Possibility of closing the elementary building tops list of stories for 2016 THE YEAR IN REVIEW January Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee visits with Ogden residents at McGraw Senior Center. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee told the group gathered at McGraw Senior Center as president, his goal would be to get the country back in shape monetarily, militarily and ‘back to a place we are stable morally.’ “I believe our country’s in real trouble.” Some unusual noises could be heard coming from the railroad tracks here in Ogden last Monday morning.

Kicking off Ogden’s sesquicentennial year, The Ogden Reporter commits one page a week to ‘telling the story of our small town.’ Dakota Access Pipeline works to come through Boone County. There has been a trend of declining enrollment in Ogden schools. Because of that, public is invited to join conversations about common sense solutions for Ogden Community School District.

Every four years a national spotlight shines over our state when television and radio broadcasts are flooded with speculation about who will win the first in the nation caucus.
THIS PAST YEAR’S TOP STORIES
T
he Ogden Community School Board would be making some tough decisions, not only with staff, but school buildings as well. Due to declining enrollment Ogden Community Schools are faced with re-evaluating the current facilities. A plan devised by a Facility Committee recommended downsizing from three buildings to two. The school board endorsed the recommendation of the committee and voted to proceed with the development of a facilities plan to put before the voters. The recommendation is to close the elementary school and renovate the middle school and put an addition on the high school. The Dakota Access Pipeline that is sparking controversy nationwide has drawn protesters to Boone County. In an effort to halt construction of the pipeline, several individuals were arrested in a protest near Pilot Mound. Ogden turned 150 years old in 2016 and the community celebrated all throughout the year. Community members shared their stories/memories in a series of weekly articles. Ogden’s main street is seeing some very positive changes. The former Treloar Produce building has been renovated and will house three new businesses. RE/MAX Beacon Realty has opened its office in the front half of the building. Good Lawn Care and RCB Construction fill in the back portion. Work continues on the upper level that will soon house three apartments. Mary Kelly opened her gift shop Twice the Story on main street. Nurse practitioner Alison Good joined Walnut Street Health & Wellness. In August, after taking care of patients here for 55 years, Dr. Richard Vermillion announced his retirement. We received notice that another longtime local physician, Dr. Enfred Linder passed away the end of December. They touched so many lives with their gentle care.

USDA announces initiative to ease the transfer of land to the next generation DES MOINES, Iowa –Dec. 28, 2016 – During a farm visit on Thursday, Dec. 29 in Carlisle, USDA Deputy Under Secretary Lanon Baccam announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is offering an early termination opportunity for certain Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts in order to ease the way for farmers and landowners to transfer property to the next generation of farmers and livestock producers, including family members. The land that is eligible for the early termination is the least sensitive land enrolled in CRP and landowners can still keep the highest conservation value parts enrolled. Baccam was joined by Aaron
White, a farmer-veteran who, after serving in the United State Marine Corps (2001-2005), returned to Iowa to farm. White runs a row crop and cow/calf operation of his own and helps his father-in-law, Joe Dunn with day-to-day operations on Dunn’s adjacent farm. This change to the CRP program is just one of many that USDA has implemented based on recommendations from the Land Tenure Advisory Subcommittee formed by Secretary Vilsack in 2015. The Subcommittee was asked to identify ways the Department could use or modify its programs, regulations, and practices to address the challenges of beginning farmers and ranchers in their access to land,
capital and technical assistance. As a veteran, beginning and next generation farmer, White represents the potential beneficiaries of the CRP early termination provisions. Normally if a landowner terminates a CRP contract early, they are required to repay all previous payments plus interest. The new policy waives this repayment if the land is transferred to a new farmer or rancher through a sale or lease with an option to buy. With CRP enrollment close to the Congressionally-mandated cap of 24 million acres, the early termination will also allow USDA to enroll other land with higher conservation value elsewhere.

