Maj. Gen. Tim Orr, Adjutant General of the Iowa National Guard, left, presented Spc. Andrew Cohrs, Woodbine, with the Purple Heart medal he earned while part of the 2nd Brigarde Combat Team, 34th ID trip to Afghanistan.

Photo: Submitted NIKKI DAVIS Editor Spc. Andrew Cohrs, 24, Woodbine, was awarded the Purple Heart Jan. 7, at Camp Dodge, Johnston.

Cohrs, assigned to Company D, 1st Battalion, 168th Infantry, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry, Iowa Army National Guard, received the honor after he suffered a concussion from a multiple rocket-propelled grenade attack while attempting village assessments and a humanitarian aid drop in the village of Hasan Lgadah, Paktiya province, Afghanistan.

Cohrs was in the second vehicle of a five vehicle convoy that was ambushed at approximately 6:15 p.m., April 25, 2011, after completing

the humanitarian drop in Hasan Lgadah. Following the drop, the convoy was blocked from continuing by a rock slide blocking the roadway and were forced to take an alternative route. While traveling, the convoy was ambushed from approximately 400 meters west by around six to eight insurgents who were armed with AK47 assault rifles, PK machine guns and RPG grenade launchers.

Cohrs remembers hearing a gunner call out to men on the ridge line along the road where the convoy was attacked, before hearing small arms and RPGs being fired. The second vehicle in the convoy, which carried Cohrs and four other Guard members, was targeted by three RPGs, as well as machine gun and small arms fire. After the third hit from a RPG, See COHRS Page 6

Editorial New books in at the Woodbine Public Library

CHAMBER CONNECTION MAIN STREET OFFICE

Please Pledge, Shoot Woodbine to #1 Spot in Iowa Blue Zones Project: Woodbine Committed

W

e’re committed ... the application is submitted, accompanied by support letters from many community organizations and businesses. We’re proud of the inch-thick proposal the committee put together with input from many of you. Of the 58 communities in the state invited to apply, 54 submitted applications. That’s some stiff competition.

Now what? Wait until the 10th of February and hope we get a call for the next step? Nope. Right now we need you.

Now we need to show Woodbine is actively pursuing the ideals of the Blue Zones Project. We’ve always been a “can-do” community.

We need you to sign up at the online pledge site (see information below), or go find those families, friends, neighbors, coworkers and schoolmates who’ve not done so yet. If they don’t have an email address, let them use yours. Or even the Main Street email address (woodbinechamber@iowatelecom. net) works. No problem. According to the Blue Zones officials, that is just fine.

Woodbine is doing well in the community pledge standings. Right now we are in third place, behind Oelwein and St. Ansgar, but we can do even better, and now is the time to do just that. Thirty-five percent of our neighbors have pledged to upgrade Woodbine’s well-being. Endorsed by the governor’s office (the goal is to see Iowa become the healthiest state in the nation), 10 Demonstration Site Communities will be chosen in 2012. We need ALL of our citizens to vote for Woodbine. Just follow the instructions below!

Here’s how to join them: • Go to bluezonesproject.com or text BZP to 772937. You will see Woodbine’s current standings if you scroll down the page.

• Click on the “I’m A Citizen” Tab to sign up on the pledge form.

Towns that are chosen for the Blue Zones Project™ receive assistance from national experts. It could be a great opportunity for Woodbine families, so do your part to make our town a Blue Zones Community!

Another year beginning, and I am still not used to writing 2012. I guess that doesn’t matter.

Time doesn’t stop for anyone.

L

ast week at lunch, the ISU Extension staff had the pleasure of sitting with a stalwart gardener from Magnolia who was perusing his newly arrived issue of a seed catalog. Though, as with other leisure activities, it isn’t for everyone, gardening is a pleasure most folks in western Iowa can enjoy. For some, gardening is as simple as stopping at a local store in the spring and getting a sole tomato plant to transplant and that is that. But for others, the 2012 gardening season has been going for a long time. For instance, if you enjoy growing garlic or some freeseeding annual flowers like marigolds, calandulas or biennial hollyhocks, fall planting is (was) an option.

But many others are in the middle. If you have the interest and desire to manage the watering, temperature and light needed, you can start many garden plants that require a relatively long season or access unusual varieties of standard fare that are not likely to be produced as commercially available transplants. The biggest key is to research the requirements for each potential variety of vegetable or flower that you like, and meet those needs.

Seed catalogs are a long-time stalwart friend in the dark days of winter that are still available today. And many, if not most, are now accessible through the wonders of the internet! One to check out is www.freeseedcatalogs.com that shares some good sites. Just remember while many varieties you find will be good to grow regardless of where they come from, not all will be adapted. So check out the sites from New Brunswick, Florida, Oregon, etc., but keep in mind we live in the northern part of USDA plant

hardiness zone 5 (the zones were adjusted about 10 years ago). Much information can be gained by reading variety descriptions. If you find a variety you like, for instance, the tomato variety Black from Tula, search on the Web for ‘Black from Tula tomato’ for more information.

