Logan’s “Mr. Fireworks” leaves colorful legacy

Lo-Ma Board approves contracts, policies at Oct. 12 meeting

Mary Darling

Editor

For more than five decades, area residents have lined the highways, parking areas and hills around the Lo-Ma athletic field on the Fourth of July to view the special fireworks show created by Logan’s own “Mr. Fireworks,” LeRoy “Boz” Bosworth. When he passed away Oct. 6, he left a legacy that continues to be carried on by son Tedd and the faithful fireworks crew. In 2009 when Boz decided it was time to slow down and passed the torch on to his son, he enjoyed sitting back and watching the displays from his seat near the LoMa Athletic Field. Tedd even brought a golf cart down so Boz could go back and forth answering questions from the crew.

A board policy change regarding a grade requirement for taking post secondary classes drew considerable discussion among board members at the Oct. 12 meeting. The policy change proposed was the requirement of a minimum of a grade of “C” on post secondary classes taken by students the district pays for. The proposed policy said students not earning the minimum grade on college credit courses, could take additional courses, but at their own expense. Board member Kelly Gochenour thought the grade requirement should be at least a “B.” “We need some accountability in the system,” Gochenour said. Board president Dan Cohrs stated his concern was that the school is trying

Foods. By 1958, he took over the display with his first order totaling $460.72. By SEE BOSWORTH Page 2

to meet the needs of all students. “Yes, we are trying to meet the needs of higher learning, but we want to offer an equal opportunity for all students,” Cohrs said. Board member Shelley Foutch was concerned a higher grade requirement could be discouraging to some students. “We are trying to give them the opportunity here to go on to another level of education. You don’t want to stifle them so they won’t go on. We need to play to the entire student body, not just exceptional kids,” Foutch said. Board member Matt Pitt was in favor of requiring a higher grade than a “C.” “The students have to take a test to prove they can take these college level courses and if we set that bar, that is what they SEE SCHOOL BOARD Page 2

Chamber recognizes business Mary Darling Editor JR Springston, Logan, doesn’t go small with his business, Hawkeye LiftTech. He works on the gigantic Gantry cranes that can pick up 900 metric tons as well as ships. Springston got his start in the Marine Corps working on heavy equipment. When he got out of the Marines, he was hired by Iowa Pre-Stress Concrete in Des Moines to run a crane. “They didn’t have anyone to repair it and made

me maintenance manager,” Springston said. From there, he worked for Enterprise Properties in Omaha, Neb. for five years and then started his own business about four years ago. “I like traveling and really enjoy seeing the customers satisfied,” Springston said. “We take a lot of pride in what we do.” According to Springston ,it takes between three to four days to install a crane or take one apart.

From the Front

PRECINCTS: Redistricting FROM PAGE 1 ing. Iowa House Districts 17 and 18 split Harrison County into two legislative districts. According to Auditor Susan Bonham, a voting precinct must solely lie within one district. The changes include splitting voting Precinct 5 (Boyer, Lincoln and Douglas Townships) and Precinct 9 (Calhoun, Jefferson and LaGrange Townships) apart to comply with the rule that a precinct must be contained in a single legislative district. Harrison County is proposing to merge Douglas Township into Precinct 13 that contains Harrison Township and the City of Dunlap. The voting location will continue to be at Dunlap City Hall.

According to the proposal, Precinct 5 will include Calhoun Township along with Magnolia Township and the City of Magnolia. The voting location for Precinct 5 will remain Magnolia City Hall. The remainder of the precincts will remain the same and have the same locations for voting. The change only affects primary and general elections. In results of the state redistricting process, Sen. Jim Seymour will continue, to serve Harrison County, but will lose part of Pottawattamie County including the towns of Crescent, Honey Creek, Loveland, Neola, Underwood and some others. He will pick up all of Shelby County once the new Senate District 8 is created.

