The Damage and loss of business estimates from the 2011 flood reported by Harrison County businesses totals $3.6 million, said Harrison County Emergency Management

Editor

Director Larry Oliver.

Surveys were sent out to county businesses and cities to gather damage estimates including property, mitigation expenses and loss of business. From those sent out, approximately 20 returned estimates that totaled $3,603,151.

“I’m sure this is a really low figure,” Oliver said.

“When you look at those that didn’t respond. Some just didn’t want to share or they just didn’t respond.”

According to Oliver, the surveys were returned primarily from Missouri Valley but Modale also had a couple of businesses respond.

Kathleen Diggins Kane, a 1975 Lo-Ma graduate, has lived in Australia on and off for approximately 10 years. She serves as a library technician at the University of Notre Dame in Broome, an outback town in western Australia. Her breast cancer diagnosis in 2009 and treatment gave her an up close perspective on the Australian national healthcare system.

She first arrived in Australia as a teacher in 1980 and stayed for almost three years.

“I came because I was always fascinated by Australia and

wanted to see it first hand,” Kane said. “After living in other countries and the United States, I returned to Australia in 1994 and married Brian in 1997.”

According to Kane, the public Australian healthcare system has preventative health measures that catch problems before they get too serious.

“I am a living example of this,” she said.

According to Kane, when women turn 50, they are contacted by mail with an offer of a free breast examination completed by a visiting mammography mobile unit.

“So at age 50 I utilized the mobile unit and was consequently given a clean bill of

health and told I would be contacted in another two years,” she said.

In 2009, she received notice again for the routine mammogram, with very different results.

“Within two days I was phoned and asked to return to the mobile van,” Kane said. “I had a more thorough mammogram and within two days was asked to see my local doctor. He informed me that I needed to travel to Perth, our state capital 1,000 miles south of our hometown of Broome in Western Australia, and have a biopsy on

Editor Making the decision to become a volunteer fireman can’t be taken lightly nowadays. With all the new requirements for training, it is a huge commitment.

According to Logan Fire Chief Craig Charbonneau, anyone on the department now must be Fire Fighter I trained or an EMT. Just the volunteer time spent earning those certifications is mind boggling – 160 hours to be a certified EMT and 60 hours for Fire Fighter I. Plus, all members must recertify every two years.

The time spent in earning those certifications doesn’t include the time spent in volunteer work with the department, taking part in training exercises and meetings, not to mention actually fighting fires and answering rescue calls.

Oct. 6, several Logan Fire Department members spent the day at LoganMagnolia taking all elementary classes through the Denison Fire Safety Trailer.

The trailer gives children the opportunity to learn about kitchen safety as well SEE FIREMEN Page 2

From the Front

FIGHTING CANCER: Kane FROM PAGE 1 a suspicious lump in my left breast.”

Kane and her husband, Brian, traveled to Perth (no charge for air transportation) and she had the biopsy. That afternoon, she was informed the results showed cancerous cells.

“I asked what the next step would be, but I was sick with fear,” she said.

“My husband and I went to the chapel in the hospital and prayed for help from God. I remember wishing my mom was with me, but I knew when she found out I had breast cancer, the good Lord would listen to her prayers.”

Sister Pat Diggins, a teacher at LoganMagnolia, said the family felt pretty devastated.

“We couldn’t be there physically to support her,” Diggins said. “It was hard on all of us, but especially on mom because she always worries about her kids.”

Diggins said there was also the element of disbelief because there was no history of breast cancer in the family.

“We also worried about the fact that Kathy had to undergo her radiation treatments so far away from their home,” Diggins said.

Australia has a public health care system and a private health care system.

The public system is run by the government and paid by the taxes of the residents. It covers seeing a doctor or specialist, medical tests, prescription medicines and being treated in a public hospital. You won’t pay anything to go to a public hospital, but you might not get to choose which hospital or doctors treat you. You may also have to go on a waiting list for treatment.

The private, or non-government system, is made up of private hospitals, private health insurance companies and other health providers like dentists.

