Few objections raised at public hearing

Council votes to move ahead with bond renance
The Mount Ayr city council held a public hearing for comment on its proposal to renance the citys general obligation bonds, approved revisions to the Loch Ayr rules and regulations, awarded the contract for construction on the 2013 water system improvement project and discussed problems with water meters and rain runoff in its regular meeting Monday night. Public hearing As required by law, the council held a public hearing on the proposal to enter into a general obligation solid waste disposal refunding loan agreement for an amount not to exceed $850,000. The proceeds from the agreement would renance approximately $669,000 in current general obligation bonds and provide approximately $140,000 to cover startup costs for the citys garbage collection service. The new bond agreement would provide a lower interest rate and would shorten the term of the bonds by four years. According to Michael Hart from Northland Securities, the citys nancial advising rm and project underwriters, the city would save approximately $43,000 over the course of the bond agreement. Much of the discussion at the public hearing, however, still focused on the garbage collection service itself. Iona Triggs, who had appeared before the council previously to speak against the city taking over the garbage service, was rst to speak. Before, I said I was not in favor of this, she said. I think this is a business, and I dont think the city council has any reason at all to have anything to do with this kind of a business. Im very much against. Former city councilman Jim Feeback asked if anyone had researched the Iowa League of Municipalities guidelines for what a city is required to offer its residents and if a garbage service was one of those requirements. City superintendent Brent Wise said the guidelines in that area were not clearly spelled out. We have to have a refuse policy, he said. And they advised us to contact our landll, which we have done, and if there wasnt one [policy] ... the requirement is mandated by the state for us to create one. Feeback compared the requirement for a refuse collection service to the citys requirement to provide law enforcement. They [the city] are required under law to provide police protection, he said, but you can do it how you want to. A woman who identied herself for the ofcial record only as Patty asked a number of questions pertaining to the feasibility, operating cost, equipment and other facets of a city-run garbage collection service. It just doesnt seem to me that you have the right to go ahead and look into doing something before you notify the public, she said. City attorney Richard Wilson responded. If you have been following the minutes at all, he said, almost every meeting has had something about garbage pickup, recycling, and those were the kind of things Mr. Wise has spent an inordinate amount of time researching and trying to answer questions for different individuals at different meetings. Tim Newton rst questioned Wises qualications to provde the research for the project, but when directed by mayor Don Solliday to adhere to the topic of the public hearing, Newton began a series of questions about the costs related to renancing the bonds. Hart explained his rms fee of approximately $14,000 and other related fees would total approximately $23,000, but these fees were already included in the bond amount. After several more minutes of discussion between Newton, Hart and the council, Feeback interceded. I believe under the guidelines and the regulations of the duties of the mayor, the mayor has the opportunity and the obligation to tell how much time a person has to speak, he said. If Im here to discuss something, Ive got so much time and thats all that Ive got. At that point Solliday said he would give Newton ve more minutes to speak. Newton asked if the council had looked at any other companies to provide the bond service. He asked if they were negotiating or selling the bonds on a competitive basis and if they were taking competitive bids. Hart explained Northland Securities would act as underwriter for the project and would put the bonds out for a competitive bid. Newton claimed he had a better option for the bond renance. I made a couple of phone calls on this, he said, and not going through a broker we can get it done for $5,900 at a better interest rate rather than $23,000. City attorney Wilson replied only three law rms in the state of Iowa can actually put their name on the title that will sell a bond. If you cant have that name on that bond, he said, youre not going to have many people that want to bid on it because theyre putting their reputation on that particular indenture that it will be good. ____________________________

Elwood shared a copy of a proposed new bus policy. Both he and secondary principal Lynne Wallace said they feel this policy will help all involved parties (students, parents, bus drivers and administrators) to know exactly where a student stands in regards to bus transportation issues. Marci Bjustrom reports there are 90 students signed up for the summer SFL program that will run Monday through Thursday during the weeks of June 17 and June 24.

Hoseld in homecoming queen nals

Madison Hoseld, 2013 Iowas Homecoming Queen, will attend the 32nd annual Americas Homecoming Queen national nals in Memphis, TN on July 20-24. Hoseld is the daughter of Randy and Stephanie Hoseld of Mount Ayr. Hoseld, the 2012 Mount Ayr Community high school homecoming queen, was named Iowas Homecoming Queen at the state event held in March to qualify for the national event this is open only to high school homecoming queens. Im really excited and nervous to be representing my state, she said, but I look forward to the experience and the opportunity to meet tons of different girls from all over the country. According to material furnished by event organizers, The purpose of the organization is to promote education, educational travel and community service for all high school homecoming queens in all 50 states. All state nalists receive a scholarship with the amount being determined as to how the nalist places at the nationals. A very important purpose is or project to contact her. Hoseld does not consider the national event to be a stereotypical beauty contest. Denitely not, she said. Its more of an ambassadorship. Youre judged on how well you present yourself. At nationals, contestants will compete in personal interviews and prom gown competition only. There is no swimsuit or talent competition. According to Hester, the image of a homecoming queen has changed signicantly over the years. The competition will stress each contestants ability to communicate. The emphasis will be on interview, she explained. We feel that a girl could be very talented and very beautiful, but without being able to communicate properly, the other two would be lost. Hoseld said all national nalists will undergo a series of 10 one-on-one interviews with the ten judges. She said she was not sure of the topic or focus of the interview questions, a fact that only adds to her nervousness. Another requirement in the competition is the presentation

