple lived in the Aplington area their entire married lives. After graduation from UNI, Jim went to work for Grundy County Rural Electric Company, first as an accountant, then working his way up to general manager.

Jim was a faithful member of Bethel

Clareen Byl Clareen (Claire) Joyce Byl, 65, of Centerville, passed into the arms of her Heavenly Father on October 4, 2016 at Mercy Hospice in Johnston, with her family by her side, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Claire was born on April 7, 1951, in Aplington, the daughter of Mervin and Verna Best. She was raised on the family farm alongside her brother Ron. She graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a Bachelors of Arts with a major in Library Science in 1973 and received her Masters of Science degree in Education in Effective Teaching from Drake University in 1993. She was a library assistant at the University of Tennessee in Nashville from 1973 to 1976 and taught private piano lessons from 1982 to 1985, but began her teaching career in 1985 with the Centerville Community School District (CCSD) at Lakeview Elementary School and continued until her retirement as the Senior Librarian of the CCSD K-12 in May of 2014.

Her smile was contagious and she would light up the room when she walked in. She loved every student that passed through her doors. Claire especially enjoyed dressing up as Cat in the Hat every year for Dr. Suess’ birthday for her students and would also instruct the school to “Drop everything and read!”

Always an avid lover of music, Claire sang in the Friends in Christ in the late 1990’s, the First United Methodist Church Praise Team, as well as the church choir when she was able to.

How can you help Extension and Outreach grow in the future?

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News Review As many of you likely did, I spent much of last week on hurricane watch, as Hurricane Matthew headed for and ultimately struck the east coast of Florida. Unlike most of you, however, this watch was extremely personal — my parents live in east-central Florida and received a semi-direct hit from the storm.

Hurricanes are something we don’t think about here in the Midwest. We have our severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, we have our snow storms and those of you who live near rivers and streams get to worry about occasional flooding.

Hurricanes are different, in that they encompass most of what Mother Nature can dish out (except, of course, the snow) along with a storm surge that’s as dangerous as anything.

Mom and Dad have been in Florida for about 20 years, and all of my grandparents before that, so I’ve always kept a close eye on storms.

When one enters the Caribbean I tend to watch closer. So long as I can remember, the storms have tended to head from the region either into the Gulf of Mexico, where they make landfall somewhere between Florida’s west coast and Texas, or head straight north, missing Florida’s east coast. This is due to both geography and the Gulf Stream. South Florida, which gets hit by a hurricane every few years, is significantly east of the area between Daytona Beach and Jacksonville.

Thus if a storm moves straight north, which they historically do, they are far from land when they go past Daytona and Jacksonville and tend to make landfall closer to the Carolinas. The Gulf Stream, which flows north along Florida’s east coast and then turns east toward North Carolina, also tends to steer storms away from Daytona Beach and surrounding areas.

Hurricane Matthew took an unusual path because a second named storm in the region, Hurricane Nicole, forced it west of the usual path. When I first began watching the storm, the part of Florida where Mom and Dad live wasn’t even within the cone of possible paths for the storm. When Nicole developed as an unnamed tropical depression the cone moved just a little west, though forecasters didn’t expect Nicole to become anything. It was as that storm intensified that it appeared there could be trouble brewing. I called Dad Tuesday afternoon as I waited for that day’s cross country meet and Dad said he had a bad feeling about the storm. So did I … though I take a lot more stock in Dad’s premonitions than my own. Remember the old cliché that father knows best … mine does … he is almost always right about these things. In this case unfortunately so.

Wednesday things started to look better – like the storm would hit farther south and have less impact on their area. But by Thursday it became very apparent that this was going to be a big one for them.

Turns out that the storm stayed a little further off the coast than expected, limiting damage in the area where my parents live. They were without power until Sunday and had lots of small tree debris in the yard, but nothing that couldn’t be picked up with a lawn tractor and trailer. Daytona Beach wasn’t as lucky, though even it expected worse damage than it received.

Though I don’t normally visit Florida during hurricane season, the couple of times I have at this time of year have been interesting. Much like the meteorologists up here watch impending snow storms days in advance, weather people down there watch the tropics constantly. So much as a tropical wave (which is what eventual hurricanes start as) gets a mention by evening news weather forecasters and if anything develops it quickly becomes a headline.

For people living closer to the coast than my parents, it can be a life-or-death situation.

The fallout from this storm will be seen for years to come. The last major hurricane to hit the area my parents are in came in 2004 (a year when three storms directly impacted the area), and when I visited for Christmas later that year, many businesses still had not repaired the signage. Damage was particularly noticeable at the hotels on Daytona Beach, some of which had been destroyed. I suspect that when I visit next year I’ll see a lot of the same thing.

