Snow make-up days, energy audit results announced Four snow days will be made up at the end of the year, and as of now, the last day of school has been set for May 26 LOIS ANDERSEN For the Twiner Snow days, the new locked door policy, the energy audit and board policy 603.6 were all up for discussion during

February’s school board meeting. Due to the district basketball game taking place at the school on Feb. 10, the board met early at 5 p.m. The meeting was called to order

by Board President

Joanna Shaw, with Amy Sherer and Mike Staben answering roll call. After approving the consent agenda consisting of the usual minutes, financial reports, agenda and payment of bills, the floor

was opened to Roger Kenkel who expressed his concerns over the school’s new policy of locking all doors during the day. While he maintained that safety was a priority to all, he pointed out the difficulties of having to use the commons entrance, which has a lack of daytime parking, to access the preschool/latch key wing at the opposite side of the building. The

board did point out the buzzer on the commons door was now working.

Technology teacher Shawna Harris presented February’s focus on education segment going over what the elementary students are currently learning in technology class. Both principals reported on the current ITBS taking place, stating the testing was going smoothly, the attendance was good

The ‘cool’est place in Woodbine

and the students were being encouraged to do well.

Elementary Principal Kathy Waite added there would be a child fair coming up in March, and kindergarten round-up plans were in the works. High School Principal Rick Shanks read a letter commending the high school wrestlers on their good athletic conduct, and stated he was currently See SCHOOL Page 6

It’s sure to be labeled as one of the ‘cool’est places in Woodbine for the remaining winter months. Photo: Nikki Davis Nikki Davis Editor If you have ever heard anyone from the City of Woodbine make the statement, “There’s nothing to do in town,” they obviously aren’t

looking hard enough.

Of course, the Woodbine Ice Skating rink might be hard to spot if you were just driving by it on Sixth Street. The rink’s technical address is 51 Sixth St., located between two

homes, but not too terribly far away from the sidewalk. It’s an idea and creation compliments of the Woodbine Optimist International Club of Woodbine.

“We thought about it last year, but it was too

late in the season to get it done and get people on board. Then it started snowing every day,” Optimist ice-skating rink spearhead and Optimist President Glen Leaders said. But that didn’t happen this year.

The Optimists dropped approximately $1,400 on a sheet of reusable ice rink material, and, through the help of volunteers, set it up. Then they filled it with water – about an See ‘COOL’ Page 6

“A newspaper is a circulating library with high blood pressure.” ~Arthur Baer

CHAMBER CONNECTION TONY SMITH WOODBINE MAIN STREET-CHAMBER ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE

Maintaining the Momentum

T

he Main Street Chamber membership drive is now in full swing. Board members are actively seeking renewals of current members, and the addition of new ones. So much has been done over the last three years; it’s really hard to believe how far we have come. Yet the majority of the effort is yet to come; completion of all facades, landscaping, new green initiatives, new lighting along Walker, Sixth Street improvement, amphitheater, rain gardens and the list goes on.

Of course, besides dedicated volunteers, it takes money for these projects to reach fruition, and that means members. The Main Street Chamber’s new membership level, Partner, recognizes the most important part of our community, its people. This level is for individuals/families. All the work around our community is for naught if we don’t support it with our pocketbooks. And this financial support is so much better then taxes collected by the government because it actually goes where you want it to; our downtown. Starting at just $25, this level, Partner, is also for all those Twiners who live elsewhere, but want to support their hometown.

The board’s biggest concern is missing someone as we are out signing up new members. Please call the Main Street Board Office and let us know you are out there and interested in supporting the Main Street efforts. Your community needs everyone’s support to “maintain the momentum;” don’t think your financial support, regardless of the amount, would be missed if we missed you.

Finally, mark you calendars for our Annual Meeting March 25 at Shadow Valley. Starting at 5:30, once again the past year’s highlights, façade award winners, volunteer of the year, and the famous desert auction will be held. Of course there will be lots of fun along the way as well. Tickets will be $15. Please call the Woodbine Main StreetChamber for tickets or more information at 6473434.

YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP ON..................

One step won’t take you very far, you’ve got to keep walking, One word won’t tell them who you are, you’ve got to keep talking; An inch won’t make you very tall, you’ve got to keep on growing; One ad won’t do it all, you’ve got to keep them going.

