School district dealt
another blow to budget
Superintendent Kenealy
to present letter of
resignation to board
By Pat Racette
After dealing with a downward
spiral in unspent budget authority
dollars all of last year, North Butler
School District thought the worst
was over.
However, an auditor’s report on
Sept. 13 for the 2012-2013 fiscal
year revealed a downward adjustment (discrepancy from previous
fiscal year) of $403,068.06, leaving the district unspent authority
balance in the red at -$43,616.
At the Board of Education
meeting Monday in Greene, superintendent Terry Kenealy said
the anticipated USB authority
was $477,745 for FY ’12-13 and
$526,811 for ’13-14. But right
now, the estimation has changed
to -$43,350 for ’13-14, though it’s
still in flux and can change.
“The auditor we currently work
with completed fiscal year 2011-12
and then ’12-13, [and] did downward adjustments of $475,579 to
accounts receivable line,” Kenealy
said. “In her records, it should have
only been $113,550, not $589.129.
The $475,579 [difference there]
is the big monkey in the room that
caused this to go down. We talked
with the Iowa Dept. of Education
and auditor about that, but the auditor cannot explain or doesn’t understand where these numbers, the
$589,129.83, came from.”
Kenealy said the previous auditor
said that if the line of credit would
go in the same account it was taken out of, it wouldn’t count against
them. He believes that’s where the
budget got off base.
“If that’s in there, and we’re pretty
certain it is, that’s probably the rea-
son why it happened the way it did.
This is not supposed to impact your
bottom line,” he said.
Yet now the school district must
plan a Corrective Action Plan to
present in front of the School Board
of Review Committee on Dec. 19.
Kenealy is getting Iowa School Finance Services consultant Larry Sigel to help them prepare for the presentation.
5-Year Unspent
Balance Projection
*2012-13 – (-)$43,616
2013-14 – (-)$43,350
2014-15 – $182, 420
2015-16 – $292,583
2016-17 – $416,498
* – fixed number
“He [Sigel] indicated it’s really
important to go there in person, and
that the board president be there with
the superintendent…so that they see
it’s a serious approach is being taken
by the district to deal with this,” he
said.
With the projections of the unspent
balance estimated to stay in the red
for this fiscal year, the district would
be subject to the SBRC closing them
down. The silver lining, though, is
that enrollment (one of the key financial indicators) looks to be going up by as many as 24 students
in FY 2014-15, which would boost
the USB authority to a projected
$182,420. Speculating enrollment
growth of five students in the following two fiscal years, the USB would
be back up to $416,498.

Greene Historian Digs into BC Log Cabin
By Pat Racette
On Butler County fairgrounds sits
the Historical Log Cabin, made of
walnut and oak logs.
The one-room cabin was built from
the logs that remained after Goheen
Place was torn down in 1956, which
was located southwest of Greene in
Coldwater Township. The Wegands
then donated the remnants of the
building to Butler County Historical
Society.
Goheen Place was originally used
to house 11 people, along with becoming a stagecoach stop. Greene
historian and former resident Clayton Thomas, however, began questioning some information that was
different from what he was seeing in
documents.
“I didn’t think the information
was quite correct,” he said. “I would
go online…and it said the Goheen
House was the first hotel in Greene,
and I’m saying, ‘No, I don’t think
so.’
“So I started digging deeper, and
the result is what I’ve written. I’ve
written it twice, one just for the
[Greene] Recorder a couple weeks
ago [Aug. 28], the way Sylvia would
write it.”
Thomas found out that the women played a bigger role than he had
thought, with the property purchased
by Margaret Hardman, signing with
an X.
John H. Miller began building the
house in the 1850s, but died of injuries in construction of it. Having
three children, Hardman then married next door neighbor Ed Goheen,
due to proximity. Goheen’s mother
and children came along with him,
putting 11 people under one roof.
“When people say that was the
first hotel in Greene, they better be
talking about the 11 people, or else
it would have been a little bit crowded,” Thomas said.
Hardman Miller Goheen, who was
considered an aunt in Goheen geneaology, passed on later and gave
the property to Mary Wegand, considered the niece, before the house
was vacated around 1901 when
Clyde Wegand was born.
“There was really only two women
who owned the property,” Thomas
said, “and beyond that, no one lived
in it and it got dilapidated in 1956,
but they had enough walnut and oak
to save [and make a little cabin].”
Schools may look to ALICE training in Future
Intense practice in case
of intruders takes proactive
approach
By Pat Racette
School officials in Butler County
now have an alternative to lockdown
in preparation for school intruders.
Last May, both North Butler and
Clarksville superintendents attended a Response Options A.L.I.C.E
Instructor course at Waverly Civic
Center.
ALICE, Alert-Lockdown-InformCounter-Evacuate, is another way of
for school districts to handle invaders.
“It informs faculty, students and
parents on alternative measures
rather than to just sit and wait,” said
Mitch Nordmeyer, BC Emergency
Management Coordinator.
The training was made available to
all school districts in Butler, as Nordmeyer said it was eye-opening.
“Many mind-sets, views were
changed after completing the
course,” he said.
In an eight-hour training session,
the course is meant to put a person
in the place of a student or teacher
when an infiltrator is in the area. The
class teaches information on safety
measures and precautions to their local audience; explores active shooter
profile myths; reviews and evaluates past active shooter events; and
presents the system advantages of
Alert-Lockdown-Inform-CounterEvacuate.
“I think a number of districts are
looking into it [ALICE] at this time,”
Nordmeyer said. “It is entirely their
decision, and I have suggested that
they work with their local law enforcement on school intruder safety.
It should be a collaborative effort between those entities.”
Clarksvillle Superintendent Eric
Wood said ALICE is something
he wants to start
in the district at
some point in the
future.
“It is a different mind-set from
lockdown,” Wood said. “Lockdown
is OK in some situations. ALICE
training is designed to do things proactively during a live shooter incident.”
Dumont farmers learn more about auto steering
HTS Ag hosts Customer
Appreciation Day at
Hawkeye Farm Lab
By Pat Racette
Dumont farmer Gary Franken
bought an automatic steering system
last spring for his combine.
Franken and farmhand, Jason
Rieken, used the GPS navigating
feature automatically steer for them
in the field. As they gained more interest in precision technology, the
two farmers attended an HTS Ag
Customer Appreciation Day in September to find out more about auto
steering.
“We just basically got into this and
wanted to try it out and get our feet
wet with it,” Franken said. “We’ll
see the advantage from it, and go
from there I guess.”
According to HTS Ag sales Terry
Johnston, over half of farmers are
now using auto steering to plant and
harvest.
“There is not near as much fatigue
and uneasiness with stuff [due to
automatic steering],” Rieken said.
“You can watch for rocks on the
ground and other things instead of
worrying about where you’re going,
at least for a little bit anyway.”
The farmers were also interest in a
precision product sold by Reichhardt
Electronic Innovations called Tactile
Row Guidance. The device controls
the tractor mechanically, allowing it
to follow rows in any situation.
“Row sensors is what we were
looking for,” Franken said. “It’s
pretty good for down corn, and gets
down deep underneath for rowing
corn. We don’t have sensors now…
But the sensors would be on the
combine and hook up to the moni-
tor.”
HTS Ag held the all-purpose event
at Hawkeye Community College
Farm Lab to personally show their
appreciation to agriculture producers, as well as interacting and taking the time to present information
in a slower environment in front of
a screen.
“We go through each scenario that
may be encountered throughout the
season, and give quick reminders of
what to check for if any problem areas exist,” Johnston said.
HTS Ag is headquartered in Harlan and Ames, and holds customer
day classes twice a year in western,
central and eastern Iowa areas. Last
year the group held a meeting at
Kirkwood Community College, before teaming up with the Hawkeye
agriculture department this year.
“We had about 13 or so [Hawkeye
We are proud to
support our area
farmers!

