new Presenting: “The Gospel According to Scrooge” Ogden’s ambassadors -

The Blue Coats

BY KATHY PIERCE

REPORTER STAFF WRITER

It is amazing when you think how a rural Iowa church that averages a Sunday attendance of 102 can continually pull together an amazing musical performance. Bethel Church will take the stage again Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 2, 3 and 4 for their 16th holiday presentation of “The Gospel According to Scrooge.” A musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol,” “The Gospel According to Scrooge” reveals the spiritual transformation of the miserly Scrooge.

The group’s first performance was in 1983 and they have consistently put on a show nearly every other year since that time.

The cast and crew of approximately 52, ranging in age from five to 80-plus years, began practicing in late September.

They were in full dress while rehearsing Sunday, Nov. 6. Opening with carolers gathering to a medley of Christmas songs, this musical stage production will immediately put you in the holiday spirit.

Garry Gardner plays the part of Scrooge, taking over for Pastor Ray Hoke who retired in June 2016.

What keeps drawing them back?

According to Director Cassie Henriksen, it is the togetherness.

“The production helps to bring our congregation together as a family.

Although it has become increasingly difficult to get people to commit to such a large amount of time, in the end, they all feel it is worth it. Many in this group have been doing it for several years.”

Carol Erickson began going to Bethel Church in 1982 and in her words has been doing performances “since forever to eternity.” She has scaled down her participation. This year Erickson says she is one of the Peacock sisters and will be in the finale.

In the past she dressed as a wild bird, one of the three scavengers who torment Scrooge by plucking away at his clothes and bedding during a bad dream.

“I love that part,” says Erickson.

“It’s hilarious and always gets a lot of laughs. It’s so much fun, but as I am getting older, I can’t do all the movements of the bird.”

Duanna Thompson is another longtime participant, having been with the “Scrooge” production for 30 years in varying roles. “I’ve been middle Belle twice, one of the orphanage women, the maid several times, and a bird several times,” says Thompson. She, like Erickson, enjoys playing a bird.

Performance times are 7 p.m.

Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m.

Sunday.

Ogden business representatives were invited to an informal get together at the City Hall Thursday, Nov. 10 to get information about a proposed organization for ‘Blue Coats’ which would be part of the Boone County Ambassadors. This group would act as the ‘Red Coats’ have for the past several years. The purpose is to celebrate this county we live in, recognizing new positions, new employees, new owners; ground breaking opportunities, and other milestones. This group would meet once a month for a very short meeting, its purpose to pull together the group to decide potential celebrations, to provide a key connection with each other.

Kris Blocker, who works with the Boone County Chamber of Commerce with member services, promotions & marketing, and Robin Good, a long time member of the Red Coat Ambassadors, gave business representatives the specifics of becoming a member. There is a $130/year expense to join the chamber, you must purchase a blue coat, and be willing to meet once a month for a short meeting.

Good said, “We’re growing! We need to shine! We want to recognize those who are making a difference in our town.”

How enrollment is impacting our facilities

by BECKY BLAIR

REPORTER STAFF WRITER

The official school enrollment for Ogden Community Schools is 629 for this year, 2016-2017. That figure represents a drop in enrollment of 144 students since the 2004 enrollment of 773. With per/ student funding from the state at $6,591/year, the budgeted income has been impacted over the years by $949,104.

For this year specifically, we are down 7 resident students plus 1.8 open enrolled out students. We are also down 4.7 open enrolled in students. Our kindergarten student numbers of 36 tie for the smallest class in the district. The final budget impact on this enrollment drop is a loss of $64,831 this year.

Since 2009 the reduction

in expenditures has been over $1,000,000. “The board has run out of ideas for where to cut the budget,” says Supt. Dr. Tim Hoffman.

Our schools are not overstaffed, in fact we are on the low side of comparable districts. With 80% of the budget going towards salaries and benefits, cuts have been made there. At the same time board decisions have tried to keep in mind that they want to minimize impact on students and we must maintain competitive wages in order to attract and retain quality staff.

Because of the reduction of students to our district, the Facilities Committee was established to study recommendations made by Iowa Schoolhouse Construction & Planning Services earlier this year. The goal of the facilities committee was

to recommend to the school board what we should do in regards to downsizing building space.

The fact that we have significantly reduced school enrollment while maintaining the same amount of buildings, creates a real problem.

Downsizing from three buildings to two would reduce 20,000 square feet. The estimated savings to the district is $174,000. This comes from utilities, repairs, maintenance and staff. It is also estimated that sooner or later, to keep Howe Elementary School open will require nearly $2,000,000 in upgrades.