By JAKE BATES Manager, Parker Place In a world rapidly advancing in everyday technology, we sit on the sidelines waiting for driverless transportation. What a wonderful advancement this will be! The cost of transportation for consumers could reduce immensely. Transportation for the elderly and ill will be just a click away. Until this advancement is a reality, our elderly population will continue to struggle with meeting their basic transportation needs independently.

For much of the senior population, a lack of transportation can create serious issues. Traveling to appointments can fall heavy on those who are unable to safely transport themselves. Family members often find themselves miss-

An Apple a Day ...

The tantalizing smells coming from the kitchen in the fall simply cannot be beat! Whether it’s applesauce in the slow cooker slowly turning into apple butter, apple cake with caramel sauce or melted caramel drizzled over apple slices it makes my mouth water just writing them! October is Apple Month!

For the first year in many, I am almost keeping up with the apples on our tree. (However, driving by it this morning I see I need to get back out there and pick up windfalls this weekend!) Of course it helps that my Dad and our granddaughters all love applesauce; it gives me a little more motivation to keep that slow cooker on the counter and brown sugar in the cupboard!

Did you know over 100 varieties of apples are grown in the U.S.? One list I found had McIntosh, Fuju, Red Delicious, Gala, Crispin, Braeburn, Honeycrisp, Jonagoold, Granny Smith, Empire, Golden Delicious, Cameo, Jazz, Macoun, Ambrosia, Paula Red, Cripps Pink and Cortland as the leading favorites. Glad to see that our Cortland made the list, but have to admit I haven’t heard of some of these varieties!

Do you know your apples better than I do? Here’s just a few common varieties and the best way to use them: McIntosh – This apple is best suited for snacking and applesauce. I remember climbing this apple tree in the back corner of my grandmother’s garden. I knew better than to knock down ANY apples. We would pick in the fall, wrap each one in newspaper, layer them in a big old barrel in her basement and enjoy those apples all winter!

Red Delicious – This apples is popular for snacking and adding to salads. Red Delicious are probably the most widely recognized variety in the U.S. Gala – This apple is a great snacking choice. These were a favorite of mine for many years. Sliced and eaten with peanut butter; PURE JOY! Braeburn – This variety is a great choice for snacking and baking.

Honeycrisp – My new favorite, these apples are great for snacking, salads and applesauce. Sometimes these apples are almost too much apple for snacking so grab the smaller size with the same great flavor!

Granny Smith – This distinctively green and somewhat tart apple makes the absolute best choice for caramel apples. There’s just the right balance of sweet and tart flavors.

Golden Delicious – With its yellow color and buttery honey taste, the Golden Delicious is great for baking. Grandma had one of these trees too, but it was never one of my favorites. Not sure if it was because apples shouldn’t be yellow or because it is a softer apple.

Cortland – This is a big, beautiful tart apple. It actually turns brown much slower than other varieties, so it’s a great slicer. It’s the tree in our yard that we use for everything!

Whether you visit a local Farmer’s Market, take a drive to Wisconsin or go out your back door and pick, I hope you take time this fall to enjoy an apple!

You know what they say, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

Letter to the Editor History of the A/P Food Pantry and moving forward We are pleased to announce that the new coordinators of the Aplington/ Parkersburg Food Pantry are Megan Kalkwarf and Sandy Cox. We cannot begin to express our thankfulness that they have been challenged to take on this mission to help those in need in our combined communities.

As with all things there will be changes. These changes will make the pantry more efficient and client friendly. This pantry, as well as all other area pantries, are governed by the Northeast Iowa Food Bank in Waterloo, Iowa. The NEIFB requires: civil rights training, food safety training, accurate record keeping and inspections of the pantry. The new coordinators have met all of these requirements.

In 2005, when the pantry was first started, Jan Eldridge saw a need in this community to allow people to have adequate food available to those in need.

Individuals that at times were making the choice between being able to buy the food they needed or purchase their required medicine was very evident. Jan approached her church and started the pantry in the Parkersburg United Methodist Church. During this period, Sharon Schneiderman, stepped up to help. There also was a small pantry in Aplington that had to close and thus joined with the Parkersburg pantry to make the combined

pantry. The pantry started out small and has grown to serve as many as 60 families per month. These numbers do fluctuate during the calendar year. There have been as many as 90 plus families served per month. When Sharon Schneiderman retired from the pantry Margaret Schuck stepped in to assist Jan. When the number of families served grew too large for the area available in the church the pantry moved to the Civic Center building where it currently resides thanks to the generosity of the Civic Center Board of Directors.

