“Not really,” says Bernita St. John Wiebke, illustra-tor. “You’ll get it done.” “In the big picture, that stuff doesn’t matter,” says Allan. St. John Wiebke thinks her sister’s hit a home run with this one. “I really feel this is going to be our breakthrough because of the color [and] the story – Take the Time,” she said. “And we all need to hear that. It’s a very important lesson. I have a very strong feeling on this story.” The series is based on growing up with their parents, Roy and Toni, on a farm in rural Allison, where Allan has lived for decades. She says her parents took the time for anybody – cousins and second cousins. “When my mom and dad lived here, it was a swing-ing door,” says Allan. “She [Toni] had seven kids, and she still would buy the extra food and we’d have a

Delores Allan sends message to children and parents to make an effort to slow down

Pat [email protected]

Take the time to listen Take the time to see Take the time to talk Take the time for me Allison author Delores Allan sends a strong mes-sage in her latest children’s book, Take the Time, re-leased in June. As eighth book published in the series of Magi-cal Moments with Roy and Toni, the 16 pages are as much for parents as kids. “To me, that’s so important [taking the time],” Allan says. “I’ll let something else go, it doesn’t matter to me.

Christine Moad, 22, of Allison, released her second solo extended play musical recording in May , called Dichotomy. Named Miss Christine, four songs are featured, including Perfect, Epiphany, Di-chotomy and Awkward Situation. Moad began making the EP in March 2013, before marking the end of her college career at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass., known primarily as the world’s foremost institute for the study of jazz and modern American music. She released her fi rst EP, Monkey-ing Around, in 2012. Here is a question-and-interview with Moad, who just moved to Nashville, Tenn., two weeks ago to begin her music career. Why did you make this EP? Since my fi rst EP, Monkeying Around, I’ve grown up and experi-enced a lot having lived in Boston [Mass.] for four years. And before I left Boston, I wanted to record soemthing with musicians and the

I had two days to get people together, and so the couples in the music video are only one in real life, as I told my friends they would have fake girlfriends. But I’m really happy with it, and I like the idea of it. I’ve never seen a music video

MISS CHRISTINE from page 1 full-time as a self-employed musi-cian. 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 Springfi eld, Ill. I’ve been able to fi nd work pretty quickly down here. Who are your musical infl uences? Band-wise, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Marvin Gaye infl uence me. Basi-cally, 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 play-ers are Paul McCartney and James Ja-merson. What does the future hold? I’m playing tonight [Monday] at this thing called Whiskey Jam, and then Wednesday at a mansion in East Nash-ville, 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 min-utes 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 fol-lowing. 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 play-ing 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 fi rst 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 fi rst 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 oth-er people pursue their dreams as well.

BOONE -- “They Gotta’ Have Cov-er” 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 plant-ed, 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 pheas-ants to nest, 10 to 12 inches is what the hens like best.” It’s not as simple as planting a fi eld of brome or switch grass, and watching the birds fl y. 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 mead-owlarks to quail; Henslowe spar-rows 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 mil-lion 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.iow-adnr.gov/pheasants. Stop by the DNR booth in Conser-vation Central, Lot 817, at the Farm Progress Show and prepare to be en-tertained. While you’re there, check out “Farmer Feud,” hot topic speak-ers, nine cover crop plots, the Soil Health trailer and booths at all 12 conservation partners. More in-formation is available at www.iowadnr.gov or www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal /nrcs/detai l / ia /home/?cid=STELPRDB1258112.

Home Countryby Slim Randleswww.slimrandles.com

It comes to us slowly and delicate-ly, 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 au-tumn. Summer is heat and work and sweat and cold drinks of water and swimming and barbecues. But au-tumn 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 stifl ing sum-mer 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 fi nest, 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 pin-nacle 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 fi shing, or just discover a new hobby there at the house that will keep hands and mind busy dur-ing the cold to come. The children are off to school, pre-paring themselves so someday their autumns will be like this, sweet with fulfi llment, 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.

