Students given in-school suspensions will now be serving time on Saturdays Mary Darling Editor Lo-Ma high school students’ whose behavior is deemed severe enough to warrant an in-school suspension, will now be serving their time on Saturday mornings, instead of in the library during the school day.

Junior-senior principal, Christi Gochenour, proposed the plan to the

school board at the Sept. 8 meeting. Superintendent Jim Hammrich and Gochenour had discussed the present plan, its lack of effectiveness and it not being a strong enough deterrent for the students.

According Gochenour’s proposal, Saturday inschool suspension will be assigned by an administrator and held from 8 to 11 a.m. at the school. A staff member will supervise the students who will be

“I think it will bring a heightened level of awareness to the students to deter misbehavior.”

Christi Gochenour expected to work on school assignments during this time. No cell phones, iPod/iTouch use and no snacks will be allowed.

“Teachers have volunteered to come in and

supervise,” Gochenour said. “I am requesting they get a $40 stipend for their services.”

According to Gochenour, she feels the new procedure will bring a

heightened level of awareness to the students to deter misbehavior.

Gochenour reported on several activities at school including students taking on-line classes and a seventh grader taking high school English.

“We’ve never done this before,” Gochenour said.

Child passenger safety New Lo-Ma week set for Sept. 19-23 staff dive into school year

Nikki Davis For the Herald-Observer Harrison County Home and Public Health officials want the facts made clear for Child Passenger Safety Week, Sept. 19-25.

Six out of 10 children killed in crashes are not wearing seat belts or are not secured in safety seats.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 4-14.

Unrestrained children are 3 times more likely to be injured in a crash. Seven in 10 people will be in a traffic crash in the next five years.

Every eight minutes a crash occurs in Iowa. Three out of four traffic crashes occur within 25 miles from home.

Safety seats reduce fatal injury by 71 percent for infants and by 54 percent for toddlers 1-6 years old.

Ninety percent of child safety seats are installed incorrectly.

These are just a few of the statistics Harrison County Home and Public Health certified safety seat inspectors Sherri Webb, Jodi Roden and Tabitha Melby face. But they’re determined to help Harrison County residents avoid becoming just a statistic.

Kevin Osborn

Mary Darling Editor

According to statistics, unrestrained children are three times more likely to be injured in a car crash. CPS tech Rhonda Anderson of Harlan works on a seat with a Kiwanis volunteer at a recent Harrison County child safety seat check. Submitted photo.

“We check seats by appointment,” Melby said.

“To get a seat checked, the parent/guardian has to bring their vehicle, the child and their current car seat.”

The inspectors prefer to have the vehicle and car seat manuals if available, and will need to know the height/length and weight of the child, which can be done on the premises if the information is not available.

Then the check may begin.

“We start by checking

the car seat, with and without the child in it, inside the vehicle to see if it is in the vehicle correctly and see if the child fits correctly in the seat,” Melby said. “Then we take out the seat and inspect it – checking dates, recall lists, condition of the seat and more.”

After the check is complete, parents or guardians are advised on what, if any, changes can and should be made, and are asked to reinstall the seat appropriately – with help from the certified

inspectors if needed. As an extra step, parents/guardians are given information about the next step they’ll need to make to keep the child safe, such as pertaining to airbags, how to handle unused seatbelts and more.

And consistency seems key, according to local HCHPH officials.

New business instructor, Kevin Osborn, said it was the influence of a couple coaches and teachers that sent him in the direction of teaching and coaching for his career.

Osborn, a 2006 Harlan High School graduate, went on to play basketball at Buena Vista University, from where he graduated in 2010.

“I didn’t want to miss out on the chance to impact students and wanted to follow in my dad’s footsteps as a coach,” Osborn said.

Third annual North American Aronia Berry Festival Sept. 18-19 The third annual North American Aronia Berry Festival is set for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sept. 18 and 19 at Sawmill Hollow Family Farm near Missouri Valley.

The farm, nestled in the Loess Hills, has been designated as the Aronia Berry Capital of the United States, and has reintroduced the nutritious aronia berry to the United States.

According to many USDA studies, the aronia berry is the berry with the highest antioxidant level, even more than blueberries.

From the Front

CHILD SEATS: Safety week FROM PAGE 1 attention to safety as does a trip out of town. Use consistency when it comes to car seats so your children know what to expect for every ride,” Melby said.

Knowledge may be a part of keeping things consistent. Many are unaware of the suggestions, as well as the rules and regulations of child passenger safety seats such as it is best to keep infants in rear-facing child safety seats as long as possible. According to law, at a minimum, infants need to be in rear-facing car seats until a minimum of age 1 and at least 20 pounds.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and many other organizations have now decided children are safer if they ride rear-facing for as long as the seat allows.

After children outgrow a rear-facing seat, they should ride in a forwardfacing child safety seat in the back seat until they reach the upper weight and/or height limit of the seat. Generally this is around age 4 and 40 pounds.

Booster seats would be the next step and should be utilized until the vehicle’s seat belts fit properly. Seat belts fit properly with the lap belt can lie across the upper thighs and the shoulder belt fits across the chest. Generally this is around age 8 or when the child reaches 4 feet, 9 inches tall.

