Entrepreneur Jessi Reints takes time out from looking at
applications for employees at Clarksville Child Development.
Reints began reconstructing what was the pharmacy in
May, and is trying to repurpose and reuse items to make the
daycare affordable for area families.
Jessi Reints, who was an assistant
at Clarksville Public Library,
is stepping out to become an
entrepreneur. The mother of two
boys is starting Clarksville Child
Development at 111 South Main
St., filling in the vacancy left
open when Clarksville Pharmacy
closed last year. She is currently
taking applications part- and fulltime positions.
Here’s a question-and-answer
interview with Reints from last
week.
What has been the response
from the community of starting a
daycare?
There have been some negatives,
but for the most part it’s been
excellent responses to having a
daycare in town, which has been
a big need. There are two home
daycares registered in town and
three or four non-registered in-home
daycares, but everyone, for the most
part, is full.
What age groups is the daycare
for?
We’re going to do six weeks to
school age, approximately fifth to
sixth grade. We’ll be open both
before and after school and in the
summer. There are lots of different
options – drop-ins, emergency
backup… We’ll have four different
areas – infants, toddlers [15 months
to 3], preschoolers [3-4] and schoolagers [K-5]. Right now, everything
will be partitioned off. There’ll be
open space, which I really wanted. I
think it’s important they can see the
other kids.
Why did you decide to do this?
I have my AA [associate’s] in
early childhood, as well as my BA
[bachelor’s]. I just decided after
some needs of me doing after school
care at home, and then full-time
care. I still get calls, all the in-homes
are full, and there are only so many
options. I want to make sure we have
child care in town. It’s a big thing.
We’ve had families inquire, and
if there’s no childcare in town, it’s
hard to get young families to come
to town. So I think it’s good for our
community to get them to come
and stay.
How many kids can you take?
Once it’s all said and done, our
fire marshal plans state I can have
75 in here. I think that right now,
I’m going to cap it at 60. I’ve had
enough inquiries to have well over
that many kids, but we’ll see… It’s
been exciting.
When did you guys start tearing
down the old pharmacy stuff?
We officially started working in May,
and we’re hoping to open sometime
this summer, but that didn’t happen
which is fine. We’re just working
away now and hoping for October.
When did Clarksville Lumber,
Huisman and others begin
helping?
These guys started working about
two weeks ago [before this week].
My goal is to provide affordable
daycare, and to do so, I really want
to be able to repurpose and reuse
what I can so it can be affordable for
families. We’re going for a natural,
repurposed, easy-going theme. It
has been exciting from start to now.
Once they’re done with construction,
plumbing, electrical, we’ll go
through and give the ceilings all a
fresh coat of paint, and all the walls
will get a fresh coat of paint. We’ll
prime and paint all the shelving, all
the wall units… The main front desk
is actually the old pharmacy counter
that we are repurposing, and same
with the desk from Huber’s upstairs
we’re repurposing too. Where there
is carpet, it will stay. And where
there isn’t carpet, we’ll get tiles or
linoleum. Each classroom I need to
have soft and hard floors for different
things. All the messy type activities
will need to be on hard floors, so it
kind of worked out perfect. Use what
we can, with what we have. Again,
we just want it to be affordable, not
only for us, but for families.

work to put out a car on fire last Friday. (Paula Barnett Photo)
Last Friday afternoon, a twovehicle accident occurred in rural
north Clarksville. At State Highway
188 and Union Avenue intersection,
an ’11 Chevy Malibu was making a
right turn and rear-ended by a 2003
Nissan Altima. Butler Chief Deputy
Steve Schmadeke said the Altima
driver with Nebraska license plates
failed to see the car turning, before
the car caught fire. Clarksville
Ambulance checked over all those

involved, as no one was transported.
Clarksville and Plainfield fire
departments were also on scene to
put out the fire.
“The fire just happened,” Schmadeke
said. “It doesn’t happen that often, but
something must have hit just right in
the front right part of the car.”
Sheltered Reality drummers
came to Clarksville last
week to provide fun and
entertainment in the gym,
as well as the Positive

They Gotta’ Have Cover,
Pheasants That Is…
BOONE -- “They Gotta’ Have Cover” is a new and catchy way to call
attention to what farmers can do
to bring back pheasants and other
grassland birds.
Debuting at the Farm Progress
Show in Boone, Aug. 26-28, the
video features three farmers rapping
about the cover types they’ve planted, then nurtured to shelter and feed
pheasant throughout the year.
Once you hear the lyrics, you
won’t be able to forget them.
“They gotta’ have cover! Yes they
do, yes they do!” or
“Gotta’ have grass for the pheasants to nest, 10 to 12 inches is what
the hens like best.”
It’s not as simple as planting a
field of brome or switch grass, and
watching the birds fly. The DNR’s
research shows that managed farms
with three essential types of habitat
produce more birds than unmanaged
farms — three times as many.
What’s good for pheasant is good
for most grassland birds, from meadowlarks to quail; Henslowe sparrows to bobolinks.
Since the 1960s, Iowa has lost half
the ideal land for grassland birds –
land in hay and small grains like oats
– dropping from more than 7 million to 3.4 million acres. As a result,
grassland birds are in trouble.
“Gotta’ have Cover” gives farmers
a quick tutorial on how to bring the
birds back. The video is on the Iowa
DNR’s pheasant page at www.iowadnr.gov/pheasants.
Stop by the DNR booth in Conservation Central, Lot 817, at the Farm
Progress Show and prepare to be entertained.
While you’re there, check out
“Farmer Feud,” hot topic speakers, nine cover crop plots, the Soil
Health trailer and booths at all 12
conservation partners. More information is available at www.
iowadnr.gov or www.nrcs.usda.

It comes to us slowly and delicately, as all beautiful things should. It’s
usually in the early morning. We can
smell it. We can feel it. That little nip
that teases us … autumn. Almost autumn.
Summer is heat and work and
sweat and cold drinks of water and
swimming and barbecues. But autumn is Fall … the pinnacle. This
is when people have the county and
state fairs, because the vegetables
and animals are at their peak and
ready to show. The heat drove some
of us into the house this stifling summer and led us to make quilts, make
furniture, can fruit. And now, if
they’re good enough (and we know,
if no one else does) they can go to
the fair, too.
In the mountains, the deer and
elk are at their finest, with antlers
dark brown with the patina of age
and wisdom and those tips white as
ivory. Polished. This is the polished
time.
We are all at some kind of pinnacle in autumn. We have worked
through the heat and now we can
plan to ratchet it back a bit. We can
take our skills to the mountains for
hunting and fishing, or just discover
a new hobby there at the house that
will keep hands and mind busy during the cold to come.
The children are off to school, preparing themselves so someday their
autumns will be like this, sweet with
fulfillment, honed to a point, seeping
with satisfaction the way ours are.
Autumn … come and whisper to
us in the morning. I’m almost here.
Almost here. Almost here.

