Veterans gather for breakfast, stay for music, stories Mira Schmitt-Cash Editor

North Butler Elementary hosted a breakfast and ceremony to honor veterans on Thursday, Nov. 10. The small room was packed with folks willing to chat. Here is a glimpse of the service of some attendees.

Dale Stock, 90, of Dumont, a veteran of World War II, visited with Claudia Squires of Greene over breakfast.

Stock joined the Navy in January 1944, at age 18 and was selected to serve as a medic, caring for the wounded in the Pacific theater.

“I wanted to be a radio operator, but they put you where they wanted you,” Stock said.

He attained the rank of third class petty officer before discharge, which occurred after the war ended with the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan on Aug. 6 and 9, 1945. Dale’s late wife, Claire, was a nurse and served as a Navy cadet, also in the Pacific.

Squires’ husband Mike served in the Army Reserves from 1965-1971, during Vietnam.

Across the table from them were Helen and Kenneth Debner of Greene.

Kenneth Debner served as infantry in the Red Bull 34th Infantry Division of the Army National Guard, out of Hampton, starting during the Korean War, and serving from 1952-1961.

Blake Debner, one of the students who played taps at the elementary program that followed, is their great-grandson.

Kathy Thein of Independence, visited with Irngard (Mrs. Gilbert) Moeller of Conrad at the breakfast.

Thein joined the Army National Guard in February 1999 and plans to stay in for 20 years. She now serves as an ammo specialist.

Gilbert Moeller served the U.S Army, during World War II in the Atlantic theater, specializing as a truck driver and company clerk, attaining rank T5. He met Irngard in Germany after the war. She had been made

by the Nazis to attend welding school and weld in an airplane factory. They have been married 68 years.

Sitting next to Gilbert was Ron Schulz of Hansell, who served the Marine Corps from 1954-1956, and was stationed in Korea.

AFTER breakfast, the crowd funneled into the auditorium for the 9 a.m. program which involved honoring of veterans through patriotic selections of reader’s theater, instrumental and vocal music.

Of note, it was said that when Abraham Lincoln first heard the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” he cried, then requested an encore.

The Salute to the U.S. Armed Forces was played. Only a couple of veterans stood during many of the branch-of-service themes, until the Army song played, then most of the veterans stood.

By Mira Schmitt-Cash John Jensen, MAP Contested races in Butler County-level elections on Nov. 8 resulted in new office holders for Supervisor District 1 (Clarksville-Shell Rock area) and Beaver Township Trustee (New Hartford area).

Reactions were sought from candidates who won contested elections for county-level positions.

SUPERVISOR, DISTRICT 1 In the Butler County Supervis or District 1 race, Greg Barnett of rural Plainfield, the Republican nominee, won the election with about 57 percent to the about 43 percent garnered by incumbent Rex Ackerman of rural Clarksville.

“Thank you to everyone that supported me and took the time to vote,” said Barnett. “I greatly appreciate it and look forward to serving Butler County. I am very excited to be involved in the mechanics of Butler County! There are a lot of moving parts that make the county run and it’s very interesting to understand how each department operates.

There are many great people that work for Butler County and I’m excited for the opportunity to be part of it.”

Ackerman declined to comment.

AUDITOR In the Butler County Auditor race, Republican nominee and incumbent Lizbeth Williams of G reene garnered about 64 percent, defeating Leslie Groen, nominated by petition, of rural Allison, who received about 36 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 … confident but nervous.”

Leslie Groen, who was nominated by petition for Butler County Iowa Auditor, 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. …

“It is always a challenge to win against straight ticket voting in Butler County, so receiving over 2,000 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 RESULTS to page 16

Clarksville man raises questions about accident site, flood mitigation

By John Jensen Mid-America Publishing ALLISON — Questions from a Clarksville resident led to lively discussion at Tuesday morning’s Butler County Board of Supervisors meeting.

Jim Norton approached the supervisors with questions about why a bridge east of Clarksville where a fatal automobile accident recently occurred cannot be removed and also about why the bike path through Clarksville cannot be lowered to reduce flooding problems in the city.

Norton said water backs up at the bike trail, which is located on an abandoned railroad right of way, causing water to back up through the city.

“Why couldn’t that bike trail be started at both ends and lowered six or eight feet real nice and put back real nice at not a real lot of expense, probably covered by the state or the Corps of Engineers … I don’t know who,” he said. “It’s a real simple thing … and you could get an awful lot of volume of water taken care of which comes running across that whole thing west of Clarksville on C-33.”

County Conservation Director Mike Miner did not argue with Norton’s point that lowering the bike trail would help mitigate the flooding issue. At this point, however, he said the reason more steps to mitigate the issue have not been taken, is a simple matter of money.

“Right now the only money that’s guaranteed is to put it back the way it was,” he said. “There’s no money coming from the state or Corps of Engineers

to do any mitigation right now.”

Miner added, however, that the Conservation Board is in partnership with the City of Clarksville and Emergency Management Coordinator Mitch Nordmeyer to see what can be done. He said the bike trail is not the only issue – that there are several issues compounding the problem.

