Butler County woman named state’s oldest poll worker By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review ALLISON — Maureen Wagoner does not quite remember the names on the ballot when she first started volunteering as a poll worker 34 years ago. She’ll be more familiar with the names next Tuesday, as she steps into her familiar role in New Hartford. Wagoner was honored by the Butler County Auditor’s office last week as the State of Iowa’s oldest poll worker. “I would like to thank Maurine for her many years of service to Butler County,” Auditor Lizbeth Williams said. “An election could not happen without the dedication of many Precinct Election Officials like Maurine at each polling place. They are high-

ly trained and endure a 16-hour day on Election Day to ensure your vote counts while always, always protecting the integrity of the election.” Wagoner, 97, said she first started getting interested in politics while her dad, Roy Leppley, was serving as a county auditor in southwest Iowa. He was a really good thinker and everything that he thought about politics made sense to me,” Wagoner said. “He taught me a lot because I would think of things that I wanted to ask him.” One of the most important things Wagoner said her father taught her was to not necessarily worry about the party a candidate represents. “(He taught me) to go for their real thinking and what their beliefs are,”

she said. “I learned a lot from him.” Wagoner said she has never missed an election cycle since beginning the work in 1982. “I just think about it as part of every good citizen’s duty,” she said. “I think as good citizens if we are asked to do something politically that we believe in that we should do it. A lot of people just don’t really do their part.” Wagoner taught fourth grade in New Hartford for 27 years. Though she said she was rarely able to use her experience as a poll worker in the classroom with her students, it sometimes proved beneficial when she was working with parents. Polls will be open for next Tuesday’s General Election from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

Wolverine senior reaches hallowed state record By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review DIKE — And then there was one. Friday night Dike-New Hartford senior running back Trent Johnson reached territory never before seen in Iowa high school football, moving into first place on the state’s career rushing list with a single-game performance that superceded even his own previous lofty accomplishments. Johnson set school records with 424 yards and seven touchdowns Friday as D-NH downed Southeast Valley 55-29 in a first-round playoff game in Dike. The yardage moved Johnson from fifth to first on Iowa’s all-time rushing list. A 15-yard third-quarter run moved him past North Mahaska’s Levi Ferguson on Iowa’s all-time list with 7,164 career yards. “I actually think other people wanted (the record) more than I did,” Johnson said. “I just want to win. Hats off to the offensive line my sophomore, junior and senior years – I couldn’t ask for a better team.” Johnson’s road to the top of the rushing chart began innocently. He ran for just 13 yards on six carries as a freshman and did not start until a couple of games into his sophomore season. After that however … He finished that sophomore season with 2,099 yards, including a school-record 355-yard effort in a playoff game at West Branch. He bettered his sophomore mark with 2,619 yards as a junior and became just the second back in Iowa history to top 2,000 yards in a season three times during the Wolverines’ regular-season finale against East Marshall. He became just the fourth back in Iowa history with 7,000 career yards in the first half of the game against Southeast Valley. “Unbelievable,” Wolverine coach Don Betts said of Johnson. “When he showed up here as a freshman nobody thought he’d be at that point. He’s a

Dike-New Hartford tailback Trent Johnson takes the football for the run that put him alone atop all rushers in the long history of Iowa high school football. The senior surpassed previous leader Levi Ferguson with a third-quarter run and finished the game with a career-high 424 yards and seven touchdowns. (John Jensen/Eclipse News-Review photo) special player. I know I keep saying that, that he’s a a special player, but for a coach he’s a once-in-a-lifetime kid.” As good a football player as Johnson is, however, there’s another quality that the coach likes even more. “I told him when he came over and we took him out, he’s a tremendous player but he’s a better person,” Betts said. “He’s just a tremendous young man from a tremendous family and I just couldn’t be happier for him or prouder of him.” Helping Johnson’s cause the past three years have been outstanding offensive lines. Tommy Irvin was an all-state offensive lineman for the Wolverines two years ago, Ty Sohn copped the same honor last year and this year’s squad will likely have others.

Johnson said he was not aware the record was in sight until being told he was about 130 yards shy of it at halftime of Friday’s game. After he burst 73 yards on the first play of the second half and had runs of 15 and 46 yards the next two times he touched the ball it was just a matter of getting it done. “When I got close enough I actually did go up to Coach (Greg) Moore and said, ‘Can I get it here?’ I told him I want to get it at home,” Johnson admitted. “That was special.” Johnson has a chance to add to his record Friday as the Wolverines play PCM in a playoff quarterfinal in Monroe. “I love my team, I love my class and I just get to keep playing football with them – that’s what matters,” Johnson said.

FFA members make pork sandwiches to bring to local farmers in the field. The students served 125 hungry farmers.

A-P FFA feeds the hungry (farmers) By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — Aplington-Parkersburg FFA students gave new definition to feeding the hungry Tuesday, delivering 125 meals to local farmers who are quickly working to wrap up the 2016 harvest. A-P FFA Advisor Josie McQuillen said this is the second year the chapter has delivered the meals, though last year’s cold sandwich was replaced by a hot meal this year. “They get a lot of cold sandwiches during the harvest, so we thought switching to (the hot sandwich) was a good thing,” she said. Meals included pork sandwiches, a cookie and a drink along with a note thanking the farmers along with the hashtags, #AgInABag and #harvest16. “Members wanted to give back to the farmers for the hard work they do during the harvest season,” McQuillen said. “We fell they support our chapter and are making ag stronger in our chapter and it was our way of giving back to them.” Meals were delivered without cost to the farmers. Names were gathered through sign-up sheets at local grain elevators, word of mouth and promotion in The Eclipse News-Review. Anyone who contacted either McQuillen, the school or an FFA member received a meal. Meals were purchased by the FFA. McQuillen said Triple T Specialty Meats of Ackley gave the group a discount on meat for the sandwiches. FFA members then delivered meals to farmers in the Aplington, Parkersburg and Kesley areas. “This was completely done by the students,” McQuillen said. “They or-

FFA members prepare to send meals out to the farmers.

