New security policy in effect at WCS NIKKI DAVIS Editor In lieu of recent, tragic, school-related events nationwide, some changes are being made to Woodbine’s security policies in order to maintain the safety of the faculty and students.

Beginning Jan. 19, all doors leading into the school will be locked throughout the majority of the day. The east commons doors, located on Weare Street, will be unlocked before school only between the hours of 7:30 and 8:25 a.m.

After 8:25 a.m., the doors will remain locked until the end of the day between 3-4 p.m.

Entry to the building before and after these hours is possible through two options:

A new policy at Woodbine Community School leaves only the east commons doors on Normal Street unlocked between the hours of 7:30-8:25 a.m. The policy went into effect Jan. 19.

Photo: Nikki Davis 1. Utilize the buzzer on the wall next to the commons area doors.

The buzzer sounds in the high school office. A faculty member will then

meet you at the doors and allow your entrance.

2. Call the high school office at 647-2227 and let faculty members know ahead of time your

approximate time of arrival so someone may be watching for your arrival.

Another change applies to Tiger Tots and

Latch Key students.

Beginning immediately, we will be returning to use the south entrance of the early childhood wing for Latchkey and Tiger

Tots pickup from 6-7:45 a.m. and again from 3:30-6 p.m.

Necessary changes for security have been put See SECURITY Page 6

Woodbine cashes in on Campbell’s Iowa farmland NIKKI DAVIS Editor It took about two years to collect the 15,450 Campbell’s Labels for Education, but it only took 10 days to receive

the order after the labels were cashed in.

Over the winter break, Woodbine sophomore Megan Pauley lent a helping hand to CUBS members as she organized and glued the UPC

codes to bonus sheets, counted Land O’ Lakes milk jug caps and bagged them and banded Box Tops for Education as well as organized Nestle water bottle wrappers into bag-

gies of 50.

With her organizational help, school secretary Cindy Dickinson was able to place an order through Campbell’s. Around the second week of January, Woodbine Community School was already enjoying the use of three packs of playground kick balls, five basketballs, two Crayola sidewalk chalk kits, three intermediate footballs, six jump ropes, six lemon twist ball hops, two volleyballs and one, size four soccer ball for their 15,450 points. Some of the Campbell’s Labels for Education were actually collected during the 2009-2010 school year – and CUBS is still actively seeking more.

“One thousand of these recent points were what Campbell’s considers ‘double your bonus points.’ And since we submitted those, we have already submitted 3,961 more,” Lantz said.

“Six hundred of those points were bonus programs like the Junior Optimists blanket drive and submitting photos and paperwork for a ‘show off what you’ve earned’ bonus program.”

Aside from the Campbell’s Labels for Education program, CUBS has also been working with Coca-Cola on yet another collectand-cash project.

CHAMBER CONNECTION WOODBINE MAIN STREET

Basics of the Façade Master Plan

I

t’s a new year and we’re all counting down the days until the spring thaw! The past three years as a Main Street community have been actionpacked. We’ve seen some really great projects reach completion in the past six months. So get ready….because Spring 2011 is bringing more wonderful façade projects to the Main Street District!

Keep reading…

When considering the list of Woodbine’s activities (2009 & 2010 Challenge Grants rehabbing five facades and the historic canopy gas station; the addition of a new health clinic in the District, and the gorgeous renovation of one of Woodbine’s historic anchor buildings, Siebel’s Department Store/Odd Fellows Building), Woodbine’s Façade Master Plan (fueled by a Community Block Development Grant, City of Woodbine-Downtown Revitalization funds, Main Street I-Jobs dollars for some projects and owner investments) will be a stand-out project delivering significant impact to our community; it ties together all aspects of the Woodbine Main Street Mission: to promote historic preservation, champion local business and build community partnerships; always applying sustainable practices. So what is a “Façade Master Plan?”

Keep reading…

The 2010-11 Façade Master Plan will be renovating 22 properties during an 18 month timeframe, including every historic building downtown; no building needing façade renovation will be missed.

Energy efficiency improvements will be incorporated into façade renovations (the bricks) and the programs Woodbine Main Street is implementing (the mortar) will provide a synergy supporting existing business while creating new opportunities.

The major funding source for the Façade Master Plan comes from Community Block Development Grants. With much assistance from SWIPCO (Southwest Iowa Planning Council) planning professionals and grant writers, the funds were awarded to Woodbine. This grant is intended “…to support the sustainability of Iowa’s downtowns and communities. The Iowa Department of Economic Development (IDED) has added the Sustainable Community Demonstration Project and Downtown Revitalization funding opportunities in order to assist communities in demonstrating innovative, cutting edge solutions to making Iowa’s communities more environmentally, economically and culturally viable.

