Butler County voters favor Williams, Barnett

from Marshalltown who had qualified the last three years did not make the cut this year. “They dropped that list of all the basses that we accepted, and that boy’s name was under first alternate,” he said. “Often times those alternates do not go – it’s a fluke if they do go. There’s just tremendous competition that you’re up against and you never know what those judges are looking for.” Truax, a junior, can join Haren as a four-time all-stater after qualifying for the third straight year. “You have to know the music frontand-back, you have to know it all because you never know what they’re going to pick (for auditions),” he said. “I think it went pretty good. My group performed well. Unfortunately Gabby (Hanken) wasn’t able to make it but she got recalled. Caleb got recalled and he made it.” Truax called his past success at tryouts “huge” in that it helps with confidence even when things don’t go perfectly. “This year wasn’t as smooth (as last year) but I was still confident in what we did,” he said. “You have to go in there and be confident in what you do.”

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review Butler County voters were split on the need for change in a pair of county offices. Last Tuesday, local voters favored incumbent auditor Liz Williams in a race against Leslie Groen, who had been nominated by petition, but ousted incumbent District 1 Supervisor Rex Ackerman, who was beaten by Greg Barnett. Barnett, a Republican who also defeated Ackerman in the primary race, tallied 57.1 percent of the votes cast while Ackerman, who had been nominated by petition, tallied 42.7 percent. Williams, who also survived a primary battle, tallied 64.2 percent of the vote while Groen had 35.8 percent. “I thought things went well - we had almost twice the votes,” Williams said. “You always are (nervous) because you can never predict the outcome (of and election … (I was) confident but nervous.” Groen thanked supporters via her campaign’s Facebook page “for all the kind words and votes!” «(Tuesday, Nov. 8) was so much fun hearing from so many supporters and people telling me they had voted,” she wrote. “Great to hear we were out voting! «It is always a challenge to win against straight ticket voting in Butler County, so receiving over 2000 votes as a non-partisan candidate on the ballot is something I am proud of,» Groen said. “2016 was not the time for me but I’m not one to quit something I believe in. «My views, ideas and past experience will not change in the next four years, so I will continue following our local government, raising my kids, living an honest life amongst great people and meeting new people to learn from … until next time,» she concluded. The lone other Butler County race saw Sheriff Jason Johnson unopposed in his bid for reelection. He received 98.9 percent of the vote. In federal and statewide races, Butler County followed the lead of the state and nation in its Republican leaning. Donald Trump received 65.5 percent support in Butler County in the presidential race to just 28.7 percent for Hillary Clinton while Senator Chuck Grassley, a New Hartford native, received 72.8 percent support in his U.S. Senate race against Patty Judge. Steve King was also favored overwhelmingly in Butler County in his race for reelection in Iowa’s fourth Congressional District, receiving 68.5 percent support in his race against Kim Weaver.

Aplington-Parkersburg High School All-State vocalists include: Trevor Haren, Caleb Self, Grant Truax, Ivy Nolte, Zach Self and Jacob Abbas.

A-P students continue incredible all-state music tradition Haren named to elite chorus for fourth time By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — The Aplington-Parkersburg High School vocal music department continued its recent tradition of success recently, as five students were selected to participate in this week’s All-State Music Festival in Ames. Trevor Haren was selected to participate for the fourth time while Caleb Self and Grant Truax were selected for the third time, Ivy Nolte for the second and Zach Self for the first time. Jacob Abbas could become a sixth A-P student to participate, having been named second alternate on his voice part. Director Jeff Bieber said the school has had a lot of success in recent years, sending 23 students to the festival. Tryouts are among students from schools of all sizes and only 125 students are selected per voice part statewide. Though this year’s number is down from last year’s eight A-P all-staters, Bieber said it is impressive nevertheless. “We just had less audition this year, we had a huge crop of seniors last

year,” he said. “To have those kids of odds of seven audition … we’re competing against schools that might bring 28 to audition … bringing seven and getting six at least an alternate is really, really, really strong.” Bieber said he worked with the seven students who auditioned and put in a lot of hours to prepare. They attended the Meistersinger All-State Camp at Wartburg College to learn the music and then the students began learning their parts. This year’s music included a piece in German and a couple of pieces written in Latin. Sets included “America the Beautiful” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic” as well as five less common pieces. Haren said the key to A-P’s success at All-State is preparation. “Mr Bieber holds us to a high standard of preparing ourselves just mentally and physically knowing the notes but also being prepared for the audition, controlling your nerves and stuff like that.” “The kids that end up- making it, that arrive to that point, their final product is really polished, so they can compete with students in those big 4A schools,” Bieber said. Practices are often in the evening after other school activities are com-

plete. “That’s the only time,” Bieber said. “Maybe these kids are coming back late from a volleyball meet and then like a cross country meet, we’ll be back by 9 or 9:30, and they make it work. They come in, and I’m not pulling teeth to get them to come in, they want to come in and they know they have to come in and work in order to be ready to audition for All-State.” Bieber used a single word to describe Haren earning a fourth All-State bid, “Huge.” “The four-year All-Staters during the festival, they actually announce all of the four-year All-Staters from each of the ensembles, so they will announce ‘Trevor Haren, Aplington-Parkersburg High School,’ which is just awesome for a high school.” Bieber said among the 600 participants each year, about six are usually four-year participants. “It’s just a huge honor and it’s been something he’s been working for since he made it as a freshman,” Bieber said. “When he made it this was something we knew it was something he could do. It was a goal.” Bieber said it doesn’t always happen that way. Even this year at Hampton, where A-P tried out, he said a boy

Frey, Petersen share emotional stories during Parkersburg Veteran’s Day ceremony By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — A pair of Aplington-Parkersburg High School students shared emotional stories during Friday’s annual Veteran’s Day ceremony at the school. Senior Sam Frey shared the story of an unnamed little girl whose father was her best friend … and a soldier, while Clara Petersen spoke about not wanting to take those who serve for granted. Frey talked of the unnamed girl being a daddy’s girl – of talks about hockey games, hugs and his being there for her every night. “He was undoubtedly the most important person in her life,” she said. “The young girl understood at a young age that saying goodbye was short and sweet, that you didn’t cry for very long, and you went on with your life without complaining.” Frey also talked of the little girl’s anxiety when her dad was gone, particularly during his two tours of duty before she was 12 years old.

