New lighting display serves as a reminder Seeing a Christmas lighting decoration online planted a seed. The artwork outlined a soldier kneeling before a cross. “How appropriate,” thought Kevin Langel, co-chair of this year’s community Christmas celebration, “if Ogden could have one placed near the memorial of one of its fallen soldiers.” But the cost of $700 was just not doable. Then someone came up with the idea of having the Boone County High School Manufacturing class, under the direction of Rick Hamilton, bend and weld the steel rod, into a 5’ high by 7’ wide sculpture. Students working on the project were Jarret Claude, Ryan Jeppesen and Jacob Ludwig. Ogden Legacy was willing to cover the $150 cost of supplies. Over 500 lights, zip-tied to the steel rods showcase the design at night. The sculpture will remain on display throughout the holidays before being stored away for another year.

Rehab Services opens clinic in Ogden For residents in and around the Ogden area that have had to drive to Boone for their therapy at Boone County Hospital’s (BCH) Rehab Services, they will be happy to know Rehab Services is opening a clinic in Ogden on January 3, 2017. The new clinic is located at 317 West Walnut in Ogden and is across the street from Boone County Family Medicine. “We wanted to make sure we were serving the Ogden community the best way we could,” says Jake Stotts, DPT, BCH Rehab Services. “Since we have a large patient base from the Ogden area, we felt opening a clinic downtown was necessary. It’s been in the planning stages for two years.” BCH Rehab Services has been serving home care patients in Ogden for over 34 years and has been providing athletic training to the Ogden schools for the past five years. Initially, the clinic will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 5 p.m. The hope is to expand those hours as the patient base continues to grow. Offered services include rehab for sports, vestibular and orthopedic injuries and surgeries, dry needling, Graston, LSVT-Parkinson’s disease, gait training and analysis, balance training, lower/ owa

upper extremity pathology, kinesiotaping and work-related injury rehab. Jake will be overseeing and providing services at the clinic; in addition, Angie Walsh, PTA, will also be providing services at the clinic. Both have been providing services at BCH Rehab Services for many years. Jake and his wife Colette have dreamed of living and raising their children in a small community, thus the reason they moved to Ogden three years ago. Their children attend Ogden schools and Jake and Colette have become involved in the community. “We are excited to be a part of Ogden and look forward to raising our family here,” he says. The new Rehab clinic will bring a continuity of care that was missing before. “Because Boone County Family Medicine and BCH Rehab Services are affiliated with Boone County Hospital, we will be able to refer patients back and forth. It will be much more convenient for Ogden patients and will allow them to keep their care in Ogden,” says Jake. To schedule an appointment at BCH Rehab Services in Ogden, call (515) 432-7729 and specify that you want to be seen in Rehab Services in Ogden.

“A Service of Light for the Darkest Night” by Becky Blair
REPORTER STAFF WRITER
The holidays are truly wonderful. We often look forward to visits from family and friends. We work on menus, look forward to preparing special foods and planned fellowship. Over the years, traditions are created - there are the decorations, parties, songs, shopping. And yet, even during these times of great joy, we all may have moments that surface and bring a level of stress - sometimes even a feeling of sadness. This time of year in the northern hemisphere, we sometimes struggle with weather, and the shortening of daylight hours. With this in mind, Immanuel Lutheran Church is planning “A Service of Light for the Darkest Night” Wednesday, Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. According to Wikipedia (https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest), “ A Longest Night Service sometimes also known as Blue Christmas Service or Service of Light, held on or around the eve of the winter solstice (around Dec. 21) in the Northern Hemisphere, is a modern Christian religious service designed to temper the struggle with darkness and grief faced by those living with loss. Loss may include the death of a loved
one, divorce or separation, due to military service, the loss of a job, or living with serious illness. The service may coincide with the traditional feast day for Saint Thomas the Apostle.” Pastor Christine Cowan of Immanuel Lutheran Church will be presiding over the service and shares her thoughts. “A basic theme of Advent is waiting. Sometimes it feels like we are in the dark waiting for the light to come back - the light of hope, the light of faith, the light of forgiveness for self or others, the light of connection with another human being. The Scriptures are full of God’s promise to be with us while we are waiting, along with a promise that even in the darkest night, there will be dawn.” Lots of things can make us feel like we are living in a dark place. It could be something from the past, or circumstances in the present. It could be something in the news or something in the family, or even simply something inside ourselves. We believe that God seeks to bring comfort in the midst of these times to you and to me. We hope you will join us Wednesday, Dec. 21, 7 p.m. at Immanuel Lutheran Church. Everyone is invited to attend this special service.