Woodbine’s Main Street is well on its way to becoming a model of sustainability for small communities committed to preservation and growth due to the Façade Master Plan. Keep reading, watching, listening…more changes are coming our way!

Bringing on those swinging moods

I

knew it on Sunday. I could tell she didn’t feel well.

I thought she felt warm. But I had been gone most of the weekend in Des Moines at a gymnastics meet (coaching), and my hubby told me I needed to take her temperature before I said she had a temperature.

She did. My poor, little Eva. I got the call Monday morning while I was trying to wrap the paper up and get it to the press.

I couldn’t concentrate. My husband said her fever was high and asked how soon I could come home.

After I laughed out loud, upsetting him slightly, I told him I would leave as soon as I had the paper sent to the press.

When I got home, Eva was burning up. My hubby had already called the doctor, but they didn’t want to see her until she had a fever for over 24 hours.

After not sleeping Monday night due to my 26 pound weight sleeping on my chest with a burning fever and vomiting (sorry – I know that’s not a pleasant thought), the doctor agreed to see her on Tuesday.

I worked about four hours before heading home.

Eva, normally a naughty, stubborn and loud child, was all but lethargic. She just laid on my chest, trying to nap, but her stomach not allowing her to. At this point, I thought for sure she’d be better on Wednesday.

She wasn’t.

Tuesday night was another sleepless night as Eva lay in bed between us, whimpering and sobbing. I wound up in the rocking chair three times between midnight and 4 a.m. before I started getting ready for work.

Then, on Wednesday I was on a conference call with our parent company and my cell phone rang. I ignored the call. However, when the same number popped up on the caller ID at work, my heart sunk. I excused myself and answered the phone.

“She has hives now,” he told me – more calm than I would have been. “They’re all over her legs and look like welts. At least I think they’re hives …”

OK. I have a step-daughter that is now 13, but we’ve always only seen her every other weekend. It was rare the time we had her when she was ill – because everyone knows that when you’re sick, you just want your mommy. So this was fairly new to this sort-of first time mommy.

And I was more than panicked. I excused myself after the conference call and headed home early … for the third day in a row.

This is NOT common behavior for me. I can’t stand missing work because when I do, I just have to make it up later. There’s pros and cons of a small office, and not having back up is one of the cons.

But I couldn’t take listening to her whines and whimpers on the phone. My heart felt like someone was taking a tiny pin and pricking it … over and over and over ……

NIK’S KNACKS NIKKI DAVIS EDITOR nikki.davis@woodbinetwiner.com

She looked at me with those large, tear-filled baby blues and reached her arms out to me.

“Mama. Mama. MAAAAMAAAAAAAA!!!” She screamed as soon as I walked in the door.

She had hives all right. They had spread to her face and little cheeks.

Oh, yes. I cried. The doctor said it was from the fever and there wasn’t much we could do, but if she has problems breathing, head for the emergency room. Great. Nice. As if I needed anything else to panic about!

So I spent another day in the rocker, with my hived-up, tired, sick baby. I snuggled her and loved her and told her multiple times, “I wish I could take this from you. I’d gladly take it from you. I love you. I love you, littlest angel….”

It was Wednesday night her fever broke. She woke up in a puddle of her own sweat. I changed her jammies and rocked with her around 1 a.m. I watched her sleepy little eyes fade off as I whispered, “It’ll be better tomorrow, angel.”

And it was. Finally.

By the time I got home from work, she was throwing large Lego’s across the room (really trying to break her of this, but she likes the sound they make when they hit something …) and screaming. She giggled as I smothered her with moochies on her cheeks and neck until she pushed me away and started kicking because she wanted to go.

She ran like a wild woman and giggled and tried to ride our poor lab. She poked the cat’s eye and brought me EVERY book off the bookshelf, but only long enough to let me read the first three or four pages.

She screamed when I put her in the bath and then giggled for half an hour. Then screamed when I took her out because she was playing in the puddles of water left in the bottom of the tub.

She fought sleep like I’ve never seen her do before.

She wanted down. Wanted to run. I think she actually tried to kick me when I went to put her in her crib.

This is my Eva. When she feels fine. High spirited.

Stubborn. Short tempered. Focused. (Just like her daddy … HA!!!)

As we finally crawled into bed Thursday night, exhausted from the long week of no sleep and worry, I looked at my hubby and softly said, so I wouldn’t wake Eva up, “I’m going to miss those snuggles in the rocker.”

A

California cousin asked me a while back, “Just how do you get through those awful winters in Iowa?”

While the native Iowan in me was smiling and realizing that I actually can appreciate (for a little while at least) the good parts of an Iowa winter, it also got me to thinking what it must have been like for early settlers to Iowa in the late 1800’s.

