Answering the call of duty Former Ogden Police Officer assists in saving a man’s life

Sesquicentennial

1866-2016 NUMBER 24

Now taking orders for Ogden Sesquicentennial book We hope you have been enjoying our series of Sesquicentennial articles. Several of our readers have inquired about us putting the collection together in a single publication.

After talking with our publisher we have decided to see how much interest is out there for a book. Our thoughts were to take orders. If all falls into place we hope to have them printed and delivered in time for Christmas.

In order to proceed with printing, we will need a commitment of 200 pre-orders.

The book will be a compilation of stories celebrating Ogden’s 150 year history. Estimated cost of the bound book will be $28.

M

att Eimers feels his team was successful that cold December day of 2015, even though their subject sustained serious injuries.

“We successfully changed his mindset to get him to a safer location,” said the former Ogden Assistant Police Chief who was recently recognized for his heroism in saving a man’s life.

Eimers served on the Ogden Police force for nine years, from 1992 – 2001. For the past 15 years he has been with the Iowa State Patrol. He currently is assigned to Post 7 out of Fort Dodge, a district serving seven counties.

Trooper Eimers was patrolling Interstate 35 when the call came in.

Fort Dodge police were requesting the assistance of a crisis negotiator.

Eimers was over 30 minutes out, but was the nearest available individual specially trained for these situations.

He was told a very distraught man who was making multiple threats of jumping, was reported on the 2,500’ railroad bridge over the Des Moines River basin near Fort Dodge. When Eimers arrived he saw the subject sitting, with a Bible in his hands.

It was obvious to Eimers the man went out with the intent to commit suicide.

Police Officer Dennis Mernka had been out on the bridge for 30 minutes, talking to the subject. Officer Nathan Eldredge went out to assist.

“They had already established a rapport with the gentleman by the time I arrived,” Eimers told. “He was determined to die.”

Eimers recalled a temperature around 30 degrees and a frosty wind blowing. It had been almost four hours since they first encountered the subject. Eimers described the scene as it unfolded: “Officer Eldredge and I had worked our way towards the subject and he eventually agreed to let us walk him back. (The over 100-yearold double track bridge, towers 188’ at its highest point). About ¾ of the way back, he caught sight of other officers, panicked, and attempted to jump from the north side where no safety railing was present. He started fighting with us. I lost my balance and fell partially through the railroad ties. As I regained my balance, the subject started to run back (further out onto the bridge).

Nate tackled him just as he started to go over. Everything happened so fast. The weight of the gentleman was starting to pull Nate over, but he was determined not to let go. I jumped on Nate and pinned him down so he wouldn’t fall off. Lt. Mernka jumped on as well.”

By that point Eimers said the subject was hanging upside down from the tracks. “We were grabbing his clothing, trying to pull him up, but as we pulled, he began sliding out of his jogging pants and fell.”

Not only had the man fallen 50 feet, he landed on another railroad line directly below the bridge.”

Eimers continued: “We saw him moving, ran to the edge of the railroad trestle and slid down the near vertical, dirt embankment towards the subject. That’s when we saw another train coming.” (Although trains had been halted on the rails

MATT EIMERS Iowa State Patrol Trooper above the railroad – another line - on the lower tracks had not been notified of the situation).

“As I grabbed him and began pulling him back off the tracks, Nate started waving at the oncoming train. Fortunately, it was only moving about 10 mph through town and was able to stop in time.”

The subject had survived the fall, but according to Eimers had sustained severe open fractures to his legs and hips.

It’s been almost a year since that harrowing incident. “Erie,” is how Eimers remembers it. “He was just waiting for the wind to blow him off the bridge. His mind was set. He wanted to die.”

But all-in-all, that was a good day in Eimers’s mind. “Preservation of life is our goal. We always hope for a safe resolution, one where we don’t have to use violence.” We’re not always successful, though.” Those are the difficult times he’ll not likely forget.

become attached, like family. You do everything you can to make sure they (the subjects) go home at night, and the officers go home as well.”

What they did last December was at the expense of three officers almost getting killed.

Eimers was notified around five months ago about his being nominated for the Sullivan Brothers Award, the highest award issued to a police officer or fireman. Officers Eldredge and Mernka, too, would receive notification. An investigative committee forwarded their reports to the Sullivan Brothers Committee who reviewed all the facts. Their names were then sent to Gov. Branstad for final approval.

