School board reveals enrollment increase The official, Oct. 1 certified enrollment count was up three students from last year to 434 students.

LOIS ANDERSEN For the Twiner The official, Oct. 1 certified enrollment count was up three students from last year to 434 students for the 2010-11 school year.

Superintendent Tom Vint broke down the numbers for the school board members at the Oct. 12 meeting. Those open enrolling into the school increased by four

students and the open enrollment out of the district decreased by one. Vint also pointed out the strong class numbers among the younger children at this time, and hoped those numbers would continue to grow.

Vint collected information for the board on school-owned vehicles,

and suggested with the passing of the PPEL levy, the board should look into replacing one of the school’s older, 1996 buses, possibly by next summer. Vint also told the board with the passing of HF 823, dealing with using “green” clean-

ing products in schools and colleges, the school would eventually phase out the older cleaning products, opting for the more environmentally

A broken heart

Angela Bush is one in 10,000, born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Sydrome. She has already undergone several heart surgeries, her first at two days old. Angela is to return home Oct. 30.

Photo: Submitted At two days old, she had her first surgery to begin the process of converting her heart to a one-pump heart.

The surgery took eight hours.

At six months, she had another eight-hour surgery.

Then again at 18 months.

convert her heart back to a two pump heart.

The 2009 surgery required a follow-up in July. The first surgery was 13 hours, the second, 10 hours.

“The last two surgeries basically took down everything the previous ones did,” Angela’s mother, Misty Bush, said. “But a heart

transplant was out of the question.”

She would have to wait until age 20 to receive a transplant. It was a long wait and one Misty didn’t know if Angela could wait for. Not to mention there was a 98 percent death rate associated with the transplant surgery, according to Misty.

“We weren’t going to risk that. She might not have even made it to 20,” she said, lips turned down slightly.

Sometime during or after the July surgery, Angela suffered a stroke. Misty and Jason, Angela’s father, noticed her twitching and having muscle spasms – a seizure. Three days later, doctors confirmed the stroke.

Vint also ran through the financials with the board, pointing out that revenues were down about 7 percent from this time last year, but the school has also successfully held the See BOARD Page 6

Knit-Wits coming to Woodbine NIKKI DAVIS Editor Their reason for starting Knit-Wits, a fourth through sixth grade knitting club, was simple.

“Rita and the older ladies in the knitting club said we should,” KnitWits co-coordinator Angela Doyel said.

“So we started actually planning it last year,” fellow co-coordinator Ali Glackin said. “We just finally decided to do it this year.”

The pair of fifth graders had a little help when it came to nourishing their knowledge of knitting. Both discovered the joys of the needle and yarn art through their TeamMates mentors, a mentoring program offered through the Woodbine Community Schools.

And it was just a year ago the pair began to learn.

“Laura taught me,” Ali said proudly. “I wanted to do it, but I never See KNIT-WITS Page 6

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

CHAMBER CONNECTION MINDY CROOK MAIN STREET-CHAMBER DESIGN COMMITTEE

Preserving Main Street’s history

W

e need your HELP! Information, history, old photos and stories and memories of Woodbine’s Main Street District are needed!

Woodbine’s Main Street has seen a makeover over the last six months and will see many more in the future. The design committee is continually working on the façade and street improvements, but we are also working behind the scenes. We want to improve our Main Street look, but at the same time, be true to the historical character of the buildings.

Design Committee members are currently working on the application for designation as a National Historic District. Why is it important to obtain this designation? Well… when the Woodbine Main Street District is placed on the National Register of Historic Places it becomes a part of the Nation’s official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation.

Authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Register is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate and protect our historic and archeological resources.

Properties listed in the Register include districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering and culture. The National Register is administered by the National Park Service, which is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior.

There are several building or lots (new buildings on old lots) the committee would like to find information about … especially the lots that have had multiple buildings erected on them. If you would like to write down some notes or contact Mary Heistand with your information, it would help out a great deal.

