By Pat Racette Steel Ridge Ammunition, the latest addition to the Industrial Park in Allison, is slated to open its doors Monday, Oct. 14.

The 6,000 square-foot facility, about one-fifth the size of a football field, began construction in June, before adding the cement padded flooring last week. Electricians and plumbers are working this week to finish the interior, while equipment is to be installed next week.

Troy Collins of Waverly, the overseer of the project, envisioned the ammunition-manufacturing plant about five years ago. The idea stemmed when market conditions showed a huge demand for ammo, but not enough supply.

Allison Lions to serve Omelet Breakfast The Allison Lions Club will serve an Omelet Breakfast during Harvest Moon Festival from 7:00—10:00 a.m., on Saturday, October 5, at Wilder Park, Allison.

Continued from front “The problem is you can’t buy in big enough quantities to get on the front of the list, unlike Scheels, Cabela’s, Dick’s [and the big chain entities],â€? he said. “So we are producing to make it, and help the guys at the local gun shops and shooters with no ammunition‌I’m excited to finally get it going.â€?

Projecting 20 full-time jobs before the project started, Collins said the number of applicants far exceeded expectations. The company will begin with one shift, before bumping up to two and three shifts by Oct. 28 and Nov. 11. “We want to train them [employees] properly, so we can have the third shift running by the sixth week [Nov. 18-22],� Collins said. “We’ll have about 20 employees and could increase. We’re looking at possible weekend increases.�

Ammunition primarily will be manufactured for handguns and rifles, with .22 and 9-millimeter caliber shells the main focus.

SRA is not open to the public due to federal regulations, but those interested in purchasing ammunition will soon be able to go to their Web

site at steelridgeoutfitters.com to get it.

Ron Camarata of Waverly, an instructor for gun permit to carry classes, is encouraged to see the plant go up in the Cedar Valley after the shortage of ammunition for recreational shooters. “It puts me at ease,â€? he said, “because it means a strength in the economy‌I’m hoping this will bring down the price to go back to where it used to be, or at least stabilize.â€?

At recent gun shows, Camarata said a brick (10 boxes of 50 shells) of .22 caliber shells were selling for $100, which is about $90 more their old cost.

He, along with two other instructors, is hosting a gun permit to carry class Saturday at Doc’s Restaurant from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. They will be taking walk-ins. “A lot of people saw this coming [shortage in rec. shooting ammo], and I’m one of them,� he said. “I bought thousands of shells, so I’m not worried about me. But for my teaching class, I’ve had a hard time getting them.�

SHIIP to Hold Program in Allison for those Losing their Medicare Advantage Plan The Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) will host “Medicare Advantage Non-Renewals 2014 – What are Your Choices?� on Friday, October 11. The event will take place from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the Allison Public Library, 412 Third Street, in Allison.

Each year Medicare Advantage plans decide whether to sign a contract with Medicare. Some plans make business decisions to leave Medicare all together or in certain areas. Your plan must let you know

by October 2, 2013 if it intends to leave Medicare. The notice you receive from your plan will tell you what your options are for Medicare coverage. Your current coverage will end on December 31, 2013.

There are 108 Medicare beneficiaries in Butler County whose current Medicare Advantage plans will NOT be renewing their contracts with Medicare for 2014. If you are losing your Medicare Advantage plan, this program will cover your two choices: 1) Join another Medicare Advantage plan • Contact plans for benefit information • Do your doctors and other medical providers accept the plan? • Run a comparison to make sure your prescriptions are covered 2) Change to Original Medicare • Purchase a Medicare Supplement • Enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug plan You can choose another Medicare Advantage plan or change to Original Medicare between October 15, 2013 and February 28, 2014. Making a decision by December 31, 2013 will assure you have coverage that best meets your needs on January 1.

Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Original Medicare does not cover the cost of most prescriptions. If your current Medicare Advantage plan has drug coverage, you will need to join a new prescription drug plan to continue coverage if you choose to switch to Original Medicare.

Waverly Health Center is the greater Waverly area and Bremer County’s SHIIP sponsor. SHIIP is a free, confidential counseling program provided by the State of Iowa Insurance Division. SHIIP does not sell, endorse or promote any insurance products.

Bruns Named Iowa Environmental Leader Award recipients Allison’s Kathy and Scott Bruns recently were named Iowa Environmental Leader Award recipients.

The couple attended a Hagie Manufacturing Recognition Luncheon where agricultural executives, leaders and stateelected officials, honored them for their efforts in environmental stewardship.

The Iowa Farm Environmental Leader Awards are a joint effort between the governor, lieutenant governor, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and Iowa Department of Natural Resources to recognize the exemplary voluntary efforts of Iowa’s farmers as environmental leaders committed to healthy soils and improved water quality.

A few practices Bruns and other award-winning families in the state implemented included no-till, nutrient management plans, cover crops, buffer strips, variable-rate nitrogen applications, and soil sampling.

Iowa Crops & Weather Report Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October. “Harvest is starting to pick up speed with five percent of both the corn and soybean crop now out of the field. Early reports from farmers show yields vary widely across the state,� Northey said. “It is likely the pace of harvest will continue to increase as the warm dry weather has helped the crop dry down in the field.�

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ ia. The report summary follows here: CROP REPORT Mostly dry weather allowed the harvesting of corn and soybeans to both reach 5 percent complete during the week ending September 29, 2013, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Statewide there were 5.9 days suitable for fieldwork. Other activities for the week included chopping corn silage, harvesting seed corn, and seeding cover crops.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 35 percent very short, 40 percent short, 25 percent adequate and 0 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 41 percent very short, 39 percent short, 20 percent adequate and 0 percent surplus. Southeast Iowa remained the driest with over 50 percent of the topsoil moisture rated in the very short category.

Ninety-five percent of the corn crop had reached the dented stage or beyond, 3 percentage points behind normal. Sixty-one percent of corn was mature, behind the normal 76 percent. Only five percent of the corn had been harvested for grain or seed, two weeks behind normal.

Moisture content of all corn in the field was estimated at 28 percent while moisture content of corn harvested was estimated at 23 percent.

Corn lodging was rated at 71 percent none, 22 percent light, 6 percent moderate and 1 percent heavy. Corn condition was 8 percent very poor, 18 percent poor, 38 percent fair, 32 percent good and 4 percent excellent. Eighty-eight percent of soy-

beans had turned color, 8 percentage points behind normal. Fifty-one percent of the crop had dropped leaves, 9 days behind normal pace. Five percent of soybeans had been harvested, 16 percentage points behind normal.

Soybean lodging was rated at 86 percent none, 12 percent light, 2 percent moderate and 0 percent heavy. Soybean shattering was rated at 86 percent none, 12 percent light, 2 percent moderate and 0 percent heavy. Soybean condition improved slightly to 9 percent very poor, 18 percent poor, 38 percent fair, 31 percent good and 4 percent excellent.

With recent rains, pasture condition has improved and was rated 28 percent very poor, 30 percent poor, 29 percent fair, 12 percent good and 1 percent excellent. Stress on livestock was minimal this week, and some calves were weaned early to take advantage of good prices.

Released on Sept. 24, America is poised to make waves in musical, political and even sports circles (the LA Dodgers are already playing the track during their home games).

