New Alegent Clinic to open doors April 4 Open House slated for April 8 NIKKI DAVIS Editor A short six months after construction began on Sept. 20, 2010, the Woodbine Alegent Health Clinic will open their brand new doors to the public beginning April 4. The way the

new building came to pass was almost uncanny, almost proving everything happens for a reason.

“I was sitting beside Bob Valentine, Alegent’s administrator, at the Main Street-Chamber meeting two years ago and he had said the

existing clinic was too small and due to HIPPA requirements, there was concern due to the walls being too thin and conversations being overheard,” Woodbine Betterment’s Todd Heistand said.

“Woodbine Betterment and Darin Smith took it

from there.”

“We were in need of upgrading and remodeling in the old facility.

They had no break room, no place to hang coats and we use the closets for records storage – it was a very compact office since it was originally built for a sin-

gle physician, not an actual clinic,” Alegent Health Administrator Bob Valentine said. “We were already looking at options when Todd Heistand from the Betterment approached me about some loans they were pursuing through USDA and they

were looking for a ‘spotlight’ project, for lack of a better word. That’s how it all got started. It was at the Main StreetChamber Dinner and Update.”

So with cooperation from Alegent’s new neighbors, Farmers See ALEGENT Page 6

It was in May of 2007 that Sapp Brothers retail department employee Mark Christensen was desperately trying to sell the abandoned gas station sitting on U.S. Highway 30 beside the Dollar General. The gas station was only good for one thing – an eyesore right on the outer limits of Woodbine.

Safe Routes to School and the Iowa Bicycle Coalition want to keep students safe – and fit.

That’s why they’re coming to Woodbine for a community and school workshop from 5:30-8:30 p.m.

April 6 in the school library.

“Today the youth are not getting enough physical exercise. The results are increased asthma, type 2 diabetes – and this will be the first generation to have a shorter life span than their parents,” Safe Routes to School, Iowa Bicycle Coalition Program Director Jayne McGuire said. “Walking and bicycling to and from school is one way to get the 60 minutes of exercise youth need each and every day.”

McGuire will combine her passion with Iowa Bicycle Coalition Executive Director Mark Wyatt, to show communities how to use the “Five E’s:” education, encouragement, enforcement, engineering and evaluation to help youth and families get the exercise they need.

In order to prepare for the event, student travel information was collected via polls teachers distributed to their kindergarten through eighth grade classes. Parent surveys were also attached to parent/teacher conference assignments and the data was sent to Safe Routes to School and the Iowa Bicycle Coalition.

Then the date, April 6, time, 5:30-8:30 p.m. and See SAFETY Page 6

In January Mary Lou Smith, Dunlap, received a letter that broke her heart.

The letter stated the late Father Paul Strittmatter’s beloved St. Francis Mission on the Rosebud Reservation in Mission, S.D. was in jeopardy of not opening this upcoming fall due to lack of funds. Father Paul had spent 13 years on the Lakota (Sioux) reservation prior to serving Harrison County beginning 1998. Smith, baptized and attending St. Patrick’s Parish her entire life, couldn’t stand the thought of the demise of the people of whom Father Father Paul Strittmatter at the comPaul always spoke of in the highest See FATHER Page 6 munion of Angela Doyel.

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

Editorial New books at the Youth Library

F CHAMBER CONNECTION WOODBINE MAIN STREET-CHAMBER

Swapping builds community partnership For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people’s love and concern for each other.” Millard Fuller It’s a trade off. Community partnerships - when people work together, they “walk in another’s shoes” as the old saying goes. Those experiences cement networks: insight, appreciation, mutual goals, these, too, factor into the whole “community partnerships” ideal.

I see evidence each day of community members reaching out to one another…at school, at church, on Main Street. I look through my school office window and witness wonderful episodes of community mentoring…Woodbine TeamMates who take off their regular “hats” just once a week and don mentoring “hats”: plumbers, farmers, computer programmers, moms, bankers, grandparents, editors, managers, retired teachers, all become a friend to a Woodbine student and, together, develop a wonderful community partnership.

Thursday night, March 31, 6:30 in the school commons, several community members will be volunteering their time as guest readers and storytellers at the “Go Bananas for Books” Family Reading Night.

There will be volunteer firefighters, health professionals, a police chief and business owners reading books, answering questions and entertaining students and their families. The special evening is funded by a grant from Community Partnership for Protecting Children. WCS staff is planning and hosting the evening (and, incidentally, volunteering their own time that night).

The family night will end with a “book swap.”

Students can bring a gently used or new book they really, really like from home and swap it out for someone else’s favorite.

Kinda the same theory as the whole community partnership and network building ideal…huh?