Immigrant makes his way to Ogden From Olgod, Denmark to Ogden, Iowa The Chris E. Christensen Story Roger Christensen and his wife Mary Ann of Ogden recently returned from Denmark where they had the pleasure of visiting their distant relatives - family members, they did not know, until recently, even existed. What brought them together? While writing his grandfather’s biography in 2012, Roger came across three generations of family history stored in boxes in the basement. Among the items was a box of letters from Denmark, saved by his grandparents. “The letters needed translated,” said Roger. “Keith and Harold Berg, friends from our community, recommended that Dr. James Iversen, Professor Emeritus Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University, do the translation.” Dr. Iverson would not accept any pay for his services. Instead he wanted a donation sent to the Museum of Danish America, a national museum located in Elk Horn, Iowa. Roger not only made a donation but decided to become a member of the museum in hopes of learning more about Danish immigration to the United States. Iowa, he learned, is home to one of the largest populations of Danish immigrants to settle in America. These letters turned out to be the key in determining if he had any living relatives in Denmark. The letters were from his grandfather’s sister who wrote about her two young children, mentioning them by name. That was the first clue. Another clue came from a family Bible. Recorded inside was his grandfather’s name and the town of Olgod, Denmark. He now had a starting point. “I prepared two large envelopes to be mailed to Olgod, Denmark with only the name of these two boys as the address on the envelopes. Included in the mailing were the translated letters, a letter to explain my interest in family history, and a ten-dollar bill.” It just so happens someone at the post office knew these people even though they had moved from the area. Amazingly the package was delivered. After several emails, they exchanged a list of family members in the generations after 1903. In the back of his mind Roger wondered about traveling abroad and visiting these long lost relatives. Through a museum newsletter, he read that the Danish Sisterhood of America organization was planning a tour to Copenhagen. The tour itinerary listed nine islands in ten days. He and Mary Ann booked the trip and began making arrangements to meet up with their extended Danish family. “Our meeting place was the Hvedholm Castle in Faaborg, Denmark, a coastal city.” Roger thought
a 15th Century castle was a fitting place to catch up on 100-plus years of family history. Roger and Mary Ann Christensen meet up with their Danish family. Front row: Mary Ann Christensen, Josefine Holmtoft. Back row: Roger Christensen; Christina, Caroline and Rasmus Holmtoft
Leaving behind his fatherland Roger’s grandfather, Christian Enevold Christensen, was born in Jylland, Denmark. The family later moved to Olgod. At 25 years of age, Christen would leave behind family and immigrate to America. He departed Liverpool England May 6, 1903 aboard the SS Lake Manitoba, and arrived in Quebec, Canada one week later.
“A trip to Denmark to visit the country where my grandfather grew up and never returned was unbelievable,” said Roger. “He left his homeland in 1903 for a better life. We were the first of any family members to visit and trace our family roots back to Denmark since 1903.”
Christensens take root in Iowa by Roger Christensen Given an introduction to a man in New Franklin, Wis. (near Green Bay), Chris quickly entered the United States. He spent a year getting his bearings and working at various jobs in New Franklin, then in Forest City, Iowa and St. Louis, Mo. While working at a fertilizer plant in St. Louis in 1904, he decided that he wanted to farm. Earlier in Forest City, Chris learned that some of the best farmland in Iowa was to be found near Ogden. At first he worked for Jim and Christine Treloar, earning $20 per month. The Treloar family treated him as one of the family and he often referred to them as “the nicest people in the world.” Later Chris worked for Jack and Ida Treloar, learning English by following the lines in the hymn book at church. After saving $150, Chris was able to rent the Sylvester Farm across from Margaret and Kem Williams’ farm. The two farms were adjacent and were located one mile west of Ogden and two and one-half miles south on a gravel road. It was through the Williams family that Chris met his future wife, Nell Gertrude Rockwell. On a fateful day in 1909, Chris went with Kem to meet the train on which Margaret’s sister Nell was traveling from St. Paul. Nell was planning to make her home with the Williams family. Two years later Nell and Chris were married. On February 27, 1911, Chris bought his first acreage, a 93.99 acre farm from Chris Eiby for $13, 628.55. The farm that Chris purchased adjoined the Williams’ farm. Chris and Nell had two sons, Paul and Gordon. The Christensen family was now rooted in the rich Ogden soil. Grandsons Roger, Rex and Daryl still live in the Ogden area. Greatgrandsons Craig and Cory have taken over the family farming operation. Christian Christensen was featured in an article published in a 1914 issue of History of Boone County. He “enjoyed the educa-
tional advantages provided in his native land and there for a time worked as a bookkeeper for a creamery company,” the author wrote of the Danish immigrant. “He held this position in Denmark for three years, learning valuable business methods and becoming acquainted with the industry which is the greatest of that country.” The author had this to say following Christensen’s first land purchase in Beaver Township: “He has improved this tract to such an extent that it is now considered one of the most valuable properties of his district. Mr. Christensen is thoroughly imbued with modern ideas regarding farming and is ever ready to adopt new methods in order to increase the yield of his acres and to raise the standard of his output.” Through letters, Christian stayed in contact with friends and relatives from his homeland. In these letters, his sister continually expressed her gratitude for packages received from her brother in America. Following are excerpts from a letter dated January 30, 1949 from his sister in response to a Christmas package she had received. “Dear Brother and Sister-inLaw. Yesterday about 4:30 PM, we got the large package. We say many thousand thanks for we were quite speechless when Otto came with it. He lives next door to the post office. The postmaster had told him that there had just come a package to his mother. But dear brother and sister-in-law, when we opened it and saw all that was there, Ott0 said, ‘You shouldn’t cry, Mother.’ . . . We don’t understand how you have collected these things. My kitchen is all filled up and there were eight here sitting this evening. They must see everything. You can believe that we will be sparing with these things. We will not eat it all
at once, but will share a little with Holger and Otto shall also taste some. The postmaster said to Otto that it was the biggest package that he had ever seen that had come from America and outside the package I found two pillowcases and a handkerchief and it was embroidered in the corner as a tea towel. One little handkerchief of linen here costs 7 kroner when one is fortunate enough to find one and has money for it. Yes, dear brother, we must not complain when now the cereal is given free, but we could get five
pounds of flour together and when blended with ground barley, is enough for a month. Now you have sent so much sugar, so I can save a little for when we are hungry. . . I was in to shop. Some things we can still not get since before the war. The Germans took everything.” . . An enclosed list of items included with the package: Raisins, prunes, sweet chocolate, cacao, coffee, rice, sugar.
Paul and Gordon followed in their father’s footsteps. They became the second generation of Christensens to farm near Ogden and the first generation to farm what is now the family farm. Gordon’s son Daryl, Roger and his brother Rex were the second generation to farm on that land. The third generation of Christensens to operate the family farm consists of Rex’s sons Craig and Cory. In all, four generations of Christensens have farmed in Ogden since 1911.