“We did lower it in ’08; we did not raise it as rumored, we lowered it a couple of feet … there were no culverts or bridges taken out,” Miner said. “We do want to do something this time if there’s mitigation money available. If there’s no money available, there’s no way we can afford to rip up pavement and do something different.”

Miner said the City of Clarksville is working with the University of Iowa to come up with a mitigation plan.

“Everybody can be a professional hydrologist after a flood and come up with all their ideas, but we need a professional to come in and look at it,” he said. “The City of Clarksville is working with a professional to have them come in and look at all the things from bridges to the bike trail to see what can be done. Right now we’re not doing anything to repair the bike trail until after that’s done.”

Regarding the bridge, county officials told Norton that there had been discussions with the owner of the property where the accident occurred about the potential to move the driveway. The accident Norton referred to occurred on Oct. 27 and claimed the lives of 41-year-old Jeffrey DeWitt of Shell

Rock and 28-year-old Andrew Bakker of Waverly. A third man was injured in the accident. Iowa State Patrol officials said the pickup truck the three were in was eastbound on C-33 when it drifted off the roadway into the south ditch and struck the culvert.

• BIKE TRAIL: The supervisors approved an easement agreement with Landus Cooperative for property in Bristow along the bike trail. Miner said part of the property that Landus uses is considered Butler County property.

He said with the bike trail expansion the Conservation Board wanted a clear division of who owns what property and what property Landus can use.

Miner added that Landus plans to build a fence between the two properties to alleviate any safety concerns.

“They are able to still use what they need to keep their operations going and we have something on paper,” he said.

Miner said the agreement has been in the works for a couple of years and the sides came to an agreement recently.

Miner said the county had wanted a 99-year agreement for $74,000 for six areas, some of which Landus is going to abandon, though the length of the contract is for just 10 years.

“The price that we wanted we got, it’s just that instead of a 99-year lease they wanted to do 10,” he said.

• PLANT EXPANSION: Lyle Huisinga of rural Parkersburg met with the supervisors about an upcoming expansion of his fertilizer plant, Huisinga Fertilizer. Huisinga said he plans to add another tank to the plant and was told

Linda Hendren of Dumont suffered a stroke this past summer.

Two Juhls and a Gem are hosting a freewill benefit for her and Bill, from 1-6 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 27, in Hampton, at Church of the Living Word gymnasium, 420 1st Ave. N.E. The good news is that Linda has been diligently working and recovering!

Important to prepare younger trees for winter

Contributed by Duane Feltz Allison Trees Committee The Allison Trees Committee reminds homeowners that since all evergreens loose moisture all year long, they and young trees need preparation for winter by digging down 12-14 inches and checking for soil moisture.

Locations near protected areas need special attention. Water out to the end of the branch line, not just near the roots, until the ground freezes.

Remember younger trees are establishing roots and need extra attention the first few years.

About 4 inches of mulch may be applied to conserve moisture and protect the roots from cold temperatures.

Keep the mulch 3-4 inches away from the trunk to help prevent rodent damage.

Burlap may be staked to the windward side of evergreens to help prevent winter desiccation, or “ winter burn.”

Chicken wire may be wrapped around a tree to prevent rabbit and deer damage. To assure success, apply it 2 inches under the ground and

tall enough to compensate for snowbanks.

Young fruit and other “thin skinned” trees should be covered on the south and southwest side of the tree with a tree wrap to prevent possible shattering of the bark when warm sunny days are followed by very cold nights.

The wrap should be removed in the spring.

For pruning all oaks, remember, due to oak wilt disease, to wait until early winter.

For more information on pruning, contact the Iowa State University Extension Office for a bulletin on pruning shade, flowering and conifer trees.

No charge.

Soon it will be time to plan next year’s trees to replace those aging trees, especially ashes, or plant for shade and beauty.

The Allison Trees Committee will again be offering a variety of 6-8 approved species at a nominal cost next spring. Watch the February and March editions of the local paper for the ad and details.

AITC Head Start

THE CLARKSVILLE HEAD START class a had fun time talking about apples when Butler County Farm Bureau Ag in the Classroom Coordinator Ruth Seehusen visited their classroom on Oct. 13. After reading the book “Apples” by Ken Robbins that introduces the students to apples, Ruth helped the students in an activity that showed them how apples trees bloom in the spring, bees pollinate the blossoms, and apples ripen in the fall. Everyone got to make their own apple tree showing the difference in the seasons. (Contributed by Ruth Seehusen/ Butler County Farm Bureau)

Handling and maintaining houseplants during winter

By Richard Jauron and Greg Wallace Houseplants provide much-needed beauty and color to a home during winter’s cold blast, but they do require some special care to keep them vibrant during freezing temperatures, even inside.

• What are optimal suggestions for houseplants in winter?

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help answer your questions about houseplants 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.

• How often should houseplants be watered in winter?

In general, houseplants require less frequent watering during the winter months than in spring and summer.

Watering frequency depends upon the plant species, composition of the potting mix, environmental conditions (temperature, light and humidity), and other factors. When watering houseplants, continue to apply

water until water begins to flow out the bottoms of the pots. Discard the excess water.

• Should houseplants be fertilized in winter?