Aplington water tower project nears completion By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review APLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The long-delayed Aplington water tower project appears to be near completion. Last Wednesday the city council heard a report that the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will be coming in to inspect the tower, which would enable it to soon go online. Don Moore of Ryken Engineering said he had given contractor Brent Standsbury a list of items that still must be completed, the largest of which was an impeller that did not appear to be functioning properly.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Immediately after resolution of the impeller issue Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to write a letter (of completion),â&#x20AC;? he said. Moore said that, while there were several items on the list, it could be taken care of in just a few days. Standsbury said his work is wrapping up and that he expected to be relatively clear of the project by late in the week. He said the items on Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list would be addressed this week at the latest. Standsbury did not question any of the items on the checklist. Public Works Director Blake Hovenga reported on wastewater treatment plant progress, noting that the project is nearing completion. He said valves

will be installed in the outlet structure and electrical controls will be shipped to the site to finish up. Some equipment needs to be installed before the new aerators, generator and controls can be installed. Aplington will have a new police officer as of Dec. 1. Council approved hiring Ben Baskerville of Waterloo at an annual salary of $40,000. Baskerville has police experience in several communities, including Fort Dodge, Washington and Oelwein. Farm Bureau Insurance agent Dennis Jungling presented several options for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care coverage. Council approved a Wellmark En-

hancedBlue HMO policy that will feature a base deductible of $1,000 and employees taking care of co-pays. Council briefly discussed what they should do with electric rates following an upcoming rate increase to the city from Butler County REC. Rates will be set during a Nov. 21 special meeting with a second reading of rates during the December council meeting and possible waiver of the third reading. The Nov. 21 special meeting will also feature discussion of amendments to other ordinances, including an ordinance that could limit parking of campers and trailers on city streets.

Local radio station cites Tingle as Teacher of the Week By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News-Review PARKERSBURG — A Parkersburg Elementary teacher was caught by surprise last week when radio station 93.5 The Mix named her its Teacher of the Week. Tamra Tingle, who teaches third grade, was nominated by her daughter Kelsie, a senior at A-P High School. “Mrs. Tingle goes above and beyond her job description,” her daughter wrote in the nomination. “She cares about each and every single one of the kids she teaches and she helps them to learn much more than classroom skills. She also teaches them how to give back to others, and how to be kids of character.” Kelsie cited a holiday tradition that her mom began a couple of years ago where she takes her own money and gives it to her students and challenges them to pay it forward. “She has had kids donate to several charities, whether it is a local program or a nationwide organization that has affected them personally,” Kelsie said. “As part of the challenge is to be creative, several kids have gone even

further. Some have bought animals for families in need through the World Vision project, and some have asked family and friends to contribute towards a fund that they start in order to do something bigger. “Each child that goes through her classroom is more than just a student,” Kelsie said. “They all hold a special place in her heart.” Tamra, who received a prize package Wednesday, said she had an inkling something was up, though she was still very surprized. “I got an e-mail from a parent Monday morning that said ‘Congratulations on Teacher of the Week’ and I didn’t really know what that meant and I asked around and nobody knew what that meant so I just let it go. I was pretty shocked (Wednesday).” Tingle has taught in Parkersburg for nine years after having taught for Headstart previously. “It’s an awesome job and I’m very fortunate to work here with the people that I do and the families that I do and kids that I do,” she said. “It’s very cool.”

GRUNDY CENTER - Are you looking for motivation to prevent weight gain during the upcoming holiday season? Grundy County Memorial Hospital is offering Maintain, Don’t Gain, which is a team activity to encourage participants to approach the busy holiday season with a plan to avoid gaining weight. “Many of us begin the new year with five or more pounds to lose, and we tend to think a few extra pounds during the holidays won’t hurt,” remarks Health Promotions Manager Crystal Petersen, dietitian and nutritionist. “Research shows that an annual holiday weight gain of one pound is typically not ever lost, but adds up over the years. November and December may not be the best time to begin a new eating plan or exercise routine,

but maintaining your current weight is a great place to begin!” Maintain, Don’t Gain begins with a team weigh-in during the week before Thanksgiving, November 17 - 23. Registrants will receive information to support healthy holiday eating, such as recipe makeovers, healthier ingredient swaps, and meal planning tips along with ideas for creating new family holiday traditions that don’t revolve around food. Teams may register for Maintain, Don’t Gain by phoning 319-824-4161 or emailing brenda. schmidt@unitypoint.org. Teams will weigh out the first week of January, 2017, and those who maintain their starting weight or lost weight during the holiday season will be entered into a drawing for prizes.

Cheap Seats TEN YEARS AGO

November 15, 2006 The Parkersburg Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting for Wood Vision Clinic last Wednesday. Parkersburg Economic Development Director Virgil Goodrich cut the ribbon while owners Amanda and Jarod Wood held the ends. The Woods purchased the optometry practice of Dr. L.L. Brandt earlier this fall. Democrat Bill Heckroth won the Iowa Senate District 9 seat over Tom Hoogestraat of Parkersburg while Republican Pat Grassley defeated Alex Wipperman for the House District 17 seat. On the county level, incumbents Greg Lievens, county attorney, Craig Franken, county recorder, and Louise Squires, county treasurer won unopposed races. Ken Oldenburger and John Zimmerman were elected to the Butler County Board of Supervisors while Steve Latwesen and Gwen Blanchard were elected to the New Hartford City Council. In August, the Parkersburg Lions Club sponsored a duck race as part of the Parkersburg Fun Days activities. The winner of the duck race was Sinclair Elevator, but as is quite often the case they donated their winnings to American Legion Post No. 285 in Parkersburg.

