Lions serve nearly 200 at an omelet breakfast Oct. 8 Allison Lions prepared and served an omelet breakfast to nearly 200 people in conjunction with the Harvest Moon Festival and 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, Oct. 8 at Wilder Park. Lion Dr. George North said this year’s attendance was either a record or a near-record. “It was a beautiful day,” said Lori Poulos of Hampton, who participated in the 5-kilometer course, which started and returned to the park. “No wind, warm sun, beautiful scenery.”

Melinda Sanchez, of Hampton, who works in Allison, complimented the nice, flat course. “Campers, runners and walkers have been complimentary of the park and the Lions Club,” Lion Dana Uhlenhopp said. Contributing some attendance was an Airstream (“silver bullet” recreational vehicle) convention, which was under way at the campground. Other Lions assisting were: Jeff and Leona Shima, Brent and Dawn Jannsen, Randy Schrage, Linda Ran-

dall and Duane Feltz. Proceeds from the breakfast will support local scholarships, Kidsight Eye Screening program for ALL preschool children and the State Lions Foundation for the Leader Dog Program for the Blind and hearing programs for the deaf. Jan and Tam’s Baked Goods and Snacks, based in Bristow, were invited to set up outside the breakfast. Tammy Brocka and Jan Bangs run the baked goods stand.

City to seek half-million grant for relining project Mira Schmitt-Cash Editor

Allison City Council decided to tap the brakes one more time on its about-$2 million sewer relining project, putting bidding on hold for perhaps six more months, in order to seek a halfmillion dollar grant. Brian Schoon of Iowa Northland Regional Council of Governments made the case Monday, Oct. 10, for the city of Allison applying for a grant for phase one of its sewer project only, which is the relining and manhole portion. Iowa Economic Development is now giving scoring criteria for its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), so the process is becoming more objective than in the past, Schoon said.

The proposed phase one of the sewer project includes cleaning, televising and cured-in-place-pipe lining of existing sanitary sewer pipes throughout the wastewater collection system; repair and relining of existing manholes; and constructing several manholes at new locations in order to access existing sanitary sewer pipes. Since the city already has its intended use plan (IUP) first draft and facility plan approval for this phase one project, it is in position to meet those two requirement check-boxes on the grant, which puts it in a better position than it was last year. It also has the construction project approved and was poised for a public hearing. Last year, the city was denied the CDBG grant for its sewer plant though

it did make use of the last LMI survey data, as it received CDBG funding for housing rehabilitation. The city will have to complete another low to moderate income (LMI) survey, as the surveys are only valid for three years. Based on U.S. Census data from the American Community Survey, just 50.56 percent of Allison residents are considered low to moderate income. Any city with 51 percent LMI automatically qualifies to apply for CDBG, but cities may not round the percentage up; rather, if falling short, they must complete an LMI survey. If Allison applies for the grant for sewer relining, it will put the project on hold about six months, until potentially next summer. Bidding on the project, CITY to page 2

AMVETS Auxiliary issues monument donation challenge Land donated; Over $33,000 needed before grant to kick in

Fundraising to complete the All Veterans Memorial monument, at a site in Allison, to honor “All Those Who Served” is 64 percent to goal. A grand total of $96,677 has been raised toward the $150,000 goal. The Allison AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary Post 88, including Auxiliary President Deb Hummel, Secretary Greta Cordes, and Treasurer Karen Alberts, has donated $1,000 toward the monument. With fundraising on the home stretch, the AMVETS Auxiliary Post 88 is now extending a donation challenge to businesses, civic organizations, veteran’s groups, and other related groups located in Allison, Butler County and neighboring counties to match the Allison AMVETS Auxiliary’s $1,000 gift toward the All Veterans Monument/Memorial. At least $33,323 more is needed for a $20,000 matching grant from the Guernsey Foundation of Black Hawk County to kick in, which will then take the project the final stretch, from $130,000 to $150,000. The title to the site for the All Veterans Memorial was transferred ceremonially on Wednesday, Oct. 5, for land at the southeast corner of Main and Sixth in Allison, just south of the Butler County Courthouse. The site was assessed at $3,600. The Shepard Family, owners of The Butler County Abstract Company, represented by President Gene Shepard, formerly of the Allison area, donated the land. Help the committee reach its goal

