Mary Darling Editor Each year the Harrison County Museum/ Welcome Center sponsors half-day student programs for school groups from Iowa and Nebraska.

The groups choose four of eight programs to participate in to give them an idea of what pioneer life was like. These included:

• Farming and early pioneer life – the students learned about early day farming and had the chance to grind corn. They also learned about other aspects of early pioneer life.

• Log cabin/butter churning – students visited an original log cabin and learn about butter churning, butter molds and get to taste homemade butter.

• Rope making – learn the importance of rope to early settlers and each group was able to make a rope for their class to take to their classroom.

• Schoolhouse – students visit a one-room school house with the program led by a retired oneroom schoolteacher who shared her experience.

Prior to that he taught at Tri-Center and Glenwood.

• Rob Hingstrum, high school science. Hingstrum received his Bachelors of Science in Biology from Iowa State University in May, 2010 and will receive a Masters of Arts in Teaching in August 2011.

• Faith Riessen, high school physical education and junior high girls basketball. Riessen graduated from Buena Vista University in May of 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in exercise science with a coaching endorsement.

• Jessica Tentinger, high school math. Tentinger graduated from Drake University in May with a Bachelor of Science degree in education with a mathematics endorsement and coaching endorsement.

FLIEHE: Chamber citizenship award NEW OWNERS: Logan Fitness FROM PAGE 1 age 7 and Garrett age 3.

Fliehe said he likes the small community of Logan.

“The people are friendly and will pitch in and do things when they need done,” Fliehe said. “Logan is close to Omaha if you want to go, but you don’t have to.”

By raising his family in Logan, Fliehe said they have gained the opportunity to do more things.

“The larger the school, the less things the kids can participate in,” he said.

“You can still go to Omaha or Council Bluffs and be in sports clubs and teams. But it’s nice at the smaller school the teachers know you.”

According to Fliehe, it’s nice to go to music and athletic events and see people know you.

“I think in a big city you kind of get lost in the shuffle. The community supports you by coming to watch the kids,” Fliehe said. “Also, when something happens like the tornado, people just rally

around and help their neighbors out.”

He considers his family his greatest accomplishment.

“Raising a family and having the kids grow up and be good citizens and have good moral values is an achievement,” Fliehe said.

As far as why he thinks it is important to be involved and give back to the community, Fliehe said it helps people take pride in their town.

“Being activities director, I needed to get people to volunteer to make the events work successfully and I owe a lot of people favors,” he said. “They’ve done a lot to keep the activities successful and I thank all the people who have volunteered over the years.”

According to Fliehe, some of the people don’t even have to be asked anymore they just show up.

“Gale Muxfeldt and Alvin Dinkel have been helping forever. I bet Gale is going on close to 50

years,” he said.

According to Fliehe, it’s contagious when people get involved.

“When I walk and pick up trash in town and someone is walking with me, they will stop and pick up trash and probably wouldn’t have thought of it before,” he said.

Fliehe said he always liked to give the Key Club members the opportunity to volunteer.

“We really talked a lot about it. Ringing the bells at Christmas, helping with the Easter egg hunt or volunteering at the nursing home. I told them they just needed to find something to do to help other people out.”

According to Fliehe, the words he lives by are, “work hard.”

“I always tell the kids to work hard and do the best they can,” he said.

Fliehe said he felt there were many more people more deserving than he to receive the award, but was very honored by the recognition.

PEAK INTO PAST: School groups FROM PAGE 1 • Soap making/laundry – students had the opportunity to experience washing and drying clothes the pioneer way and learned how soap was made.

• Spinning/weaving and dying wool – students learned how pioneers made their clothing and how wool can be dyed using berries, plants, etc.

• Trapping – the students gained an understanding about the North American fur trade and why trapping was important to early settlers. They also learned about the tools and equipment used by trappers to

capture animals.

This year 1,103 students, teachers and parents participated in the program from 21 different schools. The 34 volunteers gave 488 hours of their time during the eight days the programs were held which doesn’t count the hours they spent in preparation.

According to coordinator Kathy Dirks, the program would not be possible if it not for the volunteers.

“This is a tremendous commitment by our volunteers to share their time and expertise with the students,” Dirks said. “It is because of their hard work and ability to put the welfare and inter-

est of the students first that this program is such a success.”

Volunteers this year included: Rita Bean, Ron and Sharon Greenwood, Ruth Heim, Dorothy Hildreth, Steve and Gayle Holmgren, Paulette Jones, Jack McMillen, Kathleen Mattingly, Jim and Mary Lou Noneman, Jo Lyman, Bob Busson, Fred and Jo Cooper, Lois Albers, Shirley Plambeck, Arlene Youmans, Carol Watson, Rozella Baker, Don Brooks, Irene Churchill, Audrey Cohrs, Sondra Dickinson, Barb Guyett, Juanita Johnsen, Dwight and Marian Mills, Hattie Moores, Mary Poe, Janet Wilderdyke.

