Those following this series on the
What Cheer
Paper Station know
Butler County
Transfer
what to do with part-full hazardous materials (part one, April 23) and recycling
(part two, April 30).
What about garbage — or used clothing and housewares, electronics, construction and demolition materials?
Those also are brought to the Transfer
Station, in the case of city garbage, or
can be, for other items. The station is on
Highway 3 east of Sinclair Avenue.
SOLID WASTE: “We get what you
call municipal solid waste from every
town in Butler County,” Transfer Station Director Tom Cain said.
The system’s setup guarantees haulers will bring municipal waste from
Butler County to the Transfer Station,
Cain said.
“The haulers don’t have to pay us
to bring (Butler County solid waste)
here,” Cain said, “If they take it anywhere else, it’s going to cost them money.”
So who pays? City residents pay their
solid waste bill. Cities pay the hauler
for collection and the Butler County
Transfer Station a per-person fee. The
cost to rural residents is covered in the
county tax base. Rural residents can
haul in their own solid waste or hire a
hauler.
Construction and demolition waste
is accepted from residents countywide
and haulers at $18 per cubic yard, Cain
said. For example, shingles, wood,
metal, wire, insulation, light fixtures,
windows and doors are taken.
Technically asbestos is not taken at
the Transfer Station, though for $55 a
ton, the Transfer Station coordinates asbestos disposal with the Butler-HardinGrundy Rural Iowa Landfill, operated
by the the Rural Iowa Waste Management Association.
“That’s also where all our municipal
solid waste and construction demolition materials brought here go,” Ramker said. The Transfer Station, not a
third party, trucks this all to the landfill.
It averages to two semi-trailer loads
of garbage a day, for which RIWMA
charges Butler County $45 a ton, its
website says.
Other hazardous materials found in
construction that the Transfer Station
Regional Collection Center will handle
Pleasant Valley
Ice Cream Social
to be June 14
Pleasant Valley First United
Church of Christ will hold their annual ice cream social on Sunday,
June 14, serving from 5-7 p.m. in
the fellowship hall.
The menu includes maidrites,
smoked pork loin sandwiches,
chicken sandwiches, potato salad,
baked beans, pie, ice cream and a
drink for a freewill offering.
Pleasant Valley is located at
31015 150th St., rural Clarksville.
ELECTRONICS: Though Goodwill
does not accept electronics, the Transfer Station does. It ships them to Midwest Electronic Recovery in Walford,
near Cedar Rapids.
METALS: The Transfer Station takes
most any metal at $18 per cubic yard
— though not cars. Metal items such
as ceiling fans, bed frames, aluminum
siding, storm windows and doors, lawn
mowers and bikes are all accepted.
Metals are shipped to Alter Metal Recycling in Waterloo.

New director in training
at Transfer Station
Butler County Transfer Station Director Tom Cain is training the man
who will fill his position when Cain
retires on June 30.
That man is Matt Ramker, a lifelong Greene resident, who marked
his eight-year anniversary at the
Transfer Station in March.
In his new role, Ramker will supervise employees at and direct daily
operation of the Transfer Station,
including handling contracts. The
we guarantee it’s taken care of properly,” Cain said.
Appliances are hauled to A-Line Iron
and Metal, Waterloo.
“(Freon) is one of the things they say
station receives in-county recycling,
hazardous material and waste at its
site on Highway 3 east of Sinclair
Avenue.
Ramker, a lifelong Greene resident,

the Transfer Station in March.
Before starting at the Transfer Station, Ramker worked at a local feed
mill. He managed the mill for five
years of the decade employed there.

Caitlin Allan will represent Allison
at the 2015 Butler County Fair Queen
Contest on June 24.
Allan, the daughter of Wendy Hansen
and Dave Allan, was crowned Miss Allison 2015 by 2014 Miss Allison Madyson Bixby at the Allison Commercial
Club hamburger and brat fry Friday,
May 29.
After giving a thank-you speech, Allan sang a few tunes with the Sugar
Daddys Jazz Band. She has been singing with the Sugar Daddys for a year.
She first sang in public at age 14 in the
North Butler Middle School spring variety show, she said. Look for her with
the Sugar Daddys this summer at Wilder Park and with friends at the Bill Riley
Talent Search at the County Fair.
Allan graduated May 17, 2015, from
North Butler High School.
Runner-up was Stephanie Lursen,
daughter of Scott and Robin Lursen.
Miss Congeniality was Karley Anderson, daughter of Kristi Anderson.
Bixby was named Miss Congeniality
at last year’s County Fair.
Also at the supper, the Allison Swimming Pool improved its amount raised
to more than $750, toward its $2,000
goal. The Allison Commercial Club
gave $500. Other groups and businesses are still welcome to donate, said
Jamie Osterbuhr, pool committee member.