MISS CHRISTINE from page 1
full-time as a self-employed musician. In Boston, I picked up gigs for
weddings and classic rock cover bands.
[Now in Nashville, Tenn.], I played
in Kentucky at a baseball game two
weeks ago, and Saturday I played at a
motorcycle race in Springfield, Ill. I’ve
been able to find work pretty quickly
down here.
Who are your musical influences?
Band-wise, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin
and Marvin Gaye influence me. Basically, I grew up listening to ‘60s and
‘70s rock and Motown thanks to my
dad [Randy Moad]. He really likes that
music. But my two favorite bass players are Paul McCartney and James Jamerson.
What does the future hold?
I’m playing tonight [Monday] at this
thing called Whiskey Jam, and then
Wednesday at a mansion in East Nashville, where I currently live now, and
Saturday at the Tennessee State Fair
with Fabrizio and the Fever.
What is Nashville like?
I’ve been able to see a lot, and I think
I’m going through culture shock. It’ a
lot different than living in the Midwest
or on the east coast, but I need to be
here for my career. I’m about 10 minutes from downtown Nashville, and
live in East Nashville, which is the up
and coming part of town where a lot of
artists and creative people are moving
because it’s cheap to live. The Black
Keys and Jack White of the White
Stripes live here.
What are your plans in Nashville?
My goal is to record a full-length
album, because I really want to play
shows as Miss Christine and get a following. It’s hard now [though], because
when you start off as a solo artist or
band, you can’t make a lot of money.
For example, another band I play in
called Dirty Blind makes about $50
a show. So I need to make as much
money possible and hopefully be able
to focus on artistic stuff instead of playing covers.
How hard was this EP to make?
It took over a year to make this and
a lot of money. I poured so much time
and heart and soul on a three-minute
song that people can click on iTunes
and decide to give me a dollar or not.
It was easier than the first one, because
I learned more about the process and
knew more about where to record and
who to work with, but it was a really
long process. I was really happy with
the end product [though].
What are the songs about?
One song on there I wrote about an
old best friend from Iowa, but a lot of
it has to do with the uncertainities of
life and growing up and just trial and
error. I was just going for it, and trying
not to be afraid of what people would
think. The whole process of recording
and releasing this was a big deal for me,
because it’s the first time where I just
put all my insecurities to the side and
decided to make something I wanted to
be proud of.
Where did you record this?
At Q Division Studios I tracked the
vocals, which was really cool because
it’s where Stacy’s Mom [Fountains of
Wayne] was recorded and Black Seven
and a bunch of hit records. It just felt
cool being able to go into the room and
sing in there.
What does it feel like to see all this
after growing up in Allison?
I think you can do whatever you want
to do, and it doesn’t matter where you
come from. I’m really happy I grew up
in Allison, and I miss it a lot. I hope other people pursue their dreams as well.

Meet Waverly Health Center’s
New Leader Sept. 10
Waverly Health Center (WHC) is

chief executive officer Jim Atty at Duos
Coffee and Ice Cream on Wednesday,
September 10 from 8 to 10 a.m. During
this time, guests will be treated to a free
cup of coffee and have an opportunity
to meet him.
Mr. Atty will join WHC on September 8, 2014. Prior to joining the health
center, Jim served as the chief executive officer of Humboldt County Memorial Hospital in Humboldt, Iowa. He
is originally from Cedar Rapids.
Waverly Health Center’s Nursing
Excellence Recognized with
Prestigious Magnet® Recognition
Recognition achieved by 401 out of nearly 6,000 U.S. healthcare organizations
Waverly Health Center (WHC) has
achieved Magnet® recognition as a reflection of its nursing professionalism,
teamwork, and superiority in patient
care. Magnet recognition is determined
by the American Nurses Credentialing
Center’s (ANCC) Magnet Recognition
Program®, which ensures that rigorous standards for nursing excellence
are met. With this credential, WHC
joins the Magnet community—a select
group of 401 health care organizations
out of nearly 6,000 U.S. health care organizations.
“Magnet recognition provides our
community with the ultimate benchmark to measure the quality of patient
care,” said Joanne Nathem, MSN, RN,
WHC chief clinical and nursing officer.
“Achieving Magnet recognition reinforces the culture of excellence that is a
cornerstone of how we serve our com-
munity. It’s also the tangible evidence
of our nurses’ commitment to providing the very best care to our patients, of
which we are extremely proud.”
Magnet recognition has become the
gold standard for nursing excellence
and is taken into consideration when
the public judges healthcare organizations. In fact, U.S. News & World Report’s annual showcase of “America’s
Best Hospitals” includes Magnet recognition in its ranking criteria for quality of inpatient care.
To achieve Magnet recognition, organizations must pass a rigorous and
lengthy process that demands widespread participation from leadership
and staff. The process begins with the
submission of an electronic application,
followed by written documentation
demonstrating qualitative and quantitative evidence regarding patient care and

outcomes. If scores from the written
documentation fall within a range of
excellence, an on-site visit will occur to
thoroughly assess the applicant. After
this rigorous on-site review process, the
Commission on Magnet will review the
completed appraisal report and vote to
determine whether Magnet recognition
will be granted.
In particular, the Magnet model is designed to provide a framework for nursing practice, research, and measurement
of outcomes. Through this framework,
ANCC can assess applicants across
a number of components and dimensions to gauge an organization’s nursing excellence. The foundation of this
model is composed of various elements
deemed essential to delivering superior
patient care. These include the quality
of nursing leadership and coordination
and collaboration across specialties, as
well as processes for measuring and
improving the quality and delivery of
care.
Magnet recognition has been shown
to provide specific benefits to hospitals
and their communities, such as
• Higher patient satisfaction with
nurse communication, availability of
help, and receipt of discharge information;
• Lower risk of 30-day mortality
and lower failure to rescue;
• Higher job satisfaction among
nurses; and
• Lower nurse reports of intentions
to leave position.

Department of Agriculture to expand
the Iowa Habitat and Access Program
(IHAP). The announcement came from
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack in August as part of a $20 million
allocation to 10 states.
The DNR’s Iowa Habitat and Access
Program provides landowners with
financial assistance to improve habitat. In return, participating landowners
agree to open those lands for public
hunting.
According to Kelly Smith, private
lands program coordinator, the DNR
will use the grant to enhance 22,000
acres with improvements such as grass
seeding, tree and shrub plantings, food
plots, timber stand improvements and
wetland restorations.
“We’ve seen growing demand by
hunters for more public access, and by
landowners for more habitat improvement opportunities,” said Smith. “This
grant will more than triple the number
of acres enrolled in the program.”
The DNR launched the Iowa Habitat and Access Program in 2011. Since
then, more than 8,000 acres at 50 locations have received habitat improvements and provided new hunting opportunities.
“We have surveyed participating
landowners and they have shown high
satisfaction with the program,” said
Smith. “Landowners say they’ve had

Additionally, hunters seem pleased to
have more options for places to hunt.
Lands enrolled in IHAP are open for
public hunting from Sept. 1 – May 31
and follow the same regulations as public wildlife areas.
“We ask hunters to fill out cards to let
us know about their hunting experience
on an IHAP parcel,” said Smith. “Of
236 people who completed a card in
2013, 98 percent said they would come
back.”
The grant dollars came from the
USDA’s Voluntary Public Access and
Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP).
The program is administered by the
federal Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to expand or improve habitat in existing public access
programs or provide incentives to improve habitat on land already enrolled
in their public access programs.
If landowners are interested in participating, they should contact their local
DNR private lands biologist. For more

