Thomsen observes National Chiropractic Month NIKKI DAVIS Editor
October has been named National Chiropractic Month, and local Woodbine chiropractor Jackie Thomsen hopes it can be used to raise awareness on the benefits of chiropractic care.

Anderson celebrates 10 years Nov. 2 marks Harrison County General Election MARY DARLING For The Twiner After countless speeches, community events, parades and campaigning, candidates for office in the general election will see if it was all-worthwhile come Election Day, Nov. 2. “Harrison County is experiencing an increase in early voting from the general election held four years ago,” Harrison County Auditor Susan Bonham said. “The Auditor’s office has processed approximately 850 votes so far, and I expect that number to reach as high as 1,200 by Election Day.” Harrison County has two contests generating a great deal of this interest. With Larry King declining to run for another term as Harrison County Supervisor, many people showed interest in the position. With two seats open, Democrats on the ballot are Russell Kurth and Norma Coret and Republicans, incumbent Robert Smith and Walter Utman. Another race creating a great deal of attention is that of Harrison County treasurer. Vicki Argotsinger, the present treasurer, announced her retirement, which brought several candidates to the table in the primary election. Heather Hack Edney was the See ELECTION Page 6

Editorial
“A newspaper is a circulating library with high blood pressure.” ~Arthur Baer
CHAMBER CONNECTION MARVIN KELLEY APPLEFEST CHAIR
A big thank you
W
ell, despite the rain on Applefest, the day went on as usual – with inclement weather only affecting some aspects of the annual
event. Car Show chairs Merrill and Hazel Mohn, suffered some disappointment. It’s no wonder, after all of the hard work they put into the event, including new additions this year such as their own food stand. Their numbers were down by more than half that of 2009, understandably so due to the weather. However, Ed Perkins, tractor show chair, admitted that he had as many tractors as last year. The tractor show was moved to the ground level surrounding Merry Brook School. The flea market was affected by the weather as well. According to chairs Dwight and Marion Mills, sales were a little lower for the vendors, but the majority of them still made an appearance. Also affected by the lack of clear skies was a new event – The Harrison County Humane Society’s pet show. The weather kept many no-legged to four-legged friends indoors, but chair Kathy Alvis said the day was fun and they hope to be invited back next year. The weather also all but stopped any airport activity, much to the chagrin of Dencil Hammack. The weather didn’t dampen Applefest-goers’ appetites, though, Carmen Goodrich reported (he subbed for Jason and Misty Bush who were handling a family emergency). The food vendors remained busy throughout the day. John Webb, attempting to fill long time railroad depot chair Greg Pinkham’s shoes this year, said he had good support on Applefest day, too. Craft show chair Bev Ganzhorn and quilt show chair Nancy Foutch admitted the rain may have helped their events, driving people to seek shelter in the school. Nancy said the quilt show saw more people this year than previous years and believes this to be a result from moving the show into the school’s FCS room. I just want to say a big thank you to all those that helped organize and make this event become a reality for another year. Those listed above, as well as Woodbine Main Street volunteers, Vern Foutch, Elaine Ehlert, Burton and Hattie Moores, Linda Dickman, Bill Stephany, Zell Millard, Larry Caddell, Kenny Blum, Russ Hansen, Hattie and Burton Moores, Tony Smith, Clark Smith, Darrell Hansen, Dean Stephany and Tammy Barrett bring Applefest to life each year. There are countless others I’d like to thank – so if I did not mention you by name, I apologize – but want to sincerely thank you for your help and support. We are pleased to announce, after treasurer Jane Gardner tallied the days’ activities, we showed a profit of approximately $4,500. The Committee has already pledged to donate portions of the profits to the Golden Age Center, student scholarships, care packages for Woodbine soldiers abroad, the Angela Bush benefit fund, and other community endeavors. We look forward to a new platform for the 2011 year, hoping to bring in more volunteers, more efficiency, more internet interaction on the upgraded city Web site, and more. We are always open to new ideas to improve Applefest! Thank you all for your continued support!

Admitting my own ignorance
S
o I can finally write the column I’ve wanted to for a little over a month. I had a time frame – I didn’t really want this information out until after The Woodbine Twiner and Logan Herald-Observer’s 2010 Political Forum. But now, with the event taking place last week, I can spill the beans. Before I do, though, I would like to thank all those that attended the event – especially our treasurer and supervisor candidates who occupied the “hot seats” at the front of the forum. Each candidate came well prepared with researched and articulate answers. And, for those of you who weren’t there, they were only given two minutes to answer! Contrary to belief, none of these politicians went much over that. (Only three answers went past the two minute mark – but only at a maximum of 18 seconds!) And now that’s it’s over, and I’m spilling the beans – out they come. That was NOT my forte. Seriously. Politics has never been a strong suit of mine. It’s not that I’m not interested. Don’t mistake the difference. I firmly believe in the importance of being knowledgable before you vote. My problem comes in from sheer lack of interest. I was a disaster yesterday. I’ve been a disaster for the past month, actually, as I was volunteered to moderate the forum. WHAT? MODERATE? SERIOUSLY? The only forum I had ever attended before was the one previous publisher John Beaudoin held two years ago. Even then, I viewed the event as work … pregnant at the time … setting up chairs and tables and taking pictures for a story. Yup. That was it. So I immediately began to panic. And this is where, despite my begging not to do so, dear readers, you will probably laugh. I would. I don’t like government. I don’t like history. I don’t like social studies. It’s not that I don’t like the government. Or I don’t like our history. It’s just one subject I never “got in to,” for lack of better understanding. Yes, I got A’s in my classes. I did so by memorizing dates and facts and spilling them onto paper for tests. But because I never had the interest and merely memorized items for a test before my brain bumped them out of my head for more information perti-

