Possible application for design program discussed by city council ‘

Mary Darling Editor

The possible application for the community design program sponsored by the Iowa Architectural Foundation was discussed at length at the Oct. 4 Logan City Council meeting. A concern the council had was that if they applied, they would not be as far along as they need to be at this time. They will get additional information from Renea Anderson of

Harrison County Development Corporation, who initially spoke to the council about the program.

City administrator Nedra Fliehe told the council that out of more than 200 letters sent out to residents to trim their trees, the city had to hire trimming services for only 20 residents that did not comply with the request to have them trimmed by Sept. 15 and Oct. 1. Top Notch Trimming and Rod Meeker Tree Service are doing the work for the city.

No one attended the public hearing that evening to approve the CDBG retention pond and ditch project. The council approved the project and stated the city was grateful to Southwest Iowa Planning Council for all its help.

City attorney Joe Lauterbach was present when the council went into closed session to discuss a matter presently in litigation. When the council returned the open session, a motion was made to allow the city administrator to

consult with the city attorney on pending litigation.

Fliehe was honored at the SWIPCO meeting Sept.

30 for 30 years of service as a city clerk/administrator.

The city received a bid from Doug Johnsen Construction for work on three storm sewers on U.S. Highway 30. Fliehe was going to talk with the Iowa Department of Transportation and see if the sewers could be repaired one at a time instead of all at once. Fliehe said it would be financially

A mammogram and an ultra sound completed on the same day showed what the doctor thought was just fluid. Two weeks later when she went back to have it aspirated, the doctor wasn’t able to.

McGrew, then 46, went in for a biopsy two weeks later.

Persia Fire and Rescue marks 100 years Mike Brownlee For the Herald-Observer Not a bad 100th year.

As Persia Fire and Rescue hits the century mark this year, the volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians have settled into a brand-new building shedding their old, worn and cramped digs for a facility that includes much more space.

“It’s nice to have more room to walk around,”

impossible for the city to do all three this year.

Two bids were received for winterization of the pool and the city is waiting for one more. They are also waiting on warranty repairs to be completed on the heater and a pump.

Building permits were approved for Roger Seeley, 126 E. 10th St., fence and bathroom addition; Hartwig Investments, LLC, 123 E. Ninth St., footings and replace deck, pillars, ceiling and railing on front porch.

Persia Fire Chief Mark Carrigan said. “Everything was packed tight in the old hall.”

The new fire hall was much needed for a crew that serves the small Harrison County town in a number of ways. In addition to putting out fires, rushing people to the hospital and rescuing cats from trees, members of Persia Fire and Rescue are also

Dealing with the 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak was a hectic time for Harrison County Public Health last year, director Nicole Carritt reported at the Sept. 23 Board of Supervisors meeting.

The office coordinated all of the vaccine ordering, shipping, allocations and inventory for Harrison County, with a total of 3,800 doses of H1N1 received.

The agency provided 2,136 of these doses to the public through mass public vaccination clinics with the remaining 1,664 doses distributed to the four Alegent Health clinics, Community Memorial Hospital and the Burgess, Dunlap clinic. The state received a little more than 1.2 million doses for allocation to public health agencies.

According to Carritt, the county began its response to the event early in 2009 with members of Harrison County Home and Public Health systems in Harrison County and Harrison County Emergency Management monitoring events nationally, statewide and locally.

“As local H1N1 activity began to increase, planning meetings were held to coordinate Harrison County’s response,” Carritt said.

“The response to H1N1 was agency-wide and required cooperation from all staff to assist with public meetings, staffing clinics or keeping the office open while the majority of the staff were manning mass public clinics. Overall, the H1N1 response in Harrison County was a success.”

The department is gearing up again for flu season with 1,200 doses available for adults and 500 for children.

Carritt told the board the Home Health program is the largest program in her department at the present time. In fiscal year 2010 the department completed 2,851 home care aide visits for a total of 2,691.75 hours.

MCGREW: Breast cancer survivor PUBLIC HEALTH: Busy office FROM PAGE 1 go home the same day and get on with my life,” she said.

But when she woke up, she found out it was a stage two cancer with the lump and 20 lymph nodes removed.

According to McGrew, it was a fast growing cancer.

“From the time I first found it to the surgery, it had grown from quarter size to golf ball size,” she said.

“Cancer was found in nine of the 20 lymph nodes,” McGrew said. “It was shocking,” she said of the cancer diagnosis. “My cousin had gone through it three months before. You just don’t stop and think it could happen to you.”

McGrew was in the hospital for three days. Soon after she began four rounds of intense chemotherapy sessions, followed by 99 radiation treatments – three doses every day five days a week.

“You ask why and then put your faith in God, that’s for sure,” she said.

At the time, her children at home were in eighth grade, first grade and age 4.

According to McGrew, it was tough on the kids.

“My aunt had recently died of cancer, so all they knew about it was death.

My oncologist gave me a book called ‘Mommy has Cancer,’ and that helped them understand,” McGrew said.