We also want to collect any old pictures that you might have depicting downtown Woodbine buildings and activities (any timeframe in the last 100 years up to the 1970’s or 80’s of buildings etc. that aren’t here anymore or have changed a great deal).

We will make copies or scans of the pictures and add them to the Woodbine Building Inventory.

This is the list of buildings we need more information on: • Lot where Farmers Trust & Savings Bank presently sits • Farm Supply Store • Corn Palace • Match It Auto Body Shop • Boustead Realty • Thompson Chiropractic / Karon’s Salon Building/or the lot prior to the building • Carson & Clark Insurance lot • Strandz / Retro Foam building • Barry Accounting /Apartments lot • Natural Creations lot • Skarins/Old Bakery Building & Apartments lot • The Weir Apartments (pictures of house before it was converted to apartments)

Change is coming ...

C

hange is coming, my fellow Twiners. And I’m not just referring to the beautiful, fall scenery as it changes and evolves around us. I’m talking about other changes and evolution that is going on around us.

I walk out the front door of The Twiner office, and there is construction. I walk out the back door of the Twiner office, there is construction. I leave for Dunlap by way of Bus Brown Drive, and there is construction. It’s everywhere.

Because change is coming.

Now nobody panic. It’s actually a beautiful thing. It’s showing progress, while maintaining the integrity and rich history of Woodbine.

Every morning as I pull into work, I have the opportunity to survey the changes to the Whitmore building. I know it’s not the Whitmore building anymore, but that’s just what it is to me. Every time I see it, I am amazed. I’ve gotten glimpses of the inside – and the outside work has completely peaked this past week. It almost looks like something out of a fairytale or old western book. The vibrant, “old-school” coloring. The large, spacious windows. And yet, I can’t help but to ponder this gnawing feeling I get sometimes … What does Anita think? What would/does Bill think? Strange.

I know. But still …

Then, walking back into the alley, I’ve chatted with several people regarding a slew of happenings. The removal of the gigantic Quonset hut on the front page last week. The tearing down of the brick building. The continued tear-up-haul-away-

ground-leveling work that continues day after day.

And a new medical clinic! A brand new place – not off the beaten path – but right there for all to see on their way from here to there. Now that’s pretty exciting.

And the construction work down at Tommy Gate. Have you seen the enormity of it? I know it’s been planned for some time … but watching it is a completely different story. A completely realistic story.

And I’m guessing Fire and Rescue will soon begin their progress, too. More construction to add to the list.

More ways the town is progressing while staying true to its rich history.

Personally, I think Woodbine citizens should be so proud to be in such a progressive, small-town community. Sights are set on moving forward, while not forgetting what was backwards.

Fabulous. And bravo. I’m proud to say I may be working at The Twiner at one of the most exciting times in the town’s history!

October’s odds and ends

I

had a phone call earlier this week from good friends of the Extension office living north of Magnolia asking about any state-listed records for vegetables. This summer, they produced a magnificent sweet potato that weighed in well over 10 pounds. Truly amazing!

Well, the short answer is there is no official (or unofficial) registry for vegetables. But, I did learn from Extension horticulturalists in Ames that there were also several other huge sweet potatoes grown around Iowa this summer, and with good reason. All this points out a basic truth about sweet potatoes and other things we grow. Sweet potatoes originated from areas where there is lots of rainfall and warm temperatures during the growing season. So what we are seeing this fall is the result of the sweet potato plant’s getting weather that fitted its genetic abilities.

There are other things

out there that have also benefitted from the “odd” weather; also, some that are genetically wired differently have suffered as well.

Remember the comments I wrote in this column about the vining weedy wild cucumbers a month ago and then the masses of millipedes that have invaded our spaces? Both are direct beneficiaries of warm, wet conditions. A loser in the weather is the many burr oak trees on hillsides and in lawns that have really looked rough this last month.