Comments made in a letter sent the following October indicated a slight improvement in the economic condition overseas. “Now we have today sugar, coffee, butter and chocolate which we could not get before,” wrote his sister. “It sounds like things are going well for you. It is the same for us. We have enough to eat and to keep warm, so come and see us. We can also buy meat which we could not during the war. If we got meat from a farm during the war, we had to hide it so no one would see it.”

The church of Christ Who are these people? There are three terms in the New Testament that describe God’s worker known as a preacher. These words are not only descriptive of the worker, but the work God expects of him. These terms are: minister, preacher and evangelist. Diakonos, meaning one who serves, a servant. A preacher is a minister or servant of Jesus Christ (1 Tim. 4:6). His work is to serve the Lord’s Word, the Gospel to all men (Acts 6:4; Rom. 15:16). A “good minister of Jesus Christ” must also “put the brethren in remembrance of these things...” (1 Tim. 4:6). Kerux which means a herald, a public proclaimer from the king who authoritatively declares the king’s law to the people which must be obeyed. The Lord authorized (1 Tim. 2:7) and sent out His preachers or “heralds” into all the world (Rom. 10:14-18). Their sole work is to proclaim His message, the gospel (2 Tim. 2:1-7; 4:1-5). The word “evangelist” is from the Greek word euangelistes and simply means a messenger of good. Christ gave evangelists (Eph. 4:11-12) to bear His good message, the “gospel” which means “good news.” Paul warned preachers to “do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry” (1 Tim. 4:5). The work of a preacher is short and simple in its description, but large and vital in its scope. We are told preachers are to be pastors or “shepherds” and counselors busy visiting, overseeing and guiding “the flock.” A gospel preacher is not a “pastor,” shepherd, elder or counselor. A pastor is a shepherd, the office of an elder, bishop or overseer. This is a different worker for the Lord with a different work. A pastor’s work is to shepherd and oversee the flock, watching for their souls (Acts 20: 17, 28; Heb. 13:17). A preacher appoints men qualified to do the work of a shepherd, but he does not do their work, as he has sufficient of his own (Acts 14:23, 21-25; Tit. 1:5-9; 1 Tim. 3:1-7). A gospel preacher is not a “deacon,” servant or caretaker of the church property or work. The church selects and the preacher appoints men as deacons to take care of this business. A preacher is not to leave the Word to serve tables, but give himself continually to prayer and serving the Word (Acts 6:1-4). See “In Search of the Lord’s Way”, Sunday at 7:30 am on KCWI, cable Ch. 9!

