Allison remembers their loved ones 

By Pat Racette 

The Memorial Day Parade went 

on through blustery conditions 

Monday morning, well at least some 

of it anyway. 

Allison AMVETS Post 88 

marched down Main Street, along 

with the North Butler High School 

color guard squad. 

Shortly after, the AMVETS went 

indoors for the Memorial Day Service 

at the NB Middle School auditorium. 

They presented the colors, 

with Charles Mosher hosting. 

Gwen Groen sang a couple of 

songs, including a touching rendition 

of America the Beautiful during 

the quiet atmosphere in the auditorium. 

Pastor Ralph Wedeking of United 

Church of Christ shed together a 

heartfelt prayer of love, before guest 

speaker Al Janssen gave the Memorial 

Day address. 

Janssen, who gave a speech fi ve 

years ago, let the audience know 

he a different speech prepared this 

time. He shared a couple stories he 

remembered of a small boy who was 

awestruck by the American fl ag during 

World War II and a man confi ned 

to a wheel chair who a tank driver 

in war and remembers all those 18, 

19 and 20 something year olds that 

didn’t make it back home and have 

the chance to be a father and grandfather 

and have children and grandchildren 

like he did. 

Mosher then gave the Roll of 

Honor, announcing the names of deceased 

veteran’s in the Vilmar, Butler 

Center and Allison cemeteries. 

Before the colors were retired and 

Pastor Wedeking gave the benediction, 

Mosher played TAPS on his 

trumpet.

Crawford fi nds way at war: 

Longtime deputy sheriff shares impressions on Vietnam with Grout museum interviewer 


Out of sight, out of mind. 

A skinny 21-year-old dropout 

turned into a mature 23-year-old in 

the late 1960s. From not being able 

to deal with being away from home 

at college to morphing into a veteran 

carrying a ratty rifl e and dark sun tan 

in the middle of December in Iowa. 

During political protests, freedom 

music, the Vietnam War and a generational 

movement, Larry Crawford 

remembers his time in Vietnam as a 

dream when he came back home. 

He recently sat down with Grout 

Museum District Interview Assistant 

Jane Meyer for a one-on-one recording 

about his war experience. Craw- 

ford was one of several in the area to 

share his stories of war at the Allison 

Public Library. His interview will 

soon be available to listen to or view 

at the museum. 

Meyer will be coming back in the 

summer to the library to show an exhibit 

with excerpts from all the area 

veterans’ interviews. 

Meyer, who has interviewed over 

1,000 veterans in Iowa, found out 

Crawford returned home the University 

of Iowa State after a couple 

years – diploma less. 

“Mother was not happy,” he said. 

“That’s a real polite way of putting.” 

In a sticky situation, Crawford 

chose to volunteer for the Army in- 

stead of being forced into the draft. 

And from 1967-70, he served his 

country and found something he was 

good at – law enforcement. Crawford 

came back home to Allison and 

spent the rest of his career as a Sheriff 

Deputy in Butler County. 

He spent 1968 in Vietnam, as the 

protests against the war were just beginning. 

However, fi rst he had to be 

trained to become a soldier and then 

military police offi cer in the latter of 

’67. 

Known as the swamp, Crawford 

had basic training at Fort Campbell, 

Ky. It was there the skinny boy 

was transformed into a soldier, getting 

broken down and built back up 

again. 

““I remember they get you out of 

bed and you had to clean up everything,” 

he said. “You get there and 

then they take you for a run, and the 

runs got longer each day. When they 

started, they had a 2 1/2-ton truck 

following the group around, and 

loading the people who collapsed 

onto the truck. And as days went 

on, the number got fewer and they 

subbed in a Jeep.” 

Two months later, Crawford 

passed basic training and found his 

headquarters in Fort Gordon, Ga., a 

sand pile. Spending hours in class-

Crawford 

room lectures, he was taught how to 

deal with situations as an MP, as well 

as arm combat and stick training and 

practicals. 

“The proper way to handcuff [instruction] 

takes half a day,” he said. 

“The key holes and cuffs are supposed 

to be in relation to each other, 

and the back of hands are supposed 

to be towards each other.” 

