for a year “overseas” as an exchange student. This year, beginning Aug. 6, the Dunlop’s were the ones “overseas” for two weeks, reuniting with their one-year exchange daughter.

The plane ride was an exhausting one, and about 14 hours long. However, the Dunlop’s destination proved

to be a cross between a family reunion and a vacation as they saw Deni jumping up and down at the airport gate when they arrived.

“Customs was relaxed there,” Annette said. “And we just went through and there’s Deni jumping up and down and crying. She was in front of the barrier and her dad was behind her, video taping. She just grabbed us and took turns hugging us.

She went through each of us twice.”

The feeling of family was reciprocated.

Editorial

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

CHAMBER CONNECTION MAIN STREET-CHAMBER LYNN CLARK

Showing off Woodbine’s (fall) colors “A

utumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.”

(William Cullen Bryant).

October is upon us.

The fields around Woodbine are changing from green to gold.

Driving through Woodbine, you notice the summer flowers starting to fade and the fall flowers gathering color. The leaves in the trees are starting to change from green to the most beautiful fall colors as well.

Every fall I am always in awe of the beauty that surrounds us. Iowa is such a beautiful place to live.

And how lucky are we to live nestled in the Loess Hills. So many come to visit from miles around to view the beauty we see every day first hand.

So it wasn’t shocking that while searching through the Main Street Iowa Web site, I came across a photo contest for Iowa. It is the Fall Photo Contest 2010. The contest runs Sept. 24 through Nov. 5. Anyone can submit photos that feature Iowa. The five winning photos will be displayed on the homepage of www.traveliowa.com for the week of Nov. 15-19. You can go to the traveliowa Web site and get all the details.

This would be a great chance for all you photographers to go out there and get great shots of Woodbine in the fall to submit to the contest while enjoying a lovely fall day. What a great way to showcase what Woodbine and the surrounding countryside has to offer this time of year. Photos of the fields surrounding Woodbine ablazened in gold.

Photos of Willow Lake and its surrounding beauty.

Photos of the historical brick streets aligned by trees decorated in their fall attire. Be creative!

Hopefully, we have a long fall to enjoy and the farmers have a safe and bountiful harvest.

I will be watching the traveliowa Web site for your pictures. Be sure to go onto the Web site even if you don’t submit a photo and vote.

Donning the duds D NIK’S KNACKS espite the rain, cold and slowness to the beginning of this year’s Applefest, the event still brought visitors from near and far to Woodbine. Some of this year’s visitors included a new group to the annual event – namely The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. I spent plenty of time on the phone and e-mailing two of the members of this group and was half talked into spending a day in the life of a Civil War woman. It didn’t take much to talk me into it. I generally do something goofy/different on Applefest day anyway – so I looked at this as an opportunity. (We can look into the past and look at hot airballoon rides, airplane rides, etc…)

And such it was. I met up with two “camp members” (and yes, they actually spent the night in a tent at the Woodbine City Park along the fence line of the baseball field) and was outfitted around 7 a.m. And what an outfit it was!

I was given an option – but as far as I’m concerned – bigger really is better. Therefore, I opted for a hoop skirt. Never really ever wore one of those, so I thought, “GO FOR IT!” So I wriggled into this

hoop skirt and dress. This dress had to have added an extra 15 pounds or so!

It was made of a burlaplike material and bogged me down. Of, course, I left my jeans and T-shirt on underneath because it was chilly.

It was actually a skirt/top outfit, handmade, too! I was given “false sleeves” which I didn’t even know were a real thing until that moment. The false sleeves were partial, lacy sleeves with elastic on them that wrapped around your elbows, but dangled out of the sleeves of the skirt top.

The outfit was topped with a hat and away I went. And that’s the way I stayed. Until around 1 p.m. anyway.

I trudged through town in my hoopskirted outfit – trying carefully not to take out small children with the hoops.

Trying to squeeze through tight spots was interesting. Getting to my cell phone and pockets was the worst of it, though. I was informed several times that my camera and cell phone were not fitting of the era.

I doubt my mannerisms were either. I probably would have made a better soldier than a “lady.”

When I was given looks, I simply explained.

NIKKI DAVIS EDITOR

nikki.davis@woodbinetwiner.com

My mentee wasn’t too terribly excited to see me.

I think I may have embarrassed her – but, secretively, I was proud. Proud that I didn’t back down from the challenge. Proud I was hopefully directing people up to the remote park.

As the day wore on, and the rain began to fall.