Three peace officers and four firemen stood in the Iowa State Capitol Rotunda Wednesday, Oct. 5 of 2016, surrounded by their families, and proudly accepted their Medals of Valor. Two other individuals were recognized as Historic Valor Award recipients for their actions in previous years.

“I was very honored and humbled,” said Eimers, who had previously earned honors while serving in the military, but nothing of this caliber. “Officers do heroic things on a daily basis. I’ve been in law enforcement almost 25 years and saw a lot of heroic acts by guys I worked with, who didn’t get nominated. But they were just as deserving.”

At the Award of Valor Ceremony, Iowa State Patrol Lt. Kelly Hindman praised their efforts. “The teamwork and selflessness displayed by all three of these men is remarkable.

This type of heroism and bravery is not simply implicit in police officers.

It is a part of who each of them is as a person,” said the District Commander. “Their willingness to risk their own lives to save a troubled man . . . and one another . . . is worthy of the highest praise.”

The Board of Directors of the McGraw Senior Center announced that they are beginning a capital fundraising campaign to save the former Ogden Theatre marquee.

Time and elements have taken a toll on the local mainstreet landmark.

It’s hoped that through fundraising, this piece of history can be saved and secured for years to come.

“We all have fond memories of

Matt and his wife Dawn currently reside in Webster City.

Sullivan Brothers’ Award of Valor The Sullivan Brothers’ Award of Valor is awarded to peace officers and firefighters who, while serving in an official capacity, distinguished themselves by the performance of an heroic act in excess of normal demands of police or fire service where the person was fully aware of the threat to his/her personal safety.

Story behind the Sullivan Brothers The Award is named in honor of the five Sullivan brothers of Waterloo, Iowa.

The World War II sailors who, serving together on the USS Juneau (CL-52), were all killed in action on its sinking around November 13, 1942. As a direct result of the Sullivans’ deaths (and the deaths of four of the Borgstrom brothers within a few months of each other two years later), the U.S. War Department adopted the Sole Survivor Policy.

The Sole Survivor Policy or DoD Directive 1315.15 “Special Separation Policies for Survivorship” describes a set of regulations in the Military of the United States that are designed to protect members of a family from the draft or from combat duty if they have already lost family members in military service.

County Commissioner of Elections promotes pre-registration for the 2016 General Election BOONE - Boone County Auditor and Commissioner of Elections Philippe E. Meier is encouraging those who wish to vote in the 2016 General Election Nov. 8 to register early if they are not already registered or if they have moved and need to update their address since the last time they voted.

In order to vote in the 2016 General Election, a voter must be registered. Voters may register on Election Day. However, Meier encourages voters to get registered before Saturday, Oct. 29 at 5 p.m. to avoid extra paperwork at the polling site on Election Day. “Our precinct election officials are ready to assist any voter who needs to register on Election Day,” Meier said. “However, it’s a much easier process if a voter registers before the Oct. 29 deadline.”

A voter can still register after the Oct. 29 deadline, but the voter will need more identification. Voters who vote absentee at the Auditor’s Office after the Oct. 29 deadline or those who plan to register on Election Day at their polling location will need to show proof of identity and proof of residence. Acceptable proofs for identification must contain a photo and include:

• Iowa driver’s license or nonoperator ID • Out-of-state driver’s license or non-operator ID • US passport • US military ID card • Employer ID card • Student ID card from high school or college All forms of ID must be current and valid and contain an expiration date.

Proof of residency can be accomplished with: • Residential lease • Property tax statement • Utility bill • Bank statement • Pay check • Government check • Other government document Voters may cast an absentee ballot at the Boone County Auditor’s Office during normal business hours of 8 am. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The office will also be open the two Saturdays prior to Election Day, which would be Oct. 29 and Nov. 5 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For more information about the 2016 General Election, contact the Boone County Auditor’s Office at 515-433-0502.

Election Day is Nov. 8.

Looking eastward down Walnut Street.

Crowds gather and watch the paving process in 1929.