State Rep. Matt Windschitl will see significant changes. Under the new redistricting plan, the district will be comprised of all of Ida and Monona Counties and portions of Harrison and Woodbury Counties. It will be renumbered as House District 17. Windschitl will lose about half of Harrison County including Dunlap, Logan and Persia and all of Pottawattamie County. The Harrison County Board of Supervisors will hold the first reading of the proposed re-precincting and redistricting of the county for voting precincts at 9:30 a.m., Oct. 20 at the supervisors meeting room at the courthouse. For more information you may contact Bonham at the Harrison County Courthouse.

BOSWORTH: Colorful legacy FROM PAGE 1 the time he retired, the average total cost of the show had jumped to $5,500. Boz and his faithful crew, spent many nights prior to the Fourth of July creating ground displays for several years. He constructed frames throughout much of the month of June and then the crew gathered and put the lances on the frames. “We never knew what he had come up with until we got to his house,” said Gale Muxfeldt a crew member for more than 50 years. “Boz just loved it,” said Alvin Dinkel, a member of the crew since 1972. “He was very innovative.” His favorite frame he ever built, he had said, was a butterfly because it had hinged wings that would flap back and forth. Instead of ordering the frames, which was costprohibitive, Boz spent hours and hours perusing fireworks catalogs and then creating them himself. He would take a picture, draw squares on it one inch apart, and then transfer that to the frames that

had squares one-foot apart. The ground displays were discontinued in 1991 leaving more time and money to purchase additional aerial displays. After 9/11, Boz said regulations really changed for ordering the fireworks. They used to be able to have the fireworks delivered two weeks ahead of time and he would store them in his garage but after 9/11, the order had to be delivered the morning of the display. In 2009, in conjunction with the Logan Pride Awards, the Logan Chamber of Commerce honored Boz with a certificate of appreciation for his 50 years of service to the city. Boz was a humble man and never wanted to take all the credit himself. He had his faithful crew of helpers, including Muxfeldt, who was by his side all 50 years and continues to take part, as well as Dinkel and many other regulars. “Boz just loved it,” Muxfeldt said. “He had all the stuff in his garage and we would work on it there.

He was just a prince of a guy.” According to Muxfeldt, it takes about 12 to 15 guys to set off the display each year and Boz didn’t recruit just anybody for the job. “Boz was pretty selective in who he asked to help. He was never bossy, but for the new ones he gave real good lessons of what to do and what not to do. In 50 years, we never had any accidents. He was real careful.” “He did some safety measures other people didn’t,” Dinkel said. “He would go to meetings and see how things should be done and then he would adopt them.” Dinkel said there was something he thought many of the fireworks crew didn’t know about. “Boz would go back down to the field the day after the fireworks display and clean the area up. I bet the fireworks guys don’t know that,” Dinkel said. This year, come the Fourth of July, and the sky is lit up with the colorful displays, Boz will have the best seat in the house.

SCHOOL BOARD: Policies approved FROM PAGE 1 should achieve,” Pitt said. Following further discussion, the board approved the requirement of a minimum of a grade of “C” on a three to two vote, with Pitt and Gochenour voting no. A large contingent of students and parents attended the meeting regarding the possible addition of a soccer program to the spring sports program. Parent Brianna Lally, acting as spokesperson for the group, and a member of the Optimist Club, told the board the club now runs the soccer program in Logan. She said they were willing to take on the financial responsibility of the soccer program as well as having the needed equipment and volunteers for coaches. “I don’t think the fear of soccer taking away from

other sports is a valid point,” Lally said. Cohrs told Lally that the board has its group’s side and is looking into the issue. No action was taken at the meeting. A part-time contract for Frank Marsh, to teach upper level math courses was approved by the board. Salary was set at $20,000. A contract for junior high quiz bowl sponsor to Kathie Foreman was approved with $258 added to her present contract for high school quiz bowl sponsor. The board approved Faith Riessen as a third coach for high school girls basketball and Kirk Kersten for assistant wrestling coach. Boys’ Basketball Coach Kevin Osborn told the board that due to Kyle Graber obtaining a job as a police officer for the City of Logan, he would not be