Madison Hoseld to guide and motivate these young women to participate in community service, wrote Peggy Lee Hester, executive director of Americas Homecoming Queen. Hoseld is currently seeking opportunities to volunteer her time helping with community events. She has already participated area Easter egg hunts and various fundraisers for the Mount Ayr aquatic center. This summer she is serving as a counselor at 4-H camp. She invites any group who has an event

of a one-minute speech on why the contestants home state is the best state. Hoseld said she is still pullling her ideas together for that event. Besides the crowning of the 2013 Americas Homecoming Queen, special recognition is given to the top ten nalists as well as top nishers in video, speech and public relations competitions. In addition, one contestant will be named Miss Congeniality. The national nalists also have the opportunity to appear on a oat in the Liberty Bowl parade on New Years Eve. An online aspect to the Americas Homecoming Queen competition is the naming of Americas Favorite Homecoming Queen. Hoseld explained this competition is open to all contestants who participated at the state level, including those who advanced to the national nals. In this competition supporters may vote online for their favorite contestant. Each vote costs $1 with proceeds going to the AHQ scholarship fund. More information can be found on the AHQ website.

Nearly 100 kids packed into the basement of the Mount Ayr library to enjoy a presentation by Maggie Brandenburg (center), a nature interpreter from the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines. Brandenburg talked about how animals are able to adapt to their environ-

A garage sale. It wasnt the reason that we went to visit our grandchildren for a few days last week. But thats what we ended up getting into. Eli has been playing baseball this summer in a coach-pitched league and we hadnt been able to get down to see a game. Finally we had the opportunity to match schedules, so thats why we went to Columbia, MO for the big Thursday game. When we got there, however, we found that Eli was in the midst of planning a garage sale. He has become a fan of the video game Minecraft, where you build mine shafts and create worlds, and he wanted to purchase the version for the familys computer. His parents said he could get the game if he saved the money. Voila, he came up with the idea of holding a garage sale to raise the funds. Now, in the past, he hasnt been too keen on the idea of getting rid of some of his toys and other possessions. He was the rst to complain when his mom suggested that there had to be toys, for example, among his many collections, that it was time to pass on. Growing up a bit, and the allure of the game he wanted, changed his tune about getting rid of things. He had spent hours going through the items in his room. The Winnie the Pooh and Cars Halloween costumes went in the pile. His Batman cave and action gures made the list. There was a moving r2d2 robot from Star Wars that could go. He and his sisters went through the games in the basement and came up with a half dozen or so that didnt get vetoed by one of the three grandkids. Eli got some of his friends in the neighborhood involved in the sale as well. They brought some of their no-longer treasures over too. Friday morning we pulled out tables and the kids began dragging out the items for the sale and setting them up. They made a garage sale sign, and despite the city ordinance against putting signs up offpremises, they put up a sign along Fairview Street pointing the way. The sign became a matter of interest as it kept falling over and bigger and better ways of getting it to work were thought up all day. At times the kids would stand and wave the sign trying to get more people to come. We talked them out of their marketing plan of going door-to-door in the neighborhood trying to get customers, but noted that it was a creative idea. The rest of the time the neighborhood kids played with the toys on the driveway while waiting for customers to arrive. Despite the sale being only a sale of kids toys and games, with a few items like a toddler bed and

