Mary Darling Editor Anyone who knew Paul Lovell, knew when he wanted something done, he was relentless to achieve his goal. The Museum of Religious Arts, one of his projects, is marking its 10th anniversary this year, first opening in October of 2000. According to President

Kris Haase, Paul, who passed away in 2007, was surprised himself at how it grew. “He was just blown away,” Haase said. “He really didn’t think it would be this big. He would try to envision it, but couldn’t. He would tear up talking about it.” The idea for the museum came to Lovell when he and his wife Helen attended a church service in a modern Catholic

Church in Minnesota. They realized how much church history was being lost from the old churches. Thus began Lovell’s quest to save, preserve and display religious arts, tradition and culture. He began his collection and then needed a building to house it. Ground was broken for the museum in October of SEE MUSEUM Page 2

The good news, superintendent Jim Hammrich reported at the Nov. 10 board meeting, is the total number of students being served by LoganMagnolia is up by nine this year to 718. This increase was reported even though resident student enrollment fell 16 students. The increase comes from a total of 99 open enrolled students from other districts. This includes: Missouri Valley, 38; TriCenter, 5; West Harrison, 17; Woodbine, 35; Boyer Valley, 1; Council Bluffs, 1; and Harlan, 2. There are 24 students open enrolled out of the district: 19 to Missouri Valley; 3 to Tri-Center, one to West Harrison and one to Woodbine. The total of open-enrolled in students increased by 10 this year, up from 89 last year. With approximately $6,000 in state funding following each of the students, that brings in an estimated $594,000 to

Logan-Magnolia from other school districts. “Overall the numbers are up,” Hammrich said. “Logan-Magnolia is still holding its own.” The total enrollment in grades pre-kindergarten through sixth grade is 391 with a total of 327 in the junior-senior high. Junior-senior principal Christi Gochenour discussed the student scheduling process, ensuring each student gets the classes needed and some changes in the health class sections. Both Gochenour and elementary principal Jim Makey discussed what instructors are working on during professional development activities. In the elementary, instructors are concentrating on cognitive guided instruction with a math emphasis for teaching strategies for math problem solving and, in the high school, they are concentrating on curriculum alignment according to Iowa Core requirements.

Fliehe announces plans to retire effective March 31 Mary Darling Editor Logan City Administrator, Nedra Fliehe, officially submitted her letter of resignation to the council at the Nov. 8 meeting. Fliehe, who will have worked for the City of Logan for 30 years in March, has served as city clerk since Aug. 1, 1997 and will retire March 31. The Logan City Council approved an application to the Iowa Housing Fund Program for assistance for the housing rehabilitation program. The city is asking for $383,000 in a Community Development Block Grant for the rehabilitation of 10 housing units in the city. The city would contribute $15,000 for a total of $398,000 available. The project will benefit moderate-income residents living in the northeast portion of the city. City Attorney Joe Lauterbach reported the case filed against former Logan Police Officer Edward Craig had been settled. Craig was employed by the city from Jan. 1, 2007 to June 27, 2008 when he resigned. The city paid $11,370 to send Craig to the Iowa Law

Enforcement Academy in September 2007. He graduated in Dec. 2007 and six months later he resigned. The agreement the city had at the time regarding paying for officer training stated that after graduation, if an officer left city employment before working for the city for four years, the employee would be required to reimburse the city for its cost for training. For each year of service to the city after graduation, the amount would be reduced. Craig agreed to make payments of $200 a month and paid a total of $3,200 and stopped, Fliehe said. A suit was filed against Craig by the city in February 2010. At that time he owed $8,992.27. Lauterbach said in the settlement reached, Craig will pay the city a total of $3,500 within 45 days. Fliehe reported she had contacted the Department of Natural Resources regarding the odor coming from the quarry on the north side of U.S. Highway 30. She received a letter from Dan Stipe, Environmental Program Supervisor, reporting that in July the DNR had investigated four complaints SEE CITY COUNCIL Page 2 Nov. 19: 11:00, 120 Acres of Farmland.