A constant drop of water wears away the hardest stone; By constant gnawing, Bowser masticates the toughest bone.

The constant cooing lover carries off the blushing maid; And the constant advertiser is the one who gets the trade.

A passing thought ...

It was stated that this appeared in another newspaper, but I have no surety of that. It should, however, (in my humble opinion), be read by everyone who remembers the “deceased.” If it had been a real funeral and I knew about it, I surely would have been one of the mourners.

Obituary We mourn the passing of an old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for certain how old he was, since his birth records were lost long ago in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: • Knowing when to come in out of the rain • Why early birds get the worm • Life isn’t always fair • Maybe it was my fault Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned (?), but overbearing regulations, were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using a mouthwash after lunch; a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened Common Sense’s condition.

He also lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even more when school were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost all the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims. CS took a beat-

MEANDERINGS LOU WAITE GUEST EDITORIALIST

ing when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home, and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was HOT. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility and his son, Reason. He is survived by his four stepbrothers, I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else is to Blame, and What’s In It For Me. Not many attended the funeral because so few realized he was gone. *********** So, to my friends and ex-readers out there in the great somewhere, greetings to all. We here in Woodbine are experiencing another winter which sometimes “tries men’s souls” . . . and women’s . . . and children’s [although not as much with all the snow days home from school].

A lot is happening here, thanks to some enterprising citizens who are dedicated to keeping this little town “on the map,” and doing a good job of it.

Many of the buildings are showing attractive, new facades, especially the old Odd Fellows Hall/Siebels Department Store Building [it really never looked this good when it was newer!] All of you my age would agree, I am certain. Come home, make us a visit, and form your own opinion!

Careful what you read ...

A

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

Bur oaks are important to Iowans, and particularly here in western Iowa, because they are a dominant tree species.

Vast stands of bur oaks both as sentinel trees in loess hills savannahs and in wooded areas have persisted and increased since European settlement.

These trees serve as the signature species of oak in western Iowa, so a threatened widespread loss is a big deal. On Feb. 9 a useful article appeared in the online ISU Horticulture and Home Pest News. Here are some summary

thoughts from that article, and the link to the full article is at: http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/hortnews/2011/2-9/buroakblight.html.

Bur oak blight (BOB for short) has been recognized in Iowa for about six or seven years, but the disease appears to have been present in Iowa for a much longer time. The severity of the disease has been increased recently – especially in western Iowa – because of the wetter spring and early summers we have experienced. BOB symptoms usually appear in late July, August and September if the weather is right. Leaves develop dead areas of tissue along the veins, with wedge-shaped brown areas at the tips of sides of the leaves. Old leaf petioles that remain on the branches through the winter are the primary way the disease overwinters.

The disease is caused by a leafspot fungus.

Other areas outside of Iowa have had oaks

EXTENSION OFFICE RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu damaged by the fungus Tubakia dryina, and until recently, that is the species that was assumed to be affecting our oaks. But on closer examination, the Iowa bur oaks are being infected by a new species of Tubakia, and of the five species that can infect bur oak, only one seems to cause the dramatic leaf loss and tree mortality. Add to that that not all stands of bur oaks seem to be affected, and even in infected stands, trees will vary in the damage caused. And finally, the most severe damage seems to occur to older savannah sentinel trees on uplands, while dense forest stands on bottomlands are less affected.

Individual trees that suffer substantial disease for multiple years can be weakened and die, but

again it is a slow process and trees vary in their response.

Dr. Tom Harrington in the ISU department of Plant Pathology is leading a research effort on BOB, and as more is learned, more information will be shared. You can see pictures of BOB symptoms and the full article at the Web site mentioned above.

Healthy heart tips from Alegent The American Heart Association and Alegent Health Community Memorial Hospital wants to remind you cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the United States.

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

On the average, patients who arrive in the emergency depart-

ment at Missouri Valley will receive an EKG in 1.5 minutes. The average in the state of Iowa is 9.9 minutes.

Over 110 patients annually come to Community Memorial Hosp. emergency department for treatment of chest pain, and we can very quickly determine if the source of the pain is truly a heart attack or not.

These are great numbers and Alegent Health Community Memorial Hospital is applying for national certification as a “Chest Pain Center.”