nent to who I am, I never comprehended. Here’s where you’ll laugh. I had to e-mail Jason Strong for a Government 101 lesson. And no, I’m not kidding. He was probably shaking his head in disbelief how someone so incompetent is holding a job. Mr. Strong literally had to start from zip. Following Mr. Strong’s e-mailed Government 101 lesson, which I printed, still confused, I called on someone in town I know – someone with a like, artist’s mind. Dottie Seymour. I figured if her husband couldn’t explain this stuff to me … well, then maybe I shouldn’t have graduated from college. Better yet, from high school! So Jim and Dottie met with me. I’m sure it was a grueling experience for Jim. These ignorant, basic questions coming from a constituent over the age of 30. It border lined embarrassing for me. However, I never do anything half way. If I was going to moderate a forum, I HAD to understand what I was doing. I had to, at the very least, understand the basics. I believe Jim and Dottie spent about two hours trying to get my brain wrapped around politics. But … this ignorance of mine, at least I think, was a partial positive attribute to the forum. Without following politics, you can well be assured that I have no bias on party. Literally. None. And I bet, even after the forum, no one can guess which way I sway. (And as soon as I figure that out myself, I’ll let you know.) So thank you Mr. Strong and Jim and Dottie. I appreciate your time in making me a little less ignorant. I felt better going into the forum after having my questions answered. Still don’t feel great about standing up in front of people moderating, though. I guess there’s one big change I’d like to make to the forum, should we host another one in 2012. I’m going to wear more comfortable shoes.
Soils and a Bit of Rust
L
ast weekend I had the great experience of being a judge of the 29th annual FFA soil judging contest near Ames. There were 29 teams of 4 from High School Agriculture programs across Iowa who qualified for the state contest this fall. O.K. So you are probably wondering just what you would do to judge soils and why would you care? To start with that last question, the soil is one of the foundations for most of the things we do in life. And not all involve growing things. We all drive on roads and over bridge abutments that are supported by the underlying soil. Homes are built (and basements dug) in soils, and the stable bearing ability and position of local water tables dictate much about construction techniques. Another important soil feature is the use of soils as a filter for home septic systems so that we can recycle water into nature safely. But the most
direct use of soils in Iowa and particularly western Iowa is as a medium for plant growth. Row crops, forages, turf, ornamentals, shade trees and windbreaks and orchard and vineyards all are vitally dependant on the soils present. For the second part of how judging is done, the contest is held in three parts. The first is a comprehensive test of soil information, and challenges youth over knowledge they have gained in their high school course work. The second and third involve looking and evaluating soils in four dug pits placed in different places on the landscape. One part in the pit, judged by soil scientists from the NRCS and ISU Agronomy, involves characterizing the soil horizons to provide information that is the basis for the last part of the contest—management decisions. Thickness of various horizons coupled with texture (how clayey, silty or sandy it is), presence of
EXTENSION OFFICE RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu lime, and color are all key factors in evaluating uses of soils. Yes, color. The intensity of the black colors of the topsoil is derived from organic matter, and the brightness of subsoils tells you about the drainage class. Warm brown (rusty) colors indicate well drained conditions with lots of oxygen, while gray dull colors are caused by frequently saturated conditions. Although there were no teams from Harrison County, the Denison group placed third in the state and qualified to participate in the National contest in Oklahoma next spring. Changing gears, I was in a rural lawn near Mondamin this week that had a great display going on. Large patches of the
bluegrass were showing up with oodles of orange. As you walked on the turf, an orange cloud formed at your feet and shoes turn orange from the spores of bluegrass rust, a common fungal disease. The bad news is you need to wipe your shoes before you walk across the carpet. But the good news is that as we move farther into fall, the rust will subside and the bluegrass should recover from any stress it has incurred from the fungus. It is not usually a serious condition, but the bright orange grass can be pretty startling. For additional information, contact Rich Pope at the Harrison County Extension office at ropope@iastate.edu or 712644-2105.

NIK’S KNACKS
DEAR EDITOR, In these hard, economic times I wanted to share one way that I save money and stimulate our local economy. I’ve not been paid nor asked to write this letter. I’m familiar with the stereo type that small town local stores either don’t have it or want three times as much for it. I was wrong. This is just a possible heads up for those of you who may believe as I once did.
I checked my options. I never dreamed the vast majority of my household purchasing could be accomplished at the local level and without added expense. It’s true that sometimes items cost me as much as five or 10 percent more, but it’s equally true that I’ve saved that and more on other items. I also save on shipping and gas. In the end, I come out considerably ahead for having bought locally. Logan Hardware has a
Web site that contains what are, to me, surprising items. When I have a shopping list, I peruse the Web site or call Bill and Chris. Unfailingly, 90 percent of my list is available there. I order and it’s on Wednesday’s truck! I’m also impressed with their customer service. They always know where their stuff is and what it does or doesn’t do. When in doubt, I’ve seen them pick up the phone to verify the function or properties of some-
thing for me. Napa, Ace, Hometown Hardware are others I’ve come to count on. It’s like finding gold at the end of the rainbow for me personally. No more wading through traffic, into crowded stores with no or little product assistance and strangers taking my money annoyed by my existence in their day! All I had to do was look at the Web site, call or stop by and shop! YVONNE MEIJERING

Community HCHPH A 30-pound ghoulish gourd encourages the public to get flu shots Iowa has yet to see influenza activity this year, however it is being seen in some of our neighboring states; meaning it is only a matter of time. If you haven’t received your flu shot this year, now is a great time to protect yourself and others. Harrison County Home & Public Health urges you to get your flu shot before the holiday season to make sure you aren’t spreading or receiving more than just joy between your friends and family. It takes 10 to 14 days for a flu shot to be fully effective on your immune system, so getting one sooner rather than later will help protect yourself and your family during the holidays and before the onset of the peak flu season in Iowa. Influenza is spread from person-to-person by coughing or sneezing. Symptoms usually consist of fever, head and body aches, fatigue, cough and sore throat and can last from seven days to some symptoms lasting longer than two weeks. Harrison County Home & Public Health is offering flu vaccine through their office for $25 per dose; if you are enrolled in Medicare please bring your Medicare card with you. Children through age 18 who have no health insurance coverage, have insurance coverage that does not cover immunizations, are American Indian or Alaska Native or are enrolled in Medicaid are able to receive the flu vaccine with out charge through the Vaccine for Children Program. Please call our office at 712-644-2220 for community clinic dates and times or to schedule an appointment in our office.
Russell Kurth Russ will work for you. He has the time and energy needed to serve the Harrison County voters’ needs, manage its budget, and help make it a better place to live, work and raise a family.