TWENTY YEARS AGO

November 13, 1996 In a heavy voter turnout in Butler County, incumbent Sheriff Tim Junker withstood a challenge from Parkersburg Police Chief Bill McCollum to win the race for Butler County Sheriff. With a vote difference of 56, Junker, running after being nominated by petition, came out of top, He received 3,111 votes with Republican McCollum receiving 3,055. McCollum had defeated Junker in the June primary by 303 votes. The Dike-New Hartford Wolverine volleyball team won their regional tournament and qualified for the state tournament, which starts Thursday at the Five Seasons Center in Cedar Rapids. The girls defeated Osage in three games in their first regional contest and defeated Waukon 3-1 in the regional final. They will play Iowa Falls in the first round of the state tournament. This is the Wolverines’ first trip to the state tournament in Class 2A. The Parkersburg Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a home lighting contest in Christmas. Residents in the Parkersburg Community School District are eligible to win. Please enter by Dec. 7. Judging will be Dec. 14.

THIRTY YEARS AGO

November 12, 1986 Three big pass plays by the No. 1 ranked (Des Moines Register poll) PatonChurdan Rockets resulting in 17 points ended the Aplington Panthers playoff hopes. The Panthers were defeated 27-13 in the UNI-Dome last Saturday. Paton-Churdan has the longest winning streak in the state at 22 straight victories and will meet Aurelia this Friday for the Class A championship. Aplington finishes with an 8-3 record. In the only contested race on the county level, Verne Eichelberger of Greene defeated Republican Herb Freese of Allison by a margin of 632 votes in the general election held last Tuesday, Eichelberger ran as a nominated by petition candidate to win the seat. Candidates running unopposed and elected included County Treasurer Henry Groeneveld, County Recorder Craig Franken, County Attorney Habbo Fokkena and Third-District Supervior Mel Bakker. The marquee lights are back on and the newly refurbished Center Theatre in Grundy Center is back in business. The theater, under private ownership, was closed six months ago but the Grundy Center citizens and business community refused to let it die. Parkersburg’s Irvin Haan has been nominated and is expected to receive the American Farmer Degree, the highest degree awarded by the National FFA organization. The award is based on outstanding agricultural production, processing and service records and demonstrated leadership.

FORTY YEARS AGO

November 17, 1976 What do Parkersburg citizens want improved in their communities the most? They want better police protection and more planned activities for young people. These two items were number 1 and 2 respectively on a list of general community improvements desired by Parkersburg people who completed a community survey last spring. Central Soya Co. of Fort Wayne, Ind. Monday said it is acquiring more than 51 percent of the common stock of O’s Gold Seed Co. of Parkersburg. Central Soya said most of the stock that it is buying is presently owned by J Masel Ocheltree, who founded O’s Gold in 1966 and currently is the firm’s chairman. The Kothe Library Board of Trustees recognizes that there are rules and charges made for the use of the basement of the library building which have not been fully understood or possibly approved by the public. The funds received for the operation of the library are derived by the Parkersburg City Council. These taxes are specifically designated for the library facilities and for no other purpose. The rental charges have been calculated to compensate the library for costs of lights, heating, air conditioning and additional janitorial services involved in use of the basement.

FIFTY YEARS AGO

November 16, 1966 Mayor M.O. Hoogestraat announced Monday that over 5,000 tons of rock has been placed on Parkersburg streets the past six weeks. The cost of the rock was slightly more than $10,000. This is another major step forward in the improvement of Parkersburg streets. The sixth-grade art class is having an exhibit at the library until Thanksgiving, The art teacher, Mr. Urbanek, brought several forms of art to the library, exibiting leak improvements with shoe polish, angle worn designs in various colors, art in corn kernels, aretnal designs on wallpaper and straws. An open house was held at the elementary school on Wednesday with approximately 180 students and parents in attendance. They were given an opportunity to visit the rooms and visit with teachers. Refreshments were served in the all-purpose room.