Now the time has come for us to turn over the pantry to these women who have a passion and desire to continue this mission. It is our hope that all the many volunteers that have been so willing to assist with the pantry continue to be there for Megan and Sandy.

It takes lots of hands to do this work.

We also ask for the continued support of donations to the pantry: non-perishable food, paper and personal products, as well as your financial donations. Many thanks to the churches, civic organizations and individuals of both Aplington and Parkersburg for their past support.

AEA 267 announces name change CEDAR FALLS — Citing a desire to present a more unified image and take advantage of timing, the AEA 267 board of directors made a decision during their October 5 meeting to change the agency’s name from Area Education Agency 267 to Central Rivers Area Education Agency. “The board rarely makes unilateral decisions, but in this case we felt it was appropriate to move ahead without a lengthy process that detracted from the important work that our staff and schools have to do ,� said Roberta Kraft-Abrahamson, AEA 267 board vice president. “The timing is right given recent conversations around updates to facilities, the fact that our website is in the midst of a complete overhaul and many of our building signs are in need of replacement. From a dollars and cents standpoint we had to make these improvements anyway.

Why not take advantage of the timing

and forge ahead?�

Previous site visits from the Iowa Department of Education echoed the sentiment that others have had about the agency’s current name for years - that it honors the past three organizations that merged back in 2003 but doesn’t project an image of one organization. “In my many conversations with staff and the educators that we serve, the name conjured up images of “AEA 2-6-7� rather than one organization,� said Sam Miller, AEA 267 Chief Administrator. “Given our limited resources, if we were going to make this change, now was the time.�

The new name will be phased in around the first of the year when the new agency website is launched.

Supplies bearing the agency’s current name will be used up throughout the spring and the official changeover will take place on July 1, 2017.

Story Time was a lot of fun this week! It was led by volunteer, Eileen Kramer and she did a great job reading to the kids. They were working on identifying their colors while singing a fun song in the one picture. They are also shown with decorated hats they made during craft time.

Parkersburg Police Department to take back unwanted prescription drugs PARKERSBURG — On Saturday, Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Parkersburg Police Department and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its 12th opportunity in six years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs.

Bring pills for disposal to UnityPoint Health Clinic at 502 Third Street in Parkersburg. The service is free and anonymous. No questions asked.

Last April, Americans turned in 447 tons (more than 893,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at 5,400 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,200 of its state and local law enforcement

partners. Overall, in its 11 previous Take Back events, the DEA and its partners have taken in more than 6.4 million pounds – about 3,200 tons – of pills.

The initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the United States are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition,

Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines – flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash – both pose potential safety and health hazards.

For more information about the disposal of prescription drugs or about the Oct. 22 Take Back Day event, go to the DRA Diversion Web site or contact the Parkersburg Police Department, 319-346-2422.

After this Oct. 22 event, anyone who has unwanted or expired prescript[tion drugs that the need to dispose of can turn them into the Parkersburg Police Department at City Hall of to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office in Allison.

Both will receive 18 football bucks. Second place was Clarksville’s Cheryl Reiher, who also had a perfect score but was three points off on the tiebreaker.

The games, entry form, sponsors ads and official rules are inside each issue during the contest.

Falcon Flag Football The Falcon Flag Football league wrapped up its season last week with a series of games under the lights at Ed Thomas Field. Teams competed on Saturday mornings before finishing with the games on the field at the high school. (Courtesy photos)

From the Falcons Desk

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. AITC Coordinator Sue Cook who works with the Ag in the Classroom activities in both Bremer and Floyd Counties is pictured above helping run the Sheep Strike activity

Farm Bureau takes part in MBS open house The Butler County Farm Bureau along with 12 other Ag Business vendors had the opportunity to display Agriculture and teach those that attended the MBS Family Farms open house on Sept. 7 about how agriculture has changed in the past 40 years and what it may be in another 40 years.

The Today’s Ag, Tomorrow’s Legacy event showcased two drone demonstrations, an auto probe, grain bin system, combine and other implements, and also a kids’ corner. A meal was served from 5-7 p.m. with a short program held at 6 p.m. to get to know the MBS Family Farms and their employees.

