MV councilman suspect in theft ANDREW NELSON and JUAN PEREZ For The Twiner When Missouri Valley City C o u n c i l m a n Christopher Brooks resigned his post April 22, he cited “job obligations,” City Brooks Administrator Rita Miller said. He didn’t say those obligations included facing accusations of stealing from an employer. Omaha police arrested Brooks, 35, on April 25. Authorities suspect him of taking more than $271,000 from the River City Barricade Co. in Omaha, Neb., writing company checks to himself since 2007, said Lt. Darci Tierney, a police spokeswoman. Brooks remained in the Douglas County Jail on April 26, after being booked on suspicion of four counts of felony theft by deception causing a loss of more than $1,500. His initial court appearance was scheduled for April 27, said his lawyer, Michael Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick said his client, suffering from a guilty conscience, admitted he “misappropriated some funds” from his bosses at River City about three weeks ago. See BROOKS Page 6

Grants pay for projects, Weeding Warriors needed

ikes! So many projects are going on right now, it’s hard to keep track of what’s happening where with whom when. . .and who’s paying! The wonderful news is that projects such as the Woodbine Elevator as Public Art or the rain garden and native plantings soon to go in behind the Main Street Station are entirely grant funded! Federal, state and private foundation dollars are funding both of these projects…no city funds are being spent. The Façade Master Plan is a keystone project for Woodbine Sustainability and is funded through a blend of sources: a Community Block Development Grant, an Iowa West grant, city revitalization grant dollars, building owners, etc. The Façade Master Plan work will take place in three phases. The first phase included building such as the Odd Fellows renovation and the Main Street Canopy Station (check out the Community Meeting Room….it’s a great space for your next big family gathering). The second phase will encompass several facades in the 400 and 500 blocks of Walker. And phase three will take on several other buildings peppered up and down Walker, as well as on the connector streets. The Business Development volunteers will be passing out signs to various in-construction or completed projects for building owners to post in windows; watch for project signs counting up to 25! The Main Street Station & Community Meeting Room is sporting one of the signs: “Façade Master Plan 2010-2011 #3 of 25 projects---The Common Denominator: Woodbine Main Street Revitalization.” With all of these projects and more, it will be a busy, but satisfying, summer of work and change. There will be many volunteer opportunities in conjunction with these Main Street District projects. Woodbine Main Street volunteers are representative of many types of people: downtown business owners or employees, retired citizens, volunteers from school who recognize the symbiotic relationship between the downtown and the school district, etc. Here’s just one volunteer opportunity you might want to consider if you enjoy working in the great outdoors. A group of garden-weapon wielding, fearless diggers and hoers known as the Weeding Warriors formed last summer when weeds threatened to take over the new Iowa native plantings at the city’s gateway. You may have spotted them from time to time – whacking off undesirables under the Woodbine sign. Or maybe hanging by the tracks, harassing the “bad seeds” that dared to enter the city limits. The Weeding Warrior ranks are forming again; our charge is to beautify the landscaping in public areas around Woodbine. If you would like to join us, please email our administrative assistant tammyb@nustyle.com or the Main Street office at woodbinechamber@iowatelecom.net. We’d love to have you!

Lights! Heat! ... Now grow!

verybody talks about, but nobody does a thing about the weather. And weather has been a big topic across Iowa this spring. As I am typing this, hallelujah!; the day has dawned with sunshine. So where does this leave us for crops, let alone gardens and other growing things? I thought I would share a few thoughts and observations. To begin, several people have asked about the average date of first frost. That date varies from place to place in Iowa, so I looked at historical data from Logan to help answer that question. In over 118 years of weather data, the earliest last frost date was April 6 in 1896, followed by April 7 in 1955. More recently, it was April 9 in 2006. For the latest date on record, temperatures fell below 32F on May 29, 1947, but in the last 60 years, the latest is May 13 (1997). You ask, what is the average date of last frost? Since 1893, our local answer is April 30. Field Crops – Any corn that was planted (albeit only tiny acreages locally) a couple of weeks ago has been sitting in the soil. Corn will imbibe water at temperatures in the 30s, producing soft, juicy blobs of carbohydrates that are just ideal for infection by decay organisms. The problem is that it takes heat for the corn plant to grow. Under 50 F and growth is effectively nil. Fifty years ago, those kernels would be in big trouble, but in the years since then, plant breeders have selected genetics that have dramatically improved the seed’s ability to hang on. Add the advent of fungicidal seed treatments and seeds can fend off those decay organisms increasingly well. Therefore, much of the early planted corn is likely just sitting waiting for the heat, which finally as of April 29, we are starting to get. Soybeans are a bit more delicate, but then hardly any have been planted yet.

RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu Forage crops – Forages are the relative winners from the weather we have had. Most of the pastures and hay fields we have benefit from ample moisture and cool temperatures. As long as the stand was adequate, weather conditions have been great for forage production. Gardens – Early spring species like the cole crops (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, collards, kale), lettuce, radishes, onions, beets, carrots, peas, etc. are growing well now. By the time this is published, it is good time to transplant tender crops like tomatoes, peppers, tomatillos and eggplant. In addition, garden beans, okra, squash, melons and the rest should be ready to go. Lawns/turf – A light nitrogen application could be made in early May, and, it is now getting to the end of time to apply crabgrass prevention herbicides. If crabgrass is a major issue, look into improving your turfgrass stand to push it out in future years. Planning is an important tool. Remember it is likely too late to seed turfgrass now; better to wait until August to evaluate stand and condition of the turf and to over seed or re-seed areas.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Caution during spring The Woodbine Twiner planting Published in Woodbine, Iowa. A Western Iowa Newspaper Group Publication of Midlands Newspapers, Inc. Nikki Davis – Editor ndavis@woodbinetwiner.com

EXTENSION OFFICE

DEAR EDITOR, With spring planting activities gearing up, I would like to remind everyone who drives in rural areas to keep in mind that farm equipment will be traveling the roads. These large pieces of equipment, from tractors to planters to disks, etc., do not move as fast as a vehicle. Plus, most equipment is oversized for the roadway. Drivers, please keep in mind that “slow-moving” equipment may be just around the next corner. Please drive cau-

tiously, be patient and stay calm. Actions to keep in mind include slowing down as soon as you see a piece of farm equipment, watching for hand signals, being aware of the slow-moving vehicle emblem, watching for flashing amber lights, don’t speed past farm machinery and don’t pull in front of a slow-moving vehicle and suddenly slow down. The SMV emblem means that what it is attached to will not be going over 25 mph. Farmers are very aware of the size of their equipment and its speed and strive to be as safe as possible on the roadways. They, too, want a safe planting season. Every time you get in your vehicle, strive to practice the golden rule of safe driving which is to set a good driving example.

Sincerely, Leonard Johnson

A word on the alumni banquet DEAR EDITOR, As secretary for Woodbine’s 2011 Alumni Banquet, I would like to take this opportunity to invite all Woodbine Alumni to come to this year’s banquet! The banquet will be on May 28 at the Shadow Valley Golf Course. Anyone that has not received a letter can either go to www.woodbineschools.c om and print one or give me a call at 712-643-5170. There will be tours

given at the school by the Key Club before the banquet on Saturday from 2:30-4:30 p.m. Registration will begin at 4:45 p.m. at the Golf Course and the banquet will begin at 6 p.m. We will be honoring the class of 1961 and welcoming in the class of 2011! We will have a meal, a short meeting, roll call of classes and a DJ will provide music. We invite everyone to stay and enjoy the music and fellowship! I also want to thank everyone involved in making the Alumni Banquet possible. Thank you to everyone that has donated to either the Alumni Association or the Scholarship fund! Your generosity is greatly appreciated! The class of 1986 looks forward to seeing you on May 28! Sincerely, Mary Klein

HCSWC Fourth Grade Foresters AAUW former

Lou Waite, left, presented Sharon Royer’s fourth grade students with trees as part of the Fourth Grade Foresters program. Photo: Nikki Davis Harrison County Soil and Water Conservation District provided trees to all the fourth grade classes in Harrison County. Iowa’s state Arbor Day was celebrated on April 29 this year and 185 Fourth Grade Foresters in Harrison County rolled

up their sleeves and planted a tree. The kids became members of Fourth Grade Foresters of Iowa. The project’s goal is to help revitalize a remarkable idea – observation of Arbor Day in America’s schools. Fourth graders at Woodbine, Lo-

Ma, Missouri Valley and West Harrison Elementary Schools in Harrison County received a total of 185 trees to take home and plant. The Harrison County Soil and Water Conservation District in Logan sponsored the trees and the commissioners presented the trees to all the students this week. “This project is made possible because community business people like Harrison County Soil and Water Conservation District covered the cost of each of the individually packaged evergreen trees, so that there was no cost to the students, the teachers, the school or the taxpayer,” Cofounder of the Fourth Grade Foresters Project Debra Ersch said. “It’s a wonderful way to show support for the community, education and the environment.”