MUSEUM: Celebrating 10 years

CITY COUNCIL: Fliehe to resign

FROM PAGE 1

1997. Located off U.S. Highway 30 between Logan and Missouri Valley, the 20,000 square foot structure sits on 11.5 acres with a view of the Loess Hills countryside. The museum houses the Midwest’s largest collection of religious artifacts including a replica of an early Southwest style mission chapel, a library, theatre, gift shop and the highlight, the “King of Kings” exhibit. The series of life-size wax figures depicts the life of Christ in nine detailed displays. Haase, also an artist, restored the figures to their present state. She has been at the museum since it’s inception. “It’s way more than I ever envisioned,” she said. “There are more people coming to see it and donating. Paul’s expectations are fulfilled and more.” Rhonda McHugh, assistant director, has been at the museum for nine years. “It’s grown so much even since I’ve been here. The attitude toward the museum has also changed and it’s awesome.” Both Haase and McHugh said they wish they had a quarter for the number of times people have said to them, “Why didn’t I stop in sooner?” The original cost of the museum, estimated at $600,000 to $700,000, was paid for through donations, grants and loans. Since it opened its doors, the museum has added many new exhibits and events including: •An exhibit by child artist, Akiane Kramarik. She was only 11 years old on her first visit in 2005. By then she had already created masterpieces in both poetry and realist paintings and had been a guest on many television shows including the Oprah Winfrey show. •Project Moses: Ten Commandments. The display, located outside in the Biblical garden, stands over five-feet tall and weighs approximately 800

Jesus walking on the water exhibit at the museum is still a work in progress. Photo: Mary Darling pounds. It showcases the Ten Commandments on a tablet engraved on sandcolored marble straight from Mount Sinai. •Crosses on the Hill. This is the museum’s largest outdoor display. The center cross is 33-feet high representing each year Christ walked on the earth. It also lights up at night. A handicapped accessible sidewalk to the crosses was completed in 2008. •Holocaust Display. This includes several charcoal drawings by George Zielezinski, a prisoner during the Holocaust. •Stained glass windows. The stained glass windows at the entrance are more than 100 years old and from Italy. They were obtained from Boys Town. Panes are sponsored by area donors. •Jesus Walking on the Water. This outdoor display is open weather permitting in the spring, summer and fall. There is a man-made pond with a real sailboat and figure silhouettes. It’s still a “work in progress,” Haase said. A popular event added in the past several years is the “Reason for the Season” celebration that began Nov. 7 and will run through Jan. 30 this year. It features 60, uniquely decorated Christmas trees, more than 400 nativity scenes from all over the world and more than 75 Santa Claus and St. Nicholas figurines on dis-

play throughout the museum. This year a memorial tree has also been added in which you can purchase a bulb in memory of a loved one to hang on the tree. Other plans for the coming year, according to Haase, is an “extraordinary art exhibit in April. There is nothing like it around this area. It will be here for only two weeks.” They also plan on having a cookie jar exhibit around Mother’s Day weekend with cookies, of course, and cookie cookbooks. “We are hoping to get more sculptures from local artists,” Haase said. “We have contacted lots of artists that would like to exhibit here and will facilitate any good art work that is approved.” Since the museum opened its doors 10 years ago it has seen visitors from all 50 states and more than 25 counties pass through including Australia, Ethiopia and Kenya with many making a return trip they said. Last March LeeAnn Clark was hired as the new director and has been “wonderful,” Haase said. The museum, according to Haase, has become her second passion. “I feel at home here and feel connected with the art. I don’t know if words can describe it. It’s now part of my skin and always will be,” Haase said.

regarding the dumping of an unknown substance near the quarry. At that time, the DNR issued Soil Solutions, LLC a notice of violation for a prohibited discharge of wastewater from the stockpiled materials into state water at the site. Soil Solutions complied and ceased the discharge. Stipe said he and Matt McDonald of the DNR’s Land Quality Bureau, met with Kevin Heck and Bob Hecht of Soil Solutions on Oct. 26 at the site. Soil Solutions is storing Pro-CAL 40 at the site, a processed calcium sulfate

dihydrite product also called gypsum. There have been several complaints to the City of Logan regarding a offensive odor coming from the site. Stipe said in his letter the DNR would prefer they find a different site for storage of the PRO CAL 40, but the DNR was allowing them to use the site as long as they prevented any wastewater discharge into state waters. “In summary,” Stipe stated, “Environmental issues aside, it appears the current site, due to its proximity to residences, city recreational areas, etc. may likely continue to generate complaints.”