America, a song that some are saying could be an anthem of the new century, is laden with a strong chorus, hooks and horn riffs throughout.

With lyrics and music also written by founding member Lee Loughnane, and impassioned lead vocals by keyboardist Lou Pardini, America features the classic horns and rhythms that have captivated listeners for generations.

National 4-H Week Next week Butler County (and every other county in the U.S.) celebrates National 4-H Week. I probably don’t have to reiterate all the positives of the 4-H program to you readers, but I probably will because that’s what I do!

Unfortunately, our 4-H membership dropped slightly in the 20122013 year and we are determined to see that 2013-2014 numbers are back up to record highs!

Our theme for the 2013-2014 4-H year will be “Each One, Reach One� meaning every member from last year needs to actively recruit one new member this year.

We have so many positives about 4-H it is impossible to focus on one or two, but here are two I immediately think of: 1) 4-H is people sharing, doing and learning together in a wide variety of settings from Afterschool to traditional community clubs to special interest clubs, 2) Members get to choose the projects they want to learn about. Gone are the days of the sewing, food & nutrition, home improvement rotation with a “side of photography�.

Of course we focus on setting realistic goals and evaluating our progress towards those goals through hands-on experiences with caring adults. Life’s little questions aren’t meant to be dealt with alone. Leaders and families can all share in teaching members not only practical things like growing vegetables but important values like responsibility

or decision making as well.

The mission of 4-H is to “empower youth to reach their full potential working and learning in partnership with caring adults�.

4-H membership is open to all kids from K – 12 grade without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, disability or sexual orientation.

What can today’s youth gain from belonging to the Butler County 4-H program?

1) Make new friends 2) Develop self-confidence, poise and self-esteem 3) Explore projects that can lead to future careers 4) Improve decision-making skills 5) Work cooperatively as part of a group 6) Involvement in community services 7) Develop skills needed to succeed in the workplace 8) Participate in 4-H activities, fairs and camps 9) Earn achievement awards and recognition 10) Have Lots of Fun!!!!!

No, 4-H is not about cows and cookies, and you don’t have to live on a farm to belong. It doesn’t matter if you live in a big metropolitan area or out in the boonies, 4-H has something to offer YOU!!

Home Country

by Slim Randles When Jim Kennedy uses his big backhoe, a crowd usually gathers.

He’s an artist, you see.

He runs his massive-toothed monster gouging holes in the backyards of his neighbors, putting in their pipes and even the occasional swimming pool, and does it with the grace of a surgeon.

At Bud McFarland’s place the other day, he was there to install Bud’s new septic tank. This was to be a massive septic tank, Bud said, “big enough so if I want to put in a hotel, I don’t have to worry.�

It was a balmy day in May, past coffee time, and the backhoe master was at work. Bud was standing there watching Jim work his digging magic in the backyard, along with half a dozen others, including us.

Now and then Jim would just do something to show off his skill. At one point, when Jim’s backhoe cut through a buried tree root, there was about a foot-long section of root lying alone at the bottom of the hole.

“Hey,� Bud yelled at Jim, goodnaturedly, “firewood!�

Jim grinned and reached his long steel arm down into the hole, gently picking up just the one piece of wood, lifting it out of the hole, and delivering it to Bud’s outstretched hand as though it were the crown jewels.

As we watched, Jim lifted the massive concrete vault of the septic tank and placed it gently in the hole.

Then his helper hooked a chain to the septic tank lid and Jim lifted this into the air and swung it over the hole. But instead of lowering it, Jim stopped the machine in mid stride and hollered at the new septic tank owner. “Hey Bud!� he yelled, “Got any bodies you want to hide?�

The perfect place for a murder victim. Agatha Christie didn’t even come up with that one.

You have to admire professionalism wherever you may find it.

Linda Upmeyer Newsletter Summer festivals have drawn to a close, which are a really fun part of this job. As we settle into the fall season, our attention turns to harvest time.

There are many reasons I’m proud to call myself an Iowan. At the top of this list is the role our state plays in feeding the world. It’s no secret that Iowa’s agriculture industry is the backbone to our economy. Therefore, our farmers care about preserving Iowa’s greatest assets, our natural resources, for future generations to use and enjoy.

Over the past several months, Iowa farmers have stepped up in a big way to do just that. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey recently announced that nearly 1100 farmers from across the state have committed to voluntarily participate in a program targeted at improving Iowa’s water quality.

Thanks to the initiative and leadership of Iowa’s farmers, Secretary Northey, and the Legislature, this past session we passed the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy- a voluntary, science-based approach to improving Iowa’s water quality. As of the beginning of September, 1,096 Iowa farmers had submitted applications for $2.8 million in cost-share funding to help implement new nutrient reduction practices on their farms.

In developing the legislation, our intention was to provide farm-

ers with the opportunity to choose whether or not participating in this type of program would make sense for their individual operation. Ensuring this type of flexibility would allow the greatest number of farmers to examine options that would best fit their needs, while improving our water quality.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture has received applications from across Iowa covering 120,680 acres.

This includes 109,415 acres of cover crops, 7,321 acres of nitrification inhibitor, 2,675 acres of no-till, and 1,268 acres of strip-till. Further demonstrating the broad range of participation is the fact that farmers in 97 of Iowa’s 100 Soil and Water Conservation Districts will partake in the initiative.

I was not at all surprised by the incredible response from Iowa’s farmers in regards to this opportunity. Our farmers are good stewards of the land, they’re conservationminded, and want to do their part to protect our natural resources. I commend them for volunteering for this program and encourage any others who may be interested to contact their local Soil and Water Conservation District office about remaining opportunities.

As always, if you have any questions or feedback for me, please feel free to contact me anytime at linda. upmeyer@legis.iowa.gov or 515281-4618.

New Affordable Health Care Options For Iowans Iowa is a national leader when it comes to health insurance coverage for our citizens. We worked successfully in recent years to ensure all Iowa kids can see a doctor when needed. Now we are making sure every Iowa adult also will have access to affordable health care.

This was a top priority during the 2013 session. Our bipartisan work led to the Iowa Health & Wellness Plan, which will begin providing health insurance coverage on January 1, 2014. Starting October 1, Iowans can sign up for the Iowa Health & Wellness Plan or for private coverage through the new “Health Insurance Marketplace.�

These new health insurance options will: • Make quality, affordable health care available to the 300,000 Iowans who are currently uninsured. • Reduce the increase in health care costs for everyone. • Focus on prevention and improving health, which will help Iowa become the healthiest state in the nation.

Discrimination based on gender or pre-existing conditions is not allowed beginning in 2014. In addition, many Iowa families and small businesses will qualify for a break on their monthly premiums.

If you don’t have health insurance

or if you want to explore your options, go to www.healthcare.gov.

The site will provide accurate, easyto-understand information to answer your questions about premiums, purchasing insurance, qualifying for financial assistance and more. This official one-stop shop will help you review health care options, compare insurance plans and enroll in the coverage that is right for you.

To speak with someone about your health insurance options, dial the 24/7 call center at 1-800-318-2596.

This is a legislative column by Senator Amanda Ragan, representing Franklin, Butler and Cerro Gordo counties. For newsletters, photos and further information, go to www. senate.iowa.gov/senator/ragan.

