KEVIN BROWN General Manager Mindy Crook, representing property owners on Walker Street, and Debra Sprecker, director of the Woodbine Main Street-Chamber of Commerce, presented an overview of a Challenge Grant proposal to the Woodbine City Council at its regular meeting Nov. 21.

Sprecker told the council the Challenge Grant has been submitted to the state and is for rear façade work on buildings at 505, 509 and 511 Walker Street (the Odd Fellows building,

the former Twiner building, now Artisan, and The Bakery building).

The Artisan building is the focal point of the grant project.

The work shows building improvements, outdoor artwork and live plant landscaping, along with additional green space near Farmer’s Trust and Savings Bank.

The council received the presentation as informational and agreed to sign a resolution in support of the project.

In other action, the council: • Received a report and a letter of thanks See COUNCIL Page 6

The above sketch shows one, possible idea to improve the rear façades of the buildings at 505, 509 and 511 Walker St.

GWTA’s Family of the Year NIKKI DAVIS Editor

Andi Thomsen and Jackie Thomsen, of Thomsen Chiropractic, went all out for the “Bright Lights, Little City” lighted parade in 2010.

NIKKI DAVIS Editor If you’ve made a list, Santa will be available to check it twice during the “Bright Lights, Little City” Christmas in Woodbine celebration on Friday, Dec. 2.

Santa, along with his wife, Mrs. Claus, will be waiting for anxious list bringers from 4:30-8 p.m. at Morrison’s Timekeepers building, with decorating help from official elves on the Main Street Promotions Committee.

However, Santa and his helpers will be taking a

break to lead the annual “Lighted Parade,” which will head south down Main (Walker) Street at 6 p.m. Float participants are asked to line up beginning at 5:15 p.m. at the corner of Walker and Sixth Streets with judging to follow at 5:50 p.m. Lighted Parade float winners are vying for two $50 Woodbine Dollar awards.

But the family fun doesn’t end there. Bright Lights, Little City 2011 will be packed full of action for the whole family.

The Ministerial Association’s Cookie Walk will be from 4:30 p.m. until there’s no cookies left See CHRISTMAS Page 6

The letter to the Nebraska Gold Wing Touring Association from Chapter Z nominating Tom and Judy Erlewine for the GWTA Family of the Year pretty much says it all.

Not only is the couple active within Chapter Z, they are active in their community: Woodbine.

The letter tells the story of their personal life.

Tom drives a truck for Hill Bros and Judy has owned her own cleaning business for 25 years and driven a school bus for the Woodbine Community School District for the last five. The couple have four children and seven grandchildren, plus a 12-year-old niece who has resided with them since her mother passed away when she See GWTA Page 6

Community of Christ’s new addition

finally coming to fruition.

“Ten years ago, we were talking about and exploring our opportunities and options to outreach to kids,” Community of Christ Church Pastor Noel Sherer said. “And I remember my sister, Julie Newton, proposing an activity center or gym type of building. We also considered other options, but decided this would be a way to build on the programs we

already have and the potential to expand to some areas we’d like to have in the future.”

The need was apparent to Sherer, who mentioned a typical gathering of the junior and senior high youth group can tally up to 50 students.

In addition to the youth group, the Community Bible School is often hosted by Community of Christ.

Editorial Just things that make me go, “Hmmmmmm...”

CHAMBER CONNECTION MAIN STREET OFFIC

Punch it, Win and Spend Quick

W

alk around the Main Street District, shop, snack, dine, turn in a filled punch card for a chance to win a part of the $1,000 Woodbine Dollars drawing, and generally become filled with the spirit of the Holiday Season ... not a bad gig, huh? It’s all on the agenda for “Bright Lights, Little City” Christmas In Woodbine sponsored by the Woodbine Main Street-Chamber and directed by the Promotions Committee.

There are just a few details to note, the most important being the Woodbine Dollars have a short shelf-life! At midnight on Dec. 2, they will “selfdestruct.” Nothing very sinister, or spy-like about the expiration ... no puffs of smoke or melt-downs.

It’s just simply a way for the only good from 5 p.m. to midnight dollars to give our Main Street district and business retailers a little Woodbine Dollar boost, meanwhile getting everyone in the “shop ‘til you drop” December groove.