Waverly Health Center (WHC) has achieved Magnet® recognition as a re-flection 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 rigor-ous 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 or-ganizations. “Magnet recognition provides our community with the ultimate bench-mark to measure the quality of patient care,” said Joanne Nathem, MSN, RN, WHC chief clinical and nursing officer. “Achieving Magnet recognition rein-forces 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 provid-ing 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 organiza-tions. In fact, U.S. News & World Re-port’s annual showcase of “America’s Best Hospitals” includes Magnet rec-ognition in its ranking criteria for qual-ity of inpatient care. To achieve Magnet recognition, or-ganizations must pass a rigorous and lengthy process that demands wide-spread participation from leadership and staff. The process begins with the submission of an electronic application, followed by written documentation demonstrating qualitative and quantita-tive 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 de-signed to provide a framework for nurs-ing practice, research, and measurement of outcomes. Through this framework, ANCC can assess applicants across a number of components and dimen-sions to gauge an organization’s nurs-ing 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 informa-tion; • 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. Waverly Health Center (WHC) is a 25-bed community hospital located in Waverly, Iowa. WHC provides in-patient care, ambulatory surgery, out-patient services, specialty clinics, and emergency room care to people liv-ing in and around Bremer, Butler and Chickasaw Counties. WHC’s mission is to provide high quality, patient-cen-tered health care.

Iowa Receives $3 Million For Habitat And Hunter Access Program Landowners and hunters will benefit from a recent announcement that Iowa will receive $3 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to expand the Iowa Habitat and Access Program (IHAP). The announcement came from U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-sack 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 habi-tat. 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 improve-ment opportunities,” said Smith. “This grant will more than triple the number of acres enrolled in the program.” The DNR launched the Iowa Habi-tat and Access Program in 2011. Since then, more than 8,000 acres at 50 loca-tions have received habitat improve-ments and provided new hunting op-portunities. “We have surveyed participating landowners and they have shown high satisfaction with the program,” said Smith. “Landowners say they’ve had

very few concerns with hunters on their land, and would recommend other landowners participate.” 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 pub-lic 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 Conserva-tion Service (NRCS) to expand or im-prove habitat in existing public access programs or provide incentives to im-prove habitat on land already enrolled in their public access programs. If landowners are interested in partic-ipating, they should contact their local DNR private lands biologist.

Proceedings: AllisonCity of Allison Council Meeting

Monday, August 25, 2014Public Hearing:

The Allison City Council held a public hear-ing on Monday, August 25, 2014 on the matter of a Loan Agreement and the issuance of not to exceed $125,000 General Obligation Capi-tal Loan Notes, Series 2014B. Mayor Henrichs opened the public hearing at 5:15 P.M. Council members present: Blockhus, Cramer, Davis, Henrichs, Platter. Others present: Sue Heeren and daughter Natalie, Brenda Heuer, Jamie Os-terbuhr, Beth Endelman, Rod Ballhagen, Monty Allan, Don Scroggin, Allan Brockway, Pat Rac-ette-Butler County Tribune, Michael Hart-City Financial Advisor, Lee Gallentine-City Engi-neer, Brian Schoon-INRCOG repre-sentative. The mayor asked for comments for or against the Loan Agreement not to exceed $125,000 General Obligation Loan Notes, Series 2014B. No comments were presented. Motion by Cra-mer and Second by Henrichs to close the public hearing. Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion Carried. Regular Meeting: The Allison city Council met in regular ses-sion on Monday August 25, 2014. Mayor Hen-richs opened the meeting at 5:20 P.M. Council members present: Blockhus, Cramer, Davis, Henrichs, Platter. Others present: Sue Heeren and daughter Natalie, Brenda Heuer, Jamie Os-terbuhr, Beth Endelman, Rod Ballhagen, Monty Allan, Don Scroggin, Allan Brockway, Pat Rac-ette-Butler County Tribune, Michael Hart-City Financial Advisor, Lee Gallentine-City Engineer, Brian Schoon-INRCOG repre-sentative. Motion by Davis and Second by Blockhus to approve the agenda. Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion Car-ried. Open Forum: Monte Allan and Rod Ballhagen were pre-sent at the meeting representing Allan, Inc. At the present time they are using approximately 1,000,000 gallons of water per month cooling their air compressor. They are considering in-stalling a self contained cooling system to elim-inate this high water usage. By doing so this water would be recirculated and there would be less water going into our lagoon system which could possibly help the city not to have to install another lagoon. The Mayor asked them to keep us informed on this pro-ject. Consent Agenda: It was moved by Henrichs and Seconded by Cramer to approve the consent agenda. In-cluded in the consent agenda: 1. Approve minutes from the meeting on 8/11/2014. 2. Approve Building Permit Change for Mer-le Hoodjer – 114 S. Main – Change room size from 12 X 16 to 14 X 16 and adding a wood patio onto the back of the home Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion carried. New Business: Unity Point Clinic has requested that the City do some maintenance work on the medical building such as painting the front door, caulk-ing around windows and doors and repairing the employee entrance door. They will be do-ing some interior remodeling but that will be at their expense. The Council asked to have Uni-ty Point Clinic present a current contract with them. A newly formed Allison Pool Committee which consists of Beth Endelman, Sue Heeren, Bren-da Heuer and Jamie Osterbuhr and Council members, Janis Cramer and Ron Davis, were present at the meeting to discuss the current condition of the pool and some needed updates are: •Epoxytocovercracksinthepooldeck •Painting&treatingofbathhousesflooring&walls •Divingboardneedstobereplaced •Fixbrokentiles •Extenddeckatthebabypoolformoreroomand shade The pool committee asked City Council if some cleaning could be started now and the Council agreed to let them do that. The Pool Committee will be meeting on a regular basis. Theywillbeworkingonstaffingthepoolfornext