No electricity, no radio, no indoor running water, little or no insulation in the walls, yet our grandparents and their grandparents made it through winter. Sure it wasn’t easy at times. Take the winter storm of Jan. 12, 1888 that rolled across the eastern South Dakota and Nebraska and Western Iowa plains, trapping and killing many, including children who tried, but couldn’t make it home from school. For a great read, yet sobering picture of a powerful winter storm that hit right here over a century ago, check out the book The Children’s Blizzard by David

Laskin.

But people stayed, and found ways to survive and flourish. And one of the simple coping activities that they used some still enjoy today.

One traditional way to keep spring just a thought away in the deepest of winter was to spend time carefully going through the seed catalog. The earliest seed house that I could find is the D. Landreth Seed Company of New Freedom, Pa. who began direct marketing neighbor to neighbor and through the postal service in 1784! Some historians view them as one of the earliest direct marketers in the U.S.A.; in a sense they were the Ebay or Craigslist of their day.

In the dark comfort of the winter homes, they could dream of new varieties or even new crops to try in the coming season, and with a bit of preparation and a relatively meager investment, they could try out new, better yielding and better quality produce and colorful flowers to

EXTENSION OFFICE RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu impress and engage their communities in low-level competition.

Although our society has many technological comforts today that earlier generations did not, the allure of the seed catalog still remains, just in different forms. Sure, I can now head to the local garden center at planting time and choose from a wide selection of varieties, but there is something, maybe a bit of heritage for me by gazing at the new offerings in the seed catalog.

Yes, now I can access the internet and go to the online sites, but old familiar names like Northrup, King and Co., W. Atlee Burpee, Farmer’s Seed, Gurney and, yes, even the old Landreth Seeds (http://landrethseeds.co m/) are there. And I

believe that productive yet wistful browsing in anticipation of the coming year is a pretty healthy activity.

So, for me, my planting plans in 2011 do involve some e-mailordered watermelon radishes (well they look like watermelons when you cut them, but taste like a good solid radish), a few new tomato types, some okra and even an apple tree, variety Arkansas Black. I might even go to www.seedsavers.org and try some old Iowa heirloom varieties that Grandma Pope talked about. Heck, something to do as the snow blows by!

Utility offering Energy Star rebates Woodbine Municipal Light & Power recently announced it has added two new ENERGY STAR rebates to its Bright Energy Solutions incentive program for 2011.

The Bright Energy Solutions program provides a variety of energy efficiency rebates for residents and businesses alike.

Residential customers can now get a $50 rebate by installing a new ENERGY STAR refrigerator and recycling the old one. New ENERGY STAR refrigerators use 20 percent less energy than standard models, even with all of the great features customers want. If the refrigerator being replaced is from the 1980s, residents can save $100 each year on their utility bill with an ENERGY STAR model, according to the ENERGY STAR Web site.

Residents can replace a refrigerator from the 1970s and save up to $300 each year.

Woodbine Municipal also offers a $25 rebate

for the installation of an ENERGY STAR qualified ceiling fan. An ENERGY STAR ceiling fan/light combination unit is over 50 percent more efficient than conventional units.

An ENERGY STAR qualified fan also can help to evenly distribute heated or cooled air throughout the home, which will help save money on heating or air conditioning bills, too.

Municipal customers can also get rebates on other ENERGY STAR qualified appliances, such as clothes washers, dishwashers, dehumidi-

Early Access Program offering services for parents and their children Early ACCESS is a partnership between families and young children, birth to age 3 and providers from the Department of Education, Public Health, Human Services and the Child Health Specialty Clinics. The purpose of the program is for family and staff to work together in identifying, coordinating and providing needed services and resources that help the family assist infants or toddlers to grow and develop.

All services to the child are provided in the child’s natural environment including the home and other community settings where children of the same age without disabilities participate.

Services required to be provided include: service coordination; screen-

ings, evaluation and assessments; individualized family service plans; assistive technology; audiology; family training/counseling; health services; medical evaluations to determine eligibility; nursing; nutrition; occupational therapy; physical therapy; psychology; social work; special instruction; speech language therapy; vision; transportation.

Infants or toddlers are eligible if they are under the age of 3 or have a condition or disability that is known to have a high probability of later delays if early intervention services are not provided. They are also eligible if they are experiencing a 25 percent delay in one or more areas of growth or development.

There are no costs to families for service coor-

dination activities; evaluation and assessment activities to determine eligibility or identify the concerns, priorities and resources of the family or development and reviews of the individualized family service plan. The service coordinator works with the family to determine costs and payment arrangements of other needed services. Some services may have charges or sliding fee scales or may be provided at no cost. Costs are determined by a variety of factors that are individualized to each child and family.