Training A Skilled Iowa Workforce
Studies repeatedly find that employers are unable to find workers
with the skills to fill job openings,
education and training do not match
workplace needs, and workers are
not aware of programs that can train
them in new skills. Remedying those
problems is the most important thing
we can go to strengthen Iowa’s middle class and grow our economy.
Middle-skill jobs are on the rise
and are expected to make up 62 percent of Iowa positions in four years.
However, only about a third of Iowa
workers qualify for them, according
to a report on Middle-Skill Jobs in
Iowa. Middle-skill jobs encompass
a wide range of occupations, from
computer specialists and radiation
therapists to carpenters and machinists; positions that require some education beyond high school but not a
four-year degree.
This year, we continued our work
to expand training and apprenticeship programs that will prepare more
workers to fill openings for good
jobs in their communities.
We are keeping tuition affordable
with a boost in funding for Iowa’s
community colleges, the first place
many Iowans go to further their education, training and career opportunities. We are investing in internships so that Iowa students studying
science, technology, engineering
and math (STEM) can get hands-on
experience in these growing fields.
Also we are increasing the number
of skilled workers by committing
more than $40 million to job training efforts.
We are also improving and expanding apprenticeship programs, which
provide supervised on-the-job training and technical classroom studies.
Last year, Iowa had 662 apprenticeship programs, with more than 8,100
apprentices.
By investing in apprenticeships,
Labor Day, any day,
count your blessings
By Glenn Mollette
The average American is happy to
have a paying job with the opportunity to make a little more money.
Most Americans would like to work
a few extra hours when they could.
However, many Americans dream of
retiring to fish, golf, garden, or relax.
Others enjoy working so much that
they never quit.
It all depends on the kind of work
you do. If you are a coal miner, then
retirement at 55 looks great. If the
daily manual labor is not too overtaxing then many enjoy staying on
the job.
Some of my dearest friends are in
their seventies and still work five
days a week and sometimes more.
A friend of mine who manages entertainers is 78 and has no current
plans to retire. Another is 76 and is
out every day working for a large
corporation. Both agree that staying
busy has been good for their mental
and physical health.
On the flip side of this are people
in their seventies who have to work.
Often they have jobs they don’t really enjoy but without working some
they couldn’t survive.
Life would be almost impossible
without Social Security and Medicare for America’s senior adults.
Most of our elderly would be starving or homeless without these two
government programs. These programs along with people working
whatever jobs they can find, keep
most of America’s seniors off the
streets. I only wish that the money
collected from people would stay in
these programs.
Every American deserves a break
on Labor Day weekend, Sunday or
someday during the week. A rest
from the daily grind helps us to reflect and appreciate life a little more.
Unfortunately, millions of Americans would love the opportunity to
work through Labor Day and the rest
of the holidays if they could find a
paying job. Without an income it’s
almost impossible to relax and enjoy
any day.
On Labor Day or any day, count
your blessings if life is going well
for you.

we will make sure local employers have the skilled workers they
need. Additionally, it is a good deal
for trainees; they are paid to learn a
skilled trade and earn a nationally
recognized credential.
In addition to state support for apprenticeship programs, Iowa recently was awarded a $6.1 million federal grant that will place 1,500 Iowans
in apprenticeship-based occupations
in high-demand industries. Learn more about the opportunities apprenticeships provide Iowa

Cell phones while driving:
Should the State House decide?
By Dr. Gary Welton
According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, 14 states
have enacted laws against hand-held
use of cell phones by all drivers.
These 14 states include 11 blue
states, two swing states and one red
state. These bans are already in effect in 12 states; two of them will
become effective within the next
year. Be aware that when you cross a
state line, you could be committing a
crime.
These laws have been justified by
claims that 25 percent of the nation’s
car accidents are caused by cell
phones. The claim, however, that a
given behavior causes a particular
result is a claim that requires scientific support. The data indicates that
25 percent of accidents occur while
the driver is using the cell phone
(or is in the process of initiating or
completing the interaction). That,
however, is not the same as being the
cause of the accident. More information is needed.
If indeed cell phones were causing accidents, then it would be reasonable to guess that there would be
more accidents in recent years than in
the previous years when cell phones
were rare. In fact, however, according to the National Safety Council,
the number of annual accidents in
1990 and 1995 (11.1 million) was
somewhat higher than the number of
annual accidents from 2005 to 2009
(10.5 million). The data do not appear to be consistent with the claim.
During the same years, the number
of traffic deaths was also down.
Most states have passed legislation
against texting. This makes total intuitive sense to me, although I admit
that there is not enough data yet to
definitively conclude that texting
causes accidents. However, I can
think of no reasonable argument to
support any unique potential benefits
of texting while driving.
The question for the experienced
adult driver is this:
Should I myself be able to make
the decision as to when cell phone
use is appropriate and helpful in my
particular situation, or should the
state government have the authority to make a blanket ban against my
cell phone use?
Until there is sufficient empirical evidence to support the claim
that cell phone use causes traffic
accidents, I think that cell phone
use should be my personal decision
rather than a matter of government
legislation.

Iowa counties stick to
home over frac sand mining
By Amber Rouse
IowaWatch.org
A group of northeast Iowans effectively is keeping large frac sand
mine companies from mining silicarich sand in their county by building
a consortium that set aside politics
and focused on dealing with the
matter locally, instead of with state
intervention.
Allamakee County enacted this
year a countywide ordinance restricting mining the silica sand used
in other states to extract natural gas
and oil in a process called hydraulic
fracturing. Silica sand, a natural resource found in northeast Iowa, the
southeast corner of Minnesota and
much of Wisconsin, is found in only
three Iowa counties — Allamakee,
Winneshiek and Clayton.
“I’m not opposed to sand mining,
but I do feel that it could occur under
restrictions or controls that protect
the residents and the resident’s interests,” Allamakee County Planning
and Zoning Commissioner Thomas
Blake said.
Allamakee County’s neighbors
to the west, in Winneshiek County,
have passed a moratorium on largescale sand mining and are considering a countywide ordinance to restrict it. Clayton County allows frac
sand mining without the kinds of
restrictions found in its neighbors to
the north.
Silica sand’s fine texture makes it a
prime ingredient that can be pumped
into fissures in fracking wells to allow
the fissures to stay open and extract
natural gases and oil. The process of
fracking creates controversy because
of excessive chemical use and contamination to water supply and air.
While fracking is controversial on
its own, so is mining the sand used
for the process because of its impact
on wildlife habitats in the hills, forests and bluffs for which Allamakee
The Mississippi River bend, viewed from Mt. Hosmer City Park in Lansing, provides one of several
views that local residents say drive tourism to Allamakee County in Iowa’s northeast corner. Those
residents fashioned a county ordinance that they believe effectively keeps large frac sand mines
from being opened in the county. (Lyle Muller/IowaWatch)
County and several other northeast
Iowa counties are known.
Keeping The Fight Local
Another concern of the Allamakee
County Protectors was that, under
Republican Gov. Terry Branstad,
Iowa might act in the same manner
as Wisconsin, which, under Republican Gov. Scott Walker, has been a
sympathetic state for sand mining.
Branstad said in an IowaWatch interview this summer that sand mining should be regulated, but that it
produces economic benefits. He said
construction of a new fertilizer plant
in Lee County and the expansion of
another in Woodbury County would
not have happened without fracking.
Natural gases retrieved with fracking that uses silica sands are a necessary ingredient in synthetic nitrogen
fertilizer, which is used by farmers
to fertilize their crops to produce
higher yields.
Iowa Fertilizer Company is building a $1.8 billion fertilizer plant in
Lee County. Steve Bisenius, the
county’s economic development executive, said the plant is expected to
bring 240 to 250 jobs to the area. CF
Industries, responsible for the fertilizer plant expansion in Woodbury
County, has a construction budget of
$1.7 billion, Woodbury County Engineer Mark Nahra said.
“Fracking sand is Iowa’s small
share of the benefit,” Branstad said.
“It’s been a very economical way to
meet some of the needs of our state.”

