WEA and Chamber offering tasty fundraiser March 13 NIKKI DAVIS Editor It’s a tasty way for the Woodbine Community School District to raise funds for scholarships, provide pool passes for community members and more. The Woodbine Education Association and Woodbine Main Street-Chamber are teaming up for the second Staley’s Chicken Dinner from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

March 13 in the Woodbine Community

School commons area.

Last year, the dinner served about 375 dinners.

The goal this year is set at serving 500.

“The Staley’s Chicken Dinner is visible proof of the importance of community and school working together,” Main Street-Chamber President Lynn Clark said. “We are fortunate to live in a community where we recognize the value of working together.

Everyone benefits from this event – great chicken

dinner, time to visit with your neighbors while helping raise funds for the school.”

The WEA developed the idea last year after responding to help with Sunday Dinners Downtown, where the WEA and Main StreetChamber split the tasks using volunteers from both organizations. The event was so well received, plans were soon in the works to repeat the event.

“Preparations for the

dinner usually start a few months ahead of time,” WEA Co-President Stephanie Strong admitted. “This year we decided to share the fundraiser with the Main StreetChamber to promote both organizations and to show the community that the school and local businesses are a team in promoting this town and this school.”

Each meal served by the WEA and Main StreetChamber volunteers will See STALEY’S Page 6

Olweus Bully Prevention Program Family Night proves a success

Harrison County Humane Society focused on moving forward “We are looking at federal grants and the big push this year is for the building.” ~HCHS President LuAnn Kahle

Just a roll of masking tape and newspapers ... those were construction materials for each group participating in Olweus’ Bully Prevention Family Night March 2. Pictured here are Cameryn Schafer, Cody Moores, Marissa Oestmann, Austin Moores, Barbie Schafer and Jenny Moores. The goal of the team building project was for each team to build a self-standing structure made only of newspaper and masking tape that could cover the whole team. “That was a lot of fun,” elementary student Conrad Schafer said. The team building activity followed the Olweus Bully Prevention informational presentation. The event drew 280 parents, community members and students. The evening was funded by a Harrison, Manona, Shelby County Decatagorization Community Partnership for Proctecting Children grant. Free T-shirts were distributed through a drawing for students sporting the evening’s theme: “Reach into the darnkess; pull another into the light.”

SHORT TAKES

Seeking veteran’s photos Veterans, or friends and family, are being encouraged to provide pictures of themselves or soldiers in uniform while on active duty to Cindy at the Woodbine Elementary School. The photos will be used for a presentation during next year’s Veteran’s Day program. All pictures will be returned. Please be sure a name and phone number are provided on the back of the photo.

The Harrison County Humane Society is bound and determined to continue their forward progress in 2011 – but are actively seeking help in more than one area.

The group has actually been around since the early 2000s, but dissention and health related issues forced the group to fall apart in 2003. In 2005, they reorganized with original members and new members and haven’t looked back.

The group has begun fundraising activities throughout the county, such as their Rescue Ride poker run in the summer, followed up by an auction and live music. Then there’s the annual Santa Paws in December, where animals and humans can have their picture taken with Santa Claus.

CHAMBER CONNECTION THE GREEN COMMITTEE WOODBINE MAIN STREET-CHAMBER

Looking to the future to be Green

D

uring the February Green committee meeting, those in attendance participated in a “brainstorming” session regarding priorities for the coming months. Before discussing priorities, the group was asked two questions.

1. “What is Sustainibility?”

Collective Response: Woodbine considers sustainability as the ability to make the most of the resources you have at hand. We believe it is the ability to endure in a perpetual, self-sustaining way by having the foundation to support ourselves indefinitely. It includes reducing the carbon footprint of not only the town as a whole, but also every citizen.

2. “What does a ‘green’ Woodbine look like?”

Collective Response: A “green” Woodbine includes curbside recycling, energy savings, and the little things that will keep our community clean and healthy. It is important to pass along talents and information to the next generation and to keep them engaged and involved.

The major priorities identified during the discussion included: establishment of a curbside recycling program, increasing environmental education in the schools, residential energy audits, and educating the community on energy efficiency practices.

As reported in an earlier edition of the Twiner, the City of Woodbine has secured grant funding to support an Energy Corps Vista Member. Alana Smith arrived in Woodbine at the end of January.

