Mary Darling Editor Want to take a walk across Iowa or even the United States on the Lincoln Highway? You can now do both at the Harrison County Museum/Welcome Center at recently completed renovations at the site.

The idea for the expansion began in 1997 when the Harrison County Conservation Board was awarded a state enhancement grant of $480,000 to build a Lincoln Highway Interpretive Center. The project was put on hold when the state began a feasibility study of relocating U.S. Highway 30 between Missouri Valley and Logan.

By 2001, the Conservation Board needed to make a decision. A new, strategic long-range plan was developed that used many of the orig- Expansions at the Harrison County Museum/Welcome Center have inal concepts but moved from a mortar and added room sized maps of the United States and Iowa showing the route brick concept to a more open plan. of the Lincoln Highway, a scenic overlook of the Loess Hills, above, cabin court area, auditorium, highway demonstration area, transportaSEE EXPANSION tion play scape and cabin court picnic area.

Benefit Oct. 2 for Deppe family Nikki Davis For the Herald-Observer Teresa Deppe looks frail sitting in the rocking chair where she spends most of her days. At 43 years old, her breaths are limited, but she stands grounded in hope.

A year ago, she was energetic and maintaining a normal life. In October of 2009, she started losing her balance; then she lost control of the right side of her body.

“At first, we thought it was stroke, then it started going up my right side,” Teresa said, confined to

her chair, arms crossed and laying on her lap.

“Then it was her legs and left side,” her husband Keith said.

In May, just a few months ago, a heartbreaking diagnosis was delivered.

Teresa had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – better known as ALS or Lou Gherig’s disease. The information that followed the diagnosis was beyond heartbreaking.

Death often occurs within three to five years of diagnosis, with only Teresa Deppe, front right, was diagnosed in May with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as ALS or Lou Gherig’s disease.

The Logan City Council was informed of a possible resource for community development projects at the Sept. 20 council meeting.

Renea Anderson, Director of Harrison County Development Corporation, discussed the Iowa Architectural Foundation program and the possible resource it could be to the city.

According to Anderson, the community design program brings civic groups, elected officials and concerned citizens together with design professionals to develop solutions towards community development projects such as downtown revitalization, streetscapes and gateway entrances.

“An added incentive,” Anderson said, “Right now for communities to take part the Iowa West Foundation will pay 50 percent of the program fees for the first five communities that are accepted into the program and the application fee is being waived.”

According to Anderson, it will be on a first-comefirst served basis, so she urged the council to begin the application process.

“It can take a month or two to decide what you want to apply for,” Anderson said. “You need to define what you want, the type of assistance needed, the groups that would be involved and the amount of youth involvement in the project.”

The council agreed to discuss a possible application for the project.

Al Stueve met with the council regarding a letter he received requiring the trimming of trees on his property. He, along with his neighbor, Terry Francis, did not think their properties met the definitions listed in the city code.

The council decided to ask the city attorney for an opinion.

Logan Police Chief Elmer Smith said they are looking at moving garbage pickup from alleys to streets due to the trucks of garbage haulers being over the weight limit and alleys being torn up. Smith said they would contact the companies who, in turn, will need to contact their customers. He wanted to get the change in place by Dec. 1.

City administrator Nedra Fliehe told the council she will be going over budgets with department heads next week and evaluations will begin in late December and January.

A public hearing will be held at 6:45 p.m., Oct. 4 regarding the completion of the CDBG project, followed by the regular city council meeting.

From the Front

ENCOMPASS: Advocacy services EXPANSION: Museum project FROM PAGE 1 director of human resources and advocacy services and one of the founders of the business “Not one agency that I know of or have used has a child with a special need.

How can you truly serve if you don’t understand? We, the founders of the company, have several children with special needs, ranging from brain injuries, intellectual disabilities and severe mental health issues. We understand the struggles, the needs and the barriers out there for families like ours.”

Springston said.

Encompass, LLC offers a wide variety of services including: •Family and children with special needs advocacy •Resource and referral •Waiver information •Supported community living •Basic, therapeutic and emergency respite •Home and vehicle modification •Free training to clients and families At the present time, the company provides services to more than 20 families in the county.

According to Springston, you do not need to “qualify” for any of their advocacy services.

“Advocacy is a free service we offer because families deserve to have someone out there that cares and is fighting for them and has their best interest at heart,” Springston said.

To qualify for waiver services, Springston said, you need to have a child, family member or yourself be diagnosed with any of the following: brain injury, mental health issues, intellectually disabled (formerly M.R.), physically disabled, elderly or have severe illnesses or other handicap.

“If you think you might qualify for one of the Home and Community Based Service Waivers, you can contact us and we can talk you through the application process or you can contact the Department of Human Services,” Springston said.