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

Workshops, offered at a minimal cost. The SBDC Smart Start Workshop is a comprehensive, onetime, two-hour session that covers the essentials of starting a small business. After the workshop, participants receive free counseling and mentoring to help them fulfill their dreams of opening their own businesses.

The workshop fee is $20 per business and includes one comprehensive start-up workbook.

This workshop will be held at the Rand Community Senior

Center, 100 S. Fourth St., Missouri Valley.

Please Call 712-2566552 or e-mail Coreen Trost @ ctrost@iwcc.edu to register.

Lincoln Highway Association thinks about summer MIKE BROWNLEE OWH News Service Though winter weather is at the forefront of many people’s minds, the Lincoln Highway Association is getting ready for summer. The association released the schedule for the Iowa Lincoln Highway Buy Way yard sale, which will run Aug. 4-6.

“We want to promote the growth of the Lincoln Highway, bring people in to Iowa and to the smaller towns,” said Deb Rothmeyer, who will coordinate the statewide yard-sale effort. “There are so many interesting things to see on the highway.”

This will be the second Highway Buy Way in Iowa, Rothmeyer said, after the state joined the regional yard sale in 2010. The event has been going on five years.

This year Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will participate, with Nebraska a “maybe,” Rothmeyer said.

“I’m working on Nebraska,” she said.

Last year more than 500 yard sales were held in 38 cities throughout Iowa along the highway, Rothmeyer said. She said she hopes to get all 46 cities this year.

Cities that plan to participate in 2011 include Rothmeyer’s hometown of Denison, Missouri Valley, Carroll, Ralston and Belle Plaine. A slew of others will likely join, Rothmeyer said.

The Old Lincoln

Highway in Iowa stretches from Council Bluffs to Clinton, passing through 13 counties.

Rothmeyer touted the sights along the highway, which includes a number of restored buildings, small-town, local restaurants and other landmarks.

Outside southwest Iowa, Rothmeyer mentioned the Tama Bridge.

“I’ve lived in Iowa my whole life but I just started traveling the highway,” Rothmeyer said. “I was amazed at some of the stuff along it.”

Rothmeyer said she’s putting together a flier mapping out yard sales, and groups, businesses or individuals interested in selling should contact her at 712-263-8356.

There is no cost to register.

Also along roadway, the 2011 Iowa Travel Guide features a picture from Old Lincoln Highway mainstay Hitchcock Nature Center.

“We’re very excited,” said Erin Kenney, community relations coordinator for Hitchcock. “We really think it’s great exposure for the nature center.”

Council Bluffs photographer Mike Whye took the cover picture of a pair of women on Badger Ridge Trail.

Kenney said nature center employees were alerted about the cover

by Whye’s wife, Dorie Stone, a volunteer at Hitchcock.

“We didn’t hear about it until she showed us

categories for elementary, middle and high school students, and college students, along with categories for 18 to 59year-olds and seniors 60 years old and up.

School board meeting, Feb. 10 ‘Cool’est place in Woodbine

From SCHOOL Page 1 working on a P.E. waiver form in accordance with board policy 603.6. The policy was later reviewed and discussed.

Superintendent Tom Vint went through the financial reports with the board, stating the general budget, hot lunch account and activity fund were all sitting with a good balance, and the PPEL fund was slowly growing. The school is currently looking into buying a new bus with the PPEL funding and eventually would like to repave the parking area on the north side of the school. Vint was excited to announce the unspent balance fund was finally sta-

bilized, with only one other school in the county sitting in a better position.

Vint explained it is important for schools not to dip into this credit line or to sit at a negative amount for over two years without repercussion from the state. His next goal is to get on top of the school’s cash flow. The school is currently looking into buying a used truck from the city to replace the current red, 1985 maintenance truck. He added the four snow days will be made up at the end of the year, and as of now, the last day of school has been set for May 26.

Vint continued with the results of the energy audit

made available to the school through the city’s recent green grant. The audit showed areas where more efficient lighting could be used, with priority going toward the wrestling room (old elementary gym area) and the fluorescent lighting in the elementary wing. The lighted exit signs over the doors, and the lights in the commons area and the new high school gym also qualified for updates in efficiency lighting, which Vint pointed out would most likely be at a later time. Rebates on energyefficient lighting are available to the school through the Municipal Light and Power. Vint thanked the

city for including the school in the energy audit.

