Local Byways big draw for tourists

Mary Darling Editor

Mary Darling Editor Fifteen Iowa Welcome Centers recently took part in a survey covering 2010, completed by the Iowa Department of Economic Development, Tourism Office. According to the survey, travelers to Harrison County listing the Byways as one of their top three travel interests has risen from 24.7 percent in 2009 to 47.9 percent in 2010.

“I’m so excited to be able to quote that number this year,” said Welcome Center Coordinator Kathy Dirks. “Especially as we finish construction on our Lincoln Highway/Loess

The Loess Hills Scienic Byway is just one of three that draws tourists to Harrison County and in 2009 resulted in $22.5 million dollars in tourism spent locally.

Harrison County boasts three Byways: Loess Hills Scenic Byway, Western Skies Scenic Byway and Lincoln Highway Byway, bringing travelers to the area.

“I received word this week that the Lincoln Highways Heritage Byway,

which currently has no signage, will be the first Byway in the state to be signed with the new signage,” Dirks said. “The signs will be going up as weather permits. With the addition of the signage and the accompanying promotion, I believe interest and requests for Byway infor-

Nikki Davis Woodbine Twiner Editor Although recycling as a whole is mandated by the State of Iowa dating back to 1987, there are only a few guidelines the state puts into place. The Harrison County Landfill Commission doesn’t only follow these guidelines – but goes above and beyond to offer recycling options to Harrison County residents, including the expansion of their plastics recycling from plastics in the one and two categories to the one through seven categories.

The various categories are marked by a plastic identification code listed on the container in a recycling triangle with a number in the middle.

The class one (PET or polyethylene terephthalate) and class two (PE-HD or

high-density polyethylene).

Class one and two products only included soft drink, water, salad dressing, milk and juice bottles, peanut butter and jam jars and some shampoo and toiletry bottles.

The expansion to collect levels three through seven will now include blister packaging for non-food items, cling films for nonfood use, frozen food bags, squeezable bottles (such as honey or mustard), flexible container lids, reusable microwaveable ware, yogurt containers, margarine tubs, microwavable disposable take-away containers, egg cartons and baby milk bottles.

HCLC Solid Waste Manager Dan Barry is pleased to offer the expansion to Harrison County residents.

Asked if they resigned because of Thomas’ appointment, Vittitoe said, “I guess you have to draw your own conclusion.”

When reached Feb. 10, Hill declined to comment on her resignation. Attempts to reach Beebe were unsuccessful.

According to Councilman Denis Stueve, after the Feb. 2 meeting it was thought that Firefighters Gary Shearer, Rob Rains, Assistant Fire Chief Jon Gilgen and Jennifer Gilgen,

From the Front

REYCLING: Plastics program expanded in Harrison County FROM PAGE 1 three through seven due to an expanding market.

Because of that, we will now be able to take plastics in the one through seven categories. We now have a market for the other numbers, so we’re willing to do it.”

When the weather cooperates, new signs will be placed on the recycling bins throughout the county, stating the changes. It’s these changes that may expand the life existence period of the Harrison County Landfill.

“Plastics are not biodegradable and any plastic in the landfill takes

up space,” Barry pointed out. “Two to three hundred years from now, if you dig up that space where we buried those plastic bottles, that bottle will be there in the same form as we ran over it to compact it.”

But it’s not just time Barry is concerned about.

He’s also concerned about the taxpayer’s money.

“A common misconception is that recycling is a money maker. It may be somewhere, but it’s not at the regional collection center where we take our product,” he said. “It costs $1,300 a month. But we felt this is a good business practice and local partnership.”

Barry also pointed out the importance of practicing correct recycling. The most common issue he and his staff see is regular garbage thrown into the recycling containers.

“Often times the trash items can contaminate the recyclables and they can no longer be recycled,” Barry pointed out. “And all of this material has to be hand sorted. Would you want to be the one to stand there and sort the trash out of the recyclables?”

This is why Barry and his staff ask that resident be responsible recyclers. Tips include simple things that usually only take a few seconds.

MODALE: Clerk controversy FROM PAGE 1 Jon’s wife, had resigned as well.

Stueve said they were on a list submitted by Beebe, but only Shearer intended to resign.

“It was a mix-up,” Stueve said. “Their names were turned in that they were resigning, but they did not want to resign.”

A special meeting of the council was held Feb. 6, Stueve said, at the request of the Fire Department. He said the firefighters wanted to clear up the confusion and discuss moving forward. Shearer retracted his resignation, which the

council allowed.

At the Sunday meeting, the council accepted Beebe’s resignation.

“We’re working with the Fire Department to move forward,” Stueve said.

He said Jon Gilgen would take over as interim fire chief until the department holds an election.

At the Feb. 2 council meeting, members Vittitoe, Stueve, Hill, Randy Williams and Martin Salter held a secretballot vote to choose a city clerk.

According to Stueve, 10 names were on the ballot, including Thomas and then-City

Clerk DeEtte West, Vittitoe’s daughter, who had held the job for a year.

Three members voted for Thomas and one for West, and one member abstained. The council then voted 3-2 to hire Thomas; Vittitoe and Hill were the dissenting votes.