One site I particularly enjoy is the Seed-Savers Exchange (SSE) at www.seedsavers.org/ CatalogRequest.aspx. Founded in 1975 in Decorah, the SSE has a mission to save the diversity of heritage garden varieties in North America by collecting, conserving and sharing heirloom seeds and plants, and to educate people about the value of sharing. They have particularly interesting (to me) collections of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, beans, etc. along with fruit varieties from years past. They fund operations by sales of seed, donations and memberships. Even if you aren’t interested in planning for yourself, the website is a trove of information.

For more information, contact Rich Pope at the Harrison County Extension office at ropope@iastate.edu or (712) 644-2105.

To the Editor, I have personally experienced the excellent training of the Woodbine Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department. We should be so grateful for them and their work. I was so thankful to hear the siren of the truck so quickly after they were called to my house on Dec. 17, 2011. I had fallen and couldn’t get up because I had broken my femur bone in two places. My neighbor found me and called 911 and his wife called my oldest son who was to call his siblings and tell them what had happened.

I soon heard the siren of the rescue squad as it weaved its way through Woodbine. I recognized the driver and asked Lauren Cox if he was the only one who had come to pick me up. That might be a big task. His reply was, “Just watch me.” I thought, “OK. It is your problem and we will just see what you can do.” I closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I found 10-15 men there waiting to help.

Gently, very gently, I was rolled into this puffy, warm blanket. It was so

warm and I felt like I was being wrapped in someone’s huge arms and placed onto the cart on the count of three. Mr. Cox was in the back with me, and tried to make me as comfortable as he could, with as little pain as possible, as we headed for the Missouri Valley Hospital.

I want to take this opportunity to thank every one of the men who came to the scene of the accident ready to help where needed, the driver of the squad, friends and neighbors who came to assist in any way possible, the medical profession and those who brought in food after I got home and insisted that I eat something.

Sincerely, Lillian Landers

The truth about still births To the Editor, What would happen if a small plane crashed every day, in every state and if each crash claimed one-two lives? You can be certain the news media would be all over it, and the FAA would be frantically trying to figure out what happened and how to prevent it.

Stillbirth deaths occur every day in every state in this country – yet this tragedy remains, to many, a silent epidemic.

In Iowa, there are approximately 200 stillbirths each year. In the

United States, that number is 30,000, or about 82 per day. Worldwide, the number is much higher.

According to the World Health Organization, there are 2.6 million thirdtrimester stillbirths each year or approximately 7,200 per day.

More than 60 percent of those deaths occur after 28 weeks of gestation, close to half occur just before or during delivery.

Stillbirth claims more than 10 times the number of deaths caused by Sudden Infant-Death Syndrome.

The loss of a child is one of the most devastating events any parent can face, especially a mother. We delivered our third child, Melody Aurora, on Aug. 26, 2011. Two days prior we found out she was no longer with us. Her daddy got to cut the cord and her sisters got to meet her. I cherish photos I have and the time we spent with her.

Her funeral was Aug. 29; I should have been 20 weeks pregnant.

I am not writing today to ask for your sympathy, though the empathy and support we have received are beyond words. Until we lost our daughter, I had no idea the extent and depth of loss experienced by parents who lose a child.

In fact, there is no word in the English language to describe a childless-parent; the loss is simply too great. Today I ask for your support in changing a law and giving Iowa parents recognition for their stillborn children.

When a stillbirth oc-

curs, parents are required to file a death certificate and have a final disposition of the remains. The law acknowledges a person died; it does not, however, acknowledge a child was born. How can you die if you have never been born? The two are not mutually exclusive.

Yet mothers have experienced giving birth and families are grieving the loss of a child – but the law only acknowledges the death, not the birth.

Thirty-two states now offer a “Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth” – a birth certificate for families who lose a child to stillbirth. No, it does not bring a child back, but it does provide an acknowledgement that these children existed and mattered.

Unlike the death certificate, requesting a certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth is optional. And it’s retroactive – any parent who has suffered a stillbirth who has a fetal death certificate can file to receive a birth certificate.

A bill for Iowa is in the drafting stages and will soon be filed for this legislative session. I urge your support of this measure.

For more information and how you can help, visit our Facebook page, “Iowa’s Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth Legislation” or go to www.missingangelsbill.org Thank you Mandy K. Ford Clarinda (mother of three – two who walk and one who soars!)

Boy Scout program, was on the executive committee with RAGBRAI in 2008 and has been the Mayor of Missouri Valley since 2008. He humbly accepts recognition for his contribution of time and talent to the county, especially regarding the 2011 flood.

When asked why he has been so involved in the community, his response was simple.

“I truly believe community involvement is the first step in giving back to our community.

Each and every one of us has a civic responsibility to be involved: Voting, belonging to a civic organization(s), mentoring youth or serving on various boards or elected positions,” he said. “We all have a vested interest in Missouri Valley and surrounding areas. It’s up to us to work together to make it a better place.”

Sargent is married to Meg, and has two sons, Nathan and Tony. He enjoys staying up on current events, camping with his family and coin collecting.