FROM PAGE 1 decided to start exercising here and got well acquainted with Eddie. When she became ill we said we would watch the business while she was in the hospital. Tragically, she never came back.”

Guge said her sons Tim and David asked if they would be interested in purchasing the business.

“We think it serves a real purpose in Logan,” Guge said. “A number of people use it and most would not be willing to drive to another location to be members of another facility.”

“We are glad we are able to keep the business open in Logan,” Wilderdyke said.

“It meant a lot to Eddie and her friends.”

They credit Eddie with being a real entrepreneur by identifying the need and getting the equipment.

“We wanted to continue her idea,” Guge said. “The need was here and we hated to see it close up.”

Machines available include three treadmills, two recumbent bikes, an elliptical trainer and several weight machines.

Future plans include holding training sessions by the vendors of the machines on how to use the equipment to get the best results and health food classes from local businesses.

Official hours for the business are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

six days a week and closed on Sundays.

“But after hour times can be worked out,” Wilderdyke said.

They offer yearly rates, six-month rates and threemonth rates with rates for seniors offered within those time periods.

Guge suggests anyone who wants to start exercising for the first time, first check with their doctor to see if they have any limitations. They also invite people interested in joining to come and see what the facility offers.

The business can be reached at 644-2397 or you can reach Guge at 712-2160200 or Wilderdyke at 712592-0966.

HAIL REPAIRS

COUNCIL: Water/sewer ordinances FROM PAGE 1 property. According to Smith, the new gun law allows more latitude.

“I just think it’s something we need to do,” he said. He presented a resolution sample to the council that Harrison County recently passed.

Paula Mausbauch met with the council to ask if there were any ordinances

or permits required to place a vending trailer in the city limits. It would be a mobile unit that food would be served from.

City administrator, Angela Winther, will check into requirements.

Prior to the regular council meeting, the council approved a resolution amending the 2010-2011 city budget.

Building permits were

approved for: Gary Barrineau, 123 N. Maple Ave., fence; Joe Pinkerton, 215 N. Third Ave., extend porch to end of house; Monte Hatcher, 210 S. Fifth Ave., bathroom remodel and concrete patio.

A Class C beer permit, Sunday sales and Class B native wine permit was approved for Logan Country Store.

The sounds of hammers and air guns have been filling the air in the Logan area since the first hail storm hit in March. Another round of hail May 21 resulted in additional damages to residents’ property. The Museum of Religious Arts was not immune and also sustained damage from the storms. Pictured is a crew that recently replaced the air conditioning units damaged in the March hail storm.

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.

Coming home to confetti and mixed drinks I remember thinking how ridiculous my parents sounded when they attempted to call me by name. They could go down the line of my siblings’ names and sometimes even the dog, until they eventually got it right. It doesn’t really seem that funny anymore.

Maybe I’ve had too much sun or maybe I’m getting too close to the big 5-0, but recently I’ve begun to question myself. Not so much about my sanity but more inquiries of “what the heck are you thinking?”

There’s nothing like coming home after vacation to see 10 acres of grass that need mowing.

Don’t get me wrong, I was so excited and was ready to spend the day on the tractor. As Murphy’s Law would have it, the front tire was flat. My boyfriend put fix-a-flat in it but the tire rebelled and spit it all back out. When we finally got the tractor moving the belt on the blade broke so I was destined to mow with the faster-than-the-speedof-light zero turn, which is scary for all of us.

With the grass in desperate need of a mow and the tractor needing repairs, the only thing my boyfriend could say when I sat down on his mower was “be careful.” Careful is my middle name, accident-prone is my first.

I don’t subscribe to the “other” newspaper in town but on Sunday mornings the paper that is too full and too big to find anything in, lies in the driveway until one of us picks it up for recycling. You can never imagine how much confetti a paper of that size can make when you mow over it.

Before I knew what was happening, tiny (and large) pieces of the newspaper were blowing all over the 10 acres. When I ran to get a trash bag, and the boyfriend came out from under the tractor to see what the ruckus was all about – he seemed like he was in a trance as he watched the hundreds of pieces of paper float down to the ground.

Eventually everything settled down and I offered to make some deli sandwiches as a peace offering. He kept commenting that the turkey seemed chewy but I was too busy eyeing pieces of paper that had escaped my earlier pickup. Suddenly he pulled half a slice of paper out of his mouth. Who knew the slices of pepper jack cheese had paper stuck to the back of them? Trying to make amends and help him wash down the paper he just ate, I refilled his glass with tea. The only problem was that his half empty glass contained root beer.

