Renovations complete on former Oddfellows building

NIKKI DAVIS Editor The $1.5 million dollar renovation of the Odd Fellows building at 503 and 505 Walker Street wrapped up on Dec. 30, 2010. The renovations began in May of 2010 after Dustin and Mindy Crook, through LLCs newly formed for the project, purchased the buildings. The Crooks also served as the general contractor for the project through Crown View Development, with Smith Project Management, owned by Darin Smith, serving as the developer, putting together funding for the project. It took approximately 25 contractors, half of which were local, to reno-

vate the building, working to renovate and update as well as keep the historical significance of the original Oddfellows Lodge #405 and Siebels Department Store. The renovation split the two addresses into three, separate 25 by 100 feet lots, or bays, making it a multi-functioning building, providing office space, apartments and a restaurant. The second floor of all three bays is the new home of six, two bedroom, two bathroom apartments. The apartments feature high ceilings and wood floors throughout. “Each apartment is different,” Mindy said. “They each have their own, unique, historical characteris-

tics.” Aside from the characteristics of the apartments, they also contain all new Energy Star appliances, including a washer and dryer. An added feature is four, indoor garage spaces available for apartment tenants, located in the alley between Walker and Lincoln Way. One bay of the main level will be housing a new restaurant, slated to open in the beginning of February, The Bunkhouse Café. The Bunkhouse will be relocating from Logan and will assume the corner entrance at Fifth and Walker Streets, where a restaurant has been in place for several years with the lapse of recent years. The center bay houses six offices

currently for lease. Features include a lobby area and a conference room, complete with a kitchenette. “This will be great to house new, upcoming businesses, or growing businesses that will need more office space,” Mindy said. “It’s also a great space for insurance or real estate offices.” The third bay of the renovated building is already occupied by Arch Icon Development. Arch Icon Development is a merger of the building’s developer and general contractor as Smith’s Smith Project Management and the Crook’s Crown View Development merged to form the new businesses.

Woodbine fourth grader Michael Bennett, 10, knew Veronica Pauley, 85, wasn’t outside when he left for his friend’s house on Jan. 3. But she was there when he returned 15 minutes later. She lay on her back, waving a broom to get someone’s – anyone’s – attention. “I was riding a bike home from a friend’s, coming home. I saw a broom go up in the air, and so I first thought she was just waving,” Bennett said. Bennett knew Pauley and would declare them

Editorial

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

CHAMBER CONNECTION WOODBINE MAIN STREET MAIN STREET OFFICE

It doesn’t ‘Just Happen’

oodbine’s designation as a “Main Street Community” wasn’t just some nice award we got three years ago and slapped on a sign. And it’s not something that is ongoing and eternal. Nope….it doesn’t just happen….we earn it! Each year, since the award, the Main Street Board and Four Committees have certain goals and objectives they must establish, focus on and work toward. That means monthly meetings for the Business Improvement, Promotions, Organization, and Design Committees and Board of Directors. It also means lots of detailed work plans, meeting minutes, brainstorming, grant writing and reports filed every month. There’s a substantial amount of behind-thescenes work that takes place by volunteers and staff to keep the program growing and going. Main Street Iowa came to town Jan. 12 and did the follow-up to our Program Assessment for 2010. Good news. We passed with flying colors and are “official” for the year: a proud National Main Street community. If you’ve been reading the column or following the activity downtown, the Main Street Iowa program, celebrating its 25th anniversary and hosting the National Main Street Conference in May 2011, has been a tremendous partner in Woodbine’s revitalization efforts since 2008. I read this quote recently: “A community’s downtown is everyone’s front yard…” Isn’t that perfect? Our business owners and city officials are guiding and investing in the revitalization of “the front yard.” As Woodbine residents, we reciprocate by reinvesting a portion of our own dollars in our own town. Here’s something to think about…according to The 3/50 Project, a Midwestern-based small business advocacy organization, for every $100 spent at locally-owned, independent stores, $68 returns to the community. The same amount spent at national chains in the same community results in $43 staying within community borders. We need both to serve the needs of the community. But if you spend your money completely outside those community borders, not a dime of it stays here. Money spent at local, small businesses goes right back into Woodbine. And those local businesses are the first ones to say: “Yes, I’ll support your school, 4-H Club, senior center, soccer program, etc.!” That’s a firsthand demonstration of a symbiotic relationship among local business, school, and community: we must support one another with our dollars and with our volunteer time to experience downtown Woodbine Main Street revitalization and economic development. When we do, the dividends just push the entire community forward!

Happy Groundhog Day!

’m not really much into folk lore, but I’ve seen the movie Groundhog Day more than one time, I’m afraid to admit. And since today, Feb. 2, is Groundhog Day, I figured what better time than to do some research on where on earth this bizarre tradition/folk lore came from. (As if I needed an excuse to be nosy!) But I might as well find out what made Punxsutawney Phil such a famous, four-legged creature. I’m sure you all know the lore, but in case you’ve been under a rock you’re whole life, Groundhog Day is the belief that on a certain day, when a groundhog pokes his head up from his burrowed home, if he leaves his home, winter will soon end. But if he sees his shadow and retreats back into his hole, there’s six more weeks of winter left. Really? I guess my logical thinking leads me to believe if a groundhog poked his head out of his hole and saw even one person standing there, he’d retreat right back where he came from. I mean wouldn’t you? You’ve been asleep all winter and the first thing you see when you wake up is some stranger standing on your doorstep? Anyway, through a little internet research, I found out Groundhog Day supposedly began as a Pennsylvania German custom in the 18th and 19th century, although it’s more rooted in European lore, based on a badger or bear instead of a groundhog. Some think Groundhog Day might be loosely based on the medieval Catholic holiday of Candlemas or the Pagan Imbolc festival, both which deal with prognostication of the weather. An early reference to the holiday is found in a diary from Berks County, Penn. dated Feb. 5, 1841 and in Scotland, there is a poem the holiday could be derived from. Yet there’s even more possibilities of its origin. So while my research was entertaining, I’m not sure I can deem the research a success since there seems to be no one, particular answer. But tradition is tradition, I suppose. Just look at Punxsutawney Phil of Punxsutawney, Penn.! He’s