Fertilization is generally not necessary during the winter months as most houseplants are not growing during this time. Indoor gardeners should fertilize their houseplants on a regular basis in spring and summer when plants are actively growing.

• What are suitable temperatures for houseplants in winter?

Most houseplants prefer daytime temperatures of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit and nighttime temperatures of 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or rapid temperature fluctuations may harm some plants.

Keep houseplants away from cold drafts, radiators and hot air vents.

Also make sure houseplants don’t touch cold windows.

• How can I raise the relative hu-

midity indoors for my houseplants during the winter months?

Many houseplants prefer a relative humidity of 40 to 50 percent. Unfortunately, the humidity level in many homes during the winter months may be only 10 to 20 percent. Humidifiers are an excellent way to increase the relative humidity in the home. Simple cultural practices also can increase the relative humidity around houseplants. Grouping plants together is an easy way to raise the humidity level. The water evaporating from the potting soil, plus water lost through the plant foliage, will increase the relative humidity in the vicinity of the houseplants.

Another method is to place houseplants on trays (saucers) filled with pea gravel or pebbles. Add water to the trays, but keep the bottoms of the pots above the water level. The evaporation of water from the trays increases the relative humidity around the plants.

BUTLER COUNTY BULLETIN Nancy Jensen Butler County Program Coordinator

nejensen@iastate.edu

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

Donald Trump will be the 45th President of the United States of America.

The man who couldn’t be trusted with his own Twitter account will be given the codes to launch nuclear weapons.

I’m still in the midst of processing this. There’s a great sinking feeling in my stomach whenever I think about what happens next. The man who ran against the Washington establishment with promises to “drain the swamp” has already named RNC chairman Reince Priebus as his chief of staff.

There’s also talk of Trump putting a climate change denier in charge of the EPA, a Goldman Sachs executive as the Treasury secretary, and Ben Carson in the Education Department. This is just within the first few days of the election.

So much for ending corruption and cronyism.

So how did this happen? Who do we blame for this disaster in the making?

There are so many options.

FBI Director James Comey is a good place to start. The never ending mystery of Clinton’s utterly irrelevant e-mails was not something Congress needed a highly politicized update on days before the election. Particularly when the e-mails turned out to be duplicates of email the FBI already had.

For all the hype around them, Clinton’s e-mails never produced anything more scandalous than the revelation that the people working for her were kind of snarky.

On that note, you could blame the media. Billions of dollars in free advertising got Trump through the GOP primary. Constant exposure desensitized the public to Trump’s many failings and the spectacle of whatever crazy scandal

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. The authors of the study, Mahdi Al-Kaisi and Mark Hanna, say 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!

he’d come up next kept people coming back for more. A close race means ratings, so they engineered one.

You could also blame Gary Johnson and Jill Stein. In a half dozen states the vote came down to just a few percentage points. It’s impossible to tell whether the third party vote actually spoiled the election, particularly since Gary Johnson probably siphoned off more Trump votes than Clinton, but in a race this close it was an unneeded factor.

You could blame the RNC for letting things get this far in the first place. For eight years they’ve fostered a climate of anger amongst their base in a desperate bid for continued relevance. Non-stop propaganda delivered by Fox News convinced their base that the Freedom Caucus was the only thing keeping President Obama from enacting the apocalypse.

That manufactured anger took on a life of its own, ultimately embodied

by Donald Trump. They could have stopped him in the primary, but instead they turned it into a strange season of “The Apprentice,” with Trump running roughshod over sixteen other candidates that may have stopped him had they united sooner.

Too late now. The civil war within the GOP is over. Moderate Republicans, or the closest thing that passes these days, have lost control of their party to a living cartoon character whose speeches are indistinguishable from a Yahoo News comments section.

Of course, plenty of blame also falls onto Hillary Clinton and the DNC. This was their election to lose and they did virtually everything possible to make that happen. Playing dirty pool against

Brett’s Random Thoughts From the Corner Chair

By Brett Pharo Regardless of who you voted for, we should all be proud of the voter turnout. Both major party candidates received a tremendous number of votes, as did Mr. Johnson of the Libertarian Party. It’s too bad that we don’t get that kind of turnout to vote for candidates rather than against candidates, as I suspect was the case this time.

In any case, congratulations are in order for Mr. Trump. Congratulations, and recognition, are also in order for the first female to manage a campaign that won the Presidency. Regardless of who you voted for, you probably recognize that Kellyanne Conway (Trump’s campaign manager) did a fantastic job. This is a field that has been totally the domain of men in the past, but Ms. Conway broke through that perceived barrier with class and dominance. Well done!

Trump’s win is all the more impressive when you realize what he was up against. He took on the Insiders of the Republican Party, including the powerful Bush political machine, and did so while dealing with a press that was pretty critical of him throughout the primary season. And he won. He then took on the powerful Clinton machine, the Insiders from both major parties, the big money wall streeters, and an openly hostile media in the general election. Rarely, if ever, have the political powers been so stacked against a candidate. And he won. This seems to have been a peaceful revolution against the ruling class.