She also credited her neighbor for getting her through her recovery.

“If it hadn’t been for Jane Michael, I don’t know what I would have done,” McGrew said. “She helped a lot.”

McGrew said the chemotherapy treatments were pretty tough.

“I lost my hair. We were at the Illinois state fair with my in-laws when it was falling out. My fatherin-law went ahead and shaved my head.”

McGrew said she had no energy and didn’t work the entire time she was undergoing treatment.

“My husband took off work to drive me to treatments in Omaha,” she said.

Besides losing her hair, McGrew said she lost teeth and her veins were shot.

“It takes a toll on the body overall,” she said.

In 2009, after her cousin was diagnosed with breast

cancer for the second time, McGrew made the decision of having her breasts removed that June.

“I did it as a precautionary measure. My cousin’s cancer came back and the odds weren’t very good for her,” McGrew said.

Then in December she had reconstructive surgery.

It’s been a long year for her.

“I’m going to have the implants removed in December,” McGrew said.

“My body just isn’t adjusting to them.”

McGrew said she has her energy back and for the past two years has been working in the LoganMagnolia school lunchroom. She makes sure her daughters have regular checks now and urges all women to have a yearly mammogram.

She also took part in the Susan G. Komen “Race for the Cure” Oct. 3 in Omaha, as a member of the Harrison County Cure Crusaders along with daughters Chanda, Ellen and her granddaughter.

This was the second year in a row for her to participate in the event.

“It’s a great experience,” McGrew said.

FROM PAGE 1 “A home health nurse is available 24 hours per day/seven days a week to meet the needs of the current clientele and to accept referrals for new clients,” Carritt said.

There are currently 24 different programs running out of the Harrison County Public Health office including: home health skilled nursing services; family planning; maternal health; community education and outreach; blood pressure

screenings; emergency planning and preparedness; Learning for Life; Bright Beginnings; child and adult immunizations; influenza immunizations; lead poisoning prevention; child passenger safety; tobacco prevention and control; child health; Hawk-I and hair follicle drug testing among others.

Carritt said they are presently working on a community health needs assessment for the county.

According to Carritt, after the needs are identified in

the county, the next step is creating a health improvement plan.

“This is where we determine what goals and activities we will focus on as a county to combat some of our identified health priorities,” Carritt said. “We will hold this stakeholder meeting later in October. The plan that is developed will look to addressing the health priorities over the next five years, all the while making adjustments as the programs or services change over that time period.”

PERSIA FIRE: Marking 100 years FROM PAGE 1 severe weather spotters for the area.

With more space, the department will be able to hold EMT training classes in the near future, Carrigan said.

“We hope to get a few more EMTs,” he said, adding the majority of the calls that come into the office are for ambulance transport.

In addition to the new building, a brand-new sign trumpeting the fire hall was donated to the city by Dan and Peggy Manhart.

Dan has been an EMT for 20 years and is also the treasurer of Persia Fire and Rescue Inc., the fundraising arm of the town’s emergency services department.

Peggy is in charge of public relations for the department.

To pay for the sign, the couple, from nearby Neola, used leftover money from a memorial account for their daughter, Melissa, who died at the age of 16 in a traffic accident in 2000.

“Our daughter always

helped out at fundraisers and events. It’s something we wanted to put in memory of her,” Dan said. “It’s something to remember her by.”

Dan and Peggy help the department raise funds through three, once-a-year events. A breakfast buffet in February, a tractor pull in August and a demolition derby in September.

“These firefighters, they donate all their time to the department and then they’re out there with fundraisers helping out,” Peggy said.

Volunteer fire and rescue workers are a necessity in the small towns scattered across southwest Iowa.

“In these small towns, it’s getting hard and harder to find people to help,” Dan said.

In Persia, as local businesses have dwindled and more and more residents work out of town, having personnel ready to respond during weekdays has become a problem.

“During the day, it’s tough to even have an EMT around,” Carrigan said.

But the volunteers in Persia persevere.

“It’s tough,” Carrigan said, speaking on behalf of his Persia staff and, really, for all fire and rescue volunteers. “There are a lot of people in the community who depend on the stuff we do.”

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.

That’s what I’m talking about As soon as I said my eye was twitching everyone at the table moaned as if it were the plague. Not because eye twitching is a terrible thing – but because they understood the implications – and asked if I needed to talk about it.

Stress, in our family, comes in the form of eye twitching, neck rashes and excessive non-sensible talking.

After my sister and I and our three daughters shared eye-twitching episodes we moved on to discuss everything – from life to death to what was the most fattening choice on the menu. Sometimes we all talk at once, sometimes we take turns – but one thing for sure – it’s constant.

Not that long ago my sister and I were listening to our mom, her sister and grandma talk about these same life issues. It’s an inherited trait – we have the gift of gab.

I realize it’s difficult for guys to understand since they don’t normally call their brother to ask how the new shoes are fitting or call dad to ask if he thinks its OK to wear white dress pants after Labor Day. Besides, a guy can say everything he needs to in one sentence, while a woman needs at least four paragraphs.