By JOHN JENSEN Eclipse News Review Even a week later it is hard to comprehend. Never since 1948 … certainly never in the modern era … have the pollsters been so wrong. Then again, if we learned one thing from the recently completed election, it was never to underestimate Mr. … or should I say President-Elect Donald Trump. It was about a year ago that Trump began to gain serious momentum in the lead-up to the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire Primary. Like many Americans, I didn’t think a whole lot of it. Even when it appeared that he might get the nomination I really thought that simply meant a runaway election for Hillary Clinton. Boy was I wrong … we all were wrong. This was a strange election for me in that I voted for one candidate yet fully expected, maybe even hoped, the other would win. I was the most careful I’ve ever been in choosing who I voted for – weighing what are generally Christian conservative believes against concerns about disparaging remarks, and possibly actions, that Trump made against women, Muslims and other minority groups. For the first time I actually took an online survey at isidewith.com that helped me decide which candidates to vote for. I didn’t follow the results completely, though I did for the most part. Even since I was a kid I’ve stayed up late the night of presidential elections to watch the returns come in. I remember Ronald Reagan turning the map red in 1980 in a somewhat surprising victory over incumbent Jimmy Carter and have watched at least some of the returns ever since, though never like last Tuesday. I made a comment during Sunday dinner with Lynnette and her parents last week and printed in my column that I had a gut feeling Trump was going to surprise people. It wasn’t just a comment – I actually meant it – though I did not in any way, shape or form expect to be right. Yet it didn’t take long to realize that I actually might have been on the mark – that my instinct telling me Trump was going to win was indeed accurate. Part of my feeling had to do with the fact that Trump had been surprising people throughout the election. Until the Republican National Convention, it was hard to find people who would admit their support for Trump. Yet they were there … some of them hiding in the shadows … and some of them the type who simply don’t tend to talk a lot about their voting preference. Some of his support in the general election, I believe, came from people who were undecided until the couple of weeks before the election and held their noses while voting for the candidate they felt was the lesser of two evils. Lynnette and I turned on the results after supper, switching between her preferred network for news and mine. The first couple of hours were uneventful … really until results from Ohio and Florida started to favor Trump. That’s when the tone changed. Suddenly a board that commentators talked of favoring Clinton was favoring Trump. To me it was like watching a football game – one team might be winning, but there are ways that the other came back. By the time I went to bed, the Associated Press had called Pennsylvania for Trump, putting him over the magic number of electoral votes needed to win the presidency. As I write this it appears that for the fourth time in American history (and second time since 2000), the electoral college and popular vote will disagree. It’s easy to say this just isn’t right, and there were certainly people upset about that as the results of last week’s election became clear. I ask you, however, to think for a second about what American elections would be like without the electoral college. If only the popular vote were used, people in a state like Iowa, which feature’s the nation’s 30th largest population base, would have little say in who becomes president. As it stands, Iowa’s power in the electorate is only 1.1 percent – miniscule compared to the power of the nation’s most populous state, California, at 9.5 percent. Yet if the popular vote were used, Iowans power in the electorate drops to 0.97 percent while Californian’s power rises to 12.2 percent. Why is this important? Because urban America often votes differently than rural America. According to a story in the Nov. 8 Washington Post, the electoral college was designed to give more populous states more power, though not as much power as they would have if the popular vote was used. It gave power to the states to determine how electors would be selected (with differences such as Maine and Nebraska selecting by Congressional Districts) and it kept legislative selection in the case where no candidate received the majority of the electoral votes. Other than the result of the election, the reaction by some Americans really caught me off guard. At least in my lifetime, I’ve never seen people so upset about an election result. Some universities, including UNI, made counselors available to grieving students. At least one professor at the University of Connecticut even canceled classes to give students a “personal day” to deal with election results, something that even some of my more liberal friends found amusing. Despite what I heard Rush Limbaugh say last Thursday, this is a time for reconciliation … a time for people to try to get along with one another. The direction of Congress will obviously change with Republicans controlling the House, Senate and Presidency for the first time since George W. Bush’s first term in office. My only hope is that they realize their job is to legislate, not mandate. Mandating is what cost the Democrats their power. The United States is home to an estimated 325,005,132 people. Every one of them, whether man or woman, black or white, Christian or Muslim, gay or straight, rich or poor, tall or short, thin or fat ... every one of them deserves to be represented.

Just Let It Be I probably shouldn’t even admit this but every time I go past a field where a tractor is pulling a moldboard plow I cringe!!! So far I have managed to stay in my car and keep driving, but I continually ask myself, “Why?” (Probably should be asking the farmer!) Since so many farmers do fall tillage, I decided to do a little research to see if I could find more pros or cons. The first resource I came to from Purdue University (I only checked Land Grant Colleges & Universities) basically told farmers with time on their hands (and money in their pockets!) to think twice about doing “recreational tillage”. The potential negatives of fall tillage outnumber the positives. In the long-term there’s an increase in erosion susceptibility. The short-term negatives are fuel and equipment costs. IF you think you must do some tillage ask yourself “What’s the minimum amount needed on each field?” The next article was from the University of Minnesota and was written about fall tillage on wet soils. Two areas of concern were soil compaction and smearing. (Thought smearing was more common in the political arena!) Smearing occurs when farm machinery rubs against soil and forms a smooth, compact layer. This layer slows water and air flow; in the spring it results in restricted shoot and root growth. Again, if you MUST do fall tillage in wet soils, limit it to filling in ruts, keep it light and shallow and keep axle loads under 10 tons. Next, I headed west to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Their four most frequently used methods of fall tillage had advantages and disadvantages: • Plowing is best suited for poorly drained soils, but it causes major soil erosion. • Chiseling results in less winter wind erosion from roughened surfaces, but it has little erosion control. • Disking creates less erosion and has more residue, but it destroys the soil structure. • No-till has excellent erosion control, but has a greater reliance on herbicides. Finally, from Iowa State University Extension & Outreach came a study on “Fall versus Spring Tillage”. The two main considerations for making any tillage decision are soil conditions and management. According to the authors of the study, Mahdi Al-Kaisi and Mark Hanna, if tillage is absolutely necessary, fall tillage is a better option than spring because soil moisture is below field capacity, there’s less chance for soil compaction and the soil temperature is suitable. Bottom line according to experts is once harvest is completed, there’s really no advantage to doing fall tillage. It is far better for the soil, environment and pocketbook to let the fields remain in a harvested condition over the winter. Wildlife thanks you. The soil thanks you. I thank you. JUST LET IT BE!

A-P Middle Schoolers take part in Iowa Kindergarten Youth Straw Poll Corner By JOHN JENSEN

Elena My name is Elena and I am six years old. I have one older sister and one older brother. I also have a little sister. Some of my favorites are: pink, Easter, hot chocolate, and Cinderella. When I am at home I like to swing on my swing set. When I am at school I like to go to recess and play house with my friends. One thing I have learned in Kindergarten is that when leaves lose their chlorophyll that is when they change their color. This year I am thankful for having friends that play with me. When I grow up I want to be an elementary teacher.