For many, a Trump win came as a totally shocking surprise. For many others, though, it was not. I’ve never been a big fan of Michael Moore, but he

The Alternative Fritz Groszkruger 4selfgovernment@gmail.com www.alternativebyfritz.com was dead on when he predicted Trump would be the next President back in July and then again in October. The Insiders pooh poohed his prediction, but he was right that Trump would carry the rust belt states and the election, and why. Other analysts, such as Jim Rickards, also were predicting a Trump win. Most of the media seemed to be totally flabbergasted as returns came in and just couldn’t understand how they had been so wrong.

A few did get it. I think it was Chuck Todd that was realizing that they had totally overlooked what has become known to the political elite as “fly over country.” This is home to the productive engine of America, the rural agriculture areas and the manufacturing centers, both of which have suffered greatly from the policies of taking from the productive and giving to the unproductive.

While Clinton was demonstrating the disdain the Insiders, Democrat and Republican, have for the heart of America by referring to them as “deplorables,” Trump was going to the people, listening to them, and connecting with them. The utter disdain the Insiders have for the Outsiders was abundantly evident throughout Tuesday evenings election coverage. Over and over on many channels many of the talking heads stated their belief that Trump voters, or Republicans, or rural people were all uneducated. Very in-

Sanders in the primary left a bad taste in everybody’s mouth. Clinton’s natural instinct for secrecy and doublespeak did little to repair her image.

The fact is that while Clinton is plenty capable, she is not that likable and while that’s an absolutely idiotic trait to prioritize in a presidential candidate (it’s not as though you’ll ever invite her to a dinner party) it is one that voters, particularly Democratic voters, look for and she should have known this.

For all her preparations and plans, she never bothered to articulate exactly what she would do in office or why people should vote for her. Sanders had free college for everybody. Trump had his wall. Clinton’s platform was a labyrinth of scattered policies with no unifying theme. Nothing that her supporters could rally around.

She ran on a platform of not being Donald Trump, which, to be fair, is all it should have taken. But even to that end she failed at exposing Trump as the paper tiger he is. In three debates she could have dismantled any illusion that he knew what he was doing and simultaneously made a case for herself. She did neither.

Hillary Clinton had twice the money, decades of campaign experience, the full force of the DNC behind her, the support of every single living President, and massive electoral advantage.

Donald Trump spent as much time fighting the RNC as he did Clinton,

had a VP that disavowed him, burned through three campaign managers, and was a never ending train wreck of scandal.

Clinton losing to Trump is like the Cubs making it to the final game of the World Series and losing to the LA Lakers. And yes, I am aware that the Lakers are a basketball team.

But at the end of the day, it all comes down to the voters… or, in this case, the non-voters.

Ten million people who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 decided to stay home last week, bringing down our country’s already low participation rate.

You can blame Clinton for running a weak campaign, but at least she showed up for her part.

Those that did vote for Clinton can take a little solace in the fact that you outnumber Trump supporters. The country that elected Barack Obama has not been overrun by an angry mob of nationalists. Once again, we have a Republican President walking into the White House after losing the popular vote (because that worked out so well for us last time).

Finally, we have the Trump voters themselves.

It would be easy to write off Trump’s electoral victory as the result of a wave of bigoted nationalism. Easy, but wrong.

Roughly 59 million people voted for Donald Trump. While racists and mi-

sulting, and totally without any basis outside of the imaginary world they live in. As I said, a few did not present this view, but so many did. What do they mean by uneducated? I think most farmers I know are college educated. And among those that aren’t, I’m pretty sure they are still quite educated. Probably most of them would be quite capable of sitting in a talking head chair bleating out opinions for a few hours, whereas I’m quite sure none of the talking heads are educated enough to do what these farmers do on a daily basis where a working understanding is needed of biology, chemistry, physics, agronomy, economics, mechanics, etc. I’d like to see some of these “educated” folks try to fix their car engines, or design and construct a bridge, or treat a patient in an ambulance or ER, or coordinate a response to a fire, or frankly do anything productive. And, yes, I am college educated, graduating summa cum laude and a member of Mensa, so I do take offense at being called uneducated and by implication ignorant, by the elitists.

Just look at all those uneducated deplorables out in the street rioting over the results of the election. Oh, wait … that isn’t the uneducated deplorable Trump supporters, but the educated, tolerant, caring Clinton supporters showing great maturity and tolerance for opposing views. They are marching, destroying property, and even beating

sogynists certainly make up a portion of that number (the KKK is literally holding a parade), they can’t possibly be a majority. Ironically, the fact that so many people bundled all of Trump’s supporters with the “deplorables” likely helped push Trump over the edge.

For years now, the regressive left has been manufacturing outrageous culture wars out of nothing. Don’t like the new Ghostbusters movie, you hate women.

Dress up as anything for Halloween, you’re a racist committing cultural appropriation.

Micro-aggressions. Safe spaces. Trigger warnings. PC culture has become so insufferable that it’s no wonder such a large chunk of Millennials so necessary for a Clinton victory switched sides. In the age of the Internet, there is no shortage of people willing to let it all burn to the ground just to spite the other side.

Others may actively dislike Trump, but simply disliked Clinton more. That doesn’t make them sexist. Even voting for the guy that sexually harasses women doesn’t make the voter a sexist. It just goes to show how low the bar was.

