The Woodbine Memory Tree tradition continues NIKKI DAVIS Editor A Woodbine tradition was born in 1993 by the Woodbine Community Club. Though the Community Club no longer exists, the Memory Tree they created remains a staple of Woodbine’s holiday tradition.

The tree was created to honor the memory of Woodbine community members who were loved and lost.

“People just bring in

their ornaments and we take a picture of them and number them,” Woodbine Municipal Light and Power employee Jeanne Moores said. “Then we keep all the pictures in a scrapbook and anyone can look through the book to find the ornament, who it’s in memory of and who donated it.”

Jeanne herself has donated and hung an ornament in loving memory of her children.

Another employee,

now retired, Bonnie Waite, was one of the first to donate and hang an ornament. It as in memory of her husband.

“The Community Club came up with that idea that if we could put something up like the tree and then those that lost loved ones in the community could bring in an ornament and decorate the tree that way,” Waite remembered. “I was one of the first to put an ornament on Jeanne Moores, left, and Theresa Corrin hang memories on The Memory Tree. there in memory of my Photo: Nikki Davis See TREE Page 6

‘Bright Lights, Little City’

Woodbine Community School Barnes & Noble Bookfair Shopping at Barnes & Noble on Dec. 11 can benefit Woodbine Community School’s library NIKKI DAVIS Editor

Wouldn’t it be nice to holiday shop and support the Woodbine Community School at the same time?

Well, it is a possibility as WCS teams up with Barnes and Noble for the annual Woodbine Community School Barnes and Noble Bookfair from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Dec. 11 at the Mall of the Bluffs in Council Bluffs.

The beginnings of the third, fundraising bookfair are quite simple, as Woodbine Community School Librarian Maureen Allen pointed out.

“They sent us a letter three years ago and we decided to give it a try,” she said. “With budget cuts starting two years ago and the fact I wanted a way to update the high school library section, it seemed a perfect opportunity for us.”

There were no qualifying aspects or rules to follow. Allen just signed the school up. That first year brought in $1,300. The second, $1,100. The hope is to have the third year bring in more to help keep the library up-to-date. But, Allen mentioned, that depends on the WCS community, family and friends.

The City of Woodbine held their annual holiday celebration Dec. 4 with an array of activities. The event “We really need all the participation we can get. this year, ‘Bright Lights, Little City,’ featured an array of activities including a chili cookoff, gift mall, cook- This is so important to our school,” she said. “With ie walk, visits with Santa, a lighted parade, marshmallow roasting, a $1,000 give-away in Woodbine dollars the money we raise from the bookfair, we are able to and more.

Editorial

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

CHAMBER CONNECTION WOODBINE MAIN STREET-CHAMBER

Can I brag? Please?

C

an I brag? Please?I hope you were able to go downtown last Saturday for the “Bright Lights, Little City” Christmas In Woodbine celebration!

Fun, fun, fun! I hope your family felt the same way!

But in order to get to the “fun, fun, fun” there was some planning, work and worry invested in the details. . .and that’s exactly what I want to brag about!

You’ve heard of the various ways Woodbine’s Main Street designation has impacted our town: Dollars invested, facades improved, new businesses moving in and others expanding, vacancies filled, apartments remodeled – these things and more are reality due to our dedicated business community. The Main Street “Four Point Approach” is a winning method; four areas of focus for the four committees that study, plan, and act to make our business district and community a better, more vibrant place. And each committee is staffed with great volunteers!

The committee responsible for the Christmas In Woodbine celebration is PROMOTIONS. The Promotions Committee members have been studying, planning, and acting since July to ensure a lively holiday celebration for all Twiners and visitors to our city.

And I’ve just got to brag on them!

Anita Fouts, Liz Lenz, Lois Surber, Lois Andersen, Lauren Cox and Sharon Kindred were instrumental in planning the event.

Others volunteered their time for the laundry list of details, directing, and decorating it takes to make this thing go: Michele Cox, Bill Stephany, Lynn Clark, Daryn Morris, the City of Woodbine employees and Woodbine police, Paul Wilderdyke (ho, ho, ho) and Nancy Foutch. The elves, Andi and Jackie, at Thomsen Chiropractic, managed all the Woodbine Dollar Drawings. Thanks also goes to the Chili Cook-off bunch…by handing over a dollar I got some really great chili samples. Yum! The retail and service businesses who warmly greeted downtown visitors and stayed open late to kick off the Holiday Season and the many other volunteers who did this or that to make the evening go – THANK YOU! All the hardworking, bake-‘til-you-drop Cookie Walk volunteers set up at the just-finished Community Meeting Room in the old garage bay of the Main Street Station at the south end of Walker. A special “thank you” goes to the contractors (general, HVAC, plumbing, painting, etc.) that worked some late nights to make sure the Cookie Ladies could set up (they were literally putting away their tools as the cookies started rolling in from area churches!). The Community Meeting Room (rehab the result of a 2010 Iowa Main Street Challenge Grant) will be a great addition for all Woodbine folks.

All ages were delighted with the arrival of the reindeer down by the Cookie Walk and Santa’s Place.

