Manor celebrates State Fair week Instead of going to the State Fair, Ogden Manor residents had the fair experience brought to them last week, courtesy of Ogden Lions Club, who sponsored the Hovick Family Farm Petting Zoo out of Roland. Residents enjoyed a beautiful morning outside amid a menagerie of farm animals including a miniature horse with baby, a llama, donkey, goat, young calf, sheep, pigmy goat, ducks, turkey and a chicken.

Local man dies in roll-over accident An accident near Pilot Mound early morning Sunday, Aug. 4 claimed the life of a rural Ogden man. Boone County deputies Wingate and Pontius, along with Boxholm Fire Department and Ogden First Responders were called to a rollover accident in the 300 block of 130th Street northwest of Ogden.. The driver, Wayne Merriam, 30, who had been ejected from his jeep, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Her own little way of helping According to Norma Jean Herridge, the idea came to her in a dream: “If you crochet it, we will sell it,” was the message. She wanted to help with the new medical clinic, and for a person on a fixed income, this would provide her the perfect opportunity. Herridge crocheted over 40 doilies ranging in size from 6” to 36”. Framed doilies will be on display at three of Ogden’s downtown businesses: Plahn & Simple Designs, Everlastings Flowers & Gifts, and The Well. Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the clinic can drop it off at one of the locations. You will in turn get your choice of a doily, handmade by the local craftsman. With a $100 plus donation you receive a large doily, $50 - medium, $25 - small. “By doing this, I thought maybe I could encourage others to give of their talents as well,” says Herridge who has been crocheting since she was a little girl.

Jodi Hamilton had never even heard of the American Mobile Retail Association but when researching online for a way to promote her small in-home business and reach out to more people, she came across an innovative way of marketing her women’s accessories. She would not wait for customers to come her, but take her shop to the customers. It’s been three months since the Boone entrepreneur started her mobile boutique. She proudly announces she is the first retailer from the state of Iowa to join the Mobile Retail Association and just the eighth member from the entire Midwest branch. It all began in August of last year when Hamilton, with the help of her husband, cleared and remodeled a multi-purpose room in their home on Marion Street in Boone for her upstart business, “The Diva
Inside.” “I’m the type of person who likes to help people and I love to shop,” said Hamilton. She could do both while fulfilling a dream of opening her own store. Her one goal was to specialize in unique, fun and affordable fashion clothing and accessories. She felt if she kept prices reasonable, customers could by multiply items in multiple colors. Hamilton balanced her day job with evening and weekend hours catering to her boutique customers. She was finding it more and more difficult to do both and often called on her mother and sisters to help when she could not be in the shop. It was last May that she took the MOBILE BOUTIQUE please turn to page five

Ruth’s Reflections It has been one long, long week. I didn’t realize how tiring having a litter of puppies is. Kelly had started having her pups last Sunday. I had read up on what to expect when your pregnant dog is expecting, so I knew it could take up to 12 hours or so for her to give birth to all the puppies. But when I went to bed late Sunday night, after about 10 hours of puppy watch, I thought she was all done. She’d had four puppies. One was born dead, which is fairly common for a first time mama dog. About 2:30 in the morning I woke up and let Kelly go outside for a little while. She came back in and dribbled all over the floor. I was half asleep, grumbling as I cleaned up the mess before going back to bed. The next morning I checked on Kelly and her pups before going out to feed the horses. They were snoozing quietly. I walked out the door, then stopped, thought for a minute – I knew I’d wrapped up the dead puppy and put it out in the garage – but I could have sworn there were four in the basket. So I went back inside and counted. Sure enough, she’d had another puppy sometime during the night. So now we were back to four. I was a bit paranoid then and kept checking on her throughout the day to make sure she didn’t slip any more out. But that was it – three males and one little female. They are darling little puppies, mostly black like Hank, their daddy, with shiny Lab coats and square heads like Hank. A few have cream colored markings like Kelly, but none have her long legs and sleek shape. They all look like fat little black sausages. Kelly’s a good mom, but she still gets stressed easily if there’s a lot of activity. I’d made the bed for the new family out on the back porch, which has a large window. I thought it’d be quiet and comfy for them. But after a couple days, those darned pups started howling all the time. I couldn’t figure out what the problem was. It was hard to believe that they weren’t getting enough milk because they all looked quite plump and healthy. Those little critters sure have powerful lungs. All four got to howling and kept me up most of the night. The next day I did more research, trying to figure out what the problem could be. I learned that too much light is hard on newborn puppies, even though their eyes aren’t open yet. So I put a curtain across the window, and made the back porch semi dark. That made a huge difference and soon the pups were contentedly sleeping when they weren’t nursing. Kelly likes the richer puppy chow that I’m feeding her now. If she gets upset or worried the puppies get fussy and howl, but luckily that doesn’t happen too often. She’s a good mama, but now that her babies are a week old she’s enjoying going out in the yard more while they nap. When they RUTH’S REFLECTIONS