ogden TELEPHONE COMPANY By Becky Blair
Ogden Telephone Co. This piece is a collaborative effort of Gerald Anderson and Tim Anderson Some pictures from Connie Rudy and Doug Nebbe. (This is what was printed in 1966 in “The Ogden Reporter Centennial Edition”) The Ogden Telephone Co. was the first in Boone County to go to dial telephone. And now equipment has been ordered so that direct distance dial will be available to local subscribers in 1967. The story of the company is a true story of growth. What follows is taken from the records of the company. It is believed the first meeting of the Marcy Mutual Telephone Co. in the Ogden territory was held at Ben Treloar’s on March 26, 1901, with acting president, Charles Williams and acting vice president, Ben Treloar and secretary, Alf Morgan. There were 29 charter members. The company was named Marcy Township Independent Telephone Co. Each member was assessed $35. There was also at this time a company known as the Ogden Telephone Co. operating under the incorporators, Earl Billings, E.H. Melott, F..J. Mullen and W.D. Whitehead. On April 2, 1901, a meeting was held at Timby School. The Marcy Independent Telephone Co. ordered poles and wire to build lines and on April 20, 1901, they ordered 25 oak telephones from the Chicago Telephone Co.
Marcy Mutual Phone Co. was located next to what is now Auto Electric & Tune up. It is west of the sign GARAGE in this picture.
Ogden Telephone Company 202 W Walnut Street, Ogden, Iowa in 2016. costing $20 each. A committee was appointed to check the credit rating of the Chicago Telephone Co., Chicago, Ill. (From The Ogden Reporter 1901 “East Side, West Side All Around the Town” - With over 50 telephones hooked up within the city limits in 1901, those who weren’t talking into the talk-box were wanting to listen in! The rural folks began to clamor that they wanted some of these new doo-dads too. Six months later in August the first rural telephone lines were out - line No. 1 going out south in the Treloar neighborhood and line No. 2 hooking up in the Morgan neighborhood to the southeast. By spring of 1902 the telephone co. was pleading with would be subscribers to be patient as the company just couldn’t keep enough phones on hand to meet the demand! Lines quickly went up in every direction out of town. It was then time for the company to put out an admonition that “central” was not to listen in or repeat anything heard over the ‘party line.’ Upon complaint of such a repetition, if traced back to the central she’d lose her job at once! Subscribers were also told that ‘listening in’ (‘rubbering,’ the neighbors called it) was out. But I guess they failed to heed the advice for a poem on the party line soon appeared in the Reporter which included these lines: “Twenty friends are deadly foes, Each one full of grief and woes, Each too mad to speak a word, ‘Cause of things they overheard. Each rued the day that he did own a dad blasted telephone!’ BUT telephones continued to be installed as fast as available! On May 18, 1901, Article IX of the By-laws was amended that 25 cents
be charged for each message over the telephone by a non-member and the fees be turned over to the company. On Oct. 17, 1903, a committee was appointed to meet with the Boone Telephone Co. in regards to toll connections. This committee was J.S. Miller, John Dixson and John Sharks. It was decided by the board on Nov. 14, 1903, that anyone wishing to connect a telephone to the line should pay $40 per share plus a $5 membership and the expense of building said line and to furnish their own telephone. All material and telephones were to be approved by the company. On Dec. 6, 1903, it was decided to build a line to the Coal Bank in Moingona, if nine other persons would go on the same line. (From The Ogden Reporter 1903 - The Ogden Telephone Company moved its equipment into larger quarters in the Brammer building above Nebbe’s store installing 12 local phones and two pay phones for those who did not have home phones. In 1903 there were over 400 phones on the Ogden Telephone Company’s exchange when it was absorbed by the Boone County Telephone Co. thus giving Ogden free telephone service anywhere in the county. About this time a group of farmers organized the Marcy Mutual Telephone Company. For many years rival companies were in operation thus many homes and most businesses had two phones in order to be able to talk to whomever they wished. TELEPHONE COMPANY -Continued on page three

