State property tax rollbacks set for 2011-2012 Rollback on residential property will change from 46.9 percent to 48.52 percent of the assessed value MARY DARLING For The Twiner In October, the Iowa Department of Revenue issued the rollback percentages for all classes of property in the state.

This will help local offi-

cials plan budgets for the 2011-2012 year.

The rollback on residential property will change from 46.9 percent to 48.52 percent of the assessed value for 2010.

Agricultural property,

which is assessed at the productivity value, will increase to 69.0152 percent of the assessed value from the 2009 rollback amount of 66.2715 percent.

No adjustments were ordered for commercial, industrial, railroad or utility classes of property because their assessed values did not increase enough to qualify for reductions, the report stated.

According to Harrison County Assessor, Dennis Alvis, using the 2009 rollback percentage, a house with an assessed value of $100,000 would have a taxable value of $46,000.

In 2010, a house with an assessed value of $100,000 would have a taxable value of $48,500.

“So it’s about a $1,500 increase,” Alvis said.

Alvis said the rollback is just a small part

Woodbine Open for Business

of the big picture in figuring out property tax bills, Other factors are assessed values and the tax levies from each taxing body.

The 2010 rollback percentages will apply to property tax payments made in September 2011 and March 2012. The 2011-12 fiscal year will begin July 1, 2011 and will end June 30, 2012.

The rollbacks are the

result of an assessment limitations order issued by the Iowa Department of Revenue on property values in Iowa.

According to the department, the adjustments in value are necessary to comply with the state law that allows no more than a four percent increase in taxable values from 2009 to 2010 for agricultural, residential, commercial and industrial property.

Gaa hired as Woodbine City Administrator NIKKI DAVIS Editor

NIKKI DAVIS Editor Debra Kaufman had a dream and two passions. With the help of her husband of seven years, Dave, she saw her passions and her dream come true as the doors to Woodbine Antiques and Tea Room were opened.

Debra has always loved the antiques. She began collecting glassware while she resided in Texas and eventually found herself working part time in an

antiques store.

“When David and I met, I worked for an antique dealer and always wanted to continue to be in the business,” Debra said. “But it wasn’t full time and I had to get a ‘real’ job, too. It was always my dream to, when David retired, to buy an old building and open a little shop.”

So after renovations were made compliments of the Woodbine Main Street-Chamber with grant funds to the outside of the former Unity building at 409

Walker, Debra began to wake up from her dream as it materialized to reality.

But even though the outside of the building was renovated, the inside was not. The ambitious couple decided to tackle that feat themselves. But first, another idea hit.

“I knew it would be hard to make it here with just an antique store, so we needed to do something else. The breakfast idea came later because breakfast is See ANTIQUES Page 6

NEW LISTING

After Bob Sullivan’s retirement after over 26 years of service, the City of Woodbine hired new Woodbine City Administrator Joe Gaa. Gaa took his place at the helm on Dec. 6 and didn’t waste time getting started.

His first day on the job led him to a full day in the office and a city council meeting in the evening. He spent the first day finding the top of his desk – sorting through stacks of paper files, organizing and reorganizing them. In short, as the city’s administrator, he knows what is expected of him.

“Basically I’ll oversee the day to day operations and carry out the normal, city business,” Gaa said. “The city council makes the policies and the city administrator sees that they are carried out. I’ll handle all those ‘buzz’ words, like economic development, human resources, finances …”

His education and past experiences may explain some of his qualifications for the

Joe Gaa city administration position.

He grew up in Maryville, Mo. and graduated from the college there, Northwest Missouri State, with a bachelor’s degree in public administration and criminal justice in 1999. He was persuaded by the college to enter a new graduate program and earned his master’s degree in recreation administration in 2004.

After graduation, Gaa was hired by NWMSU serving dual purposes, teaching and working in administration and stayed there for a year. He was getting ready to sign another one year contract when a doctor See GAAPage 6

A CHAMBER CONNECTION WOODBINE MAIN STREET-CHAMBER

Main Street Station & Community Meeting Room

J

ust about this time last year some key Main Street volunteers and staff were furiously pulling together a grant proposal for rehabbing the old Jess Watson gas station at 313 S. Walker St. The source: a 2010 Iowa Main Street Challenge Grant … the same funding used to kick-start our downtown façade improvements during the 2009 Challenge Grant round.