The public healthcare system doesn’t pay for care in the private system. The private system covers treatment in a private hospital, ambulance trips,

dentistry, eyeglasses and treatments like acupuncture.

According to Kane, she could have waited two weeks to see a surgeon specializing in breast cancer in the public system, or could pay to see one privately.

“We chose the private option, as we didn’t want to wait even for two weeks,” she said.

She saw the surgeon two days later and was operated on three days after that.

“The results confirmed I had a grade one, infiltrating ductal carcinoma about one half inch in size,” Kane said. “The sentinel node (the lymph gland under the armpit connected to the area of the tumor) was not cancerous.

The surgeon told us that if I had to have breast cancer, this was the least dangerous.”

According to Kane, her cancer was estrogen-connected and therefore easier to treat with a drug called an aromatase inhibitor.

“I was told I would have to take this drug for five years. The doctor also asked if I would consider losing some weight, as my form of breast cancer could be affected by being overweight.”

Kane then went through six weeks of radiation.

“I went back to using the national health system as my cancer doctor said there was no difference between private and public health systems,” Kane said.

“The treatment was totally free.”

She also had a bone density test, met with a nutritionist, had an appointment with a women’s health doctor about new physical aspects that the cancer drug would present and the chance of accessing counseling if she wished.

“Housing was free, as were my husband’s flights and accommodation when he stayed with me during my treatment,” Kane said.

“I was totally satisfied with all the excellent treatment I received.”

Kane said her follow-up care has been just as thorough. She has nearly reached the half way point in her five-year treatment.

“Each year, my husband and I travel to Perth with free flights and accommodation. I have both a mammogram and an ultrasound, followed by a visit to my cancer surgeon. I also have free telephone access to a cancer nurse to answer any questions or concerns,” she said.

Kane said throughout the ordeal she had her Catholic faith, her loving husband, her mother Margie and all her family and friends behind her.

“I was also very grateful that my brother and sisters who work in the medical field were able to clarify information I was given and allay my fears,” Kane said. “I am also grateful for a country that considers healthcare for all a moral right.”

Kane said she is sure many of the women she got acquainted with during treatment would have fit the 50 million “working poor” of the United States that have not been able to afford health insurance.

“More than one informed me that they were even given gas money if they lived outside the Perth metropolitan area,” she said.

According to Kane, taxes are slightly higher in Australia. According to www.worldwide-tax.com, an individual in the United States pays between 15 to 35 percent in taxes depending on income, and in Australia, it is 17 to 45 percent ,depending on income.

Kane said that from what she has witnessed these past years in Australia, most people she knows do not put off going to the doctor and therefore don’t end up needing acute care because they nip the problem ‘in the bud,’ she said.

“There is a waiting list often for non-critical care, but people just take it in stride,” she said.

According to Kane, now that she has a pre-existing condition, she has probably lost her chance to retire in the United States.

“Insurance would be too high for me,” she said.

I am sad the option is probably not there.”

DAMAGES: Top $3M in county FROM PAGE 1 Economic Director Renea Anderson also feels the estimate is low.

“If the financial impact presented by Harrison County Emergency Management includes 20 individuals or businesses, the actual number would be substantially increased if more businesses had filled out the survey,” Anderson said. “It’s just a small snap shot of the impact on Harrison County. The results of the 2011 summer flood has only begun to be seen in our area.”

Oliver gave high praise to the agricultural levees.

“Had it not been for the levees, the potential for

flooding was there for all of us,” he said. “Had they not exceeded expectations we sure could have been in that situation. It’s still a fragile system.”

The Iowa Farm Bureau recently estimated river flooding caused $207 million in crop and economic losses in southwest Iowa.

In Harrison County alone, the Farm Bureau estimated $36.7 million in crop and other economic losses. According to the Farm Bureau, Fremont County suffered the highest losses, an estimated $52.2 million, followed by Harrison, Monona County at $32.3 million, Pottawattamie with $31.2 million, Mills, $22.2 million and Woodbury, $14.7

million.