Sharing by action and deed what we, as a community, hold to be most important is basically just swapping our own experiences and energies with others as we build a whole and healthy community!

YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP ON..................

One step won’t take you very far, you’ve got to keep walking, One word won’t tell them who you are, you’ve got to keep talking; An inch won’t make you very tall, you’ve got to keep on growing; One ad won’t do it all, you’ve got to keep them going.

A constant drop of water wears away the hardest stone; By constant gnawing, Bowser masticates the toughest bone.

The constant cooing lover carries off the blushing maid; And the constant advertiser is the one who gets the trade.

Natural pruning

O

n March 22 at around 5:05 p.m., I joined many others in Harrison County watching one of those wonders of nature.

I figure since you can’t do anything about it, you might as well appreciate what you can out of it. What is pretty amazing to me is that in about 10 minutes, we watched literally millions of dollars of damage happening all around us. I was told last night to look at the good side of things; now when I can bring eggs home from the grocery store by just placing them on the hood of my car, where they will find their own dimple for a carrier!

Although the immediate concern is replacement of windows, siding, roofs, car windows, etc., a secondary issue for some is damage to trees and shrubs. Golf ball to tennis ball sized hail can do a considerable amount of natural pruning. I think it is important to know that what saves the bacon of most landscape plants is that they are designed to respond pretty well to small injuries. Small branches that were broken but haven’t been shorn completely off will become apparent in a few weeks as the plant breaks buds. Usually hanging dead twigs will drop on their own, but there is no harm in taking out what you see now. Most branches

larger than around an inch will be OK, but again, nature will tell you as the spring greenup progresses.

There were other parts of the county and area that experienced strong storm wind damage, including tornado damage south and east of Logan. Here are some guidelines when dealing with major damage to trees: • Be Safe! If overhead chainsaw work is needed, large limbs are hanging or climbing into the canopy is needed, consider hiring an arborist who knows how to safely do the work.

• Watch out for power lines around the limbs that might become involved.

• Remove broken limbs and jagged stumps as best you can. Making a smooth cut helps reduce the risk of decay

EXTENSION OFFICE RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu

organisms penetrating the wound.

• Don’t overprune.

Only remove broken limbs. The tree needs all the food producing leaves it can get now, and its appearance can be adjusted later once the plant has recovered.

• Do NOT use pruning paints or wound dressings; they really do little to help the plant heal.

• NEVER NEVER NEVER “top” the trees.

Topping whacks off the main branches to stubs, which produces an unsightly freak plant and weakens the tree, and sets it up to grow

dangerous, weakly attached secondary growth.

Good luck to everyone in the area dealing with damage. The plethora of repair service people that descended on Harrison County is nearly breath-taking. Be careful to check for references and use that Latin phrase caveat emptor, meaning “buyer beware!” Many of these companies are reputable, but…

Knit-Wits in session The third through sixth grade knitting club, The Knit-Wits, is back in session. The group was momentarily put on hold throughout the winter sports season to accommodate those active with school activities.

The group, led by instructor Angela Doyel and assisted by Ali Glackin, meets from 10-11 a.m. on Saturday mornings at the Woodbine Youth Library. All age and skill levels are invited and supplies are available for those who need them.

The group was originally planned in 2009, but didn’t become a reality until November of 2010, driven by Doyel and Glackin. It was the pairs’ TeamMates mentors that led them to their love of the art of knitting.

“My mentor Dottie Seymour had been talking about the knitting night at the adult library one day. I had no idea what it was,” Doyel admitted. “Now we just want to teach a whole bunch of people how to knit. We hope to see Knit-Wits get a lot better and bigger.”

Jacqueline Thomsen, DC, Woodbine, was sworn in as a district director and is currently serving her second-year of a threeyear term. She currently

practices chiropractic at Thomsen Chiropractic Clinic in Woodbine.

“Dr. Thomsen is a great asset to the ICS board. Her tremendous leadership and dedication will help to advance the profession,” Executive Director of the Iowa Chiropractic Society Daniel D. Garrett

Telehealth screens at Woodbine Alegent clinic There is a shortage of behavioral health professionals in the state of Iowa. In order to improve access and services to Iowans, the Telehealth program and equipment have been paid for by the Iowa Department of Human Services through its contract with Magellan Behavioral Care of Iowa for the Iowa Plan for Behavioral Health Medicaid Community Reinvestment.

This grant allocates funds for the purpose of connecting statewide access of physicians and nurse practitioners with patients through Webcams and computer technology. This type of communication is called Telehealth.