Eclipse News-Review APLINGTON — A pair of Aplington –Parkersburg Middle School students had a special place in the recently-completed Iowa Youth Straw Poll. Seventh-graders Laynee Orent and Elena Mulder were in Des Moines as the results came in and were part of a Facebook live stream during the event. The two, who are students in Patty Hoff’s social studies class, were selected to participate in a contest. Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate was also part of the event. “We participated by posting a social media post,” Mulder said. “I posted on Instagram, saying why we wanted to go down and help with the straw poll results.” Mulder said she wanted to go because it was important to show that young votes count and that they have a say in the election. Orent, who posted on Facebook, said her post was about how it would be cool to go down to Des Moines and be part of the event. The students took part in a question and answer session with Pate, with the Secretary asking students about their thoughts on the election and why it was important. “We’ve always been involved with the election because we’ve always talked about it in social studies,” Mulder said. “(Mrs. Hoff) told us

Both said their parents had an impact on which candidates they favored, though they have also been able to come to some of their own conclusions.

“My mom had a different side than my dad,” Orent said. “I actually liked Trump better.” Orent said the straw poll helped analyze how students feel about the election. Statewide results favored Donald Trump by 10 percent over Hillary Clinton in the presidential race and both Senator Chuck Grassley and District 4 Representative Steve King by even wider margins. More than 250 schools and more than 57,000 students participated in the poll.

Shell Rock author to speak about newest book Linda Betsinger McCann will be speaking on her newest book, The Civilian Conservation Corps in Northeast Iowa, at the Denver Library on Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 7 pm. She hopes to have copies of the book, but will presell them and deliver before Christmas if she does not have the actual book. The CCC was a federal organization

that operated between 1933 and 1942, and was for young men, who could not find jobs. These were the Depression years, and everyone was looking for work. These young men had no experience, so they could join the CCC, go to a camp, and work on conservation or soil erosion projects. Many of state parks had work done by the CCC.

o h c S h g i H n Attentio

Linda was able to speak with men who worked for the CCC, and she shares their memories and experiences in her book. Linda is now researching in southeast Iowa, and plans to finish the state with this aspect of history. Linda is also the author of the Vanished Towns of the Cedar Valley series. She continues to research in counties

on this. Her Floyd and Cerro Gordo books may be published next year. She is also the author of Prohibition in Eastern Iowa. Linda enjoys speaking to libraries, organizations and schools. She may be reached at losttownsofiowa@gmail. com

Saturday, November 19, is International Games Day! Stop in at the library and ask to use one of our many games, available for ‘in-house’ use. We have Jenga, Connect Four, Charades, Spot It, Trouble, Checkers, Sequence for Kids, and more. “National Games Day was started by Jenny Levine and Scott Nicholson in 2007. This free event grew out of an idea to attempt to set a world’s record for the number of people playing the same game at the same time at libraries around the world. National Games Day became International Games Day (IGD) in 2012 and has grown to include events on all seven continents. Even today, it is still raising awareness of games and gaming in libraries to publishers and the public. This event has become a valuable way for libraries and their communities to join together and engage in play on or near the third Saturday of November each year.”-International Games Day website.

Briefly. Local church collecting gift-filled shoeboxes for needy children PARKERSBURG — The Parkersburg Christian Reformed Church will serve as a collection site this year for the Samaritan’s Purse project Operation Christmas Child—the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind. During National Collection Week, Nov. 14 – 21, residents are invited to donate shoe boxes filled with school supplies, hygiene items, notes of encouragement and fun toys, such as a doll or soccer ball — for Operation Christmas Child to deliver to children in need around the world. This year, Parkersburg and other participating churches hope to contribute more than 18,225 shoebox gifts toward the 2016 global goal of reaching 12 million children. “The shoebox gifts donated by Parkersburg volunteers at these dropoff locations will shine a light of hope to children living in poverty overseas,” said Regional Director Nicole Sheldon. “Anyone is welcome to pack a shoebox and help a child facing difficult circumstances to feel loved and not forgotten.” Dropoff hours for shoeboxes are Monday, Nov. 14 through Friday, Nov. 18 from 2 to 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 20 from 3 to 6 p.m. and Monday, Nov. 21 from 8 to 11 a.m. The church is located at 807 Grant Street in Parkersburg. For more information contact the church, 319-2461174 or Angie Meester, 319-240-7708.

Veteran’s Day from page 1 “She stood a little taller when the Pledge of Allegiance was spoken and didn’t understand why some people didn’t put their hand over their heart, or why they laughed and giggled at the national anthem as it played,” she said. “She was quite aware, as a young girl that her father sacrificed his home, his family, his friends, his hobbies, his everything to go spend years upon years in 130-plus degree weather, sandstorms, port-o-potties or hole, too many MRE’s, and sometimes a week without a shower.” She talked of how the little girl’s dad didn’t come home the same after his fourth deployment. And about how her mom helped her through the difficulty. “Her mother was patient and kind and loving and told her that no matter what, they would love him and be quiet and allow him his space,” Frey said. “She promised the young girl that no matter what, they would continue to be the proud family to serve that they were.” It wasn’t until the end of Frey’s speech that she told those gathered who the little girl was … that it was her … and that her Dad recently told the family that he would soon be deploying again. “We were quiet for a while,” she said. “We continued to eat our supper. Words didn’t need to be spoken. Each of us, I know, were thinking how crazy it is that he has to do yet another tour overseas. Five tours. Five years without my dad. He couldn’t be here today, as he is doing leadership train-

ing in preparation for this upcoming deployment. He is, however, watching the live stream, so hey Dad, I love you, and can’t wait for you to come home!” PETERSEN’s SPEECH WAS ABOUT going through her everyday routine while soldiers far away were having a much more difficult life. “When a man or woman leaves home to serve, not only are their morning routines changed, but their entire lives,” she said. “These veterans here with us today left the familiar society we live in, and plunged into a unknown culture. Not only a culture shock, but some also had to adjust to harsh climates. Grueling physical labor and homesickness also taunted the soldiers. Yet they still pushed on. So how do I show my appreciation to the people who sacrificed all of this for me to live the life I do today? She also talked about not only verbally expressing gratitude to soldiers, but showing it. She echoed the words of President John F. Kennedy, who said “As we express our gratitude we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” The ceremony featured patriotic music and closed with a salute to all veterans and those who love them with the playing of songs for each service branch. The annual ceremony with assembled by the A-P Honor Society and opened with a free breakfast for veterans.