Forrest Johnson donated a 30 pound gourd to the Golden Age Center. Visitors of the center decided to use the gourd for decoration, turning the vegetable into a Halloween delight. Pictured with the ghoulish creation are, front row, left to right, Rose Heistand and Dorothy Barry. Back row, center coordinator Connie Swift and Verva Thiles. Swift said the gourd will be used as decoration as long as possible - soon to be made into a turkey for Thanksgiving and a snowman after that. “We just have to figure out how to make it a turkey,” Thiles said.

Political Forum From FORUM Page 1 According to Smith, funding for roads and bridges is not just a problem in Harrison County. “It’s a problem in 99 counties,” he said. “We need to lobby legislators and the government to increase the gas tax. Harrison County took a big hit in 2007 in the floods in Missouri Valley. We did get a lot of FEMA money, but a lot came out of our own coffers. We took another hit with the snowfalls last year. About $400,000 that came out of our budget.” Utman said there was a need to prioritize. According to Kurth, with the state funds the county gets, there isn’t enough to fund the replacement of bridges. “It costs $500,000 to a million to replace a bridge,” Kurth said. “We need to educate voters to lobby the legislature.” As far as changes they would make in the treasurer’s office, candidates’ opinions varied slightly.
Edney stressed the importance of cross-training employees so the driver’s license department never needs to be closed. She also said she would utilize the software program already available, that is not being used. King said she would keep the driver’s license department open all day, every day. Royer said one of the changes she would make, if elected, is to hire and train a driver’s license employee and back up person. “Otherwise the office is running very well,” she said. As far as how they would handle the public scrutiny and negative comments, Smith said it was just part of the job. “We don’t like to be criticized in public, but I’ve learned to handle and deal with it. I’ve found that 99 percent of the public are sincere, caring, supportive and patient,” Smith said. Utman said the key was
to listen. “You have to be a little thick skinned to hold public office,” he said. According to Kurth, due to his previous employment with the Natural Resource Conservation Service, he is used to people coming up to talk to him. “It doesn’t bother me. You have to listen and ask questions,” he said. Coret said hopefully there would be positive and negative comments. “It doesn’t frighten me,” she said. When asked a question regarding funding for mental health, Kurth said it is dictated by the state. “We need to inform legislators on how the rules are affecting our people and work with ISAC to get the point across,” Kurth said. Smith said the county is very fortunate to have Lonnie Maguire as the CPC. “She does a remarkable job and knows how to back
the legislators into the corner,” Smith said. “Reimbursements are not enough. We need to work together and visit with the legislators. Lonnie works hard with the state association. It’s a complicated issue.” Utman also said it was important to talk to the legislators and the community. Coret disagreed and said there was no mental health department in the county and the budget provided for mental health services was sufficient. Candidates for treasurer agreed on two questions – the office was not over staffed and they would continue to invest county funds in the county if elected. Following the forum, which lasted approximately an hour and a half, candidates remained to answer questions from those attending. The General Election is slated for Nov. 2 with polls open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Nov. 2 marks General Election From ELECTION Page 1 lone Democrat but the winner representing the Republican Party, Renee King, was decided after the Republican Convention was reconvened after the primary, due to no candidate receiving the majority of the vote. Sandy Royer dropped out during the convention with King determined the winner. Royer later placed her name on the ballot, running as an Independent for the position. Harrison County Recorder, Lorie Thompson
(REP) and Harrison County Attorney, Jennifer Mumm (DEM) are running unopposed. Matt Windschitl, (REP) is running unopposed for State Representative in District 56. U.S. Rep. Steve King (REP) of District 5, is running against Matt Campbell (DEM) and Martin Monroe (NBP). Incumbent Senator Chuck Grassley (REP) is running against Roxanne Conlin (DEM) and John Heiderschelt (LIB). The race for Governor of Iowa has incumbent Chet
Culver (DEM) fighting former Governor Terry Branstad (REP) to keep his seat. Others running for Governor include, Jonathan Narcisse (IAP), Eric Cooper (LIB), David Rosenfeld (SWP) and Gregory James Hughes (NBP). The election also includes the judicial ballot for retaining judges. More information can be found on the Iowa State Bar Web site regarding the judges at iabar.net. Also on the ballot is a public measure to add an amendment to the
Constitution of Iowa to adopt Iowa’s Water and Land Legacy Amendment which would create a dedicated trust fund for the purposes of protecting and enhancing water quality and natural areas in the state. Seven persons are also in the running for five seats on the county agricultural extension council including, Gary Brock, Mary Dickinson, Jami Bertelsen Helgenberger, Helen Knauss, Jamie Straight Myer, Pamela Parsons and Jami Sherer.
National Chiropractic Month From NMC Page 1 are unaware that even modest weight loss, such as five to 10 percent of body weight, could improve blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. For a 200 pound individual, that’s only a loss of 10 to 20 pounds. “I have patients who know they need to shed pounds, but simply don’t know where to begin, and others who have tried fad diets and are struggling and frustrated they can’t keep the weight off,” Thomsen said. Aside from knowing, often overweight individuals often experience aches and pains. According to Thomsen, this is often the start of a downward spiral. “They start hurting, so they can’t exercise. They don’t feel well, so they eat poorly. They get tired from it, but can’t sleep,” Thomsen explained. “So that’s where chiropractors can help. We can start to make them feel better, then they sleep better, then they have more energy. Then they can start losing weight.” Chiropractors are also able to offer natural approaches to weight loss, such as exercise, nutrition and hands-on care to help patients lose the weight and teach them to keep them off. Thomsen is one of
those chiropractors. “We want to help people with their nutrition. We work with a company that provides us with questions that we can use to determine each individual’s high priority health concerns,” Thomsen said. Once Thomsen is able to check those scores and factors in risks, she works with the individual to determine the best course of action. “We decide together – do you need this vitamin? Or this supplement? Or do you need a cleanse? In general, cleanses make people feel better,” Thomsen said. “In fact, one of my biggest success stories, I had one client that had eight categories of high health concerns. After the cleanse it went down to only one in moderate category. Everything else was in the low.” But Thomsen warns, the cleanse isn’t a quick fix or simple solution. “You can’t eat any artificial foods and you drink a protein shake,” she said. “Artificial foods refer to anything you can’t pronounce. Basically, if you can’t outside, pick it, pull it or shoot it, you shouldn’t eat it. You have to be really focused to go through a cleanse, but everyone feels really good afterwards.” And even though there
are options for adults at Thomsen Chiropractic, children can also fall into the category of obese. Fortunately, this local chiropractor is prepared for that. Thomsen is certified in pediatric chiropractic care. Children and pregnant women are often referred to her from other, area chiropractors. “There are different designations in chiropractic care. I took a three year course and had to pass a test. When you’re certified, it means you’ve done a lot of work,” Thomsen said. “And in chiropractic care, if it’s someone we think we’re not helping enough, we try to find another chiropractic specialist in that area. I do often get referrals because of my pediatric specialty.” But Thomsen would never recommend a cleanse for a child, but chiropractic care and diet were. “If you want to do something to feel better, take out those artificial foods,” she said, simply. “As far as children are concerned, if we can fix things while they’re young, they won’t have to live with that ailment the rest of their life. I would recommend the Web site www.icpa4kids.com. You can find a lot of information there and locate a doc-
Jackie Thomsen tor, as well.” All in all, Thomsen believes National Chiropractic Month is important to all people, regardless of age. “It’s a great promotion of chiropractic care and it’s a time for us to be able to educate people and help them focus on the importance of what we do,” Thomsen said. Thomsen is a member of the International Chiropractic Association, the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and a member of the Iowa Chiropractic Society and serves as the southwest district’s representative to the board. She opened her Woodbine clinic in 1998 and later opened one in Dow City. She is one of six chiropractors practicing in Harrison County. Contact her office for more information at 647-3444.

