Interview:
Q. What was the toughest part of the
JANSSEN to page 16
Clarksville Community School students, Trees Forever volunteers and city staff planted 30 trees throughout town on May 5 in
honor of Arbor Day, which was April 29.
Varieties planted included river birch, scarlet oak, thornless
hawthorn (a shorter tree for areas under power lines) and Turkish filbert, which is related to hazelnut shrubs that are native to
Iowa.
Students heard about considering the tree variety dimensions
and preferences for the location; calling Iowa One Call before
digging (811) to steer clear of underground utilities; breaking up
the potted tree’s roots; digging the hole so the new tree’s roots are
flush with or just above the ground, so they get plenty of water
and oxygen; and the importance of mulching.
The committee mulched the following day.
Meredith Borchardt with Clarksville Trees Forever saw a few
hands go up when she asked who had a summer mowing job.
Anyone mowing should be careful not to bump the trunks of
young trees, Borchardt said.
When mulch wears away, the grass comes up and the tree tends
to get hit with the mower. A mower or even a string trimmer can
hurt the vascular layer of a young tree, through which it obtains
nourishment.
Keeping up with mulching is important because it helps keep
the mower or trimmer from bumping the tree, she said.
Mulch, a chicken wire cage, a geometric shape of posts, or
even a slit, corrugated vacuum tube around a young tree can
help. Borchardt pointed out decorative landscaping bricks or
plastic shingles holding in the mulch around nearby trees. Small
shade plants that needn’t be mowed can also be planted around
trees to protect the vascular layer. More photos on back.

Top Trends for Upgrading Your Outdoor Space
Yard and Garden—
Dealing with Spring
Pests in Fruit Trees
Richard Jauron, Extension Horticulturist and
Greg Wallace, Organizational Advancement
Iowa State University
Estension and Outreeach
AMES, Iowa - With spring’s arrival, fruit trees
are blooming across home landscapes, as their
owners hope for a tasty harvest. However,
pests that afflict them can throw a wrench into
those plans.
How should pests that attack fruit trees be
handled? Iowa State University Extension
and Outreach horticulturists can help decipher
these issues. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-2943108 orhortline@iastate.edu.
The leaves on my peach tree are puckered
and reddish in color. What is the problem?
The symptoms are those of peach leaf curl.
The disease is caused by the fungus Taphrina
deformans. Infections occur as the peach tree
buds begin to swell in spring.
A single fungicide application will control
peach leaf curl. Fungicides, such as chlorothalonil, should be applied in fall after leaf drop or
in late March before the buds begin to swell.
To achieve control, all branches and twigs
must be thoroughly sprayed.
A small greenish worm is eating the foliage
on my cherry tree. What should I do?
The greenish worm is probably the pear
slug. The pear slug is not an actual slug.
It’s the larval stage of an insect (sawfly). The pear slug feeds on pear, cherry,
plum and several other woody plants.
The slug-like larvae are yellow but usually
appear olive green or black because of a covering of secreted slime. The mature “slug” is
about 1/4 to 3/8 inch long. Larvae feed on the
leaves for about four weeks. When full grown
the larvae drop to the ground, burrow into the
soil and pupate. Adult sawflies emerge in May
and June (first generation) and late July and
August (second generation). After mating, female sawflies insert eggs into the leaf surfaces
of suitable plant hosts. The eggs hatch in one
to two weeks.
The larvae feed on the upper surface of
leaves, eating the tissue between the leaf
veins, but leaving the veins themselves. (This
feeding pattern is known as skeletonization.)
Leaves that are heavily fed upon by the larvae
turn brown, as only the veins and a thin layer
of tissue remains on the leaves. Heavily dam-
aged leaves may drop from the tree. Fortunately, pear slugs seldom cause serious damage to
healthy, well-established trees. Pear slugs are
easily controlled with insecticidal soap, neem
oil, bifenthrin, carbaryl, malathion, permethrin, spinosad or other general landscape insecticide sprays.
There are caterpillars and tent-like structures
in the crotches of my apple tree. How do I get
rid of them?
The caterpillars are likely eastern tent caterpillars. Eastern tent caterpillars emerge in late
April and early May from eggs that were laid
on small twigs last summer by female moths.
The caterpillars feed on the buds and foliage of
apple, crabapple, wild plum, cherry and similar trees. On cloudy, rainy days and at night,
the caterpillars remain in the protective confines of their tent. On warm sunny days, they
go out and feed on the tree’s buds and foliage.
Tents are initially small, but are gradually enlarged as the caterpillars feed and grow in size.
The caterpillars are full grown about six weeks
after hatching.
While eastern tent caterpillars may defoliate branches or portions of a tree, they do not
seriously harm most healthy, well-established
trees. The defoliated branches will leaf out
again in a few weeks. Trees may be seriously
weakened if heavily defoliated in several consecutive years.
Damage to trees can be minimized by removing and destroying the tents and caterpillars as soon as they are noticed. Tent removal
should be done in early morning, late evening,
or on cool rainy days when the caterpillars are
gathered in their tents. The tents and caterpillars can be removed with a broomstick, forked
branch or by hand.
Do not attempt to burn the tents and caterpillars. This is a dangerous procedure that may
injure the tree.
It is seldom necessary to control eastern tent
caterpillars with insecticides. If insecticides are
used, they should be applied when the caterpillars are small. Insecticides are less effective
on mature caterpillars. Spray the tree’s foliage
within two feet of the tents. (Tents are water
repellent so spraying them with water based
insecticides are not very effective.) Effective
insecticides include Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel, Thuricide, etc.) and carbaryl (Sevin).
FAMILY FEATURES -No matter
the season or the region, outdoor
living is hot. As spring approaches,
here are six of the top trends that
will influence the look, feel and
function of outdoor spaces in 2016.
Outdoor rooms: Thanks to advances in all-weather materials,
furnishings and accessories, you
can outfit an outdoor living space
in much the same way that you
would any room in the home. As
a result, expect to see decks with
features such as integrated benches
with upholstered cushions, privacy
walls and ornamental post caps and
railings with decorative balusters
similar to those found inside the
home.
Railings that rule: Another outdoor element that’s being influenced by indoor styling is deck
railings. When it comes to selecting the best railing for your outdoor
space, design experts recommend
using one of the “Three C’s” – coordinate, contrast or customize. To
make the selection process even
easier, Trex, the world’s largest
manufacturer of high-performance
wood-alternative decking and railing, recently introduced a set of
curated railings that pair beautifully with the brand’s most popular
decking colors.
Cooking with class: Americans
have taken backyard cooking and
dining to a whole new level. Heading into the outdoor living season,
expect this trend to continue with
increasingly functional outdoor
kitchens complete with cooking
islands, pizza ovens, refrigerators
and all-weather cabinetry and storage features.
Warming features: One of the
hottest trends – literally – for 2016
is the incorporation of warming
features into outdoor spaces. From
candles and tiki torches to fireplaces and lighting, products that
lend physical and ambient warmth
will be in high demand. Look for
increased use of LED lights integrated into deck railings, stairs and
yards as homeowners seek to enhance the ambiance and safety of
their outdoor space and extend the
time they can spend enjoying it.
High-tech decks: Home automation is hugely popular right now, so
it’s only natural that the tech trend
should migrate outdoors. From
lighting and music controlled
from a smart phone to motorized
rear-projection screens synced to
outdoor LED televisions, homeowners are now able to bring their
entire entertainment system outdoors.
Leisure without the labor: For
those that want to spend more time
enjoying, rather than maintaining,
their outdoor space, high-performance composite decking, such as
Trex Transcend, is an ideal choice
– delivering all the beauty and aesthetics of wood without the timeconsuming upkeep. Unlike wood,
composite decking, resists fading,
staining, scratching and mold – and
won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter.