Ogden’s Main street How it looked when the Lincoln Highway was paved in 1929

by THOMAS J. KIEFFER The Lincoln Highway was paved through Ogden in 1929. This was probably one of the most exciting events that had taken place in Ogden for many years. As we look back at pictures of vehicles stuck in muddy roads, it is easy to imagine why the residents of Ogden were enthused. (Following is a news article that appeared in The Ogden Reporter just after the project was completed).

City of Ogden opened Lincoln Highway on Friday The last few blocks of the 1929 paving project for Boone County was opened last Friday evening by the paving contractor’s superintendent, Mr. Kellogg. This stretch completed the work and now leaves Boone County with a paved stretch of highway from the Greene County line east on No. 30, the Lincoln Highway, to a point about three and one fourth miles east of Ogden.

Many local county people were out driving over the new pavement Sunday and several have voiced their opinion of satisfaction concerning the new improvement. The paving in Ogden practically makes a new town here and certainly increases the neatness of the city.

Everyone is highly pleased with

the work and have nearly forgotten the inconveniences caused by the construction.

The shoulders on the side of the pavement are practically completed. This leaves the entire project nearly finished and this side of the county a good strip of paving.

century. A copy of the 1929 directory was copied and the project was full speed ahead.

Discussion of this project with Morris Sherbring, long time automobile dealer in Ogden, provided many of the missing identifications. “Sherb” had begun working

During the Sesquicentennial Year many different questions about Ogden’s history were discussed.

Connie Rudy published an excellent book in 2016, “Downtown Ogden Past and Present,” describing the history of early day businesses on Ogden’s Main Street.

This writer had previously produced an article dealing with the paving in 1929. A few minor corrections were made based upon Rudy’s book. The map of Walnut Street (Main Street) was re-drawn and attached. The reader might be interested in some of the events leading to the first article.

The first task was to search through a collection of early maps of Ogden. A fire insurance map of the business district in 1930 was located. Some businesses were clearly identified and others were rather vague, but this was a start in the right direction.

Just by chance, a visit was made to the Ogden Telephone Company in hopes that they may have some records from that era. Manager Gerald Anderson was most helpful.

Not only did he provide information, but even more unbelievable was their collection of early phone books dating back to the turn of the

on Ogden’s main street in 1932.

He worked part-time while still in school for the Claussen Auto & Battery Co. In the course of searching out names of businesses, other individuals were mentioned who also might have information.

These individuals gathered to share

their memories and experiences.

Included were Bob Jones, Warren Christensen, Jack Crosman, Carl Nebbe and Sherbring.

Carl Nebbe had worked on the crew that paved the Lincoln Highway in 1929. This work was just prior to Carl going on the road with

Ogden Main Street in 1871.

This moment in Ogden’s history is sponsored by:

this orchestra in 1930.

Bob Jones had worked on main street as a youngster.

His mother operated the Home Café which was located on the now vacant lot just west of Peoples Trust & Savings Bank. One of the most interesting events in the preparation of the original story was that Bob could remember several phone numbers for early businesses. In checking the old phone directory, he was absolutely correct in the numbers that he recalled.

The group was not in total agreement as to the time the post office moved from the north side of Walnut (Main Street) to the south side, but they believed this occurred sometime during 1930.

A few businesses and professional persons were identified and their locations included. Dr. Ganoe’s office was located above C.R. Anderson’s Store. Dr. Cooper also had his office in this building in Block 43.

Schneider Photography was located above the C. H. Anderson Clothier in Bock 44.

In 1929 there were two telephone systems serving Ogden and the surrounding area. The Marcy Mutual Telephone Co. was located above the Bindseil Drug in Block 44. The Boone County Telephone Co. was located above the Nebbe grocery store in Block 53. This made it necessary for some businesses to have two telephone lines.

The Ogden Reporter is the only business in Ogden still operating under the same name and in the same locations as in 1929.

Ruth’s Reflections I had a mini vacation last week. I think. Actually it was more like a trip through the twilight zone.

It’s been a bit of a rough year for me and my family, to put it mildly.

After my mother died in February, my older brother began treatment for throat cancer. The chemo and radiation were not successful, and his health has steadily declined. It’s scary and sad to see how quickly cancer can take hold of a person and bring them down.