The 2016 Meritorious Service Award went to Keith Kalkwarf. We thank Keith for his generous contribution to Butler County 4-H. He has supported our 4-H’ers in a unique way. Keith has been an asset to the swine show for many years. Each year he donates his time and his truck to haul our hogs to Hormel in Austin, MN. While this could be a trip that cuts into the profit of hog exhibitors, Keith has willingly covered this cost. He shows up to the

H. Danforth, founder of the Ralston Purina Company in St. Louis, who challenged young people to achieve their highest potential and to influence others through lives of service.

fair every year, with his truck and a smile on his face. The 2016 Honorary Award went to Susan Schrage. Sue has become an invaluable asset to Butler County 4-H for her 12 years of service as a club leader of the Butler County Young Riders club and for her many years as the horse superintendent. While Sue was not in 4-H, her daughter, Andrea, was an active member. Sue was instrumental in renovating the horse barn at the fairgrounds so exhibitors could stall their horses during the fair. We also admire her ability to organize a horse show, adapt it with the weather, and make sure 4-H’ers have a great experience showing horses at the Butler County Fair. Sue is always organized and makes sure the members of her club are aware of all that 4-H has to offer. She does all of this with an enthusiastic attitude and a heart willing to give all it can for the youth in Butler County 4-H! Thank you to all these fantastic 4-H adult volunteers! We appreciate all of YOU!!

ences. Freshman attendee Kolbi Rice said when asked about the experience, “National convention was a great experience. We got to meet many new people, participate in a lot of fun activities and listen to some very influential speakers.” Rice went on to say, “My favorite speaker was swimmer, Diana Nyad. She spoke to us about having determination and I learned a lot from listening to her story. I would encourage all FFA members that have not attended convention to do so. It is an experience I will never forget.” This year’s convention theme was “TRANSFORM purpose to action” and our members had a great fun-filled week doing just that!

Garden calendar keeps home bright and beautiful AMES – A beautiful garden isn’t the exclusive domain of the outdoors. While flowering plants have a limited growing season outdoors, the 2017 Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Garden Calendar showcases plants that can keep a home bright and beautiful throughout the year. The 2017 Garden Calendar is titled ‘Indoor Flower Power’ and will help brighten a home with photos and information about different indoor flowering plants. “While most house plants are basically foliage plants, the ones highlighted in the calendar will help keep homes in bloom from spring until winter,” said Richard Jauron, horticulture specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. “Some of the plants like the Thanksgiving cactus are permanent while other plants like the poinsettia

are temporary that are bought in the winter and enjoyed for that season.” The photos are timed to the month when the plants would be blooming in the home, with information about each flowering plant included. Each month also features garden tips that are appropriate for that time of the year. “It’s a very attractive garden calendar with helpful tips that people should find as a nice addition to their home,” Jauron said. The large calendar grid offers space to plan and take notes on planting, plant growth, problems, harvest totals and other information. Contact information and locations of all 100 ISU Extension and Outreach country offices are listed to easily request help from ISU Extension and Outreach horticulture experts and resources.

Library Awards By ERICA DANIEL In October the A-P High School Library had a few fun contests! For one contest, the librarians created strips of text from a specific book and students had to guess the title. Because it was for October, the chosen book was a thriller. Jack Maitland was the winner with the correct guess of IT by Ste-

phen King. The second contest was to win a painted pumpkin. Kelly Etjen, a paraeducator at A-P High School, donated a pumpkin that she had painted and students could put their name in a drawing to win. Ivy Nolte was the winner of the pumpkin drawing. The winners were drawn on October 28th. Congratulations Jack and Ivy!

Reasons for Having Faith ... The Question of Miracles Part Five of a Seven-Part Series What about miracles? Are they for real? Can our belief in a cause and effect universe allow for miracles? Laws of nature are generalizations about how things have been observed to uniformly happen. When one believes in God, it seems only natural to state that God’s regular patterns of acting in nature are what we call natural laws. A miracle is an exception to this uniformity of the way nature functions. Insisting that God is bound by the laws of cause and effect would leave no room for Him to act in a personally responsive way. He would be relegated to being an observer as the wheels and gears of cause and effect that He created churn away. If God created natural laws then it stands to reason that He is not bound by them. A miracle is not an event without a cause; the cause is God. If God is willing to override His laws of nature and do the miraculous, why doesn’t He do it more often and be even more obvious about it? To put it another way, if God really wanted everyone to believe in Him and have a relationship with Him, why doesn’t He show Himself more clearly? Perhaps some people could be convinced if God made Himself more obvious, but He doesn’t want to compel belief in Him and a relationship with Him; He wants it to be voluntary. If God were to impose Himself on us, there would be little or no free choice. That God seems hidden is God’s way of giving us the space we need to make the choice to believe in Him and come to Him. Are miracles possible? There may not be enough evidence to compel belief, but there’s enough evidence to make belief compelling! “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6)