“Work hard at what you do and give it your all. But don’t forget about the important things in life: Family, friends, spiritual growth, and community. Take time to slow down and enjoy life,” he said when asked if he has any important words to live by.

Proceeds from the Byways of Excellence Award Dinner will go towards the purchase of a #V60 Bi Pap/Non Invasive Ventilator unit for the hospital. To purchase tickets, or obtain more information, please call (712) 642-9213.

Don’t Play Politics with Your Investment Decisions While the election season heats up, you will hear more and more promises, claims and counter-claims from the candidates. As a citizen, you may or may not enjoy this “political theater,” but as an investor, you might be concerned over all the talk about taxes, Social Security, Medicare and other financial topics. Will you need to adjust your savings and investment strategies? If so, how?

Before you think about adjusting your investment strategy in anticipation of any actions coming from Washington, keep a couple of facts in mind.

First, few campaign promises become reality. And second, due to our system of government, radical shifts in direction are difficult to implement — which is why so few of them occur.

Still, we may see some smaller-scale — yet not insignificant — changes in the near future. In light of this possibility, what investment decisions should you make? Here are a few suggestions: Consider owning investments that are taxed in different ways. No one can predict what will happen with income tax rates or the tax rates that are applied to capital gains and dividends. Consequently, it may be a good idea to seek “tax diversification” by owning investments that are taxed in

different ways. For example, when you sell appreciated stocks, you pay capital gains taxes, whereas interest payments from bonds will be taxed at your individual tax rate. And it’s always a good idea to take advantage of tax-advantaged vehicles, such as an IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan.

Stick with quality. It’s a good idea, when owning stocks, to invest in quality companies with diversified businesses.

These companies are usually less dependent on a particular government program, and they typically have a global reach, so they may be better able to handle any changes implemented in Washington.

Stay focused on your longterm goals. Politicians come and go, and our political parties seem to take turns holding the reins of power. Yet your long-term goals — such as college for your children, a comfortable retirement and the ability to leave a legacy to your family — don’t really change.

By realizing that you are largely responsible for achieving your goals, and by following an investment strategy that’s suitable for your individual risk tolerance and time horizon, you can make gradual, but still meaningful, progress toward

those goals — no matter what’s happening in Washington.

Review your strategy regularly. With the possible approach of changes in tax policies and in government programs that can affect your retirement security, you’ll want to review your investment strategy regularly to make sure it’s still on track toward helping you meet your objectives. As part of this review, you may want to seek out more “taxsmart” investment opportunities, while always looking for ways to supply the asset growth you’ll need to enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned.

Aside from voting for the candidates who best represent your interests, you may not have much influence over what goes on in Washington. But by “electing” the right moves to help meet your goals, you can have plenty of control over your investment strategy.

2012 Legislative Outlook First Iowa confirmation of resistance to Bt Corn by Western Corn Rootworm The Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) will be working with Iowa lawmakers during the 2012 Legislative Session to promote policies and programs important to Iowa corn growers and to monitor any policy that could negatively affect farmers.

The following issues will be key ICGA state legislative priorities in 2012: Transportation Infrastructure - Iowa's roads and bridges in many areas are in desperate need of improvement, and funding to support Iowa's roads is currently not enough to meet the demand for maintenance of Iowa's road system. Iowa's Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) is funded by the 'fuel tax' and is constitutionally protected from diversions for other purposes.

Transportation infrastructure is essential for corn growers

and Iowa's economy. ICGA will be asking the legislature to support a fuel tax increase for road infrastructure.

Ethanol Infrastructure Iowa's Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Fund assists retailers in upgrading to E85, blender pumps or biodiesel.

The ICGA is committed to maintain or expand the Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Fund, including E15 and E85. This program provides an opportunity for retailers to upgrade their infrastructure through cost-sharing grants of up to 70 percent. ICGA will protect this program, and oppose any diversions of funding to other purposes besides renewable fuels infrastructure.

Regulation and Taxes Agriculture is a vital industry for Iowa's economy. One out of every six jobs in Iowa is

directly related to the agriculture industry. Agriculture can only remain vital in the state if it has reasonable regulations.

ICGA is in support of efforts to reduce or revise unnecessary and unworkable for the agriculture industry. Similarly, ICGA will work to protect the current tax law as applied to agriculture.

Environment - Iowa farmers have made measurable progress in conservation and water quality. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, farmers have increased soil conservation by 44 percent by using innovative methods and technology. In 2012, ICGA will promote voluntary water quality incentive programs and work to increase funding for conservation cost share which will help farmers introduce practices on their farms which will help to further reduce soil erosion and improve water quality.

Support for Iowa's Livestock Farmers - The ICGA is committed to a healthy Iowa livestock industry and works with other farm groups to make sure that legislation affecting livestock production is responsible, reasonable and science based.

Livestock is corn's largest customer, and a healthy livestock industry is essential to the Iowa economy.

Cry3Bb1 corn is sold commercially under the names YieldGard RW and YieldGard VT Triple. The publication also showed no cross-resistance with the Cry34/35Ab1 protein.