ideas, visit trex.com.
5 Tips to Remove the ‘Pain’ from Painting
Family Features-If painting is on
your list of home upgrades to tackle this year, you may find yourself
procrastinating to avoid a painful
process. However, with the right
tools and a little preparation, you
can achieve the new look you want
and a finished product that makes
you proud.
Before you get started, take inventory of your painting supplies
and ensure you have plenty of
brushes (including extras, if you’ll
have help), paint trays, masking
tape, clean-up rags and drop cloths
to protect your floor or furniture.
Make a list of any items you need
to purchase, and before you head to
the store, measure your space one
last time to ensure you know how
much paint you need to buy.
Follow these additional tips for a
painting project that delivers a big
home improvement gain without
the pain:
1. Lights on, lights off. Think
about lighting when choosing your
paint. It is easy to pick a color solely based on a photo or swatch, but
it is important to think about your
specific room and how the lighting
may affect the color’s appearance.
What is the natural light like? Will
you still like the color once the sun
goes down?
2. Timing is everything. Prime
painting season runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. One
important reason is that when the
weather is nice, you can open up
the windows and get some circulation running through the room for
faster drying times and better air
quality.
3. Prepare for everything. Before
Spring is here!

you begin painting, protect surfaces
and ensure sharp lines by masking
off your painting area. Pull off a better paint job with new ScotchBlue
Platinum Painter’s Tape, which
tears by hand at a straight, 90-degree
angle for fast cornering. The tape is
made from advanced poly material
that helps prevent paint seepage and
removes in one piece without tearing or slivering.
4. Make it fun. Get the whole
family involved in the project.
Having kids take part will help
give them a sense of ownership
and responsibility for the family home, and make the end result
more personal.
5. Revel in the results. Putting
in the legwork in advance will pay
off when you get the freshly painted look you want, and you’ll want
to celebrate the accomplishment.
Make sure to take before and after
photos to show off your hard work.

paint job at scotchblue.com.

alone and confused. Franklin General
Hospital’s new Cancer Support Group
will provide those touched by cancer
a safe place to share their stories and
emotions and find the strength and confidence they need to fight through the
difficult times.
The FGH Cancer Support Group
will hold their first meeting Thursday,
May 26 at 5:30 p.m. at the FGH Board
Room. All are welcome.

well as an opportunity to provide them
practical information regarding treatment options, pain management and
other aspects of their care.”
The FGH Cancer Support Group will
allow people to talk about their experiences with others living with cancer, which can help reduce stress. The
group dynamic can create a sense of
belonging and understanding , as well
as provide learning opportunities.
Anyone with questions regarding the
FGH Cancer Support Group can contact Wittmer at 641-456-5930.

OPINION / EDITORIAL
The Alternative

The failed hog plant project
Allan Inc.
– Water/
Sewer debt.
The recent article in the Butler County Tribune-Journal stated Mayor Scot
Henrichs mentioned on April 25, 2016,
that Allan Inc. was behind on their water bills and were trying to work out an
arrangement.
Just for clarification, the mayor made
no mention of this problem until I asked
City Clerk Glenda Miller if Allan Inc.
had been paying their water bills. City
Clerk Miller then acknowledged that
Allan Inc. was having problems paying
their water bill since the first of the year.
If I had not asked, I am not sure when
the city council would have been notified of this ongoing problem with nonpayment by Allan Inc. Now we are not
talking chump change here, more to the
tune of twenty to thirty thousand dollars. With such a large amount of money owed to the city, it begs a question
why the mayor and city clerk did not
bring this issue to our attention immediately.
With upgrades and complying with
requirements from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources on our
sewer system, the council adjusted the
rates with guidance from our financial
advisor. One of the biggest oversights
over the years was how much water Allan Inc. was using and discharging into
our sanitary sewer system, on average
over a million gallons per month.
While the burden for paying for upgrades to our sanitary sewer system
falls on all users, I believe the biggest
user also needs to pay their fair share.
James A. Blockhus,
Allison city councilperson
Hogs paid for our farm. I remember
hearing them called “the mortgagelifter.” Now I know why. They also
provided our kids with responsibilities, something my aunt from California says is lacking in urban environments. Looking back, I wouldn’t have
changed a thing in the way we raised
pigs, or kids.
When we had 200 market-ready pigs
in open lots, they smelled as bad as 10
times that many if they had been in
a controlled environment. The work
was hard and dirty. Luckily for us, our
farm was not a place to envy, so nobody tried to sic the government on us.
The failed attempt by Prestage
Farms to build a packing plant in Mason City mimics how we now seek an
authority to command what we want,
rather than finding a way to acquire
it ourselves. We look at terrorism or
drug abuse and think we can have a
higher authority simply whisk them
away with force. We view everything
like the symptom is the disease. Such
short-sightedness doesn’t make things
better. Does anyone really think these
two wars have cured the problems
they address?
The war on the new way to raise
hogs didn’t cure the problem either. As
we drive around the country we pass
confinements that we thank God are
not near our home. But occasionally
we don’t notice any smell at all. Pit
additives and other technologies have
made it possible for good-hearted
neighbors to have little impact on the
ones around them. But the laws were
not written to solve a property rights
issue any more that the war on terror or
war on drugs was meant to eliminate
terrorism or drug abuse. The laws are
enabling devises for people who are
well-connected to the politicians who
write them. They give them license to
infringe on the rights of others legally