Alegent Health Community Memorial Hospital Behavioral Services received grant money from the Department of Human Services that was used to purchase equipment. The equipment consists of two 27-inch television (Telehealth) screens. Other equipment includes two high definition video conference cameras. One camera and screen is located in the nurse practitioner’s office in Missouri Valley. The other camera and screen is located in a private room in the new

March 30, 2011

health clinic in Woodbine which assures patient privacy. .

Benefits of using this manner of communication and medication management with Judy Benson, ARNP include: • No need to drive to Missouri Valley from Woodbine for medication management. This saves time and gas money.

• Medicaid and Medicare pay for the visit.

• Most private insurances pay for the visit.

• For some it is more comfortable to talk with Judy via camera than face to face.

• Those in the surrounding areas may also use this service which will save time and gas money.

Call the Woodbine Clinic at 6472566 or the Behavioral Services office at 712-642-2045 in Missouri Valley to schedule an appointment for Telehealth medication management with Judy. The staff in the Woodbine Clinic will assure that the equipment is turned on and ready to go for your Telehealth visit.

The Woodbine Twiner

March 30, 2011

Community Early spring storm hammers Logan area MARY DARLING For The Twiner The spring storm that hit the Logan area about 5 p.m., March 22 brought golf ball sized hail, strong winds and reports of a tornado to the area.

The mobile home east of Logan, belonging to Richard Jordan, was destroyed by what was reported as an EFI intensity tornado with winds from 86 to 110 mph. A home that formerly belonged to Jay Johnsen on State Highway 44 was also damaged as well as his parents’ home down the road.

According to Harrison County Emergency Management Director Larry Oliver, a trained spotter witnessed the tornado near the LoganMissouri Valley golf course. It tracked on a northeast route for approximately 12 miles.

Oliver said no injuries were reported from the storm.

Cracked siding, broken windows and shingles, dimpled cars and broken windshields were just some of the other dam-

ages resulting from the quick moving storm.

The vehicles of teachers and parents parked at Logan-Magnolia School for parent-teacher conferences saw lots of dimples, broken windows and other damages.

According to Superintendent Jim Hammrich the portable buildings and school vehicles also received damages in the storm. They were still checking on damage to the roof and buildings at the athletic field.

Several windows were broken at the Methodist Church in Logan.

“The storm windows took the brunt of it,” said Pastor Jack Hofmockel.

“But it did get some of the stained glass.”

According to City Administrator Nedra Fliehe, both Logan police cars were damaged and the swimming pool mechanical building siding damaged as well as a few holes in the west side siding of the community center.

“I imagine there is some damage to the roof of almost every building,” Fliehe said. “We will have

our adjuster figure that out. There was definitely a mess on the streets with all the branches that were broken by the hail.”

Amanda and Alex Knauss, who live south of town, went out to the field to watch the wall cloud that afternoon.

“We saw something coming up from the ground that looked like a pillar of smoke. I thought the wind was so bad that it struck something and caused a fire. Nope, that

wasn’t the case. The pillar rapidly started growing wider and moving in our direction,” Amanda said.

“We could hear the train noise people often talk about and headed for the house.”

The strong winds broke a branch off a tree and picked up a metal door from the cellar. The family lost electricity for about two hours.

Many people were caught in the storm on their way home from

World renown Saint John’s Bible coming to MRA In celebration of the Diocese of Des Moines’ 100th anniversary year, the diocesan Centennial Cultural Committee is bringing to the Museum of Religious Arts 12 pages from the fine-art edition of The Saint John’s Bible. The public is invited to view these beautiful pages of hand-drawn calligraphy and illuminations that have captivated people throughout the world. The pages will be on display for a limited time, April 3-17, at the museum, located at 2697 Niagara Trl, Logan, The exhibit and museum are open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. The display is free and open to the public.

There will still be a fee to experience the rest of the museum.

In 1998, Saint John’s University and Abbey in Minnesota commissioned renowned calligrapher Donald Jackson, calligrapher for Queen Elizabeth II, to produce a

handwritten, hand-illuminated Bible. His team of artists in Wales and a team of scholars in central Minnesota have collaborated to create a contemporary artistic masterpiece and work of theology. Jackson and his team have been using homemade quills and ink for the words and illuminations of the Bible stories. The artwork reflects contemporary times, with New York’s World Trade Center twin towers incorporated in one illustration.

The Heritage Edition is a full-size, fine-art reproduction of the original Saint John’s Bible.

The 12 framed samples that will be on display at the Museum of Religious in Harrison County are from the following Bible stories: • Creation, Genesis 1:1-2:4a • Garden of Eden Genesis 2:8-25 • Adam and Eve Genesis 3 • Suffering Servant

And by Gods wonderful Grace, no one was hurt.