The board moved to approve the 2010 audit, a transportation request for two buses to a Creighton game in which the school will be reimbursed gas costs for, a request to set a public hearing for an early start date of Aug. 17 for the 2011-2012 calendar year, approval of the 403(b) plan agreement and a transportation request from the Community of Christ Church for a bus on March 26 and 27. The board then went into closed session for negotiations. The next board meeting is set for 7 p.m.

March 10.

Plastic recycling expands in Harrison County From RECYCLE Page 1 polyethylene). Class one and two products only included soft drink, water, salad dressing, milk and juice bottles, peanut butter and jam jars and some shampoo and toiletry bottles.

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

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

“In the past, because we’re located in Woodbine, we had to travel to Council Bluffs or Omaha, Neb. to get to a recycling facility,” Barry said. “Then five years ago a recycle collection center opened in Missouri Valley and the Landfill Commission was excited to be a part of it. It cuts our trucking expenses and provides jobs for Harrison County residents and for the mentally and physically handicapped through Crossroads of Western

Iowa. That recycling facility is now collecting plastics three through seven due to an expanding market.

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

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

“Plastics are not biodegradable and any plastic in the landfill takes up space,” Barry pointed out. “Two to three hundred years from now, if you dig up that space where we buried those plastic bottles, that bottle will be there in the same form as we ran over it to compact it.”

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

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

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

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

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

This is why Barry and his staff ask that resident be responsible recyclers.

Tips include simple things that usually only take a few seconds.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They are available at 712644-3093.

Crossroads of Western Iowa is also available to answer questions regarding plastics recycling and offers tours of their facility at 1 Crossroads Pl. in Missouri Valley. Anyone with a question or interested in a tour is asked to call Jaimee Barnum at 712-6424114.

Andrew Schlichtemeier pled guilty Feb. 10 From PLEA Page 1 what to do with his life after prison, his lawyer says.

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

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

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

Each count carries a penalty of 25 years in prison.

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

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

Attorney Steve Lefler said Schlichtemeier intends

to devote his life after prison to helping those who suffer from alcoholism and “bipolar issues” – two problems that Lefler said his client suffers from and that will be reported in a pre-sentence investigation.

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

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

In a statement in court, Schlichtemeier named those riders – Jay Bock of Omaha, Neb.; Steven Benscoter of Pacific Junction; and Dale Aspedon and Dennis Chaney, both of Glenwood.

The four were returning

home from Sturgis, S.D. Schlichtemeier’s guilty plea brought only a small measure of satisfaction to those who knew and loved the motorcyclists.

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

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

“There’s so much evidence,” she said. “We all know what happened, and he needs to pay for it.”

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

Flanked by two of his lawyers, Schlichtemeier replied in a firm voice: “Yes, your honor,” and nodded.

He then offered a brief description of what happened.

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

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

“I want to know that he gets it, that he knows what he has done,” she said after the hearing. “I just want to know that he understands. I don’t think I ever will.”

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

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

From ‘COOL’ Page 1 inch at a time, allowing time for each layer to freeze.

“We set it up in stages,” Leaders said. “It took a couple weeks to get it all set.”

It was finally ready in mid-January and remains open to the public, free of charge, seven days a week.

It’s maintained by the Optimists who clear the snow and add layers of water to maintain a smooth finish. The maintenance stood to be a headache at one point, but the group has simplified the task since it opened.

“Jim Ricciardi shoveled the snow off of it by hand once,” Leaders said. “And we did use snow blowers. But now we are able to use Todd’s [Heistand] Bobcat that has a rotating broom on it to clear the snow. Mark Clark comes up and resurfaces it by putting a thin layer of water on top of it.”

The Woodbine Ice Skating Rink will remain open until … it melts. When the ice thaws, the reusable materials will be stored away until next year, when the group is hoping to move it closer to Main Street.

“We’re hoping to make it an annual event every year forever,” Leaders said. “Original we wanted to have it where the old bar used to be, over by the REC. But there were questions of liability with the city. But we’re hoping, for next year, we can relocate it closer to the downtown/Main Street area.”