Several local agri-businesses kindly sponsored the wildlife: Gary’s Ag, E-4 Sons, Natural Fertilizer Services, Horizons, Heistand Farms, and United Western Coop. The kids loved the tame little critters and parents got some very cute photos!

Of course, a highlight for the young ones is the lighted parade: thanks to the many businesses and organizations who went the extra mile and found the time to “light something up” and travel down Walker Street…some were goofy, some were gorgeous, but all put a smile on the faces of our children.

Surrounded by friends, family, and neighbors; shopping, visiting, cookie walking and chili tasting,…can you think of a better way to spend a Saturday evening in Main Street Woodbine?

To get to where I’m going

I

f you’ve been in the office lately, you might have heard me complain. I know, I know. I complain a lot – but this is actually a legitimate complaint.

Frankly, I’m a little worried about the weather.

Actually, not the weather itself, but on my options on how to get to where I’m going when Mother Nature decides she had a bad day and takes it out on Harrison County.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the I-29 bridge in Modale still remains closed. It was supposed to be open in October, but due to a subcontractor’s boo-boo, it’s not.

And there it sits – in all its broken glory. So, I have/had a few options, but none of which are desirable.

They have signs up for a detour. Yup. They’ll wind you all the way around the gravel roads. I never checked the mileage, but my neighbor did once. The gravel detour actually takes you to the bridge you see heading to Modale from Missouri Valley – the first one. You know, the one that’s about three to four miles away from the Modale exit? So, if I had to guess, you go at least three miles deep in and out, then probably four or so across … so 10 miles out of the way?

And – we won’t mention my TERROR of gravel roads. Ask anyone who has ever been in a vehicle with me while I was driving on a gravel road. (Ask the cheerleaders who witnessed me drive one of them home that lives on a gravel road. She’s a senior this year.) I’m lucky if I get above 10 mph.

Now … my hubby and I discovered two other gravel road cut throughs. However, one of those is a minimum maintenance road, so if it’s raining (or snowing), that’s out of the question. And, it’s about three miles longer – but wider, smoother gravel roads.

However, after two flat tires from driving on the gravel the past year or so, I’ve opted to avoid them altogether.

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

Therefore, I have a few other options.

I can head to the Valley on I-29 and shoot 30 over.

You see – I can get on I-29 southbound, but I can’t get to Modale when I come home northbound. I can also head to Mondamin on K45, then hit 127 through Magnolia and through to Logan and catch 30 to Woodbine. Then there’s taking K45/Austin Avenue south and head straight to 30 and over. And, of course, there’s always the deer-laden, pothole pocked 183 (The Pisgah Road) to Easton Trail and into Woodbine. But – I try to avoid that unless I’m not in a hurry or on the motorcycle.

There’s been construction on K45 south out of Modale. The bridge is closed. They installed gates on the Modale exit/entrance ramps and on I-29 by the Valley … so if the weather gets bad, I can go north.

Do you realize how long of a drive that is? Do you realize how much worse that will be in poor weather/road conditions?

I admit it. I’m not the best driver. (Please don’t ever ask me to repeat that – or admit it to my husband.) And, frankly, I don’t really like to drive. But when you throw all those obstacles in the way, blocking my travel options, I feel like I’m in a bad version of a video game … “Get Nikki To Work Safely.”

So I would like to question the IDOT … couldn’t you just have finished one project before starting the others? I mean, how am I supposed to get to where I’m going? Especially without spending an extra $100 in gas every week?

‘Tis the season to be prepared

I

write today about some general oddsand-ends topics that apply throughout the year, but reach special importance in December.

The holiday season for most means, visitors (or visiting), special events and parties, decorations, travel and (to me most importantly) great food.

Here are some plant tips to help in enjoying your holiday season.

Christmas trees: No single decoration has more impact throughout the year than procuring and preparing a Christmas tree for the home. But remember, unless you are using an artificial tree, these beauties are living, respiring organisms (at least for a while) that have been plucked from the plantation and hauled into a heated room, decorated and loaded with often heat-generating lights and left for several weeks. Here are some tips for safeguarding that tree for home use.

When you select a tree, look for one that has fresh, green needles and is still supple. Try gently bending the branch tips to test for freshness. Of course, cutting your own directly from the plantation is an ideal way to know it is fresh, but not everyone can do that.

Once home, remember that the living tree, like nearly all plants, has a vascular system that transports water and nutrients to the branches and needles. The moment

the trunk is cut, those water tubes are severed, yet the tree still transpires water through the needles. To prove that, try weighing a tree on a bathroom scale and then come back in a day or two and reweigh it. The weight loss is simply the water lost from transpiration. The warmer the room temperature is the more water loss for the tree, and also, use of heat-generating lights adds to the problem.

Think about the newer LED lights, or be aware of the added heat load and compensate. To help the tree stay supple longer, remember the vascular system of tubes at the cut end will dry out, and once they get air in them, the water uptake is done. So immediately before placing the tree in water, make a fresh cut about ½ inch up the trunk and immediately put the tree in water.