The dress probably soaked up another 10 pounds. By 1 p.m., I couldn’t take much more – so up to the park I went to change. Then I got more of a Civil War history lesson.

These people are so passionate about their roots and their forefathers. If you didn’t have time to stop and talk to them, I advise you try to make it up to the park next year. It really is boggling.

Oh – and they let me fire the canon! And a musket – which was pretty much like a black powder. But the canon made me jump as I pulled the cord. Just pulling that

cord made me shudder.

You could like feel it slip!

So it proved another intriguing and educational Applefest. Committee members should be proud of their accomplishments. Even the rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of Applefest goers this year!!!

What just crawled in the door?

L

ast week has been filled with great days with outstanding and enjoyable weather. Crops in the field are drying down and harvest is underway.

But whether you live in the country or dwell in town one thing is common – there are “friends” who are trying to join us inside!

I was visiting my mother in the nursing home this morning and the staff pointed out the curled up remnants of several brown, hard-shelled critters on the floor. We called the exterminator, the one nurse proclaimed. So I instantly clicked into extension mode. I certainly understand the common reaction to kill the little devils. That holds true for many pests – whether actual or perceived – that we face. But remember that you can far better target any control efforts if you can figure out what the problem is. And, always train yourself in the proper use of a vacuum or dustpan, which is generally the ultimate end to most home invaders. So, here are a few tips to identify some of the more common unwelcome visitors.

• Millipedes. Yes, these are the culprit in the nursing home this morning, and they have been present on and off in quite impressive numbers throughout the past couple of years. They are identified by having two pair of legs per body segment, and the exoskeleton is rather tough. A great thing is that they don’t bite and they don’t cause any damage other than littering with their carcasses when they dry out and die. They are actually beneficial because they feed on and break down decaying organic matter in leaf and other plant debris. They tend to proliferate in damp conditions, so the relatively frequent and heavy rains we have experienced in 2009 and 2010 have allowed populations to soar. On warm days and nights, they will move en masse from area to area looking for what millipedes like; new decaying plant matter for food, and of course to find love. In the fall, seeking out a place to hunker down for the winter is also a major goal. But, they aren’t too smart to human ways, and accidentally crawl into houses. Once in the house, they dry out and die. So if you spray, they WILL die, but if you don’t, they die. So why spray? As Donald Lewis at ISU says, about the only benefit spraying provides is revenge, but that is short-lived. Instead, keep them swept up as best you can and try not to step on many. Once outdoor temperatures cool, the invasion will subside.

• Asian multi-colored ladybeetles, or Asian bugs or other names (some unprintable). I suspect everyone reading this now has dealt with these. Here is what is happening… during the summer, the ladybeetles are very effective predators of many different insect

EXTENSION OFFICE RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu species. One of these is soybean aphid, and when aphid populations are high (which they weren’t so much in 2010) that means lots of ladybeetle food, and lots of food means more reproduction. So, we grow big populations of ladybeetles. Once the fall starts shutting down plants and cuts out the food source, the ladybeetles start looking for a place to overwinter.

They don’t have the cracked bedrock outcrops of their ancestral home in China, so they look for the next best place- window and door frames, cracks in siding, etc. – where they get in the walls and interior of homes often in impressive masses, especially on bright warm fall days. Yes, they can be a real problem to deal with, but like millipedes, the solution is pretty similar. A vacuum and/or dustpan. Remember your frustration – your legitimate frustration – is just a response to a natural behavior of the beetles. And if you spray a pesticide you might get temporary benefit, but there is more in the beetle army behind that will arrive.

• Flying wasps and yellow jackets. I was stung on Tuesday by a paper wasp that was part of a sizeable flying wasp armada behind the Extension office. I looked for a nest (the typical upside down umbrella of many hexagonal cells that hangs under soffits and window frames, etc.) but couldn’t locate it/them. If I had, this is one situation when a wasp spray directed at the nest could be called for. But still, spraying individual flying wasps is pretty pointless. You need to find and (carefully) destroy the nest. The worker wasps will be dead with the first frost, with the one reproductive queen finding a spot to overwinter. A final note-yellow jackets are yellow and black wasps similar to paper wasps, but the yellow jackets have a habit of seeking out sugary foods. Many people have been stung in the mouth when they drink a soft drink that is being unknowingly shared by a yellow jacket or two. So in the late summer and fall, be careful when consuming sugary drinks or fruits outdoors on a warm sunny day.