the like thrown in for good measure, it did surprisingly well. Eli came within a few dollars of the $35 he needed for his game. His grandparents added enough to the pot to get it over the top. Millie sold a few dollars worth of her things as well, with her grandparents sweetening her pot too. And when it was all over, there were several boxes of things put in the back of the van to take to the Salvation Army to hopefully nd new homes with kids who would like them. For Erin, it was a win-win situation -- getting some of the clutter out of the grandkids rooms and playroom with the selection of items chosen to be passed on. We did get the ball game in too. The players all get a chance to rotate through the spots on the eld, so we got to watch Eli handle second base, shortstop, catcher and outeld during the contest. Each player gets one at-bat each inning as well. He struggled at the plate in the early going, but got a hit and advanced to second base before there was a problem. The next batter popped up the ball, and for what Peter said was only the third time this season, someone caught the ball in the air. The Astros baserunners hadnt dealt with that situation before and didnt know to go back to the base they left once the ball was caught. So Eli didnt get home this time, though he has scored in earlier games. It looked like the kids were having fun and Peter was one of the coaching assistants for the squad, so there was some good father-son time in the summer adventure. I took my camera and immortalized the game with shots of Eli in various parts of the game. I got his hit for posterity, and theres a great picture of him as catcher with his eyes closed as the ball bounces by after the opposing player swung and missed. Whether Eli becomes a great ball player or just a better fan because of the experience, is yet to be seen. He has a lot of promise as an entrepreneur, however, if his garage sale is any example. Fifty Years Ago (From the Mount Ayr RecordNews, Thursday, June 13, 1963.) Work is going along steadily at the new swimming pool, with all the major items on the pool now nished. Work remains yet to be done on the deck of the pool, some items in the lter house, completing the wiring and plumbing in the bath house and painting of the pool and bath house. Time of completion is purely speculative at this date, but they are hoping that the pool can be in operation by June 23. Bille Jean Rusk, a sophomore this fall in the Mount Ayr Community high school, is attending a baton twirling and cheerleading clinic being held this week at the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College in Kirksville. Miss Rusk received word Wednesday night of last week from Steffey Music Company, Inc., of Des Moines, that she was one of two Iowa girls selected to attend the clinic. Ringgold county will be privileged for the second consecutive summer to entertain an International Foreign Youth Exchangee, according to J. N. Chicken, county extension direction. She is Mubeccel Oral of Aydin, Turkey, who will be a guest of the Ralph Brammer family near Delphos from July 5-25. Last year Emil Mathay, IFYE from Luxemburg, was a guest for two weeks in the Roger Morrison home near Tingley. Loren Axtell of Mount Ayr was honored June 4 by personnel of the local ASC ofce for 10 years of service with the United States Department of Agriculture. Mr. Axtell, former bin site employee of the ofce, serves as bin site superintendent. A contract was awarded Monday by the town council to the Brower Construction Co. of Sioux City for resurfacing 13 1/2 blocks of West Madison Street, Dunning Avenue and Shellway Drive. Hank Smith of Mount Ayr won the feature event of the Jalopy races held Thursday night at the track located southwest of Mount Ayr on Highway 169. Winner of second place honors was Bill Hughes of Denver, MO and Lloyd Glendenning of Mount Ayr nished third. The Mount Ayr Community Junior Chamber of Comers, which was organized on April 23, will receive its charter tomorrow (Friday) night. Thirty-one 4-H leaders, local judges and county committee members received assistance Thursday on the art judging exhibits from Mrs. Harvey Fife of Carlisle in the library study rooms. Mrs. Fife, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Len R. Beath of this city, will judge exhibits at the Ringgold County Fair in August. Births reported at Ringgold County Hospital this week were a daughter, born June 9, to Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ferguson of Chariton and a son, born June 10, to Mr. and Mrs. Everett Stevens of Denver, MO. Obituaries found in this issue were Dora Abram Vaughn, David D. Dolecheck and Maurice Gene Aistrope. Twenty-ve Years Ago (From the Mount Ayr RecordNews, Thursday, June 23, 1988.) It was a hot time in the old town last Saturday as a whopping 192 players responded to the offerings of Croquemania IV held in West Mount Ayr. Ten courts were going full time to accommodate the 84-persons increase over last year. The extremely warm weather didnt seem to dampen spirits. Kyle Gibson was to be in Ringgold county Wednesday morning, June 22, at 8:45 a.m. interviewing

IDPH offers nicotine replacement patches, gum during June

During the month of June, the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) is offering four weeks of free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in the form of patches and gum to Iowa smokers who choose to make a quit attempt using Quitline Iowa. Quitline Iowa offers tobacco cessation coaching services over the telephone or the Internet, 24 hours a day. Data suggests the majority of smokers want to quit. We are excited to offer them extra support to increase the likelihood they quit successfully, said IDPH director, Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks. Smart, efcient budgeting is allowing us to provide this support for the rst time in years. Historically, Quitline Iowa has experienced large increases in call volume when free NRT is provided.Research has shown that quitting smoking at any age offers health benets. Quitline Iowa focuses on the individual, with the realization everyone is unique and their quit plan should be too. Research shows phone coaching is twice as effective as smokers trying to quit on their own. While Internet-based coaching is too new to thoroughly evaluate, IDPH Tobacco Use Prevention and Control Division Director Meghan OBrien says the preliminary data is promising. It is important to arm tobacco users who want to quit with all the tools we can, including Web options for those who may be uncomfortable with telephone coaching, added Miller-Meeks. Preliminary data shows Web-based coaching is attracting young smokers who want to quit. Most smokers make multiple quit attempts before successfully breaking their addiction to nicotine, so the younger they decide to quit using tobacco, the better. Current Iowa health care costs associated with tobacco exceed $1 billion. For more information about Quitline Iowa, visit www.quitlineiowa.org or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW.

Dance of the seven veils continues for farm bill

As the 2013 Farm Bill inches closer to passage, the House of Representatives has crafted its own version, one fraught with controversy. It has been endorsed by Speaker John Boehner, who hopes it can be passed and go on to conference with U.S. Senate versions, thereby nally achieving passage while 2013 still exists. Ron Nixon, writing The Caucus blog for The New York Times, quoted the speaker with saying, Im going to vote for the farm bill to make sure that the good work of the agriculture committee and whatever the oor might do to improve this bill gets to a conference so that we can get the kind of changes that people want in our nutrition programs and in our farm programs. Nixon said House efforts to push a bill have moved ahead re-

cently after several attempts to get a new bill died last year. The Senate version of the bill passed last year, and so did a House Ag Committee version, but the Republican leadership did not support it, calling for deeper cuts in programs and, of course, the SNAP or food stamp nutrition program, as well as

Kellerton planning holiday activities

The city of Kellerton has a full slate of activities planned for their July 4th celebration. All events are scheduled for Saturday, June 29.

Students attend rhythm concert

Cleareld PK-6 students recently attended an assembly entitled World of Rhythm. Two percussionists taught students about the importance of the steady beat provided by percussionists in the creation of great pieces of music. At the end of the assembly, each student played a percussion instrument in a collaborative song. A few days later students in grade three through six had seats near the front row for a percussion performance at the Civic Center in Des Moines.