Keep water in the vessel, because if it dries up, the tree is done. As far as additives to the water to “freshen” the tree, I would focus much more on managing the water supply.

Poinsettias and other Christmas flowers: The most critical time in their life of beauty is the 10 or 15 minutes when they are carried outside to an unheated car. Remember poinsettias are tender perennials native to the tropics, and absolutely unable to deal even briefly with temperatures

EXTENSION OFFICE RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu below 35 degrees. The same thing goes for cyclamens, Persian violets, gloxinias, African violets, etc… you get the picture. So if you do have to transport them outside, make sure the car is warm first and cover them sufficiently to get from one warm place to another.

Once they are brought home, try to mimic the plant’s native growing conditions as best you can. Most flowering plants need pretty good light conditions, and water regularly, but not overly much to keep roots from dying from water-logging.

Remember each species has some different

requirements. A good example is Christmas cactus. To get them to bloom, they need short day lengths (fall conditions), and will bloom better if the fall temperatures are cool, say 55-60 degrees. If it is warmer than that, the plants will tend to remain vegetative, being less and less likely to flower.

Look here next week for some tips on food safety, especially considering the leftovers that are a great product of holiday meals.

Midlands Newspapers, Inc. sells Iowa papers Stephens Media Iowa, LLC Nov. 29 acquired the Ames Tribune, Boone NewsRepublican, Dallas County News, Nevada Journal, Ames About People & Advertiser, Tri-County Times, and Algona Upper Des Moines from Midlands Newspapers, Inc, a subsidiary of the Omaha WorldHerald Company. A purchase price was not disclosed.

Stephens Media Iowa is a subsidiary of Stephens Media LLC, a nationwide newspaper publisher whose holdings include the Las Vegas (NV) Review-Journal and more than 50 other publications from North Carolina to Hawaii.

Tom Stallbaumer, publisher of the Morning News of Springdale, Arkansas, was appointed publisher of the newspapers.

John Goossen, former publisher, has resigned to pursue other interests. All other employees of the newspapers are being retained and no changes in publication frequency or distribution are planned.

“I am pleased to welcome these fine newspapers into the Stephens Media family,” Michael Ferguson, Chief Executive Officer of

December 8, 2010

The Woodbine Twiner

Stephens Media remarked this morning at employee meetings in Ames. “We are newspaper people, first and foremost,” Ferguson said.

“These are high quality newspapers in dynamic markets.” “We are also pleased to be returning to the Iowa newspaper community” Ferguson said this morning in Ames. Stephens Media previously owned the Oskaloosa Herald and the Clinton Herald. Stallbaumer is a former publisher in Oskaloosa.

“We were fortunate to have found such a quality newspaper company to be the stewards of the Ames Tribune and Iowa Community Publications into the future” said Terry Kroeger, Chief Executive Officer of the Omaha WorldHerald Company.

“The Ames market is outside of our primary market area of Nebraska and Western Iowa, so it makes sense to generate cash from our investment in the Tribune. We are grateful to John Goossen and his team for the good work that has been done in Ames under our ownership.”

Dirks, Van Essen, Murray, Santa Fe, New Mexico represented Midlands in connection with the sale.

Community Murphy wins $250,000 in Iowa lottery

Farmers Trust and Savings Bank employee Betty Murphy is sure to have a happy holiday after winning $250,000 playing the Iowa lottery. Photo: Submitted

A Harrison County woman said she got no sleep the night she discovered she’d won the top prize of $250,000 playing the lottery’s “Cash Bonanza� instantscratch game.

Betty Murphy, 59, said when she scratched her ticket she had to get her husband, Barney, out of bed to make sure she was seeing things right. “I hit the number and I’m going, ‘Oh gosh, oh gosh!’� Murphy said. “I had to get my husband up out of bed. He couldn’t get back to sleep and I didn’t sleep that night.�

Murphy, who is from Dunlap, said she scratched the ticket late that night and couldn’t believe what she’d won. “I had to double check it to make sure,� she said.

Murphy said Cash Bonanza has been one of

her favorite tickets and is definitely her favorite now. She said she considers herself a lucky person and has won playing the lottery before. In 2008, she won a $10,000 prize playing the lottery’s “$35 Million Cash Spectacular� scratch game. “Never dreamt I’d win the big one,�

Murphy said.

Murphy said she hadn’t told any of her friends or family yet, but was sure word would spread after she visited her local bank. Murphy claimed her prize Wednesday at the Iowa Lottery’s regional office in Council Bluffs. “It was very hard. It’ll be out this afternoon after we drop the check off at the bank,� she said.

Murphy, who is a personal banker in Dunlap and Woodbine, said she

plans to save her winnings until after the first of the year, but is thinking about taking a trip.

She purchased her winning ticket at Fillin Station, 720 Iowa Ave. in Dunlap.

Cash Bonanza is a $10 scratch game. Players win a prize by matching any of “your numbers� to any of the “winning numbers� and win the prize shown for that number. If players find the “coin� symbol, they win that prize instantly.

If they find the “star� symbol, they win double the prize amount shown for that symbol.