‘Where’s the beef?’
May is National Beef Month and no
one knows beef like Iowa! What’s your
favorite cut of beef? In my humble
opinion, a hamburger grilled to perfection can’t be beat!
Many years ago (1984 to be exact)
one of the fast-food chains (Wendy’s)
used a little old lady (Clara Peller) in
their TV commercials. Clara, looking
at a huge hamburger bun and a tiny
hamburger patty asked (rather loudly!)
“Where’s the beef?” I gathered from
that commercial she wasn’t very satisfied with the amount of meat she was
getting!
Today at most restaurants or even
fast-food chains you can get a burger
with over half-a-pound of meat if you
want! Wouldn’t that make Clara’s day!
Did you realize that Clara was 81 when
she made those commercials over 30
years ago?
Beef has had some tough times.
Oprah Winfrey decided beef wasn’t
good for us and began her campaign
against it in 1996 during an interview
with Howard Lyman. Following Winfrey’s proclamation, beef prices plum-
meted to a ten-year low. Texas ranchers sued her but they eventually lost.
Should any one person have that much
influence over what people eat and the
livelihood of thousands of people? If
she didn’t want to eat it she didn’t have
to but leave the rest of us alone!
So what’s the truth; is beef good for
us or bad? The experts tell us beef may:
• Protect your heart
• Lift your mood
• Increase mortality
• Increase cancer risk
Well that’s just a little confusing and a
lot contradictory!
Per capita consumption of red meat in
1965 was 75 pounds/person and today
it is 56 pounds/person. I have come to
the conclusion that anyone can find a
statistic to back up whatever they want
to. Moderation is the key. A 3-4 ounce
serving of red meat two times a week
is considered healthy. If you select lean
cuts you make it even healthier.
So fire up your grill, put on a burger
or two and tell a cattle producer, Thank
you!
Go Beef!
by having regulations supersede the
right to control our own property.
Law, in general, has gravitated to
a regulatory nightmare from a place
where it was once intended to protect
a person’s right to private property.
Make no mistake, a cook-out in the
yard accompanied by a neighbor’s
hog smell is a matter of trespassing.
But when the short-sighted activist organizations lobbied to address the hog
smell issue, they accepted the law-asregulation model as if there was a set
distance where the smell goes away.
I can’t imagine they thought there
would be a predetermined distance
that would work for every situation.
They compromised in order to gain
anything they could because they
knew they could never beat the people
who didn’t care about their stinky barbeque.
An aspect seldom mentioned regarding the Prestage plant is the government (taxpayer) incentives offered.
Property tax rebates of $11.2 million
and state tax credits of $15 million
would have been money out of our
pockets eventually. But the unseen effect would have been the distortion of
a free market by such transfers. Over
$26 million would have been made
unavailable to entrepreneurs in other
sectors and if Prestage needed that to
build such a facility doesn’t that shed
some doubt on the viability of the
plant? Whatever happened to business
decisions based purely on supply and
demand?
Ken Kehrli, a recognized expert
in the hog business, suspects we are
looking at “a train wreck” when the
additional 8 to 9 million head come
to market required to keep the five
planned additional plants operating in
our area.
Iowa State University economist,
David Swenson said the Mason City
plant would do little to improve workers’ earnings. That sets me to wondering: Will government somehow step
in to circumvent the law of supply and
demand with an additional 2,000 jobs
in a town the size of Mason City? This
kind of thinking should alert us the to
fallibility of government involvement
in business.
It is not true that nothing would happen without top down control. There
would be less malinvestment and
more capital available for genuinely
viable business ventures. We have
stagnant wages and the lowest labor
force participation rate since the late
1970s. This has not happened through
lack of government control.
Lack of incentives doomed the Prestage plant, not the lack of approval of
the project itself. With little mention
of this in the media, it shows a sad acceptance of incentive practices as being the order of the day. We may have
avoided a bubble on a smaller scale
than the housing bubble; therefore an
inevitable bust. The “kooks,” as Ron
Prestage called them, may have unintentionally saved this area from a
2,000 person economic problem.

Fighting Addiction
While it’s an honor and privilege
to serve the people of our district and
of Iowa, I’m grateful to be done with
spending so much time in Des Moines
and being able to spend more time at
home in the district. As I said in my
last newsletter, I’m very proud of the
work we accomplished this year and
I’m confident that it will benefit many
Iowans.
Over the last decade, Iowa and countless other states are experiencing an epidemic. It’s a problem that has crept up
slowly over the years with hardly any
realization of the impact that it’s having on our communities. I’m speaking
of the widespread abuse of heroin and
opioids in our state.
Numerous families have seen the
devastating effects of abuse and addiction first hand. Opioid addiction
doesn’t contain itself to an age group,

a particular race, or economic status.
What may have started as an injury
that led to prescription drugs to manage
pain, has turned many to using heroin
to get their opioid fix when prescriptions were done.
Since 2005, abuse of opioids has increased dramatically. The number of
people receiving treatment for heroin
or opioid abuse has nearly tripled in the
last nine years. In 2005, 608 Iowans
received some sort of treatment for
opioid abuse, but the most recent data
(2014) puts that number at 1,999
Even more consequential is the num-
ber of Iowans who have lost their lives
at the hands of addiction. 52 Iowans
died of an opioid overdose in 2014,
compared to just 12 in 2005.
To combat this growing epidemic
and get people on the path to recovery,
this year the legislature passed Senate
File 2218. This bill, which has already
been signed by the Governor, authorizes emergency medical professionals to obtain and administer an opioid
antagonist, like Narcan, which can help
to prevent an opioid overdose death.
While these drugs don’t prevent or stop