The day will kick off with a parade at 1 p.m. followed by games and cake walk from 2-4 p.m. The kids pedal pull will start at 3 p.m. with a free-will donation supper scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at the community center. At 9 p.m. the Rumley Brothers will play at a street dance in front of the 2nd Home bar and grill. Admission to the dance is $5 with no minors allowed. The reworks will go off at 10 p.m. and biscuits and gravy will be served at midnight. The event is sponsored by the Kellerton Volunteer Fire Department and Southern Iowa Parks and Recreation.

school lunch programs. Nixon wrote that Boehner knew the House version would not be acceptable to the Senate, with its conservative-led $16 billion cut, but many conservatives called for even deeper cuts. The newest version of the House bill calls for cutting at least $20 billion from food stamps. Nixon wrote: a move that will almost certainly be rejected by the Senate. Boehner, Nixon wrote, said the cuts in the House bill were reform that both parties know are necessary. Indeed, the Senate also has made severe cuts in food stamp programs, but few Democrats support the House version, so it may have a tough time, even if it passes the House and goes to conferees. Interestingly, both versions eliminate direct payments to farmers and land owners regardless if they grow crops. Most are keyed to purchases of federal crop insurance, where taxpayers pick up about 62 percent of the premium cost, while no longer bearing the full burden of subsidies. Unfortunately, costly, but important conservation programs will not drive the crop insurance initiative. Boehners support for the House version signals that the GOP leadership wants to see a completed bill passed soon, but that they show little support for conservation, and certainly are not enamored with widespread help for the poor, especially children. Ill see ya!

Land management event will focus on re, grazing

The Conservation in Working Landscapes team will host a eld day on Saturday, June 29 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Kellerton Community Center. The event will focus on re and grazing as land management tools to improve forage production and wildlife habitat. If weather permits, participants will be given a tour of pastures managed with re and grazing as well as a recently burned property where re was used to control eastern red cedar and promote native prairie. The event is free and open to the public. A free lunch will be provided. For more details, contact Shannon Rusk at 641-344-9857 or rusk@iastate.edu. OFFICE SUPPLIES?

HOME HEALTHCARE

RINGGOLD COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING AGENCY SERVING RESIDENTS SINCE 1972

Homecare helps the doctor monitor your health after a change in condition. It can teach you or a family member what you need to know to maintain or improve your health. For Medicare coverage, the member must be homebound. This means that leaving the home is a taxing effort that is infrequent and primarily for medical care. If not eligible for Medicare, other funding options are Veterans Administra-tion, Medicaid, private insurance, private pay, or sliding fee. Services such as medication set-up or bath assistance can delay nursing home care.

Call 641-464-0691 for more information.

Mary Kathryn Gepner

June 17 - In his poem, Maud Muller, John Greenleaf Whittier utters this unforgettable line, For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, it might have been. Political assassinations have taken a terrible toll on this country and left us wondering what might have been. Historians can only speculate on how different the post Civil War era would have been had Lincoln, who spoke of binding our nations wounds and with malice toward none, not been murdered. Aides to President Kennedy claim that Kennedy had come to believe that Vietnam was becoming a hopeless quagmire and was planning to end Americas involvement in that conict. In 1968 Martin Luther King, Jr. was organizing a Poor Peoples March on Washington, D.C. to take place in the summer. His Rainbow Coalition would focus on poverty, not race, as a major civil rights issue. The March did take place but without Dr. Kings leadership it was not successful. And, in 1968, with the Vietnam War dividing the country, Robert Kennedy launched a campaign to win the Democrat nomination for the presidency on a platform of ending the war. It never happened because on June 5, 1968, following his victory in the California primary, Kennedy was gunned down by assassin Sirhan Sirhan. Analysts disagree on whether the charismatic and popular Kennedy could have wrested the nomination away from Hubert Humphrey, the party favorite. And there is no guarantee that he would have won the general election against the Republican nominee Richard Nixon. There is no way to know what direction the nation would have taken had these assassinations not taken place. We do know of one instance when the course of the nation was redirected following the murder of a president. In 1901 the assassination of the mild-mannered president McKinley brought the dynamic Theodore Roosevelt to the presidency. The amiable McKinley was content to sit back and leave things unchanged. Roosevelt was a game changer, in true Rough Rider fashion, charging head long into things that he believed needed to be changed. On the eve of the Spanish American War in 1898, Roosevelt was the assistant secretary of the Navy and eager for war with Spain. Frustrated by McKinleys lack of action, he charged that the President has the backbone of chocolate eclair. Roosevelts belief in a big navy and an American empire would change the course of the nation.