summer. They are also doing research on what other surrounding communities are pay-ing their staff. They will keep the Council up-dated ontheirfindings. Mayor Henrichs presented Council with a quote from Iowa Garage Floors to epoxy the pool deck, bath house floors and the hallwayin the pool house. The total quote presented was for $19,000. The Council is checking out this type of epoxy coating to see if they think it would work for the pool. Don Scroggin was present at the meeting re-questingthatcurb&gutterbeplacedinfrontofhis home at 109 Pfaltzgraff. His home was built in 2007 and curb and gutter was never installed on his property.

Second by Platter. Ayes: All. Nays: None. Motion Carried. Old Business: Michael Hart, City Financial Advisor, passed out information on a sewer rate study he com-pleted for the City so decisions can be made on how to proceed financially with theneeded repairs and updates for the sanitary sewer system. After much discussion, Blockhus made a motion to approve Scenario B and go forward with sewer relining as a tentative plan. Second by Platter. Ayes: All. Nays: None. Mo-tion carried. This Scenario would be the main-tenance that is needed on the system, some modificationsthatareDNRrequiredandfinishthe sewer relining in the City. This would be spending approximately $3,850,000 for the total project. All of this information is required to send along with the CDBG Grant Applica-tion that will be applied for in November.

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 stor-ing 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 col-oring packets and labeling them with the type of seed inside.

You can even make your own seed envelope using an image from a vin-tage 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 man-ner 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.fin-egardening.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 pro-ductive season, think and plan ahead to gather and save seeds for next year!

By Richard Jauron, Horticultureand Greg WallaceIowa State UniversityExtension 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 ad-ditional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or [email protected] 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. (Ev-ergreens planted in late October or November may not have adequate time to become established before the onset of winter and could be sub-ject 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 fre-quency 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 excel-lent 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. Mulch-

ing helps prevent repeated freezing and thawing of the soil that may heave plants out of the ground. Dry-ing 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 spring-flowering bulbs. Plant bulbs in groups or clusters to achieve maxi-mum 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. Rad-ishes can be planted from mid-Au-gust 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 win-ter 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 SuccessChildren must learn to read before

they can read to learn. Parents, fami-lies and friends can help them on their way to reading independently, says Cindy Thompson, human sci-ences specialist in family life with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

Reading is an important skill for children for many reasons, especial-ly 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 them-selves,” Thompson said.

There are many things parents, grandparents, siblings or family friends can do to help children learn to read independently. Reading to ba-bies helps them attend to language, learn new words and understand the structure of language. Reading sto-ries to preschoolers helps them work

on meaning and language develop-ment. Older preschoolers are mov-ing 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 vo-cabulary will do better in school, Thompson said.

“As children get older they need someone to read with them and be-come a reading partner. Reading then becomes a shared experience with both of you participating. It is easy to do and may be more enjoy-able 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 open-ended 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 let-ters 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 pas-sage 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 avail-able 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.

Worksheet Helps Producers Identify Selections for 2014 Farm BillBy Ann JohannsDepartment of EconomicsIowa State UniversityExtension 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.

Alejandro Plastina, an extension 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.

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are for-matted as a 9x9 grid, bro-ken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each row, col-umn and box. Each num-ber can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can fi gure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Insurance Companies Legally Rip-Off Iowa

Injured Workers By . . .