of $150,000 and make this monument possible! DONATIONS RECEIVED TO DATE: INDIVIDUALS/GROUPS: Funds received from individuals for Veteran’s Name to be Engraved (316 names at $100 each – early bird price): $31,600 (There will be room on the Monument for 880 names); Funds received from individuals as Donations for Veteran Names: $2,900; Donations toward the Monument from Private Individuals: $6,380 (A special thank-you to all the individuals, too numerous to be named); Donations from Businesses/Civic, Veteran and Church Groups: • $100-$999 DONATIONS: Allison Garden Buddies $100; Joe’s Heating & Cooling & Plumbing $100; Langfritz Seed $100; Linn County REC $100; The Cooler/Shell Rock $100; Knights of Columbus of Greene $300; Butler Co.

The Shell Rock Emergency Services Building will hold an open house on Sunday, Oct. 23, from 12 p.m.-2 p.m. (Clarksville Star photo)

Open house set for Shell Rock Emergency Services Building The Shell Rock Emergency Services Building Committee along with the First Responders and Fire Department announce the open house for the new Emergency Services Building which will be held at the site of the new building, 513 North Cherry, on Sunday, Oct. 23 from 12 p.m.-2 p.m. A light meal of walking tacos, water, apple cider and finger desserts will be provided at the open house, with a short

ribbon cutting and program at 1 p.m. The first responders will have a car seat inspection station available during the Open House where there will be technicians who can check to make sure car seats are installed correctly and teach those responsible for young children how to use and install a car seat on their own. The groups held various fundraising events throughout 2014 and 2015,

and construction began in fall of 2015. Now, the community has the chance to see the new building, which offers space for trainings and meetings, a kitchen, and bathrooms with showers. The building will serve as the space for both the fire department and the first responders, as well as serve as an emergency shelter space in the event of a natural disaster in Shell Rock and surrounding communities.

CITY from page 1 which was slated for late 2016, will be pushed back. This would mean the city wouldn’t have data on how much flow reduction there will be to its lagoon as a consequence of the relining project until 2019, Project Engineer Lee Gallentine with Ryken Engineering said. “If you stop your project you would have to do the LMI survey right now,” Schoon said. In either case, Gallentine said the city would likely have to ask the Department of Natural Resources for a deadline extension for its sanitary sewer project. He said the DNR wants to see if relining will reduce flow to sewers in other communities and has been granting extensions. The odds of getting the CDBG grant are about a 1-of-2 ratio.

The lining project is over a $2 million project, Mayor Scot Henrichs pointed out. The city may seek up to half a million dollars from CDBG for the relining project. Councilman Jim Blockhus moved to stop the public hearing for bidding and apply for an LMI survey toward a CDBG grant up to half a million dollars for the phase one sanitary sewer relining project. The motion was seconded and carried. Schoon told Gallentine that approval letters for the State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan for the relining project would help with the grant. In the SRF process, the relining project just passed the waiting period on its environmental review exemption. Schoon said he was happy to see city elected officials applying for the

CDBG now that the project had been broken down into manageable portions and had checked more boxes and so was in a better position to receive funding. “We didn’t expect you’d be willing to tap on the brakes one more time,” Schoon said. Gallentine told Schoon, “Thanks for coming this month and not in November” after what would have been the bid letting. • FARM-TO-MARKET: Engineer Lee Gallentine is hoping to send letters to send to landowners within the next month about easements needed before replacing sidewalk approaches that cross the farm-to-market route (Main Street) with ADA-compliant ramps and bumps, as federally required. Temporary easements for a few feet next to the sidewalk are needed. City Council ver-

No external damage from a Friday, Sept. 29 grain fire at the ethanol plant, Flint Hills Resources, was visible from Vail Avenue on Sunday, Oct. 2. (Clarksville Star photo)

Long battle with grain fire entering dust collector at ethanol plant Shell Rock Fire Department was called to a grain fire at the ethanol plant, Flint Hills Resources, on Friday, Sept. 30. The call went out at 6:44 p.m., Shell Rock Fire Chief Matt Mohn said. Shell Rock First Responders and Clarksville Fire and Ambulance assisted at the scene.

bally agreed for the city to pay $25 “per property owner,” City Clerk Glenda Miller said, as the Department of Transportation recommended an amount be set. Landowners will be given a statement of property owner’s rights, which one person will need to sign, list others in the household, and have it notarized. There are notaries at city hall and the courthouse. The city clerk is drafting a letter promoting sewer service line televising with a camera so lines in critical need can be replaced. Sewer service line televising is something the council hopes to encourage property owners to do ahead of the Main Street/farm-tomarket road replacement. Three quotes to this end were collected. Johnson Plumbing of Parkersburg had the apparent low quote and was not known to charge an hourly rate in addition.