Women Caring for the Land Women Food and Agriculture Network, in conjunction with Golden Hills RC&D, held a successful Women Caring for the Land meeting Aug. 25 at Therkildson Community Center in Harlan. Fifteen women, farmland owners from 10 communities in southwest Iowa, spent the morning discussing various conservation concepts and programs.

They then enjoyed a catered lunch and boarded a transit bus for a tour of area conservation practices, led by NRCS district conservationist Rob Lawson.

The women were able to view various conservation practices in place, including terraces, buffer strips, riparian buffers, prairie plantings and erosion control structures.

The meeting ended with a wrap-up session and ice cream social back at the Community Center.

The Woodbine Twiner

Exchanging the Exchange From DUNLOPS Page 1 words to describe how I felt as soon as I saw them at the airport,” Deni admitted. “I saw Alyssa – and then Annette and Peter – I was seriously about to pass out. It was a strong, amazing, wonderful moment. I will never forget it.”

The Dunlop’s first impression was one of surprise.

Memories of Deni speaking of her home land stood out as they took about a day’s car ride to get to Fano, Italy, Deni’s home. The Dunlop’s were taking in what they had only heard it about.

“It was greener than what I thought it’d be,” Annette said.

“Deni always said she loved how green it was here.”

“There were lots of cornfields and sunflowers. Two things we have here. It was kind of surprising,” Peter said.

After four hours in the car, observing the countryside, the Dunlop’s reached another conclusion – drivers in Italy are crazy.

“Driving is chaotic,” Annette said. “The speed was in kilometers, so I don’t know how fast we were going – but it was bumper to bumper and all the traffic signs seemed to be just suggestions.”

“Motorcycles and bicycles were just weaving in and out and didn’t even follow the lines,” Peter added. “The sidewalks were dangerous, so we had to be careful.”

But the reason for the car and not a train?

“It was about 40 Euros each to ride the train,” Peter said. “That’s about $450 per person. That’s why not even the Italians ride the train.”

Once they reached their living destination, Alyssa spent quite a bit of time living with her host sister. Peter and Annette opted for a hotel, although they spent quite a bit of time with the DeMartiis.

“It was weird,” Deni said.

“Now that I’m in Italy again, I’m used to listening to my parents. But two years ago I got used to listening to Peter and Annette instead. Having all of them here created a huge confusion in my mind. Do I have to ask for permission to the ‘Italians’ or the

‘Americans?’ Did the ‘Italians’ approve what I was doing with the ‘Americans?’ Did the ‘Americans’ like my life style in Italy? I don’t think any of them, neither the ‘Italians’ nor the ‘Americans’ really understands how hard that was for me.”

Even though it was difficult, Deni was thrilled to take the Dunlop’s around.

Florence, first.

“We went to so many churches,” Annette said.

“They churches there are so beautiful. And all the museums. We saw things we didn’t even know we’d see.”

Deni’s boyfriend served as a type of tour guide for the family as they saw the sights.

“Deni doesn’t like history and doesn’t know it. Stefano, Deni’s boyfriend, surprised even her when he began to speak English. Deni didn’t even know he could,” Peter said.

Their only regret from Florence was not seeing the Statue of David – but it was a small regret compared to what they were able to see and experience. Such as a covered bridge with stories aligning its insides. The bridge is the last of its kind post WWII. The Dunlop’s didn’t even realize it was a bridge.

“It was just like a street with jewelry stores and stores,” Annette said. “You didn’t realize it was a bridge until you could see out in the center.”

Following Florence was San Marino – a country of its own within the boundaries of Italy. That’s where they saw the fortress on the mountain.

And held their breath to get there.

Both families – the DeMartiis and Dunlop’s – took an RV up a winding, oneway, mountain road.

“It wound around buildings and you couldn’t see the other side and there’d be a huge drop off,” Annette said.

“You had to honk your horn to let people know you were coming. It was scary.”

Within the fortress, the families were drawn to the “Torture Museum.”

“It was interesting and kind of sick,” Annette said.

Photo: Submitted “There were narratives about all the authentic equipment.”

But that wasn’t all that was interesting.

“The art work was just phenomenal. You don’t realize how old and beautiful things were then. It’s pretty amazing.

If you think of something as old here, that’s nothing compared to it being old there,” Peter said. “Like things in Rome being built in 85 AD.” But Rome was their last stop. First they went to the Vatican.

The Dunlop’s had a tour guide, which was information for the whole family – especially Alyssa who had read Angels and Demons and couldn’t wait to see some of the structures mentioned in the book.