HHS reports affordable choices offered in new Health Insurance Marketplace in Iowa A new report released by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) finds that in Iowa, consumers will see increased competition in the Health Insurance Marketplace, leading to new and affordable choices for consumers.

According to the report, Iowa consumers will be able to choose from an average of 39 health plans in the Marketplace. Nationally, the vast majority of consumers will have a choice of at least two different health insurance companies - usually more. Premiums nationwide will also be around 16 percent lower than originally expected – with about 95 percent of eligible uninsured live in states with lower than expected premiums – before taking into account financial assistance. “We are excited to see that rates in the Iowa Marketplace are even lower than originally projected,� said Secretary Sebelius. “In the past, consumers were too often denied or priced-out of quality health insurance options, but thanks to the Affordable Care Act, consumers will be able to choose from a number of new coverage options at a price that is affordable.�

In less than a week, the new Marketplace will be open for business where millions of Americans will be able to shop for and purchase health insurance coverage in one place.

Consumers will be able to find out whether they qualify for premium assistance, and compare plans sideby-side based on pricing, quality and benefits. No one can be denied coverage because of a preexisting condition.

Oct. 1 marked the beginning of a six-month long open enrollment period that runs through March 2014.

Coverage begins as early as Jan. 1, or in as little as 100 days from Sept.

25.

Plans in the Marketplace will be categorized as either gold, silver, or bronze. Young adults will also have the option of purchasing a catastrophic plan, increasing their number of choices.

In Iowa, the average premium for the lowest-cost silver plan will be $266, and for the lowest cost bronze plan, it will be $212. The average premium nationally for the second lowest cost silver plan will be $328 before tax credits, or 16 percent be-

low projections based off of Congressional Budget Office estimates.

About 95 percent of uninsured people eligible for the Marketplace live in a state where their average premium is lower than projections. And states with the lowest premiums have more than twice the number of insurance companies offering plans than states with the highest premiums.

Premium and plan options are broken down by state where information is available. For example, the report shows that a 27-year old living in Iowa who makes $25,000 per year will pay $96 per month for the lowest cost bronze plan, and $145 per month for the second lowest cost silver plan, taking into account tax credits. For a family of four in Iowa with an income of $50,000 per year, the lowest bronze plan would cost only $103 per month.

In Cedar Rapids, a 27-year old who makes $25,000 per year will pay $88 per month for the lowest cost bronze plan, and $145 per month for the second lowest cost silver plan, taking into account tax credits. For a family of four in Cedar Rapids, with an income of $50,000 per year, the lowest bronze plan would cost only $77 per month. And Cedar Rapids consumers will be able to choose from among 45 qualified health plans.

The majority (around 6 out of 10) of the individuals who are uninsured today will be able to find coverage for $100 or less per month in the Marketplace, taking into account premium tax credits and Medicaid coverage.

Consumers can get more information through HealthCare.gov, or cuidadodesalud.gov, and participate in an online web chat, or call 1-800318-2596 toll free (TTY: 1-855889-4325) to speak with a trained customer service representative with translation services available in 150 languages.

There will also be people in local communities who can provide inperson help with coverage choices.

Those will include Navigators and other assisters, community health centers across the country, local libraries and hundreds of Champions for Coverage that have signed up to help consumers learn about their options.

Yard and Garden: Plan for Christmas Blooms AMES, Iowa — While gardeners are busy with late summer garden chores and arranging mums for fall displays, they should also be planning ahead for Christmas blooms.

Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach explain how to achieve perfectly timed Christmas cactus, poinsettia and amaryllis blooms. To have additional questions answered, contact the horticulturists at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu.

How do I get my Christmas cactus to bloom?

The Christmas cactus requires proper environmental conditions to flower. Critical factors in flower initiation are day-length and temperature. The Christmas cactus is a short-day plant. Short-day plants grow vegetatively during the long days of summer and produce flowers when days become shorter in fall. The Christmas cactus will not bloom properly if exposed to artificial light at night in fall. Flowers may also fail to develop if the plant is exposed to temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Night temperatures of 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit with slightly warmer daytime temperatures are ideal for flower formation.

In late summer, place the Christmas cactus in a cool location that receives bright light during the day, but no artificial light at night. An unused bedroom or basement may have the proper environmental conditions. To avoid flower bud drop, do not move the plant during flower bud development. The Christmas cactus can be moved and displayed in another room when the first flowers begin to open.

My amaryllis has been outdoors all summer. When should I bring it indoors and how do I get it to bloom?

Bring the amaryllis indoors in late September (before the first frost or freeze in fall). In order to bloom, amaryllis bulbs must be exposed to temperatures of 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of eight to ten weeks. This can be accomplished by inducing the plant to go

dormant and then storing the dormant bulb at a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. To induce dormancy, place the amaryllis in a cool, semi-dark location when the plant is brought indoors in late September. Withhold water. Cut off the foliage when the leaves turn brown.

Then place the dormant bulb in a 50 to 55 degree Fahrenheit location for at least eight to ten weeks. After the cool requirement has been met, start the growth cycle again by watering the bulb and placing it in a well-lit, 70 to 75 degree Fahrenheit location.

Keep the potting soil moist, but not wet, until growth appears.

The other option is to place the plant in a well-lit, 50 to 55 degree Fahrenheit location in late September. Maintain the amaryllis as a green plant from fall to mid-winter.

After the cool requirement has been met, move the plant to a warmer (70 to 75 degree Fahrenheit) location.

I saved last year’s poinsettia. How do I get it to flower for Christmas?

Poinsettias are short-day plants.

Like the Christmas cactus, it grows vegetatively during the long days of summer and produces flowers when days become shorter in fall.

In order for poinsettias to flower for Christmas, they must receive complete darkness from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. each day from early October until the bracts show good color, usually around early December. Most poinsettia varieties require eight to 10 weeks of short days to flower. Gardeners can protect their plants from light by placing them in a closet or by covering with a cardboard box.

When using cardboard boxes, cover any openings to insure complete darkness. Exposure to any kind of light between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. will delay or possibly prevent flowering.

During the remainder of the day, the poinsettias should be placed in a sunny south window.

Keep the plants well-watered and fertilize every two weeks during the forcing period. While poinsettias are difficult to flower in homes, proper care can reward home gardeners with a colorful plant for the holiday season.

The Way It Was

Clarksville Public Library Notes Kristen Clark, Library Director

by Dave Clark

100 Years Ago Summer, 1913 The town council has had a drinking fountain placed on the post office corner; an improvement that will at all times will be highly appreciated.

There was at least one more drinking fountain on Main Street. It was located on the northeast corner of the old school grounds, today, now it’s the post office corner. I didn’t know if this one was installed at the same time, nor do I know when they were removed.

Eight quarts of green paint was put in the wrong buggy in town last Saturday night and should be returned to J. E. Bickley or can be left at this office. I wonder what G-Grandfather Jake was going to do with that much green paint.

80 Years Ago Summer, 1933 The farmers and threshermen in this community all got together at a meeting for the purpose of setting a price for threshing grain, and the price agreed on was 2 cents for oats and 2 Âź cents for barley, and the farmers were to furnish the fuel.

