Local man leads police on chase, is later arrested An Ogden man was arrested and charged with eluding and assault following an incident early last week. Ronnie Paul Dickerson, 50, allegedly threatened an officer with a large knife then led law enforcement officers on a chase that ended in a vehicle rollover with the subject being tasered.

According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, officers responded to a car weaving in and out of the ditch on E-26 north of Ogden around 5:15 p.m. Monday, Sept. 9.

A deputy and Ogden Police of-

ficer located the car. That’s when the subject reportedly pulled a knife then fled the scene in his vehicle.

Dickerson lost control when a tire blew out and rolled into a ditch.

Officers pushed the vehicle back onto its wheels and towed it to the road. Authorities said Dickerson continued to threaten officers, who eventually subdued him with the use of a taser.

Dickerson was taken to Boone County Hospital for treatment of injuries, then transported to Boone County Jail.

NW Fourth Street railroad crossing - one of four crossings involved with the quiet zone project.

City council presented with petition supporting quiet zone There has been a major effort in the community encouraging city officials to move forward with a proposed project that will silence train whistles through town.

The Ogden City Council held its regular meeting Sept. 3. On the agenda was discussion of the proposal to develop a quiet zone for Ogden. Matt Van Sickle of Ogden presented “A petition to the council and mayor of the City of Ogden, Iowa in support of a Quiet Zone in Ogden, Iowa” for a group of Ogden residents interested in implementing a quiet zone. He also presented seven letters in support of a quiet zone signed by business persons.

What is a Quiet Zone?

According to the Federal Rail Administration, a quiet zone is created in a community when the railroads have been directed to cease the routine sounding of horns when approaching public highway-rail grade crossings. The community desiring to establish a quiet zone is required to mitigate the increased risk caused by the absence of a horn with safety improvements that are approved by both the railroad and the FRA. Train horns may still be used in emergency situations or to comply with other Federal regulations or railroad operating rules.

What is Ogden’s Quiet Zone proposal?

Ogden developed the first quiet zone proposal in 2011. A public hearing was held in June 2011. The engineering firm Bolton & Menk was hired to develop a proposal that included safety improvements to quiet the train horns at Ogden’s four railroad crossings. Another public meeting was held in June of 2013 and in response to concerns raised by affected businesses, the plan was modified.

The plan includes installing a non-mountable median, widening of the pavement and new signage at the four crossings, Below is a summary of other changes that would need to be implemented at each location.

NW 7th Street Improvements include: • The north median would be 2 feet wide and 100 feet in length • South median would be only 80 feet in length to allow unimpeded traffic flow on to W. Walnut Street.

• The pavement width will need to widen in areas where the median is installed to accommodate the current traffic demand.

• Curb and gutter should be installed south of this crossing to aid in drainage and access control near the crossing. The curb and gutter improvements will take into account providing access to the lumber yard from NW 7th Street.

• Provide turning improvements for a WB-50 semi-truck/tractor • Add an entrance to the school

bus barn and the lumber yard NW 4th Street The improvements recommended for NW 4th Street include restripping the downtown parking area. Improvements include: • North and south median would be 2 feet wide and 100 feet in length.

The full median length will have minimal impact on traffic while providing a significant positive impact to the safety of the crossing.

• The pavement width will need to widen north of the crossing to allow adequate space for vehicular traffic. The pavement width south of the crossing is sufficient; however, curb and gutter should be installed for a portion south of the crossing to limit access to NW 4th Street near the crossing.

• Re-stripe the parking area south of the crossing to allow for angle parking. The installation of the median in this area will limit the ability to park vehicles using the current configuration. The spacing recommended for the parking will provide the same amount of stalls N 1st Street Improvements include: • South median to be 2 feet wide and 100 feet in length on the south side of the crossing • North median to be 2 feet wide and only 80 feet in length north of the crossing to provide to allow WB50 trucks to enter and exit Locust Street west of 1st Street • Shift the Locust Street approach to the north to line up with the street to the east.

• Widen pavement in areas where the median is installed as much as practical without requiring improvements to rail crossing to accommodate semi truck and farm equipment traffic.

