Former library story hour-goers invited to reunion
Story hour at Clarksville Public Library began as an outreach project in

for a reunion at the library during Pioneer Days.
All are welcome to the Circle of
Friends program set for Saturday, June
14, at 3:30 p.m. Clark will share stories
with Willie the Puppet and other puppets, as well as songs during a nostalgic
story hour reunion. Interactive activities
will also be held.

Treasurer Fitzgerald Announces the Top 10
New Unclaimed Properties in Butler County
There is a Top 10 list for just about
everything. State Treasurer Michael
L. Fitzgerald has a Top 10 list of his
own, the Top 10 unclaimed properties. “We are locally listing the largest
10 unclaimed properties available for
claim in Butler County,” Fitzgerald
said. “I encourage all Iowans to check
their local newspaper for the Great
Iowa Treasure Hunt list that will be
published soon. Individuals can also
check online at greatiowatreasurehunt.
com.” The list of the Top 10 properties in
Butler County is being released in
conjunction with the upcoming spring
publication of the Great Iowa Treasure
Hunt. It includes thousands of names
of individuals with unclaimed property
that have been received in the last year.
“People believe they would never lose
track of their assets, but it happens all
the time,” said Fitzgerald. “My office
makes it easy for you to find and claim
what is rightfully yours.” The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt program has returned over $175 million
in unclaimed property to more than
423,000 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 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. Visit the unclaimed property database to see if the state treasurer has
property belonging to you. Simply
visit greatiowatreasurehunt.com to begin your search. Be sure to like Great
Iowa Treasure Hunt on Facebook and
follow the program on Twitter @GreatIATreasure.

Tabitha Ubben from Bristow spent
spring break volunteering time and
service during an Alternative Week
of Off-Site Learning (AWOL) trip
STORM LAKE - Ten Buena Vista
University (BVU) students participated in an AWOL (Alternative
Week of Off-site Learning) trip during spring break, enabling them to
volunteer their time and service with
a focus on environmental research
and animal rescue in Costa Rica.
Students concerned with environmental issues and conservation
traveled to Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula to volunteer at the Widecast
Sea Turtle Station, where they netted, weighed and tagged turtles, and
collected tissue samples to check the
endangered sea turtles for parasites
before releasing them back to the
ocean. They then went to a local elementary school in Matapalo, Costa
Rica, where some students helped
teach English and others worked to
improve the playground by fixing
signs, planting a garden so they can
use the produce in their cafeteria,
cleaning and picking up litter around
the school grounds.
Tabitha Ubben from Bristow participated in the trip. Ubben is a junior biology major at BVU.
AWOL has sent over 500 volunteers and completed nearly 18,000
hours of service worldwide, furthering its mission to immerse students
in different cultures, heighten social
awareness and advocate life-long
social action through service on a local, regional and international level.
Four AWOL trips took place this
year, with over 40 BVU students
participating. The other trips focused on children and poverty in
Montego Bay, Jamaica; disaster relief and clean-up efforts in Greeley,
Colo.; and hunger and health outreach in Staten Island, N.Y. Information about the additional AWOL
trips can be found on BVU’s website
at www.bvu.edu/news.

Bipartisan Accomplishments Strengthen Economy & Working Families
Iowa legislators adjourned the 2014
session after reaching bipartisan agreements, which will have big benefits for
our state. Republicans and Democrats
worked together to expand opportunities for all Iowans while strengthening
economic security for working families.
The top achievements of the 2014
session include legislation that would:
• Balance the state budget without
raising taxes. Iowa is expected to have
a budget surplus of about $610 million when this fiscal year ends. We also
have $649 million in our reserve funds,
the largest amount in state history.
• Expand skills training to help Iowans fill openings for good jobs at local
businesses.
• Increase funding for infrastructure
investments and funding incentives for
businesses that create good local jobs
and grow the economy.
• Keep tuition affordable at our colleges and universities, including leading the effort to freeze tuition at Iowa
State, UNI and the University of Iowa
for the second year in a row.
• Boost student achievement in our
K-12 schools through investments in
early reading initiatives and quality
teaching.
• Continue our commitment to Iowa’s
quality of life with strong investments
in the environment, as well as cultural
and recreational opportunities.
I want to thank all the constituents
who took the time to contact me during
the session. Your suggestions and priorities are reflected in many of the bills
that made it to the Governor’s desk. As
your State Senator, I am available to
you year around. Please get in touch in
the coming months with any concerns
and ideas you want to share. You can email me at amanda.ragan@legis.iowa.
gov.
I look forward to working together
for a bright future for our children and
for the state of Iowa.