Activity Center

June 17 - Everyone is getting warmer here in the southwest part of Iowa and still getting plenty of rain but it looks like summer has arrived. The New Mexico motorcoach trip sponsored by the Senior Citizens Activity Center encountered a little glitch on their way home from New Mexico when their bus broke down. Fortunately the driver made a good call and pulled them into a very large truck stop/convenience store area that had a Subway and another smaller buffet restaurant. It is hard for 43 people to be cooped up for six hours while waiting for a different bus, but with that large of an area, lots of sitting space in the two eating areas, plenty of bathrooms and lots of shopping opportunities from costume and more expensive jewelry to t-shirts, Minnetonka shoes and many, many other items in a building at least as large as Shopko, they did just ne. Three different buses with three different drivers guided them on their way home and the bus arrived in Mount Ayr at 7:45 p.m. Sunday evening, a full 1.25 hours ahead of schedule. Joen and Janet learn something new on every trip and this one was certainly no exception. Sharon Hubbard, the Experience Works trainee at the Activity Center, was also on this bus trip as a learning experience and she got to see rst hand how those little problems are handled. Some new people were seen at the Center and entered into the games last week. Even with quite a few of the regulars on the bus trip, there were still 21 pitch players Wednesday. Janet and Sharon came back to the Activity Center to two printers which are refusing to work at this time. Their computers have been slowing down terribly and are Windows XP home computers so it may be time to try to see what they can do about replacing both the computers and the printers and getting one printer to work from both computers. Sharons computer at home refused to work the day before so she decided there must be a printer virus going around. Frustrating! Finishing up the New Mexico trip means that they are now seriously started on the Pigeon Forge and Smoky Mountain trip this coming October. With two full buses and a list of people on standby in case of cancellations for that trip, they are off and running. The Center does have signup lists if someone would like to contribute a baked item towards the Senior Activity Center for the nursing home/assisted living visits on the rst Monday of the month or if anyone has a little program they want to talk to the Clearview and MAHCC residents. They try to keep boughten cookies on hand for the regular activities but everyone always appreciates homemade cookies, cakes and all types of snack items also. Anyone is welcome to donate baked items at any time. Sunday, June 23, from 5 to 8 p.m. is the snack and game night so bring snacks if you want and come on in to play cards. Everyone has a great time.

School/News Sobotka making rounds of college football camps

Editors note: The following story about Mount Ayr senior Jake Sobotka was written by Bill Seals and appeared recently on the cyclonereport.com website (www.iowastate.rivals.com). It is reprinted here by permission. A southern Iowa rising senior athlete, who proles more as a linebacker at the next level, will try to pick up his rst BCS-level offer at a three-day Iowa State camp that starts today. Mount Ayrs Jacob Sobotka has probably had more contact with the Cyclones than any other program, but as is the case with Iowa, Kansas State, Northern Iowa and South Dakota State, have yet to pull the trigger on an offer. In order to pick up that elusive offer, Sobotka has hit the summer camp circuit. He was at Iowas last weekend, and will travel to a oneday session at Kansas State following his three-day stay in Ames. This is a big three days, said Sobotka, who was his high schools starting quarterback last fall. All of the camps Ive gone to have been big. Iowas was big and they were really impressed, but are a little slower than most other schools. Im condent coming into this camp that I can do well and recruiting coach for my area. He said Coach (Paul) Rhoads wants me to call him every Monday, so I hear a lot from Iowa State. I get a lot of stuff in the mail, including hand-written stuff which is pretty exciting. Ive also gotten a really good sense for the program. There are a lot of things I like about Iowa State. The coaches seem really interested in me. Ive talked to Coach Rhoads and Coach K said he asks about me all the time. I like where Iowa State is going. Every year under Coach Rhoads, it seems like something better happens. Theyre on an upward trend. I love the intensity around there. It appears the only thing left for Sobotka to do, is prove himself in a camp setting in front of I-State coaches. I think thats where Im at, Sobotka said. They said that if I go up there and play like I do and perform well, I might have a shot at an offer. If it doesnt happen now, theyll get more lm of me during my senior year and then maybe offer at that point. Ill be competing for an offer. Sobotka said hell be returning to Ames for ISUs Friday Night Lights camp later this summer.

Yard and Garden: Strawberries

Fresh strawberries, a favorite of almost everyone, are relatively easy to grow and hardy throughout Iowa. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach share cultural practices to reduce damage and losses caused by insects and diseases. Gardeners with additional questions may contact the ISU Hortline, hortline@iastate.edu or 515-294-3108. There are small masses of foamlike material on my strawberry plants. What are these foam-like masses? The foam-like masses on the strawberry plants were probably created by the meadow spittlebug. The meadow spittlebug is one of several species of this commonly recognized group of sap-feeding insects. Spittlebugs are familiar because of the frothy, wet mass of spittle that surrounds the nymphs as they feed on sap from their host plants. The spittle is produced by the immature stage of the insect (the nymph) and protects the nymphs from natural enemies and desiccation. While the foam-like masses of spittlebugs are rather disgusting, spittlebugs cause little harm to plants. Control efforts are usually not warranted. Some of the strawberries in my garden are covered with a gray, velvety growth. What is it and how can it be controlled? The gray, velvety growth on your berries may be gray mold. It is also known as Botrytis fruit rot. Gray mold is favored by poor air circulation and a high humidity in the strawberry planting. The most commonly infected berries are those touching the soil or other infected berries. Cultural practices can reduce losses due to gray mold. Do not fertilize June-bearing strawberries in spring. The application of a nitrogen-containing fertilizer in spring promotes lush, vegetative growth. Dense foliage slows the drying of the strawberry planting, resulting in a more favorable environment for gray mold. Control weeds in the strawberry bed. Weeds reduce air circulation and slow the drying of the strawberry plants. Mulch the planting with straw to keep the berries off the ground. Berries resting on damp or wet soil are more susceptible to gray mold.