Yes, insurance companies can legally pay you less that what you are owed and do not have to tell you the truth. Many injured workers fail to learn the Injured Workers Bill

of Rights which includes: 1. Payment of Mileage at $.56 per mile 2. Money for Permanent Disability 3. 2nd Medical Opinion in Admitted Claims. . . . A New Book reveals your other rights and much more so you do not get ripped-off. Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker offers his book at no cost because since 1997, he has seen far too many hard working Iowans who did not know their rights treated badly by insurance companies. If you or a loved one have been hurt at work and do not have an attorney claim your copy (while supplies last). Call Now (800)-707-2552, ext. 311 (24 Hour Recording) or go to www.IowaWorkInjury.com. Our Guarantee- If you do not learn at least one thing from our book call us and we will donate $1,000 to your charity of choice.

12 fun facts about autumn The cool, crisp days of autumn have arrived. As fall foliage creates a color-ful 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. Au-tumn may call to mind Halloween and the return of school, but there are other factors that make this season unique. 1. The fi rst 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 hemi-sphere. 2. In Greek mythology, autumn was a time when Persephone, the daugh-ter of Demeter, was abducted by Ha-des, 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 tem-perature remains consistently warm. 4. Yellow, orange and variations thereof always reside in the pigmen-tation 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 short-er, the amount of chlorophyll in leaves diminishes, allowing the other pig-ments 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 fl y 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 Unit-ed States about three and a half times 7. Contrary to popular belief, squir-rels 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 fi nd 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 au-tumn. The concept of wearing masks and costumes hails from ancient Celt-ic 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 fi rst 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 anoth-er 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. TF149538

Autumn marks the time to transi-tion from the hot days of summer to the chilly weather of winter. As peo-ple 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 fall-en 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 thank-fully 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 collec-tion process, while others handle the task in stages to make it more man-ageable. Regardless of your timing, skip the noisy gas- or electric-pow-ered 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 con-stantly 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 de-compose. You won’t need to dispose of all the leaves you collect. Shred some to use as mulch, which can prevent soil ero-sion 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 tem-peratures 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, compost leaves and grass trimmings

Skip the leaf blower and pick up a rake for eco-friendly leaf cleanup.

Autumn yard work gone ‘green’

to use as valuable fertilizer come the spring planting season. When choosing a location for your compost bins, be sure to place them a good distance away from the house but near enough to garden beds. Most yard waste and food debris can be added to the compost pile. Just avoid animal products, which can produce harmful bacteria. Keep the compost damp and turn it

periodically to facilitate the decom-position process. Soak fi nished com-post in water to create “compost tea.” This liquid mixture can be sprayed on lawns in the fall to give the yard a nutrient boost that promotes healthy regrowth when the warmer weather returns. Eco-friendly lawn care can save energy, money and natural resources. TF149545

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, prun-ing 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 sur-viving into the next growing sea-son. 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 fall-en to the ground rather than fo-cusing 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 tempera-tures will keep you from spend-ing too much time outdoors. When it’s time to prune, con-sider 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 sharp-ening pruners and keep manual tools oiled and clean. Debris can lodge itself in clippers, making it more diffi cult 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.

Strategies for proper pruning

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 fi rst be-fore moving on to any dead or dying branches. * Prune dry branches. Do not

prune when plants are wet. Prun-ing damp plants encourages the growth of microbes that can infi l-trate the plant. This is not as sig-nifi cant a problem in the winter, when microbes have already been killed. * Ask an expert. If you are un-sure 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 identifi able 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 diffi cult for a lawn to recover come the spring and may even cost homeowners a substantial amount of money to address when winter fi nally 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 tell-ing what condition the previousrenter’s lawn was in when he or she used the de-vice. 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 benefi t from the seed and you will likely just rake the new seed away when it comes time to remove thatch.

CLARION – North Butler’s volley-ball team rattled off four wins at the Clarion-Goldfield tournament before dropping the final match to the host school. Coach Bryan Tabbert’s squad defeat-ed Clear Lake in three, 21-15, 18-21, 17-15, and took two-game sets against Northeast Hamilton (21-8, 21-12), Ea-gle Grove (21-7, 21-17) and CAL (21-11, 21-17) while falling to the Cowgirls 10-21, 12-21. “We had some concerns about com-ing in cold versus Clear Lake,” Tab-bert said, “but the girls started strong. We kept the intensity up throughout the entire match, especially during the third set. The girls were down 12-14 in the final set but stayed calm and positive and battled back to seal the match.