The Marvel Way
There’s a lot to unpack about “Captain America: Civil War.”
I knew I was going to write about it
this week, but had a hard time deciding
what exactly to write about. Do I breakdown the philosophical battle between
Captain America and Iron Man? Do I
apply the film’s conflict with the political conflicts of the real world?
Maybe eventually, but this week I
think I’m just going to dedicate this
column to expressing how great a job
Marvel Studios has done, not just on
their most recent movie, but collectively over the last eight years.
I’ll admit I had plenty of concerns
about this movie going in. Nothing
gold can stay. Even Pixar has a flop or
two under their belts at this point. I was
mildly worried that this may be where
Marvel Studios finally faltered.
All the warning signs were there,
starting with the source material.
In the comic books, the Civil War storyline was an absolute mess. It was an
incoherent crossover event that took a
good premise and failed to deliver on
every level.
If that weren’t bad enough, then came
the unending string of secondary characters. First with the announcement
that Captain America would be sharing top billing with Iron Man, a move
that seemed uncomfortably similar to
Batman being injected into the Man of
Steel sequel.
Then came Black Panther, a move
that seemed uncomfortably similar to
Wonder Woman being injected into
BvS, because everybody loves it when
you dedicate screen time of the movie
you’re watching to set-up next year’s
film.
Then came Spider-Man.
Now this Captain America movie has
not only turned into a makeshift Avengers movie, but it also has to set-up a relatively obscure character and introduce
Spider-Man for the third time in fifteen
years.
And, somehow, the Russo Brothers
made it work.
“Captain America: Civil War” does
what the comic never did by clearly
laying out what the heroes were fighting over and making both sides of the
conflict sympathetic. Sure, in both
versions Tony Stark makes some bad
calls, but his actions in the movie are
far more understandable than his comic
book counterpart, who pretty much immediately goes full fascist.
Unlike “Batman v Superman: Dawn
of Justice,” which took good comics
and made a bad movie out of them, this
film took bad comics and made a good
movie.
As for Black Panther and SpiderMan, one would think their forced inclusion into the story would be a distraction, but it isn’t. The Black Panther
plays an important role and gets satisfying character arc of his own. It’s hard
to imagine the movie working without
him.
Spider-Man... okay, Spider-Man
could have been done better. Not that
there was anything bad about him, far
from it. Tom Holland is a great Peter
Parker both in and out of costume and
his brief appearance in the movie is easily one of the highlights.
But it is a brief appearance. He is
introduced, takes part in the big super
hero brawl, and then immediately vanishes from the movie until the second
after-credits scene. For a moment it
looks like Spider-Man may take a page
from his comic book counterpart and
switch sides, but he never gets that far.
That said, it’s saying something that
one of my biggest criticisms of the
Captain America movie is that there
isn’t enough Spider-Man in it.
All in all, “Captain America: Civil
War” continues the Marvel Studios
tradition of taking something that
shouldn’t work and making it work
anyway.
Making five unrelated movies lead-in
to a single crossover film was unprecedented, but “The Avengers” made a
billion dollars anyway.
Dedicating a movie to a team even
most comic book readers barely knew
about? “Guardians of the Galaxy” rose
to the challenge, proving that you don’t
even need name recognition to make a
hit.
Dropping a critically acclaimed director and handing a movie off to a guy
who has mostly made romantic comedies? “Ant-Man” should have been a
disaster, but ended up being better than
average.
Even the most common complaints
about Marvel Studios, that their movies
are too tonally similar and that they’ve
become reliant on the audience seeing
previous movies, aren’t really flaws.
Those traits are part of why Marvel
Studios has been such a success.
Where other studios change comic
book stories to work with traditional
filmmaking practices, Marvel is adapting traditional filmmaking practices to
work with comic book stories.
There is a lot to be cynical about in
today’s world. Aversion to risk seems
to have paralyzed everything from
politics to media to entertainment. It’s
good to see Marvel Studios not only
take such risks, but succeed at them.

The 2016 legislative session wrapped
up April 29. It was a tight budget year,
but as always, we balanced the state
budget responsibly. Iowa will end the
fiscal year with a $75 million surplus
and $700 million in our reserve funds.
Some of our biggest accomplishments include:
• Safeguarding the interests of Medicaid recipients with oversight of the
Governor’s new privatized Medicaid
program in Iowa.
• Improving K-12 student achievement
through investments in early reading
initiatives and quality teaching.
• Investing more in apprenticeships
and job training so that workers get the
skills they need to fill immediate openings at local businesses.
• Providing more funding for our state
universities and community colleges,
and for grants to help students attend
Iowa’s private colleges.
• Boosting Iowa agriculture and renewable energy by promoting solar,
wind, geothermal and biofuels, as well
as turning byproducts from biomass
into higher-value products.
• Spurring Iowa’s tourism economy
and quality of life with investments in
the environment, recreation, arts, culture and history.
• Strengthening public safety with
more help for victims and enhanced
emergency communication systems so
that first responders and law enforcement can communicate with each other.
• Tax cuts and other incentives to help
small businesses, farmers, teachers and
college students.
Because we have a split Legislature—with Democrats controlling the
Senate and Republicans in charge of
the House—all bills that made it to the
Governor’s desk required bipartisan
support. Though we’d hoped to accomplish more, we chose compromise over
gridlock.

in Parkersburg. He graduated from the
Clarksville Community School where
he excelled at baseball; was offered a
baseball scholarship as a pitcher; and
was prep of the week. Jake enlisted in
the United States Army and served during the Korean War and was stationed in
Germany.
On October 28, 1956, Jake was united
in marriage to Donna Mae Dralle at St.
John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church Vilmar, rural Greene. The couple made
their home in Allison, and then moved
to Clarksville. In 1972, they moved to a
farm near Bristow, where Jake farmed.
Through the years Jake was a farmer and
always held another job so Donna was

in Shell Rock; and retired from Unverferth Manufactuing Co. in Shell Rock where
he was recognized in his inventiveness in tool design.
He was a member of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church – Vilmar, where he
had served in his earlier years, on the church council and was also a past member
of St. John Lutheran Church in Clarksville.
Jake loved watching his grandkids play sports and participate in their extra circular activities. He enjoyed fishing, Pepsi, whistling to old time favorites and shopping at Wal-Mart. He seemed to have a sweet tooth and always had candy for his
grandchildren. He was a caring father and a devoted and loving caregiver to his
wife Donna, for her last 20 years.
Jake died on Wednesday, May 4, 2016, at his home. He was preceded in death
by his wife of 57 years, Donna, on May 21, 2014; his parents; three brothers: Clarence, Hank, and Wally; and five sisters: Anna Bartell, Hilda Sells, Annette Sessler,
Darlene Vance, and Ruth Busching.
Jake is survived by seven children: Cindy (Gary) Dean, of Shell Rock; Sally
Tapp of Bristow; Diane (Ross) Zimmerman, of Aredale; Susan (Rick) Riebkes,
of Wellsburg; Tammy (Jeff) Cuvelier, of Collins; Todd (Mitzi) DeGroote, of Maxwell; and Stacey (Chad) Reichert, of Waverly; 18 grandchildren; and 18 greatgrandchildren; two sisters, Dorothy Jans, of Clarksville; and Alice (Jim) Jacobs, of
Allison; one sister-in-law, Dottye DeGroote, of Kingman, AZ; and one brother-inlaw, Frank Vance, of Clarksville.
Funeral services were held 10 a.m., on Tuesday, May 10, at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church – Vilmar in rural Greene with the Rev. Mark Walker officiating the service. The organist was Florence Vieker and she accompanied the
congregation as they sang “In The Garden” and “Amazing Grace.” Emmy Cuvelier provided special music as she sang “How Great Thou Art.” Emmy was accompanied by Sharon Cuvelier. Eli Reichert recited the poem “I Like To Talk With
Grandpa,” which he had written. Burial was at Lynwood Cemetery in Clarksville