Much of the research and gathering of information related to fulfilling the priorities listed above will be Alana’s responsibility while she is on duty here in Woodbine until December. She will be visiting with business owners and residents to document current behaviors related to energy efficiency and will help educate us as a community in regards to becoming a better, “greener” Woodbine.

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.

A first phrase and a new trick

I

’ve actually had some recent requests for an Eva update. It has been a while since I threw one out there, and she is growing so big, so fast, as many warned me she would when she was born.

My little Eva is turning into quite the character.

She’s learning everyday. I wish I was home more so I could see more of these developments! She cracks me up.

She spoke her first phrase two weeks ago. It shocked my hubby and I both, who were there to hear it.

We were playing outside after work and before I left for my second job. Eva loves, loves, loves it outside. I can’t stress that enough. Ever since she was born, she liked to lay in the grass, play with dandelions, stare at birds, trees … So we were in her “fort,” a Fischer Price toy, in the corner of the yard.

She was exploring her way around it … in it … beside it … poking it with a stick she found next to … etc …

“Eva, mommy has to go to work,” I told her, watching her. She simply glanced over at me and shook her head.

“Eva, sweetie, mommy’s going to be late. I have to go to work. Let’s go inside,” I tried again. Once again I was met with resistance.

“Baby, we have to go inside,” I said, trying to be firm as I melted into those baby blues of hers.

Then out it came. Clear as a bell.

“No go ‘side!!!” She demanded it. My hubby and I looked at each other, questioning each other as to if we heard the same thing.

So there you have it. My baby’s very first phrase was backtalk, plain and simple. I might be given a run for my money … and patience as she gets older!

We have also discovered that Eva might be auditioning for the infamous show, “American Idol,” when she gets a little older.

She likes music – another thing she always has enjoyed … even in utero. I always listened to an array of music (not that I don’t anyway) when I was pregnant and when she was first born. The eclectic music array varied from Bach and Bethoven to Korn and the Insane Clown Posse.

My mother-in-law purchased a book that had

nursery rhymes that were set to song. The first rhyme in the book: “If You’re Happy and You Know It.” I read it to her once and she clapped her hands (nonstop) and giggled and giggled. Then she carried said book over to my niece, who two days younger than my step-daughter. She kept calling her sissy as she shoved the book on her lap and screamed until Jamie began to read.

Eva giggled and clapped. Then simply said, “Down?”

Once on the ground, she starts, for the first time, changing the pitch of her voice, stamping her feet and wildly clapping her hands. All you could understand was, “If you’re ha-nananannana-hands!”

As she danced around the living room, clapping and stomping and giggling. It was pure entertainment for her audience of grandma and grandpa, daddy and mommy, Uncle David and cousins Jeffrey and Jamie.

Once she was done, we broke out into a round of applause. She giggled more and ran to my lap and sat down.

Since then, she randomly bursts out into “songs.”

She often dances and claps or stomps her feet.

And I have been mentally recording and taking pictures of these little incidents. I don’t want to forget those giggles and sweet smile. No matter how bad of a day it is, how upset or sad or angry I am, I melt as soon as I see that gapped-tooth smile come around the corner screaming, “MAMAMAMAMAMA!” In short – Eva is doing well. And her mother … thinks she was the best thing that could have happened to tame my soul. (Until she turns into a teenager … I’ll update you as the years go by.)

S

pring is only a couple of weeks away, and that means if you start plants indoors to transplant to the garden, it is now time. The most common plants that are started early include peppers, cole crops (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, collards, Brussels sprouts), some herbs and a variety of annual flowers. But, by a wide margin, the most popular plant started early is the ubiquitous tomato. Starting plants from seed can be a good way to get a jump on the season, but it is not without some potential pitfalls. Here are a few thoughts on starting plants that will have a shot at success in the garden.

For all spring seed starting, remember they will need warmth and moisture to get started, and once the seedlings have emerged, adequate light. You will need good light quality to develop stocky healthy plants for transplanting. Low light results in etiolated (leggy) plants that will not handle transplanting well. Also, as the seeds germinate, there are damping-off fungi that can rapidly kill seedlings, (damping off and drying

out (the two opposite extremes) are the leading causes of seedling failure, so use a damp but welldrained potting medium.

