Jennifer Stumbo takes over duties as City Administrator Jennifer Stumbo said she is very excited in her new position as City Administrator/Clerk.

“Having worked here for three and a half years, I have a feel of what the City Council’s goals are,” says the former city clerk. As of April 12, when her appointment was approved, Stumbo began taking over duties of the previous administrator Donovan Olson.

“Donovan set a good example for me. Some things will remain the same while others are different,” she says.

Her new position involves administration, operational and financial functions of the city. She will oversee personnel, finances and public relations.

Stumbo says the street department is working on some huge projects, and now, being on the financial side, she can take information she has gathered and be of assistance.

She is also working with Police Chief Mick Bailey in developing an efficient way of handling community issues - a consistent way for citizens to address issues.

Those who have property concerns and would like the city to investigate, are asked to stop by City Hall and fill out a formal “Complaint Form.”

288 Swedish flags, quite a site to see

At Prairie Lawn Cemetery, one mile east of Boxholm, there will be a Memorial Day weekend display of Swedish flags marking the sites of 288 Swedish immigrants who settled in the Boxholm area. This celebration of our ancestors was conceived and the flags given by JoAnn Eddy, Glenn and Marva Stark and LaVon Ferger, whose families are among those honored. Pictured is the gravesite of their great paternal grandparents.

Let’s all gather and honor our veterans this Memorial Day

by Sydney Diggs The Iowa: Then and Now class is hosting a Memorial Day service honoring veterans interred in the cemetery as well as present veterans in our community. During this short service, there will be a flag raising ceremony, the recognition of the Civil War veterans, singing of God Bless America, and a short prayer by Pastor Hoyt from the Ogden Community Methodist Church. There will also be refreshments available. It will be held at the Glenwood Cemetery Monday, May 30 starting at 10 a.m.

This service is to recognize the veterans in more ways than the flags in the cemetery. The goal is to bring out the community to honor these veterans together and revive the true meaning of Memorial Day. Make sure to come out and support this event and bring a blanket and chair as seating will be unavailable.

“The Boxholm News” newspaper now on microfilm at the Ogden library JENNIFER STUMBO

Christy Thede (lower right) was recently hired as Assistant City Clerk and began her new job Monday, May 23.

The only existing collection of the newspaper published at Boxholm from 1914 to 1934 has recently been microfilmed for the first time and is now available to the public for viewing at the Leonard A. Good Community Library.

Although not a complete collection, these approximately 1,200 pages (representing about one third of the total 950 editions) were all there was to work with.

The originals are kept in the Boxholm Museum owned by Dave Peterson. Says Peterson, “I spent about 40 years accumulating them and if any-

thing would happen to them, they’d be gone forever. When the Leonard A. Good Library at Ogden volunteered to pay for the microfilming, I thought, now is the time.”

A brief history

by David Peterson The weekly “Boxholm News” was started Nov. 12, 1914 by Jerome C. Burton who came to Boxholm from Pilot Mound. He was publisher of “The Pilot Mound Monitor,” but his building was destroyed by fire in March of 1941 and rather than rebuild there, he came to Boxholm

and started a new paper.

There were four different publishers over the next 20 years, with Howard L. Springer serving the longest.

There were 312 subscribers in 1930, with a year’s subscription costing $1.50. Very few of these papers were ever saved.

No papers were issued from October 1918 to October 1919 and again from November 1927 to September 1928. The last issue was Dec. 6, 1934, a victim of the hard times in the Great Depression. In January of 1935, the “Ogden Reporter” took over the duty of reporting Boxholm news.

Swede Valley - the beautiful church on the hill. Pastor Donald Sondrol, who served both Swede Valley and Immanuel Lutheran between 1982-1987, once said that a parishioner commented on how peaceful a Sunday service was at Swede Valley, and he replied, “Yet more people seem to fall asleep at Immanuel!”