Bags are lined up to be filled with a sandwich and other goodies by Aplington-Parkersburg FFA members. ganized it, reached out to the farmers, packaged the meals and delivered them. I would commend all the students for their hard work and wanting to do this for the community members that support us.”

Parkersburg church names interim pastor By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — A Parkersburg church is under new leadership … though it is leadership for the short term only. John White was recently named interim pastor at the church, replacing Leighton Seys who took the senior pastor role at a church in Montague, Mich., nearer to his hometown. White’s role as interim pastor is to hold the church over while it searches for a permanent new pastor – a process that can take as much as a year. “In good situations interims are

called in to help keep the momentum going,” White explained. “They fill in doing all the pastoral duties, some of the administrative duties. I’m part of this denomination that Hope is, so it’s a good fit.” Interims also assist in the search for a new pastor. “We help them put a profile together, we eventually have profiles sent to us and that leads eventually to narrowing it down, inviting a few interviews and then eventually deciding on that,” White said.

The Sheriff’s Job By Al Lass

Now this Sheriff ’s job is a curious one like a housewife’s work, it’s never done. Calls come by night, and come by day. They may be near, or miles away. “Hurry right out,” says the voice of the caller, “You’re badly needed in Possum Holler. Pa’s on the rampage, he’s got a gun. Been looking for Ma since half-past one.” So we jump in our flivver and hit the trail and drive like a streamliner carryin’ the mail. Our only hope and all we can figger, is to be on hand ‘fore Pa pulls the trigger. We finally arrive and amid the confusion, we learn the affair was simple delusion. Pa with his gun was just hunting squirrels; Ma’d gone to school with the two oldest girls.

then half the county will want him paroled. They blame the depression, the new deal, the tariff, and a few put the blame on the poor old Sheriff. Sometimes there’s fireworks, and an officer gets shot while doing his duty, he’s put on the spot! Just lately a Sheriff I knew was killed by two lousy punks, with some girls to be thrilled. You can’t get excited when out on a call, ‘cause you might do the thing you shouldn’t do at all. You mustn’t get nervous or lose your head for if someone gets shot, he’s a long time dead.

So it’s quite a game, if you stay right in, you’ll get a pat on the back and a sock on Today we hunt evidence and dig up the facts the chin. tomorrow we struggle with delinquent tax. But I like it all, and I’m shedding no tears, Next day we’re hunting a mottle-faced cow, and I’d like to be elected for another four then stay up all night at some nice family years. row.

They argue around ‘til half past three, Thank you for supporting your Sheriff and then the jury goes out and fails to agree. Sheriff ’s Office. The judge sends them back ‘til their duty is done, but eight hours later, they are 11 to 1. Now that’s just a sample of what we do an endless variety of old and new. It may be a prowler, a burglar, a drunk, he may steal your billfold, your watch or your trunk. We set out to catch him and we do our best, we catch a percentage and lose the rest. We can’t catch them all, for some leave no clue, they don’t leave their cards like you and I do. Sometimes they plead guilty and the judge will scold,

Pastor from page 1 The one person who cannot be a candidate for the permanent pastorate at the church is White, whose role forbids him from taking the role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of an oath you take,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It retains the integrity of what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do. Sometimes the relationship is just fabulous but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not why you are here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you are here to help the during move to a new place.â&#x20AC;? The Pella native, currently living in Cedar Rapids, has served several churches in Iowa in the past. He planted churches in the Iowa City area and has worked in Newton. Most recently he was pastor at a church in Waupun, Wis. before returning to Iowa in September. White said he was drawn to the interim role by the challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love to meet people and get to know people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m comfortable with that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You perform a service that the church needs at the time. Sometimes it needs some healing, sometimes it needs just someone to walk alongside it.â&#x20AC;? White called the situation at Hope

Cheap Seats TEN YEARS AGO November 1, 2006 Jessica Koenen, Dion Grace, Austin Ballhagen and Ben Dunegan of Aplington-Parkersburg High School have attained the highest individual honor available to Iowa high school musicians by being selected as a member on the 2006 All-State Chorus. Austin is the daughter of Brent and Janelle Ballhagen, Jessica the daughter of Kendal and Teri Koenen, Dion the son of Renee Grant and Ben the son of Patrick and Rachel Dunegan. The choir director is Greg Wessel. The Dike-New Hartford Wolverines and Aplington-Parkersburg Falcons each will play in the first round of the state football playoffs Wednesday evening. The Wolverines, district champions with a 9-0 record, will take on Iowa City Regina (7-2) while the Falcons (8-1) will play at Montezuma. The winners of those games will meet Monday evening. A-P’s only loss this year was to Dike-New Hartford. Sandy Johnson, USDA Rural Development Multi-family housing specialist in Iowa Falls, has recognized Sharon and Doyle Schneiderman, site managers of Prairie Village Apartments in Parkersburg, as the Senior Housing Site Managers of the Year.

TWENTY YEARS AGO October 30, 1996 The 1996 General Election will be held next Tuesday, Nov. 5. The only race in Butler County is for county sheriff. Incumbent TIm Junker will run on “Nominated by Petition” party on the ballot and Bill McCollum is the Republican candidate. McCollum defeated Junker in the June primary by a 1,492 to 1,189 vote tally. The American Cancer Society “Jail and Bail” fund-raiser was held Tuesday, Oct. 22 at the Aplington CIty Hall. The goal of $2,500 for the event was eclipsed early in the day as volunteers raised $4,297.35 with additional donations still coming in. The Butler County Sesquicentennial Committee is having a dedication program at the Allison courthouse on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 1:30 p.m. At this dedication a monument will be unveiled in memory of all Butler County people who have served in the armed forces. Gregory Lunn has started his duty as police officer for the City of Parkersburg. Lunn was hired at the last meeting of the city council. He replaced Mike Neimeyer who is now police chief in Nora Springs.