Flying back home in the winter, 

Crawford received a month off before 

his fi rst assignment – Vietnam. 

Arriving in Saigon, the former 

South Vietnam capital, Jan. 4 of ‘68, 

Crawford distinctly remembers his 

fi rst impression of Vietnam – putrid 

smelling. Their primary agricultural 

product is rice paddies, and their primary 

form of fertilization is human 

feces. 

“When they opened the plane, 

you could watch the smell moving 

through the airplane and reactions 

from the men on the plane. Every 

one of them fl inched and moved 

some way when that smell reached 

them.” 

A day later, Crawford was standing 

on a tower made of 55-gallon oil 

drums of sand with a rifl e in his hand 

in Qui Nhon, a coastal city. Still suffering 

from jet lag, he was put on 

watch during the Tet Offensive with 

Viet Congs nearby. 

He still can’t remember if he 

stayed awake or not, but as it turned 

out, it didn’t matter. 

“They were actually supposed to 

attack our base that night. A whole 

bunch of the Veitcong types, but, everybody 

makes mistakes, and apparently 

they got themselves lost in the 

dark and in the South Korean army 

compuound about 2 or 3 miles down 

the road. They blundered into that, 

and got really badly mauled up.”

Former Butler County Deputy Sheriff for 35 years, Larry Crawford, speaks about his experiences at war, which led him 

to law enforcement. (Pat Racette Photo) 

The rest of Crawford’s time in 

Vietnam seemed mild in comparison, 

more like police work as he describes 

it. He, along with four other 

men, patrolled highway QL19 between 

Qui Nhon and Pleiku, armed 

with one M16 machine gun and 500 

rounds in one jeep, and a grenade 

launcher in the other. 

“We didn’t have to load ourselves 

down with magazines, we had an 

ammo can full of them. And we 

could burn a lot of ammunition.” 

The fi rst time Crawford was shot 

at, he shot back, hoping support 

would come before he ran out of ammunition. 

“Even with 500 rounds, an M16 

goes through ammunition at an incredible 

rate. At one time I burned 

up everything we had except the pistol 

ammunition and hand grenades.” 

That particular time, the 173 rd Airborne 

Brigade blazed away at the 

enemy to allow Crawford to get the 

battalion people that stopped to fi ght 

instead of turning tale. 

At An Khé, Crawford’s base was 

located between Qui Nhon and Pleiku 

on the side of a mountain in the 

jungle. At least one orangutan lives 

out there, as guys looked for comedy 

in whatever they could.

and scream at the mountain, and 

the orangutan would scream back 

at him. The team would scream for 

a couple of minutes, and we’d joke 

and ask which is which. 

Crawford came home at 2:30 a.m. 

on his 23 rd birthday, foregoing the 

Bob Hope Show. His parents picked 

him up at Waterloo, as he walked out 

of the airplane with his ratty rifl e and 

a deep sun tan in December. 

“It must have been quite a picture.” 

After returning home for a month, 

he was sent to Sheridan, Ill., where 

he spent the remaining part of his 

service doing mainly civilian police 

work. 

Berm protects New Hartford from fl ood damage 


New Hartford, a town known for 

fl ooding, had its fi fth highest crest 

since 1947 Monday, but withheld 

the high waters coming from Parkersburg 

and Ackley along the Beaver 

Creek River. 

Cresting at 13.34 feet, nothing 

went over the berm that was added 

onto after the 2008 fl ood that crested 

at 15.71 feet. Around 2,000 loads of 

dirt were added to the 50-year fl ood 

zone berm. 

“The berm protected the whole 

community,” said Council member 

Gordy Ballhagen. “Water like 

that would’ve fl ooded and damaged 

downtown…In 2008 the school 

fl ooded, and this is just 1.5 feet short 

of that.” 

New Hartford [left] and Dike volunteer fi remen lift debris out of 

the Beaver Creek River Monday. 

The NH Fire Department and volunteers 

pumped all night to lower 

the water level. Water went over the 

railroad ditch into several residents’ 

backyards, but no rescue boats were 

needed to get people out of their 

houses. The gas was shut off by 

MidAmerican Energy as a precaution 

and due to the town’s history of 

fl ooding. 