This moment in Ogden’s history is sponsored by:

ast Friday we had a table at Cid’s, the local natural food store, to promote our Spring Open House here at the horse sanctuary. Cid’s is the place to go in Taos for healthy food and anything natural. It was one of the first stores here to encourage recycling grocery bags. They give people a poker chip for each bag when they bring their own bags with them for their groceries. Local nonprofits are invited to have a donation can and for each poker chip placed in the can, the nonprofit gets 10 cents. Every month our horse rescue gets a check for around $100 from the poker chip donations. The owners of Cid’s are generous supporters and give other donations as well, and have volunteered and sponsored horses over the last several years.

I had made cards to hand out about the Open House and one of my volunteers made mini cupcakes, gluten-free (of course!). We set up a table with photos, flyers, brochures, cards, the cupcakes, flowers, and donation cart, which is a colorful little wooden gypsy wagon pulled by two stuffed horses. Bindy, our little donkey, had his own basket for carrot donations,

he immigrants who came from Europe in the last half of the 19th century were men, women and children who had high regards and love for the spiritual values in life. They brought with them hope for a better life and a willingness to work hard. They brought their Bibles and their hymn books and used them in their homes and churches.

The years between 1867 and 1872 saw a great immigration from Sweden. They were factory workers, farmers and miners. These people wanted the preaching of the word of God and administration of the Holy Sacraments in their adopted country.

On Sept. 25, 1868, they called a meeting to organize a congregation. Pastor Malmberg from Swede Bend, which is now Stratford, was invited to preside over the meeting.

C.J. Damstrom was elected to act as secretary. At this meeting, 50 communicants and 49 children joined to form the Swede Valley Church in Moingona, IA. The first church services were held in the home of Mathis Honstrom. In April, 1869, the congregation decided to rent the Honstrom house from April 1 to October 1 of that year to be used as a church and school house. It was also during this time that the first confirmation class was held by Pastor Malmberg.

Sept. 22, 1869, the congregation moved to buy an acre from Sandbergs on which to build a church, 28 feet long, 20 feet wide and 18 feet high. This location would have been one mile east from where the Marcy Center School used to sit. The next year it was decided to move the church to where the Marcy Center School was located. But it seems that the congregation was still not satisfied because on Jan. 5, 1874 a new committee was formed to see about a new location. Five acres of land were purchased for $100.

This site was approximately one mile north of the present church.

And yes, you guessed it! In 1880 a committee was again appointed to see about another location. So the church was moved again onto donated land. Finally we have arrived at our present location!

It was June 10, 1880 that the congregation decided to build a new church. It was to be 48 feet long, 34 feet wide and 18 feet high.

Before the new church building was completed in 1881, there was dissension in regard to its planning and construction. But then by an act of God, some say, the dissension was literally blown away! In the church records of March 2, 1883 it reads: “There was no appeasement. But God who directs all things, even directed this for the best, for a cyclone

Portrait of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. This hangs above the altar and was received as a gift to the church in 1921. came June 17, 1882. This took the old church and with it, the object of the quarrel. The new church was finished in better harmony and accord and was consecrated in 1882.”

In 1887, the parsonage was constructed at a cost under $400.

In 1899, the basement was dug and a coal furnace was installed.

In 1906, the west part of the church was added. The pulpit was moved and the altar rail and baptismal font were added.

In 1910, the Luther League gave $300 for the construction of stables for holding horses and buggies during church events. The stable was built across the road (currently Hwy. 169) on leased land.

1917 saw the start of construction for the choir platform and the future home of the pipe organ which was shipped from California. The original organ was in the balcony.

1921, we received the painting which is above the altar.

The Swedish language was used for Sunday services until 1924, when it was gradually changed to English.

By 1957 we really got modern. A new furnace was installed (no more shoveling coal!) Indoor plumbing was installed (no more cold trips to the outhouse!) Electricity was installed on the organ (no more pumping the organ on 100 degree days!) The oak floors were installed.

A centennial celebration was held Sunday, Sept. 29, 1968. The 125th anniversary took place Sunday, July 25, 1993.