Fourth Grade Foresters USA was created to provide a simple and inexpensive way for any individual, business or organization to send the fourth grade students at an elementary school home with a tree of their own to plant and care for. Each fourth grader received an individually packaged 12-18 inch evergreen tree seedling sealed in a polybag by workers with disabilities. Each package included information about Iowa’s Arbor Day and planting and care instructions. Now in the era of global warming and air pollution, tree planting is even more important than ever. Trees take carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere to help reduce warming and clean the air we breathe. Planting trees is a simple, inexpensive and easy way to address the problem.

Community HCDC hosts annual meeting HC GOP to host â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Republican Idolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Renea Anderson, left, presented Clinton and Charlene Keay of Perfection Learning and Perfection Press, with the Harrison County Development Corporation Lifetime Achievement Award at the banquet April 28. Photo: Mary Darling MARY DARLING For The Twiner The recognition of existing business and industry was the theme of the Harrison County D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation annual banquet April 28 at the Logan Community Center. One such business, Perfection Learning and Perfection Press, was saluted at the meeting. Human Resources Director Barb Oliver gave a history and update of the business since it began in 1926 in the home of William and Valborg Keay in Logan. It has now grown to a multi-million dollar company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eighty-two percent of our employees live and work in Iowa with 72 employed in Logan,â&#x20AC;? Oliver said.

The company has an annual payroll of two and a half million. Besides the Logan staff, there are 35 employees in Des Moines, three in Chicago, Ill., seven in Seattle, Wash., and 14 sales representatives around the country. Second generation owners, Clinton and Charlene Keay, were in attendance and presented with a lifetime achievement award by HCDC Executive Director Renea Anderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greatest joy I had in running this business was seeing the development of young people and seeing how they grew,â&#x20AC;? Clinton Keay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to recognize the people you have working for you.â&#x20AC;? Keay said he appreciates the accolades.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud and glad the third generation of the clan has kept the business going,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had plenty of opportunities to sell, but I objected violently. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine what I felt like when my son told me he was interested in taking over the business.â&#x20AC;? Keeping with the theme of the evening, Anderson stressed how important existing businesses are to the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to get new businesses, but we need to look at the ones already here and how important they are and what they mean to our area and the local economy,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All companies are important and all play an integral part in the economy.â&#x20AC;? According to Anderson, 75 percent of job creation comes from existing industry.

Kuhlman volunteers time for Festival

Kara Kuhlman, center, recently fielded phone calls in support of Iowa Public Televisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Festival.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Photo: Submitted Kara Kuhlman of Woodbine was on prime-time television recently for Festival, the annual fundraising drive for Iowa Public Television. Kuhlman fielded calls pledging support for IPTV as part of a contingent of 18 staff and student volunteers from AIB College of Business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being part of Festival is a great way for AIB to show support for a local nonprofit,â&#x20AC;? director of service learning and tutoring at AIB Julie Spicer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun volunteer opportunity. Most of our students were shy about taking their first call, but when they realized how easy it was they were anxious for more calls to come in.â&#x20AC;? The students enjoyed the chance to see behind the scenes at a live broadcast studio.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;One student said that the studio was much more simplistic than he expected,â&#x20AC;? Spicer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another thought it was interesting that volunteers play a large role in how the studio is run.â&#x20AC;? Kuhlman, a major in business administration and leadership, took part in Festival through the AIB Service Learning Center. The program demonstrates AIBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to community service. It rounds out AIBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional business education by promoting civic responsibility, personal growth and active learning in the AIB student body. Kuhlman and the other Festival volunteers added to the over 35,000 hours that have been volunteered by AIB students, staff and faculty since the program began.