students] show up on their day off
because of Cattle Congress,” Johnston said. “They got up early and sat
there for six hours. It was impres-
sive, and should play in well with
their education.”

Iowa. Rev. Karl Bollhagen officiatied the service.
Sietsema Vogel Funeral Home in
Hampton was in charge of arrangements.
Ruth E. Meyer
Ruth E. Meyer, 97, of Hampton,
Iowa, passed away Thursday, Oct.
17, 2013, at the Franklin General
Hospital in Hampton, Iowa.
She was born October 3, 1916, in
Aplington, Iowa. Ruth Ellen Bruns
was the daughter of Heiko and Anne
(Bengen) Bruns. She graduated from
the Dumont High School in 1933.
On October 3, 1935, she married
Harry Fred Meyer who preceded
her in death on November 24, 1972.
With the exception of three years in
the employment of Swift & Company, they were engaged in farming.
Along with her being a very active
partner in the farming operation,
Ruth was a bookkeeper for Northrup
King & Company for 26 years. She
was a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church and active in the LWML
women’s group.
Ruth enjoyed cooking and baking
for family and friends. Chocolate
cake became her trademark for frequent guests. Home canned peaches,
fresh applesauce, homemade rolls
and her famous strawberry jam
made stopping at Ruth’s a treat for
everyone.
She enjoyed living at the Franklin
Prairie Assisted Living for the past
year and continued there with her
love of baking. When visiting Ruth
in the past year, guests often took
portions of her cake and cookies
home as a treat for later. Her family
and friends were her life and she enjoyed all of their visits.
Ruth also enjoyed playing cards
and, before her “fingers quit working”, she made many quilts and lots
of crochet items. These also were
shared with others.
Mourning her passing are two
sons; Larry (Marlys) Meyer of Geneva and Lyle (Judy) Meyer of Iowa
City; brother, Robert (Venita) Bruns
of Allison; sister-in-law, Beth Bruns
of Mesa, Arizona; four grandchildren, Janelle (Brad) McCalla, Alan
(Kristi) Meyer, Steve Meyer, and
Quenten (Amber) Meyer; and nine
great-grandchildren as well as other
relatives and cherished friends. She
was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Fred (Violet) and Jake
(Beth) Bruns, sisters Gertrude (Fred)
Van Dyke and Doris (Bruno) Asche.
Funeral services were held Monday, Oct. 21 at the Trinity Lutheran
Church in Hampton, Iowa. Burial
took place at the Trinity Lutheran
Church Cemetery in rural Hampton,

TREES
Some people travel far and wide
to just behold breathtaking foliage
as it changes to all the bright colors.
It seems like a miracle watching
the green of summer give way to
the brilliant reds and golds. As you
are marveling at this work of God
you may want to consider another
of nature’s silent wonders regarding
trees.
This is an observation by a retired
engineer who has six magnificent
oak trees gracing his property. He
said that as he studied the trees, he
realized that it must take barrels and
barrels of fresh water each day to
sustain the leaves from top to bottom. No pump ever devised by man
could force that much water through
the dense wooden trunks of these
trees. Yet God causes their roots to
exert a working pressure of more
than three thousand pounds per
square foot just to move the water
up to the leaves without even considering the resistance of the wood.
This is just another example of
God’s miracles that occur in nature
every day, largely unnoticed.
answer all your questions.
Times are changing and so are we!
Offering everything from cremation to full traditional
services, we are here to serve your needs.
Give Allen or Travis a call today to set up an
appointment to go over all your options and
pre-plan a funeral that suits your needs.