The Butler County Solid Waste
Commission oversees operation at the
Transfer Station.
The general board, which meets annually, offers seats to a representative
of each town, with which the county
has intergovernmental sharing agreements (28Es). That board elects an executive board, which does most of the
heavy lifting.
The Iowa Department of Natural
Resources requires the sharing agreements to ensure garbage is handled to
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
standards.
“The DNR set up rules that designate
the operation of landfills so everything
is handled correctly and protects the
ecology of the state,” Cain said.
Groundwater is an important part of
that ecology, Cain said.
The landfill is cupped with an outside clay liner and inside plastic liner,
which all drains into a sand filtration
system in the bottom. The filtration
system funnels into a leachate pipe,
which pumps the gray water (or dirty
water) to a storage tank for any liquid
that goes through the garbage — rain,
for instance. The water is hauled to a
city water treatment facility and run
through a purification system where
any toxins are removed (to EPA standards) and the water is released back
into the natural waterways.
The director and executive board
oversee the $750,000-range annual operating budget.
At monthly meetings, the executive
board and director handle such details
as personnel, equipment, policies and
operations.
Fuel spills to stream in Butler County
AREDALE – An estimated 10 gallons
of diesel fuel and hydraulic oil spilled
into a small creek when a construction crane overturned in Butler County
Monday evening.
The crane downed power lines at the
construction site half a mile west of
Aredale, hampering the crane’s remov-
al and fuel recovery.
The county’s emergency management coordinator, Waterloo Haz Mat
and Taylor Construction worked Monday and Tuesday to remove the crane
and capture petroleum products in
Boylan Creek.
DNR staff said the fuel traveled about
three miles downstream before it was
contained, but there is no fish kill.
The DNR will continue to monitor
cleanup over the next week.
The creek flows into the west fork of
the Cedar River more than eight miles
downstream.

equipment including a scanner and a
supply of microchips were purchased.
Once a pet receives a microchip, adopting families are asked to register their
pet online. After 25 pets have been registered, a box of 25 free microchips is
sent to PAWS.
“The program is self-sustaining once
the basic equipment is in place,”
Director Julie Taylor said. “When
families register their newly adopted
pets online, it counts towards a box of
25 free microchips that will be used for
future adopted pets.”
PAWS is now scanning each animal
that arrives to check for a microchip.
This procedure has already quickly
reunited one dog that came in recently
with his owner.
Placement of the microchip is a quick
process and is not painful to the pet. So
far, 10 dogs and one cat have received
microchips.
The Floyd County (PAWS) Humane
Society is a no-kill animal shelter that
was started in 2000 in Charles City.