As an overall rule, though, HCHPH officials suggest all children

younger than 13 ride in the rear seat of the vehicle for their own safety. Webb believes parents need to know more about the dangers of children riding “shotgun” or in the front, passenger seat. Airbags are a new hazard for children, with eight children perishing in 1996 at the fate of an airbag.

Airbags can be dangerous and even fatal to children under 12 by the blast of energy once the airbag is deployed in an accident.

Improperly fitted safety belts or incorrectly restrained in a child safety seat, danger lingers that places the child too close to the dashboard during inflation. Not to mention airbags are capable of deploying at 200 miles per hour.

“That is a lot of force hitting someone in the face,” Webb said. “Due to a child’s height - that’s why there have been spinal cord injuries as well as deaths.”

All in all, child passenger safety is one topic HCHPH officials would like parents to monitor often, considering most vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 3-14 years old. Research has shown that up to 90 percent of car seats are not used correctly – but there’s no reason for them to not be, with the local help offered in Harrison County.

Webb has been certified since 2006 and also has completed the training for special needs transportation. Roden and Melby have been certified since

May of 2009. Harrison County residents Karen Androy and Jennifer Muff are also certified instructors. Certification comes after completing a minimum of a four day training class through SafeKids USA and is updated every two years. To remain eligible, technicians have to complete a number of seat checks under the supervision of an instructor, complete six hours of CEU’s and participate in at least one, community event.

And while the instructors are focused on the child passenger safety seats, their concern still remains with all Harrison County residents.

“After all the steps you take to make your children safe during travel, don’t forget to buckle up yourself and secure all the heavy objects in your vehicle,” Roden said.

HCHPH’s next car seat event is being planned for spring of 2011, but car seat check appointments are currently available during the week at their office in Logan. Appoints can be made by calling 644-2220. More information can be found at www.harrisoncountyia.or g/publichealth/carseat.ht ml. A recommended sight by the HCHPH is an informational – and somewhat haunting video, may be found at www.joelsjourney.org/vie wjoelsvideo.html, showing the impact and differences between riding in forward and rear facing car seats.

OSBORN: High School Business FROM PAGE 1 Ma’s business instructor, Osborn will also be assistant boys’ basketball coach and junior class sponsor.

One thing Osborn said he has found out since classes began at Lo-Ma is, “That no matter how much they stress it in college, you can never be over prepared,” he said.

“You can never over emphasize enough the importance of good organizational skills.”

According to Osborn, he is enjoying getting to know the faculty and students more and more each day.

“I wasn’t really nervous about the teaching

aspect,” he said. “But getting the first pre-jitters out of the way was good.”

Osborn said he really wanted to land in this area for a job. He said though teaching business is a little more of a unique field, his peers did find getting jobs this past year pretty tough with all the layoffs that occurred.

“I was either going to take this job or go to graduate school,” Osborn said.

“I really wanted to be here because of the tradition of excellence and the small town atmosphere here.”

He plans to start his masters program in administration within the next year and eventually hopes to be a principal

and/or athletic director.

According to Osborn, his biggest challenge this year will simply be taking a step back, a deep breath and trying to enjoy every minute of it.

“Every teacher is warned about how the first year is the toughest,” he said. “I want to be able to look back on it and say it was a great year and take some positives away from it.”

Osborn said his goal for this year is for his students to take two or three things away from class and be able to apply them down the road past high school.

“I want them to think back and say they learned that in my class,” he said.

ARONIA FESTIVAL: Sept. 18, 19 FROM PAGE 1 pose of organizing such an event is to bring community, economic development and local food to the forefront of agriculture.

“The aronia berry is a new crop emerging amongst corn and soybeans,” Pittz said. “This berry has a lot of potential to help diversify family farms.”

Pittz said they are thrilled that so many people in the area get into the act each year.

“Many of the restaurants serve special aronia berry dishes during the weekend of the festival,” he said.

According to Pittz, the festival isn’t just about the farm or the berry anymore.

“It’s about bringing the community together over two special days.”

Speakers slated for the event include Dr. John

Ikerd, recognized as one of the country’s foremost advocates on sustainability and family farming; Chuck Hassebrook, Executive Director of the Center for Rural Affairs. He specializes in commodity program reform, rural development, extension and rural revitalization; Dave Murphy, founder and director of Food Democracy Now, a national organization dedicated to grassroots community dedicated to building a sustainable food system that protects the natural environment, sustains farmers and nourishes families.

The festival will include all things aronia (food, craft beer, recipes), dozens of artisans featuring handcrafted soaps, walking canes, plants, herbs, weavers, photography, hand blended teas, candles, children’s activities, inter-

national, national and local speakers, 18th Century farm equipment demonstrations, wine tastings and winemaking and group demonstrations.

These will include biodiesel and wind production. There will also be “slow food” cooking workshops and “perennial ag” that helps family farms diversify into aronia berry production and includes information on organic fertilizing for garden and farm.