By Pat Racette
Growing up, friends seemed easy
enough to find.
Kind of like the Old MacDonald
had a Farm song, friends were a here
and a there and an everywhere.
But it eventually changed for me,
after hitting my climatic point of
friendship in college. The millions
of friends I thought I had tallied up
on some made-up list were suddenly
nothing more than jostled memories
of friendly moments.
Hanging out with friends was my
favorite thing to do growing up, and
then suddenly after college it seems
like they are all gone. Where did
they go? Is this some untold secret
of becoming a grown up – not having friends?
The simple options of going over
to a friend’s house to play a video
game, listening to a song or disappear from the world were gone.
I would still hang out with friends
on the weekend, but it just wasn’t
the same. Career was taking center stage, and before I knew it, I
moved to Waverly for a job. First
weeks, then months and eventually
years went by without hanging with
friends back home.
So, what could possibly fill this
giant hole in my life? Well, I guess
work did for a while, but that gets
awfully lonesome and unsatisfying.
Sure it’s nice to get paid, but constantly being on the job isn’t my idea
of freedom.
Life goes on, and eventually I started to have a social life again, before
getting married in 2010. And then a
son came in spring 2011, Colton Joseph Racette.
At first, my life wasn’t too different than before, other than getting a
lot less rest. The first three months,
mom (my wife) had work off and
was breast-feeding him.
Editorial
But slowly, Colton was developing into my buddy. And like a good
friend, he’s never cared whether I’m
having a good hair day or a bad hair
day.
Though I do have to give in quite a
bit to him, it’s worth it to have a buddy back around. Now when people
ask me what I did for the weekend,
I can say I hung out with my buddy. That usually means going to the
store with C (Colton’s nickname),
going to the park with C, watching
cartoons with C, eating with C and
putting C to bed.
The weekend days are long when
it’s my buddy and me, but they are
a lot of fun. I get to watch him go
down the slide backwards, run back
and forth in a large puddle of water,
try to do down a slide I tell him not
to and have fits and tantrums that
2-year-olds do.
But it’s all worth it at the end of
the night, seeing his little face smiling and having a little fun with him
before I have to be serious again.
“You’re my buddy,” I say pointing
at him.
“No you’re my buddy,” he says
definitely, pointing his little finger at
my face.
Well do that back and forth for a
while, and he’ll get laughing a bit
more and more, saying, “Do it again
Daddy.”
But, being the adult, I have to say
no after the 23rd time and somehow
taper him down to go to bed.
Then I give my buddy a few pets
on the head and a good night kiss before gliding out of his room.
But then I hear:
“Hug daddy.”
So I hug him, and we go out separate ways until morning rolls along
at 4 a.m.
Let’s Get to Work!
Hopefully, by the time this column
comes out, the government will be
back up and running! I’m sure every one of you is as tired of hearing
about it as I am. My two year old
and one-and-a-half year old granddaughters can get along better than
our representatives in Washington!
While several key legislators
didn’t view the shut-down as “any
big deal”, the majority of Americans
felt otherwise. Closing down the
tourist attractions and parks made
many people change vacation plans.
I’m sure many of the furloughed
workers were far from pleased, also.
To those of us in rural Iowa that depend on the Farm Bill and other government agencies, it is very much a
big deal. We have not been able to
report harvest progress in almost 3
weeks. Does anyone have any idea
how many bushels of corn and beans
have come out of the fields in the
last 3 weeks? Or what has happened
to the farm economy? Do any of our
congressmen even care?
We were supposed to listen to
Rep. Steve King speak and “try” to
answer questions in Allison on Oc-
More data doesn’t make better
decisions, it just takes longer
Banana Republic-ans
By David Mansheim
I spent the last several weeks on
a Panama Canal cruse with excursions into Nicaragua, Costa Rica and
Columbia. As an American, I found
it humbling to hear people from so
called “Banana Republics” express
concern over the political and economic stability of the United States.
Republicans believe that government doesn’t work and whenever
elected they prove it. They certainly
did this last couple of weeks. Why
would anyone ever hire an auto mechanic that hates cars and doubts the
principles of the internal combustion
engine? It’s like deliberately hiring a
Luddite to throw monkey wrenches
into your new expensive industrial
revolution machine.
Republicans in the Senate including our own Chuck Grassley and Republicans in the House including our
own Steve King voted overwhelmingly against ending the government
shutdown and in favor of defaulting
on our nation’s obligations. Why
would Grassley and King vote to
tank the world economy rather than
have Obamacare? Probably because
their “correct” votes were scored by
ultra-conservative organizations and
they are more afraid of losing popularity with the loony bin section of
the Republican Party than helping
America.
It makes me mad when people
damage my country and these guys
did in many ways. First of all, the
government shutdown didn’t save a
dime and in fact the disruption cost
us a lot of extra money - some $12
billion by some estimates. Secondly,
not paying bills when due is defaulting and that is in violation of the U.S.
Constitution which Grassley and
King swore to uphold. It states that
the full faith and credit of the United
States shall not be questioned. Well,
people sure are now.
Thirdly, negotiating by threatening
to damage this country is unacceptable. Like Snidley Whiplash they
demanded Obama give them his
baby or they would throw the country on the railroad track. Fourthly.
the self manufactured crises undermined consumer and international
confidence further slowing already
slow job growth and shaving 4th
quarter GDP by some estimated $24
billion. Fifthly, it certainly damaged
US prestige abroad. It’s hard to hold
yourself out as an example when
everyone is laughing that this is no
way to run a government. Finally
and perhaps worst of all, it caused
us more loss of faith in our country
and our institutions. Continued loss
of confidence in our ability to solve
problems and govern ourselves can
be fatal to our country. All in all, the
damage done was just as dangerous
as betraying government secrets.
Republicans don’t want Obamacare to succeed. They have made
that clear by throwing a several year
long hissy fit over it. People will
eventually like expanding medical care to 13 million Americans as
much or more than they like Medi-
care or Social Security. Republicans
hate that idea.
Republicans insist on calling the
Affordable Care Act “Obamacare”,
since with their nonstop disinformation campaign, Obamacare polls
lower than the ACA even though
they are the same thing. I think they
miscalculated. What if Republicans had derided Social Security as
“Roosevelt Care” and the name had
stuck? I can confidently predict that
if Obamacare succeeds, Republicans
will stop calling it that.
I can also predict that in states that
want it to succeed, it will, and in the
23 states where Republican Governors and State Legislatures oppose,
delay, obstruct and sabotage, it probably won’t. No matter whether you
think you can, or think you can’t do
something, you’re probably right.
What Republicans don’t understand
is that if Obamacare doesn’t succeed, about the only alternative left
would be a national single payer
system like Medicare for all, which
ironically would be more socialist
than the free enterprise market solution of insurance exchanges set up
by Obamacare.
Radical Republicans know that
their last government shutdown
resulted in a downgrade of our nation’s credit rating. They know that
destroying our credit will drive up
interest to the point that government
would truly be crippled by the high
interest payments. They could just
decrease spending and increase income. Instead they refuse to pay the
credit card company for the items
they already bought apparently in
hopes the credit card company (the
international bond market) will destroy their credit. They hope that if
the country is brought to its knees,
we will see that Ayn Rand was right.
If you keep track of Republican
philosophy, you know Republicans
have long sought to chop government down to the size where they
can “throttle it in it’s crib” or “drown
it in a bathtub.” They used this exact
language even before the Tea Party
was formed. Personally, I am not for
“big government” or “small government” but for government that is the
right size to efficiently achieve the
national goals we decide we want to provide for our defense and promote the general welfare.
A large part of the Republican
Party has gone so far to the extremes that it is hardly your father’s
party anymore. Ted Cruze, a leading proponent of all this destruction, was scheduled to be the main
speaker October 25 in Des Moines
at the Iowa GOP Reagan Dinner. I
see Ronnie spinning. I see Abraham
Lincoln, founder of the Republican
Party, singing with Leslie Gore, “It’s
my party and I’ll cry if I want to.”
The inescapable conclusion is that
Banana Republic-ans have come to
believe that it is necessary to destroy
government in order to save it. And
that is beyond radical. It is dangerous, delusional, and yes, even treasonous.
tober 7th. Obviously that didn’t happen, but I heard on the news that he
had managed not to put any of his
staff on furlough! Really? The other
members of Congress put at least
part of their staffs on leave. No wonder he didn’t visit Allison! (or any
other city in his region!)
I am hopeful that Americans, particularly rural Iowans, specifically
Butler County residents, have long
memories and do the right thing at
the polls in November 2014.
Americans deserve better than
having the houses of Congress act
like two year olds having a tantrum.
I know it isn’t all one-sided, but
this country was founded on compromise and our elected officials
should be able to figure out what’s
best for the people, not their “party”.
I am not a politician and have absolutely no desire to be a politician,
but I think I may have more common sense than most of them.
Get it figured out and get back to
work! Your jobs, as well as our lives,
depend on it!
Alone – Despite all of the
available information, all of the
counsel/recommendations
the
decision to act is one person’s
alone to make. He/she must sort
through all of the options, weigh
the pros/cons, consider all of the
data and make the best decision
possible.
Ever wonder how the Vikings
sailed across the endless Atlantic to
set foot on Canadian soil?
How about the Polynesians who
crossed the vast Pacific to arrive at
the Hawaiian Islands?
They had no big data, no analytical tools, nothing to quantify/qualify
their decisions – just a gut feeling it
was going to work.
Sort of make your day-to-day
“critical” decisions pale in comparison?
In those decisions it wasn’t one
boss, senior executive or leader
making the decision to venture into
the unknown.
One had the idea but a lot of folks
contributed to the decision – and
made it happen.
Peter Drucker explained it in business terms hundreds of years later,
Most discussions of decision making
assume that only senior executives
make decisions or that only senior
executives’ decisions matter. That’s
a dangerous mistake.
Even though we spend millions on
data and information systems, people make decisions.
Today we have more information
at our fingertips than we have ever
had, yet informed decisions seem to
be more difficult make, take longer
than they should.
There’s a lust to find out a little bit
more to guarantee the right decision.
Yet, with all of the information, all
of the statistics, all of the analysis,
executives say 80 percent of business decisions are made with a gutlevel feeling of what is right at that
moment.
Actually, that gut feeling is from
a lot of the information you’ve
gained over the years combined with
healthy doses of empirical data you
can’t fully define.
That’s because today’s business is
in a state of continuous change – action/reaction.
Most people will make decisions
that are good for themselves and
their company.
If they can’t or won’t, that can be
changed.
The biggest hindrance in today’s
decision-making is that so much data
is almost instantly available and data
is always missing.
Because it is missing, we overestimate its value.
Lack of You Time
The second hurdle to making a decision is all of the demands on our
time.
Back in the Viking, Polynesian,
Drucker eras, they didn’t try to handle calls/communicate while commuting (train or bus). Nor did they
bring connected devices on their
holidays just in case. And they didn’t
have WiFi everywhere just to stay in
touch.
Because so much teamwork is involved today, being connected and
open/available for communications
is vital.
That’s why most responsible people feel guilty if they don’t respond
to an email within 24 hours.
They’re uncomfortable ducking or
being unavailable to team members
when they need to focus on really
complex issues.
Oh cripes, admit it – it’s satisfying
to feel needed!
But today, competent professionals
delegate the majority of decisions to
responsible team members and focus
on the complex, long-range goals.
Those less than competent withhold responsibility/authority and
avoid decisions until it’s too late.
Decision Types
Competent and incompetent executives seem to fall into five specific
categories:
- Go Numb, Do Nothing – You’ve
encountered them. They’re paralyzed by fear, are distressed, simply
can’t make a decision
- Passive Pleasing – They focus
on pleasing others (especially bosses). They avoid conflict, sit quietly,
passively
- Mediocre, Middle-of-the-Road –
They are constantly politically correct, sitting in the middle of the road
on issues. Eventually, they get run
over people who are assertive, enthusiastic, committed
- Active, Assertive Expression –
They know what they know, believe
in it, express it. They focus on positive action, positive results
- Energetic, Do It with Enthusiasm
– They enjoy a challenge and like
the personal challenge of facing a
major decision. They communicate
their points, lay out the plan of action, make it easy to follow their lead
Those who are active and energetic
help organizations make decisions,
help them move forward.
Then too, there are corporate cultures that seem to exist – and do
fairly well – with only passive, mediocre executives. You know, organizations that discourage people
who question decisions, suggest alternatives/options, voice concerns/
dissent.
At some level, senior management
sees the need for change and people
really want to change but culture
runs deep.
To survive in these environments
talented people go to exhaustive
lengths not to appear dumb.
They resort to extensive analysis.
To paraphrase an old saying, the
road to hell is paved with good intentions, judicious decisions and
exhaustively analyzed strategies …
paralysis by analysis.
When you have a decision to make
and don’t make it, that’s a decision.
The challenge for executives, according to psychological researchers, is that information is addicting.
The more you have the more you
want because you know you’re only
one click away from the eureka! decision.