Seven prizes of $250,000 are still up for grabs in Cash Bonanza, as well as 21 prizes of $10,000, 44 prizes of $4,000, 778 prizes of $1,000 and several thousand prizes of $500, $200 and $100.

The Woodbine Memory Tree Argotsinger From TREE Page 1 husband who died in 1991. We tried keeping a record of each ornament, but I don’t know if they still do.”

They do. And the scrapbook of ornaments in on display next to the tree.

The Memory Tree’s humble beginnings filled the branches with 40 ornaments by the end of December, 1993, beginning with an ornament in memory of Sandra Shepard Madison given by Ed and Arlene Barnum. By its decade anniversary in 2003, 142 ornaments adorned the branches.

Now, as Jeanne and fellow office manager Theresa Corrin adorn the branches, 160 branches will be full. The last scrapbook entry is an ornament in memory of Deloris Hull, given by her children Carol, Karen and Bob Jr. And while the tree and the ornaments were first handled by the Community Club and eventually the Woodbine Chamber, Jeanne and Theresa have assumed the duties of keeping the Memory Tree tradition alive.

So each year, at the beginning of December, they bring out the tree

and carefully unwrap the memories stored away in a box, and decorate the tree. They even made a new addition to the tree in 2010 – but it wasn’t an ornament.

New LED lights are now strung around the tree … energy efficient, of course.

“We even got a rebate on them,” Theresa said.

“And look how vibrant they are,” Jeanne added.

Any community member is invited to bring in an ornament to donate to be displayed on the Memory Tree. The memories will be hung until shortly after Jan. 1,

2011, when all the decorations will be carefully wrapped and restored until December next year.

“I would say it took off with such a bang because people thought it was nice. I think the community took such an interest in that because the people of the community were reminded about it and were able to remember their loved ones every year through that,” Bonnie said. “And now it has just become a Woodbine tradition.”

Contact Jeanne or Theresa and Woodbine Municipal Utilities at 647-2340 with questions.

WCS Barnes & Noble Bookfair From BOOKFAIR Page 1 readers because they know what’s coming out and want to read it … especially if it’s a new book in a series they are reading.”

But you don’t have to be an avid reader to want to shop and support the school. Barnes and Noble is offering the 15 percent on every dollar on all items, including books, music, movies, toys, games, puzzles, café items and more.

While the shopping items may be enticing, Allen and Barnes and Noble didn’t stop there.

The Woodbine High

School choir will be performing throughout the day. The Woodbine Tiger, lovingly called Leroy by students and some faculty, and Mrs. Claus with both be attending the event. Not to mention various community members reading in the children’s area.

“I’ll also be having high school helpers and our Tiger mascot handing out candy canes,” Allen said.

She’s also looking for more volunteers to help greet shoppers, help with gift wrap, read stories, play instruments or sing.

“If anyone is able to help in any way, please contact me at the school at 647-2440,” she said.

However, if shoppers are force to miss the event due to the hustle and bustle of the holiday, online shopping is being offered. From Dec. 11-14, that 15 percent on every dollar will be honored online at w w w. B N . c o m / b o o k fairs. Simply enter the bookfair ID code 10361509 while checking out.

Whether enjoying the activities at the store or shopping online, Allen sees the advantages – for

shoppers and the school.

“A real advantage to participating in the store or online is that you get your shopping done and you can help your school. As many people know, without the ability to read, success for a person is hard,” she said.

“You can even give a gift to a teacher. There will be teacher wish lists available if anyone would like to donate a book to the school – and the school will receive the book and the 15 percent.”

Please contact Allen at the school at 647-2440 with questions or to volunteer.

Box Tops for Education alive From BOX TOPS Page 1 stepped up to spearhead the collection, clipping and organizing of the various programs that can earn the school money, or save the school money on supplies. And it’s not just box tops she’s organizing. It’s just about every program she could find to enroll the school in.

“Some of the newer programs we’re trying are the Sunny Delight UPC codes and Our Family UPC codes. But there’s several others already in progress that can save or earn our school money,” Lantz said. “Already, one of the current projects we are working on is getting Box Tops for Education ready for redemption mailing. I mailed them out Oct. 20. The grand total was 9,817 box tops, which translates to $981.70 the school can order equipment with.”

Programs Lantz and fellow CUBS members and teachers are searching for include: • Land O Lakes: Gallon jug caps, provides funding for the school. Simply remove the cap (lid), no need to turn in the jug or remove the sticker from the cap (lid). For each cap submitted, Land O Lakes will pay the school 5 cents. Caps must be thoroughly rinsed is the only stipulation.

• Labels for Education with Campbell’s soup: Simply save all UPC’s including the Campbell’s man.

Provides supplies for the school. CUBS is currently collecting to mail by Dec. 31 to take advantage of a double points program. These points will be utilized to purchase jump ropes and balls for the physical education classes at the school. Campbell’s also offers bonus programs for older students based on volunteerism and we are currently looking into these opportunities.

• Box Tops for Education: Provides playground equipment for the school. Simply

save just the box top logo.