The Vatican was a source of intrigue for Alyssa as she saw the landmarks featured in the book, but it was a short trip. About five hours.

“The Vatican was pretty amazing,” Peter said.

“One of the most touching times was walking through the tombs of the saints,” Annette said. “It was exciting when we went by John Paul II, who lay closest to St. Peter. It was overwhelming. It’s holy ground and everyone was expected to treat it as such, No photographs. No talking.”

And, finally, Rome was their last stop. Alogical ending point since that’s where they were departing from.

“Deni wasn’t excited about Rome. She made comments at different times about how it

was going to be so boring and she’s been there 100 times and how awful it is,” Annette said, still smiling at the memory.

But the Rome visit proved not so boring, as a paid tour guide made the trip painless and informative.

“Our tour guide told us things that we would have never noticed or wouldn’t look for,” Annette said.

“Like there are two hidden portraits of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel. And he painted two cardinals in hell,” Peter said smiling. “He had a sense of humor. Since he was forced to paint that ceiling – he was a sculptor – not a painter.

So he wasn’t happy about it. If you look at where it started and the progression, it goes from a lot of small detail to the people getting really big where he finished. These are the things our guide pointed out.”

Between all the running, the Dunlop’s had to remember the simple things – like eating meals and building a relationship with their hostdaughter’s family and learning more about Deni herself.

“After being there I understood the arguing,” Annette said. “It would take them 20 to 25 minutes to order a meal because they were arguing.

Everything was debated from the wine to the meal.”

And some of the meals were down right intriguing.

“We never had a seafood dish we liked there,” Annette said, not hiding her surprise.

“Everything was little critters

with heads – including eyeballs and legs.”

Peter nodded in agreement, stating he believes they even ate hermit crabs. The pizza they ordered came with two choices: plain or cheese.

And the plain, was just a pizza crust. But it was the gelato that had them coming back for more.

“The gelato was so good and there were all kinds of flavors and a place to buy it on every block. Alyssa ate it every day,” Annette said.

And the Dunlop’s reciprocated, making the DeMartiis chili, corn bread and zucchini bars which were primarily excepted – the exception of Deni’s little sister, Dominique.

It proved a little spicy for her tastes.

Another side note, was keeping Alyssa in pitching shape for softball. Daily practices were required, so she would practice in Deni’s apartment complex courtyard. Peter would catch, Alyssa would pitch. The first day of practice, an elderly lady walked around the corner and screamed as she watched Alyssa. Soon it turned into utterances of “Bravissimos” and “Bravos.” Soon, Alyssa had an audience watching her as she practiced.

And as true of any trip, departing was not easy. Again.

Although were plenty of new memories brought home.

“We mostly stayed in or around Fano,” Annette said.

“The last time Deni left we had to push her through the

security gates to get her home.

This time, she left Rome before we did. But we got along with her family very well.”

Even Deni took new, educational thoughts away from the visit.

“Peter loved the city of Urbino, which is 45 minutes away from my house. It’s a small town I never go to because I think it’s boring. He said it was his favorite and that made me think a lot. We take for granted things that are close to us – and we don’t appreciate how beautiful they are anymore,” Deni said.

Annette even learned how to make some Italian dishes and acquired a special rolling pin, compliments of Deni’s mother, Rosella.

But with Deni choosing a career path – criminology – and beginning her studies in Forlì, and monetary straps, another reunion may be a ways off, much to the disappointment on both sides.

“I still think my year in Woodbine was the best of my life, and if I could go back in time, I’d do anything possible not to come back to Italy,” Deni said. “I wish things could go back to the way they were when I was one of the Dunlop’s children. I really hope I’ll be able to come back home again, to see them and all of my friends. Woodbine, just letting you know that you are always in my heart.”

“It’s something we’ll never forget,” Annette said. “She is like family. We hope to see her soon.”

A new, strategic, long-range plan was developed that used many of the original concepts - but moved from a mortar and brick concept to a more open plan.

Another change came when the Conservation Board purchased the property behind the museum including the Lincoln Highway bed and land

adjacent to the museum.

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

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

This phase of the project was feverishly worked on to have it completed or near completion by the time the Iowa Association of County Conservation Boards conference was held two weeks ago in Harrison County.

Throughout the property you will find markers created in the likeness of Lincoln Highway markers that include a letter that will correspond to definition information.

“That part is still in the works,” coordinator of the museum/welcome center Kathy Dirks said.