“There is an extensive waiting list for all the HCBS waivers so an early application is advisable. If you are interested in habilitation services, you must have Iowa Medicaid and complete a direct applica-

tion to your county’s central point of coordination.” Harrison County’s CPC is Lonnie Maguire.

Springston said the business was first started from a home office in Villisca in 2009 then moved into the former city hall building at the corner of Seventh Street and Highway 127 in Logan.

“God opened some pretty amazing doors and we were blessed with the perfect building. Thank you First National Bank of Logan. Then Hawkeye Lift Tech furnished our entire office with computers, cubicles, printers, desks, the works,” Springston said. “We grew from four clients to where we are today.”

The staff currently includes 12 for the supported community living program and they contract with 10 others that provide respite care services.

For more information call 644-2524 or 6442532.

“We would be privileged to speak with you or answer any questions you may have in regards to providing services to you and your loved ones,” Springston said.

FROM PAGE 1 Another change came when the Conservation Board purchased the property behind the museum including the Lincoln Highway bed and land adjacent to the museum.

Construction began in 2009. Phase I of the project included the Lincoln Highway surface demonstration – showing how the surface of the Lincoln Highway changed from dirt to gravel, to brick etc. It includes bricks from the streets of Missouri Valley that had been stored at the museum prior to the tornado that hit in 1999 and were saved for future use.

Also included in the expansion are Lincoln Highway interpretive panels, an auditorium showing films on the Loess Hills and Lincoln Highway, a children’s transportation play scape next to a cabin court picnic area, a scenic overlook observation platform, among other signage.

This phase of the project was feverishly worked on to have it at or near completion by the time the Iowa Association of County Conservation Boards conference was held last week in Harrison County.

Throughout the property you will find markers creat-

ed in the likeness of Lincoln Highway markers that will eventually correspond to definition information about the various sites.

“That part is still in the works,” said Kathy Dirks, coordinator of the Museum/Welcome Center.

Another piece recently installed and visible from the roadway is the quilt block on one of the buildings.

“It’s part of the Quilt of the Hills Project,” Dirks said. “Through the Loess Hills Hospitality Association. Our block was sponsored by the Harrison County Historical Society and painted by Harrison County 4-H Youth.”

According to Dirks, the design – a log cabin design – was chosen due to the historical significance. Each color in the block holds a special meaning.

“Red typifies the hearth, the warm colors of red, orange and yellow the cabin in daytime and the dark colors of purple, blue and green, the cabin at night,” Dirks said.

According to Dirks, the log cabin design was also used in the Underground Rail Road.

“It’s suppose to symbolize shelter,” she said. “This is a safe place…you have arrived and are welcome.

DEPPE: Dealing with a diagnosis of ALS FROM PAGE 1 about 20 percent surviving longer. And the effects are devastating – affecting not only Teresa, but her family.

“She used to be able to do all sorts of things like drive and walk,” her 8year-old son, Tyler, said.

“Now she can’t and we take care of her.”

“Tyler and I used to be able to walk up little slopes with her and now we have trouble getting her up,” Keith said. “I’m not used to any of this. I don’t know how women do it. Dishes, laundry … I just can’t catch up.”

Teresa began to cry listening to them. Keith and Tyler rushed to her side.

Her symptoms set in rapidly. A few ALS symptoms include difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, muscle weakness See DEPPE Page 5 From DEPPE Page 1 gradually becoming worse, muscle cramps and more.

And while there is no known cure, medications are able to help control and even alleviate the symptoms. But there was another road block. The medication was $860 a month. And there wasn’t much to fall back on.

Keith had been laid off since October of 2009 after approximately 25 years of dedicated employment to the same company. That’s how they found their way to Harrison County. He was transferred 13 years ago to work in Blair, Neb. But now, Teresa, obviously, doesn’t have a job, either.

“Keith can’t go to work now anyway because then there’s no one here,” Teresa said.

“And they’ve turned me down for disability.”

But the Deppe family is still grounded in hope considering some recent help and community support.

A neighbor – someone they had met and been

cordial to, but had never bonded with – temporarily helped solve the medication expense issue.

“We really owe Lenka (Knowski) a special thanks,” Keith said, Teresa nodding and smiling.

“She’s been doing all the paperwork and lining up all the phone calls and appointments. We play cards,” Teresa said.

“And she was able to get us one year of the medication … for free,” Keith said. “There’s no way we could do this without her.”

It’s not just her – there have been numerous community members stepping up.

“People bring by food all the time for us,” Tyler said.

And, according to Teresa and Keith, some contributions are anonymous.

“One time we came home from Missouri after visiting Teresa’s parents, and there was a golf cart in

our front yard,” Keith said. “We are so grateful for all that has been done for us.”

And the community has planned more. The 4 Rivers Riding Club with The Lost Hogs is rallying one last time for the season with the Teresa Deppe Ride slated for Oct. 2.