My younger brother suffered a massive head injury in June and has been in and out of the hospital several times this past summer with complications from that. His short term memory is affected and he forgets to take his meds and gets confused and misses doctor appointments. He needs help. I debated whether to head east to Iowa to visit my older brother, or go west to help out my younger brother. My older brother has a wife and kids who are there to be with him, so I opted to go to see my younger brother, who lives in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas is not my idea of a vacation place at the best of times. I’ve been there several times over the nearly 30 years that my brother has lived

there and have enjoyed it, but I get tired quickly of the casinos, the traffic, the noise, the crowds.

I dreaded this visit, but it was good to see Joe. He’s having a tough time, but he’s still my baby brother. Vegas was as crazy as I remembered it. I didn’t want to try driving in that city, so we took cabs and the bus everywhere. I think I saw the entire city. From one doctor at the far north end, to the hospital on the east side and treatment center, and everything in between. He’d lost his ID cards, so we spent hours at DMV getting a new ID card. It was exhausting and heartbreaking, seeing him so helpless and how much care he needed.

It cost over $60 to take a cab from the hotel to the doctor’s office, one way, so we took a bus back after his appointment late Friday afternoon. That was quite the adventure. The 45 minute cab ride took close to an hour and a half by bus. As we got close to the center of the city, it was getting dark and the bus was filling up with homeless people. Friday night in Vegas.

Not pretty.

An older lady in a wheelchair boarded with her two granddaughters and

sat opposite us on the bus. As we drove through the city, she was pointing out all the flashy lights and sites to the little girls, who were squealing with excitement. I was hanging onto my seat, nearly pushed off by a homeless guy’s huge duffle bag. I watched those two little girls, thinking how depressing it was to see that this is what they were being shown for entertainment, these young impressionable kids. I thought about the smiles and squeals of delight from the kids who came to my horse sanctuary and get to ride a horse for the first time, or pet a donkey. I thought how sad it was that not all kids are so lucky. Kids shouldn’t be riding a bus in Vegas for entertainment. I know that there are some amazing shows that are age appropriate for children and families in Vegas, but I could see that these were not in this grandmother’s budget.

Joe had to have some medical tests done, and since I was only going to

RUTH’S REFLECTIONS -continued on page three.

The Ogden Reporter, Wednesday, October 12, 2016 - PAGE THREE Letter to the editor:

Give thought to who you are voting for to the editor: I have run across some shocking information that could change America as we know it today.

You have probably heard of the Koch brothers and other multi-billionaires that have funneled hundreds of millions of campaign dollars to the presidential, congressional and gubernatorial politicos willing to embrace their self-serving agenda, few know of their equally self-serving push to bend whole state governments their way.

The Kochs are dominant players in all things ALEC:

To keep watch on the front group, the Kochs placed their own lobbyist on the ALEC’s corporate board.

There are at least five Koch funded groups in the ALEC. They include: Americans for Propserity, State Policy Network, Heartland Institute, Mercatus Center and the Texas Public Policy Foundation (also known as “Greg Abbotts brain”).

Oktoberfest - what a fun time for all Spelling Bee results It was a gorgeous day and there was a great turn-out with 31 participants in this year’s spelling bee at Oktoberfest.

A certificate of participation and a bag full of fall goodies were given to each participant. In addition, the top three winners were given a ribbon and cash awards. 1st place - $20, 2nd place - $10 and 3rd place - $5.

Winners are listed below in order of 1st, 2nd, 3rd: First grade: Gracie Christensen, Olivia Schmidt, Trinity Stoneburner Second grade: Alena Wilson, Clara Kruse Third grade: Maliyah Sundell, Gavin Siler, Anna Wilson Fourth grade: Jack Downey, Owen Bergstrom, Brynn Farris Fifth grade: Jason Venard, Madalynn Morgan, Jaydan Jeppesen Sixth grade: Hunter Wisecup, Alex Wilson, David Hammer Seventh grade: Tyler Kathman

Cast Your Kernel Poll results:

In the past 14 years, two secretive “dark money” funds - Donors Trust and Donors Capital Fund - used by the brothers to pour more money into the ALEC.

The Koch’s ALEC, and their corporate cohorts have laid siege to our state governments. They have launched a massive, coordinated maneuver to conquer the country side. Also, they’re concentrating on only a half dozen U.S. Senate races this year. They have deployed 1,600 paid political staffers into 38 states to drive election and policy campaigns.