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

“It’s part of the Quilt of the Hills Project,” Dirks said. “Through the Loess Hills Hospitality Association. Our block was sponsored by the Harrison

County Historical Society and painted by Harrison County 4-H Youth.”

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

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

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

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

That fit well with the welcome center.”

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

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

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

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

For more information about the Harrison County Museum/Welcome Center you can contact Dirks at kdirks@HarrisonCountyPa rks.org or call 712-642-2114.

MARY DARLING For The Twiner There is an advocate right here in Harrison County to help families with special needs children.

Emcompass, LLC, started by mothers of special needs children who receive services, both supported community living and respite, felt they were not getting the quality care they deserved.

“Every agency I have ever used either left me more exhausted or angry,” Renee Springston, director of human resources and advocacy services and one of the founders of the business, said. “Not one agency that I know of, or have used, has a child with a special need. How can you truly serve if you don’t understand? We, the founders of the company, have several children with special needs, ranging from brain injuries, intellectual disabilities and severe mental health issues. We understand the struggles, the needs and the barriers out there for families like ours.”

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

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

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

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

“If you think you might qualify for one of the Home and Community Based Service Waivers you can contact us and we can talk you through the application process or you can contact the Department of Human Services,” Springston said. “There is an extensive waiting list for all the HCBS waivers so an early application is advisable. If you are interested in habilitation services, you must have Iowa Medicaid and complete a direct application to your county’s central point of coordination.” Harrison County’s CPC is Lonnie Maguire.

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

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

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

For more information call 712-644-2524 or 712-644-2532.

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

Community ‘Century Farms’ recognized Iowa Department of Ag and Farm Bureau Celebrated Families that have Owned a Farm for 100 years Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey recognized Century Farm families during a ceremony at the State Fair again this year. To qualify, a family must have owned at least 40 acres for 100 years or more.

Todd and Lori Cox, and Berniece Hammitt from Harrison County each received a “Century Farm” certificate and yard sign from the Department of Agriculture and Farm Bureau during the event.

“The Century Farm program is a great opportunity to celebrate Iowa agriculture and farm families that work the land,” Northey said. “It is always a special privilege to be able to honor these families and their farm, which represent the rich legacy of Iowa Agriculture.”

The Iowa Department of

Agriculture and Land Stewardship has partnered with the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation since 1976 to recognize families that have owned and worked a farm for 100 years or more.

This year 346 farms were recognized, making more than 17,000 farms from across the state that have received this recognition.

The 2010 Century Farms Program ceremony was held at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 17.

“The program acknowledges the deep roots Iowa agriculture and the special bond that exists between Iowa families and the land they farm,” Northey said. “The Iowa State Fair is a celebration of Iowa and Iowa Agriculture, so it’s an ideal place to recognize the Century Farm recipients.”

81 and still pickin’ Don Kelley celebrated his 81st birthday Sept. 29 by harvesting the fields.

BY JEFF POWERS For The Twiner For the third time against a top district foe, the Tigers dug themselves into a hole in the first half.

The East Greene Hawks came to Woodbine last Friday night and dominated the Tigers offensively and defensively taking a 30-0 lead into halftime. The Tigers did manage a couple of sustained drives, picking up five first downs, but just couldn’t punch it in for a score.

The Tigers defensively made a couple of stops and made the Hawks work for their touchdowns. Outside of a few long plays from scrimmage the Hawks seemed to average 5-6 yards every play, making it tough for the Tigers to force a punt.

“The key for us this week was that we were not able to match their

aggression of the ball.

East Greene beat us to the point of attack on both sides of the ball.

They were a senior dominated group of players and their maturity proved to be to much for us to deal with. We just got beat physically by a more mature team,” head coach Jason Strong said after the game.

The first quarter saw Woodbine receive the opening kickoff. After three plays the Tigers punted to Hawks which they returned to inside the 10 yard line. The Tiger defense held strong, forcing a fourth down and 3 from the three yard line, but yielded a score on a run play.

The next series the Tigers drove the ball down the field. After nine plays and two first downs the Tigers couldn’t convert a fourth down. The Hawks on the very next play, while the Tigers looked

for a run, hit a wide open receiver for a 52 yard touchdown pass. The Tigers then went three plays and punted. The quarter ended with the Hawks, after five plays, running it in from 33 yards for a score.