Thomas served as Modale City Clerk for four years before West. Asked why West wasn’t retained, Stueve declined to comment.

Vittitoe said he voted against Thomas. “She had the job before,” he said, “and she just wasn’t the person I thought could do the job.”

CHAMBER: Fourth of July plans FROM PAGE 1 members.

If you would like to make a donation contact Steve Eby, treasurer for the Chamber of Commerce, or mail to the Logan Chamber of Commerce, P.O. Box 113, Logan, IA 51546.

New officers were also elected for the year at the Feb. 8 meeting. They include: Co-chairs, Chris Hartwig and Ragene Darling; treasurer, Steve Eby and secretary, Dion

Pitt. Board members are officers plus Bill DeWitt, Nikki Allen and Jason Myer.

Due to a lack of nominations, the Logan Pride Awards have been altered.

The Chamber will now choose a senior student to receive a $300 scholarship and one community member who will serve as the grand marshal of the Fourth of July parade.

The Chamber has set the following dates for the Fourth of July events: •Fri., July 1: Movie at

the courthouse lawn area; Carnival in park July 1-4 •Sat., July 2: 5K run/walk at 5 p.m.

•Sun., July 3: Fireworks display •Mon., July 4: Annual parade. Rain date for fireworks.

The Chamber is also looking for someone interested in manning the park shelter food stand this year during the Fourth of July celebration. Contact Dion Pitt for more information.

“Rinse out your jugs or bottles,” Barry said. “If you rinse it out, it’s recyclable.

Another good tip is that any plastic bottles or containers, take the lid off.

Whether you put it in with the recycling loose or throw it away is up to you.”

The reasoning is that bottles with lids are capable of causing minor explosions after the bailing process.

“After items that have been bailed, any item with a lid will continue to build up pressure,” Barry explained. “After we run these items through the bailer and put bands on them, a few hours later they may explode because

they have expanded and then we have to run all the items through the bailer once again. Also, the more you can compress or break your containers down leaves more room for more recycling product.”

Regardless of the changes, there are still a few plastic items that are not acceptable for recycling, included, but not limited to, motor oil and antifreeze containers.

“Anything in a black, plastic is not recyclable,” Barry said. “After the breakdown process at the recycling collection sites, if black is found anywhere, due to its dominate color, it will contaminate the other

colors within the batch sold.”

The Harrison County Landfill will answer any questions regarding recyclables during regular business hours including 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays, excluding major holidays.

They are available at 712644-3093.

Crossroads of Western Iowa is also available to answer questions regarding plastics recycling and offers tours of their facility at 1 Crossroads Pl. in Missouri Valley. Anyone with a question or interested in a tour is asked to call Jaimee Barnum at 712-642-4114.

TOURISM: Big business in county FROM PAGE 1 mation will only increase and that travel and spending throughout Harrison County will increase.”

According to Harrison County Development Director, Renea Anderson, “Tourism is big business in Harrison County.”

“Most people probably don’t realize how much the tourism industry impacts the local economy,” she said. “We are fortunate to have a number of attractions that cover a wide variety of things to see and do. The numbers reflect this. People take for granted what’s in our own backyard.”

In the Welcome Center survey in 2010, Harrison County had 5,019 travel parties stop with 200 surveys completed. These visitors said they spent an average of four days in Iowa with 23.7 percent extending their stay in Iowa and spending an average of $251.51 per day.

According to the survey, an estimated $4.3 million was spent by tourists in 2010 in Harrison County.

Retired persons were listed as the top travel party type in Harrison County, followed by fami-

lies with no children under age 18. For all survey centers in the state, 33.3 percent listed retired travelers as the top travel type.

According to the survey, visitors to Harrison County spent an average of $67.45 per day on lodging; $18.24 on entertainment; $54.63 on transportation; $46.16 on food and $29.03 on shopping.

The survey reported six percent of the travelers to Harrison County were from Iowa; five percent from Wisconsin and Kansas; 3.5 percent from Minnesota and Illinois; 2.5 percent from Missouri; 1.5 percent from South Dakota and 70 percent from other states or countries. Over 40 percent of these visitors said Iowa was their destination and 47.2 percent said the purpose of their trip was for leisure.

“We routinely have visitors from all 50 states and 20 to 25 foreign countries a year,” Dirks said.

The vast majority of these travelers, 54.8 percent said they stayed in a hotel or motel and 28.2 percent in the home of friends or family.

Visitors listed gathering information as their main purpose of stopping at the

Harrison County Welcome Center. Others said a travel break, use of restrooms or shopping.

According to the survey, their main areas of interest were historical (46.5 percent), followed by, visiting family and friends (36.8 percent), outdoor recreation (29.1 percent), scenic byways (26.4 percent), museums (23.4 percent), shopping (17.5 percent), national and state parks (15.1 percent), wineries (11.4 percent), casinos (10.3 percent), festivals and events (9.6 percent).

The survey showed that in 2010 there were 10,466 visitors to the Harrison County Welcome Center, with July being the top month with 1,740, followed by August with 1,491, June 1,434 and September 1,373.

According to Dirks the Lincoln Highway will be celebrating its centennial in 2013.