Those burr oak trees, stalwart trees of the pioneer prairies of the loess hills, have taken a beating from more than one foliar nemesis including the gregarious oak leaf blotch miner (an insect that hollows the tissue between leaf surfaces), anthracnose and other leaf spot diseases, and in a few cases a disease called burr oak leaf blight. This insect and two diseases are encouraged by the weather pat-

EXTENSION OFFICE RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu terns we have. One year of early defoliation is not a big thing for a mature oak tree, but string a few years together and the trees begin to become stressed.

Continuing on the strange weather theme, I heard a comment the other day that a couple of farmers have broken through the magical 300 bushel per acre threshold this year! Yessirree, it is absolutely true! A couple of fields have produced over 200 bushels per acre at harvest – in March, 2010, and yet an additional 180 to 200 bushels again this past week. O.K., so it is not really fair, but still the claim can be made: nearly 400 bushels of corn harvested per acre in 2010!!! In Harrison County!!! (Of course, think of the 2009

yields… zilch!)

A final thought…

Last week was declared by the Governor as 4-H week. But just because the annual celebration is now over doesn’t mean the end of opportunities in 4-H! If you know of young folks who would enjoy camaraderie with friends new and old and gain experiences working with really good folks who volunteer as leaders in their communities to explore new fun things to learn, get them in touch with the Extension office, or contact a 4-H leader near you. Lots of fun and great leadership experiences await you!

Purchase local produce this fall

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey encouraged Iowans to visit a local Iowa apple orchard or pumpkin patch to stock up on great, locally grown fruits and vegetables.

“Apple harvest is in full swing and many farmers have a good crop even with the very challenging weather they have experienced this growing season,” Northey said. “There is no better way to enjoy fall

in Iowa with your family than to head out to an apple orchard or pumpkin patch and take in the beautiful autumn weather and fall colors while providing your family with healthy, wholesome food and great memories.”

Many orchards are reporting a good crop and strong sales so far this year, with more people getting out and coming to the farm. Several farms are offering new

varieties, which present a great opportunity for people to try different types of apples. Many orchards are offering festivals and family entertainment as well.

Pumpkin growers have also faced challenges with the wet weather, but many growers are reporting a plentiful crop. So, picking a pumpkin to adorn your front porch or to create that perfect pie will certainly still be an option

this fall.

To help you plan for your day here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your trip to the orchard or pumpkin patch: • Check the Web site of the farm you will be attending as there are many fall festivals occurring that will offer heaps of fun activities and entertainment for the whole family • Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you aren’t afraid to get dirty • Bring sun gear (lotions/hats/sunglasses) • Many farms offer drinks and snacks and even lunch, so you may want to bring along some extra money (check with the farm before going) • Be sure and read rules of the farm and adhere to them as they are there to help keep you safe “Visiting a local orchard or pumpkin patch is a great family activity and a way to show your children the farms where our food comes from,” Northey said.

For more information or to find an apple orchard near you, you can visit the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s Web site at http://www.iowaagriculture.gov/AgDiversific ation.asp or call Tammy Stotts at 515-281-7657.

www.woodbinetwiner.com

Jon Plowman, Woodbine, set out to win two races this year and he has exceeded his goal. He has, in fact, won three, including his first in McCook, Neb., a Fourth of July surprise in Harlan and – the one he’s most excited about – the Tiny Lund Memorial.

“I finished the points chase eighth after missing a race and year of ups and downs,” Plowman said.

“Last year at the Tiny Lund Memorial, I got in a crash in my heat race ‘qualifier’ and it ended my weekend. So coming into September, I was

hoping my luck and the Lund would change.”

And so it did. The race was scheduled Sept. 1718 and Plowman was fourth in his heat. He needed a fourth place finish to make the main event.