• Clarksville Star •
The Way It Was
by Dave Clark
70 Years Ago: Spring, 1946
Through most of February and
March, 1946, a war of words, (hopefully it was nothing worse) was being carried out in Clarksville, both in town and
rural. The matter at hand seemed to be,
who was, going to have the telephone
franchise for this area.
At this time Northwestern Bell was
the provider of our telephone service,
but a local home owned company,
Butler-Bremer Mutual Telephone Co.
wanted to buy the local service, as they
already owned areas to the north and
east. (Yes, the same Butler-Bremer we
know and love today.) The petitions,
both pro and con, with long lists of
names appeared in the STAR every
week. One [titled] “Farmers Oppose
Telephone Franchise” included 117
names. Obviously none listed would
have a vote in the up-coming election,
but of course would be affected by any
change of telephone service and they
wanted the voters to know how they
felt.
The Municipal Election was held
March 25 with 451 ballots cast, which,
at the time, was believed to be the largest vote ever cast in Clarksville. I suspect they mean the largest vote in a
Municipal election?
By a vote of 271 to 192 the franchise
was denied. I don’t know exactly when,
but after Butler-Bremer bought other
local telephone companies, they came
back to Clarksville and obviously were
successful and have been our service
provider for a number of years.
In the only other contested race on
the ballot, B. F. Hamilton was again
elected Mayor.
The “real winner,” in this first effort
to make a change, must have been Editor Gomer Evans with all the petitions
and notices that appeared in the STAR.

Free Field Day on June 3 to
highlight forestry practices
Trees Forever and DNR event set in Chickasaw County
Landowners will learn how tree plantings and forest management improve
water quality and wildlife habitat, during a free Upper Cedar Watershed field
day in Chickasaw County. Trees Forever, in partnership with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Forestry
Division, will host the event from 9
a.m. to noon Friday, June 3, on the Greg
Richards property in rural Bassett.
“Both rural and urban landowners have a role to play in planting and
caring for trees and forests to improve
water quality and provide wildlife habitat,” said Trees Forever Program Manager and Field Coordinator Meredith
Borchardt.
District Foresters Greg Heidebrink
and Jason Walker will be presenters,
along with Trees Forever’s Meredith
Borchardt and Pheasants Forever’s
Dan Borchardt. The event, supported
by a U.S. Forest Service grant focused
in the Upper Cedar Watershed, follows
a related urban forestry field day held in
May at Central Park in Charles City.
Topics for the June field day include
wildlife tree plantings, windbreaks,
woodland management, prairie establishment, food plots and more. “This
will be a really fun field day. Greg is
very passionate about conservation and
creating wildlife habitat and has some
great examples of this on his property,”
said District Forester Greg Heidebrink.

flour arrived in Clarksville this week
when shipments from the Pillsbury
Mills were announced.
The delivery marks the beginning
of the changeover to the 80 [percent]
wheat extraction flour ordered by the
government in order that more wheat
might be sent to starving nations
throughout the world. Pillsbury has
abandoned use of its long-established

Items From the Hawkeye State—
Minor Operation—What ordinarily is a
very minor operation—a splinter from
a finger has serious repercussions for
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Murrey of Kingsley. As Mrs. Murrey was removing the
sliver from her husband’s finger with
the use of a darning needle the house
was struck by lightning. A cottonwood
tree near the house was hit and split.
A radio antenna carried the current to
the house and to a copper pipe against
which Mr. Murrey was leaning. Nearly
all the clothing was torn from Mr. and
Mrs. Murrey and burns were found on
their bodies where metal buttons, etc.
had been melted. Shortly after the incident, Mr. Murrey did not know whether
the sliver had been removed or not as
his finger was badly burned by the needle. There must be a lesson here somewhere, like a “darning needle” being
too large for sliver removal?
• A new Ford car just from the factory
was being taken on a second deck of a
transport trailer near Harland when it
came in contact with a bridge. The top
of the bridge was lower than the top of
the car. Result, just junk.
• We have observed several times, a
one legged male robin eating bread and
cookie crumbs on our deck, which really is not their normal fare. This caused
us to wonder if maybe he couldn’t pull
a night crawler out of the ground with
only one leg for leverage. Food for
thought or for the robin!

an overdose, it blocks the effects of an
overdose to save a life.
Additionally, the legislature has targeted specific funding to the Department of Public Health to tackle the issue
of opioid abuse by providing treatment
options to those that suffer from addiction.
I know that our elected officials at the
federal level have also made the issue of
combating opioid abuse a top priority.
They continue to look at ways to empower states to fight this epidemic using
best practices from across the country.
Our work on this issue is not done and
in some ways it’s just beginning. This
is not a partisan issue as both parties
look for the best ways to crack down on
abuse and help those facing addiction. I
look forward to more conversations on
how we can help those in need.

This is a weekly feature highlighting some of Iowa’s unsolved homicides in the hopes that it
will lead to new tips and potentially help solve cases. The project is a partnership between this
newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association.
Wilma June Nissen
The body of Wilma Nissen was found on
Oct. 4, 1978, in a roadside ditch near Lake Pahoja in Western Lyon County. Unrecognizable
due to decomposition, the body lay in a ditch
on the north side of the gravel road. The body
went unidentified for nearly three decades, until finally being identified as Nissen’s in 2006.
Investigators believe her body had been
dumped between June and July of 1978. No
evidence was present at the crime scene except
for her body, her clothing and a rope. Evidence
suggests that she was not killed at that particular spot and based on the position of Nissen’s
body, the rope was used to pull her into the
ditch from a nearby area or a vehicle.
WILMA JUNE NISSEN
| Age: 23 |
Died: October 4, 1978
Location: Rock Rapids

Nissen grew up in California with a neglectful father and then in several foster homes.
She resorted to prostitution in her twenties as
a means of survival. In February 1978 she left
California and moved to Atlanta with Charles
Inman Belt. Belt, the last known person to
have seen her alive, told detectives Nissen left
his mother’s apartment just a few days after arriving in Atlanta and he did not hear from her
again.
In addition to her married names of Wilma
Wellington and Wilma Irvin, Wilma would
sometimes use aliases including Amy Irvin,
Amy Belt, Wilma Belt, or Amy Nissen.

