Voices of Iowa Project Kiosks at Allison Library

Waterloo, IA – The Grout Museum District launched the Voices of Iowa Project on Veterans Day, November 11, 2011.

The Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum received a grant from Black Hawk County Gaming Association to develop and circulate a mobile video exhibit. The Voices of Iowa Project, which features the museum’s extensive oral history interview collection, will travel to public libraries in the seven county area served by Black Hawk County Gaming Association. At each stop stories of local veterans and home front workers will be available as well as local farm family stories, a new Grout Museum pilot project.

The mobile exhibit has a 46 inch monitor and speakers and there are multiple channels visitors can select from. The “Hometown heroes” channel streams excerpts from the oral history collection from the community where the exhibit is on display. The “On the Home Front” channel shows how Iowans supported the troops while they served in combat areas from the Civil War to the present conflict in the Middle East. If there is a local home front contributor who has been interviewed, they are included along with the stories of other Iowans.

The “I Was There” channel streams selections from interviews with Iowans whose service was in a notable setting – Pearl Harbor, D-Day, Iwo Jima and incidents during the conflicts in Korea, Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan.

The “From Horse Power to Tractor Power” channel includes excerpts from the latest oral history project, a collection of interviews with farmers whose farms have been in the family for extended periods of time.

This pilot project has received funds from Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage Area.

The kiosks will be at the Allison Library for 2 weeks starting on July 24 featuring veterans from Allison.

For more information or to book a kiosk please contact Bob Neymeyer or Troy Myler at the Grout Museum at 319-234-6357.

C33 to begin construction next month

By Pat Racette ALLISON – County Road-C33 from Clarksville to Highway 14 will be repaved in mid- to late August by Mathy Construction Company out of Decorah.

Butler County is in charge of the 7.3-mile project, as the stretch was part of a routine maintenance check.

“It [CR-C33] was up on the schedule, and after looking at it, we determined we should do it,” said Project Inspector Tom Hoodjer. “On this project, we did the design and all of the inspection for the paving job...”

CR-C33 will be closed a mile at a time during construction, with the detour going south of Clarksville to Highway 3 and west, or south of Highway 14 and east.

Construction of the job needs to be done in 35 days by Mathy, or else liquidating fees will be charged. The project is estimated to cost $1.66 million.

CR-C33 will be closed a mile at a time during construction, with the detour going south of Clarksville to Highway 3 and west, or south of Highway 14 and east.

“We’ll have a flagger to route people around on gravel roads, or they can find their own way on hard surface,” Hoodjer said.

Mathy and subcontractor WK Construction will team up to do the cold-in-place recycling of the pavement. WK is in charge of milling up four inches of the existing roadway and recycling it with liquid asphalt, before crushing it down to size. Then, the machine puts the asphalt back out in a pile for Mathy to lay flat.

Dralles named Grand Marshals of Wet-n-Wilder Days

By Pat Racette ALLISON – “When they asked us [to be Grand Marshals], the first thing I thought of was why us? ” Leroy Dralle said.

“It should be somebody more important than us,” Bonnie Dralle said. “We’re not important, we’re just people.”

“I never dreamt I would be one,” Leroy said.

Yet, it was the two of the rural Allison residents that were chosen to be Grand Marshals for Wilder Days and during the Parade Saturday.

They can remember past Grand Marshals during Allison days like George North, Lester Schrage, Bob and Alison Rolfs, Bob and Ruth Schlitter, Dean Uhlenhopp, etc.

“Dodgy The duo believes they were chosen for their volunteer work within the community. They both have ran the Allison Food Pantry for the last five years, with Leroy being a big part of it for 15 years when after helping the Schlitters who started it.

“People need help,” said Bonnie. “It keeps us busy and out of trouble.”

However, Bonnie and Leroy credit the four volunteers – Betty Williams, Thelma Wiegmann, Felicia Schrage and Marty Miller.

“We couldn’t do it alone,” she said. “We need those four people.”

Bonnie’s also a secretary at St. James Lutheran Church. She also gives devotionals every other Wednesday to residents at the Rehabilitation Center of Allison, after serving as the Sunday School and Bible School teacher for 43 years.