You complete me
Without my kids, I’m just a creature
looking for love.
With my kids, I’m a man with a heart
of gold.
Ya see, my kids complete me.
I don’t know if it’s their faces, expressions or feelings, but all the parts of the
whole burst my capacity for love.
I find energy I didn’t know I had
when I’m with them. And sleep, man,
sleep comes easy. I sleep like a rock
from exhaustion.
And time. Well time ceases to exist.
Time is more like the morning, then
midday nap, with an afternoon, dinner
and bed.
What’s happening out in the world?
Who knows? The kids are my world.
I couldn’t tell you about the NFL or
college football, or if Oklahoma had
another tornado or what letter the next
hurricane is going to be. All I know, is
Peanut got a Jake and the Neverland Pirates ship from Nana T and threw Jake

old green bandana that I got at a military surplus shop years ago. It’s really
cute to see this as her security blanket;
at least until she finds something else.
Life with my kids is simple. It’s also
tiresome, but in a good way. The kids’
boundless energy makes rest even more
precious. I also dig watching cartoons
or Disney movies with them, helping
them play with toys, listening to them
pronounce or say a first word, watching
them attack a park’s playground or run
through the sprinkler like the first time.
It’s all a trip, man.
It’s a rebirth of life for me. I get a socalled second chance at it. Maybe this
time I’ll hit a home run or something
great.
In the meantime, though, let’s go get
a Dairy Queen.

acres of underground mine and 300 acres of above ground for plant operations, shipping and storage, ponding and drying, maintenance, a fabrication shop, reclamation areas and an open pit mine.

Yard and Garden:
Improve Landscape in
Late Summer, Early Fall
By Richard Jauron,
Horticulture
and Greg Wallace
Iowa State University
Extension and Outreach
As late summer becomes early
fall, it is a great time to get outside
and do some yard work. Get tips
on great ways to improve the yard,
trees, garden and flower beds from
Iowa State University Extension
and Outreach horticulturists. To
have additional questions answered,
contact the ISU Hortline at 515-2943108 or hortline@iastate.edu.
Is late summer/early fall a good
time to plant a tree?
Mid-August through September
is an excellent time to plant pine,
spruce and other evergreens.
(Evergreens planted in late October
or November may not have adequate
time to become established before
the onset of winter and could be
subject to desiccation, injury and
death.) Deciduous trees and shrubs
can be planted from August through
early November. Water newly
planted trees every day for three or
four days and then gradually reduce
the frequency of watering. When
watering, slowly apply water to the
rootball and the surrounding soil. A
thorough watering every seven to
10 days (in dry weather) should be
sufficient three to four weeks after
planting. Continue watering until the
ground freezes.
Can perennials be successfully
planted in late summer/early fall?
Late summer/early fall is an
excellent time to plant many
perennials. It also is a good time to
move or divide perennials, such as
peony, daylily, garden phlox and
Oriental poppy. Perennials planted
in late summer or early fall should
be mulched with several inches of
straw, pine needles or other materials
in late fall. Mulching helps prevent
repeated freezing and thawing of
the soil that may heave plants out of
the ground. Drying of exposed plant
crowns and roots can cause severe
damage or death.
When is the best time to sow grass
seed?
Mid-August to mid-September
is the best time to seed new lawns
and overseed existing lawns in Iowa.
Late-summer seeding has several
advantages over spring seeding.
The seeds of cool-season grasses
germinate quickly in the warm soil
of late summer. The warm days and
cool nights of early fall promote
rapid turfgrass growth. The growing
grass also has less competition from
weeds as few weed seeds germinate
in fall.
When should I plant tulips and
daffodils?
October is the ideal time to plant
tulips, daffodils and other springflowering bulbs. Plant bulbs in
groups or clusters to achieve
maximum visual impact. Bulbs
planted individually or in single
rows are generally not as effective.
Spring-flowering bulbs can be
planted as late as December if the
ground is not frozen.
Are there any vegetables that can
be planted in late summer?
For a fall crop, plant leaf lettuce
and spinach in mid-August. Radishes
can be planted from mid-August
to mid-September. October is the
best time to plant garlic in Iowa.
Plant cloves one inch deep with the
pointed side up. To prevent winter
injury, cover garlic with a 4- to
6-inch layer of weed-seed free straw.
In early spring, move the straw to
between the rows to allow the garlic
foliage to emerge.

Help Children Read for Success
Children must learn to read before
they can read to learn. Parents, families and friends can help them on
their way to reading independently,
says Cindy Thompson, human sciences specialist in family life with
Iowa State University Extension and
Outreach.
Reading is an important skill for
children for many reasons, especially because up until the end of third
grade, most children are learning to
read, Thompson said. However in
fourth grade, they begin reading to
learn. They begin using their skills
to gain more information in subjects
such as math and science and to
solve problems. They are beginning
to think critically about what they
are learning, as well as act upon and
share that knowledge in the world
around them.
“If children are reading below
grade level, their textbooks and
other materials will be hard for them
to understand and cause frustration.
We cannot depend on schools to take
the full responsibility for children
becoming good readers by themselves,” Thompson said.
There are many things parents,
grandparents, siblings or family
friends can do to help children learn
to read independently. Reading to babies helps them attend to language,
learn new words and understand the
structure of language. Reading stories to preschoolers helps them work
on meaning and language development. Older preschoolers are moving to more complex stories with a
plot. They are understanding more
about themselves and others, and
also are developing richer language
and more sophisticated vocabulary.
Children with a large working vocabulary will do better in school,
Thompson said.
“As children get older they need
someone to read with them and become a reading partner. Reading
then becomes a shared experience
with both of you participating. It is
easy to do and may be more enjoyable for everyone,” Thompson said.
Thompson offers some shared
reading strategies, starting with ones
for younger inexperienced readers
to more independent readers. For
younger readers, find books with
many pictures. Ask the child openended questions about the pictures
and have the child tell the story
through the pictures. Gradually, as
the child becomes more familiar with
print, before reading a page, ask the
child to find certain words and letters or the largest and smallest word.
In books that have repeating phrases,
ask the child to fill in those phrases.
As skills build, you can read a passage in a book and then ask the child
to read it or even with the child, read
a passage out loud at the same time.
Taking turns reading pages comes
next. “Finally, ask the child to read
out loud to you,” Thompson said.
“Helping children become better
readers can be as easy as talking to
them and adding new words to their
vocabulary. Help them write their
own stories and illustrate them by
drawing pictures. Have books available in your home. Encourage your
children’s interest in reading. It will
help them in school and promote a
lifelong love of reading,” Thompson
said.
Get more help reading to children
by attending a Family Storyteller series, which ISU Extension and Outreach provides in local communities.