There is a lot of property damage to fix, but we can do that.

I would like to be the contractor of choice for any roofing, siding or window project that you have as a result of the recent hail storm in Harrison County. To help you and everyone else that will be involved in the restoration of the hail and wind damage to your home or business I would like to give you some advice regardless of whom you hire to do your work.

I have been through several of these kinds of storms where the damage occurs in a concentrated area. First be very patient. There are a lot of people looking to get a lot of work done as soon as possible. It is going to take a long time to get all of the damage in the Logan, Missouri Valley and Woodbine area done. So use patience with your insurance company, adjusters and contractors. They are normally doing their best to do what is required to service your account.

If you can, get your contractor involved with your insurance adjuster. A contractor who has been in the business for a long time has lots of experience working with these people and normally, can be of benefit to you financially as well as taking a lot of emotional pressure off of you.

Everyone who lives in or has a business in one of these towns that has had hail should get up on their roof or have a contractor get on the roof and check for damage.

This damage is not easily detectable from the ground.

Every roof that I have been on today is showing signs of damage and should be checked by your insurance adjuster The reason you have paid for home or business insurance is to cover these kinds of damages.

There will be a lot of crews coming from other places to do this work. There has to be, otherwise it would never get done. So be patient with them too. We are all working toward the same end, to restore the houses of our community to normal as efficiently and quickly as possible.

work. Linda Hennessy was on her way back to Logan with Cheryl Smithson from Omaha, Neb. “According to what the radio said we were ahead of the storm when we pulled onto Highway 30 in Missouri Valley,” Hennessy said. “We arrived in Logan about 4:50, shortly before the tornado siren went off.”

They went to Hennessy’s parents in town and stayed until the

storm passed. Their cars were dimpled in the driveway. At her home the siding facing west was damaged along with two solar tubes in the roof that allow in natural light.

“We are fortunate to live in such a small community with good Samaritans and neighbors. Lyle Gilfillan came to help my parents with their damaged sky lights and then stopped at our house to help us get ours covered,” Hennessy said.

The Woodbine Twiner

New Alegent Clinic to open doors April 4 From ALEGENT Page 1 Trust and Savings Bank and Brick Street Station owners, the expansive construction began.

Aiding in the financial burden of the approximate $1 million building included a Community Facilities Grant for $199,500, a Harrison County Rural Electric Cooperative loan for $100,000 and a USDA Community Facility Loan for $945,000.

The total cost of the project included several “green” initiatives such as: • Ground source heat pump. Takes advantage of the moderate temperatures in the ground to boost efficiency and reduce the operational costs of heating and

cooling systems.

• Motion sensing lighting in each room. Allows lighting to shut off after a pre-set time when no motion has been detected.

• Tinted and Low-E glass. Reduces heat gain into the interior spaces.

• Exterior sun shades at the west and south-west windows. Provides shading of summer sun.

• Added insulation.

Provided a continuous layer of insulation on the face of the exterior wall to help prevent thermal transfer though the studs. This was in addition to standard cavity insulation.

• Lighting “wattage” throughout the building kept to a minimum to

reduce energy consumption.

• Use of recycled materials and low VOC paints where possible.

• Low-Flow water fixtures at exam room and restroom sinks.

• White roof to provide higher solar reflectance –reducing heat transfer into the building.

“Energy efficiency was one of our primary goals,” Valentine said.

Even though the building is already commonly being referred to as “The Alegent Building,” technically, Woodbine Betterment is the current owner.

However, Alegent has the option to purchase the building in 11.5 years.

The approximately $1 million project will be offering an array of advantages for the community and, in Valentine’s simple words, “It’s beautiful.”

Changes to the facility and employees include a new physical therapy room, three exam rooms for Enrique E. Cohen, MD and Christy Jackson, ARNP, a procedure room for minor procedures such as suturing and nurses’ station separate and more private than the previous one and even an additional office for a mental health practitioner.

“The building is really going to change how we operate,” Valentine said.

In order to prepare the new building, the clinic, at

Continuing Father Paul’s love: A fundraiser From FATHER Page 1 regard.

“After 13 years at the reservation, you fall in love with a group of people and you don’t want to leave them,” Father Paul stated in a 2008 interview. “That’s why I still have attachments and relationships with those people.”

That relationship, between Father Paul and Rosebud, were expanded when he brought that love and shared it with several of his parish members in Harrison County.

“Father Paul spoke often, spoke fondly and spoke passionately of the people of the Rosebud Reservation where he spent many years,” St. Patrick’s Parish member Karen Klein said. “Although it seems like we’re worlds apart, his love for them and his love for us brings all of us closer together. We share a love of Father Paul with them.”