The tree decorating contest is also being held this year with prizes to be awarded to first and second place at 7 p.m. A special treat in the park this year on Friday will be a visit from Dancer and Cupid, reindeer owned by Terry and

Audrey Evans of Logan. They will be available for photos from 5 to 7 p.m. near the shelter house. Photos are $10 for a 5x7inch with all proceeds going to the Harrison County Humane Society. Pictures can be picked up that evening. The Boy Scouts will be serving their soup supper in the Masonic Hall across from the park from 5 to 7 p.m. and Santa will be stopping in

This home at 211 S. Third Ave. in Logan, owned by Steve and Vicki Earlywine, was a total loss in a fire reported at 6:30 p.m., Nov. 14. The occupant, Brent Leonard, son of Vicki Earlywine, was at home at the time of the fire, but was able to get out and was not injured. Besides the Logan Fire Department, Magnolia, Missouri Valley and Mondamin departments all responded to the fire that took four hours to extinguish. When the fire reached the attic, the second floor ceiling had to be torn out said Bill Buffum of the Logan Fire Department. Logan, Missouri Valley and Magnolia departments were called back again about 1 a.m. for two hours when the fire re-started. According to Buffum, the fire started on the main floor. The cause is undetermined at this time. Photo: Mary Darling

Logan Herald-Observer November 17, 2010

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.

Paying the price for our freedom Veterans Day typically sends me into a tailspin onto my soapbox when writing this column. It’s my opportunity to be vocal about taking the time out of our busy lives to give gratitude to those who protect our freedom by serving in the military. Over the past few months, while researching and writing for the upcoming Veteran’s Day and talking with area veterans, I’ve been overwhelmed with emotion that has ranged from anger to compassion. Sure, I’m getting on my soapbox again but this time it’s not about my passion for patriotism but our lack of support for those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for ours. I can’t say I know first-hand what the attitudes and atmosphere were like when our military returned home after serving in the Vietnam War. It sounds as though, as a nation, we should be ashamed of ourselves. Not only did our veterans get a thumbs down for being there but also their emotional and physical well-being was pushed under the rug. Thank goodness they are now able to receive the help they need to overcome the battles they are fighting within themselves. The war against terrorism began on a high note as we were all about retaliation for the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Nine years later and the pulse of the people is that they have had enough. The news is full of more information on those against the war than those who are serving in it. Our military is not only being deployed once, but multiple times and are coming home to find their house is in foreclosure and jobs are hard to come by. I met with a group of combat veterans, whose story I felt privileged to tell. These men and women volunteer their time toward a cause that not many of us understand or have to try and live with. Their focus is to help veterans, whether they served 40 years ago or yesterday, receive the benefits and services they need and deserve. As I listened to each one of them recount the days of returning to their homeland, I felt disappointment and shame that not all of us live by our motto of “united we stand.” Those of us that haven’t served in the military will never, ever be able to understand what it takes to sacrifice the life we are accustomed to and serve our nation, no questions asked, no matter the consequences. I understand the government has a budget to adhere to, just like any other organization, but wouldn’t taking care of the people who die for our freedom move up to the top of the list? Shouldn’t we make darn sure their mortgage payments are being made while they are serving our country? Don’t they deserve to come home to a grateful nation? According to the focus committee, the VA Hospital has and is making great strides to ensure all veterans get the help and services they need, but it’s everyone’s responsibility to make every day, Veterans Day.

Prelude to a ditch The Missouri River Valley was worthless for farming. Everyone from the first surveyors to Charles Larpenteur’s family who waded through Monona and northern Harrison Counties in four-feet deep water knew it. No one could plant row crops on land next to such an unpredictable river. Economics dictated that the valley was best suited to raising hay and grazing livestock. A wave of settlers moved into the region before and after the Civil War, but mostly passed the Missouri River Valley and either settled on higher ground or moved on into Nebraska or South Dakota. In time, most of the good land was taken, but more people moved in. Competition forced property values to rise, but since no one could create more land, a few visionaries cast covetous eyes on the soggy “bottoms.” Mitchell Vincent, an Onawa engineer was one of the first. He surveyed the Missouri River to determine the feasibility of a drainage ditch. Vincent was sure the ditch would open more land to row crops and help farmers who were already raising wheat and corn enjoy better yields. In 1883, he proposed a ditch from the west fork of the Little Sioux to the Missouri River