one, famous rodent. Even memorialized in a movie based on his own, sacred day! Then there’s other groundhogs I guess that are supposed to be famous in their own light, although I’ve never heard of them. Do any of these names ring a bell to you? Staten Island Chuck? General Beauregard Lee? Shubenacadie Sam? Wiarton Willie? Hmmm. Didn’t think so. Ironically, though, those that follow and research these things indicated the groundhogs are usually at least 75 percent accurate. Then again, in Canada, they claim it’s only 37 percent accurate and the National Climatic Date Center claims 39 percent accuracy. Regardless, I’m sure we’ll see the little rodent continue to make his appearance annually. His five seconds of glory per year where people don’t give out a startled yelp of surprise or terror when his gnashing teeth pop up from his hole. After all, he’s already made appearances in Groundhog Day, Jack Frost (A TV special where Buddy Hackett was the narrator), Sega games released a Hedgehog Day on Feb. 2 (connecting it to Sonic the Hedgehog), Nintendo’s GameCube mimics this with Animal Crossing, an episode of The O.C. and the little critter even found his way into comic books in Hack/Slash: Entry Wound which featured him as a villain. Maybe some day I’ll be as famous as the longclawed, gnashed teeth rodent … but I’m not going to hold my breath OR predict the future!

hether you have a history as a farmer, as an avid gardener or even have spent lots of time outdoors, you have a risk for development of skin cancer. If you are like me, you may tend to ignore it, but checking yourself for changes in your skin that signal a potential skin cancer is simple, quick and can save your life. I fit the model of risk for skin cancer – red headed (at least I once was!), prominent freckles and I sunburn easily. But I never thought much about it until I was part of the ISU Extension team that worked the Farm Progress Show at Amana about 15 years ago. The focus was sun safety, and ISU partnered with the University of Iowa College of Medicine, where we had teams of doctors and physician’s assistants work in makeshift examination rooms, giving free examinations to the show attendees. I was helping with the public radio part of the show, and we got a couple of our staff to volunteer examination with the “patient” and

doctor both mic-ed up. First up was my friend Carol who, to her surprise, had a developing basal-cell carcinoma on her nose! Next was my turn, and low and behold, I had the beginnings of a basal-cell carcinoma on my arm – it was a painless, small, pearly bubble that had popped up in the past year. Now fortunately, basal-cell carcinoma is typically very slow growing and highly treatable, particularly when discovered early like ours were. By the way, I will gladly show you my scar to illustrate how minor the surgery was. But that is because I caught the lesion early. Also, neither Carol nor I had the more aggressive skin cancers including squamous-cell carcinoma or the nasty melanoma! But regardless of the type of skin cancer, early diagnosis is important. Dr. David Pariser, president of the American Academy of Dermatology says, “More than 11,000 Americans die each year from skin cancers,” and continues, “but when detected early, skin can-

EXTENSION OFFICE RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu cer has a cure rate of 99 percent. Since research shows [that] farmers are among the least likely workers to receive a skin examination by a physician, it is important that farmers perform regular skin self-examinations, which could mean the difference between life and death.” That self-examination is as easy as your A-BC’s. If you find a suspect lesion, have your doctor look at it, and of course the sooner the better. Here are the A-B-C-‘s for melanoma: Asymmetry (one half is unlike the other) Border (the lesion is irregular or scalloped, or otherwise poorly defined) Color (varies within the lesion) Diameter (the size of a pencil eraser or larger) Evolving (changing in size, shape or color over time) Look over your entire

body, including the back, scalp, and soles of feet and between toes and on your palms. Use a fulllength mirror and a hand-held mirror. Also, remember to limit overexposure to the sun by wearing clothing that covers the skin and use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 30 on all exposed skin, and reapply it every two hours even on cloudy days. And protection to your face and hands can be important even in the winter when bright sun on reflective snow can provide excessive UV light exposure. A great additional source of information about skin cancer is in the SkinCancerNet section of http://www.SkinCare Physicians.com.

Community Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk Harrison County Sheriff, Pat Sears is reminding football fans that if your Super Bowl celebration includes alcohol, make the right decision before kickoff and always have a designated driver. This local message complements the national Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk message supported by the National Football League, the U. S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the HERO Campaign and Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management Coalition. “We’re reminding everyone that real Super Bowl Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk,” Sears said. “If your postseason game plan includes alcohol, make sure you have a designated driver in your starting line-up. We are all asking all party hosts and bar owners to take extra good care of designated drivers this year. Designated drivers make sure everyone gets home safely. For taking on such an important responsibility, they should be rewarded.” The Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk message supports the leaguewide designated-driver campaign called Responsibility Has Its Rewards. Celebrating its eighth season in 2011, the campaign encourages fans to participate in designated driver programs supported by beer and concessionaire companies at every NFL stadium nationwide. Throughout the season at all 31 NFL stadiums, more than 170,000 fans made the responsible decision by pledging to be designated drivers this season. Those fans now have a chance to earn the ultimate reward – a trip to Super Bowl XLV in North Texas at