Congress Kicks the Can - Americans Turn Blue
By Glenn Mollette
Americans can breathe a sigh of
relief but not for long. We've kicked
the financial crisis can down the road
for at least three more months.
Our budget deficit, debt ceiling and
American leadership crisis reminds
me of a game we used to play in the
creek as a child. Someone would
count while we held our breath under water. It was only a matter of
time. We couldn't stay under forever.
It seems like the average American is holding his or her breath today. Time is ticking while our faces
are becoming bluer by the moment.
How many more trillions of debt can
we stand? Our paychecks are shrinking all the more as we are crunched
with another trillion dollars in debt.
Our sigh of relief is short lived as our
heads are actually being pushed under, much deeper and far longer than
we can survive as a nation.
In response to this brutal drowning of America we stand back shrugging our shoulders and wagging our
heads. What else are we going to
do? Many of us made it to the polls
to vote and we will be back there to
vote next time. We write letters, call
our representatives and senators and
feel like screaming bloody murder.
What good does it do us? Our nation
continues to spend what we do not
have and cannot afford.
If our outgo exceeds our income
then our upkeep will be our downfall.
America needs to make a simple
adjustment. We need to spend what
we take in and not more than we take
in. This simple adjustment works for
individuals, families, businesses,
and so forth.
When we spend more than we take
in we accumulate debt that makes
life tougher for us. We have to pay
the debt back so this actually gives
us less money to live on. Every few
months our country is making it
tougher and tougher on all Americans because we are accumulating
more and more debt which is devouring the income we have.
Average Americans make house
and car payments. However, our
payments must be based on our income and what we can afford. Our
government is incurring more and
more debt and it's not based on the
national income nor what our country can afford.
America will take in 2.7 to three
trillion dollars over the next twelve
months. I would suggest to our leaders that we formulate our budget
based on what we expect to receive.
In the meantime why don't we create more income for our nation by
creating more good jobs that will in
turn create more income for America? We need to stop the flow of jobs
slipping away to Mexico and other
countries while our government
taxes America's diminishing middle
class more and more. It's time for
new leadership in America. We can't
hold our breath any longer.