Leroy tapes and delivers church service every Sunday to the care center and those homebound, along with bringing a bulletin. He also is a volunteer for Meals on Wheels.

The Dralles also were leaders in Boy Scouts and Webelos and Girl Scouts and Brownies for years, even after their children graduated.

Bonnie is a native of Shell Rock, but has lived the majority of her life in Allison when she married Leroy as an 18-year-old. Leroy is an Allison native.

They will be celebrating 55 years together next month.

“Allison has a lot of good people,” Bonnie said.

Arbitration Hearing...

An arbitration hearing was held last Friday at the North Butler Middle School, as the North Butler Community School District and North Butler Education Association couldn’t negotiate finances for the 2013-2014 fiscal year.

The three issues the NBEA wanted to be considered were: budget authority base wage,

supplemental base wage and health care insurance.

A big audience showed up to listen to both sides of the meeting that lasted several hours, with many exhibits brought to the table during the hearing.

No decision has been made from the arbitrator (as of Monday), as Superintendent Terry Kenealy said he didn’t expect to hear a judgment for awhile, and possibly even weeks.

Look for the full story in next week’s Tribune-Journal.

Home Country – Slim Randles Bert was mumbling to himself have a cardboard box. So anyway, as he adjusted cracker packets here I was giving the kid my spiel around his morning coffee at the about sighting in a rifle with two Mule Barn. shots and he said he’d like to see “Something wrong, Bert?” a demonstration.”

“Not if you have some Old Fool “Sounds fair enough.” pills for me, Doc.” “Well, yeah, and I didn’t mind.

“Uh-oh. What happened?”

I figure we owe it to the next “Well, I’d been telling the generation …”

Johnson kid some stories of the old “Come on, Bert,” Dud said, days when I was guiding hunters, “what happened?” and I happened to mention I could “Well, you know you get a solid sight in a rifle with only two bench rest and aim at the target shots.” and fire one shot, right? So then “You can do that?” you get a cardboard box and notch “Yes. So can anyone, if they it and use rocks or sand to anchor

it solidly so you can immobilize your rifle and you set it up so the rifle can’t move and it is showing the exact same sight picture you used for the first shot.”

“I didn’t know about this,” Doc said.

“Simple, really. So you’re looking at the bulls-eye the way you did on the first shot, and without moving the rifle itself, you adjust the sights until they’re pointed at the bullet hole in the target. That’s it. You then remove the cardboard box, sight at the bulls-eye and shoot again. It should be dead on.”

“That makes sense,” Dud said.

“So what went wrong?”

Bert said, “Well, we loaded up everything we needed: chair, table, box, bread wrappers full of sand, target, everything. Then we drove out to the gravel pit and set it all up, just right. Took quite a while. Finally we were ready, so I went over and unzipped my rifle case and pulled out my shotgun.”

“So how many of those Old Fool pills do you need, Bert?”

“All you can spare me, Doc. All you can spare.”

O Lord, be gracious to us; we wait for you. Be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble.

- Isaiah 33:2 This past week was one of those weeks. It was the kind of week where just when you think nothing else can go wrong, something else does. By the end of the week, it was almost laughable how nothing had gone the way I had hoped it would. And of course, everything got done when it needed to, and there were blessings all along the way. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t feel a little stressed out, off-kilter, and a little on edge as I waited for what else might go haywire. Difficulties have a way of revealing our weaknesses, don’t they? When difficulties arise, how do you respond? When trouble strikes, where do you turn?

For Isaiah, the Lord was his salvation in the time of trouble. Isaiah writes, “Be gracious to us; we wait for you.” When troubles seem to close in on all sides, we need to wait on the Lord. The Lord will be our salvation in the time of trouble, just as Jesus made salvation possible for us through his death on the cross. When things are easy in our lives, it can be tempting for us to try and coast on our own strength. When the road becomes rockier, we may realize that we cannot make it through on our own. Where we turn in times of trouble reveals a lot about our character. It is in those moments of weakness and desperation that our hearts shine through. This week, I’m going to ask God to be my “arm every morning, “the source of my strength and salvation. I invite you to make this your prayer, too, as you rise to face each new day.