“Already there is a cross-county tour planned,” Dirks said.

“And I’m sure there will be other activities as well which will further encourage driving the historic Lincoln Highway, experiencing its diverse communities and attractions and spending some money while doing it.”

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.

When there are no more candles on the cake Mom would have been 84 tomorrow. It doesn’t seem like it’s been years since she passed away, yet, it seems it was a very long time ago when I could pick up the phone and hear her voice.

At least with time I don’t have the urge to call her anymore when something good, or bad, has happened to me that day. Instead my mind whispers softly how much mom would have enjoyed things like watching my youngest try on her wedding dress or knowing that my oldest made it through eight years of college to become a veterinarian.

On those days when I feel the squeeze of being part of the sandwich generation, I tell the girls that if I become a burden when I’m older, I won’t hold it against them if they choose not to take on the task of caregiver. Even though my mind says that’s what I would want them to do, my heart says differently.

I will never regret taking care of mom those last months of her life. When she asked to go home, after being in the hospital and knowing she was losing the battle, all I wanted was for her to be happy.

There’s obviously never a good way to die. Most of us hope it comes in our sleep, whether we know it’s time or not. Some want to know when their days are numbered so they can prepare and say goodbye, while others wish for it to happen quickly.

No one likes to prepare and say goodbye. No one likes to think about death, yet we all have to deal with it during the life cycle. Maybe mom knew me better than I knew myself. After tests and more tests and the final prognosis were given, I cried while she never shed a tear. She consoled me, when it should have been the other way around.

Asking for hospice and I to take care of her at home, she gave me the last and most important lesson.

Sometimes we’d have long talks; sometimes we’d say nothing. Her confidence and strength taught me that death is inevitable, but coming to terms with your life, while you’re alive, makes leaving this earth a little easier.

We had a big birthday party for her. She wore a pink bandana on her head and her best purple and pink flowered nightgown. All of her family came and went throughout the day.

She’d lift her oxygen mask just long enough to say hello and to give a smile to each of her guests. Between the hospital bed and the oxygen tanks there wasn’t much room to move around. By the end of the day she was exhausted, but happy and content. Just before she drifted off to sleep she told me what a great day she had. I felt at ease as well and it was one of those times nothing more needed to be said. She was ready to go and I was finally ready to let go.

She died three days later.

Sorry for such a sad story today but sometimes you just want everyone to celebrate those silent birthdays to help keep the memory alive.

Wipeout An unknown number of inbound missiles had targeted us and we had less than an hour to leave. We hurried to our meeting centers, collected combat gear and waited for buses to take us to our scatter site. With luck we would be able to set up our field hospital and be ready for the inevitable mass casualties. We knew it would be an interesting day.

We jokingly called ourselves, “SAC trained killers” deep in the heart of the Great Plains at Ellsworth Air Force Base in western South Dakota. B-52’s rotated from our base to Guam once a year to bomb Southeast Asia, and then returned. Our base also maintained numerous isolated missile sites across Wyoming and western South Dakota, and because of our strategic location, authorities deemed us to be at high risk for attack.

Thus, we frequently played war games. Our medical group became expert at “treating” casualties with horrendous wounds, including spurting fake blood. We quickly separated the wounded into triage categories and through we knew it was only practice, we realized a bad performance brought retribution in the form of extra detail and more war games. Most of the attacks

were confined to the base, but this time was special.

We were going to set up a hospital at Sturgis.

Compared to another base where we often erected tents in cold rain, the Sturgis site was luxurious with actual buildings and some medical facilities already in place.

The plan was to install portable x-ray machines and development tanks, surgical tables and a ward as quickly as possible. We never knew how long we would wait for casualties.

Sometimes it took an hour or so for something to happen, so we sat around reading or playing cards. On other occasions, a few trickled in before we had finished setting up. One time at least 50 seriously injured airmen and civilians arrived before we had finished the hospital. We had to stop the bleeding and fix gaping chest wounds while sorting those expected to die from the others. Sometimes, we put the least damaged airman to work as they helped care for their less fortunate brothers and sisters. Their numbers almost overwhelmed us.

That scenario was what we expected. We got something else. Our squadron quickly filled the buses which sped to the main gate as missile progress reports

Perley’s Bits & Pieces

By Jim Perley Logan Herald-Observer Columnist jperley@iowatelecom.net

echoed in our heads. The sense of urgency was palatable. Within moments, we would be free of the potential death trap our base had become and would be speeding up the road to do the jobs we had trained for.

Our convoy stopped at the main gate, but instead of moving on, we remained stopped in a vulnerable position. An enemy could have wiped out most of the medical squadron because we were sitting ducks. Our bus was farther back in the line and we didn’t know what was happening.

We waited for what seemed like hours as the missiles came closer. Our escape time had dwindled to so little our only hope was to escape the base and hope for the best. We would never reach our scatter site in time and we began to wonder how we would save ourselves.

Someone finally told us about the bureaucratic disaster which was about to

destroy us. The lead driver had forgotten to bring the documentation proving what we were doing. The Air Policeman refused to let such a large contingent off the base until we could prove who we said we were.

The commander screamed at the Airman but he refused to budge. The colonel called the hospital and told someone to rush the papers to the main gate.