The Optimists also claim no liability for rink risk takers. It’s an “enter at your own risk” rink.

The Optimists were able to absorb all costs involved, but the funds for the organization primarily come from one fundraiser – the Optimist Wrestling Tournament. The tournament is slated for Feb. 25 this year, in the Woodbine High School gymnasium with weigh-ins beginning at 3:30 p.m. and wrestling at 6 p.m. (Contact Carrie Murdock for more information or entry forms for this event at 647-2866.)

All the public needs to bring is ice skates to enjoy the rink.

“If your organization wants to use it, just let us know and we’ll make sure the snow is cleared and the ice is surfaced,” Leaders said. “We did it for cheap, fun, entertainment for anybody and everybody to use, open whenever they want to use it.”

TCA meets in court again From TCA Page 1 Anderson, Jim Perley, Rick Dilley and Deb Nelson.

• The Vittitoe faction subsequently filed a counter suit.

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

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

“Because of the impasse, we want the court to determine it,” said Jack Ruesch, attorney for the Vittitoe side.

“If parties can’t resolve a dispute, the court does. That’s why we have courts.”

The Vittitoe faction submitted a proposal to use bylaws modeled after the Iowa State Bar Association standard nonprofit corporation bylaws, according to a motion filed in Harrison County Court. The motion notes the parties were “unable to agree on any terms but the location of the annual meeting.”

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

In its response to the Vittitoe faction’s motion, the Coret side mentioned the impasse and little else. Both sides requested the hearing to settle the matter.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In a previous interview, Coret said Doumakes and she resigned their donor memberships, but not from the board of directors. Explaining the difference, Coret said the pair stopped their donation agreement with the organization.

Tigers take two to State The Woodbine Tigers may only have had two wrestlers qualify for the IHSAA Class 1A District Wrestling Tournament, but they also managed to have 100 percent of those two wrestlers continue to the State tournament set to begin Feb. 16 in Des Moines.

“I am very excited to get both wrestlers through to the State tourney,” head coach Matthew Mentink said. “They are both wrestling great and I feel are going in as high as they can be with skill/technique, strength, conditioning and mental readiness.”

Dalton Peterson, Woodbine’s seemingly unstoppable 189 pounder, remains undefeated after the District tourney, heading into state as a 47-0 senior, and finishing districts as the tourney champion.

Peterson first found himself on the mat with TriCenter’s Jacob Kramer, a 3412 senior. Peterson took the win with a 6-1 decision before facing LoganMagnolia’s 37-11 junior Chris Bridgford. Bridgeford had taking down Treynor’s Trenton Geer (29-4 junior) in a 2:59 pin in his first match.

Peterson was undaunted and made short work of the Lo-Ma junior, pinning him in a 50 second match for his title as 189 pound Class 1A District Champion.

Gavvon Shafer entered the contest as a 152 pound, 40-10 junior and found himself up against Tri-Center’s Scott Monhart in the first round at Districts. Shafer wrestled hard, as did Manhart, but Manhart didn’t have what it took to beat the Tiger as Shafer wound

the clock down through two full periods and the beginning of the third prior to pinning him in 5:10. Shafer then found himself in the rink with Drake Fanslau of Underwood, a 43-3 junior whose first match against El Horn-Kimballton/Exira’s Trey Sander almost mirrored Shafer’s, as Fanslau took out Sander in a 5:01 pin. Fanslau and Shafer entered a long and hard fought battle that stretched three periods, before Fanslau was declared the champion at 152. Shafer’s place on the brackets left him facing Manhart, whom he had already defeated, so Shafer was given the title of Class 1A District Wrestling Runner-up, and will join Peterson for a shot at the state title.

“Both have interesting bracket draws for State, and some might be less than optimistic, but we, meaning myself and our two wrestlers, understand that it doesn’t matter. Once you get to state, everyone is tough.

You either have to beat them at the end of the tourney, or the beginning, and it doesn’t make any difference to us,” Mentink said. “There are no ‘gimme’ matches at the state tourney and every match has to be wrestled one at a time.”

First round bouts at state place Peterson up against a Midland Wyoming sophomore, Ryan Leonard, who is heading to the State contest at 39-5. If Peterson continues his undefeated streak, he’ll find himself paired with Central Springs’ Andrew Nodtvedt (41-0 senior) or Manson Northwest Webster’s Ronnie Allbee

(35-10 senior).