A few weeks ago, I took a journey through rural Butler County on a quest to find historical bridges. I encountered a few roads that were labeled as “minimum maintenance roads.” These roads had unpredictable trenches that were nearly impassable at times. Our lives can be a bit like these minimum maintenance roads. We never know what we’ll face when we set out on the journey, and the road may seem impassable at times. But, we have a place we can turn, a source of comfort and strength – our God who is our strength and our salvation!

Butler County Extension News

Linda Upmeyer Newsletter It’s hard to believe we’re already mid-summer! Hopefully you’re finding time to enjoy a break in your busy lives and take a much-needed vacation or spend some special time with friends or family. Most importantly, I hope you are finding some cool relief during these hot Iowa summer days.

Parades and festivals are a big part of my summer. I get to as many as I possibly can- 4th of July in Clear Lake was the best weather ever, the Coulter parade had everyone running for cover when a shower broke, and the Franklin County Fair parade was one of the hottest ever! Isn’t it great to be an Iowan?!

This past legislative session, we worked with a number of different groups to improve Iowa’s water quality. Last year there was concern that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may have been interested in administering some heavyhanded and possibly crippling new regulations in our state. While we wanted to be sure to address their concerns, we also realized the importance of implementing a plan that made the most sense for our state and one that came from the state level, not the federal government.

As a result, a study was completed by the Iowa Department of Agriculture, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and Iowa State University- all of which have a great understanding of our state’s agriculture, soil, and water needs. Based on the results of this study, Secretary Northey and members of the study committee, recommended the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy, with the goal of reducing nutrient loss in our waters.

We realize there are numerous ways to reduce nutrient loss across the state. There are many different methods to slow runoff and prevent erosion, therefore one technique

may not work for every location or soil type. The Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy is a voluntary, sciencebased approach to improving Iowa’s water quality. Implementing a voluntary program should provide the flexibility needed to do what best fits a number of operations, while improving our water quality.

For Fiscal Year 2014, the Legislature appropriated a one-time investment of $20 million, in addition to ongoing funding of $2.4 million, to support conservation and water quality improvements in Iowa. This funding will offer many opportunities for people to manage watersheds and conservation projects across Iowa. Additionally, some funding will go toward starting a nutrient management research center at Iowa State University that will conduct ongoing research on practices to reduce nutrient losses.

Whether it’s Clear Lake, Beeds Lake, or another water source in Iowa, we know watershed management is important.

In other news, Iowa’s 14th annual sales tax holiday is quickly approaching. This year beginning at 12:01 am on Friday, August 2 through midnight on Saturday, August 3, no sales tax will be collected on the sale of clothing or footwear having a selling price of less than $100 per item. All businesses that are open on Aug. 2 and 3 are participants. I’m hopeful you are able to take advantage of the tax-free weekend. This is a great opportunity to save some money and enjoy visiting some of our fine Iowa retailers.

For more information on which items are exempt from the sales tax during this holiday weekend, visit http://www.iowa.gov/tax/educate/ STHList.pdf.

Success, Failure...

Even Thomas Edison had his off days when his ideas and creations got nowhere fast. Leading edge and breakthrough ideas often don’t live too long because the risk of failure is too great.

Regarding his creative work, he once said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that it won’t work.”

Innovation or time filler?

There are certain words most writers love to use.

You know – breakthrough, leading edge, market changing, user defining, etc.

Yes, and the ones headline writers, publicists like best – innovative,iInnovation.

Admit it, we all like to use them when we’re talking about our whatever.

When was the last time you heard any company say, “Yep, we’re introducing another great knock-off that is based on the stuff the other guy did and then we changed it … a little.”

I think it’s impossible to say what an innovation is when it’s so close to you.

What are/were innovations?

- Printing press - Cotton gin - Auto - Electricity - Penicillin

You know, stuff that changed the way people live/work around the world.

Everything else? Stuff to help people work, play and fill in the time.