Anderson sees 10 years at HCDC From HCDC Page 1 drastically changed economic development, Anderson said. “It has made it difficult in all aspects. The type of company looking at the area has changed from companies looking from around this area to the entire United States and i n t e r n a t i o n a l l y, ” Anderson said. According to Renea Anderson Anderson, the county is lucky all its “economic eggs are not in one basket.” According to Anderson, this diversification has helped Harrison County hold steady during the economic downturn and opened other aspects. Anderson said the Harrison County Welcome Center saw attendance increase this July and August with about 50 travelers a day stopping by. Also a plus in Harrison County, Anderson said, is the upturn in people interested in organics and locally grown food and going green. “Harrison County has an advantage because we have some of those industries right here such as the Aronia Berry Farm, homeopathic and herbals in Woodbine, organic beef at Reisz Farms and even a lavender farm now,” Anderson said. “The Farmer’s Market at the Welcome Center has been a wonderful success. It shows people are trying to get back to green and going healthy. They are more interested in these things and Harrison County has a lot to offer in niche markets.” Since she first stepped into the office, the Iowa Department of Economic Development encouraged counties to work regionally together. Harrison County worked with Mills and Pottawattamie Counties as West Central Iowa Marketing, which has now been reformed as the Greater Council Bluffs Regional Economic Development Partnership. “We were ahead of the curve and had been working together for years before the state encouraged the regionalization. They used us as a model,” Anderson said. “We are able to market the area on a larger scale.” Anderson said it’s great to have large companies come here, but at the same time, those are few and far between. “If you hang your hat on just large businesses, you will miss out. You need to be aware of smaller mom and pop companies,” she said. According to Anderson, Harrison County has a lot to offer prospective businesses, including an available labor force, strong work ethic and the quality of life. “More and more I’ve seen that as the new trend,” she said. “They always care about the schools, the availability of the work force but now they want to know what kind of trails there are, shopping availability, is there kayaking and canoeing available, etc. It has changed in the way they approach looking for a site.” According to Anderson, many people have no idea how large the tourism industry is in Harrison County. In 2008 it brought in $23 million. As far as what towns can do to fill empty storefronts, Anderson said be creative. “They need to look at the niche markets. We are such a mobile society and that isn’t changing. People travel back and forth to Omaha without thinking,” Anderson said. “Communities that are successful have niche markets.” Anderson said you need to be mindful of the past, but you can’t be stuck on it and not see what is in front of you now. “You have to look at what successful communities are doing,” she said. “You can’t try to be everything to everybody. You have to find that niche, what people want in their area that isn’t been offered at the present time.” Another positive change for Anderson in the past 10 years has been the addition of the GIS office in the county. “I deal a lot with that office. If we didn’t have one I don’t know what I would do. Companies ask for maps, topography of specific areas, flood plain locations, and I can get that from that office,” she said. “It’s a quick process and fairly instantaneous for prospects and site selectors.” Anderson said the favorite part of her job is getting to work with people every day. “I get to help impact the county and see how the changes positively affect the area and the people,” she said. “I grew up here and it makes it mean more to me to be able to see the positive actions and energy the communities have.” As far as the future, Anderson said she’d love to have a crystal ball and be able to see when the economy will have an upswing again and be all “peaches and cream.” “I still think our county is fortunate that we do not have just one type of industry and that is what will see us through any economic downturn or change,” Anderson said. “We’re going to be able to bounce back from this a lot quicker than other areas. We need to focus on our strengths and work to improve some areas that might not be as strong. I think Harrison County really has a bright future. You always have to be pushing the envelope and want to grow and improve and make this an even better place to live.” Anderson also keeps busy serving on many boards in her capacity as director of HCDC including president of the Western Iowa Transportation Corridor; secretary of the Greater Council Bluffs Regional Economic Development Partnership; district legislative leader for the Travel Federation of Iowa; served on the professional developers of Iowa’s Board of Directors; past vice-president of the Southwest Iowa Coalition; served on the Southwest Iowa Coalition Board of Directors and is a member of the Logan Kiwanis Club, among others.