“Dalton knows that winning one match at a time is the goal and, once we get through our half of the bracket, we’ll have an easier finals match compared to our quarters match and semi’s match,” Mentink said. “We’ll get to wrestle our toughest competition when we are fresh and we think that will be to our advantage, not our opponents’.”

Shafer, who stands at 4111 heading to State, faces Dallas Houchins of Interstate 35, a 32-0 senior. If Shafer comes out on top, he will face either West Branch’s Rilen Carew (40-3 senior) or Valley Community’s Robbie Kerr (36- 13 senior).

“Gavvon wrestled his first round opponent once this season just one week ago and barely lost a 3-2 match to him. So we think all the pressure’s on our opponent,” Mentink said.

The Tigers wrestle their first round beginning at 1 p.m. Feb. 16 at the Wells Fargo Arena, Des Moines.

“Thank you to all of our loyal fans for traveling to St. Alberts for Districts. Myself and the wrestlers greatly appreciated it,” Mentink said. “You got to see amazing wrestling all day long.

The gym was loaded and it was loud and exciting for me to coach in and for our wrestlers to wrestle in …

Our sectional proved how tough it really is.

Woodbine’s Sectional qualified 22 of the 28 State Qualifiers at Districts! Hope everyone can get out for a round or two at the State Tourney.”

Gavvon Shafer (152) takes on Tri-Center’s Scott Manhart at the IHSAA Class 1A District Tournament Feb. 12. Shafer defeated Manhart in a 5:10 pin. Shafer finished as runner-up at the tourney and is continuing on to the State tourney.

No-Cost tax preparation State Treasurer helps kindergarteners prepare for older and disabled Iowans now available Iowa Department on Aging Director Donna Harvey reminded Iowans the Internal Revenue Service has worthwhile initiatives that help older Iowans, low-income and/or disabled citizens with nocost tax preparation services.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites are free tax preparation locations where volunteers help taxpayers prepare their federal and state income and property tax returns.

Those eligible for assistance are senior citizens, disabled citizens, those who speak limited English and individuals with an income of $30,000 or less ($50,000 or less for families).

Another important program to help older Iowans is the Tax Counseling for the Elderly initiative. This is a specific program designed for older citizens age 60 and older with free tax counseling and basic income tax return preparation.

The AARP Foundation also offers free tax preparation services through the AARP Tax Aide program for low and moderate

income Iowa taxpayers of all ages, with special attention to people age 60 and older. IRS-trained Tax Aide volunteers provide services at a variety of sites across the state in public libraries, community centers, senior centers, meal sites, malls, fitness centers and church halls.

“Help is available to fill out and file tax returns. We encourage our older citizens and those disabled and/or on a fixed income, to use these two worthwhile programs to get the assistance they need to file their returns in an accurate and timely manner,” Harvey said.

Along with these two worthwhile initiatives, there is no-cost help available to military personnel. The Armed Forces Tax Council can provide free tax advice, preparation and assistance to military members and their families.

To find out about these programs, and where in your county help is available, go to: http://www.irs.gov/in dividuals/article/0,,id= 107626,00.html. Help is a phone call away and the toll-free phone number

State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald is providing free pencils to kindergarten teachers across Iowa through the Prepare for Basics Program.

Fitzgerald understands Kindergarten Round-Up is an integral part for both children and parents, which is why he is providing the materials free of charge.

“Our schools have the right idea when it comes to putting the children and parents at ease,” Fitzgerald said.

“They know that inviting families to check out their school six months before the school year begins will help kindergarteners prepare for their big transition. We offer the pencils as a small gesture of support for our schools.”

In addition to the pencils, this free program will provide information about College Savings Iowa, the statesponsored 529 plan created to help Iowa families save for future higher education expenses.

College Savings Iowa lets anyone – parents, grandparents, friends and relatives – invest for college. Iowa taxpayers can deduct up to $2,865 in contributions per beneficiary account from their adjusted gross income in 2011. (Adjusted annually for inflation.

If withdrawals are not qualified, the deductions must be added back to Iowa taxable income.) Investors do not

need to be a state resident and can withdraw their investment tax-free to pay for qualified higher education expenses including tuition, books, supplies and room and board at any eligible college, university, community college or accredited technical training school in the United States or abroad.