The punch card promotion for the “Bright Lights, Little City” Christmas In Woodbine event is a winner for everyone: All ages are eligible to win and each may fill out one punch card that goes in the drawing for the $25 and $50 envelopes. If you punch ALL SEVEN spots, you’re in for the $50 pots.

If not, don’t despair ... SIX spots punched still allows you to win a $25 Woodbine certificate.

There will be drawings at 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Friday evening. The lucky winners’ names will be posted on Christmas Trees at the participating seven punch card stops. Someone from the Promotions Committee will be staffing the pick-up spot at the Main Street Station until 8 p.m.

Where are the punch stops? Well, this year you will find punch cards along Walker Street at Woodbine Antiques, Everything Ellen, Hometown Hardware, the Gift Mall at the Senior Center and the Ministerial Association’s traditional Cookie Walk at the Main Street Station, plus around the corner on Fifth Street there’s a punch card stop at the newly rehabbed Movers & Shakers building.

The Movers & Shakers gang will host an Open House during the Christmas in Woodbine event. It’s a great opportunity to tour the historic, turn-of-thecentury building now hosting Woodbine Martial Arts, Step In Time and various exercise classes. The old building has undergone a top to bottom remodeling and it’s a wonderful addition to the retail and services offered in the Main Street District.

Take some time to go downtown this Friday evening, sip some hot chocolate, wave at the lighted floats, visit with Santa, visit with friends. And if you see someone’s name you know on the Winners’ Tree who might have gone home, give them a neighborly call: “Better get down here QUICK and pick up your Dollars at the Main Street Station! They (poof) expire at midnight.”

I

am writing this column just before the Thanksgiving holiday. Lately, I have been thinking about things that make me go “hmmmm” in my head. This can be either a good thing or a bad thing or a “why in the heck is this guy even thinking this” thing.

I thought I’d share some of those personal epiphanies with you.

Why do Americans – or anyone in our newly global world of free trade – need a Ford Escort that can parallel park itself? Is this really technology I can use – or a gimmick to make an Escort cost a couple of thousand more to own?

Why is it that when demonstrators stake out a square in Egypt, Syria or Tunisia – that is an example of democracy in action worth protecting by threat of the full force of U.S. military might yet in America, similar peaceful demonstrators are forcibly removed and pepper sprayed? Isn’t this an American expression of democracy in action – even if it is uncomfortable to some?

And, we then wonder why our power and influence is falling on the world stage. Can you say what is fair for the goose is fair for the gander?

Why do Republican candidates seem to think that the louder they speak in a debate, the more likely I am to vote for them? It isn’t working.

The same goes for crying. Really? A presidential candidate crying is a keeper because…? Do you think the Russians believe that Putin cries or that they even care? Seems less than presidential to me.

Jobs – why are no candidates talking about jobs?

That is what I – and most of America — want to hear about in a debate. The word jobs followed by a plan of action.

Speaking of action – or rather inaction – anyone surprised that the “Super Committee” in Washington has failed to reach a compromise on how to control our spiraling debt? Not much of a “super” committee, huh?

Where is the “hope” the Obama candidacy was supposed to bring? I get times are tough and he inherited a mess – but it appears only the super wealthy have much hope in this country. The rest of us – still trying to figure out this brave new world.

Each year, workers in this country show tremendous gains in productivity. Yet, no pay rises for those actually producing the gains. Does that really seem like an America that is on the right track? An America where “producers” are rewarded?

Why does the national news think I really care – as part of my early morning NEWScast – what hot new outfit Paris Hilton is wearing or who Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter actor) is dating or what new dish Martha Stewart is creating? Sorry – that’s not news. Never has been, never will be.

Nancy Pelosi? What is up with her? Not a positive role model. A person of the people – who exempts herself from insider stock trading deals that would have the rest of America rotting in a prison cell somewhere. Of course, that same thing can be said about anyone in the Senate or House of Representatives — but she defends it with a smile on her face.

KEVIN BROWN GENERAL MANAGER kevin.brown@woodbinetwiner.com

Penn State – exactly what does it take to get those people’s focus off of football? All I hear about the sad events there always comes back to football.

And, isn’t that what started that scandal in the first place – a misplaced belief that the football program could do no wrong and the institution itself was more important to protect than kids? Makes you think.