Sign up for the ride is being held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Juli’s Cave Inn in Magnolia. Rider fees – including cars, motorcycles and anything legal for the roads – will be $15 for a single rider, $25 for a couple and $5 for each additional passenger. Last card will be drawn at 6 p.m. Best hand payouts include 30 percent for first place and 20 percent for second. Teresa Deppe and her family will receive the remaining 50 percent to help with medical bills, modifications to their home and more.

A street dance featuring the Byron James Gang Band from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.

will take place at the Cave Inn following the ride.

Entrance fee is waived if participating in the ride $10 if not.

For more information, contact Denis Stueve at 402-516-2332, Lou Costanzo at 402-250-8814 or Rhonda at 712-6482540.

“We’re just waiting for a miracle. Right now, it’s so overwhelming if you just look at how we were living life and how we’re living now – it’s one step forward and two steps back,” Keith said. “Either you have nothing – or you just make do with what you got and deal with it.”

In the mean time, Teresa quietly asks, “Can you please get him off of me?” as she looks down at the family’s “Healing Cat,” Cybil, who has been curled on her lap and on top of her hands. Her arms weren’t strong enough to push the 15-pound cat onto the floor on their own.

That fit well with the welcome center.”

There are still some parts of the project to be added such as a trail area to be located on three and a half acres of the property and bollards describing the plants and animals of the Loess Hills.

There was a fee in the past to tour the facility but that has been replaced with a free-will donation, Dirks said.

The Harrison County Museum/Welcome Center continues to grow and expand and is one of those little treasures that can be found right here in Harrison County, and a stopping place for tourists coming through the area.

According to a 2008 county impact study, tourism in Harrison County is a $23.7 million dollar industry and generates $1.27 million in state tax receipts and employs 230 people. Travel parties spend on average 4.1 days in Iowa and spent $217.51 per day with 11.7 percent stopping at Iowa Welcome Centers.

For more information about the Harrison County Museum/Welcome Center you can contact Dirks at kdirks@HarrisonCountyPa rks.org or call 712-6422114.

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.

Huddle up and you could be a starter The leaves are turning and the wind brings an occasional slight chill to the air. It can only mean one thing – are you ready for some football?

With the anticipation of football season, everything begins to revolve around getting things in order for tailgating, digging out the appropriate jerseys and of course, fantasy football.

A couple of weeks ago at my niece’s wedding shower, we were asked to write some words of wisdom on an index card. I had no idea she was going to read them out loud but it turned out that every woman there, was in complete agreement with what I suggested.

I started out by saying that even when you don’t like him, love him with all your heart and under no circumstances, never, ever try to hold a conversation with him during a sporting event.

Several years ago when I realized that football would consume the fall and winter months, I came up with a ploy of my own that has worked, with just a few flaws. I really think that if my boyfriend thought he could get by with taping the remote control on ESPN permanently, he would. It doesn’t matter which teams are playing, college or professional, he’s watching intently as though the last episode of a soap opera is on and he has to hear every word, see every move.

When I noticed that our conversations were lacking, or rather he wasn’t participating, during football time, I decided to start watching the games with him.

It’s pretty easy to cheer when he does, add my own dialogue on bad plays and unfair calls, except for the times that I get confused about which team he’s rooting for and then I get a foul glare.

In between talking about the game, obviously during the commercials, I can edge in topics that normally he may avoid.

Like casually mentioning that we’re going to my sister’s for dinner or I accidentally broke one of his power tools.

By the time he’s ready to react, the game starts and tada, I’ve ran a blitz, made a touchdown and he didn’t even have time to make a tackle. It took me awhile to understand why he wants to watch teams that aren’t the Chiefs or MU. Finally he gave me a comparison that I could relate to. He said, “It’s like when you sit down with a cookbook, scouring over recipes that you’ll probably never cook. Even though you’ll still cook the same things over and over again, sometimes it’s just fun to see what other people are making.”

Watching high school games on Friday, college games on Saturday and then professional games Sundays pays off when it comes to negotiating. When I suggest watching a chick flick on Saturday night how can he call off sides when obviously it’s a fair catch since he’s had the ball all day.

I told my niece it’s all about compromise. And besides, he’s pretty darn cute with his jersey on.

Vampires Vampires are in vogue again, only now they are angst-ridden, chaste fantasies of many teenaged girls.

They are almost wholesome as they replace the more sinister variety. But never fear.

The old versions are still active, especially in Brittain, the home of creative and colorful ghosts and ghouls. The latest story centers on Highgate Cemetery, a beautiful Victorian resting place located on a North London hill. It was built during the 1830’s and became a fashionable burial ground. Anybody who was anybody wanted to be interred with the rest of the swells. Eventually, 165,000 people were scattered over 37 acres. It was all-good. Courting couples and picnicking families spent Sunday afternoons in the park-like grounds.