north of River Sioux. Contrary to popular opinion, he wrote in a letter to the Monona County Gazette the swamps were fertile and good drainage would convert them to productive farms. The Gazette agreed with Vincent and supported funding for the project. However, many people worried how the county could pay for such a project. Opposition became noisy and many farmers didn’t want a large ditch splitting their holdings. The inconvenience of crossing a ditch with few bridges seemed worse than the interminable floods and marshes. Several land owners sued to stop the project, and construction ended before it started. Little changed, though massive floods around 1886 gave some people second thoughts. A bit farther west in Nebraska, farmers also considered digging ditches for irrigation and for power plants. But as in Iowa, most of the plans were just talk. Good rains produced bountiful crops, and settlers poured in. Convention held that plowing the land and planting trees was making the air humid and less susceptible to drought. As in western Iowa, the status quo was good enough for most. 1890-1891 presaged a

dust bowl type of drought and depression. Crops failed, and digging irrigation ditches didn’t seem to be such a fantastic concept Monona County residents still opposed spending country money on a ditch, but as the drought dried even the swamps, some farmers considered the value of better drainage through ditch diggings. The dryer valise made such projects easier than during the earlier wet years and groups of farmers decided the time had come to take matters into their own hands. They didn’t wait for the courts to rule. Farmers could dig their own drainage ditches. Mormons helped Nebraska farmers plan and construct their irrigation ditches and they may have helped Iowans with construction plans too. In any event, an era of ditch diggings was at hand. One of the longest, the AdamsReynolds Ditch was made

with horse drawn sledges after 1902 when the economy improved. Such privately constructed ditches demonstrated the advantage of good drainage. Public opinion in Monona County gradually became more positive and by 1903, the Harrison-Monona County Drainage Ditch was closer to reality. Harrison County residents viewed the developments with apprehension. Hal Kerr, editor of the Little Sioux Hustler, wrote that only a minority of landowners supported the ditch and he painted a dark picture of political and financial shenanigans. “Why make a river bed through four sections of fertile farms, taxing the costs up to parties in a two or three mile radius, cutting farms up into ten acre lots and not materially benefiting the locality?” Many of his readers replied with a resounding “No Way!” The battle was on.

Letter to the Editor Calls for accountability To the citizens of Harrison County, Upon reflecting on my campaign, I am satisfied knowing that as a candidate for Harrison County Supervisor, I worked very hard and ran a clean campaign. I enjoyed meeting, in my door-to-door travels, our Harrison County citizens. But now I wonder if their concerns will be resolved. This letter is addressed, specifically, to Harrison County voters, primarily Republican voters. You did it. You have spoken. Now what? You have returned an incumbent and given him a co-worker with no platform of consequence. Are you going to hold these two accountable? Are you going to assume full responsibility for attitudes and activity in the Supervisor’s office? If not, you may be condoning: “Robo” signing of documents. Poor maintenance of sec-

ondary roads, the increasing number of bridges that will not accommodate farm equipment or emergency vehicles and the continued closing of county roads. Continued purchases of expensive road equipment couples with a budget that isn’t getting the job done – a secondary roads budget much larger than that of neighboring counties. Lack of or lackadaisical support of historic preservation. Little concern for the county economy and helping our ten communities shed themselves of the “bedroom community” syndrome. Rudeness and intimidation of the taxpayer who dares to approach with legitimate concerns. Winning the county election shouldn’t stop there. Now Republicans voters, you are accountable. Let our county supervisors know you are expecting better services from the governing body of Harrison County. Sincerely, Norma Coret

Farmer’s Market Success Dear Editor, On Thursday afternoons from June 17 through October 21, the Harrison County Historical Village and Welcome Center was fortunate to host the first season of the Welcome Center Farmer’s Market. So many vendors made the commitment to sell at the market and full-time vendors were also instrumental in helping us develop the market with their expertise and input. Fulltime vendors for the 2010 season were Marcus Weigelt of Loess Hills Gardens; Becky Hodge, Hodge Greenhouse; Donna King, Highpoint Gardens, Ellen Dahl; Mary Hamer, Loess Hills Lavender Farm and Janna Feldman and Sharon Oamek of Honey Creek Creamery, Inc. So many people also helped with special events during the market including Cami Schafer and Dee Colwell of Harrison County 4-H; Peggy Albers and

Nancy King of Harrison County Master Gardeners; Joel Dirks and Barb Fuller of Iowa State University Extension. We want to especially recognize Bahia Barry of Golden Hills RC&D and the Southwest Iowa Food and Farm Initiative; Rich Pope of Harrison County Extension and Renea Anderson of Harrison County Development Corporation for serving on our advisory committee and sharing their expertise in developing and promoting the farmer’s market. The citizens of Harrison County also need to be recognized for the support of the vendors and the farmers market week in and week out. Without your patronage, the market would not have been a success. We are extremely grateful for your support and hope you will join us next year for the second season of the Welcome Center Farmer’s Market.