So Smith and Klein decided to take action after that letter arrived.

“I had been sending money every once in a while to the St. Francis Mission and this year I got a letter back from Father John, the main Jesuit serv-

ing there now,” Smith said.

“The letter said they needed money to go ahead and continue school this fall. He said with the economy the way it is, it has really hit them hard because the donations just aren’t coming in.”

The donation shortfall is vast. The letter stated the school needs close to $1 million to get things moving forward again.

In order to show their continued love of Father Paul Strittmatter and the beliefs all of Strittmatter’s Harrison County congregations shared, they quickly put a fundraiser in place and are looking to the public for help.

An April 2 fundraiser has been put into place, beginning at 5 p.m. at the St. Patrick’s Parish Center in Dunlap. The Gold Slipper will be catering a full fledged meal from 5-7 p.m. including chicken or roast beef and all the trimmings.

Tickets are available at $10 for adults and $7.50 for children 12 and under.

And an auction will follow. That’s where the pair of the fundraising co-chairs is looking for help.

“We already have a quilt

donated by the Lakota on the reservation,” Klein said.

“But we’re looking for anything.”

Suggestions including any kind of labor, babysitting hours, pies, homemade jellies, wine baskets … anything and everything.

“It’s fun to see what people can come up with on their own,” Smith said.

“They get very creative.”

Auction donations may be dropped off between 6-8 p.m. April 1 at the St. Patrick’s Parish in Dunlap or at the event itself up until the auction begins.

Following the auction, the Shakes Rockwell Band, formerly the Mark Weber band, will take the stage to provide live entertainment for the fundraiser goers.

Smith and Klein have no premonitions or expectations on how much they will raise, but both agreed that, “Anything is better than nothing,” as Smith stated.

“Without the much needed charitable donations, the people of the Rosebud Reservation will not be able to open their Nativity School in the fall.

The Nativity Schools were developed by the Jesuits for

the inner city and have been successful in preparing disadvantaged youth for college,” Klein said. “We have the opportunity to help others less fortunate than us.”

Father Paul once during an interview may have said it the best when he was discussing the winding journey he took to becoming a pastor at the age of 38.

“It’s always interesting how one finds what one is supposed to do in life,” he had said.

Now Smith and Klein have found what they are supposed to do at the present and hope others will join in the effort by attending and donating.

Please contact Mary Lou Smith at 712-643-5735 or Karen Klein at 712-643-2265 (home) or 712-592-9768 (cell) for more information or to get involved.

Monetary donations will also be accepted, with checks being made out to the St. Francis Mission.

“Our communities and each of us individually were so fortunate to have Father Paul touch our lives,” Klein said. “In Father Paul’s honor, let’s take this opportunity to touch the lives of those he cared for.”

both locations, will be closed on April 1 as they begin the process of moving equipment and belongings and work throughout the weekend. The clinic will officially reopen at their new location, at 518 Lincoln Way, on April 4. Hours of operation will remain the same: 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday; and 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.

In honor of the new facility, Woodbine’s Alegent Health Clinic will host an open house from 4-7 p.m.

April 8. The open house will include tours through the new facility and the entire staff will be on hand

to answer questions, as well as Woodbine Betterment, Woodbine City, Alegent, USDA, Harrison County REC, The Weitz Company (general contractors) and Alley Poyner Macchietto Architure representatives.

“This will be really nice for the Woodbine community,” Alegent Health Community Memorial Hospital Foundation Coordinator Michael Baker said. “With the facility upgrades and equipment upgrades, the providers are excited and we hope their excitement extends to the community of Woodbine.”

Please contact the Woodbine Alegent Health Clinic with questions or concerns at 647-2566.

Safe Routes to School workshop to be held April 6 From SAFETY Page 1 place, Woodbine School Library, were set.

The agenda for the evening’s events includes programs on why safe routes matter, identifying barriers, encouragement and education strategies and how to enforce them and how a community can make a safe route a reality. The evening will conclude with a community input session, focusing on identifying and finding solutions to barriers.

“After the workshop, I will send back a report that gives the community a plan on what they see as barriers and how to overcome them,” McGuire said.

But the school is not acting alone on the project.

Parents, childcare providers, CUBS member and City of Woodbine officials will all be in attendance as representatives of the community.

“This workshop will review existing conditions for Woodbine student travel and define steps toward improvements, as well as serve as preliminary research for grant submissions; public input is highly valued,” Woodbine Main Street-Chamber Program Director and WCS Testing & Special Projects Coordinator, Deb Sprecker said.