Telephone Company, -continued from page two. March 25, 1904, a motion was made by Erick Erickson and seconded by John Sharks to pay a day operator $20 per month and a night operator $16 per month and to furnish Frank Ganoe two at his house and one at the office for acting as legal advisor at no charge. April 7,1904, the night operator’s salary was raised to $18 per month. If she would collect the money and keep the books. May 27, 1904, the company incorporated for $2000 and changed its name to Marcy Mutual Telephone Co. The acting officers were president, C.H. Williams; vice president, J.S. Miller; secretary, W.E. Treloar and treasurer, Dr. J.H. Noyes. At the meeting Sept. 29, 1904, H.J. Lark was asked to survey the area northwest of town to find out how many telephones could be placed in that direction. W. C. Treloar was paid $12 for 12 drives to the country with his team. Dec. 6, 1904, it was agreed that all stockholders who had not paid their assessment by Jan. 4, 1904, would be penalized 50% and their telephone removed at once. The above also applied to people who rented telephones from the company. The assessments at this time were amounting to about $30 per year according to records, plus $8 a year rent and $3 for switching fees. Dec. 13, 1904, the city council was asked to install a telephone at the light plant and in turn the light plant would install lights in the telephone office. Office in Beaver, Iowa was June 6, 1905, motion was made located at the post office. Dial by Simon Peterson and seconded by equipment was there to serve J.S. Miller that the company pay Mr. Beaver and Berkley in 1956. Cooper $45 per month if he proved to be more satisfactory than the man now hired. At the June 4, 1907, meeting it was agreed that all toll calls be paid by the first day of each month or service would be removed. April 13, 1915, it was agreed the Marcy Mutual Telephone Co. contact the Boone County Telephone Co. to find out what they would take for their exchange. Oct. 2, 1917, it was agreed to pay C.W. Shaffer $80 per month. At this time Ben Treloar was manager. On Jan. 5, 1919, the stockholders were asked to vote to authorize the Board of Directors of the Marcy Mutual to buy or reject buying the Boone Co. exchange in Ogden. On July 10, 1919, the American Appraisal Co., Milwaukee, Wisc., gave a complete appraisal of the Boone County Telephone Co. and set the value at $9,712.30. At the next Board of Directors meeting it was agreed to purchase the Boone County Telephone Co. of Ogden at the above price April 2, 1932. C.W. Shaffer was elected secretary and according to the records he served as secretary and manager until ill health forced him to retire many years later. (From The Ogden Reporter1938 - The upward swing of recuperation after the depression continued in 1938 as Marcy Mutual Telephone Co. disclosed a new high had been reached when they delivered new directories to 1902 subscribers. *Information contributed by Gerald and Tim Anderson - In 1954 R.E. Nielson of Ringstead, Iowa was hired to replace C.W. Shaffer as manager of Marcy Mutual and first manager of Ogden Telephone Company. Many families (whose names are now familiar here at the present time are mentioned in the old records), worked hard and long to progress this far in good and bad times as pioneers in this industry. By January of 1955 after some bad storms it was decided it would be necessary to rebuild much of the telephone plant due to expansion and to some extent, expenses created by the REA using a grounded system the same as the telephone company was using. Prices had increased and it was found necessary to refinance the company. During the next two years the company issued 1250 shares in common stock at $100 per share. Clyde McFarlin of Montezuma and Leonard Nelson of Ogden were hired as attorneys for the company. 1955 Charles F. Elliot of Aurelia was the new manager and Gerald Anderson and A.H. Pauls linemen. The name of the company was changed to the Ogden Telephone Co. Kieseling and Gilbertson, a firm of Madison, Wis., public utility accountants were hired to make a complete audit and also submit all reports to the state and federal offices as required by law, so that the new company would be started on a safe basis for all concerned. In 1956 Kay Elliot was hired. A new dial office was installed in Beaver. Both years, there were a total of about 1100 dial telephones and 180 rural miles of telephone lines installed for all three towns of Ogden, Beaver and Berkley. (From The Ogden Reporter - 1957 Ogden Telephone Company was in the process of making major changes in 1957, as the switch over to dial was underway. New lines were being installed, new phones were being placed in every home, town and country, and a new telephone office/equipment
1954 Chevy factory 4 wheel drive truck used to do almost all of the outside work at OTC - string line, pull poles and set poles.