Here’s the brief project description: “The Challenge Grant funds will be used to remodel the historic ‘eyebrow’ gas station into a new, green, multipurpose Main Street-Chamber office and Community Meeting Room for Woodbine. Located one block off Woodbine’s historic section of the original Lincoln Highway near the entrance to the city, the renovated space will extend the existing historic corridor … the project will include exterior cosmetic improvements, infrastructure and interior upgrades, landscaping, and signage while addressing the issues of sustainability, energy conservation and storm water management.”

The old station, built in 1928 and using a then-popular architectural feature, an arched front roofline some call an “eyebrow,” has seen several owners and uses.

For the past few years, the building has been looked after by the city-appointed, volunteer group: the Historic Corridor Committee. These volunteers, with assistance from the City, had the foresight to keep the canopy gas station from falling into ruin, finding the funds and volunteers to do things like replace the roof, keep a coat of paint on the building and moisture out of the building, and excavate some of the junk at the rear of the station. . .little things that go a long way toward saving a structure.

In January 2010, Main Street and the City of Woodbine received the good news that we were one of the14 recipients in the state to receive a Challenge Grant.

The projects are scored on project impact to Main Street districts, design appropriateness, innovation and utilization of Green Streets criteria. Away we went to Des Moines to happily accept the “check” from Governor Culver.

Ten months later. . .the Main Street Station Community Meeting Room hosted the Cookie Walk during the Christmas In Woodbine event. Our local contractors (general, plumbing, HVAC, electric, etc.) did an outstanding job of rehabilitating the interiors and exterior of the facility. Striving to retain the flavor of the old, working gas station atmosphere, the old garage and office area are equipped with practical surfaces just right for a community meeting space. Thanks to a Harrison County Community Foundation Grant, we have folding tables and chairs ready to go for groups of up to fifty.

There are still a few minor things left to complete. In January, the City of Woodbine and Main Street will be posting public information regarding community use of the meeting room as soon as all construction is finalized.

“Iowa’s Main Streets are the vital lifelines of our communities, and investing in them helps preserve our state’s character while giving small businesses a boost,” Senator Tom Harkin said. “This year’s recipients (of the 2010 Challenge Grants) will help restore community touchstones and improve our local economies.”

The Main Street Station is just one of Woodbine’s “touchstones” exemplifying the impact of community partnerships and dedicated volunteers creating positive change.

dapting to life in China is not without its challenges. Sometimes the simplest tasks have become the most challenging. For me, that challenging task is doing laundry.

Those of you who know me well know that, for me, the primary job can be lost in the details. I pay more attention to the details and getting them done perfectly than I do to the overall task at hand. I think that is why I enjoy doing laundry. To me it is, like cooking, a method by which I show love to my family. I love the smell of clean laundry. I love the soft feel of clothes fresh out of the dryer. I love folding each piece perfectly and presenting my love offering to my family.

The Chinese people believe very much in conserving energy. This college campus is the first one I have seen that does not have a parking problem. None of the students have cars. Neither do most of the faculty, who also live in apartments on the campus. A few will drive a motorcycle or a bicycle. The most common form of transportation is walking.

Buildings that have five stories or less are not allowed by law to contain an elevator. Also, most of the classroom buildings have a flight of steps up before you reach the first floor. Classroom buildings are neither heated or air conditioned. We have been reminded by our Chinese friends to turn off our room sized air conditioner when we leave our apartment. It is wasteful to heat or air condition rooms that no one is in at the moment.

It is not surprising that I have not seen a clothes dryer since I have been here. Imagine how much energy it takes to dry a load of clothes. Instead, our small washing machine is in a sunroom at the back of the apartment. The water drains from the washing machine onto the floor in the adjacent bathroom to the drain that also serves for the shower. Clothes are all hung to dry on clothes hangers on a wire clothes line that stretches eight feet high across the room. The individual hangers are hoisted up on a pole with a hook on the end. With the high humidity here it can take two to three days for clothes to dry. It is not surprising that the Chinese have no concept of privacy. Not only are there so many people here, but also everyone has

PERSPECTIVES FROM CHINA KAREN BLOOM-MCELWAIN karenbloommcelwain@gmail.com

their underwear hanging out for all to see.