For many, political correctness had nothing to do with it. Blue collar white males have been used by Republicans and ignored by Democrats for so long that it’s not surprising they flocked around the one guy willing to at least pay them attention.

I’m not sure what they’re expecting. Trump can’t put coal back into the ground or un-invent the microchip that eliminated their jobs. Deporting immigrants and tariffing imports won’t bring manufacturing back, but at least Trump was willing to offer a comforting lie.

Each Letter to the Editor must include: • Writer’s full name with signature. (Photo of signature is OK on an email.)

fellow human beings for the high crime of voting for someone other than Clinton. This is ridiculous. What if’s are always speculative, but I sincerely doubt that if Clinton had won you would see Trump supporters acting this way, if for no other reason than that they would need to be at work to support both their families and their dependent welfare families. But more importantly, though very unhappy with the results, they would have accepted the results. You didn’t see this reaction four or eight years ago from the side that lost the election. Says a lot.

Speaking of adult-like reactions, or the lack thereof, I see some college professors felt the need to cancel classes or exams so that the students could have time to grieve or whatever. Good grief, what a bunch of immature babies we’re turning out these days! Today being Veterans Day, I’m reminded that 70+ years ago young adults were storming beaches on Normandy, Iwo Jima, Tarawa, and other places, and 50 years ago young adults were going through booby-trapped jungles to face the enemy. Today young adults need “safe places” on campus where their feelings won’t be hurt by someone saying something they find offensive, and they are reduced to being unable to take tests due to an election not coming out the way they want. What will they do when they find out the real world doesn’t coddle to their every need. I suppose that is partly the result of being fed a steady diet of indoctrination of victimhood and intolerance being called tolerance.

I was glad to see Obama and Trump are both acting like adults so far in the transition. Good for them.

In other cases, this election was very much about establishment vs. anti-establishment. The government has been broken for so long that they were willing to vote for literally anybody outside of the system. Of course that didn’t stop them from re-electing nearly every incumbent senator and representative.

Then there are the people that will just always vote for whoever has the “R” next to their name.

Regardless the reason, these people are all responsible for what happens next. When health care prices explode again, when we fall back into recession, when corruption and cronyism continue to run rampant, when the rich get richer while the poor pick up the tab, we will know exactly who is responsible.

But what happened on Tuesday, that’s on all of us. The people that voted, the people that didn’t, and the people that built such a lousy scenario in the first place. There’s no one thing that resulted in Donald Trump winning the election.

It was a cascade of failures at every level and no amount of post-election protesting is going to fix that.

Donald Trump will be our president, like it or not. With luck, the damage done will be minimal and he’ll inspire both the DNC and RNC to enact the changes they should have made years ago.

If that’s the case, then maybe this could actually be change we can believe in.

Pastor Charlie Underwood St. John Lutheran Church, Clarksville I have often said I have a high view of scripture, I would like to explain what that means. The way one views scripture determines a great many ideas and concepts shaping our spiritual journey. Our life’s spiritual journey is not one of blind wanderings without help or guidance, but a path illuminated by the light of the gospel, and guided by the Holy Spirit.

“God, who is Himself Truth and speaks truth only, has inspired Holy Scripture in order thereby to reveal Himself to lost mankind through Jesus Christ as Creator and Lord, Redeemer and Judge. Holy Scripture is God’s witness to Himself.”1 What persuades us as Christians to render such a high place to the Scriptures in our lives and teachings? It is the amazing content of Scripture, which is the Gospel-as one writer said, “Christ is involved in Scripture through and through, like the body in its clothes.”2 I do not present myself as a Biblical scholar but as a student of the Bible.

The modern attitude toward the Bible today has been diminished by intellectual arrogance and unashamed skepticism. It is quite clear that such modern views—which were shared by unbelievers in the early centuries of church history—are not compatible with the position of many Christians. Consequently, many people think they can cut and paste their own version of the Bible while ignoring anything that conflicts with their own wants and desires. I call this the Jeffersonian method; where he literally cut out the parts he did not agree with.

The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, commonly referred to as the Jefferson Bible, was a book constructed by Thomas Jefferson in the later years of his life by cutting and pasting with a razor and glue numerous sections from the New Testament as extractions of the doctrine of Jesus.3 Therefore, we need have no doubt concerning the divine authority of Scripture and of our Gospel message drawn from it. And today Scripture still authenticates itself as the only source of our knowledge of God and of His grace. And this authority is absolute and final. What Scripture asserts God asserts, what it commands God commands, what it promises God promises!

Peace and Blessings 1 The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy: The Statement was produced at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Chicago in the fall of 1978, during an international summit conference of concerned evangelical leaders. It was signed by nearly 300 noted evangelical scholars, including Boice, Norman L. Geisler, John Gerstner, Carl F. H. Henry, Kenneth Kantzer, Harold Lindsell, John Warwick Montgomery, Roger Nicole, J.I. Packer, Robert Preus, Earl Radmacher, Francis Schaeffer, R.C. Sproul, and John Wenham. | 2Luther’s Works American Edition | 3https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Bible

Fighting the stereotype

North Butler student works bull fighting on rodeo circuit Kristi Nixon

chroniclekristi@gmail.com

DUMONT – Don’t call North Butler High School senior Kolton Heuer a rodeo clown.