• Our Family: Simply save UPC’s from these store brand products found at No Frills.

Provides funding for the school.

• Best Choice: Simply save UPC’s from these store brand products found at Foodland.

Provides funding for the school.

• Sunny Delight UPC’s: 20 UPC’s equal 20 new books for a teacher’s classroom each year. The books are age appropriate to the grade.

Simply save just the UPC’s.

• Nestle water bottle labels: Provides healthy sporting equipment or healthy field trips for the school. Simply save the nestle label, no need to turn in the bottle.

• Tyson Project A Plus: Save Tyson chicken Project A Plus tear strips.

Provides funding for the school. Simply save just the tear strip from the bags.

• Pop tabs: Provides funding for the Ronald McDonald House.

Simply save just the pop tab from the can, no need to turn in the can.

• Recycling of old printer cartridges and cell phones: Provides funding for the school.

It’s the Woodbine public that has the easy part – remembering to save the various UPC symbols, caps or tops.

The hard part of it is left to Lantz and a faithful group of volunteers.

What most people don’t realize about the program are these money saving endeavors are quite specific on how and when the items need to be redeemed.

• Yoplait Yogurt Lids: Through Dec. 20, you can hand in your specially arked pin lids. Yoplait

will donate 10 cents to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This will give the school bonus Labels for Educaiton points for volunteerism.

• Kellogg’s Movie DVD Offer: Wave 10: Through Mar. 1, tokens found ont eh back panel of specially marked Kellogg’s products and movies from Kellogg’s Movie Lovers Collection will be given to the school library.

• Pizza Ranch: Save the cardboard wagon wheel located on the front flap of the pizza nd chicken boxes. Pizza Ranch will donate 25 cents to the school for each wheel.

• Casey’s: Remove the proof of purchase fromthe front flap on the pizza box and proofs will be used to purchase pizzas for school functions.

“Like the Box Tops program. They all have to be trimmed and then banded in groups of 50,” she said.

It may sound trivial, but it’s not as easy as one would think. Lantz was handed shopping bags full of miscellaneous program parts and pieces and left to rinse milk caps, trim hundreds (almost thousands) of box tops and UPC codes and more.

Fortunately, she has some faithful followers, and they are currently caught up and seeking more work.

“My mom, Gwen Mullinnix, is my master trimmer,” Lantz said.

“She’s retired and has the time. And I have a ‘crew.’ Miss Megan and her two associates have agreed to band the box tops in groups of 50.

CUBS President Laura Nelsen has also been helping band and my master gatherer is

Maureen Allen. She gathers the items from the teachers. Now my mom’s scissors are getting cold and the crew has nothing left to organize and we would love more work from the community, please.”

Lantz will be checking with Woodbine teachers for the items.

The teachers receive the items from their students. And the students are encouraged to bring the items in. In fact, there’s a bribe on the table.

CUBS hosts a pizza party for the class that brings in the highest number of items first semester and treats the highest bidders second semester are treated to ice cream at the Dairy Sweet.

Money previously received from these programs has been used to purchase items like the new rug and chair in the elementary side of the school’s library, a DVD camera, a chair for the high school library and more.

It’s those items and reasons alone that Lantz and her fellow CUBS members are willing to continue the program.

And hopefully see an increase in their numbers.

“We are asking the community for their help in supporting the school’s teachers and student body. Please save the UPC’s, caps, pop tabs and printer cartridges,” she said. “They are all worth money to the school and the pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald house. Please give them to any school aged relative or neighbor to turn in at the school.”

Contact Karen Lantz if you have questions regarding the collection fundraisers at 647-2065.

retires After 16 years as Harrison County Treasurer, and 30 years working in county government, Vicki Argotsinger is ready to retire.

From ARGOTSINGER Page 1 initiated the county to let the Treasurer’s Office start issuing driver’s licenses.

“Before that, someone from DOT would come to Logan once a week. On Thursdays, I think. And that was the only time you could get your license,” she said. “I initiated the driver’s license station in Harrison County and worked to get it.”

Other changes within those 16 years include relocating the office from their second floor office, to the first floor, where all the departments were located together, simplifying communication.

“We used to be in three separate offices on the second floor. Now we’re located in this office, where everyone is in one office,” she said, smiling as she looked around.

She also initiated extended hours of the office, opening the doors to the Treasurer’s Office at 7 a.m. instead of 8 a.m., sighting the point was to help those that commuted out of town.

“It made it easier for those working in Omaha to come in earlier in the morning,” she said.

Then there’s the technology she’s seen change.

The Treasurer’s Office offers county residents the options to pay for vehicle renewals and taxes online. And, another initiated feature by Argotsinger, the ability to pay by credit card or debit card at the counter. And the computers, now located at every desk, as well as the front counter, offers information at any employee’s fingertips.

It’s those employees she considers herself lucky to have worked with through her 16 years. All of them.

“It’s unique,” she said. “I’ve had the same employees since 1994. We had to hire new employees to work the driver’s licenses, but that’s all. And three of those employees worked for Veronica before me. I’ve been very fortunate to keep all that knowledge here.”