The Woodbine Twiner

January 26, 2011

Sports

Woodbine’s Dalton Peterson has an eye for detail EVAN BLAND OWH News Service As an artist, Dalton Peterson always finishes what he starts.

The Woodbine senior does glass etchings, paper mache and drawings — including a portrait of the “Batman” villain Joker that looks more like a photo than a freehand creation.

Another element of Peterson’s repertoire is pen stippling. The process requires short, repeated dots to create a larger image.

“It takes a loooong time,” he said.

His other talent, wrestling, has taken him on a similar journey since he first hit the mat in elementary school. His own dots have included countless early morning workouts, jujitsu training and weightlifting, as well as a pair of appearances at the Iowa state tournament.

Peterson is working on

a masterpiece in his final go-round.

The 189pounder is 29-0 and holds the No. 3 state ranking in Iowa Class 1-A, according to The Predicament.

The standout likes to dance, which may be why he prefers grappling on his feet. And he credits his creative eye for being able to turn small observations into big advantages on the mat.

“It helps me look at detail,” Peterson said.

“You need to know the detail for your moves — you have to have the smallest parts of moves down.”

Woodbine coach Matthew Mentink knew Peterson was a rare breed when he wasn’t afraid to wrestle the coach as a seventh-grader.

Now Mentink, a standout for Dana College in the mid1990s, gets all he can handle from the young offensive machine.

“He’ll give me a onepoint match or take me

down in the room,” Mentink said. “You know when a kid can do that, they’re at a higher level than everybody else.”

The goals are higher, too. An undefeated season would be nice, but the real prize is to become Woodbine’s first individual state champion. The school’s career wins record of 160 is also in sight for a teenager who can pass 140 with a good night at Thursday’s quadrangular in Underwood.

As the only senior with any extensive wrestling experience, Peterson doubles as a de facto coach for a Tigers team full of freshmen and sophomores. As such, he vowed before the school year to act more like a role model on and off the mat.

So far, so good.

“It’s kind of like Cheers,’” Mentink said.

“When Dalton shows up, everybody knows him and everybody’s smiling and high-fiving. He’s the

Woodbine's Dalton Peterson (top) led most of the way in this Class 1-A state semifinal match at 189 pounds last year, but Eagle Grove's Bryce Olson pinned him with 16 seconds remaining.

Photo: Chris Machian kind of kid every parent hopes their son grows up and acts like, and he always has a smile on his face.”

Peterson plans to wrestle next year, possibly at Northwestern College. A major in architectural drafting is likely in his future as well.

In the meantime, staying undefeated is difficult enough.

He stayed unblemished by winning his weight in the rugged

Western Valley Conference tournament last week.

“My record doesn’t scare me,” Peterson said.

“I’m like a predator going after his prey. I don’t take any opponent lightly, for sure. I take them as a challenge.”

When Woodbine hosts a 1-A sectional on Feb. 5, Peterson will begin a mission of redemption from last winter. He was pinned with 16 seconds left in a state semifinal match he

had led most of the way.

He was undefeated midway through that season as well, but finished sixth in Des Moines. Now he wants to put the finishing touches on what might be his finest work yet.

“Just like with wrestling, his art is so meticulous,” Mentink said. “He’s the type of kid where he’s not going to hand in a piece of art until he’s completely satisfied with it.”

Tigers go 2-for-1 in Underwood; Finish 15th at OA-BCIG

Mason Mentink works for the pin during the Herb Irgens Invitational at OA-BCIG Jan. 21-22. Mentink went 1-for-2 during the tourney.

Photo: Kristi Mentink Jan. 20 Treynor, Underwood, St. Albert The Woodbine Tigers Wrestling squad travelled to Underwood Jan. 20 for dual competition against Treynor, Underwood and Saint Albert.

The Tigers opened strong with a 54-21 dual victory over Treynor.

The Tigers held nothing back as Josh Matusik (160) opened the dual with a 1:45 pin. Several other Tigers delivered pins on the dual, including: Dalton Peterson (189), in 2:19; Lucas Hedstrom (112), 1:00; Tanner Hedstrom (119), 2:59; Mason Mentink (140), 2:35; Matt Monahan (145), 2:39; and Gavvon Shafer (152), 3:00.

Heavyweight Spencer Ball lost in a 17-12 decision and Alex Whiteing (103) fell in a 21-9 major decision. Sean Klein (171) in the first and Nick

Klein (135) in the third to leave the score 54-21.

Underwood proved to be a force to reckoned with as a back and fourth team score left the Tigers on the down side, with a 45-30 loss.

Klein fell in the first period to open the dual, but was followed by a 1:54 pin from Peterson. A second pin from Kyle Kuhlman (215) in 3:55 left the Tigers up 12-6, but a 31 second fall from Ball tied the score 12-12.