BY SHANNON RIES

It is a great privilege to be able to help young students at the school as a volunteer. To have the trust of the teachers and staff, parents, and children carries a lot of weight with it and I want to do all that I can to honor their trust in me. Plus, on top of all the learning and mentoring, I have to admit that I simply have a lot of fun still hanging out with youth. Last Thursday was one of those special times that come along every so often. I found out that the fifth- and sixth-grade split class which I help with was going on a field trip to Chicago to visit the Museum of Science and Industry. I went there many times when I was in the city working, on trips with the school or with the youth ministry, or simply going there alone. It is thrilling and hands on, with so much to absorb that one day is not enough to do it all in. So I asked the teacher if she needed any more chaperones and she was glad that I asked.. This is what she was looking for - a few adults who would help lead and in whom she could place her trust. I was given six girls and two boys and I told them that they just had to stick sort of close within my sight because there were going to be other schools there as well. The museum was packed with students actually. As we went from exhibit to exhibit, they wrote down different facts and information in their logs which was part of their trip’s work. We saw old antique cars, a live tornado happening right in front of us (which one of my girls got to step into as an example and have her hair lifted and feel the elements on her skin), the submarine from WW2 which was captured from the Germans, and a real John Deere combine and huge tractor which they could climb up into, along with so much more. It was a great day. This trip was just a small part of opening up their eyes to the world around them and showing them their potential in what is available to them. We live in a vast world with many wonders which God wants to reveal Himself through. On this Thursday, with these eight kids that I was leading, He did just that.

She has great work ethic and has definitely put a lot of time and effort into the sport. … Winona State’s lucky to have her.” Mohwinkle will continue to hone her volleyball skills as part of the Iowa Smash

Dike-New Hartford fends off Union for 12th state volleyball title By JAKE RYDER Mid-America Publishing CEDAR RAPIDS – Sydney Petersen didn’t want to go five sets again. But the Dike-New Hartford volleyball team was on the ropes and in need of one last haymaker to fend off a conference foe from Union. With a diverse attack and a strong block, the Wolverines did just that, winning the Class 3A state volleyball championship in four sets at U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids on Friday evening. Dike-New Hartford won its 12th title in school history, and the fifth in the last six seasons, with scores of 25-18, 25-11, 23-25, 27-25. The Wolverines also join Mount Vernon as the only two schools to win volleyball titles in three different classifications. Sydney Petersen and Madison Lavenz were named to the 3A All-Tournament Team while Sydney’s twin sister, Baylee Petersen, was named the All-Tournament Team Captain. “I was thinking, we’re closing it out in four. We’re going to come back and win this,” Sydney Petersen said. “We’ve been doing drills where we were down 22-19 and had to come back so coaches have been preparing us for this.” Union had bested Dike-New Hartford earlier this season, winning a five-set clash on Oct. 4 in North Iowa Cedar League East action. The win propelled the Knights to the top spot in 3A, which is where they finished the season in the final volleyball rankings, one spot ahead of the Wolverines. In the championship rematch, the Knights were up 23-18 on Dike-New Hartford in the fourth set before an incredible rally brought the Wolverines the win and sent out Dike’s six seniors with one more state championship. “I’m just feeling mixed emotions right now,” Wolverines senior Madison Lavenz said in a post-match interview. “Happy, excited, I was crying for a little bit. It’s just a really great, indescribable feeling.” Baylee Petersen led the Wolverines offense with 20 kills, one of four Wolverines with at least 10 kills, joining Madison Lavenz (14), Haleigh Durnin (11) and Amber Rickert (10). Union’s Megan Hudson countered with 17 kills to lead the Knights. After the first two sets, and especially a dominant 25-11 performance in the second set, it looked like the Wolverines would cruise to another state title. But Union, in search of its first

volleyball title in school history in its sixth state appearance in the last seven seasons, came out firing in the third set. Still, the Wolverines looked poised to salt away the feisty Knights with a 21-18 lead late in the set. But the Knights came roaring back with five unanswered points, and though the Wolverines rallied to tie the match at 23-all, Hudson slammed down the next two kills and forced the fourth set. “They started passing better and got their hitters in system,” Baylee Petersen said. “They were putting the ball down when they needed to.” In the fourth set, Union rode a wave of momentum to a 23-18 lead. But the Wolverines weren’t done yet. They scored five straight and then forced their first match point of the night on the ensuing rally point after Union’s final timeout, taking a 24-23 lead. Peyton Parker tied it for Union at 24-24 and Madison Lavenz put the Wolverines back up by one. But the ensuing serve went into the net and it went 25-25. Then it was Rickert’s turn, placing a kill behind Union to make it 26-25. When Union went for their next attack to fight off Dike’s third match point, Rickert and Madison Hedges went up and got their biggest block of the season, and the celebration was on. “You want to finish the game you’re on and win the game as quick as possible,” Baylee Petersen said. “You don’t want to go into five because you never know who’s going to win. “I don’t know how to explain it right now, it’s just so unreal right now.” For Lavenz, asked to switch sides of the net as a left-side hitter following the season-ending injury to freshman Morgan Weber just prior to the postseason, it boosted her game to the next level. She stepped up to help keep the team on track and is now a state champion and an all-tournament team selection in her senior season. “It’s that much sweeter because our team is so special,” Lavenz said. “We get along so great and getting a victory with them is an amazing feeling.” For Lavenz, Durnin, Emma Eden, Sydney Lage, Emily Purdy and Morgan Marx, this is a senior year to remember for the Wolverines. “They were all here with us as freshman and sophomores when we won it and also when we lost that heartbreaking one to Sumner-Fred,” Harms said. “To come back this year and win a championship in their senior year is tremendous, it’s very special for

them.”