To reach Sawmill Hollow farm from the Logan area, take State Highway 127 west to Magnolia, turn left onto L23 (Laredo Avenue), then turn right onto Kennedy Avenue. Signs will be posted.

For more information contact Pittz at 712-6482432 or Andrew@sawmillhollow.com.

RODEN: Lo-Ma Business Manager FROM PAGE 1 the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Roden worked at America First (now Burlington Capitol Group) as a controller for the property management division for 10 years. She then decided to take some time and stay at home with her children for three years and then worked this past year at Boustead Real Estate in Woodbine as an appraisal trainee.

“When I decided to go back to work, this opportunity came up, and I had to try for it,” Roden said.

“I thought it would be a good fit.”

Roden began her duties July 1 and has found there is “lots to do.”

“It’s a different world from what I did in Omaha,” Roden said. “I did public accounting which has to comply with Financial Accounting Standards. Here, it’s government accounting

which has to meet Governmental Accounting Standards. It’s totally backwards from what I worked with before.”

So far Roden is enjoying her new position.

“I enjoy interacting with the people and digging in the numbers,” she said. “When it all comes together at the end of the month it’s great.”

Roden said there will be a learning curve but she loves tackling the numbers.

BOARD: Saturday school approved FROM PAGE 1 for taking the class online.

She’s very excited. If she completes the class she will get one credit as a high school elective and will be able to take English 9 next year.”

Gochenour informed the board the lack of instructors available having the required –Master’s Degree plus 12 credits in their content area– may be a problem for the Academy next year. At the present time, American Government will not be available, she said.

Gochenour also discussed the data collection that will be necessary for the grant received from Microsoft. The district

received $128,337 through the grant and was able to purchase lap top computers, video projectors and Bright Links which are interactive projectors. The district will need to document the equipment is being used in the classroom and how it is being used for instruction.

Elementary principal Jim Makey discussed upcoming testing that will be held in the elementary and professional development for teachers.

A minor change was made to the Good Conduct Policy with the first reading waived and second approved at the meeting.

Contracts were approved for Samantha

Johnson as the elementary computer lab supervisor; Lynn Killpack and Layna Sertterh as co-sponsors for the basketball cheerleaders; and Trent Lally as a third coach for boys basketball.

During the reorganization of the board, Dan Cohrs was re-elected president and Kelly Gochenour vice-president.

Meetings will continue to be held at 6:30 p.m., the second Wednesday of each month. Shelley Foutch was appointed as the free/reduced lunch/fee waiver officer, Kelly Gochenour as the board legislative member and Mike Branstetter the county conference board representative.

Down Home

By Sandy Turner Sandy Turner writes a weekly column “Down Home” which is published in several newspapers in the Midwest. She puts a humorous spin on issues that revolve around families and every day life, drawing from her own experiences.

Getting flowers again and again and again My parents said that I had a one-track mind when I was a kid. Apparently, I was stubborn and wouldn’t stop until I got my way. I haven’t changed much.

I’m sure I inherited this trait from dad. His memory may be fading, but that doesn’t stop him from having a onetrack mind.

Writing about life with dad, for me, is therapy. I deal with dad dilemmas the only way I know how – with humor. I’m not making fun of him, and he doesn’t get his feelings hurt because he doesn’t read the paper and, even if he did, the information would be gone shortly afterward.

Nearly every day he tells me how glad he is that he can be in his own home – to work in the yard and visit with his neighbors.

With the late frost in the spring, dad’s lilies came up – only to be frozen a few days later. He worried about it for weeks, grumbling that his only flowers died and he didn’t get a chance to enjoy them. I planted over 50 pansies soon after that, but the lilies continued to be his favorite.

He called Monday morning, excited with the news that the lilies came back to life and he was going to pick me some to take back to the office. And sure enough they had.

We had our regular nutritious lunch that I provide – cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate shake – and I went back to the office with Easter lilies in a nice vase.

On Wednesday he called, irritated that I hadn’t retrieved the flowers he had picked for me on Monday and wanted to know when I was coming.

I learned early on that his one-track mind would always prevail over mine, so I apologized and said I would get them at lunchtime.

With a different vase and a different batch of flowers, I took the lilies back to the office to add to the ones that were about ready to be pitched anyway.

Late in the afternoon on Friday, dad called to say that he was disappointed that I hadn’t come by to get the lilies that he had picked for me on Monday.

I was amazed that these four plants had produced that many lilies in the heat of the summer, but I reassured him that I would be by to get them.

He must have run out of vases because this time the lilies were in a homemade contraption.

Inside of a galvanized bucket was a flowerpot that was full of rocks and inside the flowerpot was a plastic jug holding the flowers and water, duct taped securely in place. In between the flower pot and bucket were sponges, wet with water, and one of those plastic cold compacts.

I will never tire of dad’s antics or contraptions. I love every minute of it. When his mind, that once was a prominent engineer, kicks into gear, I’m reminded of how ingenious he really is.

Trying to get ahead of the game on this flower exchange, I called dad and asked if any lilies were ready to be picked.

“Do you really think lilies grow in this heat,” he said.