“Make Your Own”
Worksheet Helps Producers Identify
Selections for 2014 Farm Bill
By Ann Johanns
Department of Economics
Iowa State University
Extension and Outreach
AMES, Iowa -- The Agricultural
Act of 2014 is important legislation.
It provides farmland owners and
operators the opportunity to make
a one-time election of a commodity
program for 2014 through 2018. The
legislation also allows the operator to
enroll annually in a chosen program.
Iowa State University Extension and
Outreach provides several resources
to assist in this decision-making
process.
“While the Farm Bill of 2014
provides opportunities for farmers
to update their farm selections,
it is important that they consider
several factors before making these
decisions,” said Ann Johanns,
extension
program
specialist.
Johanns coordinates Ag Decision
Maker, an agricultural economics
and business website sponsored by
Iowa State University Extension and
Outreach.
“We have developed several
tools, including the Base Acreage
Reallocation and Payment Yield
Update, to assist owners and
operators as they determine what is
best for their business and family,”
Johanns said.

economist with Iowa State University
Extension and Outreach, developed
the Base Acreage Reallocation and
Payment Yield Update.
“Opportunities to update base acres
and payment yields for commodity
programs are few and far between,”
Plastina said. “So farmers should
seriously consider this opportunity
provided by the 2014 Farm Bill.”
“The worksheet is a simple tool to
evaluate the convenience of having
the payment formulas for some
commodity programs updated to
better reflect current production
patterns on a farm-by-farm basis,”
Plastina added. He noted that the
decision tool includes multiple
worksheets to allow information for
up to five farms.
The Base Acreage Reallocation
and
Payment
Yield
Update
worksheet was designed to help
Iowa farmland owners with base
acreage reallocation decisions for the
Agricultural Risk Coverage-County
(ARC-CO) program and the Price
Loss Coverage (PLC) program, and
with payment yield update decisions
for the PLC program. To access this
and other online tools, go to www.
extension.iastate.edu/agdm.
To further support producers, a
series of workshops will be held
across Iowa to provide information
about the Farm Bill and the impact it
has on producers. The meetings will
be held once final regulations are set.
A complete schedule will be posted
on the AgDM Farm Bill Web page
at www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/
info/farmbill.html.
How did YOUR garden do this summer? If you watered it, (after the monsoons in June!) it probably did okay.
But, if you’re like me and totally spaced
that little necessity off, your garden
probably looks like mine – all dried up!
Now is the time to be saving seeds
for next year’s garden, especially if you
have had great success with a particular
variety of beans, tomato or something
else.
And just how do you go about storing
those seeds? Well, you could just dump
them in a glass jar, label it and be done
with it, but that’s not very exciting and
if you want to get kids involved there’s
another method that’s much more fun!
Since dryness is a key factor is seed
storage, paper is a great choice. Just
about any type of envelope will work
from a coin envelope to a tea packet.
Get the kids involved in coloring packets and labeling them with the type of
seed inside.
You can even make your own seed
envelope using an image from a vintage
seed catalog. The following site has
vintage seed catalog pictures you can
easily download and print out: www.
sil.si.edu/digitalcollections/SeedNurseryCatalogs.collection.cfm. Cut away
most of the excess white space, leaving
a little around the edges for labeling.
Place the image face down on the
table and fold the square into thirds
horizontally forming three panels. Fold
edges over one another and glue the top
flap to the bottom flap. You should now
have an envelope with two open ends.
Fold the corners in and bend the bottom
edge up and glue to the main body.
Fold the top edge in a similar manner
but remember to add seeds to the envelope BEFORE sealing!
Store your envelopes in a dry place
and you’ll be ready to start your seeds
next spring!
If you want to get kids even more involved, print out seed envelopes, let the
kids color and label and store them. A
good site to try is www.finegardening.
com and search “seed packets”. Or you
can check out or web site www.extension.iastate.edu/butler and follow the
directions we have put there.
To make sure seeds stay dry, you can
add a little silicon packet that comes in
shoes, purses, etc.
As our gardens close out their productive season, think and plan ahead to
gather and save seeds for next year!

Flint Hills supports rail safety efforts
Flint Hills Resources donated $5,000
to the Iowa chapter of Operation Lifesaver, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting railroad safety through
its educational programs.
“Railroads are an essential part of
the Iowa economy, which is why we
always need to make rail safety a priority and work together as a community
to ensure proper awareness,” said Todd
Benton, plant manager at the Flint Hills
Resources Menlo ethanol plant. “Operation lifesaver is a great champion
of rail safety throughout Iowa. We’re
pleased support their important work.”
Flint Hills Resources also helped Operation Lifesaver purchase a model ethanol plant to be used in rail safety demonstrations. The model ethanol plant is
part of a larger model rail system being
showcased at a number of events this
year including the See tracks? Think
train! that was displayed at the Iowa
State Fair. “We are so grateful for Flint Hills
Resources’ generous support,” said
Francis Edeker, state coordinator for
Iowa Operation Lifesaver. “Their financial contribution will help us keep
Iowa residents safe. We value these op-
portunities to partner with businesses
that share our same commitment to rail
safety.”
Flint Hills Resources, LLC, through
its subsidiaries, is a leading refining,
biofuels and grain processing company. Its subsidiaries market products such as
gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol, biodiesel, liquefied natural gas, olefins,
polymers and intermediate chemicals,
as well as base oils and asphalt. Flint Hills Resources operates ethanol plants in Arthur, Fairbank, Iowa
Falls, Menlo and Shell Rock, Iowa and
Fairmont, Neb. The plants have a com-
bined annual capacity of 650 million
gallons of ethanol. The company has
also made equity investments in bioenergy companies working to innovate
and optimize biofuel production.
Operation Lifesaver’s mission is
to end collisions, deaths and injuries
at highway-rail grade crossings and
along railroad rights of way. A national
network of trained volunteers provides free presentations on rail safety.

Autumn yard work gone ‘green’
Autumn marks the time to transition from the hot days of summer to
the chilly weather of winter. As people remove sweaters and long pants
from storage, cleaning up their yards
also may be on their minds.
Fall is a season of beautiful foliage,
but once that magical color show is
over, thousands of leaves have fallen to the ground, necessitating a few
weekends’ worth of yard work. Some
homeowners may be on the lookout
for environmentally friendly ways to
handle autumn yard work, and thankfully there are plenty of eco-friendly
ways to tackle such tasks.
Leaves
The tallest task with regard to fall
yard work is collecting the leaves that
fall to the ground. Some homeowners
prefer to wait until all of the leaves
have fallen before starting the collection process, while others handle the
task in stages to make it more manageable. Regardless of your timing,
skip the noisy gas- or electric-powered leaf blower in favor of a reliable
rake. Raking not only collects the
leaves but also helps men and women
burn calories while ensuring they are
not creating any noise or air pollution.
Invest in a durable, ergonomic
rake to get the job done quickly and
without injury. Innovators are constantly reinventing the rake, and now
there are designs that do not trap
leaves, saving homeowners from the
time-consuming tasks of cleaning the
rake’s teeth. Rake on a calm day so
the wind isn’t thwarting your efforts.
When it comes time to bag the
leaves, use biodegradable paper
bags or look for mesh-like bags that
are made from cornstarch. These are
more eco-friendly than plastic bags,
which can take much longer to decompose.
You won’t need to dispose of all the
leaves you collect. Shred some to use
as mulch, which can prevent soil erosion during the winter. Some leaves
can be added to compost piles or used
as a soil ammendment in planting
beds.
Compost
Autumn is an ideal time of year to
get started on building a compost bin.
Take advantage of the cooler temperatures to make outdoor work more
comfortable.
According to the Audubon Society,
American yards generate two tons of
clippings each year. A lot of that waste
ends up being bagged and thrown
away. Instead of producing waste,

