Music of the season High school musicians treat the community with holiday concerts

McGraw Senior Center (former Ogden Theater)

Campaigning to save the theatre marquee With Ogden just having celebrated its Sesquicentennial, now is a great time to bring back memories of our home town by restoring the marquee that at one time advertised the current week’s movie feature at McGraw Theatre. Time and weather have taken its toll on the once prominent fixture along main street. The former theater is now the location of McGraw Senior Center. Although the Board of Directors of the McGraw Center have done minor repairs over the years, time has come for some major restoration. This old main street photo from the 1940s (to the right) gives a glimpse of how the marquee appeared then. “We would like to restore it to a close facsimile of the original,” says board member Barb Henning, “but we might be hindered structurally.” Henning also owns Everlastings Flowers & Gifts, two doors down from the center. Not only are they looking to restore the marquee but plans are to make it informational as well, by incorporating an electronic message board. What better way to advertise upcoming events for community

organizations, churches and the school than a lit sign visible from both directions. Henning says no plans are finalized as the board is currently seeking input from contractors. They have received over $500 in private donations and are researching other forms of monetary support. Anyone interested in “helping to save the marquee” can contact Henning at 515-275-2208.

The Ogden High School concert band performed in concert Monday, Dec. 19 in the OHS Auditorium. The band is under the direction of Jeremy Britton.

Christmas is a time for giving, not only to children, but the elderly as well She has done her share of visiting friends and family in nursing homes, and Lola Sorensen says it just breaks her heart seeing some residents so alone. “Many have been forgotten, so I thought this year it would be nice to give them something. Something warm to throw over their legs. I wanted to let them know there are people who care.” Sorensen, who lives in Ogden, reached out to the local manor and a nursing home in Stratford where she also knows some residents. She asked staff for a list of names - those

who rarely, or may never have visitors. Although the idea came to Sorensen just the beginning of December, she wrapped and delivered a total of 27 lap blankets in time for Christmas. Some were crocheted by a good friend from Story City, using yarn donated by the husband of another friend who was recently deceased. Sorensen sat down and hand tied several fleece lap blankets. The card on each wrapped gift simply states, “From someone who cares.”

Do you believe in miracles? Sometimes seeing is believing A consecrated host becomes living flesh. A statue of Jesus weeps tears and blood. God dictates messages to a woman who bleeds from her hands, feet, and head. Is there solid evidence validating these claims? What does science have to say about these claims? If they really are “Signs From God”, then what implications do they have for your life? What message is God wanting to convey? All are invited to a breathtaking presentation, Signs From God-Miracles and Their Meaning, at St. John Catholic Church Thursday, Jan. 12 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. A chili dinner will be served from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. Dynamic speaker Tim Francis will follow the fascinating journey of attorney and author Ron Tesoriero and respected investigative journalist Mike Willesee, in pursuit of answers to these questions. Their story comes alive in powerful narrative and amazing film footage. Who should come and who should you bring?

Ensuring a safe work environment is not always easy, but organizations in all industries should understand the potential impacts of an accident. Accidents in the work environment may result in employee injury, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sanctions and fines, increased insurance premiums and more. Proactively conducting a hazard analysis and implementing a safety program helps an organization create a safe, healthy environment. Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) has partnered with the Iowa Illinois Safety Council (IISC) to offer an Essentials of Safety Program Management certificate

program. This training is designed for organizations looking to develop a defined safety program, new safety committee members, human resource managers and individuals who want to know more about workplace safety and OSHA standards. Participants will leave with an action plan and resources needed to begin developing an individualized plan for their organization. DMACC Business Consultant Jacki Boldt said the program will help businesses determine what hazards exist in their organization, develop a comprehensive safety plan and learn how to handle an accident should one occur.