It wasn’t the employees or the technology that offered Argotsinger the most difficult challenge during her tenure. It was switching over the motor vehicle programming itself.

“We had to go to a new, state operated program. The state dictated what we had to do,” she said, her face expressing the memory of the change over. “But now it’s just wonderful. It’s easier.”

But now, after 16 years, through initiatives and changes, Argotsinger is handing her legacy down to current employee Renee King.

To honor her 16 years in office, an open house is being held from 2-5 p.m. Dec. 8 at the Harrison County Courthouse.

“I’ve enjoyed serving the public,” she said.

“And meeting people. I’ll miss the interaction with the people.”

She intends to use her retirement spending time with her family.

“I don’t have any plans to do anything at this point,” she said. “I have seven grandchildren and my in-laws and mother live in Woodbine, my three children live close and I’d like to spend more time with them. As well as with my husband, Gary.”

And when it comes time to renew her license, she’s prepared for what’s to come.

“It’ll be different. I’ll probably be that customer that will forget to bring what I’m supposed to,” she joked. “But it will be great to see everyone.

This is a transition I’m looking forward to.”

The Woodbine Twiner

Sports Tigers take first season tourney Dec. 4 a two for a near fall, giving South West their first three team points. Kuhlman, 215, fell in the first period, giving the Warriors their remaining six points.

In their second dual of the evening, the Tigers took the lead early against Treynor, with Malachi Mentink, 125, Austin Quick, 130, and Nate Thompson, 135, taking six points each in forfeits.

Sophomore Mason Mentink, 140, took the quickest against Treynor’s junior Nick Carolus in 52 seconds. Junior Gavvon Shafer, 152, managed a 1:33 pin, sophomore Darin Peterson, 171, managed a 1:42 pin. Tanner Hedstrom, 119, and Josh Matusik, 160, managed a second period pins.

Dalton Peterson, 189, won his match in a 9-6 decision and Lucas Hedstrom, 112, added six for the team in a forfeit.

Gage Lutz, 145, and Spencer Ball, heavyweight, both fell in first period wins. Kyle Kuhlman, 215, lost by a 6-2 decision and Boyer Valley wrestler taking the mat for the Tigers Alex Whiteing, 103, lost in

Nov. 30 The Woodbine Tiger wrestling team opened their season with two, dual wins Nov. 30 against the Treynor Cardinals and South West Warriors.

The Tigers easily took the win against South West, ending the dual 70-9.

“South West was pretty light, being open in seven weight classes,” head coach Matthew Mentink said. “And we’ve been there.”

Second period pins were delivered by: Quick, 130, 3:07; Mason Mentink, 140, 2:35; Peterson, 189, 2:19; and Spencer Ball, heavyweight, 3:51.

Malachi Mentink, 125, won by an 18-6 major decision and T. Hedstrom, 119, Thompson, 135, Nate Rudd, 145, Shafer, 152, Matusik, 160, Whiteing, 103 and L. Hedstrom, 112, each earned six points for the Tigers due to forfeits.

Darin Peterson, 171, lost in a close 4-1 match, with all points earned by both parties in the third period.

Peterson managed the escape, but opponent Austin Hansen took two for the reverse followed by

a 17-3 technical fall.

The Tigers easily won the dual at 57-19.

“This was a good start to the season,” Mentink said. “I was a little worried about their conditioning and what shape we were in. But they looked in better shape than both the teams we faced. But the more you get those three period matches early in the year, it helps you know where you are and what you need to do before the next dual or tournament.

And we ended up with nine pins out of 17 matches. That show’s we’re pretty aggressive, too.”

Dec. 2 Two easy wins followed Nov. 30’s against AHST at 75-6 and E-EHK at 72-12.

“There’s a lot of open weight classes,” Mentink noted.

Open weight classes offered forfeits to Dalton Peterson, Kyle Kuhlman, Spencer Ball, Alex Whiteing, Lucas Hedstrom, Tanner Hedstrom, Malachi Mentink and Austin Quick.

Out of six matches wrestled, four took pins: Gavvon Shafer, 152, 5:45; Josh Matusik, 160, 1:53;

Darin Peterson, 171, 2:42; and Nate Thompson, 135, 3:02. Mason Mentink, 140, won his match by a narrow escape, giving him the one point edge over Austin Fink for a 6-5 decision.

Nate Rudd, 145, fell in the second period in the final match of the meet, giving AHST their only six points.

E-EHK’s dual looked similar with forfeits being delivered to Kuhlman, Spencer Ball, Whiteing, L. Hedstrom, T. Hadstrom, Malachi Mentink, Quick, Thompson and Mason Mentink. Three of five who saw mat time took pins: Darin Peterson, 171, 1:20; Dalton Peterson, 189, 1:46; and Shafer, 152, 3:20.

Matusik, Woodbine’s first wrestler on the mat, fell in the third period with only 40 seconds on the clock. He was leading in points until then. Gage Lutz and Taber Andersen were tied in the first period, until Lutz also fell in the second to last match of the evening.