This moment in Ogden’s history is sponsored by:

Gerald Anderson OTC manager from 1967-1999. building was constructed at 113 SW Third St. The change to dial brought with it the end of an era, as telephone operators Vi Treloar, Lois Crisp, Irene Maas, Marie Plath and Darlene Rundberg found themselves out of a job. During this time the officers were president, John Heineman; vice president, Jacob Siglin; secretary and treasurer, Albert Miller. Directors were Walter Johnson, Roy Jenkins, John Williams, and Frank Leek. Sometime later Carl Jones replaced Walter Johnson on the board. These men spent much time and effort for the betterment of the company. The Ogden Telephone Co. was the first company in Boone County to convert to dial. A new warehouse was added in 1963. Dated Sept. 30, 1965, the end of the telephone company’s year, the accountant’s report states the plant is now valued at $465,835.61. The company is now on a depreciation reserve plan, so emergencies and expansion may be handled with company savings. The stockholders were paid 6% dividend in December for the past year. The company is also spending about $20,000 a year upgrading lines and adding new equipment. This policy by the Board of Directors is for the improvement of the company and also a benefit for the subscribers who are not stockholders. In late 1966 Charles Elliot passed away. In 1967 Gerald Anderson was appointed manager. Kenneth Clausen and Jerry Pharaoh were hired as outside plant personnel. Later in 1972 John Ellis and Tim Anderson were employed. At this time the company started to rebuild all the rural with underground one-party service. This was completed when the big ice storm hit in 1973. As soon as the storm was over the next morning the employees of Ogden Telephone Co. started hooking up new underground. Around 3 to 4 weeks of 12 to 14 hour days, 7 days a week, most of it was hooked up to new underground. At that time the new buried underground took care of all customers coming out of the old Beaver office. That means that the 389 prefix went away for Beaver and Berkley and all lines had the 275 prefix from the plant in Ogden. New digital switching equipment was delivered in May of 1984 and cut into service July 31, 1984. In 1986 new underground oneparty service was started in the town of Ogden, Berkley and Beaver and it was completed in October 1990. At this time, those employed at Gary Clark, manager of OTC OTC are Gerald R. Anderson, Man- 2013 - present. ager; Jerald Pharaoh, John Ellis, Tim Anderson, Bonnie Tolsdorf, Vickie Hill. Board of Directors - Merlin Muench, President; Carl Danilson, Vice President; Albert O. Miller, Secretary; John Hunter, Craig Heineman, Ronnie Bristle and Stan Williams. (From The Ogden Reporter - INS was formed in 1988 when 133 of Iowa’s rural independent telephone companies, including Ogden Telephone Co., joined together to provide an alternative long-distance service to their customers. Since then, INS has expanded to include other telecommunications services, including paging services, FAX services, a videoconferencing network, travel cards, prepaid telephone cards, and global internet access. In the summer of 1992 OTC put in its first fiber optic cable for toll usage from Ogden to Beaver. Ogden’s service would then meet US West at L Avenue between the new and old highway 30. In 1996 OTC started putting in fiber optics for customers in rural areas of the exchange. (From The Ogden Reporter - The company ventured into cable television service when they purchased Triax in October 1998. A $200,000 renovation/upgrade in September 1999 included four satellite dishes and an 80 foot tower located southeast of main office. By the time of Anderson’s retirement in October 1999, the company had embraced the major changes in the telecommunications industry. State-of-the-art equipment provided the company’s subscribers with new service such as caller ID and call forwarding. Dial up internet connection became available to Ogden residents in 1994. Current manager, John Ellis replaced Anderson Oct. 1, 1999. During his tenure, the company has seen further improvements. Internet DSL connection was offered in April 2001. Currently 206 subscribers are taking advantage of this high-speed connection. The number of dial-up customers stands at 612 today. The company began working on another upgrade of its cable television system in summer 2002. The current cable lineup offers 53 channels for
Carla Adreon, accountant; Christy Thede and Lisa Kieffer, customer service representative. (2016)
Kolby Munson, Tim Anderson, Troy Engleen, Chris Sturtz and Joel Munson. (2016) 483 subscribers. The next several years there were many central office upgrades done and several new miles of new cable added or replaced. In 2012 Ogden Tel. Co. took on a rather large project - Fiber to the Home. This meant every customer having service with OTC would be getting fiber optic service to their business or home. With this fiber they are able to get regular phone service, high speed internet, and digital TV. This is a real plus for rural customers because TV was not possible from OTC before. The project started in 2012 and 2013 in the rural area and the town in 2014. In 2015 when splicing of fiber was complete, the installation of new Fiber to the Home was started. With the completion of this project and providing the people in Ogden, Beaver and Berkley area with this super fast high speed internet service, Ogden Telephone was presented an award in 2015. The award “Certified Connected City” was awarded to Ogden Telephone Company by Governor Terry Branstad. From The Ogden Reporter - 2015 Ogden Telephone Co. has come a long way from the original 25 oak telephones to the current subscribers: 1300 telephone lines, 700 Cable TV, and 1050 High speed internet. The company’s founding president, Charles Williams, probably never dreamed the poles and wire erected in 1901 for telephone lines would evolve into the present day technology. The current board of directors: President, Craig Heineman; Vice President, John Hunter; Treasurer, Hans Boehm; Secretary, LeeAnn Samuelson; Roger Christensen, Ron Bristle and Merlin Muench. During the history of OTC there have been five managers: R.E. Nielson (1954), Charles Elliot (1955-1966), Gerald Anderson (1967-1999), John Ellis (1999-2013), and Gary Clark (2013 to present). Present employees at OTC: Joel Munson started as a tech. in 1999 and became outside plant manager in 2012; Carla Adreon started as accountant in 2003; Troy Engleen - tech. in 2003; Lisa Kieffer - CSR 2008; Chris Sturtz - tech. 2009; Christy Thede - CSR 2015; Kolby Munson - tech. 2015. Some of the past full time employees: Pat Rundberg, Walt Lindgren, Kendal Paulsen, Cole Pearson, Helen Coler, Vickie Hill, Bonnie Tolsdorf, Fern Blosser, A.H. Pauls, Jerry Pharaoh, Kenny Clausen, K.C. Elliot. Also many part time workers including coop students and seasonal help. INS family of companies unites to form a new name in 2016: AUREON.

