One bus held several US colleges and the other bus Australian students. When on tour, there were four to six stops. The journey began as soon as lodging was assigned. Udd had been to Jerusalem several times and was acquainted with the historical landmarks and wanted to see Jerusalem light up at night. The students were treated to a walk through the Old City and the first stop was at the Holy Sepulcher. Then to the traditional site of the Last Supper, Pentecost and the first Church, now known and rebuilt as Zion Mother of All Churches. The day journey was well worth the up and down long walks, but Rilla couldn’t help be slightly disappointed. “It looked too new,” she replied. “Everything was reconstructed. I was expecting to see an upper room with wooden beams, not stone on walls, floor and ceiling.” The reason for the See HOLY LAND Page 9

Bustin’ Loose in Woodbine NIKKI DAVIS Editor Pat Waresk loves his dogs, and he loves his rural Woodbine acreage purchased in 2004, the home to his Bustin’ Loose Kennel, where he trains them. And Waresk is good at what he does. The German Shorthair Pointers he has trained hold national titles, including Amateur Champion in 2000, the National All-Age Champion in 2009 and, in the beginning of November 2010, the National Gun Dog Champion. “And Chip was the runner up in the National Shooting Dog Championship,” Waresk added. “Add that, and it really is pretty impressive.” He doesn’t just love the dogs – the dogs love him. As he walks into their kennel, they circle in place, jump on their houses and bark for his attention. As he walks by, it’s clear they’re not just dog after dog. “Hi, Little Bell. Hi, Gabe. Hi, Crazy Eddie …” he says as he walks down the line. He finishes up with Buddy A, Chip, Rock N Rolla, Victor, Indy, Gemma, Buddy B, Niki, Morde, Vito and Baby. He currently keeps about 15 of the shorthairs in which he has trained and serves as their handler during year long field trial competitions. Of course, some of them were on See WARESK Page 9

Editorial
“A newspaper is a circulating library with high blood pressure.” ~Arthur Baer
CHAMBER CONNECTION WOODBINE MAIN STREET-CHAMBER TONY SMITH
Membership drive underway
W
hat a wonderful new addition to Main Street Woodbine in the restored IOOF building. Crown View Development has truly set the bar high with the stunning makeover. I have toured it myself again since the sneak showing last week and although it is just part of our Main Street façade facelift, the complete rehabilitation of the IOOF building is, to date, the largest project completed. To think how much support it has taken from so many people is truly impressive; but the job is not over. This month businesses in Woodbine will receive a letter thanking them for what they’ve done so far, and asking them to continue their support by renewing their three year Main Street-Chamber memberships. The Main Street-Chamber board members will personally visit each business. But our Main Street is nothing without people; supporters, shoppers, visitors, volunteers and now partners. Partners are the new membership level for the Chamber. All those who volunteer to get the Christmas parade underway, attend Chamber events such as the chicken dinner co hosted by the Chamber and the Woodbine Education Association, or those former Twiners who live across the country or around the world; your support is essential to our success. Your Main Street board members will be soliciting you to become a partner. For as little as $25 to as much as you feel comfortable to give, it takes resources to complete our facelift, making Woodbine a destination, not just a spot on the map. We hope what you’ve seen so far has inspired you and makes you want more. Please consider joining and we will do our best to contact everyone we can. But we don’t want to miss anyone, so please call the Chamber office, especially those of you from the four corners of the earth. We’ve come a long way and, with your help, we will continue preserving our proud past while planning for the future.
YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP ON.................. One step won’t take you very far, you’ve got to keep walking, One word won’t tell them who you are, you’ve got to keep talking; An inch won’t make you very tall, you’ve got to keep on growing; One ad won’t do it all, you’ve got to keep them going. A constant drop of water wears away the hardest stone; By constant gnawing, Bowser masticates the toughest bone. The constant cooing lover carries off the blushing maid; And the constant advertiser is the one who gets the trade.