OPINION / EDITORIAL
Under the Golden Dome Too
By State Representative Linda Upmeyer
House District 54
linda.upmeyer@legis.state.ia.us
(515) 281-4618
The calendar has flipped to June
and our work in the legislature continues. You may be wondering why
this legislative session has gone into
overtime. Simply put, we are fighting to ensure the long-term economic health of our state is not compromised and funding for services
to Iowans remains viable year after
year.
When negotiations began this year,
over $200 million separated us from
the Senate Majority party. This level of spending would require us to
spend more than we take in this year,
and therefore risk putting our state
in a dangerous economic position.
I think most would agree that with
$180 million in new revenue, we
should be able to fund the priorities
of Iowans. If not, we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
A question I often ask myself is,
when will the next fiscal crisis or
economic emergency occur in our
state? Obviously, that is something
we are unable to predict. Therefore,
the only prudent thing to do is be
responsible and plan ahead. Rather
than spend every penny, we should
make sure the state is prepared for
what the future may bring. For example, it will be some time before
we can fully realize the impact the
avian flu will have on the jobs and
economy of our state.
Despite our budgeting differences,
we are meeting regularly with the
Senate Majority party to find compromise on the areas in which we
vary and put together a budget that is
responsible and sustainable well into
the future.
Not too long ago, Iowans experienced the ramifications of irresponsible budgeting practices. Due to
careless budgeting decisions prior
to us coming into the Majority in
the House and under the previous
administration, Iowans saw a $500
million property tax increase, the
state borrowed $800 million that
costs taxpayers double to pay back,
and there was a $700 million spending gap for the new governor and
legislature to fix.
Upon coming into the Majority,
we adopted a set of core budgeting principles that have guided our
state into a healthier and more certain economic time. We continue to
stand by these principles and will
not return to the poor budgeting decisions of the past. We are committed to spending less than we take in
and the practice of using one-time
money for ongoing expenditures has
been abandoned.
We have stood by these principles
for the last four legislative sessions
and have never failed to find common ground with the Senate Majority party. We expect that to continue
this year.
Going forward, we will not waiver from these principles that have
served our state well. Just like a family’s personal budget, Iowans expect
government to live within its means.
Every dollar the state spends that we
don’t have, jeopardizes the financial
security of Iowa taxpayers and families. We know you expect us to pass
a responsible and sustainable budget
that meets the needs of Iowans; and
that is a commitment we will deliver
on.
If you have any feedback or questions about the budget or other issues
before us, please do not hesitate to
contact me. I can be reached at linda.
upmeyer@legis.iowa.gov or 515281-4618.