The cole crops mentioned above are cool weather plants. They are all derived specialty types of the same species of plant, the wild cabbage (Brassica oleracea) that is native to Western Europe. Through the centuries, people have selected types that form a different flower head (broccoli and cauliflower), grow prominent edible buds (Brussels sprouts), grow thickened leaves that either bunch into a head (cabbage) or grow large and freely (kale and collards), or grow thickened edible stems (kohlrabi). These sibling plants have similar cultural needs, but growing conditions may affect them differently depending on the edible part of the plant that they produce. For instance, very hot weather as the cauliflower or broccoli are developing flower stalks will be more adverse than for the kohlrabi, which puts its effort into vegetative parts. But regardless, they all like good sunshine and cooler weather.

All of this cole group can

EXTENSION OFFICE RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu be started indoors in February or March, and can be planted outside when night temperatures are in the low to middle 20s and daytime temperatures are in the 40s and above. The idea is to get the seeds planted and good plants going to take advantage of the cooler seasons. One good thing in Iowa is that we have two potential cole seasons. Early planting for a spring/early season crop is the first, and if you remember to start new plants in July or early August to plant into the garden for a fall crop, that can work well. That fall crop will likely need to be irrigated.

The second group of plants are the “solanaceous” plants, including tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and tomatillos.

Though they all are similar in seeding practices, I will focus on tomatoes, where variety selection is pretty critical Rotating the location of solanaceous plants from year to

year is a great step to reduce diseases, but selection of resistant cultivars can help greatly.

There are several codes, for example VFN, used that indicate key characteristics of the cultivar that can help you.

Here are a few: “V” means the plant is verticillium wilt resistant, “F” refers to Fusarium wilt resistant, “N” is root-knot-nematode resistant (small round worms that feed on roots, stunting the plant), “A” is alternaria crown wilt resistant, and “T” is tobacco mosaic virus resistant.

Our biggest tomato killers are the verticillium and fusarium wilts, so if possible, I recommend using “VF” or “VFN” plants (whether you plant seed or purchase started transplants).

Community Hawks and owls visit Willow Lake

Hieb to visit during Harrison County Republican meeting March 17 Dr. Lee Hieb, currently serving as National President of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, will address the meeting of the Harrison County Republican Party, March 17 at the Woodbine Bunkhouse Café, 501 Walker St. in Woodbine.

Hieb will speak about the current state and future of the medical profession in the United States and the potential impact of “ObamaCare” legislation.

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons was established in 1943 and, according to Hieb, is dedicated to protect-

ing the “sacred relationship between physician and patient - not one between physician and government bureaucrat and patient.”

An Iowa native, Hieb’s medical career has included a stint as General Orthopaedic Surgeon at Camp Lejune, N.C., serving as the first and only female Louis A. Goldstein fellow of Spinal Surgery at the University of Rochester, a practice in spinal surgery in Washington, D.C. and a successful practice in Yuma, Ariz. Hieb has returned to Iowa, residing in Logan with her husband, Ross, and two sons. She is on the staff

in Orthopaedic and Spinal Surgery at Stewart Memorial Hospital in Lake City.

Hieb authors the blog PrognosisPoor@blogspot .com and nationally published articles written by Hieb can be linked at www.aapsonline.org.

Hieb’s remarks will be included within the regular monthly business meeting that will feature discussion of the upcoming spring event and state and national issues of interest.

Those wishing to eat dinner should arrive between 6-6:30 p.m. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m.

All area Republicans are wel-

Dr. Lee Hieb

Iowa State University has scheduled a series of certification workshops in April for people who want to sell morel mushrooms.

“The aim of the workshops is to help assure that misidentified mushrooms are not sold as morels,” plant pathology professor Mark Gleason, who is coordinating the workshops, said.

The workshops fulfill a new requirement for anyone wanting to legally sell morels in Iowa.

“Last year, Iowa’s laws changed to make it easier to get the certification needed to sell morels legally in the state,” he said.

Gleason will conduct the three-hour sessions on identifying morels and false morels. Certification lasts for three years.

The training costs $45 per person,

The Woodbine Twiner

WEA tasty fundraiser March 13 Humane Society From STALEY’S Page 1 consist of chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, a roll and a dessert.