Sometimes after the five of us girls have been together all evening we can still manage to think of things we forgot to say and have to call after we get home. You know, important things like “did you think the waitress was rude?” or “I think I’m going to wear my new boots to work tomorrow.”

When guys call each other and ask how things are going they expect a generic response of a simple “good” whether it is or not. Women need 30 minutes to describe how good life is or to detail how crummy things are and can say the same thing 20 different ways until it begins to make sense.

I know I’ve talked too long if my boyfriend’s eyes cloud over and he begins to nod in agreement whether the conversation calls for it or not. He’s too polite to tell me that he could care less about the new recipes I found or how I’m going to create a fall wreathe – so he sits patiently and waits for it to be over – unless he can fix or resolve my issue in less than 10 minutes.

It’s a good balance I have with the people in my life.

When I want to talk in circle I visit with dad, if I need a long-winded conversation about everything and sometimes about nothing, I call my sister or one of my daughters. When I want to know the truth of the matter, I talk with the man in my life that can fix everything from a broken nail to a broken heart – as long as it can be done during half-time.

When all else fails I talk to myself and that’s when the eye twitching starts.

Boredom in Harrison County Many immigrants worked together to create a modern society in an erstwhile wilderness. They came from different countries and backgrounds, but a trait they shared in common was the desire to improve their lives and also the new society where they made their homes. One such man was Thomas M. C. Logan, an intelligent man who hated boredom.

Thomas enjoyed a comfortable early childhood in Indiana. His father was a prosperous business man who traveled a lot but found time to be with his family. The family’s fortunes crashed in 1834 when Thomas was four. His father was conducting business in Cincinnati, Ohio during a cholera epidemic, and though he planned to go home as soon as possible, he sickened and died.

However, Logan’s family’s more limited resources were still sufficient for an education.

Logan saved his money and in 1857, he started his first livestock and grain business. He was successful and decided as many others did, that his future was farther west. He moved progressively from Illinois to

Cedar Rapids and to Logan in 1877.

Thomas was brighter than normal, and he seemed easily bored. He needed a challenge. Once again, he started a live stock and grain trading business, and as before, the enterprise thrived. Thomas seemed to enjoy the challenge of creating businesses from scratch, but once they were established, the thrill was gone and he longed to start over again. Without realizing it, Thomas’ tendency to be easily bored influenced the county as he built a network of businesses which laid the ground work for similar operations in the next century.

As his business in Logan felt more stultifying, it wasn’t long before Logan moved to River Sioux to begin again. As before, he prospered, and by 1889, his company shipped 200,000 bushels of grain from River Sioux and another operation in Blencoe. Perhaps Thomas had decided it was time to settle down, but he could not stop himself from creating new businesses. A flour mill in River Sioux soon reached a capacity of 60 barrels a day. As farmers’ grain flowed in, Logan saw anoth-

er opportunity. More prairie land was being changed to farm ground, and the added grain threatened to overwhelm existing facilities.

The logical choice was a grain elevator which Logan built in River Sioux. It had a capacity of 10,000 bushels and earned Logan enough money that he started another in Onawa. Farmers came to depend on both elevators and they were the progenitors of cooperative elevators in the 20th Century. Thomas was a voracious reader and had definite opinions on how the government should be run. After his business enterprises gave him a comfortable financial base, he turned his attention to politics.

In 1891, he was elected to the Harrison County Board of Supervisors. His main issues were education and

temperance. At the time, the county budget was in such dire straights, county warrants were at 20 to 25 percent discount. Through his and others persistent efforts, the debt was bonded and the county’s credit rating improved. The leaders efforts saved Harrison County thousands of dollars. Logan’s success also propelled him into the state legislature.

Mr. Logan was well read and felt driven to learn all he could which he then applied to his businesses and private life. His contemporaries knew he was something special. The author of an 1891 Harrison County history observed that “not infrequently do you hear the remark that certainly one can learn more from Mr. Logan in one evening than from many others in a lifetime.”

News from the Extension Service

The gift of a childhood friend Pleasant fall days bring me fond memories of Rosie McGivern. A few years ago at a training session I attended, we were asked to share who it was who first gave us an interest in plants and growing things, and for me it was Rosie. She was the live-in great aunt of neighborhood friends when I was growing up and had a kind demeanor, and was liked by all the kids. But I remember the long row of 4-o’clocks that she grew each year along the driveway and one fall she set me gathering seed for next year’s planting all the while explaining the cycle of life (actually it may have been mostly a way to occupy a curious and active 6-year old for awhile, but just the same…). But for me to this day, it is now “Rosie” season. I credit her with helping me see the happiness and challenges of helping things grow.

People today can still

emulate my mentor by saving a bit of seed or overwhelming a few plants.