able to serve as his assistant coach and would move Trent Lally into that position with Shad Hornbeck and Graber as volunteer assistants. The first reading of the board policy pertaining to attendance was approved by the board. The policy states students are allowed a maximum of 20 absences with a minimum of 158 days of attendance required, before credit may be affected. The second readings were approved for policies regarding employee record regulations, school bus safety instruction, closed session requirements and parents viewing video footage from the buses. Leadership students attended the meeting and gave a presentation on their week at camp this summer each saying something they had learned from the experience.

BUSINESS: Hawkeye Lift-Tech FROM PAGE 1 “Sometimes coordinating all the equipment needed at the job site can take longer,” he said. The primary business for the company is installation, repair and dismantling of Gantry cranes, overhead cranes and forklifts.

“We go all over the country from Ohio to Texas to Minnesota,” Springston said. “Locally, we do lots of forklift work.” According to Springston, the Gantry cranes he works on can cost anywhere from $75,000 for a used one to more than $3 million for a new crane.

Springston has two regular employees and, if the economy allows, would love to expand more into maintenance agreements for companies. The business presently shares an office building with Encompass at the corner of U.S. Highway 30 and State Highway 127 in Logan.

Logan Herald-Observer October 19, 2011

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.

Wagging their tails instead of their tongues The day has finally arrived. I’m going to purchase one of those day-by-day pillboxes – although not for me – for our dogs. Our black lab and golden retriever, both getting close to celebrating their 10th birthdays, are on more medication than my boyfriend and me put together. Between taking medicine for sluggish thyroids, allergies and joint pain, they need to be enrolled in Medicare. They say people are spending nearly as much on their pets as they do their children. Although I’m not sure this is true, pets can definitely put a dent in the pocketbook, but we’ll do anything to keep them happy and healthy. Since I do most of my work from home, they have become my constant companions. Most of the time the black lab is under my desk with his paw planted on my foot, while the retriever lies directly behind me. Makes it a little tough when I need to get up, but they never complain if I happen to step on them. I can honestly say they are the best co-workers I’ve ever had. They’re always up and ready to go when it’s break or snack time and when I’m on a roll, writing a story, they would never think to interrupt me with the latest gossip. On the down side, conversations are always one-sided and I’ve only had a couple of past co-workers who could slobber as much as my furry friends. Since most of the workday is spent with just the two of them, I’ve become one of those people who ask their pets’ questions or opinions and wait for an answer. As long as I keep passing out treats, they’ll wag their tails in agreement to everything I might say or do. How many co-workers can you find who are that easy to please? For the past five weeks, the retriever has been on restricted duty, since he tore the ligaments in his knee while chasing a dog on the other side of the fence. Just when he’s about to be fully recovered, the black lab developed swimmer’s ear and had to be knocked out to flush out the infection. Even so, they come to the office, just happy to be there and wanting to help out anyway they can. As my co-workers, they don’t have a lot of tasks to complete, but you can be sure those things that are asked of them, they do without complaint. If I’m having a bad day and snap a time or two, they never hold a grudge. They will gladly accommodate sharing my lunch and don’t mind that I’m in charge of the chip bag. If I have three cookies, to their one, they are still appreciative. I’m not saying I don’t miss co-workers, because I do, but I have to wonder how much happier a work place might be if people took a couple lessons from a dog. My life has gone to the dogs – and I couldn’t be happier.