The first weeks here were frustrating for me to attempt the usually simple and rewarding task of keeping my family in clean clothes. It also brought to mind my childhood days. My mother washed clothes in a Maytag wringer washing machine, which I can still remember mom and dad purchasing. Mom was delighted to have such a time and energy saving machine. After their trip through the wash water and the rinse tub, with side trips through the wringer after each cycle, the clean clothes were hung on the clothes line behind the house, or in the winter, on clothes lines strung up in the dining room. This seems a formidable task to me today especially keeping in mind our family included seven children, usually at least one in diapers (long before disposable diapers existed).

This has definitely brought me closer to the memory of my mother and I am awed at her determination and strength of character. Reminiscent of mom’s abundant garden, when the people here have a small patch of ground near their apartment building, there will always be a squash or pepper plant growing there. As we hike on the way down the mountain to class in the morning it is always to the sound of a rooster crowing or hens or ducks in a pen on an apartment’s patio.

Along with the sight of laundry hanging in each apartment, these will be memories of China I will take home with me to treasure.

In the mean time, the common, everyday tasks of living bring back treasured memories of my mother and my childhood on an Iowa farm.

Make it a safe-food holiday

T

he least appealing end to a holiday celebration to me would be a trip to an emergency room, or extended time hovering over a bucket.

Unfortunately, each year there is a family or two in each county that experiences a preventable foodrelated illness.

Several years ago, I traveled to a family Christmas celebration in southern California where a relative beamed about a new turkey preparation technique for moist, tender turkey that called for many hours of slow cooking at 220 degrees! I managed to choose the other options available and “miss out” on the turkey without being rude, and fortunately, no one got sic k… but the point was driven home to me that food safety is a concern.

ISU Extension has some targeted materials to help people prepare, serve and store foods safely.

When you are preparing foods in general, here are four “C”s to guide you (taken from the

“Fight BAC! Brochure that was jointly produced

by ISU and UNL Extension): CLEAN: Wash your hands before and after handling food and after using the bathroom. Also wash cutting boards, dishes utensils and countertops after food preparation and before you go on to the next food item.

Paper towels are ideal instead of cloth towels because they are disposable.

COMPARTMENTALIZE (Separate): Keep raw meat and seafood from other foods in the shopping cart and in the refrigerator. Use a different cutting board for raw meats and seafood. Use separate plates or platters for raw and cooked foods.

COOK: Use a clean thermometer to test the internal temperature of foods, especially meats and follow temperature guidelines. Cook eggs until the yolks and whites are firm (not runny).

Avoid recipes that use eggs that are not fully cooked. If you choose to,

EXTENSION OFFICE RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu

select an egg substitute or pasteurized eggs in those recipes. Bring soups, gravy and other sauces to a boil when reheating.

CHILL: Refrigerate or freeze perishable foods including leftovers within two hours of preparation.

Likewise, don’t let raw meat, seafood, stay at room temperature more than two hours (one hour if the temperature is 90F or above). Thaw frozen foods in the refrigerator, under cold running water or in the microwave.

Divide large quantities of leftovers into shallow containers for quick cooling of the food mass.

Finally, don’t over pack the refrigerator. The refrigerator should keep foods no higher than 40 degrees F and the freezer below zero. (Even I have to clean the fridge from time to time and it saves

on cooling efficiency!)

Here are some safecooking internal temperatures: • Ground beef, pork veal, lamb: 60F • Ground turkey or chicken: 165F • Fresh beef, veal, lamb: Medium rare, 145F Medium, 160F Well done, 170F • Poultry, 165F • Stuffing (in or out of the bird), 165F • Leftovers or casseroles, 165F Here is a useful, inexpensive stocking-stuffer suggestion – a quick-read food thermometer!

Medicare Part D Enrollment Dear Editor: I write today to encourage Medicare beneficiaries to checkup on their Medicare Part D Prescription Drug coverage. Nov. 15-Dec. 31 serves as the annual enrollment period for Medicare Part D, and this year it is critical everyone have a comparison done.

The number of plans available in Iowa is being reduced from 48 to 33, and many of the compa-

tors can be costly in the selection of a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.