Problem-solving
The time on the wall says stress.
The sign on my head I can’t see. But
the only thing I do is listen.
I perk up my ears, yet not a sound can
be heard within the walls of my living
room.
Quiet is the neighborhood outside,
quiet is the room and quiet is everything but the tick, tocking of the clock
on the wall.
I slink further back into my lazy chair,
my mind trying to figure out where that
awful noise is coming from. It’s something funky, I think. Tiresome really. It
reminds me of a dog bursting out of a
kennel trying to chase its tail. Complete
madness.
Gotta do this, gotta do that, gotta be
here, gotta go there, gotta call them,
gotta be square…
Hope It’s a Good One!
Once again Farm Safety Day is upon
us (May 1st) and the forecast is for
chilly, breezy and rainy! At least a blizzard is not in the forecast this year! (I
am seriously considering doing this in
the fall next time around.)
I wish the name could be changed because only two of the twelve sessions
are limited to the farm, animal and grain
bin. Several families opt out of sending
their kids because “they don’t live on a
farm” but we have so much more that
we offer during the day! Then again,
sometimes “city” kids get hired to help
with livestock or during harvest. With
all the livestock diseases this year, we
will be using animal magnets instead of
live animals this year.
Several new sessions are coming to
the fairgrounds this year. We have Matt
Mahoney & Clint Deutsch coming
from REC, Mitch Nordmeyer, Joyce
& David Dickes from Emergency Services and Haylee Henke from the Iowa
Soybean Association.
We will have the Aplington-Parkersburg FFA presenting the sessions on
Grain Bin Safety and ATV Safety. Rumor has it those kids attended sessions
on those two topics this week at their
FFA Convention. Looking forward to
the new information these kids bring
back!
Back again this year is Francis Edeker with his Railroad Safety. I just don’t
think it would be a Farm Safety Day
without Francis and he always does
such a great job! Our good friends from
the Sheriff’s Office, Jason and Mike,
will present our Firearm Safety ses-
sion. Bill Arndorfer, Region 9 Director, is helping us out once again with
Chemical Safety and Susan Stocker
from Iowa DNR will help us out with
Water Safety. We missed Susan last
year when we had to postpone a week
so glad to have her back!
Of course I’ve put my County Council members to work leading sessions
on Animal, Bike and Sun Safety.
The Butler County Dairy Promoters
will be furnishing an ice cream treat at
the end of the day, but maybe we should
be offering hot chocolate instead!
The Butler County Farm Bureau has
generously agreed to provide lunch for
all the presenters. Thanks Ruth for preparing and serving all of us!
Farm Safety Day would not and
could not happen without the cooperation of many groups and individuals so a big THANK YOU goes out to;
Aplington-Parkersburg High School,
Clarksville High School, North Butler
High School, Waverly Shell Rock High
School, Butler County Fair Board,
Iowa DNR, Butler County REC, Francis Edeker, Bill Arndorfer, Mitch Nordmeyer, Butler County Sheriff’s Office,
Butler County Dairy Promoters, Butler
County Farm Bureau, Iowa Soybean
Association, County Council Members, Progressive Ag, Ruth Kampman
(How many times did we have to redo
the schedule, Ruth? 12 times?) and my
husband for helping get set up once we
moved all the groups inside buildings!
By the time you read this, the 2014
Farm Safety Day will be in the books.
Hope it is a good one!
Whoaaaaa, whoaaaaa, I buck up from
the recliner. Slow down buddy boy. But
there is no buddy. Then I realize it’s
me man. My brain is a circuit short or
something. It must be stressed out. I
should have never looked at the clock, I
think. Time also makes me nervous.
I have to turn this off. If only a lever
or switch could do it.
Instead, I consciously try to shut off
my mind, you know, let the questioning
pass on by. I’ll just wait ‘er out.
After a few seconds, it begins to slow
down. But after another few seconds, it
speeds back up to its normal frequent
annoyance. The questions become
more specific to chores, jobs and other
tasks I must do. It sounds like a 1980s
rap without all the b-bopping and sound
effects.
I gotta get my clothes out of the dryer
I gotta shower and find more towels
I gotta go to work and put it all behindda
I figure out what to get my momma
I gotta pick up all that garbage
I gotta start the world on fire
I gotta get it all today
I don’t know whether to dance or
cry, I mean this type of thing could rival Pants on the Ground. Then I hit the
remote control, trying to drown out the
rap. But I cannot focus, the verses are
getting stuck in my head and I’m wondering what the chorus is. Stop it, I say
to myself. Don’t obsess about such a
song that’s really stress.
So I count. When in doubt, just count.
One apple, two apple, three apple,
four apple…
I think I need to count down though.
Ninety-nine apple, 98 apple, 97 apple, 96 apple…
Why does it have to be apples I think
after a bit. Why couldn’t it be grapes.
Bananas I can see, they are too big, but
strawberries. Or maybe it’s because it’s
one syllable. Yes, one syllable. But I’m
doing it again, getting caught up all in
it.
I better troubleshoot before I delve
more into this apple thing. I grab
scratch paper and a pen from the desk,
and try to listen to the noise. However,
every time I try to listen, it stops – and
then starts again.
Gotta wash those clothes boy
Gotta go to work
Don’t forget to shower
Clean up man
And make lunch
Then go to work
It starts up again. Man, what a headache. I take a couple Ibuprofen, and realize it’s only 7 a.m.
I begin to write down what I remember from the phrases, and then just carry
around the pen and paper. Wa-la, the
problem dissipates seemingly for good.
Now what?

Are you are looking for a new way to
deal with children?
What if it’s not about children?
What if what you are looking for is
a feeling within yourself that you can
have – no matter what children are doing?
This is possible – and it’s easy. The
key is to allow instead of force. Think
gentle flow, and you’ve got it.
Follow these three steps to shift reality – imagine, feel, and focus:
1. Imagine whatever the desire. Think
of an ultimate goal. Play with the goal.
Expand it and contract it to find true desire.
2. Feel sensations of already having
the desire. Identify the feeling or sensation when desire is felt. Check with
body and actually feel sensation.
3. Focus on feeling of desire. This is
more expansive than just focusing on
desire or identifying feelings. This is
actually feeding feeling. By focusing
on feeling, waves of energy are sent
into the universe saying the feeling of
desire.

where pastures have seen more growth.
Iowa preliminary weather summary
By Harry Hillaker, State Climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture &
Land Stewardship
A very slow moving storm system
brought a prolonged period of rain to
the state over the past reporting week.
Rain first moved into Iowa on Saturday (26th) night and finally exited the
state Thursday (1st) morning with the
heaviest rain falling on Sunday (27th).
A few brief periods of very light rain
also moved through the state over the
first weekend of May but were mostly
inconsequential. Weekly rain totals varied from 0.55 inches near Rock Rapids in Lyon County of far northwest
Iowa to 4.42 inches at Bondurant in
Polk County of central Iowa. The rain
changed to snow over portions of north
central Iowa on Tuesday (29th) night
and Wednesday (30th) morning bringing about two inches of accumulation
to parts of Mitchell, Howard, Floyd
and Chickasaw counties. The statewide
average precipitation was 1.64 inches
while normal for the week is 0.98
inches. This was the third consecutive
week with above normal precipitation
for Iowa, however the northwest and
southwest corners of the state have
continued to lag normal during this
time period. Temperatures during the
week were mostly below normal. Only
the southeast corner of Iowa climbed
above normal on Sunday (27th) and
Monday (28th) while the far south just
barely edged back above normal on
Saturday (3rd). Daytime highs were
mostly in the 40’s across northern Iowa
from Monday (28th) through Thursday
(1st). Temperatures for the week as a
whole averaged from three degrees
below normal along the Missouri border to eight degrees below normal near
the Minnesota border with a statewide
average of 5.7 degrees below normal.
Severe thunderstorms were reported
from 13 southeast Iowa counties Sunday (27th) afternoon. The strongest of
these storms produced a tornado which
touched down northeast of Ottumwa
and continued northeastward nearly
fifty miles to west of Iowa City resulting in two fatalities in Keokuk County.