“This certificate gives organizations a foundation of information around the importance of safety and hazard analysis,” said Boldt. “Too often, safety is associated solely with manufacturing firms, but it is essential for organizations of all sizes and across all industries. We are excited to be working with the IISC to bring this program to organizations in Central Iowa.” The Safety Management certificate can be earned in five half-day sessions held once a month starting in February. The sessions will be held from 8 a.m. to noon at the DMACC Southridge Center, Room 20B. The cost is $750 and includes two hours of personalized consult-

ing services specific to your organization. The dates and topics of the sessions are as follows: • February 9th—Introduction to OSHA • March 9th—OSHA Required Recordkeeping • April 13th—Developing a Comprehensive Training Plan • May 4th—Accident Investigation • June 1st—Introduction to Change Management For more detailed course information and to register, contact Jacki Boldt at (515) 256-4915 or jlboldt@ dmacc.edu.

And the wheels keep on spinning by KATHY PIERCE

REPORTER STAFF WRITER

At 96 and 92 years of age Warren and his wife Ruth Christensen have fond memories of their 14 years operating Spinning Wheels skating rink in Ogden. “Gordon, Beverly and Warren always talked about the fun they had at the rink on the edge of Ledges State Park,” said Ruth. “Then one day Gordon and Beverly approached us about being co-owners of a rink to give the young people in surrounding communities a clean place to spend their time. They were always saying there was no place to go and nothing for them to do.” (Times never change.) In 1960 the two couples purchased three acres of ground at the corner of Fourth and Division Street and built a 70’ x 150’ building. Although Eugene Buckley was the contractor, Ruth recalls a lot of volunteers helping with the project. But she admits they hired a professional floor layer experienced in laying skating rinks, who installed the 11,000 square feet of maple flooring. The boards measured 2 1/4” wide by 1 1/8” thick, and never once in the 14 years of use, need refinishing. Opening night: Christensen’s determined a date the work would be done then published the grand opening date in the paper. “Well it wasn’t quite all finished.” Ruth explained that the company was still working on the sound system when they opened that Saturday night. “The rented skates were still in the boxes so everyone who rented a pair was asked to lace them up with Warren and Gordon coming along and adjusting them. The sound system went down. I remember Roger Christensen getting a record player to use until the system was working properly.” Folding chairs surrounded the rink for non skaters to watch. Skate rental was 25¢ and admission 45¢. When they handed the keys over to Charles and Clara Clark 14 years later, rental was still the same but admission had been increased to $1.50. “The first three years were not what we expected attendance wise, then we realized this generation didn’t want organ music so we adapted to their type of music,” said Ruth. “Our business then grew really fast. We had open skating every Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday night and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Soon we were booked up solid!” When classes started back at Iowa State, the Christensens started booking parties later in the evening. They were so busy, most weekends they had three skating sessions Saturday and Sunday nights. Both Ruth and Warren (Warnie

to all his young skaters) say that their favorite times were the New Year’s Eve skating parties. “It was a lot of work but the youngsters enjoyed celebrating all night until 4 or 5 a.m.,” they said. “The crowd started thinning out about 1 a.m. but it was amazing how so many were permitted to stay until we locked the doors at 5.” Party hats and streamers were handed out and at the stroke of midnight, they cut loose the huge bag of balloons suspended over the rink. New Year’s Eve and Saturday night late skates once a month were limited to those junior high age or older. The owners took pride in the fact that in all those years, they never had a problem that Warren or Gordon could not resolve.

stopped. A giant pillowed dice was thrown. If your number was on top, you had to sit down. One of the more challenging games involved gathering speed, then crouching down on one skate. The object was to be the last one “standing.” Rules allowed the skater to paddle along with one hand and nudge opponents over, thus eliminating them. Hokey Pokey was one event in which everyone could participate - and most everyone did. Skaters lined up along the painted center oval and followed the whimsical lyrics - “You put your right hand in, you take your right hand out . . .” Each night featured backwards skates and the two-step. Dimmed lights and a mirrored ball provided a romantic atmosphere during the couples skate.