This is the time to do an annual assessment of your current drug coverage. There are three easy ways to compare your drugs that offer completely objective and free assistance: • Call 1-800-Medicare: The lines will be busy during the enrollment period, but if you are patient or willing to call before or after traditional business hours you can speak with a customer service representative 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

• Go to www.Medicare.gov: You can log on to the Medicare Web site and enter your information to find the best plan for you. Again, high traffic on the Web site can be

ment with your local Senior Health Insurance Information Program office: In Southwest Iowa there are local SHIIP stations in Council Bluffs, Glenwood, Atlantic and Shenandoah. If you need assistance in contacting a SHIIP office, please call Southwest 8 Senior Services - 800-432-9209 or 712-328-2540 ext. 13 I realize individuals may be happy with their current Medicare Drug Plan. I also understand the process can be confusing and change is sometimes uncomfortable. I urge all eligible Iowans to do a Part D Check up to ensure they will be happy with their drug plan in 2011.

BOW Mitten Tree needs decorations From BOW Page 1 Development.

“Terri and I came up with the idea of a tree,” Bank of the West’s Woodbine Branch Manager Peggy Swenson said. “Former employee Casey Pape decided we should replace the tree’s ornaments with the hats and mittens and we’re trying to build the mitten tree into a yearly tradition now. As Casey said when we first started the program, ‘I hope the community will be flocking in soon, but I hope the rush isn’t so bad that grandma gets ran over by a reindeer on her way here.’”

So instead of silver bells to hang on the tree, Bank of the West is

actively seeking new mittens, gloves, hats and scarves to adorn the tree’s branches. All to help keep those in the Woodbine community warm with what has been predicted to be a white Christmas.

Bank of the West didn’t want to be a Grinch this holiday season and want everyone to have a holly, jolly Christmas.

“So come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant and bring in your donations. Even if you’re from away in a manger. No one wants to see a bare mitten tree,” Swenson said.

And last year’s tree was fairly sparse.

“We had very few donations last year,” Swenson said. “I know

times are hard, but for some it’s beyond hard.

Some may be living in a winter wonderland this year, but might be doing it outside instead of inside a heated home.”

Though the event began the first week in December, Bank of the West employees hope to fill the tree branches and the space underneath of it during their annual holiday open house to be held 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Dec. 17. No Grinches will be present at the event as employees will serve refreshments while trying to collect items for those less fortunate.

“We would really like to encourage all members of the community to join us in the collec-

tion of new hats, gloves, mittens and scarves.

Let’s all help keep the underprivileged warm this winter – especially children,” Swenson said.

If not planning on attending the open house, items may be dropped off at Bank of the West’s regular hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

“We hope to help those less fortunate have a merry, little Christmas.

Please stop by during our regular, business hours or open house and help us wish everyone see that Christmas time is here.”

Conservation Stewardship Program available The USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service is accepting new applications for the C o n s e r v a t i o n Stewardship Program.

Operators of a pasture system may be eligible to receive financial incentives to keep their ground in pasture. Not

all ground is suitable to be converted to cropland and the CSP program gives producers an opportunity to maintain their conservation ethic and at the same time earn payments for their efforts. Livestock play an important role in our farming community.

vation activities and adopt additional ones on their operations. The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill) authorizes CSP, which is available to all farmers nationwide.

Potential participants can use a self-screening checklist first to determine whether the new program is suitable for them or their operation.

The checklist and additional information is available online at www.nrcs.usda.gov/pro grams/new_csp/csp.ht

ml and at local NRCS field office. The local NRCS office for Harrison County is at the USDA Service Center, 2710 Hwy 127 in Logan, phone 712644-2210.

Woodbine City Administrator From GAA Page 1 ate opportunity arose at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. It took him three years to decide he didn’t want to do research. He wanted to teach and prepare professionals to enter the work field.

“Working in the higher education was beginning to bore me,” Gaa admitted, already thinking of turning to a parks and recreation job.

About that time, a job as director of parks and recreation opened up Sebastian County, Ark. So he relocated.

“But to put this in perspective, when I was in my 20’s, I said someday I want to be a city administrator,” he recalled.

And while the parks director in Sebastian County, the county administrator knew of his aspirations in government administration. So with a little help, Gaa was able to gain valuable county administration experience, working on personnel policies and helping with finances and financial software.

Then he found himself looking at municipal job ads online. He couldn’t find much in the south, so he gravitated closer to where he called home, looking in Kansas and Iowa. After two years in Sebastian County, by late summer, he noticed more and more job postings.

He found Woodbine’s city administration ad on the Iowa League of Cities Web site, and he found a few others. He interviewed for several – but Woodbine drew his attention.