Extension News & Notes

Judy Hensley
During dry weather, irrigate in the morning when using a sprinkler. Plants dry quickly when irrigated in the morning. Clean-pick the strawberry planting. Harvest the strawberry planting frequently. Pick berries as soon as they are ripe. Handle berries carefully during harvest to avoid bruising the fruit. Immediately refrigerate the unwashed berries. Berries that exhibit symptoms of gray mold should be picked and removed from the bed. Finally, fungicides are used by commercial strawberry growers to control gray mold. However, cultural practices are the best way to control Botrytis fruit rot in home gardens. When should strawberries be harvested? Harvest strawberries when the fruit are uniformly red (fully ripe). Pick the berries with the caps and stems attached to retain rmness and quality. Pinch off the stem about one-fourth inch above the cap. Dont pull them off. Strawberries should be picked about every other day in warm weather, every three to four days in cool weather. The harvest period for some June-bearing varieties may last three to four weeks. Strawberries can be stored in the refrigerator for up to ve to seven days. Optimum storage conditions are a temperature of 32 F and a relative humidity of 90 to 95 percent.

ISU conducting ethanol survey

Iowa State University is conducting a nationwide survey of livestock producers use of feedrelated coproducts from ethanol production. The feedback gained from the survey will be used to help improve coproduct quality, which can help livestock producers with their feed costs and livestock performance, said Kurt Rosentrater, a professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering, who is leading the effort. The survey is focused on the beef, dairy, swine and poultry sectors. It is being funded by a coalition consisting of the Renewable Fuels Association, the Distillers Grains Technology Council, and the Corn Utilization Councils from Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska. Livestock producers are invited to take the survey online until June 19 at: http://humansciences.ethanolcoproducts.sgizmo.com/s3/.

The ofcial beginning of summer also marks new opportunities for Iowans to connect with outdoor recreation: a new mobile state park application as well as a state-wide data base for Iowans to locate outdoor recreation activities. A mobile application for state parks developed through the Iowa Parks Foundation has been unveiled. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has also developed a program, Healthy and Happy Outdoors (H20) that allows Iowans to nd more than 30 types of outdoor activities at more than 1,600 state and county parks and recreation areas. In addition to its state-of-theart GPS technology, the Iowa State Parks & Recreation Guide provides plenty of other tools that make exploring the great outdoors a breeze. Visitors can decide which park to visit by using a comprehensive list of activities or by searching for a park within a particular region. The Calendar of Events is updated in real time and will inform app users of all the upcoming events for each Park. Park rules and regulations are a click away, which is especially helpful to anglers and sportsmen. Planning an extended visit to Iowas rolling hills, glistening lakes, or sprawling prairies is easy with a few quick clicks using the app to secure overnight reservations.

New app is released for Iowa outdoor recreation

The Iowa State Parks & Recreation Guide is designed to provide information to guide and enhance the outdoor experience, and to provide added safety and enjoyment for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts at all of Iowas treasured State Parks and Recreation Areas. The app is the perfect way for park goers to Map it, Discover and Explore Iowas State Parks and Recreation Areas. Healthy & Happy Outdoors, or H2O, is an initiative to connect Iowans with outdoor resources as a way to reduce stress and improve their health. Iowans can go online to www. iowadnr.gov/h2o to nd outdoor recreational opportunities in all 99 counties and create an account to log what activities they have done. Those who sign up are automatically entered into prize drawings for outdoor gear. The H2O website will continue to grow with tips, healthy links, additional activities and more. Iowans are encouraged to help improve the map by inputting their favorite park into the system. Mount Ayr Record-News

Rain continues to hamper spring planting

Rainfall continued to limit eld work during the week ending June 13, according to the most recent Iowa Crops and Weather Report from the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service Iowa eld ofce report. The statewide average precipitation was 1.38 inches while normal for the week is 1.19 inches. The statewide average temperature was 1.7 degrees above normal. Locally the Beaconseld station reported a high of 87 degrees and a low of 58 degrees. The average was 69 degrees which was one degree below normal. There was 2.07 inches of precipitation reported which was 1.07 inches above normal for the time period. The total amount of precipitation since April 1 is 18.82 inches. Topsoil moisture levels rated The Iowa Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds producers to submit their annual acreage report to their local FSA county ofce by July 15 to meet FSA program eligibility requirements. Producers must le their reports accurately and timely for all crops and land uses, including prevented and failed acreage, to ensure they receive the maximum FSA program benets possible, said John R. Whitaker, State Executive Director for the Iowa Farm Service Agency. A separate reporting date has been established for producers whose 2014 crops will include, perennial forages, fall wheat, and other fall seeded small grains. Beginning this fall through December 15, producers will need to report these crops, added Whitaker. Accurate acreage reports are necessary to determine and maintain eligibility for the Direct and Countercyclical Program (DCP), Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and programs extended from the 2008 Farm Bill, and Average Crop Revenue Election Program (ACRE). Acreage reports are considered timely led when completed by the applicable nal crop reporting deadline of July 15. Prevented acreage must be reported within 15 calendar days after the nal planting date. Failed acreage must be reported before the disposition of the crop. NAP crops that are harvested prior to July 15 must report by the earlier of July 15 or 15 calendar days before the onset of harvest or grazing. Producers should contact their county FSA ofce if they are uncertain about reporting zero percent very short, zero percent short, 54 percent adequate and 46 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated zero percent very short, two percent short, 60 percent adequate and 38 percent surplus. Corn planting was reported as 94 percent complete with 89 percent emerged. Soybean planting was reported as 77 percent complete with 56 percent emerged. Oat planting was reported as 36 percent reported as headed. Oats were rated ve percent poor, 26 percent fair, 57 percent good and 11 percent excellent. Pasture and range conditions rated one percent very poor, ve percent poor, 24 percent fair, 48 percent good and 22 percent excellent.