“You must have a one-track mind.”

What couldn’t be done - Part 2 Marc Bolan’s trip to France had renewed his faith in himself. To date, he was a failed musician, but he thought if he just kept trying, something would work. All he needed was faith and perseverance. He played one of his songs for a producer and it was good enough for a contract with Decca Records. At last his first song was played on British radio, and he knew he was on his way. Marc made public appearances and interviews to promote his record but people were too polite to tell him what they really thought. One disk jockey recalled, “He played the record which I thought was appalling, and showed me some poetry which struck me as unmitigated rubbish. I never thought he’d make it, but then, I predicted that TV would never catch on either.” His future publicists thought “nice little bloke, Marc. No one really expected him to get too far.” No one except Marc.

Marc’s big break came with an appearance on a television show, “Ready, Steady, Go.” Unfortunately, the band missed the intro, played too fast and in the wrong key. Technological

problems made the signal go dead while Marc sang. It was a disaster. Soon, Marc’s contract with Decca expired and he was on his own again. He called Columbia Records producer Simon Napier-Bell and told him he was the next Elvis. Simon told him to send a demonstration tape and he would listen. Marc had no demonstration tape. He said he was in the neighborhood and could drop by to sing. Ten minutes later, Marc was sitting cross-legged in Simon’s office playing a song.

Simon made a few calls and Marc played his songs again. No one liked his music. One man said he was a mixture of a bad African American blues singer and Harry the Lamb. Marc was devastated. Simon took pity on Marc and got him back on “Ready, Steady, Go.” His performance went much better, but unfortunately, Jimmy Hendrix overshadowed him. Hendrix told him he liked his voice, but he would never make it.

Simon manager groups like the Yardbirds and he advised Marc to form a group. He offered to help.

But what to name the

group? Marc was interested in paleontology and dinosaurs, and he decided to name his group after the meanest dinosaur of all, Tyrannosaurs Rex. They performed in Covent Hall with no time to rehearse.

The band was incompatible and the result was another disaster. A record company repossessed their instruments and once again Marc seemed destined for another career path.

Then he met John Peel, a disc jockey for an offshore pirate rock station.

His position as a renegade let him promote music mainstream stations ignored. Peel liked Marc’s music and promoted it whenever he could.

Fortunately for Marc the station was just outside territorial waters, and by the time Britain shut down

the station, T Rex became successful and was earning a living. Steve Tork, one of his band mates and collaborators fancied the group to be part of a sixties revolution, but Marc only wanted to be a rock star. In spite of his sometimesbizarre outlook, Marc opposed drugs and this also put him at odds with the band. Steve became so drugged out, his performances reminded some of a singing vegetable. Near the end of the tour, Steve removed his belt and beat himself until he drew blood. Much to Marc’s relief, Steve eloped with an American woman and was never seen again. In spite of it all, Marc was not yet ready to give up. He knew the stars would come together. It was only a matter of time.

News from the Extension Service

Fall yard and garden clean up Last week I wrote about the importance of sanitation in storing grain and keeping it in good condition. This week I turn the focus on lawns and gardens. As summer turns over to fall, there are a number of issues to remember to help you in management around the yard. Try to think a bit like the organisms you are dealing with (yes, seek out your inner cherry tree).

Plants we want like bluegrass or cherry trees or tomatoes do have things in common with pests – the weeds and insects and diseases – that we fight.

They all have to live in the environment we provide for them, and they all have to find a way to get through our winters. So try to understand the good guy’s needs and favor those, and also understand the things that favor the bad (past) guys, and try to disrupt those. Here are three examples: *Finish seeding any bare sports in the lawn immediately. Now is the time to start management to reduce and even elimi-

nate annual weeds from flourishing in your lawn.

These include crabgrass, the foxtails, stinkgrass, and even lambsquarters.

These annual plants must start from seed each spring and for that they need open spots. So if you remove the open spots, they cannot get established. A little dose of nitrogen fertilizer now will be available to the plants for their fall, coolseason growth period.

Don’t wait too long, but about one to two pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet should do wonders. Read the fertilizer analysis; the first number is the pounds of nitrogen in 100 pounds of fertilizer material.

For instance a 10-pound bag of fertilizer with a 15-10-5 guaranteed analysis contains 1.5 pounds of nitrogen. If we get the grass stand filled in, in the fall, and stimulate the plants with a little nutrition, it really discourages the weeds. *For garden areas, and particularly squash and other vining cucurbits

Logan City Council First and third Mondays, 7 p.m.

Lo-Ma Board of Education Second Wednesday, 6:30 p.m.

Rich Pope Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator (including zucchini), remove the vines from the garden area immediately after frost (within a couple of days). Squash vine borer larvae will bore through the dead stems and overwinter in the soil, ready to emerge when next year’s garden is just starting. Cut those larvae off at the pass by removing them after the frost but before they burrow into the soil, and you have cut into their live cycle. While you are at it, the other garden crop residues can allow a number of insect and foliar diseases to overwinter as well, so fall cleanup can help considerably in your overall pest management strategy. *Remember that newly planted tree and other

ornamental plants may be tenuously established, and will need to go through the winter. Try to reduce stresses by thorough mid to late fall watering. Even though we have had unusually high volumes of rain this summer, remember your plants may run a bit short, depending on the fall we will have.