“One thing I noticed was at the other towns I interviewed for that were similar to Woodbine, the first thing they talked about was how many miles it was to the nearest Walmart and McDonalds. No one in Woodbine, Iowa, ever said anything about it. I thought it was interesting. It really showed hometown pride. I thought that was impressive,” he recalled.

Once the decision was made and he was hired by the town that impressed him, he jumped in with that first day of work followed by the council meeting. Gaa wasted no time, already having plans and goals in mind – some already set into motion.

“I’d like to continue the work on the Main Street development and the redevelopment of the buildings. I would like to streamline how the staff prepares for city council meetings and we’re starting to work on that,” he said.

He would like to see continued downtown development. He wants to update personnel policies and design a new personnel manual, stating the importance of those policies.

He’s already attended a seminar regarding the town’s budget and how to alleviate budget-related issues, with the budget cycle right around the corner. He’s looking at possibly replacing the “dated” financial software.

He’s reaching out and developing five year plans on capital needs such as updating street plans and infrastructure.

But amidst all the plans and work, he has a lighter side.

“My favorite part is the public relations. Getting out and meeting the people. And I’ve moved here and I’m settled in and already working,” he said smiling. “I moved from Arkansas and am now back up north where the weather’s colder and snow’s around the corner – and I love that.”

A meet and greet will be held for Gaa from 9:3011 a.m. Dec. 16 in the Woodbine City Office. The public is invited to attend.

Please contact the city with any questions or concerns at 647-2550, or e-mail Gaa at jgaa@woodbineia.com.

Give Gifts that Double as Energy Savers

S

tuff your family’s stockings with energy-efficient holiday gifts this year.

Some ideas: • Small appliances like grooming devices.

• Compact fluorescent light bulbs. They last longer and use less energy than traditional light bulbs.

• Rechargeable batteries.

• Battery chargers—but only those that bear the Energy Star label. Most chargers are energy hogs, even when they’re turned off. The government-issued label means the device uses at least 35 percent less energy than similar chargers.

• Gift certificates for your time. Offer to baby-sit, work in the yard or cook dinner. Loved ones will be touched by your consideration, and the gift could save you money and energy.

Alegent’s ‘Experience Health’ Alegent Health Community Memorial Hospital and West Central Iowa Area Health Education Center partnered to present the first “Experience Health” occupation exploration day camp on Nov. 21 at Alegent Health Community Memorial Hospital. WCI AHEC recruitment coordinator Micki Paulsen, Quality Control’s Jennifer Gilgen and Diabetic Educator Debbie Tiffey worked together to coordinate the event. Students from West Harrison, Missouri Valley, Woodbine and Logan-Magnolia high schools attended an eight hour activity packed day at the Alegent Health Community Memorial Hospital to explore different careers available to students in healthcare.

Various healthcare professionals were involved to extend knowledge of their chosen occupation and the benefits of working in a rural hospital or health environment.

Adult participant experts of all areas of health/hospital services were present to address students’ questions and inquiries of future occupation choices.

Students were involved in a ”mock injury” accident in the Emergency Room with the EMT’s bringing in a “victim” of a motorcycle accident. LifeNet was scheduled to make an appearance, but was cancelled due to the weather. Students were able to see the eFocus monitoring or the “OnStar” for nursing, “scrubbed in” like the surgical staff does for surgery, then, while in Respiratory Care, students viewed a sleep lab simulation and a pulmonary function.

Labels of foods and the model of the heart was presented by Cardiac Rehab and the long term dangers of poor eating habits with Physical & Occupational Therapy stations ending the day having the students perform the pinch, grip and dexterity tests.

The mission of West Central Iowa Area Health Education Center is to “grow our own”

quality healthcare workforce. The intent is to recruit youth into healthcare professions, assist youth with pre-professional training and provide continuing education to retain professionals in rural communities.

West Central Iowa Area Health Education Center strives to establish partnerships with local professionals and healthcare facilities to coordinate opportunities like “Experience Health” days for area youth. WCI

AHEC programs provide opportunities for student exploration of the multitude of occupational opportunities in the healthcare field.

If you would like to partner and make a contribution to assist in the development and delivery of healthcare activities for area youth with WCI AHEC, please contact Executive Director WCI AHEC Sharon Meyers at smeyers@stanthonyhospital.org or call 712-794-5960.

