Organist tickles the ivories at church one last time “I never did take organ lessons,” confesses Rita Seeman, who after 72 years of playing the organ for St. John’s Catholic Church is retiring her position. “I just went from piano to organ, teaching myself, so I guess I am not really authentic, but at least we had music.” Last Sunday was her final day of accompanying the St. John’s congregation and leading the choir. In recognition of her music ministries and to thank her for her many years of service, a reception will be held Sunday, Aug. 25 after mass. Cards can be sent to her at 325 SE 4th Street, Ogden, Iowa 50212. Seeman began playing at the church when she was 12 years old. The church at the time was located in the northwest corner of town. It has since been torn down with the new one built at its present location on W Division Street. Seeman remembers growing up in a musical family. “Mom was musical and always wanted us girls to sing, so we would perform as trios and duets in contests, at PTA meetings and even between basketball games.” In selecting songs for Sunday masses throughout the years Seeman explained how she would do her best to tie them in with the homily (sermon). But as she was seeing her time at the keys wind down she couldn’t resist sneaking in her all time favorite “Mine Eyes

PRESTON CHURCH First Team All-State

Bulldogs receive All-State recognition Ogden Bulldog senior Preston Church was chosen First Team All-State by the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association (IHSBCA). Teammate Cody Good was named to the IHSBCA Academic All-State First Team. The 27th AllAcademic First Team consists of the top 22 players nominated by their coaches, who demonstrate outstanding academic, moral, and athletic characteristics. Both Bulldogs were instrumental in helping Ogden to a 21-9 record this past season, under Coach Dick Smith. The team placed second in the West Central Conference with a 17-3 mark and was ranked 7th in the final season poll for Class 2A. Church was selected as an allstate pitcher after recording an ERA of .90, striking out 134 batters and finishing the season with an 8-3 record. At the plate, Church blasted 2 home runs, 4 triples and 14 doubles while driving in 34 runs. He completed his season with an on-base percentage of over 50% - .536 while batting .463. Ogden’s senior shortstop and pitcher, Good, who started in all 30 games, led the Bulldogs with 16 stolen bases in 20 attempts. He batted .414 with an on-base percentage of

.468. During his final season, Good posted 3 triples, 10 doubles with 19 RBIs. “Out of only 99 at bats Cody struck out just three times, and that is unbelievable,” said the Bulldog coach. In his 26 innings of pitching Good had an ERA of 3.15. He struck out 35 batters while only walking two, finishing with a 5-2 record. “We think Preston is the first Division I baseball player to come out of Ogden,” commented Smith. “He’s been very dedicated, works hard and puts in the extra time to go to clinics to make himself a better player. Baseball is his true love.” Church will be playing college ball at Northern Illinois University. Smith added, “Both he and Cody are very good athletes and great kids. Their personalities lead the team.”

One of her other favorite songs she says is “Ave Maria.” Seeman still plans on playing piano when she moves into her new place at Eastern Star Masonic Home in Boone. She just doesn’t know how she’s going to get all the sheet music/books she wants over there.

Sean resigned from his executive position at a national bank and moved to Utah with Annelise where a direct sales model could be more effectively implemented.

The company has distributors enrolled in 49 states and three American Territories. “The success we’ve had so early on has exceeded our expectations,” Annelise said. “To take our business BRENDA FISHER Please turn to page two

AS THE SUMMER following graduation winds down, many high school seniors begin to prepare for college, with an uneasy anticipation. After all, the past 18 years they were surrounded by friends and family. But now, they find themselves packing bags and moving onto a new life with many unknown adventures. Haley Meister still has a year of high school left so it is hard to imagine her feelings when she packed bags for a journey halfway around the world. Meister had gone on mission trips before. This was different. She would not be traveling with wellknown companions and her stay would extend through most of the summer, June 21 through July 30. “I was hesitant,” said Meister of a return trip to Africa. “It would definitely put me out of my comfort zone.” Then she remembered the faces from the 2012 trip she took with the Bethel Youth Church. “My heart truly broke for those people.” According to Meister her decision was a step of faith. “I knew I would be relying on God to guide me.” Meister joined a group of 32 individuals from all over the United States as part of the Royal Servants, a Reign Ministries’ summer mission program. Reign Ministries, headquartered in Minneapolis, MN is a non-denominational Christian mission trips ministry. The two part trip would take them to Sierra Leone’s capital of Free Town for two weeks. A majority of the remaining time was spent in the town of Bo at an orphanage where she met the man who established the orphanage. He just happened to be from Marshalltown, IA. “Sierra Leone is one of the poorest countries in the world,” said Meister. She described the homes as one room shacks with dirt floors.