“This study shows the repercussions of the lost cropland and economic activity in those counties,” said Dave Miller, IFBF director of research and commodity services. “On a business level, farmers won’t be purchasing machines or inputs such as fertilizer for land. But there also is a household effect with reduced expenditures in those counties.”

Miller said the study measured losses of economic activity from lost crop sales and didn’t factor in losses to personal property or the steep cost of rebuilding roads, levees and other infrastructure damaged or destroyed by the months of flooding.

FIREMEN: Teach fire safety to students FROM PAGE 1 as what to do in the case of a fire at their home. It includes a portable “smoke” machine that fills an area with “smoke” with firemen helping teach the children how to react and how to get out of their homes in the case of a fire.

“We think taking the children through the trailer is important because it promotes fire safety,” said Chief Craig Charbonneau.

Gail Dickinson, a 46year member of the department, was helping at the exercise and is still amazed by what the students learn.

“You know they will remember what they learned going through this trailer,” he said.

Logan Volunteer Fire Department members, Kate Thacker, left, Bob Michael Jr. and Molly Deffenbaugh help children learn how to go out a window in the case of a fire.

Down Home

By Sandy Turner Sandy Turner writes a weekly column “Down Home” which is published in several newspapers in the Midwest. She puts a humorous spin on issues that revolve around families and every day life, drawing from her own experiences.

Weathering the storm without dad During the thunder and lightning show last weekend, I tossed and turned, trying to go to sleep, but it just wasn’t happening. It wasn’t from the storm outside, but the whirlwind going on in my mind.

Whenever there was any indication it was going to storm, dad would plant himself on the picnic table in the backyard to watch the clouds roll in. As a pilot, he could tell you about every kind of cloud and whether or not it was going to produce rain or just float around. We lived down the street from a tornado siren, so there wasn’t ever a question of whether or not it was time to go to the basement, except for dad of course.

Mom and I would huddle up in the basement with the battery-powered radio while dad sat outside. It drove mom crazy, but she knew no matter how insistent she was, he wasn’t coming in.

I lay there listening to the storm, reminiscing and picturing dad, young and healthy, with that stern look on his face he’d always have when something wasn’t right. Then my mind would drift to him now and my pillow would get a little rain of its own.

Dad was a fanatic about being clean, well-dressed and properly groomed, whether he was at home or going somewhere. Even as he aged, dad was, and is, a handsome man.

It seems as though my visits to see dad are getting less frequent and I feel awful that I can’t bring myself to go more often. I justify not going by telling myself he doesn’t know who I am anyway, but then again, I hope, deep down in his memory, he recognizes me, so then I feel guilty for not going.

Even though I know he’s being taken care of, the sadness I feel while I’m there is almost unbearable. Half the time he’s sitting in a chair, head down, sleeping and slobbering, with his hair – which was once neatly groomed with VO5 – sticking up every which way. His fingers are always interlocked as his hands rest on his lap. The once neatly manicured nails have been replaced with fingernails that usually need to be cut.

The front of his shirt and usually his pants have food stains, and a smear of lunch or dinner is still on the side of his mouth. I’ve replaced his favorite tennis shoes with a pair of slippers, since he can no longer tie his own shoes.

Although it sounds as though dad is in need of having more attention, that’s not the case at all. During that last year when I was his caretaker, there were more times than not he looked like a mess, but it seems harder to take when I’m not the one to take the blame.

I finally fell asleep and dreamed of a man who called me by name and chased away my storms.

“It’s a Wonderful Life,” bank and blackmail The Great Depression was a challenge for banks.

When the crashing stock market sent panicky customers to empty their accounts as they did on “It’s a Wonderful Life,” many banks failed because they didn’t have the money to pay their customers. The government declared a bank holiday to save the banking system. People were forbidden to withdraw all of their money and they received waivers letting them take 10 or 15 cents for every dollar under deposit.