Go to CES (Consumer Electronics Show), Creative Storage Conference, Flash Memory Summit, Nvidia’s GPU Conference, Cisco’s Live, HP Discover, Dell Enterprise Forum, Apple’s WWDC, Microsoft’s TechEd and all of the others to check out filling in the time.

All you see/hear about are the great innovations that have been made since the last time you were there.

And yes, those before were real innovations.

Thomas Edison is credited with developing electricity (we credit Tesla), and hundreds of other great stuff.

He also developed a lot of duds.

Relay for life I had my first real fair experience about a month ago, then a couple weeks later I attended my inaugural relay for life celebration.

Both events were located on the Allison fairgrounds, about 2 minutes from my office inside the Farm Bureau Building.

What’s Going On? S o looking at the clock, I grabbed my pack, headed out, and found n e a r l y the same parking space I had grown accustomed – right by

By Pat Racette the Arena.

I was a bit late for the first speaker, as they’d taken the stage and were talking about their story. I, of course, ratcheted up my camera, put on the flash compartment and put my eye into the peephole. I noticed all the luminary bags first, which are just like white sack lunch bags. Each one was either In Honor or In Memory or a cancer survivor or victim, with a picture, the name of the person and adornments of vivid colors or memories. It was pretty amazing, as I believe 1,000 outlined the track.

I had a schedule, thanks to Karla Voss who works on the Cancer Board of Directors, and it said Celebrate: Opening Ceremony – 6 p.m. I guess that meant having a speaker, as Robert Viekers, the Honored Survivor, passionately shared secrets that have helped him get through his battle with cancer. But, at the end Viekers said his fight with the disease is never over.

Then came the Survivor and Caregiver Lap and Team Lap. Viekers and his Hope Team opened up the walking around the track, followed by all cancer survivors in purple shirts behind them. As they walked by at all different speeds, all I could do was try and clap as loudly as I could with my camera bouncing off my chest. Unfortunately, I don’t think

my little reality could comprehend the obstacles and feats these people had all overcome to make it here.

The 26 teams from around Butler County each took a lap or two around the track. They somehow managed to raise $62,000 for the American Cancer Society.

Next, a watermelon-spitting contest was supposed going on at 7 p.m., but I never I saw it. So I ventured out to see what all the tents where about.

Like a stranger to town, I scanned the area before I had the confidence to see what was going on. I happened to be around the Kickin’ Cancer tent, and saw a bunch of stick horses lined up outside their tent.

The horses were for a raffle I found out, as a girl daughter had one particular stick horse picked out that she was putting her tickets into. I got a picture of her with the horse, but I’m not sure if she won it or not.

Getting into the tent, I saw a bunch of treats on sticks that caught my eye. So what do I do? Get a picture.

I thought they were decorated caramel apples, but it was actually a marshmallow covered in caramel and Rice Krispies. Having shoved down some food on my ride over, I decided that was too rich for my blood, so I took another cowboy treat they were offering – caramel corn.

I sampled them, and had trouble putting them down. Very tasty. I ended up moving on, making a stop at Team Millers and Cancer Crushers tent later.

Team Miller of Allison had 48 people, yet still didn’t have the largest team, as the Barnett Bunch had more. All in yellow, the Millers were serving root beer floats.

I then motored over to a man and wife making funnel cakes. She gave me a lot of cool background, saying she had been to every B.C. Relay of Life since it started in 2000. She said the first year people starved during the then overnight event, however, the second year the food stands began taking off.

DES MOINES – Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has been positively identified in a residential tree in the city of Burlington in Des Moines County, making this the second location where the invasive beetle has been found in Iowa.

It initially had been found on Henderson Island in the Mississippi River in Allamakee County in 2010.

EAB kills all ash species by larval burrowing under the bark and eating the actively growing layers of the trees. EAB is now considered to be one of the most destructive forest pests ever seen in North America.

State Entomologist Robin Pruisner said the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, along with USDA, will be issuing a quarantine for Des Moines County in the near future. A quarantine by state and U.S. agriculture departments means that hardwood firewood, ash logs and wood chips cannot be moved out of the area without a permit.