A very short note from Nikki
I
now successfully have three or four columns safely tucked away for a rainy day. It just so happens that room seems to have been an issue lately. Something about Letters to the Editor and a pig evidentially dubbed, Oreo. I’ve got much to discuss - everything from my BaHum-Bug Christmas spirit this year, to the shootings at Millard South, to interviews I’ve had recently and the people I’ve met and general things going on right now in Woodbine. It’s really hard for someone who talks a lot to know she’s limited to a small space - or worse, no space at all - for her column. So much to say and no room to say it. I will take a moment to mention I saw a few motorcycles out the other day. You know? The one
NIK’S KNACKS NIKKI DAVIS EDITOR nikki.davis@woodbinetwiner.com
day where it hit 60 degrees. Boy was I mad. I was at work ... I was daydreaming of my Harley’s pipes as I watched the bikes roll by my “big screen” in the office ... Shoot. I’m out of room. I hope everyone is having a great 2011!
New regulations on selling firewood
O
n Jan. 1, a new regulation came into effect in Iowa requiring anyone who sells firewood in Iowa have it labeled for county and state of origin. Now what may seem to be an onerous example of governmental intrusion is actually an effort to limit or stop the spread of several bad, and some very bad tree pests. emerald ash borer is one insect that can readily infect and kill ash trees. The adult is a green beetle that finds a mate and then deposits eggs in ash tree branches, preferring, but not limited to trees under stress. The larvae that hatch then bore under the bark, destroying vascular tissue and damaging the ability of the tree to transmit water and nutrients internally. In two to four years, the tree typically dies. Nearly all my extension friends in counties have had callers with some level of concern about the EAB with the certain thought a tree of theirs was infested and thereby doomed. Here is the fact: There is one SPOT in Iowa where EAB has been confirmed to date, and it is
from a tree on an island in the Mississippi River in Northeastern Allamakee County (that is the one in the extreme northeast corner of Iowa). That is one spot and, so far, nowhere else. In 2010, the Iowa DNR visually surveyed ash trees for signs and symptoms of emerald ash borer. They chose trees in high risk areas (sawmills and heavily used campgrounds). For the year, 235 campgrounds and 29 sawmills were surveyed in 55 counties. All told, 1,267 Iowa ash trees were inspected and all were negative for emerald ash borer. Funding for this project came from US Forest Service grants. (There was one site surveyed in Harrison County.) On their own, EAB adult beetles can only move a very few miles on their own each year. So at least for now, our ash problems are not likely the EAB. But, the beetles can easily be carried into new areas in harvested logs. So, a bundle of firewood that contains beetles can serve as an introduction source to new areas in the time it takes to drive across the state. Like the
EXTENSION OFFICE RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu
cartoon character Pogo said, “We have met the enemy and he is us!” And if you choose to simply avoid ash logs, can you really identify cut logs to tree species? Plus, there are other problems with other species (see below) that are also concerns. Although the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources staff will be checking firewood bundles at retail sales outlets for this labeling, the bigger issue is to remind both you and for you to remind your neighbors to be careful with and avoid transporting of logs from place to place. Furthermore, there are other pests of other tree species that are also on the horizon. A disease called thousand canker can potentially devastate black walnut. Currently, it has not been found in Iowa, but all it would take is for some walnut logs that carry the walnut stem
beetle that transmits the thousand canker disease into an area for us to imperil our walnut stands. Oh yes, the labeling details! If you want to buy (or purchase) firewood in Iowa, the rule mandates the seller provide a label that includes the identity of the wood, whether all one species or mixed (i.e., 50 percent ash, 50 percent oak), the net quantity in cubic feet or cubic meters (a cord is 128 cu. ft.), the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor, the unit price at point of sale, and the county and state where the wood was harvested. But remember the bigger message: do not carry firewood from place to place, and try to burn it as soon as possible. For additional information, contact Rich Pope at the Harrison County Extension office at ropope@iastate.edu or 712-644-2105.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Law enforcement actions OK DEAR EDITOR, Read with interest school board meeting Dec. 13, 2010. Next year’s budget would require a need to raise your property tax because of governor elect Branstad. It’s a sad day when a public school system would use politics to justify a property tax increase. The voters of Iowa spoke, they want cuts.
They want you to become part of the solution not always be the problem. If, assuming increased funding is actually needed for your Iowa schools, there is a solution. The elected could reconsider increasing the Iowa Income Tax to the point it covers all educational needs with some to spare. Tax the new real money, tax the new spendable wealth, tax what you can hold and bank. If you think you really need it, you will pay with a smile and offer more. Why not do your part? The property owners already have over
and over and over. Sincerely, REX B. HANER 1957 Graduate of Woodbine
A Piggy Poem Difficult things can happen again Don’t know why, where or when. A pig is left beside a busy road. Alone and afraid and carrying a heavy load. An officer is called and mayor is there, too. They are trying to figure out how to capture the pig and what to do. The officer said, “Mr. Mayor this problem is
really big. “I’ll stand guard, and you go for help, – you can take my rig.” As the mayor went along, he thought about farmers and how they knew how to wrestle a pig, Even when they were dirty and had gotten pretty big. He suddenly realized he wouldn’t have to go very far. He would probably find some help at the local bar. Sometimes life gets difficult and out of handJust remember we must work together and develop a better plan. ~LOREN MANN