Worship at the church of your choice. The church of Christ, Who are these people? What most of us want, more than anything, is to be happy. We seek happiness in our jobs, in success, in relationships, in wealth, in recreation and in anything else we can think of, but still it eludes us. The problem is we do not understand what true happiness is and where it comes from, so we do not know how to find what we all desire. We all know that we want to be happy, but sometimes we forget that God wants us to be happy. He created us (Genesis 1:26-27), He wants what is best for us and if we are wise, we will listen to Him and learn how to be happy (Proverbs 1:5). All earthly wisdom says happiness is in things and circumstances, but as we see these things fail, perhaps we begin to understand that His ways are much higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). The Bible is a “how to” book for many things and it can be our instruction manual for finding happiness. There are a few basic keys to happiness. First of all: Appreciate Every Day, “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalms 118:24). The Psalmist’s declaration in this verse is a reminder that every day God gives us is an opportunity to live for Him and find happiness in serving Him. Next, the Bible tells us: “the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited” (Isaiah 45:18). God did not create this world just for the sake of creating it. He created this world for us! Finally, Jehovah God created this universe as a fit dwelling place for mankind so that we could commune with Him and glorify His name. Solomon wrote, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13). So many miss the simple point that true happiness can only be found in fulfilling our purpose. Failing to render to “ . . . God the things which be God’s” (Luke 20:15) has lead so many down a lonely, selfish path. This path promises that happiness can be achieved by self-centered living, but those who follow it find only misery. Day by day God allows us to walk on His earth and breathe His air. This should make us happy. Are you happy? We invite you to come search for the Truth with us!
We would like to invite you to worship with us at 502 W. Walnut! Sunday Bible study at 9:30 a.m., Worship at 10:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Wednesday evening Bible study at 7:00 p.m.
OBITUARIES Roger Allen Sturtz Roger Allen Sturtz, age 75, of Humboldt, passed away December 11, 2016 at the Long Term Care Unit of the Humboldt County Memorial Hospital. A Celebration of Life gathering for Roger was Sunday, December 18, 2016 at the Mason-Lindhart Funeral Home in Humboldt. Burial was Monday, Dec. 19, 2016 in Beaver Cemetery, Beaver, Iowa. Roger was the son of LaVerne and Lillian (Titman) Sturtz, born Christmas Day, 1940. He was raised on a farm near Boxholm, with brothers Gene and Keith and sister Betty. Following his graduation from Boxholm High School, Roger went to work for Quaker Oats at Beaver where he met Jacqueline Wenger. On September 4, 1965, he and Jackie were united in marriage and the couple lived in Boone where they started their family. In 1970 they moved to Lebanon, Indiana near Indianapolis. In 1972, the family returned to Iowa and made their home in Humboldt where Roger ROGER ALLEN STURTZ worked for Farm Egg and later for the 1940 - 2016 Des Moines Register as regional carrier supervisor. On January 1, 1983, the family purchased Sundance Lanes in Humboldt, which they have owned and operated as a family since. He loved his bowling business and was seen there daily for over 30 years. His customers were like an extended family. He was a talker and a salesman, never met anyone that shouldn’t join a bowling league. In Roger’s younger years, he enjoyed numerous sports but that soon shrank to bowling and activities with his three boys and his beloved wife. He would’ve done anything for his family. In the 1980’s, Roger became interested in both thoroughbred and standardbred horses, with the harness racing a family business to this day. An accomplished bowler, Roger was an intense competitor in both leagues and tournaments with several perfect games. Later, he enjoyed coin collecting and trips to Prairie Meadows. Roger is survived by his wife of 51 years, Jackie; his sons, Scott, Cary, and Shawn; and his mother, Lillian Sturtz of Fort Dodge. His father and brother Gene preceded him in death.