Game time

Change in ownership

Winners of the various games were rewarded with candy bars and stuffed animals. “We gave away so many cuddly stuffed animals that we bought wholesale first in Kansas City until we found an outlet in Omaha,” said Ruth. Games included the limbo, dice game where you skated around then stopped at a corner (numbered one through four) when the music

Charles and Clara Clark purchased the skating rink in 1975, carrying on the roller skating tradition in Ogden. As they looked to sell and officially retire forty-one years later, and the wheels were still turning. The Limbo, Hokey Pokey and Dodge Ball would remain popular. “YMCA” by the music group, the Village People caught on in the late 70s and early 80s, and the Chicken Joe and Cheri Schmidt plan on contributing to the community through traditions kept and new memories made. -Photos by Becky Blair Dance popularized decades later, helped break the monotony of skating around in circles. Records went by the wayside, replaced with CDs. Clara admitted that even those were becoming obsolete. Charles and Clara did some building upgrades over the years - new windows, new roof, replacement of air conditioning and heating units - but as for the flooring? Those same maple boards are still

holding strong. Schmidt’s purchase Spinning Wheels Joe Schmidt grew up just a few blocks away from the skating rink and had spent many hours there. When the opportunity came for him and his wife to purchase the business from longtime owners Charles and Clara, they were thrilled.

The Schmidt’s purchased Spinning Wheels in July of 2016. They are in the process of remodeling the restrooms, painting, and updating the sound system and music. Although they brought a new face to the hometown business, Joe and Cheri said they would still be carrying on the tradition of once a month late skates, Halloween parties, New Year’s Eve Skates and of course continuing the traditional games.

A blast from the past - I spy . . .

After over four decades, Clara and Charles Clark handed over the keys to Spinning Wheels.

Health News . . .

Spinal misalignments linked to recurring headaches By Dr. Rick Elbert, Ogden Doctor of Chiropractic According to recent estimates, more than 20 million Americans may be victims of chronic headaches. In a pamphlet produced by the California Chiropractic Association, it is suggested that many of these headaches are caused by structural spinal misalignment. As an example, the pamphlet cites the distribution of “Sympathetic” nerves that pass through the neck to influence the circulation of blood through the head. Poor posture in the neck or poor head carriage could produce nerve interference which would result in headaches. The pamphlet further points to poor postural habits and abnormal sleeping positions as major causes of headaches. Poor posture causes a gradual shifting of the normal curvature of the spine which results in a reduction of the size of the openings between the spinal segments through which nerves pass. When this happens, the nerves are ‘pinched’ and cannot function properly. Such malfunction can be likened to the case of a garden hose which has been pinched by someone stepping

The church of Christ, Who are these people?

If time continues, death will happen to us all as the writer of Hebrews put it, “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). What can we do in the face of this unavoidable appointment? We can be properly prepared. The good news of the gospel is that we do not have to face death unprepared and uncertain. If we are to be properly prepared for death, there are some things we need to know. First, we need to understand that God created man in His own image and formed the spirit of man within him (Genesis 1:26-27; Zechariah 12:1).One of the great truths revealed in the Bible is that mankind is unique in creation as the possessor of a soul. God is a spirit and it is our immortal spirit or soul that links us with Him (John 4:24). We also need to know that when the spirit departs from the body death occurs (James 2:26; Genesis 35:18). Thankfully, our existence is not tied up in our physical bodies. At death, the spirit returns to God who gave it (Genesis 3:19, Ecclesiastes 12:7). Thirdly, we need to understand that death is not the end. Jesus said in John 11:25, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” To be properly prepared for death, we must understand that our death marks, not an end of existence, but a change in the state of our existence. Fourthly, we need to know and understand that there is going to be a resurrection. Jesus said, “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation” (John 5:28-29). Proper preparation for death requires us to the gospel of Jesus Christ. In giving Himself on the cross, it was Jesus’ purpose that we pass from death (eternal separation) unto life (eternity with God). Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24). You can be assured that while you have no power over physical death, there is no need for you to face it unprepared and uncertain (Ecclesiastes 8:8; Revelation 2:11; 20:6; 20:14; 21:8). 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! 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.