To the Editor:
I’ve been noticing lately, when
kids get home from school they go
straight to their electronics, like
their phone, tablet or computer, and
if they don’t have a computer they
go to the library to use theirs. I think
kids should be unplugged from their
electronics and instead they should
be outside, and be active.
A reason why is because being outside gives you vitamin D, which is
good for you, and if everyone is inside, they won’t get that kind of nutrition. Vitamin D also helps you absorb calcium. It helps kids develop
a normal growth of bones and teeth.
Also it can defend you from some
kind of diseases. Children and teens
need 600 international units [of Vitamin D] a day.
I also think parents need to give
their kids a limit on their electronics and they should tell them to get
outside and ride their bike, take their
dog on a walk, or even just play outside. That will make kids’ muscles
stronger and healthier.
Also kids can go to the park or
even their backyard and find new
things they’ve never seen before like
birds, bugs, animals, or even plants,
and they could see that is more fun
than doing a scavenger hunt on their
electronics. What would be better
for them is to be outside doing those
things, because doing them on electronics is unhealthy for kids.
So what I’m saying is that kids
need to […] have a limit on their
electronics, and the rest of the time
kids will be outside having fun.
Thank you for […] reading my letter.
Sincerely,
Allison Rosol,
Dumont
Keeping Higher Ed affordable
will strengthen Iowa economy
For many, school does not stop
with high school graduation. Increasingly, good jobs require higher
education or worker training. Iowans of all ages and backgrounds
need access to college to build a better future for themselves and their
families.
Ideally, these opportunities should
be as affordable as possible. Taking
on massive student debt is another
roadblock to achieving success, to
strengthening our middle class and
to growing our economy. Iowa students already graduate with more
student loan debt than in most other
states. That leads some graduates to
leave the state in search of higher
paying jobs elsewhere.
Community colleges work with
employers to address local skilled
worker shortages and provide an affordable path to a four-year degree.
Senate Democrats propose investing
$8 million more in Iowa’s community colleges.
At our three state universities,
Should the minimum wage
be raised? Some thoughts
On Wednesday, May 27 the executive director of the Iowa Citizen
Action Network, Sue Dinsdale, and
a candidate for U.S. Senate, Bob
Krause, addressed a public meeting at the Clarksville School library
“community room.”
It was the second meeting I have
covered organized by the Butler
County Democrats.
To my knowledge, the County Republicans haven’t held any similar
meetings since one hosting local legislators a mere week after a county
legislative forum. If they would like
to organize a public event, they are
welcomed to alert me/the area press
to it.
To keep the appearance of bias out
of the news coverage, you are reading this on the Opinion page. (I added some personal perspective at the
end.)
One of the speakers was Bob
Krause, who said he is running
against U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley.
(Krause has not yet filed this election cycle, 2016, with the Federal
Election Commission. An FEC filing from his 2010 U.S. Senate race
shows he raised just north of $23,000
that cycle.)
The wage floor
Now, Iowa’s minimum wage is
$7.25 per hour. President Barack
Obama has pushed for raising it to
$10.10.
A compromise bill for an $8.75
minimum wage passed this year’s
Democrat-controlled Iowa Senate
but died in the Republican-controlled House.
County Democrats Chair David
Mansheim said when employers pay
the bare minimum wage, employees
rely on food stamps and other services.
“It’s not a giveaway to the poor;
its a subsidy to employers who pay
poor wages,” Mansheim said.
He said that since 1980, productivity has climbed “exponentially” and
wages have stagnated.
Dinsdale
Dinsdale said over half of states
that raised minimum wage during
Mira’s Musings
Mira Schmitt-Cash, Editor
miraschmittcash.map@gmail.com
Bob Krause speaks at a public meeting in Clarksville on Wednesday, May 27. He supports increasing stagnant wages, he said.
high unemployment showed an unemployment decrease.
Minimum wage for tipped workers
is $4.35 in Iowa for workers making
more than $30 a month in tips, according to Dinsdale and Iowa Workforce.
If a waitress (Dinsdale’s example)
wants to show she is not getting minimum on her own, she has to track
all pay and all tips, and calculate
whether that equals minimum wage.
Then she has to go to employer and
ask to be put on a better shift — or
tell the employer she needs more
money, Dinsdale said. I believe she
rolled her eyes at the last part — indicating that might be awkward.
She cited a Des Moines Register
poll saying 60 percent of Iowans
support increasing the minimum
wage.
Dinsdale also cited several statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor, such as
• “A June 2014 survey found that
more than 3 out of 5 small business
owners support increasing the minimum wage to $10.10. Small business owners believe that a higher
minimum wage would benefit business in important ways: [Fifty-eight
percent] say raising the minimum
wage would increase consumer
purchasing power. [Fifty-six percent] say raising the minimum wage
would help the economy. In addition, 53 [percent] agree that with a
higher minimum wage, businesses
would benefit from lower employee
turnover, increased productivity and
customer satisfaction.”
• “Since 1938, the federal minimum wage has been increased 22
times. For more than 75 years, real
GDP per capita has steadily increased, even when the minimum
wage has been raised.”
Young
Dinsdale applauded Iowa employers who pay a living wage, drawing
attention to, for instance, ReShonda
Young of Popcorn Heaven in Waterloo (who also spoke about the importance of a living wage) and the
Raygun T-shirt company.
She said employees are so loyal to
those businesses it saves them money in the long run.
Recently Young had an event
where she sold popcorn to men for
$1 and to women 77 cents, Dinsdale
said. The numbers indicate the average wage-gender gap.
“In terms of leadership at the company, I have adults who have lots of
expenses and I want to keep them,
they’re really, really good,” Young
said. “Turnover has been … we lost
just one person because of health
problems.”
She said her employees are committed to Popcorn Heaven and the
growth of the company.
They know she pays them more
because she cares about them, she
said.
The White House recently honored
her as a “Champion of Change.” According to the write-up: “Young has
been an active voice on Working
Family issues [such as] advocating
for pay equity, healthcare reform and
an increase in the minimum wage.
[… Young] is a founding member
of the Iowa Main Street Alliance, a
board member of the Main Street Alliance, and a USAction Board Member.”
there will be a tuition freeze for instate students for a third straight year
under the Senate’s budget proposal.
Senate Democrats also support an
increase in tuition grants for Iowa
students attending our private colleges.
The budget approved by the Senate Democrats proves we can invest
in education at all levels and balance
the budget responsibly. The Senate
does it with an overall budget the
same size as the budget proposed by
Governor Terry Branstad.
Education remains at the forefront
of discussions in the Legislature, but
with the start of summer vacation,
here are some ways to enjoy it:
• Free fishing, June 5-7 - Iowa
residents may fish without a license
as part of the Iowa’s free fishing
weekend. DNR staff will be at popular fishing spots across the state to
help beginner anglers get started.
They will assist with setting up fishing poles and distribute small kits
with basic tackle for panfishing,
along with tips and a few fun items.
• Iowa’s historic sites - Learn
about the early inhabitants of Iowa,
see the homes and lifestyles of significant Iowa politicians, discover
the trade of blacksmithing, visit the
iconic American Gothic House, and
get to know more about Lewis and
Clark. For information on all of Iowa’s historic sites and to plan a visit,

He cited data that 40 percent of
Iowa’s children have parents with
incomes so low it knocks down their
IQ by 20 percentage points.
“We need to stop this if we are to
prevent a permanent poverty class in
America,” he said.
Krause is president of the Veterans
National Recovery Center, a former
legislator and school board member
(Waterloo), part-owner of a family
farm passed down for over a century, and a former member of President Jimmy Carter’s administration.