Mulching can also help.

REUNITED WITH FAMILY Bus tours planned for Lincoln Hwy. Heritage Byway

The Harrison County Humane Society has helped reunite a lost dog with its family. Chewy, missing since July 4 from her home outside of Logan, had been at the HCHS kennel, and her owners, the Mary Coffin family of Logan had been looking for her since that time. Chris Gochenour, wife of veterinarian, Jack Gochenour, saw a flyer about the dog at the office and LuAnn Helen of the HCHS saw it when she took her dog in for its yearly checkup. It all came together and Chewy was reunited with his family in this photo.

access to credit to implement conservation techniques that will conserve natural resources.

“This will provide farmers, who want to implement conservation measures on their lands, a chance to do so by providing assistance with their up-front costs,” said Witaker. “In return, these producers will help reduce soil erosion, improve water quality and promote sustainable and organic agricultural practices.”

Direct conservation loans can be obtained through local Farm Service Agency offices with loan limits up to $300,000.

Guaranteed conservation loans up to $1,112,000 are available from lenders working with FSA. Conservation Loans can be used to implement conservation practices approved by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, such as the installation of conservation structures; establishment of forest cover; installation of water conservation measures; establishment or improvement of permanent pastures; implementation of manure management; and the adaptation of other emerging or existing conservation practices, techniques or technologies.

For more information on the program, contact a local FSA office or visit the FSA Web site at www.fsa.usda.gov.

The Loess Hills Alliance Protection Committee has grant applications available to any person, agency, group or community who’s project supports the goals to protect and or preserve the natural and cultural resources of western Iowa’s Loess Hills region.

Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis for projects that benefit one of, or all of, the seven Loess Hills counties in western Iowa. The committee anticipates awarding up to $48,000 for projects that support the mission of the protection committee.

Grant awards require a 3-to-1 match, with not much more than 10 percent in-kind contributions.

Grant applications may

be obtained by contacting the Loess Hills Alliance, 318 E. Iowa Ave, Onawa, IA 51040, or call 712-4332400. Grant applications will also be available on the following Web site www.loesshillsalliance.com.

Completed applications are due by Jan. 7, 2011 with awards to be announced in March.

The Loess Hills Alliance Protection Committee is part of the Loess Hills organization that was formed by the Iowa Legislature in 2000 to foster protection, stewardship and economic development in the seven county Loess Hills region. The Iowa Legislature appropriated $177,000 to achieve results in each of the interest areas listed above.

Avoid Dangers of “Over-concentration” When you were in school, you had to concentrate on your studies. When you began your career, you had to concentrate on your work. In fact, in just about every endeavor in life, concentration is essential for success. However, as an investor, you may find that you actually don’t want to concentrate too much.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t concentrate on your investment decisions — you should. But if you concentrate too much money in one investment, or one type of investment, you could run into problems.

Suppose, for example, that your portfolio is almost entirely devoted to growth stocks.

During a good economy, growth stocks generally tend to do well, so if we’re enjoying a period of sustained growth, your portfolio might show some good returns. But if the economy slumps while you own only growth stocks, you could sustain losses that may take a long time from which to recover. On the other hand, if you over-concentrate on fixedincome investments, such as bonds, your principal value might increase when interest rates are falling (as interest rates and bond prices are inversely related), but when interest rates rise, your bond portfolio will likely lose principal value.

To help avoid the problems

of over-concentration, it's important to own a range of investments, which may include stocks, bonds, government securities and certificates of deposit (CDs). While this type of diversification cannot, by itself, guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio.

Of course, how you choose to allocate your assets will depend on a variety of factors, including the following: • Your goals — Your ultimate objectives should help govern your investment strategy. If you are planning to retire early and then start a new business, you may need to invest more aggressively than, say, your neighbor, who wants to work as long as possible and then stay close to home, pursuing inexpensive hobbies.

• Your risk tolerance — Just as we all have different personalities, we have different tolerances for investment risk. If you can assume greater risk in exchange for potentially higher returns, you may be a more aggressive investor. Conversely, if you’re willing to take lower returns as a trade-off for greater protection of your principal, you’re probably a more conservative investor. However, to achieve your goals, you may consider

moving outside your investment “comfort zone” from time to time.

• Your time horizon — Your stage of life will also affect your investment choices. If you are just starting your career, you can probably afford to invest more aggressively than if you are nearing retirement, at which time you may want to cut down on risks.

To build a diversified portfolio that reflects your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, you may want to work with a professional financial advisor — someone who can assess your situation and recommend choices that are

appropriate for your needs.

By concentrating on a unified investment strategy — instead of over-concentrating on a specific type of investment — you can focus on where you want to go and what you need to do to get there.

Former Lo-Ma star Alvis Long time voice of Panthers retires making waves at Iowa

By Kevin White, WHNS There was some conflicted football fans on S a t u rd a y in the L o g a n area.