“The hard-fought victory against Clear Lake gave the girls some positive momentum for the rest of the day.” Kayla Siemens led the way offen-sively for the five-match swing with 28 kills, adding 33-of-36 serving with nine aces. Jenny Rottler added 11 and also was 33-of-33 serving with three aces. Defensively, Haley Landers tallied 10 digs and five total blocks. Katelyn Shultz distributed 36 assists throughout the day. “In some of our sets we were able to open up comfortable leads, allowing the girls to feel more at ease attempting aggressive serves and attacks,” Tabbert said. “Against Northeast Hamilton, we had 11 aces as a team, while we had eight versus Eagle Grove. “Against CAL we had success vary-

ing our attacks, as seven girls had at least one kill.” It was against Clarion that North But-ler hit a wall. “Clarion-Goldfield-Dows was a tall, athletic team that featured a well-bal-anced attack,” Tabbert said. “We had a couple of bad rallies in both sets that put us into a hole. Despite the loss, we had some positives during the match. “The team was perfect serving against Clarion; Kayla Siemens had seven kills, including a few nice tools against the block. Taylor Graven and Haley Land-ers teamed up for some big blocks.” The Bearcats (4-1) travel to Corn Bowl Conference rival West Fork on Thursday, Sept. 11 for their next action.

By Kristi NixonGREENE – One glance at the

scoreboard, even before the game started, was all the motivation West Fork first-year head coach Eric Gabe needed.

A 2001 Greene High School graduate who played under legendary coach Dave Sturm, he couldn’t help but notice the newly dedicated scoreboard that bears his former coach’s name.

And he took what he learned under Sturm’s direction to coach the Warhawks to a season-opening non-district win over his former school, 7-0, on Friday, Aug. 29.

“It’s just really special,” Gabe said. “I look over at that scoreboard and I looked at 7-0 and I’m pretty hard on myself; I think I could have called a better game and could have run some things better.

“It’s the first offensive game I’ve called in 11 years. I’ve been a defensive guy the whole time, but I look at that scoreboard and that name at the top says Dave Sturm Memorial Field and that was my head football coach and he is kind of the reason I do what I do and try to pay that forward, so it was kind of emotional.”

Both teams gave an effort of which coach Sturm would have been proud of.

“It kind of just hit me that he passed away last year and I just kind of wish that he would have been able to be here to see this,” Gabe said. “I’m sure he’s watching a little bit here, but it’s just a proud moment for me to be able to be on this field and walk away with a victory because that is the way I walked away as a senior.

“It’s a great feeling, and North Butler, tip our hats to them, they played extremely hard and it was a well-fought game on both sides and we just happened to catch a break and kids played hard.”

The Bearcats actually out-gained West Fork on the ground, but couldn’t convert when it mattered, finishing with four turnovers, two fumbles and two interceptions.

“Overall, we played a good football game,” North Butler coach Mark Rusch said. “A 7-0 football game is going to come down to little plays. We moved the ball on offense up and down the field, we just didn’t get it in when we got to the red zone area and third and fourth down plays where when we didn’t convert.”

Case in point, three times North Butler had the ball in the red zone and all three times the Bearcats turned the ball over, once on downs.

“Defensively, I’ve been blessed to have some very good people in my life who have helped me out defensively,” Gabe said. “I wish I could take all the credit for that, but from the guys in Mason City some guys we’ve worked with as far as scheme-wise, I’ve just been blessed and benefited from that. Defense comes first, special teams I think we did a nice job on special teams other than one kick-off.”

But it wasn’t the turnovers that led to the game’s only score. It was big plays.

Collin Arndt had a pair of back-to-back big pass plays that set up a six-yard touchdown run by Tyson Pillard, who finished the game with 123 yards rushing on 18 carries.

The touchdown drive spanned 11 plays and 69 yards.

“Absolutely, going into this season we thought Tyson was going to have a great year,” Gabe said. “He’s been a hammer for us, a really good leader. Just a great kid, works hard, just always coming after you. We use the word relentless a lot in our program and he’s the picture of relentless. Very blessed to have him as a leader, a great person and we’ll also take him as a football player. too.”

Greene grad directs West Fork to opening win over North Butler

But it was far from perfect for either side. West Fork had six penalties for 35 yards in the first half alone. The Warhawks finished with 45 yards in penalty yards.

“I say this all the time, our guys are freshmen in this system,” Gabe said. “Even the seniors are freshmen, mentally, so we’re going to have those penalties. I mean, some of them were on me, honestly. There were a couple of plays there I called something and somebody moved. I’m making them think.

“I need to get back to the basics, keep it simple - not throw too much at them and get behind those big offensive linemen a little bit more.”