Banks were forbidden to make loans or to allow withdrawals unless deposits had been made in the previous few days.

Roy McKinney, owner of the Cleghorn State Bank where my wife’s family lived, knew the waivers were a hardship for his people who had bills to pay and who needed to buy food and other necessities. He agonized for days and tried to think of a solution that would help Cleghorn.

After a few days, McKinney began to mortgage his farms and other assets, and used the money to pay for customer’s full withdrawals. Like the Jimmy Stewart character in “It’s a Wonderful Life,”

McKinney believed the money would circulate through the neighborhood and feed people while saving a few jobs. Eventually, McKinney’s sales and mortgages equaled the total mortgage value of all of the family’s holdings.

This helped the Cleghorn area recover faster than other communities did. The state-banking department argued that there was no legal obligation to personally assume responsibility for the losses the bank had sustained through loans that could not be paid back. Roy and his father struggled to persuade people who could, to repay some of the money they had withdrawn so others could use it. Under the circumstances they probably presented the same arguments Jimmy Stewart’s character made to stop the run on his family savings and loan.

A desperate man tested their ingenuity. He was not a customer nor a Cleghorn resident, and McKinney’s bank was the help of last resort. His wife had died and the mortician refused to take her body and prepare it for a funeral without cash in advance. The bereaved husband could not withdraw

Perley’s Bits & Pieces

money from his hometown bank, so his wife’s body remained at home.

Government rules would not let the McKinney’s loan others money and their private operating capital was almost gone. They realized a herd of cattle from one of their farms had been sold a few days before, and if pressed, they could lend him some of that money.

However, they needed to live too, and looked for an alternative.

McKinney considered a solution. They phoned the mortician and lectured him for nearly 30 minutes.

“These are difficult times, and we all must accommodate the public where necessary and issue credit.” The mortician was unmoved—-no money, no funeral. The McKinney’s next tried blackmail. They stated that if they had to

make a personal loan to bury the man’s wife, they would spread the story of the heartless mortician to as many people who would listen.

They reminded the mortician that their bank let them visit with many people each day. The McKinney’s threatened to put him out of business through malicious gossip.

The mortician thought for a few minutes and decided discretion dictated that he offer the widower credit for the funeral.

The McKinney’s blackmail had worked.

Years passed and the McKinney’s repaid all of the money they had borrowed to keep their bank running. As in the movie, grateful Cleghorn residents agreed Roy McKinney was the richest man in town.

News from the Extension Service

Tree needs and needles The annual flurry of panic about fall evergreens began about 10 days ago and seems to be reaching a peak. The typical call is that my (fill in the blank) conifer trees are dying from the inside out, followed by either, “what should I spray” or “will it spread to the others,” or something like that. To begin with, don’t let this dissuade you from exploring symptoms particularly on evergreens because there are a few fairly species-specific disease and disorders that are serious concerns. But a key lies in sorting the grain from the chaff on what constitutes a serious issue. Extension can help you with that. The following is taken from an article published in October of 1995 written by former plant diagnostician Paula Flynn at Iowa that remains relevant today: This is the time of year evergreen samples are brought to Extension offices and the ISU Plant Disease Clinic showing symptoms of seasonal needle loss. People often mistake this normal

discoloration and loss of needles for an infectious disease problem.

Evergreens do not keep their needles indefinitely.

Older, inner needles senesce (get old), turn yellow or brown, and drop from the tree after one to several years depending on the tree species.

White pine trees are the most dramatically affected.

By November of most years, only one year’s needles may remain attached to the tree.

Austrian and Scots pine usually retain their needles for three years. But each year they too, naturally drop some needles. Spruce and fir needles also yellow and drop with age, but since these trees retain a season’s needles for several years; the needle drop in any single year is often not dramatic. Finally, needles on arborvitae and some cedars usually turn brown rather than yellow with age.

These general patterns of needle drop may vary from tree to tree and year to year.