• Remove the west sidewalk, which would contain all pedestrian traffic to the east sidewalk crossing.

This would limit the conflicts with pedestrians at the crossing and reduce construction costs and future maintenance concerns.

NE 3rd Street Improvements include: • South median would be 2 feet wide and 100 feet in length • North median will be only 60 feet in length to allow traffic to utilize NE Locust Street unimpeded.

• Widen pavement in areas where the median is installed to provide adequate room for all types of vehicles currently using this crossing.

• Add a sidewalk on the north side of this crossing to allow pedestrian traffic to cross at this location to contain pedestrian traffic to provide for fewer conflict points and a safer crossing.

Keeping our students safe The Ogden school district staff members gathered last Wednesday afternoon for special violent incident survival training known as ALICE. The goal of the training was to prepare them with knowledge should they be in a situation such as an active shooter scenario.

The school district and local law enforcement conducted mock intruder drills during the 2 1/2 hour training session at the high school after students had left for an early dismissal day.

In light of recent school and workplace shootings, school districts are re-examining the traditional lock-down protocol that takes place when there is a violent situation on the premises. Emphasis is leaning towards taking a more pro-active response.

The Ogden Reporter will be talking with school administrators, local police as well as other participants for a more in-depth story next week.

One scenario during ALICE training at the high school had Police Chief Mick Bailey, pretending to be a gunman, roaming the halls and shooting at people. Discussion ensued about how best to respond in that situation.

Gary Kingham is silver medalist at nat’l. championship Newago, MI hosted the USCA National Canoe & Kayak Championships on the Muskegon River Thursday through Sunday, Aug. 8-11.Competitors were from 16 foreign countries and 38 states.

The course included four miles on Croton Lake a portage over a dam

and re-entering Muskegon River for eight winding miles of downriver rocks and rapids.

Kingham led his Sea Kayak division from the start until the last half mile when a rock damaged his rudder, slowing progress just enough to be overtaken at the finish by 12

seconds.

“I saw this guy coming up on me and we raced ‘boat-to-boat’,” related Kingham. “I tried to sprint to the finish but just couldn’t get any more speed out of the boat. My GPS was reading seven to eight miles per hours. I thought maybe I was tapped

out. After we finished and lifted the boat out I saw the bent rudder and thought ‘oh boy.’ Well there is always next year.”

The following weekend at the nine-mile Great Iowa River Race in Iowa City, Kingham won gold in the Sea Kayak division.

Continued from page one. what are the next steps?

At its September 3 Council meeting, and in response to the petition and the discussion, the Ogden City Council passed a motion “to adopt the Quiet Zone project as a formal goal/proposal, figure cost options and complete the project in 2014”.

The council directed city staff to develop funding options for the next council meeting.

If the council chooses to complete the project, it will need to hire an engineer to finalize a design, apply for necessary permits and oversee construction of safety improvements.

That action could happen as soon as the October Ogden City Council meeting or a meeting on another date selected by the Council.

Ruth’s Reflections

An inspiration

Quiet zone,

by Becky Blair Guest columnist knew i was in for a treat when the prayer before the burial service was this: “We are here today in celebration of this magnificent life so well lived.”

Dr. Sverre Henry Hammer from Ottumwa had passed away.

My memories of Henry went way back to my pre-teen years. I hadn’t been fortunate to spend much time with him since, but I knew his happy Norwegian parents, who, with Becky Blair their thick accents were both proud American Christians. I’ve known his brother, Ron Hammer, well for over 50 years; he’s my brother-in-law.

Theirs is a happy instance of the apple not falling far from the tree.

Throughout the service there were tales of Henry’s love of jokes

i

and laughter. He had an ever present smile and the minister said he not only had a real ‘work ethic’, he was a person who had a ‘joy ethic’ as well. One son spoke of the gifts he’d given his three sons; the importance of working hard (he’d been a dentist for 50 years without missing a day), how to live well (Henry loving Iowa Hawkeyes and even wanting to get to the game just days before his death). He encouraged them to marry well, he and his wife having been happily married 49 years. He even taught them how to die well, showing gratitude for the love of those around him. In fact, even the hospice nurses said their jobs have been forever changed by Henry.