Cowboys Stadium. The Responsibility Has Its Rewards Super Bowl XLV winners will be Designated Drivers for the Season from the AFC Champion and NFC Champion teams. And the Designated Driver for the Season from the Buffalo Bills – Barbara Owezareczak of Lancaster, N.Y. – will attend the 2011 Pro Bowl in Honolula, Hawaii. “We want everyone to make the right decision for Super Bowl,” Sears said. “Having a designated driver should be an obvious call in everyone’s play book. Making sure designated drivers know how much we appreciate their responsible decision is what will make this year’s celebration extra special – and extra safe.” If you are hosting a party: • Make sure all of your guests designate their sober drivers before kickoff or help arrange ridesharing with other sober drivers. • Find unique ways to recognize the designated drivers at your party. • Give them a great spot to watch the game. • Whatever non-alcoholic beverage they are drinking, make sure their glass is always full. • Let them have the first pass at the buffet table. • Make sure their cars are easy to access when it is time to start driving people home. • Serve plenty of food • Offer a variety of nonalcoholic choices like soft drinks, juice and water. • Serve one drink at a time and serve measured drinks. • Only serve alcohol to guests over 21 years of age. • Determine ahead of time when you’ll stop serving alcohol, such as one hour before the end of the party or at the end of

the third quarter of the game (just like NFL stadiums) and begin serving coffee and dessert. • Add the numbers of local cab companies into your phone so they are just one touch away. • Take appropriate steps to prevent anyone from driving while impaired. • Be prepared for guests to spend the night if an alternative way home is not available. If you are attending a Super Bowl party or watching at a sports bar or restaurant: • Designate your sober driver before the party begins and leave your car keys at home if you plan to drink. • Find unique ways to recognize the designated drivers when you are out at a bar or restaurant. • Offer to be the designated driver the next time

you go out. • Cover the cost for parking or even pay for a tank of gas. • Whatever non-alcoholic beverage they are drinking, make sure their glass is always full. • Pick up the tab for their food and drink. • Avoid drinking too much alcohol too fast. Pace yourself-eat enough food, take breaks and alternate with non-alcoholic drinks. • Take appropriate steps to prevent anyone from driving while impaired. Remember, Fans Don’t Let Fan Drive Drunk. • Always buckle up – it’s your best defense on the road.

Free tax services available for low and moderate income families Free tax preparation services will be available in southwest Iowa for low and moderate income families as part of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program sponsored by the Southwest Iowa Making Connections program. For more information or to make an appointment at the Logan location, call the Harrison County Extension Office at 712-644-2105. Residents in Harrison, Shelby, Audubon, Rural Pottawattamie, Cass, Mills, Montgomery, Fremont, Page and Taylor Counties are eligible to participate. Other tax sites are available in Harlan, Atlantic, Glenwood, Malvern, Red Oak, Shenandoah and Clarinda. Services will be provided by IRS trained volunteers who will utilize the Tax Wise software to complete returns. Only basic Federal and Iowa returns will be processed including Forms 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ. Most returns will be electronically filed and to speed up the return process participants are encouraged to have a savings or bank account, although it is not required. Spaces and times are limited, available on a first come, first serve basis and are open to low and moderate income families. For example, yearly income should be less than $34,340 for a family of three, less than $41,300 for a family of four, less than $48,260 for a family of five, etc. Low and moderate income families are encouraged to take advantage of these free tax services and not be tempted by advertisements for “fast cash refunds,” “express money” or “instant refunds,” that offer a refund in a just or day or two or on the spot. Most of these offers are really loans; Refund Anticipation Loans where you borrow against your own tax refund money. RAL’s are expensive with loan fees ranging from $30 to $90, which translates into an annual percentage rate of 60 percent to 700 percent. Here how it works. For a tax refund of $2,000, you might pay $75 as a RAL loan fee, $40 for an electronic filing fee and $100 for tax preparation. This totals $215 or over 10 percent of the tax refund which could translate into an APR of 142 percent. So to save at tax time take advantage of free tax preparation services such as the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program. In southwest Iowa the Making Connections program is sponsoring VITA sites in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service, Boost4Families, ISU Extension, Iowa Dept of Human Services, West Central Development Corporation, Golden Hills Resource Conservation and Development and Southwest Iowa Families, Inc. Financial support is provided by the Institute for Social and Economic Development and the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Boots to Heels conference scheduled for March 5 in Atlantic Women in Southwest Iowa are invited to a day of fun, learning and friendship during the fifth annual Boots to Heels Conference from 83 p.m. March 5 at the Cass County Community Center in Atlantic. “Boots to Heels started as a day to recognize and cele-

brate rural women and the many roles and responsibilities they have in our local communities,” program coordinator with Shelby County ISU Extension Kate Olson said. “We have a great mix of attendees every year; some come for the first time, others return and bring friends. We’ve even had red-hat ladies and others who attend as a whole