“We took the green and the leaders got together and everyone slowed down. I was shuffled back to eighth in the first corner,” Plowman said. “Going down the back stretch, a chunk of mud hit my visor to help block sunlight and broke it, so it was hanging down, only giving me about half of my vision out of a hole that was small enough already.”

However, he managed a third place finish in the heat to qualify for the main event.

After the first qualifying round was complete, the drivers went out onto the front stretch and stood by a card on the ground and whatever number was on the card was where they would be starting.

Plowman drew “2.”

Instead of driving home that evening, Plowman and his uncle stayed the night at the track. However, rain dashed a little excitement as the race was rain checked to Oct. 2.

After a two week wait, the weather was perfect.

Plowman was hoping the race would be, too.

“When we took the green flag, all I was thinking to myself was, ‘Make every lap perfect,’” he said. “After only two laps, I had a straight away lead on the field.

Caution flag after caution flag, I hit my restarts right every time, leading all 20 laps to take the checkered flag.”

Along with that checkered flag came a prize for Plowman’s home – a trophy.

“When I got the trophy, I got out and it was almost as tall as me. This is my first trophy that has ever been this big,” Plowman said.

School board reveals enrollment increase From BOARD Page 1 expenses down from about 15 percent compared to last year.

In the absence of both principles, teacher Sarah Cox was on hand to explain the staff development plans for the school year. The Iowa Core curriculum and the anti-bullying policy were at the top of the list. Cox explained the effectiveness of the teachers being able to collaborate on teaching issues, using the knowledge gained from last month’s Iowa Core Curriculum meeting as well as technology and stressing the importance of continuing the Wednesday afternoon teacher in-service day.

Teachers Jason Strong, Mary Eby, Tracy Kelley, Cox and both school principals have been trained to use and teach the rest of the staff the Iowa Core Methods. The board thanked Cox for her valuable insight, and for answering their many questions.

Other action items passed included: appoint-

ing board president Joanna Shaw to the County Conference Board, Certifying the PPEL Tax as approved by voters, approving the early graduation request from Taylor Blum providing all graduation requirements are met and approving participation with the Iowa Drug and Alcohol testing. After much debate, and no decision being agreed upon, the first reading of Board Policy 401.12, Employee Use of Cell Phones, was tabled to allow further information to be collected. It was noted the IASB has set forth a new cell phone policy guideline for schools to follow.

Items passing on the consent agenda included the approval of the minutes from the last meeting, the financial reports, the board agenda, payment of bills audited by Amy Sherer, resignation from Heath Stille as assistant baseball coach, contract to Kylie Harris for Special Education Associate, resignation

from Erin Hochstein as head softball coach, contract to Sara Cox as Gifted and Talented Coordinator, contract to Tim Marshall for high school golf and junior high girls basketball, contract to Adam Cox for junior high wrestling and junior high boys track, contract to Josh Hinze as technology coordinator to be shared with Boyer Valley through the 28E agreement and the approval of the use of two buses by the local churches to take the youth to a Haunted House.

Vint explained the sharing agreement with the new technology coordinator. Hinze will have a Nov. 1 start date and be working three days a week in Woodbine and two days a week in Boyer Valley. Vint would like to set his priorities as maintaining the servers and network, setting up new software and hardware, trouble shooting technology problems, advising the staff on new technology and supervising the Microsoft settlement.

Vint also brought to the board’s attention that a coop wrestling agreement is being worked on with Boyer Valley. There are currently seven Boyer Valley high school students that are interested in participating in the Woodbine program along with several junior high students as well.

Woodbine Wrestling Coach Matt Mentink has met with those athletes, and had a positive outlook for the program. A question about whether or not the coop agreement would include wrestling cheerleaders arose from a student in attendance and Vint promised to check into and report back on. Vint explained to the board that coaching positions are becoming harder to fill in the area schools, and appreciated those that have stepped up to help out with the athletic programs.

There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:41 p.m.

The next meeting is set for 7 p.m. Nov. 11.