From GOOGLE Page 1 The second train is presently borrowed from a man in Chicago, Warner said. This train will be replaced next year with a new locomotive due to the generosity of four county families that donated funds. “It will be built in October,” Warner said. The trains take riders along 1,700 feet of track through bridges and a tunnel. This year additional features include two mini authentic water towers. Inside the 100-foot by 32-foot train depot/museum, you will find the Robert and Trish Rand collection of mini brass Union Pacific engine replicas of every train the company built. As well as several added items including a 55-inch screen TV used to show educational train films. “Hennessey-Aman Funeral Home in Missouri Valley donated funds toward the screen,” Warner said. This year a collection of 85 commemorative train plates, donated by Mr. and Mrs. Bill Stevens of Missouri Valley, are also on display. “They are just fantastic,” Warner said. Inside the depot you will also find a miniature HO scale train set from Craig Guttau that takes up 160 square feet. “There are over 200 hand painted buildings on it and room for seven running trains at one time. There is a roller coaster and all the buildings light up,” Warner said. The committee will also be mounting a new railroad clock outside donated by the Kiwanis Club. According to Warner, holding birthday parties at the museum has become a popular event. “We already have five private parties booked,” he said. “There are already repeats.” To book a party you can call 712-642-2210 during operating hours or contact Warner at 644-2456. During the first year, Warner said the attraction had more than 25,000 visitors with more than 12,000 riding the train. “We had people visit our first year from 57 different countries, he said, with about 50 percent of the people that ride from the metro area.” It takes a host of volunteers to keep the facility up and running smoothly with about 70 presently volunteering their time. “We are always looking for more,” Warner said. He can be reached at 644-2456 if you would like more information.

Fighting for passport privileges From PASSPORT Page 1 offices in the state out of the passport business. County recorders have issued passports since 1994. “We’ve always completed the training. We are very disappointed to hear this,” she said. “It’s not a numbers issue to us, it’s a service issue. It would just take away another service now offered at the courthouse,” Thompson said. Prior to receiving notification of the pending change last October, Thompson purchased a passport photo camera for the office making all services available on site. “It’s been the best thing,” she said. Thompson has devised a plan to try to keep the service at the courthouse. “Rene Hiller and Margie Heffernan will continue as acceptance agents for passports,” Thompson said. “Patty Kelley and myself will no longer have access.” The passport service will also physically be in a separate location at the courthouse. Sometime after May 1 analysts of the Department of State Acceptance Facility Oversight Program will perform an onsite inspection. “There is no guarantee this plan will be approved, but we will try,” Thompson said. “I think they will be very tough about keeping the duties separate, but I think we can do it.” If approved, service may just be more limited than before with those applying for passports needing to call ahead. If the plan isn’t approved, area residents can still obtain passports at the Missouri Valley Post Office.

The Harrison County Supervisors were presented with this 1934 lithograph of the United States Constitution April 28 by American Legion members Bob Dean, left, commander and Jerry Sorick, adjutant. Board members are Bob Smith, Walter Utman and Gaylord Pitt. The framed 40-by-52-inch lithograph will be on display at the Harrison County Courthouse. Photo: Mary Darling MARY DARLING For The Twiner Harrison County became county number 54 April 28, in Gary Stephenson’s quest to put a framed 1934 lithograph of the U.S. Constitution in all 99 Iowa counties. Stephenson was joined by members of American Legion Post 118 and VFW Post 6256 in presenting the lithograph to the Harrison County Board of Supervisors.

The lithograph was first printed in 1934 by the widow of Harry S. Atwood, a well-known constitutional scholar of the day. It was a reproduction of an illuminated U.S. Constitution painted by Nestore Leoni, an Italian artist, around the turn of the century. Stephenson’s father had discovered about 200 of the lithographs in the warehouse of Illinois Lithography, that went out of business in 1978. He borrowed $15,000 to

buy the prints in 2005 and began framing them and hanging them in courthouses, high schools, middle schools and libraries in Iowa. Since his father’s passing in 2008, Stephenson has taken up the quest to present the prints to every county in Iowa. Stephenson received approval from the Harrison County Board of Supervisors earlier this year and gathered sponsorships from business in the county to help pay for the lithograph.

They include: Eby Drug Stores, First National Bank of Logan, Harrison County Farm Bureau, Harrison County Title and Guaranty Company, Loftus Heating, Inc., Logan Auto Supply, Logan Car Care, Logan Hardware, Inc., Strong Insurance Agency and Warner Insurance Agency. “We commend Gary for going out to get sponsors for this,” said Board Chairman Bob Smith. “It’s a great addition to the courthouse.”