Business Owners Need Their Own “Quarterback” Unless you’ve been cut off from every source of media, not to mention all human contact, you’re aware that the Super Bowl is fast approaching. If you’re a football fan, you’re probably eager to watch the game featuring this year’s best teams. And if you’re a business owner, you can learn a lot from how Super Bowl teams are put together. One thing that virtually all Super Bowl teams share is a stellar quarterback — someone who drives his team with skill, agility and vision. These same qualities can be found in a qualified, experienced financial professional — someone who can act as your “quarterback” and help you reach your goals. What sorts of guidance might you get from your “quarterback”? Here are some possibilities: • Coordinating your “team” — A Super Bowl-caliber quarterback obviously is adept at getting everyone on the offense to play well together. And as a business owner, you, too, may need to get your own “team” up and running. Specifically, you may well need to use both an attorney and a tax professional to help you take care of various aspects of your business. Your financial advisor can help coordinate their services.. For example, if your business is

involved with your estate plans, you will have legal, tax and investment considerations to deal with — so you’ll want all your legal, tax and financial advisors working together toward your ultimate objectives. • Executing your strategy — Whether a quarterback hands off the football or throws a pass, he is attempting to follow his team’s game plan, or strategy. And your financial advisor, as your quarterback, will help you execute the right game strategy to attain your own objectives. For starters, your financial advisor will ask questions such as these: Do you have a retirement plan in place? If so, is it appropriate for your needs? Do you have the right types and amounts of business insurance? Have you considered business succession strategies? Once your financial advisor knows the answer to these questions, he or she can then help you implement your overall strategy through the use of suitable products and services. • Adjusting your “plays”— When a quarterback sees something he doesn’t like, such as a last-minute change in the opposing team’s defense, he may call an “audible” to adjust his team’s designed play. Similarly, your

group. There truly is something for everyone, and each year we hear how much fun the ladies have, and how much they have learned. We are very excited to be going into our fifth year of this event.” The conference will begin with South-Dakota farm couple Troy and Stacy Hadrick, also known as Advocates for Agriculture, who will share their message “Discovering Your Influential Power.” The couple maintains a passion for agriculture, and brings a wealth of experience in dealing with

consumers and the media. Throughout the day, conference participants will be able to select from 14 topics during four workshop sessions. Break-out workshop speakers will present information about exercise, scrapbooking, gardening, home energy costs, cake decorating and more. Each presenter has a wealth of knowledge in her respective field and will provide practical tips based on first-hand experience. Breakfast, lunch and a special dessert will be served by several locally-

owned businesses. Door prizes will be included throughout the day’s entertainment. Registration for the entire day, which includes a continental breakfast, lunch, and materials, is $30 if postmarked by Feb. 25. Registrations postmarked after that date are $35. A special “bring a friend” rate of $55 for two registrations is also available if postmarked by Feb. 25. Registration forms are available at local ISU Extension offices or may be printed off at www.extension.iastate.edu/shelby.

financial advisor, upon identifying obstacles to your success, may recommend changes to your “plays” — the individual actions that make up your overall financial strategy. To illustrate: After reviewing the progress you’re making toward the retirement lifestyle you seek , your financial advisor determines that your retirement plan — e.g., your owner-only 401(k), SEPIRA, SIMPLE IRA or whatever plan you’ve chosen — is underfunded, contains a high percentage of conservative investments, and may need potential growth opportunities.. Consequently, your financial advisor may help you decide it's time for an "audible" – in other words, it's time to re-evaluate so you may consider adjusting your contribution level and investment mix. A Super Bowl team needs a good quarterback — and so does your business. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Renovations complete on former Oddfellows building From RENOVATE Page 1 “Arch Icon will be doing historic renovation of buildings into multi family housing units,” Mindy said. The Crooks received funding help from several sources, in order to make the $1.5 million project a reality. Sources included: Farmers Trust and Savings Bank; City of Woodbine Tax Increment Financing; federal historical tax credits; state historical tax credits; state CDGB funds under the Façade Master Plan; Iowa Finance Authority I-Jobs; Main Street Iowa I-Jobs; Grayfield tax credits; State Housing Trust Fund; Rural Energy for America Program Grant

and a Harrison County REC loan. “These funds made the project cost manageable,” Mindy said. “It wouldn’t have happened otherwise.” The funding was only one of the difficult obstacles the Crooks faced during the renovations. The other was working around what was already there. “One of the biggest obstacles was working around all the historical challenges,” Mindy said. “We were trying to save as much as we could and not damage things while demolition and reconstruction were happening. But you have to love a challenge!” To help with that chal-

lenge, the Crooks turned to several entities, including NuStyle Development, Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture, the Iowa Finance authority, Main Street Iowa, the Woodbine Main StreetChamber, Farmers Trust and Savings Bank, the Woodbine Community foundation, the City of Woodbine, the Harrison County Rural Electric Cooperative, the Iowa Department of Economic Development, the State Historic Preservation Office, USDA Rural Development, SWIPCO and the Bunk House Café. “We just couldn’t have pulled it off without the guidance and

experience of other developers and Main Street Iowa,” Mindy admitted. “We want to thank everyone that was involved in the project. We couldn’t have done it without them and it is what made the project such a great success for Woodbine. We also want to thank the community for its support and for working around all of the construction.” One tenant already occupies an apartment, and several applications have been submitted. However, apartments and office space are now available for lease. Please contact Mindy Crook at 592-1127 for pricing information or with questions.

Persia man charged with manslaughter Local boy comes From REINDERS Page 1 Center in the days after the shooting, according to his lawyer. Jackson, 54, was gunned down Jan. 6 at the Shell Rapid Lube near 114th Street and West Center Road, where he worked as assistant manager. Reinders was arrested Jan. 26 by Omaha police. Prosecutor Matt Kuhse said Jackson was shot in the head and that material found with Reinders matched evidence found at the scene. J. William Gallup, Reinders' attorney, said his client has "serious mental issues" and "problems with his thought process." Gallup said Reinders will be sent to the Lincoln Regional Center for the mental evaluation. He said the examination will be used in trying to determine if Reinders is competent to stand trial. Reinders, on Jan. 27, waived his preliminary hearing and was ordered to stand trial. Gallup said Reinders' mental condition wors-