Walls were made from anything and everything. Whatever was available. “And the neighborhoods were like a maze, She explained. “The closer the shacks were together, the poorer the people were.” While visiting their homes Meister noted that the one thing they do have is relationships. “In their communities they rely on each other. It’s almost refreshing to go into that culture. And they are so hospitable and welcome you so much.” A good portion of their ministry was evangelism. Members of the group visited detention centers and boarding schools where they divided into skills groups. They incorporated the Gospel in drama, dance and puppet presentations. After breaking into small groups they would offer words of encouragement and say prayers. Meister saw first-hand benefits of the World Vision International child sponsorship program. Sponsored children, she says, are provided with food and clothing. Any remaining funds help around the community. Meister says if you are interested in sponsoring a child, to make sure you are with a reliable organization such as World Vision or Compassion International. Their final week was spent in Paris where they went through a debriefing. Meister explained: “They said we would go through a culture shock upon returning home, coming off of a spiritual high. Since the ministry is very much focused on coming home and making sure you apply what you learned, they talked about how to still make serving God and glorifying him at home important in our lives.” Haley is senior at Ogden High School. The crowded streets of Free Port. Although English is the official language Creole is predominately spoken in the villages.

Haley Meister’s heart went out to the children in Sierra Leone, a country that still has a lot of issues with malaria. “Treatment is only $5 but people would be dying because they didn’t have the money,” says Meister.

Letter to the editor:

Change is nothing to be afraid of to the editor:

The last time I moved my living room furniture was in 1995. I know this because that is when I bought the furniture. The last time I owned a vehicle other than a black Chevrolet pick-up or a Jeep CJ7, Reagan was president. The last time my address read something other than “Ogden, Iowa,” America was fighting a “conflict” in a nasty little place called Vietnam. The point is that I don’t like change. In fact, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is more of a personal mantra than a quirky idiom. But in spite of my dig-in-your-heels attitude, I have recently been uncharacteristically in support of the local issue of the quiet zone. A change, and something I should detest. However, as much as I hate change, I cannot ignore facts. I will not go into the details here since anyone who has attended the town meetings on the matter is well aware of the statistics, I will say that my decision was based in logic, something I adore and live by almost as much as I hate change. In the beginning, I even went so far to consider those who were not in support of this change to be irrational, illogical, and maybe, in the heat of the moment, just plain silly. But then I saw a movie. This past Sunday afternoon a movie I have seen before and enjoyed popped up on whatever channel and I decided to take some time to relax and re-watch it. Pleasantville. It’s a good flick. Toby McQuire is pretty good and Joan Allen isn’t hard to look at. If you are unfamiliar with it, it centers on two 1990s teens who find themselves magically transported into a 1950’s sitcom. Appropriately this segment of the movie is in black and white. Initially McQuire’s character enjoys it, loving the idea of a simple, complacent world without the hassles of progress, only seeing life in black and white. Slowly, however, he realizes that those people within are actually quite unhappy, and, even worse, fearful. It is their fear that paralyzes them from changing and, therefore, achieving happiness. Eventually McQuire’s character has some influence and those who change grow happier and start to see life in color. Those who don’t, grow more fearful. As I sat in my recliner in front of the television, I started to realize something. The people of Pleasantville did not refuse change because it was irrational or illogical. They didn’t care about the facts. They were afraid. Of course they were afraid. The world they knew was changing and that is an uncomfortable thought. Now, of course, a quiet zone in Ogden, Iowa is not a change of lifestyle or values. No one is being asked to change his or her way of life. But it is, nonetheless, change, and change is scary. Resistance to change is natural, human. But what’s scarier is what that resistance can do to things like progress and growth; namely, stop it in its tracks. The people of Pleasantville had no idea how beautiful their lives could be until they were actually in those new lives. In that spirit, perhaps the people of Ogden will soon overcome their fears and enjoy a quieter, safer and growing community. d. K. Stoner 407 e Walnut St. ogden, ia 50212

Letter to the editor:

He applauds those keeping the energy alive in Ogden to the editor: It is very exciting to see progressive changes being accomplished in my old hometown of Ogden. It is great to see so many individuals moving forward together accomplishing necessary changes to keep the community thriving by getting a new medical clinic down town. Those involved I take my hat off to you and keep that energy alive because that’s what people like to see in a community knowing Ogden is great community to live in and is not standing still but working for the future existence of the community. Keep up the great work and energy going. It is nice to see progressive changes being made each time I come back home to visit friends and family. marK a. Boehm ogden, ia

Ruth’s Reflections These last few weeks of summer, before kids are heading back to school, are busy and the days are full. We’ve had a lot of visitors and when I go to town the streets and shops are filled with tourists. Driving around the plaza the other day, looking for a spot to park, there were cars from many different states. I didn’t mind not finding a place to park. It’s great to see so many out-of-towners enjoying our little community. The much needed recent rains have freshened the air and it’s looking greener all around Taos. Looking out towards the mountains, there is a noticeable difference, with blankets of green on the slopes now. Even here on the mesa, blades of grass are popping up. We’re still a long ways from the end of the drought, but just seeing the changes has brought optimism and hope that the drought may be ending. I took a drive out to the mountains to see what the access road was like at one of my old trail riding spots. I remembered that there was a long, narrow, starting to get deep rut that I could navigate with my 4-wheel drive to get the trailer in to a good parking spot. I wanted to make sure it was still accessible. I drove the car, and hesitated when I saw there was a sign posted at the road entrance that said it wasn’t suitable for passenger cars. That was new. I’d driven up that road easily in my car years ago. I drove carefully to the pull-off where I’d hoped to bring the truck and trailer. The little rut from several years ago was now a little trench. There’s no way I’d try driving the trailer over that now. Disappointed, I drove a bit further, then turned around. The access road was washed out a bit on the edges and it was obvious that either there had been significantly heavier rains here and, or more likely, there were simply no funds to do maintenance on the road. Another sad reflection of the past several years’ poor economy. I headed down the highway to the next forest service road, which I knew led to a campground. It, too, had a sign warning that it was not suitable for passenger cars. I drove cautiously up to the campground turnoff. I could get my truck and trailer in this area easily enough, but I was thankful that there was no oncoming traffic on the road. The edges were loose and down to one lane. If I do go there with the truck and big trailer, I’ll have to be careful to not get caught in a downpour or I may not be able to drive out. Just driving down the service road, seeing where the trails connected, brought back many good memories of riding these trails several years ago, before the responsibilities of the horse sanctuary brought an end to my trail riding time. The first few years that I lived in Taos, rarely a week went by in the summer and fall months that I didn’t go out riding. I have realized, this year especially, how important it is for me to get out and do something relaxing. Many of the rides I would go out alone in the forest with just my dogs and my horse. I remembered those rides were a time of contemplation, of dreaming, of creating in my mind the concepts of the horse sanctuary, planning and figuring out what I wanted to do and how to do it. Ironic that now here I am, years later, trying to figure out ways of how to carve out a bit of time to go back to those same trails! They say that life moves in circles. I see that all the time, and this is just another example of how my life is coming full circle. When I create a workshop, clinic or class at the horse sanctuary, the focus is not just on teaching participants a horse skill. A primary goal of the sanctuary is to bring horses and people together. It’s about the relationship, what horses can bring to our lives. So while teaching a skill or providing information, I also look for ways to show people how horses affect our lives. What they do for us is as great, or greater, than what we do for them. Learning, teaching, observing, appreciating, all these things make our lives richer. Being in nature as well as spending time with horses is a powerful combination. I feel better just thinking about it! Until next time, Ruth

Funds are available for water quality practices Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey announced that cost share funds are available to help farmers install nutrient reduction practices. The initial practices that are prioritized for funding this fall are cover crops, no-till or strip till, or using a nitrification inhibitor when applying fertilizer. “These funds are available to help farmers take steps this fall to reduce nutrient losses,” Northey said. “This is the first step of implementing the Iowa Water Quality Initiative and we have a lot more work to do, but we are excited to start working with farmers to get voluntary sciencebased conservation practices on the ground.” The cost share rate for farmers

planting cover crops is $25 per acre and for farmers trying no-till or strip till is $10 per acre. Farmers using a nitrapyrin nitrification inhibitor when applying fall fertilizer can receive $3 per acre. Any farmer not already utilizing these practices can apply for assistance. Farmers are only eligible for cost share on up to 160 acres. Farmers can contact their local Soil and Water Conservation District office to apply. “By allowing farmers to try new practices on a limited number of acres at a reduced cost we want to showcase the benefits of these practices and encourage farmers to incorporate them into their operation,” Northey said.