BIRTH
Taylors’ Christmas miracles Robert and Christine Taylor, formerly of Woodbine now residing in Modale, were in for a surprise on Christmas. Unexpectedly, twins Lydia Esmaye Taylor and Timothy Bryan Taylor were born quite early at 29 weeks. Lydia was born at 2:42 p.m. and weighed in at 2 pounds and 14 ounces, measuring 16 inches long and Timothy was delivered at 5:07 p.m., weighing 3 pounds and 8 ounces, measuring 17 inches long. The twins were born at Methodist Women’s Center in Omaha, Neb. Robert and Christine were told having twins put them at risk of delivering approximately a month early – but they weren’t expecting them on Christmas. “We were planning on them being about a month early – them being born in early February … not December,” Christine said. “It was a very big surprise on Christmas morning getting all ready to go standing up from
putting my shoes on and my water breaking.” Despite their surprisingly early arrival date, the twins continue to do well. “They’re doing great,” Christine said. “Tim is having a harder time with his resperations and bowels, but now both are on room air only – so no support is needed. They are just trying to get their weight up at this point and watching for infections.” The goal is to bring the pair home in early to mid
Timothy Bryan Taylor
February. In the mean time, the Taylors are just enjoying their Christmas miracles. “I think it is very special that they were born on Christmas,” Christine said. “It is a very special day – and now it’s even more special to us.” Maternal grandparents are Doug Brady and Kelli Brady of Woodbine. Paternal grandparents are Bryan Taylor, Jr. and Brandie Taylor of Woodbine and Kenneth and Debra Bailey of Plattsmouth, Neb.

Natural history video showing at DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge’s Visitor Center continues to host weekend nature themed films. January and February features the PBS series The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. One episode will be shown each week for six weeks at 1 p.m. (only) on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 8 through Feb. 13. Nearly a decade in the making, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea, a six-part documentary series from acclaimed filmmakers Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan, is a
journey through the nation’s landscapes and a celebration of the people - famous and unknown who fought to save them for future generations. The national parks spring from an idea as uniquely American as the Declaration of Independence and just as radical: the most precious of the land should be preserved, not for royalty or the rich, but for everyone, for all time. Here are the stories of those magnificent places and the unforgettable people who kept them from
destruction - stories of struggle and conflict, stirring adventure and enduring inspiration, set against a backdrop of stunning beauty and grandeur. During the first episode weekend, Jan. 89, DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge roads and nature trails beyond the visitor center will be closed to non-hunters to facilitate the last whitetailed deer hunt of the season. Ice fishing will also be closed to the public that weekend. Upcoming National

Coping with weird weather
Temperatures on Dec. 30 were almost in the record books, nearing 60 degrees, according to the Bank of the West’s digital sign, as seen in the left picture above. In a very short time, on Dec. 31, the weather took a drastic change as temperatures plummeted and a sleet/rain/snow mix began to blanket the area, hence the picture on the right.

Getting engaged is just the beginning .... Are you one of the thousands of couples who got engaged over the holidays? This is the time for you and your soon-to-be to get everything you ever wanted. The time to start from scratch, to upgrade, expand and replace. Here are some additional tips to make wedding
planning a breeze: • Plan ahead: Start a bridal registry as soon as you say “yes.” This way you will be prepared for your engagement party and bridal shower, as well as your wedding. Periodically update your registry by adding more products if you need to, even after the
wedding. Be kind to procrastinators. • Don’t be shy: Register for gifts in a range of prices and categories. This will give guests and group givers lots of options to choose from. • Look back and plan ahead: Discuss your background and personal preferences beforehand. It’s also important to consider your future. Consider things like how often you’ll enter-
tain and how much you will be cooking. • Visit a store: It’s in your best interest to visit a store and schedule an appointment with an expert consultant. Touch the towels, heft the flatware, see everything in person! • Do the math: Experts advise registering for two to three items times the number of guests you plan to have. Close friends and family will rely on your
registry for special events leading up to the wedding — such as engagement parties, bridal showers and holidays! Your guests will appreciate having lots of choices when they shop for you. Be sure to refresh your list regularly as gifts get purchased. • Register now, because you won’t buy it later: You may think you will ... but you won’t. Now is the time to let others get you the

Community Quitline Iowa New Year’s Emergency plane landing on Highway 44 campaign targets 83 percent of smokers THOMAS ALLEN For The Twiner
If a statewide study of tobacco use is any indication, the vast majority of Iowa smokers in Harrison County want to quit. Thanks to a new campaign from the Iowa Department of Public Health, 2011 might just be the year tobacco users in Harrison County beat their addiction to tobacco. The new “Operation 83” campaign highlights the fact that 83 percent of Iowa smokers statewide say they want to quit. Using data from the Iowa Adult Tobacco Survey, the campaign coincides with the seasonal spike in calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW when many Iowa smokers make New Year’s resolutions to choose health over tobacco. When Iowans call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-7848669), counselors help them understand the underlying reasons for smoking and how to break the cycle of addiction that makes it so difficult to quit. Together, these insights can more than double one’s chances of successfully quitting tobacco use. During the campaign, IDPH is leveraging community partnerships in nearly every county in Iowa, including Harrison. Since November, partners have been visiting local doctors’ offices and clinics with information designed to help providers introduce the free Quitline Iowa services to their patients who use tobacco. Harrison County Home and Public Health’s Community Partner in Tobacco Control Julie Florian encourages people to continue to try to stop using tobacco products. With each attempt to quit you learn new skills that will assist you the next time to be successful. Quitline Iowa is available for free to all Iowa adults who want to quit tobacco use. For more information, call 1-800-784-8669 (1-800-QUIT-NOW) or visit www.quitlineiowa.org.