Many flowers and other ornamentals have been bred up by breeders, with some incapable of bearing fertile seed. Even those that do bear seed will produce plants with different traits than the parent. But there still remain old “open pollinated” types that set viable seed and can be saved overwinter. There is something about providing nature with an assist to conquer the cold of winter that can be fulfilling. If you have never overwintered seeds, here are a few good bets for success: 4-o’clocks: The plants are about two to three feet tall and fill the summer with various brightly colored flowers. Each flower produces a seed that is black when mature, and can be easily picked from the annual plants. Easy to find, painless to pick and

Rich Pope Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator generally pretty successful growing the coming year.

Moss rose (portulaca): This is an annual, low growing succulent that is great in beds where a carpet of red, pink, while and yellow showy flowers is desired. The seeds are formed in capsules that dehisce (come apart) like a candy dish lid. Each capsule contains many tiny black seeds.

Snapdragons: Another popular annual that develops seed pods along the stem, containing dry brown seeds at maturity. Harvest the seed when the pods are

just starting to open on their own, but remember the pods ripen sequentially, so there are likely some ready now.

While I am talking, some adventurous folks may want to try looking for perennial plant seed and experimenting with that.

Last week I noticed that the peonies outside of my house had managed to set seed. The pods are at the top where the flowers were and are now brown to black and in three parts. Within a See EXTENSION Page 6

Letter to the Editor Importance of mammograms Dear Editor, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month; thus the importance of this article.

At the end of this month I will complete a year of treatment for breast cancer.

I can’t stress enough the importance of getting a mammogram and doing monthly breast examinations. In May 2009 I had a digital mammogram that

reflected calcification in one of my breasts and four months later I found I had a malignant tumor that had grown to 2.2 centimeters.

In the days and weeks to follow I went through a barrage of tests, a biopsy and ultimately a lumpectomy. In November I began a treatment protocol that would involve chemotherapy, radiation and a weekly infusion that would aggressively attack the fast growing breast cancer that I had. I have been able to take all

my chemo and weekly infusions of Herceptin at Community Memorial. I am so very grateful for the wonderful hospital staff and doctors at Community Memorial and for the extraordinary care, concern and friendship that have extended to me in so many ways. To all of you at the hospital, to the area churches, to my family and other friends, thank you from the bottom of my heart for praying, supporting, loving and encouraging my family.

God met our needs and strengthened us through all of you; for that we are most grateful.

Please don’t put off a mammogram; it can save your life. Early detection really is the best prevention.

Community Memorial has recently obtained a digital mammography machine – take advantage of it and the professional staff to take care of your healthcare needs.

When Investing, Don’t Stop at U.S. Border In less than two weeks, United Nations Day will be celebrated. It’s an occasion to highlight and reflect on the work of the United Nations, whose mission is to promote understanding and cooperation among the world’s countries. Of course, in an era of instantaneous communications and speedy global travel, we are all connected much more closely than ever before. And that’s certainly true in the financial markets, too, because as an investor, you’ve got a world full of opportunities.

Many people, however, still think the U.S. totally dominates the investment scene. But the fact is that U.S. stock markets make up less than half of the total global stock market value, according to the Census Bureau. And that should come as no surprise to you when you consider many of the products you use on a daily basis, from the Hyundai (South Korea) you drove to work to the Nestle Crunch bar (parent company in Switzerland) you snacked on at lunch to the Sony television (Japan) you watch at night.

Not only are many strong companies based in the developed countries, but some emerging markets — countries such as China, India, Brazil and Mexico that are characterized by younger, lessmature economies — are growing rapidly, which may produce good investment opportunities. Keep in mind, though, that emerging markets do involve investment

risks different from those of more developed countries.

Securities may be less liquid and more volatile because economic structures are generally less diverse and mature.

And by investing internationally, you can gain another key benefit — improved diversification. If you only invested domestically, and a downturn hits us, your portfolio will likely take a hit. But, at any given time, international markets may perform quite differently than the U.S. market.

Consequently, if you expanded your investment horizon beyond U.S. borders, your foreign investments could be doing relatively well, even if your American investments were lagging. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee profits or protect against loss, though it may be able to help reduce the effects of volatility.

While you can gain some benefits by investing internationally, you’ll also need to consider the risks, such as political risk. For example, new governments can come in, nationalize companies, drastically change policies or rules affecting commerce, or take other actions that could have a big effect on your investments. You might also encounter currency risk — that is, changes in the value of the U.S. dollar, relative to foreign currencies, could nega-

tively affect the value of your investments. Another factor to consider is the difference in accounting standards between the U.S. and other countries, a difference that can result in difficulty analyzing the true value and performance of foreign investments.

You can enhance your portfolio's diversification without investing a lot abroad. If you are considering international investments you may want to limit the foreign exposure to no more than 20 to 25 percent of your overall portfolio, with the exact amount depending on your individual risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals. Also, given the more complex issues involved in international investing, you’ll want to consult with a professional financial advisor before taking action.

But once you’ve done your “due diligence,” don’t be afraid to launch your voyage to the world of international investing.