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of
Agriculture Bill Northey today commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather
report released by the USDA National
Agricultural Statistical Service. The
report is released weekly from April
through October.
“Planting was slowed by the wet
weather that affected much of the state
for several days last week, but 23 percent of the corn crop has now been
planted,” Northey said. “Farmers will
look to make significant progress on
corn and some will likely start planting
beans if we do get several days with
warm dry weather as forecast.”
The weekly report is also available
on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website
at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on
USDA’s site atwww.nass.usda.gov/ia.
The report summary follows here:
CROP REPORT
Cool weather and persistent wet
conditions hindered fieldwork in Iowa
during the week ending May 4, 2014,
according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Average
temperatures were below normal for
the week, but average precipitation was
above normal. Statewide there were 0.9
days suitable for fieldwork.
Recent precipitation improved soil
moisture levels. Topsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 12 percent short, 72 percent adequate and 14
percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels
rated 10 percent very short, 32 percent
short, 54 percent adequate and 4 percent surplus. Northwest Iowa remained
the driest with over one-third of topsoil
reported as very short or short of moisture.
Planting progress advanced little
during the week. Oat seeding was 73
percent complete, 9 percentage points
ahead of last year but 16 percentage
points behind average. Thirty-eight
percent of the oat acreage had emerged,
ahead of last year’s 21 percent, but 23
percentage points behind the five-year
average. Twenty-three percent of the
expected corn acreage was planted,
9 days ahead of last year but 10 days
behind normal. Corn started to emerge.
There were scattered reports of soybeans being planted.
Pasture condition rated 7 percent
very poor, 17 percent poor, 41 percent

Bipartisan Accomplishments Strengthen
Economy & Working Families
A Sad Day For Iowans – The United
States Senate failed to successfully
move forward with Sen. Tom Harkin’s
Minimum Wage Fairness Act, which
would have restored minimum wage to
$10.10.
“It’s a sad day for the 300,000 Iowans
who work long hours in tough jobs and
are struggling to provide the basics for
themselves and their families,” said
Rep. Bruce Braley. “America shouldn’t
be a country where you can work a
tough, full-time job and come home
and find yourself and your family living in poverty.”
The bill received support of 54 senators, but failed to acquire 60 votes needed to advance.
Wind Energy Is Good For Iowa –
Braley recently told key Congressional
leaders that the Wind Production Tax
Credit must be renewed if the United
States wants to continue moving toward energy independence.
WPTC has created billions of dollars
in energy investment in Iowa and over
6,000 jobs. “The benefits of this industry – local
investment, domestic jobs, and energy
independence – are exactly what Congress should prioritize,” Braley wrote.
Workers Memorial Day –Workers
Memorial Day, held every April 28,
is an internationally recognized day
to honor workers who have been killed
or injured while on the job.
“As someone whose family was
deeply affected by a workplace injury,
it’s important that today we remember
those who have died or been injured
while on the job,” Braley said. “We
have to maintain a commitment to
workplace safety and continue to ensure that our workers—the most important resource we have—are protected.”
Millions of Americans suffer from
occupational injuries and illnesses every year. • Clarksville Star • Butler County Tribune-Journal •

Consumer Advisory
Attorney General Tom Miller
www.IowaAttorneyGeneral.com
Act protects consumers from fraudulent charges
The Fair Credit Billing Act protects consumers from unfair and fraudulent charges
on open-end credit accounts.
The law applies to credit cards and revolving charge account; however, it does
not apply for debit cards or more traditional
loans. The FCBA gives the cardholder the right
to dispute unauthorized charges.
Always check monthly credit and debit
card statements to dispute fraudulent charges.
When disputing a fraudulent credit card
charge or billing error:
Report it immediately to card issuer.
Send letter to the creditor (address for billing inquiries), include account number, full
name, mailing address, a description of dispute and copies of relevant receipts or documentation. Make a copy and save original
receipts and documents.
Send letter via certified mail, requesting a
return receipt. Pay for any other charges on bill that isn’t
disputed, but withhold payment on the disputed charge and other charges related to
the disputed amount.
The creditor must acknowledge a complaint in writing within 30 days after receiving it, and resolve the dispute within two
billing cycles of receiving a letter, or within
90 days.
During the dispute, creditor may not
threaten credit rating, report as delinquent
or take legal or collection action.
Creditor must explain error and remedy in
writing, credit account and remove fees or
charges related. If creditor agrees, nothing
more than $50 will have to be paid. Creditor must explain in writing that will
be responsible for disputed charge, plus any
finance charges. However, a complaint may
still be filed the Attorney General’s Office.
Free trial offers
Many free trial offers result in ongoing
charges, because the trial wasn’t cancel in a
certain number of days. Discovering the unknown charge, contact
the company directly and ask to remove
charges. Then follow up with credit card
company to dispute or ensure the chargers
are removed.

Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken
down into nine 3x3 boxes. To
solve a sudoku, the numbers
1 through 9 must fill each
row, column and box. Each
number can appear only once
in each row, column and box.
You can figure out the order
in which the numbers will
appear by using the numeric
clues already provided in the
boxes. The more numbers
you name, the easier it gets to
solve the puzzle!