In 1997 Swede Valley congrega-

tion joined with Immanuel Lutheran Church. The Celebration of Unity occurred Sunday, Jan. 5, 1997.

Today the Swede Valley Church hosts church services every June. It is also used for weddings, funerals, family reunions and other special events. It remains a central Iowa landmark and has been the subject of print media and TV features.

Swede Valley Preservation was formed and it is our sole purpose to maintain the church to the best of our abilities.

Visitors are welcome at Swede Valley during the Sundays in June when services are held at 9 a.m.

Bindy and Sally, one of the miniature horses, were well behaved. They stood patiently to pose for photos with shoppers and be petted. Having these two by our table out in front of the store drew lots of attention and hardly anyone could walk past without stopping to say hi.

Going to Cid’s is truly a social event. It seems like everyone goes to Cid’s. We usually have a table at Cid’s at least once a year. I saw people I hadn’t seen for months. It was like old home week. One beautiful young lady came up to say hi and I was blown away – it was one of Dustee’s first riding students, who had started riding him when she was just 11 years old. She is now graduating from high school and will be going to college in Rome next year. Seeing her so grown up made me realize how many years it’s been since I’ve been giving lessons.

We saw some of our other riders and their moms or dads and it was fun to catch up with what’s been happening with them, too. One guy stopped to say hi and it took me a moment to recognize who it was. I had worked for his mother when I was the manager at the ski lodge up at Taos Ski Valley way back in 2001.

We met people who were new to Taos and several visitors to our town.

One lady told me about how she worked with a horse rescue out east and she was a coordinator for ASPCA grants. I was proud to tell her that we

had just gotten our first grant from the ASPCA to sponsor a clinic that we are having next month for our horses and volunteers. She was pleased to hear about that and gave us a nice donation.

An elderly lady stopped to talk to one of my volunteers. She had always loved horses, she said, but had not been around them since childhood. She spoke about a memory that she has carried with her all these years of when she was just a young girl and had witnessed her grandfather beat a horse to death with a big metal rod. She broke down in tears as she told the story. It was obvious how she has carried the pain of that memory with her all this time. Thank goodness I have kind, caring volunteers. My volunteer put her arms around the elderly lady and let her cry, cried with her, then wiped her tears and gently invited her to come out and experience the love and joy that we share with our horses. It’s painful to think of horses that have experienced trauma and heartache like this and how it effects people.

I felt great sadness for this lady who carried that memory with her for over 60 years. It reminded me again of how no matter how long ago a bad experience was those memories are always with us and can be triggered in an instant. I wondered how the pain of witnessing such abuse had affected the lady’s life throughout the years. But by the time she left that day, she was smiling and seemed lighter somehow. Maybe it was just coincidence, but I felt that we were once again in the right place, at the right time, to help someone. Even at a grocery store, our little equines brought a bit of healing and peace to a troubled soul. I work hard to stay positive and supportive when things like this happen, but later that night I cried. I cried for the child who felt so much fear and grief and trauma at the sight of her grandfather’s violence to an innocent animal, and who had carried that memory for her entire lifetime. I cried for all the horses that still today suffer cruelty and abuse.

When I got home late that afternoon, I was thankful to be back with the beautiful horses that offer joy and hope to those who are open to receive it. And Bindy, our little donkey, was happy to be home with his stash of carrots. He made out like a bandit that day with his carrot donation basket!

All in all, it was a wonderful day. Emotional, but wonderful.

Until next time, Ruth B

CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN BEAVER UMC YOKED PARISH

Sunday: Church service is at 10 a.m. Everyone welcome.

The church of Christ Who are these people?