Community WEA treats area businesses Upcoming area blood drives
The Woodbine Education Association hosted a Business Appreciation Luncheon for local business owners and their staff on Oct. 18 at the school. Several soups, salads and desserts were served as a way to thank area businesses for their continued support. Pictured here, on the left, are Boustead Real Estate Owner Marilyn Boustead, Boustead employee Ashlee Burbridge, Thomsen Chiropractic Owner Jackie Thomsen and Thomsen employee Andie Thomsen.

Every day, patients across the nation rely on blood donated through the American Red Cross. Nearly five million people need blood transfusions each year. Generous blood donors can help the Red Cross meet patient needs by giving blood. “Accident victims can require up to 100 pints of blood, but they aren’t the only people who rely on blood transfusions,” Logan Blood Coordinator Eleanor Gambs said. “The blood you donate through the Red Cross can also help cancer patients, organ transplant recipients, premature babies, and many others.” The blood supply is particularly vulnerable throughout the holiday season because donors are traveling, or visiting family and friends, and may forget to schedule a blood donation appointment. Since red blood cells have a shelf life of only 42 days, it is vital for eligible individuals to give blood regularly. A blood drive will be held at Woodbine High School from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Nov. 8. Contact the school to schedule an appointment or with questions at 647-2227. How to Donate Blood Simply call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE (448-3543) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Rose Vista Home and Longview Home are each officially a Continuing Care Retirement Community as of Oct. 1. CCRCs offer different levels of care and service to the senior adults within their systems. They also have legal requirements on the way they charge clients and are obligated to serve and care for the people within their communities as long as possible. Longview and Rose Vista offer independent living, assisted living, skilled care, long term care, Alzheimer’s care and hospice care.
“While this is basically a legal change, it is also a reflection of our commitment to offer options and choices to the residents of Harrison County. We feel the CCRC designation fits well with our mission and goals and will give people a better understanding of the different services we have available,” President of Rose Vista and Longview Noel Sherer said. Becoming a CCRC also has some legal advantages and efficiencies the owners hope will help them continue to provide quality care at a reasonable cost to
the residents of Harrison County. Rose Vista Home opened in 1960 in Woodbine and Longview Home opened in 1962 in Missouri Valley. Members of the Sherer family worked for the original owners of these nursing homes and eventually acquired both facilities. Over the years, they have expanded the care and services they offer. Longview Assisted Living opened in 1997 and Rose Vista Assisted Living opened in 2002. “We’ve been providing quality care for over 50 years, and we hope
the changes we are making today will allow us to keep serving the residents of Harrison County for another 50 years and beyond. By being progressive, we are able to offer a wide range of services that very few towns the size of Missouri Valley and Woodbine have available,” Sherer said. Rose Vista and Longview are currently owned and operated by Noel Sherer, Jason Sherer and David Sherer in Woodbine and Julie (Sherer) Newton, Christine (Sherer) Hedger and Kelly Sherer in Missouri Valley.

As the leaves on trees begin to change and evenings become shorter, farmers throughout Iowa are busy harvesting crops. While they are hard at work in the fields, farmers are also working hard to make a positive impact in their communities by participating in Monsanto Fund’s America’s Farmers
Grow Communities. This program offers farmers in more than 1,200 counties across 38 states, the unique opportunity to designate a $2,500 donation to their favorite local non-profit organization. The program benefits non-profit community groups. In Iowa, we expect to donate $247,500 in 99
counties. Whatever the need, $2,500 could mean saving a school program facing budget cuts or helping a volunteer fire department purchase new safety equipment. Farmers can apply online at www.growcommunities.com or by calling 877-267-3332. Farmers, age 21 and over, who are

Think Safety First this Halloween! Use face paints instead of masks that obscure vision. LED lights or glow sticks are a safer alternative to lit candles. Some lights even flicker to offer the appeal of candles. Trick-or-treat in a group and never alone. Take a planned route and don't wander off the path. Wear reflective tape on darker costumes or when trickor-treating at night. Instruct your children not to eat any treats until they bring them home to be examined by you. Use face paints instead of masks that obscure vision. Cell phones are a great way to stay in touch. Make sure you set a time that your kids should be home by. Kids will be kids. Explain to kids of all ages the difference between tricks and vandalism. Serve your kids a filling meal before trick or treating and they won't be as tempted to eat any candy before they bring it home for you to check.