Dr. Enfred E. “Moley” Linder Herrold Arthur Rickey We’re saddened to finally have to answer no to the question “Is Doc in?” After 92 years of working 100% and playing 120%, Dr. Enfred E. “Moley” Linder passed away on Winter Solstice, December 21, 2016. Moley was happiest serving as medical doctor for the community of Ogden, hosting friends and family at the cabin on Twin Lakes, and cheering on his beloved Iowa Hawkeyes in Kinnick Stadium. Born in Pomeroy, Iowa, Moley grew up working in his father’s lumber yard, helping in the garden, shoveling coal, and making mischief with friends. His nickname “Moley” was passed down in the family for milking the “Mooley” cow. Against his parents’ wishes that he continue working in the local lumberyard, Moley hitchhiked to college in 1941 after graduating from Pomeroy High School. He attended the Iowa State Teachers Dr. Enfred E. Linder College in Cedar Falls, but when a hole in his eardrum kept him from being accepted into military service (he was rated 4F like George Bailey in It’s a Wonderful Life), he moved to Alaska to work. Moley eventually found a physician to scar his eardrum closed with phenol, allowing him to serve in the United States Navy Air Corps as a radioman and tailgunner. He remained forever proud of the time he served for our country. Following his military service, Moley attended the University of Iowa College of Medicine, graduating in 1951 with Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) distinction in the top 10 percent of his class. In college, Moley met his intellectual equal, Beth King Olmsted, and they were married in 1948. Following medical school, the couple moved to Los Angeles for a year of Moley’s medical internship before moving to Eldora and then finally to Ogden, the town Moley and Beth would call home for 35 years. While Moley was in practice, patients occasionally came knocking at the front door asking, “Is Doc in?” Dr. Linder delivered babies, performed surgeries, and even lent the family station wagon for use as both the hearse and the ambulance before emergency medical services were available. He was a respected family doctor. In addition to caring for families who lived in and around Ogden, Moley was committed to making his community a better place by serving on the school board and helping build both the Methodist Church and a new stateof-the-art high school. He tirelessly gave time as a member of the American Legion and State Medical Society, and he served as Chief of Staff for the Boone County Hospital as well as Chairman of the Board of Blue Shield of Iowa. Moley received the State of Iowa Athletic Team Physician Award and the 1976 “Dad of the Year” award from the University of Iowa. Moley loved the outdoors and sharing nature with others. He began water skiing on Twin Lakes in his youth and later taught many family friends to waterski with a 35-horsepower motorboat and homemade skis. Moley took up downhill skiing around age 55 and enjoyed it so much that he skied until he was 85 years old! He never missed annual fishing trips with friends to Leech Lake in Minnesota, and he hosted infamous Camp Linder golf tournaments and Twin Lakes flu shot parties each year. Moley loved playing golf and bridge, discussing books, and dancing to jazz music in both Iowa and Fresno, California, where he spent his winters after retiring in 1988. Beth and Moley remained dance, bridge, and travel partners until Beth’s death in 2004. Moley shared a close friendship with Patty Dunn for several years after Beth died. He came full circle to live his last few years in his hometown, Pomeroy. As his friends and family know, Moley was opinionated but always open and willing to learn. Even in the midst of his busy schedule, he always found a way to support his three children and five grandchildren by attending countless sports competitions and performances. He was proud of supporting local jazz musicians and establishing scholarships for students at the University of Northern Iowa (formerly Iowa Teachers College) and the University of Iowa. Moley is survived by his children, Jean Linder and her husband Paul Rempel of Fresno, California, Jo Linder and her husband Sam Solish of Portland, Maine, and David Linder and his wife Katherine “KAP” Linder of Twin Lakes; five grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his wife of 56 years Beth; parents, Enfred L. and Marie (Davidsen) Linder; and sisters, Eleanor Grubb, Jo Rohlfs, and Dorothy Reynolds. Moley made a difference in all our lives. As his children and grandchildren, we welcome and appreciate any stories and memories you have of our Dad and Grandpa. He had a profound effect on our lives, and we appreciate learning more about Moley’s life. Memorials may be made to the Linder Family Scholarship at the University of Iowa Foundation. We will hold a service to celebrate Moley in summer 2017.
Herrold Arthur Rickey, 90, died peacefully Monday, Dec. 26, 2016, surrounded by the love of his family. Funeral services were held Friday, Dec. 30, 2016, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Ogden. Pastor Chris Cowan officiated. Burial was at Robbins Cemetery, rural Woodward, Iowa. For online obituaries and condolences please visit: www.carsonstappfuneralhome.com Herrold Rickey was born May 1, 1926, to Arthur and Birdie (Herrold) Rickey on a farm south of Woodward, Iowa. He graduated from Woodward High School in 1944. After graduating, he met Doris Cireta Mowrer from Perry, Iowa. They fell in love and were married on June 2, 1946. Shortly after their marriage, Cireta became ill and had to go to Oakdale Hospital. Of course, Herrold followed her there where he worked as a maintenance worker. Together they raised five children: Diane (Lee) Amundson, Connie (Steve) Pearson, Mary (Mark) Boyd, Martha Ervin, and Glen (Kristen) HERROLD RICKEY Rickey. The family was blessed with 12 1926 - 2016 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. Herrold worked hard all his life in several jobs, including on the farm, the gas station, the grain elevator, the creamery truck, and building awnings. He sharpened saws out of his home beyond his 90th birthday. He was very proud of his work at Northern Natural Gas, where he retired in 1983 after working 37 years. Herrold was loved and respected by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. To his family, he was dad or grandpa, the man who shared his home, his love, and his strength and loved us all unconditionally. The times we had together at the lake and at the Rickey Christmas were memories we will cherish. To his friends and neighbors he was someone you could always count on, to plow a garden, sharpen a saw, enjoy conversation on the deck, and share his knowledge to help solve a problem. He cherished his special friend, Sylvia, and greatly enjoyed their long rides in the countryside and many conversations over dinner. To all of us he was the model for the best we could aspire to be: kind, generous, and unassuming despite the great man we all recognized him to be. We were blessed to be a part of his life and will miss him greatly. He was preceded in death by his mother and father, his wife of 64 years, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family.