Harrison County Fliehe earns award Named to Dean’s List at Buena Vista Forestry Field Day

Nature Tots learn about leaves at HCCB program

Local food, sustainable food and traditional food systems: Where does food come from and does it matter?: This question is the focus for Current Issues in Nutrition, a two-part online conference beginning Oct. 18 from Iowa State University Extension.

Media and government attention to local, sustainable and traditional food systems has prompted discussions among policy makers, environmentalists and healthcare providers, said Sarah L. Francis, an ISU Extension nutrition specialist and assistant professor in Iowa State’s Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition. Discussions often center on perceived benefits and risks related to health, economics and environment and as well as how these systems might work together.

“This conference will focus on the social and economic perspectives of what really are three complementary food systems,” Francis said.

The conference starts with archived presentations that registered participants can view online at anytime beginning Oct. 18. The conference concludes with a live Webcast question and answer session, from noon to 1:30 p.m., Nov. 18.

Register online at www.cepd.iastate.edu/cin.

The registration fee is $35 per person.

Registered participants will be e-mailed instructions for viewing the online presentations and participating in the live question and answer session.

Featured speakers are Alison Harmon and John Lawrence. Harmon is an associate professor in the Department of Health and Human Development at Montana State University.

Lawrence is the director of ISU Extension to Agriculture and Natural Resources and associate dean for extension programs and outreach in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

EXTENSION COLUMN: Richard Pope FROM PAGE 1 few of these pods were some round buckshot sized seeds that I have harvested and will start in the late winter indoors. I have a place that I can play with plantings outside, and I plan on trying to start peonies from seed out there.

Another fun one that I know works is cannas.

Cannas are very showy, tall flowers that grow from underground stems called rhizomes. They are native to the tropics, so the rhizomes must be dug for overwintering (by-the-way, I am told that cannas are quite edible, like potatoes, but I have not had them to try them as a food source.)

The canna seed is ¼ -inch diameter round balls, and before they germinate, it is best to file a notch in the seed coat to allow water to enter. I have germinated cannas, and they grew quite easily. But remember, what you get from them might be quite different in foliage and flower than the parents, depending on the genes that matched up at pollination. Again, if you have some extra room, it might be fun to try.

My final thoughts is that there is an organization to preserve many old-fashioned varieties that our grandparents and before enjoyed called the Seed Savers Exchange. They are

based in Decorah, Iowa and have been in existence since 1975. If for nothing else but fun on a cold winter day, go to the Seed Savers Exchange site at www.seedsavers.org and look at the catalog of “heir-

loom” varieties of plants.

As an example, a friend of mind grows several tomato varieties each year, and the diversity of flavors is stunning compared with commercial tomatoes available today. So think of my old

friend Rosie and save some seed (or get an heirloom variety) for fun this fall.

Lo-Ma sweeps Nishnabotna VB tourney Judy Adair For the Herald-Observer Former Buffalo Bills coach Marv Levy once commented, “It feels great to win.” On Oct. 9 the Lady Panthers felt great after both junior varsity and varsity volleyball teams won their respective classes in the Nishnabotna Tournament in Farragut.

In the varsity class, only three teams competed – Logan-Magnolia, Nishnabotna and Stanton.

This very small, but very talented field would make for an exciting day. The Panthers first opponent was the Nishnabotna Blue Devils. The Blue Devils would bring in a slightly better winning percentage than the Panthers and it was expected the two teams would match up well. Game one started with Lo-Ma jumping off to an early lead and never facing a serious challenge from Nishnabotna as the Panthers won 25-13. The Panthers opened game two with as solid play as they have played all season. Lo-

Ma totally dominated game two, as the final score was 25-6. In game three, Nishnabotna showed some spark and kept the game close until late, but didn’t have enough gas in the tank to keep pace with the Lady Panthers, as the final score was 25-18.

Next to take the court against Lo-Ma was the class one sixth ranked Stanton Viqueens led by one of Western Iowa’s most versatile athletes Kadie Subbert.

In game one, the Viqueens and Panthers traded volleys and kills with Lo-Ma performing slightly better as game one ended with a Panthers win 25-19. The second game saw Lo-Ma frustrating Stanton as the Panthers showed solid performances on both offense and defense. Lo-Ma took game two 25-15. The Panthers would learn why in game three the Viqueens are ranked in Class 1. LoMa and Stanton battled back and forth throughout as the game came down to the final points. Lo-Ma squeaked out a victory in game three winning 26-24, winning the tournament.

“Defensively we played very well,” said coach Jacob Hedger. “We didn’t make a lot of mistakes and we were very aggressive at the net. Everyone did a great job.”

Audrina Dickman ended the day with serving perfection going 32-for-32.

Abby Foutch added 48 assists and the trio of Shelby Marquardt, Kelsey Frisk and Karen Hutson combined on the day for 43 kills, 29 blocks and 27 digs. Kylee Loftus added 6 kills and 8 blocks during her rotation.

The Lo-Ma junior varsity decided they didn’t want to be outdone by their varsity counterparts. A field of six teams took part in the junior varsity division broken up into two pools. The Panthers started play in Pool 2 facing the Nishnabotna white team.