they fell two points behind, to end the game and their season, 25-23. Team leaders included Samijo Klaahsen with five kills and eight blocks. Tiffany Vasquez managed a high of 11 digs, followed by Shelby Vandemark with 10. Kaitlyn Pulscher had eight of the team’s 12 assists. Justina Royer, Vasquez, Taylor Barry and Vandemark each took one ace during the game. Other players included: Courtney Schlinz, Brittney Nelson and Lydia Payne. The Lady Tigers concluded their season 14-19, 4-4 in conference play. Team leaders included Royer in kills with 161; Barry in blocks with 54 (31 solo, 23 assists); Vandemark in digs with 209; Pulscher in assists with 109; and Klaahsen in aces at 76 and serve successes in 286. The team will be losing lone senior Taylor Blum, who was out the entire season due to an injury. The team looks forward to returning their remaining players, including: junior setter Loren Dubas; freshman middle hitter Courtney Schlinz; junior setter Tiffany Vasquez; junior middle hitter Cydney Meeker; sophomore middle hitter Taylor Barry; sophomore outside hitter Alyssa Blum; freshman middle hitter Shelby Behrendt; junior outside hitter Justina Royer; junior outside hitter Brittney Nelson; sophomore outside hitter Kaitlyn Pulscher; freshman outside hitter Lydia Payne; junior outside hitter Samijo Klaahsen; freshman outside hitter Melissa Sherer; freshman Bailey Meyer; junior libero Shelby Vandemark.
The Lady Tigers volleyball team’s season ended short after an 0-3 match against county rival Boyer Valley during the regional competition Oct. 20. Woodbine and Boyer Valley have a history this past season – a see-saw effect. The Bulldogs took the Tigers out at the beginning of the season in an 0-2 for the Lady Tigers at 25-8 and 25-23. Midseason, the teams reconnected and the Lady Tigers took revenge winning 3-2. However, the Lady Tigers fell prey once again to the wagging tails of the Bulldogs during tournament play Sept. 25, winning the first 21-7, then falling 21-16 and 1510. The hope was that it was the Lady Tigers’ turn to win Oct. 20, but it wasn’t to be. The Lady Tigers fought a good game their first time on the court, falling to Boyer Valley with a mere five point deficit, 25-20. The Lady Tigers fell further behind during their second game at 25-17. A rally during third game of the match came too late. Despite the best efforts of the team,

hen it’s time to buy a new washing machine, choose a model that uses less water and energy. Most likely, that’s a front-loader. Buy one with the Energy Star label, which proves the machine is even more energy efficient than the federal government says it has to be. You can compare how efficient your favorite model is to similar machines by reading the yellow-and-black EnergyGuide that every refrigerator displays in the store. Invest in a washer with a high spin speed (1,000 to 1,200 rpm). Speedier spins remove more moisture from clothes so they have to spend less time in the dryer. That not only saves energy, it helps you match the dryer time to the washer time more closely.

It’s No Treat to Be Tricked by Scary Investment Moves and a downturn hits those assets, your portfolio will probably take a big hit. • Waiting too long to invest — As an investor, your biggest asset may be time. The more years in which you have to invest, the greater the likelihood that you can make progress toward your important financial goals. • Taking a “timeout” from investing — During periods of significant market volatility, such as we’ve seen the past few years, you might be tempted to take a “timeout” from investing and stick all your money into very conservative vehicles until everything “blows over.” But the financial markets will never be totally calm, nor will they be predictable. Market rallies can start unexpectedly; if you’re not invested when that happens, you may miss out on growth opportunities. • Ignoring tax-advantaged investment opportunities — When you invest in a taxdeferred investment account, such as your 401(k) and a traditional IRA, your money has the opportunity to grow faster than it would if it were placed in an investment on which you paid taxes every year. If you aren’t contributing to your 401(k) and you haven’t opened an IRA, you’re missing out on a great chance to build resources for retirement.
If you have young children, or even if you just have some in your neighborhood, you know they will soon acquire large amounts of free candy, obtained by impersonating witches, vampires and other scary creatures. As an adult, of course, you’re unlikely to encounter too many monsters after Halloween ends. Yet as you go through life, you will find some things that are truly alarming — such as scary investment moves. Here are a few of these frightful actions: • Investing too conservatively — You could try to avoid investment risk by putting all your money into very conservative investments. However, as you’re probably aware, those investments typically pay very little in the way of interest, so your money could actually lose purchasing power, even with a mild rate of inflation. • Investing too aggressively — Just as investing too conservatively can be counterproductive, so can investing too aggressively. Obviously, you would like your money to grow, but the investments with the highest growth potential are usually also those that carry the greatest risk to your principal. • Putting too much money in too few investments — If you put too many of your investment dollars into just one or two types of assets,

To make sure you don’t fall victim to these scary investment moves, you need only follow a few simple principles. First, take the long view — you will see ups and downs in the short term, but historically the market has performed well over the long term. (Keep in mind, though, that past performance is not guarantee of what will happen in the future.) Second, diversify your holdings among a variety of investments. Diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss, but it can help reduce the effects of volatility. Try to build a diversified portfolio based on your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals. And finally, consider boosting your 401(k) contributions whenever your salary increases and fully funding your IRA each year. Halloween comes but once a year, but scary investment moves can haunt you for a lifetime — so take the right steps to help avoid them.