The fire originated in one of the hammer mills and spread to the dust collection system. Shell Rock responders remained on scene until 12:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, nearly six hours. “The fire was contained quickly in the mill, but the dust collector was hard to access, which is what took so long,” Mohn said.

Clarksville Fire was on scene three hours, Clarksville Fire Chief Jon Myers said, and that Clarksville Ambulance was on scene two hours to provide rehabilitation to the firefighters. No external damage was visible from Vail Avenue on Sunday, Oct. 2.

LOOKING GOOD: The Integrity Site Maintenance L.L.C. building looks good from the outide, pictured last week, but it still won’t open for awhile yet. As of late September, Owner Roxie Nicolaus hoped for the building, which will retail hog site maintenance supplies, to be open in two months, so late November. A forgivable loan for this building/infrastructure improvements using tax increment funds was approved Sept. 19 by Allison City Council. (Tribune-Journal photo)

Yard and Garden—

Handling Spring-flowering bulbs during Fall

Fall has arrived in Iowa, but it’s never too early to start thinking about spring flowers. Now is the time to act and prepare for spring-flowering bulbs, be it inside or outside, this fall and winter. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help answer your questions about springflowering bulbs and how to make the most of them this winter. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu. How do I plant spring-flowering bulbs outdoors? Tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocuses and other spring-flowering bulbs should be planted in early fall (late September to early November. Most spring-flowering bulbs perform best in areas that receive at least 6 hours of direct sun per day. However, snowdrops, snowflakes, and Siberian squill can be successfully grown in partial shade (two to four hours of direct sun). Bulbs also need a well-drained, fertile soil. Poorly-drained soils often can be improved by incorporating organic matter, such as compost or sphagnum peat moss. Plant spring-flowering bulbs in clusters or groups to achieve the greatest visual impact in the garden. When planting tulips and daffodils, plant 10 or more bulbs of the same cultivar in an area. Smaller growing plants, such as grape hyacinths and crocuses, should be planted in clusters of 25 or more bulbs. Plant bulbs at a depth equal to three to four times their maximum bulb diameter. Accordingly, tulips and daffodils should be planted 6 to 8 inches deep, crocuses and grape hyacinths only 3 to 4 inches deep. Large bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils, should be spaced 4 to 6 inches apart. A 3-inchspacing is adequate for crocuses, grape hyacinths and other small bulbs. After planting, water the bulbs (if the weather in fall is dry) to promote good root development before the onset of winter.

How do I force spring-flowering bulbs indoors? To enjoy tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and crocuses indoors during the winter months, the forcing process must begin in early fall. Gardeners need good quality bulbs, a well-drained potting mix and containers with drainage holes in the bottom. Begin by partially filling the container (pot) with potting soil. Then place the bulbs on the soil surface. Adjust the soil level until the tops of the bulbs are even with or slightly below the rim of the container. The number of bulbs to plant per pot depends on the size of the bulb and container. Generally, three hyacinths, three to five daffodils, five to seven tulips, and 10 to 12 crocuses can be planted in a 6-inch-diameter pot. After arranging the bulbs in the pot, place additional potting soil around the bulbs. However, don’t cover the bulbs completely. Allow the tops (noses) of the bulbs to

stick above the potting soil. The level of the potting mix should be ½ to 1 inch below the rim of the container. After potting, water each container thoroughly. In order to bloom, spring-flowering bulbs must be exposed to temperatures

of 40 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 16 weeks. Possible storage sites include the refrigerator, root cellar or an outdoor trench. When using the refrigerator for cold storage, place the potted bulbs in a plastic bag if the refrigerator contains apples or other ripening fruit. Ripening fruit give off ethylene gas that may impair flower development. During cold storage, water the bulbs regularly and keep them in complete darkness. Once the cold requirement has been met, begin to remove the potted bulbs from cold storage. Place the bulbs in a cool (50 to 60 F) location that receives low to medium light. When the bulbs begin to grow, move the plants to a slightly warmer area that receives bright light. Keep the potting soil evenly moist during the forcing period. Flowering should occur in three to four weeks. For a succession of bloom, remove pots from cold storage at 10 to 14 day intervals.