Redemption for Schellhorn:
Clarksville senior distance runner makes state field
Kristi Nixon
chroniclesports@iowaconnect.com
HUDSON – James Schellhorn admits
he is a pessimist.
After finishing second in the 3,200 at
the state qualifying meet in 2015 and
despite having faster times than some
district champions and not making it to
the state field, he had reason.
When Schellhorn finished second in
a close, tight 3,200 race that four different runners were vying for, Schellhorn
was left waiting to see if he would get
his first crack at the blue oval.
“I don’t want to get my hopes up,”
Schellhorn said right after the race.
“We’ll wait and see what happens. I
like to keep it so I don’t have my hopes
up.”
But Schellhorn and the other two
runners who finished behind him
were more than fast enough to reach
the Class 1A state field in the distance
event this week at Drake Stadium in
Des Moines.
In fact, finishing three seconds behind
BCLUW’s Grant Baker was the 12th
fastest Class 1A qualifying time, and
the other two in the lead pack had faster
times than five district champions.
“I was just trying to stick with the
leader the whole time,” Schellhorn said
of sticking with the lead pack that clung

together for six and a half laps. “Trying to get my best time – 10:20 was
my best at conference meet last week.
I don’t know, with the wind and all,
it’s the windiest night I’ve ever ran in.

with the other districts.”
Schellhorn appeared to lose some
ground as the trio of runners started lapping others in the final two laps of the

season at sectional
NASHUA – Clarksville’s boys’ golf team finished sixth out of seven teams at the Class 1A
sectional golf tournament at Town & Country
Golf Club in Nashua on Friday, May 13.
Matt Nelson’s 18-hole score of 100 was
the lowest turned in by coach Jill Norton’s
Indians.
He shot 51 on the first nine and actually improved his score by two strokes on
the second nine despite a cold front that
brought heavy rain for the second round.
Completing team scoring for Clarksville
were Cael Negen (112), Tre Smith (118)
and Caden Hobson (123).
North Butler won the team title as the
Bearcats had the overall medalist in Trevor

Schellhorn was one of only two Indians to qualify for the state meet.
The other was Zach Sommerfelt, who
finished second at Hudson in the 400.
However, his time was good enough to
place him in the second of three heats in

Four-peat:
Clarksville girls’ golf team pulls off fourth consecutive Iowa Star title
TRAER – What made the Clarksville girls’ golf team’s fourth straight
Iowa Star Conference title the most
impressive is the change the program has undergone in the last year.
The Indians had a new head coach
this year, albeit Jill Norton was the
assistant coach during the team’s
run.
And Clarksville had just two golfers back from last year’s team.
But Bridget Ross, one of those
golfers, has worked on her game so
much, she set another school and
meet record in the process of the Indians’ historic victory at Traer Golf
Course on Monday, May 9.
Ross shot a school record low for
18 holes with an 88, carding rounds
of 42 and 46 to earn the overall conference medal by six strokes.
“We come in a lot of mornings
since we do two sports with track
and golf,” Ross said. “Even this
morning, we came and played golf
an hour before school. We do a lot
of range, short game, we hit out of
trees, sand, we do a lot of situation
stuff and that comes in handy a lot.”
The previous school mark was
held by both Madison Bloker and
Emily Mennenga at 91.
Ross said that she has been golfing with her dad since she was little,
so that helps. Even still, she has improved on her game by 10 strokes
from freshman year to her senior
season.
She helped the Indians to an 18hole team score record of 393, which
blew away last year’s school mark of
402.
“This year, I just got some new
irons, so that helps a lot,” Ross said.
“I have a stronger swing than some
women’s swings, so the flex of irons

meter and eighth in the 800 meter run.
Timmermans was proud of his team, but
noted that the competition was good, too,
leading to not many Indians placing in
events.
“We PRed in a lot, it was just the fact the
other teams PRed as well,” Timmermans
said. “We’re doing well, so we’re excited
about districts next week.”
“We practiced hard for this meet, and we
did well, but we could have done better,”
Sommerfelt said. “We’re going to work on
things like handoffs for next week’s big
meet.”
“We’re going to take a small break, then
have a really hard practice Monday. Then
we’ll have some light practice in preparation
for Thursday,” Timmermans said.

meet at Drake University in Des Moines,
Iowa.
Schellhorn placed second in the 3200 meter
run, and Sommerfelt also had a second place
finish in the 400 meter run.
Junior Dylan Jacobs placed second in long
jump, but missed the cut off to head to the
blue oval.
“We had multiple place winners at the district meet, and a lot of district medals were
given out.” Coach Ross Timmermans said.
“However, the only way we can get to state
is if you win your race or qualify on time.”
The whole team has had good results this
season, making multiple personal records
and improving their times as the season has
progressed.
Schellhorn and Sommerfelt feel that their
extra hard work is what has allowed them to
make it to state.
“I work hard every day in practice,” Schellhorn said, “and I put in a lot of time out of
practice too, even during the summer and
during other sports.”
“It was hard work and giving it my all
every day at practice and at meets,” Sommerfelt said.
“We have a lot to look forward to in the future,” Ross Timmermans said. “We reached
a lot of new personal records and goals by
the end of the season. Our seniors were
very good leaders, and I’m excited for their
futures.”
Schellhorn and Sommerfelt will make their
way to Des Moines to compete in the state
track meet starting on Thursday, May 19.
On Thursday, May 5, the high school girls
track team participated in the Iowa Star Conference meet, placing fourth out of twelve
teams.
Junior Morgan Thompson placed fifth in
the 100 meter dash, with a time of 14.25
seconds.
The 4 x 800 meter relay team finished
second. The runners included Bridget Ross,
Bailey Myers, Darian Jacobs, and Madison
Stirling.
Senior Bridget Ross also placed sixth in the
800 meter run, running the race in 2:56.26.
“I was happy that our 4 x 800 meter relay
placed second but I was a little disappointed
in my open 800. I need to work on improving my time on the 800 by a few seconds
and need to get a kick towards the end of my
race,” Ross said.
Freshman Bailey Myers placed sixth in the
1500 meter run, with a time of 5:47.33. She
also placed fourth in the long jump, jumping
13-05.25 feet.
“We did very well at conference. The 4
x 800 was definitely the strongest it has
been. We all had great times and we were all
determined to win. I could have cooled down
better after the race, but I was happy with
our times,” Myers said.
The girl’s 4 x 100 meter relay team, consisting of Jadyn Maiers, Rachel Sundet, Hannah Green, and Morgan Thompson placed
second.
The 4 x 400 meter relay team also placed
second, consisting of Kylie Smith, Mallory
Hoodjer, Chelsea Capper, and Allyson Essink.
The 400 meter shuttle hurdle relay placed
second, consisting of Jadyn Maiers, Darian
Jacobs, Brittney Litterer, and Hannah Green.
Senior Hannah Green commented saying,
“We did good. We placed second in both of
my relays but I think we could have done
better. There is always room for improvement. I think we needed more practice.”
The meet to see what individuals and relay
teams qualify to compete in the state track
competition was held on Thursday, May 12,
in Hudson. Unfortunately, none of the girls
qualified.
On the bright side, the 4 x 400 meter relay
team broke the school record with a time of
4:34.
Members included all freshmen track
athletes: Danielle Ison, Mallory Hoodjer, Allyson Essink, and Kylie Smith.
Assistant Coach Ross Timmermans commented saying, “I think when you look at the
season as a whole, the girls team did what
we wanted them to which was peak at the
end of the season.”
“Even though our actual results weren’t
where we hoped they would be down at the
blue oval, they still got personal records in
all of their events at the conference meet,” he
added.
Overall, both the team and coaches are
very proud of how the season went.