This past weekend was the final two days of Iowa’s second shotgun deer season and there was a very close call involving a state DNR Conservation Officer and State Trooper Pilot who were forced to make an emergency airplane landing on Highway 44. The Iowa DNR often enlists the use of airplanes to conduct aerial wildlife surveys and aerial law enforcement patrolling. It is standard practice to incorporate this tactic during times of busy outdoor participation, such as Iowa’s second shotgun season. There is an experienced pilot flying the plane and a conservation officer riding shotgun who is to visually inspect the ground looking for groups of hunters. By keeping in contact via radio with a ground force of Conservation Officers, they then confront those suspected of violating game laws. There are hunters out there who feel above the law and take the lazy route to shooting deer; in short these hunters are raping the resource out of selfishness. The Conservation Officers of the Iowa DNR are enlisted to uphold the laws to protect our natural resources to insure a future for Iowa’s outdoors. By surveying the ground from nearly 5,000 feet above sea level they can get the perspective they need to catch these people as they are breaking the law.
While the CO’s are not out for recognition they often lead a thankless job as they continually put themselves in the line of fire. It is a daily routine confronting people who legally have a firearm in their possession and are often knowingly breaking the law. It is a dangerous job, plain and simple. “What started out as a standard aerial law enforcement run quickly deteriorated,” said State Trooper and Pilot, Scott Pigsley. “We were a couple of hours into our afternoon session when the Cessna 182’s engine began making concerning noises. We were almost directly in between the Guthrie and Audubon airports and I knew we wouldn’t make it to either.” Pigsley, also a flight instructor, is trained to tackle engine failures and knew immediately what steps he had to follow in order to safely put the plane down. “I radioed to the ground officers that we were going down and provided an estimated location. The single prop had completely stopped and I was conducting what is known as a dead-stick landing maneuver. Without any power, I was simply using the flaps and other aero-dynamics of the airplane to direct it to the nearest safe zone of Highway 44.” “I was forced to fly just over one set of power lines, and under the next immediately prior to setting the plane down on the black
top,” he continued. “The ground force of Conservation officers began initiating traffic control and we safely landed the plane just at the Guthrie/Audubon County line.” “As a part of our training we have to conduct these types of landings and fortunately, the weather conditions we were faced with allowed us to safely put the plane down with no issues,” Pigsley explained. “I was confident in prevailing under these circumstances, but I know my Co-Pilot for the day, Officer Brain Smith was very thankful we managed to get on the ground safely.” Smith’s responsibilities while airborne are to look for groups of hunters who are chasing deer with trucks, radios, or other illegal means. Once located, he passed their location and suspected activity onto the ground force in hopes of catching them in the act. Smith has participated in these aerial surveys numerous times and never has a situation occurred where his immediate safety was in concern. “On a regular basis you hear of the dangers associated with law enforcement, but you also hear about how you are far more likely to be involved in a traffic incident than you are in a plane crash,” Smith said, the P o t t a w a t t a m i e Conservation Officer for the Iowa DNR. “I had the utmost faith in Pigsley’s

ability to operate the aircraft, but when you hear the words ‘we’re going down’ you begin to think about what’s important in life.” “I am a conservation officer because I have a passion for Iowa’s great outdoors,” he said. “It is my objective to serve and protect that resource through the means and authority I have been given from the state of Iowa. My lifestyle is based on the outdoors, and it is important to me that our next generation has the same opportunities we have enjoyed.” After receiving confirmation from the Federal Aviation Administration the aircraft was relocated to a safe location on an adjacent gravel road. With a full police escort, the plane was transported back to the Atlantic airport where it was to be repaired and stored. “I cheated death this time around and I am beyond thankful that Officer Pigsley was able to retain his state of mind and quickly, yet efficiently react to an emergency situation,” Smith said. When asked if he will return to the friendly skies for future air patrol, without hesitation Smith said ‘yes.’ “My experience should not overshadow the dangers that law enforcement officers of all agencies and disciplines face each and every day. I was lucky. As officers we should all be thankful each and every day when we return home to our families,” Smith said in closing.