Chronic headache sufferers should consult a Doctor of Chiropractic who is trained to deal with spinal misalignments and distortions to see if he can solve their problems.

Dr. Enfred “Moley” E. Linder Dr. Enfred “Moley” E. Linder, 92, passed away Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2016 at the Pomeroy Care Center in Pomeroy. Memorial services will be at a later date in 2017.

on it. Even if the faucet is turned on full force, only a trickle of water will come out the end of the water hose so long as the person’s foot is pinching it. Many people are in the habit of sleeping on their stomachs with the head turned to one side. This causes a distortion of the neck and over a prolonged period of time the distortion will become ‘set.’ This may cause a disturbance of the nerves that serve the head and produce headaches. Unless this distortion is corrected, the headache problem will continue.

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man. - Benjamin Franklin

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Tis the season – the season for giving, for receiving, for rejoicing, for dreams and wishes to come true. Everywhere you look this is out there. Holiday music blasting on the radio, television commercials touting big sales, buy, buy, buy, newspaper ads bought by hopeful merchants that it will be a prosperous gift buying season, and the internet. The internet has brought a whole new level to the commercialism of what was once upon a time a simple religious event. Such is life today. Like most people, I have to admit, I enjoy the holiday celebrations. It truly is a beautiful time of the year, with new snow frosting the mountaintops while the skiers wait in anxious expectation for much more to come. It’s been a sparse year so far for snowfall on Taos Mountain. November was so warm that they were not even able to make enough artificial snow in time for the usual opening day Thanksgiving week and opening was set back to mid December. I love the festive lighting display in town. Since I moved here in 2000, it has gotten more elaborate each year. The plaza is all decked out and with a little snow, it definitely is a winter wonderland. There are so many things to enjoy about the holiday season, if we can overlook the excessive commercialism and artificial trappings. I was reminded of this last week when I stopped at the grocery store one day, in a hurry, rushing to get a few groceries and get home in time to get the night feeding done before dark. Walking from my car, I was distracted, reading my grocery list as I walked along. Nearly ran into someone, looked up and we laughed as I said “sorry, can’t read and walk!” Just before the door, a man pushing a shopping cart said hello to me and I said hi back, not really registering who it was. He had a little girl with him, her head down as they walked past. I didn’t even notice that it was one of my little riding students. Suddenly I heard a little shriek “RUTH!!!” I turned around to see the little girl running full speed back to me. She wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged me. And hugged me. And kept hugging me. Her dad came back to get her and we chatted for a couple minutes. The whole time, she was hugging me as if she hadn’t seen me in years and that I was the most important person in her world. It had actually been less than a week since she’d been out to the holiday party. But I wasn’t complaining. That little girl’s energy was so pure, so sweet, and so loving. It was like absolute joy radiated from her as she hugged me tightly. My eyes filled with tears as I stood there, moved by the feeling of love that was almost overwhelming, coming from such a small child. Her mom had told me one time after her riding lesson that her daughter adored me. I don’t know what I did to deserve that, but it sure felt good. I noticed as I said goodbye to the girl and her dad that some of the other shoppers heading into the store were smiling also. I couldn’t wipe the silly grin off my face as I walked into the store, totally forgetting what I’d come for. I felt like I’d been hugged by an angel, energized and happy. As I drove home, I thought of what a difficult year it had been. There were many challenges and hard times. I occasionally have doubts about whether the work I do is worth the hardships. At that moment I knew that I will not question it again for a long time, if ever. The pure happiness of that little girl that day wiped away any doubts. To see the world with that kind of innocence is to know that there is hope for the future and joy to be found, even in the hard times. It seems a bit cliché to say that one smile, one gesture, one person reaching out to another in kindness can make a huge difference. My experience that day made me realize that this really is true. Who would have thought that a hug from a child could make my day go from average to extraordinary, and uplift my spirits to make me forget any cares or worries I had. Suddenly my holidays became brighter, and my steps lighter. It reminded me of one of my favorite Christmas tales, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, when it dawned on the Grinch that maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more than just presents and feasting. And how the Grinch’s shrunken heart grew three sizes larger. I felt like my heart had grown three times larger that day! Yes, Christmas is definitely in the air. Enjoy! Until next time, Ruth B