In our great land, we enjoy a rare privilege in choosing our leaders. In exercising this privilege, we should use judgement tempered by biblical values, trying to select those whose values most nearly reflect the standards of Christ. As Christians we must do at least three things in dealing with our leaders: First, let us PRAY for them (1 Timothy 2:1 -2). It is not inappropriate for us to pray that our leaders will have the courage to “betray” those who elected them, IF they were elected to do things which are wrong in the sight of God! (This is otherwise known as repentance and conversion.) Offering rich sacrifices taken from the flocks of the Amalekites may have been popular for Saul, but the prophet Samuel’s words of rebuke still ring clear through the ages; “to obey is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:21-22).

A second thing we can do, as children of light, is to ENCOURAGE our elected officials to make decisions based on biblical standards of morality. Since we have the privilege of a voice in our own governance, we also have the RESPONSIBILITY to speak up for GOD! Challenging our civil leaders (to do right) is not unholy behavior, but a legitimate opposition and outcry against unrighteous rulership. Consider the good effect saints could have on the governing of our nation if we spoke out as persistently and loudly FOR God and good as do the “lobbies for licentiousness!” In seeking to “lead the leaders” to righteous decisions, we may also lead them to the salvation of their own souls, as well; such was certainly the aim of Paul in Acts 24:25 and 26:28-29!

A third thing Christians can do to help our rulers rule justly (in ways which please God) is to praise them when they make godly decisions! Everyone appreciates praise (Proverbs 25:11), and our civil leaders will surely be more inclined toward doing what is right in God’s sight when they know they will be supported and encouraged in it.

We can have a profound effect on the world about us, if we will do what it takes; our leaders can be “as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds” with the help, encouragement, and guidance of God’s people to aid them in the right way. Let’s follow the Lord’s instruction in Matthew 5:16, and make ourselves felt (in a good way)!

See “In Search of the Lord’s Way”, Sunday at 7:30 am on KCWI, cable Ch. 9!

We would like to invite you to worship with us at 502 W. Walnut!

Saturday, May 14th runners and fitness enthusiasts braved the cold May air to run in the fifth annual Gladiator Assault Challenge at Seven Oaks Recreation east of Ogden. Over 10 states were represented. There were 1900 runners and 300 spectators.

Gladiator Assault Challenge is the Midwest’s premier test of endurance, speed, agility, strength, mental stamina and your ability to withstand a crazy party afterward. The Gladiator Assault Challenge obstacle course is a series of challenging physical obstacles an individual or team must navigate. The 5 - 7 mile course will challenge you with

running, climbing, jumping, crawling and balancing elements with the aim of testing overall endurance.

“When we started that morning it was 37 degrees.

It was very cold! Especially all the water obstacles,” one participant shared.

Joel Bryan of Seven Oaks stated, “There were lots of positive comments again this year (about the event).

One negative was the wind and cold Saturday. . . darn Mother Nature! We are already putting together the plan for next year. We may be pushing back the date to get warmer weather.”

Andy Hockenson, Boone County Conservation Director presented departmental update.

Hollingshead moved Duffy seconded motion to approve Boone County Resolution 2016-15 appointing first assistant county attorney and establishing salary as follows. NO: None; YES: Duffy, Foster and Hollingshead. Motion approved.

BOONE COUNTY RESOLUTION 2016-15 FOR APPOINTMENT OF FIRST ASSISTANT (DEPUTY) FOR THE BOONE COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE Whereas, the Boone County departments including the Assessor Office, Recorders Office, Treasurers Office, Sheriff’s Office and Auditor’s Office all have a position of First Deputy.

Whereas, in the State of Iowa several counties have first assistant, including Story County, Webster County, Dallas County, and Polk County.

Whereas, the First Assistant in these counties earn a salary not exceeding 85% of the annual salary of the County Attorney, and Whereas, the Boone County Attorney’s Office is one of the few counties that do not have this position but is in need of a First Assistant. At the year ending 2015 Boone County filed or opened 4,275 cases including 106 felonies and 332 indictable misdemeanors. Over the course of the 2015 year the office has prosecuted over 16 jury trials to completion. This figure is over 300% greater than years past.