And, corporations ARE PEOPLE. Really? When was the last time you invited IBM over for beers and poker? Corporations may be made up of people, but a corporation does not have a Social Security card, it does not have a registered birth date complete with baby footprint and it certainly doesn’t marry or visit grandma in Dubuque for Christmas. And, let’s face it; we learned in “The Wizard of Oz” – you have to have a heart. A corporation doesn’t.

Remember in one of the first presidential debates, several in the audience actually applauded that “a fictional American” who couldn’t afford health insurance should be allowed to die? Really?

Applauded? Is that how callous we have become in this country? I’m a fiscal conservative – and I still think all Americans deserve the same level of care as our dysfunctional politicians. I assure you, if our politicians didn’t have the princely “insurance and pension” benefits for life they now enjoy (for their solid performance of running our country – see super committee above) you would see a much more comprehensive, less expensive and more holistic health and pension system in this country.

Remember the story about the elderly Iowa couple that were involved in a terrible auto accident and died holding hands in the hospital? Doesn’t that kind of commitment, love and faith cancel out everything above? Doesn’t that single example – and Iowa example mind you – exemplify what is still right in this country? What is right about living a proud but humble life? On knowing what is important – and it isn’t dollars, gold or a tanker full of $3.30 gasoline?

For, as much as there is wrong now in the world – greed, corruption and blind faith in institutions of all types – isn’t it good to know the vast majority of Americans DO know what is right, what is good, what is faithful, what is spiritual and what is – dare I say it – moral?

And, the vast majority of those people do all of that on $40,000 a year, driving a six-year-old Chevrolet, and laughing at reruns of “All in the Family.”

Just random things that make me go hmmmm.

A long winter’s sleep E O I love the change in seasons! Yes, after scooping the seven bajillionth snow deposit on the sidewalks and enduring subzero winds, it can begin to get a tad old; I still appreciate winter. And other things do as well, or at least have developed methods to cope, with or at least survive, the cold days and short nights.

Anyone who has tried to propagate favorite plants or try to grow things from other regions has likely experienced the old ABC Wild World of Sports syndrome: “The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.”

The natural world is full of all sorts of tricks to guarantee different species’ survival from year to year.

Have you ever noticed some seeds you harvest to keep over for the next year struggle to grow if they grow at all? Of course, the seed may not be viable for a variety of reasons, but more often than not, that species has built-in mechanisms to ensure the seed germinates when the new plants are most likely to survive. All annual plants depend on seed production as the sole way to keep it going from year to year. That explains part of why annuals like pigweeds, foxtails, crabgrass, etc. and biennials like mullein, bull and musk thistle produce so much seed; it is an insurance policy in that more seed means a better chance of

some plants making it next year. Perennials do have a few other options to survive until the next year because they live and flower multiple years so they usually produce less seed per year. But aside from sheer numbers, those clever plants have other built-in strategies to get through.

I am mostly talking about dormancy. The word dormancy comes from the Latin word for sleep, and that is what the plants do. The seed has processes that allow it to sleep until the right conditions or timing allows it to grow. True, some plants have seed that can germinate immediately, but if you shed seed as it ripens in September and it sprouts right away, it often isn’t ready to shut down for the winter … not a good survival plan. Many have mentioned the flooded plains along the river did not have much, if any, weed growth this fall – that is the primary

thing going on. Either the seed there hasn’t gone through a required rest period before it is ready to germinate, or the day-length is shortening, instead of lengthening (in the spring), or some other mechanism is at work. There is plenty of seed there, but it is laying a-wait for better times next year. On the other side of that, some botanists are anticipating seeing unusual plants on the sandy deposits next spring that are plants that need just those inundation conditions to come forth.

One trick for people who harvest seed with the intention of planting success next year is to mimic winter. If plants normally shed seed in the fall when you gather

seed, just copy Mother Nature: Store the seed in an unheated area so the seed vernalizes (gets winter conditioned).

Protect it from vermin feeding on it, but wrap it up and place it in a refrigerator, freezer or even unheated outbuilding so it gets a fake winter. Some species may benefit from a combination of moisture and cold. For those, putting the seed in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel, and letting it experience cold for a month or so may dramatically increase germination.

CRAIG REYNOLDS A Celebration of Life for Craig Reynolds was Nov. 22 at Arbor Manor Center in Salt Reynolds Lake City, Utah.