The first missiles hit as we left the base.

Most of us were declared dead, but a few made it out alive. We never reached our scatter site though. Next came the fun part as our leaders conducted a post mortem and told us more war games were in our future until we got it right.

One stupid mistake had wiped out the base.

Later that afternoon, a master sergeant summed it up as he called home. “Tell your mother ‘war is hell’ and I will be home in a couple of hours.”

News from the Extension Service

Careful what you read A news release last week included some bold language stating that a newly named foliar disease of bur oak trees could be fatal to trees and was being found around Iowa. Although when you boil down the title, most of the individual bits of information within the title and in the rest of the article are true, it is possible that many Iowans might read more into the matter than is appropriate.

Bur oaks are important to Iowans, and particularly here in western Iowa, because they are a dominant tree species. Vast stands of bur oaks both as sentinel trees in loess hills savannahs and in wooded areas have persisted and increased since European settlement. These trees serve as the signature species of oak in western Iowa, so a threatened widespread loss is a big deal. On Feb. 9, a useful article appeared in the online ISU Horticulture and Home Pest News. Here are some summary thoughts from the article, and the link to the full article is at:

http://www.ipm.iastate.edu /ipm/hortnews/2011/29/buroakblight.html.

Bur oak blight (BOB for short) has been recognized in Iowa for about six or seven years, but the disease appears to have been present in Iowa for a much longer time. The severity of the disease has been increased recently – especially in western Iowa – because of the wetter spring and early summers that we have experienced.

BOB symptoms usually appear in late July, August and September if the weather is right. Leaves develop dead areas of tissue along the veins, with wedge-shaped brown areas at the tips of sides of the leaves. Old leaf petioles that remain on the branches through the winter are the primary way the disease overwinters.

The disease is caused by a leafspot fungus. Other areas outside of Iowa have had oaks damaged by the fungus Tubakia dryina, and until recently that is the species that was assumed to be affecting our oaks.

Rich Pope Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator But on closer examination, the Iowa bur oaks are being infected by a new species of Tubakia, and of the five species that can infect bur oak, only one seems to cause the dramatic leaf loss and tree mortality. Add to that, that not all stands of bur oaks seem to be affected, and even in infected stands, trees will vary in the damage caused. And finally, the most severe damage seems to occur to older savannah sentinel trees on uplands, while dense forest stands on bottomlands are less affected.

Individual trees that suffer substantial disease for multiple years can be weakened and die, but again it is a slow process and trees vary in their response.

Dr. Tom Harrington in the ISU department of Plant Pathology is leading a research effort on BOB, and as more is learned, more information will be shared.

You can see pictures of BOB symptoms and the full article at the website mentioned above. If you are interested in getting e-mail notices of new articles as they are published on the ISU Horticulture and Home Pest News at this W e b s i t e : http://www.ipm.iastate.edu /ipm/hortnews/user/register.

To Retire Comfortably,Know What Moves to Make and When to MakeThem To Retire Comfortably, Know What Moves to Make and When to Make Them Article 4 — Feb. 14, 2011 We all want to enjoy a comfortable retirement. But to do so, we need to make different moves, and consider different issues, at different times of our lives.

To help illustrate this point, let’s look at three individuals: Alice, who is just starting out in her career; Bob, who is nearing retirement, and Charlie, who has recently retired.

Let’s start with Alice. As a young worker, Alice has a good four decades ahead of her until she retires. Yet she realizes that it’s never too soon to start saving for retirement, so she has already begun contributing to her 401(k) and to an IRA. And since she has so much time ahead of her, she can afford to invest aggressively, putting much of her contributions in growth-oriented vehicles. While it’s true that the market will certainly have its “dips” in the future, and that Alice’s account values could rise and fall from year to year, it’s also true that, over the long term, stocks have historically trended upward*. And the longer Alice holds her investments, the less of an impact that market extremes should have on her 401(k), IRA and other accounts.

Now, let’s turn our attention to Bob. Since he is within a few years of retirement, he has some key decisions to make. For one thing, he must decide if it’s time to change the investment mix in his IRA, 401(k) and other accounts. Because Bob doesn’t

have much time to overcome market volatility, and since he’d like to maintain the gains he has already achieved, he may decide to become more conservative with his investments.

Consequently, he may choose to move some of his investment dollars from stocks to bonds and other fixed-income securities.

Realizing, however, that he may spend two or three decades in retirement, and knowing that he will need to stay ahead of inflation, he doesn’t abandon all his growth-oriented investments.

Furthermore, Bob decides that he may need to bolster his retirement income, so he considers whether an annuity, which is designed to provide him with an income stream he can’t outlive is appropriate for his situation.

Our final “life stages” investor is Charlie. He has recently retired, so his biggest concern is making sure he doesn’t outlive his financial resources. Therefore, he may need to consider a variety of moves. For starters, he should determine when to start taking Social Security and when to begin taking withdrawals from his IRA and 401(k) plans. (For a traditional IRA and a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan, Charlie, like all investors, must start taking withdrawals no later than age 70-1/2, but for a Roth IRA, there is no age requirement. However, there may be other requirements that must be met for a Roth IRA. ) After decid-

ing when to start taking withdrawals from his retirement plans, he’ll also need to calculate how much he can afford to take each year without emptying the accounts. Finally, he might need to rebalance his overall investment portfolio to provide himself with more income.