Whereas, the Boone County Attorney’s Office is projected to earn revenue for the County in excess of $98,000 due to its License Reinstatement Program and the Boone County Attorney’s Office is working with other counties to expand this program possibly increasing revenue an additional $20,000 per year. In addition, the County Attorney’s Office and County Board of Supervisors worked together to save $10,000 from a regional task force with the intention to apply this money to a County Drug Task Force. Both offices with law enforcement believe this is the most effective way to combat illegal street drugs in Boone County.

Whereas, Matt Speers has been a prosecutor in Buena Vista and Boone County, and Whereas, Matt Speers has tried over 16 jury trials in Boone County and tried countless number of motions in front of the court in Boone County for over one year and endorsed by Boone Police Chief Bill Skare and Sheriff Gregg Elsberry.

Whereas, the Boone County Attorney Daniel Kolacia hereby appoints Matt Speers as First Assistant (Deputy) for the Boone County Attorney’s Office pursuant to Iowa Code section 331.903.

Whereas, the Boone County Attorney sets the wage of the First Assistant (Deputy) Attorney at 85% of the salary of the Boone County Attorney pursuant to Iowa Code section 331.904.

Whereas, the wage increase and responsibility increase will be more than off-set by higher collection revenue generated for the County making this request expense neutral to the County. In summary this promotion will be revenue neutral to the County taxpayers.

Now, therefore, it is Resolved that the Board of Boone County Supervisors finds that Matt Speers is hereby appointed as First Assistant (Deputy) County Attorney with his salary set at 85% of the Boone County Attorney’s salary, and It Is Further Resolved that this appointment takes effect at the time of the approval of this resolution.

From the desk of Kathy Pierce

What brings a 20-year-old girl from Legden, Germany to Ogden, Iowa?

Lucia Rossmöller’s first impression of the United States? Everything is bigger here!” she says. The 20-year-old from Germany came to Ogden the first week of May and had been staying with the Chad and Dell Higgins family.

I overheard her talking with the check out girl, Georga, at Clark’s Food Mart last week. When I paused after hearing the unique accent, Georga pointed at me and said, “She’s the paper lady. I bet they’d like to hear your story.” I introduced myself and asked if she had a few minutes to stop by the office so I could take some notes.

My first question was, “What brought you to Ogden?” She told me eight years ago her sister visited the States and stayed with a host family in West Virginia. Okay . . . that still didn’t explain Iowa. I then made the connection when she said their names: Chad and Dell Higgins. The family moved to Iowa (Ogden) a year ago where Chad and Dell took jobs at

Lucia Rossmöller (center) and her host family, from left, John Ross, Chad, Dell and Louis Higgins.

-Photo provided Iowa State University. Lucia had met them when they visited Germany.

During Lucia’s three month stay in the U.S. she planned to visit family members - descendants of those who emigrated here in the 1800s.

Her sister and father were sched-

uled to meet up with her last Saturday. They planned on spending three weeks in Kentucky visiting relatives, before returning to Iowa.

They even have relatives here. “In Fort Atkinson,” Lucia said. “Oh, Atchison, Kansas,” you mean?” No,

This may just become a tradition For most of the seniors, this was a trip down memory lane. One final walk down the hall where they attended elementary school. Clad in caps and gowns, soon-to-be graduates were greeted by a barrage of Howe Elementary youngsters anxious to congratulate members of the OHS Class of 2016. Leading the processional Wednesday, May 25 (to the music of Pomp and Circumstance) were Tristan Frantum and Blair Williams.

no. Iowa. It’s a tiny, tiny town.” I am not sure if it was my hearing or her accent, or maybe a combination.

She and her host family visited the Des Moines Bank Park Zoo. Louis, an eighth grader, took her to school for “show and tell.”

They have plans to visit Chicago.

“No relatives there,” she said, “we’re just sightseeing.” From there, to Arkansas where they’ll meet up with relatives and friends of the Higgins’s.

Lucia talked about growing up on a dairy farm in the Münsterland area of Germany. I shared with her that I live on a farm where we raise corn and soybeans. On her farm, she told, they have about 100 cows, much grass and some grains.