Does a living wage include Internet or a cellphone? Most people
need one or both of those to look for
a job and await a call back. I would
just have the phone; my husband
also buys the Internet and keeps an
older cellphone.
Does it account for the fact many
older homes that wind up as rental
properties aren’t properly insulated,
or insulated at all, and wind up paying higher heating bills? In the bitter
winter of 2014 one of our winter utility bills for a roomy duplex topped
$600. Needless to say, winter 2015,
we went chiefly with space heaters.
Fortunately, my parents came up and
helped weatherize our current place
last winter.
Does a living wage take into account that we can’t rent a one-bedroom apartment because of the short
time during the summer when a family member comes to visit? And does
a living wage include providing for
pets — which for many people keep
us sane?
As for eating fresh food regularly
— let’s just say, eating a veggie sub
every day wouldn’t make my wallet
any fatter. (Remember that Subway
commercial?)
What should I do? Drop my human
and animal connections and live in a
studio apartment?
Me
Since it’s my column, here’s my
two cents’ worth. It would be great if
everyone were paid a living wage.
But it would be OK if people who
make the bare minimum got an increase and could enjoy some of the
things I take for granted like the ability to pay my part of the bills. Still,
like many, I gripe about the cost of
living.
The ideal of paying just a quarter
to a third of one’s after-tax income
toward rent, utilities, and so on that
my mother instilled me has been out
of reach most of my working life.
It’s a large chunk of my income, as
family healthcare is for my husband.
Yes, we share bills.
Krause
Krause said middle income Americans are facing stagnant wages.
He advocated for a living minimum wage that tracks with the cost
of living and no fast-tracking of
trade agreements that he says destroy more middle class income than
they create.
Krause also wants better protection for hours and conditions of employment, he said.

you with their messages and songs of faith. Jim Gates, Jim Meyer, Larry Wildeboer and Claire Emerson (three old guys and one young chick) are the Double J Wranglers. “We intend to rope and brand
you, and we promise that it won’t hurt” a line form Iowa’s own Brooke Turner is what we intend to
do. It will be a relaxed, casual service with others who appreciate that God made cowboys and the
cowboy way (doing things the right way). Head um up, move um, out it’s time for cowboy church.

Membership Statistics
Research indicates an ongoing decline in membership in organized religious organizations. The following are
what research indicates regarding some
of the denominations in our country
since 1970.
The traditional Protestant denominations report the greatest declines in the
past 45 years.
The United Church of Christ reports a
48 percent decline in membership.
The Presbyterian Church reports
down 36 percent.
The United Methodist Church reports
down 30 percent.
The ELCA (Lutheran) denomination
reports down 27 percent.
The Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, reports down 12 percent.
The Southern Baptist group of
churches report their membership is
no longer increasing, but continues the
same, at about the number of members
reported in recent years.
There are some religious groups that
report increases in membership during
this time. However, statisticians have
raised the question whether their statistics are measuring membership in the
same way as the denominations quoted
above.
For example, some denominational
groups count all who have been baptized, and not whether they have signif-

icantly maintained their membership.
Some report “conversions” to their
church, but not whether these new
members become long term active
members.
Others count persons coming Christmas and Easter and they are otherwise
not much involved in being active
members.
Some, especially those seeking to
attract members through contemporary workshop services, attract some
members for a while, but, in time this
contemporary approach becomes less
entertaining and interesting to the new
member and many drop out after a year
or two of attending services.
Also, research indicates that few persons join an organized church of any
kind coming from the secular culture.
Most new members transfer in from a
more traditional denomination.
I have friends and acquaintances in
various church groups across the country, and in visiting with them this past
year, all report about the same as what
the research indicates above.
What one makes of all this is open to
discussion. We, of course, need to give
all research prayerful thought. We remember that in a changing culture we
still are called to be faithful followers
of Jesus Christ.