Adverse conditions in the

Rich Pope Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator summer and fall may lead to more pronounced needle drop in the fall. For any evergreen that seems to be shedding needles more dramatically than in previous memory, consider what previous stresses might be at play, including prolonged dry periods in the summer, protracted dampness, especially in late winter and spring, or even winter storm and hail damage. All these may enhance needle drop and can contribute to predisposing individual trees to disease.

So yes, serious diseases are still a possibility and I will write more about specific evergreen diseases and evergreen species selection in coming weeks. If symptoms of browning were

observed earlier this year, possibly on the older needles on the lower portion of the tree or on this year’s growth throughout the tree, an infectious disease such as Rhizosphaera needle cast (spruces) or Diplodia tip blight (mostly Austrian Pine) or pine wilt (Scot’s pine) may be involved. These and other diseases are described and pictured in Pm-1528 “Common Diseases of Conifers in Iowa.” As mentioned in the bulletin, infectious needle diseases are controlled by applying fungicide sprays in the spring.

For additional information, contact Rich Pope at the Harrison County Extension Office at ropope@iastate.edu or 644-2105.

Letter to the Editor Many choices at the grocery store Dear Editor, As the grocery getter of my family, I am thankful every day to have as many choices at the grocery store as what there are. One in particular is organic and commodity foods. I feel proud to be a farmer and look down the aisles and see the choice.

I do often wonder how many of the other grocery getters are knowledgeable about the choice that they have? Do they know what the difference is between organic and commodity? As a farmer knowing the difference is part of my everyday life, but for my fellow grocery getters who focus the majority of their day not worrying about food production, when do they learn about it? Right now

I’m offering to anyone who wants to learn, feel free to call me up and we can talk.

But since I’m not available 24/7, I am very glad to be a part of the Lo-Ma Ag Science Greenhouse project.

I’m sure many of you have seen articles in the paper or discussed the project at the coffee shop so I won’t go into detail. But in a nutshell, this structure gives our students the

chance to learn about the choice that they will have as the future grocery getters.

Now I can’t speak to exactly what the curriculum will be, but it is an open door to begin the process of bringing the next generation back into contact with food production.

Thanks again to all the farmers out there for giving me the choice.

Sincerely, Tamara Heim, Logan

Do Men and Women Invest Differently?

Several years ago, a book titled Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus was quite popular. As the title suggests, the book argues that men and women are vastly different from each other, particularly in their emotional needs and in the way they communicate. While not everyone agrees with the notion that men and women might as well be from different planets, most of us would probably concur that the two genders frequently behave differently — and this divergence in behavior may also show up in the way that we invest.

In fact, various studies and anecdotal evidence suggests these differences in the way that men and women invest: Men tend to trade more often than women. Men seem to buy and sell investments more frequently than women. This difference could result in an advantage for women investors. For one thing, if women do trade less, they may incur fewer commission charges, fees and other expenses, all of which can eat into investment returns. Also, by hold-

ing investments longer, women may be able to take better advantage of market rallies. During the 2008-2009 financial crisis, for example, men were more likely than women to sell shares of stock at market lows, which led to bigger losses among male traders — and fewer gains when some of the stock values began to rise again — according to a study by Vanguard, a mutual fund company.

Men tend to invest more aggressively than women. P petitive environment and other factors. This quest for additional knowledge may help explain why all-female investment clubs have achieved greater returns than all-male clubs, according to a study by the National Association of Investors Corp., which represents thousands of investment clubs across the country.

Men may be more optimistic about the financial markets. Some studies show that men are more optimistic about key economic indicators and future stock market performance.

Optimism can be a valuable

asset when it comes to investing; if you have confidence in the future, you’re more likely to invest for it, and to continue investing.

On the other hand, false optimism may lead to overconfidence, which can have negative results for investors.

Neither men nor women have a monopoly on positive investment behaviors; each gender can probably learn something from the other. Ultimately, of course, it’s your decision-making, not your x- or y-chromosomes, that will determine your ability to make progress toward your longterm goals. So educate yourself about your choices, and get the help you need from a financial professional, as you invest through the years.