After graduating high school at the age of 16 she worked as an apprentice (industrial clerk) in a small distillery. Upon returning home, Lucia says she will begin college.

Thank you for visiting our small town, Lucia.

Bulldogs take to the diamonds

Ogden softball kicked off its season this past Monday at Humboldt while the baseball team hosted Woodward-Granger Tuesday. Coaches Mike Moses and Dick Smith shared their thoughts on the upcoming season.

OHS softball team’s first goal: repeat as conference champs

by AUSTIN KREBER

REPORTER SPORTS INTERN

The road to repeating as conference champions starts on Monday for the Ogden High School softball team, but there are many obstacles in their path.

Head Coach Mike Moses is heading into his eleventh season as the head coach for the Bulldogs. In those previous ten seasons though, he has never had to bring up as many eighth graders as he is this season. He has brought up five this season where his previous high was two. The reason for that is because of the number of players he lost last season.

“We lost five seniors, so that was expected, but tough. On top of that we lost a couple of people who decided not to try out or play. Altogether we lost 7 players that played a big part in last year’s success,” Moses said.

“We had 13 high schoolers and that wasn’t enough, so we had to call up a record number of eighth graders.”

It’s not all bad news as Moses still has high hopes for this team, and the eighth graders. “We still are returning a lot of experience. We are returning four all-conference players, plus two other players with loads of experience,” Moses said. “Plus, it’s not like the eighth graders just started playing softball. They have tons of experience, just not varsity experience.”

It is overall a very young team as they only have one senior on the team.

That won’t be a big problem as Moses said that a few leaders have already stepped up and the other players have already bought in. They have organized plenty of team activities already and are planning more in the future.

Moses knows that team cohesion is important to a successful team, which is why each year he stresses to the players that they should play together in the offseason.

“It’s a bit cliché but it’s true, championships are won in the offseason,” Moses said. “The players need to get used to each other so they know what the other is going to do. Team unity is very important.”

That unity will be important as they have a tough season ahead of them as while their conference was good last season, it is going to be even better this season. They lost to both Van Meter and Des Moines Christian twice last year, which accounted for four of their five conference losses, and those two teams are once again supposed to be near the top. Also, Madrid, who their other loss was to, only lost two contributing players. Add in the fact that Woodward’s do-it-all best player is returning from a torn ACL and it seems like there will hardly be a break at all in Ogden’s schedule.

That daunting schedule still hasn’t diminished Ogden’s high hopes or goals. “Our main goal is to win conference. It’s not just my goal either, it’s the players,” Moses said. “I had the players write down team and individual goals for this season. After looking at them, most had ‘win conference’ and even more had ‘win conference outright’ instead of tying for first like last year.” As much as Moses would like to win conference, his main goal is to get better every game so they are playing their best ball at the end of the season.

For the couple of players who wrote down that they would like to win state, Moses says a couple things need to happen for them to reach that goal. “First off we need the eighth graders to play like high school kids instead of junior high kids. It’s tough to ask and expect, but we will need them to mature quickly,” Moses said. “Second of all we need the team to really come together. Lastly, we just need to take one game at a time.”

If all that happens, Moses thinks his team is a real contender.

“It’s going to be hard, but we can get out of the woods and repeat as conference champs.”

to the editor:

to the editor:

I just want to take a moment to commend the 2016 retiring staff members of the Ogden Community. When you applied to become potential employees at OCS, you were selected as the candidates to be the most valuable and productive for our students and programs, as well as maintaining the facilities we had.

Superintendents Lars Garton and Ray Gaul recommended you to the Board of Education at that time, feeling you were the “cream of the crop” that were in our pool of potential employees. It shows now, many years later, you did not let them down.

You came into our district willing to work hard, and hand in hand with many mentors and successful staff members already on board. You bought into the philosophy of Ogden Excellence and produced quality leadership for assisting Ogden students to become prepared for daily living and the “outside world.”