As for North Butler, the passing game struggled, with Jaret Wunsch going 1-of-14 for four yards and two interceptions.

“The passing game needs some work, a lot of our game needs some work,” Rusch said. “Defensively, again, I felt we played real well, too. A pretty solid game, we only gave up one score and gave up a couple of big plays, but other than that, I think we did a nice job.

“Overall, the kids are disappointed with the loss, the kids are very disappointed, I expect them to be. But, we did a lot of good things in the game. We have a lot of things we need to work on and some good things, too.”

Rusch added, “Any time you turn the ball over, it changes the momentum of the game. I think our defense did a good job of responding. We only gave up seven points, they moved the ball on us at times, but we really had that bend-but-don’t-break. It wasn’t a blow-out one side or the other. We’ve got a lot of work to do on both sides of the ball.”

Todd Dolan had an interception for North Butler to offset a West Fork fumble recovery just one play later shortly before halftime.

Rusch said he saw a lot of things that his team did right in the opener.

“We’ve got a lot of football left to play this season, so we’ve got eight more games to go. we expect to make big improvements this week,” Rusch said. “We feel we always make the big jumps from week one to week two and we fully expect to do that. We won’t hang our heads and we’ll learn from the mistakes we made, watch film and come back Monday and get ready for Central Springs and get a win next week.

“The first game is a big test to see where we are at and we’ve got some work to do, but overall we’ve got a good corps of ball players and by the time we get to district play we’ll have that figured out and we can make ourselves a part of the championship race.”

Vehicle burns up after accident Last Friday afternoon, a two-vehicle 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.” Pictured, Clarksville [right] and Plainfield [left] fire departments work to put out a car on fire last Friday.

Jessi Reints, who was an assistant at Clarksville Public Library, is step-ping 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 full-time posi-tions. Here’s a question-and-answer inter-view 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 re-sponses 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 school-agers [K-5]. Right now, every-thing 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 [bach-elor’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 com-munity 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 inqui-ries 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 some-time this summer, but that didn’t hap-pen 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 their done with con-struction, 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. 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. Wasitabitscaryatfirst,withrealitysetting 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 ev-ery night and document the progress, and [I’m] totally overwhelmed. I’m not really scared; it’s just anxious ex-citement, uncertainty. I’m actually not normally a person that goes and takes a risk, but I’m very confident and ex-cited 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.

Clarksville Child Development to open in October

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.

Early Teal Hunting Information Sessions Waterfowl hunters have a new season this year. Whether it continues will de-pend on how well they can identify fast moving teal, over a shallow wetland. To outline the new ‘early teal’ sea-son, the DNR has scheduled six free information sessions around the state beginning August 27 at 7 p.m., at the F.W. Kent Park conservation educa-tion center, west of Tiffin On Highway 6; followed by Spencer, August 28, 7 p.m., Spencer High School ICN room, 800 East 3rd Street; Burlington, August 28, 7 p.m., Starr’s Cave Nature Center, 11627 Starr’s Cave Road; Peosta, Au-gust 28, 6:30 p.m., Swiss Valley Nature Center, 13606 Swiss Valley Road; and Waverly, September 4, 6:30 p.m., Wa-

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 mi-grating species and the peak of the migration occurs before our regular season opens,” explains DNR water-fowl 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, ob-servation 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 water-fowl hunters were surveyed last win-ter; 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 green-winged 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.

Butler County Development and Zinpro corporations will host a public open house Friday, Sept. 12. The event runs from noon to 3 p.m., and includes a free lunch and tours of the new Zinpro manufacturing facility, which will start production in the near future. The Butler Logistics Park is lo-cated two miles west of Shell Rock. Butler County Cattlemen will serve a grilled rib eye sandwich meal from

noon to 2 p.m., or until gone. “This is an informal event for the public to learn more about Zinpro, and help us welcome our newest employer to Butler County,” said Jeff Kolb, ex-ecutive director of BCDC. “Zinpro is the second company to locate in the industrial park, as American Colloid Company opened their new plant ear-lier this summer.” Tours are ongoing throughout the

event. Butler Logistics Park is a new rail-focused industrial park. The develop-ment is the culmination of efforts from an Iowa Northern Railway Company, Butler County Development Corpora-tion, Butler County REC, Central Iowa Water Association, Butler-Bremer Communications, Cornbelt Power and Butler County Board of Supervisors partnership.

Klip’s ClipsDuane 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. Hi s 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.(Photos by Duane Klipping/BONFIRE Photography)