‘Dare to Excel’ newsletter aids parents

About 15 children and adults gathered for a Nature Tots program about spiders at the Willow Lake Recreation Area near Woodbine. Participants learned about spiders found in Iowa, how they make webs and what they eat. Pictured is Ben Barrineau of Logan with his spider web craft.

When weekends, school breaks and summer are added together, children spent many hours outside of school walls. How this time is spent affects their growth and development, as well as their success at school.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach offers a monthly newsletter during the school year – September to May – to help parents help their children become better learners.

“Our ‘Dare to Excel’ newsletter shares information about what parents

can do at home or in the community that will help children succeed at school,” said Sandra McKinnon, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Family Life Program Specialist, serving Harrison, Audubon, Carroll, Crawford, Fremont, Greene, Guthrie, Mills, Montgomery, Page, East Pottawattamie, West Pottawattamie and Shelby counties.

McKinnon said each newsletter will consistently feature proven parenting practices that research

has shown help children become better learners.

“You’ll get practical suggestions on topics such as the importance of routines, good nutrition, developing life skills and a lot more,” McKinnon said.

The October newsletter offers tips on setting routines at home, including routines for meal time and

bed time.

“Routines help children feel safe and secure, and also help build their independence,” McKinnon said.

The newsletter is available as a free download from the Harrison County Extension website at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/harrison.

Healthy Hike Oct. 13 at Farmer’s Market On Oct. 13, the Welcome Center Farmer’s Market will sponsor a “Healthy Hike” on the newly completed trail at the Welcome Center.

Participants may walk the trail at their leisure anytime during the market. Guided hikes will also be given at 4 and 5 p.m. A free apple will also be given to each hiker compliments of Hodge Greenhouse, Logan.

Additionally, Harrison County Home Health will offer free blood pressure checks to everyone, hikers or

Persia native creates University artwork With gaff tape, Mountain Dew cans and some string, five Huntington University students, including Laura Hood of Persia, created art on campus. It’s not anything expected to last long, but that was not the point of the class assignment. The point was the transformation of that art over time.

Students in the theater department’s Fundamentals of Design class created pieces that are currently situated in trees and on steps around campus – at least for now, barring no new weather pattern or outside tampering.

Hood’s piece is titled, “Family Tree Bonds.” Her piece is red twine interlaced around a tree. It is near the Richlyn Library.

“I learned a lot,” Hood said. “I got to know the tree really well and appreciate the tree.”

Hood is a senior film studies major. The next step in the process is to document the decay of each piece, whether destroyed by rain or dropped from a tree through the course of nature, and then reflect on its meaning.

Laura Hood, Persia, a senior film studies major at Huntington University, Huntington, Ind., stands by her tree artwork, “Family Tree Bonds,” near the Richlyn Library on campus.

First Iowa illness CHAMBER SALUTE Republicans from listeria to meet outbreak reported Oct. 20 The Iowa Department of Public Health has reported the state’s first illness linked to the multistate outbreak of listeriosis associated with cantaloupes from Jensen Farms, Colorado. An adult (18 to 40 years of age) Northwest Iowa female has recovered from the infection. The woman was pregnant at the time she became ill and subsequently suffered a miscarriage. No other illnesses associated with the outbreak have been reported to date in Iowa. The woman had eaten cantaloupe purchased at an Iowa store.

“While Jensen Farms has issued a voluntary recall of its Rocky Ford-brand cantaloupes, and the recalled items should be off store shelves, more illness may be reported because it can take up to two months for a person to develop listeriosis after eating contaminated food,” said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk.

Listeriosis is a bacterial infection.

Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, nausea and diarrhea.

Healthy adults and children occasionally get infected with Listeria, but rarely become seriously ill.

Pregnant women, however, are about 20 times more likely than other healthy adults to get listeriosis.

Older adults, newborns and adults with weakened immune systems are also in a high-risk group. If you develop fever and chills while pregnant or if you are very sick with fever and muscle aches or stiff neck,

consult your health care provider immediately.