Acreage reports due July 15

deadlines. Reports led after the established deadline must meet certain requirements to be accepted and will be charged late fees. Fees are charged per farm number for each late led certication. Producers should visit their county FSA ofce to complete acreage reporting. For questions on this or any FSA program, including specic crop reporting deadlines and planting dates, producers should contact their county FSA ofce. More information on FSA programs is at: www.fsa.usda. gov.

Water summary for state released

The overall water situation in Iowa continues to improve. Ninety percent of the state is free of drought. Stream ows are moving toward normal levels, although the majority of streams are still in the above normal stage. Rainfall has eased and, as of June 11, it looks like the foreseeable future will bring more typical summer weather. For a more thorough review of Iowas water resource trends May 30 through June 12, go to www.iowadnr.gov/watersummaryupdate. The next Water Summary Update will be published July 11, 2013. The report is prepared by the technical staff from the Iowa DNR, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, and the US Geological Survey, in collaboration with the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division.

After Newton repeated his claim about nding a different rm, mayor Solliday told Newton his ve minutes were up. Iona Triggs asked to speak again at the conclusion of the public hearing. As I go to town on my street, theres three potholes that almost knock my tires out of alignment, she said. Once in a while I have to hit one of them. I think instead of going into the garbage business we should go into the street business and use this money to get these streets xed. Solliday responded that it was the goal of the city to make a prot on the garbage service that can go to improving the streets and other projects. After a couple more minutes of discussion, Solliday declared the public hearing closed. Following the public hearing the council approved a resolution to proceed with the steps to seek a renancing of the citys general obligation bonds. Hart said he would return to the next council meeting at which time the city would ofcially approve the issuance of the bonds. Loch Ayr rules The city approved the recommendations from a special committee formed to review rules and regulations concerning Loch Ayr. Councilman Mack Greene, a member of the committee, said only the wording of many rules were changed but the intent remained the same. The recommendations included adding a fourth waiting list for those who want a waterfront lot but accept an off-shore lot in the meantime. If the person subsequently takes a waterfront lot, they must relinquish their old lot. Other changes included items pertaining to cutting trees, transfer of ownership and the denition of a resident for placement on one of the waiting lists. Water system contract Sarah Campbell from MSA presented the bids received for the water system improvement project. The council approved the low bid from K. M. King, Inc. of Burlington for $437,034. Campbell said her rm had checked references and got good feedback on the qualications for the King company. Campbell added the low bid had come in under the MSA estimate of $442,000 for the project. Two other bids have been received. The C.L. Carroll company of Des Moines bid $454,040 while Synergy Contracting, LLC, of Bondurant had bid $689,510 for the project. Water meter problems Leslie Dredge Murphy appeared before the council to discuss a recent abnormally high water meter reading at her residence. She said she had received a bill for $550 for a recorded 22,700 gallons of usage. She reported in the months prior and in the months following the high usage month her bill had remained normal. She was offered the opportunity to send the meter in for a test, but the test could cost up to an additional $100. In addition, she said she had concerns about the validity of the water meter tests when previous tests of other meters had never identied a faulty meter. Citing the fact the council had received other reports of instances of abnormally high usage, they discussed creating a policy to address these issues. They said they would act on such a policy at the next council meeting.

Councilman Brent Ricker reported a water meter problem of his own. He explained when he had recently purchased a rental property he had been assured the property had no outstanding utility bills. He said after he had turned on the water to test and ush the system and to ll the water heater prior to renting out the home, he was notied of a 15,700 gallon meter reading at the property. According to city utility clerk Amanda Cannon, water to the residence had been turned off in November 2012, the nal bill had been paid and the meter was supposed to have been removed at that time. Ricker estimated he may have used 300 gallons during his testing of the systems, but he has no idea where the 15,700-gallon number came from. Again the council said they would address these overage issues at the next meeting. Jim Hullinger came before the council with a different type of water problem. In his case runoff from heavy rains are ooding his property, and he is concerned this longtime problem is damaging the foundation to his residence. Superintendent Wise said he had done some research on the problem and feels installing a new inlet on a nearby alleyway and installing larger tubing in the area will alleviate the problem. Superintendents report Superintendent Wise updated the council on a number of items in his department: A set of utilities located along Gareld Street were in the process of being moved and resurfacing work on the street is still scheduled to be completed before July 1. All garbage receptacles have arrived and the garbage truck will be delivered this week. Wise said he was in the process of creating a letter to city residents explaining the new service the city will provide. The city has been signed up to receive relief assistance from FEMA. Wise said he has not yet received information about what projects will be eligible to receive FEMA money. Wise reported all problems identied by the DNR at the old city water plant have been addressed. In addition he said he believes chemicals at the site would meet EPA standards so they can simply be treated as waste material and easily disposed of. Wise questioned the requirements for the city to mow state right-of-way land. He said he was uneasy with the city crew mowing steep banks. He asked the city council for their permission to take sealed bids for miscellaneous equipment that is either unused or nonfunctional. A crew is in town for the next couple weeks to cut trees on city property. He asked to be alerted to the location of problem trees to be included in the project. Transfer of funds The council approved city clerk Pam Poores request to transfer funds at the end of the scal year. These funds included $10,234.11 from the emergency fund to the general fund, $6000 for the general fund to the CDBG housing rehab fund and $40,000 from the Local Opton Sales Tax fund to the sewer fund. In addition series of transfers totaling $23,661.40 were moved from the hotel/motel tax fund to funds associated with the Judge Lewis Park projects fund. Other action