Time changes things, and by the 1920’s, Highgate Cemetery became less fashionable and, while not deserted, attracted less attention than in years past. Then it became the talk of the city.

In the spring of 1922, several terrified witnesses claimed they saw a massive black batlike entity flying around West Dayton Church. A full moon showed the entity

plunging down into the churchyard. It meandered around the tombstones as two policemen arrived to give chase. To their horror, the creature emitted a spinechilling shriek just before it flapped its wings and zoomed into the air. An old man claimed to have seen the same entity during the 1890’s but authorities discounted his story.

A few days later, a clerk on his way to his office in the West End, felt an entity grab him as something pierced his neck and drew blood.

Surgeons at Charing Cross Hospital said he had been stabbed by a small tubular instrument, but the clerk insisted a vampire had done the deed. Two hours later, a second man was admitted to the hospital, and his neck bore identical wounds. A third victim was hospitalized that evening.

The police were unable to solve the crimes, and they refused to say much to reporters. Rumor mill soon spread the news that vampires were attacking the city.

Everyone “knew” the police had hired a professional vampire hunter and later a police officer claimed the vampire had been killed

Perley’s Bits & Pieces

with a stake driven through his heart. The scare was over, and people forgot as the cemetery deteriorated for lack of maintenance. By 1960, it had become an overgrown ominous place, ideal for the vampire’s return.

In 1963, two teenaged girls claimed to watch bodies rising from graves.

Several weeks’ later, other people watched a hideous phantom rise out of the cemetery. The number of witnesses grew, and some contacted newspapers. The cemetery’s notoriety became a national sensation, and it became a tourist attraction for occultists and vandals.

One group of occultists attracted the attention of an eight-foot tall entity that chased them across the cemetery. They escaped by scaling the fence.

As late as 1970, a motorist claimed his car stalled by the cemetery. He got out, raised the hood, and saw a tall, dark figure watching near the cemetery gate. The terrified man ran down the street with the hood of his car still up. In 1974, a man walking his dog returned to his car and was terrified to see a newly interred body locked in his car. It may have been the work of Satanists for whom the cemetery had become a popular gathering place.

Similar stories continue to frighten Londoners as they see eight foot tall beings move within a mile or two of the cemetery. Legend says the cemetery was the inspiration for a scene in Bram Stoker’s book, “Dracula.” Maybe he knew something.

Letters to the Editor Managing livestock manure Dear editor, I would like to make a few points and explain what is all involved with the agricultural, environmental, and legal issues of managing livestock manure in Iowa today.

Agriculturally there are mostly benefits to come from manure applications.

Manure applicators use some of highest technology machinery which sometimes cost hundreds thousand of dollars to get the highest nutrient benefit

Not a fan of Rep. King Dear Editor, These are harsh times and I’m going to use harsh language in this letter.

When we received representative Steve King’s big glossy, expensive political mailing with multiple colors, pictures and print types my first thought was, wow, he sure must have some wealthy donors to be able to mail out something this posh. In that pamphlet he expounded his generalized disdain for big government and government waste so imagine my astonishment

from there manures.

Using animal manures for fertilizers has been something that has been done for hundreds of years and most agronomists and farmers will still tell you today it is the best product to use as a fertilizer source.

Environmentally farmers are becoming more aware of how their business affects the environment. For years many did not understand how nutrients affected water quality.

Like I mentioned in the paragraph above about how manure affects agricultural production many farmers are using more

technology to utilize there manure more efficiently and by doing so water quality is slowing improving. Soon manures could be the most sought after nutrient source in the state and why would people want to waste something that is valuable.

Legally manures are becoming an up hill battle for many livestock producers. Every field has it own environmental assessments taken to be sure the potential to damage water quality will be low. These assessments usually are taken by trained individuals and they all take time

and money to complete, it’s not like livestock producers can just increase the price of their products to cover the added costs of production like other businesses do.

This letter was not intended to argue the fact that agriculture should not be regulated nor that agricultural is regulated to stringently, this letter was just to inform the public about how things are changing agronomic ally, environmentally, and legally for livestock producers.

Abe Sandquist, Woodbine

as I looked up at the upper left-hand corner and there in tiny, tiny print it said, “This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense.” In over 40 years of watching politics this is the worst abuse of the franking privilege I have ever seen. Of course! Rep. Steve King opposes public financing of election campaigns, us taxpayers are already paying for his.

Hypocrite!

In the political mailing that I paid for, Rep. King talks about eliminating the national debt. Yet when legislation was proposed to allow the IRS to go after

wealthy people hiding their income in secret overseas bank accounts and shell companies he voted against it. Hypocrite!