Of course, the situations described have been simplified for illustrative purposes to give an idea of some of the considerations for different stages in your life. It is important to work with your financial professional to develop a plan to help you enjoy the retirement lifestyle that you’ve envisioned. *Past performance is no guarantee of future results. An investment in stocks will fluctuate with market conditions and may be worth more or less than the original investment. Before investing in bonds, you should understand the risks involved, including interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. When interest rates rise the prices of bonds can decrease and the investor may lose principal value if sold prior to maturity.

Panthers pick up four wins Trent Buckner For the Herald-Observer With two scheduled games and two make-up games, the Lo-Ma Panther boys’ basketball team had a busy schedule playing four games in five days last week.

The week began with the Panthers hosting Missouri Valley in a non-conference game. Lo-Ma came out ready to play and staked a 34-18 lead at the half en route to a 64-44 victory.

The Panthers were led by Levi Ettleman with 23 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, two steals and seven blocks. Others helping were Nate Fender, 11 points, two rebounds, six assists and four steals; Paul Hutson, eight points, 11 rebounds and a block; Cole Davis, seven points, six rebounds and an assist; Gannon Cunard, seven points, three rebounds, and an assist; Zach Powley, four points, an assist and steal; Alex Cohrs, four points, two rebounds.

“It was nice to get off to a fast start tonight against a scrappy Missouri Valley team,” said coach Steve Nixon. “I was also happy with how we bounced back after a disappointing Friday night at Lawton. We have a big week ahead of us and hopefully we can continue to get better.

The next challenge was a make-up game against Ridgeview in Holstein. This game was only 24 hours after the last and the team was without the services of Brennan Azinger for a second game in a row and Zach Powley.

Lo-Ma started the game strong as they grabbed a 28-17 lead at half. In the second half, they withstood all runs by Ridgeview and took the game by a final score of 56-47.

“This was one of our best

efforts of the year,” Nixon said.

“We were missing two starters and we had some guys step up off the bench and play well. It was also our second game in a row, so the guys showed a lot of toughness and really gutted it out. We did a good job taking care of the ball and our rebounding was exceptional. I was really proud of our guys.”

Panther stats were: Ettleman, 26 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, two steals, a block; Fender, 16 points, two rebounds, three assists, a steal; Hutson, 12 points, six rebounds, two steals; Davis, two points, one rebound, four assists, five steals; Cunard, five rebounds, a block; Cohrs, three rebounds and an assist.

The final Western Valley Conference game of the season was against Whiting. After a close first quarter, Lo-Ma used a big second period holding the Warriors to five points and putting in 18 to go into half with a 37-20 lead. At the final buzzer, the Panthers earned a 57-38 win. With the victory, the Panthers finished the conference with an undefeated 8-0 record.

Leading Lo-Ma in the win was another strong performance from Ettleman. He had 25 points, six rebounds, two assists, five steals, three blocks; Powley, nine points, one rebound, one assist, a steal; Azinger, six points, a rebound, and a steal; Davis, six points, five rebounds, one assist, three steals; Hutson, five points, eight rebounds, three assists, four steals; Cohrs, three points, two rebounds, a steal; Cunard, two points, four rebounds, an assist; Fender, one point, two rebounds, seven assists and two steals; Nate Morton, two rebounds, a steal; Caden McDonald, one rebound; Austin Ettleman, one rebound.

“I was really glad we were

Kephart,” Kersten said.

“Troy Sodders also got a big win with a first period pin

To finish the week, the Panthers traveled to Malvern to take on the East Mills Wolverines in the final game of the regular season. Lo-Ma used a solid defensive effort as they held East Mills to 10 or less points in every quarter. Final score was 42-30, Panthers.

“With this being our fourth game in five days, I was really proud of how our guys just gutted it out tonight,” Nixon said. “We were very unselfish on offense and our defense was terrific in the second half. This should give us some momentum and confidence heading into districts next week. I know the guys are excited that it’s tournament time.”

Stats: Ettleman, 13 points, five rebounds, four assists and two blocks; Fender, 13 points, three rebounds, four assists, a steal; Hutson, eight points, eight rebounds, an assist, three steals; Azinger, six points; Davis, two points, two assists, three steals; Powley, one rebound, two assists, a steal; Cohrs, two rebounds.

With these four wins, the Panthers improved their record to 16-5 heading into the first round of districts Feb. 14.

10 regional dual wins in a row for Panthers

By Mary Darling After grabbing a total of seven pins in the match with Underwood and nine with Akron-Westfield, Lo-Ma earned its 10th consecutive regional dual championship Feb. 8.

“Everyone did a great job in this regional dual,” said coach Kent Kersten. “It was an outstanding team effort.”

In the match with AkronWestfield, Lo-Ma wrestlers earning pins were Quinton Doiel (119), Dillon Lorentzen (125), Zach Hatcher (135), Nolan Oviatt (140), Troy Sodders (145), Dillon Miller (152), Marrick Loftus (160), Travis Jones (171) and Chris Bridgeford (189).