IOWA PRELIMINARY
WEATHER SUMMARY
By Harry Hillaker, State Climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship
The past reporting week brought
mostly cooler than normal weather to
Iowa. Sunday (13th) was the warmest day in most areas with highs
generally in the 60’s with Clarinda,
Logan and Shenandoah the hot spots
at 70 degrees. Temperatures dipped
below freezing over parts of the state
on Monday, Thursday, Saturday and
Sunday with Pocahontas reporting
the lowest temperature on Thursday
morning at 24 degrees. However,
much of southeastern Iowa has yet to
record a freeze this season. Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged 3.0 degrees below normal. The
week’s greatest rainfall came over
about the western one-quarter of the
state from late Sunday (13th) into
Monday afternoon with amounts of
one to two inches common. Light to
moderate rain fell over most of the
state Monday night into Tuesday
morning. There were scattered light
rain showers somewhere in the state
almost every other day of the week.
Weekly rain totals varied from only
0.04 inches at Iowa City Airport to
2.41 inches at Le Mars. The statewide average precipitation was 0.61
inches or just slightly more than the
weekly normal of 0.56 inches. Soil
temperatures were averaging in the
low 50’s in most areas as of Sunday
(20th).

October, A Jinx in the Making
Are there hoops on the cover of
Sports Illustrated? An 18-year old
freshman soon to be rollicking the
floor boards of Allen Fieldhouse under the shadows of giant Wilt Chamberlain and graceful Danny Manning
of Kansas Jayhawk yesteryears.
Wow, what a surprise for October.
For dedicated sports fans waiting in
feverish anticipation of the weekly
“COVER” appearance, a shock rang
across the newsstands as a single figure graced the magazine.
Yes, hoops, better known in sports
circles as basketball, for sure is
standing strong in Middle America,
and in the middle of October.
What an accomplishment for October, the undeclared All-Sports
Month of the Year.
Everyone knows this Halloween
month provides fans the opportunity
to view professional athletes and
game action of four major sports;
NFL, MLB, NHL and NBA. These
are not exhibition games; these are
real games with real action.
Along with this plethora of professional action, there are also dozens
of college and high school sports
in the mix. So many participants
and spectators playing and watching volleyball, swimming, rugby,
golf, cross country and even lacrosse
among other sports across the land.
Unbelievably, as so many sports
fans know so very well, television,
print, internet and media ratings
have so much to say and too much
power in sports. Is this true with
Sports Illustrated?
Why would the heavy decision
makers influence America’s most famous sports magazine – Sports Illustrated – to feature NCAA basketball
on the mid-month October 14 cover?
Isn’t college basketball still a month
away from regular season competi-
tion?
Yes, the calendar brandishes October; temperatures are nearly football perfect for passing and kicking
the pigskin as cool, crisp, autumn
weather is currently the norm. Not
the anticipated upcoming noises and
smells of indoor basketball arenas.
Not quite yet.
So why a glaring cover photo and
inside story of an 18 year old basketball player who some feel might
change the current landscape of the
collegiate basketball world?
Maybe the Sports Illustrated cover
jinx again occurs. A jinx that rabid
sports fanatics know is an urban
legend manifesting the existence in
which individuals or teams who appear on the cover will ultimately be
jinxed and experience bad luck. Or
so they say.
So many covers from years past
have in fact fell victim to this socalled jinx. But for realists, there
must be a simple explanation. Some
believe that athletes or teams featured previously had fantastic performances to warrant their cover recognition. Thus it would automatically be extremely difficult to replicate
a special sporting feat, especially in
the immediate days and weeks following the photo honor.
Whether a Kansas freshman becomes a superstar on the hard court,
or wallows in the falling depths of
anticipated expectations, this cover
picture and inside story is intriguing.
Jinx or no jinx, at least October is
in full bloom with a variety of sports
to enjoy by everyone. Forget the
basketball playing freshman from
Kansas and even the SI jinx, for
other extraneous reasons, enjoy the
rest of October and all it offers the
sports world.

Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald
Hands Out Treats for Halloween
If you think you have to dress up
and go door to door in search of
goodies this Halloween, think again.
State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald would like Iowans to know there
are plenty of treats in the form of unclaimed property in the Great Iowa
Treasure Hunt. “My office has an
ongoing goal of returning as much
unclaimed property to their rightful
owners as possible,” stated Fitzgerald.
The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt
program has returned over $169 million in unclaimed property to more
than 411,000 people since Fitzgerald
created it in 1983. Unclaimed property refers to money and other assets
held by financial institutions or companies that have lost contact with the
property’s owner for a specific period of time. State law requires these
institutions and companies to annually report and deliver unclaimed
property to the state treasurer’s office. The assets are then held until
the owner or heir of the property is
found. Common forms of unclaimed
property include savings or checking
accounts, stocks, uncashed checks,
life insurance policies, utility security deposits, and safe deposit box
contents.
“There are no tricks, only treats,”
explained Fitzgerald. “Finding and
receiving unclaimed property is an
easy process. We are dedicated to
helping Iowans reunite with their
missing money and property.” Check
the unclaimed property database to
see if the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt
has property belonging to you. Simply visit greatiowatreasurehunt.com
to begin your search.
Pharmacy 101
October is American Pharmacist
Month
Do you know what your pharmacist can do for you?
Pharmacists are the medication experts on your health care team and
by far the most accessible health care
provider to the public.
It is our job to ensure that each patient is receiving the best medication
care possible.
Pharmacists are one of the most
highly trained members of the health
care team. After a four-year post undergraduate program culminating
in the Doctor of Pharmacy degree,
many pharmacists receive additional
years of pharmacy residency training.
Pharmacists are found in every domain of health care and can specialize in fields such as internal medicine, administration, oncology, pediatrics, family medicine, informatics,
critical care, emergency medicine
and many more. In addition to the
vast wealth of knowledge a pharmacist can provide to the other professionals on the health care team, we
can also provide services to our patients such as immunizations, medication therapy management, chronic
disease management and counseling
to make sure each patient is getting
the best possible medication care.
Community pharmacists are finding innovative ways to meet the primary care gap by using their clini-
cal knowledge to manage patient’s
chronic conditions.
As pharmacists have the best understanding of medications, we can
optimize medication regimens to
provide better outcomes for patients,
both for their health and for their finances. As both the amount of medication being used and the information behind each drug is increasing,
pharmacists are becoming ever more
important to decipher the correct

In the fall of 1930, 23 little girls
and 20 little boys tearfully were
torn from their mothers’ arms to
start kindergarten in the old grade
school building. At that time, there
were no pre-schools. The fall of
1940, 36 rural students joined the
freshman class. On the evening of
May 20, 1943, 73 bewildered bodies
skipped across the stage to grasp
their coveted high school diplomas
from Supt. C.J. Christiansen. It was
in the middle of WW II and a few
young men were already in military
service.
Several years later, the school
board gave each an Honorary
Diploma. Two classmates were
killed in action, and one a German
War Prisoner. One sophomore died
in a hunting accident. It was the
first class in Clarion High School
history to graduate wearing Caps
and Gowns, and the last to have the
Mantel Ceremony. One week before
graduation, the Class presented an
entertaining Variety Show before an
estimated crowd of fifteen hundred.
In 1939 and 1940, several
classmates were in the high school
band that received a First and
a Second, respectively, in the
National Marching Band contest in
Minneapolis and St Paul. During the
senior year, the Class President was
elected Governor of the high school.
It was the second and last of such
elections.
During the past 70 years, the
members paid annual dues of $5
and received a “Class Action” news
booklet. For the construction of the
Public Library addition, the Class
gave $1,000. A contribution was
made for the recent band uniforms.
Every summer coffees were held on
the 2nd Tuesday of June, July and
August. The “National” Reunion
was always on the 3rd Saturday in
September; however, the 70th this
year was held on September 14.
This past summer Classmates were
saddened by five classmates‘deaths,
all within six weeks. The Archives
of the Clarion Public Library has
one volume of a continuing Class
History and one volume of Pictures.
For the Finale, the remaining two
Classmates will fraternally toast the
Great GHS Class of 1943!
School district dealt blow
Continued from front
“Since it’s [enrollment] been going
up every year for the last four years,
I don’t see that right now changing,”
Kenealy said. “If all those things are
correct, then that’s where our unused
authority budget could be as a district in outgoing years in the next
four years.”
Before the meeting was over, a
mention that Kenealy was turning in
a letter resignation to the Board of
Education was tabled until the next
meeting on Monday, Nov. 18, in
Greene at 6:30 p.m.

Fifth-graders were fortunate to have Kiley Wintterberg and Laika, the Butler County Sheriff’s drug dog, visit the school to learn about Laika’s ability to help the sheriff’s office.
Seth Diercks works hard to stay
ahead of the pack.
The music department had its first fall concert last Tuesday (Oct. 15). Seventh- and eighth-graders sing away in choir here.
Officer Wintterberg demonstrates Laika’s ability to hold on to an object during the DARE demonstration.
The NBMS cross country team lines up to start the meet. Athletes

Clark said.
It was a good tune-up for the joint
state-qualifying meet at Eagle Grove

1A Corn Bowl teams plus several
others will compete for a chance to
run at Fort Dodge on Saturday, Nov.
2.

West Fork teams sweep
conference cross country titles
MANLY – Both West Fork cross
country teams placed the majority
of its teams in the top-10 to earn the
Corn Bowl Conference crowns on
Thursday, Oct. 17 at Pioneer Town
& Country Club in Manly.
The third-ranked Warhawk boys
team was completely dominant
with all five of their scoring runners
placing in the top seven, led by
Peyton Twedt’s individual title in a
time of 16 minutes, 56 seconds for
32 team points – 12 ahead of runnerup North Butler, ranked ninth in 1A.
Twedt was followed by Jacob
Hansen, who was third at 17:21 and
Drew Engebretson’s fourth-place
finish in 18:09.
Rounding out team scoring were
Colton Rowe (sixth) and Austin Steil
(seventh).
Finishing runner-up for North
Butler was Caleb Wedeking (17:16).
The Bearcats had three in the top 10,
including Jerod Ballhagen (fifth) and
Gavin Scroggin (10th).
“It looked like a state cross
country run with those three (Twedt,
Wedeking and Hansen) battling
up front for the title,” North Butler
coach Kirk Clark said. “Great job
to our high school boys for their
winning performances.”
Meanwhile, Maya Rowe’s runnerup finish in 17:22 to individual
champion North Butler’s Isabel
Derdzinski at 17:16 paced the
Warhawk girls with 32 team points to
out-distance second-place NashuaPlainfield (62).
“She (Isabel) has worked hard
all season and has been pushing all
season to be a conference champ,”
Clark said. “Tonight she got it done.”
North Butler was third in the team
race (67).