Sounds like the threshermen had a union.�

70 Years Ago Summer, 1943 The most disastrous fire in recent Clarksville history occurred Friday evening when the C. C. Green & Son grain elevator near the Rock Island depot ws struck by lightning and totally destroyed by the resulting flames. The bolt of lightning struck about 9:30 o’clock in the evening and is thought to have run along the high voltage wires into the mill room of the elevator where the fire broke out. This elevator, which was located north of the depot, is often visible in the many old photos taken of the Rock Island Depot. I remember coming into town, after seeing the flames, and watching it burn.

60 Years Ago Summer, 1953 Information found in the upper left corner on page 2 of the STAR: The Clarksville Star; Published every Thursday Official paper of Butler County Entered at the Clarksville post office as second class mail matter.

From Gomer’s Now and Then Column: Have you been bothered with Trombicula irritants recently?

Chances are, if you have been on a picnic, been in the woods or worked in your yard you have come in contact with this pesky little critter. But don’t be alarmed by this high sounding name. It is only the bug we folks call “the chigger.�

Trombicula is a pretty fancy name for a “chigger�, but I have heard them called by even more fancy terms by persons who have come in contact with them. I can attest to that many times over, they always liked to burrow into you in warm, moist places and where your clothes fit tight. They don’t seem to be as prevalent at they once were, thank heavens!!

Oelwein Man to Open Jewelry Store: Royal Perry of Oelwein, Iowa, has leased the store building in Clarksville owned by Mrs. L. E. Dorman. The building has been occupied by Harry Wamsley, who operated a similar business in it. Mr. Perry hopes to have the new establishment open this Saturday.

He and Mrs. Perry and their two daughters, Kathy and Ellen Nita plan to move to Clarksville as soon as they can obtain a house. This jewelry store was located next to the vacant lot on the north end of the Peoples Clinic and was a victim of the 1956 fire. I purchased Lola’s engagement and wedding rings from Mr. Perry in 1954, where she also worked part time.

Fifty-five rural schools, in Butler County, will open August 31, 1953.

Fifty-five rural teachers will be at their respective schools to welcome approximately eight hundred rural pupils who will be returning to their tasks and fun of school life.

The town schools will have approximately 2200 elementary pupils and 1100 high school pupils. It didn’t say how many high schools there were in the county in 1953 but I can quickly count nine. Today, after combining, it seems there are only three, located at Aplington, Greene and Clarksville. Only Clarksville stands alone.

The Iowa State Fair is on the horizon and more than 75 baby raccoon are being groomed for their part in the big show.

The young ‘coons will be one of the main attractions at the Conservation Commission Exhibit Building, where they will be placed a kind-sized cage and left to their own devices. Their bright-eyed curiosity and general deviltry have made the ‘coon cage a favorite of fair visitors in recent years.

Presiding over the fisheries will be the patriarch of Iowa fishes, old Oscar the sturgeon. The big rock sturgeon is now abut 50 years old, and tips the scales at over 100 pounds.

I believe “Old Oscar� lived at the fish hatchery in Devil’s Backbone Park where he was a year-round attraction. I had never heard of an exhibition of a large number of raccoons being exhibited before. I would have liked to have seen that.

It would also be interesting to know what the Commission did with all those raccoons after the fair.

Happy Autumn and enjoy the good weather while we have it.

Those were a nice series of bling announcements at Uplinq (Qualcomm’s bragging party), Apple’s unveilings and Intel Developer Forum (IDF).

But‌I’m not interested in a smartwatch because: • I tried digital and “computerâ€? watches years ago and retired them because I wasn’t interested in the exact time but rather how early or late I was. • If it just tells me who’s calling, who’s texting, why not just look at my phone (the screen is bigger)? • Wouldn’t watch video on it (see above) • They’re all big and ugly but my analog watch is attractive jewelry and gives me relative time Also, I’m not interested in using a workstation (64-bit smartphone processor) because: • I don’t watch movies, play games (that often) on my phone • It’s a struggle to multi-task on my notebook, desktop • Apps that take advantage of the power will be available – later. Doubt if Oracle will play nice with Google to let Android take advantage of their Java. • Phone has to have a lot more memory to take advantage of 64bit – music, photos, video – because you can’t do everything in the cloud.

Sometimes you need to be local. • Will that extra power eliminate dropped calls, keep email/texts flowing? ‌ doubt it • If it makes the phone smarter, will it make the user smarter? ‌ doubt it Both Qualcomm and Intel highlighted small devices and wearables and both are working toward the same objective – companies, products, individuals, things being constantly connected.

It will just take a couple of generations for us to accept it as normal.

Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs showed his newest toy, the Toq smartwatch, which he wants someone to pick up and market with their super small, super efficient chip inside.

World of Cells It’s all part of their bigger plan to develop wireless networks – everywhere – that have 1,000x more capacity than we have today and are built on small cells (with their chips inside).

The cells integrate cellular and WiFi and cost a fraction of today’s tall eyesore towers (think 1,000s of unobtrusive cells for less than one big tower). The network of small cells will also meet telcos’ need to monetize the dramatic increase in data throughput (streaming video, music, etc.).

The network will keep your smartphone, tablet, appliances, wearables and smarthub connected and in sync (hopefully).

Cool; but Qualcomm is all about the mobile value chain so they didn’t stop there.

Jacobs talked about a more ambitious, long-range plan of action that could help the electric car industry get going.

The company is demonstrating roadway wireless charging pads that can be placed on roadways to charge the cars as the zoom past.

Think about it, no more driving like hell to get to the next outlet!

The company’s Halo system taking part in the Formula E race series (sorta’ like Formula 1 only a lot quieter) next year is taking place in London, Rome and LA. Without the ear-splitting noise, the cars can do 60mph in three seconds and reach speeds of 130mph on the streets.

After the race, the pads will stay there to promote wireless charging for your electric car or any mobile device.

The tests won’t deliver any bump in sales for the short term, but forwardlooking companies have to invest in tomorrow to make it happen.

Intel Goes Mobile At IDF, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich had his formal coming out party to show the company not only hadn’t missed the mobile device market but is working on it on all fronts.

To prove the company is determined “to lead in every segment of computing,� he showed off the new ultra-small Quark and Broadwell processors that will power tomorrow’s embedded solutions, ultrabooks, sub-$100 tablets, smartphones and wearables.

For all of these devices, they’ll let manufacturers pick their poison ‌ Android or Windows. iOS? That’s up to Apple.

Intel’s new president, Renee

James, kept the momentum of the company’s mobile/wearable theme going by showing of a portable wearable medical patch.

The patch she showed can monitor your EKG, blood pressure, other vitals and send it all to your doctor.

But it could just as easily be sent to your smart device or computer to help you track your exercise and overall health.

Now that is a bridge wearable I would wear!

Bridge?

By 2025 or 2030, the chip will be implanted (or swallowed), everything will be monitored for you and alerts will be sent to the doctor and your always-with-you/alwayson smart device. My only concerns are those damn software updates everyone sends out at the worst possible time that aren’t quite ready for primetime!

Internet of Things Both Qualcomm and Intel are getting ready (and getting us ready) for the Internet of “things.�

For the past few years, IDC has been advancing the “Internet of Things� concept whereby items will be connected to the Internet to send/ receive/use information. It includes M2M (machine to machine), all of your devices, your home, your car, everything.