The Holy Land comes to Harrison County From HOLY LAND Page 1 newness had an explanation. The ruins themselves have been destroyed and rebuilt or built upon several times. Rilla explained the Dome of the Rock which is now owned by Muslims is the real site of Solomon’s temple, the actual ruins resting 20 feet below the Dome. Following the first day, they were treated to other sights such as the steps of the Temple Mount where Jesus would have taught. The Mount of Olives was on one side and the City of David below them. They saw the Pools of Siloam, Herodian, Jericho, The Bedouin (Nomads) sites, Sorek Valley, Be’er Sheva (Abraham’s home in Biblical Negev), The Wilderness of Zin, the Dead Sea, Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee and much more. One touching sight for Lloyd and Rilla was the site of the Wailing Wall
or the Western Wall. “It’s part of the original wall,” Rilla said. “It was rebuilt by Herod,” Lloyd pointed out. But the significance of the wall spoke to both of them. In Genesis 13, God makes a Covenant to Abraham this was the territory of the Jews and now there is a Muslim dome on top of Solomon’s Temple. Rilla admitted to shedding tears while experiencing the dilemma of the Jews. “As I think back, there was a touch of strangeness happening at the Religious Wall. There were guards on the wall going up to the temple mount or Dome of the Rock,” Lloyd said. Then, in Jordan, it was Petra that had the Soetmelk’s complete attention. Carvings and caves with swirls of red and blue sandstone were everywhere. The path they followed down through the rocks or
canyon was sometimes only 12 to 14 feet wide. Temples and gods carved into the sandstone were an architectural delight. But a hint of sadness followed the Petra Stop with a single thought. “Jordan is not doing anything to preserve the sandstone carvings,” Lloyd said. “So they are slowly wearing away.” And on another portion of their trip, Rilla couldn’t hide her disappointment. It was Bethlehem, the birth place of Jesus. The ever so displayed sight of the nativity scenes often portrayed in America around Christmas time. “It doesn’t look like it at all,” Rilla said. “You would have pictured the manger and stable.” Instead it is located in a Greek Orthodox Church in a Muslim community. Upon the sight believed to be where Jesus was born is an ornate hole in the
floor of the basement which is on bedrock where the manger stood. “Bethlehem was too commercialized,” Lloyd said. “It did not depict the Christmas story we have learned.” After nearly a year has passed, Lloyd and Rilla are ready to share their journey – the high points and disappointments – with the public. The couple will be giving a presentation and sharing a small portion of their photos from their Holy Land tour from 2-4 p.m. Jan. 16 at the Logan Community Center and is inviting anyone interested in attending. The presentation may be just one way for the couple to continue to learn from their journey before they return again. “We’re going back in a couple years, Lord willing…. When we can afford it,” Lloyd said. “An absolutely amazing experience,” Rilla said.
From SWIHMB Page 1 Dick Stempl who told me that it was the best sounding band we had ever brought to Phoenix and that we keep getting better and better every time,” Simons said. During their stay, the band earned compliments on its performance and excellent behavior of the students from hotel staff to flight attendants. “This group of kids is awesome,” one flight attendant told Simons on the return flight from Phoenix. “They are so polite.” Simons said southwest Iowa should be proud of these kids for the hard work they each put into representing their school districts, band programs and the state of Iowa. Area students included: Catherine Beall, Cade Bolte and Robert Rydberg from Logan-Magnolia; Emma Allen, Jessica Allen and Heather Park from Woodbine; and Cortney Cooper, Trey Kirlin, Katelyn Hoff and Chance Sipple from West Harrison. The first stop on their tour was the Kiwanis Wave Pool/recreation center. That evening, due to rain closing the Castles and Coasters amusement park, the group ventured to an area mall for souvenirs. Thursday, band members were up early for their first practice together since November for the Fiesta Bowl parade. Lunch was at the famed Organ Stop Pizza. The facility boasts the world’s largest Wurlitzer pipe organ. Through the years several rare sets of pipes have been added to the organ including a massive set of 32-foot wood diaphones. As of 2006, the organ boasts nearly 6,000 pipes. That afternoon the group ventured to Box Canyon out in the desert for a hayride, cookout, rock climbing and horseback riding. The evening was spent watching the Fiesta Bowl National Championship of Bands contest at the University of Phoenix. The day they had all been waiting and practicing for was Dec. 31. The unusual cold spell continued, but by the end of the two-mile route band members didn’t feel the cold anymore. Right behind the band was the grand marshal of the parade, Iowa native Kurt Warner and his family. Several band members were able to get pictures taken with him and autographs. Following the parade and some down time at the hotel, band members visited the Castles and Coasters amusement park. The steak dinner that evening was at the Rawhide Western Town with all bands that performed in the parade invited. The large tent can seat thousands at once. Band members spent a cold New Year’s Eve there checking out the western town in the desert. The Southwest Iowa Honor Marching Band has had the privilege of being in charge of opening the field-sized American flag during pre-game festivities at the Fiesta Bowl on each of the trips there. The morning of Jan. 1 was spent practicing the drill at a junior college field. “My favorite thing we did on the trip was unfold the flag on the field during pre-game,” said Cade Bolte of Lo-Ma. “Opening