Whiteing fell in 34 seconds, giving the lead to Underwood. A tight match by L. Hedstrom, with most of the scoring in the third period gave a major decision at 14-5 to Underwood, and T. Hedstrom’s match looked similar with a 144 major decision.

Malachi Mentink (125) took a 3:22 pin but was followed by Joe Grady’s (130) third period fall. N. Klein and Mason Mentink gained 12 for

the Tigers due to forfeits, leaving the score at a close 30-32. But the dual did not end well as Monahan fell in the second, Shafer lost in a 7-4 decision and Matusik lost in an 11-2 major decision, allowing Underwood to edge the Tigers out of the dual win, 45-30.

Ready to redeem the dual loss, the Tigers came to the mat ready to fight against St. Albert, winning the dual 45-33.

Kuhlman delivered the team’s first pin in 52 seconds, L. Hedstrom in 4:27 and Matusik in 1:29.

Forfeits were given to Peterson, T. Hedstrom, Shafer and S. Klein to aid the team’s score.

Monahan won in a 7-4 decision to give Woodbine three more.

Ball, Whiteing, Malachi Mentink, N. Klein all were pinned in the dual and Monahan lost a 12-5 match.

Jan. 22 OA-BCIG/Herb Irgens Invitational The Tigers travelled to Ida Grove for the annual two day, 41st Herb Irgens Invitation on Jan. 22. The tough competition left the Tigers in 15th out of 26 teams with 75 points.

The Tigers had a few open weight classes, at 103, 130, 135 and 171, not

helping their team score.

“We finished 15 out of 25 teams which may not seem very high but with the level of competition and all classes of schools represented. It’s not a bad finish,” head coach Matthew Mentink said.

“We had 10 wrestlers competing of which seven are freshman and sophomores. Watch out for us in the years to come.

Everyone is noticing what we have and are impressed. We went into the Tournament with three ceded wrestlers, so if you look how things finished we had two wrestlers finish at their cedes Lucas was a seventh cede and got seventh place, Dalton was a first cede and got first.”

Dalton Peterson (189) was the only Tiger to claim gold. He worked his way quickly through the brackets, first pinning Tyler Fox of SibleyOcheyedan in 26 seconds, then Chet Willer of Akron-Westfield in 3:40 and Gabe Doornink from Sioux Center in 1:49 before taking out South Central Calhoun’s Colten Riley in an 8-0 major decision for the title of champion, with a 33-0 season record.

Gavvon Shafer (152) saw a good tourney, placing third. He opened

strong with two pins, the first in 3:13 and the second in 5:04 before losing by a 10-1 major decision to OA-BCIG’s Brent Stickrod. He fought back hard against MVAO’s Dylan Bailey for a quick, 30 second pin and beat out Zac Anderson from Cherokee in an overtime match that ended in his favor, 4-2.

“Gavvon’s really improving doing more of what he’s being shown in the room and working harder outside of practices and it’s translating into greater success,” coach Mentink said.

Lucas Hedstrom (112) also found himself on the winners’ stand in seventh. He took his first match in a 15-3 major decision but fell in his second in 1:28. A 12-6 win against KP’s Clint Donaldson led him to a 2:16 fall against Spirit Lake Park’s Zach Skopec. A default win against Graettinger/ Terril’s Austin Thompson gave him his seventh place finish.

Eighth place was earned by Kyle Kuhlman (215), a fact coach Mentink was proud of.

“We had one wrestler unceded that ended up with a eighth place, and that was Kyle,” Mentink said. “Kyle’s catching back up after taking a year off, but doing so at a

fast enough rate to give all his opponents tough matches.”

Kuhlman took two pins during the tourney, his first and third match, respectively in 4:21 and 52 seconds. He fell in the remaining three to end up seventh on the dual day tourney.

Other Woodbine wrestlers in the tournament included Tanner Hedstrom (119), Malachi Mentink (125), Mason Mentink (140), Matthew Monahan (145), Josh Matusik (160) and Spencer Ball (285).

“If we want to go to the next level as a team, we are going to have to get way busier from all three positions,” coach Mentink said. “Right now we are doing too many one and stop moves and we need to be doing something offensive every three seconds out there. We have to put two, three, maybe four moves together, to keep our opponents wrestling to counter or defend against us so that we can successfully accomplish our offense and win positions and matches. We’ve got two weeks to sectionals and we are doing everything possible to clean up the small details that will allow us to get to the next level. We should be peeking in all area’s just in time.”

Dalton Peterson was declared the OA-BCIG tourney champion Jan. 22.