ened prior to the shooting. A brother of Reinders declined to comment. Gibson said when police relayed witness accounts of the suspected shooter, she immediately said, "That's Justin. He lives in Iowa." Gibson said she has known Reinders for more than 10 years, but said he was more of a friend to Jackson than to her. She said Reinders' mother died when he was a teenager and she felt sorry for him. Jackson brought Reinders by to see her in November. She said she didn't know of any trouble between the two men. "Look who I brought for you," Gibson recalled her husband saying when Reinders entered the apartment. "I said ‘Oh, Justin,' and hugged him." Later, Jackson told Gibson that Reinders was having financial problems and needed a job. Gibson said she saw Reinders again Dec. 26 at a Big Lots store. She was with the 29-year-old son she had with Jackson. "He looked troubled,"

she said of Reinders. "His face was different, like he was unhappy or stressed out. He came around and gave us a hug, told us ‘Merry Christmas.' " Omaha police have not given a motive for the shooting. The shooter ran from the oil change station on foot. Police said that at some point he got into a red vehicle with Iowa license plates and drove off, at times reaching 100 mph. The vehicle was later spotted near Neola. Court documents state that authorities in Harrison County got a phone call the morning after the shooting regarding the man police were looking for. The caller said two men, one of them Reinders, got out of a black car and went into a house in Persia. Sheriff Patrick Sears and two deputies went to the house. Reinders' father and brother said Justin wasn't there and refused to let the sheriff and deputies inside, according to documents. Reinders' father even-

tually told authorities they weren't welcome because Justin Reinders had an inactive marijuana-growing operation in the house. When authorities did get inside with a search warrant, they found evidence of the operation, including three ice houses, a drier heat pump, growing lights and suspected marijuana stems. The only furniture was a mattress, TV and small refrigerator. Authorities also located a box containing four .38 caliber bullets. An application for a search warrant states that Omaha police believe that type of bullet was used in the shooting of Jackson. Reinders' vehicle, a red 2000 Honda Accord, was found in a Walmart parking lot in Columbus, Neb., according to an affidavit by an Omaha police officer. A spent .38 caliber shell casing was found in the vehicle, the affidavit states. Contact the writer: 402-444-1279, jason.kuiper(at)owh.com The Omaha (NE) World-Herald

Divided organization meets in court

Attorneys Aimee Lowe, left, and Allen Nepper speak with Judge James Richardson. From TCA Page 1 ruled the two opposing factions within the organization must agree on terms of an officer election before further Town & Country Arts business, except for payment of bills, may proceed. The ruling means a Jan. 29 membership meeting planned by a faction including organization founder Norma Coret was canceled. “It’s a surprise,” said Coret, who founded the organization in 1977. Town & County Arts has about 150 to 170 members and is the only arts council in Harrison County. Coret said she is still a board member, along with Don Doumakes, Sharlotte Watson, Chris Hinkel and Bill McAlpine. That group, filing as Town & County Arts, submitted a petition in equity in Harrison County District Court against Joe Vittitoe, Eric and Lori Newberg and David Leonard. At the January 2010 membership meeting, Vittitoe was elected chairperson of the organization; Eric Newberg, vice chair; his wife, Lori, secretary; and Leonard, treasurer. The petition also lists

the board of directors assigned by the Vittitoe faction: Peggy Hill, Renea Anderson, Jim Perley, Rick Dilley and Deb Nelson. Dale Holcombe is also named as a defendant in the suit, though a crosspetition notes, “Bill Holcomb is a director of this corporation and the Dale Holcombe listed has no connection to the organization.” The petition charges that the defendants – the Vittitoe faction – “have commenced a pattern of action to interfere with the board of directors” of Town & County Arts. According to the petition, those interferences include changing the locks at the TCA building in Modale, attempting to invade the bank account of the organization, attempting to destroy the relationship of the current board of directors with the membership of the organization and changing the mail box of the organization. In its response to the petition, the Vittitoe faction denies all of the allegations. In a cross-petition, the Vittitoe faction claims that they are the actual officers and directors of the arts organization and take

issue with the Coret faction acting as Town & Country Arts. The Vittitoe faction states Coret and Doumakes submitted letters of resignation in early 2010, while as of January 2010 Hinkel had not paid organization dues for about five years. On July 14, Anderson, Holcomb, Perley and Hill were appointed to the board of directors by the Vittitoe side, while Nelson was added on Aug. 11. In July 2010, “presumably in response to the replacement of directors, (the Coret faction) began acting as if they were the board of directors of the corporation,” the counterpetition states. Town & Country Arts bylaws require a membership meeting to be held in January. At the meeting, officers are elected and other organizational business is handled. In a press release issued in early January, the Coret faction announced a membership dinner would be held on Jan. 29 in Missouri Valley, featuring a lecture by Briar Cliff College English and writing professor Phil Hey. That event was cancelled. The Vittitoe faction filed an injunction to prohibit either side from holding an annual meeting until the matter is resolved in court, leading to last Tuesday’s hearing. According to court documents, the Vittitoe faction has requested that the court schedule the annual members meeting, believing that a meeting held according to court parameters with both sides agreeing to acknowledge

election outcomes would resolve the dispute. After the hearing Jan. 25, Leonard said the dispute began in January 2010, shortly after the officer elections, though he declined to detail feud specifics. He said he couldn’t believe the matter ended up in court. “We should’ve been able to resolve this on our own,” he said outside the courtroom. “It just escalated and escalated.” That was as much as the Vittitoe faction would say. Vittitoe himself directed questions to attorney Aimee Lowe of TelpnerPeterson Law Firm in Council Bluffs, who represented the faction at the Tuesday hearing, filling in for the group’s attorney, Jack Ruesch. Lowe declined to comment on the ruling, how bills would be handled, if the locks were changed and more. “We have no comment right now,” she said. Lingering in the courtroom afterward, Watson said she was happy the group was being given the opportunity to resolve the issue. “Though that may be a pie in the sky idea,” she said. But Jay Randall, a former chair of the organization and long-time member who was at the hearing, said he hopes something will be worked out. “We are a community organization working for the common goal of bringing the arts to our county,” he said. “We can try to come together; we have to.”