Donald Trump - 38 Hillary Clinton - 28

In January, the Kochs and ALEC revealed to a startled nation that Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has penned not one, but nine new amendments to the Constitution of the USA. Forget the Bill of Rights. Abbott is proposing a Bill of Sale, effectively transferring the title of our national government from the people to the plutocrats. The plutocrats would be outlawing government actions that restrain corporate abuse of workers and consumers, while also preventing future congresses from meeting crucial public needs such as health care, voter rights and restoration of our national infrastructure.

It takes 34 states to convene an Article V Convention. Conservative activists have already passed resolutions in 28 states to do exactly that.

With only a half dozen or so needed, the ALEC/KOCHS consortium is presently targeting 11 other states, including six with Republican control of their state government.

We have to get aggressively progressive to confront and defeat the Koch heads in our states.

So do your homework! If the person running for office is in the pocket of the Kochs and their backers, don’t vote for them.

Please save America for future generations. God bless America.

Letter to the editor:

A suggestion to our legislators: come visit our classrooms to the editor: Let me start out by saying I commend Senator Chuck Grassley for his getting to every county in Iowa at least once a year to connect with the people he represents. His recent visit to Boone to visit with Fareway managers noted.

That being said and setting aside the fact that over the last several years the Federal Government has accomplished not much, I want to issue a challenge to Gov. Branstad and our state legislators, especially Senator Jerry Behn, and Representative Chip Baltimore from Boone County.

Over much of the last several years much has been made about education in Iowa. Especially about starting dates and financing Iowa schools.

Governor Branstad vetoed legislation for an education bill in Iowa that supported salary increases as well as program support for schools and the Legislature and Governor have refused to look at the way schools are financed.

A few simple questions I would like to ask: How many times has Senator Behn or Representative Baltimore come to the schools in their county to actually see what is happening in those classrooms? Not to meet with the school administrators or school board members on Legislative Day, but actually come into a classroom to see what teachers are doing; not to address the government classes to talk about civic duty of new and upcoming voters, but watch a math teacher, English teacher, foreign language teacher working with the students, and observe the struggles they may be experiencing as a teacher or student.

I don’t mean they need to have an administrator following them to tell them what the schools need, but to see what actually happens in a classroom. For that matter, why can’t all legislators do this? It may broaden their legislative mind when it comes to funding discussions later.

I have spent some time looking at the job descriptions of our legislators (according to the Legislative Services Agency). Here is what it says: • Propose, studying, discussing and voting on legislation • Appropriate money to state agencies and programs.

• Creating, eliminating and modifying Iowa laws.

Representing: • Serving constituents living in each district • Function as liaison between citizens of Iowa/Government Evaluating: (see above) • Overseeing I’m not trying to be critical of either individual and I could care less about their party affiliation. Both Mr. Behn and Mr. Baltimore live in one of the school districts in this county. With only two other districts in the county, it would really seem doable for them to visit each of the other two districts one time a year to see what goes on in a classroom. Not to visit with superintendents about finance, but be in the classroom.

Looking at all that the Legislature requires educators to do in a classroom, it seems small in comparison for them to make a yearly visit to all school districts in the District they represent to visit classrooms. It doesn’t count if you come to Government class to talk to kids about voting.

Don’t talk to me about time or lack of. I have just spent the last 39 years in education and no one has given concern to educators about lack of time.

If you intend to make informed decisions about education come watch teachers work, watch children learn, look into their needs.

Don’t assume that all school districts in Iowa are the same. We are not; but all do care about educating your children, our children, Iowa’s children.

Take a look at what the Legislative Services Agency states as your job description. For the past 40 years the legislative body has held me responsible for my end, now I’m holding you responsible.

Ruth’s Reflections continued from page two. be there a couple days we had to go to the emergency room for that. Saturday night in an ER in Vegas is not something I’d recommend. We spent hours there, waiting while more important emergencies were dealt with. Like teenagers coming in from drug overdoses. It was like one of those dramatic TV shows. Lots of emergency patients, hospital short staffed.

I’d booked my hotel room for my stay at the South Point and timed my visit with the World Cup Andalusian horse show. I’d hoped to catch some of the show that weekend also. Joe and I did get to see a few classes but not enough to make it worth the effort. It was a busy, intense trip. Two days traveling, two days in Vegas. I did not spend a dime in a slot machine, didn’t even think about gambling, even though it was all around me.