The most important way to avoid listeriosis and other food borne illnesses associated with fruits and vegetables is to make sure you thoroughly wash them, even if the item has a skin or rind. Any bacteria on the outside of the fruit or vegetable can be pulled to the inside when the knife slices through. For melon safety in particular, follow these steps: •Individuals and food preparers should wash their hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling any whole melon, such as cantaloupe, watermelon or honeydew.

•Scrub the surface of melons, such as cantaloupes, with a clean produce brush or dish cloth and dry them with a clean cloth or paper towel before cutting.

•Cut melon should be promptly eaten or refrigerated at or less than 40 degrees for no more than seven days.

•Cut melons left at room temperature for more than four hours should be thrown away.

According to the CDC, Iowa becomes the 20th state to report an illness associated with the outbreak. For more information about the multistate outbreak of listeriosis associated with cantaloupe, visit www.edu.gov/listeria/outbreaks/cantaloupesj e n s e n farms/09311#advice-consumers.

Several interested parties met to discuss drainage.

Rand Petersen and Seig Drainage District Trustees of the Rand Petersen and Seig Drainage District met to discuss the area south of the Seig pump. This area from south of the pump to the Rand Petersen levy is not in any drainage district and has been a problem area in the past.

Several suggestions were made such as annexing the land into either the Rand Petersen or Seig Drainage District, a pump placed at the river, a new district being formed, as well as extension of the current Seig ditch to the Rand Levy with the dikes being raised to new elevations. No one was in complete agreement of any of the suggestions. The Board asked the drainage clerk to get an approximate quote from Rick Shearer of what the cost to extend the Seig ditch would be. No action was taken.

Utman and Seig Drainage District Discussion was held regarding the petition requesting the board to repair the Utman dike. There were several comments made such as: 1. By replacing the Utman dike, it just becomes a holding area for the Seig Drainage District.

2. The dike has been gone for 45 or more years there has to be a better solution than replacing the dike.

3. It would be more cost effective to continue the Seig ditch through the area south of the pump than to replace the Utman dike.

The Board stated that they understood everyone’s concerns and would not be making any decisions until the engineer’s report is filed.

School Election Results The results of the school elections held on Tuesday, September 13 were canvassed. Abstracts and certificates were signed.

Obituary family moved to Logan when Sandy was 7. She attended Redinbaugh Elementary School, Beebeetown School, Logan High School and Jennie Edmundson School of Nursing. Sandy was married to the late Carl Reuben Wright which resulted in the birth of four children, Carl Jr., Michelle Rene, Suzette Ilene and Barbara Kaye. Sandra later married Charles Sims resulting in a total family number of 20 kids. She was a dedicated registered nurse who worked for more than 10 years as the head nurse of the fifth floor at the Veterans Administration Hospital prior to an automobile accident that left her in a irreversible vegetative state as a young mother.

She was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt.

Lo-Ma Panthers edge out Underwood Eagles 42-14 Oct. 7 Nancy Voggesser For the Herald-Observer The Oct. 7 game with Underwood got off to a rocky start for the LoganMagnolia Panthers. After Caden McDonald and Dominic Snyder ran two good gains, Paul Hutson got the next carry and fumbled.

With a fairly short field of play to cover, Underwood took the reins on offense. The Eagles earned a first down after two carries brought down

by Grant Whisney, Quin Mann and Eric Brosnahan.

The Eagles kept moving and the defensive linemen got into the tackling game.

Then the Panthers gave the Eagles 15-yards on penalty and another 15-yards with a pass interference call.

Although the Eagles were within scoring territory, the Panther defense tightened up and forced Underwood to punt. The Panthers blocked the punt and covered it in the end zone for a touchback and another chance to redeem themselves.

And they do so quickly.

With 7:25 left in the first quarter, Caden McDonald took off on what would end up an 80-yard touchdown run. Nate Fender’s point after attempt was good and the momentum shifted back to the Panthers.