SPRING HOME IMPROVEMENT
Ways to Update Your Home’s Outdoor Spaces for the Season
(StatePoint) Are your home’s outdoor
spaces a viable place to dine, relax and
entertain? If not, consider making better use of your patio, balcony, yard or
deck by prioritizing this home upgrade.
“Your home’s outdoor spaces, like the
rooms inside it, should be comfortable,
attractive and designed for everyday
living,” says Leah Drill, spokesperson
for Bed Bath & Beyond. “Don’t underestimate the potential of these areas.”
Drill is offering some tips for making
your yard your favorite “room” of the
house:
• Weather resistance should be a
top consideration when picking outdoor furniture. Rust-resistant steel and
tempered glass are both great options.
Wood furniture should be properly
treated to withstand the elements. For
covered spaces, you have fewer limitations on materials.
• Don’t sacrifice comfort or style
for weather resistance -- the two can
co-exist. Use cushions and pillows to
brighten modern decor and add comfort
and style to chairs, chaises, loungers
and benches. For example, Bed Bath &
Beyond’s Wildwood Toss Pillows are
easy to clean and are made using fabric
that is resistant to mildew, fading and
stains.
• Shade is crucial. Be sure to create
plenty of it with strategic vegetation
and umbrellas.
• Make your patio or deck feel more

“homey” and add a splash of color
with an outdoor rug. Check the tag to
see if the rug is made of polypropylene, which offers staining, fading and
mold resistance. Another great feature to look out for is UV resistance.
• Don’t make your guests leave a
great party to head inside every time
they need a new beverage. Make
your patio complete with an outdoor
bar.
• Give the space a centerpiece with
a gas burning fire pit. It’s a great place
for guests to gather.

Whether you’re updating a small
balcony or outfitting a spacious yard,
there are plenty of ways to increase
the comfort and functionality of your

Seasonal Home Maintenance
Tips that Save Time and Money
(StatePoint) If you’re not careful, basic
and seasonal home maintenance can
cost you a pretty penny and a lot of
time. Take steps to simplify these tasks.
Clean and Organize
Even if you use a professional cleaning service, you’ll still need some inbetween maintenance:
• Divide clutter into three groups:
junk, charity and undecided. Toss the
first, give away the second and store
the third until you decide whether it’s
worth keeping.
• To reduce dirt, use only one entry
door into your home and use doormats
inside and outside.
• Clean the house and each room
from the top down. Dust first, vacuum
last. Scrub, wipe and polish in straight
lines instead of circles. Squeegee windows and mirrors with an initial horizontal stroke across the top, then vertical strokes, wiping the blade after each
stroke.
• Store basic cleaning supplies in an
apron or bucket and carry them with
you from task to task.
• Change furnace filter and replace
vacuum bags monthly.
Don’t miss vents when you dust.
For more cleaning tips or to book a
professional cleaning service to give
your home top-to-bottom treatment,
visit www.MerryMaids.com.
Cooling Costs
Want to reduce cooling costs? Follow
these tips:
• Have air conditioning systems pro-
fessionally inspected and cleaned before the season.
• Keep the area around the exterior
condensing unit clear of obstructions to
ensure adequate airflow.
• Clean or replace the air conditioner
filter monthly to save up to 10 percent
on your bill.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for unit maintenance.
• If your air conditioning system
breaks down, a home warranty can
help protect you from unexpected
repair costs. It covers the repair or replacement of many of the most common home system component breakdowns regardless of age, and can be
purchased any time, not just when a
home is bought or sold. Last summer,
American Home Shield responded to
nearly 700,000 requests for air conditioning repairs during record-breaking
heat waves. To learn more about home
warranties, visit www.YouTube.com/
TheAHSTeam.
Fight Pests
Termites cause more than $5 billion
in annual damage across the country.
Unfortunately, termite destruction can
go unnoticed for years and is rarely
covered by homeowners insurance.
“If you detect a termite swarm, it
could mean your house has already suffered damage,” says Paul Curtis, Terminix entomologist.
While eliminating termites requires
the help of a trained professional, there
are ways to make your home less invit-
ing to these wood-destroying pests:
• Fix roof and plumbing leaks.
• Clean gutters to avoid water accumulation near the foundation.
• Don’t pile mulch, firewood or soil
against your house, which can hide ter-
mite activity and allow easy access into
the home.
• Prompt treatment and annual inspections can save thousands of dollars
in damage repair.

Keep Grilling Delicious and Healthy this Summer
(StatePoint) In summer, outdoor dining is
the name of the game -- whether you’re
hosting friends or just feeding the family
on your patio. Unfortunately, many traditional grilling options can be time-consuming to prepare and high in calories,
fat and sodium.
So how can you make your next barbecue healthy and easy?
Easy Sides
A summer salad is easy to toss together, and makes for a healthful accompaniment to your grilled selections. Avoid
heavy dressings and mayo-based salads.
Instead, reach for olive oil and lemon
juice or vinegar to dress your greens.
Swap out iceberg lettuce and include a
leafy base that contains more vitamins
and nutrients, such as romaine, red leaf
or arugula.
A tiny bit of preparation goes a long
way with easy-togrill vegetable
sides. An easy
marinade can
really bring
out the flavor
in asparagus.
And corn-onthe cob grilled in the
husk doesn’t need much more than a
pinch of salt and herbs to taste great.
Main Dish
Rather than load guests down with
something fattening and heavy in the
heat of summer, consider lighter alternatives that are easy to prepare.