THIRTY YEARS AGO October 29, 1986 Only one week remains in the once-in-a-lifetime Iowa Tax Amnesty program, according to Gerald D. Bair, Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance Director. He urged delinquent taxpayers to apply for the program before stiffer penalties go into effect. So far seven Butler County residents have paid a total of $1,412.8- in previously unreported state income taxes under the amnesty plan. The ballot is set for the 1986 General Election to be held next Tuesday, Nov. 4. Several county officials will be elected, including treasurer, recorder, attorney, supervisors and trustees and clerks in various townships. Running unopposed at the county level are Treasurer Henry Groeneveld, Recorder Craig Franken, Attorney Habbo Fokkena and District 3 Supervisor Melvin Bakker. Second District Supervisor Herb Freese, a Republican, is being opposed by Vern O. Eichelberger and Raymond Johnson, both of whom were nominated by petition. The Aplington Panthers and New Hartford Hawks, both 6-2, will play each other in first-round competition in the Class A playoffs Wednesday night at New Hartford. Both qualified for the playoffs for the first time. Aplington’s lone losses came at the hands of Parkersburg and Alden while New Hartford suffered losses to Clarksville and Tripoli.

FORTY YEARS AGO November 3, 1976 The first of eight big drawings will be held this Thursday evening in Parkersburg. Hams, turkeys and gift certificates will be drawn for. Participants may register from now until 6 p.m. Thursday evening to be eligible for the drawing. Parkersburg High School juniors have finalized their plans to hold the 1977 prom at the Red Fox Inn in Waverly on May 7. The meal and program will be held at 7 p.m. with the students dancing to SHATTER between 8 and 11 p.m. The Parkersburg Crusader football team finished its 1976 Big Marsh Conference regular season with a decisive 20-0 victory over previously undefeated and rated Fredericksburg. Doug Krull came through with an amazing 16 tackles and one pass interception. Sam Klinkenborg had 12 tackles and one fumble recovery.

FIFTY YEARS AGO November 2, 1966 The election for US senate, Iowa state house offices, county and local offices will be held Tuesday, November 8 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Senator Jack Miller, incumbent on the Republican side, is being challenged by Democratic candidate E.B. Smith for the seat in the U.S. Senate. In one of the most heated races, one that is being watched nationally, is the challenge of Waterloo Democrat Pat Touchee to Republican incumbent H.R. Gross for a seat in the U.S. House. In the closing game for both teams last Friday night, Aplington ground out an 18-0 won over Parkersburg. The heavier Panthers dominated the last half of the game when all the scoring was done. They accumulated 206 net yards on the ground to 23 for Parkersburg. David Muller scored on touchdown runs of 2 and 42 yards; Vernon DeVries scored on a six-yard burst. For Parkersburg, Junker completed 7 of 16 passes for 111 yards to lead the offense. Last Thursday at the meeting of the members of Calvary Baptist Church, Parkersburg, it was voted to build a new church and education unit. Construction is planned for 1967. The idea for a new church has been discussed for a number of years.

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News Review It’s not easy being a Cubs fan ... which I guess in a sense is a good thing, because at least for the past couple of weeks I haven’t been. While I admit to an affinity for the Cubbies during the regular season and even the playoffs leading up to the World Series, last week they became my (temporary) enemy while facing my beloved Cleveland Indians. It was around June, as the Indians vaulted into first place in their division while the Cubs were running away with the title in theirs, that I started dreaming of an Indians-Cubs World Series. At the time it felt like a long shot. Yet as the season went on it actually started to look possible - the Cubs were the best team in the National League and the Indians seemed set up to do well in the postseason with the American League’s best pitching staff. As injuries mounted for Cleveland, however, I began to wonder if it could be. Yet the Tribe played great baseball for a couple of weeks to keep advancing. It was incredibly fun to watch. I started following the Indians when I started following sports as a preteen. We lived about an hour outside Cleveland and the Tribe was a staple on local television station WUAB ... while the other kids were out playing, I’d be watching baseball on the tube. I finally convinced my dad to take me to a game a couple of years later. It was late in the season, Cleveland was on its way to one of the terrible seasons that marked the team’s history in the early 80’s, but I was as excited as a kid on Christmas morning. The Indians played in the huge, dilapidated Municipal Stadium at the time, sometimes bringing as few as 6,000 fans to a stadium that seated 74,000. Lets just say we had our choice of seats. One of my fondest memories of childhood was seeing that baseball field for the first time. Municipal Stadium was built like a lot of the older stadiums, with tunnels connecting the concourse to the seating area. As I walked up the ramp and through the tunnel I remember thinking how small the field looked. In my 12-year-old mind I saw the baseball field as larger-than-life field ... so much so that the smaller actuality of it all kind of disappointed me. Dad bought us box seats for the game, though the viewing angle was so bad that we didn’t sit in them, instead opting for the less expensive reserved section behind us. The pitching matchup that day was one I’ll never forget — Hall or Famer Jim Palmer for the Baltimore Orioles and future Cubs legend Rick Sutcliffe for the Tribe. The Indians lineup featured a lot of guys who weren’t household names but who were my heroes — Ron Hassey catching, Rick Manning in center field, future Indians manager Mike Hargrove at first base and my favorite player, Toby Harrah, at third. I saw a couple of other games in Cleveland the following year — one with my parents and one with some friends — before we moved to Iowa. When we came I tried to cheer for other teams like the Cardinals, White Sox ... even the Cubs ... though my attention kept going back to the Indians. I even cried when the Indians won at the end of the movie “Major League,” even though it was a movie. Come to think of it, I still cry at the end of that movie. I haven’t been back to Cleveland for a game since we left in 1983. That said, I’ve been able to see them play in a lot of different cities. I saw them play in Milwaukee and Chicago when I was in college, and since then I’ve seen them play in St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis and St. Petersburg, Fla. (a couple of times). It’s been fun to see them, though I long to get back to Cleveland to be part of the home crowd. Maybe if they win the Series later this week I’ll make a point to do that next year. Lynnette wasn’t brought up around sports, though even she’s started getting into the games. Sunday we watched nearly the entire game together and I could tell she was getting into it at times. We’ve even gone to a couple of local games together. The Cubs are more talented than the Indians and will probably come back to win their first series in 108 years. Even if that happens, though, it’s been one heck of a ride this year.