The recommendation of this committee was to close Howe Elementary School, plan modifications to the middle school, move the elementary there, and move the middle school program to the

high school. The committee would, however, like a better cost estimate to compare the expense of making additions to the middle school to accommodate the elementary vs. keeping the middle school as is and moving the elementary to the high school and making needed changes there.

The Iowa Schoolhouse Construction & Planning Services has completed their work, and at this point an architect needs to be hired to provide these specific cost estimates.

If the decision is made to close Howe and add on to one of the schools, it would require a vote.

However, it would not increase taxes. Our current debt includes the following: high school renovation $3,000,000, funded by sales tax,

final payment 2029; high school football lights $75,000, funded by sales tax, final payment 2021; Middle School, $225,000, funded by property tax, final payment 2018; and middle school construction, $325,000, funded by property tax, final payment, 2018. The funding for the project would come by transferring payments from the two paid off loans. Additional funding offset by lowering Management Levy.

If the debt levy is dropped and not used for this purpose, the savings to homeowners would be minimal. It is approximately $70 per year for a house assessed at $100,000, or $6 per month.

There is a long-range goal to work toward becoming one campus for pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Softball - a favorite past time “Softball games provided a form of relaxation and entertainment during the years following the Great Depression when people were still suffering financially.” - David Peterson Almost every small town had its own softball (or kittenball as it was first called) team during the 1930s, 40s and 50s. In the earlier years gloves used were smaller than those of today, and laid flat when not in use, hence they were known as “pancake” gloves. The pitcher wasn’t allowed to wear a glove and had to deliver the ball strictly underhanded. Any windmill-type delivery was illegal. An extra player was used, called a running shortstop.

City State Bank team wins right to play at State Tournament

News article from August 1946 issue of The Ogden Reporter “The windup of the Central Iowa Softball tournament saw the Frantz Standard Service nine from Fort Dodge hand the City State boys from Ogden a real drubbing when they ran in six runs in the sixth inning after an air-tight game was featured by both teams all the way to that point.

The City State boys entered the final round after defeating Dayton in the play-off semi-final game which was rained out last Friday night. The City State boys found Thorn in the first inning and ran in one score and again in the third and fifth frames they bunched their hits to run in the 13 runs to win the game.

Both the Ft. Dodge and Ogden teams will enter the state tournament at Des Moines this week and the locals will play on the night of Thursday, August 22 when they will meet Greene Co. at 9:30 at Walker Field.

The Fort Dodge team will meet the Oskaloosa Junior Chamber of Commerce nine the same night.”

From a news clipping in The Ogden Reporter.

The Famous Boxholm Swedes Historian David Peterson chronicled the famous Boxholm Swedes softball team from his hometown in a 1986 Boxholm History Book.

Craig Davenport always admired the oversized ball bat hanging on a wall in the basement of Brownie Muench’s home. “One day, I asked if I could have it,” said Davenport, “and was told no.”

That was in the early 70s. Davenport said years later Muench was ready to give it up. “You take that thing home and put it with the rest of your junk. Never let it go,” Davenport was told. The bat made by Scott Dillman commemorates a by-gone era when Iowa had a state-wide young men’s softball league. In 1946 Ogden’s “City State Bank Team” played in the state tournament. Names/ nicknames of ,each of the team members are painted on the bat.

A history buff and collector, Davenport has since acquired two team jerseys (one worn by the bat boy, Phil Muench).

inally – it’s over. What a relief. The election, that is.

As I write this week’s column, I wonder what the outcome will be.

By the time you read this, I (and the whole world) will know who our next president will be. Let’s hope that whatever the outcome, our nation will find a bit of acceptance and peace.

It had come to the point where I was watching the news more often, with a morbid-like fascination of the raging political battle. I found it disturbing, alarming, disgusting, annoying, disheartening, and yet hard to turn off. This year’s presidential campaign has to have set an all-time record for how nasty people can be to each other, and how far from the ideals that we wish to see in our elected officials. If even half of the accusations against each candidate were true, neither one deserved to be elected. But I wondered how many of the stories I read on facebook or the internet were really true. How much did the media sensationalize this election battle?

Could it really be as bad as the stories claimed? I began to question if either candidate had any good qualities that made him or her someone that we’d be proud to elect.

But that is no longer relevant. As the saying goes in one of the popular TV reality shows that I never watch, the tribe has spoken. And like it or not, now we have to live with the results.