Heuer, 17, has spent the past few years working at what he calls cowboy protection bull fighting.

“A lot of people get the misconception that I’m a rodeo clown,” Heuer said. “People in rodeo, if you say you are a rodeo clown, will correct you and say, ‘no, you’re a bull fighter.’

“My dad, he grew up around the whole rodeo thing since he was 1819 years old. He rode bucking horses and raised bucking bulls and Dad does barrel-man work, too. Barrelman is the rodeo clown, but what I do is cowboy protection. Like, when your bull riders who come off, I have to step in and get the bull away even if I have to take a hooking or anything like that.”

However, when asked if he wears the costume of what people identify as a rodeo clown, including the makeup, Heuer said yes.

“Oh yeah, I still wear baggy clothes, baggy shirts, cowboy hat, stuff like that,” Heuer said. “It started out the clown would do the bullfighting and the clowning, and then they split and you’d have two separate careers.

“I have to work on my face painting; I’ve only been doing that a few years. You get all of the associations. You’ve got the PBR (Professional Bull Riders), (that will go for a) more refined, professional look and the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association), you try doing it old school and keep it traditional. A lot of guys do different things.”

You’ll be able to see Heuer in action on Saturday, Nov. 19 at the Beef Pavilion at the Hampton Fairgrounds as his father, Jeff, plans to put on an indoor rodeo there as part of a Winter Series. It is one of three he has planned before the end of the year (Dec. 10 and New Year’s Eve, which could include a band or DJ after).

Besides that, Heuer hopes to make a return to the Mossbruckers’ Rodeo in Waterloo, one he has worked in the past. He also hopes to go down to Oklahoma City since there is a stock sale coming up in January, 2017.

“They have a cowboy protection match,” Heuer said. “I’ll see if I can get a partner and go down there and work that, win a little money and have some fun.”

Heuer has been around the rodeo since he was six-years-old. His dad, indeed, is what you would have called a rodeo clown back in the day.

“It used to be…it was clowns, I work the barrel to get (the bull) going,” Jeff Heuer said. “(Now) they wear the baggys, some of them put makeup on, some of them have jerseys and shorts. They are going modern.

“If you watch the PBR, those guys are business. You aren’t there to be funny, you are there to be serious, to protect the cowboys.”

Starting out with mutton-busting as a little kid, Kolton had a hard time

Kolton Heuer, a North Butler High School student, meets the fury of a bull during a rodeo while working in Casper, Wyo. Heuer has been bull fighting for three years now. (Submitted photo) staying away. Jeff recalled a story of when Kolton 10 or 11 years old while Jeff was working a show and big bulls were coming out of their pens.

“I don’t remember where I was,” Jeff said, “but the contractor had to throw Kolton out of the arena.”

Since then, he has attended rodeo schools for the past three years.

“Basically, they are three-day camps,” Kolton said. “I’m not getting thrown to the wolves yet. I’m kind of shadowing guys and going to schools. “(I went to) Fort Pierce, S.D., for one, this last year, I got invited back and they wanted me to come and work for them. And there’s a bull rider from the 80s, Lane Frost, he got killed up at Cheyenne up at his mom and dad’s place. They put on a bull fighting school every year and I’ve been there the past couple of years. Last year, I went to Casper, Wyo., to another school and am going out to Casper again come April.”

The biggest rodeo Kolton Heuer has worked he says is the Minnesota State Fair, which is part of the BOA (Bull Riders Association of America).

“Those are the same bulls you’ll see at the PRCA,” he said, “it’s not like the bull caliber is anything different, it’s all the same thing.”

And there have been injuries. But Kolton talks about them simply as a matter-of-fact.

“My first hooking I took was, what, three years ago?” Kolton said.

“In a practice pen. It was getting late at night and it was a big black bull and the lights were low so I couldn’t see him and I just got cut off and he threw me into the fence.

“I just had bumps and bruises from there. When I was out in Wyoming, I was put on my head once or twice and had a horn stuck across my stomach and got a scar from it in a perfect shape of a horn.”

Jeff adds that Kolton made a news highlight reel in Wyoming.

“I had a news interview and then right after, I went out and freestyled a bull,” Kolton explained, “and he cut me off and I got freight-trained into the dirt.”

When asked if he ever considered bull riding himself, Kolton said he

did, but it was short-lived.

“When he was about 9-10 or so, he was thinking about riding bulls,” Jeff said. “We put a barrel around the trees out here and a bucking machine, had bull riding practice and I smoked his butt about five or six times and I asked him, ‘do you still want to be a bull rider?’ And he said, ‘no.’

“You get paid doing this and you can go if you stay somewhat healthy until you are 50.”

Kolton added, “I thought about riding a little bit, but just like dad and everybody in rodeo says, it’s a guaranteed paycheck for fighting bulls. To me, it’s more fun because I’m out in the arena more and I get to spend more time where I like doing it instead of getting on the back of an animal for eight seconds and then I’m done.”

That paycheck? It varies, according to both Heuers. Kolton says some make upwards of $100,000.

“Right now, at the amateur level, if you get $200 or so per or something like that,” Jeff said, “you start working your way up the ladder and everybody starts taking notice of the kid, then some get $1,000-$1,500 per.”