By Cael Negen
On Friday, May 13, the varsity boys golf

meet.
The team got sixth overall with a score of
453.
Junior Matt Nelson got 24th place with an

was the last meet of the season for the boys.
Girls Golf Wins Fourth
Consecutive Iowa Star
Conference Title
By Courtney DeGroote
On Monday, May 9, the Clarksville varsity
girls golf team placed first out of seven
teams, earning their fourth consecutive conference title at North Tama.
“I think it is a great accomplishment to
win a 4th straight title. It has been a goal
these girls have been striving for all season,”
Coach Jill Norton said.
The ladies scored a 393 on an 18-hole
course, breaking the school record of 402
from last year’s conference meet.
Senior Bridget Ross placed first out of 31
girls, shooting an 88.
Ross broke the school record for the
second time this year, but this time with the
18-hole record.
She beat the record of 91, which was previously made by alumni Madison Bloker and
Emily Mennenga.
“It was extremely exciting to come in first
individually and have won conference as a
team for the last four years,” stated Ross. “I
was happy that everyone on the team went
out and did their best and was really excited
for Madison as well.”
Junior Madison Stirling placed third
overall and earned an All-Conference title,
shooting a 95.
“It felt really good to place third in the
conference. I spent the season working on
my swing and fixing a lot of things, so it was
good to see something come from it.”
“I enjoy golf a lot and it is a lot of fun being successful,” she added.
Junior Chelsea Capper and sophomore Capri Rabatach placed ninth, with each shooting a 105 and also earning All-Conference
titles.
Sophomore Bethany Negen shot a 113,
earning 15th place.
“The thing that stood out the most this season was how these girls would play through
good shots and bad shots and even not the
best weather,” Norton said. “They are looking to improve each time they are out there
which makes them great!”
The Lady Indians also competed in the
first round of sectionals, earning first. Look
for coverage of that meet in next week’s
Teletype!
JH Girls Track Places 2nd
at Conference Meet
By Sadie Jacobsen
On Friday, May 6, the Clarksville junior
high girls track team had their conference

The Lady Indians placed second overall
with 104 points.
First place finishers were the Kori Wedeking in the 1500 meter run, finishing in a
time of 5:42.01, and Chloe Ross, Cheyenne
Behrends, Sarah Sundet, and Madison Spree
in the 400 meter shuttle hurdle relay with a
time of 1:18.83.
The 1600 distance medley relay team, consisting of Emma Poppe, Katie Stirling, Janet
Borchardt, and Wedeking also earned first
place with a time of 4:56.70.
Second place finishers included Emma
Poppe in the 100 meter dash in 30.04, as well
as in high jump, where Poppe leaped 4’10”,
earning her a new personal record.
Kromminga said, ”This season we did our
best and played as well as we could have. It
was a lot of working on getting better.”
He wishes the team good luck next year!
“I think the season was one we really
strived for improvement everyday. We had a
ton of beginners and they made some good
improvement,” Coach Jill Norton said.
Overall, the boys had some rocky terrain to
roll over this season, but they are definitely
on their way to becoming a great team.
Wedeking also finished second the 800
meter run by finishing in 2:43.93.
Additionally, Brandi Garretson placed second for her throw a 65’08” in discus.
Events placing third were the 800 meter
run, with Janet Borchardt finishing in a time