“This pushes the number of pins this year up to 290 so far,” Kersten said.

Ridge Meeker (103), Ethan Reynek (112), Evan Mikels (215) and Logan Melby (275) picked up forfeits. Eric Brosnahan lost a major decision, 16-7, to Chet Utesch, a highly ranked wrestler. The final score was 78-4, Lo-Ma. The team racked up seven additional pins in the match with Underwood. Earning pins were, Lorentzen (125), Brosnahan (130), Hatcher (135), Oviatt (140), Sodders (145), Bridgeford (189) and Mikels (215). Doiel (119) won by technical fall and Jones (171) won a major decision over Travis Kephart 9-0.

Melby (275) lost by pin.

Meeker (103) lost a decision to Riley Kline, 9-7, Reynek (112) lost a decision to Andrew Foutch 10-3, and Loftus (160) lost a decision to Landon Eberl 7-1.

“Travis Jones started out with a big win, a 9-0 major decision over Travis

Lady Panthers end week with disappointing loss

over Mike Novotny.” The state dual meet will be held Feb. 26 in Cedar Rapids.

If you had to sum up the LoMa Panthers lady basketball season in one word, it would be “emotional.” During the season milestones were reached and records fell. While preparing for district play this week, the Panthers were victorious against both Boyer Valley and Whiting, only to end their season with a tough loss at the hands of the Tri-Center Trojans.

The week began Feb. 9 as the Boyer Valley Bulldogs played host to the Panthers. Unlike the first time these two teams met earlier this season, Lo-Ma jumped to an early lead as Kylee Loftus was able to penetrate the Bulldog defense mid way through the first quarter to help the Panthers establish a lead of 15-9. Second quarter play saw the Panthers spread the scoring around as Loftus, Karen Hutson and Macy Cohrs added to LoMa’s lead. At the half, the Panthers were up 28-17. Third quarter steals by Hutson and Courtney Oviatt resulted in more Lo-Ma points. The fourth quarter saw an explosion of points as both the Bulldogs and Lo-Ma combined for 36 points.

Once the dust settled, the Panthers won by 18 points.

Loftus led the scoring with 18 points. Hutson ended the night with 16 points, Cohrs had 10, Carrie Charbonneau and Oviatt scored eight and seven respectively. Kia Fender and Ashley Bradshaw added two each.

Feb. 10, the Panthers faced the Whiting Warriors on LoMa’s home court. Whiting initially held its own against LoMa’s offense in the first quarter.

The Warriors rotated defensive players on Hutson and by using this tactic Whiting was able to

keep Lo-Ma to only a four-point lead to end the first quarter. But Whiting committed seven fouls as the period ended with the Panthers up 12-8. In the second quarter, Lo-Ma opened up a nine-point lead against the Warriors to end the half, up 2718. As play resumed in the third quarter, the Panthers were only able to increase the margin of lead an additional two points, 40-29. Lo-Ma finally found its defensive groove and held Whiting to seven points in the final eight minutes of play. The Panthers notched up their 17th victory of the season defeating the Warriors 54-36.

Regional play began Feb. 12 with a rematch between the TriCenter Trojans and the Panthers. The Trojan’s entered the night with a record of 13 wins and seven losses with one of those losses handed to them by the Panthers. Tri-Center was able to contain Lo-Ma early keeping the Panthers from getting inside on offense. The Lady Panthers had trouble maintaining ball control as several Lo-Ma turnovers resulted in Trojan points. Loftus put in five of the Panthers seven

points for the first quarter. At the end of the quarter, Lo-Ma trailed Tri-Center 7-11. During the second quarter of play, the Panthers could not get their shots to fall. Going into halftime, Lo-Ma was down 25-21.

Back on the court to start the third quarter, the Panthers continued to struggle both offensively and defensively.

Continued turnovers allowed the Trojan’s to pull ahead. LoMa had problems at the free throw line shooting well below their season average. During the fourth quarter, the Panthers fought back from a ten-point deficit. Coming off the bench was Emily Dickinson who seemed to add a spark to the Lo-Ma team. With good defense and several clutch free throws from Loftus, Lo-Ma managed to take the lead with 1:41 left in the game, 51-50.

The Lady Panthers battled hard in the fourth quarter but fell short in the last seconds of the game, 57-52.The Panthers ended their season with a record of 17 wins and 4 losses.

Three of the four losses came at the hands of state ranked teams.

February is heart month Some heart attacks are sudden and intense, but most of them start slowly with mild pain or discomfort. Some signs that can mean a heart attack is happening include: •Tightness, pressure, pain or burning in chest, shoulder, arms, back, neck or jaw •Shortness of breath •Sweating (may be cold or clammy) •Weakness, fatigue or dizziness •Palpitations (skipping or fluttering in your chest) •Nausea and/or vomiting •Pale or grey-looking skin Treatment: •Stop activity and lie down •If you have nitroglycerin, take one tablet under your tongue. If you still have symptoms, call 911.

Repeat nitroglycerin every five minutes until you have

taken three.

•Chew one adult aspirin or four baby aspirins while waiting for the rescue unit •If symptoms do not go away with rest, call 911 Heart disease affects more women then men.