The Veterans Administration negotiates drug prices with the suppliers saving taxpayers huge amounts of money. When Rep. King and his Republican colleagues sat down with the drug lobbyists writing Medicare Part D legislation they actually made it illegal for Medicare to negotiate with their suppliers. As a result billons of our tax dollars go directly from the treasury into the pockets of Rep. King’s backers in the drug industry.

Hypocrite!

Mr. King likes to portray himself as a family values guy. Yet when he was a member of the Iowa Legislature what did he do when Gov. Branstad and his Republican cronies plastered our state with gambling casinos? I don’t think any legislation in Iowa history has caused more bankruptcies, more broken homes or more neglected children than this single policy. Hypocrite!

On Nov. 2nd let’s dump this guy.

Thank you.

Think Twice before Joining the “ Gold Rush” In recent months, you may have heard a lot about investing in gold. But is gold the right choice for you?

Actually, many factors are involved in this investment decision —and you’ll want to consider these factors before you invest.

Of course, the lure of gold is undeniable.

Throughout history, gold has been perceived as having great intrinsic value. And this year, as you may know, gold prices have hit record highs, at well over $1,200 an ounce, as people have sought “shelter” from the stormy financial markets.

But as an investment possibility, gold has some “scratches” to it. First of all, contrary to what you may believe, gold prices do not always go up; instead, they will fluctuate, sometimes greatly.

Furthermore, there are specific risks with the different ways of investing in gold. If you bought a gold futures contract (an obligation to buy gold at a predetermined future date and price), you could lose money if gold falls, because you’ll still be obligated to complete your contract at the higher, agreed-upon price. If you purchased gold

in the form of coins, bullion or bars, you’d face storage, security, insurance and liquidity issues. You need to do a lot of research before investing in gold mining companies, because some of these companies may still be in the gold-exploring stage — and there’s no guarantee their explorations will lead to profitable discoveries.

Also, even when its price is considerably lower than it is today, gold is still a fairly expensive investment compared to other choices. It can be costly to go into the gold futures market. And you’ll likely have to spend thousands of dollars if you want to buy a bar of gold or even a bunch of coins.

Given these drawbacks to investing in gold, what can you do to fight back against market volatility?

One of the best ways is to diversify your holdings among a variety of investments suitable for your financial objectives. Market downturns often affect one type of asset class more than another, so if you can spread your dollars among a variety of asset classes, you can help blunt the

Harrison County Conservation Board recently co-hosted an Iowa Association of County Conservation Boards conference at Willow Lake Recreation Area near Woodbine and the Harrison County Historical Village/Iowa Welcome Center near Missouri Valley. Over 200 directors, park rangers and county conservation board members from across the state attended the conference to learn more about Harrison County Conservation Board, recent projects, rental cabins, park and wildlife areas and environmental education programming. It was a great way for HCCB to promote Harrison County and show the achievements of the conservation board in recent years. Pictured is Tim Sproul, director, discussing recent projects at the historical village including the Loess Hills Scenic Byway Portal and Lincoln Highway Interpretive Center.

Ducks Unlimited in hunt for new members Did you know the local DeSoto Bend Chapter of Ducks Unlimited based in Missouri Valley first started in 1981 and is one of 119 Ducks Unlimited committees throughout Iowa? In recent years, Iowa ranked eighth nationwide in total grassroots income and in total memberships for Ducks Unlimited. A total of 86 percent of DU dollars goes to waterfowl/wetland conservation, 11 percent to fundraising and development and only three percent to administration and human resources. So the vast majority of DU dollars go on the ground to restore, enhance and protect natu-

ral resources for wetland and upland habitats.

The local DU chapter is looking to increase its membership numbers through volunteers, members and sponsors/underwriters. Volunteers each year plan the annual dinner banquet to raise funds for habitat restoration and protection efforts in Iowa and throughout North America.

Members annually participate in the fall banquet by buying a membership as well as purchasing art and collectibles from live and silent auction; games and raffles. Sponsors and underwriters make donations to local chapters to

effects of volatility. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

In coping with volatility, you’ll also help yourself by taking a long-term view of your investments’ performance. If you look at your investment statement for a given month, you might not like what you see. But holding your investments for the long term may help your portfolio better weather the ups and downs you’ll encounter in the investment world.

So try to avoid the allure of gold as a “quick fix” to whatever seems to be ailing the financial markets at a particular time. Other investments may be less glitzy and glamorous than gold, but they can have their own sparkle.

Leia Mendoza, WHNS Wearing a black Husker hoodie and black warmup pants, Andrew Schlichtemeier carefully stepped out of his parents’ white SUV on a gloomy, overcast morning.

On crutches, the 21-year old slowly walked up to the side door of the Harrison County Jail about 10:15 a.m., Sept. 25 and turned himself in to authorities.

Schlichtemeier was charged Sept. 24 with four counts of homicide by vehicle in the deaths of four motorcyclists in an Aug. 9 collision on Interstate 29.