This research reports documentation of the first time a western corn rootworm beetle has evolved resistance to a Bt crop in the field. But maybe these findings are not a total surprise. The Bt proteins targeting corn rootworm are not considered high dose like they are for European corn borer. Additionally, resistant strains of western corn rootworm can be produced in a lab within three generations, which translates to three summers in an Iowa corn field.

Spc. Andrew Cohrs earns Purple Heart From COHRS Page 1 the vehicle pulled forward outside of the “kill zone.”

Cohrs, serving as a gunner, returned heavy fire with an M2 machine gun until the weapon began having difficulties feeding the ammunition.

Cohrs, along with PFC Joseph Stcyr, attempted to fix the malfunctioning weapon. While Cohrs was getting new rounds for the weapon, two grenades landed in front of the vehicle that hit the edge of the road. Cohrs dropped to the ground to protect himself and got back up as soon as possible to finish switching weapons. After he got back up, a grenade hit between his truck and the third truck in the convoy, and he began getting a migraine and seeing spots.

After that grenade struck, the second vehicle pulled out of the “kill zone,” about 75-100 meters, and Cohrs man-

ned the turret gun, while others in the convoy began firing 60 mm mortars at the enemy.

The mortar team fired a total of 11 rounds before the enemy retreated.

All men in the convoy, along with weapons and equipment, survived the attack, while one insurgent was killed, and two were possibly wounded.

Upon returning to base, Cohrs was evaluated by the medics, where it was made clear he had received a concussion from the rocket-propelled grenade attacks.

The decision was made to evacuate him to Salerno for care. Cohrs returned home to Woodbine, along with other members of his company, on July 20, 2011.

The incident happened during Cohrs’ second, military deployment.

Cohrs joined the Iowa Army National guard on May 12, 2005, com-

pleting basic training in the summer between his junior and senior year of high school. When he returned to Woodbine High School for his senior year, he was thrilled.

“I played in a lot of sports and was in the best shape of my life,” he remembered.

He graduated in May, 2006, and headed to Fort Benning to finish Advanced Individual Training (AIT), which was infantry.

“I always wanted to do infantry,” he admitted.

In June of 2007, he was deployed with the Delta Company to Camp Shelby before heading to Iraq. He returned home from his first deployment on April 30, 2008, four days before his 21st birthday.

His second deployment to Afghanistan, where he earned the Purple Heart, began in November, 2010.

Above, Andrew Cohrs hugs his aunt, Bev Ganzhorn, during a send off ceremony in Denison in 2007.

Harrison County Scholastic Clay Target Program in its infancy

IDNR State Conservation Officer David Tierney addresses Logan-Magnolia students regarding the Harrison County SCTP. Photo: Mary Darling From SCTP Page 1 information to most of the schools, West Har-rison, Woodbine, Miss-ouri Valley, and even met with the entire school at

Logan-Magnolia,” Tierney said. “Our goal is to have a team for several communities within the county, like one for Woodbine, one for Logan,

one for Missouri Valley and so on. But our ultimate goal to make the program part of the school’s curriculum. But we’re starting out small.”

In order to make information readily available, SCTP has set up an informational meeting for 7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 19, at the Logan Community Center. Those attending are asked to bring their gun safety certificate and parents and guardians are asked to stay.

“We need the parents to hear and understand what, exactly, we’re doing and what all will be involved,” Tierney said.

“We need to know how many people are interested.”

Though in its infancy in Harrison County, Tierney and other organizers turned to surrounding communities for help.

Harlan was a prime example, with Leland Kaufmann providing information and support.

Harlan’s program began through the FFA, which, according to Kaufmann, is how the program gained the support of the school.

“The kids in Harlan can actually letter in it through the FFA as an activity,” Kaufmann said.

“And, in Harlan, they can

compete almost every Saturday during the season that’s only one hour to an hour and half away, if they want. Last year, at the State competition in Iowa, more than 600 kids were involved.

In Nebraska, there were 1,100 in a day. This is growing in our part of the state.”

Kaufman also made it clear that while many view the sport as dangerous, it’s not.

“Everyone looks at guns and thinks it’s dangerous. But it’s not. I think it’s safer than football, basketball and many other school sports. It is very controlled,” he said.

“The FFA came out for their group to participate one year, with the school board members, and they couldn’t believe how organized it was. There was no horse play going on. It is controlled and safe. We don’t allow horseplay.”

And one of the best parts, according to Kaufmann, is it’s a sport every child can participate in.

“You will never sit on

the bench. It doesn’t matter if you’re a boy or girl, athletic or not athletic.

Anyone can compete,” he said. “That’s the good part about it. In this sport, you can make it what you want it to be. It’s a lifelong sport, too. One you can do the rest of your life.”

So with Kaufmann’s help and the partnerships involved, the program is on its way off the ground, seeking funding and seeking assistance.

“We understand this is an expensive sport between shells and protective gear, and we are currently seeking out funds and have received some donations,” Tiern-ey said.

“By March, we will have 12, certified assistants, but still would like more, including female role models. We encourage anyone interested in the sport, participant or assistant, to attend the informational meeting on Jan. 19.”