All parcels in the following list or herein referred to which have been previously advertised or

REGULAR MEETING OF THE BUTLER
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HELD
ON MAY 19, 2015.
Meeting called to order at 9:00 a.m. by Chairman Tom Heidenwirth with members Rex Ackerman and Rusty Eddy present. Also present
were Engineer John Riherd, County Attorney
Greg Lievens, Emergency Management Coordinator Mitch Nordmeyer and Fern Myers, Allison, Iowa.
Minutes of the previous meeting were read
and approved as read.
Board met with New Hartford Mayor John Anderson and City Council members Larry Bass
and Gordy Ballhagen for further discussion regarding local road extension of Hwy 57 into New

Simple Seafood Recipes

FAMILY FEATURES
Submitted by Diane (Gossman) Penning of Rochester, Minn. Diane
claims Thompson, Iowa as her hometown, and reads Mid-America
Marketplace in the Buffalo Center Tribune.
This recipe reminds me of all the fabulous cooks (lunchroom
ladies) who prepared the meals for all K-12 students at the
Thompson Community School, Thompson, IA in the ‘60s and
‘70s.
I personally enjoyed the delicious, homemade brownies
with the thick chocolate frosting. Other alumni talk about the
delicious chili and fresh cinnamon rolls, grilled cheese sandwich
and tomato soup, homemade hamburger pizza, hamburger gravy
on mashed potatoes, sloppy joe sandwiches, chicken gravy on
biscuits, lettuce sandwiches (yes, lettuce) and all the other tasty
foods they prepared from scratch. We were fortunate to have
these lovely ladies fill our tummies and keep us going during
each busy school day!
Thanks, lunchroom ladies: Geneva Thorland, Alma Thomas,
Evelyn Tordoff, Mary Ryerson, Marge Thorland, Donna Lande,
Edna Sime, Cora Lura, Alice Hagenson and Evonne Larson.
(Hope I didn’t forget anyone.)
—Diane Penning
f you find your recipe repertoire growing stale, now
is the perfect time to experiment with new seafood
recipes your family will love.
Seafood makes a delicious centerpiece of any meal,
and preparing seafood can actually be quite simple.
Pan-steaming is one easy preparation that leaves the
seafood moist and makes a quick and easy sauce, too.
The technique, demonstrated in this recipe for a rich,
buttery lemon sauce, is perfect for Alaska Sockeye
salmon, as well as other species, including Alaska halibut or Alaska cod.
At the grocery store, look for high-quality fish, such
as Alaska Seafood, which is additive-free, lean and
full of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Sustainable
practices used in fishing Alaska salmon, shellfish and
whitefish varieties also mean you can feel good about
serving Alaska Seafood to your family.

2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
4 eggs
4 tsp. vanilla
1 c. chopped nuts
Mix and spread into 9x13 inch baking pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°. (Check at 20 minutes, so you
don’t overbake.)
Icing
1/4 c. softened butter
¼ c. canned milk
(regular milk is fine)
¼ c. baking cocoa
3 c. powdered sugar
Dash of salt
4 Alaska Salmon or whitefish fillets
(4 to 6 oz. each), fresh or thawed
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup white wine (sauvignon blanc
or chardonnay)
2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin
olive oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons minced fresh herbs
Remove seafood fillets from refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking.
Fill 12-inch skillet with 1 inch of
water. Add lemon slices and bring to
a simmer over medium-high heat.
Rinse seafood in cold water and pat
dry; season with salt and pepper.
Add seafood to pan, skin side
down. Cover pan tightly and cook for
4 minutes, or until seafood is lightly
translucent in the center, checking at
thickest part. Remove seafood from
pan and let rest a minute; it will finish cooking from retained heat. Remove lemon slices from steaming
liquid.
Create quick reduction sauce with
remaining liquid by adding wine,
butter, garlic and herbs to pan. Combine ingredients and continue to
simmer, allowing liquid to reduce to
desired thickness.
To serve, transfer lemon slices and
fillets to plates; drizzle fillets with
sauce.