“Staley’s food is so good and well known by many, that when we served it last year, it was a big hit,” Strong said.

The WEA and Main Street-Chamber foot the bill for the Staley’s dinner, while supplying the desserts from their own kitchens.

And it wouldn’t be a success without even more volunteers pitching in to aid in the cost.

“Farmers Trust and Savings Bank and the Harrison County REC have donated placemats.

Fouts Funeral Home has donated some napkins and the Sacred Heart Church has allowed us the use of their coffee pots,” Strong said. “And there’s always the volunteers that donate their time.”

Those volunteers spend their time, not only serving up a delicious fundraiser, but promote the school and its connection with the community.

“The Staley’s have a reputation for making some of the best chicken in Western Iowa,” Woodbine Main StreetChamber Director Deb Sprecker said. “As an extra bonus, those attending will have a selection of

those homemade pies, cheesecakes and other desserts donated by school staff and Main Street-Chamber volunteers that you absolutely will not want to miss.”

The Staley’s Chicken Dinner is served for $8 for adults and $5 for students 5-12 years old. Those under 5 eat for free. The group also offers take-out orders and delivery in Woodbine between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. by calling 647-2440.

“The WEA would like to thank all those people in the school and the Chamber who have volunteered to work, set-up, make desserts and clean-

up,” Strong said. “We would especially like to thank the janitorial staff at the school as they do an excellent job in making sure the tables are set up the day before the event and that the day runs smoothly. We would also like to thank, in advance, those who plan to come out for the dinner. We appreciate all the support.

By working with the Chamber on this fundraiser, we are showing the people of Woodbine that our school would not be successful without the community. We all work together to make Woodbine a wonderful place to live.”

Bunk House Café now open in Woodbine From CAFE Page 1 working in various restaurants for a number of years – including on the management side.

Nixon, an Omaha, Neb. native on the other hand, didn’t always share the same dream. Instead, she served as a youth life education teacher at Children’s Square for 13 years, owned her own cleaning business and coached basketball and softball for 25 years.

But that goal, that dream, sealed in that envelope, meant a lot to them both.

“When we got together business wise, we set a goal 25 years ago and stuck it in an envelope saying we would like to own a restaurant,” Nixon said.

“It took us 25 years, but look at us. We have two now.”

And it’s almost amazing it’s only two.

Before opening the Woodbine location on the corner of Fifth and Walker

Streets, the pair received a plethora of offers from Moorhead, Missouri Valley, Denison and even Blair, Neb. However, it was Woodbine that made them an offer they couldn’t refuse, according to Nixon.

The Woodbine restaurant closely mimics their original counterpart in Logan, with one major difference – they do serve fried foods in Woodbine.

But only due to a high demand for French fries.

“We really try to offer healthy foods,” McClain said.

Menu items range from a Tuesday through Friday hot buffet to regular “burger joint” menu items such as burgers, wraps, salads, hot beef, sandwiches and more. At least for lunch. Their breakfast menu includes eggs, pancakes, biscuits and gravy and more.

A few upcoming specialty items include seafood specials once a

month and a current specialty items include, all day breakfast day on Sundays, plus a Sunday breakfast buffet.

Currently, the only day of rest for the dynamic duo, who cook, serve and run the register along with their help, is Monday when the Bunk House Café is closed. Aside from Monday, the restaurant is open Tuesday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“In the near future, we’d like to try some evening hours and being open on Mondays,” Nixon said. “With good help, that’s possible.”

In the mean time, in neighboring Logan, the pair has changed the name of the former Bunk House Café to UR-Café and left it in the hands of Grace Walker and Lois Melsheimer. It’s still up and running from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through

Friday, so for those travelling, they may have a little taste of hometown cooking regardless of which town they’re in.

However the move to Woodbine was one they don’t regret.

“We really strive to offer friendly service, good food and a place you want to come home to,” McClain said. “The people here have been very friendly, supportive and appreciative.”

For a sneak peak at the menu, it is posted on http://bunkhousecafe.yol asite.com/. The Bunk House Café in Woodbine also has a Facebook page.

For questions or take out, Nixon and McClain may be reached at the Bunk House Café at 647-2711.