Craig, age 64, passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 18, 2011. He was born Oct 3, 1947 in Logan, to parents Jim and Donna Reynolds of Woodbine. He was preceded in death by his father, Jim. On Oct. 31, 1970 he was ‘tricked or treated’ when he married Carol Mullenix . After residing in Woodbine for a couple of years, Craig and Carol

moved to West Jordan, Utah.

Craig’s younger years were spent between Iowa and Oregon doing various jobs but settling in the seat of a ‘big rig’ where he then continued his career of a self-employed truck driver for more than 30 years, even working on the Alaskan pipeline for two years.

Craig loved his family and friends more than anything else. He always looked forward to his annual trips with his brothers to the dirt track races in Knoxville, watching Sunday Nascar with family and friends, had a special passion for the fishing derby at the ‘Gorge’ and hunting trips at ‘Twelve Mile’ with “Otto,” great friends and family.

Craig beamed from ear to ear when his grandchildren walked in the door. Whether it was eating “Dough Gods” (his nickname for pancakes) or watching the “Mag Cakes,” (Kiana’s word at a young age for Magpies), he truly enjoyed spending quality time with them and was looking forward to becoming a great-grandpa.

Craig had a special saying for everything and a nickname for everyone.

He is survived by his wife Carol,“Bean,” daughters, Tina “Kid” and fiancé, John Lettig, Teri “Thing” and husband, Justin Scheithauer, along with four grandchildren. Anthony, better known ‘at the office’ as “Bam Bam” or “Bud,” as he got older, Tauni, “Taun Taun,” Kaden, “Doogie Boy” and Kiana , “Pookie.” He was soon to be a great-grandpa to Preslie.

Also survived by his mother, Donna and three siblings; big sister, Judy; and husband Hal Sexton, of Columbus, Miss.; two racing buddy brothers, Ken and wife Ann, Eric and wife Ellen all of Omaha, Neb. Craig leaves numerous extended family and close friends.

All members are high school juniors, other than Kira who is Conni’s elementary aged grand-daughter.

They sing Christian music

and perform several times a year at churches in the surrounding area and have performed at the Museum of Religious Arts and the Monona County Historical Museum, Onawa.

The group will perform at 1:30 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 4, followed by a door prize give-away and refreshments. A special fee will be asked for this event with nonperishable items going to the Harrison County Food Pantry.

The Museum of Religious Arts is at 2697 Niagara Trl., Logan.

Museum hours include 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays.

Betts attends National Interpretation Workshop Environmental educators, naturalists and park interpreters from across the country gathered in St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 8-12, for the National Association of Interpretation Workshop.

Harrison County Conservation Board Naturalist Connie Betts was one of 56 members of the Iowa Association of Naturalists who received scholarships to attend the workshop.

Presenters and attendees shared new ideas, talents and examples of actions to enhance existing programs and develop new methods to engage families, schools and other groups in natural resource education and recreation.

“Thanks to a REAP Conservation Education Program/Iowa Association of Naturalists Scholarship, I was able to benefit from experiences and ideas of the presenters and other workshop attendees from across the U.S. and Canada.

These sessions will help

me improve the outdoor education and recreation opportunities we provide for area residents and visitors,” Betts said.

Iowa’s Resource Enhancement and Protection Program provides funding to public and private partners for natural and cultural resource projects, including water quality, wildlife habitat, soil conservation, parks, trails, historic preservation and more. The Iowa Association of Naturalists promotes education about natural and cultural environments.

For more information about the environmental education opportunities in Harrison County, contact Harrison County Con-servation Board at 647-2785 ext. 12 or cbetts@harrisoncountyparks.org.

City Council heard report on rear façade Challenge Grant proposal for three Walker Street buildings Nov. 21 From COUNCIL Page 1 sent to the City of Harlan and the Harlan Police Department from Michael Jensen, a Woodbine Police officer.

Harlan loaned the department a drug-sniffing dog that was used Nov. 16 at Woodbine High School and also around random vehicles parked in public right of ways. Jensen reported the dog discovered no suspicious substances.

The search took about an hour, was free to the department and it was the first time this type of

search had been used in Woodbine. The council accepted the information and indicated the program is one that, with Harlan’s assistance, should be continued.

• Affirmed two decisions on garage projects that were acted on by the Board of Adjustment.