The first two Tiger possessions, of the second quarter, ended in three plays and punting the ball back to the Hawks. In the Hawks first possession they went on a six play drive, ending with a 17 yard run for a score. That would be it for the Hawks in the second quarter. The Tigers would force a punt and then get the ball back on a turnover. The Tigers last possession saw the team drive the ball down field. After 6 plays and 2 first downs the Tigers were forced to punt. That punt was one of a few bright spots, as Spencer Ball punted the ball out

on the 1 footline.

In the third quarter the Tiger defense forced the Hawks to punt on their first possession.

The Tigers obliged by punting it right back after three plays. The Hawks then went on an eight play drive capped by a 6 yard touchdown pass, setting the continuous clock rule in motion.

The Tigers very next play gave the ball right back to the Hawks on an interception ending the third quarter.

The fourth quarter would see both teams scoring twice. The Tigers first score caught the Hawks by surprise when Zach Archer ran a quarterback sneak for 53 yards for a touchdown.

On the Tigers second to last possession Josh Matusik caught a 20 yard touchdown pass after we recovered a Hawk fumble on the kickoff. The game ended with the Tigers on the short end

of a 54-12 score.

Offensively Archer led the team with 66 rushing yards and 71 yards passing as the Hawks shut down Kyle Kuhlman, the Tigers leading rusher.

Defensively Sam Powers led the Tigers with 14 total tackles as a spot starter on defense. The Tigers won the turnover battle recovering three fumbles against two Tiger interceptions.

Kuhlman, Ball and Alton Dickinson each recovered fumbles.

The Tigers fall to 1-3 in district play and 2-4 overall. For the Tigers to have a chance to capture the fourth district spot in sub-state they will have to win their final three games. That will start next Friday when the Tigers travel up to Westside to take on the Ar-We-Va Rockets who played district powerhouse Glidden Ralston

to a close 24-13 loss.

“They will present another very tough test for our football team.

Last season we had an almost miraculous finish (Ryan Fouts stripping the ball, running for a TD at the very end of the game) which allowed us to win that game, so I know they will remember that and have some added motivation against us this year. Next Friday we will need to play a more physical style of football and our offense will need to score some points because their offense has some playmakers that will challenge our defense.

The boys know that we need to keep improving, play with pride, and we understand that we still have some important things to play for throughout the last three games,” Strong said.

The game will start at 7 p.m. Oct. 8.

Sports Lenz earns gold at Tri-Center The Woodbine Tigers cross country team continues to fair well this season, with both the boys’ and girls’ teams tallying third Sept.

30 at Tri-Center for a make up meet.

“It was a very demanding course at TriCenter,” head coach Rod Smith said. “They ran pretty well considering they ran a tough meet in Denison on Tuesday.”

The team’s major highlight was delivered when Ethan Lenz crossed the finish line for the Tigers - bringing home his first gold of the season. He finished first out of 32 runners.

“Ethan really ran a great race,” Smith said.

“It was great to see him win one after all the work he’s put in.”

Levi Brown came in next for the Tigers in eighth; Jameson Delaney, 15th; Trevor Barnum, 22nd; Davis Hackman, 25th; Patrick Glackin, 31st; and Chris Andersen, 32nd.

The boys’ results ended with Woodbine behind Logan-Magnolia with 40 and TriCenter with 67. The Tigers took 71 points for their third place finish – and were followed closely by fourth place finisher Boyer Valley with 76.

The girls’ results looked similar to the boys’ team as they finished behind TriCenter who ended with 21 points and Underwood with 65. The Lady Tigers took third with 78, with six team present at the meet.

Shelby Hall was the first of the Lady Tigers across the finish line in fifth. She was followed by Ellen Cox, 15th; Paige Hackman, 17th; Shelby Dick, 18th; Alyssa Blum, 23rd; Claire Probasco, 24th; Rebekka Boer, 27th out of 33 competitors.

No results were sent for the junior varsity, but it is known that Megan Pauley medaled.

No junior high results were kept.

The Tigers will compete at their home invitational Oct. 4 (results to follow in next week’s Twiner) and travel to Atlantic for a 5 p.m. meet Oct. 7.

CC competes in Denison Sept. 28 The weather cooperated for the Woodbine Tigers cross country team Sept. 28 as they travelled to Denison to face 16 other teams for the first place finish.

First place turned out not to be on the agenda for neither the Woodbine boys’ or girls’ teams.

However, the girls tallied a fourth place finish, finishing only behind larger schools including Harlan, Missouri Valley and Council Bluff’s Abraham Lincoln.