Awarding the Awards This Sunday, November 6 is our annual 4-H Awards Program at Bethel Reformed Church in Aplington. We’ve had it in Greene several years and like to move it around the county as much as possible. Our Award’s Program will start at 6 p.m. Holly and the 4-H and Youth Committee have spent a lot of time preparing for the event. What does “award” mean? According to Webster an award can be a verb meaning “to bestow upon” or a noun meaning “a judgment; the decision of arbitrators”. I guess you could say we are awarding awards here in Butler County 4-H! We have done a great job of updating record keeping methods and streamlining the process of 4-H’ers to apply for awards. In the past, I remember coming to the office at night and on weekends to help go through all the books turned in for awards. There weren’t very many of us willing to devote the time to doing that and when I became CYC I knew that number would decrease by one! Time for a change! I put it back on the leaders to go over books “with the members” giving them guidance and suggestions and then let us know at the office the members they felt had record books deserving of an award. I felt they knew their members best and could more fairly evaluate if the member did the best they could based on their ability. Many leaders told me they enjoyed going through the books with each member and getting to know them better! Special awards and officer books come to the office to be judged by the members of the 4-H & Youth Committee. Holly has one member judge all of the books in an area so there’s consistency. Some of our awards have special guidelines which is difficult for some to understand. I remember back to my days in 4-H when leaders judged all the books for their members, and record books were required from all members! Leaders then “nominated” members for awards on the county level. A nomination was, and is still, no guarantee that we would win the award, we just knew our leaders felt we met the requirements. My senior year on county council with three other very active and deserving girls, I knew my chances of winning an award were pretty slim; we all deserved the award, but only one would win it. Holly and the 4-H and Youth Committee worked very hard to recognize the youth really deserving of each award. Butler County has quite a few really awesome 4-H’ers! Whether or not a 4-H’er is awarded the award nominated for, I hope they all remember that 4-H is about so much more than awards! It’s about opportunities, experiences, life skills, fun and the relationship built with a caring adult. Won’t you join us this Sunday, November 6 as we “Award the Awards?” Hope to see you there!

Letter to the Editor Supervisor supports Williams for county auditor This is a letter of support for the re-election of Lizbeth Williams for the office of Auditor of Butler County. I have had the pleasure of working along side Ms. Williams since January of 2015 as the Supervisor for District 3. Ms. Williams is dedicated to her position and committed to serving the citizens of this County. She is a diligent worker and takes great pride in

maintaining fiscal responsibility for those whom she represents. I would encourage the citizens of Butler County to re-elect Lizbeth Williams for County Auditor. Rusty Eddy Butler County Supervisor District 3 Parkersburg, Iowa

In support of Donald Trump Well, next week at this time the election will be history. It’s been a disappointing and frustrating time for me as a voter. I do not like either of the presidential candidates, and it’s tempting not to vote at all. But then I remember the thousands of veterans that fought for our freedoms and realize I need to exercise my privilege to vote. I also remember that the next president will be appointing one and possibly up to three Supreme Court Justices during his term and I want the nominees to be justices who interpret the Constitution by adhering to our founding fathers intent. If I choose not to vote, I am actually

voting for the person I least support. The two candidates have very different views on what issues they support and what they oppose (see Visionamerica.org voting guide to review 10 major issues.) After reviewing the Vision America guide I am choosing to vote for Donald Trump, because he most closely represents my desires & dreams for America’s future. You can cast your vote early at the courthouse from 7:30 to 4:30 Monday through Friday and 8 to 5 on Saturday until November 7th.

I would like to extend a very special thank you to the A-P Dollars for Scholars committee, Aaron Thomas, area businesses that provided the community with the option to purchase these tickets at multiple locations, students that helped with ticket sales and of course the community for their support in purchasing the raffle tickets. I enjoy quilting and it was a blessing to be able to donate the A-P Falcon quilt. Thank You, Sheila Cordes

We wish to thank everyone who made our 70th Anniversary such a joyous day. To those who came to our home to extend congratulations, those who brought flowers and left money anonymously, those who sent cards, and also telephone calls we say thank you. Special thanks to Steve and Barb for organizing the open house making our special day so memorable. God Bless you all. Fred and Christina Johnson