From BROOKS Page 1 In order to pay restitution, Brooks, an office manager, has turned over to the company a motor vehicle and a boat with a combined value of about $20,000, Fitzpatrick said. “My client has admitted to some wrongdoing,” Fitzpatrick said. “He wanted to come clean and wanted to do his best to make it right.” He disputes the $271,000, figure, saying he believes Brooks owes about $50,000, not including what he has already given to River City Barricade. “We are going to work with the County Attorney’s Office. We are planning on working together with them to prove what the exact amount is,” Fitzpatrick said. River City Barricade, 2605 Deer Park Blvd., provides traffic control devices for city streets and construction zones. Company officials have declined to comment. Brooks was appointed to the Missouri Valley City Council in March 2010, after another member resigned, Miller said. Missouri Valley Mayor Clint Sargent called the arrest surprising. He said Brooks was an advocate for youth activities and was knowledgeable about infrastructure issues. Miller said the resignation also came as a surprise. “He didn’t seem upset,” she said. “He just came into my office and returned the city code book, which every City Council member has.” Fitzpatrick said his client wanted to be accountable for his actions. “He’s a stand-up individual who made a mistake. His conscience got the better of him, and he has come forward because he wants to do the right thing.”

Sports Uncooperative weather for WHS golfers Lady Tigers take Lawton-Bronson; second at home

Melissa Sheerer

Seth Willis

The weather has not been cooperative for Woodbine’s golf teams, with the team only squeezing two meets in each in the past two weeks due to inclement weather. April 18, Manning The boys’ golf team travelled to Manning on April 18 to shoot a round of golf. The weather was cold and windy, a seemingly constant trend for their 2011 season. As a team, the Tigers took third of six teams competing, but there was a major high point. “We had the first and second place medalists,” head coach Tim Marshall said. “It was very nice and all the boys played well.” Davis Hackman led the meet, hitting a 40 on the day and leaving him in first place. Teammate Seth Willis shot a 43 and walked away with silver. Other golfers included: Joe Brown, 51; Chris Johnson, 53; Patrick Glackin, 62; and Jay Radloff, 63. April 18, Onawa The Lady Tigers’ golf team continues to struggle, placing fifth of five in Onawa on April 18. “It misted the entire meet,” Marshall said. “And this was probably our worst meet of the season.” Lady Tigers taking to the wet green included: Alyssa Valles, 66; Courtney Schlinz, 73; Jessica Allen, 79; Melissa Sherer, 85; Alaina Barnum, 91; and Heather Park, 107. Despite the low scores, Marshall is pleased with his team. “The girls continue to stick it out and continue to compete. That’s all I

can ask of them as they continue to show improvement,” Marshall said. April 26, Dunlap The boys’ golf team found themselves next door in Dunlap on April 26 for another tee off against conference rivals. Another cold and wet meet, the Tiger team finished four of six on the day. A highlight of the meet was delivered by Woodbine golfer Joe Brown, who found himself leaving with his first gold medal in golf. “This was his first, first place medal,” Marshall said. “We’ve always had good, individual results, we just need to gel together as a team. It’s tough. That’s why I keep telling the boys I want them to play well and do well individually, but we also need to gel as a team. We can golf with any team. From what I’ve seen with the boys, there really aren’t any teams that are that much better than us. We just need to show it.” Golfing for the team in Dunlap were: Joe Brown, 40; Davis Hackman, 45; Seth Willis, 52; Jay Radloff, 55; Chris Johnson, 55; and Patrick Glackin, 60. April 26, Woodbine The Woodbine girls’ golf team didn’t have far to travel on April 26 as they travelled to Shadow Valley Golf Course for a home meet. The team had high expectations, but finished five of five teams competing. “But I keep seeing improvement,” Marshall said. “Our team score even came down by 20 points.” Marshall also pointed out it wasn’t just the team score that was improving. “Courtney Schlinz, a freshman, golfed a 53 this meet. She didn’t medal, but she improved by 17 strokes from her best round,” he said. Schlinz, in previous meets, ended with 70 strokes or higher. She had made it a personal goal to land somewhere in the 50’s this season. Competitors included: Schlinz, 53; Alyssa Valles, 68; Heather Park, 72; Jessica Allen, 75; and Melissa Sherer, 77. “I know Alyssa wasn’t happy with her scores, but she is a consistent golfer. And Heather improved her game by 28 strokes. I’m so proud of these girls. This is awesome,” Marshall said. “I’m pleased with the girls. They have definitely been improving from the beginning of the year until now.” Both teams travel to Denison May 9 to compete in the conference. The meet begins at 1 p.m. “I’m excited. We’ve got two boys that are ranked in the top five in the conference, and as a team, we’re in fourth. We only need to be third to continue the season,” Marshall said.