Lo-Ma won its first match by sweeping both games from the white team 21-19 and 21-14. Getting help from good back row play from Emily Clark, Cheyenne Jensen, Isabelle Winchell and Kaitlyn Gochenour was key in

Members of the winning junior varsity volleyball team include, in front from the left, Jocelyn Camenzind, Courtney Oviatt, Amelia Klein, Kaitlyn Gochenour; in back coach Judy Adair, Emily Clark, Maysen Jones, Cheyenne Jensen, Emily Dickinson, Kia Fender and Isabell Winchell.

Next up for Lo-Ma was the Freemont Mills white team. Lo-Ma had little trouble dispatching the Fremont Mills team winning both games 21-13 and 21-16. Excellent net play from Kia Fender, Maysen Jones and Amelia Klein helped Lo-Ma win the victory.

Coming out as the winner of Pool 2, Lo-Ma would pace Pool 1 winner

Fremont Mills black. The young Panthers built an early lead in game one, winning 25-13. Game two was a little tighter as Fremont stayed in contention until serves by Jocelyn Camenzind put the game away with Lo-Ma winning 25-21. In game three, Lo-Ma opened an early lead and defeated Fremont Mills 25-14.

Strong serving by Camenzind, Courtney Oviatt and Emily

Dickinson kept the Panthers on top of their opponents all day. The junior varsity team rolled through its tournament without a loss making this their second tournament win in a row.

“I am very proud of these girls. This is the time of year you want your team to peak and getting backto-back tournament wins is proof that is exactly what they are doing,” Hedger said.

Neighborhood network grants Lo-Ma JV volleyball team wins home tourney The Logan-Magnolia junior varsity volleyball team didn’t have to travel too far to win its first tournament of the season. For the first time in several years, the junior varsity won the Lo-Ma Panther volleyball invitational.

Teams participating included Logan-Magnolia, Woodbine, ElkhornKimballton, West Harrison, Missouri Valley and Charter Oak-Ute. The teams were split into two pools. In the gold pool was Lo-Ma, Woodbine and Elkhorn-Kimballton.

The purple pool was West Harrison, Missouri Valley and COU. In their first game the Panthers met Woodbine.

Woodbine started the day early winning both games against Lo-Ma 23-21 and 21-17, putting the Panthers down one match. Not to be deterred, the lady’s from Lo-Ma met Elkhorn-Kimballton next.

Behind strong serving from Courtney Oviatt and good net play from Kia Fender and Jocelyn Camenzind, Lo-Ma handily defeated ElkhornKimballton 21-12 in game one and 21-10 in game two. With a record of 1 and 1, Lo-Ma entered bracket play against West Harrison defeating the Hawkeyes in two games, 21-19 and 21-16.

Arguably the best play of the tournament happened during game two as Camenzind was able to perform a dig with her back to the net, setting up a kill by Fender that kept Lo-Ma in the lead.

Next up for the Panthers were the Bobcats from Charter-Oak-Ute. Game one saw a battle back and forth with LoMa squeaking out a victory 22-20. The second game was all Lo-Ma as the Panthers defeated the Bobcats 21-12. After dis-

patching the Bobcats the day came full circle as LoMa would play Woodbine in the championship match. As game one progressed, there were several extended volleys that went in favor of Lo-Ma. The game ended on a kill from Lo-Ma’s Fender and the Panthers winning 2115. Game two continued the excitement as the scoring went back and forth. Lo-Ma sealed the win on a tip over the net

by Mayson Jones, ending the game with a 22-20 victory and securing the tournament championship.

Playing for the Panthers this day were Jones, Camenzind, Fender, Oviatt, Amelia Klein, Emily Dickinson, Cheyenne Jensen, Kaitlyn Gochenour and Emily Clark.

All-tournament selections from Lo-Ma included Courtney Oviatt and Emily Dickinson.

Panthers ground Underwood Eagles 62-7 Nancy Voggesser For the Herald-Observer The Lo-Ma football team was able to capitalize nine times on each of the varsity’s nine offensive possessions, a 100 percent record, in the 62-7 win over Underwood Oct. 8.

The Underwood Eagles started off the game on offense and it looked like they were ready to give the Panthers a good game.

Despite some good hits by Dominic Snyder, Dillon Miller, Troy Sodders and Nate Morton, Underwood was able to move easily down field until they hit the red zone where they stalled out. The Eagles’ field goal attempt on fourth and eight went wide right, to give the Panthers the ball on the 20-yard line.

The Panthers struck early on a 30-yard pass play from Nate Fender to Evan Mikels. With the ball at true midfield, Fender handed the ball off to Marrick Loftus who outraced the defense to make it into the end zone with 8:38 left in the first quarter. Levi Ettleman’s kick was good to make the early score, Panthers 7-Eagles 0.

The Panther defense that fans know and love showed up on the second Underwood possession.