Angela’s interest was similar.

“My mentor, Dottie Seymour, had been talking about the knitting night at the adult library one day,” she said. As her eyes got big and a smile came across her face, she added, “I had no idea what that was.”

However, the pair, though not proficient in knitting at this point, have begun to make their knitting mark, one knit and pearl at a time.

A broken heart From BUSH Page 1 Angela began to whisper.

“She couldn’t talk for about three weeks,” Misty remembered. “She barely whispered.”

To make things worse, an MRI showed she had suffered strokes previously.

“We had thought after her six-month surgery she had had a stroke. She was favoring her right side as she tried to crawl. The MRI confirmed it,” Misty said. “She was about 11 months old.”

Now, Angela’s left arm is contracted into her elbow and she’s in a cast at night to straighten it out.

And she can’t grip things with her left hand – not even a pencil.”

Although from Woodbine, Misty has been staying in Lincoln, Neb., at the Madonna Hospital where Angela is. Her husband generally visits on the weekends with their 7-year-old son, Payton. Misty only makes it home once in a while to help tidy up the house and spend some time with her son.

The good news is that Angela will be home at the end of the month, wheelchair bound, but home. And Misty is counting down the days. However, coming home and staying home are different things.

“She’ll have to be driven to Madonna in Lincoln three days a week for intense physical therapy to help her arms and legs,” Misty said. “She’ll also get occupational therapy to help her hands and speech therapy to help her memory. Because the stroke really affected her memory.”

The drive is about two hours one way. That’s four hours a day, three days a week in the car, interspersed with four hours of intense therapy between the long drives. But it will be worth it.

Because Angela can’t tie her shoes anymore. Or feed herself. Or button her shirt.

“It’s like starting all over. Reteaching her social graces and feeding herself. It’s like having a 65pound toddler,” Misty said.

Coming home also poses its own problems as Jason, working 40 hours a week, is scrambling to make their Woodbine home accessible, including a new ramp and a handicap-modified bathroom.

“Our church, Logan Christian Church, has been a blessing,” Misty said. “They donated the funds for the ramp, and we’ve had help putting it up. And they’re sending help to redo the bathroom.”

The drastic changes in the Bush’s lives is far from over. Misty will stay home with Angela until she graduates, meaning the family will live on Jason’s paycheck.

“It’s just not possible and because there’s a possibility of more surgeries,” she said. “Hopefully this is the last one, but that’s not a guarantee.”

The good news is the doctors are expecting a full recovery for Angela. Walking, talking – and even playing sports. Softball and bike riding are Angela’s current wants.

“She will walk again. She will get better. She might have to go home in a wheelchair, but the therapist doesn’t think she’ll need it her whole life,” Misty said. “But it might take a year or two, depending.”

The Four Rivers Riding Club is currently working on setting up a benefit for Angela – but it won’t be held until spring. Homemade items by Misty’s mother-in-law and friends, are being completed for an auction to be held in conjunction with the benefit.

In the meantime, an account for Angela has been set up at Bank of the West in Woodbine, 647-2301, or donations may be sent to Angela Bush, 209 Ely St., Woodbine, IA 51579.

“And Angela loves receiving mail. It’s the highlight of her day,” Misty said. “She absolutely gets excited over mail. It’s her bright spot in the day for now. But we’ll be home around noon Oct. 30. Maybe 12:30. We might have to stop at McDonalds.”

Sports Six turnovers spell disaster for Woodbine JEFF POWERS For The Twiner Four interceptions, two fumbles and the defense giving up several long plays made for a long night for the Tigers against long time rival Boyer Valley. The game got away from the Tigers early and they couldn’t fight back to make a game of it, losing 56-14.

Along with the loss, the Tigers won’t be seeing post season play for the first time since joining eight man football. The Tigers fall to 3-5 overall and will end the season below 500, with only one game left to play. Though a young team, this team had higher expectations for this year. They also had high expectations against the Bulldogs.