April 28, Woodbine The Lady Tigers finished not far from first at their home meet on April 28, finishing second with 131 points, just behind the meet champion Treynor with 155. In field events, Meagan Andersen began the meet right for the team with a 100-3.5 throw in the discus, finishing second and matching the finish in the shot put with a 34. Justina Royer made no qualms with her first place finish in the long jump after a 13-8 leap and Bekka Boer and Paige Hackman went fourth and fifth in the high jump with a 4-8 and 4-6 respectively. In running events, Kaitlyn Pulscher threw eight points towards the team tally with a second place finish in the 100 with a 13.68 and Heather Smith added one with a sixth place finish in the 200 with a 30.5. Shelby Hall, a possible stand out at the meet, walked away with four golds on the night – two in individual running events, the 400-meter dash after a 1:02.52 and the 800 with a 2:37.06. In the 100-meter hurdles, Alyssa Blum finished with 18.53, leaving her sixth, and, after a 1:20.94 in the 400-meter hurdles, finished fourth. Two Lady Tigers tallied silver in the hurdles, Royer in the 100 with a 17.41 and Hackman in the 400 with a 1:14.28. The relay teams faired well during the meet, taking first in three. The distance medley team, Pulscher, Shelby Behrendt, Royer and Hackman, finished in 4:51.76, the 4x4 with Hackman, Pulsher, Royer and Hall, finished with 4:29.52 and the sprint medley finished in 2:01.09 with help from Allison Lee, Behrendt, Pulscher and Hall. The 4x2 finished second in 2:00.43 with Lee, Smith, Lydia Payne and Behrendt, and the 4x1, Lee, Smith, Payne and Behrendt, managed third with a time of 58.91. The shuttle hurdle team, Smith, Blum, Lee and Boer, ended fifth after a 1:21.62 sprint. The 4x8 squad, Taylor Blum, Sarah Boer, Walcher and Claire Probasco, finished sixth. “Shelby Hall had a fantastic meet,” head coach Rod Smith said. “She returned home with four gold medals. We knew going in that Treynor had a lot of depth and were going to be the team to beat. I think we did well.” April 26, Lawton-Bronson The Woodbine Lady Tigers pulled out their first win of the year on April 26 in a long, cold and wet track meet at Lawton-Bronson. It was a narrow win, but one the team is happy to claim. “I asked the girls if it felt good to win,” head coach Rod Smith said. “They definitely think so. It was good to win.” The Lady Tigers won the Women’s B meet with a 161 team tally – two points ahead of Gehlen Catholic. It was a good feat. “You have all sorts of information available with help from the computer. I had been looking up Gehlen and told the girls I didn’t know if we could run with Gehlen because they have some depth,” Smith said. “I thought we’d be a few points behind them and I knew we were running without two of our point getters. But we put things together and ran some good races.” The meet, a long one bringing the track runners home at 2:30 a.m. the following morning, led the team to several medals – gold and otherwise. In field events, Meagan Andersen and Brittany Nelson both finished first and second in the shot put and discus. In shot put, Andersen threw a 33 feet, 1 inch launch and Nelson was about three feet shy with a 30-3. In discus, Andersen went 89-1 and Nelson, 851 for another gold and silver. In the high jump, Rebekka Boer’s 4-8 jump landed her second place and Paige Hackman’s 4-4 left her third on the night. In running events, Kaitlyn Pulscher earned more gold for Woodbine in the 200-meter dash with a 28.42 while Heather Smith ran a 30.10 for a sixth place finish. In the 400, Alyssa Blum landed fourth with a 1:12.63. In the 800, Shelby Hall finished with yet more gold with a 2:32.92 run and Boer went 6:16.04 in the 1,500 for fourth place. In the 3,000 Claire Probasco ended fourth with a 14:08.48. In hurdle action, in the 100-meter hurdles, Blum finished fourth with an 18.44 while Hackman took another gold for the team in the 400 with a 1:11.37. Blum also finished fourth with a 1:20.62. The Lady Tigers excelled in the relays. “I can not remember the last time, if we ever, won both the sprint medley and the 4x100,” Smith said. The 4x100 ran a snappy 59.01 with help from Andersen, Allison Lee, Lydia Payne and Shelby Behrendt and the sprint medley team, Lee, Behrendt, Pulscher and Hall, took gold with their 1:59.48. Pulscher, Behrendt, Hackman and Hall also pulled in gold as members of the distance medley team, ending the race in 4:26.70, as did the 4x200 with Lee, Payne, Smith and Behrendt. The 4x4, Hackman, Smith, Pulscher and Hall, finished second with a 4:34.94 as did the shuttle hurdle team, Smith, Blum, Lee and Boer, who ran a 1:21.75. the 4x800, Blum, Boer, Stephanie Walcher and Claire Probasco finished fourth with a 14:05.17 and four more team points. “It was a good win for them,” Smith said. “It’s just too bad we didn’t get home sooner to enjoy it.”