The Woodbine Twiner

December 15, 2010

Sports/Community Tigers take two (duals), finish third at Riverside Dec. 11 Riverside Invitational The Tigers were unable to pull a second tournament win, but finished well in third at the Riverside invitational Dec. 11 with 164. Atlantic finished second with 213 and county rival and wrestling power house LoganMagnolia won the title of tourney champs with 298.

The Tigers had two champions, Gavvon Shafer, 152, and Dalton Peterson, 189. Shafer worked his way through the ranks beginning with a 3:58 pin, followed by a 1:28 pin against Riverside’s Payton Housman. A 4-1 decision against Atlantic’s Tyler Johnson led him to the championship ring with Lo-Ma’s Dillon Miller.

Shafer finished Miller off in a 7-4 decision. Peterson began wrestling Audubon’s Jesse Svoboda after a bye. He took Svoboda out in a 49 second pin. He followed it with a 5-2 decision over Atlantic’s Tyler Doll before finding his way to the championship ring

with Jared McCoy of Woodbury Central.

Peterson earned his champion titled match in a 5-3 decision.

Darin Peterson, 171, began the tourney right, taking three pins, 1:26, 1:25 and 1:00 flat before ending in the championship ring with Lo-Ma’s Travis Jones, where he fell against his Panther opponent in a 13-7 decision to finish as runner up.

Kyle Kuhlman, 215, took a 10-6 decision before falling to tourney champion Evan Mikels of Lo-Ma. He fought back with a 1:50 pin and a 2:29 pin against Dylan Christensen of Atlantic to finish third.

Two Tigers tallied fourth: Tanner Hedstrom, 119, and Mason Mentink, 140. Hedstrom won his first match in a 3:29 pin, but fell in 17 seconds to Savannah’s Cody Hummer. He fought back with a 12-8 decision win for a shot a third, but fell short in a 9-2 loss against Griswold’s Tanner Potter.

Mason Mentink took a 5:30 pin before falling to tourney champion Nolan

Oviatt in a technical fall, 17-2. A default win led him to the ring with a shot at third, but he was shut down by Savannah’s Skylar Moran in a 3:40 pin to finish fourth.

Lucas Hedstrom, 112, Malachi Mentink, 125, Austin Quick, 130, and Josh Matusik, 160, all finished fifth at Riverside.

Lucas Hedstrom lost his first two matches, pinned both times. He fought back with a 53 second pin of his own for fifth.

Malachi Mentink was taken out of a shot at the title in an 11-4 decision, followed by a 10-5 decision, before winning his match by default for fifth.

Quick fell in the first period of his first match and suffered a 5-1 loss his second. A default against LoMa’s Eric Brosnahan led him to fifth. Matusik lost by a narrow 5-4 decision his first match, then fell in a 6-1 decision before a fifth place default left him in fifth.

Other Tiger wrestlers included Alex Whiteing, 103. Nick Klein, 135, and Matt Monahan, 145.

Dec. 9 Mapleton Another double dual brought two more dual wins for the Woodbine Tiger wrestling team.

The night began with a shutout by the Tigers against the EHK Danes, partially due to 10 open classes forcing forfeits for the Danes.

Thompsen, 135, Mason Mentink, 140, Josh Matusik, 160, Darin Peterson, 171 and Dalton Peterson, 189, were all handed forfeit wins.

Spencer Ball, heavyweight, made wrestling look easy opening with a two-point takedown that led him to a 17 second pin.

Kyle Kuhlman, 245, was leading his match against Kodie Haas 8-2 when he settled for a third period, 5:07 pin. Matt Monahan, 145, and Gavvon Shafer, 152, each managed decisions, Monahan at 6-2 and Shafer at 7-3 to leave the Tigers’s tally at 72-0.

The MVAO Rams proved to pose more of a challenged for the Tigers, but Woodbine came out on top, 52-30.

Mason Mentink took the quickest pin of the night in 35 seconds.

Several team members followed suit: Lucas Hedstrom, 41 seconds;

Photo: Kristi Mentink Darin Peterson, 42 seconds; Dalton Peterson, 1:12; Kuhlman, 1:15; Ball, 1:16; Malachi Mentink, 3:16; and Shafer, 3:06.

Despite the pins, the match opened up with the fall of Whiteing in 33 seconds, leaving the Tigers room to worry, but Lucas Hedstrom’s pin tied it up and brother, Tanner Hedstrom’s, 8-0 major decision put the Tigers on top. The Tigers fell behind once again as Klein fell in 1:22 and Thompsen went down in 2:43. However, Mason Mentink’s 35 second pin brought the Tigers back on top 22-18 until Monahan fell in 2:40, to put the Danes up 24-22.