Maybe he’s just gotten so used to my ways that it doesn’t faze him anymore or maybe he’s gone over the deep end with me.

Before I could offer to fix his ice-cold drink to either root beer or tea and not a mix of both, he had already downed it.

“Cheers,” he said, as a piece of paper floated by.

Just Like a Dream They came by the hundreds and then thousands as Mormons migrated west to Utah. Omaha-Council Bluffs was their rest stop before they took the final leap across plains and mountains. To people, many of who had never been more than a few hundred miles from home, the prospect of traveling through alien territory of deserts and mountains must have been like a dream. They could only imagine what it would be like, but fervor and desperation drove them forward.

There was a method to their migration. While most of the travelers stayed put, others explored the river valley north and south of their winter quarters. Harrison County was open and except for Indians who traveled through, mostly empty.

The migration was disorganized as isolated families moved north to establish farms. They told others who also came. Most of the families were itinerants with no desire to put down deep roots. Their function was to prepare the way for others who followed. The families worked quickly to

establish farms and storage facilities, and they planted what they knew would grow. They used as little as possible and stored the bulk of their harvests because their largess was not for them to use.

After a year or so, the families knew they would leave the grain, tools, homes and what else they had built for the next wave of migrants. Thus, their communities were as ephemeral as ghosts on the prairie. The insubstantial settlements disappeared with little trace as soon as they had outlived their usefulness. One such community was Bigler’s Grove.

It was not a town as is generally accepted. It was never incorporated or platted, and it was at least five miles from the cemetery that took its name. It did attract enough people for a post office from 1867 to 1869 and was located in Section 18 of Magnolia Township.

Why one might ask was the town so far away from the cemetery? Perhaps the loosely organized community considered all of the farms between the cemetery and the post office to

Perley’s Bits & Pieces

By Jim Perley Logan Herald-Observer Columnist jperley@iowatelecom.net be part of Bigler’s Grove.

This much is known.

Charles Smith and his father, William, moved to Boyer Township in 1849 or 1850, but they may or may not have considered themselves part of what became Bigler’s Grove. Others came during the 1850’s and unlike the majority, some stayed and replaced their log cabins with brick and frame houses.

So many mostly permanent residents became RLDS church members the church established a branch in March of 1863.

Even so, it is difficult to know from this date who were Mormons and who belonged to the RLDS Church because so many residents were transients.

They worked hard, and enjoyed their families. Like other families of the time,

they likely visited with neighbors and attended church. They gathered in each other’s homes to visit, play games or to sing together. One can imagine Bigler’s grove families enjoying summer picnics as indulgent adults watched their children play. One can imagine the adults swapping stories about their past lives and the harrowing journey that took them so far from where they were raised.

All things end, and in time the little community was lost with little left but a name and a cemetery to remind later generations it had once lived. Perhaps the families who enjoyed their time in Bigler’s grove would have sung the words to The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven…Just Like a Dream.”

News from the Extension Service

Of Aspic and Things Throughout my childhood, one of the signature memories of the spring was when my mother graced us with a special dish called rhubarb aspic. This bygone of an era before commercial Jello desserts was somehow heartier and just special.

Well, that was my take on it at least. I do know it was special in part because it was limited to the rhubarb season and also I strongly recall that it was a decided “pain” to prepare for some reason. But it was incredible stuff. Unfortunately, the recipe is gone, so if anyone reading this has a rhubarb aspic recipe, please let me know. By the way, an aspic is a food that involves gelatin. Meat aspics contained chunks of meat or even eggs, and because cooking sterilized them and then the encasing gelatin kept air and organisms away, it would extend the storage time for the prepared aspic.

I would not do that with what we know and how we handle food today, but I do find it an interesting bit of history.

Rhubarb is one of those foods you either like or you don’t. Count me in as an immense rhubarbophile – I

love the stuff! And now is harvest season. Only harvest established plants. The rhubarb plant is a well adapted perennial that can stay productive for five to 10 years without division. Only the leaf stems, the petioles, are used in food preparation.

Rhubarb is actually a noninvasive member of the smartweed family and like some other family members produce oxalic acid that is concentrated in the leaf blades. Therefore, remove all the dark green leaf blade tissue before preparation.

Healthy, mature plants will flower about now, sending up a stalk or two from the center of the plant. If you let it go, there is no harm other than sapping energy from the rest of the plant. I would cut the developing flower stalks as soon as they start to elongate. Though I have never tried it, the round, unopened pouch of flowers was one of the first edible products that people planted rhubarb. In some northern Asian cultures, it is still cooked as a delicacy.