LAKE MILLS – North Butler
exacted some revenge on Corn
Bowl Conference foe NashuaPlainfield with a 25-11, 25-15 win in
a volleyball triangular at Lake Mills
on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
The Bearcats, which own a 3-1
record against the Huskies this
season, lost the last time out against
them in a best-of-five match at 3-1
but took the victory before losing to
host school, No. 9 (Class 2A) Lake
Mills, 25-17, 25-23.
“We started strong in both our sets
against Nashua,” North Butler coach
Bryan Tabbert said. “We really
wanted to prevent the Huskies from
building any momentum, as they can
be dangerous when the get rolling.
“We spread the ball around a little
more against Nashua – Jenny Rottler
and Marisa Speedy both finished
with three kills against N-P and our
serving was especially strong.”
Tabbert’s squad missed just one
serve in 45 attempts against the
Huskies with three aces.
According to Tabbert, depending
on how regionals play out, his team
may face N-P again in the postseason.
Lake Mills spread the ball around,
also, with four different players
accounting for 18 of the Bulldogs’
24 kills against North Butler and
keyed on 14 blocks.
For all
occasions!

“Both sets in our loss to Lake Mills
started as back-and-forth battles,”
Tabbert said. “Mid-way through the
first set we fell out of rhythm and
let the Bulldogs pull away from us.
The second set was close the entire
game.”
Kenzie Siemens, who had 22
kills in the triangular, finished with
nine against Lake Mills. Speedy
distributed 19 of her 34 assists in the
two matches.
“Lake Mills is a traditionally
strong program,” Tabbert said. “We
know we can play with anyone and
we need to keep improving and
refining as we head into regionals.”

repair) will still be prohibited without council approval

New Business
George North, representing the Park Board,
told of 3 projects that the Park Board would like
to do at Wilder Park that would need Council
approval as they are over $500. They are:
• Project #1 – sealing old trail – materials
$860.00
• Project #2 – sewer/water to campsites 1-14
– low quote $5,000
• Project #3 – restrooms/shower house painting and seal floors-quote $1,500 to $2,000
Due to the fact that there have been more requests this year for full hook ups the Park Board
sees the need to add water/sewer to campsites
1-14. This would increase the charge for camping on those spots to $16.00 per day. He stated
that project #1 & 3 are maintenance projects
and should be paid for out of the park income.
Project #2 would qualify for TIF funds for infrastructure.
Motion to approve Wilder Park projects by
Platter. Seconded by Smith. Ayes: All. Nays:
Dom Sparrgrove was present at the meeting
to discuss his request for a building permit. The
permit would allow him to construct a 4’ deck
on the second level on the north and west side
of his building @ 321 North Main Street. The
steps to the deck would be on the West side
of the building. He would also be replacing the
sidewalk on the North side of the building and
moving it closer to the curb. He will be putting
in 12 – 16 new windows and all new doors and
putting on new siding. He will be turning the
back portion of the building on the main floor
into two apartments and creating storage in the
front part of the building.
Motion to approve the building permit by
Blockhus. Seconded by Platter. Ayes: All. Nays:
None. Motion Carried.
Lee Gallentine – Ryken Engineering – City
Engineer presented a change order for the new
trail in Wilder Park from Heartland Asphalt, Inc.
as they requested a change in asphalt binder
to make the project more economical which
changed the asphalt price and more aggregate
base to increase the project constructability.
The total change order resulted in a decrease
in the total amount of $19.40.
Motion by Smith and Seconded by Cramer to
accept the change order. Ayes: All. Nays: None.
Motion carried.
Lee also presented a pay estimate for
$42,509.89 for the to date cost for the new trail
at Wilder Park. This money will be paid out of
the REAP Grant that was approved for this
project.
Motion by Blockhus. Seconded by Cramer to
pay for this bill. Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion
carried.
Motion to approve and sign Resolution #1310.1 – Approve the cost for project expenditures
and accept agreement and terms of contract
with DOT for Rise Project RM-0112(602)—
9D-12 by Platter. Seconded by Smith. Ayes: All.
Nays: None. Motion carried.
Allan Brockway stated there is a need for a
spreader for leaf waste that collects at the pile
on the City grounds. The pile cannot be burned
due to DNR rules. The Public Works Department has borrowed a spreader before but due
to the fact there is so much more they felt they
need to obtain their own spreader.
They checked at several places and the only
used one they could find was at Dumont Implement for $6,000. The City discussed the possibility of doing a compost pile. The Mayor is
going to check on other options and get back to
the City Council.
The City Council stated they would be keeping an eye on sidewalks in the City in regards to
snow removal this winter. Winter reminders will
be posted at City Hall, the Post Office and published in the Tribune Journal and on the Web
Page for the City.
Old Business
The City Council decided that Wink’s Diner
does not meet the qualifications for providing him TIF monies as the improvements be-
ing done would not raise the assessed value
enough to meet those qualifications.
Bids for the tube heater for the City Shop
were presented. The Council was unsure about
the requirements of size for the heater as the
two proposals were for different BTU’s. They
asked Public Works to get one more estimate.
As there was no response from the ad in the
papers for Sidewalk ramp prices, the Council
instructed the City Clerk to call several different
people to see if they can give us bids.
The sale of City Land adjacent to the football
field was discussed. The City would spend approximately $1,000 for legal work and abstract
preparation so a minimum sale price was discussed. The Mayor will first check with the party
that was interested in the property to see if he
would be willing to pay that much. They will then
discuss the bid letting possibilities.
With no more business, Blockhus made a
motion to adjourn at 6:52 p.m. Seconded by
Smith. Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion Carried.