Pruisner said all Iowans are strongly cautioned not to transport firewood across county or state lines, since the movement of firewood throughout Iowa or to other states poses the greatest threat to quickly spread EAB even further. Most EAB infestations in the United States have been started by people unknowingly moving infested firewood, nursery plants, or sawmill logs. The adult beetle also can fly short distances, approximately 2 to 5 miles.

EAB is native to eastern Asia, and was detected in the United States near Detroit, Mich., in 2002. Since 2003, the Iowa EAB Team has been conducting annual surveys to determine whether and where this pest is in Iowa.

The team includes officials from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the USDA Forest Service.

“Treatments against EAB are too late this year. If you are within 15 miles of Burlington and have a healthy ash tree, preventive treatments can be made mid-April to mid-May 2014,” said ISU Extension and Outreach Entomologist Mark Shour. For more details, see ISU Extension and Outreach publication PM 2084, www.extension. iastate.edu/Publications/PM2084.pdf.

Ash is one of the most abundant native tree species in North America, and has been heavily planted as a landscape tree in yards and other urban areas. According to the USDA Forest Service, Iowa has an estimated 52 million rural ash trees and approximately 3.1 million more ash trees in urban areas. Burlington has about 700 ash trees in the public right-of-way and an estimated 2,000 residential trees.

Keep a Sharp Eye Out! Whew! The older I get, the more heat seems to bother me and this week has been a rough one. Then Ruth tells me, today is to be the hottest day yet! Just what I wanted to hear!

I’ve been receiving quite a bit of information on beef cattle and heat stress. Not knowing much about the make up of a beef animal, I did a little research.

Growing up around dairy, I can remember cows being “out to pasture” between milkings. (Wonder if this is where the saying “out to lunch” began?) We also switched from a stanchion barn to a free stall barn which offered protection from the sun.

It never seemed to fail that when I went after the cows, there was always one in the farthest corner of the pasture that refused to heed my call!

(If Dad was nowhere to be seen, I am sure I gave that cow a smack on the rump to let her know I was not happy having to trek through the entire pasture for her!)

There are steps farmers can take to help their cattle through these stressful times: 1) Providing adequate shade is critical. The recommendation is for 20-40 square feet of shade for each animal. Shade going east -west is more effective and the shade needs to be at a height of at least 8 feet for maximum benefit.

2) Cattle are very limited in their ability to sweat, but they can be cooled off by alternately wetting the skin and then allowing it to dry.

A constant fine mist is not nearly as effective. It’s always best practice to get cattle comfortable around sprinklers BEFORE they are needed!

3) Adding to the problem of limited sweating is the fermentation process within the rumen that generates additional heat the cattle need to get rid of. This heat production peaks 4 – 6 hours after feeding so it’s better to feed at least 70% of their ration about 2-4 hours after the outdoor temperature has peaked. It’s also proven through research that the energy portion of the diet can be reduced 5 – 7%. Cattle lose water from increased respiration and perspiration so consuming water is the quickest method for them to reduce their core body temperature. Clean water should always be available to cattle, and at times more drinking water facilities may need to be added.

4) Monitor your cattle closely during any heat event. If night time lows are above 74 degrees, cattle will not adequately cool, which then requires even more monitoring the following day. If animals start to move around looking for a more comfortable location, begin to slobber and have an increased respiratory rate, they will need help cooling down quickly.

If YOU think summers are hard to endure, imagine them from the standpoint of a 2,000 pound beef animal! Take steps to watch your animals closely; we have several weeks to go in July and all of August to get through!

Caregivers complete preceptor training JOPLIN, Mo. – Stephanie Sigler, Mindy Nolan, Amanda Herman, and Connie Ayers, Certified Nursing Assistants at the Rehabilitation Center of Allison recently graduated from the National Association of Health Care Assistants Certified Preceptor Course.

The multi-media program, written and delivered by NAHCA, the National Association of Health Care Assistants, provides instruction and coaching to ensure the CNA student understands how to effectively mentor and train new nursing assistants entering the profession of caregiving to the frail and elderly.