Strategies for proper pruning
As the leaves fall off the trees
and greenery thins out for the
season, exposing branches and
undergrowth along the way,
homeowners may be tempted to
prune their trees and shrubs. But
while autumn pruning may seem
like a good idea, many gardening
experts say it is often best for
homeowners to wait until winter
or early spring before pruning.
Although pruning does thin out
branches and tame spent blooms,
which can be eyesores, pruning also stimulates new growth.
Pruning in the autumn, when
plants are naturally preparing
to go dormant, can weaken the
plants considerably. This can
compromise their chances of surviving into the next growing season.
Fall temperatures also can
be deceiving. While it may be
warm during the day when the
sun is shining, temperatures can
quickly drop overnight. Pruning
during the warmth of day, when
the sap has risen in the plants,
may deplete energy from the
plant. When the mercury drops at
night, the plant can suffer.
If you must spend time in the
yard in the fall, tend to the leaves
and debris that have already fallen to the ground rather than focusing energy on fall pruning. If
you have been diligent during the
spring and summer, your shrubs
and other plants likely won’t
need pruning at this time of year.
Wait until winter before taking
out the shears. At this point, the
woody parts of many plants are
dormant and will not be harmed
or primed to grow by the pruning.
Chances are you won’t prune too
much as well, as chilly temperatures will keep you from spending too much time outdoors.
When it’s time to prune, consider these other pointers.
* Keep tools clean and in good
working order. You risk injury if
your tools are dull and in poor
shape overall. Spend time sharpening pruners and keep manual
tools oiled and clean. Debris can
lodge itself in clippers, making it
more difficult to open and shut
them. Wash and dry tools after
use, especially when dealing
with diseased plants. Otherwise
you risk spreading disease to
Fall pruning can stimulate growth in plants preparing for winter
dormancy, threatening their ability to return next spring and
summer.
healthy plants.
* Cut back stems completely.
It’s usually a good idea to prune
branches back to the main stem.
Leaving a portion sticking out
can catch on people or animals
and produce a gathering spot for
bacteria and insects. Take out
thinner, smaller shoots first before moving on to any dead or
dying branches.
* Prune dry branches. Do not
prune when plants are wet. Pruning damp plants encourages the
growth of microbes that can infiltrate the plant. This is not as significant a problem in the winter,
when microbes have already been
killed.
* Ask an expert. If you are unsure of how and when to prune
particular plants, consult with an
expert at a nursery or wherever
you buy your plants. FH149522
Did you know?
Before saying “so long” to yard work at
the end of autumn, homeowners should
remove thatch from their lawns. Thatch is
dead grass that’s often identifiable by its
yellowish tint, and this dead grass, if left
to loom in the lawn over the winter, can
block air and moisture from making its
way into the soil. That can make it difficult
for a lawn to recover come the spring and
may even cost homeowners a substantial
amount of money to address when winter
finally skips town. When removing thatch,
resist the temptation to rake with lots
of physical force, as raking too hard can
harm the lawn. Instead, commit to three or
four easy passes with the rake, as this will
collect the thatch without damaging the
lawn. Many people rent a dethatcher from
a nearby lawn and garden supply store,
and such a device can make the process of
removing thatch much easier. However, be
sure to clean the machine before using it
on your lawn, as there is no way of telling what condition the previousrenter’s
lawn was in when he or she used the device. Failing to clean the dethatcher can
spread disease from a previous renter’s
lawn onto your own, and that can prove
another costly mistake come the spring
when your lawn is looking to rebound. If
seeding the lawn in early fall, which can be
a great time to reseed, remove the thatch
before laying down any new seed. If you
wait to remove thatch until after you have
laid down new seed, then the lawn likely
won’t benefit from the seed and you will
likely just rake the new seed away when it
comes time to remove thatch. FH149546
The cool, crisp days of autumn have
arrived. As fall foliage creates a colorful display and kids frolic in leaf piles
on the lawn, you may want to pay
some mind to a few lesser known facts
about this beloved time of year. Autumn may call to mind Halloween and
the return of school, but there are other
factors that make this season unique.
1. The first day of autumn is known
as the autumnal equinox. On this day,
the number of hours of daylight and
darkness are equal. This is because the
sun is aligned with the center of the
Earth between the north and south of
the planet. The other equinox occurs in
the spring, which arrives in the third
week of March in the Northern hemisphere.
2. In Greek mythology, autumn was
a time when Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, was abducted by Hades, the god-king of the underworld.
During this time, Demeter, the goddess
of the harvest, was distraught and the
ground grew sparse and cold. When
Persephone returned in the springtime,
plants and life bloomed anew because
of Demeter’s happiness.
3. Those who live closest to the
equator, which is the center of the
planet, never experience the season of
autumn. Around the equator, the temperature remains consistently warm.
4. Yellow, orange and variations
thereof always reside in the pigmentation of tree leaves, but they are
just overpowered by the abundance
of green from the chlorophyll in the
leaves. Come autumn, however, when
the sun weakens and days grow shorter, the amount of chlorophyll in leaves
diminishes, allowing the other pigments in the leaves to show through.
5. Red and purple leaves are actually
caused by the presence of sugars from
sap that is trapped inside of the leaves.
6. Fall is a peak migration time for
many species of birds. During autumn,
birds will fly to other areas as they seek
more hospitable climates. The Arctic
tern journeys about 11,000 miles each
way for its annual migration. That is
like going all the way across the United States about three and a half times
7. Contrary to popular belief, squirrels who have spent the entire autumn
collecting acorns and other foods do
not hibernate for the winter. Rather,
they spend the majority of their time
in nests they built to shelter them from
harsh weather. When squirrels do
come out in winter, they are usually
tunneling under the snow to find the
food they buried during the fall.
8. Several cultures have ancient
traditions that coincide with autumn.
For example, the Chinese celebrate
the Moon Festival to give thanks for a
successful summer harvest.
9. Halloween is a large part of autumn. The concept of wearing masks
and costumes hails from ancient Celtic tradition. The Celts believed ghosts
roamed on Halloween, and people
wore disguises to hide from the spirits.
10. You’re bound to see pumpkins
as part of autumn decor. The pumpkin
was first named by the Greeks. They
called this edible orange item “pepon,”
which means “large melon.”
11. Evergreen trees will not lose
their leaves like deciduous trees. Their
leaves, also called needles, are covered
with a thick wax. This wax protects
the inner components of the needles,
preventing them from freezing.
12. Autumn also signals another colorful spectacle apart from the
tree leaves. The aurora borealis, also
known as the Northern Lights, tends
to be visible this time of year. This is
because geomagnetic storms are about
twice as likely to occur during the
fall thanks to cool evening weather.

Clarksville sees ways to improve in home opener vs. Rockford
By Kristi Nixon
Clarksville’s Brittney Litterer hits against the Rockford block on Thursday, Aug. 28. The Indians
dropped a 3-0 loss to the Warriors at home. (Kristi Nixon photo)
CLARKSVILLE – Following the
first test of the season, Clarksville
head coach Heather Petersen has
a better picture of where her team
stands after a 3-0 loss to Rockford.
And, the fact that the
Warriors are a larger school, it gives
her reason to hope in the 11-25, 1925, 22-25 sweep.
“They are not bad, they are
a 2A school, and they are not bad,”
Petersen said. “We…I actually think
we played better than expected. We
came out right away with a good
block in the middle by McKenna
Lebeck, defensively, good digs.”
Lebeck,
along
with
sophomore
Makayla
Holub,
combined for five blocks against
a potent Rockford attack that
combined for 23 kills in the match.
The Indians fell into an
early 4-0 hole in the second game
and didn’t help their cause by
making six service errors.
“(The) second game, we
missed too many serves,” Petersen
said, “and we needed them – they
were crucial serves – and then we
had a couple of errors with no one
going after the ball in the back row,
things like that.”
By the time Clarksville
warmed up in the third game, the
Indians were playing well, running
out to a 3-1lead and keeping it
close throughout, rallying from a
10-6 deficit to lead 11-10 and, when
falling back by four, rallied again to
come within 16-15.
Despite two more fourpoint deficits, coach Petersen’s team
kept rallying.
“Overall, the third match
we played well,” Petersen said. “We
came together, there are still things
we need to work on, and that will
come from practice. It’s only the first
game, so we’ve got a whole season
ahead of us and a whole season to
work on the little things. It will come
around.”