Butler County Farm Bureau Ag in the Classroom Coordinator Ruth Seehusen along with the AITC Coordinators Sue Cook from Bremer and Floyd Counties and Jenny Sullivan from

Mitchell County held a “Minute to Win It” booth teaching all that attended the open house about eggs, sheep, and pigs. Those that stopped at the booth whether young or not so young got the opportunity to play sheep strike, egg toss, or a pig puzzle activity to learn about the commodities. If they finished their activity in a minute or less they received a prize and Ag Facts information.

Butler County Farm Bureau board members were also there in the booth to greet Farm Bureau members and assist with any questions people might have for them. A drawing was held at the end of the evening where one Butler County Farm Bureau won a gift certificate to be used at the Perrin Inn Bed and Breakfast in Greene. Brent Janssen from Allison was the lucky winner of that drawing.

A-P Football, volleyball players read to elementary students

By MADISON OLDENBURGER and SILAS BARRETT On Sept. 30 several of the Aplington-Parkersburg High School football and volleyball players went and read to the elementary students in Parkersburg. Students who participated were Sam Thorn, Grady Brungard, Everett Eggleston, Hunter Maitland, Chase Kling, Dani Johnson and Clara Petersen. These students read to Mrs. Ryan third-grade class, Mrs. Nevenhoven’s kaleidoscope class, Mrs. Koenen’s kindergarten class, Mrs. Vander Holt’s kindergarten class, and Mrs. Simon’s

fourth-grade class. This was a great way to end the week. 3rd grade teacher, Mrs.Tingle said, “The kids love having them come down. It is like having a celebrity come to visit. I’m not sure the high schoolers realize how important those few minutes are to the elementary students. It is also helps to show that reading isn’t just something the teacher says should be important, but the high school kids show (and talk about) how important it is too.

The more people they can hear that from the better!”

An Uplifting Moment Rev. Dave Claassen

Don’t wind up winding down Before batteries made toys work there were wind-up toys. Though rare, they still exist. My favorite is the balsa wood airplane with the wind-up rubber band powered propeller. The downside is that after every flight you have to wind it up again for another flight.

Life is like a wind-up toy in that most things, over time, wind down. We start something with great enthusiasm and energy, but before long that energy and enthusiasm winds down. I’ve seen it happen in various areas of life.

I’ve had many a person report to me their enthusiasm for a new job and how much better it was than where they previously worked. In no time at all, however, I find myself listening as they lament about all of the problems at work and how they are, again, seeking a different and better place of employment.

I recall folks who started to attend the church I pastored and were so excited at having found such a wonderful place to call their new church home. They’d contrast how great our church was to the church they had come from. Soon, however, they were coming to me with complaints about our church and not long thereafter were gone, presumably in a search for a new and better church.

I recall seeing a middle-aged couple holding hands as they walked. I thought to myself that this was truly wonderful, a couple that were the age that you’d assume that they had been married for years and yet were still treating each other in such an endearing way. I was so bold as to ask them how many years they had been married. They were middle-aged newlyweds!

I wasn’t surprised; many older couples, married for many years, treat each other with little respect, expressing impatience and annoyance with each other.

People can get excited about finding God, talking of the joy of experiencing His forgiveness, describing the meaning that comes to life from putting Him first, and the peace that He brings. But in a few years, or maybe even a few months, that fresh love for the Lord can seem to dissipate and they are back to being much their old selves.

The reality is that almost every aspect of life, left to itself and given little attention and effort, will wind down. The key is to be intentional about keeping things great and even growing. It’s not too late! The balsa toy plane will fly again if I just put forth the effort to wind up the limp rubber band motor! Those areas of our lives that have wound down can wind up being something better again, if we decide to do something about it!

“You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first...” (Jesus to the Christians at Ephesus in Revelation 2:3-5a) Have a great rest of the week!

BY SHANNON RIES

“Welcome.” This is the first word you see when you get a bulletin on Sundays at our church. And, if I can brag a little, our church and the people there do a very good job of expressing the welcoming feel to all who come by in the morning. It is the first step towards introducing someone to God - make them feel welcome.

Last week, we were in Iowa seeing my mom and many knew that we would be leaving right after church. When we got back, so many were asking about her and how her knee was doing now. They asked all about our trip and said that they had missed us while we were gone. So many of our homeless friends showed so much concern. It was a special feeling which this brought - a feeling of being welcomed back and genuine concern what and who is important to us. Even being back tutoring at the school again today, some of the teachers and kids were also asking how our trip went and how my mom was.

We need to do our best at sharing God’s welcoming love with others. What a priviledge it is that He cares so deeply for each one of us. For those of us who have chosen to give our lives to Him and enter into a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ, one day He will be there with open arms to welcome us home to paradise where we will dwell with Him forever and ever.