“It’s a privilege and honor to be asked to open up an establishment and be wanted,” Nixon added.

“I feel we’re blessed to have this opportunity. We are sincere and we are here to accommodate.”

HC farmer wins $2,500 for Fire Department From WINS Page 1 win $2,500 for their favorite, local, nonprofit organizations.

The Monsanto Fund sponsors the program, and winning farmers designate a local, nonprofit organization to benefit from the donations.

Kelley designated the Woodbine Fire Department to receive the donation.

Kelley, who matched the $2,500 Monsanto Fund Donation with $300 of his own money, says he is excited to have been selected as the winner for Harrison County.

“I think it’s a great situ-

ation that Monsanto is able to give back to the local communities because that is their base – small towns and farming communities,” Kelley said. “Fire fighters, they work hard.

They work their tails off all the time. We had a good year farming last year so I thought why not pitch in a little bit to help them out and see if some of the local farmers can help them get their new building paid for.”

The $2,500 donation was awarded at a ceremony held March 1 in Woodbine.

In more than 1,200 eligi-

ble counties, farmers could win $2,500 for their favorite community nonprofit. The Monsanto Fund expects to invest more than $3 million in local communities. The program originated with two pilot programs. The first pilot included 179 counties in Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas. The second pilot was expanded to include 298 counties in California, Kansas, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina and South Dakota. In total, more than $245,000 has been donated to nonprofits in Iowa.

The America’s Farmers Grow Communities program is part of a broad commitment by the Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of Monsanto, to highlight the important contributions farmers make every day to our society by helping them grow their local communities. To date, more than 60,000 farmers participated in the program, which is designed to benefit nonprofit groups such as ag youth, schools and other civic organizations.

focused on moving forward From HCHS Page 1 “I think a duck was the most unusual animal we’ve ever seen come in,” HCHS President LuAnn Kahle said. “And the duck just loved Santa.”

They’ve even begun some more regular fundraising such as a 50/50 raffle during the Old Theater’s (Logan) Taco Tuesday night. The first 50/50 raffle was a large success as $200 was in the pot when Jeannette Riley, the HCHS treasurer, won the pot, and donated her 50 percent back.

The 501c3 organization has also landed grants from the Harrison County Endowment Fund.

“Because of the, I think, that’s what’s gotten us on our feet,” Kahle said. “And our other huge ‘advertising’ route is the Paw Busters – our vehicle. It was donated by the City of Dunlap and we’ve taken to every parade and the Harrison County Fair and always receive a large response to it.”

They’ve even started targeting younger audiences, beginning a Harrison County school-wide tour, beginning with Missouri Valley and LoganMagnolia, discussing the importance of animal care.

They intend on visiting Woodbine, Boyer Valley and West Harrison before the end of the school year.

Despite these contributing funds and advertising methods, their member numbers remain low. This is a fact that bothers the organization.

“We really need community support and need people to step up to the plate,” Kahle said, after admitting the organization’s membership is only around 200 county wide. “We need more, core members.”

“Without that public support, we can not function,” Kahle’s husband, and original HCHS member Jon McElderry added.

Membership levels vary from $15 for a single membership to $200 for a gold membership. The funds from memberships are what the group uses to finance shots and spaying or neutering of the dogs that go through the HCHS’s not quite finished doors.

The HCHS recently had around 10 acres of land about one mile north of Magnolia on Laredo Avenue donated by Sue Kramer. The plans are to build a permanent building there.

“We are looking at federal grants and the big push this year is for the building,” Kahle said. “At least getting dirt work done, the well and a septic system.

If there’s anyone that would like to donate their time or talents to help, we’d love to hear from them.”

In the mean time, on Larry and Gayle Hayes’ private property, are temporary kennels. But licensed kennels.

“Out of the goodness of their hearts, they can take only a few dogs at a time, depending on size. There’s even two, outside runs. But it’s a 24-7 job and it’s hard on them, so we all try to help out,” Kahle said.

The building was inspected by the state and approved, as well as five, licensed foster care homes.

Any animal that winds up in the shelter is kept for two weeks for two reasons – to make sure they’re healthy and to make sure there isn’t an owner somewhere looking for them. Through the HCHS since they received the licenses, approximately 30 dogs have been adopted for $75 and several more have been reunited with their families.