After weeks of practice, the OHS cast and Director Michael Jones were ready to present this fall’s musical “Footloose.” Former OHS wrestling coach Brian Reimers was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. December Fundraising efforts get underway to “Save the Marquee” of the former Ogden Theater. Boone County Hospital announces they are opening BCH Rehab Services in Ogden Jan. 3, 2017. The new clinic is located at 317 West Walnut Street, across the street from Boone County Family Medicine. A new lighted Christmas display of a soldier kneeling before a cross serves as a reminder to never forget our fallen soldiers. The Ogden school board votes to proceed with the development of a facilities plan. The Facilities Committee recommended downsizing from three school buildings to two. This would be accomplished by closing the elementary, moving grades PreK-4 or Pre-K-5 into the middle school and building a middle school addition to the high school for grades 5-8 or 6-8. Ogden residents gather in celebration of Christmas. Lucy and Charlie Brown, in carrying out this year’s Christmas celebration theme (A Charlie Brown Christmas), welcomed everyone as they entered the door of Water’s Edge Church. Officers responded to a report of a drowning victim at Don Williams Lake. Seamstress Beth Bolton volunteers her time assisting students with independent craft projects. Cheryl Tevis of Pilot Mound recently returned from Cuba where she learned first hand the joys and challenges of the Cuban people.

Affiliated Foods Midwest (the grocery supplier for Clark’s Food Mart since 1991) has merged with Associated Wholesale Grocerys (AWG). Over time, the Shur Fine label will be replaced with the Best Choice label and products. The Value Time and Clear Value label will be replaced with the Always Save label and products. Best Choice® offers customers the best quality for the best price, and items are equal to or better than the national brand quality. The Best Choice® brand products are priced lower than the leading national brands because they don’t carry the advertising and promotional costs that the national brands have.