Morton and Mikels combined for loss of yardage tackles and Caden McDonald opted through for a sack to encourage the Eagles to punt the ball back to the Panthers.

Nate Fender returned the ball to the Eagles 24 yard line to give the Panthers excellent field position. Despite a fumble, recovered by Ettleman on the 11, and another fumble, recovered by Miller on the 11, the Panthers were able to regroup on a pass from Fender to Mikels for an 11-yard touchdown.

Ettelman’s kick was good with 4:25 left in the first quarter to increase the margin 14-0.

Underwood’s next

attempt was foiled by Mikels who recovered a fumble to put the Panthers back on offense. Although Loftus was backed up early, Zach Hatcher got the next call and took the ball to the Eagles’ 20-yard line.

Loftus was able to sweep left a couple plays later to sweep left for a 5-yard touchdown run. Ettleman’s kick with 1:26 left in the first quarter brought the score to 21-0.

The Eagles offense met up with Mikels, Miller, Travis Jones and Paul Hutson in their next series, which resulted in little gain for them. With a first down achieved, the Eagles chose to attempt a pass, but Mikels easily tipped it incomplete. The defensive line then swarmed the runner, led by Ben Kill and the Eagles were forced to punt.

The Eagles’ punt did not end up with a good Homecoming result, however, as Quin Mann returned the punt all the way into the end zone with 10:32 left in the second quarter. Ettelman’s kick was good to make the score lopsided in favor of the Panthers 28-0.

The Panthers then kicked off the ball, which went out of bounds, so Ettleman was forced to rekick. This time he tried an on-side kick, which the Eagles fumbled and was recovered by the Panthers.

From midfield, the Panthers kept the ball on the ground and ran their way consistently downfield, where, with 8:41 left in the second quarter, Mikels powered through on a 4-yard touch down run.

Ettleman’s kick ensured that the clock would run during the second half of play.

The Panthers kicked off again. The Eagles fumbled again. This time Sodders covered the ball. Fender spread the ball around to all available runners and even connected with Ettleman for a first down on the Eagles’ 16-yard line, to show the Underwood fans they weren’t backing down. With 5:51 left in the

The defense shut down Underwood on the ground and in the air. Travis Jones, Paul Hutson and Dominic Snyder bring down the Underwood ball carrier to end another scoring opportunity.

Photo: Angela Winther half, Snyder was successful on a one-yard touch down run. This time Ettleman’s kick went wide right to set the score at 41-0.

The Panthers weren’t done yet for the half, however, as the defense held the Eagles to short yardage, forcing a punt downed at the Panther 5yard line. The Panthers weren’t to be held in their own territory for long, though, and with 48 seconds left in the half, Zach Hatcher broke free on a 28yard touch down run.

Ettleman’s kick ended scoring for the quarter at 48-0.

One of the problems with being so prolific in the first half means the clock runs in the second half. While that seems to be a good thing, being so prolific in so many games means the Panther varsity players don’t get to play full games. Coach Straight chose to keep his varsity in throughout the third quarter to give them a bit more game time in preparation for the rest of the season.

Center, Ben Kill, hands the ball off to quarterback Nate Fender in a lopsided showdown between the Panthers and the Underwood Eagles.

Photo: Angela Winther Lo-Ma started off on offense, moving as easily as they did in the first quarter. With 7:44 left in the third quarter, Mikels sprinted for a 36-yard touch down run.

Ettleman’s kick was good to set the score at 55-0.

Underwood finally got on the scoreboard on its next possession completing a pass into the end

zone. Their kick was good with 5:13 left in the third quarter, to put their first and final seven on the scoreboard.

The Panthers turned around and capitalized on the runs of Hutson and McDonald. Six seconds into the fourth quarter, Hutson broke free on a 5yard touch down run.

Ettleman’s kick was good

to end the scoring at 62-7 for the night.

The Panther junior varsity got some muchyearned for game time experience in the rest of the game. Although neither team scored again, the junior varsity showed they could keep up with the Underwood starters, a good sign for the rest of the season and future.

Cross country competes in Woodbine, Atlantic invitationals Taylor Olsen For the Herald-Observer Oct. 4, the Lo-Ma cross country team ran in the Woodbine Invitational at the Shadow Valley golf course. The varsity boys placed second, 10 points behind Missouri Valley.

Final standings were: Missouri Valley, 80; Lo-Ma, 90; Tri-Center, 110; Woodbine, 118; Riverside, 127; Treynor, 130; Boyer Valley, 147; Audubon, 177; Underwood, 180. The top 20 individuals medaled with Lo-Ma having three receiving medals. Ellis Johnson, 13th in 20:02, E.J. Darnell, 15th in 20:16 and Joel Pixley, 17th in 20:20.

Alex Skeen just missed medaling by placing 21st in 20:37. Following Skeen was Grady Killpack, 24th in 20:52, Wyatt Schultz, 27th in 21:03 and Braden Rosengren, 37th in 21:26.