When I got home I was emotionally and mentally exhausted. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to live in a place like that. It was so wonderful to see blue skies again, breath fresh clean air, be surrounded by silence. Relative silence, that is. The sound of the donkeys braying, the horses neighing, the neighbors’ dogs barking, birds singing was all music to my ears. No cars honking, no bus and car exhaust fumes, no slot machines clanging away. Home, sweet, home!

I felt like I’d been gone for weeks, not just a few days. I had plenty of time during my trip to think about life choices. I avoid traveling, but after I recovered from my trip I was glad I had gone. It gave me a new appreciation of my life here and a new perspective. I’m thankful for the choices I have made that have brought me to this place, and this lifestyle. I had met some very nice people in Las Vegas, but one of the things that Joe talked about was how hard it is to make lasting friends in a city like that. I can see why. And I am thankful that there are kind and caring people everywhere, as I say my prayers for my brothers and count my blessings.

Until next time, Ruth B

Happy Birthday!

Come help us celebrate a surprise 80th birthday party for Roy Stockman on Sunday, Oct. 16, 2016 at Zion Lutheran Church, Ogden.

When we talk about “spirituality,” there are often two very distinct (and conflicting) perspectives; the human view and the heavenly view. The human view is subjective, changing from person to person, as we individually try to describe what makes us “feel” spiritual. The heavenly view is objective, measured for all men alike by the characteristics revealed in God’s word.

Let’s note that anyone who is truly “spiritual” will worship God according to what the Bible says, not according to his own personal likes or dislikes. Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4:24 that “true worshippers” will worship “in spirit and in truth,” and this means worshipping in submission to God’s directions rather than “charting our own course.” Part of our carrying out this mandate is participating regularly, with other saints (of like mind), in worship assemblies, Hebrews 10:25. Another part of worship “in spirit and truth” is continuing in the apostles’ teaching, communion, and fellowship, Acts 2:42. Likewise, singing and making melody “in our hearts, unto the Lord, giving thanks in all things” is also part of our worship to God, Ephesians 5:18-20. Therefore, we must point out that one who refuses to worship regularly, or refuses to worship according to God’s pattern, or refuses to worship from the heart, is not someone whom God would describe as a “spiritual” person.

Finally, we should emphasize that the truly spiritual person trusts in God’s grace and bears the fruit of the Spirit, Romans 4:16 and Galatians 5:22-23.

His obedience springs from a loving heart, because he understands that he cannot atone for himself (John 3:16; Rom. 5:8; and Heb. 2:9). He “puts to death” the deeds of the flesh, and follows the Spirit’s teaching (Romans 8:12-14), striving all the while to keep himself “unspotted from the world” (James 1:27).

In short, the truly “spiritual” person knows God will reward the faithful (2 Peter 1:5-11), and therefore he lives an obedient life, depending on the grace of God, according to His word. One who thinks these things somehow violate or “nullify” the grace of God a) doesn’t understand His grace, and b) is not “spiritual,” according to what God has said!

We invite you to come search for the Truth with us!

See “In Search of the Lord’s Way”, Sunday at 7:30 am on KCWI, cable Ch. 9!

We would like to invite you to worship with us at 502 W. Walnut!

OHS Class of 1952 reunites to celebrate

FALL POETRY Neighbors in October

BY DAVID BAKER

All afternoon his tractor pulls a flat wagon with bales to the barn, then back to the waiting chopped field. It trails a feather of smoke.

Down the block we bend with the season: shoes to polish for a big game, storm windows to batten or patch.

And how like a field is the whole sky now that the maples have shed their leaves, too.

It makes us believers—stationed in groups, leaning on rakes, looking into space. We rub blisters over billows of leaf smoke. Or stand alone, bagging gold for the cold days to come.

Sunday: Church service is at 10 a.m. Everyone welcome.

The church of Christ, Who are these people?

I was perhaps the worst student you have ever seen. You know, I thought I was stupid, all my classmates thought I was stupid, so there was general agreement.

- Ben Carson

Brian Reimers named Community Superhero VisionBank has been in search of community superheroes who share the company purpose of encouraging and supporting the organizations that meet the needs of others in our community, fostering future growth, and enhancing the area we live, work and play. They are committed to helping those who improve the quality of life for our community at large.