Holiday health risk Courtesy of Boone County Hospital Per Charles Dickens, the winter holidays are the best of times, the worst of times. They are happy times with family and friends. And, there are occasions when we are likely to over-indulge, stress out and face a number of health risks. There are three forms of overindulgence. 1) Overeating. It’s not just the holiday feasts; it’s the late-night turkey sandwiches, the candy, cookies and special treats. Most of us go into the holidays with a plan to control weight. Choose the treats you most desire and go easy on the other extras. Your exercise schedule is likely to be disrupted but try to work it in–perhaps joining interested family or friends in a brisk after dinner walk. 2) Over drinking. If alcohol is part of your family culture, there are many occasions for over doing it over the holidays. Avoid the temptation. At the very least, it is likely to uncover some covert family conflicts, increasing stress among all involved. At worst, it can lead to life-threatening accidents on the highway. 3) Over spending. It may sound trite, but it’s the thought that counts. An older toddler may have her heart set on a highly hyped toy, but even a five-year-old can accept compromises and budgets. A child who feels loved will not judge her parents by their Christmas budget. Aside from debt and financial problems, there are many reasons for stress during the winter holidays. As you head to the shopping mall, you are likely to encounter huge traffic jams. Then, after entering, you find all of the parking spaces are taken. Just calm down, slow down and be patient. Make a schedule at the beginning of the
month and try to stick to it. Have a shopping list so you need fewer trips to the mall. Heart attacks also spike during the winter holidays, and stress may be one of the reasons. Over-indulgence in food or alcohol can also bring on a heart attack. Everyone knows that chest pain is a symptom of a heart attack, but sometimes the major symptom is very similar to indigestion. Don’t overlook it. Even if you suspect that you might be having a heart attack, you may be less likely to rush to the emergency room in the midst of holiday festivities. Winter is the prime time for colds and flu, and holiday visitors bring bugs with them from all parts of the state and country. What you can do? Get your flu shot and wash your hands frequently. If you get a respiratory infection, try to avoid contaminating others. The big bird that is the center of most holiday celebrations is also the potential source of foodborne illness related to improper cooking and storing. Defrosting in the refrigerator (one day for every four or five pounds) is time consuming, but it is the only safe method. Defrosting on the counter top or in hot water gives bacteria a chance to multiply . . . in the bird and in your kitchen. After cooking, keep in mind the danger zone—any temperature between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit is friendly to unwholesome bacteria. A turkey sandwich straight from the fridge is fine; otherwise, re-heat it to at least 140 degrees. After the meal is over, it’s great to sit around the table for talk and happy times. But pack up the leftovers– especially the meat, stuffing and any mayonnaise-based dishes, and get them in the refrigerator within two hours. Boone County Hospital wishes you a very Merry Christmas!
Ruth’s Reflections T
his past week was a typical work week with the routines of feeding the horses twice a day, horse care that including doctoring Jimmy’s wound and putting hot Epsom salt compresses on Lit’l Black’s jaw abscess, cleaning stalls, walking Dustee, getting a load of hay, giving a riding lesson, and all the other endless details that go into running a horse rescue. Although it was a typical week, there were a few special moments. The highlight was completing an adoption to Savannah, one of my volunteers. Savannah is now the official owner of Gray, the horse I had taken in last summer in the hopes that he would be a good lesson horse. After I started working with Gray, it was obvious that he wasn’t a good candidate for our lesson program. He was simply too hyper sensitive, too easily startled, too nervous in strange surroundings, and he had a tremendous amount of body tension, tight muscles, sore feet, etc. Savannah and I spent many hours tending to Gray. We did body work on him almost every day. I trimmed his feet, making tiny adjustments every week or two. We did ground work with him. I changed his diet and gave him a safe turnout where he had horses nearby to become friends with. It was rewarding to see how Gray blossomed over the summer and fall months. He is a lovely horse, nice to ride now, soft, sweet, and happy. Now he shares a turnout with the mare and colt and they are a happy little family. Pretty soon it’ll be time to wean the colt, so Gray will take over as his babysitter. Through all this, Savannah became very attached to Gray and when I said that I felt he’d do much better with one person as his owner, not as a lesson horse with lots of different people riding him, she said she wanted to adopt him. All the details were worked out and Savannah is now a proud new horse owner. Savannah is a very experienced rider and capable horse person. I knew she’d grown up with horses. Her father was a horse trader of sorts and she was given many opportunities to ride and take care of horses. But I didn’t know until she signed the papers on Gray that the longest they ever kept horses was about 30 days, so she had learned to not get real attached to any of the horses her father brought home. And she always had dreamed of having a horse of her own that she would never have to part with. She hugged me and told me it was one of the best days of her life. Wow. I wish I could find adopters like that for a lot more of our horses! It was a good day for me, too. Part of the adoption agreement was that Gray will be boarded at the horse sanctuary and Savannah is going to work off his board by putting in a day a week of work. Woo hoo! For me, that means either a day a week off and the work will still get done, or a day doing more training with our younger horses, with a great helper. I’m excited to have Savannah’s help here, on a regular basis. On Saturday we had a board of directors meeting. I had called a special meeting to discuss the coming year. I wanted to know that the board members are on board, so to speak, with the programs and the vision of the organization, before I set forth the plans and goals for 2017. Bottom line was, I wanted the board member to be aware of all that we do and be more active with helping these things happen. I have come to understand how life really is a journey, with all our actions and experiences, challenges and opportunities. How we react to these makes the difference as to whether we grow and evolve, or get stuck in ruts that seem impossible to get out of. The choices we make can take us forward or we can end up going down the same path endlessly. The work I do with horses and people has made me appreciate the importance of being aware – being able to observe my actions, how I deal with challenging situations, how and why I do certain things. It’s not easy to just be aware and not become overly critical of myself and others. That’s my biggest challenge. But hard as it is sometimes, there is a freedom that comes as a result of being aware. That freedom is what gives me the confidence to set new goals, while appreciating where I’ve been and where I want to be. I wanted my board of directors to be more involved with the work we do at the horse sanctuary, to be more aware and more supportive through being able to talk about it to others in the community, help recruit new volunteers and find more donors so that we can continue to grow and it’s not all my goals and my dreams. As I work on my year end reports, I’ve come to see how it’s not just about facts and figures and numbers. It’s about how we are evolving and helping others – the horses and people. And even though the week was fairly routine, there were moments that made it anything but routine. And the best part about cultivating awareness is that it also seems to bring a newfound sense of appreciation for all that is. That is a gift I wish I could share with everyone this holiday season! Until next time, Ruth B

Mrs. Rickert, third grade teacher, was very intrigued as she had a deep interest in literature. Wendt planned on having his students write summaries after reading the book. He decided to let the third graders illustrate those summaries.