One comment about Henry’s life that inspired me the most was this: “Henry LIVED the golden rule.” In fact there was an instance when one son had asked him what he was working on so diligently. His dad said that he had a patient whose problem he had not been able to fix.

With all of his attempts, he had not been successful, so he was figuring

out how much she spent and he was returning every cent . . . “Then she’ll have it to pay for the person who can help her,” he said.

What an awesome legacy to leave! Yet Henry was an everyday sort of man.

Henry’s life story inspires me to be a better person. In fact, there are many everyday people in my life who are inspirational. I look to them.

I believe it’s a sad state of affairs when suicide bombers are the inspiration for ANYONE. With her song, “It’s My Life I Can Do What I Want To,” Miley Cyrus does not inspire me, nor any supposed celebrity whose belief that bad news is worthy of attention and is, in fact, better than no news at all.

I am rarely impressed by those celebrated in the news.

What if the source of news coming to us was about the everyday characters in our lives? Perhaps it’s the everyday people in our lives who are living with integrity who should be raised to celebrity status.

Hawkeyes win . . . in more ways than one

It was another memorable week here in New Mexico, definitely one for the record books. The entire state received heavy rainfall which wreaked havoc on the land. There were flash floods and road closures due to sink holes, rock and mud slides. Some areas got hit with several inches of rain in less than 24 hours. We went from extreme drought to record setting rains.

I had planned a riding clinic for the weekend with Linda Benedik, author of Yoga for Equestrians. Linda flew in from California on Thursday.

On Friday, the highway south of Taos was closed due to rocks and mud slides. Our riding arena was flooded. As the rain continued to fall, the chances of it drying out for the clinic turned from slim to none. It was pretty dismal.

I was determined that the clinic would go on so I rented the county extension’s indoor arena for the weekend, then spent all day Friday contacting participants and getting the word out about the new clinic location. I was disappointed that we couldn’t ride here at the horse sanctuary, because it meant that we couldn’t ride all the horses we’d planned on having in the clinic due to trailering issues. A friend came over and hooked my threehorse trailer to his truck to take horses over, and I hitched up the two-horse trailer to my truck.

A couple of the horses had not been in a trailer or off the property since we moved here nearly six years ago. There had been no reason to take them anywhere, so they were not used to getting in the trailer, and especially did not want to get in a trailer in the pouring rain early Saturday morning. We managed to get started with the clinic just an hour later, and were back on schedule by the afternoon. It was nice having the indoor arena to ride in, except for the footing. It was very frustrating when Gypsy, the mare I was riding for my lesson, came up sore after stepping on a rock during our ride time.

That night when we went to load the horses at the end of the day, one refused to load. It had been a long, tiring day and I still needed to get home, unload and unpack everything, and feed the herd. She absolutely refused to get in the trailer. Finally we made a chute with a couple panels and drove her in. She hopped right in and then looked at us as if to say she just didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. As we headed for home, the sky turned black and it poured. It rained so hard I could hardly see the road. Huge bolts of lightning lit up the night, and then it started hailing.

We got back, unloaded the horses in the rain and did the night feeding in the rain.

It rained off and on all night. Sunday morning all the turnouts were flooded and there was standing water in the yard. In all the years I’ve lived in Taos, there’s never been rain like this.

I had made arrangements for the Sunday morning session to be filmed for a video of my new mounted lessons for equine-assisted therapy classes.

One of the horses I’d planned to have as a demo horse for the video was the stinker that wouldn’t load in the trailer the night before. I didn’t even try to take her. Instead I took Comet. Comet had not been in a trailer in years, and I’d only ridden her one time, last week, after she’d been laid off with a leg injury since March. She’d never been in the indoor arena.

But she hopped in the trailer with Dustee and off we went. She was a bit nervous, but settled down and was well behaved. The video session went well and I was really proud of her.

It turned out to be a good clinic, despite the less than ideal conditions.