As a part of their mission, they have instituted a “Community Superhero Contest” with the purpose of ‘shining the light on the unsung heroes’ - those who selflessly support Ogden in a number of ways.

Brian Reimers was chosen for this honor Sept. 28 as a result of a nomination process established by the bank.

As stated in his nomination for this award: Brian has been Ogden wrestling coach and athletic director for a number of years. He has given a great amount of time to the Ogden students over the years. One example has been his dedicated work with OHS Senior Trip which takes our students to New York

City/Washington D.C. areas with multiple stops along the way. He has worked to ensure all senior students are able to take this trip by removing any barriers that would prevent them from doing so.

Reimers also serves on the Ogden City Council. He gives hours of service to the community through volunteer time to ensure the community remains a vibrant and active community for all of us residing here.

You can find Brian working a lot of different places such as trimming trees and bushes at the Leonard Good Center, helping with community clean up days, manning a grill at a school concession stand, and being a champion for our kids in the community. He is a true giver.

Reimers was awarded his certificate and $250 check.

Brian was able to choose a charity as well, and an award of $250 was given to the Ogden Food Pantry .

Brian also graciously said he did not want the $250 that was awarded to him personally, he chose to give that to the Ogden Bulldog Builders.

We fully suppport our law enforcement!

Headache pain is an everyday fact of life for millions of Americans.

Add to these the additional millions who suffer from backaches, stiff necks, arms or legs, rheumatism or arthritis and you have some idea of why Americans pay out $480 million each year for aspirin. That’s nearly half a billion dollars, buys 25 tons of pain relief every day of the year.

If people would only realize they have about as much chance of being permanently rid of their pain with aspirin as they have winning the shell game at the local carnival!

Perhaps even less, since the shell game operator may let a player win now and then just to make it look good.

Even the label on the aspirin bottle says ‘for temporary relief.’ It holds out no promise of permanent relief or a permanent cure. Most labels further warn, ‘if pain persists, see your doctor.’

Yet people fail to heed that warning. Could it be because they fail to understand that every pain, no matter how minor or severe, is really a warning that something else is wrong in the body?

Headaches are not an illness in themselves, but are indicative of other problems. In many cases of

headache pain, it has been shown that the actual cause of the pain is a pinched nerve in the cervical (neck) vertebrae. No amount of aspirin or other pain relievers will correct a pinched nerve condition. They will merely mask the pain and lull the victim into a false sense of well-being.

T h e headache victim will never be truly rid of the pain until proper nerve function has been restored. Since pinched nerves are the result of misaligned vertebrae, many headache victims are running to their Doctors of Chiropractic for help. The Chiropractic adjustment is designed to restore the vertebrae to their proper alignment, thus allowing nerve energy to flow uninterrupted from the brain to all parts of the body.

Correction of the cause of a health problem, not temporary relief, is the Chiropractic goal.

Protect Yourself, Protect Others Safe Options for Home Needle Disposal

A

44-year-old trash collector was stuck in the leg with a needle from someone’s trash. A year later, he started having stomach pains. His doctor told him that he had caught Hepatitis C, probably from being stuck by the needle.

Doctors have not been able to help him, and he is now in chronic liver failure. He will likely die from this disease.

Traveling with Needles Don't forget, safe needle disposal is important no matter where you are—at home, at work, or on the road. Never place used needles in the trash in hotel rooms, on airplanes, or in public restrooms, where they could injure the clean­ ing staff or other people.

Sharps and Air Travel Before you fly, check the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Web site (www.tsa.gov) for up-to-date rules on what to do with your needles when you travel.

To make your trip through airport security easier, make sure your medicines are labeled with the type of medicine and the manufacturer's name or a drug store label, and bring a letter from your doctor.

Be prepared—ask about options for safe needle disposal when you make travel reservations, board an airplane, or check into a hotel or cruise ship.

If you aren't sure that needle contain­ ers will be available where you're going, be sure to buy a needle contain­ er that you can take with you to hold your used needles until you can throw them away the right way.

It’s not just trash workers who are at risk of needle sticks—it’s also your neighbors, children, janitors, housekeepers, and pets.

That’s why used needles should not be thrown in the garbage.

Why are used needles dangerous?