Sunday I drove to Santa Fe to have lunch with a friend. We’d finally gotten some much needed moisture, with a heavy rainfall during the night. I was happy to leave the mud behind and take the day off. Like the election, there’s only so much mud that I can handle without getting really grumpy.

That morning I’d tripped on a salt block while carrying an arm load of hay flakes out into the muddy field to feed the horses, and was covered with mud from head to toe on one side. That was not a fun way to start the day!

Driving to Santa Fe on a Sunday was different than other days. The sun was trying to break through the clouds, creating an impressive view with the huge clouds hanging over the gorge and snow in the mountains. There were several cars stopped at the side of the highway, many people taking photos of the spectacular scenery. Despite the early hour, there was a lot of traffic a few miles further south. It was the weekend of the annual art tour for the little community of Dixon. Apparently it’s a very popular event and even with the dismal weather there were a lot of people already out

According to Peterson, in 1936 two Boxholm teams, composed of the best players from each of the five township teams, were formed, The Boxholm Quaker Oats team and the Boxholm Merchants.

Two years later, the Quaker Oats team became know as the Boxholm Swedes.

Peterson came across an account of one of the very first games the newly formed Swedes played against the Hawkeye Motors team of Ogden on the Ogden diamond in July of 1936. (The Swedes were in a league including Ogden and Boone teams at this time.)

“A good turnout was present for the game which was one of the best of the season,” the article stated.

“It is, however, regrettable that the collection taken up did not even take care of the light bill for the night.”

The Boxholm “Swedes” made quite a name for themselves in the 1950s when they had a long run of state tournament appearances, and finished as state runner-up in 1957. State tournaments were held at McHose Park in Boone during the 50s and according to Peterson averaged over a thousand people.

That number, he pointed out, could double during peak games.

One key player was instrumental in helping the team gain notoriety.

“In 1953 a young blond-haired,

The 1957 Boxholm Swedes - Iowa fast pitch state champion runner-up 18-year-old from Pilot Mound by the name of Darrel Zunkel joined the Swedes and eventually developed quite a reputation for himself as one of the outstanding softball pitchers in the state of Iowa,” wrote Peterson. “Mr. Zunkel’s pitching prowess is almost legendary and goes back to 1952 when as a 17-year-

old he pitched for the Fraser Softball team. On July 17, 1952 he achieved the amazing feat of pitching a perfect game for the Fraser club, no runs, no hits, and no one even reaching first base.”

From 1954 through 1959, the Swedes won their district tournament every year.

Ruth’s Reflections visiting the galleries. Further down the highway the roadside stands were open, with their festive displays of chile ristras, apples and other produce for sale.

And getting through Espanola was amusing. Sunday morning, with lots of older folks going to or from church. Driving slow. Really slow. So slow I decided to stop at McDonald’s to get a coffee for the road. Apparently that’s also popular on Sunday mornings. The place was filled with families, lots of kids, dressed in their Sunday best. And more old people. As I waited patiently in line for my coffee, wondering why I hadn’t just gone through the drive-up window, I heard people talking. Talking about voting and politics and I began to wonder if I was in the twilight zone.

By the time I made it to Santa Fe, the sun was shining and the air was delightfully fresh after the rain. It turned out to be a lovely day. Lunch was great, at a restaurant that my friend suggested. She travels a lot and comes to New Mexico a couple times a year usually, but she knows that city much better than I do. I had a chile relleno, home fries with salsa and tortilla and fried eggs. The little restaurant was actually on a residential street, just a few blocks from the plaza, and one I’d never have found on my own. The

food was unique and tasty.

After lunch I went to the farm supply store and picked up horse feed and salt blocks and a new halter for our baby horse. He is now a little over three months old and has outgrown his foal halter. Then I stopped at the natural food grocery store. I’d found some sweet potato recipes on-line that looked really tasty and nutritious, so decided to have a sweet potato lunch for the volunteers this week.

As I drove home, feeling refreshed from the change of pace and a day away, I realized how much I’d needed just that. Even though I was surrounded by reminders of the current happenings and even though my friend and I had talked about many of these things, it wasn’t as intense.

It was like stepping back as an observer rather than being caught up in all the drama, which is always a better option. Simon Sinek once said that leadership is not about the next election, it’s about the next generation.

That is something to remember this year, this week and in the coming days.

It will be interesting, I’m sure.

Until next time, Ruth B

The church of Christ, Who are these people?