PUBLIC NOTICE HARRISON COUNTY SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS August 9, 2010 The Board of Supervisors met in session with all members present. The current agenda was approved on a motion by Smith, second by King. Unanimous approval. Visitor: Walter Utman Secondary Roads Tom Stoner, Engineer, informed the board that an accident had occurred that involved a trailer dropping off a shoulder and pulling the tractor over into the ditch. Mr. Stoner stated they are in the process of filling positions from within and then will look outside for additional personnel. Seig Drainage District All members of the board met as Trustees for the Seig Drainage District as well as the Drainage Clerk, Elizabeth Lenz. The following people were also present: Warren Christy, Bruce Thomas, Kent Thomas, David Hansen, Mason Hansen, Walter Utman, Rick Shearer, Shearer Contractors, Jennifer Mumm, Drainage Attorney and Ashley West. Discussion was held regarding the pumping in the district. This year the water has been very high and the people below the pump feel that some of their crops could possibly have been saved if the second pump had not been run. These people are not in the District. The people in the District feel that both pumps were necessary to help save their crops. The first pump has been in place since 1942. The second pump used this year hasn’t been used for 4 or 5 years. The Board asked Drainage Attorney, Jennifer Mumm, whether they had the right to legally pump. Ms. Mumm stated that she has not seen a case regarding pumping but has seen a case in which after 10 years the flow of water is considered the “new flow.” She feels that at least the first pump would not be an issue because it has been in place and pumping for more than 10 years and the second pump would need to be challenged before 10 years. Supervisors Smith then asked if they should have the pump shut off if the Missouri River reached a certain height. Ms. Mumm recommended against setting a benchmark height for the Missouri River to stop pumping because the variance from year to year with rainfall and the height of the Missouri River. Several comments were made for and against the pumping. Also, several suggestions were made to help with the problem such as adding additional pumps and or adding tubes south of the District. Kent Thomas would like to see a benchmark height set for the second pump. Supervisor Smith offered to do some research into how other areas with pumping handle a situation such as this and suggested that others do the same. The drainage clerk will call Monona County and discuss an area known as Oliver Lake and report back to the Board. No action taken. Tabled until further notice. Crane Drainage District An agreement between the Crane Drainage District and B&W Control Specialists, Inc., was approved on a motion by Smith, second by King. Unanimous approval. The cost of the spraying is not to exceed $3,500.00 and documentation can be found in the Auditor’s Office. Beer Permit A beer permit for River Mart was approved on a motion by Smith, second by King. Unanimous
approval. Claims Claims, as presented, were approved for payment. With business of the day completed, the board adjourned on a motion by King, second by Smith, until August 19. ATTEST: Susan Bonham, Auditor Gaylord Pitt, Chairman August 19, 2010 The Board of Supervisors met in session with all members present. The current agenda was approved on a motion by Smith, second by King. Unanimous approval. Visitors: Walter Utman and Norma Coret. Engineer Tom Stoner, Harrison County Engineer, met with the board for general discussion. Scenic Byways Signage Kathy Dirks, Liz Berkel-Leddy, Western Skies Scenic Byway Coordinator, and Francie O’Leary, Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway Coordinator, and Renea Anderson were present for Scenic Byways Signage discussion. Being no discussion, motion by Smith to approve the DOT agreements for Iowa Byways Jurisdiction Signage Agreements, second by King. Unanimous approval. Minutes Motion by King to approve the June 24, July 8, July 15, July 22 and July 29 minutes, second by Smith. Unanimous approval. Claims Claims, as presented, were approved for payment. With business of the day completed, the Board adjourned on a motion by King, second by Smith. Unanimous approval. ATTEST: Kris Pauley, Deputy Auditor Gaylord Pitt, Chairman August 26, 2010 The Board of Supervisors met in session with all members present. The current agenda was approved on a motion by Smith, second by King. Unanimous approval. Visitors: Walter Utman and Russ Kurth. FY10 Annual Report The Engineer’s FY 10 annual report to IDOT was approved on a motion by Smith, second by King. Unanimous approval. Grain Bins on 260th Street County Engineer Tom Stoner and Steve Landon met with the board regarding Mr. Landon’s grain bins along 260th Street. The legs to the grain bins are within the county’s road right-of-way. Mr. Landon assumed the right of way was 33 feet from the centerline but it really is 50 feet. The board will allow the legs to remain but reminds Mr. Landon that liability will fall back on him if any motor vehicle accidents occur at this location. A letter will be sent to Mr. Landon. Former Pisgah Gas Station The site of the former Pisgah gas station belongs to the County and the board has been approached to sell the property. The board will look into starting the procedure for selling. Soldier Valley Drainage District On a motion by King, second by Smith, a permit with NuStar Pipeline was approved as presented. Unanimous approval. This permit allows NuStar Pipeline to operate and maintain four pipes in the Solider Valley Drainage District. This permit had revisions which were requested by NuStar which varied from the original permit sent to entities wanting to cross drainage ditches. The revisions were approved by the drainage attorney, Jennifer Mumm. The permit is still in negotiations with Ms. Mumm and NuStar Pipeline. Solider Valley Drainage District/East Soldier A recent request from Genee Godden to place a crossing in the East Soldier Ditch was discussed. The policy of the District’s governed by the board is that all costs associated with placing the tube initially are to be paid by the landowner. The tube has to be approved by our engineer, Sundquist Engineering and placed by our contractor, Shearer Contracors. When a copy of the letter Ms. Godden received was reviewed, Sundquist Engineering suggested that another engineering firm should recommend the culvert size. In the past, Sundquist was the only engineering firm involved. A call was then made by the Board to Troy Groth at Sundquist Engineering. Mr. Groth explained that by determining the size of the culvert for the landowner and then approving the culvert for the District that a conflict could arise. This is how it is handled in other aspects of Sundquist’s work, although has not been a practice in the past with the drainage districts. The Board stated that they did not have a problem with Sundquist working for both parties if the landowners agreed, with Mr. King stating that it only made sense to have them determine the size of any structures placed because they are familiar with the ditches as well as any past practices. The Board, acting as drainage district trustees, stated that the current tube policy remains in effect with no changes being made. With business of the day completed, the Board adjourned on a motion by King, second by Smith. Unanimous approval. ATTEST: Susan Bonham, Auditor Gaylord Pitt, Chairman August 31, 2010 The Board of Supervisors met in session with all members present. The current agenda was approved on a motion by Smith, second by King. Unanimous approval. Modale Special Election The election results for the Modale special election was held. The winner of the council member seat for the unexpired term ending December 31, 2011 was Martin Salter. Mr. Salter had 38 votes, Jennie Gallentine had 9 votes and there were 11 scattered write-in votes. Election certificate and abstract were signed. Maintenance
Kathy Peterson, maintenance, met with the board regarding staffing. Mrs. Peterson was surprised that the board had made Louie Valles a full-time employee. The board felt that Mrs. Peterson needed the extra help to get various projects accomplished especially if the County had another severe winter. Beebeetown School The Board asked Asst. County Attorney Judson Frisk and Zoning Administrator Matt Pitt to discuss the Beebeetown school situation. The Board had received some complaints about the property. Last March, the owner, Jeromy Holton, had assured the Board that he would secure the building, install a well and septic and seal the roof. The Board is very disappointed that Mr. Holton hadn’t completed any of the tasks yet. Mr. Holton’s variance runs out in March, 2011. Conservation Director Tim Sproul invited the Board to attend the fall ICCB conference held jointly between Harrison and Pottawattamie Counties. Conference will start on September 16 through September 18. With business of the day completed, the board adjourned on a motion by King, second by Smith. Unanimous approval.