Prison inmates “give back” through Leader Dog Program
By Rebecca Peter
The inmates of the Fort Dodge
Correctional Facility (FDCF) are
there for a variety of crimes. The
Leader Dog Program at the prison
gives inmates an opportunity to
“give back” to society. The program
trains dogs for the visually impaired.
James McKinney, acting warden at
Fort Dodge, introduced the program
at the facility in Rockwell City in
2001. McKinney started the Leader
Dog program at Fort Dodge in 2010.
According to Brenda Birchard, Coordinator of FDCF Leader Dog
Program, there are currently 66
“handlers” at the Fort Dodge facility. Leroy Seiler and Mark Greiman,
formerly of Garner, are two of the
puppy handlers at Fort Dodge. Seiler
has been incarcerated since 1980.
Mark Greiman since 1999.
Birchard noted, the number of assigned “handlers” Áuctuates with the
number of puppies ready for training
and “sponsors” for those puppies. (A
“sponsorship” costs $500).
Dogs used in the program are
purebred or a mix of one of the three
accepted breeds: Labrador retriever,
German shepherd or Golden retriever. They enter the Fort Dodge facility at approximately 12 weeks of age
to begin training as guides for the
blind.
The dog handlers under go training for the program as well. Any of
the inmates at FDCF are allowed
to attend the training classes, “but
for one of these men to be assign a
puppy, that man must hold and retain the highest behavioral level that
this institution expects from them,”
Birchard said.
The dogs and their handlers are
together for a year. The dogs are
taught a series of basic commands
(sit, lay, stay, leave it, etc.).
Afterwards the dogs “graduate”
to even more intensive training at the
Leader Dog Campus in Michigan
before they are ready for a career as
a dog for the visually impaired.
Lynn Smith and Jim Arnold, Garner Lions Club members, are puppy
“sponsors.” The Leader Dog program is supported by the Iowa Lions
Club organization.
“When I found out [Seiler] was
a part of the Leader Dog program, I
wrote him a letter and started communicating,” said Smith. Eventually
Smith visited Seiler at the prison.
“He had his dog with him, because
when they train the dogs they’re
with them 24/7.”
Smith attended his Àrst “Puppy
Days” last year. “The program is put
on by the inmates,” he explained.
“I was so impressed with the whole
program I decided to sponsor a dog.
I got to name a dog. His name is
‘Garner’.”
“My wife, Kathy, was a little
skeptical about me communicating
with someone in prison - much less
going to see them.” he continued.
Smith got Kathy to go to this year’s
Puppy Days event at Fort Dodge, on
Aug. 23.
Kathy Smith became an enthusiastic sponsor - only this time, she
wanted to pick the name for the dog.
“Like Lynn said, this is something
that gets infectious,” Jim Arnold
stated. Arnold’s involvement began
two years ago when he was a trustee
for the Lion’s Foundation.
“I was fortunate enough to be assigned as the contact for the Leader
Dog program in the prison,” he said.
“It was the most eye-opening event
I’ve had in my life. I saw we were
actually getting something back
from people who are serving time,
that will carry on and beneÀt a lot of
lives.”
Occasionally a dog just doesn’t
work out as a leader dog. Those dogs
are given a ‘career change’ (perhaps
as a helper dog for a disabled person) and still lead useful lives, Arnold said.
“I’m extremely proud to support the
program,” he said.
Another Garner club, the Garner
Modern Homemakers, sponsors a
Labrador retriever named “Linnsu.”
Greater independence
District Lions Governor Gary
Schriver of Mason City, can personally attest to thoroughness of the
training for dogs. Legally blind for
30 years, Schriver’s dog is Logan, an
eight-year-old Labrador.
Leader dogs are an alternative to
using a white cane, he said.
“I’m a very independent person. I
don’t like to sit around and wait for
people to take me places I need to
go or having to ask someone where I
have to go.”
At Àrst skeptical, Schriver applied for and received a dog. “It’s
the best thing that ever happened to
me,” he said. “They are taught to get
the blind person to where he needs
to go, in the most safe manner possible.”
The dog is also trained to evaluate
the situation when he gets to the
corner. “He will basically watch the
trafÀc for me,” Schriver said.
Shown how to get to a place just
once, Logan will take Gary there - to
the grocery store, to the mall or even
to a speciÀc store in the mall.
“I can go any place now with this
dog and be conÀdent of where I’m
going,” he said. ”It’s really amazing.”
Because of the Leader Dog Program, it cost Schriver nothing to
acquire Logan. “If I had to buy this
dog, it would cost about $40,000.”
Benefits to inmates
The beneÀts of the Leader Dog Program to the visually impaired are
obvious. But what about for the inmates at Fort Dodge?
“I feel there are a plethora of
beneÀts for these men, but also for
those in the community,” said Brenda Birchard. “Some [inmates] have
lost a sense of self assurance, but
went on to nurture another living
creature that went on to guide a visually impaired person, has re-instilled
self-conÀdence into that person that
hopefully will enable that person to
reenter our community with a positive mindset, making it safer for all
who come across their paths.
Birchard has witnessed inmates
who upon either receiving a puppy
for the Àrst time or saying “goodbye” to one, exhibit publically, emotions, “that their court records would
testify directly opposite to!”
“All in all, I feel these precious
creatures heal the mind sets of these
men more than we’ll ever know,”
she said. “Maybe while the puppies
are residing with us, they are inadvertently guiding these possibly psychologically impaired handlers…but
upon reentry they will now adhere
to the standards that society expects
from them - all thanks to a furry
four-legged creature.”

Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork in the Slow Cooker
2 ½-3 lb. Pork butt (also known as pork shoulder)
24 oz. (2 cans) Dr. Pepper
1 medium onion, cut in quarters and then again in half
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 ½ tsp. dry ground mustard
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper to taste
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
3 T. Worcestershire Sauce
Barbecue sauce of choice
Place the chopped onions in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place
the pork butt on top of the onions and add the garlic, ground mustard,
cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire
sauce. Pour the Dr. Pepper on top and cook on high for 4-5 hours (or on
low for 8 hours).
Very carefully, remove the meat from the slow cooker and place on
a large cutting board. Using two forks, shred the pork by pulling away
from each other. The meat should be very tender by this point. Place the
shredded pork back into the slow cooker and continue to cook for an
additional hour.
Drain the remaining juices and toss the meat and onion mixture in the
barbecue sauce of choice until you get to your desired sauciness!

North Butler routs Ed-Co
COLESBURG – North Butler
earned its second win of the season
and second district victory with a
40-14 rout at Edgewood-Colesburg
last Friday night.
Cody
Nelson
and
Dillon
Rademaker ran for a pair of
touchdowns and Shaylon Lahr
caught a couple of touchdown passes
in the victory.
It was by far the best offensive
night of the season for North Butler
in which it rolled up 393 yards of
offense.
Three different Bearcats completed
passes without an interception,
including Cody Nelson’s 36-yard
TD pass to Lahr and Jaret Wunsch’s
12-yard pass as Lahr scored on both
catches he touched. Dalton Nelson
was 1-of-1 for five yards.
North Butler keyed on three
Edgewood-Colesburg
turnovers
with Connor Huberg and Clay
Schultz intercepting passes and
Trent Merfeld recovering a fumble.
Rademaker also led the defense
with 12 tackles, including two for
losses and a sack. Cody Nelson
added 10 tackles, four for losses.
No statistics were available for EdCo.
The Bearcats (2-6, 2-4 Class A
District 3) play host to 1-7 North
Linn, which got its first win of
the season last week against East
Buchanan, to close out the season
this Friday.