What a day that will be!!!! God will say, Welcome home.” I hope and pray that each one of you reading this will accept His invitation as well.

CMB spoils Falcon home finale

(John Jensen/Eclipse News-Review photo) Hartford defeated Linn-Mar 25-14, 21-25, 15-8 Union 3, Dike-New Hartford 2 LAPORTE CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A senior-dominated Union team scored the final four points in the deciding set to edge DikeNew Hartford 3-2 in a back-and-forth match in LaPorte City Tuesday.

The victory clinches a share of the North Iowa Cedar League East Division title for the Knights (7-0 in Division play) with one league match left.

Dike-New Hartford drops to 6-1 in conference matches.

Dike-New Hartford won the opening set 25-17 after trailing early. The Knights came back to win the second and third sets before the Wolverines opened the fourth set on a 7-0 run and never trailed while forcing a deciding set. Union led 8-6 before D-NH tied it on back to back plays by Morgan Weber. The Wolverines took a 12-11 lead, forcing Union to call a timeout. The Knights tied it on a kill and scored the

next two points on a block and a kill before winning it when officials called the Wolverines for their first-and-only lift violation of the match.

Weber paced the Wolverines with 15 kills while B. Petersen had 13 kills.

Rickert recorded a team-high four aces and Haleigh Durnin had four blocks in the match.

PARKERSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Collins-Maxwell-Baxter rolled up more than 400 yards of total offense while sending Aplington-Parkersburg to its fourth straight loss, 46-21 Friday.

The Raiders (3-4 overall, 3-2 in Class 2A, District 6) needed Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory to keep their fading playoff hopes alive. They have games remaining against district-leading Dike-New Hartford and South Hardin.

Aplington-Parkersburg moved the ball on offense, finishing with 311 yards, including 198 on the ground.

Sam Thorn led the Falcon rushing attach with 78 yards while Chase Kling had 74 and Riley Barrett 47.

Sophomore quarterback Carter Cuvelier completed 6-of-10 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for a score.

The Falcon defense had no answer for CMBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balanced attack. Running back Blake Coughenour ran for 189 yards and two scores while quarterbacks Braydon Aker and Hunter McWhirter combined to throw for 127 yards and run for 85.

A-P scored first as Barrett caught a 24-yard scoring pass from Cuvelier.

Jacob Abbasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kick gave the Falcons a 7-0 lead. CMB pulled within one at the end of the first quarter, though its conversion run failed. It took the lead for good with three second-quarter touchdowns and carried a 26-7 lead into the locker room.

The Raider lead grew to 33-7 before AP showed some life. Cuvelier capped a long scoring drive with an eight-yard scramble to the end zone and then the Falcons recovered an onside kick, leading to a one-yard Thorn scoring run. Cuvelierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conversion pass to Kling made it a 33-21 game with plenty of time for the Falcons to complete the comeback.

CMB thwarted the comeback, however, when it scored on its next two possessions.

The loss completes a winless home season for A-P for the first time since 1969. The Falcons play their final two games of the season on the road, Friday at East Marshall and the final Friday of the season at Saydel.

DIKE — Dike-New Hartford took control of the Class 2A, District 3 title race Friday with a 42-3 victory over Roland-Story.

The Wolverines (5-2 overall, 5-0 in District 3) trailed early before scoring the final 42 points against an opponent that had won five straight games prior to Friday, its last three by an average of 35 points.

D-NH got it done with its most balanced offensive effort of the season.

While senior tailback Trent Johnson ran for 201 yards and three touchdowns, sophomore quarterback Cade Fuller had 207 yards of total offense, 144 through the air and 63 on the ground, and also accounted for three scores.

The Wolverine defense also stepped up, holding the Norsemen to 134 yards of total offense, including just 55 yards on the ground. Nick Durnin led the defense with eight tackles, including two for lost yardage and a fumble recovery, while Jake Landphair recorded five stops.

Roland-Story got on the scoreboard first with a 34-yard field goal. The Wolverines countered quickly, finding the end zone on a 50-yard Fuller run that gave D-NH a lead it would hold the rest of the night. Johnson’s oneyard scoring run gave the Wolverines a 14-3 advantage after a quarter.

Clayton Mapel and Nick Durnin caught scoring passes in the second quarter as D-NH built its lead to 28-3 and Johnson scored a pair of second-half touchdowns for the winners.

The victory gives D-NH a one-game lead over Roland-Story in the District

3 standings with two games to play.

A Wolverine victory Friday at Collins-Maxwell-Baxter (CMB) would clinch the district title.