Dec. 4 The Woodbine Tigers ended their first week of the wrestling season with a tourney win at the Treynor Cardinal Invitational Dec.

4. Total, the Tigers tallied four first place finishers, one runner up, four third, one fourth and two fifth.

Freshman Lucas Hedstrom, 112, worked his way down the brackets, taking his first opponent out in a 1:32 pin and winning the championship with a second pin in 5:12.

In 140 pounds, sophomore Mason Mentink wasted no time when he first stepped on the mat, taking a 37 second pin. Another quick pin, 44 seconds, followed.

In the championship ring, it took more time, but Mentink still came out with a 4:48 pin. Fellow sophomore Josh Matusik followed suit in 160, taking a 1:36 pin his first time in the ring for the day. A 1:24 pin followed and another in the championship ring in 2:56.

Senior Dalton Peterson took two quick pins in 50 seconds and 1:47 to start the tourney off. In the championship ring, Peterson was better matched and denied a pin – but shutout his opponent when all was said and done in a 6-0 decision.

Runner up junior Gavvon Shafer, 152, didn’t

waste time with the quickest pin for Woodbine in 26 seconds. His second match left him the winner at 6-0 with all points being awarded in the second period. During the championship match, Shafer was tied with Jake Lewis of St. Albert after the first period, 2-2 and pulled ahead in the second 4-2. halfway through the third, Shafer was still ahead, 7-4, but the reversal and near fall that followed left Shafer with the loss by a 9-7 decision.

Earning third at the tourney was: Tanner Hedstrom, 119, 4:36 fall; Malachi Mentink, 125, 42 second fall, 2:03 pin, 3:39 pin; Darin Peterson, 171, 1:27 pin, 57 second fall, 6-0 decision; and Kyle Kuhlman, 215, 54 second pin, 5:27 fall, bye, 14-5 major decision.

Heavyweight and a senior new to the team finished fourth after a bye, 3:18 fall, 4:52 pin and 9-7 loss. Alex Whiteing, 103, and Nate Thompson, 135, both earned fifth during the tourney.

Other wrestlers included Austin Quick, 130, and Nate Rudd, 145.

Possum Lodge Christmas Trees

Open weekends 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Beginning Friday, Nov. 26th Located 1 1/2 miles east of Woodbine on Airport Road (F32), then 1 1/2 miles south on Sawyer Trail Cut your own tree • Fresh wreaths Denny Stoner ~ 647- 2459

BOYS The boys started the season with three games, all against 2A schools. With four starters gone from last year, the Tigers showed their inexperience in losing all three games. Turnovers, a lack of rebounding, and poor shooting were the keys in all three losses.

The Tigers starters this year are Davis Hackman, Ethan Lenz(only returning starter), Alex Klein, Jameson Delaney and Jacolby Ehlert. This team is basically four guards and a small forward. The Tigers will have to develop a way to win with a small team.

Westwood-Sloan, 59: Woodbine, 27 Class 2A Westwood Sloan came to Woodbine on Nov. 29 to take on the Tigers in a non-conference game.

Woodbine played respectable in the first quarter and was only down 15-8. The second quarter saw Tiger turnovers and cold shooting turn into only 2 points.

With the Rebels scoring 14 the halftime score was 2910. The second half saw much of the same. The tigers were outscored by 6 points in third quarter and 7 in the fourth and never mounted any kind of a comeback. The Tigers

would fall 59-27. The Tigers were dominated inside the basket as the Rebels made most of their points underneath the basket.

The scoring was balanced for the Tigers. Davis Hackman led the team with 6 points followed by Jameson Delaney, Alex Klein and Ethan Lenz with 5 points each. Off the bench Sam Powers led all rebounders with 10 followed by Jacolby Ehlert with 4. The Tigers committed 13 turnovers and were 10-48 shooting.

Tri-Center Neola, 68: Woodbine, 28 The Tigers went on the road Dec. 2 to take on class 2A Tri-Center in a non-conference game. Tri-Center is a well coached team that has usually given Woodbine problems in the past years. This game did hold true to that history.

The Tigers would get down 18-8 after the first quarter and outscored by 15 in the second quarter making the halftime score 40-15. The Trojans would continue to outscore the Tigers by 12 in third and 3 in the fourth quarter making the final 68-28. A key to the Tigers woes was turnovers, as they committed 30 in the game. With 30 turnovers, that is 30 times down the court that the team doesn’t get a shot off.

Being out rebounded 38-

27, the offense could never mount much of a threat.

Scoring leaders for the Tigers were Ethan Lenz with 8 points followed by Alex Klein and Jacolby Ehlert with 5 points each, and Sam Powers and Davis Hackman with 4 points each.

All tied with 6 rebounds each were Klein, Ethan Lenz, and Powers coming off the bench. The Tigers were 10-36 shooting on the night.

West Monona, 79: Woodbine, 53 The next night, Dec. 3, the Tigers went on the road to take on class 2A West Monona in Onawa. The Tigers showed significant improvement on the offensive side of the ball, scoring almost twice what they scored in each of the first two games. Though the Tigers would struggle with 24 turnovers they did create 17 steals on the defensive side.