City Council moves forward on four TIF district resolutions Jan. 9; discusses nuisance abatement From COUNCIL Page 1 measure to approve the development agreement with council member Brenda Loftus seconding. The vote was unanimous.

The second TIF public hearing was for a sister building to the Artisan, Movers and Shakers, 63 Fifth St. The building was completed in 2011 for that year’s tax rolls.

The lifespan of the development agreement also is for 10 years, from June 1, 2013, to June 1, 2023.

The property owner will receive a tax rebate during the 10 years not to exceed $14,000.

Council member Jim Andersen brought the motion, with council member Nancy Yarbrough seconding.

The council approved the measure unanimously.

The Woodbine Alegent Clinic, 518 Lincoln Way St., was the subject of the third TIF public hearing. The building, which is owned by Woodbine Better-ment, will go on the tax rolls this year. The lifespan of the development agreement also is for 10 years, from June 1, 2013, to June 1, 2023. The property

owner will receive a tax rebate during the 10 years not to exceed $100,000.

Sherer abstained from voting on the Alegent Clinic agreement because he is a member of the Woodbine Betterment Board of Directors. The motion was brought by Loftus and seconded by Yarbrough. The vote was unanimous.

Lastly was the TIF public hearing to set the date for the Woodbine Industrial Park.

Currently, the district is set up for 25 years and will expire in 2016. The city is anticipating changing to an open ended date. Several cities have open-ended TIF agreements, but it is anticipated by Joe Gaa, city administrator, that the state may enact legislation this year to close those types of TIF agreements.

Gaa said the district is half developed with the goal of the TIF district to encourage more construction in and promotion of the park. The motion to set the public hearing date was made

by Yarbrough and seconded by Sherer. The council voted unani-

mously to set the date as 5 p.m., Monday, Feb. 6, at Woodbine City Hall.

All four public hearings were closed at 5:12 p.m.

The Woodbine Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the Industrial Park TIF proposal at its Jan. 17 meeting.

The council then considered a request by Andersen to lower the speed limit on Bus Brown Drive from 35 mph to 25 mph.

Andersen said he asked to have the issue on the council’s agenda due to complaints from residents about consistent speeding, mainly by employees of Tommy Gate.

Gaa suggested that the council wait until the new chief starts and let that person review the issue and offer suggestions. However, the council arrived at a consensus that the city should draft a letter to the management of Tommy Gate noting the concerns raised by residents before taking official action.

The council also revisited its nuisance abatement issues. The city

staff and council members noted progress at 23 Seventh St. Debris has been hauled away from the property and the garage has been dismantled and removed. A shed on the property is sound and has been sided to match the house. The yard also has been addressed.

The homeowner, Cathy Searcy, also has presented the city with a plan to have five larger points of concern – mainly to the house itself – completed by May 15.

The council agreed to the plan outline and will accept a final report on the property June 4.

The council members all noted that several community members have rallied to assist Searcy.

“They have really helped her out – they have made a big improvement,” Sherer said.

The council approved the plan – with staff recommendations on a fence on the property as well as removal or orderly storage of several vehicles — following a motion by Andersen and second by Loftus.

Following the vote,

Loftus suggested the city look at beefing up its junk ordinance to help prevent issues from getting to the nuisance abatement stage.

“We need a junk ordinance that would prevent some of this from getting too far along,” Loftus said. “There are properties that are an eyesore to the community.”

In other action, the council also: •Approved the 2012 Standing Committees and Mayor Protem, Yarbrough.

Andersen made the motion and Loftus seconded. The council vote was unanimous.

•Discussed the upcoming budgeting process. City staff has already provided worksheets to department heads and is gathering a list of priorities. The city will have results from department heads by the Jan. 23 meeting for review. The council will review the process on Feb. 6 with the numbers presented on Feb. 20.

City staff plans on a budget public hearing on March 5.

Noted that the Main Street Façade program had received an exten-

sion to complete its work to May 31. The extension was largely to accommodate some minor work on Walker Street and major exterior work to the Woodbine Public Library.

•Received an itemized list of annual expenses for the Woodbine Cemetery.

•Discussed the budget for the library and if there may be opportunities to save some money there as that board is building a healthy reserve fund currently.

•Proposed having a master set of keys for all city owned buildings.

Currently, the Woodbine Police Department does not have a key on file with the city.

•Andersen requested more information on the amount of fluoride in city water for a concerned resident.

The council voted on a motion by Sherer seconded by Loftus to go into closed session at 5:55 p.m. for personnel issues.

The next Woodbine City Council meeting will be Monday, Jan. 23, at 5 p.m. at Woodbine City Hall.

The meetings are open and the public is encouraged to attend.

The Tigers tallied 133 points to finish the day fourth, behind: Conference Champions Woodbury Central, 239; Logan Magnolia, 205; and Maple Valley-AnthonOto, 158. Finishing behind the Black and Gold were: OA-BCIG, 129; Ridge View, 117; Westwood, 102; Lawton-Bronson, 63; West Monona, 50.5; and Kingsley-Pierson, 40.