In a quiet, somber voice, Schlichtemeier responded to a reporter’s question by saying he was doing “good.”

His mother and father, Don and Bonnie Schlichtemeier, were filled with tears as they walked their son to the jail door.

Schlichtemeier’s attorney, Steve Lefler of Omaha, issued a statement saying, “everyone knew this day would come.” He said he’s sure all of the families involved “are ready…for justice to be done.”

Schlichtemeier, a University of NebraskaLincoln honors student, would have to post a $200,000 cash bond to be released until trial.

But his family does not have that amount of money available, Lefler has said, so Schlichtemeier will remain at the county jail.

On Sept. 27, Lefler was to ask a judge to lower the bail amount.

Lefler, in the statement, said he wanted to address “hate comments that have been thrown against Andrew and his family” and said he would like for everyone to reflect on “what we did when we were 20, 21 years old.”

He went on to say, “For those of you who have never sinned, please step forward so we can all learn to live like you.”

Lefler also thanked those who have said they are praying for all families involved in the accident.

Schlichtemeier is a resident of Murray, Neb. His parents farm in the Murray area.

Andrew Schlichtemeier’s blood-alcohol level measured .373 percent after the accident, more than 4 1/2 times the legal limit, the Iowa State Patrol said. Also, the same test turned up traces of the chemical in marijuana, the State Patrol said Sept. 24.

Vehicular homicide is a felony, with each count punishable by up to 25 years in prison.

Killed in the accident were Dale e. Aspedon, 49, of Glenwood; Steven Benscoter, 62, of Pacific Junction; Jay C. Bock, 48, Omaha, Neb.; and Dennis E. Chaney, 62, Glenwood.

Neighbors Lo-Ma junior high football team takes on Lawton-Bronson

By Klint Kersten The Lo-Ma junior high football team took on the Lawton-Bronson Eagles Sept.14. The seventh grade team played hard but suffered a 30-0 loss to a very big and talented Eagles team.

During the seventh grade game, the defense held strong but the Eagles managed to score on big plays and turnovers.

Playing on the defensive side of the ball were Alex Pirolo, Jameson Muxfeldt, Christian Jensen, River Meeker, Tommy Fender, Riley Wohlers, Morgan Melby, Cole Royer, Wyatt Oviatt, Robert Perkins and Luke Worley. Providing support on defense were Jordan Powley, Cameron Waldron, Tyler Clark and Jared Richardson. The Panther offense sustained several long drives but could not put any points on the board. Riley Wohlers, Wyatt Oviatt, Jarek Richardson and Morgan

Melby had several nice carries due to strong blocking

by Luke Worley, Christian Jensen, Jameson Muxfeldt, Jordan Powley, Joe Small, Cole Royer, Zach Stewart and Dillon Knudsen. Also seeing action on the offensive side of the ball were Geoff Smith, Tommy Fender and Cameron Waldon.

The eighth grade team also played a very sizeable opponent but persevered to a 14-6 win. The eighth grade defense played a very solid game. The defensive line was led by Jacob Stueve, Dillon Bonham, Ty Pitt and Tyler Coffin. Drake Cohrs and Colton Fisher did a good job containing the Eagles outside runs all game. The linebackers had several big hits throughout the game. Linebackers were led by Brady Charbonneau, Colton Small, Jason Yost and Wyatt Oviatt. Jack Forsen and Gabe Holben provided good coverage on the pass

plays. Others seeing action on defense included Seth Smith and Kaleb Rynek.

The offense moved the ball throughout the game but had trouble scoring.

Moving the ball for the Panthers were Colton Fisher, Drake Cohrs, Brady Charbonneau, Wyatt Oviatt and Kaleb Rynek with the aid of great blocking by Colton Small, Seth Smith, Jacob Stueve, Ty Pitt, Dillon Bonham, Jason Yost, Jack Forsen and Tyler Coffin. Drake Cohrs scored in the third quarter with a 25-yard sprint to the goal line.

The Eagles quickly answered with a touchdown of their own to knot the score 6-6. The tie game remained until late in the fourth quarter when Charbonneau ran 50 yards for a score. Charbonneau also tacked on a 2-point conversion to make the score 14-6. The defense held the Eagles until time expired.

News from the Extension Service

Vegetables in the winter Well, different week, and even different season, but I am back to talk more about things you might try with excess garden vegetables.

There are a few options for prolonged winter storage of fruits and vegetables. But first, here are several general storage rules.

•Never store vegetables and fruits in the same area.

Plant materials age or ripen when they are exposed to a chemical called ethylene.

Ethylene is naturally produced by nearly all fruits as they ripen. If that ethylene gas charges the storage atmosphere, any root crops that are in storage will age; becoming soft and rapidly losing quality.