While IDC forecasts that the market will be a staggering 80B “talking� devices by 2020, I have a feeling that number is remarkably low.

Just look at the cars of today and the ones that are being developed for tomorrow (including the driverless cars).

And while Intel is serious about playing in the mobile space, Krzanich was very convincing that the company wasn’t going to give anyone a chance to sneak into the space they invented, they dominated ‌ the datacenter.

Datacenter, Cloud To prove it was still the “only the paranoid survive� company, Krzanich introduced their Zeon processors that will deliver 50 percent more performance to meet the data traffic demands and reduced power consumption lowercost datacenter owners/managers required.

Meanwhile, with the PC marketplace in the process of reinventing itself, Amazon’s Ariel Kelman was on-stage at IDF to show “Intel Inside� is alive, well and will appear on your Amazon Web service screen.

That’s not just a marketing coup

by Intel because most of the servers the cloud giant uses are Intel chippowered.

High-performance servers in the cloud–public, private, hybrid datacenters –or in a specific company’s datacenter are a huge and growing market. IDC reported worldwide revenue grew to $2.6B in the second quarter, compared to $2.4B in the same quarter last year.

Because more things are generating/communicating more data to datacenters, IDC found: • 76.9 percent of HPC systems were using co-processors and accelerators, up from 28.2 percent in 2011. • Intel Xeon Phi and Nvidia GPUs are running for the lead in HPC systems • Co-processor systems are used primarily for exploratory uses • 30 percent of available computing cycles were devoted to big data work • Storage is the fastest growing technology at HPC sites • Cloud computing is increasingly used for HPC workloads with 23.5 percent of sites using public or private clouds to crunch data. That tally is up from 13.8 percent in 2011. The upshot with that finding is that cloud computing–helped along by companies such as Cycle Computing–are democratizing HPC systems

2nd Annual College Application Campaign Helps Students Navigate the College Admissions Process

Program to be implemented October 1 – November 1, 2013 at 30 high schools across the state Des Moines, IA., October 1, 2013 – The Iowa College Student Aid Commission (Iowa College Aid) announced today the launch of Iowa College Application Campaign from October 1 through November 1, 2013. It is part of a national effort to increase the number of first generation and low-income students pursuing a college degree or other higher education credential. The primary purpose of this effort is to help high school seniors navigate the college admissions process and ensure they apply to at least one postsecondary institution in the fall of their senior year of high school. The program was piloted in Iowa last year with 12 schools over a one-week period and has expanded to 30 high schools with events spanning the month of October. This year’s participating high schools include: Algona High School Marshalltown High School Audubon High School Mason City High School Cedar Falls High School Nashua-Plainfield High School Central Community Jr-Sr High School (Elkader) North High School (Des Moines) Clay Central Everly High School Northeast Hamilton High School (Blairsburg) Clayton Ridge High School Ottumwa High School Clinton High School Perry High School Davenport West High School Remsen-Union High School Dubuque Senior High School Roosevelt High School East High School (Des Moines) Sigourney Jr-Sr High School East High School (Waterloo) Storm Lake High School Hoover High School (Des Moines) Thomas Jefferson High School (Council Bluffs) Laurens-Marathon High School

West High School (Waterloo) Lincoln High School (Des Moines) West High School (Sioux City Lisbon High School West Liberty High School -moreThe Iowa Association for College Admission Counseling partnered with Iowa College Aid to sponsor Iowa College Application Campaign. Participating schools receive training, promotional materials and assistance in recruiting college admissions representatives and other volunteers who work directly with students completing applications. “Nothing is more important to Iowa’s economic future than making sure we sustain a highly educated workforce,� said Karen Misjak, executive director of Iowa College Aid. “Experts have estimated that almost two-thirds of Iowa’s occupations will require postsecondary education by 2018. This vastly increases the need to make sure every student is taking that first step towards continuing his or her education. We are very pleased to have more than doubled our school participation this year,� said Misjak.

College Application Campaign events occur during the school day to provide students the opportunity to receive help and guidance in completing college applications, particularly for those students who might not otherwise apply to college.

Last year nearly 130,000 students from participating states completed more than 195,000 applications during College Application Campaign events.

More information about Iowa College Application Campaign, including event dates at each of the participating high schools, can be found at www.iowacollegeaid.gov/Highlights/CollegeAppCampaignParticipatingSchools.html.

JH Volleyball Finds A Few Wins, Still Working Hard

By Jasmine Esposito Clarksville v. North Tama Last monday, September 23, the JH girls volleyball team took on North Tama at their home court.

The seventh grade team beat the Redhawks, but the eighth graders lost three close matches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They played really well,â&#x20AC;? Coach Kate Halbur said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team could still improve on communicating and hustling to the ball.â&#x20AC;?

MaKenna Popham and Bailey Myers agree that the team could still improve on talking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;North Tamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh grade team...didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be very well organized.

The Lady Indians came out on top with their third win of the season.

Clarksville v. Northeast Hamilton The Lady Indians then travelled to Blairsburg to play against the Northeast Hamilton Trojans on Tuesday, September 14, losing 1-3.

The Indians lost one of their starting middle hitters, Tayler Maiers, but they stepped up and fought back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think McKenna [Lebeck] has stepped up as an individual, and the whole team has also come together and stepped up,â&#x20AC;? Hannah Faust said.

The Indians didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let up a bit after the injury.

Bridget Ross led the team in serving Tuesday night against the

Trojans with three aces, followed by Mennenga with two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get down, but if we talk to each other and stay positive we play better as a team,â&#x20AC;? Faust added.

Coach Kate Halbur said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This game went really well, we had a lot of communication, but after the injury we seemed to have lost momentum, our serves were lacking a bit, but overall the game looked good,â&#x20AC;?

Change of fortune After opening success, NE Hamilton defeats Indians 3-1

By Kristi Nixon BLAIRSBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Little could stop the Clarksvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball team in its first Iowa Star Conference game against Northeast Hamilton on Tuesday, Sept. 24.

But little could go right after that as the Trojets recovered from that first-game loss to defeat the Indians 22-25, 25-11, 25-13, 25-22.

What changed from the first game to the next? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lots of mistakes,â&#x20AC;? first-year Clarksville coach Heather Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was not being able to finish the third hit, missed a lot of serves, we started to get down and then we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to get out of the hole we put ourselves in.â&#x20AC;?

That continued through the second and third games, but Peterson also said she thought the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mindset improved in the fourth and final game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came back,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did a lot better job of not getting down on themselves, kind of shaking off the bad and coming back with something good. So they did a lot better.â&#x20AC;?

While Clarksville was struggling with its serving, Northeast Hamilton excelled by going 85-of-89 with 12 aces against the Indians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including six aces from libero Jaidyn Timm.

Clarksville took the lead in that fourth and final game on four different occasions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the last coming at 10-9 and tied it at 15-all against the Trojets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Northeast Hamilton was never truly able to pull away never gaining more than a threepoint advantage the rest of the way.

However, an Indian hitting error and an ace serve by the Trojets put the game away to end it.

The loss dropped Clarksville to 3-12 overall and 0-4 in the Iowa Star.