The American Legion The doughboys returned home as part of what writers called the “Lost Generation.” Broken in spirit and body, the veterans understood the obligation they owed to one another, and they still remembered the civilians who had also died in the war. They knew that in a short time, the grateful population would relegate them to the background. People would be too busy to remember the debt they owed. The veterans were determined it wouldn’t happen. Former soldiers met and discussed plans almost as soon as they returned home. Then, they lobbied Congress. The national mood was still so patriotic and grateful that in 1919, Congress chartered a new veterans organization, the American Legion. They soon set to work. One of their first resolutions was to support the Boy Scouts of America, and today, they are the chartering agency for 1,700 scouting units. Within a year, they wrote a proposal that became the Veterans Bureau that later morphed into the Veterans

Administration. Today, the Legion continues to lobby for funding to cover medical, disability, education and other benefits. In 1925, the American Legion created the American Legion baseball program and today about 100,000 young men play on Legion-sponsored teams each year. An estimated 50 percent of their alumni later played in the major leagues. The Legion also helped young people with oratorical contests that are still held in Harrison County. Winners get thousands of dollars in scholarship money. The American Legion also considered helping new veterans as World War II was at its height and the outcome was only becoming certain. Harry W. Colmery, a former commander, wrote in long hand the first draft of what later became the GI Bill of Rights. This legislation is considered the American Legion’s seminal achievement because it contributed to the economic boom and rise of the middle class. Its remnants continue to help generations of

veterans and their families. The American Legion Auxiliary, a powerful organization in its own right, organized Girls State, a companion to Boys State, that gives young people hands on experience in legislation and politics. Both groups also gave the Heart Association its start with a $50,000 grant in 1946. They also helped form the National Association for mental health and the American Legion Child Welfare Foundation. Today, the Legionnaires continue their good work, though demographics makes their task harder each year. Fewer people serve in the military than during the waves of draftees who moved through the system. Many

young veterans have moved away to find jobs. The Legion is looking for new members and plans new activities to pique interest. A Legion event occurred in Little Sioux Sept. 28. The American Legion teaches respect of the American Flag and one of its duties is decommissioning old and tattered flags for disposal. Legionnaires and Auxiliary members gathered together after a potluck supper as a representative said he had inspected the flags and found them to be damaged. The ceremony continued with another Legionnaire ordering the flags be given a proper send off. They started a fire and some Legionnaires and Auxiliary members laid the old flags onto their funeral pyre.

News from the Extension Service

Facts and the 4-H’ers This past couple of weeks I was asked to prepare a few talking points for a national meeting of 4-H specialists in Omaha, Neb. at the end of October. I will be helping with one of several field trips that highlight notable things around our region. I thought I would share a few of these gems in today’s column, so here goes. Loess is the soil parent material that in many ways defines our area. As the ice from the last episode of continental glaciation receded (the Wisconsinan period, ending around 14,000 years ago), gluts of melt water flowed down rivers, filling the Missouri, Platte, Elkhorn, Boyer, etc. valleys with muddy water year after year (summers would be loaded with muddy water; winters would leave bare areas of sediment he wind could pick up. The wind sorted soil particles, and the siltsized stuff started to fall out (like a snowdrift) as the wind lifted out of the valley and had less energy. The well-sorted silt piled up as loess, blanketing the surrounding areas. Because the prevailing winds were from the west, the east side of the

valleys piled up loads of dust. Today, some places very close to the river have up to 200 feet of Wisconsinan loess, hence the name “loess hills” landform. Because of the steep terrain, some of the steepest loess areas were never tilled, leaving the largest remaining areas of undisturbed native vegetation in Iowa. The prairies here are still tall-grass prairies, but because of steep droughty slopes, plants and other organisms mostly found farther west (drier areas) are found here. In some ways, florally, the loess hills represent the Eastern edge of the Great Plains, with yucca (Yucca glauca), cowboy’s delight (Sphalercea coccinea), skeletonweed (Lygodesmia juncea) 9anther Dalea (Dalea ennandra) and other Great Plains plants showing up here. Vincent’s Bluff (Council Bluffs) is the 95th and most recently established state preserve in Iowa. It is unique as a native, untilled prairie surrounded by an urban environment. You can see it as you cross Interstate 80 east into Iowa atop the bluff that rises above the south end of Council Bluffs just north-