Panthers end stellar season with loss to St. Albert Falcons Nancy Voggesser For the Herald-Observer

The Logan-Magnolia Panthers got behind early in their final playoff game Nov. 8 on the home field and never found a way to get back control of the game. The Panthers started the game on offense and after a short gain by Evan Mikels, the Panthers fumbled the ball on their own 19-yard line and the St. Albert Falcons were set up for their first score of the game. A good defensive stand by the Panthers held the Falcons to just three positive yards, but they were in position to capitalize on a field goal attempt. Just two and a half minutes into the game, Gabe Meis kicked a 32-yard field goal to put the Falcons on top 3-0. On the following kickoff, Mikels fielded the ball and brought it up to the 21-yard line. Two first downs later, quarterback Nate Fender was sacked and followed

that up with an incomplete pass that resulted in the Panthers’ first punt of the night. The Falcons took over at their own 21-yard line. Reece Hansen carried the ball on a 64-yard gain to set up the first touchdown of the night with 4:23 left in the first quarter. Jake Gentile made a three-yard touchdown run followed by a Meis extra point to increase their lead to 10-0. The Panthers and Falcons traded possessions throughout the rest of the first quarter and deep into the second quarter before anymore scoring drives took place. With 3:43 left in the first half, Hansen broke free on a 14-yard scoring run followed by a Meis extra point to send both teams to halftime with a score of 17-0. The Panthers came out strong to begin the third quarter. After Dillon Miller made a key sack to back the Falcons up to a fourth and 16, the Falcons were forced to punt the ball.

The Panthers found themselves in the same situation, however, and the Falcons took over on their own 49-yard line to set up the next, and final, scoring drive of the night, despite some good hits by the LoMa defense. With 2:11 left in the third quarter, Meis kicked a 42-yard field goal straight through the uprights to end the scoring of the night 20-0, St. Albert. Despite the disappointing ending Nov. 8, this Panther team was a special one to follow and report on all season long. An incredible group of seniors led this team on a winning streak that hasn’t been duplicated in recent memory. Marrick Loftus, Nolan Oviatt, Evan Sears, Troy Sodders, Zach Hatcher, Levi Ettleman, Evan Mikels, Dillon Miller, Travis Jones, Nate Morton, Ben Kill, Dane Charbonneau and Jacob Winther will be remembered for years as being seniors on one of the elite teams in Logan-Magnolia history.

National FCCLA meeting MV man killed in accident Nov.11

Logan-Magnolia FCCLA members who attended the National Leadership Conference included, in front from the left, Kelsey Frisk, Andrea Willard, Jocelyn Camenzind, Kaitlyn Lorentzen; middle row, Cheyenne Jensen, Abby Foutch, Amelia Klein, Brandon Buffum; back row, Curtis Leonard, Brooke Mahoney and Kaitlyn Swanger. Submitted photo Family, Career and Community Leaders of America gathered Nov. 5-7 in Albuquerque, N.M. for the 2010 National Cluster Meeting. Attendees participated in a weekend of unique opportunities that challenged, informed and motivated members and their chapter advisers to explore opportunities available through FCCLA: The Ultimate Leadership Experience. They examined new ways to help them succeed in their families, careers and communities. The weekend meeting was intended to increase youth awareness about such areas as career exploration, family relationships, selfesteem, youth violence prevention and current issues affecting teens. The first keynote speaker was former Major League pitcher, Byron Embry, who gave an inspiring, heartfelt message about how you can succeed in life even when you grow up in a poor, single parent home. On Nov. 6, peers who developed programs that raised awareness and funding for diabetes and cancer research spoke about how a person’s passion can lead to positive changes in the lives of individuals. The final speaker used his dancing talents to discuss relationship skills, dating, how males and females view relationships and how communication is what makes relationships work. FCCLA partners, chapters, advisors and members from across the country also presented