Linda is a superb clinician and teacher, and I was thankful to have gotten the chance to ride with her again. Everyone that rode in the clinic was happy with their lessons, and it was great to see happy horses and happy riders. The sun managed to stay out for most of the day, and there was an amazing rainbow that we all had to go outside to see.

The weekend had not gone as I’d planned and looked forward to, but it was good anyway. At the end, I was exhausted and ready for a good rest.

It must have been really, really good!

Until next time, Ruth B.

Howe elementary school held a contest to see who would win the isU/iowa football game.

Hawkeyes won with donations of 489 items for the Ogden Food Pantry. isU had 401 items donated. According to Leslie Hayes, first grade teacher at Howe school, this total was double what was collected last year during the contest.

The Ogden Middle school also participated

The church of Christ Who are these people?

How do we repent?

I. COME TO A REALIZATION THAT YOUR PATH LEADS TO DESTRUCTION 1. This is what Jesus was seeking to get across, Luke 13:3-5.

2. There is a source of conduct outside of man, Jer. 10:23.

3. Breaking that code of conduct is called sin and it separates us from God, Isa. 59:1-2; Rom. 3:23; Rom. 6:23.

4. The Jews on the day of Pentecost, Acts 2:37.

5. Godly sorrow, 2 Cor. 7:10.

II. SEEK OUT THE CORRECT PATH 1. What shall we do? Acts 2:37.

2. What wilt thou have me to do? Acts 9:6.

3. The need for Bible study. Col. 3:16; 2 Tim. 2:15; 2 Pet. 3:18; Matt. 5:6 III. RESOLVE TO FOLLOW THAT PATH 1. This is the point where repentance comes in.

2. The change of mind causes change of direction, Rom. 6:17-18; 1 Cor. 6:9-11.

3. Saul of Tarsus. Acts 8:3; Acts 22:4; Acts 26:9; Gal. 2:20.

4. To the death, Rev. 2:10.

IV. BRING ABOUT GOOD FRUITS 1. Matt. 3:8; James 2:18 2. Restitution. Luke 19:8-9 1) A thief cannot repent AND keep the stolen goods.

3) A child-napper cannot repent AND keep the stolen child.

4) An adulterer cannot take a wife, repent AND keep the wife God has not authorized.

3. Walking in the light. No repentance in mere words. For one to have repented their direction will have changes. 1 John 1:7-9; John 8:31; Heb. 5:8-9; Rev. 2:10.

4. Labor, Phil. 4:3 See our broadcast on local channel 6 Sundays at 6 pm & Tuesdays, at 7 pm! “In Search of the Lord’s Way”, Sunday at 7:30 am on KCWI, cable Ch. 9!

Try More Than ‘Relief’ For Your Next Headache

by Dr. Rick Elbert, Ogden Doctor of Chiropractic

Of all the so-called triumphs of the pharmaceutical industry, the ‘headache remedy’ is the most dangerous to life and health.

I don’t want to convey the image that headache pills are poison and are in themselves dangerous to life.

However, the less toxic and the more apparently effective remedy is dangerous because it suppresses a symptom, while the trouble caused by the symptom may continue to progress.

Pain, particularly headache pain, is the alarm bell which nature employs to signal ‘FIRE’. Ringing the ‘fire’ alarm never put out the fire.

There are headaches that seem to have a simple cause. The ‘morningafter’ type, for instance. And it usually passes as soon as its cause - a clogged digestive tract - has been cleared.

Other headaches, particularly the chronic or recurring type, will send the careful, intelligent person straight to the Doctor.

The causes of headaches are many. They include digestive, eliminative, kidney and heart troubles, eyestrain, infected tonsils, nerve

pressure from spinal conditions, and sometimes brain trouble itself.

However, in no condition will a headache be eliminated until the

Dr. Rick Elbert

cause has been determined and corrected.

Whatever the cause, the headache symptom should be accepted as a natural bodily warning to seek proper diagnosis and treatment of the problem.

Many individuals seek Chiropractic care both for relief of the headache symptom and for the correction of the underlying cause.

NOBODY COVERS THE BULLDOGS LIKE WE DO!