Sports/Community Woodbine boys’ track team continues a productive season

Zach Archer aims for the hurdles April 28 in Onawa. April 28, Onawa After four in a row, the Woodbine boys’ track team broke their gold spell after finishing seventh with 49 points at the West-Monona Spartan Relays on April 28. But with a few key players missing and giving others a chance to rest, head coach Jason Strong was not disappointed. “I am not disappointed,” Strong said. “We had some really good times and gave some guys a chance to participate that normally don’t.” Adding up the team points were Alex Klein and Kyle Kuhlman, as they continue to push each other in the 100meter dash. Klein secured second at the meet with an 11.07 and Kuhlman, fourth with 11.15. “Alex and Kyle continue to push each other,” Strong said. “If

they continue through districts, there’s a good chance they could both make it to state.” Kuhlman also secured second in the 200 with a 24.05 and eight team points. Fynn Lindner added one point to the team score in the 400 with a 59.59 and Archer added four with his fourth place finish in the high hurdles with a 16.44. Ethan Lenz added one point with a sixth place finish in the 1,600. Spencer Ball managed fifth in the discus with a 122-01 launch and sixth in the shot put with a 409.75, adding three for Woodbine. Brandon Workman added six for the team with his third place finish in the shot put with a 42-9. In relay events, the 4x800-meter team, Lenz, Jordan Jacobson, Malachi Mentink and Austin Quick landed fourth with a 9:27.86 and the shuttle hurdle team

Photo: Jeff Powers took third, Sam Powers, Mason Mentink, Gavvon Shafer and Zach Archer, with 1:05.14. The 4x1 took fifth with a 46.65 with help from Archer, Kuhlman, Shafer and Klein, with a 46.65. The 4x2, Archer, Kuhlman, Powers and Klein took sixth with a 1:38.71 as did the distance medley team, Montana Winther, Lucas Hedstrom, Tristan Hatterman and Jacobson, with a 4:20.94. The relay teams racked up 14 points by the end of the evening. “We had some personal bests, Kyle, Fynn and Sam in the high hurdles. The 4x1 ran their best time of the year, too,” Strong said. The boys’ team will travel to Logan on May 5 and to Underwood on May 6 for a make-up meet. April 26, LawtonBronson It was a long, cold, wet meet – but the Tigers

refused to give up their first place winning streak during the Lawton-Bronson Coed Invite on April 26. The Tigers eneded up as part of the Men’s Varsity B team, finishing the meet with 143 points, over Hinton who finished second with 131. Opening the meet with team points for the Tigers were Brandon Workman and Spencer Ball in the discus and shot put. Workman finished fourth in the shot with a 38 feet, 7 inch launch with Ball just behind him in sixth with a 37 toss. Ball bested Workman in the discus, although the pair finished second and third with a 122-3 and 117-9. In running events, Alex Klein and Kyle Kuhlman finished onetwo in the 100-meter dash with 11.05 and 11.41 respectively. The 200 was almost a repeat, but Klein finished first and Kuhlman third with 22.92 and 23.55. In middle distance, Fynn Lindner took fifth in the 400 and Austin Quick and Ethan Lenz finished fourth and fifth in the 800 with 2:15.54 and 2:18.66. In long distance, Quick and Lenz went third and fifth with 5:06.31 and 5:11.63 in the 1,600 and in the 3,200, Lenz finished second with an 11:04.38 and Levi Brown fourth with an 11:55.08. Zach Archer found himself with gold in the 110 hurdles with a 16.20. Teammate Sam Powers finished in 18.26, leaving him in fourth. In the 400 hurdles, Mason Mentink took third with a 1:04.64. In relay events, the Tigers walked away