The church of Christ Who are these people? The New Testament confirms the importance of comprehending our own sinfulness. In the book of Romans, Paul spends three chapters (Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2; Romans 3) declaring the sinfulness of all men (Romans 3:23) before thoroughly discussing the way of salvation. Law is essentially a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tutorâ&#x20AC;? (Galatians 3:24) of the receptive heart, given to teach the utter need for Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saving grace (Ephesians 2:1-8). Without law and its penalty (1 John 3:4; Romans 6:23), grace is meaningless. And without manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understanding of the reality and gravity of sin in his life, there can be no redemption. We have no business preaching grace to people who do not understand the implications of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law. It is meaningless to expound upon grace to someone who does not know the divine demand for righteousness (Romans 6:13, 16, 18, 19). Mercy cannot be understood without a corresponding grasp of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own guilt (Psalm 51:1-4; Isaiah 59:12-13). The gospel (good news) of grace cannot be properly preached to someone who has not heard that God requires obedience (Romans 1:5; Romans 6:17; Romans 16:26; 2 Corinthians 10:5), and that He punishes every disobedience (2 Corinthians 10:6; Hebrews 2:2). Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it amazing how so many preachers and teachers of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word today want to convince the world that we are not under any kind of law to God? We are indeed under law to God today! In fact, there could be no such thing as â&#x20AC;&#x153;sinâ&#x20AC;? without law (1 John 3:4). Today, we are under â&#x20AC;&#x153;the law of Christâ&#x20AC;? (Galatians 6:2); â&#x20AC;&#x153;the perfect law of libertyâ&#x20AC;? (James 1:25); â&#x20AC;&#x153;the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesusâ&#x20AC;? (Romans 8:2); and â&#x20AC;&#x153;the law of faithâ&#x20AC;? (Romans 3:27). The words in these passages would not have been used to describe it (law), were it not of legal standing with man. Since sin is clearly â&#x20AC;&#x153;the transgression of the lawâ&#x20AC;? (1 John 3:4), we must admit that either we are under law today, or that we can never commit sin!

Transforming river trash into treasured sculpture By: Amy Mattson and Bill Adams

f you had one thousand pounds of river trash, what would you build? To anyone but David Williamson, the question posed by an Iowa Department of Natural Resources employee might have sounded absurd. But for the sculptor and recycling enthusiast, it sounded like a promising opportunity. The UI arts graduate had been incorporating recycled materials into his work since the early 1970s, and jumped at the chance to partner with the DNR on its latest initiative: A Watershed Awareness River Expedition (Project AWARE). Founded in 2003, Project AWARE invites volunteers from across the state to canoe 100 miles of Iowa rivers and collect discarded materials from bicycles to barrels. But when the river cleanup expedition first began, organizers were faced with a large problem. No one knew what the volunteers had accomplished. Making meaningful metalwork

That’s where Williamson came in. For the past decade, Williamson has been telling the story of Project AWARE and honoring its participants through interactive metal working at the Iowa State Fair. Fairgoers of all ages, as well as those who took part in the river cleanup, partnered with Williamson to create castings, smelt recycled metal and hammer together sculptures that represent the spirit of Iowa and its waterways. That first year, Williamson and his approximately 450 collaborators produced a 12-foot tall, halfton sculpture resembling a canoe paddle. Since then, he and enthusiastic volunteers have created several more metal works and 5 sets of decorative security gates that adorn the west side of the Iowa State Fair DNR building. Although Williamson won’t be back at the fair this year, having satisfied his joint goal with the DNR in creating a visible name for Project AWARE, his work continues to engage citizens. “People are drawn to his art,” says Project AWARE director Lynette Seigley. “They’re amazed at how trash has been transformed into these beautiful sculptures.”