Chicken Grillers with Fresh Mozzarella:

• 8 Rolls, deli style
Directions:
• Pre-heat to medium.
• Lightly coat with cooking
spray or olive oil.

per side to an internal temperature of 165
F.
• To assemble: slice deli roll in half, top
with the grilled patties, slices of mozzarella cheese and roasted red peppers.
• Serve immediately.
For other healthy grilling options,
consider al fresco’s two other delicious
Gourmet Chicken Grillers:¬† Caramelized Onion and Buffalo & Blue Cheese.
Both are made with lean, skinless chicken meat, have no artificial ingredients,
nitrates, nitrites or MSG, and contain
half the fat of a beef burger. Additionally,
they can go straight from the freezer to
the grill with no defrosting or marinating, making it a stress-free alternative for
your next BBQ.
More recipes and grill ideas can be
found at alfrescoallnatural.com.
Dessert
For dessert, stick with cool, crowdpleasing treats that are light and easy to
serve. Top low-fat frozen yogurt with
root beer and you can end your meal on
a sweet float note without guilt. Or make
a fat-free gelatin mold stuffed with fresh
peaches, strawberries and bananas.
You don’t need a high-fat, high calorie
barbecue to have a good time on the patio
this summer. When it comes to grilling,
think fresh, natural and light.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
The Origins of Mother’s Day
Today Mother’s Day or Mothering Sunday is celebrated all over the
world. For florists and card shops the
event is one of the highlights of the
year, but the roots of Mother’s Day
are not commercial.
Motherhood has been celebrated
since ancient times. The ancient
Greeks paid homage to Rhea, the
Mother of Gods; and there are records of the ancient Romans worshiping a mother Goddess known as
Cybele as early as 260 BC. Festivals
took place in the spring which was
the most fertile time of the year.
The more modern way of honoring mothers began in England in
the 1600s where Mothering Sunday
was observed on the fourth Sunday
of Lent. This day is also known as
‘Refreshment Sunday’, the only
day when you are allowed to eat or
do whatever you have given up for
Lent. Not surprisingly, families came
together and took the opportunity to
party with a big meal at which mother was treated as the guest of honor.
Traditionally, mothers were given
posies of flowers and a cake.
The term ‘Mothering Sunday’ is
now falling into disuse and has mostly been replaced by ‘Mother’s Day’,
which is used the world over.
In the USA there were several attempts to introduce a Mother’s Day
as a way to celebrate peace and heal
the scars of war. Julia Ward, who
wrote the words to the Battle Hymn
of the Republic, suggested the idea in
1872. But the idea didn’t really take
off until Anna Jarvis campaigned for
the establishment of a Mother’s Day
to commemorate her own mother
who died in 1905. Ward’s mother
herself had tried to establish a similar
holiday, Mother’s Friendship Day, to
heal the pain of the Civil War.
The first Mother’s Day in the
USA was held in 1907 when Julia
Ward held a ceremony to honor her
mother. She then successfully campaigned for a formal holiday to honor
mothers and by 1911 most states had
taken up the idea. This was followed
in 1914 by a declaration by President
Woodrow Wilson that Mother’s Day
should be celebrated as a national
holiday on the second Sunday in
May. The idea quickly spread to
Canada and Mexico and many more
countries throughout the world.
The commercialization of Mother’s
Day quickly followed, much to the disgust of Anna Jarvis who was arrested
in 1923 at a Mother’s Day festival for
trying to stop women selling flowers.
Jarvis said “I wanted it to be a day of
sentiment not profit.
Ironically Anna Jarvis campaigned
for many years against the commercialization of Mother’s Day, the day she
had worked so hard to establish.
Although she had no children of
her own, each Mother’s Day Anna received hundreds of cards from all over
the world. Anna Jarvis died in 1948.

Ideas For Your Mom
By Sharon Lauer
It’s the single hardest job in the world.
There is no formal education for it. It
has no monetary value. Availability
must be 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It is also the most important job anyone
has ever had. It will give you the greatest joy and the deepest sorrows your
heart has ever felt. It will touch tomorrow in a way no other job can. Think
you can handle it? The job is motherhood.
We all have a mother. With our lives
as busy as they are we can forget to tell
our mom how great she is. Luckily, one
day a year is reserved as a special tribute to our teacher, our biggest fan and
maybe even our best friend. So is there
a gift special enough for that special
lady? What could you possibly send
her to convey your appreciation for her
years of kissing boo-boos, finding lost
shoes and letting you live through your
teen years?
For the answer, let’s look at your
mom. What are the other loves of her
life? When she’s not completely engrossed in you, what does she like
to do? Is it reading, gardening, art, or
shopping? The answer to the perfect
gift lies within her.
Does her perfect day involve digging
through dirt and talking to insects? If
she loves to garden a gardening basket
will be a sure hit. It celebrates the coming spring as well as her years of selfless
dedication. How about a basket filled
with seed packets, gardening gloves, a
garden tool or two and some sweet
treats. She’ll think about you with
every newly opened bloom.
Does your mom have a sweet
tooth? Is she the one with a secret
stash of her favorite chocolates? A
basket stuffed with all the sweet favorites she craves should make her
smile. If you really want to spoil
her you can give her some of those
gourmet chocolates she’s always
dropping hints about. Add some tissue paper for filling and a nice bow
to make it pretty and she’ll be completely impressed.
Every mom enjoys a night out
of the kitchen. What’s her favorite
restaurant? A gift certificate or even
better, a date for dinner with you is
sure to be a special gift. If your mom
is more of a homebody, surprise her
with take out from that restaurant.
Either way her cravings are satisfied, the kitchen stays clean, and she
gets to spend time with you.
The gift of relaxation is one that
every mom deserves. Make it easy
for her to find peace with a nice spa
basket. Fill it with luxurious bath
beads, bath salt, a real sponge and a
big fluffy towel. Add some candles
and a CD of mood music and relaxation is hers.
To some tea is an art. If that describes your mom’s feelings about
tea, give her a gift she’ll love. Make
her a tea basket. Gather some of her
favorites; add a special teacup and a
maybe a sentimental book dedicated
to motherhood. The soothing scents
and flavors will give her a moment
of bliss in a busy day.
If you want to get your mom the
best gift of all you don’t have to
search far. Most moms just want to
be with their kids. Spend some time
with her on this special day. Make
your gift to her a day spent with
you. Have lunch, take in a movie,
go shopping or something else she
likes to do. Give her your time. It’s
the most precious gift any of us has
to give.