And while the date has been set, it takes the entire community to accomplish what may seem to some to be a simple task – and maintain it.

“We’ve received many responses from the parent survey. The school and the City of Woodbine will be working together on this endeavor and will be putting together an ongoing task force of community, school and city representatives,” Woodbine Elementary Principal Kathy Waite said. “Please call the school if you would be interested in serving on the task force.”

Please contact the school at 647-2440 to join the task force or with questions.

But before the building was complete, the dirt under the building began to settle.

While Vandemark and Jackson-Haag were still in possession of the building, the government closed U.S. Highway 30 and several businesses went under – the Outer Limits included.

“When the government closed Highway 30, it killed them and there were no funds available to make any changes,” Christensen said in a 2007 interview. “The owners knew it was settling and wanted to get it fixed – and then it just closed. It took off really good in the beginning – and the rest is history.”

Sapp Brothers took possession of the building and leased it out to “Cheap Smokes.” But not for long as they regained possession of the building in 2005.

Sapp Brothers put the building on the market where it remained until last year.

“We can’t get it sold.

Everybody seems to be afraid of it,” Christensen said in May of 2007.

But United Western Coop wasn’t afraid. They purchased the building early in the fall of 2010.

“We had to do a lot of testing before an agreement was reached. We had to

make sure the lines were tight and there weren’t any leaks in the tanks,” United Western Coop General Manager Trent Sprecker said.

According to Sprecker, the United Western Coop also replaced the pumps, replaced the canopy, completed dirt work, poured new concrete and inserted a new, electronic sign that can be changed remotely.

There was actually a lot of electrical work involved.

“Because there’s no actual store,” Sprecker explained. “It’s all electronic.”

The electronically operated pumps are a new breed on their own, offering “blender pumps” on their gas island.

“The gas island offers unleaded, E10, E15, E30 or E85. You just push a button and the pump blends it,” Sprecker explained.

“They’re fairly new and if you have a flex-fuel vehicle, you can burn any one of these. We thought this would be something new that people would like.”

The station will also offer highway diesel fuel with one high flow diesel pump dispersing 30 to 40 gallons per minute and one regular flow diesel pump.

The station will be open 24 hours and, Sprecker wanted it known, will be well lit through the evening

and nighttime hours.

The United Western Coop gas station outside of Woodbine is joining three others owned by or partnered with the company, including those in Modale, Mondamin and Moorhead.

The UWC’s decision to purchase the sight was simple, and their reasoning stands.

“We’re already in the fuel business and we want to grow our fuel business,” Sprecker said. “We hope, with this location, we’ll sell a lot of diesel fuel. We’re hoping to get the truck traffic from Highway 30 since it’s difficult for trucks to maneuver into other gas stations nearby. And that’s not to mention that we have our own trucks we need to fill.

We’re just trying to grow our fuel businesses and give our customers and owners in the area another place to fill up while offering convenience to highway drivers.”

The sight held its grand opening March 26 with door prizes, free food and special guests, Representative Matt Windschitl and Senator James Seymour. A ribbon cutting was held by the Harrison County Development Corporation to celebrate the opening of the business.

From SENTENCE Page 1 who were riding motorcycles home from a trip.

The 22-year-old expressed remorse before the sentence was announced: “What can I say that will erase the fact that my actions killed four people?

These four men were great people, and their lives ended too soon. I am so sorry.”

Schlichtemeier had pleaded guilty to driving drunk when his pickup truck veered into four oncoming motorcyclists on Interstate 29 last Aug. 9.

“You had a bright future,” Harrison County District Court Judge Jeffrey Larson told Schlichtemeier.

“You have ruined that by your willingness to drink and drive. The sentence needs to send a message, not just to you but to anyone who thinks it’s not a big deal to get the behind the wheel after drinking.”

The Iowa State Patrol had said Schlichtemeier’s blood-alcohol level measured .373 percent - more than four times the legal limit - when his pickup truck slammed into the motorcyclists in a construction area near Little Sioux, north of Council Bluffs.

The four riders - Jay Bock of Omaha; Steven Benscoter of Pacific Junction; and Dale Aspedon

and Dennis Chaney, both of Glenwood - were almost home from their trip to Sturgis, S.D. In a plea deal, Schlichtemeier will serve 50 years - two consecutive 25year sentences and two more 25-year sentences to be served at the same time.

He faced four counts of vehicular homicide, each carrying a penalty of 25 years.

Defense attorney Steve Lefler said Schlichtemeier could be paroled in 12-14 years if he exhibits good behavior, or 18-22 years “if he screws up.”

While Schlichtemeier addressed the judge, he acknowledged his family: “To my family, I feel that I have let you down.”