the flag in front of all those people was one of the best feelings of my life. I mean the honor of being able to open one of our nations biggest flags at a bowl game was tremendous.” Chance Sipple of West Harrison echoed Cade’s feelings about opening the American flag. “It was such a rush, it was amazing,” he said. Following pre-game, the band had dinner at Rustler’s Roost and then it was back to the airport and the flights back home. Chance, who was making his second trip as a band member urged others to audition. “It’s an exciting and fun experience. You can make a lot of friends and memories.” Simons said all the compliments make him proud as the head director. “But it says more about the volunteer band director staff from the schools right here in Southwest Iowa and the great teaching they did with these particular kids in just four days. I am very honored to have had the opportunity to be a part of something this great and respected,” Simons said.
Bustin’ Loose Kennels calls Woodbine home since 2004 From WARESK Page 1 “vacations home.” After all, he doesn’t own them all. They come to him from all over the nation. Because, of course, he’s won over 30 major championships, all be told. He’s even held the hypothetical leash of the Sharptail champion dog for the past three titles. “I have dogs that come from all over. Texas, Arkansas, California, New Mexico, Wyoming,” he said. “The dog that won the championship last year is from California. It’s a catch 22. Once you start winning, you start getting more dogs.” But he’ll only take as many as he can care for. And that includes fitting into the deluxe horse trailer he has modified for them. And by being honest. “If I take more than I can care for, I can’t do them justice. I’m limited to the holes in the truck,” he said. “And if people send me a dog and two months later if he ain’t making it, I’ll send it home. Call a spade a spade. I’m not going to waste their money and my time in the long run if I don’t think the dog can win a championship.” He even says, after years of owning Bustin’ Loose, he can tell if a dog has “it.” He can tell by how they act when they’re training. He said you can see it. You can see it while the dogs are working the homing pigeons he also raises and trains. You can see it while he’s on one of the three horses he keeps in Woodbine trained for the competitions. He trains the other animals for a reason. The championships are much
more detailed than how the dog looks. In each competition, two dogs vie against each other. On the field, there are two dogs, two handlers (that would be Waresk), two judges and two scouts. “They go for an hour on the prairie. You let the dogs go and they hunt for an hour while I direct them around the course, using my horse to direct them. The competitor is on the other side of the field. The scouts are out there in case one of the dogs is lost. It’s his job to find them. After all, these are high bred hunting dogs,” he said. And he does breed some of those dogs, though it’s not his forte. He has too much to do between the training, the handling and the traveling. “I’m so busy and when you breed them, you have to be around all the time,” he said. “I don’t like having a litter of pups because I don’t have the time. When you do have a litter, you have to time it just right.” The timing is difficult as he is on the road often with the four-legged, extended family members who are always in various stages of training. In fact, currently, only eight of the furry friends are ready for competition. Some of them are in various stages of retirement. But not to worry. Gabe, now retired, lives out his days on Waresk’s couch. Stretched out and soaking up the attention. Gabe’s 12, past his prime. Heartbreak has come through the retirement process, though, as Waresk has watched potential champi-
ons pull tendons or become injured. One of these dogs was only 2. In this case, he finds retirement homes for the animals. Because they can’t train with the rest of them. Part of that training consists of hooking eight of the dogs up to a harness fitted for a four wheeler and running. Running and running. Even in the heat of the summer, the dogs can pull the makeshift sled up to eight miles an hour. “You treat them right and they want to please you,” Waresk said. “They will run as long as you want them to.” He’s learned this over the years. Probably with his first dog in 1994, a decade before purchasing his Woodbine acreage. Military life prevented him from having more than two dogs at a time. But retirement in 2004 ended that problem. And the acreage in Woodbine is where it all started. Well, that, and his desire to hunt more than just during hunting season. “I just wanted to expand my hunting season,” he said. “This way, through the competitions, I can technically hunt year ‘round. By the time I got my second dog, I got lucky. She was really good and
won that first national championship at the age of 4.” And that’s how Waresk decided how would spend his retirement from the U.S. Marines. And he loves it. “This is my family,” he said. “I’m having fun. Only six of the dogs are actually mine. My sister gives me a hard time. She say the dogs are taken care of better than her kids. My favorite part is when you watch a dog figure it out. On one occasion, I had two dogs put it together at the same time. Six times in about an hour and they figured it out.” Despite the joy he generally receives from the job, heartbreak still follows. “The worst is when you have to put a dog down,” he said. “Bell lived in the house and she didn’t make. She died in the house. And Satchmo had cancer. And I know Gabe’s next. He’s up there in years. It’s the worst. But I saw these monument rocks in Kansas and I’m thinking I might make a rock garden around my apple tree in their memory.” So whether they’re his own or not, there is no doubt what he means to them and they mean to