Tips for Celebrating Mother’s Day on a Budget
(StatePoint) With Mother’s Day around
the corner, you may be thinking of ways
to show your appreciation for mom.
If you’re on a budget, you’re in luck.
The discount experts at Dollar General
are sharing helpful advice.
• Breakfast in Bed: Every mom deserves some time to relax. Why not
begin Mother’s Day by pampering her
with breakfast in bed? Don’t forget to
make the meal complete with a card
and a cup of coffee.
• Watch it Grow: Spend Mother’s
Day afternoon making memories with
Mom and see your love grow all spring
and summer. Pick out a beautiful new
planter with gardening tools, soil and
seeds. Work together to plant something beautiful. As the plants grow, she
will be reminded of you!
• Bake and Make: Update and
brighten Mom’s kitchen without overspending. At a discount retailer such
as Dollar General, colorful new oven
mitts and kitchen towels are available
for $1 dollar each. Look for her favorite
colors or the ones that best complement
her kitchen.
Give Mom an opportunity to use her
new gifts by packaging them together
with an easy cupcake or brownie mix
and kitchen utensils. Baking together is
a great way to spend quality time while
providing yummy treats to celebrate
the big day!
• Tell the Birds: Get Mom a themed
birdhouse with bird seeds, or consider
making a birdhouse together as an afternoon arts and crafts project. Either
way, you can help her find the best
place in the yard to enjoy the colorful
and beautiful birds that will soon be
frequent visitors. They’ll be singing all
season!
Everything from lawn and garden
items to birdhouses, as well as great
recipes and mixes to celebrate Mom

Junior High Track
Finally Under Way
By Katie Gallmeyer
JH Girls Track
On Friday, May 2, the junior high
girls track team participated in a
meet at South Tama.
Although they placed second to
last, Coach Chris Arians was proud
of their effort.
“For the first meet, we did very
well,” Arians said. “They made a lot
of first time mistakes, a lot of errors
we could improve on.”
Cora Lundgren got second in shot
put and McKayla Lebeck got fourth
in discus.
“We need to work on exchanges
and starts,” he added. “They need
to pace themselves. A lot of them
would start off sprinting an 800, and
they were dead after half a lap.”
Cora Lundgren, an eighth grader,
participated in shot put, 800 meter
dash, and the long distance medley.
“I think I did okay in some things,”
Lundgren said. “I need to pace myself.”
Eighth grader Kilie Smith participated in the distance medley, 200
meter dash, and the 4 x 4 relay.
“I think I did bad. I could have
done much better. I let the team
down,” Smith said. “I think we need
to work on pushing ourselves.”
Hannah Freerks, an eighth grader,
ran the 800 meter dash and the distance medley.
She commented saying, “I think
we did okay. We need to stop say-
ing we can’t do it. I need to work on
picking up my speed.”
The junior high girls track team
will be working hard to improve for
their next meet on May 5 against
Tripoli.
By Ryan Groah
JH Boys Track
On Friday, May 2, the boys junior
high track team attended their first
meet of the season.
“I think we did pretty well for our
first meet,” Coach Chris Arians said.
“There was only one other team at
the meet that hadn’t been to a meet
yet. It was a disadvantage, but the
boys just went out and competed.”
At the meet, the 4 x4 and 4 x 1 represented Clarksville well in the running events, while Blake Johnson in
shot put and Spencer Gray in high
jump represented Clarksville just as
well in the field events.
“I think that as a whole our team
just needs more experience,” Arians
said.
“This was still only our first meet
because of the weather. I think it was
good for getting rid of nerves, and
really helped us out,” he added.
“We’ll just try to get in as much
experience as we can before the end
of the season.”
The next junior high boys track
meet is this Monday, May 5 at Tripoli.