DVD After Earth Inside Out Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors Finding Dory ADULT FICTION Turbo Twenty-three by J. Evanovich Cross the Line by James Patterson The Sleeping Beauty Killer by Mary H. Clark

to the editor: After reading the article about the new physical therapy clinic in the Dec. 15th issue of the Boone News Republican, I was concerned that people in the area might not be aware of an existing clinic One to One Physical Therapy that has beeen located in Ogden for many years. A long established rehab center in Ogden, One to One Physical Therapy, has taken care of much of Ogden and Boone rehab services for over ten years, specializing in chronic pain along with other areas I have not experienced, such as care before and after surgery, treatment of dizziness to name a few. A lot of athletes from surrounding schools come to One to One Physical Therapy which is located at the east edge of Ogden on old highway 30. It is listed in the white and yellow pages and also relies on word of mouth advertising. Shantel Smith, MSPT, has been practicing over 20 years, has 4 other employees, including Katie Ohms, DPT, with over 6 years of experience, Aleesha Angstrom, PT Assistant, 6 years experience, MacKenzie Harris, PT Assistant, 6 months experience and Mindy Wagner, receptionist for 6 months. I have had personal experience the last few months utilizing the expertise of the clinic personnel. They have helped to relieve pain I have experienced for a number of years - better than any other medication or treatments that have been used. I highly recommend One to One Physical Therapy which can be reached by calling 515-275-4003.

Van Meter defeats Ogden Bulldogs 64-55 by AUSTIN KREBER

REPORTER SPORTS WRITER

Ogden boys fell behind in the second quarter and couldn’t ever recover in their 64-55 loss to Van Meter Tuesday night. Things were looking good in the first quarter for Ogden after locking up with Van Meter 12-12. Van Meter started making some more shots though, and in the second quarter opened up a 6 point lead. After the third quarter, Van Meter pushed the lead to 10 points. Ogden tried to mount a come back but fell short. Ogden’s shooting wasn’t a big problem like it has been in the past. Ogden shot a very respectable 43.8% from the field. The only problem was that Van Meter was shooting even better, firing at a 54.5% clip from the field. They also were a near perfect 11-12 from the free throw line which was very important down the stretch. Van Meter also made it hard to score in the paint. They tallied 9 blocks, including 7 by just one player. Ogden’s biggest problem this game was the supporting cast. Star

players Ben Heeren and Nathan Kennedy combined for 40 out of the 55 points for Ogden. Heeren led the team with 22 points and Kennedy wasn’t far behind with 18. The next highest was Noah Snedden with 5 points. I know that the other Ogden players don’t shoot as high as volume as Heeren and Kennedy, but when the other players do shoot they need to be more efficient. Heeren did have a tremendous night scoring. He was 8-14 from the field including a tremendous 4-7 from the three point line. He also added 6 rebounds including 4 that were offensive rebounds. Those 6 rebounds tied Snedden for the most on the team. Junior Jade Thompson had only three points, but that came on only two shots plus he added on a team-leading six assists. To have more success this season, Ogden needs some other scorers to step up in big games like this. Ogden has great ball movement (16 assists on 21 made baskets), they just need another big scoring threat to emerge. Right now Ogden is 2-6 with their next game coming January 3 at Panorama.