Bulldogs lose to GC and W-G Ogden volleyball fell to Guthrie Center in three sets, 14-25, 21-25 and 15-25 Tuesday, Sept. 10 at Guthrie Center.

Coach Shannon Zinnell commented that Mallory Melchert had a great match that night both offensively and defensively. “It was her best blocking game of the season with 5 blocks for points while adding six kills. She was a difference maker.”

The freshmen and JV Bulldog teams were both winners.

Ogden was one of seven teams competing in the Webster City Tournament over the weekend.

Watch next week for results. The Bulldogs are at home Tuesday against Des Moines Christian.

Following a rough start to the first set, Ogden impressively pulled together a united front last Thursday at home to challenge Woodward-Granger.

“We were excited to see them play so scrappy defensively,” said Zinnell. “Abby Gustafson had some awesome attacks. The girls chased down balls and worked together to keep the ball off the floor - something we haven’t seen them do as consistently as they did tonight.”

The coach is seeing improvement in their game and the team coming together, but says it was a disappointing three-set loss.

“Unfortunately we made just enough errors to keep us from winning some close sets.”

NOBODY COVERS THE BULLDOGS LIKE WE DO!

Ogden withstands Lions charge Ogden and DM Christian battle it out defensively, Bulldogs win 10-7

by AL TRELOAR

REPORTER SPORTS WRITER

T

hE fOOTbALL fAnS who attended Ogden’s Friday night match-up with the Des Moines Christian Lions probably figured it was going to be a high scoring affair after the two teams traded early scores. That was not to be the case however, as it turned out to be a slugfest by the defenses for field position and the final outcome was decided by a defensive stand and a field goal.

Kolton Christle crashed over the goal line from the 3 the first time the hometown boys had the ball and he added the extra point to give them the early lead. Shortly thereafter the Lions scored a touchdown of their own and it looked to be a shootout.

But the defenses took over from there and Kolton Christle, who scored all of Ogden’s points, kicked a 29 yard field goal with 7:02 to play in the third quarter which proved to be the game winner.

A late defensive stand sealed the 10-7 win. Ogden was led by Austin Lentz who rushed for 124 yards. On the defensive side Henry Haglund played another fine game for the Bulldogs, racking up 21 tackles to lead the team by a wide margin.

“You have to give Des Moines Christian a ton of credit in this one,” said Coach Garrison Carter. “They had a great game plan to stop us and executed it very well. They played with a lot of pride. It was tough to get anything going offensively, and again that credit goes to Des Moines Christian. Our guys did what was necessary to get the win. In the end that is all that matters. Huge game next week at Van Meter. They are playing the best ball of any team in our district right now and they will be tough to slow down.”

Game time next Friday at Van Meter is 7 p.m. first Quarter Ogden kicked off to Des Moines Christian Lion Dillon Bruxvoohrt, who fielded the kick at the 10 and returned it to the 25 yard line. The Lions could not make any headway against the Ogden defense, and were forced to punt after gaining a single yard. Ogden took over on their own 40 and gave the ball to Lentz who broke into the secondary and stampeded 57 yards to the Lion 3 yard line.

On third and goal to go, Christle barreled into the end zone. Then he lined up and kicked the extra point to give the Bulldogs an early 7-0 lead with 7:56 to go in the first.

The Lions started their next series from their own 35 yard line, and this time they were able to put together a drive. Bruxvoohrt ran for 2 first downs and caught a 29 yard pass for another and the Lions had the ball on the 4 yard line. Jackson

Webster punched it in from there and then kicked the extra point to tie the game at 7 with 4:21 to go in the first. The Bulldogs did nothing on offense on the next series but they got a boost when Owen Haberer uncorked a 63 yard punt to pin the Lions back deep. The Lions and the Bulldogs exchanged possessions once more before the quarter ended in a 7-7 tie.

Second Quarter The Lions received a punt and made a couple of first downs before the Ogden defense stiffened. The Dogs were flat on offense again and punted.

The Lions put together a nine play drive and drove to the Ogden 15 yard line before being stopped by the Ogden defense. Jackson Webster attempted a field goal but it fell short and the Bulldogs took over on the 20.