Peterson was also pleased with the fact that the team was able to communicate better in the close confines of the gym in Blairsburg.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gym makes you talk,â&#x20AC;?

Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because the acoustics are so amplified.â&#x20AC;?

In the third game alone, there were 11 combined service and hitting errors committed by the Indians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot of little mistakes,â&#x20AC;?

Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And mistakes that are constant that we need to work on in practice and fix.â&#x20AC;?

Tayler Maiers, one of Clarksvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top returning players from a year ago, went down with an ankle injury during the Central Springs tournament on Saturday, Sept. 14.

She isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t projected to return until Monday, Oct. 7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to do rotations,â&#x20AC;?

Peterson admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been learning to be able to adjust to rotations, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got that. Today they came out ready to play, they were a lot more excited, there is a lot more intensity, they put together the rotation that we really havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worked on in practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good to see they were able to do that, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kind of made adjustments to that.â&#x20AC;?

Clarksville played GMG in a make-up match because of the heat on Monday, Sept. 30 and traveled to Tripoli on Tuesday, Oct. 1 and will play host to No. 2 Janesville tonight (Thursday).

Northeast Hamilton 3, Clarksville 1 (22-25, 25-11, 25-13, 25-22) Attacks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NEH 146 (Andi Anderson 45, Kaylee Massman 33, Taylor Olson 22, Leah Meyer 18, Lillian Chamness 16, Devyn Van Kooten 12).

Iowa Women Landowners In The Cedar Valley Area Invited To Free Soil Health Conservation Meetings In Waverly And Waterloo Oct. 8 And 9 AMES, IA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Women who own or manage farmland in and around Bremer and Black Hawk Counties in north central Iowa are invited to participate in a free conservation discussion focused on soil health, including a field tour. Two meetings will be held with the same agenda, one on Tuesday, October 8, at the Waverly Civic Center, 200 First Street NE, Waverly, IA, and the second on Wednesday, October 9, at Hawkeye Community College, 1501 E Orange Rd., Room 107B, Waterloo, IA. Each meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. Lunch will be provided, and during an afternoon field tour participants will travel to a nearby farm to watch a demonstration of soil testing. The tests will measure for soil structure and stability and infiltration. We will walk a short distance into a field, so wear or bring appropriate clothing and footwear.

Maintaining healthy soil is the key to productivity and environmental health for our farmland. Women landowners will learn at this meeting how to assess and improve the health of their soils through practices such as cover crops, no-till and striptill, among other conservation practices. Over half the farmland in Iowa is currently owned or co-owned by women. WFANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program Women Caring for the LandSM offers a peer-to-peer, informal discussion

format to allow women landowners to talk about your individual farm management goals, facilitated by women conservationists.

In order for us to have the right amount of food available, please RSVP for the meeting you wish to attend.

For the October 8 meeting in Waverly, RSVP by 4 p.m. Friday, October 4 to Ron Lenth, Bremer County Extension and Outreach, at (319) 882-4275, rlenth@iastate.edu. For the October 9 meeting in Waterloo, RSVP by 4 p.m. Monday, October 7 to Michelle Temeyer, Black Hawk County Extension and Outreach, at (319) 234-6811, temeyer@iastate. edu.

These meetings are sponsored by WFAN in partnership with ISU Extension and Outreach, with funding from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division of Soil Conservation. For more information about conservation for women landowners, visit www.womencaringfortheland.org.

Women, Food and Agriculture Network is a non-profit, educational organization formed in 1997 to provide networking, information and leadership development opportunities to women involved in all aspects of sustainable agriculture. Learn more at www.wfan.org, or by calling 515-460-2477.

Trevor Fenneman completed 50 percent of his passes (4-of-8) for 59 yards and a touchdown and rushed for one more, but the Indians found it hard to stop the Tripoli offense.

Matt Negen, who rushed for 98 yards and a pair of touchdowns as well as caught the touchdown pass from Fenneman, also recovered two fumbles for Clarksville (2-4, 1-4 district).

Fenneman finished with nine tackles followed by eight apiece for Dylan Ciavarelli and Mason Lovrien.

Marc Johnson, who finished with four tackles and a sack, also came up with another fumble recovery for the Indians.

Austin Newbrough threw three touchdown passes for Tripoli â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all three to Nick Shinstine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who averaged 35 yards a catch against Clarksville. Newbrough led the way

on the ground game with 152 yards rushing and a pair of scores.

Correction

In the Sept. 12 Clarksville Star and Butler County Tribune-Journal Courthouse News, a sentence was falsely reported. The correct information is below.

Scott Swick, Clarksville, on Aug. 26 pled guilty to conspire to manufacture methamphetamine and possession of controlled substance, methamphetamine. Sentence suspended; ordered three years probation; fined $1,315 plus 35% surcharge, and $480 court costs.

The newspapers regret the error.

Substitute teachers: valuable members What's going on? of the education profession On any given school day in the United States (U.S.), substitute teachers staff approximately 274,000 classrooms. (Source: Substitute Teaching Institute at Utah State University). In fact, it is estimated that the typical student in the U.S. spends over 80 days of their K-12 school career with a substitute teacher.

At a time when expectations for student achievement have never been higher, students cannot afford to lose a day of instruction when the regular classroom teacher is absent.

Substitute teachers should be part of an overall effort in the school to provide seamless, quality instruction for students. Unfortunately, many schools struggle with this issue due to a substitute teacher shortage. This is true nationally, as well as in Iowa. Some states require only a high school diploma to become a substitute teacher, while others require a teaching degree. In Iowa, anyone who meets the following criteria is eligible to receive substitute authorization: • Has one of the following: holds a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution, or has completed an approved Paraeducator Certification Program and holds a Paraeducator Certificate, • Is a minimum of 21 years old, • Has successfully completed an Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation background check and a National Criminal History background check, and • Has successfully completed all the requirements of an approved Substitute Authorization course.

Earning substitute authorization credentials allows an individual to substitute only in a middle school, junior high, or high school for no

By Pat Racette

Linda Vann more than five consecutive days in one job assignment at a time. Certified paraeducators who also have substitute credentials can substitute teach only in the special education classroom in which the paraeducator is employed. This applies to all grade levels, including elementary.

Area Education Agency 267 (AEA 267) offers a state approved Substitute Authorization course.

The focus of this 20-hour course is to provide participants with instructional strategies and classroom management techniques, which allow the substitute to carry out the lesson plan of the regular classroom teacher and provide quality instruction for students.

If you have a desire to work with students and become a member of the education profession by becoming a substitute teacher, contact Linda Vann, AEA 267, Professional Development Trainer at 319-2687695 or via email at lvann@aea267. k12.ia.us.

Consumer Advisory

By Attorney General Tom Miller There’s a lot to like about Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and the many other social networking sites that allow you to post your pictures and videos, thoughts and information about you—and see what others post. But what you post or who you network with can also leave you vulnerable to long-term embarrassment, identity theft, criminals, and unwelcome strangers.

Your Profile Be very careful about what you include in a personal profile. Do you really want to post your address and your phone number? Are there other details, like something as simple as posting your pet’s name or your mother’s maiden name, that a criminal could use to answer a “security question” to access your financial accounts?

Posting and Protecting Personal Information When you post personal information, including pictures, treat it like it’s there for anyone to see—even if you think it’s private or restricted.