Rich Pope Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator east of the southern junction of Interstates 80 and 29. The city of Carter Lake, is surrounded by a former looping channel (an oxbow) of the Missouri River that was cut off from the main river in the 1880’s. Dispute reigned between Iowa and Nebraska over which state owned Carter Lake, and in 1892 the United States Supreme Court held that because the river had avulsed (the land affected was never cut into the river but rather the river just abruptly shifted course) the city of Carter Lake and the land it is on remains as part of Iowa, albeit now as an exclave (land surrounded entirely by another political entityin this case Nebraska). The only way to get to Carter Lake is by boat or through Nebraska. More recently, a similar process positioned

the settlement of Ivy Lane as part of Nebraska on the Iowa side west of Mondamin. Another of the many oxbows that were cut from the river is Lake Manawa that shifted in about 1883. From the 1880’s till the early 1920’s, the area was a well-known resort/amusement area featuring the lake, a-la Coney Island. The Easter Sunday tornado of 1913 took out most of the amusement park structures, and the lake devolved into a mud hole. Dredging and a supply of water from nearby Mosquito Creek has partially restored the lake, and it has repurposed itself again as a state park and recreation area.

Harrison County eligible for assistance The U.S. Department of Agriculture has designated 27 counties in Iowa as natural disaster areas due to losses caused by the combined effects of severe storms, excessive rain, flooding, flash flooding, hail, high winds, lightning, tornadoes, landslides, mudslides, excessive heat and drought that began April 1, and continues. Harrison County is not among those 27, but also qualifies for natural disaster assistance as it is a contiguous county. All counties were designated natural disaster areas Oct. 12 making all qualified farm operators in the designated areas eligible for low interest emergency loans from USDA’s Farm Service Agency provided eligibility requirements are met. Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on

its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of programs in addition to the EM loan program, to help eligible farmers recover from adversity. USDA has also made other programs available to assist farmers and ranchers, including the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program, which

C L I P & S A V E

was approved as part of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008; the Emergency Conservation Program; Federal Crop Insurance and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program. Interested farmers may contact their local USDA Service Centers for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs.

Harrison County Humane Society members pictured with the honor boards are, from the left, John and Jeannette Riley, Missouri Valley; Jim Thiele, Woodbine; Gary Rodewald, Missouri Valley; Helen Rogers, Logan; Jon McElderry, Logan; LuAnn Kahle, Logan. Submitted photo By Nikki Davis Miriam Thiele was a lover of animals, and she wanted that love to live on … and it will through the Harrison County Humane Society after generous donations in her honor. “This is Miriam’s doing this, I’m just the messenger to carry out her wishes,” Jim Thiele, of Woodbine, said. Jim then handed over checks totaling $1,100. “Miriam wanted this to go to the humane society to keep helping the animals in this county,” Jim said as he sat down and took out a small photo album of their pets. He began to tell those attending the HCHS on July 14 meeting each pet’s name and how they became part of the family. The Thiele’s son and daughter-in-law, Bob, and Kathy Thiele, looked on. Jim contacted the HCHS via e-mail prior to the check presentation. The email was one that surprised HCHS

board members. “Paul Fouts had suggested that since Miriam loved animals, why not donate the memorials to the Harrison County Humane Society,” the e-mail stated. It continued with Jim wanting to know if the HCHS did anything in memory of loved ones. The answer was obscure because this was the first time it had happened. Caught off guard, HCHS thought they should start looking into memory boards. Not liking anything they saw, it was suggested to try Gary Rodewald in Missouri Valley who dabbles in woodworking. Rodewald was able to deliver an “In Memorandum” board befitting of the HCHS’ mission, leaving space for cats, dogs – and their humans in the middle. “Instead of ‘In Memory Of,’ call it ‘In Honor Of,’” he said. So the HCHS “Honor Board” was created in order to honor any person or pet.