His parents, Don and Bonnie Schlichtemeier of Murray, Neb., sat in the front row in the courtroom and were visibly emotional as their son spoke.

Schlichtemeier also discussed his alcoholism and talked about using alcohol to address his bi-polar disorder. He said he has been “sober for eight and half months, has an AA sponsor and has made strides.”

Relatives of two victims also spoke.

Marty Chaney, son of Dennis Chaney, addressed Schlichtemeier: “I appreciate that you’re sorry, and I believe that you are. But it’s

too late for sorry.”

Suzie Bock, the sister of Jay Bock, said she wanted Schlichtemeier to understand their loss.

“There were 1,750 people at Jay’s funeral, and double that that wanted to attend but couldn’t.

Multiply that by four, and you’ll know how many lives you affected with your actions.”

Charles Thoman, representing the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, recited pre-sentence findings: By 19, Schlichtemeier was drinking eight beers a night four nights a week. By 21, it was 10 beers every day and the start of marijuana use.

“He’s a hard-core substance abuser,” Thoman said.

He noted a 2008 conviction for operating a vehicle while intoxicated resulted in a term of probation and treatment.

In handing down the sentence, Judge Larson acknowledged that no amount of prison time “can bring back the four men.”

After the hearing Marty Chaney said, “there’s a little closure.”

About Schlichtemeier, he said, “I feel sorry for his family, for the mistakes he’s made. Hopefully he’ll be rehabilitated (in prison). If he can become a productive member of society, that’d be OK with me.”

A n d r e w Schlichtemeier acknowledges his family as he enters the courtroom.

Andrew Schlichtemeier is sentenced to 25 years for each count of vehicular homicide at the Harrison C o u n t y Courthouse in Logan, on March 2 4 .

Schlichtemeier killed four motorcyclists on I-29 on Aug. 9, 2010.

The Woodbine Twiner

March 30, 2011

Community Looking back into the past of The Woodbine Twiner 1951 – 60 Years Ago Miss LaMoyne Messenger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Messenger of Woodbine, is a candidate for the honor of Sioux Queen at Morningside College, Sioux City.

Miss Lorraine Collins, 13 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Collins of Logan on the grand championship in the Harrison County spelling contest held Monday in the Logan school gymnasium. She was also first place winner in the written contest, and placed second in the written contest last year.

Wayne Foutch and son of Woodbine have been elected to membership in the American Aberdeen-Angus Breeders’ Association at Chicago. Mr. Foutch and Son were among the 25 purebred AberdeenAngus breeders elected from Iowa during the past month to membership in the organization.

Kenneth D. Rankin, of Woodbine was among 340 graduates of Iowa State College who received degrees and certificates on Wednesday, March 21.

People of the Woodbine area gave 70 pints of life-saving blood here Friday, when the Red Cross bloodmobile visited the community. Although this still did not meet the quota of 100 pints for the community, it was a very good record considering the past year giving, sickness and time of year.

In a survey and timing conducted recently at the Missouri Valley Roller Rink, it was found that the average

skater will skate 16 to 20 miles in a three hour session. The average distance around the Missouri Valley Rink floor was found to be 280 feet, and the average skater made this distance very 25 seconds, or over 600 feet each minute, 36,000 feet each hour, which would tally 108,000 feet in a threehour skating session, or more than 20 miles.

Officers for the coming year were elected at the regular monthly meeting of the Woodbine firemen.

Officers elected were Chief, Harry Boustead; assistant chief, Lynn Ganzhorn; president, Lynn Royer; and secre-

For the first time in the history of Woodbine, the town now has a oneway street. Last Friday, signs were installed marking the block on fifth Street from Lincolnway to Walker St. as one-way going east. In other words, auto traffic will be allowed to move from the Food Land corner to the bank corner, but not in the reverse direction.

The one-way street was installed, according to Mayor Robert Stewart to help solve the problem of traffic congestion in that area.

Included in the cast of the senior play “Bull In A China Shop” to be presented March 31 are, Jane Leonard, Judy Peterson, Gudny, Karen Lewis, Sherrie Stueve, Mary Deupree. Fred

Dusting is a big chore for more housewives, but especially for Mrs. James Brown of rural Woodbine. She dusts her collection of about 900 sets of salt and pepper shakers every other day. Sylvia Brown’s collection started about 19 years ago with the gift of a pair of shakers from her mother-in-law. Also, her husband’s, boss, when the family lived in Illinois, gave her several boxes of shakers because his wife didn’t want them anymore.

In the recent “Jump Rope for Heart” activity contributions totaled $2,473.35. All students turning in pledges of $10 or more will receive a Jump Rope for Heart T-Shirt.