“I was surprised about our lack of execution on the offensive side of the ball. The players had intensity and wanted to play well, but their desire to play well did not translate into execution on the field. I did like our defensive aggression which has continued to improve all year, but the bottom line is we gave up too many points and did not score enough to win the game,” head coach Jason Strong said after the game.

The first quarter, the Tigers first possession, and the Bulldogs first possession set the tone for the game. After receiving the opening kickoff, the Tigers fumbled the ball on the first snap, giving the Bulldogs a short field.

Three plays later the Bulldogs scored on a 12yard pass. A punt, an

interception, another punt and one first down would be the extent of the Tigers offense for the first quarter. The Bulldogs would score on their next two possessions, taking a 21-0 lead into the second quarter.

The bulldogs would then score on a 12 play drive before the Tiger defense shut them down on their final three possessions. The Tigers offense put together an eight play drive capped by a long run and touchdown catch by Kyle Kuhlman.

With the defense making some stops the offense ended the half with a punt and another interception. The half ended with the Tigers down, 28-6.

At this point the Tigers had a little momentum.

“If there was a turning point of the game, it may have been with a fumble on the opening possession of the game. We turned the ball over on the 15 yard line and gave Boyer Valley a short field.

Overall, we had too many turnovers and mental mistakes to compete against a solid team like Boyer Valley. Despite our mistakes, we felt like going into half time, we had a chance to get back into the game. However turnovers doomed us in the second half as well,” Strong said.

The third quarter saw the Tigers run only three plays on offense. An interception and a fumble on a kickoff gave the ball right back to the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs first possession was a 10 play drive. The Tiger defense stood tall

and stopped them on a fourth down, though a lot of time went off the clock.

The next Bulldog possession also took a lot of time off the clock, but ended up in a 27-yard touchdown pass. The Bulldogs would score on their next three possessions in the fourth quarter, including two long runs for touchdowns. The Tigers fourth quarter saw another interception and a punt blocked for a safety. One bright spot was the Tigers’ final score on a Kuhlman 50-yard run, making the final 56-14.

This game did see senior quarterback and defensive back Zach Archer on the side lines nursing a shoulder injury.

Without Archer, Kuhlman had over 100-yards of offense and Sam Powers, Gavvon Shafer and Austin Quick combined for 46 tackles to lead Woodbine.

Next week the Tigers play their last game on the road against Charter Oak-Ute, trying to end the season on a winning note.

“For the final week of the season, we travel to Charter Oak Ute. COU is a team that is very young but has improved all season. We are going to look at this game as our playoff game, and the players want to end the season on a positive note with a win against an old conference rival,” Strong said of next week’s rival.

The game will start at 7 p.m. and mark the last game for four seniors: Zach Archer, Jacolby Ehlert, Spencer Ball and Austin Quick.

Football seniors honored their parents during Parent’s Night Oct. 15. Pictured, front row, left to right, are seniors Zack Archer, Spencer Ball, Fynn Lindner, Austin Quick and Jacolby Ehlert.

Woodbine’s Josh Matusik, Number 3, did what he could to stop the Boyer Valley Bulldogs from moving forward. The game against county rivals the Boyer Valley Bulldogs, proved a tough one as bad plays led and tough competition led to the loss of the game, with the Tigers falling 56-14.

Community Iowa’s Water and Land Legacy CONNIE BETTS Naturalist, Harrison County Conservation Board As voters head to the polls this November, they will have several important decisions to make including an amendment to Iowa’s constitution called Iowa’s Water and Land Legacy.

Here are some facts and information for voters to better understand how it would affect their lives, Harrison County and all of Iowa.

The Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation Trust Fund would provide a permanent, dedicated and accountable funding mechanism for protection of water quality, conservation of agricultural soils, and improvement of natural areas in Iowa, including fish and wildlife habitat.