The first is for a garage expansion at the home of Bob and Cheryl Smith, 709 Ely St. The expansion is larger than allowed by city code. The second is for a new garage being constructed north of Eleventh Street on prop-

erty owned by John and Myra Kerger. The garage also is larger than allowed by code. Neither the board nor the council had received any public input prior to the meeting from adjacent property owners. Both projects were approved.

• Accepted the monthly budget report as informational from city staff. Council member Nancy Yarbrough added residents should keep in mind a portion of the 1 percent local option sales tax they spend in Woodbine goes to fund

street repairs. “The more we spend in Woodbine, the more we have for street repairs,” she said.

• Received an update from City Administrator Joe Gaa on the Police Chief search effort. Five applicants were on file as of Nov. 21, with the closing date of Nov. 23. A special meeting was set for 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 28, to review all the applicants and to choose finalists. The council also will provide an annual review of the city administrator.

• Okayed three

appointments to the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission.

There are seven members on the commission.

Mayor William Hutcheson reappointed Francis Harper, 1209 Normal St., to a five-year term. To replace Jim Boeck, 1110 White St., who did chose not to continue, the mayor named Mark Wester-meyer, 810 Lincolnway St., to a fiveyear term. The mayor also named Mary Poe, 708 Ely St., to replace her husband, Max, for the remainder of that unex-

pired term. That term will expire in 2012.

• Announced the annual Employee Appreciation Dinner will be Thursday, Dec. 15, at the Bunk House restaurant, Woodbine.

The council adjourned at 5:40 p.m. The next meeting of the council will be at 5 p.m., Monday, Nov. 28, in a special meeting. The next regular City Council meeting will be at 5 p.m., Monday, Dec. 5. City Council meetings are open and the public is encouraged to attend.

From CHRISTMAS Page 1 for Santa. But if participants would like to eat supper before their cookie dessert, the Community of Christ Church is hosting a soup supper, complete with chili, chicken noodle and ham and bean soups, as well as grilled cheese sandwiches and cinnamon rolls. But if you’re craving something other than soup and sandwiches, the First Christian Church’s Chi-Rho (youth group) will be hosting a Taco Fundraiser from 5-8 p.m. at the First Christian Church, 509 Ely St. Chi-Rho members are also offering “to-go” orders by calling 647-

3078 and all meals are available for a free will offering.

After filling up, Bright Lights goers will be able to shop for the upcoming holidays at the Gift Shopping Mall set up at the Golden Age Center.

The Mall will be open from 5-8 p.m. and will contain a variety of vendors such as Lucky T Jewelry, Mann’s Handmade Woods, Scentsy Candles, Tastefully Simple, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, American Flea Market, Beauty Control, Focal Attractions Jewelry and Stamp It Up. The new Movers and Shakers building, Fifth

Street between Walker Street and Lincoln Way, will host an open house featuring the newly rehabbed historic interior of the building, and CUBS (Community United for a Better School), will sponsor a holiday reading corner from 5-8 p.m. at Hometown Hardware.

Children attending will hear the Christmas classic, “The Polar Express,” read by guest reader (Grandma) Dee Colwell.

Each child will receive a free book, a small bell and a “goodie bag” until supplies are gone. The reading will pause, of course, for the Lighted Parade.

The retail merchants in Woodbine didn’t want to be left out, either.

That’s why many will stay open longer hours on Dec. 2 to participate in a punch card promotion.

Punch cards may be picked up from Shaw Screenprinting, Woodbine Antiques, Gift Mall at the Senior Center, Hometown Hardware, the Cookie Walk at the Main Street Station, and the Movers & Shakers Open House.

Woodbine Antiques will offer a relaxing stopping point for downtown dwellers. Live music by “The Sounds of Micada” will resonate

from the store. The local group, comprised of David Kaufman and Mike and Kara Brown, will offer sounds on the guitar, harp and hammerer dulcimer for Bright Light, Little City goers.

As punch card participants visit each business, their card will be punched. When the card is complete, it can be dropped at any of those same locations. The drawing pick-up is 7 p.m., with winners to be posted by a quarter past the hour: 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. Check for winners on the Christmas tree posters in the respective, participat-

ing businesses. Winners may then use their $25 and $50 Woodbine Dollars at any business listed on the back, but only until midnight, Dec. 2. The Main StreetChamber will be giving out a total of $1,000 in Woodbine Dollars.