him. And there’s no doubt of what he’s capable of accomplishing as their leader. But he may not be done.
“There might be something in the future,” he said, grinning. “I got ideas. That’s for the next chapter of my life.”

CARD OF THANKS Thank you does not seem adequate to express our appreciation for the love and support that we have all received at the time of and since the death of our grandson, nephew and cousin, Colton. No matter what your act of kindness was: words of support, cards, phone calls, babysitting, visits, food plants/flowers, memorials, Curtis for the service, organizing and helping at the lunch, Pryors for the use of the Magnolia Community Center, Logan Memorial Chapel, Logan and Magnolia Rescue Units, it has truly helped us through this difficult time. These acts of kindness and the number of people who attended Colton's visitation and funeral are a great testament to the terrific young man that Colton was. He obviously had touched a lot of lives in his 22 short years. His smile and the sparkle in his eyes will live on in our hearts forever.

Boys win thriller in Whiting; Still lose two JEFF POWERS For The Twiner The Tiger men had a full week after the holiday break, playing three games in five days. The Tigers managed to win an overtime thriller on the road against Whiting, sandwiched by two losses at home against Logan and Walnut. A lack of consistent scoring and costly turnovers would provide a theme for all three games. On the defensive side the Tigers played well enough to win all three games. The Tigers record now stands at 3-6, with the team now facing an uphill battle to get to a 500 record. Logan-Magnolia, 53: Woodbine, 43 The Class 2A Panthers brought their high scoring offense to Woodbine on Tuesday night in a conference game. Coach Stille gave 5-10 Sam Powers his first start with the assignment of guarding Logan’s 6-4 leading scorer Levi Ettleman, holding him to four to six points under his season average. The first quarter was a defensive battle on both sides. The first point came at the 4:46 mark, with the quarter ending in an 8-6 lead for Logan. Jameson Delaney scored seven points as the Tiger’s offense erupted for 17 points in the second quarter to tie the game 23-23 at half. In the third quarter with 3:45 left, the Tigers would take the lead 3029. With some poor shot selection and some turnovers, Logan would go on a 12-2 run to end the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Tigers battled Logan toe to toe, but would get no closer than seven points of the lead. The Tigers played 28 tough minutes even with Logan, which isn’t indicative of the 53-43 final score. “I thought that the
boys played well against Logan. I know the game did not turn out the way we wanted it to, but I was pleased with the teams effort for our first game back after the break. We came out with a lot of intensity and really matched Logan for the first half and they just found a way to close out the game in the final two quarters.” Coach Heath Stille said after the game. Statistically Ethan Lenz led the scoring with 13 points followed by Delaney and Davis Hackman with 11, Powers and Alex Klein with 3 and Jacolby Ehlert with 2 points. Leading the way rebounding was Ethan Lenz with 7 followed by Delaney, Hackman and Powers with 5 each. The Tigers were 17-58 shooting with 9 turnovers. Woodbine, 57: Whiting, 52 OT The Tigers went on the road to play conference foe Whiting, a team most thought would be an easy win. The first two quarters wouldn’t let the Tiger faithful down. Led by Ethan Lenz’s 8 points in the first quarter and Jameson Delaney’s 9 points in the second quarter, the Tigers would double Whiting’s score to lead at halftime 34-17. The Tigers made an amazing 8 three point shots in the first half. A different team came out of the lockers in the second half. Though the Tigers continued to play good defense the scoring that occurred in the first half disappeared. It took seven minutes before the Tigers scored their first point. Whiting would outscore the Tigers 13-5 to get back in the game. With several Tiger turnovers and some hot Whiting shooting, the Warriors tied the game at 47-47 with 1:13 left. That would be the score at the end of regulation.
With momentum clearly on the Whiting side Sam Powers hit a rare three pointer to give Woodbine the lead, which they held the entire overtime period. The final 57-52. “I was really pleased with how well our guys came out and played in the first half,” Head Coach Heath Stille said. “I think that the first half was one of our best that we have had this season. In the second half Whiting went on a run to force overtime, but I was happy with how our guys responded in overtime by not getting flustered and stepped up and converted in some key situations. With three guys in double figures and another with eight, really shows how we shared the ball and were looking to make the extra pass.” Lenz led the way scoring 18 points followed by Delaney with 17, Davis Hackman with 10, Powers with 8 and Alex Klein with 4 points. Leading the way rebounding was Lenz with 10 followed by Jacolby Ehlert and Powers with 8 each. The Tigers were 19-55 shooting with 14 turnovers. Walnut, 43: Woodbine, 32 On Saturday afternoon Classs 1A Walnut visited Woodbine in a non-conference game. Though the Tigers played solid defense, the offense would experience difficulties in scoring and turnovers that plagued them in the second half of the Whiting game. At press time, due to a late Saturday afternoon game, all statistics are unofficial. The Tigers didn’t get off to the start they hoped for in the first quarter. Both teams struggled to score, with Walnut scoring first with 3:40 left in the quarter and Woodbine not getting on the board until
Girls win first game of the season JEFF POWERS For The Twiner Logan-Magnolia, 70: Woodbine, 30 The game started out looking good for the Lady Tigers as they led the Western Iowa seventh ranked Panthers 6-4 with 5:59 left in the first quarter.