“We got a few things to do yet,” 

Ballhagen said. “We need to put another 

culvert in so it doesn’t back up 

[south of Main Street].” 

The Butler County Sheriff’s Offi 

ce headed up security and emergency 

duties at New Hartford, with 

the Iowa Department of Transportation 

also helping.

to the other Monday when the Beaver Creek River went into the fl ood zone.

Drought stricken farmers and rural 

communities receive double funding 

The Butler County 4-H will now be able to better serve the community, 

thanks to the support of local farmers, Nancy and Mike Jensen, and America’s 

Farmers Grow Communities. 

Sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of Monsanto Company, 

Grow Communities provides farmers in eligible counties the chance to 

win a $2,500 donation for a local nonprofit organization of their choice. To 

further support counties declared natural disaster areas by the United States 

Department of Agriculture (USDA) due to drought this year, winning farmers 

in these counties are able to direct double donations, a total of $5,000. 

Butler County was declared a disaster area by the USDA, giving the Jensens 

the opportunity to choose two organizations to receive $2,500 donations. 

They selected the Butler County 4-H to receive both donations. The 

4-H plans to use a portion of the donation to fund Science, Technology, 

Engineering and Math (STEM) education. The remaining funds will be put 

toward marketing the 4-H in Butler County and creating programs that meet 

the needs of today’s youth. 

“I work for the 4-H,” said Nancy. “This donation is truly an honor and will 

benefit the youth in this community.” 

This year, the Monsanto Fund will invest nearly $6 million in rural America 

through Grow Communities, which includes double donations for counties 

impacted by the historic drought. In Iowa $495,000 is being given across 99 

counties. 

America’s Farmers Grow Communities is sponsored by the Monsanto 

Fund to partner with farmers in helping them positively impact their communities. 

This program is part of the Monsanto Fund’s overall effort to 

strengthen rural America. 

For a complete list of Grow Communities winners and more program information, 

please visit growcommunities.com. 

About the Monsanto Fund 

The Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of the Monsanto Company, is 

a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the farm communities 

where farmers and Monsanto Company employees live and work. Visit the

Farm and Nutrition Bill Includes 

Key Grassley Provisions 

Earlier this week, the Senate Agriculture Committee passed the Agriculture 

Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013. I voted for the bill, but hope that 

additional reforms can be adopted and we can continue to improve the bill. 

The bill we passed on Tuesday is similar to legislation that cleared the 

Senate last year. Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow and Ranking Member 

Thad Cochran incorporated reforms that I’ve been working on for several 

years that make the farm program more defensible and effective. When 

two-thirds of the farm payments go to the wealthiest 10 percent of farmers 

and there are loopholes that allow farm payments to go to non-farmers, 

Americans lose confidence that we’re using taxpayer money responsibly. 

The specific provisions in the farm and nutrition bill are nearly identical 

to legislation that I introduced earlier this year that would place 

a hard cap on the farm payments an individual farmer can receive in 

a year and close long-abused and well-documented loopholes in the 

farm payment program that currently allow non-farmers to qualify 

for federal farm payments and would allow one off-farm manager. 

An amendment that I circulated to other members of the committee was 

also adopted. That amendment is intended to make the farm bill more market-oriented 

in the way target prices are set. I had preferred the bill not 

include any target prices, because it distorts planting decisions. But with the 

adoption of my amendment, at least Iowa farmers, who tell me they don’t like 

target prices, won’t have to defend arbitrary target prices set by Congress. 

The amendment, for commodities except rice and peanuts, sets the target 

price by averaging the prices from the five previous years, while dropping the 

low and high price for that average, and multiplying it by a factor of 55 percent. 

Another amendment I didn’t have the opportunity to offer would restrict 

the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to release personal 

information to environmental activists. This provision is necessary because 

of the EPA’s release of information to activists on 80,000 farmers 

nationwide. I’m now preparing the amendment for floor consideration 

I expect a lot of debate on these provisions of the bill when the bill comes 

before the full Senate. But, in the end, good policy can win. 

Raising Awareness About Foster Care 

More than 400,000 children nationwide are in the foster care system. 