The Way It Was
by Dave Clark
110 Years Ago: Spring, 1904
The special services and bonnets
were all good Sunday.
There was a great millinery display at
the churches Sunday. It was Easter.
A big gun being cast at Reading,
Pa. is to have a range of thirty miles.
It may yet come to past that shot not
only be heard around the world but
fired around it as well! A prediction, all
those years ago, that was close to being very accurate.
The men who have been putting in the
new steel bridge across the Shell Rock at
this point for the Chicago Great Western
completed their labors Saturday and Sunday left for Ft. Dodge where they have
work of a similar class. This is now the
bridge across the river on the bike trail.
Waverly is feeling blue over the announcement that on April 20th the condensed milk factory in that place will shut
down. The owners make no further announcement. This factory employs a large
number of hands, thirty families being
dependent upon it. Besides many farmers
have secured especially fine dairy cows,
anticipating that the factory had become a
permanent thing. The factory forced many
creameries out of business for they could
not complete with it. No reason is given for
the shutdown.
Some research on the Internet turned
up some history about this factory and
because of its later connections to many
Clarksville citizens I thought it might be
of interest. Parts of this information were
taken from the Waverly Independent Newspaper of 1956.
“The Mohawk Condensed Milk Co. was
established in Waverly in 1896 and operated until 1904 when it closed and was
used as a creamery for about three months.
In July of that year the plant was developed into a “caramel factory”, a unique
type of operation for that day.” “Another
listing called it a “chocolate factory”
Then on May 1, 1906 when it became apparent that the “caramel factory” wasn’t
paying out the plant went back to being
a “condensery”(ok) I also found a listing
that said the address of the factory was 70
Penn Street which I never heard of in Waverly.
Operation became quite successful with
about 20 people employed and the yearly
average pack amounted to about 70,000
cases.
Sometime in the 1920s The Carnation
Company bought the factory and of course
the rest is history.
W. E. Day’s team was hitched at F. M.
Hart’s Tuesday. A Great Western train
came along and shattered the nerves of the
animals, and they wheeled around; crossed
the road and turned somersaults over the
hedge at Mrs. M. Rozell’s. The damage
was light. I haven’t listed a run-away for
awhile so thought I’d throw one in, always
many to pick from.
Henry G. Kephart who had reached the
age of 100 years and 2 months died April
20. Born in PA in 1804, one of sixteen children, he married in PA in 1839; they were
the parents of eight sons and one daughter.
His wife died in 1862 in Dubuque County,
IA. He came to Clarksville in 1874 with
some of his children including son Taylor
who became well known as a wagon and
buggy maker in this area. His wagon factory was on both sides of North Main, including the site of Doc’s Tap.
Henry could be found every work day in
his son’s shop but due to an earlier injury
his work was greatly curtailed.
A hydrant at the northeast corner of the
school house was repaired last week. It
was found that 900 barrels of water had
been daily leaking from it. At least they
knew there it went!
An AD from William Bucholz and Son,
Clarksville, Iowa has some interesting
things for sale even if I don’t know exactly
what they are, neither did my computer
spell checker, it seems?
“In the very new goods for dainty Waists,
we can give you these:” Cream Pointelle
Eolienne at $1.40…Hand embroidered
Silk Pongee at $1.15.
“The always reliable CRESCO and the
celebrated Royal Worcester Corsets that
are warranted not to break, only $1.00
each.” I’m sure those were bargains.
75 Years Ago: Spring, 1939
AD: Homemade Ice Cream…Special
for Saturday & Sunday…Butter Brickle
Ice Cream; Pints…15 cents, Quarts…30
cents…Poppe’s Grocery. We paid $2.00
for one scoop of Butter Pecan the other
day and thought we had a good deal!
The City Council has let the contract for
painting the water tower to a tower painting company from La Porte City.
The structure will be painted inside and
out with two coats of red lead inside and a
primer and two coats of aluminum on the
outside. The roof will be painted bright red
and the name “Clarksville” will be painted
in 3 foot letters as it is now. The job will
start as soon as weather permits with a contract price of $445. Do you see something
seriously wrong here, red lead paint on the
inside of a water tower, which would seem
contrary to the danger of lead poisoning
we hear about today?
Although approximately 2000 dogs
have been listed by the various assessors
of Butler County only 960 licenses have
been sold. The license become delinquent
on April 1 and after that date a $1 penalty
will be attached. I wonder how that worked
out, probably not well, as it is no longer required to license your dog in Butler Co.
May 8th is VE Day (victory in Europe
Day).
In the list of crazy holidays May 8 is officially “No Sock Day.”

COMMUNITY NEWS
Hope It’s a Good One!
Once again Farm Safety Day is upon
us (May 1st) and the forecast is for
chilly, breezy and rainy! At least a blizzard is not in the forecast this year! (I
am seriously considering doing this in
the fall next time around.)
I wish the name could be changed because only two of the twelve sessions
are limited to the farm, animal and grain
bin. Several families opt out of sending
their kids because “they don’t live on a
farm” but we have so much more that
we offer during the day! Then again,
sometimes “city” kids get hired to help
with livestock or during harvest. With
all the livestock diseases this year, we
will be using animal magnets instead of
live animals this year.
Several new sessions are coming to
the fairgrounds this year. We have Matt
Mahoney & Clint Deutsch coming
from REC, Mitch Nordmeyer, Joyce
& David Dickes from Emergency Services and Haylee Henke from the Iowa
Soybean Association.
We will have the Aplington-Parkersburg FFA presenting the sessions on
Grain Bin Safety and ATV Safety. Rumor has it those kids attended sessions
on those two topics this week at their
FFA Convention. Looking forward to
the new information these kids bring
back!
Back again this year is Francis Edeker with his Railroad Safety. I just don’t
think it would be a Farm Safety Day
without Francis and he always does
such a great job! Our good friends from
the Sheriff’s Office, Jason and Mike,
will present our Firearm Safety ses-
sion. Bill Arndorfer, Region 9 Director, is helping us out once again with
Chemical Safety and Susan Stocker
from Iowa DNR will help us out with
Water Safety. We missed Susan last
year when we had to postpone a week
so glad to have her back!
Of course I’ve put my County Council members to work leading sessions
on Animal, Bike and Sun Safety.
The Butler County Dairy Promoters
will be furnishing an ice cream treat at
the end of the day, but maybe we should
be offering hot chocolate instead!
The Butler County Farm Bureau has
generously agreed to provide lunch for
all the presenters. Thanks Ruth for preparing and serving all of us!
Farm Safety Day would not and
could not happen without the cooperation of many groups and individuals so a big THANK YOU goes out to;
Aplington-Parkersburg High School,
Clarksville High School, North Butler
High School, Waverly Shell Rock High
School, Butler County Fair Board,
Iowa DNR, Butler County REC, Francis Edeker, Bill Arndorfer, Mitch Nordmeyer, Butler County Sheriff’s Office,
Butler County Dairy Promoters, Butler
County Farm Bureau, Iowa Soybean
Association, County Council Members, Progressive Ag, Ruth Kampman
(How many times did we have to redo
the schedule, Ruth? 12 times?) and my
husband for helping get set up once we
moved all the groups inside buildings!
By the time you read this, the 2014
Farm Safety Day will be in the books.
Hope it is a good one!