With tackles by Chris Bridgeford and Brennan Azinger, and a sack by Gannon Cunard, Underwood was forced to punt on its next possession, giving the Panthers another drive in which to score before the end of the first quarter.

The possession got off to an early positive with the first 40-yards covered by Hutson on two carries.

Fender, Snyder and McDonald added their own carries to the series, and with 1:58 left in the quarter, McDonald scored again on a one-yard carry. Fender’s kick was good to put the score at 14-0 Lo-Ma. Underwood’s next possession went the same way

the previous one did – two short gains stopped by Bridgeford, Sndyer and Hutson – and an incomplete pass, gave the Panthers another drive to work with.

The Panthers began the next drive on their own 44yard line. The Panthers kept on the ground for short gains leading up to a fourth down and five.

Where many teams would punt on that type of yardage, coach Matt Straight put his faith in Hutson who powered to a first down. With 10:21 left in the second quarter, Fender shocked the crowd with a perfect spiral to Mann who was open on a crossing route. The 31-yard touchdown pass and resulting extra point put the Panthers up 21-0.

The Eagles’ next possession gained them a little more time, but coverage by Bridgeford, McDonald, Brian Zephier and Nick Knudsen kept them honest.

A tremendous hit by Eric Brosnahan netted the Eagles a negative five yards followed by a Bridgeford tackle for loss and an incomplete pass covered by Knudsen.

The Panthers got the ball back, but contrary to the usual, were forced to punt after three short carries.

Underwood took advantage and orchestrated a scoring drive. Despite the defensive efforts of Snyder, Melby, Mann, Hutson, McDonald and Cunard, with 2:09 left in the half, Austin Asbra broke free for a 63-yard touchdown run.

Brady Johnson’s point after attempt was good, which put the score at 21-7.

Grant Whisney brought the kickoff to the 37-yard line and Hutson got a good run off, but a miscue by Fender to Zack Powley, resulted in an interception by Preston Jager.

Underwood’s following drive, gave them too little time to get back into the end zone, and close play by the Lo-Ma secondary kept the Hail Mary passes to reception-less.

The momentum after

Brennan Azinger and Grant Whisney bring down the Underwood ball carrier in the game Oct. 7 in Logan.

Photo: Angela Winther the second half seemed to follow the Eagles who were able to get off some first down efforts despite the tackling prowess of McDonald, Bridgeford, Jordan Muxfeldt, Powley and Logan Melby. Finally, the Eagles had to punt. A 24-yard return by Quin Mann brought the ball to the 39-yard line.

With 6:36 left in the third quarter, the Panthers proved that good things happen when you give the ball to McDonald. He sprinted for the end zone on a 61-yard touchdown carry. Fender’s kick as good to make the score 287.

Underwood came back on offense, but was plagued with miscues including a holding call, illegal substitution and a bobbled snap.

The Panthers quickly gave the ball back to Underwood, however, when a fumble was recovered by the Eagles. The Eagles took advantage and with three minutes left in the third quarter, Asbra took the ball 93-yards in for the score. Johnson’s extra point was good, to

Paul Hutson powers past the Underwood defense to score again late in the fourth quarter making the final score 42-14.

Photo: Angela Winther make the score 28-14.

The next 54-yards of offense for the Panthers was covered by three carries by McDonald, who went well past 200 yards of rushing on the night.

With 45 seconds left in the quarter, Hutson took the ball the last 10-yards into the end zone followed by

another true Fender extra point.

Underwood’s following drive took a lot of time off the clock, and covered a lot of ground, but Cunard, Mann, Hutson, McDonald, Whisney, Azinger, Cole Davis, Zephier and Powley finally go the ball back for the Panthers.

Lo-Ma’s final drive of the game took a lot more time off the clock and resulted in two 15-yard plus carries by Hutson, a 30-yard and a six-yard by Mann, and ended with a one-yard touchdown by Hutson. Fender’s kick was good to end scoring at 4214, Panthers.