1956
60 Years Ago From the Dec. 20, 1056 Issue Mrs. Richard Fenner entertained at a coffee Saturday afternoon, Dec. 15 in honor of Scotty’s fifth birthday. The Beaver Blue Belles 4-H Club held their Christmas party at Mrs. Lawler’s house Dec. 17.

From time to time as Christmas approaches, I love to pull out one of my sons’ board books and read it to them. The book, written by Joseph Slate entitled “Who is Coming To Our House,” gives a glimpse of what happened in the barn over 2,000 years ago. “Who is coming to our house?” “Someone, someone,” says Mouse. Who is that someone? As Christmas approaches just a few short days ahead I’ll recite Matthew 1:18-2:12 of the New International Version. This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” which means, “God with us.” When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And
he gave him the name Jesus. After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.” When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: “’But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.’” Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go

and worship him.” After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route. When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled
what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.” When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: “A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.” After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.” So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.” Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you, our loyal readers. My family and I would like to wish you nothing but the best of health and good will in 2017. Ryan L. Harvey, of Hampton, is the president and CEO for MidAmerica Publishing Corporation.

NOBODY COVERS THE BULLDOGS LIKE WE DO!
A heartbreaking loss for Bulldog wrestlers compete in the Lady Bulldogs conference tournament by AUSTIN KREBER
REPORTER SPORTS WRITER
The girls basketball team fell in their one game this week in a heartbreaker, losing 42-40 to WoodwardGranger. Ogden looked like they were going to have the win in the bag going into the fourth. Ogden had been controlling the game throughout, opening up with a 7 point lead in the first quarter. Woodward-Granger cut the lead down to five going into the fourth. Then Ogden got really cold in the fourth, getting outscored 12-5. That allowed WoodwardGranger to come back and win the game. A common theme continued in this game and that is Ogden playing tight defense. While they didn’t force many steals (only 3) they did limit Woodward-Granger to 26% shooting. The only problem is that another theme continued, Ogden’s poor shooting. Ogden did shoot a bit better than that, posting a percentage of 29.7%. Where Ogden really struggled was the free throw line where they
went 11-18. Woodward-Granger by comparison went 17-21. Those extra points were key to WoodwardGranger’s win. So was WoodwardGranger’s defense. They had seven steals and they forced a number of contested shots. For Ogden, senior Ellee Laws had a great game. She ended up with 16 points while shooting an efficient 6-11 from the field. She also made all four of her free throw attempts. She retrieved 5 rebounds and 1 steal. Senior Lillie Longhorn provided a spark from the bench. She only had 5 points on 5 shots, but she led the teams in rebounds and blocks. She had 7 rebounds and a whopping 4 blocks. Ogden was supposed to have another game last week, a game against West Central Valley, but it was postponed due to weather. Overall, Ogden had a tough loss, but it was a game they had a tremendous shot of winning. Get a couple more bounces or make one more shot and Ogden would have walked away with the win. Ogden has one game next week against Van Meter on Tuesday.