Yard and Garden: Handling ornamental grasses for Fall foliage and winter coverage Fall brings with it beautiful colors across the state. Most identify trees with those spectacular vistas, but ornamental grasses also can provide great color for landscapes. Which grasses are best for fall foliage, and which are best equipped to deal with winter’s cold conditions? Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help answer questions about ornamental grasses and how to handle them during the winter. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu. Are there ornamental grasses with colorful fall foliage? Several ornamental grasses develop good fall color. Switchgrass (Pani-

cum spp.) cultivars with colorful fall foliage include ‘Rehbraun’ (reddish brown), ‘Rotstrahlbusch’ (burgundy red), and ‘Prairie Fire’ (wine red). In fall, Miscanthus cultivars ‘Purpurascens’ and ‘November Sunset’ have orange-red and golden orange foliage respectively. Little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) has yellow to burnt orange fall color. The fall color of little bluestem cultivar ‘Blaze’ is orange to reddish purple, while ‘Blue Heaven’ develops a burgundy red color in autumn. ‘Red October,’ a cultivar of big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), has burgundy red foliage in fall. The fall foliage of ‘Cordoba’ purple moor grass (Molinia caerulea ssp. arundinacea) is golden yellow. ‘Tara’ prairie dropseed (Spo-

robolus heterolepis) develops an orange-red fall color. When should I cut back my ornamental grasses? Many ornamental grasses provide color, sound, and movement to the winter landscape. Because of these winter features, cut back ornamental grasses in April in Iowa. Cut back the grasses to within 2 to 4 inches of the ground with a hand shears, lopping shears or hedge trimmer. I planted fountain grass in the garden this spring. Will it survive the winter? There are several species of fountain grass. Perennial fountain grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides) is a perennial grass. It is hardy in much of Iowa. Annual fountain grass (Pennisetum seta-

ceum) is a widely grown annual grass. The most popular annual cultivars are those with reddish purple foliage, such as ‘Rubrum.’ Annual fountain grass will not survive the winter in Iowa. The central portions of several of my ornamental grasses are dead. Why? The centers of ornamental grasses often die as the plants get older. When this occurs, it’s a good time to dig and divide the grasses. When the grasses begin to grow in spring, dig up entire clumps, cut out and discard the dead center portions of each clump, cut the outer portions into sections and replant.

The meeting was called to order by Melanie Johnson at 6:30 p.m. Roll call was answered by 17 members. The treasurer’s report was given. Balance on hand is $2,675.01. The meeting started off with a cups project. We took two cookie sheets and a couple cups. We had to find a way to stack the cookie sheets and

cups so that it would hold our own body weight. Second, roll call was read by Hannah Bill. Third, treasurer’s report was read by Hannah Buttjer and second by Audri Oldenburger. Following the treasure report, Melane Johnson gave upcoming club dates for events. Next we played a game called Earth, Air, Fire and Water. We then concluded our meeting with a meal.

By MIRA SCHMITT-CASH Mid-America Publishing CLARKSVILLE — The community has stepped up to help a Clarksville area farmer in his time of need, and Fargo, N.D.-based nonprofit Farm Rescue has stepped in to relieve some pressure from the community, so they don’t have to neglect their own harvests. Randy Wedeking grew up on 120th Street in rural Clarksville, where his father Clarence lived until recently. Randy and Brenda, his wife of 35 years, live just south, on 130th Street and Union Avenue. They farm 1,250 acres of corn, including his father’s place. Randy noticed last November he was losing his usual upper body strength. Over the winter, he resolved to try to get into shape. He was at a loss as to how weak he had become, he said. He noticed he was unable to breathe, lying in bed. “At that point I decided to see a physician,” he said. After a referral to a cardiologist, a pulmonary fluxion test result indicated he might have sleep apnea “which we now know is not the case,” he said. Randy was able to plant and spray, but he was getting weaker. During spring planting, his wife Brenda helped him lift the chemicals. She has always helped plant and harvest, despite working full-time. Randy said his hands began to look “deformed.” He demonstrated how he now picks up a pop bottle, by wedging it between the curl of his pinky and ring finger. On seeing Randy’s hands, his doctor referred him to the neurologist who initially diagnosed him. In June, his neurologist at Allen Hospital in Waterloo sent him to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. for some testing for fear he might have ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. After testing, Mayo clinicians confirmed the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which signifies “lack of muscle nourishment.” “At that time, they asked me if I had anybody who could help me do my harvest this fall because I had told them I farmed,” Randy said. RANDY RECALLED the Clay County Fair in Spencer, where he had spoken with Farm Rescue representatives. The Fargo, N.D.-based 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization provides free-of-charge assistance with planting, haying and harvesting for farm families who have experienced a major illness, injury or natural disaster, a brochure states. Some friends and neighbors offered to help. Others simply came up and

encouraged him. “But most modern farmers have enough acres of their own and I didn’t want to be responsible for them not getting their own work done,” Randy said. “Farm Rescue just seemed more in line with my immediate needs.” Farm Rescue Board President Bill Gross incorporated the nonprofit organization in 2005 in Fargo, North Dakota. It now operates in a five-state area in the upper Midwest. Farm Rescue has had just north of 400 cases since its inception; Randy Wedeking’s is the 57th confirmed case this year. The organization relies on media to spread the word. “I found out about it through American Profile,” Levi Weilenga said. For the last six years, Weilenga of Sioux City has been volunteering as an equipment specialist with Farm Rescue where he donates 1,000 hours a year. He points out he is missing some fingers, owing to a birth defect. He also lacks all toes, which causes his feet to hurt a lot. “I empathize with people,” he said, is the silver lining. “Farm Rescue’s a perfect volunteer gig I can partake of to serve God, serve others and volunteer my time,” he said. Carol Weilenga, wife to Levi, directs operations under founder Gross and the board of directors. She oversees two full-time staff and one part-timer. They are the only four paid staff at Farm Rescue, Levi said. EVEN BEFORE FARMING, ALS created in Randy immediate needs for assistance with daily living. Mayo staff suggested he contact the ALS Association of Iowa, which sent out a caseworker. “They have just been such caring and helpful (people) in my disease,” Randy said. They sent him assistive devices, such as a special dinner-utensil type contraption to help with daily tasks such as buttoning his shirt. “As the need arises, they have walkers, ramps, wheelchairs, all free of charge” to the person with ALS, he said. “Basically anything I require, they’re there for me.” “My mom and dad were generous people who were quick to give to others in times of need,” Randy said. “But even my dad was disappointed in the way some charities and such misappropriated or wasted their donations. I can truly say that Farm Rescue — it’s the real deal. I can say — They are offering a tremendous amount of resources in the form of trucks, combines and volunteers from all over the