After a tremendous start, the girls’ basketball team fell 61-42 to Van Meter Tuesday night. The Ogden Bulldogs started off strong, eventually opening up a 4 point lead going into the 2nd quarter. Van Meter struck back, holding Ogden to only 7 points in the second quarter. That allowed Van Meter to lead 26-24 heading into the locker rooms. Van Meter came out of the break with intense defense, only allowing Ogden to score 3 points while scoring 14 of their own. Van Meter then kept their foot on the gas and finished the game 61-42. Ogden had a couple of difficulties in this game. The first was turning the ball over. Van Meter played very high pressure and didn’t allow Ogden much space. Because of this, Van Meter stole the ball 17 times from Ogden. Those steals were the reason why Van Meter shot the ball 18 more times than Ogden did. It was those extra shots that won Van Meter the game. Their shooting percentages were virtually identical, Ogden shooting 43.8% from the field and Van Meter 44%. It was the

extra volume that gave Van Meter so many extra points. With that being said, Ogden did have trouble finding someone to score consistently. Ogden only had 6 players score this game which needs to bump up, especially because Ogden plays a lot of players. The good thing though is that those players who didn’t score were able to contribute in other ways, like Ashton Boggess who didn’t score but had a rebound, an assist, and two steals. Still, while that is good and all, Ogden needs some scorers to step up. That isn’t to say that Ogden didn’t have some big time performers. Sophomore Abby Langel led Ogden with 16 points. She was a blistering 4/6 from downtown so that’s where the majority of her points were from. She also added on 3 rebounds and an assist. Senior Ellee Laws had herself a good game too with 8 points and led the team with 6 rebounds. Kennedy Kruse had a very efficient night, going 3/3 from the field. All her makes were three pointers, giving her 9 points to go with her 4 rebounds and two assists. Ogden shot decently well and had

some good performances from their players. They do need to fix their turnovers. Van Meter stole the ball 17 times so that needs to change, especially when Ogden only stole the ball 3 times themselves. Ogden now is on a 4 game losing streak, bringing their overall record to 4-4. Their next game is January 3 at Panorama.

May your New Year bring you rich blessings!

When it came time to name the newly renovated food stand building, the fair board decided upon “The Erb Center” as a way to say thank you to board member Patrick Erb for his vision to renovate the building and his countless volunteer hours on the construction. The Erb Center has been years in the making, but now complete, offers a great facility for use year round. For years the 4-H Food stand has been a important building during the fair, but in the off season had little use. It was fair board member Patrick Erb a carpenter by trade, who suggested we renovate the building to allow for year round use. The Fair Board in cooperation with Boone County ISU Extension & Outreach 4-H program fundraised nearly $80,000 for the renovation. The project started by first knocking down the wall that separate the building into two different food stands, the 4-H side, and the east side. A kitchen and restrooms were added on and the east awning was enclosed to make the building even larger. Now the space is a great 30’ x 84’ building, which can hold up to 100 people. The 2016 Boone County Fair marked the inaugural year of use for

the 4-Hers in the food stand, and they couldn’t be happier about the newly renovated space. When the Fair is not in session, the Fair Board has now added The Erb Center to the list of buildings able to be rented on the fairgrounds. Complete with heat and AC, round tables and chairs, a full kitchen and at an affordable rental rate The Erb Center would be a great place to hold your next gathering. “We really hope the community uses the space, it will be great for family gatherings, graduation parties or business meetings,” explains Fair Manager Ashley Fitzgerald, “we have already had a few people use the building for family holiday parties, I just keep thinking, why go through the hassle of cleaning up your house, when you can hold your event here? - it just makes sense!” The Fair Board would like to thank all who donated funds as well as time to make this building renovation a possibility. They will be hanging a permeant plaque in the building to thank those who had a part in the building completion. For more information about The Erb Center, or to make a reservation go online to www.boonecountyfairia.com or call the fair office at 515-462-5899.