Assume that any family member, current or future employer, school administrator, and stranger can see it and post the same information or photo on their site. Also assume that removing something doesn’t necessarily make it go away—it may be impossible. Think twice about posting when you’re traveling away from home, or routinely “checking in” to places that a potential stalker could track. And think twice about meeting face-to-face with a person you know only through online contact.

“Untag” photos that others post of you, if you feel a photo of you is inappropriate. Be sure you understand a social network’s privacy policies and privacy settings.

“Friending”

Are you “friending,” connecting, or providing personal information to someone you’ve never met in person? Are you sure that person is really who they claim they are?

Do you really want people you have never met to see your profile and posts?

Unusual Request from a “Friend?”

If someone you think you know sends you a request through social media that involves money or clicking on an unusual link, it may be from an account that someone has hacked or spoofed (a hacker appearing as your friend). These requests could be “emergency” pleas for money, offers to share a sudden windfall of money, unusual job or investment “opportunities,” or clicking on a link associated with a posting that seems out of place. If you have even a small doubt about the authenticity of an email, check it out before responding.

Careful Clicking, Viruses & Spyware Be careful when you click on links and downloading attachments, even if they appear to come from someone you know. Both can expose your computer to viruses or spyware. Be cautious about downloading attachments. Use your firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware software, as well as spam filters, and be sure to keep your software and browser up to date.

Strong Passwords Use strong passwords and don’t send them to anyone. Use unique passwords, and don’t use a simple word that you’ll find in the dictionary. If you use the same password for several accounts, those accounts are particularly vulnerable. When you’re on a public computer, don’t allow the computer to store your login information.

Here is the fifth and final part of the fictional short story that began two months ago. I’ve never really done anything like this before, so thanks for bearing with me if you are reading this.

Paytah’s emaciated face was full of dried up dirt and grass before he jumped into his destination – the Mississippi River.

Drinking water in and out like a fountain, he splished and splashed around, eventually letting his muscles rest and sinking to the bottom of the river.

Holding his breath, Paytah’s mind slipped away to the dreamy Tiva.

Sitting next to the girl in thick plumes of steam, he saw Tiva back in the sweat lodge where he was before the journey to the river. Her knees were now tucked under her chin, and she cried loudly, though the walls of the underground makeshift lodge stifled the sound.

“What’s wrong?” Paytah said, wearing the same loincloth without the holes and tarnishes from his escapade the last few days. “Why are you crying? Did something happen?”

“Yes,” she said. “My father is forcing me to marry you.”

“Really?” Paytah said surprised and happy.

“He said he saw us together in a dream, showing animalistic passion few people ever get to experience for one another,” she said.

His courage was fading fast, as

Tiva’s tears dripped down her face.

Yet he was even more attracted to her then than any other time before.

He moved closer to her and squeezed her tight, kissing her cheek and massaging her hair, the way he dreamed about for such a long time.

“Maybe your father’s right,” Paytah said. Maybe he knows things we don’t. Maybe he knows I love you.

“I asked him for your hand because I didn’t want to regret having not at least tried for the girl I want to live with for the rest of my life. Have you ever loved somebody like that?”

“Maybe you could love me the way I love you?” he said. “And maybe you can’t.

“But you owe it to your dad to find out. He showed me you in all of your ways for a reason; leaving me with this story to ponder.”

There once was this wee little girl, braver than her size in 10. She was braver than anybody in the entire tribe, including my strongest warrior and myself, and even our matriarchal leader.

Though little ever scared her, she’d cried over the simplest things, like a simple smile sent her way or the wind pushing her hair aside. Nobody really understood why the girl felt the way she did about things, but they all loved her, because she cheered them up in the winter when life was slow and times were tough.

She had a horrible temper, too, cursing and throwing things when she got angry. But the girl had more passion in everything she did than anyone else in the tribe. When something seemed wrong, she made it right. She grew to be the voice of her band. Directing myself, and the matriarch, of what to do with our thoughts and visions to best lead us to survival and peace.

But that girl died. Not literally, but figuratively. Something happened to her, but nobody knows why. Her hope had been lost. She needed someone strong to love, because she had given up. A black cloud still hangs over her to this day, as has carried over into our village with everything she touches.

That girl was you, Tiva. And your father thinks that someone you need is me. I just wonder why I get to be the luckiest man alive.

Congress Prepares for Gunfight in the OK Corral

By Glenn Mollette Both sides of the aisle have their guns loaded and aimed at the political opposition.

Members of Congress nor the Senate are perspiring a drop. Each resembles Cool Hand Luke; unshaken and for good reason. They don't really give a big jiminy cricket.

Why should they? As long as they are in office the gravy train never stops.

The federal shutdown is looming over us. On September 30th life will be changed primarily for three groups: our military, our federal workers and our national parks.

Social Security checks will not stop. Medicare payments will not stop. The post office will not stop.

Soldiers in Afghanistan are at risk of taking a bullet or encountering roadside bomb. They are also at risk of being carried off the battlefield to the news that all their automatic pre-pay checks just bounced because Uncle Sam did not make the payroll deposit. How in the name of Betsy Ross could we ever expect an American soldier to be wearing our uniform while worrying if his paycheck will be a stupid IOU from the government!

All the while, back at the OK Corral in the hallowed halls of Congress there will be no fear of being slow on the draw. No, no, noooo! They don't even have to

care. If there is a government shutdown their paychecks keep coming.

Nothing can shut down the pay of the mighty do nothing Congress.

I should take that back. Do you remember when the airlines had a hitch involving the budget for the air traffic controllers and Congress was affected? Congress had a meeting and resolved the issue faster than the President lights a cigarette after ducking out of the white house pressroom. The flight schedules created delays in travel for Congress. The House of Representatives approved by 361-41 a budget fix designed to avert their anticipated inconveniences and happily continued their weekend travels without a hitch.

Congress opted out of Obamacare. They don't want Obamacare.

Apparently, the President has a higher opinion of them than the average American citizens. Congress is too good to have the same insurance as average America.

If Obamacare is bad for Congress and the President, then it's bad for the entire country. If there is not enough money to pay the military and the federal workers, there is not enough money to pay the President and Congress. Include the President and Congress in the same shutdown rule and you will see how fast Congress starts working together to resolve our budget dilemma.

IOWA BOW HUNTERS GEARING UP FOR DEER SEASON Leading up to the Oct. 1 start to their season, Iowa bow hunters have been busy hanging stands, trimming shooting lanes and checking trail cameras. There has been some activity in the woods and field edges, with youth hunters and disabled hunters getting an early start in the pursuit of Iowa’s whitetails. Some urban and park management hunts are also underway now.

However, most of the 60,000 deer hunters expected to buy bow season tags climb into their stands, or blinds, in early October. Dealing again with another dry summer, there will be some adjustments in the early days.

Deer will key in green food such as clover early as well as acorns as they begin to fall. Hunting food sources and along trails to them are very good early season strategies.

Scouting is helpful, especially as hunters pin down food sources.

Some soybean fields were planted late, due to spring flooding and may still show a lot of “green.” With a bone-dry summer, many acres of

corn were chopped for sileage. That has left fields bare that might otherwise have offered food and cover for deer and other wildlife. Fields planted to cover crops of rye or radishes might be a surprise bonus.