The Tigers walked away from the meet with one Conference Champion, Josh Matusik, 152, and one runner-up, Gavvon Shafer, 160. Two Tigers tallied third, Lucas Hedstrom, 120, and Mason Mentink, 145, one in fourth, Matt Monahan, 170, three in fifth with Tanner Hedstrom, 132, Malachi Mentink, 138, and Montana Winther, 182. Blake Barnum, 195, and Gabe Shafer, 220, rounded out the Tigers points with sixth place finishes.

Matusik went into the meet at 22-4, and walked away 25-4, with gold around his neck. The junior began his day with a bye and met with Lawton-Bronson’s Drake McArthur to begin his day, defeating the opponent with a 3:48 pin. Woodbury Central’s Schuyler Rilling gave Matusik a run for his money, with Matusik squeaking out a narrow win with a 6-5 decision to earn a chance on the championship mat

to end his day. MVAO’s Dylan Bailey didn’t prove to be as tough a challenge as Rilling, with Matusik winning the match with a 13-6 decision and the title of Western Valley Conference Champion.

Shafer worked his way through the ranks, as well, opening with a bye and making short work of LoMa’s Tanner Winther with a 46 second pin to open his meet. Shafer kept the momentum rolling against Westwood’s Beau Metcalf, and took a 1:11 pin before facing Brent Stickrod of OABCIG for the title of Conference Champion. Due to an early injury, Shafer took an injury default against Stickrod, handing over the title, but finishing as runner-up.

Finishing third, Lucas Hedstrom won his first match with a 1:10 pin, but lost in an 8-3 decision for a shot at the title. He wrestled back for a 3:40 pin an 4-2 decision to finish third. Mason Mentink also finished with third place laurels, opening with a 1:09 pin, but losing his second match in a 4-2 decision. He took his next two by decisions, 6-2 and 4-1, respectively, to finish third on the day.

Also opening with a pin was Monahan, in 4:15, but he fell in a 14-10 decision, knocking him into a battle for third through sixth. He won his next match in a 12-0 major decision before falling in 59 seconds ending his day in fourth.

Fifth place went to Tanner Hedstrom after

Josh Matusik, 152, finished as the Western Valley Conference Champion.

File Photo: Nikki Davis losing his first round in a 3:25 fall. He wrestled back, taking a 2:44 pin and a 100 major decision before falling by a three-point decision and taking a 3:29 pin to finish fifth. Malachi Mentink opened with a quick 46 second pin, followed by a 5:05 fall before losing in a 6-4 decision, followed by a 4:40 fall. He finished with a 7-4 decision to tally fifth on the day.

Winther opened with two byes, and fell in a first period pin, followed by a 3:53 fall. A small weight class allotted him the third place finish.

Barnum and Gabe Shafer tallied sixth after a rough day of wrestling.

Barnum opened with a bye, but fell in 40 seconds to begin his day. His next loss was by a 9-5 decision, followed by a 1:30 fall.

Gabe Shafer saw a similar day, beginning with a 40 second fall, followed by a 14 second fall and ending with a 1:36 fall.

Also competing for

Woodbine were Alex Whiteing, 106, and Ian Brown, 113.

“We had a descent weekend. I don't think our wrestlers know how close they are, or how close our team is, to being ‘Upper Level!’ We are so close to being great. However, many of the individuals think the gap is way to great when in actuallity it is just a sliver of difference,” Head Coach Matthew Mentink said.

“When they do what we tell them to do, they look great. When they do things undisciplined, we are just average. In the next two weeks, we have to become way more explosive and tenacious from neutral with our takedowns and 100 times more explosive from bottom getting to our feet and getting our one escape. If our kids can do those two things we will be putting ourselves in a position to win against any wrestler and against any team.”

Tigers take 66-46 loss to Bulldogs Doiels, Andersons named Byways Chairs

Jameson Delaney looks for his next move Jan. 13 in Dunlap. Delaney led the team in points with 13.

Photo: Nikki Davis Jan. 13 Boyer Valley: 66 Woodbine: 46 The Woodbine Tigers Boys Basketball Team struggled Jan. 13 in Dunlap against a larger Boyer Valley team, losing in a 66-46 contest on the road.

“Offensively, everyone did well,” Woodbine Head Coach Kyle Bartels said. “But we were playing a team that had three

players that were 6-4, and that makes it hard to score when you don’t match up well.”

Bartels believes it was the last two minutes of the first half that served as the team’s turning point in the game. With a tight game after the first quarter, with the Tigers up by one at 12-11, the second quarter turned devastating for the team.

“We got outscored 14-4

in the last two minutes of the first half, putting us down by 18 at half time,” Bartels said. “If you take the last two minutes of the first half out of our game, it was a totally different ball game.”

Leading in points for the Tigers was Jameson Delaney with 13. Delaney was followed by: Sam Powers, 11; Davis Hackman, eight, Drew Radloff and Levi Brown, five; and Jay Radloff, four.

Aside from leading in points, Delaney led in steals with six and assists with four. Hackman also added four assists for the team while Drew Radloff managed four steals, and lead in blocks with two and rebounds with eight, seven defensive and one offensive.