(Earnings on non-qualified withdrawals may be subject to federal income tax and a 10 percent federal penalty tax on the earnings, as well as state income taxes. The availability of tax or other benefits may be contingent on meeting other requirements.)

For more information about College Savings Iowa, visit www.collegesavingsiowa.com or call 888-672-9116.

Elementary principals interested in taking part in the Prepare for the Basics program are recommended to register on-line by visiting www.treasurer.state.ia.us and clicking on the financial literacy tab. To guarantee timely arrival, materials should be requested at least two weeks in advance.

They will be delivered directly to the participating schools.

Supplies are limited.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Look for Leaks Y

ou tell your kids they’re heating the Great Outdoors when they don’t close the door behind them. You could be doing the same thing—without even knowing it.

Your heated indoor air could be leaking out of your house through the tiny cracks and holes around phone lines, electrical outlets and plumbing pipes, as well as around windows and doors.

Take a walk around the outside of your house and you’ll see little gaps around window frames, wall-mounted air conditioners, exhaust vents and even the mail slot. Those leaks can increase your heating bill five percent to 30 percent.

Seal the leaks with caulk and keep the heat indoors where it belongs.

Iowa students and families get free FAFSA help Iowa students and families can get free assistance with forms required for federal financial aid at Iowa College Goal Sunday, held Feb. 19-27, in 25 Iowa locations.

Volunteers for Iowa College Goal Sunday will help students and their families fill out and file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid as part of a national program that helps students qualify for federal financial aid.

The FAFSA, which is available in free paper and electronic forms from the U.S. Department of Education, is the first step in the qualification process.

“This program is great for anyone who has questions or wants free help with the FAFSA,” Juan Garcia said, executive director of the Iowa College Access Network and state coordinator of the 2011 Iowa College Goal Sunday.

“It’s especially helpful for students who are lowincome or are in the first

generation of their families to attend college, or both.”

This year, Iowa College Goal Sunday is a week-long event, and will be held in 22 Iowa communities at the locations below beginning Feb. 19. Students or parents may attend individually, but it’s best if the student and at least one parent or guardian come together.

Certain paperwork is required to fill out the forms.

A number of Iowa organizations have partnered to plan and present Iowa College Goal Sunday. To complete the FAFSA, families should bring, for both the student and parent, the following: • Social Security number, driver’s license number and date of birth • Most recent federal and state tax returns • W-2 forms or other records of income earned last year • Current bank statements and investment records • Records of untaxed income received last year • 2010 business and farm records • Alien registration numbers if not a U.S. citizen Students and parents may also register in advance for federal personal identification numbers to electronically sign the forms and make future changes.

Heart attack warning signs Alegent Health would like to raise awareness during Heart Month, February.

One common heart disease is heart attack.

Some heart attacks are sudden and intense, but most of them start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Here are some of the signs that can mean a heart attack is happening: tightness, pressure, pain or burning in chest, shoulder, arms, back, neck or jaw; shortness of breath; sweating (may be cold or clammy); weakness, fatigue or dizziness; palpitations (skipping or fluttering in your chest); nausea and/or vomiting; pale or grey-looking skin; indigestion or feeling of fullness.

Treatment for these symptoms include: stop activity and lie down; if you have Nitroglycerin, take one tablet under your tongue; if symptoms continue call 911. Repeat Nitroglycerin every five minutes until reaching the maximum of three. Chew one adult aspirin or four baby aspirins while waiting for the rescue unit.

If symptoms do not go away with rest, call 911.

It is important to note that heart disease affects more women than men. More women die from heart disease than all cancers combined.

Some other statistics include: women are more likely to die than men in the first year after a heart attack; heart attacks are frequently unrecognized in women; women are not always treated as aggressively as men; women may delay seeking treatment; vague – not the typical chest pain symptoms; women often serve as the caregiver role-taking care of everyone else; and after menopause the protective effect of estrogens on your heart is gone.