Acorns are also a primary source of food for fall whitetails. There are mixed reports on oaks this year in portions of Iowa. If white oak acorns are on the ground, they are most preferred by deer.

Most early season deer activity is tied to food. Bucks are more sedentary, feeding and putting on winter weight. Warm temperatures would keep them lying low until rut activities escalate. Towards late October, however, deer movement increases, building to the peak of the breeding season in mid-November.

Stay Safe Up There!

Ahead of the season, hunters should check their gear, as well as their stands. Falls associated with tree stand use are the most common hunting accident during the bow season. Stands and ladders should be

tested to ensure they are solidly in place. Straps on stands and restraints on hunting harnesses should be solid and free of fraying or other wear and tear. With the solitary nature of bow hunting, it is important to let someone know where you are and when you expect to return.

Report that Harvest…

Any deer taken must be reported through Iowa’s harvest reporting system by midnight the day after the deer is tagged. The process takes only a couple minutes. Log on to the DNR website; www.iowadnr.gov or call the toll free reporting number at 800-771-4692. You can also file that report at any license vendor in Iowa.

Accurate reports of deer harvested play a vital role in managing deer numbers and future hunting opportunities.

Other Prospects?

More than 50 deer management zone hunts have been established across Iowa. Hunting is underway in some of them. They range from urban areas, county and state parks

and rural perimeters around cities where deer numbers have been too high in recent years. The hunts target antlerless deer, to help reduce doe numbers. Most are bow hunting only. Some offer the chance for a mentored hunt, pairing an inexperienced hunter with one who can pass along his or her experience.

EHD potential?

The potential effect of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) in local areas may also come into consideration. About 235 EHD reports have been received in the past weeks by DNR officials across 30 counties in southern and eastern Iowa. The deer were found dead, frequently near water. More reports could come as more hunters and others head into the fields and woods. A wider outbreak of the drought-driven disease was noted last year. The suspected EHD cases are a concern, though they are just a fraction of those reported last year in Iowa.

News

Council Incumbents Nightmare on Elm David Kelm continued

Why are you running?

What do you like about town?

I like the small town atmosphere where everybody knows everybody, which sometimes is not always good, but for the most part it is great.

What are your top priorities for the City?

What are your top priorities for the City?

I want to tie up any loose ends on the major projects we have completed. I do not see any big projects coming up, just some small things to enhance what we already have finished. I also am actively searching for a replacement for the Mayor.

What are the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths?

Weaknesses?

What are the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths?

Weaknesses?

We have a great infrastructure with our water and sewer projects that we have been working on over the last 25 years. With that being said, we can do projects to enhance the community and make it a great place to live. The city has also done a nice job of balancing the budget, so we can do some of the projects that are going on. ville to compete for $100,000 and the coveted title, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best New Act in Country Music.â&#x20AC;?

What types of things does the City face in the future?

It is always a struggle financially running a city the size of Clarksville. There will always be things we want to do, but cannot because it is not feasible. That is where the community needs to step up and get involved.

Doug Teeple continued What do you like about town?

The people are friendly. Also, the way the City keeps trees growing by planting new ones, and the streets are better than most towns.

What are your top priorities for the City?

My top priorities are to get more business and industry in and around the area to generate more revenue for more events, along with more activities for the youth.

What do you feel needs to be done to strengthen the relationship between the City and the community?

A need to communicate with the City of Clarksville.

What are the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths?

Weaknesses?

Strengths: The citizens and youth; weaknesses: the lack of communication, business and industry What types of things does the City face in the future?

The City faces a growth in economy, and more reasons for the community to be protected.

What experience do you have?

What do you like about town?

What do you feel needs to be done to strengthen the relationship between the City and the community?

What types of things does the City face in the future?

Travis Sterken continued What experience do you have?

I am currently serving as a deacon on the church board of Pleasant Valley United Church of Christ. I have previously served as president and vice president of the Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fellowship. I am currently a member of the Trees Forever committee.

What do you like about town?

My wife and I decided to settle in Clarksville due to the small-town, family-oriented atmosphere. We feel Clarksville is a friendly, caring and nurturing community to raise our children. My wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family is from Clarksville, so we enjoy having so many supportive family members nearby.

Besides just tombstones and flowers, the Elm Street Cemetery has a collection of gargoyles, including gargoyles with masks on, and a Frankenstein.

What are your top priorities for the City? â&#x20AC;˘ Growth: Encourage young families to settle in Clarksville through effective marketing strategies, and by ensuring programs and amenities desired by young families. â&#x20AC;˘ City Infrastructure: Continue to invest in improvements to the city infrastructure and ensuring these improvements are done to the highest standards. â&#x20AC;˘ Safety: Ensure our citizens feel safe in the community; ensure our children are safe at home, at school and at play; and ensure businesses can conduct business safely. â&#x20AC;˘ Employment: Encourage new and existing businesses to find effective and creative methods to increase business and employment opportunities.

What do you feel needs to be done to strengthen the relationship between the City and the community?

I feel decisions and policies being made by the city that are affecting our citizens needs to be open to public discussion so citizens can have a say in the matter before a policy is finalized.

What are the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths?

Weaknesses?

The City of Clarksville has strong community roots. The people of Clarksville help each other out, volunteer for committees and programs and work together to make it a wonderful place to live.

One weakness of Clarksville is the lack of employment options. Many citizens must drive up to an hour out of town each day for quality employment.

With most people decorating houses for Christmas, Rick and Janice Wehrhan focus more outdoor and indoor adornment for the holiday of Halloween. Located on the 200th block of Elm Street, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created an Elm Street Cemetery, along with other scenes. (Pat Racette Photos)

What types of things does the City face in the future?

We must continue to bring young families into Clarksville to sustain growth in our community. The City of Clarksville needs to find new and creative ways to share with individuals the great opportunities Clarksville can offer to young families.

Cathy Cummings continued What experience do you have?

I have completed one term as a council member in Clarksville. I also have 23 years of military service.

SERVICE MANAGER of Greene '$5:,1 ./8,7(5

Candidate Questionaire:

What experience do you have?

I have been the Mayor for the last six years, and was previously on the City Council for three years.

What do you feel needs to be done to strengthen the relationship between the City and the community?

I would encourage people to be more active with what is going on in the City â&#x20AC;&#x201C; attend a council meeting, read the minutes in the paper and ask questions. Do not be afraid to approach the Mayor or a Councilperson and ask them questions. Get involved with a committee, or start one. We have a few groups doing things that could always use a fresh face or idea.

What do you like about town?

I grew up in a small town. I love being able to walk to the shops downtown and meet people I know.

I also love knowing my neighbors, and to feel safe where I live.

What are your top priorities for the City? Building codes should include reasonable, common sense regulations. I also would like to see more teardown-rebuild projects.

What do you feel needs to be done to strengthen the relationship between the City and the community?

I was living in Clarksville during the lood of 2008, and I witnessed a city and community come together as one. I believe the citizens of Clarksville have developed this relationship over the years, and it continues to be strengthened by our sense of home.

What are the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths?

Weaknesses? The city of Clarksvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary strength is the pride of its citizens.