The Scriptures teach that each of us is involved in a spiritual battle with eternal ramifications (2 Cor. 10:3-5; Gal. 5:7-8). Heaven and Hell are at stake in our warfare. The combatants, flesh and spirit, will never be at peace (Gal. 5:17). All that is left is for us to pick a side.

If we choose to live in fleshly lust, we must not expect to win this war (Rom. 8:13). To win, we must choose to be in Christ (Gal. 3:27) and to remain in Christ by abstaining from “fleshly lusts, which war against the soul” (1 Pet. 2:11).

This is a battle for our souls. Jesus spoke of the value of the soul in Matthew 16:26 when He said, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”

Our enemy, the devil, is depicted as the tempter (Matt. 4:3), a murderer (John 8:44) and a deceiver (Rev. 12:9). He wants to take advantage of us and bring us into captivity (2 Cor. 2:11; Luke 22:31; 2 Tim. 2:26). He is like a roaring lion who walks around looking for someone to consume (Matt. 13:39; 1 Pet. 5:8).

Like a general at war, Satan has devices, methods and strategies to draw us away from God and His path (Eph. 6:10; Matt. 7:13-14). While it is absolutely true that “every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed”, it is also true that Satan uses our natural desires to lure us off into the proverbial “far country” (Jas. 1:14).

The enemy’s greatest and most effective weapons are “the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life” (1 John 2:16). We see the effects of this deadly trio in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve (Gen. 3), with David and Bathsheba (2 Sam. 11), with Judas (John 13:2), with Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5) and with Christians who have escaped Satan’s captivity only to be entangled in sin later on (2 Pet. 2:20).

We said a lot about Satan and his activity, but here is the most important truth: Jesus Christ has already won this battle! When He won, He paved the way for us to triumph!

He prepared our escape and revealed to us spiritual truth that can set us free from sin and death (2 Cor. 2:14; 2 Pet. 2:20 & John 8:32). As Paul said, “thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 15:57).

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!

Ogden T.T.T. organization sponsors campers Ogden middle school students Alyza Primmer and Thea Alexander were sent to Y Camp this past summer by Ogden’s GW Chapter of the National T.T.T. Society. The girls enjoyed their camping experience with other T.T.T. campers from central Iowa.

Ogden’s Chapter members raise funds to take the girls shopping for camp clothing and host a camper shower with gifts of supplies needed for the week. They provide all camp registration fees and provide transportation to and from camp. The girls attended the August meeting to share stories of their week at camp.

They were also given school supplies to begin the school year.

The National T.T.T Society is a non-profit, philanthropic organization of women in chapters across the United States. The focus of the chapters is to provide a fun and educational camping experience for local girls. Each girl has the opportunity to participate in activities at camp that develop character and self worth.

Ogden’s GW Chapter raises money to send these girls to camp through the sale of cheese balls during Oktoberfest and during the fall months.

From the cradle to the grave, the legs play a vital role in everyday life.

For the youngster, the legs enable him to walk, run, jump, swim, or pedal his bicycle. In later years, they become even more necessary and are often mandatory for making a living. They do a tremendous job of supporting the weight of the human body and moving it from place to place. They help support the body while it bends, stoops, stretches, and performs many other daily chores. The value of the legs is even more pronounced for the postman, housewife, many factory and office workers, and others who must rely on them for many miles of walking each day.

You may feel a moment of sympathy or a twinge of sorrow when you see a fellow with a broken leg hobbling around on crutches or see someone confined to a wheelchair.

It is a tough life, and you are glad that it is not you.

Then - leg pain strikes!

The pain is almost unbearable, and can even be crippling. You may know it by a variety of terms neuritis, sciatic neuritis, or sciatica.

But whatever you call it, leg pain is one of the most excrusciating pains

known to mankind.

One of the most common causes of leg pain is the misalignment of segments of the spinal column which impinge the spinal nerves and reduce the flow of nerve energy to the legs.

There are many causes for such spinal misalignm e n t s .

Lifting too great a load, attempting to move a refrigerator ‘singlehandedly,’ or falling down a stairway can produce them.

Such incidents are often quickly forgotten and the victim may not equate them with the leg pain which develops days, weeks or even months later.

Spinal misalignments can best be detected during a Chiropractic examination. If a Doctor of Chiropractic discovers that such a misalignment is the cause of leg pain, he will then seek to correct the problem through natural means without the use of drugs or surgery.

It’s the happiest, most wonderful time of the year. That’s what we’ve been told over and over . . . so many times that some of us begin to think, “Bah humbug!”