to the rescue From BENNETT Page 1 Pauley was attempting to take the Christmas lights off of an evergreen tree by her house that particular, scary Sunday. “I was on a two foot ladder outside, and I know it wasn’t necessary,” Pauley admitted. “My family always takes down the lights for me, but I felt like being outside that day. I just fell and was laying on the front lawn. I saw cars driving by and they just couldn’t see me.” So when Bennett approached his friend and neighbor and realized she wasn’t just waving, but injured and laying on her back, he didn’t waste any time. And as he drew closer, Pauley could tell someone was close and began to say, “I need help! I can’t get up!” “When he came closer, he was kind of scared. You would be, too, finding someone laying on the lawn,” she said. She asked him to go across to the neighbor’s house and call the Woodbine Fire and Rescue unit. She watched him as he began to run – not walk – to the neighbor’s house. “She asked me to go to the neighbors and call 9-11. I asked if she was OK,” Bennett remembered. Bennett ran back across the street and stayed with his friend until the unit arrived, estimating it only took about 10 minutes. “But there were four cars that went by that didn’t even stop,” Bennett said, frustrated that no one was stopping to help. Pauley had, in fact, broken her hip in the fall. She is now recovering from the fall in rehabilitation at Rose Vista. “I couldn’t move until he came over,” she said. “I just have to thank him for coming. I’m glad he came. I haven’t talked to him since, but I would like to. I would tell him I’m doing fine.” Bennett’s simple act to help a fallen friend hasn’t changed his outlook on life. He will be receiving a badge from his Boy Scout leader for his heroic efforts, but that’s not where his focus lies. “You should always help other people,” he said, matter-of-factly. “Be a hero!”

Valentine’s Day VALENTINE’S DAY: Mon., Feb. 14 Celebrating a sweet treat Valentine’s Day classic Valentine's Day and chocolate seem synonymous, but another confection rules the roost come the day of love. Since 1902, NECCO Sweethearts Conversation Hearts have played a pivotal role on Valentine's Day. The concept for these sentiment-reading candies came during Abraham Lincoln's presidency. During that time, mottos were all the rage. Other candies were produced with mottos printed on paper rolled up inside of the candy. But until this point there were no candies with the words were printed directly on the confection. In the 1860s, Daniel Chase, the brother of NECCO founder Oliver Chase, began printing sayings directly on candy using experimental methods. Eventually the candy hearts became a coveted

Valentine's Day tradition. Sweethearts have featured different sayings throughout the years, and starting in the 1990's, began higher-tech phrases, such as "Fax Me" and "E-mail Me." In 2009, the company asked the American public to tell how they express feelings of affection. The 2010 series of Sweethearts featured customer-provided sayings and bright, bold colors. The candies also were revamped to be softer and more enjoyable to eat. The entire production of Sweethearts is available for a limited time and usually sells out in a matter of weeks. Those who love the candies better act fast to secure their sweets for this season. To learn more about Sweethearts Conversation Hearts and fun recipe ideas, visit www.mysweethearts.com.

Many early Christian martyrs were named Valentine, which can make it confusing when trying to figure out just who is being honored on Valentine's Day. While there might be many martyrs named Valentine, the two honored on Valentine's Day are Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. The former was a Roman priest who was martyred in roughly 269 AD, while the latter was bishop of what is now Terni who was martyred in 197 AD. It was not until the 14th century that any of today's popular romantic elements began to take shape when celebrating Valentine's Day. As a result of those new developments, the distinctions between Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni were gradually lost, eventually prompting the feast of St. Valentine on February 14 to be removed from the General Roman Calendar in 1969.

Legals/Sports Lady Tigers smash West Harrison

Boys Hoops: Win one; Lose two JEFF POWERS For The Twiner Jan. 25 IKM, 59: Woodbine, 35 On Jan. 25, Woodbine, the sixth cede, traveled to Dunlap to take on third ceded IKM Manning in a first round Western Valley Conference tournament game. Woodbine would be out to avenge a lopsided 67-26 loss to IKM on Dec. 10. It would be a tough test for the Tigers because IKMManning has a severe size advantage over the Tigers. With eight turnovers and only 5 rebounds in the first quarter, the Tigers didn’t help their cause letting the Wolves get out to an early 20-12 lead. The Wolves inside game would continue to dominate the Tigers, outscoring them by 8 in the second and 10 in the third quarter. The Tigers would win the fourth quarter, beating the Wolves 6-4. The Tigers defense played well, but size advantage of IKM proved too much. The Tigers did improve in losing by 24 points compared to 41 points in

their first meeting. “I thought that the guys really played hard and worked together during this game.I felt that we played with them for three quarters and just had one bad quarter and that really hurt us against them. Ethan Lenz and Jacolby Ehlert really played a great game for us and really stepped up and came ready to play,” head coach Heath Still said after the game. Leading the scoring for the Tigers was Lenz with 20 points followed by Ehlert with 6, Sam Powers with 5 and Jameson Delaney and Alex Klein with 2 points each. Klein led with 9 rebounds followed by Lenz with 6. The Tigers were 13-48 shooting and committed 25 turnovers. Jan. 27 Woodbine, 52: COU, 47 The Tigers traveled to Charter Oak on Thursday to take on the Bobcats in a second round game of the Western Valley Conference tournament. It would be the third meeting of the year and a rubber match as each