By completing the course, exercises and a final exam, they have demonstrated that they have the knowledge and tools needed to reduce CNA turnover, integrating them into their “training process” and therefore building the most consistent and stable team of professional caregivers at Allison Health Care Center.

Studies consistently demonstrate the immediate and hard cost of one CNA position turning over is $3000 minimum; the NAHCA Certified Preceptor Course will assist in reducing turnover and building a consistent caregiving team to focus on quality resident care.

Jeff Carter, NAHCA Senior Vice-

President Membership Services, states, “We are always very pleased that CNAs invest the time to learn how they can positively influence new nursing assistants and help them succeed.

“It also demonstrates the desire of the long term care provider, Allison Health Care Center , to invest in their staff to provide the best care possible. Ultimately, the frail and elderly benefit greatly with a consistent and skilled team of CNAs to provide what is often life sustaining care.”

Since completing the intensive eight module NAHCA Certified Preceptor Course, Stephanie, Mindy, Amanda and Connie will be functioning in the role of Preceptor, orienting and training newly hired nursing assistants, focusing on their success in delivering quality care at Allison Health Care Center.

The mission of the National Association of Health Care Assistants is to elevate the professional standing and performance of CNAs through recognition, motivation, education and development.

NAHCA has a membership of more than 36,000 caregivers working in 29 states and the District of Columbia. Visit their Web site at www.nahcacareforce.org.

‘Cats scratch out victory

County foes duke it out in district quarterfinal

Senior second baseman Ty Miller arms a put-out to first base last Tuesday, July 16, versus Clarksville in a Class 1A District 4 quarterfinal match up. (Kristi Nixon Photos)

By Kristi Nixon ALLISON – Two familiar Butler County foes met up in the Class 1A District 4 quarterfinal baseball game on Tuesday, July 16 with North Butler taking the 4-1 victory over Clarksville at Allison.

Although not in the same conference, the two teams have met in the post-season a lot over the years, making it a bit of a rivalry.

It didn’t disappoint with Clarksville’s Zach Bergman throwing a four-hitter but North Butler countering by forcing errors with its running game.

“Hats off to Clarksville’s Zach Bergmann, he’s one heck of a good pitcher,” North Butler head coach Travis Miller said. “He knows how to throw a nice sharp curveball and come back with a fastball that gets you looking silly; in fact, I think the last inning we all ended up looking silly. But our guys stuck around and they did what they were supposed to do.”

The Bearcats got off to a stunning start with Matt Heeren hitting a one-out triple that scored the first run of the game when the ball got away at third base.

“I swung the bat, felt good and was told to go three and I love running – so I got to third, slid (the ball) got past and (I) got home – good start,” Heeren said. “Right away I knew I was going to see the curveball sometime, so I waited for it. I saw it, but then the next pitch was right down the middle, I was like, ‘this is it, got it.’”

He added an insurance run in the sixth after stealing second and third.

“All year I’ve been stealing, I like the challenge,” Heeren said. “I like to speed up the pace a bit, too.”

Rob Rottler keyed on a pair of throwing errors to get the goahead run in the fifth.

With two teams that are separated by a mere 10 miles, it has made it a sure thing for post-season match-ups.

“I mean, that’s a hard thing for us, you know?” Clarksville coach Matt Finley said. “The last four years we’ve had to run into North Butler because of where we are located. The state won’t send us south or east or anywhere else, they just send us over here.

Unfortunately, we have to meet up with them and it’s tough. We had two really good teams here playing tonight and it showed.”

Bergman struck out 12 Bearcat batters, including a pair in the final inning. He also drove in the only run for the Indians with a double in the third.

“Zach’s going to be missed,” Finley said. “We are going to have to have some young guys step up and fill in. You know, he’s been the work horse for the last three-four years. He’ll be missed along

Squeezed out:

By Kristi Nixon ALLISON – In a stunning set of circumstances a fine North Butler baseball season came to a sudden end on Thursday, July 18.

Lake Mills’ Christian Rank executed a suicide squeeze bunt in the bottom of the seventh inning to oust the Bearcats on their home field, 2-1.