Ross finished with nine assists and
Madison Blocker tallied a pair of
aces on 15-of-16 serving.
“The girls were a little
nervous for this first game, but it
really shows that they can play
together,” Petersen said. “They just
need to play the game all the time.”

Indians shake off cobwebs,
explode past Blue Devils, 58-30
By Pat Racette
Hot and bothered, Clarksville football
struggled in the early going of a home
opener against West Central Friday.
A couple Indian three-and-out and
the Blue Devils’ 6-foot-10, 250-pound
quarterback Ethan Steinbronns’ flinging sideline completions left the Indians trailing, 8-0, midway through the
first stanza. A frustrated Clarksville
squad was getting angry at one another
when the run game was stopped in its
tracks.
However, the momentum turned on
a dime when defensive back Trevor
Fenneman batted down one of Steinbronn’s heaves toward the sideline.
Getting the ball back after a punt,
Fennemann found a daylight on a
keeper, shifted toward the sideline, got
a block and cruised in to forget about
the early-going woes.
After the 37-yard TD, Fennemann
changed up his throw by lofting a pass
to a diving Carter Kelm in the corner of
the end zone to tie the game at 8-8.
Going into the second period, the Indians strung together four scores, two
off turnovers, for a decisive 32-8 advantage at the break.
Keying on Fennemann in the next of-
fensive series, Zach Sommerfeldt took
the rock 20 yards to set up a Fenneman
5-yard keeper. On the ensuing kickoff,
Zach Wefel stripped the ball on the return, and Kelm recovered it, leading to
a 37-yard gallop by Fenneman that mirrored his first score.
Suddenly trailing 20-8, the visitors
tried to slow the Indians, moving the
chains a couple times to the 20-yard
line of Clarksville. But, Kelm blitzed
Steinbronn and batted down the ball to
force a third-and-long. Then, Kelm and
Skyler Gilbert sacked the big man to
force a punt.
After a three-and-out, Fenneman intercepted a Steinbronn pass near his
end zone, before bringing it back to
midfield, 40 yards. A play or two later,
Sommerfelt made the turn around the
corner and down the sidelines for a 34yard score.
After going three-and-out, the visitors
recovered a fumble on the punt to start
on Clarksville’s 20. However, on thirdand-goal, Sommerfelt snagged a Steinbronn pass and brought it to midfield.
With time winding down in the
half, Dakota Garretson moved the
chains with a 28-yard grab on thirdand-long. A 20-yard gain on a catch-
and-run by Summerfelt left just over
10 ticks on the clock. On secondand-goal, Fennemann faked a pass
and went the other way to Gilbert for
a 5-yard score.
The second half was more Maroon,
as they tallied another four scores en
route to victory.
Next up the Indians (1-0) are
at Cedar Valley Christian (1-0) in
Cedar Rapids on Friday.

The Clarksville Indians kicked off
this year’s football season by defeating the West Central Blue Devils 5830 on Friday, August 29.
Head Coach Chris Arians felt that
the team played well for their first
game of the season.
Senior Trevor Fenneman and Junior Zach Sommerfelt attracted a lot
of attention on offense with a combined 404 yards of total offense in
the air and on the ground, as well as
an impressive seven touchdowns.
Sommerfelt felt rather good with
the way he and Fenneman played.
“I feel as I played very well myself. I made the athlete of the week,
so I must have done something right.
I also think Trevor stood out. He ran
when he was getting pressured and
he made the right reads he needed
to,” he stated.
Sommerfelt rushed for four touchdowns, and Fenneman followed
closely with three of his own.
With Fenneman as the quarterback,
Sommerfelt and Sophomore Dakota
Garretson were on the receiving end
of the ball.
Sommerfelt grabbed three catches
for a total of 38 yards, while Garretson caught one pass for a nice gain
of 27 yards.
On the other side of the ball, Senior
Carter Kelm led the defense with 11
total tackles, four solo and seven assists. Kelm also had one tackle for
loss and a sack assist.
Junior James Schellhorn also
shined on defense, tallying 11 total
tackles as well. He trailed Kelm with
two solo tackles and nine assists.
Fenneman and Sommerfelt also
excelled in interceptions. Fenneman
grabbed two, while Sommerfelt
shadowed with one.
With only one game down, the Indians do have some areas to improve
on, however.
“We had some mental errors that
we will need to improve on by the
time district play starts,” Arians
stated.
Arians also expressed that the
team needs to improve on gaining
extra points, as they made only four
points out of the potential 14.
All in all, the game was an exciting
start to the 2014 season.
The Indians will travel to Cedar
Valley Christian this Friday, September 5. They will play at Le Salle
Middle School.

Clarksville fell a little short during
their volleyball match against Rockford last Thursday night, August 28.
The volleyball team kept all three
of the matches close--11-25, 19-25,
and 22-25--and tried their best to
come back when they fell behind.
The gym was filled with energy as
the matches went on with the girls
cheering each other on as well as the
crowd.
“We did a good job of picking each
other up when we got down,” Senior
Kennedy Becker stated.
Though the players thought they
did some good things, they also
agreed that there’s still room for improvement as an individual and as a
team.
“We still need to improve on serve
receive and calling out the ball,” Senior McKenna Lebeck said.
Coach Heather Peterson agreed.
“The serve receive is what we really need to work on, whether we get
the it over in a hit or a pass, we just
need to work on ball control,” she
said.
The Indians are looking forward to
the rest of the year and are working
hard to improve as a team.
The team will next face Crestwood
and Riceville at a triangular on Tuesday, September 2.
JV Volleyball Goes
1-2 With Rockford
By Susie Dowden
The JV Clarksville volleyball team
lost two out of the three matches to
Rockford last Thursday, August 28.
Coach Heather Peterson said,
“Talking, knowing where you are on
the court, knowing where people are
and knowing more of understanding
the game of volleyball are the things
the team needs to improve on.”
Senior Mariah Wefel agreed with
Peterson.
“We need to improve on getting
off the net and talking more,” Wefel
said.
“I thought the other team was pretty average. There wasn’t anything
that was outstanding though.” Coach
Peterson remarked. “We just made
a lot of mistakes and we could’ve
done better. I think we could’ve beat
them.”
Freshman Mckenna Popham said,
“I did good overall but I missed a
couple blocks and got in people’s
ways.”
Peterson explained that in the first
game, there is always a lot of nervousness for the players, but she
would like to see some of her upperclassmen on the team step up and
help everyone out.
The Clarksville JV volleyball team
is ready to work hard and keep improving. They will next face Crestwood and Riceville at a triangular
on Tuesday, September 2, and then
travel to Central Springs for a tournament on Saturday, September 6.