wake up and start crying, she’s good about coming back inside for them. We’ve got a schedule set so she gets to go outdoors regularly. Thank goodness, no more messes on the floor. Having puppies is just plain messy at first. It seems like I did more cleanup with Kelly than I did when the horses and donkeys had their babies. With the equines it was just one big mess, then that was it. But babies are sweet, even if they are a bit of extra work. It’s fun watching them get bigger every day and seeing their little personalities start to emerge. The female, born last, is the smallest of the litter. She’s the one that I’ll probably end up keeping. She’s most like Kelly, sweet and quiet. The first born I nicknamed Hank Jr. He’s the biggest of the pups and already acts just like his dad, pushy and rambunctious. And my other “baby�, little Hope the orphaned filly, is almost six months old now. She has blossomed into a sweet, confident little horse. So confident, the other day she and Casey, her 33 year old companion horse, headed out the front gate and over to the neighbor’s. They had enjoyed having the run of the property during the day up until this happened. Now they just get to be out loose when the sanctuary is closed and the gate is closed. Darned kids anyway. They grow up too fast! Until next time, Ruth B.

Scouts return from the Boundary Waters Eight Scouts and five adults from Ogden Boy Scout Troop 155 spent eight days on the lakes during their canoe trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota from July 4-13. Participating in the adventure were Austin Bebb, Fletcher Smith, Gershom Levi, Jonathan Levi, Max Smith, Micah Levi, Torin Smith and Tristan Verkade. Adults included Christopher Levi, Geoff Verkade, Ralph Walker, Sharon Scandrett and Ted Smith. The participants broke into two groups. Their 55 mile journey through lakes included 34 portages (transporting canoes across land) ranging from a few feet to approximately 1,500 feet. Following an 8 hour drive to the canoe wilderness area northeast of Ely, MN the scouts reached their
destination. The next morning they were on the water. “By the afternoon, we were getting well acquainted with the mosquitos,” commented Scoutmaster Walker. “Actually they were worse on the portages. Forest fires went through here a few years ago and for some reason the mosquitos were horrendous in that burnt out section. Once we got past that they were a lot more tolerable.” Scouts listened to the loons at night talking back and forth across the lakes. Other entertainment came from small ducklings wandering about and an otter playing by the campsite who seemed just as curious about the strangers on his turf, as they were about him. Except for their clothing and personal items, all other supplies
for the campers were provided in a package purchased through an area outfitter - canoes, tents, sleeping bags and food. When the fresh food supply ran dry, Scouts depended on dehydrated meals and fish they caught. Walker said they had one really good day of fishing on Kawishiwi Lake. A highlight of the trip was seeing petroglyphs on cliffs along the shoreline. The carvings date back hundreds of years. Other than one afternoon when the canoeing was brought to a halt with an hour and a half downpour, Walker said they had a really good week. The trip was financed by pizza fundraisers, popcorn and wreath sales, and with help from the Lions Club pancake feed.
BOONE COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORT Tuesday, July 30 11:37 a.m.: The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office called and advised of a accident with no injuries at 330th and Highway 169.

Farmers can contact their local Soil and Water Conservation District office to apply. “By allowing farmers to try new practices on a limited number of acres at a reduced cost we want to showcase the benefits of these practices and encourage farmers to incorporate them into their operation,” Northey said. The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship received $3 million in one-time funding to support statewide science-based water quality practices. The Department has set aside up to $1.8 million that will be available to support these practices this fall. The funds can be used over the next five years and it is anticipated additional rounds of funding will be available that will include assistance for additional nutrient reduction practices, including buffers, bioreactors, wetlands, and others listed in the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy.

Mobile boutique, continued from page one. leap, quitting her full-time job as an office manager at a real estate business and purchased a 31’ travel trailer. Hamilton redesigned the trailer to look like a boutique. She transferred merchandise into her new store on wheels and can now stop and set up shop just about anywhere. She, like most retailers, goes to market looking for unique items she hopes will be attractive to customers. “I also thoroughly research each of my vendors to help save money and keep my expenses low,” said Hamilton. Her collection includes assorted jewelry, purses, scarves, belts, hats, women’s tops and an eye makeup line call Eye Kandy. “I have a variety of unique items – a whole wardrobe of accessories.” Hamilton knows her new business cannot succeed without help from her family. Her husband assists with the finances and makes
sure her trailer gets to the locations. “My dad is the go-to person who comes and rescues me when my husband is busy.” Her two sisters and mother who were crucial in getting Hamilton through her first year of the new business will continue to help at times. Hamilton’s mobile boutique can be found at her two Boone locations, 203 Marion Street and 1327 SE Marshall Street. She is now looking to expand into the surrounding towns. Home parties are another option for her customers. With Diva parties you have the choice of coming to the boutique or have the boutique come to you. Hostesses can earn credit towards merchandise. “I keep coming up with so many ideas I want to try,” said Hamilton, but I just have to take it one step at a time.” See ad on page seven today.