Sports Loss in regional opener ends girls’ season

Boys lose two to end regular season

Boyer Valley, 55: Woodbine, 46 The Lady Tigers opened up regional play against county rival Boyer Valley on Thursday night. Win and you advance, lose and the season is over. Senior Rebekka Boer scored in double digits in her final game as a Tiger, ending up with 10 points. In contrast, the future of the Tigers, freshman Paige Hackman poured in 11 points of her own. That wasn’t enough as the Bulldogs offense was too much for the Lady Tigers.

Both teams came out in the first quarter in full court presses forcing several turnovers on each side of the ball. At the end of the first quarter, the Tigers felt like they were in the game being on the short end of a 13-7 score. The second quarter saw the Bulldogs get off to a quick start. The Lady Tigers finally slowed the Bulldogs offense down, but couldn’t cut into the deficit ending the first half down 32-17. Down by 15 points, the Tigers played very respectable in the second half. The Lady Tigers played almost even with the Bulldogs, eventually losing by 19 points with the final of 55-46.

Unofficially, with Hackman’s 11 points and Boer’s 10 points, other Tigers scorers included Shelby Vandemark with five points, Alyssa Blum with 5 and Shelby Hall, Lydia Payne and Kaitlyn Pulscher with 2 points each.

The Lady Tigers ended the season with a 2-18 record.

There were several games this year the Ladies were close to securing more than the two wins they achieved.

With a young team this year, if the Tigers improve the offense and take care of the ball a little better, there is no reason this should not be a better team next year.

“Over all we didn’t have the best season when it comes to wins and losses, but we made so much progress during the season,” Head Coach Megan Parker said. “This progress didn’t necessarily show up on the score board, but there were quite a few games that we came very close that no one expected us to even be in. I am very proud of the effort the girls gave this year.”

AHST, 54: Woodbine, 46 With Districts coming up next week, the Tigers were looking to gain some momentum when 1-18 AH-S-T came to Woodbine last Tuesday night. Even with Ethan Lenz’s double-double (19 points and 15 rebounds), it wasn’t enough as the rest of the offense went cold late in the game, giving the Vikings their second win of the season. The Tigers would end up shooting only 25 percent from the field and less than 50 percent from the free throw line.

The first quarter was an even fought battle, ending in a 12-12 tie. Not happy with the first quarter, the Tigers dominated the second outscoring the Vikings 12-3 to take a 2415 halftime lead. The third quarter shifted back to the Vikings as they cut 7 points off their deficit. In the fourth quarter the Tiger’s offense went cold, only scoring 12 points compared to the Vikings 22 points making the final 54-46.

Besides Lenz’s 19 points, Davis Hackman added 9 points followed

by Jameson Delaney with 7, Alex Klein with 4, Levi Brown with 3, and Drew Radloff and Jacolby Ehlert with 2 points each.

Helping Lenz’s 15 rebounds, Delaney and Hackman each pulled down 6 boards. The Tigers committed 16 turnovers.

played hard for three quarters and just ran out of gas in the fourth,” Head Coach Heath Stille said. “I was pleased with our effort and thought this was a building block to keep moving forward.”

Missouri Valley, 46: Woodbine, 32 On Friday (Feb. 11) night, the Tigers went on the road to Missouri Valley to take on a 4-16 Big Red team, again looking for some momentum heading into districts.

It wouldn’t happen as the offense continued to struggle only scoring 19 points through the first three quarters and being unable to stop the Big Red’s leading scorer. Jole Miller scored 26 points, well over half of the Big Red’s total, and he dominated the boards as he single handedly beat the Tigers.

“The score may not have ended up in our favor on Friday night, but I thought this was one of our better games from a team aspect that we have played in a long time,” Stille said. “I was proud of our guys effort and the way that we were able to execute on the defensive end of the floor. This was a good game for our guys to close the regular season out.”

For three quarters as the offense struggled and the defense played well enough to win, giving up only 29 points. Going into the fourth quarter down 29-19 the Tigers were hopeful to find some offense to go along with their good defensive play.

continue the season. The Tigers lost to Walnut on Jan. 8 in a 43-32 game the Tigers felt they should have won. The warriors will bring a 7-14 record into the game next Thursday night.

“We are going to hit the practice floor hard this week to try and find some consistency on the offensive end of the floor,” Stille said. “We are going to work on executing more effectively and looking crisp on the basketball floor. I think if we get everyone playing as a team and working together that we can make some noise in the tournament trail.”