The Road to the Championship DIKE-NEW HARTFORD 3, CARROLL KUEMPER 0: To get to the state title game, the Wolverines dug their way out of a formidable Carroll Kuemper block and had the right attacks at the right time to sweep the Knights in the semifinal round on Thursday afternoon. After putting down seven blocks against Davenport Assumption on Wednesday, Kuemper only blocked Dike-New Hartford for points on four occasions, a total the Wolverines were able to match while also putting down a remarkable 12 team ace serves. Madison Lavenz had 12 kills and a team-high six ace serves. Sydney Petersen had 17 digs to lead the Wolverines’ defensive effort. With three girls on the roster at 6-foot-1 or taller, Carroll Kuemper certainly had the size to challenge the Wolverines’ sturdy defense. Even when D-NH went up 7-2 early in the first set, Kuemper battled back to stay within range of the Wolverines to the very end. That was the pace of play from then on, with the Knights doing just enough to keep it close but the Wolverines’ superior back-row and blocking efforts winning out. “That’s just kind of our attitude,” Baylee Petersen said. “Nothing’s going to hit the ground, and we’re going after every ball. We just have to keep that attitude the whole game.” DIKE-NEW HARTFORD 3, NORTH POLK 1: The Wolverines’ state journey got off to an unexpected start when North Polk took advantage of several errors for a 25-23 first-set victory. D-NH made more than enough adjustments to stay competitive, getting out the early jitters with back to back 25-18 wins in sets two and three and finishing off North Polk with a 25-22 victory to seal the triumph in the state quarterfinal. Baylee Petersen accounted for 19 kills and Madison Lavenz chipped in 14 kills against North Polk. Sydney Petersen had 26 digs and the Wolverines, as a team, put down seven ace serves. “We had some nerves coming in,” Dike-New Hartford’s Baylee Petersen said. “Once that first game was over we had to start playing like ourselves, and hopefully keep getting better as the game goes on.”

Sports Wolverines football defies odds, finishing in final 4 By JAKE RYDER Eclipse News-Review CEDAR FALLS – When the DikeNew Hartford football team’s season came to an end last Saturday, the discussion was about the journey rather than the final destination. The Wolverines feel they answered a question that dogged them after losing their first two games of the season following an 11-2 run in 2015: Was this team good enough to get to the Dome? On the shoulders of the state’s alltime leading rusher, part of a talented senior class that had to up their game when the previous year’s senior class left big shoes to fill, the Wolverines took the field at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls to answer any nonbelievers. Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley capitalized on a rash of rare turnovers by the Wolverines in a 49-14 victory, ending Dike-New Hartford’s season at 9-3 after losing the first two games of their 2016 slate in non-district losses to Denver, a fellow state semifinalist in 1A, and Gladbrook-Reinbeck, who will play for the Class A championship on Thursday.

“Nobody thought we could get here,” Dike-New Hartford senior Trent Johnson said, “especially after the start of our season. And then we got together and just do what we do.” Johnson ran 33 times for 193 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday, completing his high-school career with an all-time state record of 7,653 yards, more than 500 yards better than the previous record holder, North Mahaska’s Levi Ferguson. After the Wolverines forced a threeand-out on BHRV’s first possession of the game, Dike drove 64 yards in seven plays for the first score of the game with 7:10 remaining in the first quarter, a 35-yard run by Johnson where he found a gaping hole created by his linemen and sprinted to the promised land. Johnson’s second touchdown, a 20yard run with 11 minutes, 15 seconds left in the second quarter that responded to a Jacob Schafer first-quarter touchdown run for the Nighthawks, were the last points the Wolverines would score on Saturday. “We were doing what we do always,” Johnson said. Dike-New Hartford was in prime position to go up two scores on the Nighthawks after a Ben Freese interception set the Wolverines up on BHRV’s 35-yard line. The Wolverines marched to a first down at the Nighthawks 2, but the snap was bobbled and recovered by BHRV’s Davis Van Roekel. The Nighthawks were still backed up on their own 6, but got breathing room with big running plays from Schafer and Shane Solberg. Solberg then hauled in a 39-yard touchdown pass that tied the game at 14 with 4:36 remaining in the second quarter. “That’s the turning point of the game,” Dike-New Hartford football head coach Betts said. “If we go up two touchdowns, that’s a completely

different ballgame. When we get to this level, we can’t have turnovers. We hadn’t had many all year long and today they popped up all over the place.” When BHRV took over on downs on the ensuing D-NH possession and then scored four plays later to take a 21-14 lead with only 57 seconds left to halftime, it was insult to injury when the Wolverines fumbled on the kickoff return. The Nighthawks methodically plowed ahead for a Kobe Lutjens touchdown reception from Brett Moser for a 28-14 lead with 16 seconds left. The Nighthawks scored 35 of their 49 points on seven D-NH turnovers – three interceptions and four fumbles. All told, BHRV scored 42 unanswered points to power its way into the Class 2A championship game. “I can’t tell you how great our defense played today,” BHRV head coach Cory Brandt said. “Play after play they came up at big times when we stumbled (offensively). … The coaching staff did an incredible job preparing them all week against a difficult guy to stop. That guy’s the real deal.” The district champion Wolverines, qualifying for state for the second straight season and the fourth time in seven years, go home without the school’s first football title, but leave with a lot of pride. “I’m so darn proud of this senior class,” Betts said. “We graduated a very talented senior class last year and a lot of these kids hadn’t played a whole lot or had experience coming in. … There were a lot of doubters that didn’t think they could do what they did but they ran the table in their district and made it to the Dome. I’m so proud of how they battled and fought all year long.” When Johnson was removed from the game late in the fourth quarter, he only got halfway to the sideline before

he slowed down, bowing his head as he approached the embrace of his coaches with Wolverines fans rewarding him with a well-deserved standing ovation. “I didn’t want it to be over,” Johnson said after the game when reflecting on that moment, fighting back tears. “I just didn’t want it to be over. “That’s not my record. That’s the team’s record, the line’s record, everybody’s record that’s every come through here, everybody that’s ever played with me or been in the stands cheering. It’s everybody’s.” Betts left no doubt that Johnson will leave an impact on this team that goes beyond the record books. “He’s such a great young man,” Betts said. “I think that kind of thing goes all the way down in the school system when you do that. The effects of Trent Johnson will be felt for a long time at Dike-New Hartford.” D-NH 7 7 0 BHRV 7 21 14 Scoring Summary