team previously won on their home court. The Tigers needed to bring their defense to beat the Bobcats on their home court after giving 76 points the last time in Charter Oak. The defense didn’t disappoint the Tiger faithful in the first quarter giving up only 9 points, as Woodbine took an early 15-9 lead. The Tigers kept up the intensity in the second quarter and maintained their lead going into halftime with the score 26-21. Jameson Delaney and Ethan Lenz led a balanced scoring attack with 8 points each in the first half. The second half saw the Tigers extend their lead several times only to have the Bobcats fight back to make it close. The Tiger defense would never relinquish the lead and the offense always answered the Bobcat surges. Sam Powers and Davis Hackman led the second half with 9 and 7 points each. Hackman made two clutch free throws with seconds left to seal the victory for the Tigers. “This was a good team win as we had numerous guys in the scoring column. I thought we played as a team and really looked to push the ball and make the extra pass,” Stille said. Hackman led all scorers with 12 points followed by Delaney with 11, Lenz with 10, Powers with 9, Jacolby Ehlert with 6 and Alex Klein with 4 points. enz led the team with 8 rebounds followed by Klein with 7 rebounds. The Tigers were 20-58 shooting and committed only 11 turnovers. Jan. 28 West Harrison, 83: Woodbine 68 The Tigers traveled to Mondamin on Friday night for a conference game, sandwiched in the middle of the Western Valley Conference tournament, to take on the Hawkeyes of West Harrison. With a decisive 60-42 win over the Hawkeyes on Dec. 17, the Tiger faithful were confident a victory was at hand. This year the Tigers haven’t played well having played the night before, and this night would be no exception.

The first quarter would set the tone for the night. West Harrison came in an aggressive man to man full court press and a run at no expense offense. The Tigers answer to the Hawkeye attack was numerous turnovers, not attempting many shots and giving up easy baskets to the Hawkeyes. The Hawkeyes would jump out to 14-0 lead before Davis Hackman scored at the 3:26 mark. The quarter would end with the Hawkeyes leading 21-7. In the second quarter the offense would fare better, but there was still no answer to the fast breaks and press from the Hawkeyes who extended their lead to 42-24 at halftime. The second half was a mirror image of the first as the Hawkeyes built their lead to 64-39 at the end of the third quarter. The fourth quarter was probably the best offensive quarter of the year as eight players combined to score 29 points. Jameson Delaney chipped 18 points in the second half to lead the Tigers. It was all too little too late as the Hawkeyes had the game in hand before the fourth quarter Justina Royer goes for the shot. Photo: Dawn Powers and went on to win 8368. JEFF POWERS “This was a tough For The Twiner game for us coming off a big win the night before. Jan. 28 I did not think that we Woodbine, 54: West Harrison, 37 came focused and ready The Lady Tigers traveled to Mondamin last to play at all and we really need to work on that Friday night for a conference game against the the next 2 weeks before Hawkeyes of West Harrison for their only game of districts start. I was the week. With almost a weeks rest, the Tigers had plenty of proud of our effort in the 4th quarter as we put up energy to take on a confident Hawkeye team. The 29 points, but we need to Tigers would take advantage and dominate the play more consistent Hawkeyes as they played their best game of the across the board,” Stille year. Led by Shelby Hall’s 7 points and some hot said. The Tigers leading shooting at the free throw line, the Tiger offense scorers were Delaney scored 16 points in the first quarter. The defense also with 20 points followed played well, limiting the Hawkeyes to just 11 points. by Sam Powers with 12, The second quarter was more of a defensive battle Ethan Lenz with 11, by both teams. Led by Rebekka Boer’s 4 points, the Hackman with 10, Tigers did extend their lead to 25- 18 at halftime. The Lady Tiger defense dominated the third Jacolby Ehlert with 6, Drew Radloff with 4, quarter limiting the Hawkeyes to 4 points. With 19 Levi Brown and Alex seconds left, Justina Royer had a 4 point play, four Klein with 2 each, and free throws (two on a foul and two on a technical Seth Willis with 1 point. foul) to take a 35-22 lead into the fourth quarter.

Classifieds Gypsy moths strengthen foothold in Iowa Iowa is on the western edge of the gypsy moth spread and woodland owners are likely to witness increased tree mortality as this leaf eating invader gains a stronger foothold within the state. Gypsy moths, imported to Boston in 1869 as an experiment to help provide silk for the textile industry, have become the most important defoliating insect of hardwood trees in the Eastern U.S. In 2009, 82 adult male gypsy moths were captured in Iowa. In 2010, the number captured jumped to 2,260. “Based on previous states’ experience, we can expect to see the number of male gypsy moths captured in our traps to increase if we do not start managing this pest,” forest health specialist with the Iowa DNR Tivon Feeley said. “This is one pest that we know a lot about, but unfortunately, we don’t know how to stop it, only how to control its populations.”