Plea bargain in the works in motorcylists’ deaths ANDREW J. NELSON OWH News Service Prosecutors and defense lawyers are close to working out a plea bargain in the case of four motorcyclists who were killed last August by a pickup driver on Interstate 29 near Little Sioux.

The plea deal in the case of Andrew Schlichtemeier is not final, and a trial could still take place.

But a hearing on the possible plea agreement has been scheduled, one

From SECURITY Page 1 into place. Preschool parents have received information about preschool arrivalprocedures.

The policy also applies to any elementary or high school student arriving late and to those who take advantage of the school’s open campus lunch policy.

Students arriving late, such as after a doctor’s appointment, will follow the same protocol using only the east common doors on Normal Street. They may either be buzzed in through the security system, being let in by a faculty member, or call ahead with an approximate time of arrival.

“Society has changed and the safety committee and administration have met and discussed our concerns,” Elementary Principal Kathy Waite said. “We are moving forward with what the committee felt needed to be done to insure the safety of the teachers, faculty and students of the district.”

Woodbine administrators realize the security changes will not happen overnight, and upgrades to the system will be continuous.

“We have to make it safe,” Waite said. “We realize this will be a work in progress and we apologize for the inconvenience. But the safety and security of faculty, students and staff takes priority over convenience.”

The information also appeared in the Jan. 21 Cub News. Please contact 647-2227 or 647-2440 with questions or concerns.

Iowa farmland value sees increase

ISU’s Spring Ag Career Day set for Feb. 2 The spring version of Ag Career Day will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 2 at the Memorial Union on the Iowa State University campus.

of his lawyers said Jan. 18.

Schlichtemeier, 22, of Murray, Neb., is accused in the Aug. 9 traffic deaths of the motorcyclists near Little Sioux. The hearing is scheduled for Feb. 10, according to court records.

Steve Lefler, one of Schlichtemeier ’s attorneys, declined to comment in detail because a trial still may occur. But he said “both sides are working hard to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

Schlichtemeier is charged with four counts of vehicular homicide in the deaths of Jay Bock of Omaha, Neb.; Steven Benscoter of Pacific Junction; and Dale Aspedon and Dennis Chaney, both of Glenwood. The four were returning from Sturgis, S.D. Schlichtemeier was driving a pickup truck that authorities said struck the motorcyclists in a two-lane construction zone on I-29.

The Iowa State Patrol has said

Schlichtemeier’s bloodalcohol level measured 0.373 percent, more than 4½ times the legal limit.

He has pleaded not guilty.

Lefler filed a motion Dec. 29 asking the alcohol test results and any statements made by Schlichtemeier to investigators be suppressed because his client “was not competent to voluntarily waive any of his rights.”

A hearing on that motion was set for Jan. 19, but the motion was withdrawn Jan. 18.

From LAND Page 1 increase Mike Duffy, ISU Economist who conducted the survey said it is important to remember the time span when evaluating survey results.

“This has been especially true the past few years when corn and soybean prices have varied considerably,” Duffy said. “Monthly prices for corn averaged 37 percent higher July to November this year compared to average monthly prices from January through June. Soybean prices are 21 percent higher over the same time span.”

The highest land values were reported in Northwest Iowa at $6,356 per acre. The lowest values were in South Central Iowa at $2,690 per acre.

The highest county average in the state was O’Brien County at $7,148 per acre, up 16.2 percent from 2009. Decatur County had the lowest average at $2,085 per acre and the lowest dollar increase of $128 per acre. The greatest dollar increase was $1,152 in Wright County.

According to Duffy land values should remain strong at least for the next several months. Beyond that there is a fair degree of uncertainty with respect to whether land values can maintain their current levels.

“The volatility in corn and soybean prices and production costs lead to tremendous uncertainty and volatility in the land market, as historically reflected in the Iowa State survey. Land values were up 22 percent in 2007, down 2.2 percent in 2009 and up 15.9 percent in 2010. Since 2004, Iowa land values are up 93 percent,” Duffy said.

There has also been a substantial shift in the fundamental supply and demand situation for farmland, Duffy said.

“Over 60 percent of the 2009 respondents indicated there were fewer sales in 2009 compared to 2008.

This was the largest drop in sales reported in the Iowa State Survey,” Duffy said. “In 2010, almost three-fourths of the respondents said sales were either the same or less than 2009. This shows the slump in sales is either continuing or in some cases, worsening throughout the state.”

Legals Harrison County 4-H FIRST Lego League attending State competition After a storm interrupted season, three Harrison County 4-H FIRST LEGO League teams were chosen to participate in the State FIRST Lego League Championships on Jan. 15 in Ames, bringing home two second place trophies.

The BrainBots received the second place overall team trophy, made out of Legos, for their research and presentation.