•The general rule is to lower temperatures for storage as close as reasonable to freezing temperatures, but don’t let hem freeze. If you have controlled-temperature areas like a refrigerator or cooler, you can hold fruits and vegetables a degree or two from 32 successfully. But with facilities constructed for storage like a storage cellar or tile storage your goal should be holding temperatures from about 34 to 40 degrees for success.

Also, although excess moisture is a bad thing, you do want to maintain humidity high to delay dehydration and maintain quality.

•Place barriers at rodent entry points to limit or avoid mouse damage.

A cool basement corner can be retrofitted into a small root cellar for ripening tomatoes and for shortterm storage of potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, pumpkins and winter squash. Insulate inner walls and the ceiling to reduce both the heat coming into the area and the chilling of the living area above. Avoid areas with heating ducts running through them. A window that allows you to control

Rich Pope Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator the entry of ventilation air into the area is quite helpful.

Outside storage is also a possible storage option.

When settlers first came to the prairies, produce was kept in outdoor caches that could be opened even in the middle of the winter, and these still can work today. You can construct a temporary storage by digging a pit several feet in diameter in a well-drained site. A one to two foot deep pit can keep produce into early winter, but for longer storage the pit needs to be three to four feet deep. Put the pit in a sunny location so the sun helps warm the area slightly, avoiding freezing. Put a layer of straw at the base and stack the vegetables in a pyramid. Alternatively, the produce can be packaged in mesh “onion” bags for easier removal. Put about a foot of clean straw over the produce and then add eight to 12 inches of soil over everything. An additional layer of straw on top will help prolong the storage.

Cover the top with a piece of screen to exclude rodents. A cross of two boards nailed together helps mark the spot.

A modification of the pit process is to use a section of hollow tile. Get a two to three foot long section of concrete or clay tile that is from one and a half to two and half feet in diameter.

Choose a well-drained site and dig the hole just big enough to fit the tile in

snugly. The hole should be dug six inches deeper than the tile. At the base, use three or four standard clay bricks as a foundation and set the tile in the hole. Pour two to three inches of coarse gravel or sand for drainage, and leave the lid off for a week of fall evenings (replace the lid during the day). Wet the gravel or sand and cover for a few days to raise humidity. Cool vegetables to be stored in a shady covered area outdoors or in a refrigerator for a day or so to chill them. Vegetables can be placed in mesh bags, baskets, etc. to allow for easier removal during the winter.

Cover the tile with hardware cloth and spread several inches of straw, cornstalks, etc., and place a waterproof final cover and weigh it down. For cold periods, either scoop snow or place fiberglass insulation over the tile to provide additional protection. Vegetables can be stored until May and the tile can be opened and resealed repeatedly.

Most of this information is based on a publication available at the extension office called Harvesting and Storing Vegetables, ISU publication PM-731. You can download it at www.extension.iastate.edu/store/pm73 1.pdf, or contact us at the Harrison County Extension office or an ISU Extension office near you.

Citizens questions and comments: Al Stueve and Terry Francies were present to discuss whether or not trees located on the bank at the backs of their properties were their responsibility to trim or not. The council said they felt it was their responsibility to maintain them since they were in the right of way between the street and their properties.

HARRISON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS June 24, 2010 The Board of Supervisors met in session with all members present.

The current agenda was approved on a motion by King, second by Smith.

Unanimous approval.

Previous minutes were approved on a motion by Smith, second by King.

Unanimous approval.

Visitor: Walter Utman Chris Horhan, Army Corp of Engineers, presented partnership agreements that needed the chairman’s signature. This agreement had already been approved on April 1, 2010. No action required.

Crane Inter-County Drainage District The Harrison County Board of Supervisors, acting as Trustees of the Crane Inter-County Drainage District of Monona and Harrison Counties, Iowa, met in regular session on Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. Present were Gaylord Pitt, Chairman, Larry King and Robert Smith, Trustees.

On a motion by Smith, second by King, a petition presented by Ronnie Schulz, et al, was approved to be referred to the District’s Engineer, Droessler, for investigation. All ayes. This petition was previously approved on June 15 by the Monona County Board of Supervisors, acting as trustees for the District.

Seig Drainage District The Board met as trustees for the Seig Drainage District to discuss the pumps. Present were Gaylord Pitt, Chairman, Larry King and Robert Smith, Trustees, Elizabeth Lenz, Drainage Clerk, Rick Shearer, Maintenance Contractor, Susan Bonham, Auditor and the following landowners: Warren Christy, Walter Utman and Larry Meyer.

The landowners and Rick chose to meet with the Board to discuss the running of the second pump.

Some landowners feel that running the second pump would be an unnecessary cost to the District because there would be little or no benefit. Currently only one pump is running. To run the second pump a tractor is needed. After discussing where to obtain a tractor, it was determined that renting a tractor from Case, with insurance to cover anything that could happen to it, was the best option. It was also discussed whether the district would be ahead financially if they converted both pumps to electric. The ondemand charge by Harrison County REC has been lowered with the start up costs also lowered. It would also eliminate the need for someone to be in charge of making sure the tractor was running and refilling the gas. Everyone agreed that this was something to look into.