While that part of western Iowa seems to have more Iowa State followers than Iowa or Nebraska, one of their own already is making waves with the Hawkeyes.

Redshirt freshman Dominic Alvis, a 2009 Logan-Magnolia graduate, is listed as a No. 2 defensive end for No. 9 Iowa, which hosted Iowa State at 2:30 p.m., Sept. 11 at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.

Alvis saw his first career game action the previous Saturday, playing about six snaps at left defensive end in the Hawkeyes’ 37-7 win over Eastern Illinois.

“It felt great, and I can’t wait to taste it again,” said Alvis, a 6-foot-4, 245pounder.

Even Alvis’ high school coach at Lo-Ma, Matt Straight, will have mixed emotions Saturday. Straight was a two-year starter at safety for Iowa State in the mid-90’s.

“I think my head coach at Logan kind of brainwashes a lot of students,” Alvis said, smiling. “He does a great job of that. He’s very positive though with me playing for the Hawks.”

Taking a redshirt season allowed Alvis to grow and learn. The Hawkeyes’ entire defensive front four is back, after all earned at least honorable mention All-Big Ten

honors a year ago.

The group is led by 2009 consensus All-America defensive end Adrian Clayborn, who could have been a first-round NFL draft pick but returned to school.

“They’re probably the best in the country,” Alvis said of his fellow D-linemen. “They’re going to be hard to beat. They’re good role models. There’s so much technique that I’d never even heard of. I’ve been able to grasp that, and got a good start.”

Straight redshirted during his first year in Ames, so he related to some of Alvis’ struggles in getting acclimated to college life.

“That first year is really hard, just adjusting, coming from a small setting like we both did,” Straight said.

“I think it was tough for him. I know it was tough for me my first year. But I think he’s settled and feels comfortable there now.”

Straight said the average fan may not realize how much of an achievement it is to make the two-deeps as a redshirt freshman in a top 10 program.

“We knew as long as he could keep his health under control over there that he’d so well,” he said. “We didn’t think he’d do this well this early. The coach who recruited him, Reese Morgan, had nothing but great things to say about his progress last spring. So we knew he was doing well then.

“And what a great defensive line they have to learn from. To see how it’s supposed to be done at the highest college level imagi-

nable.”

All the hard work paid off Sept. 4 as Alvis made his college debut.

“That thrill of getting on the field for the first time is something he’ll never forget, I’m sure,” Straight said.

A 3.8 student in high school, the former Lo-Ma star hopes to make an even greater impact as his football career moves forward.

Straight said he’s already made an impact in the Logan community, and not just for his on-field exploits.

“If you know Dominic well enough, I think no matter if you’re a Nebraska, Iowa State or Iowa fan, that you’re in his corner and you want to see him do well,” he said. “He’s just such a positive kid and has done so much in the community for volunteer services, and just being active in so many different things, that everybody really thinks very highly of him.

It’s easy to root for those kids.”

Even so, many in the Logan area, including Straight, will never become full-fledged converts to Iowa football. Here’s how Straight resolves it: “I’ll always cheer for Dom. I’ll cheer for his plays. But that’s as far as I can go,” he said.

Alvis completely understands. Besides, what’s Iowa-Iowa State week without a little good-natured ribbing?

“It’s a Hawkeye state, that’s for sure,” Alvis said.

“It’s going to be fun. I have a lot of friends that go to Iowa State. I can’t wait to rub it in, hopefully, if we come out with a win.”

For 28 years, Alvin Dinkel, left, has been the voice of the Lo-Ma Panther football team announcing each home game. His dedication to the team showed throughout the years’ and even a broken ankle didn’t stop him from announcing. He some how made his way up the ladder to the crows nest at the football field to announce the game for the team. At the Sept. 3 game, Dinkel announced he was retiring. Scott Muxfeldt, right, will be taking over the duties. Pictured in the center is Gale Muxfeldt.

Meeker commented on why she runs.

“I don’t run because I have to,” Meeker said. “I run because I want to. No matter if it is rain, sleet or snow, I won’t be running slow.”

The large team of Lo-Ma boys were like a stampede of terror at they stepped onto the course. Ten boys ran for Logan-Magnolia and four medaled in the top 20.

Sophomore Ellis Johnson ran a 18:39 race and received 15th place.

PUBLIC NOTICE PUBLIC NOTICE All political candidates are reminded that Iowa law prohibits the placement of any political signs on public rights-of-way.

Because of their proximity to the roadway, these signs distract drivers, impede roadway maintenance, and in some cases, due to the size of the sign and/or the type of mounting, can represent a contact hazard to drivers.

For these reasons, the Harrison County Roads Department will be removing any signs located on County rights-of-way as soon as they are discovered. The law further allows that the cost of these removals may be billed to the responsible party.

The signs that can be salvaged will be stored for a reasonable period of time at a county facility and can be recovered by the owner after contacting the County Engineer’s Office.

Each candidate’s cooperation in assuring compliance with Iowa Law is appreciated.