Individually, Shelby Hall once again finished first of the Lady Tigers, ending eighth. Teammates aiding in the Lady Tigers total tally included: Ellen Cox, 30th; Shelby Dick, 32nd; Emily Schwery, 35th; Paige Hackman, 38th; Rebekka Boer, 40th and Alyssa Blum, 48th. A total of 77 competitors were in the race.

“The girls’ team continues to get stronger,” Head Coach Rod Smith said.

The boys’ team lagged in the race, finishing 11th. Individually, Ethan Lenz took the lead of the Tiger pack, finishing 19th. Other Tiger competitors included: Levi Brown, 25th; Jameson Delaney, 62nd; Trevor Barnum, 79th; and Davis Hackman, 82nd out of 93 total runners.

In junior varsity action Claire Probasco finished 14th and Megan Pauley finished 22nd for the girls and Logan Worth took 64th and Chris Andersen, 84th, of 84 runners.

The junior high girls made strides with a third place finish behind IKMManning and Harlan.

Team leaders included: Megan Maaske, 10th; Kendra Vogel, 13th; Emma Probasco, 22nd; Macenzie Hicks, 23rd; Sara Marsh, 24th; and Kassidy Willis, 36th of 41 runners. JC Probasco was the lone finisher for the Tiger junior high boys’ team, taking 19th.

The Iowa State University Pest Management and the Environment Program has revised several training manuals for commercial pesticide applicators and certified handlers.

The full-color training manuals are intended to provide Iowans with the basic understanding of safe and responsible pesticide use and the information needed to successfully pass certification exams.

The updated 128-page Iowa Core Manual, IC 445, contains the basic information on state and federal laws and regulations, pest management, label comprehension, pesticides, safety, the environment and equipment and application techniques.

Forage testing project available to Iowa producers This year’s weather has been one for the record books, and that’s not good news for the state’s cattle producers. Dan Loy, interim director of the Iowa Beef Center at Iowa State University, said continued rain has made both hay quality and lack of hay supplies a concern in some areas.

“Our beef team developed a project to help producers evaluate poor forage and develop rations to prevent calving problems,” Loy said.

Now producers may use

test results to prove losses under the USDA Farm Service Agency’s Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments Program.

IBC, the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, the Iowa Forage and Grassland Council and the Southern Iowa Forage and Livestock Committee are sponsoring the fall 2010 phase of this project, consisting of collecting and testing forages. There is a 50 percent cost share available on forage tests for producers, funded in collaboration

The Certified Handler Manual, IC 500, is a new publication. Previously, Iowans who mix, load and/or repackage pesticides would read certain chapters of the Iowa Core Manual to prepare for the certified handlers exam.

Now, with a stand-alone 64-page manual, it should be easier for Iowans to prepare for the certified handler examination.

Pheasant/Quail population hit all time low CONNIE BETTS Harrison County Naturalist Pheasant and Quail Populations in Iowa Hit New All-Time Low

By Connie Betts Each August, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources conducts a roadside survey to assess pheasant and quail populations. It is held Aug. 115 on sunny, calm mornings with heavy dew on the grass. Since pheasants and quail do not like to be wet, they tend to gather on roadsides to dry off before they begin feeding.

Iowa DNR biologists and conservation officers drive assigned routes and count all of the pheasants and quail they see.

Survey routes are 30 miles long and entirely on gravel roads.

The results of this summer’s survey are in and unfortunately they are not good. Pheasant and quail populations in Iowa are at a new all-time low. This is also true in Harrison County. In the west-central Iowa part of the survey, of which Harrison County is included, pheasants are down 70 percent from last year and quail are down 100 percent from last year. This doesn’t mean there are not quail out there, but the trend for the population is

down dramatically.

So why are the populations down so much from last year? There are two main factors that affect pheasant and quail populations, habitat and weather. According to the USDA in the survey report, from 1990-2005, Iowa lost 2,496 square miles of pheasant habitat.

To give some perspective on that number, it is the equivalent to a strip of habitat eight miles wide stretching from Omaha, Neb. to Davenport, Iowa!

That means any remaining or additional habitat is going to be that much more important.

At this time of year, it’s almost hard to remember the deep snow of last winter, but it was Iowa’s second highest amount in state history. It marks four consecutive severe winters with high snowfall all affecting pheasants and quail. This last spring didn’t help either when the birds were sitting on nests and trying to hatch out chicks. We had 150400 percent more rainfall during peak hatch time than last year. So the combination of brutal winters and wet springs have driven the population down.