If passed, it has the potential of providing an additional $150 million dollars a year for conservation in Iowa. The money would not come from a tax increase, but from allocating 3/8 of one cent from sales tax revenue the next time the Iowa Legislature approves a sales tax increase.

Based on need and priorities, the money raised would be divided into several different areas.

• Agriculture and Land Stewardship: $30 million to meet the demand for the soil conservation and watershed protection programs administered by the U.S. Department of

Agriculture and Land Stewardship. This money would provide additional technical assistance to soil and water conservation districts, develop a stream bank and buffer stabilization project, initiate a state-funded CRPtype program and start a tillage management incentives program to assure adequate crop residue levels in areas impacted by demand for cellulosic ethanol production. This new money would be used to support environmental, agricultural and livestock stewardship.

• Natural Resources Management: $35 million for identified needs in state parks, state preserves, wildlife areas, state forests, wildlife habitats, wildlife diversity programs, access for hunting and other recreational activities, technical assistance from forestry, fisheries and wildlife biologists through private landowner programs and incentives, water trails, river and stream programs, natural resources outreach including natural history interpretation in the parks and natural areas, angling opportunities, conservation law enforcement, recreational safety programs and others.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is the state agency charged with conserving and enhancing Iowa’s natural resources and providing quality outdoor recreational opportunities.

• Resources Enhancement and Protection: an additional

$20 million to meet demands of the REAP program. This program provides funds for projects that enhance our natural, cultural, educational and recreational resources across all of the state.

• Local Conservation Partnership Program: $20 million for habitat protection and conservation, infrastructure needs, conservation education and nature interpretation at the local level.

Dedicating these funds is part of a strategic effort to best address conservation needs in local communities. Funds would be made available through grants to county conservation boards ($12 million), nongovernmental organizations ($5 million), and cities ($3 million).

• Watershed Protection: $20 million to improve and encourage a watershed approach to solving water quality environmental problems.

Watershed protection includes encouragement of watershed groups, targeted projects, wetland restoration, and runoff filtration management techniques.

• Trails: $15 million for the addition of new hiking, walking, biking, and water trails, and maintenance of existing trails. At this time, Iowa’s trails are owned and managed by various entities such as county conservation boards, the state, cities, and nonprofit organizations.

These state investments in trails will be able to leverage additional federal, local, and private

funds.

• Lakes Restoration: $10 million additional for lake restoration needs.

Local involvement and watershed protection are essential components of all successful lake restoration projects.

This plan is the result of three years of research and legislative work.

More than 90 percent of Iowa’s legislators voted “yes” twice to create the enabling legislation in 2008 and 2009. Results of a survey conducted in 2008 show that 90 percent of Iowans say protecting land, water and recreational opportunities is critical to the state’s economic vitality and 75 percent support increased funding for those purposes.

Currently, money dedicated to conservation in Iowa ranks near the bottom, 47th out of 50 states.

Neighboring states that have passed similar legislation includes Missouri and Minnesota, along with Johnson County, Iowa.

After the list of candidates on the ballot, Question #1 will be about the amendment. The exact language on the ballot will read: Iowa’s Water and Land Legacy amendment “creates a dedicated trust fund for the purposes of protecting and enhancing water quality and natural areas in the State including parks, trails, and fish and wildlife habitat, and conserving agricultural soils.”

Mayor Hutchenson set trick-ortreating for Saturday, October 30, from 5:00-7:00 p.m.

Members of the Main Street Design Committee presented a tree removal and replacement plan for both sides of Walker Street from the depot up to Sixth Street. The DNR Forester, Atlantic, did an informal site inspection summer of 2009, and noted most of the existing trees in this area are in the process of dying or inappropriate for the location. To address the problem and improve the site-lines of the main

street district, the following steps are recommended by the Design Committee: remove overgrown and girdled trees, and trees obstructing or drooping into pedestrian pathways; select a miniature Iowa native tree that is uniform (all one variety) as replacement; begin investigating grant and other funding sources; review completed formal plan with City Council; projected start date is spring of 2011.