More women die from heart disease than all cancers combined.

•Women are more likely to die than men in the first year after a heart attack •Heart attacks are frequently unrecognized in women •Women are not always treated as aggressively as men •Women may delay seeking treatment.

Symptoms can be vague, not the typical chest pain symptoms and they are in the caregiver role taking care of everyone else.

•After menopause the protective effect of estrogens on your heart is gone

The American Heart Association and Alegent Health Community Memorial Hospital reminds everyone that cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the United States.

Every minute you delay treatment for a heart attack may be costing you precious heart muscle. A heart attack may be easily diagnosed with EKG’s and blood tests and quickly rules out in the emergency department.

According to hospital officials, on the average, patients who arrive in the emergency department at Missouri Valley receive an

EKG in 1.5 minutes. The average in the state of Iowa is 9.9 minutes. Over 110 patients annual come to the Community Memorial Hospital emergency department for treatment of chest pain.

Staff an very quickly determine if the source of the pain is truly a heart attack or not.

Alegent Health Community Memorial Hospital is applying for national certification as a “chest pain center.”

Several metro Alegent facilities have this certification, but so far, no regional hospitals have applied for the title.

Ongoing dispute sends TCA factions back to court Mike Brownless World-Herald News Service The ongoing dispute within the Harrison County Town & Country Arts organization continued in court.

A hearing was set for Feb. 14 at 1:30 p.m. at the Harrison County Courthouse in Logan to decide which bylaws will be used in electing new officers and directors for the organization.

The feud began in January 2010, shortly after the election of chairman Joe Vittitoe, vice chair Eric Newberg, secretary Lori Newberg and treasurer David Leonard.

Town & Country Arts

founder and board member Norma Coret, along with a group she calls the organization’s board of directors Sharlotte Watson, Chris Hinkel, Don Doumakes and Bill McAlpine - filed suit against the aforementioned officers, along with a set of board members appointed by the Vittitoe faction: Peggy Hill, Renea Anderson, Jim Perley, Rick Dilley and Deb Nelson. The Vittitoe faction subsequently filed a counter suit.

At a Jan. 25 hearing, Fourth Judicial District Judge James Richardson gave the two sides 10 days to plan an officer election with agreed-upon rules.

Both parties agreed the officer election would render

pending litigation moot.

According to court documents, both sides reached an impasse regarding which set of bylaws to use for the meeting, prompting the hearing.

“Because of the impasse, we want the court to determine it,” said Jack Ruesch, attorney for the Vittitoe side. “If parties can’t resolve a dispute, the court does.

That’s why we have courts.”

The Vittitoe faction submitted a proposal to use bylaws modeled after the Iowa State Bar Association standard nonprofit corporation bylaws, according to a motion filed in Harrison County Court. The motion notes the parties were

“unable to agree on any terms but the location of the annual meeting.”

Ruesch said the parties had agreed on Logan as the site for the election, but no specific building had been selected.

In its response to the Vittitoe faction’s motion, the Coret side mentioned the impasse and little else.

Both sides requested the hearing to settle the matter.

Asked what parts of the bylaws the parties couldn’t agree on, Reusch said he didn’t know.

“We were told that we can’t agree by the other side,” he said.

Several calls to the office of Allen Nepper, attorney for the Coret faction, were

unreturned on Feb. 7.

Founded in 1977 by Coret, Town & County Arts has about 150 to 170 members and is the only arts council in Harrison County.

The original “Petition in Equity” filed by the Coret faction charges the Vittitoe faction changed the locks at the TCA building in Modale, attempted to invade the bank account of the organization, attempted to destroy the relationship of the current board of directors with the membership of the organization and changed the mail box of the organization.

In its response to the petition, the Vittitoe faction denies all of the allegations.

And in a cross-petition filed against the Coret faction, the Vittitoe faction claims Coret and Doumakes submitted letters of resignation in early 2010, while as of January 2010 Hinkel had not paid organization dues for about five years.

On July 14, Anderson, Holcomb, Perley and Hill were appointed to the board of directors by the Vittitoe side, while Nelson was added on Aug. 11.

In a previous interview, Coret said Doumakes and she resigned their donor memberships, but not from the board of directors.

Explaining the difference, Coret said the pair stopped their donation agreement with the organization.

COURT/BY DEPUTY 7-3

but did not know if it would be in this next budget or not. Gary Nordby, Park Board president, discussed the park budget. He said the Park Board would like to add a small park shelter to the city park near the playground equipment. He also stated they would like to buy some new swings. He is getting price estimates on the park shelter. He also said the board is still interested in a walking trail through Milliman Park.

The clerk showed the council how the budget certification page looks with all the budget numbers entered in that the council has been working on. The property taxes will have a slight increase of 0.23% over last year’s budget.

The clerk gave the council the information she received from the Iowa Rural Water on possible rate increase/decrease based on the city’s current debt, reserves, expenes and number of customers.

The council will review the information and make a decision in April about the rates for next year.

tinuing to work and move the bills out.”

Windschitl said there were a lot of agendas trying to be pushed forward.

“We are trying to alleviate the tax burden and deal with the challenges in the budget,” he said.