Kolton adds, “Other guys, they are going to, like, Houston, Fort Worth and they are working…I think Houston is a $2,800 purse in 30 days.

They are working a show or two everyday for a month, you just keep going.”

And Kolton’s goal he says is to make himself better as much as he can until he makes bull fighting his career and stay around rodeo as long as he can. He points out long-time Iowa PRCA rodeo contractor, Bob Barnes, who was active in rodeo until his death at 84. Jeff said most bullfighters move on to become contractors.

“There is always different aspects of the sport where you can keep continuing to be around it,” Kolton said.

“If worst comes to worst, you can always sit in the stands and watch, too.”

Rodeo is it for Kolton. He doesn’t compete in high school athletics, but what he does he says is definitely athletic.

“People get the misconception that

you need to be like, fast, it’s not like speed,” Kolton said. “You’ve got to be just a little quick or light on your feet. There’s been some people who I’ve seen around rodeo who are bigger people. Me? I’m 185 pounds and 6-foot-5 and I’m on the tall side compared to some people. A lot of people are 5-6 to 6-2 range. Everybody’s got athleticism, it’s just the thing about it.

“If you get cut down, you wait for your partner to come take the bull off of you or you have to work your way out of it yourself.”

Kolton Heuer points to PBR bull fighter Frank Newsom as one of his biggest mentors. Newsom suffered a concussion, facial lacerations and a slightly-torn MCL in January in Oklahoma City. Later he had to have surgery to fuse his C5 and C7 vertebrae when he started to lose feeling in his arms from the incident.

“Unlike football or whatever, something goes wrong or a tackle is made, the whistle blows, play is over,” Jeff Heuer said, “but he has no whistle. He (the bull) keeps coming. If the contractor hired two bull fighters, it doesn’t matter – get up.

You’re paid to fight, unless your leg fell off or you are bleeding from the mouth down or something, you have obligations.”

There are good and bad things about it, Kolton says.

“My favorite part is just being around the whole rodeo aspect, the family you get from it, the friends you meet,” Kolton said. “Fighting the bulls and loving the sport really.

It keeps you going.

“The least favorite part as a bull fighter is seeing a cowboy get hurt, kind of puts a damper on it. You want to be out there to protect them, but there are always going to be instances where you can’t. Something happens and you just can’t get there quick enough. You just start kicking yourself a little bit.”

He’s open to questions from anyone who finds out he fights bulls.

“If they have questions, go ahead and ask what it’s like,” Kolton said, “and if they think I’m crazy, I love it and I’m not going to change and they can’t really tell me any different thing.”

Franklin The American Cancer Society Chorale Christmas Great American Smokeout, Nov. 17 Concert set Dec. 4 1/3 of all cancer related deaths in Iowa due to tobacco An estimated 5,100 Iowans die from tobacco-related illnesses annually – 1,770 from lung cancer alone, which are reasons why the fight against big tobacco continues strong in the state.

Every year since 1976, the third Thursday in November marks the American Cancer Society’s “Great American Smokeout,” a day when smokers are encouraged to put down all tobacco products and formulate a plan to quit tobacco for good. This year the effort continues to focus on youth.

“To get young people to not ever start continues to be a challenge throughout Iowa,” said Sarah Foster, of the American Cancer Society. Estimates show 14 percent of Iowa high school students smoke and 2,100 Iowa kids will become smokers this year alone.

The dangers of smoking cannot be overstated. A recent study from the American Cancer Society found that smoking cigarettes contributed to more than one in four cancer deaths in the United States. The analysis also found that the impact of smoking varied con-

siderably by state, reflecting the effectiveness of tobacco control policies and programs; for example, cigarettes contribute to 11 percent of cancer deaths among women in Utah but a staggering 40 percent of cancer deaths among men in Arkansas.

Overall, about 40 million Americans still smoke cigarettes, and tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the world. While cigarette smoking rates in the U.S. have dropped from 42 percent in 1965 to 15.1 percent in 2015, cigar, pipe, and hookah use are very much on the rise.

The first Great American Smokeout occurred on Nov. 18, 1976, when nearly one million smokers quit for the day with the help of the American Cancer Society’s California Division.

The ACS took the program nationwide in 1977. The event has helped dramatically change Americans’ attitudes about smoking, helping bring about community programs and smoke-free laws that are now saving lives in many

states. Many public places and work areas are now smoke-free, protecting non-smokers and helping encourage smokers who want to quit.

Today, smokers have more tools than ever to help quit smoking, but it remains one of the strongest addictions known. Smokers often have to make several quit attempts, before they find the method that works for them.

Among those tools smokers can consider: • Nicotine replacement therapy • Telephone and online based support and counseling • Quit smoking programs and support groups • Prescription drugs Nearly 70 percent of smokers want to quit, a 2011 report from the U.S. Surgeon General shows (“The Health Consequences of Smoking—50 Years of Progress”). More than 40 percent said they had tried to quit in the past year. Below is a timeline of the benefits of quitting: • 20 minutes: Your heart rate and

blood pressure drop.

• 12 hours: The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.

• 2 weeks to 3 months: circulation improves and lung function increases.