Boys basketball defeats Woodward-Granger by AUSTIN KREBER
REPORTER SPORTS WRITER
The Ogden High School boys’ basketball team picked up their second win of the season with a 59 to 49 win over Woodward-Granger Tuesday, Dec. 13. Ogden was led by their two usual characters, Nathan Kennedy and Ben Heeren. Kennedy had a very good night, demonstrating his allaround game. He scored 22 points on 8-22 shooting. He was a very efficient 6-7 from the free throw line. He also added 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. It was a terrific game for him and every point of his was very important to Ogden’s victory. Ben Herren also had a very good game, recording yet another doubledouble. He ended up with 16 points on 5-6 shooting, 11 rebounds (4 offensive), 2 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. He did have 4 fouls in a game that the refs called very closely. Junior Jade Thompson struggled shooting (1 for 7 from the field), but
was perfect from the free throw line. He also led the team with 7 assists. Senior Andrew Haberer was pretty efficient, going 3-5 from the field for 6 points. It was a close game throughout all the quarters until Ogden blew up in the fourth quarter. Ogden started off strong, leading 15-10 after the first. Woodward-Granger didn’t give up, fighting back so they were actually leading by one point going into the fourth quarter. Ogden then exploded for 26 points in the fourth, which is impressive because they only scored 33 in the first three quarters. They played good defense and ended up plenty of breathing room. This win puts Ogden at 2-6 for the season. While that might not look pretty, Ogden is definitely better than the record shows. They have a lot of talent and may go on a run real soon. Their next game is Dec. 20 against Van Meter at Ogden.

In team results, the Ogden wrestling team didn’t have the best week, but there were some very impressive individual performances for the wrestlers. Ogden first participated in a triangular at Panorama where they lost all three matches to Panorama, AC/GC, and Southeast Valley. Then this Saturday they traveled to Woodward-Granger for a tournament. In that tournament, they only were able to pick up one team win to get their fifth place finish out of six teams. Ogden vs. AC/GC In the first match of the triangular, Ogden faced off against AC/GC. This was a close match as it was the bonus points that decided this one. It concluded with Ogden falling 41-39. There were only 4 wrestler vs. wrestler matches as this was filled with forfeits. Austin Flynn and Blake Haub were the two who picked up wins for Ogden. Haub pinned his opponents where Flynn won by decision. AC/GC wins were a pin and a technical fall. Those two extra bonus points was the difference maker. Ogden vs. SE Valley The next match was against Southeast Valley. There were 8 matches that didn’t have forfeits. Ogden won half of those matches, with Flynn, Taylon Engleen, Zachary McCloud, and Trent Ganoe pinning their opponents. Southeast Valley only had 3 pins and a narrow 2-1 decision so if this match was just based on those battles, Ogden would have won on bonus points. Alas, that isn’t how it is scored so Ogden fell in points 45-24. Ogden vs. Panorama The last match against Panorama wasn’t easy for Ogden. Ogden fell 54-12 and this time the score wasn’t very misleading. While Panorama did pick up a couple of forfeits (2 to be exact), they didn’t rely on them. There were 9 different matches between the two teams and Panorama won all but 2 of them. The lone victors for Ogden were Engleen and Garrett Bales who both pinned their opponents. Individual Results Southeast Valley 45 - OGDEN 24 113: Mason Goodwin (SEV) won by forfeit. 120: Sam Hemmestad (SEV) won by forfeit. 126: Austin Flynn (O) pinned Colton Klingson, :31. 132: Taylon Engleen (O) pinned Calvin Williamson, 1:50. 138: Double forfeit. 145: Trey Lawrence (SEV) pinned Jacob Kathman, 1:19. 152: Zach McCloud (O) pinned Jake Peterson, 1:54. 160: Carter Fluckiger (SEV) dec.

Panorama Tournament At the tournament, Ogden opened things up by going up against the hosts, Woodward-Granger. Ogden lost 54-18 in a match where Ogden only won 4 of the 8 battles. A lot of the bouts were close with 4 of them coming to decisions. Flynn, Engleen, Ganoe, and Parker Stone-
burner picked up the wins. The next match was even more in the opponent’s favor. Ogden fell to rivals Van Meter 61-12. In the 8 matches, only Ogden’s Jacob Kathman and Ganoe came away victorious. Ogden then played Panorama for the second time this week, with this result a little bit closer. Ogden eventually fell 48-21. Ogden picked up two forfeits this time, and also flipped a couple of wins. Ganoe and Stoneburner won this time around with Stoneburner pinning his opponent in 1 minute and 47 seconds. Ogden came out on the wrong side of a team loss to West Central Valley. Ogden ended up losing 42-33, but Ogden won 6 out of the 7 matches that involved two wrestlers. If the forfeits were taken out then Ogden would have won this match handily. Flynn, Kathman, Bales, Ganoe, and Stoneburner all picked up pins. Blake Haub won an exciting decision 12-9. Ogden then played AC/GC for the second time this week then, this time picking up the win. There were actually only two matches that took place, the rest were forfeits. AC/GC won one of them and Haub picked up the pin for Ogden’s sole win. That victory put Ogden at 5th place out of the 6 teams. Overall this was a tough week for team results, but some individuals had some very good games. Ogden won’t wrestle for a while.