Andrew Schlichtemeier, who apologized and pleaded guilty Thursday to killing four motorcyclists on Interstate 29, already is thinking about what to do with his life after prison, his lawyer says.

The 22-year-old faces years behind bars after admitting he was drunk when his pickup truck veered into the four oncoming riders last August.

“I will forever be remorseful,” he told the judge. “I am at fault.”

Schlichtemeier, of Murray, Neb., will be sentenced March 24 on four counts of vehicular homicide.

Each count carries a penalty of 25 years in prison.

If the judge accepts the prosecutor’s recommendation, Schlichtemeier would be sentenced to 50 years.

Legal experts have said he could be paroled in 10 to 20 years.

Attorney Steve Lefler said Schlichtemeier intends to devote his life after prison to helping those who suffer from alcoholism and “bipolar issues” – two problems that Lefler said his client

suffers from and that will be reported in a pre-sentence investigation.

“He is going to dedicate his life to (helping) people,” Lefler said.’

The Iowa State Patrol has said Schlichtemeier’s bloodalcohol level measured .373 percent – more than four times the legal limit – when his truck slammed into the motorcyclists Aug. 9 in a construction area near Little Sioux, north of Council Bluffs.

In a statement in court, Schlichtemeier named those riders – Jay Bock of Omaha, Neb.; Steven Benscoter of Pacific Junction; and Dale Aspedon and Dennis Chaney, both of Glenwood. The four were returning home from Sturgis, S.D. Schlichtemeier’s guilty plea brought only a small measure of satisfaction to those who knew and loved the motorcyclists.

“I’m grateful we won’t have to have a trial,” said Suzie Bock, sister of Jay Bock and a cousin of Chaney. “In that sense, it’s a blessing.”

Denise Manard, a cousin of the Bocks and Chaney, agreed.

“There’s so much evidence,” she said. “We all

know what happened, and he needs to pay for it.”

Harrison County District Judge Jeffrey Larson asked Schlichtemeier if he understood the charges and the ramifications of his guilty plea.

Flanked by two of his lawyers, Schlichtemeier replied in a firm voice: “Yes, your honor,” and nodded. He then offered a brief description of what happened.

“I became intoxicated and drove my vehicle north on Interstate 29, crossed the center line and came into contact with” – naming the motorcyclists – “resulting in all four fatalities,” he said.

Suzie Bock said she was glad to hear Schlichtemeier name the victims.

“I want to know that he gets it, that he knows what he has done,” she said after the hearing. “I just want to know that he understands.

I don’t think I ever will.”

Lefler said reciting the names of the dead was Schlichtemeier’s idea. “He wants to honor them.”

After the hearing, Schlichtemeier was returned to the Harrison County Jail, where he has been held for several months.

RECORD 10 WRESTLERS TO STATE Kevin White World Herald News Service The number 10 signified a pair of remarkable achievements on Saturday for the indomitable LoganMagnolia wrestling program.

In the Class I-A district meet at St. Albert High School, the Panthers wrapped up a state-record the 10th straight year of sweeping the sectional, regional dual and district championships.

Logan-Magnolia also qualified – you guessed it – a school record 10 wrestlers for the state tournament, which begins a four-day run Feb. 16 at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

The Panthers sent 12 wrestlers to the district meet. In front of a reporterestimated 1,500 who squeezed their way into the Falcon gym, LoganMagnolia won the district crown by a 173 – 83.5 margin over runner-up Tri-

Center.

“If we could have gotten all of them that would have been great, but 10’s a good number,” Lo-Ma coach Kent Kersten said. “We had a tough sectional and a tough district, and I think we’ve got guys that can go out there and place.”

Lo-Ma crowned six champions: juniors Ethan Reynek (112 pounds); rated ninth) and Quinton Doiel (119; No. 4), along with seniors Dillon Lorentzen (125; No. 4), Nolan Oviatt (140; No. 2), Marrick Loftus (160; No. 2) and Travis Jones (171). The Panther’s runners-up were freshman Ridge Meeker (103), senior Zach Hatcher (135; No. 8), junior Chris Bridgeford (189) and senior Evan Mikels (215; No. 4).

Bridgeford (39-12) is one of the unsung Panthers.

He pinned Treynor’s Trenton Geer (296) in the first round, lost to Woodbine’s No. 3 Dalton Peterson (47-0) in the next round and then scored a

hard-fought 6-3 win over Tri-Center’s Jacob Kramer (34-14) in the wrestleback for true second.

“If you knew how hard he worked,” Kersten said.

“He’s in there every morning wrestling with one of the coaches. He stays after practice every day and lifts weights. He’s come a long ways, he really has.”

According to Kersten, this is the fourth time Oviatt has qualified for the state tournament, the third for Lorentzen and second for Doiel, Loftus and Mikels. Taking their first trip to state are Reynek, Hatcher, Jones and Bridgeford.

“I thought everyone did a great job,” Kersten said. Travis Jones (171) was champion yet again on Saturday at districts after defeating Adam “Ten wrestlers is the most Schmidt of Treynor in the finals.

There were a lot of tough matches. I am proud of the way our guys wrestled today. They showed a lot of heart.”