Tiny insects can cause substantial
damage to ornamental plants
Identifying and controlling scale insects focus of ISU
Extension and Outreach publication
They may be small, but scale insects
can have a sizeable negative impact on
landscape plants. These tiny insects are
usually no more than 1/8 inch in diameter but have the ability to weaken and
kill ornamental plants by sucking sap
from the plant and using it as food.
The different types of scale insects,
as well as management options are discussed in a new Iowa State University
Extension and Outreach publication
titled “Scale Insects on Ornamental
Landscape Plants” (ENT 0047). The
publication is written by Donald Lewis,
Mark Shour and Laura Jesse, ISU Extension and Outreach entomologists,
and is available online through the Ex-
tension Store.
“Scale insects are common on landscape trees and shrubs,” Lewis said.
“Fortunately they are usually at low
levels that do not seriously affect the
plants. However, exceptions do occur
and scale insect outbreaks can reduce
plant health considerably.”
Yellowing or wilting of leaves, stunting the plant’s growth and ultimately
death of all or part of the plant can be
caused by a scale insect infestation.
Because of the waxy coverings and
shells that scale insects employ, removing them from ornamental plants by using traditional contact insecticides can
be difficult. The publication discusses
management techniques, providing
alternate control methods for dealing
with scales.
“Scale insects are difficult to control
because of the shell, for which they are
named, covers the insect,” Lewis said.
“Timing of scale treatment is critical
and covered in detail within the publication.”
There are some natural ways to remove scales, with weather conditions
or predators (lady beetles, lacewings
and mites) providing some protection.
Small infestations can also be manually
removed from plants.
When other means of control fail,
using chemicals can be an option for
removing scale insects. Applying horticultural oil while the plant is dormant
may control the insects on trees and
shrubs.
Because insecticides do not penetrate
the protective covering of most scales,
chemical treatments are only effective
when crawlers are active immediately
after egg hatch. Using home lawn and
garden insecticides at this point will rid
the plant of the young scale insects.
The publication also contains descriptions of scale insects commonly
found in Iowa, along with their approximate crawler time and the plants
they traditionally infest. Color photos
of common scales are also included.
Recommendations for a snake-free house
ISU Extension and Outreach provides tips for making a
house unattractive to snakes
Warm spring temperatures bring to
life many plants and animals that have
been in hiding or far away from Iowa
during the cold winter months. These
warm temperatures raise the body temperature of Iowa’s 28 species of coldblooded snakes, allowing for an often
conspicuous departure from their winter hibernations.
Although the sounds and sights of
spring’s return are always a welcome
sight, for many homeowners finding
a snake in their garage or slithering
across the back deck is less desirable.
Iowa State University Extension and
Outreach offers the following recommendations for making your home as
unattractive to snakes as possible.
Do not feed birds from April to October. Birds do not need supplemental
food during the growing season and
feeders draw in rodents and other small
critters, which can draw in snakes.
Snakes will hibernate from November
until March, meaning homeowners
don’t have to worry about encountering any in the yard.
Keep the lawn mown short. By keeping the lawn very short, snakes are at
an increased risk of being eaten by a
hawk. Snakes do not like to put themselves in such situations and will generally avoid such areas, thus keeping
them away from the house.
Keep landscaping near the house
simple. Avoid rock walls and similar
features that draw small animals that
snakes like to eat into the area. Also
avoid “ponds” and similar features that
attract frogs, or that hold small fish that
garter snakes like to eat. Keep plantings to a minimum, particularly around
buildings, as these provide shelter for
both snakes and the prey items they eat.
Keep areas around the house free of
wood piles, debris, etc. Snakes can use
these to avoid hawks and other predators and to control their body temperature.
Install rubber seals on the bottom
of any garage or shed doors. This will
help keep snakes out of those buildings.
Check the foundations of buildings
and structures. Snakes will often use
people’s basements or old cisterns as
places to hibernate, and snakes have
a tendency to be faithful to those sites.
Make repairs between May 1 and October 1 so snakes are out and active and
not trapped underneath.
The best recourse when you find a
snake in a dwelling is to direct it into
a container with a broom and then release it on another area on your property away from your house. Then
consider the recommendations above
to reduce the attractiveness or accessibility of your home to snakes and other
unwelcome critters.
The most common snake in Iowa,
the garter snake, is easily identifiable
by its light, horizontally stripes and is
harmless. In fact, only four of Iowa’s
28 snake species are dangerous to pets
or humans. These venomous snakes,
which include two species of rattlesnakes, the eastern massasauga and
the copperhead, are all large and rarely
found outside of large tracts of their
natural grassland, wetland or forested
habitats. The prairie rattlesnake, copperhead, and massasauga are all listed
as endangered species in Iowa and cannot be lethally removed.
Snakes don’t do any direct damage to
buildings because they don’t dig their
own holes, instead using holes other
animals have made. Although snakes
elicit strong negative reactions among
many, Iowa’s native snakes play important roles in the state’s ecosystem,
often doing more good than harm for a
homeowner through their appetite for
more problematic rodents and insects.
Managing property to reduce potential
attractiveness for snakes is the best
way to ensure they play this important
role where they belong - outside the
home.

on June 11
The photo chosen this week to help
promote the 2016 All School Reunion
on June 11 features the journalism staff
of the 1971 TOMAHAWK and TEPEE
TELETYPE. Officers of the group
were Barb Groen Sharon Bohlen, Barb
Johnson, Lois Topp and Sandy Lovrien
with Lorna Schwartz as adviser.
The yearbook staff highlighted the
memories of the old school building
and the thrilling experience of moving
to the new building.
This year’s honor Class of 1971 had
47 graduates with 11 members cur-
rently with a Clarksville address and
several others in area communities.
Class member Bonnie Krull Forry
commented, “It was special to be the
first class to graduate from the new
building.”
Her classmate Lee Gregory reminisced about selling ads, taking the
business and sponsors photos and other
candid shots for the annual.
Both ladies look forward to the reunion and encourage their classmates
to come celebrate the 45th reunion.

WEST DES MOINES – James Schellhorn, a student at Clarksville, was recognized by Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt.
Governor Kim Reynolds for outstanding academic achievement at the 14th
Annual Governor’s Scholar Recognition Ceremony May 1 at Hy-Vee Hall
in Des Moines.
The statewide program, sponsored by
the Iowa Governor’s Office, Iowa High
School Athletic Association (IHSAA)
and its title sponsor the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF), honored 432
high school seniors from across Iowa.
“Iowa Farm Bureau members believe
that by investing in our youth and communities, we’re investing in the future of
Iowa,” said IFBF President Craig Hill.
“We are so proud to honor such exceptional students and proud to be a leading
contributor to educational programs and
annual scholarships for our youth.”
Each high school was invited to select their senior student or students with
the highest academic ranking, based on
grade point average for their first seven
semesters.
Students selected for the award also
had the opportunity to recognize their
favorite/most influential teacher and
will receive a photo plaque of their
meeting with the governor team.
“The principles learned through academic success, like those learned from
participation in education-based activities, help develop outstanding leaders
and citizens,” said IHSAA Executive
Director Alan Beste. “The partnership
between the IHSAA and the Iowa Farm
Bureau, along with the great cooperation of the Governor’s Office has made
this prestigious event possible for many
years.”
Ninety-nine percent of those recognized also participate in extra-curricular school activities, with more than
80 percent participating in at least one
interscholastic sport. More than 60 percent of the group members plan to continue their education in Iowa.

northwest of Clarksville.
The Clarksville Library (along with

flood plain and water shed; and there
will be a brief Memorial Service at

JANSSEN from page 1
contest, and how did you get through
it?
A. The hardest part … was the failure analysis where a company brought
in components and had us identify why
they failed. It wasn’t terrible, but except
for a couple times at school I haven’t
done much of failure analysis.
Q. What were the pros and cons (if
any) of the DMACC diesel equipment
tech program?
A. I think the DMACC diesel program really tries to get the students
to learn what they teach. Also despite
efforts, the rising cost of components
means some components are a bit out
of date, though these components will
still be seen in the workplace.
Q. How long did you prepare for this
SkillsUSA test?
A. I just approached it like I was going to work.
Q. When did you become interested
in diesel technology?
A. I grew up being around farm tractors so I always had an interest in it.
Q. What diesel equipment work have
you done in the Allison area?
A. A couple valve adjustments on a
tractor and a combine and some small
repairs on a semi truck.
Q. Please explain why diesel was developed as a fuel?
A. Diesel fuel is more stable and
burns longer. Also diesel lubricates so
the (components) last longer.
Q. (Asked about biodiesel market.)
A. Biodiesel is not as stable as regular
diesel because it has an expiration date.
The market is there and there are multiple ways to make it, but it does have
some drawbacks.
A maple shows mower blight in Reinbeck. The corrugated tube that protected
it while a sapling is still visible, but it has
not been protected from the mower as
the tree aged. This could be done using
mulching and a raised perimeter to stop
an approaching mower. (Photo Courtesy