Used needles and lancets are

dangerous because they can:

NOBODY COVERS THE BULLDOGS LIKE WE DO!

Volleyball team poised to set school record

by AUSTIN KREBER

REPORTER SPORTS WRITER

The OHS volleyball team hit a new very significant mark, tying the most wins in school history with 13. That came after two 3-0 wins over West Central Valley Stuart, and Colo-Nesco. Ogden has been on a tear since the start of September, winning 10 out of their last 11 games over that span. Ogden’s senior night is Tuesday against Des Moines Christian. You are invited to celebrate with the seniors who have helped create this special season.

Also, you could witness win number 14 that night which would be a new school record. Ogden plays on Thursday at Woodward-Granger.

Ogden 3 - West Central Valley Stuart 0 Ogden didn’t play the cleanest of games but still was able to cruise to a 3-0 win with a couple of tight sets.

In the first set, Ogden squeaked ahead 26-24. After that they had another close one, prevailing 25-22.

The third set was more comfortable for Ogden, finishing 25-15. Ogden probably could have won by a bigger margin if not for several errors.

First off, Ogden struggled attacking the net. They were very sloppy with an 8.9% efficiency rate. They officially had 23 kills to 15 errors which isn’t the best rate. Typically Ogden has a much better efficiency and less errors so this was just an

aberration on what has been an amazing season.

Ogden also didn’t serve the ball very cleanly. They had an efficiency of 84.9% which is below the 90% they are aiming for. Their serving wasn’t all bad though, they did end up with 10 aces which is something they have consistently gotten better and better at as the season has gone by.

The Bulldogs were once again very good on defense. They didn’t have too many digs compared to some of their other games, but 27 is still a good number. They also had 11 blocks which is something they have also improved on by quite a bit as the season has gone on.

Overall, this wasn’t the cleanest of games, but good teams don’t always win the prettiest of ways. Even if it wasn’t a typical Ogden volleyball performance, they found a way to win, and a win is a win.

Ogden 3 - Colo-Nesco 0 Ogden reached 13 wins with a 3-0 victory over Colo-NESCO, tying the OHS record for volleyball wins in a season.

It was an efficient day for them on offense and defense, with quite a bit of blocks and not too many errors on offense, leading them to the 3-0 win. They won the sets 2522, 25-11, and 25-18. It was a pretty comfortable win.

Ogden had a great day serving.

They had an efficiency of 91.4% and

They also had a good defensive effort. They had 27 digs and 9 blocks. 3 of those blocks were inef-

ficient. It is interesting to go back and see the uptick of blocks. Ogden didn’t have more than 8 blocks in any of their first 13 games. They have had 9 or more in the last 5.

That’s a crazy increase and one reason why Ogden has been such a successful team. You can really see

the improvement.

This win puts Ogden at 13-6.

Already you can consider this one of the most successful teams in Ogden’s volleyball history. It will be awesome to see what they do in the next couple of games and in the tournaments to follow.

-Football photos by T.R. Photography

The Ogden High School football team fought valiantly but eventually fell to South Hamilton 42-21 in Ogden last Friday night.

Ogden tried to get past their recent slump but couldn’t quite get over the hump. There were some positive to take away from this game though. One of them is that the offense found the most success since their first game. Ogden scored 33 points that first game but has failed to eclipse since then. That changed against South Hamilton as they were able to tack on another touchdown.

Also, Ogden again showed some improvements on defense. After giving up 48-plus points in four straight games, the past two weeks they have held the opponents below 45. That started with only giving up 35 to West Central Valley Stuart and now only 42 against South Hamilton.

Ogden is now sitting at 1-6 with an away game against Eagle Grove coming up this Friday. Eagle Grove is also 1-6 so Ogden will be looking to get their second win of the season.

Ogden has shown some improvements on both sides of the ball so if they continue i they will have a good chance to win!

Work Injury Claim is Going?

Each year thousands of Iowans are hurt at work, but many are not treated properly by the insurance company because they fail to learn about their rights. A New Book reveals the Injured Workers Bill of Rights which includes: 1. Payment of Mileage at $.54 per mile 2. Money for Permanent Disability, 5 Things to Know Before Signing Forms or Hiring an Attorney and much more. The book is being offered to you at no cost because since 1997, Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker has seen the consequences of client’s costly mistakes. 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.