workshops at the meeting on topics including financial fitness, leadership training and FCCLA’s Japanese Exchange program. In addition to learning about what FCCLA has to offer, students were introduced to New Mexican Culture. Students hiked through Bandelier National Monument located in Los Alamos, N.M. Hundreds of ruins of Anasazi cliff houses and pueblo-style dwellings lay scattered across the Pajarito Plateau of northern New Mexico. Students climbed ladders entering cave dwellings where the Anazi lived and saw many petro glyphs that the Indians carved along the sides of the mountains. Then it was off to the famous Route 66 diner for a mix of Mexican and American food. Nov. 5, students rode the Sandia Tramway, ascending 4,000 feet up the side of the Sandia Mountains during the 15-minute ride. This is the longest passenger aerial tramway in the world. Then it was off to Old Town for shopping, more sightseeing and food. Logan-Magnolia students are often told stories about Mrs. Healey’s family who lives in Placitas, N.M., a small village located about 30 minutes from Albuquerque. Her in-laws, Robert and Pearl Healey have lied in the village for more than 25-years. They have renovated a home in the middle of the village. All renovations were done with authentic, hand-

carved doors, Mexican tile, hand-painted ceilings, Vega ceilings and adobe walls. The half-acre grounds are a marvel of flowers gardens, patios and portals. The Healey’s hosted 18 students from Logan-Magnolia and Riverside High Schools, along with Susan Bentley, Riverside FCCLA advisor, Tom, the charter bus driver and Ms. Healey. “Having the opportunity to view the inside of an adobe home was a great experience,” Healey said. “The students were in awe of the décor and architecture. It was fun to listen to them talk about the differences between Midwestern and Southwestern homes.” During the final break from the conference, students toured the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. They viewed exhibits from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and beyond. Many of the dinosaur displays have actual bones in them that have been found throughout New Mexico. The trip culminated with a dance before leaving New Mexico at 11:30 p.m. for the bus ride back to Iowa. From meeting people from across the United States, eating wonderful food and experiencing a different culture, members now have an extended view of the many opportunities they have available to them and how each person can make a positive difference in their lives and the lives of those around them, Healey said.

One man was killed and another injured in a two-vehicle accident Nov. 11 on U.S. Highway 30, four miles east of Missouri Valley. Kevin Bostwick, 37, of Missouri Valley, was fatally injured in the crash that occurred about 8:47 a.m.According to the Iowa Highway Patrol,Bostwick was eastbound on U.S. Highway 30,in a 2007 Ford pickup,when he drove off the right shoulder.He overcorrected and steered back onto the roadway crossing the centerline into the path of a westbound semi driven by Rex Kuhlman, 69, of Dow City. Kuhlman attempted to avoid Bostwick’s vehicle by steering onto the right shoulder.The two vehicles collided in the westbound lane.Bostwick’s vehicle came to rest in the eastbound lane facing westbound and the semi came to rest in the south ditch with the trailer still on the roadway. Bostwick was not wearing a seatbelt. The accident closed U.S. Highway 30 for approximately five hours. Photo: Mary Darling

Item 6 on the agenda was a resolution to authorize and direct the mayor to make an application to the Iowa Housing Fund Program for assistance to a housing rehabilitation program. 3 ayes. The next item on the agenda was to approve settlement of the case between the City of Logan and Edward Craig that is in litigation. The city had received $3,200 before he stopped making payments and both parties agreed to settle so as not to add additional attorney fees and court costs. Motion was made by Hartwig and seconded by Johnson to accept $3,500 in cash or certified funds within 45 days of November 8, 2010 from Edward

Craig to settle this case. 3 ayes. Item 8 was to review and approve the FY 2009-2010 State Financial Report. The clerk explained to the council that this report broke down the information that was on the audit and shows where the income came from and which functions the expenses were paid out of. This information agrees with the audit. Motion was made by Johnson and seconded by Crum to approve the FY 2009-2010 State Financial Report. 3 ayes. Chamber update: The article about the fireworks came out in the paper and people are concerned about the fireworks. Council member Johnson asked if the city ever gave anything for the fireworks and the clerk said no. The cost of the fireworks really took an increase about 9-11 and until then, it was only $3,500. The only thing the city does each year is budget the amount of the fireworks into our parks department and then the Chamber issues us a check for the same amount. The city’s insurance takes care of the liability if anything would happen and that is why the city writes the check. The clerk told the council that if the city wanted to give something towards the fireworks, it needs to be in the budget. The council will make a decision at that time.