Their research project involved working with engineers from UNL and actively doing research on creating a safer, more protective helmet for soldiers. This could translate into research that could add to safer football helmets, motorcycle helmets and other safety helmets.

The SEND JES team received second place overall team trophy, also made out of Legos, in teamwork, one of the most prized awards.

Sara Riley, a member of their team, also received a prestigious individual recognition, the Grace Murray Hopper Award for Outstanding Female FLL member exemplifying leadership, engineering skill and teamwork.

In December, the Western Iowa FIRST Lego League Regional Event had to be cancelled due to snow, so a drawing was held and three teams from Harrison County were selected to advance to the FLL Championship in Ames from the pool of teams registered.

Over 270 teams began the 2010-2011 FLL in Iowa. Besides Logan’s SEND JES and the Brainbots, the Fight for the Blind team from Woodbine Elementary also participated. All three clubs are part of the Harrison County 4H FLL program supported by the Iowa State University Extension Office in Harrison County.

This year the program had eight teams participating with three

in Logan, two in Woodbine and one each in Dunlap, Missouri Valley and Mondamin at West Harrison School. Sponsors for Harrison County 4-H FIRST Lego League teams this year were Bill Cunard, Culligan Water Conditioning of Missouri Valley; Missouri Valley Kiwanis; Logan Kiwanis; Woodbine Kiwanis; Cogdill Farm Supply; Hoffman Insurance, Dunlap; Do it Best Hardware, Logan; and Harrison County Extension 4-H. “The teams did a great job all day long as they completed their robotics matches, went through technical interviews on the design of their robot and the software that they wrote for missions, completed a teamwork interview and presented their research project presentations on their research related to their biomedical engineering topic they chose and researched,” ISU Extension Regional 4-H Specialist Dave Seilstadsaid said. “The chemistry in each team was so upbeat and reflected the great core values of FIRST Lego League as all three teams had cheers, great looking team uniforms, and worked together as a team. They learned what they discovered was more important that what they won, and they sure looked like they were having fun.”

Coaches for the teams were Bill and Bruce De Witt with the SEND JES team from Logan, Lori Lockwood with the BrainBots from Logan Elementary, and Don Groff with the Fight for the Blind team from Woodbine.

“A big congratulations goes out to their coaches for helping to guide the teams to be so well prepared for the competition,” Seilstad said. “The teams were well prepared and looked good even on screen as the Iowa FLL

Woodbine FIRST Lego League Fight the Blind team members include, front row, left to right, Michaella Hesman, Sierra Marshall and Claire Staben. Second row, Wade Vennink, Evan Lenz, Cameryn Schafer, Seth Gruver, Hailey Ryerson and Colby Andersen. Back row, Chakong Vue (Team Helper) and Coach Don Groff.

Championships were broadcast around the world thanks to Iowa State University Extension providing the Webcast coverage of the day broadcasting live from Howe Hall on ISU Campus.”

In additional, three teams from Harrison County 4-H FLL will be able to participate in upcoming competitons with Steve’s Liver Lovers from Lo-Ma Elementary, coached by Jean Nelson and Kathie Foreman participating in the Iowa FLL Showcase on Feb. 19 at Lewis Central School in Council Bluffs. Two teams, Robotics for the Cure 4-H FLL Team, coached by Don Groff from Woodbine, and the WHS Brick Masters 4-H FLL Club coached by Kim Nunez from West Harrison School, will participate in the Nebraska FLL Championship at the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland, Neb. on Feb. 19.

Seth Gruver and Colby Andersen of team Fight for the Blind prepare for a robotics match during the FIRST Lego League championships Jan. 15 in Ames.

Team Robotics for the Cure will be competing Feb. 19 at the Nebraska FLL Championships.

The Woodbine Twiner

Sports Boys win wild one against Ar-We-Va

Woodbine’s Davis Hackman, right, and Ethan Lenz, left, go for the block on Jan. 18 against Charter OakUte. The game ended 76-66 in favor of the Bobcats.

Photo: Dawn Powers JEFF POWERS For The Twiner Woodbine, 54: Ar-We-Va, 53 The Rockets came to Woodbine on a Monday night for a make-up game, which most thought would be an easy win for the Tigers.

In the first quarter the Tigers got off to a slow start but rallied late to take a 15-12 lead, with a balanced scoring attack, with five players contributing in the attack.

The second quarter would stun the home crowd as the offense and defense both left the building. The Rockets raced off with 9-1 surge and outscored the Tigers 20-5 in the second quarter. A lot of easy layups helped the Rockets take a 32-20 halftime lead.