Too familiar:
North Butler pulls away late from Butler County host Clarksville
By Kristi Nixon
CLARKSVILLE – Clarksville baseball coach Matt Finley knew what
would happen all too well.
He’s seen North Butler enough to
know that when the Bearcats get on
base, they aren’t afraid to try things,
like the suicide squeeze bunt in the third
inning that put them up for good in an
eventual 15-4 final in seven innings on
Thursday, May 28.
“I knew it was coming sooner or
later,” Finley said. “I knew they’d get
guys on and then they’d go to their bunt
game, and you know we had guys in
there at different positions that hadn’t
practiced yet and they took advantage
of it.”
North Butler coach Travis Miller
readily admits that is what his teams
always try to do.
“That’s kind of our style,” Miller said.
“We like to play small ball and really
like to put the pressure on them to make
plays and that’s kind of our M.O. (modus operandi). When we do it well, we
can win, but there’s a lot of times we
don’t do it well.”
Up to that point, Clarksville starter
Dylan Jacobs had mostly limited the
damage against the Bearcats. He did,
however, give up a first-inning run on
a controversial play.
North Butler’s Jaret Wunsch hit a
two-out single, stole second and on a
pair of throwing errors, came all the
way home, barreling into Indian starting catcher Chris Behrends and laying
him flat, to score the opening run.
Behrends, an eighth grader, eventually left the game complaining of a sore
shoulder.
“We went back to what we needed to
North Butler’s Dan Mouw squares up to bunt for a sacrifice in the
fourth inning of the Bearcats’ non-conference win over Clarksville
on Thursday, May 28. (Kristi Nixon photo)
do,” Finley said. “(We) had a guy making his first varsity start and pitched a
heck of a ballgame for us until he ran
out of gas. We played well.
“We would have been all right if they
wouldn’t have hit every single batter
I’ve got for whatever reason, which
took out one pitcher and another pitcher
I would have used got ran over in the
first inning. I have to find some replacement for him to catch right now.”
But Clarksville came right back in the
bottom half of the inning to tie it when
Jordan Myers reached on a two-out error, and got two straight singles from
Dylan Ciavarelli and Skyler Gilbert, the

Change happens
Seems like the first half of 2015 can
be summed up in one word – change!
We’ve seen changes brought on by
the 2014 Farm Bill. ARC-CO, ARC-IC
and PLC have replaced old programs
like ACRE, Direct Payments and
Countercyclical Payments.
Sign-up deadlines were constantly
changed from late February to March
to April. Final deadline to update yield
history or reallocate base acres also was
extended to April 7. (Good thing we
rushed to get all of those meetings done
well ahead of the February deadline!)
Many changes came about with the
decrease in crop prices and increase in
livestock prices. (Could result in less
livestock at fair this year!) A popular
jingle on TV for a hotel chain goes,
“Should I stay or should I go?” Many
farmers could easily change the lyrics
to “Should I sell or should I store?”
According to sources (who know way
more than I do!) it’s not going to benefit farmers to hold on to last year’s
crop when all indications are pointing
to another record number of crop acres
being put into production.
Mike Duffy tells us that land values
are coming down in most parts of Iowa.
If land values are going down and crop
prices are going down, why are rent
rates not going down? We’ve seen little
change in the costs of production either.
Seems to me that high rent combined
with low prices will ultimately result in
some farmers having difficulty paying
their bills.
Add to this the avian flu epidemic and
the resulting loss of chickens and eggs,
the loss of jobs from those facilities and
feed mills and we have another cause
for concern. I can’t begin to imagine the
impact such losses have on a county.
We’ve also seen BIG changes in the
4-H world, from a new CYC to a new
fair entry system. It seems to me the
new process will ultimately be much
easier and quicker but like any “new”
thing, there are bugs to work out and
glitches to override. Holly has provided
help sheets, offered a help night and has
been working hard at the office helping
all families get their members entered
for fair. Why do SO MANY people
think identifying an animal into 4hOnline is the same as entering an animal
for fair in fair entry? This has never
been the same thing and we’ve been
doing both for five years!
As the old saying goes “The only
thing constant is change.” Always has
been. Always will be. Just like the Farm
Bill brought changes to the world of agriculture, fair entry has brought change
to 4-H.
Change happens – will you happen
to change or be one of those who complains the whole time. My kids had a
teacher who frequently told them to “be
the change.” In other words, don’t hang
back hoping the changes will go away,
embrace them, grow with them and
learn from them!