Contact the Main Street-Chamber Office at 647-3434 with questions. “‘Bright Lights, Little City’ Christmas in Woodbine is geared to all ages and most of it takes place in nice, warm buildings,” Main Street Promotions Chair Anita Fouts said. “Last year, families had a great time power-shopping with the winnings.”

Woodbine family named GWTA’s Family of the Year From GWTA Page 1 was 6.

And the letter tells the story of what makes them eligible to be Family of the Year.

Judy heads up the First Christian Youth Group in Woodbine each Wednesday, doing her fair share of donating meals to feed the approximate 30 participants.

Tom and Judy organize and serve breakfast and supper for the homeless through “Takin’ It 2 The Streets” the third Friday of each month with support from their church and friends from the GWTA. Judy also spends her winter months making and freezing various soups so the homeless will have lunch during

the week.

During the 2011 flood, Judy even organized a campaign to help feed those displaced by the rising waters that were residing at the Dana College Campus in Blair, Neb. this summer.

And those are just a few ways the Erlewines dedicate themselves to their community.

When it comes to the GWTA, the couple is just as ambitions.

Tom has served as a Road Captain for several years and organized GWTA Chapter Z’s “Great Escape” weekend for 2011 and is working on the 2012 event.

Judy has served as the membership and retention officers for four

years. She is adamant that all members’ birthdays and anniversaries are remembered and recognized.

As a pair, the couple planned a 2011 Halloween party and actively help organize and plan other events.

They dedicate their time to organize several summer Chapter Z campouts.

Aside from volunteering, organizing and planning, Tom and his 1500 purple Goldwing and Judy and her 800 Suzuki Intruder can often be found having fun at the GWTA events such as Region C and Gold Rush rallies, along with the Nebraska State Follies.

GWTA Chapter Z

members Wayne and Mary Flora, the 2000 GWTA National Family of the Year, signed the letter after closing it with, “Nebraska GWTA Chapter Z is very blessed to have Tom and Judy Erlewine as members and hope you will give them every consideration for the award of Nebraska State Family of the Year 2012.”

Consideration was given. On Saturday, Nov. 5, in Hastings, Neb., Tom and Judy were pleasantly surprised as gold medallions were placed around their necks, naming them the GWTA 2012 Nebraska Family of the Year.

“As far as I know, GWTA has been giving

this award for years,” Chapter Z Director Mel Vogt said. “And this is the first family from Woodbine to ever receive the honor.”

Although they already knew they were nominated, it was still a pleasant surprise.

“I had a gal call and ask if she could nominate us,” Judy said. “I told her I guessed I didn’t mind. I didn’t really think we’d get it anyway. But I guess we did.”

But it’s not quite over.

Because the Erlewines were named as the GWTA State of Nebraska Family of the Year, they are now in the running to be named Family of the Year for Region C in June of 2012 in Wisconsin. The

pair will be vying for the title against the top GWTA families from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin in the United States as well as one family each from Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Canada. And if they are seen fit for the Regional title, they move on to the GWTA National Family of the Year.

“It’s quite the honor,” Vogt said. “It’s a big deal.

They are very active with everything from the Christian Motorcycle Association, GWTA, their church, their community … it’s a big deal.

Tom and Judy are always out there to help if someone needs it. If anyone needs it.”

Community of Christ to add “Family Life Center” From ADDITION Page 1 Sherer said. “And, in the past, we’ve had successful programs for youth, such as a Peacemakers Club and we’d have around 70 kids at the church after school. In that case, and as with Bible School, junior and senior high retreats, Bible Day Camp and a few others, space really is a factor.”

need for space, the new building is slated to be a 50 by 80 by 20 feet building that will connect to church building through an existing classroom.

The outside of the building will be covered with painted steel panels on the walls and a standing seam roof. The flooring will be a “sport court,” not wood, but a synthetic plastic. A basketball court as well as a volley-

ball court will be available, measuring 42 by 64 feet, with a loft and other areas to store all equipment. Both the men’s and women’s facilities will contain restrooms as well as showers. The entire building will be heated and cooled using an energy efficient geothermal system.