“The boys all competed well today on a very tough course,” said coach Pam Olsen. “The first 300 yards of the race is straight uphill and is very challenging and they did a great job of getting out in front early. Our conference meet is held here next Saturday so they got a good feel for the course. Alex Skeen ran one of his best races this year.”

The girls team had two medalists, Karen Holcomb

in 18th place at 18:17 and Haley Whisney, 19th in 18:19. Alexa Meeker was 45th in 20:27 and Jacque DeWitt, 48th in 20:46.

“The girls continue to work hard and really push each other in the meets and practice to lower their times,” Olsen said.

Tri-Center won the girls’ with 36 points, followed by Missouri Valley, 88, Underwood, 95, Woodbine 107, Treynor, 118, Audubon, 129, and Boyer Valley, 201.

The junior varsity boys were first place with 25 points. Tommy Peterson was first in 21:45, Daniel Cox, second in 21:51, Adam Thompson third in 22:57, Ridge Meeker, fourth in 23:05, Alex Fanning, sixth in 23:48 and Owen Pitt, seventh in 24:26.

In the junior high races’ there were 25 boys competing with Justin Thomas leading the Panthers in third place in 13:24. Brett Rosengren was ninth in 14:03, Andrew Walski, 21st in 16:20 and Gage Killpack, 22nd in 16:39. In the girls’ race, there were 31 competitors with Victoria Johnson placing 16th in 16:11.

“This is the last regular meet for the junior high and they will run their conference meet Oct. 11 at Ida Grove,” Olsen said. “They have had a great season and have shown a lot of

improvement throughout the season.”

Atlantic Invite October 7 The Logan-Magnolia Panthers competed in the Atlantic High School invitational Oct. 7. This is a very competitive meet due to a large number of large schools and small schools that attend. The boys’ high school race had more than 159 runners participate.

Leading the Panthers in 60th place was Ellis Johnson with a time of 18:59. Following Johnson was E.J. Darnell running 19:08 in 69th place. Only a few seconds behind was Joel Pixley with a time of 19:12 placing 71st. In 89th place, Grady Killpack ran a quick time of 19:28. In 110th place was Wyatt Schultz in a time of 20:08.

Nearly stride-for-stride were Braden Rosengren in 120th place with a time of 20:31 and senior Alex Skeen in 122nd in 20:33.

Skeen concluded the Panthers statement on the vicious course in Atlantic.

The boys placed 14th out of 23 teams.

The junior varsity boys also had a great race.

Tommy Peterson led the Logan-Magnolia junior varsity boys in 37th place with a time of 20:47. The hardworking Adam Thompson ran a time of 22:02 in 76th place. Junior Alex Fanning

ran a time of 23:57 in 120th place. In 144th place, Owen Pitt had a time of 25:41. The junior varsity boys showed a large amount of hard work throughout the race.

The high school girls were led by Kendra Holcomb with a time of 17:24 in 42nd place. Shortly behind was Harley Whisney in 46th place in a time of 17:29. Jacque DeWitt came in 107th with a time of 19:19, and finishing 129th was Alexa Meeker with a time of 21:20 and Jessica Mausbach in 129th place in 29:08. The girls placed 17th out of 20 full teams. This is the first time all season the girls have been able to compete as a full team.

Motion was made at 7:00 p.m. by Johnson and seconded by Hartwig to go into closed session according to the State Code of Iowa, Chapter 21.5 (c) for the purpose of discussing strategy with counsel in matters that are presently in litigation. 3 ayes.

The council came out of closed session at 7:43 p.m., Mayor Fetter stated there were no decisions made in closed session.

Motion was made by Hartwig and seconded by Johnson to authorize the City Administrator to consult with the City Attorney concerning pending litigation. 3 ayes.

Agenda item 7 was to accept the completed CDBG Retention Pond and Ditch Project. The council stated they were very pleased with the completed project. Motion was made by Johnson and seconded by Crum to accept the completed CDBG Retention Pond and Ditch project. 3 ayes.

Agenda item 8 was a decision on applying for the Community Design Program sponsored by the Iowa Architectural Foundation. The council had discussed this at the last meeting. They have reviewed the information they received at that time. The clerk discussed the committee that was formed in 1999 to come up with a 20-year comprehen-

sive plan for the city. Some of the ideas that were discussed at that time have no happened yet due to the other large projects the city has completed such as the swimming pool and the park shelter. The council discussed a few possible projects they would like to see happen but weren’t sure any of those projects were far enough along in the process to qualify for the $2,500 grant being offered by the Community Design Program. This is a matching grant so the other $2,500 would have to be paid by the city and this is for the research and design phase only, not the actual construction. The council agreed that the clerk should talk with Renea Anderson of HCDC and see if other cities have already started receiving these grants as only a few are available. No action taken.

Item 9 was approve a cigarette permit for Fuel-N-Shine, Mark and Jill Madsen. They are purchasing the current Fuel & Shine. Motion was made by Johnson and seconded by Crum to approve a cigarette permit for Fuel-N-Shine, Mark and Jill Madsen, owners. 3 ayes.