• 1 to 9 months: Coughing and shortness of breath decrease; cilia start to regain normal function in the lungs, increasing the ability to clean the lungs and reduce infection.

• 1 year: The excess risk of coronary heart disease is reduced by half • 5 years: Risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and bladder are cut in half. Stroke risk can fall to that of a non-smoker after 2-5 years.

• 10 years: The risk of dying from lung cancer is about half that of a person who is still smoking. The risk of cancer of the larynx (voice box) and pancreas decreases.

• 15 years: The risk of coronary heart disease is that of a non-smoker’s.

Public Service Information for the Elderly available to individuals that meet certain requirements.

Medicare Part A helps cover your inpatient care in hospitals. Think of it as hospital insurance. Medicare Part A will help cover your medical costs when you are already sick. This also includes coverage in critical access hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, hospice and home health care. It does not cover long-term care Medicare Part B covers preventative care and is medical insurance.

Think of Part B as in the word “before.” Medicare part B covers the costs before you become sick or injured. Routine check-ups with your doctor are the types of expenses covered by Part B. Sometimes there is confusion as to what Medicare will and will not cover. Medicare only covers 80 percent of the cost for Medicarecovered services. For example, if you are hospitalized and leave with a bill of $10,000, Medicare will only cover 80 percent, leaving you with a $2,000 bill. You will have to pay that bill out of pocket. In addition, basic Medicare does not include drug coverage. You would have to cover your medication costs out of pocket if you do not

have a prescription drug plan.

There are several types of Medicare Supplemental Plans. Medicare Advantage or Part C plans combine your Part A and Part B coverage and act as your primary insurance.

Private insurance companies provide the Medicare Part C coverage.

They typically include prescription drug coverage.

Medicare Supplement or Medigap plans cover the 20 percent of costs that Medicare does not cover.

There are different plans that provide different levels of coverage.

Medicare Prescription Drug or Part D plans help offset the costs associated with your medications.

There are different plans with varying costs and coverage. Speak with a Medicare specialist in order to help you find the right plan.

When you enroll in Medicare or any Medicare program, you should ensure that your doctor accepts Medicare insurance and payments.

Review your plan annually. The annual enrollment period each year runs from October 15 to December 7.

BILL BOHLEN of Allison joined the Navy at 17 during World War II and rose to seaman first class, he told fifthgraders in the forum.

When he first enlisted, he was a little homesick, Bohlen said.

Then he said to himself, “What’s the matter with you? These other guys probably are, as well,” so he jumped up and started visiting.

He kept shop for a commissary first, then an aviation store. He spent 10 months on Johnston (Atoll) Island, an unincorporated U.S. territory in the South Pacific, which was used as a

refueling base for bomber- and fighter planes during World War II. He also served on Ford Island, an islet at the center of Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii.

The Johnston commissary had refrigeration. Bohlen stocked oranges in fridge, which were popular with the enlisted troops, who otherwise relied on dry, canned or preserved food.

“After eating out of cans fresh fruit is a delicacy,” E4 Spc. James Anderson added.

At Ford Island at the aviation store, men had to sign off with him when they took parts.

Once, some guys stole a carburetor, and when the higher-ups blamed him, he was threatened with a court martial, Bohlen said. A civil service colleague vouched for him. Finally the officers

in charge were convinced to inventory the parts the mechanics in the area possessed, which located the stolen part.

At the end of war, he was on a detail to tell the submarines the war was over because they didn’t know.

Bohlen asked how many of the fifthgraders had seen the USS Iowa ship model at the Iowa State Capitol building. He personally saw the actual USS Iowa ship in Pearl Harbor, he said.

NICOLE PRAUSE, of Dumont, attained the rank of E3 in the Army, she told fifth-graders in the forum. She serves in animal care, working with bomb sniffing dogs.

Something interesting she learned at boot camp was that with machine guns, you have to keep changing ammo for a reason — because if you shoot too many, part of the gun will melt. She has also shot a bazooka, for which the

James Anderson, E4 specialist, demonstrates with scissors that his Kevlar vest is stabproof when veterans spoke with fifth-graders (Mr. Vanderloop’s class here) at North Butler Elementary on Nov. 10.

The military is involved in the community as well. Prause has presented awards in the Special Olympics, she said.

JAMES ANDERSON joined the military at age 22 and is now an E4 specialist.

He showed a Kevlar flak jacket, worn on the shooting range, which is knife proof and “kind of bulletproof.”

The “coolest thing I did,” he said, (paraphrasing a student) was to drive a Bradley fighting vehicle, a small tank that he said can reach 45 mph and drive through trees.

He also earned a trophy for fourth place in a shooting competition out of 200 competitors and received a decoration for his uniform.

Trinity Reformed Church (and two friends from other churches) recently took a trip to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky. They traveled on Saturday, Nov. 5; attended a local church service and went to the Creation Museum on Sunday, Nov. 6; and went to the Ark Encounter and traveled home on Mon. Nov. 7. The group of 26 enjoyed beautiful weather and learned so much during the weekend. The highlight for most was visiting the replica of Noah’s Ark. It was so much bigger than anyone had imagined at 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high. (Submitted photo)