Not only have you taken ownership in the school system, but thankfully you took pride within our community, our churches and businesses. You bought homes as well, which also benefited the tax base that paid your wages and maintained our school facilities, plus the city as well as the county entities.

You were visible on a daily basis around Ogden and had the opportunities to meet and know the citizens of the School District, which over the years has been enjoyable to you and the people of the community.

You attended school and community activities on a regular basis which proved to our students that their performances were important and a BIG part of the educational process.

Time changes many things, but in the back of our minds, we will remember your service to Ogden. I can tell a story or two about all of you and can honestly say I have been proud to know and work with each of you in one way or another over the years.

WELL DONE! Best of everything in whatever your future provides.

Please remember the old saying, “Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.” sincere i am gary paulsen Ogden, IA

Sunday we stopped at Casey’s in Ogden on our way back from Des Moines to Rockwell City. My daughter and I went in to the bathroom and my wife said she would stay in the car, so when I stopped the car, I left the keys in the middle console.

In the meantime my wife, who was in the back seat, decided that maybe she should go in too, as it was over an hour to get home. So she got out and left her purse in the car, so she clicked the electric door locks. I came out and tried the door and found out it was locked so went back in to Casey’s to see if the girl on duty knew of anyone that would help. She said that the police would help me and gave me the phone number.

I called and an officer came out to Casey’s in about 5 minutes. He was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. He worked and worked getting the car door crack to let the rod in to try and trip the lock. He set the car alarm off several times. A National Guard guy came over to help him and together they were able to open my car. I tried to pay him but he refused any payment.

Your town is mighty lucky to have this fine young man working for you and watching over your citizens. His last name is Benjamin and I want to thank him again. ted stacy Rockwell City, IA

REPORTER SPORTS INTERN

Despite losing two all-state players, the Ogden High School baseball team is hoping to improve on last year’s second place finish by winning conference this season.

Head Coach and Iowa High School Baseball Hall of Famer Dick Smith is heading into his 36th season as head coach for the Bulldogs so he knows how to put together a good team. He also knows how hard it is to lose two all-state players who were such a big part of last year’s success.

“What’s going to soften that blow is we have a lot of returning seniors.

We have seven altogether on the team and they will be a good nucleus,” Smith said. “They are going to need to step up.”

It’s going to help that they have 4 returning all-conference players.

Dick says they will provide good experience to an overall pretty young and inexperienced team. This inexperience will maybe contribute to a rocky start of the season Smith said.

“It’s going to be tough at the beginning. We are breaking in an all new outfield and they need some time to get used to playing with each other,” Smith said. “But after a bit of time we should be working well together and be a threat to anyone, especially to winning conference.”

Performing well in conference is Smith’s focus for now. It’s not going to be an easy task as Des Moines Christian and Van Meter are supposed to be really good. “Right now it looks like those two teams are at the top and we are all fighting for what’s left. We can still make a challenge though.

We just got to beat the teams we are supposed to,” Smith said.

Last season ended on a bit of a sour note for Smith as they were the number one seed for districts but were felled by a left handed pitcher in the first round. Smith is hoping that the team realizes the importance of taking one game at a time. Then they might find themselves further than last year’s team.

For Ogden to win state, Smith thinks it will come down to which team will have the most luck. “For any championship team, they need some luck. Balls need to bounce the right way, your hitters need to be hitting, you need to be injury free, and you need to be playing your best ball at the end of the season. If we or anyone else win, it’s because of luck.”

Smith has learned the value of luck in his 35 seasons and he plans on keep learning. “The most important key to coaching is to learning. You are never too old to learn. It doesn’t matter who the teacher is, I want to learn.”

It’s a lesson that he passes onto his players from the very start. It’s why he stresses the importance of having a good junior varsity team. He is confident in his team because he feels he can call up the junior varsity players and they can help carry the same type of load the two graduated all-state players shouldered last season. If the players can do that, they should be in good shape and maybe surprise a few people.