Reserve a tree for Museum program The Museum of Religious Arts has started taking reservations for groups, organizations and businesses that wish to participate in the Reason for the Season Christmas program.

It is on a first-come, firstserve basis for those wanting to decorate a tree. As in the past, the museum supplies and sets up the trees.

Due to limited electrical hook-ups and space available for location of the trees, it is recommended you sign up soon so you can be the first to get a tree that can be allowed to have lights.

“People should sign up quickly as our goal is to have all 60 trees sponsored by folks from the local and surrounding communities again this year,” said LeeAnn Clark, museum director.

A few changes will also take place this year. There will be three prize categories – traditional Christmas, best of business and most unique. Voting will be by the most dollars collected in the vote box next to each tree. This donation will be split 50/50 with the museum to help cover costs. Votes can be

made as often and for as many trees as you wish.

Voters will have a better chance at getting their votes in this year since the event is being extended through January.

“We have found it’s the popularity of our visitors coming out after their busy holiday schedules and will give all of us leeway for the possibility of the snow days such as last year,” said Rhonda McHugh, museum assistant director.

Museum admission will apply. Call 644-3888 or www.mrarts.org for more information.

Lo-Ma Panthers dance their way to 60-12

Homecoming win over Audubon Wheelers Nancy Voggesser For the Herald-Observer The Logan-Magnolia Panthers football team continued its season scoring extravaganza with a 60-12 win over the Audubon Wheelers Sept.

10.

Although it looked early on as if the Wheelers would give the Panthers their first tough test of the season, the Panthers rallied in the second quarter to push the game into yet another running clock situation at the second half.

Audubon started the game on offense and, despite a first-play first down, they met the big playmaker, Evan Mikels, who connected on three tackles for loss to force the Wheelers into punting on their first drive.

The Panthers started their first offensive series with 9:04 left in the quarter.

The Panthers relied heavily on their running game through three first downs and then opened up the game through the air with 4:54 left in the first quarter when Nate Fender connected with the sure hands of Levi Ettleman on a 15-yard

passing touchdown.

Ettleman’s kick was no good.

The Wheelers’ second series didn’t fare much better than their first, ending after just two first downs.

They did, however, test the Panthers defensive secondary, but to little success.

Lo-Ma regained possession of the football with 2:22 left in the first quarter.

Working on the swift lefts of Marrick Loftus, the Panthers coasted 66 yards on three plays to end up with a Loftus touchdown with 44 seconds left. This time Ettleman’s kick was good to end the first quarter at 13-0.

The Wheelers opened up through the air on their next series, which ended in their first score of the night.

Quarterback Jay Blomme handed the ball off to Zach Bohlmann who ran four yards into the end zone with 9:57 left in the first half. The kick was handily blocked by Evan Mikels to stall their scoring at 6.

The Panther offense quickly turned around and powered its way toward the end zone. Paul Hutson, Nolan Oviatt, Loftus and Dominic Snyder took on

rushing duties in the drive.

With 8:20 left in the half, Snyder scampered four yards up the middle for a touchdown followed by a good Ettleman kick.

The Lo-Ma defense quickly shut down the next Wheeler drive. Following a first down pass from Fender to Quin Mann, Mikels, Oviatt and Loftus took on the rushing duty to set up a 14-yard passing touchdown with 3:56 left in the half from Fender to Ettleman. Ettleman’s kick went wide right.

On the next Wheeler drive, Blomme attempted a pass that was read expertly

by Mann who sprinted 62yards into the end zone with 3:41 left in the half.

Ettleman’s kick was good to push the score to 33-6.

Bohlmann’s next return was moving well until Loftus connected on a resounding tackle. On the next play, the Wheelers fumbled the ball. Dillon Miller recovered the ball on the 35-yard line to set up another first half score.

With 2:30 left in the half, Fender connected with his favorite target, Ettleman, on a 25-yard pass. Ettleman’s kick was good.

Photo: Angela Winther The Wheeler’s were able to put together their final scoring drive of the game when Jarred Packard ran up the middle for a four-yard touchdown with 19 seconds left. The Wheelers attempted a 2-point conversion that failed, due to a strong Panther stand.

The Panthers’ weren’t going to let that end the scoring for the half as they put together a hurry-up offense to orchestrate three quick plays ending with

Zach Hatcher breaking free on a 40-yard touchdown run at the whistle.

Ettleman’s kick was again good which assured a second half running clock with a score of 47-12.

The Panther varsity played much of the third quarter. With 8:34 left in the third quarter, Fender found an opening and ran eight yards for a touchdown. Ettleman’s kick was again good.

As the play moved

quickly into the fourth quarter, Lo-Ma junior varsity and freshmen players eagerly ended the game.

With 6:32 left in the game, Ettleman attempted a 33yard field goal, which ended up just short of the uprights.

Hutson put the frosting on the homecoming cake with 2:06 left in the game on a 23-yard touchdown run. Ettleman’s kick failed, and the final score was 6012.

Nancy Voggesser For the Herald-Observer The Logan-Magnolia Panthers football team opened up its first home game of the season with a resounding win over the Eagles of Clarinda. The Panthers were able to succeed on the ground and through the air to rack up 63 unanswered points.