Since we can’t control the weather, there’s only one thing that will improve pheasant and quail populations, and that’s habitat. This may

be enrolling land in the Crop Reserve Program or managing existing habitat for maximum benefit. Just this last year, a new law was passed to protect roadside habitat in Iowa.

Often overlooked, in some parts of Iowa, roadside ditches produce almost 50 percent of the pheasant population.

Governor Culver signed into law a restriction on mowing or haying within the rights-of-way and medians of interstates, primary highways and secondary roads before July 15. This restriction applies to DOT, counties and private property owners the purpose of this restriction is to maintain adequate nesting areas for native birds, such as pheasants and quail, while still allowing mowing where it is responsible to do so.

Exceptions to the law include: within 200 yards of an inhabited dwelling, on rights-of-way within one mile of corporate city limits, to promote native species of vegetation, to establish control of insects or invasive plants, visibility and safety reasons, within rest areas and roadside parks, for access to a mailbox or other purposes, within 50 feet of a drainage tile, and rightsof-way adjacent to agricultural demonstration or research plots.

Under the law a

landowner may still mow as much as they like after July 15 as long as it does not conflict with an integrated roadside management plan. This bill will help guide the best management of the habitat that is needed for the survival and successful reproduction of many Iowa wildlife species.

Pheasant and quail hunting seasons open Oct. 30. With low populations, some people may wonder why they have a season. Since a life span of an adult pheasant is about a year and only roosters are hunted, this does not put increased pressure on the population. To increase then numbers next year we’ll need adequate cover for this upcoming winter, nesting areas in the spring, and hopefully a

The TIP board establishes operating policies and also solicits private funds to support the program.

The department provides an employee to serve as TIP coordinator and the TIP “Hotline” telephone number. The toll-free TIP number is monitored 24-hours a day for citizens to report information about crimes against fish or wildlife day or night. The department encourages citizens to use the toll-free line when reporting poaching information, however, they also emphasize that this is not a general information number.

Get on the ice when the fish are most active. Pay attention to the weather and the moon cycles as these both play an important role in fish activity. Plan your trips around moon phases and frontal systems.

• Take cover!

If you’re fishing during the day, you may want to try covering your hole with ice shavings in order to block out the light penetrating the water.

• Fake it!

we know that increasing and managing habitat will give remaining pheasants and quail a better chance for survival and raising their young. If you have land, ask the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Logan about starting a CRP program or costshare buffer program. If you don’t own land, but want to help, join the local chapter of Boyer Valley Pheasants Forever.

They have not only raised dollars for pheasant habitat in Harrison County, but have also helped with seeding and planting projects. We know that habitat is the key to helping pheasant, quail, and all wildlife populations.

Just as we need a home that gives us food, water, cover, and shelter, so do they.

drier spring when chicks are hatching.

Harrison County Conservation Board manages over 1,000 acres of land with much of it open to hunting. Some areas that have had a large number of pheasants over the past couple of years include the Vaile Wetland Area and Missouri Bottoms Wetland Area near Mondamin. The Willow Lake Recreation Area near Woodbine has about 200 acres open to hunting. One of HCCB’s newest areas, the Old Town Conservation Area just south of Missouri Valley, has excellent reconstructed prairie for pheasant habitat.

With pheasants low all over Iowa and Harrison County, it may be disheartening to hunters or landowners. However,

which are; • $150 - small game, fish, birds and furbearing animals; • $200 - wild turkey and raptors; • $300 - deer, elk, moose, and black bear; • $1,000 - threatened or endangered species or commercial poaching operations.

Some reward amounts may vary depending upon the details of the case.

Poachers are thieves who are stealing fish and wildlife resources. As a concerned citizen, you can take an active role in helping our department put these fish and wildlife thieves out of business. If you witness or even hear of poaching activity, call the TIP HOTLINE (1-800-532-2020) and report it immediately.

If waxworms or other live baits aren’t working, give it a break and try some finesse, plastic lures. Sometimes pan fish tire of the live bait so it may help to switch to a jig head with finesse plastic tails.

• Jig it!

Fish under ice may become accustomed to your jig/lure. If you’re not getting bites, try changing jigs. Changing how you jig may also get the fish to bite. Instead of jigging up and down, roll the line between your thumb and index finger. This will force it to spin instead of simply moving up and down.

• Take a break!

Believe it or not, sometimes that’s what it takes. Set your pole down and let your rod, real and bait or jig do the work for you.

Allow the line to remain motionless. And, no. Even if you think you are, you can not hold your pole motionless. Don’t be afraid to take a break. (But don’t move too far away.)