The best leaf stems are harvested the week or so that they reach full size; delay allows them to develop coarse fibers that detract

Rich Pope Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator

from the quality of the rhubarb. Because of that and also to allow the plant’s leaves to produce carbohydrates, stop harvest of mature plants by about the first of July (depending on the year). Second-year plants should have only a limited harvest season, maybe only two to three weeks.

If you are a rhubarb fan, the best time to divide plants to increase or share is in the spring. It can still be done, but remember those new plants can only be lightly harvested next year.

Rhubarb prefers good sun and can benefit from occasional weeding. Also, light application of a garden fertilizer will encourage better leafing and better harvest.

You may freeze rhubarb by chopping it into one-half

inch pieces and spreading them on a sheet pan that is then placed in the freezer.

Once frozen, slide the rhubarb into heavy-duty plastic freezer bags. Seal tightly and put back into the freezer. Packed this way, rhubarb will keep for up to six months and can be measured from the freezer bag.

Nutritionally, rhubarb on its own is low in calories and is quite acidic. Because most uses require added sugar, the low calorie feature is lost in prepared rhubarb products.

Rhubarb is a great companion for many fruits, most notably strawberries.

Woodbine banker sentenced to 18 months in prison Mike Brownlee World-Herald News Service A former Woodbine banker will be imprisoned for 18 months for committing a multi-million dollar bank fraud.

Kenneth Waite was sentenced last week by John Jarvey, U.S. District Court judge for the Southern District of Iowa. Waite was convicted of using a false loan application to obtain a $2.3 million line of credit for distressed customers.

“Those who place their funds on deposit with federally insured financial institutions expect bank officers to safeguard their money, not steal it or gamble with it,” U.S. Attorney Nicholas Klinfeldt said in a press

release. “Mr. Waite’s sentence should serve as a warning that the federal criminal justice system will not tolerate bank officials who violate the trust of customers and the bank system.”

The charge carried a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison, a $1 million fine or both.

Waite had faced a 50count indictment involving a series of bank transactions from October 2004 through November 2005 while at Commercial Federal Bank in Woodbine. (The bank was later purchased by Bank of the West.) During his trial in February, Waite struck a deal with prosecutors, pleading guilty to one count.

In that one count, Waite

acknowledged knowingly making false statements to the executive loan committee of his bank by submitting a false loan application to renew and increase the revolving line of credit of local cattle feeders Ed and Ryan Sullivan from $7 million to $9.25 million.

Waite had stated the Sullivans needed the extra credit because of increasing capacity on the Sullivan cattle operation, when, in fact, the extra money was needed to cover $1.8 million in loan debt owned to other customer accounts from which Waite had transferred money for the Sullivans, according to the indictment.

None of the customers knew of Waite’s actions, the release said. During the trial, Waite’s attorney, Joseph

Hrvol of Council Bluffs, described the bank customers whose funds were used as Waite’s family and friends. Hrvol had contended those customers had agreed to help Sullivan, then denied giving authorization.

Hrvol declined to comment Tuesday on the sentence, noting the amount of restitution Waite might be ordered to pay his former employer remains undetermined. “It’s not appropriate to comment with pending litigation,” he said.

Another civil suit, brought by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. against Waite, was settled when the former banker agreed to never again work as a banker and pay a $40,000 fine.

Partner organizations supporting RefugeFest include Friends of Boyer Chute and DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge, Bass Pro Shops and

Tracker Boats, Pottawattamie County Conservation Board, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.

Agenda item 7 was to discuss 2011-2012 employee wage increases. The city clerk confirmed the raises for 2009 were 2% and in 2010 they were 3%. This item was tabled until the next meeting so all council members could vote on it.

Agenda item 8 was the second reading of Ordinance #438, amending Chapter 92, Water Rates. The minimum charge for the first 1,000 gallons per month will be $19.08 and $4.71 for each 1,000 gallons thereafter.

Agenda item 11 was further discussion with Steve Johnson to vacate the alley behind his business. Steve Johnson was not present at the meeting. The council discussed leasing the portion of the alley behind his business to him on a year to year basis. The clerk will check with the city’s insurance carrier to see if there are any restrictions on leasing city property.

Citizens questions and comments. Paula Mausbach inquired about the city’s policy on parking a vending trailer on the street to sell food. The council discussed what the D.O.T. might allow on Highway 30. The City Clerk will check to make sure there are no ordinances to prohibit this and Chief Smith will also look into it.

Chamber update: Hartwig said that progress is being made on the city’s website. It is possible that it will launch in about a week. The food stand for the Fourth of July celebration was discussed. The Chamber prefers to have a nonprofit organization run it. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Reach for the Stars.” Gordon Fliehe will be the Grand Marshall for the parade.