Luckily for the Tigers, the defense and offense came out of the locker room to start the third quarter. Led by Davis Hackman’s 7 points, the

Tigers outscored the Rockets 20-11, reducing the Rocket’s lead to 3 points. The fourth quarter got crazy for the Tiger faithful. Trailing for the whole quarter and down by 2 points with less than a minute to play, Sam Powers stole the ball but missed an easy lay up to tie the game.

Following one out two free throw shots made by the Rockets, the Tigers were down 3 points. A missed 3 point shot and a foul put Powers to the foul line with three shots to tie the game. Making 2-3 of the foul shots, the Tigers were down 1 point with 14 seconds left.

Immediately on the Rocket’s in bound play, Ethan Lenz made a huge steal and an easy lay up to put the Tigers up by 1 point with 13 seconds left to play. The Tigers defense would hold the lead, preserving the Tiger win.

“I thought that our

guys really battled hard on Monday night and pulled together as a team and stuck with it. We really played composed and got the last steal by Ethan to score the final lay up with 13 seconds to go for our first lead of the night,” head coach Heath Stille said.

Lenz led the Tiger scoring with 13 points followed by Hackman with 11, Jameson Delaney with 10, Alex Klein with 9, Jacolby Ehlert with 7 and Powers with 4. The Tigers were 0-14 from the three point line, but still managed to shoot a 20-45 overall shooting percentage.

Ehlert led all rebounders with 8 followed by Klein and Powers with 5 each.

The Tigers committed 17 turnovers, mostly in the second quarter.

Charter Oak, 76 Woodbine, 66 On Tuesday night the Tigers traveled north to take on a Bobcat team that fell to Woodbine in their previous meeting.

The Tigers came out a little sluggish in the first quarter. Poor shot selection and too many fouls let Charter Oak take a 16-10 lead. The second quarter saw the Tiger offense pick it up a little, but continued foul trouble and poor defense let Charter Oak extend its lead to 35-26 at halftime.

What defense the Tigers had in the first half, it disappeared in the third quarter. There was no stopping the Bobcat fast break. As in the second quarter, the offense improved, but Charter Oak again extended its lead to 6444 by the end of the third quarter. Led by Jameson Delaney’s 8 points in the fourth, the Tigers played well and would fight back to within 6 points of the lead late in the game.

With some erratic officiating in the last two minutes, the Bobcats would get control and go on to win by ten points 76-66.

“After playing a tough game on Monday night I knew that our guys may be a little slow to start on Tuesday. We came out and had a tough time getting back on defense to slow them down on the offensive end of the floor,” head coach Heath Stille said.

“Our guys really stuck with it on Tuesday night when we were down by 20 at the end of the third quarter, but fought back and had it down to a 6 point game with 2 minutes to go and just could not catch a break over the final couple of minutes. I again was proud of how our team fought and never gave up when

it would have been real easy to do that after getting down by so much.”

The Tiger offense scored a season high 66 points, 24 above their season average of 42 points a game. They had four players score in double figures and two players with a doubledouble.

Delaney led all scorers with 23 points followed

by Ethan Lenz with 18, Sam Powers with 14, Davis Hackman with 10 and Alex Klein with 1 point. Sam Powers led all rebounders with 13 followed by Lenz with 10. The Tigers were 26-76 shooting and committed only 9 turnovers.

Riverside, 59: Woodbine, 44 Saturday afternoon the Riverside Bulldogs came to Woodbine to play a non-conference game. The Tigers would be short two younger varsity players for the first half, sitting out due to disciplinary reasons.

The Bulldogs took advantage in the first quarter jumping to quick 18-4. The Tigers first points came from Davis Hackman with 2:46 left in the quarter. Hackman would add another basket to complete the first quarter scoring. The second quarter led by Ethan Lenz’s 5 points would fair slightly better, but the Bulldogs would increase their lead by 3 points to make the score at halftime, 28-11.

The third quarter would see the Tigers offense improve but also would see the defense collapse as the Bulldogs outscored the Tigers 2210. Down by as much as 29 points, Jameson Delaney’s 10 fourth quarter points and the energy of the underclassmen, the Tigers rallied to outscore the Bulldogs 239, making the final 59-44.

“We came out slow again on Saturday afternoon and dug ourselves a hole once again. We did not have an answer for Ricky Williams,” head coach Heath Stille said. “I thought that our guys came out strong in the second half and battled back to make this a respectable game. I was happy to see the guys working together and communicating on the floor with each other through much of the second half.”

Sophomore Delaney and junior Hackman would lead all Tiger scorers with 13 points each followed by Lenz with 10 and Sam Powers with 8. At press time these stats are unofficial and no other stats are available.

Next week the boys and girls will go their separate ways as the Western Valley Conference tournament begins. Sandwiched in the middle of the tournament the boys and girls will travel to Mondamin on Friday for a regular season game with West Harrison.