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.” Currently serves on Board of Directors for Butler County Mutual Insurance for 6 years. Member of Iowa State University Extension Council for 6 years.

to redirect any particular topic at hand towards Donald Trump’s many flaws. From a pure optics standpoint, it’s clear that Pence came out looking the better of the two. Pence interrupted less frequently and spoke with far more composure and grace than his opponent. His background as a radio host served him well as he offered a calm and polished alternative to Kaine’s manic performance. Particularly since Pence was operating under a handicap. While Kaine had Clinton’s extensive expertise to draw from, Pence had the near impossible task of extrapolating a coherent policy out of Trump’s inflammatory and often contradictory statements. Instead of offering a clear and concise answer, Pence relied on his skills as an orator to filibuster his way out of tough questions with meaningless platitudes. Well, that and the utter denial of objective reality. Both men cherry picked facts to their liking, as is expected of politicians, but Pence’s gift for poise make even the most outlandish statements

seem reasonable and he pushed that gift as far as it would take him. But there was one assertion from Pence that no amount of smooth talking could make believable. That was the notion that it was Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, running the “insult driven campaign” in this race. Pence said it with such authority that I’m not sure he’s met his own running mate. This is, after all, a man who made giving his opponents derogatory nicknames a cornerstone of his campaign. Personal attacks aren’t simply a reality of the Trump campaign. They’re an ever present component. In fact, if Pence had access to his phone during the debate, he would have seen Trump tweeting out insults live. As for attack ads, it is true that the Clinton campaign has put out some devastating material. I’m not entirely sure you can call them “attacks” or “insults” though. Yes, there are insults present in the ads, but that’s because the Clinton campaign has taken the strategy of compiling the

terrible things Trump says on a regular basis and presents them verbatim. If judging purely on the basis of being likable and convincing voters to be okay with having you a heartbeat away from the presidency, there’s no doubt Kaine lost. However, that didn’t appear to be his primary goal. Instead, Kaine’s objective seemed to be to put Pence on the defensive as often as possible. Within twelve hours, the Clinton campaign released another “attack ad” composed of Pence denying that Donald Trump has said terrible things, immediately followed by the video proof. I can’t say I approve of such a strategy. I would have liked to see what these two had to say about themselves, rather than each other’s running mates. That said, it will probably be effective. By the time this column sees print, we’ll already be back to focusing on the main candidates. Few will remember Kaine’s hyperactive debate performance, but the clip of Pence denying that Donald Trump didn’t know Russia had invaded the Ukraine will go on forever. Travis Fischer is a news writer for Mid-America Publishing and still wishes Hillary would have picked Bernie Sanders as VP.

Member of Butler County Snowsnoops.

Vote on November 8 for a man who is well liked, devotes his time to public service, is honest, and believes in balanced budgets. Paid for by Ackerman for District 1 Supervisor.

This year’s Presidential election race has introduced a lot of interesting characters to the political scene, but up until last week there have been a couple of conspicuous absences. Senator Tim Kaine and Governor Mike Pence have spent the bulk of this campaign standing in the shadows of their running mates, all but absent from the campaign trail. It’s an odd shift from previous years. Joe Biden continuously made his presence known as Barack Obama’s right hand in 2008 and 2012. Paul Ryan was a high profile GOP congressman before he campaigned with Mitt Romney and as Speaker of the House is now closer to the presidency than Romney ever got. And Sarah Palin, one could argue, all but overshadowed John McCain after he pulled her from obscurity. Yet last week’s debate was the first time for many to be exposed to the two men looking to be the vice-president this time around. As far as introductions go, Kaine could have done better and Pence could have done worse. If you were keeping score at home, Kaine was factually correct more often than not, and in general offered greater detail on the policies of his running mate. But these traits were overshadowed by his frequent interruptions and aggressive tendency