Lydia Payne and Boer led the way with 4 rebounds each. The Ladies were 11-45 shooting and committed 24 turnovers. Whiting, 59: Woodbine, 20 This game would mirror the boys’ game slightly, with Lady Tigers playing a strong first half and coming out of the locker a different team in the second half. The first quarter was filled with rough play, several jump balls and turnovers. Woodbine would take a 10-8 lead, led by 4 points from Shelby Vandemark. Whiting would also get into serious foul trouble committing 10 in the first quarter. The second quarter would be a quarter of runs. Woodbine scored the first 2 points, followed by a 9 point run by Whiting, ending with a late 5 point by Woodbine to end the half. All the Tiger points in the second quarter were scored by Justina Royer. The Tigers didn’t take advantage of Whiting’s foul trouble scoring no free throws in the second quarter, but managed to end the half in 17-17 tie. The second half went downhill in a hurry for the Lady Tigers. The Tigers only managed 2 points for the entire third quarter while Whiting scored 23. Whiting scored most their points off turnovers created by their half court press. The Tigers didn’t spend much time on their side of the court. The Tigers also got into their own foul trouble sending Whiting to the foul line numerous times. The fourth quarter didn’t get any better as the Tigers only managed 1 point. After being tied 17-17 at half, Whiting outscored Woodbine 42-3 in second half making the final 59-20. There are no official stats available at this time. Unofficially Royer led all scorers with 9 points followed by Vandemark with 4, Kaitlyn Pulscher, Alyssa Blum and Rebekka Boer with 2 and Melissa Sherer with 1 point. Woodbine, 40: Walnut, 27 The Lady Tigers will go into their next game against Ar-We-Va with a one game winning streak after beating Walnut in a non-conference game Saturday afternoon. By getting the monkey off their back with their first win, they can now play in a more relaxed atmosphere the rest of the season. The first quarter set the tone for the game. The Lady Tigers played solid defense as the Warriors had trouble handling the Tigers half court press. With a 70 run to end the first quarter, the Tigers were up 11-4. The second quarter was a little more sluggish on both sides as Woodbine outscored Walnut 8-7. Woodbine did hold their lead going into halftime with the score 19-11. In the third quarter the Lady Tigers would go scoreless for first 5 minutes. Walnut took advantage and went on a 5-0 run before the Tigers would rally for 5 points. Walnut would outscore the Tigers 8-5 in the third, but Woodbine keep the lead at 24-19. The Tigers would end the game strong and outscore the Warriors 16-8 in the fourth quarter and get their first win with a 40-27 win. No official statistics are available at this time. The Lady Tigers will have the same schedule as the boys next week.
Davis Hackman made two free throws with 2:52 left. Walnut would then go on a 5-0 run and lead Woodbine 9-5 to end the first quarter. In the second quarter the Tigers would again go scoreless the first 4 minutes. The Warriors then went on a 8-0 run. With two three pointers by Sam Powers and one by Hackman, the Tigers would claw their way back to 4 point deficit to end the half 21-17. About the only offense in the second half was 13 points scored by Jameson Delaney. Only 3 points were scored in the fourth quarter alone. Down seven at the end of the third quarter, there was still the belief our offense would come alive in the fourth quarter. Poor shot selection and some desperate 3 point shots didn’t favor a comeback, as Walnut wins 43-32. “We started off kind of slow as it is always hard to play at a different time of day and out of the guys normal routine. I did not think our shots were falling as we were a bit tired from a hard game the night before. We are now going to start preparing for Ar-We-Va on Tuesday night and then for Boyer Valley on Friday night with both games at home. Friday night is Parents’ Night so come out and support the seniors and the Woodbine Tiger basketball teams,” Head Coach Heath Stille said. Seniors to be honored are Ethan Lenz, Alex Klein and Jacolby Ehlert on the boys team and Rebekka Boer on the girls team. In the Walnut game Delaney led the scoring with 14 points followed by Powers with 7, Hackman with 5, and Ehlert, Klein and Jay Radloff all chipping in 2 Ethan Lenz vies for the ball during a game last points. week.