The story about Ogden resident and artist David Williamson featured on the University of Iowa’s news site, Iowa Now. home and studio in Boone County. His kitchen floor was once a basketball court, his spiral staircase a set of steel planter wheels, his firewood rack a swing set, and his dining booth a bed. “Trash is America’s only growing natural resource,” he says. “It’s the only thing left to hunt and gather.” That may well be, but 40 years ago, Williamson and his recycling practices made him an outsider among his artistic contemporaries and nearby neighbors. “At that time, recycling was an oddity. It wasn’t until the 90’s that it became hip,” he says. Continuing to ask questions Nevertheless, the sculptor continued in his work with recyclables, and eventually began to nurture the link between creativity and entrepreneurship. As a leadership trainer, Williamson challenges everyone from doctors and nurses to bankers and developers to discover creative and cogent solutions to service. “I simply ask them the questions they’re forgetting to ask themselves,” he explains. In a way, it’s a collaborative process, and not altogether different from the work Williamson has engaged in with Project AWARE. As the sculptor notes, he has simply facilitated the creation of meaningful and memorable content by paying close attention to the community and the American heartland in which it was created. “It’s not artwork that wants to be somewhere else. It belongs here in Iowa,” he says. art across Iowa A native Iowan himself, Williamson was born along the Mississippi River in Keokuk, and as a child he became captivated by the state’s waterways. “Rivers are historically creative and fertile lenses,” he says. And so with the rivers “work-

dave Williamson uses rope to straighten the gates after they are set in place. ing their magic” on Williamson, he began to regard art as a way to expand conversations about the environment and those who inhabited it. His sculptures, which have traveled to various venues across Iowa, became to him a kind of portable expression, the means by which communities could communicate and connect with one another. To UI Arts Share Director Leslie Finer, such an outlook is in direct harmony with her program’s mission to link faculty and students

with Iowa populations that might otherwise lack enriching arts experiences. “It’s a great way to cultivate an audience and create collaborations between communities and artists,” Finer says of the program that brings workshops, performances and readings to underserved regions. Currently, Arts Share members are creating a mural on the back of a Washington library whose alleyway serves as the town’s recycling center.

Williamson would likely be proud. “You’ve gone from a careless act to profound act of caring,” he says of the link involving art, recycling, and litter. an echo from the past Such a connection came full circle in Williamson’s final year with Project AWARE, when he was confronted with a pile of sidewall tires--the last to have been dredged from Iowa rivers. Imprinted on the side was Seiberling, a distinctive

echo back to Williamson’s time at the UI and his tutelage by Frank Seiberling, former director of the School of Art and Art History. It was Seiberling who had encouraged Williamson to pursue art, and his influence that had a lasting impression upon the Project AWARE sculptor. “Without the University of Iowa, I never would have become the artist I am today. The UI continues to be a place that knows how to ask questions, and for that I am grateful,” says Williamson.

from dentistry to artistry Williamson credits much of his creativity and artistic inclination to his time at the University of Iowa School of Art and Art History. As a young undergraduate in the mid 1960s he had plans to become a dentist. But that all changed after a fateful phone call his sophomore year. His band had just completed a set at the Mill when his mother phoned with bad news. His father had suffered a heart attack. Two days later, he passed away, and Williamson was left adrift. Returning to his studies, he found that while he still loved science courses, they weren’t able to provide the sense of healing he desired. “That’s when I thought, ‘I’ll take an art class,’” he says. Williamson never looked back. “Something was awakened in me. Instead of expecting me to answer questions, my professors were mentoring me on how to ask important questions.

Boone County 4-H’er participating in dog agility. - photo provided

1 Annual 4-H Dog Agility Trial st

The Canines and Clovers 4-H Dog Agility Group of Boone County will be hosting a 4-H Dog Agility Trial Saturday, Aug. 24 starting at 10 a.m. at the Boone County Fairgrounds. 4-H’ers from all over the state of Iowa that have been participating in a 4-H dog agility program in their home county were invited to participate, including seven youth from Boone County and youth from Webster, Greene, Bremer and Poweshiek Counties. Dog agility is one of the fastest growing dog sports in the world! It is a timed event where a handler directs the dog through an obstacle course. Each standard course is designed with obstacles that include the A-frame, dog walk, and teetertotter, jumps tunnels and weave poles are used to navigate from one obstacle to the next.

Dog agility helps build a stronger bond with your dog, where dog and owner pick up on each other’s cues and have fun together! Boone County 4-H Dog Agility Instructor and Leader of the Canines and Clovers 4-H Group, Kris Goos from Pilot Mound says, “It is so awesome to watch the bond being built and trust that is being developed between the kids and their dogs. When they first start agility they are unsure of their abilities or trust that there dogs will do what they ask. As each class ends each youth and their canine partner blossom into a team. It is all worth it when the kids and dogs are having so much fun that both are smiling.” Everyone is invited to come out and watch the 4-H-er’s compete at the Canines and Clovers 1st annual 4-H Dog Agility Trail.

You can show the Bulldogs you’re proud of them by displaying good sportsmanship!