But it wasn’t that play that disappointed head coach Travis Miller when it was over, it was the other play by his team before that which set up the final.

“The last play doesn’t bug me, it was the seven innings before that: we just didn’t play baseball tonight,” coach Miller said. “When you come out here and give them four-pitch innings back-to-back it’s just not a good baseball game for us tonight by any means.

“All year long we worked the count better than that. We make the pitcher honestly throw strikes but …when you let him throw only four pitches, it makes a tough night on our guys.

Our pitchers did a good job, giving up only two runs, one being the squeeze at the end – you can’t fault our pitching but we can sure fault our bats.”

The Bulldogs’ Paul Pins, who was 3-for-3 off of North Butler pitching, and stole three bases, scored the winning run.

Throughout the Bearcats did some uncharacteristic things in the course of the game, including being picked off twice. “…It’s just poor base running,” coach Miller said. “You know, Rob (Rottler) got picked off earlier in the game – he didn’t have the jump I thought he should have had and a nice throw by the catcher – give him credit.

“Matt (Heeren), in the sixth inning, (it was) not a good decision on his

part and that happens. I’m not going to let those two throw-outs bug me.

When we still 170 bases in a year, that’s the way we play the game. I don’t fault those guys for being thrown out they were going 100 percent.”

North Butler wraps up at 18-6, the most wins the Bearcats recorded in baseball. Last year, they finished with 17 wins.

“The hard part is going out like this – the seniors – we talked about out there,” coach Miller said. “It’s one thing if you go out and battle and play the best game of your life and they beat you on a squeeze at the end of the night. But if you, as a team, play poorly and get beat on a squeeze, it hurts a little bit more.

Overall, 18-6, there is nothing wrong with that – great season for us. We’ll come back and battle again next year.

“They (the seniors) were instrumental in not only North Butler baseball, but instrumental in North Butler athletics. I think athletics as a whole turned a corner when that class started coming through. I told them straight up, there really is no replacement. I know there are going to be guys who step in, but replacing is a whole different story. They have just been phenomenal – they work harder than anyone else out here – and probably rightfully so being seniors. But I hope the younger kids paid attention to how hard those guys worked.”

Senior right fielder Dylan Edeker talked about the meeting coach Miller had with the seniors after the rest of the team was dismissed.

Among the group who played in their final game were Edeker, Rottler, Heeren, Ty Miller and Trevor Siemons.

“Coach said we’re going to be missed,” Edeker said. “He said it was a fun season, that we helped

shape the coach that he is today and that we had a great season this year.

It was a lot of fun.

“All we did was work hard in practice the few that we had. It was good to be a part of it and I think the guys next year will continue what we’re doing.”

with the other seniors as well.”

Miller added, “They don’t like us and that adds to it. It’s not a ‘I hate you’ kind of thing, but it’s Clarksville and North Butler and we just know that there’s that rivalry there. He (Bergman) comes out and he’s a competitor. He’s going to go right after you – he doesn’t pull any punches.”

Brandon Heuer and Trevor Siemons combined for a three hitter on the mound for North Butler.

And when the Bearcats got on base, they stole three bags and used three throwing errors to get enough to advance.

“Coming in, I knew they’d do their thing…we made a few errors to let them and gave them a few outs,” Finley said. “We shot ourselves in the foot and a good team takes advantage of that.

We haven’t faced that stiff of a competition for a little bit and it showed.”

It made for an entertaining post-season game.

“Every time we play them, it’s always good, close game,” Heeren said. “Bergman always pitches great and it was good that we connected with him this game. We worked on curveballs all week and it seemed to work out well for us. I remember him pitching all throughout high school and (Bergman) always doing good.”

Senator Chuck Grassley Lessons in Obama Health Care Law The Obama administration’s latest move to push the reset button on the most far-reaching overhaul of the nation’s health care policy in four decades offers a vital teachable moment.

For starters, the systemic flaw of the law enacted in 2010 and written to take effect at the end of this year puts one-sixth of the U.S. economy into the hands of Uncle Sam. This means the long arm of federal law will reach further into the back pockets of the taxpaying public, impact medical decisions affecting patients and health care providers and stifle growth and innovation with new taxes and stiff penalties.