This team raised a total of $330.55.

1991 – 20 Years Ago The Woodbine business district changed Monday. After 23 years of business. Norlyn Taylor has sold Taylor Agricultural Center to Gary Dickinson and Gary Hall. The new business will be called Gary’s Ag Supply Co. Norlyn purchased the business from Mary McKinney on January 1, 1967, but it was a considerably different business he purchased than the one he sold. At that time the main product was seed corn which was raised and processed and there was very little feed and fertilizer involved. The major use of fertilizer was in its infancy at that time, Taylor said.

Woodbine Grain Company has ended an eleven year affiliation with Scoular Grain Company and entered into a similar agreement with the Foxley Grain Company, Donald (Red) and Nathan Kenkel will remain co-managers of the facility.

The Woodbine school recently held their spelling bee. Anna Cox won first place and Wes Hammitt won second place.

Now that spring is here, you may find it easier to get outside to run, bike or take part in other physical pursuits that you enjoy. As you know, the more active you are, the more efficiently your body will work. And the same can hold true for your investments: The more exercise they get, the more potential to work on your behalf.

Just how do investments get “exercise”? Through lots of activity. And you can keep your investments active in at least two ways: through systematic investing and dividend reinvestment. Let’s take a look at both these techniques.

When you engage in systematic investing, commonly called “dollar cost averaging,” you are continually putting your money “in motion.”

Essentially, you put the same amount of money into the same investments at regular intervals. For example, you might decide to invest $100 per month in Company ABC stock. To impose this investment discipline on yourself, you could even have the money sent directly from your checking or savings account.

Of course, since the priceof ABC stock, like those of all stocks, is constantly

changing, your $100 investment will most likely buy different numbers of shares each month. This can work to your advantage, because when the stock price of ABC goes down, your $100 will buy more shares. When the price goes up, you’ll automatically be a smart enough “shopper” to buy fewer shares, just as you’d typically buy less of something when its price goes up.

Over time, systematic investing typically results in a lower average cost per share than if you were to make sporadic lump-sum investments. If you can lower the cost of investing, this may help boost your investment returns. This also can be an effective way to fund your retirement account(s) each year. (Keep in mind, though, that systematic investing does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss. Also, you’ll need the financial resources available to keep investing through up and down markets.)

Dividend reinvestment is similar to systematic investing in that it allows you to build more shares of an investment. But when you reinvest dividends, you don’t

even have to take money from other sources to increase your shares — you simply request that a stock or a mutual fund, instead of paying you a dividend in cash, reinvest the dividend into that same stock or mutual fund. It’s an effortless way of adding shares.

Similar to dollar cost averaging, dividend reinvestment imposes investment discipline — you automatically keep putting money in the market during up and down periods.

(Don’t forget, though, that dividends can be increased, decreased or eliminated at any point without notice.)

Exercising your investment dollars in these ways can help you go a long way toward keeping your portfolio in good shape — enabling you to make healthy progress toward your important long-term goals.

The Woodbine Twiner

Classifieds Grants available to promote specialty crops Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey announced the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship will make grants available to help enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops grown in Iowa.

The department is eligible to receive approximately $275,000 in grant funding through the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program which is run by the USDA Agricultural Marketing

Service. This is the fourth of five Specialty Crop Block Grants authorized through the Farm Bill (Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008).

Iowa agencies, universities, institutions and producer, industry and community based organizations are all eligible to apply for funding to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops. In addition, single organizations, institutions and individuals are encour-

aged to participate as project partners.

Grant awards will be considered up to a maximum of $24,000.

Grant funds shall be used for projects that solely enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops that benefit the specialty crop industry as a whole and will not be awarded for projects that directly benefit a particular product or provide a profit to a single organization, institution or

individual.

“Specialty Crops” that are eligible under this program are fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits and horticulture and nursery crops, including floriculture.

Proposals must be received by IDALS on or before 4 p.m. on May 13.

For more information visit the IDALS Specialty Crop Block Grant program at the Department’s Web site at www.IowaAgriculture.gov

/Horticulture_and_Farmer sMarkets/specialtyCropGr ant.asp.

The department is also establishing a Review Committee to help review, evaluate and make recommendations on grant proposals submitted to the department.

Those interested in participating in the Review Committee should have knowledge of specialty crops, and/or grant writing or grant management expe-

rience and the ability to devote the necessary time to complete the review process. Additional information about reviewer responsibilities, meeting dates and an application form can be found at www.IowaAgriculture.gov /Horticulture_and_Farmer sMarkets/specialtyCropGr ant.asp.