Because of Miriam’s love and of her gift, her name will be the first to be placed on the Honor Board once it’s complete. “Thank you to Jim and his family,” HCHS Board President LuAnn Kahle said. “Jim, you may have thought you were just the messenger, but you have just as much love for animals as Miriam did. It showed through your tears as you talked about the pets that you and Miriam both loved. And that love is continuing through you … bless you Jim.” If anyone else is interested in making a donation or memorial in honor of a loved one or pet, please contact HCHS through their website www.harrisonhumane.org, or contact LuAnn Kahle at (712) 267-9906. All proceeds go to support the future shelter where the Honor Board will hang and help the HCHS continue to help animals of Harrison County and surrounding areas.

Choose less screen time and more time for family fun Sandra McKinnon, ISU Family Life Program Specialist When adding up the televisions, computers, smartphones, iPads, iPods and portable games systems in an American home these days, “You’re likely to county more screens than rooms,” said Sandra McKinnon, a family life program specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. All those screens add up to ever-increasing screen time for children, McKinnon said. “Typically, children

spend more hours a week with screens than in school. However, we can help our children – and ourselves – spend some time away form those fascinating moving images that can take up so many hours of the day,” McKinnon said. The ISU Extension specialist offers the following tips for choosing less screen time and enjoying more family time. •Get physically active. “Get your children and yourself up and on your feet instead of getting sleepy in the comfy chair or on the couch. Create your own

music and make up your own dance moves. Both you and your children will feel much better after just a few minutes of activity,” McKinnon said. “Physical activity boosts energy and even can make everyone’s brains a little sharper, which can help when it’s homework time.” • Turn chores into family fun time. “Have a laundry folding party on your living room floor. Or, make chores into games. See who can dust his or her side of the room first. The chores will get done faster, and everyone will get to spend

valuable time together. It’s about the time spent together, not how well the chore is completed,” she said. • Create real life adventure. “Create your own TV shows and video games or make a fort, tree-house or tent. Use sheets and balances to cover the dining room table. Bring stuffed animals and books into your fort. You can read together and make up stories,” McKinnon said. Family time is important, and family time away from the screen is very important, the ISU Extension specialist said.

AIB seeks veterans to share stories The search is on for American veterans willing to tell their stories at the third-annual Veterans History Project hosted by The American Institute of Business, Des Moines. On Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11, volunteer college interviewers will ask ques-

tions of American veterans while volunteer court reporters write responses in shorthand on steno machines and volunteer videographers record the conversations. The result is priceless, first-hand accounts of the war-time experiences of

U.S. veterans. The responses will be archived at the Iowa Gold Star Military Museum, Camp Dodge in Johnston and the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. Participating veterans also will receive DVDs and transcribed copies of the interview. Veterans from World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Persian Gulf War and the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts are invited to share their stories. Civilians in supporting war-time roles also may be included in the project. “Last year, we conducted 28 interviews, and hope to do approximately 30

this year,” said retired court reporter Bob Day of Carlisle, who, with his wife Pam, heads the project’s veteran search committee. The Veterans History Project event begins with registration at 8 a.m. on the AIB Campus, 2500 Fleur Dr, Des Moines. In addition to the hour-long interviews, activities are planned for veterans and their families. Rep. Leonard Boswell will speak at an opening ceremony, and the day will conclude with a luncheon. To volunteer to be interviewed, contact AID College of Business by Oct. 14 at 800-444-1921 or mattoonk@aib.edu.

Panthers undefeated after taming Tigers 42-6 Nancy Voggesser For the Herald-Observer The Logan-Magnolia Panthers football team is undefeated (8-0) after taming the Griswold Tigers, 426, Oct. 14. The Panthers began the game on defense, handing the Tigers a three and out after no gain in three downs. Lo-Ma started off on offense with gains by Paul Hutson and Caden McDonald, followed by a 54-yard spring down the right side of the field by Hutson to set up a first and goal situation at the fouryard line. The Panthers fumbled on the snap, however, and gave up the ball, but not the momentum, back to Griswold. Led by Dominic Snyder, the Lo-Ma defense handed the Tigers another three and out to set up their first score of the night. Lo-Ma started on its own 48-yard line. McDonald, Quin Mann and Hutson got the carries for three first downs. With 4:33 left in the