Despite the good they’ve done to date, the HCHS is anxious to have an actual, operational building to call home.

“We are being realistic, due to our budget, because we can always add on,” Kahle said. “But we hope to have 10 to 20 dog kennels in the new building as well as a place for cats. Currently we are licensed for cats, but we have no where to put them. We just want a working, functioning human society to help control the pet population in Harrison County.”

If anyone is interested in becoming a member or foster home, or donating expertise and/or services for the new building, please contact LuAnne Kahle at 712-267-9906 or e-mail harrisonhumane@gmail.com.

The organization is also available on Face Book by searching “Harrison County Humane Society” or online at www.harrisonhumane.org. On the Web site, donations may be made, animals up for adoption may be viewed, heartwarming stories may be read and more.

Current HCHS board members include: President LuAnn Kahle, Missouri Valley; Vice President Christina Dickinson, Logan; Secretary Helen Rogers, Logan; Treasurer Jeanette Riley, Missouri Valley; and Committee Organizers Barb Miller, Missouri Valley, and Melissa Vana, Logan.

The Sioux City Art Center celebrates a beautiful new exhibition of paintings and sculptures

by Andrew Langoussis.

The exhibition, Andrew Langoussis: What Was, Is and Will Be, will remain on display through April 24.

Much of Langoussis’ work has been inspired by his travels, particularly his many trips to Italy.

While he loves the ambience and beauty of Italy, he has noted the unusual collision between the art and architecture of the past in a place that is quite modern. It is an experience that we can have anywhere, where things from the past – whether they continue in their original function, exist with a new purpose, or have been abandoned – shape our current envi-

ronment.

Some of the artworks

by Langoussis bring together the subjects of earlier art historical periods, but places them in contemporary settings.

For example, the painting Street Noise features an indoor setting that includes windows and mirrors reflecting everything from a representation of God by Michelangelo flying above a skyline to Renaissance-era cherubs and the back of a contemporary man’s head – all painted with precision by Langoussis.

Other artworks pay homage to the physical remains of history by using the forms of architectural fragments as the basis for paintings.

Mating Pairs features painted images inspired

by wall paintings in ancient Pompeii, and the paint is applied onto a massive sculpture .

This exhibition is part of the Sioux City Art Center’s ongoing effort to bring the best work by upper Midwestern artists to Sioux City. The exhibition includes three paintings that were donated to the Art Center by Mr. and Mrs. Hubert H. Everist and the children of Margaret Ann Martin Everist.

The Sioux City Art Center is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.

For more information, please contact the Art Center at 712-279-6272, ext. 200 or www.siouxcityartcenter.org.

Anglers cautioned Piano students performed March 6 Anglers are being urged by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to exercise additional caution after four ice fishermen broke through the ice Saturday morning on a backwater of the Mississippi River in Allamakee County.

“This is has been a particularly unusual winter with periods of thawing and then re-freezing. The ice conditions are very unpredictable,” DNR Conservation Officer Bill Collins said.

The incident March 5 occurred at about 8 a.m. on Fish Lake, a backwater of the Mississippi River near New Albin.

An ATV pulling a trailer operated by Jeffry J. Kedrowski of Janesville, WI went through the ice along with two other adults and a juvenile. All four were able to escape the water and get to a nearby island where they started a fire to keep warm. New Albin Rescue was able to get to the island to provide assistance. All four were transported back to shore by airboats. No one required hospitalization.

Collins said an ATV and truck also went through the ice in the same area earlier this winter.

“I think we have been lucky no one has been seriously hurt in any of these incidents,” said Collins.

The Woodbine Twiner

March 9, 2011

Legals Beam blunder remains a sore spot in Modale MIKE BROWNLEE For The Twiner Tuesday is “Wing Night” at the Sour Mash Bar & Grille in Modale, but the crowd has thinned out lately.

Paul Marshall, who owns the bar with wife Tracy, explained the dip in sales with two words: “The bridge.”

The County Road 50 bridge at the Interstate 29 Modale exit has been closed since June 2010, meaning drivers from the south have to take a six-mile detour over a pair of gravel roads to reach town.

“I didn’t think it would affect us too much,” Marshall said, adding that many of his regular customers from Logan, Magnolia and elsewhere, “kept coming at first.”