with Dry Run Creek Watershed and Practical Farmers of Iowa, will host a cover crop field day Thursday, November 17. The 12-2 p.m. field day near Cedar Falls is free and open to the public. It includes a complimentary lunch. Attendees will hear from Black Hawk County farmer, Ted Hamer, and landowner, John Miller, about working together to protect the soil though the use of cover crops, strip-till corn and no-till soybeans. Since 1983, Hamer has been using conservation tillage to help reduce input costs in his operation. For the last three years, Hamer has seeded a variety of cover crops on 120 acres, including cereal rye, radish,

attendees will have the opportunity to visit the nearby field seeded with winter wheat this fall. Also speaking at the field day is Justin Meissen with Tallgrass Prairie Center who is working with Hamer and Miller to add a prairie strip next spring. He will discuss the process of incorporating prairie into row crop production. Stefan Gailans, Practical Farmers of Iowa, will share on-farm cover crop research updates and recommendations. Josh Balk, Dry Run Creek Watershed Coordinator, will provide a project update and upcoming opportunities to participate. The field day will begin with lunch at Barn Happy, 11310 University Ave,

AS OF LAST WEEK, harvest was 70 percent complete, Randy estimated. “We’re actually ahead of schedule on harvest,” he said. “This has really

given me a boost.” “My greatest help through all this,” Randy emphasized, “has been my wife Brenda. We’ve been happily married 35 years and she has supported my farming desire in addition to raising the children and making our house a home. She is the true hero of this story. “I especially want to thank my sonin-law Jim White and daughter Jenni who have put their own farming needs (on hold) to help me handle grain, from Farm Rescue folks,” Randy said. “They have just filled my every need the last few weeks.” Jenni and Jim White have been helping Randy since the day Farm Rescue arrived, Wednesday, Oct. 12. Jim and Jenni’s son, Cael, 14, started helping two weeks earlier and has been coming to help on weekends when not busy with school or football. Their daughter, Emma, 11, helped the weekend of Oct. 15 and 16 as well, Jenni said. Randy said Cael “would help every day if he could.” Jenni said helping Grandpa is huge for Cael, “knowing that the time is limited going forward.” “He (Randy) wants to do as much of it as he can,” Jim White said. “While he’s still capable — with the ALS,” Jenni said. Even before becoming a nurse, Jenni had a classmate who lost a mother to ALS “so I was very aware of the disease and what it was. Even before it was formally diagnosed, the symptoms were suspect for me, knowing what my friend’s mom had gone through. “It’s hard to watch, knowing what he was capable of,” Jenni said. “Just the nervousness of knowing, what if he’d get hurt. Got to let him do it, too… It’s been neat to watch the farming community (step forward). Everybody looks out for everybody. They’re offering before you ever have to ask for help. Your neighbors (have) got your back. It’s something we’ve always known, but not everybody can appreciate it unless you’ve been around it.” Randy had a 3-month checkup at Mayo about a month ago. “My future looks to be on the short end of what they’ve seen for life span” with ALS, Randy said. “I’m OK with that because of my relationship with Jesus Christ.” “I’m just thankful for my heavenly father for placing me in the hearts of all these people I’ve encountered in the last few months who are genuine,” he said, listing Gerald and Rebecca Carpenter, his neighbors, and their children, who brought out goodies for the crew. “I managed to hog all the brownies!” he said. “Small gestures like that really bring me inner joy.”

ASKING FOR HELP was “absolutely” difficult at first, Randy said. “Farming is my passion, so I didn’t want to have somebody else do it. I wanted to do it myself.” Having a combine allows him to dry and store some of his crop at home rather than having to pay for community storage, he said. At 62, Brenda’s husband “has gotten all his equipment up to the way he wants it,” she said. “I think he was hoping he could spend 10-15 years more using the equipment.” His condition has increased his need for modified equipment. The Wedekings were put in touch with someone from Janesville who had an electric lift to put a less-mobile spouse into a combine. Randy and Brenda showed photos of the device to Plainfield Welding, run by John Barnett. He said John’s employee, Lyle Barnett, did a lot of the welding. “John and his crew were extremely responsive to my needs,” Randy said. Plainfield Welding made an electric lift for his own combine that has allowed him to partially combine his crop himself. They also put an extra step on his John Deere tractor. (He had to complain a little because it was a Case IH-red step on a John Deeregreen tractor.)

country. None of this is costing me a dime. It’s all donations. For somebody looking to donate somewhere it truly makes a difference, I would recommend Farm Rescue to be a part of their donor program… also the ALS (Association Iowa Chapter) charity in Des Moines. All these organizations rely on donations and the goodhearted-ness of others… I was oblivious to this until I found myself in this situation. I realize just how important it is to be a part of funding and volunteering to keep them viable.” Farm Rescue’s list of 225 sponsors reads like a who’s who of agribusiness in the Midwest, Levi Weilenga said. Additional donors include churches, individual wills and trusts. “We want to partner to take the pressure off the whole community so other farmers can take care of their own crops,” Weilenga said. “I’m going to have Farm Rescue do 500 to 600 acres, which will help greatly,” Randy said. He planned to call on others who had offered help, to finish whatever he and Farm Rescue do not complete.