Foresters with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources will be working with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, APHISPPQ, U. S. Forest Service and the USDA Gypsy Moth Slow the Spread Foundation to look at options to hinder the reproduction of the moth. The Foundation works with states along the front edge of where gypsy moths are encroaching and uses pheromones to confuse the adult males into not finding a female during the mating season. “We are still at a low level of moths,” Feeley said. “If we do not control these populations, we will start to see increased tree loss as the population expands.” The damage is done in the caterpillar phase which runs from May through July, and the unpleasantries extend beyond tree destruction. During those peak nuisance months, gypsy moth caterpillars crawl

over homes, RVs in campgrounds, vehicles, outdoor furniture and lawns leaving waste from their feeding. The hairs on gypsy moth larvae can also cause allergic reactions to certain people causing rashes on the inside of legs and arms and abdomen. Economies Hurt Defoliation caused by feeding caterpillars reduces the beauty that forests provide along scenic byways, state forests, and state and county parks in the area, and the recreational experiences for residents and visitors. Reduced camping within infested areas will lead to less revenue for those parks and increasing costs to clean-up after the mess. Gypsy moths have the potential to change the makeup of Iowa’s oakhickory forest and the wildlife community along with it. They have few natural predators: birds, beetles, spiders, mice, chipmunks and squirrels will eat adult

moths, mice, shrews and ground beetles will eat the caterpillars. They prefer oak leaves, but will feed on the leaves of all trees, including spruce. In an outbreak year, they will eat anything. The population cycles seven to 10 years between outbreaks. Losing leaves early during the growing season reduces the tree’s health and growth, causing oaks to abort their acorns and repeated defoliation can allow an otherwise non-lethal disease, pest or drought to overwhelm the tree and kill it. That is bad news for Iowa hunters and for businesses dependent upon Iowa grown oak. Oak acorns are an important food source for deer and turkey. Hunters spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year pursuing Iowa whitetails and gobblers. Sawmills and timber buyers buy oak trees for its popular wood. The wood industry supports 18,000 jobs with an economic benefit of nearly

$1 billion annually. Both the hunting and wood industry would be adversely affected by the damage gypsy moth causes. Forest ecosystems suffer from the loss of shade that the leaves would have offered as protection for birds and their offspring. More light reaches the forest floor which can help invasive plants grow and spread faster. Many native understory plants grow better under shady conditions. In urban settings, of the 26 million trees that line city streets, 5.5 million are preferred host trees for gypsy moth that would cost nearly $3 billion to remove if they died as a result of not controlling gypsy moth. The Impact What will happen to Iowa trees once the

gypsy m o t h becomes f u l l y established is not known. What is known is that moths feed on 300 different types of trees and that will impact Iowa woodland owners, hunters, campers, fall color viewers and those who buy and sell wood logs for use in wood products. “We have been monitoring for gypsy moths since 1972 and now that they are here, we will have to start dealing with them. This is obviously not good news for Iowa’s woodlands,” Feeley said.

The Woodbine Twiner

February 2, 2011

Sports Tigers tally ninth with nine at Guthrie Center Jan. 29 Guthrie Center Tourney The Woodbine Tigers finished ninth at the 2011 Guthrie Center Tiger Invitational with 100 points. The tally wasn’t bad, according to head coach Matt Mentink. “Ninth wasn’t too shabby with only nine wrestlers,” he said. Out of those nine, Tiger grapplers, two emerged as champions. Dalton Peterson (189), once again, emerged as tourney champ after taking out Guthrie Center’s Jon Moses in a 41 second pin and Northwest Webster’s Ronnie Allbee in a 5-1 decision before facing the class 2A number two ranked wrestler Jack Manning of Woodward Granger in the championship match. The match was tight and came down to the last 30 seconds as Peterson rode Granger out to maintain his one point lead, finishing the match 4-3. Aside from earning title as tourney champ, Peterson earned his 151st career win and was named the outstanding tournament wrestler by the workers, officials and coaches. While Peterson’s title as champ may not come as new news for the Tiger faithful, Kyle Kuhlman (215) matched Peterson’s title with his own championship title. Kuhlman worked his way through the brackets, first pinning Humboldt’s Dylan Hendricks in 1:17 then Northwest Webster’s Daniel Goodwin in 3:24. In the semi’s, Kuhlman found himself facing Panorama’s Shane Van Meer, a state ceded wrestler. Kuhlman won the match solidly, in a 1410 decision before facing Nodaway Valley’s Greg Ford in the championship round. Ford worked his way through the brackets, taking pins as he went, but met his match against Kuhlman.

Kuhlman took Ford out of first place contention with a 7-2 decision. “He had a good day,” Mentink said. “He wrestled smart and he wrestled physically.” Junior Gavvon Shafer (152) completed the day in third after taking a 47 second pin and 7-0 decision before falling to I35’s Dallas Houchins in a heartbreaking 3-2 decision. Shafer fought back with a 50 second pin and a 5-1 decision against Nodaway Valley’s Rob Mensing for his third place finish. Lucas Hedstrom (112) and Mason Mentink (140) both finished fifth in the tournament. Hedstrom took a 6-5 decision before a third period fall then fell in the second and Mentink won a 3-2 and 5-4 before losing 7-1 and being pinned Malachi Mentink (125) pinned West Monona’s Alex Tank in 51 seconds Jan. 27.

At that time, a scholarship fund was established to encourage the youth of the state to attend Iowa’s fine colleges and universities. In 1990, the Foundation officially named the scholarship to honor the late Governor Blue. Robert D. Blue Scholarship applications are only accepted online through May 10 at www.rdblue.org.

LEGISLATIVE COFFEE

Over 35 people attended the legislative coffee sponsored by the Logan Kiwanis Club Jan. 27. A wide arrange of topics were discussed and Senator James Seymour and Representative Matt Windschitl both fielded a number of questions. Seymour commented that in Des Moines, “It’s a new day – things are developing. We could break a record this year on the number of bills filed.” Windschitl stated, “We have set a phenomenal pace to get things done. It’s time to cut back state government and get back to the essentials.” Photo: Submitted