with two golds and two silvers, plus a fourth and fifth place finish. The shuttle hurdle relay team, Archer, Powers, Mentink and Gavvon Shafer, and the 4x200, Archer, Powers, Kuhlman and Klein, both finished first. The shuttle hurdle team ran a 1:06.41 and the 4x2, a 1:37.09. Finishing with silver were the 4x8 and 4x1 teams. The 4x8, Jamison Delaney, Matt Monahan, Malachi Mentink and Quick, ran a 9:19.62, besting their own personal record from their last meet. The 4x1, Archer, Kuhlman, Shafer and Klein, ran a 47.11 for their silver. The 4x400-meter relay team, Monahan, Lindner, Mason Mentink and Quick, managed fourth with a 4:10.50, and the distance medley team, Montana Winther, Tristan Hatterman, Lucas Hedstrom and Jordan Jacobsen, finished fifth with a 4:23.29. “I thought our boys showed a lot of heart at the Lawton Bronson meet. They were excited about getting to compete again after a long layoff due to the weather, and they showed it on the track with a great team performance. I am very proud and impressed by the attitude and the level of commitment the boys have shown up to this point this season,” head coach Jason Strong said. “To win four team championships in a row to start the season is something that the Woodbine boys track team has not done in some time. It is a great accomplishment, but we want to continue to improve as we get closer to districts.”

CB resident sentenced to 15 years On April 26, 2011, Bret David Hauptman, of Council Bluffs, was sentenced to 15 months of imprisonment for possession of a firearm while subject to an order of protection. United States District Judge John E. Jarvey also ordered Hauptman to serve a three year term of supervised release following incarceration. Hauptman had entered a guilty plea in federal court in Council Bluffs, on Nov. 18, 2010, to possession of a firearm by a prohibited person for possessing a .22 caliber rifle on May 29, 2010. On May 29, 2010, Hauptman was found in possession of the rifle by officers with the Council Bluffs Police Department when they responded to a disturbance call at a residence in Council Bluffs. During the investigation by the Council Bluffs Police Department it was determined the Pottawattamie District Court had entered an Order of Protection on April 29, 2010, restraining Hauptman from harassing, stalking or threatening his wife. This case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa. The investigation was conducted by the Council Bluffs Police Department, the Pottawattamie County Attorney’s Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Classifieds Tips and pointers from the HCLF on spring cleaning DAN BARRY HCLC Solid Waste Manager With the arrival of nice weather, Harrison County residents want to get into the “spring cleaning” mode. We want to remind residents what recycling services are provided by the Harrison County Landfill Facility to help them in their spring cleaning efforts. Tire Disposal: Tires are accepted at the landfill for recycling purposes. Tires have been banned from burial in Iowa landfills since 1989. The tires are taken to a recycle facility, where they are shredded and used in a variety of recycling methods. We accept tires, at a disposal fee of $0.75/lb., which is our cost for having them sent away for recycling. There is a minimum charge fee of $2 for one tire. Two or more tires

average about $2 per tire for car and pickup tires. The tires must be delivered to the landfill off the rim, as the recycling company will not take them if they are still mounted. Oil, Antifreeze, 12V Batteries: The landfill will accept these items free of charge from residents. We have recycling companies which will come and get these products from us for recycling. The oil and antifreeze must be delivered in containers that are 5 gallon or less, so they can be transferred to our larger storage containers. Appliance Disposal: Appliances are accepted at the landfill so they can be demanufactured per the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ regulations before the scrap metal companies can process them. Freon appliances and nonFreon appliances are

kept in separate areas as we work with two different recycling companies for these items. The Freon appliance disposal fee is $15 each: Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers. The nonfreon appliance disposal fee is $12 each: Furnaces, hot water heaters, washers, dryers, stoves, microwaves, dish washers, trash compactors, florescent light fixtures. TVs, Computers, Electronics: E-waste material is accepted at the landfill for recycling purposes. These items are taken to a recycle facility and, like tires, we only collect our disposal fees which we pay to the recycling company. Pricing per unit/price are as follows: Computers and TVs up to 25 inch screens, $10 each; TVs with 26-40 inch screens, $20 each; TVs with 41 inch or larger screens, $30 each; con-

sole TVs (wood issues), $30 e a c h ; Miscellaneous E-waste items, $5 each. Household Hazardous W a s t e Disposal: There are a large number of items which fall into this category of material. The landfill facility is an HHW satellite site, for the Metro Waste Authority RCC in Bondurant. As an HHW satellite site, we are able to accept HHW from our residents free of charge. Businesses can deliver these materials to us with nominal disposal fees after completing the required paperwork. Residents can deliver the following items, after calling the landfill and setting up an appointment: Stains/varnishes,

paint removers, thinners, gas, kerosene, drain/oven cleaners, aerosol cans, metal polishes, rust removers, oil and lead based paint, ammonia based cleaners, petroleum based adhesives, rechargeable batteries, glues, caulk,

fertilizers,contact cements, pesticides, weed killers, florescent light bulbs, sharps. None of these listed items can be put into your trash. These items must be sent to Bondurant for proper disposal.