4-H Youth
Conference
AMES, Iowa -- More than 1,000 teenagers are expected to converge on the
Iowa State University campus June
24-26 for the Iowa 4-H Youth Conference. They’ll take part in three days
full of speakers, workshops, mixers,
dances, a banquet and community service activities.
“The conference gives these youth
the opportunity to meet new friends,
find new opportunities, and learn
about the community and themselves
in the process,” said Brenda Allen,
conference coordinator and 4-H youth
program specialist.
Youth who have completed 8th
grade through 12th grade are eligible
to attend the Iowa 4-H Youth Conference. Youth do not have to be 4-H
members to participate, Allen said.
The theme for this year’s conference
is “Ticket to Success,” Allen said. Delegates will have the chance to discover
what excites them, whether learning
more about themselves in workshops
to become more prepared for the future or serving the community to create success locally. Through discussion groups and other activities, youth
will build leadership and other skills to
take back to their own communities.
Online registration for the conference is now open, and youth must register by 11:59 p.m., May 30. The registration fee is $175. More information
and the registration link can be found
at www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/iowa4hyouthconference.

Yard and Garden: Lawn Mowing Tips
AMES, Iowa — Proper mowing practices play a vital role in helping to
maintain a healthy, sustainable home
lawn. Horticulturists with Iowa State
University Extension and Outreach answer questions about lawns and lawn
mowing. Homeowners and gardeners
with lawn questions should contact
horticulturists at Hortline by emailing
hortline@iastate.edu or calling 515294-3108.
What is the proper mowing height for
a lawn?
Kentucky bluegrass lawns should be
mowed at a height of 2.5 to 3 inches in
the spring and fall months. Mow bluegrass lawns at a height of 3 to 3.5 inches in June, July and August. A higher
mowing height in summer helps to cool
the crowns of the turfgrass plants, encourages deeper rooting and provides
more leaf area for photosynthesis during the stressful summer months.
Mowing below the recommended
range may scalp the turf and cause the
turfgrass to deteriorate. Low mowing
heights make the turfgrass more susceptible to drought, high temperature
and wear injury. In addition, low mowing heights increase the likelihood of
weed problems.
Mowing too high reduces tillering
and causes matting of the grass. Reduced tillering results in fewer and
coarser plants. Matted grass creates a
micro-environment that encourages
disease development.
How often should I mow my lawn?
Kentucky bluegrass lawns should be
mowed at the height of 2.5 to 3 inches
in spring and fall. Set the mower blade
to a height of 3 to 3.5 inches during
summer.
As a general rule, never remove more
than one-third of the total leaf surface
at any one mowing. For example, to
maintain a lawn at 3 inches, the grass
should be mowed when it reaches a
height of 4.5 inches.
Mowing frequency is based on the
growth rate of the turfgrass. Weather
conditions, cultural practices (such as
fertilization and irrigation practices)
and other factors determine the growth
rate of turfgrass.
Kentucky bluegrass and other cool-
season grasses grow quickly in spring
when weather conditions are favorable.
The growth of cool-season grasses
slows in summer and then picks up
again in fall. Fertilizing and irrigating
the lawn on a regular basis promote
turfgrass growth. In spring it may be
necessary to mow every four to five
days, possibly only once every one to
two weeks in summer, with more frequent mowing again in the fall.
Should I remove the grass clippings
when mowing the lawn?
When the lawn is mowed properly,
grass clippings do not need to be removed or bagged. Small clippings filter
down into the turf and quickly decompose, returning essential plant nutrients
to the soil. Lawn clippings do not significantly contribute to thatch development.
Grass clippings may need to be
bagged or raked and removed when
mowing extremely tall grass. You also
may want to bag the grass clippings and
use them as a mulch in vegetable and
flower gardens.
What are some good mowing practices?
Whenever possible, mow the lawn

when the grass is dry.
Wet grass is more difficult to cut
and occasionally clogs rotary mowers.
Also, it’s safer to mow the lawn when
the grass is dry, as there is less risk of
slipping and being injured by the mower.
Mow the lawn with a sharp blade.
Sharpen the mower blade each
spring. Thereafter, periodically inspect
the blade and sharpen as needed. A dull
blade tears the ends of the grass blades.
The damaged tissue dries out, giving
the turf surface a whitish appearance.
Also, the torn leaf tissue loses greater
amounts of water and increases the possibility of disease problems.
Alternate your mowing pattern or direction each time the lawn is mowed.
Repeatedly mowing the lawn in the
same direction pushes the grass over
rather than cutting it cleanly. Also,
different mowing patterns reduce soil
compaction and wear from the mower
wheels. Establish several mowing patterns that result in as few turns as possible. Less turning reduces mowing time
and damage to the turf from the turning
mower wheels.

Ancient Roman times were brutal.
Allison author Dave Smith proves
this yet again in a sequel to his first
book, Corinth: The Centurion.
Similar to Capernaum: The Centurion, Jesus has a lurking presence
throughout the 102 pages of Corinth.
But, the sequel is an adventure from
one place to another. Smith even brings
up the Odyssey during one of the centurion’s excursions by sea, as the small
group travels for three months by ship
and wagon.
Corinth begins with the trio of Vibius, Minta and Grati (the servant) still in
Capernaum, Israel, before a new character is introduced named Dmitri. The
strapping, young Grecian meets them
at customs station, as they wait for a
wagon. Dmitri lets them know of the
danger of King’s Highway, and asks
to travel with them instead of going it
alone.
Vibius acquiesces, proving later to
be a very smart move. Also, the new
character adds the element of entertainment – competing in pankration (mix
of wrestling and fighting).
Eventually leaving Capernaum,
the foursome heads north to Cyrrhus,
Syria, to officially retire Vibius. However, once there, General Gracchus
cannot grant Vibius freedom, as doing
so would likely mean his life. Due to
killing Zeeb, the leader of the zealots
in Capernaum, Zeeb’s son, Akar, seeks
revenge.
So to protect Vibius, Gracchus sends
him off to Rome to report about Maximian’s and troops being murdered by
the zealots (beginning of the book).
Before leaving Cyrrhus, though, the
lovebirds – Vibius and Minta – get married. The group then carts off to Troas, a
port in Asia Minor.
Following Troas, the group ships
west to Rome, passing through the Isthmos of Corinth, a four-mile paved track
near midway that takes ships over the
land.
With plenty of time to kill while the called Teutoburg, which is available at