Whether they are babies or teenagers, the focus should be on placing 

these kids in permanent loving homes. Foster care needs to be a layover, 

not a destination. And while children are in the foster care system, 

it should work as effectively as possible to offer stability and security. 

For more than 20 years, Presidential proclamations have declared National 

Foster Care Month in May. In the U.S. Senate, Senator Mary 

Landrieu and I introduce a Senate Resolution each May to help raise 

awareness about the challenges of children in the foster care system and 

encourage Congress to implement policies to improve the lives of children 

in the foster care system. There are so many issues that need attention, 

including the widespread misperception that children in foster 

care are disruptive, unruly and dangerous, even though placement in 

foster care is based on the actions of a parent or guardian, not the child. 

Senator Landrieu and I also co-founded and continue to co-chair the Senate 

Caucus on Foster Youth to give voice to the children who have grown up 

in the system and identify gaps that could be addressed with policy changes 

and citizen involvement. Lawmakers need to continually evaluate the policies 

in place and to make certain the goals are met of legislation enacted in 

2008 to facilitate adoptions and legislation enacted in 2006 to strengthen 

the child-welfare system. I was a legislative author in both of these reform 

initiatives. Adoptions from foster care have dramatically increased, and continued 

oversight of the system is needed. 

Protecting Whistleblowers, a National Treasure 

We’ve seen a lot of headlines about the budget sequester as a tool to 

cut government spending. But one of the most effective ways to cut 

spending is low profile and comes from within the government itself: 

whistleblowers who point out waste, fraud and abuse in their agencies. 

Since 1986, whistleblower incentives in federal law have recovered more 

than $30 billion for the federal treasury that otherwise would be lost to fraud. 

Whistleblowers within the government risk their careers to come forward 

with knowledge only they have as the people in the trenches, doing the public’s 

work. They have a unique perspective that good managers appreciate, 

and bad managers do not tolerate. 

The bad managers retaliate against the employees for shaking up the status 

quo, stripping them of meaningful work, trying and sometimes succeeding in 

firing them. 

Because whistleblower retaliation is real, whistleblower protections must 

be airtight. 

That’s why I just wrote to the major executive branch agencies about the 

recently enacted Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act. The new law 

codifies an “anti-gag” provision I’d been introducing every year. The provision 

makes explicit that agency nondisclosure agreements with employees 

do not apply to communications with Congress or reporting violations and/or 

misconduct to an agency inspector general, or any other whistleblower protection. 

Agency nondisclosure agreements must include specific disclaimers 

to that effect, and those disclaimers must be posted on agency websites. 

Without whistleblowers, the public wouldn’t know about a lot of problems 

that had to be exposed to get fixed. Protections for whistleblower communications 

with Congress and agency watchdogs are critical for whistleblowers’ 

good work to continue.

Where, O Where Are Those Entries? 

It seems like every year I’ve been here, we’ve begged and pleaded for 

4-H members to turn in their livestock fair entries early (or even on time!). 

This year the 4-H & Youth Committee even moved our fair livestock entry 

deadline up a week to May 30 th to give us more time to check those entries 

against the animals a member has identified in 4hOnline. Ruth keeps telling 

me that entries just aren’t coming in like they normally do and is worried 

about the last minute rush to the finish! 

Luckily for some people, who did make entries early, we discovered they 

had not identified those animals they said they were bringing to fair into 

4hOnline. OOOPS! BIG NO-NO! I was able to get them added before the 

system shut down. 

Others out there, I know will wait for the last minute, which is 

4 pm on May 30 th to make their entries. IF there’s any kind of problem, it 

will be too late for me to do anything to correct it. 

We’ve put this information in our newsletter, Clover Comments, I’ve put 

it on the radio, we’ve had it in the papers and all leaders have been pushing 

kids to get this done. What else can we do? There comes a point where it is 

less “our” problem and more the member’s “responsibility”. 

Before I became CYC (but was a member of the 4-H & Youth Committee) 

we did away with accepting late entries, penalty or not. The deadline was 

just that, the deadline. 

We’ve heard so many reasons why something didn’t get done (even the 

dog ate the paper!) that NOTHING surprises us anymore, BUT, nothing can 

be done about it either. 