On a motion by Smith, second by King, it was decided to start the second pump and continue using both pumps as long as necessary. All ayes.

The last time Mr. Stoner checked with Wise-Mack, there were 2 trucks available. A new 2011 tandem axle truck that meets the new emissions requirements would cost between $125,000 and $130,000. There is a new 2008 tandem axle truck that qualifies under the pre-emission standards that would cost just over $100,000. The recommended trying to purchase the 2008 if the truck was still available. Mr. Stoner would be selling two other trucks from his fleet.

Loess Hills Byways Signage Tim Sproul and Walk Ordway met with the Board and discussed the new signage for all byways in Iowa. Mr. Sproul told the Board that DOT embarked on a study to look at the byways signage and perhaps have a consistent look throughout the State, but also try to have an individual look for each byway. Mr. Sproul indicated on a personal level he was happy with the current signs.

Mr. Ordway felt that when discussions were taking place among the Iowa Scenic Byways, Golden Hills RC&D and the DOT, the Loess Hills Hospitality Association wasn’t included in the meetings. Mr. Ordway told the Board that they (Harrison County) have control over the signage on secondary roads, but not on primary roads and Mr. Ordway would like the County to keep the current signs and not change to the new signs. Monona County Board of Supervisors indicted to Mr. Ordway that they would be keeping the current signs, contrary

to an email that the Harrison County Board of Supervisors were given written by Monona County Engineer saying Monona County supports the new byways signage project. Mr. Ordway reminded the Board that the Loess Hills Hospitality covers the replacement cost of the current signs when damaged and felt the County would have to start purchasing the new signs when they become damaged. The board felt they would leave the issue alone for now. No action taken.

Present were Larry King, Robert Smith and Gaylord Pitt, Trustees, Elizabeth Lenz, Drainage Clerk, Rick Shearer, Shearer Contractors, Suzy Bonham, Auditor, Kay Lamberson, Mason Hansen, Bruce Thomas, Dick Hansen and Kent Thomas, interested parties.

Running of the pumps in the Seig district was discussed. Kent Thomas reported that he had asked the board to stop running the pumps when it was obvious that the ditch was not draining. Crop loss could have been reduced if the pumps had been stopped. The board replied that people in the District had requested that the pumps be ran and felt that it was doing some good. Thomas’ own land outside of the District and do not pay taxes for the Seig ditch. The Board assured everyone present that they had no intentions of causing anyone to lose crops, inside or outside of the District. At the time that the request was made to stop pumping, there was only one Trustee available. Other suggestions were made of possibly moving the second pump further down the ditch or having a rule of not pumping if the river is too high to accept the water.

The Board will request legal counsel from the drainage attorney, Noel Mumm, to see how to further proceed with the pumping.

LEGAL NOTIFICATION NOTIFICATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS The Green Hills AEA (Area Education Agency) maintains records on each student identified as requiring special education in order to facilitate the instruction, guidance and educational progress of the student. Area education agency (AEA) special education files contain information limited to the following types of records: identification data, record of achievement, family background data, educational and vocational plans, honors and activities, discipline data, objective counselor or teacher ratings and observations, and external agency reports. Evaluation protocols and service logs are maintained by the professionals working with the students. The records of each student are located in the local regional office.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents and students over 18 years of age (“eligible students”) certain rights with respect to the student’s education records. These rights are: 1.The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the AEA receives a request for access. Parents or eligible students should submit to the AEA a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect: Green Hills, AEA Attention: Mark C. Draper P.O. Box 1109 Council Bluffs, IA 51502-1109 The AEA will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.

2.The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Parents or eligible students may ask the AEA to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the AEA, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the AEA decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the AEA will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information

regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing.

3.The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. An AEA official is a person employed by the AEA as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the AEA Board; a person or company with whom the AEA has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. An AEA official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

Disclosure without consent is also allowed for: Officials of other schools of AEAs in which the student proposes to enroll.

Representatives of state and local government when auditing and evaluating federal education programs.

Governmental officials to which information is to be reported under state law adopted prior to November 19, 1974.

Parents of dependent children.

Appropriate parties in health or safety emergency.

Any other access to student records shall be only upon written consent or upon court order or legally issued subpoena.

4. The right to file a complaint with the U. S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the AEA to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-5901 The procedure to be followed in exer-

cising any of the rights listed above under AEA policies or rules may be obtained by contacting the special education administrator listed above.

The parents of students with disabilities, or students with disabilities over age 18, will be informed when personally identifiable information in the records is no longer needed to provide educational services, and before the information is destroyed.