latter driving in the run.
But after that fateful third inning in
which Wunsch brought in the go-ahead
run with his suicide squeeze, North
Butler kept tacking on to keep the game
out of reach.
The Indians also had some trouble on
the mound, running out of arms against
the Bearcats.
“Having another game tomorrow
(Friday), we had to hold a guy back
otherwise I’d have another guy ready
to go,” Finley explained. “Playing last
(Wednesday) night, I already used one
(pitcher), made it kind of difficult.”
The Bearcats used that to score 10
runs in the final two innings to make
the score appear not as close as it was
at first.
“Every year, it’s pretty tight, you
know?” Miller said. “Just because it is
that rivalry and it doesn’t matter who
has a good team, bad team, whatever,
it’s just always close. Our aggressive
play, I think, finally kicked in, running
the bases and stuff. It took a while to get
it going.”
After taking a 15-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh, Clarksville showed
its patience, getting a hit by Myers, four
walks and a hit batsman to score three
in the bottom half for the final score.
“They kept right after it,” Miller said
of Clarksville. “It’s pretty easy for a
high school team to, when you get
down to say, ‘aw, the heck with it.’ But
they didn’t do that at all.”
And Finley fully expects to see North
Butler again in the post-season.

AMES, Iowa -- Due to an increased
interest in home food preservation, Iowa
State University Extension and Outreach
has developed the “Preserve the Taste of
Summer” program. This program includes
both online lessons and a hands-on workshop focusing on home food preservation
with the most current USDA-approved
food preservation recommendations.
“Preserve the Taste of Summer” is a
comprehensive food preservation program offered for those 18 years or older.
This program includes eight online lessons and the choice of one of four handson workshops. The workshops and classes focus on how to can, freeze, make jam
and dehydrate food properly.
“We created ‘Preserve the Taste of
Summer,’ to help Iowans learn researchbased food preservation information,”
said Sarah Francis, a human sciences
state specialist in nutrition and wellness.
“Everything we teach is research based.”
When food preservation is done correctly, it is a great way to have fresh,
home grown produce year round. However, when food is preserved incorrectly,
it has great potential to cause foodborne
illness to a person or family. The “Preserve the Taste of Summer” program
teaches research-based food preservation
techniques to show how to properly preserve food and stay away from foodborne
illness, like botulism.

Board has 9 ‘high-risk’ public trees removed
7 were ash; landowners to be contacted about replacement
Mira Schmitt-Cash
Editor
ALLISON — Affordable Tree Service, Ackley, has been removing
high-risk trees in the public right-ofway, for the Allison Tree Board.
Board Chairman Dr. George indicated the rotten inside trunk of one
downed tree in a photo taken Tuesday.
“That tree could’ve fallen on that
house in any minor windstorm,”
North said.
“The trees were high-risk trees in
terms of liability,” he said.
The city is responsible for trees
in its right-of-way. This is the third
year of this urban forest management project, North said. Since
small towns don’t have city arbor-
ists, the Tree Board is responsible
for the project, he said.
In the project, the board has removed about seven trees a year, as
budget has allowed.
Because a few of this year’s trees
were smaller, the board fit the removal of nine trees into the current
budget, he said. Seven of them were
ash trees, and two, “risky” maples,
he said.
The bulk of this year’s round of removals was due to disease, age, dead
branches at the top — also emerald
ash borer strategy, North said.
The emerald ash borer is an invasive species of beetle that attacks
only ash trees. The larvae feast on
the interior ash bark, starving the tree
by cutting off its food transport system. Because of the threat of spread-
ing the pest, all of Iowa is under a
quarantine that forbids the transport
of firewood, as of February 2014.
The nearest confirmed emerald ash
borer findings to Butler County are
in Bremer and Black Hawk counties.
North said planting trees to replace
these removed urban trees, in cooperation with property owners, will be
on the agenda next year.
“In spring 2016, we’re going to
make an effort to start replacing
those trees,” he said.
He said property owners where
trees were removed will be contacted when the board is ready to move
on with planting.
The stumps will be ground, Tree
Board member Duane Feltz said.
A cross-section of a tree being removed shows rot taking over the trunk.