Though the Tigers took the loss, he sees what he wants to see coming from his team.

“Our team just needs to put a full game together. I think we played really well on defense again, and did well on offense,” he said. “And our guys never give up. They haven’t all year, and I don’t think they will.”

Sports Lady Tigers drop two: Preparing for Conference Tourney Tigers fall to Ar-We-Va

Bailee Meyer goes for the shot Jan. 13 against the Boyer Valley Bulldogs.

Photo: Nikki Davis Jan. 13 Boyer Valley: 10, 21, 9, 10: 50 Woodbine: 11, 13, 8, 11: 43 The Woodbine Lady Tigers played a solid offense Jan. 10, but the shots just didn’t fall, leaving the Lady Tigers with a loss to county rival and neighboring Boyer Valley, 50-43. Boyer Valley, starting with five seniors, forced a few of the Lady Tigers into some second quarter errors, giving the Bulldogs the edge on the night, although the Lady Tigers continued the fight, keeping the score tight all night.

“As a team, we did great pushing the pace so Boyer Valley’s zone couldn’t set up right, and we got the ball into the hands of our scorers for good, open hooks,” Woodbine Head Coach Ryan Coenen said. “Unfortunately, it seems like there was a lid on the hoop, as we had a lot of quality perimeter shots not fall.”

Sophomore Paige Hackman was a key player for the Lady Tigers, leading in points with 15

and pulling in an impressive 13 rebounds on the night. Shelby Hall and Alyssa Blum added nine points each, with Hall adding seven rebounds and leading in steals with six. Blum added three steals and three assists.

Other points earners were: Melissa Sherer, five; Shelby Behrendt, four; and Allison Lee, one.

“Shelby Hall did a great job pushing the pace all night. We told the girls going in that we’d have to really push the intensity level up if we wanted a chance in the fourth quarter against a good Boyer Valley team,” Coenen said. “We had a few mental mistakes in the second quarter, but we responded well and forced Boyer Valley to play a style of basketball I don’t think they wanted to play.

Anytime you can get 15 steals, you know your team was putting up some pressure.”

Coenen believes the team did a good job and is beginning to show some confidence.

“I was proud of our effort on defense. We did a

great job executing the game for the most part. I think the fans are starting to enjoy seeing games where what we did in the fourth quarter matters,” Coenen said. “We’re starting to find a bunch of girls that are playing with a lot less fear now. They’re playing with some confidence on the offense that they won’t make a mistake every time they touch the ball – and we’re getting closer playing defense with a little swagger, which you’ve got to have if you want to play full-court pressure D. We’re showing we can be competitive with the midlevel teams. Hopefully, we’ll be in enough of them here at the end of the year that we’ll see a couple with us on the other end of it.”

The Tigers battle West Monona and Charter Oak Ute for their last, two conference games prior to the Conference Tournament.

“We hope that we can continue playing with confidence and give the home crowd something to be excited about in their continued support,” Coenen said.

Jan. 10 Ar-We-Va: 24, 21, 18, 21: 84 Woodbine: 2, 9, 8, 16: 35 The Lady Tigers were defeated in an 84-35 contest against the Ar-We-Va Rockets on the road, Jan. 10.

“The first quarter got pretty ugly for us as we scored our lone points as the buzzer sounded,” Woodbine Head Coach Ryan Coenen said. “We just had a really hard time handling the pressure of their guards with their matchup zone.”

Shelby Hall was highest points earner for the Tigers with eight. She was followed by: Melissa Sherer, seven; Alyssa Blum, six; Shelby Behrendt, five; Allison Lee, three; and Megan Maaske, Paige Hackman and Bailee Meyer, two.

Sherer, blum, Hall and Lee all sunk a single threepointer on the night.

“Melissa put in one of her best overall performances of the year. She was efficient with her shots, scoring seven on five attempts,” Coenen said.

Hackman and Hall each garnered two steals on the night and Meyer led in rebounds with six.

“I was really disappointed with our team’s effort to defend the paint.

We are trying to become a team that takes pride in playing solid defense, but

we just couldn’t find five girls that wanted to play at the intensity level needed to stay competitive with a very talented ArWe-Va team,” Coenen said. “But I was really impressed with the play of Allison and Shelby Behrendt. It was really nice seeing Behrendt’s athletic presence back after missing her against Whiting. And Allison gave us more quality minutes on Tuesday than we’d seen out of her since before the break.”

Dec. 20, 2011 Woodbine: 10, 14, 7, 13: 44 Logan-Magnolia: 11, 13, 4, 7: 35 The Lady Tigers brought their offensive team out to play against county rival and neighbor, Logan-Magnolia, Dec. 20, 2011, at home, walking away with a 44-35 victory.

“For the first time this season, the girls ran through their options on offense and didn’t force bad shots,” Head Coach Ryan Coenen said.

Paige Hackman led in points with 10, and tallied 10 rebounds and five steals on the night. Alyssa Blum followed in points with nine, adding three steals. Other points contributors were: Shelby Hall, seven; Shelby Behrendt, five, Melissa Sherer, four, Allison Lee, three, and Bailee Meyer, Megan Maaske and Emily Schmidt, two. Maaske and Hall added four steals throughout the game and Sherer led in rebounds with an impressive 11.