“But the detour just became too much of a hassle.”

In June, the Iowa Department of Transportation closed the bridge to begin replacing the deteriorated concrete bridge deck, with the plan to leave the existing steel beams in place. According to the department, renovation completion was scheduled for October 2010.

However, during the deck removal process in June the project contrac-

tor, A.M. Cohron and Sons Inc. of Atlantic, set the saw depth incorrectly and partially severed the steel beams at several locations, the D.O.T. said.

The mistake set off a series of events that created a project delay that left many in the town of 300 chagrined.

First, the full extent of the mistake wasn’t known until deck removal was completed in September.

George Feazell, construction engineer with the District Four Iowa Department of Transportation office in Atlantic, said that after the mistake, the contractor decided to fully replace two steel beams, of which fabrication would take three months.

But fabrication was delayed because replacing the beams during winter weather was deemed ill advised.

In January, Feazell said, A.M. Cohron and Sons Inc. found a company that could cut steel beams to specification at the job site, meaning that instead of replacing two beams, the contractor would replace four affected sections of the existing beams.

Throughout the planning period following the beam cuts, the people of Modale were

given little, if any, information on bridge progress.

“They didn’t tell us anything,” said Joe Vittitoe, a Modale city council member. “Then for months there was nothing going on out there; we were told (the beams) were cut, and we saw nothing happening.

Then winter was here.”

On Feb. 22, a meeting was held by the D.O.T. for residents to ask questions and air grievances.

“One thing that I’ve been doing since we’ve discovered the damage to the steel beams is concentrating on the engineering aspect of the project, to make sure that repair is done properly and completely,” Feazell said. “Unfortunately, I neglected to keep the citizens in the surrounding community informed.

They didn’t have any information on the project and, unfortunately, that leads to speculation and rumors.

“At the meeting, I apologized.”

Feazell confirmed that work on the bridge is scheduled to begin around April 1, with the steel beams to be ready around May 1.

Completion of the project is expected by July 15.

“I wouldn’t put any money on that, I’ll put it that way,” said Connie

The County Road 50 bridge at the Interstate 29 Modale exit has been closed since June 2010, angering many residents of the small town.

Photo: Mike Brownlee Cleaver, owner of Memory Lane Studio in Modale. “I don’t give them any hope of keeping the schedule.

Especially if we have a rainy spring, there’s no way they’ll finish by the middle of July.”

Cleaver, like Marshall, has seen a dip in business since the bridge closed.

Susan Kirlin, owner of the Kirlin Iron salon, said that she’s been doing hair 25 years and had clientele from Omaha, Council Bluffs, Papillion, Neb., and elsewhere that followed her to Modale.

But with the bridge out for so long, they dropped her, she said.

Marshall said revenue on Tuesday and Wednesday - “Taco

Night” - is down about $100 to $200 each night.

“That’s directly because of the loss of those customers,” he said.

Of course, business owners aren’t the only ones feeling the financial squeeze. Those six extra miles have added up for commuters coming home to Modale from jobs in Council Bluffs, Omaha and other southern towns.

“Who reimburses the commuters and general public? (They’re) the ones who must endure the inconvenience, lost time and added expense,” wrote Modale resident David Bentsen, who’s spearheaded an information campaign about the bridge project, in a letter to Iowa legisla-

tors.

According to Feazell, his department provided the city of Modale with paperwork for any residents wishing to file a tort claim.

The anger in Modale remains, but Feazell is hoping it will soon abate. He’s shored up communication on the project, providing weekly updates that will continue until the project is complete.

“I lost sight of that aspect of the project: Keeping the people that are most affected by the delay informed about what’s going on,” he said. “We’ve corrected that.”

The Woodbine Twiner

Classifieds Memorial weekend campsites filling early in Iowa Campers began reserving sites last week for Memorial Day weekend and as of the morning of March 1 , 15 state park campgrounds had filled their reservable sites with electricity, and many more parks are nearly out of reservations.

“Campers are ready to get out there and those who are unable to get a reservation at the park of their choice should plan to arrive early in the week, and I mean by

Monday or Tuesday, if they what a walk-in campsite,” chief of State Parks for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Kevin Szcodronski said.