An Uplifting Moment Rev. Dave Claassen

Reasons for Having Faith ... Where did consciousness come from? Part Three of a Seven-Part Series Being conscious is an amazing mystery. Why are we conscious rather than unconscious beings? Why are we aware? Why are we aware that we are aware? Where did our consciousness come from? Approximately 85 billion neurons make up our brains. Each neuron is connected to 10,000 others. These neurons fire a signal on the synapses between them. The mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s process for thinking is a matter of these neurons firing or not firing; you could call them biological on and off switches of the brain. How can consciousness arise from these simple firings of neurons? The function of a computer is similar to how our brains work in that all computer computations a re a huge number of 0s and 1s, much like the firing or not firing of the brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neurons. These 0s and 1s, in long strings and combinations, allow a computer to process data, but unlike our brains a computer is not conscious. Dr. Rosalind Picard, a Christian who is the founder and director of the Affective Computing Research Group at MIT, is heading the effort to give computers the ability to sense and respond to emotional clues. Will they ever have emotions? Dr. Picard stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working on methods that give machines what I say are mechanisms of emotionâ&#x20AC;Ś We can make the computer smile and look like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy, act like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy, and retrieve happier words. We can make a computer write poetry thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more iambic, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the same internal experience, or self, that we have.â&#x20AC;? In other words, we can program computers to simulate emotions by writing code so they respond in ways that seem emotional, but they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really feeling anything. When IBMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Watson computer won the game of Jeopardy over humans it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happy about the win. Watson wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t truly â&#x20AC;&#x153;thinking,â&#x20AC;? just crunching vast amounts of 0s and 1s to arrive at the right answer. No computer code, no matter how long or complex or how fast it runs, is going to become conscious; code canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be conscious. We can program computers to mimic consciousness, but not to experience it. If the 0s and 1s of computer code are never going to achieve consciousness, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason to believe that switching on and off the firing of the neurons of any brain will generate consciousness. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really no adequate explanation for the existence of consciousness other than believing that the Creator, who is supremely conscious, created us this way! As His conscious creation we are not only conscious of self and of the world around us, we were created to be conscious of our Creator, and to live accordingly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them.â&#x20AC;? (Genesis 1:27) â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their Godâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? (Jeremiah 24:7)

Johnson’s record night lifts Wolverines By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review DIKE – Dike-New Hartford senior Trent Johnson saved his best for his final home game. Johnson set a pair of school records while also reaching a hallowed state mark as the Wolverines opened the 2016 playoffs with a 55-29 victory over Southeast Valley. The Wolverines (8-2) advance to the quarterfinal round of the playoffs where they will take on a talented PCM team in Monroe. The Mustangs dominated Roland-Story in the first round, 38-7. Johnson ran for 424 yards and seven touchdowns, both school records, as the Wolverines rolled up more than 550 yards of total offense. He scored on runs of 15, 4, 75, 11, 13, 73 and 36 yards while averaging 16.3 yards per carry against an SEV defense that gave up just 15.6 points per game this season. “Our line really stepped up tonight,” Johnson said. “I always had a hole and then the wide receivers blocked downfield. It was a hands-down team effort.” “Our offensive line had it going tonight – holy cow,” Wolverine coach Don Betts said. “Those guys were coming of the ball. They’ve been doing that all year long. We’ve rode our running game all year long and that line just keeps getting better and better. We had a lot of inexperienced kids playing there early on and they keep getting better.” With their running game clicking, the Wolverines rarely threw the ball. Sophomore Cade Fuller threw just six passes on the night, completing five of them for 67 yards and a touchdown. Nick Durnin had a team-high three catches for 47 yards and a score. The Wolverines stuffed South-

Fall Musical

east Valley’s running game most of the night, making the Jaguars fairly one-dimensional. SEV quarterback Nolan Brand threw for 313 yards, with much of that coming on touchdown throws of 57, 80 and 80 yards in the second quarter. Talented tight end Dakota Jaeschke caught seven of Brand’s passes for 202 yards and a pair of long scores. “(Jaeschke) is a heck of a player,” Betts said. “There were times that he was running wide open but there were times that we had him double-covered and he’d go up and make the catch.” The Wolverines were also flagged 13 times for 100 yards, though 80 of the penalty yards came in the first half. “We cleaned a lot of that up at halftime,” Betts said. “A lot of time that’s just a lack of focus.” The night, however, belonged to Johnson who entered the game needing 402 yards to tie a record set by former North Mahaska standout Levi Ferguson from 2002-2005. Johnson had 271 yards in the first half and then ripped a 73-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half to pull within striking distance … something he did not expect when the night began. “When I got close enough I actually did go up to Coach (Greg) Moore and said, ‘Can I get it here?’ I told him I want to get it at home,” Johnson said. THE WOLVERINES SET THE tone for the game on its very first play with a hard hit on the opening kickoff. The defense forced a quick three-andout and a short punt set the offense up for a 38-yard drive that took less than 90 seconds. Another defensive stand set up a 50-yard Wolverine drive and a third, during which Southeast Valley moved the ball for the first time all night, set up a 78-yard D-NH drive

capped by Johnson’s third touchdown, a 75-yard sprint. The Jaguars found something over the top in the second quarter as Brand found Nolan Johnson for a 57-yard scoring pass and then threw the two 80-yard bombs to Jaeschke. After each score, however, D-NH had an answer. A Keoda Yung interception also set up a score, with Fuller finding Durnin over the middle for a 27-yard touchdown that made it 42-16 at the time. Up 42-22 at halftime, the Wolverines set the tone for the second half when Johnson broke free off tackle. Once Johnson was in the secondary Southeast Valley had no answer, with its defense pinned up front to stop him at the line of scrimmage. With the score 49-22 and soon after 55-22, the only question remaining was whether Johnson would reach a mark that seemed unlikely after he gained just 280 yards the first two weeks of the season. It came on a run much like many of Johnson’s others – a dive that saw him make a quick move at the line of scrimmage and dart to a 15-yard gain. Coaches took Johnson out of the game as the record was announced and he ran the ball just three more times, with his final carry coming on the first play of the fourth quarter.

dreams to tell them their future. He’s kind and caring to others and loves his brothers, although his brothers do not love him and they try to get rid of him. Ivy Nolte plays the Narrator. She plays a woman who is not from the time of Joseph, but uses word and song to guide the audience through the story of Joseph and his brothers. She tells the story while the characters show the story. If you would like to see Trevor and Ivy portray their characters, then come out and support the fall musical.