Shafer’s pin and Matusik’s fall that followed flopped the score twice more before four consecutive pins from Darin Peterson, Dalton Peterson, Kuhlman and Ball pulled out the 52-30 victory.

Girls play tough; Delaney’s fourth quarter play leads boys to first victory Still lose two JEFF POWERS For The Twiner

JEFF POWERS For The Twiner Dec. 7 COU, 57: Woodbine, 34 The score doesn’t indicate how close this game was. At halftime, the Lady Tigers were only down 6 points. COU then went on a 10 point run, but later in the quarter a three point basket by Tiffany Vasquez got the game down to a 7 point deficit. In the fourth quarter, the Lady Tigers closed the gap to 5 points, but with three quick turnovers, COU went on a 12 point run. The Lady Tigers couldn’t muster another comeback and lost by 23 even though down 5 with just a few minutes left to play.

There will be an EARLY DEADLINE for The Twiner for the Dec. 29 and Jan. 5 editions!

The boys played two conference games this week against class 1A Charter Oak Ute and class 2A power IKM-Manning.

COU came into Woodbine Tuesday night to face a Tiger team hungry for a win.

Though trailing most of the game, the Tigers rallied in the fourth quarter to get their first win. The Tigers then went on the road to Manning and faced a large, quick, and talented team. The Tigers played hard, which didn’t show up in in a lopsided defeat.

Dec. 7 Woodbine, 44: COU, 38 The first half saw the two teams play almost evenly as COU only outscored the Tigers by 1point in each quarter.

Down by 2 points. the Tigers came out cold in the third quarter with their only points coming on a 3 pointer by Alex Klein. COU scored 10 points in the third to take a 9 point lead. The Tigers came alive in the fourth

quarter with Jameson Delaney scoring 9 of his 12 points. Davis Hackman hit a 3 pointer to tie it and Sam Powers hit a basket to put the Tigers up for the first time. With three seconds left, up by 3, Jacolby Ehlert hit two free throws to seal the victory.

“I thought that the guys really played hard and worked together as a team. Being down 30-21 going into the fourth quarter, I thought the guys came together and picked up the intensity to pick up the first win of the season. We had a pretty balanced scoring attack with Jameson Delaney scoring 9 of his 12 points in the fourth quarter. I thought Jacolby Ehlert came into the game in the fourth quarter and made two big free throws with about a minute to go.

Great win for the guys,” Head Coach Heath Stille said about the game.

Delaney led the team in scoring with 12 points.

Also in double figures was Hackman with 10 followed by Ethan Lenz with 9, Klein with 5 and

Ehlert and Powers with 4 each.

Powers and Hackman led the way in rebounding with 6 each followed by Delaney with 5. Klein added 4 assists and 3 steals in the win.

The Tigers were 17-48 shooting and had 14 turnovers.

Dec. 10 IKM-Manning, 67: Woodbine, 26 The first quarter would set the stage for the game.

The Tigers fought hard, created some turnovers and stayed close for a few minutes but not getting a lot of shots off and a late quarter run by the Wolves saw the first quarter end with the Tigers down 234. In the second and third quarters the Tigers improved, only being outscored by 12 point in each quarter. The Tigers, with some junior varsity players and the continuous clock, outscored the Wolves 7-5 to end the game.

The Wolves were tall, averaging about 6-2.

“We got off to a slow start against a quality opponent and never were

able to get into the flow of the game. We talked about taking care of the basketball and slowing things down a bit because they were a dangerous team in transition,” Stille said after the game. “It is hard to slow things down when you get behind early and are fighting an uphill battle all the way.”

Statistically for the Tigers, Ethan Lenz led the way scoring in double figures with 11 points followed by Jameson Delaney with 5, Davis Hackman with 4 and Alex Klein, Sam Powers and Drew Radloff with 2 each.

Powers led the team with 9 rebounds followed by Lenz with 6 and Jacolby Ehlert with 4. The Tigers were 11-44 shooting with 19 turnovers.

The game against Walnut (Boys and Girls) last Saturday was cancelled due to the bad weather and is rescheduled Jan. 8. Next week the Tigers will have just one game before the holiday break as West Harrison will make the trip to Woodbine on Friday.