During the past year, the state parks reservation system underwent a major change including increasing the percentage of reservable sites at select state parks.

“We have at least 50 percent of our sites reservable at each park, but during the Web site

overhaul, we let the park staffs determine, based on campsite use, if the need was there to increase that percentage or not,” Szcodronski said.

He said, for example, the staff at Lake Anita kept its percentage at 50 while the staff at Lake Ahquabi increased the percentage to 75 and both park reservation sites are full for Memorial Day. In addition to Lake Anita and Lake Ahquabi,

parks with full reservations are Backbone, Black Hawk, George Wyth, Green Valley, Lake Macbride, Lake of Three Fires, Ledges, Lewis and Clark, Pleasant Creek, Prairie Rose, Springbrook, Viking Lake and Waubonsie.

The campground at Lake Geode is walk in only until further notice.

The Wilson Island campground will be walk in only for 2011, due to significant flooding in 2010 and the extensive

cleanup.

A listing of reservable percentages can be found online at p a r k s . i o w a d n r. g o v.

There is a link off that page to the reservation site. To go directly to the reservation page, go to http://iowastateparks.r eserveamerica.com.

Reservations can also be made through a call center 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Central Standard Time, Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

The new call center has retained the same tollfree number, 877-4272757.

The online reservation system is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Customers who have bookmarked the previous reservation system Web site will be redirected to the new site.

“We saw a lot of campsites go pretty quickly so our campers are getting familiar with the new system,” he said.

Thanks Coach I’d like to start off by thanking you wrestling fans for all the support through this season.

Once again the blessings of state were awesome, and getting there with all the further support through cards, gifts and acknowledgements made me realize I wasn’t just wrestling for myself and the team, but for the community. In years ahead I’ll be looking back to my high school days pleased to say that I was a part of the team when Dunlap joined our forces. I find this a credit to Coach Mentink in setting a foundation to build a better wrestling program for Woodbine. Interests have filtered down, through the Jr. High and into the elementary ...Wow what an accomplishment. Coaches come and go, but not Coach Mentink .......16 years Mentink has been building this wrestling program and I can say I am proud to be coached by this man and his passion for this sport. Who put the extra time in that no other coach would have. Coach Mentink....You are my idol. Some may ask me “What does it take to meet the success in making it to state? My answer .....Believe not only in yourself but also in your coach 100%. Thanks for the memories coach.

Preventative Maintenance for your car Many motorists bemoan the myriad costs associated with owning a vehicle. According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the average price for a new car in the United States is slightly more than $28,000. But as any vehicle owner knows, that sticker price is only the beginning. The cost of maintaining a vehicle and keeping it on the road is not exactly insignificant.

Drivers can lengthen a vehicle's lifespan by employing preventive maintenance that should keep a car running strong.

Air Filter When examining the vehicle's air filter (check the vehicle manual for location), look for dirt or dust buildup. If the filter is filthy, simply replace it.

Belts and Hoses Issues with belts or hoses are often recognizable to the naked eye, regardless of a driver's automotive skill. A belt that's worn or frayed should also be replaced.

Brake Fluid One of the more expensive repair jobs on a vehicle is to replace the brakes. Brakes will need to be replaced over the course of a vehicle's lifespan, but drivers should routinely check the vehicle's brake fluid. Check the brake fluid levels on a monthly basis.

Motor Oil Oil change guidelines have changed dramatically thanks to better cars and more reliable motor oils. But it still helps to check motor oil levels after every fill up.

Exhaust Once a year, be it at a routine tune up or should repair work be necessary, ask your mechanic to check the vehicle's emissions.

Failing an emissions test might be against the law, and a failed test could be indicative of a larger problem.

Power Steering Power steering fluid should also be inspected on a monthly basis. When checking power steering fluid, also inspect the pump for any leaks.

Tires Keeping tires properly inflated pays numerous dividends.

Properly inflated tires make it easier for the engine to operate, lowering fuel costs while also decreasing wear and tear on the engine. The owner's manual should list a recommended tire pressure, and the local filling station likely has an air pump.

Transmission Fluid When checking transmission fluid, do so while the car is running and after the engine has warmed up. Always be certain to put the parking brake on when checking transmission fluid. If the vehicle needs transmission fluid, add the recommended fluid but be careful not to overfill.