It grows big government as American taxpayers are told to make do with less. During what became a polarizing national debate, a bipartisan approach was kicked to the White House curb when efforts to broker broadbased, consensus reform broke down. That’s when the President pursued a partisan reform bill that made its way through Congress on a party-line vote.

Looking through the rear view mirror, the bumps in the road that have stalled implementation of the Affordable Care Act should come as no surprise. The then-Speaker of the House quipped about the 2,000 pages of legislation, “We have to pass the bill so you can figure out what’s in it.”

Now, it is ironic, possibly disingenuous, and perhaps unconstitutional that the Obama administration is choosing to ditch certain parts of the law when it’s politically convenient to do so. Instead of enjoying widespread public support, the law is causing widespread confusion.

And, many states have opted not to expand Medicaid and not to create their own insurance exchanges due to the unsustainable spending and regulatory burdens that come with the law. The rocky implementation of the Affordable Care Act has been described by a leading Democratic senator as a “train wreck.”

Again, that should come as no surprise as passage of the law was railroaded through Congress without the American public on board. So what’s happened in the three years since President Obama signed the bill into law on March 23, 2010? The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has granted delays, suspensions and waivers on a regular basis.

Once again, the federal bureaucracy is lowering the bar of expectations and fueling public cynicism about the government’s ability to deliver as promised and with any accountability. Consider just two of the most recent setbacks: • The Government Accountability Office (GAO) last month reported that “critical” activities needed to create a federal insurance exchange have not been completed, raising concern that the Oct. 1 deadline faces serious challenges.

• HHS announced in July a one-year delay for the mandate requiring employers with 50 or more employees to offer health care coverage.

Although the most recent HHS decree gives business owners a bit of breathing room before the employer mandate takes effect, it further unravels false promises about the Obama health care law being fiscally responsible, and it doesn’t erase the law’s chilling effect on job creation and business expansion down the road. Creating a vast new public entitlement creates tremendous risk for fraud, as well.

Despite President Obama’s assurance that his health care

reform would not add “one dime to the deficit,” history teaches us that these programs not only saddle future generations of Americans with burdensome taxes, but they also provide an ocean’s supply of fish for fraudsters to reel in, hook, line and sinker.

From my positions on the Senate Finance and Judiciary Committees, I work to recapture improper payments through aggressive legislative and oversight measures.

Working to restore integrity to health care, farm and defense programs, I champion internal audits by independent inspectors general and advocate whistleblower protections for those who report financial mismanagement and wrongdoing.

The U.S. Treasury has long been milked as a cash cow by unscrupulous opportunists who exploit government programs for ill-gotten financial gain.

In 1986, I coauthored updated anti-fraud tools first signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln.

My “qui tam” amendments that empower whistle blowers to

So what’s happened in the three years since President Obama signed the bill into law on March 23, 2010?

The Department of Health and Human Services has granted delays, suspensions and waivers on a regular basis. expose fraud are credited with recovering $35 billion. With less than two months before the health care exchanges are slated to open for business, the risk of fraud and improper payments is virtually guaranteed.

And yet HHS has chosen not to certify who lawfully qualifies for taxpayer subsidies that are projected to average more than $5,000 per person. Consider this: • Social Security improperly paid out $7.9 billion in the last fiscal year.

• The Treasury inspector general says as much as 21 percent to 25 percent of the Earned Income Tax Credits are awarded to those who don’t legally qualify.

• The GAO reported in February that the Medicare program remains “high-risk” for improper payments, reaching $44 billion in 2012. One would think the White House would be concerned about fraud tarnishing the crown jewel of the president’s domestic agenda.

Instead it appears the Obama administration is too busy reshuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic to worry about crosschecking eligibility requirements for the massive new entitlement. The president may have been seeking to put a feather in his cap with passage of his health care reform plan.

Instead, the legacy that President Obama’s health care law would leave behind stands to hoodwink taxpayers and run job creators off the rails.