For the first time the Tigers had two players score in double digits.

Jameson Delaney and Davis Hackman each scored 14 points followed

by Alex Klein, Ethan Lenz and Sam Powers with 8 points each. Jacolby Ehlert led the team with 9 rebounds followed by Lenz with 8, Klein with 7 and Powers with 5.

The boys will get three chances this week to pick up that first win. Charter

The holiday season is always a busy time of year, so you’re probably pretty busy.

But it is important to take some time now to evaluate year-end financial moves that may be beneficial in preparing for your financial future.

Which year-end moves should you consider? You will want to talk to your financial advisor and tax and legal professionals first, but here are a few ideas to get you started: *Boost your IRA contributions. You have until April 15, 2011, to fully fund your IRA for the 2010 tax year, but the sooner you finish with your 2010 contribution, the quicker you can get started on your 2011 contribution — and the earlier in the year you fund your IRA, the more time you give your account the opportunity to grow. * Put more money into college savings plans. If you have a 529 college savings plan for yourself or someone else, consider putting more money in before year-end.You can gift up to $13,000 ($26,000 per married couple) per person per year without gift tax consequences. However, this must be accomplished by year-end. * Be generous. If you’ve been thinking of making charitable gifts, don’t put them off any longer. As long as you make a donation to a qualified charity before the year ends, you can claim a deduction on

your 2010 tax return.

For example, if you donate $100 to a charitable group [either a religious organization or one that has received 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service], and you’re in the 25% tax bracket, you can deduct $100 (with a tax benefit of $25) when you file your taxes for 2010, providing, of course, that you itemize. If you donate stocks or other types of assets, you may also be able to save on capital gains taxes, because it will be the charity, not you, that eventually sells those assets. *Sell your “losers.” If you own investments that have lost value since you purchased them, you can sell them before 2010 ends and then use the tax loss to offset capital gains you may have earned in other investments. If you don’t have any capital gains, you can use up to $3,000 of your tax losses to offset other ordinary income. If your loss is greater than $3,000, you can “carry over” the excess and deduct it from your taxes in future years. However, if you then want to repurchase the investment you sold, you’ll need to wait at least 31 days to avoid violating the IRS’ “wash sale” rules. *Take capital gains. In 2011, the tax rate on long-

Oak and Walnut will visit Woodbine on Tuesday and Saturday and the Tigers will go on the road Fri. to take on IKM in Manning.

GIRLS Tri-Center, 68: Woodbine, 48 The girls opened their season against class 2A TriCenter on the road. The lady Tigers came up 20 points short despite of a strong performance by Justina Royer. Royer led the team with 27 points and 6 rebounds. Following Royer in scoring were Shelby Hall with 6 points, Kaitlyn Pulscher, Paige Hackman and Bekka Boer with 4 points each. The Lady Tigers committed 21 turnovers in the loss.

West Monona, 49: Woodbine, 31 The next night the Lady Tigers traveled to Onawa to take on class 2A West Monona. The Lady Tigers showed a better defensive effort giving up 19 points less but with 30 turnovers only scored 31 points. A 2 point third quarter didn’t help as the Lady Tigers lost 49-31. Kaitlyn Pulscher scored in double figures with 12 points to lead the scoring followed by Paige Hackman with 7 points, Justina Royer with 6 points and Bekka Boer with 5 points. Royer led all rebounders with 10 followed by Pulscher with 8, and Boer 6 rebounds.

The Lady Tigers will travel with the boys team and play the same schedule this week.

term capital gains is scheduled to increase to 20% for most investors, up from the 15% rate it’s been the last several years. If you have stocks or other appreciated assets that you were thinking of selling in the near future, you might want to do so before the year comes to a close.

However, it’s generally not a good idea to make investment decisions strictly because of tax consequences. If your appreciated assets are still a part of your overall financial strategy, you may be better off holding them for the long term, even with a higher capital gains rate.

Considering these moves before the year ends may help you better prepare to address you financial picture in 2011.

Iowa KidsNet to hold informational meeting for faster care and adoption Iowa KidsNet, the statewide organization that recruits, trains, licenses and supports Iowa’s foster and adoptive families, will hold an information session in Council Bluffs on Dec. 14 for individuals interested in becoming foster

or adoptive parents.

Foster care is the temporary placement of children with families outside of their own home due to abuse, neglect or other family crisis situations. The goal is for loving families to provide children with a

safe, stable and nurturing environment. There is no typical foster family – foster families can be single, married, homeowners or renters and can come from all racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds.

This information ses-

sion gives attendees a basic overview of the process involved in foster care and adoption and an understanding of the characteristics of children in the child welfare system. There is no obligation to continue in the process by

attending.

In 2009, the average number of Iowa children in foster care, shelter care or a highly structured group care placement in any given month was nearly 3,400 children.

To register for an

upcoming information session or to learn more, call Iowa KidsNet at 800-243-0756 or visit www.iowakidsnet.com to see future session dates. Registrants will receive an information packet to fill out before attending the session.