Clarinda’s offense could not gain ground in their first offensive series. Led by tackles for loss by Evan Mikels and Levi Ettleman, the Eagles were forced to punt on a three and out.

The Panthers capitalized on their first series with a short 33-yard field. Nolan Oviatt broke loose for a first down, followed by Marrick Loftus who scampered 27-yards into the end zone with 9:28 left in the first quarter. Ettleman’s kick failed to make it through the uprights.

Both teams traded possessions. The Eagles couldn’t seem to move the ball at all, while the Panthers moved at will, but lost the ball due to a fumble. With 1:29 left in the first quarter, Oviatt finished a 57-yard drive by scrambling two

yards into the end zone.

Ettleman’s kick set the first quarter score 13-0 Lo-Ma. The Panthers seemed to have used the first quarter for a warm-up, racking up four scoring drives and a safety. With 10:41 left in the first half, Loftus scored on a 13-yard run to the outside. Ettleman’s kick was good.

With 8:59 left in the first half, Levi Ettleman intercepted an Eagle pass to set up the first passing touchdown of the night when Nate Fender connected with Ettleman on a 26-yard pass play. Ettleman’s kick was again good.

With 7:58 left in the half, the Eagles were tackled in the end zone which resulted in a 2-point safety awarded to the Panthers who followed up on a one and a half minute drive during which Mikels barreled through on a five-yard run up the middle.

Ettleman’s kick was good.

The Panthers’ next possession went well until Fender fumbled the ball on the 12-yard line to give the ball back to Clarinda who then fumbled the ball. Ben Kill recovered the ball on that fumble to set up Lo-Ma’s

final score of the first half with 57 seconds left.

Fender threw a 16-yard bullet to Quin Mann.

Ettleman’s kick sailed through the uprights to send the Panthers to the locker room up 43-0.

The clock ran continuously the second half, which featured Lo-Ma’s junior varsity.

The Panthers showed that they have capable ball carriers in Oviatt, Mikels, Loftus, Zach Hatcher as well as backups in Paul Hutson, Caden McDonald, Evan Sears and Nick Knudsen.

Hutson made the first score of the second half with 11:14 left in the game on an 84-yard sprint into the end zone.

Ettleman’s kick was good.

With 8:53 left in the game, Sears intercepted a Clarinda pass and returned it for 21-yards.

He followed that up with a 2-yard touchdown.

Ettleman’s kick was good.

Finishing out the night’s scoring was Nick Knudson who broke free for a 62-yard touchdown with just 2:19 left in the game. Ettleman’s kick was good, which ended the scoring for night at 63-0 Panthers.

For the Herald-Observer The Logan-Magnolia volleyball team traveled to Woodbine Sept. 2, to match skills against a very improved Tiger volleyball team. In game one, the talent on each side of the net complimented the opposing team. With serving going back and forth, neither team had a distinct advantage. The Lady Panthers started two, small serving runs to gain momentum and held on and squeaked out a victory 25-19. In the second game, the Panthers jumped out to a short-lived lead as the Tigers came back to tie the game. As the teams traded points, Audrina Dickman served a string of points to give Lo-Ma the lead. The Panther defense did a great job moving the ball to the back corners and finally extending the lead in game two and winning 25 - 17.

In the third game both teams again battled back and forth as each side successfully returned volleys.

Every time Kelsey Frisk, Andrea Willard or Karen Hutson attacked and killed the ball, Woodbine’s Justina Royer would return the favor keeping the Tiger’s in the game. A final succession of good serves by the Panthers lifted LoMa over Woodbine with a final score of 25-18, win-

ning the match.

Offensively, Lo-Ma had a good night serving the ball successfully. In the defensive spot light were Kylee Loftus who had numerous blocks and Dickman with several saving digs.

On Sept. 9, the Panthers hosted the Bobcats of Charter Oak-Ute. The Lady Panthers jumped out to an early lead in game one and never looked back. With solid serving and good defense, the Panthers handily Abby Foutch hits the ball back over won game one by the net.

Photo: Gene Esser a score of 25-9.

Game two was a little more of a challenge as attacks, respectively. On Charter Oak-Ute battled the defensive end Hutson the Panthers. Again, with had a solid night with four solid serving by Frisk and blocks and seven digs.

Andrea Willard the Frisk also had nine digs on Panthers went on a run the night and solid defenand won by a score of 25- sive support from Loftus, 14. Game three was a mir- Marquardt and Foutch ror of game two with Abby who provided the bang the Foutch and Dickman Panthers needed to keep showing their serving the Lady Cats in check.

“Our team is working skills as the Panthers went on a 14-2 run and sealed very hard and we are up the match by winning showing marked improvement on both defense and 25-14.

Perfect serving percent- offense,” said head coach ages for the night were Jacob Hedger. “We still Frisk, Willard, Foutch and have a little bit of technical Dickman. Karen Hutson improvement to work on, and Shelby Marquardt pro- but overall I’m very vided a one-two punch on pleased with how we’ve offense with 12 and 9 progressed.”