The Way It Was
by Dave Clark
110 Years Ago
Summer, 1904
One Waverly saloon, via the rear
window, is said to have passed out 112
bottles of beer in twelve minutes on
the Fourth. The man who kept tab was
not able to state if this was the average
for the day. It cost the violator $50 and
frills. There must be a great margin of
profit when men will take the chances
they do in the non- observance of liquor laws.
John Heery has a new bubble wagon. It’s an Oldsmobile.
Six hundred “Hesitate Wagons”
have been registered with the secretary
of state. Someone will have to explain
to me where that name came from.
The patrons of the electric light
plant took their weekly swear Saturday evening. The cause is said to be
the result of too much amateur work
at the power house. I had to read this
several times before I decided that the
lights must have went off unexpectedly, which apparently happened often
in those days. Probably needed more
wood or coal in the fire box to keep
up the steam, I suppose that’s how it
worked.
Great strings of choice fish are being
caught these days, and the fishermen
are in seventh heaven or not less than
a story lower.
Two shelves, heavily loaded with tin
and graniteware, fell in Hesse’s store
Tuesday afternoon, doing considerable damage. Fred Hesse was underneath the falling shelves but escaped
with scarce a scratch. Two more examples of the editor’s clever writings. .
The Great Western is working about
thirty Italians at its gravel pit loading
cars by hand. It also has a train crew
engaged in hauling and distributing
the ballast along the track. As I have
often mentioned this gravel pit is now
“Sportsman’s Park”, but the thing
that’s hard to imagine that those cars
were being loaded by hand, I suppose
this means with a shovel and hard
work. I don’t know how long it was
REINTS from page 1
How about recess and outside time?
In the back is the old parking lot, 44-by-44 [foot].
We’re going to get a skid loader and clear it all out
and level it off. We’ll have some grass areas, pea
gravel soft spots and some playground equipment
so kids can run, play and have a lot of fun stuff to
do out there.
Was it a bit scary at first, with reality setting
in?
Yeah, each day I think reality sets in more and
more, as we [husband Tim and I] come in to check
the progress every night. I like to take pictures
every night and document the progress, and [I’m]
totally overwhelmed. I’m not really scared; it’s
just anxious excitement, uncertainty. I’m actually
not normally a person that goes and takes a risk,
but I’m very confident and excited about this. This
is what I love to do. I stepped away from it a little
bit, I missed it, and I knew I missed it. This is what
I want to do.

61 Years Ago
Fall, 1953
Recently Betty Bruns Whitney (CHS
class of 1957) donated a piece of history from her school days that certainly was part of “The Way it Was”
for Freshmen at the start of every
school year, not only at Clarksville but
in most high schools and colleges, an
embarrassing and aggravating day
(for Freshmen) known as “Freshmen
Initiation”. Of course this was all in
fun, but through time the antics sometimes went beyond fun and today this
old custom has mostly disappeared
from the start of the new school year’s
calendar each fall. At least you don’t
hear much about it any more.
The printed sheet that she gave us
was handed out to all the freshmen
the day before the event and listed the
rules of the day, in regards to them and
the mighty seniors. The following is a
list of the expectations for the frosh.
“You may wear anything you wish
during the day, but it must be worn
backwards.
At ten of nine all freshmen report to
the science room to get green tags to
wear.
When a senior yells “Timber”
fall down and recite the following
verse—“ Here I lie o’mighty senior
making myself look the sap which I
truly am.”
Neither girls nor boys can comb
their hair from the time they get up in
the morning until initiation is over in
the evening.
Girls cannot wear makeup.
Each freshman will have a senior
and will be responsible for his or her
senior’s books. Remember you have
only three minutes to carry your senior’s books to their class and then
report to your own.
After class pick up your senior’s
books and take them to next class.
After you are issued your green tags
you cannot take them off until after
imitation is over. That means you must
keep them on at home too. You never
know when a senior may check up.
The following freshmen do not have
special seniors; Marlene Fenneman,
Billy Rients, Barbara Rewerts, Marlys
Stille and Carol Jean Mayer. You will
be responsible for keeping your fellow
classmates way clear to and from class
as they carry books, and help in any
way you can to get them to class on
time.
Night:
All the boys will dress like girls. The
following girls will dress like boys or
men.
Betty Bruns, Bernadine Vance, Dixie
Brown, Elaine Vance, Linda Smith,
Marjorie Klunder, Donna Neimeyer,
Glenda Harris, Jo Ann Schmidt, Linda
Jenison, Donna Mae Fenneman and
Marlene Fenneman.
The following girls will dress in
nightgowns—wear jeans underneath.
Marlys Stille, Barbara Rewerts,
Marlys Shaffer, Carol Jean Mayer,
June Crowley, Sharon Crowley, Alice
Wefel, Sandra Bucholz, Verda Davis,
Deloris Rients Evelyn Fenneman and
Joyce Laube.
You’ll find out more about the fun
we have planned for you tomorrow.
See you then in the science room.”
I hope this brings back a memory
or two to some of kids listed here and
also to all of us who had to go through
similar things during our first days of
high school! I’m sure many have their
own version of this foolishness. I know
I do, but don’t remember it as a senior
at all.

Early Teal Hunting Information Sessions
verly Public Library, 1500 W Bremer
Avenue.
That September 6-21 season across
Iowa—provides hunters with earlier
dates to pursue the early migrants. “Blue-winged teal are an early migrating species and the peak of the
migration occurs before our regular
season opens,” explains DNR waterfowl technician Al Hancock. “The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service is allowing
production states—and Iowa is one of
them—the opportunity to participate in
an early teal season.”
The three year experiment hinges
on hunter ability to identify the erratic,
fast moving waterfowl. Only teal will
be legal during the 16 day September
season. During the special season, observation points will be active. Wildlife
officials will assess shots taken at non
target species. Hancock emphasizes
that if too many NON-teal are targeted,
the federal agency will eliminate the
season.
Nearly 5,000 licensed Iowa waterfowl hunters were surveyed last winter; with 69 percent replying that they
would hunt an early teal season.
The information session will include
video of September teal, showing how
to identify blue-winged and greenwinged teal. It will offer suggestions
for finding teal hot spots. Also at the
session will be tips on decoy spreads,
choke patterns and shot loads.
BOONE -- “They Gotta’ Have Cover”
is a new and catchy way to call attention to what farmers can do to bring
back pheasants and other grassland
birds.
Debuting at the Farm Progress Show
in Boone, Aug. 26-28, the video features three farmers rapping about
the cover types they’ve planted, then
nurtured to shelter and feed pheasant
throughout the year.
Once you hear the lyrics, you won’t
be able to forget them.
“They gotta’ have cover! Yes they do,
yes they do!” or
“Gotta’ have grass for the pheasants
to nest, 10 to 12 inches is what the hens
like best.”
It’s not as simple as planting a field
of brome or switch grass, and watching the birds fly. The DNR’s research
shows that managed farms with three
essential types of habitat produce more
birds than unmanaged farms — three
times as many.
What’s good for pheasant is good for
most grassland birds, from meadowlarks to quail; Henslowe sparrows to
bobolinks.
Since the 1960s, Iowa has lost half
the ideal land for grassland birds – land
in hay and small grains like oats – dropping from more than 7 million to 3.4
million acres. As a result, grassland
birds are in trouble.
“Gotta’ have Cover” gives farmers a
quick tutorial on how to bring the birds
back. The video is on the Iowa DNR’s
pheasant page at www.iowadnr.gov/

Stop by the DNR booth in Conservation Central, Lot 817, at the Farm
Progress Show and prepare to be entertained.

Duane Klipping created BONFIRE photography in 2013. Having
shot 30,000 frames in his surrounding region of Butler County, he is
promptly becoming known for his photographs of the area. His main
focal point is on wildlife and landscapes, but will capture anything his
inspired eye envisions would compose a great photo. BONFIRE stands
for – Beauty Of Nature Forever Inspires Revered Empathy.
“This is what I see when looking at the natural world surrounding
us. This is what I endeavor to capture in my shots. So many people
never slow down long enough to see the world we are all part of. To
see the creatures we share the planet with. To see the views that only
time can create. What I am doing is, capturing the world, freezing time,
unlocking those precious moments of natural beauty and sharing them
with the world,” Klipping said.