Ogden made a single first down before the Lion defense forced a punt. The Lions took over and drove the ball all the way to the Ogden 17 yard line with seconds to go in the half. Lion quarterback Grant Brockhouse dropped back to pass only to be met by Ogden’s Grant, Heineman that is, who sacked him to end the drive. Jackson Webster’s field goal attempt was short once more and the half ended at 7-7.

Third Quarter Ogden got the ball first to begin the second half and took over at the 40 yard line. Lentz and Christle gained yardage before Caleb Frye broke free for a 25 yard run to the Lion 5 yard line, first and goal.

Things went sour from there however and Ogden was pushed back to the 12. On fourth down Christle let fly a 29 yard field goal that sailed true and Ogden regained the lead 10-7 with 7:02 left in the third.

Ogden’s defense came alive once again and forced yet another punt by the Lions. Ogden and Des Moines Christian became locked in a defensive struggle at the middle of the field, trading the ball back and forth as the quarter ended.

A devastating loss for four boys, three of which attended school at Ogden. The front porch here is thought to be where the fire started.

Young man recounts terrifying experience in house fire F

OuR ROOMMATeS are now looking for a new place to live after the house they were renting outside of Ames went up in flames. Three of the boys were home when the fire was detected near the front door around 5:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 9.

Resident Adam Watts shared the frightening experience with his friends on Facebook.

“They lost everything,” said his mother Diane (Watts) Mitchels “and only one of them had renter’s insurance.” She is hoping by sharing her son’s story that people will understand the importance of having insurance, even if they are not a homeowner.

“Their ultimate goal is to try

and find another house in Boone to rent.” Anyone wishing to donate household items can call Diane at 298-1139 or Sharon Braland (Ryan’s mother) at 275-4149.

Adam’s story Yesterday around 5:20 p.m. I heard screams from Ryan coming from downstairs . . . “OMG the porch is on fire, get out!”

I looked at my window and saw the unthinkable . I ran down as fast as I could to the front door, opened it and all I saw were flames. I yelled for Brad to call 911. I ran to the sink and grabbed a plastic container full of water, threw it at the flames, and by that time the whole front side of our house was up in flames.

The screams, the shouts we were making, the sounds of the flames, is something I cannot get out of my head. I ran to the living room and try opening the window. Fought it for 3o seconds and it wouldn’t budge.

“

It was the saddest thing I ever heard and knowing I couldn’t do anything to help, it killed me. -ADAM WATTS

”

I looked to my right and saw the evergreen bushes go up in flames.

At that point, I knew we were in trouble. I started punching the windows and once it was broke, I used a shoe to clear out the glass.

I screamed for the dogs and started chasing them to get out. Brad had Alice. I had Lou. Brad threw Alice out and jumped out behind her. By this time, the evergreens in front of the window were blazing. The grass, being so dry, was on fire as well.

I yelled for Brad to grab Lou. The heat was so immense he couldn’t come close to the window. I threw Lou onto a spot that was yet to catch fire. I saw he landed safely, turned

around and caught the last glimpse of our house.

I heard glass breaking and knew it was time. I jumped out and ran as fast as I could around the house. I moved my brother’s car away from the house. I hopped out and was crying and screaming for the dogs. Five seconds after that I heard the crying of a dog. The audio will not leave my mind. It was the saddest thing I ever heard and knowing I couldn’t do anything to help, it killed me. I wanted to drop to my knees.

I then was reminded of our LP tank so I had to drive away without either of the dogs.

I met up with the sheriff and roommates a quarter of a mile down the road. I injured my hand and my lungs were a little damaged from the smoke. The First Responder told me they had a dark little wiener dog - my Lou! I felt a sense of relief but not heard about Alice. Today we found out. Unfortunately she did not make it.

We are all broken. We lost everything besides the clothes on our backs. But we are alive. Still able to smile.

I do want people to refrain from putting pictures of Alice on Facebook. We have enough going on and don’t need that reminder. We love all the support and appreciate every one of you. Thank you.

Yours truly, Adam