quarter, McDonald fought his way one yard in for the touchdown. Nate Fender’s extra point attempt was good to set the score at 7-0. Hutson, Grant Whisney, Logan Melby, Eric Brosnahan and Hutson got the stops on the next Griswold possession, but despite one first down play, the Tigers were forced to punt the ball. McDonald quickly got into rhythm again, with first down carries. As the game switched into the second quarter, Mann and Hutson got called to carry the ball as well. With 8:39 left in the first half, McDonald broke free on a 10-yard touchdown run. Fender’s kick failed to go through the uprights, and the score stood at 13-0. Snyder, Jordan Muxfeldt and McDonald held the Tigers to another three and out. Starting on their own 34, the Panthers got to work quickly. After two short runs, Hutson fought his way to a 25-yard carry, followed by a 20-yard touchdown run by Mann.

Fender’s kick was good to set the score, with 5:19 left in the half, at 20-0. The Tigers started to show their own abilities with some positive yardage, but stops by Hutson, Chris Bridgeford, Mann, Brosnahan, Melby and Whisney caused enough mayhem to stop Griswold’s forward movement after three first downs. With 36 seconds left in the half, McDonald scored one more time followed by a true Fender kick. The score at the half, Lo-Ma, 27, Griswold, 0, was defended by an interception by Brosnahan with 21 seconds left.

Judy Adair For the Herald-Observer Oct. 11, the Lady Panthers paid tribute to the four senior volleyball players. Isabelle Winchell, Kaitlyn Gochenour, Shelby Marquardt and Jocelyn Camenzind were honored before the varsity game against the Whiting Warriors. Each senior has been a member of the Panther volleyball team since they were freshmen and have been valuable leaders. “Our seniors have been an important part of our team for the last four years,” said coach Jacob Hedger. “They all have shown great dedication and leadership throughout the years. It was a pleasure to coach them.” In game one against the Warriors, the Panthers took the early lead. With good serving from senior Camenzind, who went 15-for-15, the Panthers got the win over the Warriors, 25-14. The Panthers won game two, 25-15 and game three 25-12, sealing the

victory for Lo-Ma. Shelby Marquardt led the team in kills with eight. She also had nine digs and four blocks on the night. Courtney Oviatt was 20for-21 from the serving line while Maysen Jones had five kills and three blocks for the Panthers. Other action for the Panthers took place Oct. 6, when they played host to the West Monona Spartans. At the beginning of game one, it looked as if the Panthers were going to cruise to a victory. Strong serving from Camenzind allowed the Panthers to take an early 8-1 lead. West Monona battled back to bring the score within one, 13-12. With the score see-sawing back and forth, the Panthers pulled out the win 25-22. In game two, Lo-Ma found itself down 14-11. After a Panther time out, Camenzind and Marquardt combined to put together a solid serving performance and helped pull out the 27-25 win. Lo-Ma defeated West Monona in game three 25-15 to win the match in three games. Marquardt led the

team in kills with 11 and digs with five. Jones had eight kills on the night and Emily Dickinson, seven. The Panther’s next battle took them to Dunlap Oct. 13, to play the Boyer Valley Bulldogs. On paper, the teams matched up very evenly and it showed on the court. In game one, the Bulldogs jumped to an early lead and handed the Panthers a 25-15 loss. Game two was as close as they come as Boyer Valley fell to LoMa 25-23. The Panthers continued to have the advantage in game three as the Bulldogs fell behind and weren’t able to close the five-point gap, falling 25-20. The Bulldogs came out strong in game four and were able to tie the contest up, two games each, with a score of 25-20. In the fifth and final game of the night, the Panthers ran out of steam. The Bulldogs ended the game by defeating the Panthers 15-3, taking the night’s match in five games. Regional play began Oct. 18 at home.