The turning point of the game, according to Coenen, came when Hall fouled out in the fourth quarter with four and half minutes left on the clock, and freshman Maaske was inserted as the team’s backup point guard.

“Our team responded with playing more pressure on defense and did a great job of taking care of the basketball late in the game,” Coenen said.

“Megan has seen a lot more action than she probably dreamt of coming into the season, but she, and the rest of our girls, did a great job of stepping up and taking control of the game in the final minutes to ensure the victory. That’s the first, close victory this team has had as a unit, and we hope to see more of them in the future.”

Coenen attributed part of that to the team’s conditioning, stating they have worked hard in practice on a daily basis.

Rockets in 66-59 contest Jan. 10 Ar-We-Va: 66 Woodbine: 59 The Woodbine Tigers lost a close game to the Ar-WeVa Rockets Jan. 10 on the road in Westside, 66-59.

“The turning point in our game was the fourth quarter,” Head Coach Kyle Bartels said. “Our shots were not falling for us, and Ar-We-Va couldn’t miss. They outscored us 21-12 in the fourth, and that was the key to the game. They did what they had to do to win, and that was make key shots down the stretch.”

Drew Rodloff was on his game for the Tigers against the Rockets, leading in points and rebounds, sinking 20 points and pulling in 10 rebounds, all while managing half of the team’s 10 steals on the night. Other points leaders included: Davis Hackman, 19; Jay Radloff, eight; Sam Powers, six; Seth Willis, four; and Jameson Delaney, two. Contributing to the team’s 30 rebounds on the night were: Jay Radloff, seven; Delaney, six; Powers, three; Willis, two; Hackman, one.

“Offensively, I thought Drew and Davis had an outstanding game. Both players stepped up and carried our team when we needed someone to do it. We attacked well on offense. The only thing we need to work on is our three-point shooting. One of these games we will shoot better than 35 percent and we are going to score a lot of points when that happens,” Bartels said.

During the game, only two players sunk three-pointers. Drew Radloff hit one-of-three while Hackman hit only one-of-seven. Willis tried eight times, Delaney, four, and Levi Brown, two, all to no avail. The team only sunk two of 24 attempts.

“And I thought we had a great defensive effort from our whole team. We had one, two minute time at the end of the game when things didn’t go our way on defense and we had no control of that. Our guys played outstanding again on the defensive end, doing exactly what we teach them to do game in and game out.”

Overall, Bartels was impressed and surprised by ArWe-Va’s defensive play, but plans on being prepared for the next face-to-face.

“The defense that Ar-We-Va played surprised me,” Bartels admitted. “But I’m learning with the players as the season goes on. We will learn from this game together and move forward. I know we will play Ar-We-Va again, and we will be ready for them.”

The team faces Oakland-Riverside for a 3 p.m. contest on Saturday, Jan. 21, on the road and Conference play begins on Monday, Jan. 23.

Jan. 12 at Tri-Center Quadrangular Guthrie Center Loss, 43-31 The Woodbine Tigers Wrestling Squad was back at Tri-Center in Neola, Jan. 12 for a Quadrangular with Guthrie Center, TriCenter and Riverside, tallying one dual win and two losses on the night.

The first dual found the Tigers facing the Tigers of Guthrie Center, with the Tigers of Woodbine losing 43-31.

Tri-Center Loss, 49-18 The Tigers saw a rough dual against the Tri-Center Trojans, losing in a 49-18 contest.

Gavvon Shafer put his best foot forward to open the dual for the Tigers, taking a 1:19 pin to put Woodbine on the scoreboard first. Following his quick pin was a quick fall as Monahan fell in 59 seconds. Peterson tried to revive the Tiger’s hopes by taking a 4-2 decision, but was followed by a 44 second fall from Barnum to push the Trojans ahead, 12-9. Gabe Shafer battled to get the Tiger’s ahead, taking a third period pin, to push Woodbine back ahead, 15-12.

However, an open weight class, followed by a series of losses, made

the win improbable.

Whiteing fell in 48 seconds, followed by a major decision loss from Brown, 10-1. Meeker fell in 1:52.

The only other victorious match during the dual came from Lucas Hedstrom, who won in an 11-5 decision, the score standing at 34-18 after his win.

Riverside Win, 54-30 The Tigers fought back in their final dual of the night, with many grapplers taking pins, contributing to the team’s sole dual win on the night against Riverside, 54-30.

Opening was Monahan with a 33 second pin, followed by Montana Winther, 182, with a 57

second pin. An open weight class for Woodbine at 195 put the Bulldogs on the board, but Riverside’s six points were followed by two more Tiger pins from Barnum in 1:08 and Shafer in 50 seconds.

Whiteing and Brown both fell to their Riverside opponents, Whiteing in 3:01 and Brown in 17 seconds, adding 12 more to Riverside’s score.

Rudd fell in the final match of the evening for Woodbine, in 1:38, leaving the Tigers with a 5430 dual win over Riverside.