In other action the council: approved a CDBG housing payment request of $24,815 plus $3,000 in local funds set aside for the housing rehab project. Project #2 is located at 307 West Maple Street. approved Amanda Cannons request to accumulate comp time above the 80-hour limit set in the city handbook in preparation for her maternity leave. The handbook makes no specic reference to ma-

ternity leave. received a letter from HCI Care Services alerting the council to the increased trafc that is going around the square in the wrong direction. Mack Greene, who is the council liaison with the sheriffs department, will share the letter with law enforcement. received a check for $15,000 from Jeff and Amy Sickels as a donation to the aquatic center fund.

amount for heavy equipment work associated with the new bathhouse project at Judge Lewis Park. Counter Subscriptions for those who cant wait until Thursday to read the Mount Ayr Record-News. Save money too.

Sports Raiders post successful week

The Raiders won three against only one loss in action last week. Mount Ayr 4, Mormon Trail 3 Mount Ayr hosted the Mormon Trail Saints in a close game, Monday, June 10, with the Raiders squeezing out the win, 4-3. Mount Ayr jumped out to an early lead scoring two runs in the rst and second innings, but that proved to be the extent of the Raider offense. Relying on the solid pitching performance of Weston Schnoor and good defense, we were able to preserve the win, stated coach Tanner Rinehart. Mount Ayr held a 4-1 lead going into the seventh inning, when Mormon Trail struck back with a leadoff single and then got a walk. A elding error allowed the Saints to score two runs with no outs. Schnoor delivered a strikeout for the rst out of the inning, and the combined efforts of catcher Zane Sickels and Schnoor brought the Raiders closer to the win. In the dramatic play, a passed ball lured Mormon Trail into attempting to get the tying run home. Sickels tracked down the ball, ipped it back to Schnoor, Schnoor applied the tag, the run was denied and the Raiders had two outs. Schnoor followed with his eleventh strikeout of the game to seal the Raider victory. Offensively, Erik Freed led with a double, two stolen bases and one run scored; Heath Evans went 1-2 with a double; Jacob Taylor was 1-3 at the plate with a double, one stolen base and a run scored and Austin Quick was 1-3 with one RBI and one stolen base. On the mound, Weston Schnoor claimed the win as he allowed three runs on ve hits while giving up six walks and striking out ten batters. were able to get one run on the board. That inning also saw an unexpected change in the defensive lineup as freshman Nick Wurster was called off the bench to take over catching duties for injured Raider, Zane Sickels. Offensively Mount Ayr scored their seven runs on eight hits. Jacob Taylor led the way for the team going 2-3 with two runs while Wurster went 2-2 at the plate; Weston Schnoor was 2-4 with one run, and Jake Still and Erik Freed contributed one run each. Mount Ayr 5, Bedford 3 The Raiders outlasted the Bedford Bulldogs for a 5-3 win at home on Thursday, June 13. The win moves Mount Ayrs Pride of Iowa record to 4-2. The Bulldogs put two runs on the board in the rst inning, but the Raiders Heath Evans led off the scoring in the second inning with his solo home run, and Mount Ayr closed the inning leading, 3-2. It was a defensive game for the next four innings as both teams failed to score until Bedford took advantage of a Raider error in the top of the sixth to tie the game at 3-3. Answering with two runs in the bottom of the sixth, Mount Ayr nudged the score to 5-3 and held it through the seventh as the game ened on a 5-5-3 double play by Levi Jarred to Austin Quick. Heath Evans earned the win on the mound as he gave up three runs with one earned off nine hits, two walks and ve strikeouts. Offensively, Austin Quick went 3-4 with one RBI, Jake Still was 2-3 with a double and Jacob Taylor, Zane Sickels and Erik Freed all had one hit each.

Mercedez Birkenholz started the game and allowed two hits and four walks while striking out one through one inning. Alex Booth came on in relief, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out two. We gave up four runs in the rst inning and our heads werent in it, said coach Braby.

Coffee With The Girls

News from Cleareld Linda Bell

June 17 - There has been some work done at the museum this week -- windows washed, walls wiped down and also some painting. Lance Leonard got his part done which the grant was for. So next is getting it ready to put stuff in it. The main room has very dark paneling on it, so they painted it white to lighten it up in there. The museum will be open on the Fourth of July so people can look it over. There wont be very much in it yet but they can see what it is like in there. The carpet is to be cleaned this Wednesday and hopefully that will take a lot of the musty smell out. Linda Bell is a hoarder of old stuff so, when she gets all of it out of her house, it will be pretty empty. The Methodist church had their Bible school. It was a one-day, allday event. It seems like they are all so busy. It gets shorter every year. At the coffee table most of the grandmas are busy going to ball games of their grandkids. Not much else is going on in their lives, just watching it rain and mowing lawns. They got another three inches this week and everything is pretty wet. Gerald Baker passed away Friday. His funeral will be Thursday at the Christian church. He will be missed at the nursing home. Al Rusk got the work schedules sent out this week for the Fourth of July, three weeks away. He is sure doing a great job as chairman this year. There are some new things going. Closing this week with Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable. From the coffee table, Linda B.