Butler County Bible Reading Marathon to be held on Oct. 15 in Allison

The public is welcomed to participate in the Iowa 99 County Bible Reading Marathon — a continuous reading of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation — to be held on the Butler County Courthouse grounds in Allison on Saturday, Oct. 15 beginning at 9 a.m. This event came about as an official proclamation signed by Gov. Terry Branstad that the entire Bible should be read aloud in front of all 99 courthouses in Iowa. Butler County is one of the last counties in the state to respond to this request by the governor. Janna Voss, the Butler County chairperson for the Bible Reading Marathon, thanked the Butler County Board of Supervisors for granting permission to gather on the courthouse grounds. “We cherish the Word of God and our First Amendment freedoms that allow this to be possible,” Voss said. “We hope you will plan to be part of this very historic event.” It takes approximately 90 hours to read through the entire Bible. The plan for Butler County is to have as many groups of two or three as possible reading simultaneously all over the grounds so that all Scripture will have been read by noon. Those interested in participating sumption for the Blessed Virgin Mary. Saturday, October 15: 4:30 p.m. Reconciliation; 5:15 p.m. Mass/ Children’s Liturgy/Peanut Butter Collection.

I’D LIKE to thank Clarksville Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation for the wonderful care given to Don while he was there. He enjoyed his stay; it was the next best thing to being home. He was given the best care and great food; he especially liked the soft serve ice cream. Many of you had a special place in his heart, and for that, I thank you! He was also comforted by his best dog friend, Duke. Many days, Duke would sit on his lap or lie in bed with him. He’d always say, “I babysat Duke today!” I witnessed first-hand the Monday residents returned to Clarksville because of the flood. The administrator was outside greeting them with a hug! Now that is truly compassion! I also want to thank Cedar Valley Hospice. They did an amazing job making Don comfortable and meeting his needs. We appreciate everyone’s love and support.

Quick start leads to West Fork rout of North Butler Kristi Nixon

SHEFFIELD – West Fork wanted to get out fast against North Butler in its homecoming football game. It couldn’t have asked for a better start against a team that had just lost its starting quarterback and center in a makeup game four days previous. “Our goal the entire week was to start fast,” West Fork coach Eric Gabe said. “I know they (North Butler) are pretty beat up. I told our kids we were there last year. I’m really proud of our seniors and I’m really proud of our entire program and community and everything just coming together and playing for one another. “I’m really excited for all of those things. We haven’t changed from the Lake Mills loss...we’ve just believed in each other and kept playing and kept coming to practice and playing hard even when we were 0-5.” The Warhawks scored on five of their seven first-half possessions on their way to a 38-0 halftime lead that ended in a 52-2 final on Friday, Oct. 7. Running back Cole Hall and quarterback Jarel Arbegast each rushed for more than 100 yards with Hall reaching the end zone three times and Arbegast twice in the Warhawk win. Each time North Butler had the ball, it seemed to lose yardage, helping give West Fork excellent field position along the way. In fact, the Bearcats were negative-8 yards rushing and finished with 24 total yards of offense with 32 passing yards. “I don’t think they’re a 50-point better team than us, plain and simple,” North Butler coach Travis Miller said. “I

don’t think our guys played to our potential tonight whether we are missing a couple of guys or not. We just didn’t play as a team, and unfortunately, that lets this happen. I think our guys are much better than that. We clean stuff up and hope we play better next week.” Now that the Warhawks are 2-5 and made a strong showing against topranked St. Ansgar, Gabe said his team is more confident. “I don’t think you can win a football game without having confidence and without going out there and believing in yourself and that you have a chance to win the game when you walk onto the field,” Gabe said, “and I feel like over the last few games where we kind of went out onto the field feeling like, ‘I don’t know if we’re going to win or not, let’s see what happens’ and we started slow and we got beat. “This group of seniors is not allowing us to do that. They’re really taking control and taking charge and we’re playing good football right now.” Not only was the ground game going for West Fork, it also got a big 65-yard touchdown strike from Lukas Wogen to Rylan Fleshner that extended its lead to 22-0 early in the second quarter. A North Butler fumble a few plays later led to another quick score. By the time the third quarter had expired, the Warhawks even got a rushing touchdown from a regular starting lineman, Alex Bender. The Bearcats avoided the shutout in the fourth quarter when Kyle Rooney was tackled in the end zone on a bad snap for a safety with 5 minutes to go. “It’s good that we avoided the shutout,” Miller said, “but it doesn’t make the night feel any better for me.”