The Woodbine Twiner
October 27, 2010
Sports Lenz qualifies for State The Woodbine Tigers cross country team saw joys and disappointments at the District meet Oct. 21 at the District competition at Panorama in Panora. Ethan Lenz served as a highlight at the meet – being the only one of the Woodbine black and gold to qualify for the State meet. “He finished eighth and the top 10 qualify,” head coach Rod Smith said. “It is very exciting for Ethan as he has worked hard for it, not only this season, but the last few seasons to get to this point.” Lenz’s time of 18:14 and eighth place finish is what earned him a spot at the State meet. First place finisher Conrad Sain, Treynor, finished Ethan Lenz finished eighth at the District cross the course about a country meet Oct. 21, earning him a spot at the State minute before Lenz, in meet Oct. 30. Photo: Bill Maaske 17:09. The Boys 1A run-
ners will be competing at 2:30 p.m. Oct. 30 on a course at the Lakeside Municipal Golf Course in Fort Dodge. A heartbreaking finish came from Levi Brown who finished one runner away from a trip to State, in 11th out of the 124 runners. Other runners included: Jameson Delaney, 52nd; Trevor Barnum, 66th; Davis Hackman, 85th; Logan Worth, 115th; Patrick Glackin, 122nd. The team finished eighth with 204. Panorama stole the meet with 98. Only the top three teams qualify for State. “The boys ran the best they have as a team. This was the first time this season they have beaten Lo-Ma. Trevor has really been improving all season and ran well,” Smith said.
More heartbreak was delivered by the Lady Tigers’ side. “A disappointment for the girls that they did not make, or that Shelby Hall did not make it, to State,” Smith said. “Shelby worked hard for it all season. It was one of those days for the girls that you hope doesn’t happen at this meet.” Smith had one runner ill, Shelby Dick, who was fighting a virus, constricting her lung capacity and finished further back in the pack than usual. Runner Ellen Cox was suffering from a sinus infection and also tallied a lower finish than normal. Emily Schwery was still suffering from knee issues, so also fell behind from what she is capable of if she was healthy, according to Smith. The girls finished in
seventh with 179 points – one point behind sixth place Audubon with 178. Griswold took top honors with 51. Runners for the Lady Tigers included: Hall, 16th; Paige Hackman, 32nd; Alyssa Blum, 42nd; Cox, 48th; Rebekka Boer, 56th; Dick, 71st; and Schwery, 74th out of 108 runners. “Paige and Alyssa really ran good races and Alyssa has really been coming on for us the last three weeks,” Smith said. “Rebekka ran a good race for her last one. It was disappointing that the tea didn’t qualify so Rebekka could have run at State for her last meet. All but Rebekka will be back next year, and hopefully we’ll have a healthy season. The girls have already expressed a desire to make it to State next year.”
Archer scores five touchdowns in final game Woodbine wraps up the season with a 66-21 win against Charter Oak-Ute JEFF POWERS For The Twiner The Tigers ended the season on a winning note Last Friday night in Charter Oak. Senior Zach Archer ended his high school career with a five touchdown performance. The Tigers scored on all nine of their first half possessions. For the five seniors and the host of players coming back, they will remember winning that last game. Woodbine ended the 2010 campaign with a record of 4-5. Coach Jason Strong had some thoughts on the 2010 season. “I thought that we finished the season with a great performance against Charter Oak Ute.
We had several players make some big plays and step up in key situations. I was proud of how the players bounced back after the tough loss to Boyer Valley. Although we obviously had hopes for a third consecutive playoff birth, the boys kept the right attitude throughout the second half of the season,” Strong said. “In a tough district, our youth was probably our biggest weakness and that showed against some of the top district teams. The experience that many of the younger players gained will be very important looking ahead to next season. Our seniors performed with heart, and, as a coach, I

appreciated their leadership and ability to keep the younger players focused on each game. We will miss their presence next season. I am proud of the players and how hard they worked this season.” The game got off to an ominous start as the Bobcats ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown. The Bobcats would add another score, aided by a defensive pass interference call, to cap their first half scoring. The Tiger defense stood strong in the first half, forcing four punts with one being blocked by Jacolby Ehlert, two fumble recoveries by Spencer Ball, an interception by Sam Powers and a failed fourth down conversion. The offense had its way with Bobcat defense scoring nine touchdowns. Zach Archer led the way with touchdown runs of 55 yards, five yards, nine yards, 16 yards and a 12 yard pass from Powers. Kyle Kuhlman added three touchdowns with runs of 43 and 32 yards and a 35 yard pass from Powers.