The City Public Works (PW) amended building plans were reviewed. Rick Emswiler worked with Jensen Builders crew on reducing the construction cost. With changes and removals the base bit of $485,500.00 was reduced to $448,400.00. After discussion on how to remedy the high cost of the new PW building, it was decided to check into the spec bldg. on Industrial Drive to use as the PW building. Emswiler offered to assess the building and evaluate changes to make a serviceable building. He also reminded the Council the bids for the PW building were good for 30 days. Emswiler set Wednesday morning to inspect the spec bldg. with Public Works Director Paul Marshall and Electric Superintendent Chris Waite.

Joey Steinkuehler addressed the Council on the problem of water pooling around his garage at 806 Park. A hump in the alley where utilities are buried prevents water from draining away from the Steinkuehler garage. Public Works Director Marshall said he tried rock to help prevent the problem, but the water didn’t drain. Marshall is to continue investigating the concern.

High school students, Taylor Blum, Chantel Schwery, and Victoria Thompson attended the Council Meeting as part of their government class.

The 2010 street finance report was reviewed by the Council.

Meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m.

Sports Lady Tigers earn gold

Oct. 11 OA/BCIG Invitational The Woodbine cross country team travelled to OA/BCIG Oct. 11. The trip proved both stressful and successful as the girls’ team brought gold home for the first time this season.

Stress plagued the team – both emotionally and physically. Two team members lost family members and illness took over.

“It was an emotional meet to say the least, with Ellen and Levi’s grandmothers passing away,” head coach Rod Smith said. “But still, the girls’ team ran great.”

For the girls, both Shelby Dick and Claire Probasco were left behind due to illness, putting pressure on the remaining runners. Despite the added pressures, the runners pulled through in fine style, finishing with 72 points, just over East Sac County with 75, to clinch gold over the 16 teams present.

Shelby Hall once again finished first for the Lady Tigers, finishing sixth.

Ellen Cox, Emily Schwery, Alyssa Blum and Paige Hackman didn’t let up, as the four-some of teammates crossed the finish line 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st, respectively. Rebekka Boer rounded out the Lady Tiger team, finishing 47th out of a total pool of 75 competitors.

“They really stepped it up and got the job done,” Smith said. “The girls really put it together and ran tough. It was good to see Emily coming back from

leg problems. Ellen ran great, carrying some emotional baggage and Alyssa Blum really stepped it up. I hope they continue to improve through conference on Saturday and Regionals next Thursday.”

Junior varsity Lady Tiger Megan Pauley finished ninth out of 14 runners.

The boys’ team also faced some of that stress as they were running without Levi Brown, due to a death in the family. However, the Black and Gold still managed an 11th place finish out of 15 teams.

Ethan Lenz took the lead for the Tiger boys’ team, finishing 11th out of 86 runners. Other runners included: Jameson Delaney, 39th; Trevor Barnum, 52nd; Davis Hackman, 73rd; Logan Worth, 81st; Patrick Glackin, 84th; and Chris Andersen, 86th.

No junior varsity boys participated.

OA/BCIG also served as the junior high’s Western Valley Conference meet where the girls’ team made a fine showing, finishing second out of eight teams.

Megan Maaske led the Lady Tigers in sixth; Sara Marsh, 13th; Emma Probasco, 15th; Macenzie Hicks, 21st; and Kassidy Willis, 22nd, out of 24 runners.

There weren’t enough junior high boys to form a team, however, individually, JC Probasco finished 10th and Zeb Schwery,

Home Help

13th.

The junior h i g h teams will be competing at s t a t e while the Tiger junior varsity and varsity runners compete at their Western Valley Conference meet Oct. 16 at Shadow Valley Golf Course. Districts and Regionals are scheduled for Oct. 21 in Panorama.