West Fork now has a chance to win its third straight against 0-7 Rockford. “I know Rockford has struggled a little bit,” Gabe said, “but they’re a dangerous team with that Bushbaum kid at quarterback and a receiver with 200-some yards or whatever, they can throw it around and it’s going to be a track meet. We’re excited to play another week of football together.” Meanwhile, North Butler needs to clean up a lot in facing a Grundy Center team that is 3-3 overall, 3-2 in the district. “(It) starts up front with the offensive line, we had to do a lot of re-shuffling, we have some guys who are in positions who have never played before and unfortunately, one of those is the center position,” Miller said. “That definitely makes things tough, we’ve got to clean up how we block. Our routes have to be crisper. We had some things happen at the end which were good, so we’ll build on that and work for another day.” West Fork 52 North Butler 2 North Butler 0 0 0 2 - 2 West Fork 8 30 14 0 - 52 First WF – 4:34 Cole Hall 3 run (Hall run).

LAKE MILLS – North Butler’s boys’ cross country team finished runner-up at the Lake Mills cross country invitational on Monday, Oct. 3. The Bearcats were second only to Forest City 20-55. Dylan Clipperton was the first runner for coach Kirk Clark’s team across the finish line, taking 20th in 20:04.9. “It was very important to get back and continue this season,” Clark said after the flooding and tornado that hit Greene a few weeks ago. “In doing so, I was very impressed with how hard the kids pushed themselves and ran at this meet. Prior to this meet, they also had some great days of practice. “I am proud of all the efforts of this team both during the flood and how they came back ready to work when it was time to run again.” Included in team scoring for the Bearcats were Tate Menne (22), Levi Lubben (24), Brett Marshall (25) and Devon Huberg (32). “Dylan had a great run and looked good running to his 10th place finish,” Clark said. “Dylan is really coming into form in the last part of the season.

I am excited to see what he can get done in the next couple of weeks in the conference meet and the regional meet.” The North Butler girls didn’t have enough runners to field a team, but the top finish came from Kaylie Fox in 25:51.7.

JACKSON JUNCTION – Tate Menne crossed the finish line in 20 minutes, 24.2 seconds for 40th place to lead North Butler’s boys’ cross country team to a 10th-place team finish out of 12 at the New Hampton Invite on Thursday, Oct. 6. The meet, because of wet grounds, was run in Jackson Junction, according to coach Kirk Clark. The Bearcats scored 237 team points for their finish as Crestwood won the team title with 47. “It was a long road trip again for the Bearcats,” Clark said. “In the end, there were a lot of good efforts and several competed very well.” Clark’s girls’ team was 11th out of 11 complete teams, scoring 334 team points. Class 2A No. 6 Osage won it with 47. The top finisher among the girls was Kaylie Fox, who finished in 26:14.3. “At the JV level for the boys, it was an exciting race,” Clark said. “Colton Foster and Trevor Brinkman were definitely focused and pushed themselves to ribbon-winning performance. These two looked great on the night running for the Bearcats. It was

a fun race to watch.”

Bearcats overcome Rockford at the net

ROCKFORD – North Butler fought off an opening set loss to reel off the next three to defeat Rockford on the road on Tuesday, Oct. 4. Emy Osterbuhr collected a careerhigh 15 kills in the 19-25, 25-13, 2521, 25-15 Top of Iowa Conference victory. “Rockford is a very scrappy team that kept us on our toes all night,” North Butler coach Bryan Tabbert said. “We struggled at covering their tips and pushes in the first set, but were able to cover better the rest of the night. “We had some moments where we lacked intensity tonight, especially in the first and third sets, but I credit the girls for coming back. Dropping the first set can really mess with a team’s chemistry and attitude, but the girls stepped up after being challenged by the coaches.” Madi Pleas also distributed a career best 13 assists and Taylor Salge added 10 for the team’s 38 kills against the Warriors. “Emy Osterbuhr played great at the net tonight,” Tabbert said. “Our setters did a nice job of recognizing the hot hand for the night, but still spreading the ball around. “One of the best things about this

year’s team is the balance we have and the ability for any of our hitters to have a big night. The girls are excited about reaching the goals they’ve set for themselves and building the North Butler volleyball program.” North Butler 19-25-25-25 Rockford 25-13-21-15 Kills – NB (Emy Osterbuhr 15, Darby Christensen 7, Kayla Siemens 6, Nicole Heeren 3, Hallie Testroet 3, Makayla Hauser 2, Taylor Salge, Madi Pleas); Rock (Skylar Schmitt 10, Mackenzie Rooney 5, Marissa Norby 2, Theresa Jones, Morgan Thieman).