“There may be additional enhancements

once the basic building is complete. Maybe a refinements as we move forward,” Sherer said.

“But it will be complete and usable by spring.”

The initial phase of the project, before any refinements, came with a $215,000 price tag, partially leading to the delay in the construction efforts. But a $50,000 donation from the church’s World Church and a private, local donation of $30,000, helped jumpstart the idea.

“The rest of the fundraising efforts have just been congregation members making monthly pledges for about the last eight years,” Sherer said.

“And we’ve put money from previous fundraisers towards that goal as well.”

The project is slated to be open in the spring of 2012. With its opening, the Community of Christ hopes to see continued growth.

“This building can be used for indoor community events and programs,” Sherer said.

“Anything from an interest in young adult volleyball and basketball leagues to maybe, in

the future, low impact aerobics for older adults.

There just aren’t any specific plans right now.

But whenever our congregation talks, our mission is focused on children, youth and families. This is what came out of the talks. We wanted our facilities and programs equipped for them. We like to focus, when it comes to youth, on education, worship, fellowship and fun.”

In order to continue their fundraising efforts for the unfinished project and hopeful future refinements, the Woodbine Community of Christ Church will hold a Soup and Cinnamon Roll Dinner during Woodbine’s “Bright Lights, Little City” Christmas in Woodbine event from 4:30-7 p.m., Friday, Dec. 2, at the church. The dinner is offered as a free will offering and include schili, chicken and noodle and ham and bean soup as well as grilled cheese sandwiches and cinnamon rolls. They’ve set a personal goal of $1,500 to donate towards their new addition. If unable to attend, donations may also be sent to: Community of

Christ, P.O. Box 6, Woodbine, IA 51579, with checks made payable to Community of Christ.

Please contact Noel Sherer with questions at 647-2168.

“We have no set agenda for the building at this time,” Sherer said.

“But we hope we can ease into it, one step at a time and look forward to being able to help service the children, youth and young families in the community.”

Woodbine residents encouraged to buy local when Christmas tree hunting

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey encourages Woodbine residents to consider choosing a fresh, locally grown Christmas tree.

A directory of more than 100 tree farms across Iowa is available on the Iowa Christmas Tree Grower’s website at www.IowaChristmasTre es.com. On the site there is a “Find a Farm” link on the top left-hand corner of the page.

Those farms devote more than 1,500 acres to Christmas tree production in Iowa and, as a result, harvest approximately 39,500 Christmas trees each year. The

result is a $1 million dollar industry contributing to Iowa’s economy.

Among local options are Opposum Lodge and Guge’s Christmas Tree Farm.

Following are tips to keep in mind to make your trip to a Christmas tree farm more enjoyable: • Be sure you know what size tree fits in your home, both height and width, before you leave. Trees always look smaller in the field and there is nothing worse than bringing a tree indoors only to find it’s too big.

• Wear comfortable

cloths, sturdy shoes and gloves you aren’t afraid to get dirty. You are going to a farm.

• Make sure the tree you pick has a straight trunk and will fit properly in your tree stand.

• Fresh trees need water. Once you get your tree home remember to check the water daily. Trees can use up to a gallon of water daily.

• Make sure you unplug any tree lights before you leave home or go to bed.

• Remember – fresh cut Christmas trees are biodegradable. Recycle your tree after Christmas.

If you are not putting the tree up right away, store it in an unheated garage or some other area out of the wind and cold (freezing) temperatures. Make a fresh, one inch cut on the base end and place the tree in a bucket of warm water.

“Follow these tips and your will be able to enjoy a beautiful, fresh and locally grown Christmas tree throughout the holiday season,” Northey said.

You Know It’s Thanksgiving When ... all the kids in the elementary start wearing head dresses. The spirits of the First Turkey Loves are on TV 16 hours a day.

All the stores raise their prices on turkeys. You realize that there are more turkeys in the store than on the street. Your mom gets out all her once a year pans. You start out with turkey and end up with football. The people start gobbling and the turkey stops gobbling. You learn that the Mayflower was a ship and not a spring tulip. It’s the only day of the year that the turkey gets dressed.

Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Deforest were selected by the local Kiwanis organization to receive their “Farmer of the Year” award, presented annually.

Live Healthy Iowa will track the Dream Team’s journey, from their highs and lows, to their successes, struggles and pitfalls, and everything