Expectations are high for the winter holidays, and the magic does not always unfold according to our expectations. We find ourselves fighting traffic to buy presents we can’t afford. We are more busy than usual due to the additional holiday events. We get together with family and friends only to find ourselves opening old conflicts.

Is there really any such thing as holiday happiness? A Harvard researcher collected data from more than 20,000 individuals and concluded we actually are happier than usual on special holidays. He found that Christmas Day, though not celebrated by everyone, is the happiest day of the year followed closely by Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve. One of the main reasons for this happiness is we spend more time with family and friends, and this interaction is closely tied to our feelings of happiness.

Greek philosopher Aristotle considered happiness to be the primary goal of human life–the ultimate end at which all of our activities aim.

Present-day psychologists often see the pursuit of happiness to be closely aligned with engagement. Being engaged with family and friends over the holidays means not just getting together in the same house or the same room, but empathizing with them and sharing feelings, experiences and memories.

The giving of presents around the tree is a traditional way of recognizing a broader spirit of giving and forgiving that is often forgotten in today’s highly commercialized celebration. You don’t have to be a Christian or even a religious person to engage in that kind of giving.

At Thanksgiving, we get together to share our favorite dishes with family and friends in a gesture of mutual gratitude, all of which is associated with happiness. Having a special day each year to celebrate thankfulness is itself something to be grateful for. Use it to discover how much happiness you can gain by being grateful for those around you. Engagement and gratitude help strengthen existing relationships and nurture new ones.

A friend, according to Aristotle, is “a single soul dwelling in two bodies.” As opposed to friendships based solely on utility, a “complete friendship” is one in which both parties see and appreciate the strengths of the other. Strong social relationships are essential to the pursuit of happiness.

Studies have shown that subjects with strong social relationships are more likely to exercise, have lower blood pressure and are less likely to develop depression.

Winter is a time when it’s easy to be gloomy. Given the weather, the traffic jams and commercialization, do you give in to the temptation to say, “Bah humbug,” or do you actively engage with family and friends in the pursuit of happiness?

Boone Comm. Theater presents “Narnia: The Musical” When Christopher Levi (Ogden) and Stephanie Hammer (Beaver) decided to join forces and do a musical with adults and children, They were so excited about what they could put together. “Narnia: the Musical” was perfect. It is a show that takes place in a magical land where it is always winter and never Christmas. But some beavers, Aslan the lion and FOUR children set out to change that.

"We have some adult actors and actresses that have a stage presence and natural instinct for acting that all of the children get a front row seat to watch and learn from. As a director, specifically a director of

children's theatre, my heart soars when I see the children grow and mature from auditions through opening night. It is an honor and a blessing to get to witness this magical theatre," says Stephanie.

These kids and adults are from Ogden, Beaver, Perry, Madrid and Ames The show opens Friday, December 2 at 7 p.m. at Boone Community Theatre 106 S Webster, Boone. Additional performances are at 2 p.m. December 3 and 10, and 7 p.m. December 8, 9, and 10. Tickets are available online at www.boonecommunitytheatre.org or www.bctnarnia2016.wordpress. com or by calling 515-303-0393.

Sundell once again proves he is one of the elites Wade Sundell does not have to prove himself. He has already won on the biggest stages in rodeo competition. But now the competition has just gotten stiffer.

In an effort to elevate the world of professional rodeo, he and other top rodeo athletes worldwide created Elite Rodeo Athletes (ERA) in 2015.

The idea was simple - to create a stage for the best rodeo talent on Earth to compete event after event in a ‘League of Champions’ making each event a must watch for rodeo fans.

Since then they launched the inaugural ERA Premier Tour which featured the top rodeo athletes in the world, representing more than 137 world titles.

The regular season was a “Championship Race to Dallas,” where they competed for $1.2 million in prize money with the tour culminating in a World Championship event, Nov. 11-13, 2016 in Dallas at the American Airlines Center. Athletes battled for an additional $1 million, a total of $2.2 million in payouts across the entire tour.

Sundell was in Dallas for the ERA finals. Getting off to a slow start, the saddle bronc rider, who grew up in Boxholm, did not place in the money during round one. He rebounded with a second place finish in round two then topped 12 other riders to win the final round.

Throughout the year, Sundell accumulated 2,825 points, putting him second in the world, behind World Champion Cort Scheer who

The final round of the world championships (of which Sundell participated) will be broadcast on Fox Sports 2 Monday, Nov. 28 at 9 p.m. Eastern Time (8 p.m. Central Time).