Many counties have entry dates for all non-livestock exhibits also, but 

Butler has not done this for quite a while. Seems like kids would fill up their 

entry card with exhibits and then end up crossing off three quarters of them. 

We hired judges based on what kids said they were bringing and had to pay 

those judges for doing very little judging. (As a judge, I HATE sitting there 

with nothing to do! Bring on the kids!) 

So, what’s the answer to getting these vital livestock entries in on time? I 

HAVE NO IDEA! One thing will not change though, we do not accept any 

late entries. 

If you’re reading this and know a 4-Her or FFA member planning on 

showing at the 2013 Butler County Fair in June, ask them if they have their 

entries in. PLEASE! 

They’ll be glad you did, you’ll be glad you did and so will we! 

See you and all those livestock entries at the fair!

SUV swept from roadway 

A white SUV was seen getting swept from the roadway by swift water 

Monday morning. 

Located on Westbrook Avenue, west of Parkersburg, the vehicle was 

quickly located by fire/rescue, however, it could not be recovered due to being 

submerged in deep water with strong current. 

The condition and location of the driver could not be confirmed as of Monday, 

but an investigation into the incident indicates it was Howard Hodson, 

71, of Ackley. 

The Butler County Sheriff’s Office was notified and investigated the scene. 

Butler County Hall of Fame 

Editor’s Note: We are featuring former Butler County Hall of Famers to 

allow people to start thinking about individuals deserving to be nominated 

for 2014. Any person who has distinguished him or her self in the county, 

state or national level shall be eligible. Candidates must be nominated by 

any citizen of Butler County between now and Dec. 31. They will then be voted 

on by the group of 16 electors the following April. Secretary Vera Garbes 

can be contacted at vmgarbes@butler-bremer.com for more information and 

guidelines. 

The information is taken from the Butler County Hall of Fame 1976-2006 

book. 

1978 – Hazel M. Black 

Miss Black graduated from Waverly High School and received her B.A. 

degree at Iowa State Teachers College. She taught for many years in Iowa, 

teaching at Waverly and Ames. 

From 1920-1942, she was County Superintendent of Butler County 

Schools. At that time there were over 100 one-room rural schools, four consolidated 

and eight independent town systems to be supervised in Butler 

County. She made her round via car, wearing out three Fords and two Pontiacs. 

Miss Black loved her boys and girls, and though the average annual enrollment 

in rural schools exceeded 1800, over the years she came to know most 

of the three generations of elementary children by name. 

When she left the office of Butler County Superintendent, she attended 

George Peabody College for teachers in Nashville, Tenn., where she received 

her master’s degree in elementary education. 

She loved the South, and decided to accept a position as an instructor and 

field director of in-service teacher training at the University of Southern Mississippi 

at Hattiesburg, Miss. She served 16 years in this capacity. 

Her greatest strength and contribution has been in her first hand contact 

and inspiration with literally hundreds of loyal teachers and her devotion to 

her work and the people involved. 

Miss Black made her home in Hattiesburg, Miss., until her health failed 

and she then became a resident of Hattiesburg Convalescent Center. She 

passed away Aug. 8, 1977. She was buried beside her devoted parents in 

Waverly’s Harlington Cemetery. 

At the time, Black was the first candidate to earn all 16 votes by electors, 

and the second woman in the B.C. HOF. She was inducted with Sen. Chuck 

Grassley, the Rev. Paul Leonard Hagarty and John F. Hartwig.

Webelo Scouts create can drop 

The Clarksville Webelos Scouts have built a can redemption 

drop that is place by the City recycling container (behind 

City Halls). 

All the money that is made from this can drop will be used 

to send the Clarksville Cub Scouts of all ages to Scout Camp. 

Working hard on the project, the boys are hoping the can 

drop will be an ongoing help to the Cub Scouts to afford 

more activities and projects.

Here’s How It Works: 

Sudoku puzzles are formatted 

as a 9x9 grid, broken 

down into nine 3x3 boxes. To 

solve a sudoku, the numbers 

1 through 9 must ll each 

row, column and box. Each 

number can appear only once 

in each row, column and box. 

You can 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!