Runners of the Week By MaTina Clark NBXC Assistant Coach

Tayte Anderson - Junior

*We will be featuring one or more members of the North Butler Cross Country (NBXC) team weekly throughout the season. We have an outstanding group of athletes, and we want to share their talents and successes with the North Butler Community.

Karly Nederhoff - Junior

Tayte Anderson is a long-time member of the NBXC team. Over the years, Tayte has developed a good running form and has continued to improve his time in the 5K race. Last season, Tayte’s best time was 27 minutes, 10 seconds at the Lake Mills Invitational. Tayte’s best run of this season so far was 24:30 at the Osage Invitational. Tayte has really impressed his coaches this season. He has a great attitude and has become a leader on his team. We appreciate his hard work and dedication to improving himself as an athlete. Tayte also participates in 5K runs outside of cross country, which is another way he shows his dedication to his sport. We look forward to Tayte’s final season next year in NBXC – we know he will do great things!

Karly Nederhoff is a newcomer to the sport of cross country. She has enjoyed running on her own for several years, and decided to take a chance with NBXC. Karly suffered an ankle sprain early in the season, but she has worked hard since then to get her time down. Her best run of the season was 28:57 at the New Hampton Invitational. Karly is a great asset to the girls’ squad. She leads by example in that she gives one hundred percent, every day. She relates well with all of her teammates and does a great job of encouraging everyone to do their best. We are excited to have Karly on the NBXC team and we look forward to seeing her improve even more next year!

Devon Huberg - Junior

Thomas Anderson is in his second year of NBXC. He had a great first season last year, and came on strong right from the start this year. His best time last year was 20:09 at the Regional meet in Cedar Falls. This year, his best run was 20:31 at the Charles City Invitational. Thomas is a consistent runner, being part of the varsity squad for most of the past two seasons. He has recently developed a drive to excel in this sport. Thomas works hard every single day and his hard work has definitely paid off. Thomas is working his way up the ranks among the varsity squad, and he is determined to do the best he can for his team. We have high hopes for Thomas during the next two years, and we are excited to see what he will accomplish!

Devon Huberg is a first-year member of NBXC. Although he is new to the sport of cross country, he has found his groove and has become a contributing member of the team. Devon’s best time so far was 20:32 at the Lake Mills Invitational. Devon has consistently improved his distance running form, his race pace, and his consistency as a runner throughout the season. Devon earned a spot on the varsity squad at the New Hampton Invitational last week. He proved that he is worthy of being among our team’s best runners. We are happy to have Devon on the NBXC team, and we look forward to seeing what he will do during his senior year!

Lucas Martzahn – Seventh Grader

Lucas Martzahn is in his first year of NBXC. He has been working hard throughout the season and has recently begun finding his stride. He has continued to improve his times with each race. We have been continually impressed with Lucas — he has both a great work ethic and a great attitude about the sport. That has helped him be successful as a runner. He has also shown some leadership skills among the junior high teammates. We are excited to see what Lucas will accomplish in the future with NBXC!

Jeremy Shier is in his second year of NBXC. He had a good seventh grade year, and came into this season with the knowledge needed to improve himself as a runner. Jeremy has had several great runs throughout the season. Jeremy has emerged as a leader among the junior high team. He encourages his teammates to do their best, and sets an example by working hard in practice and in the meets. We are pleased with Jeremy’s progress over the last two years, and we look forward to seeing what he will accomplish during high school!

SBA can also lend additional funds to businesses and homeowners to help with the cost of improvements to protect, prevent or minimize the same type of disaster damage from occurring in the future. For small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small busi-

nesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size, SBA offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. EIDL assistance is available regardless of whether the business suffered any property damage. LIMITS: Disaster loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are eligible for up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property.

Disaster loan information and application forms are also available from SBA’s Customer Service Cen-

ter by calling 1-800-659-2955 or emailing disastercustomerservice@ sba.gov. Individuals who are deaf or hard‑of‑hearing may call 1-800-8778339.