Wolverines sweep into regional final By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review IOWA FALLS — Dike-New Hartford held Iowa Falls-Alden to 12 kills on its way to a three-set sweep over Iowa Falls-Alden in the Class 3A, Region 4 semifinal. The Wolverines (44-5) advanced to the Region 4 final where they faced Clarion-Goldfield-Dows in Hampton. D-NH dominated all facets of the match, recording 42 kills and 10 aces while IF-A had just 12 kills and went without an ace. The Wolverines also served better and had a more efficient attack. “We controlled the ball well,” Wolverine coach Diane Harms said. “We passed with tempo, we were in system most of the night so we had all of our hitting options available and we transitioned well and maintained our position so we were able to pass again.” The match was the second for DikeNew Hartford without freshman Morgan Weber, the team’s No. 2 hitter. Madison Lavenz switched from rightside hitter to Weber’s usual spot on the left side, with Carlee Dove moving into Lavenz former spot on the right. “They’ve all played at different times in those spots, so the more they’re playing the more comfortable we’re getting,” Harms said. Haleigh Durnin led the Wolverines with 12 kills while Lavenz recorded 10 and Baylee Petersen eight. Petersen also had 12 digs and six service aces while Sydney Petersen had a teamhigh 17 digs and Madison Hedges 34 assists. The Wolverines took control of the first set with a 7-1 run that turned a 3-3

tie into a 10-4 lead. Dike-New Hartford’s lead reached 19-7 as Durnin and Petersen combined to record six kills in a seven points. A Hedges kill gave the Wolverines the 25-12 win. D-NH jumped ahead fast in the second set, building a 9-3 lead on a Lavenz kill. Three straight Wolverine errors helped IF-A pull within three, 12-9, as Harms called a timeout. The Wolverines scored on three straight kills and an ace coming out of the timeout, building their lead back to seven points and finished with a four-point rally for the 25-14 win. The Cadets lead 6-4 early in the third set before the Wolverines tied it 6-6 on a Lavenz kill. A Rickert kill and solo block gave D-NH the lead and a seven-point rally gave them breathing room. Dike-New Hartford 25 25 25 Iowa Falls-Alden 12 14 12 Kills: Dike-New Hartford 42 (Haleigh Durnin 12, Madison Lavenz 10), Iowa Falls-Alden 12.

Tyler, Jungling score top-six finishes at state cross country meet By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review FORT DODGE — Mason Tyler and Sophia Jungling scored top-six finishes Saturday, leading Aplington-Parkersburg’s boys’ and girls’ cross country teams to top-11 finishes at the Class 2A state cross country meet at Kennedy Park in Fort Dodge. Tyler placed fifth and led the boys to a 10th-place team finish while Jungling was sixth and led the girls to 11th place. Falcon coach Jason Berkey stressed the team concept all year and said the girls’ team’s success was a result of the kids buying into that. “They just bought into the whole team effort and they just kept getting better and better as the season went along,” he said of the girls. “It was just a gratifying experience to see them qualify.” Berkey said the girls’ goal for the

meet was to place in the top 10. Despite running without one of their usual scoring runners, the Falcons missed the top 10 by just one place in the standings. “We were right there in the mix,” the coach said. “It was a beautiful day and the kids really embraced it and really, I think, enjoyed the state meet.” Jungling came him in 19 minutes, 1 second, missing the top five by just 12 seconds. “We knew going into this that 2A was one of the tougher classes in the meet as far as the top-heavy runners,” Berkey said. “She’s got a bright future.” Other Falcon scorers included Megan Johnson 28th, Nicole May 57th, Miranda Oldenburger 118th and Gabby Hanken 122nd. Emily Klinkenborg, the Falcons’ fourth finisher at the state qualifying meet, did not run.

“I thought (the girls) all came in and for being in that type of atmosphere with that many people around that haven’t really experienced that, it was good for the whole team.” Running at state for the second straight year, Berkey admitted that they were hoping for better than 10th place, the same as they finished a year ago. “(They) had high expectations,” Berkey said. “This group of kids really believed they could do something special and they did. I think they were hoping for more, but they showed up, they competed and that’s all you can ask. All we ask of them is to have fun and do your best and they did that.” Tyler, on the other hand, had an extremely positive meet, moving up 99 spots from his finish of a year ago while trimming more than two minutes off his time on an identical course.

“All of our kids throughout the year got better,” Berkey said. The boys return six of their top seven, graduating only Haren, while the girls have three of their top six back, including Jungling and Johnson who excelled as freshmen this year. Girls’ seniors included May, Klinkenborg, Hanken and Natalee Morris. “We’re going to miss some seniors that ran this year and provided a lot of good leadership,” Berkey said. “I was just proud to send the seniors out on the right note in the state meet. It was just an overall gratifying experience.” “Trevor’s probably one of the better leaders I’ve been around,” Berkey said. “He just leads by example and works hard. He’s just a great kid.” DIKE-NEW HARTFORD HAD a pair of girls in the meet, with senior Alayna Kollasch placing 11th, just one

second outside the top 10, and freshman Ellie Foster 68th.
