Angela Bush is only one in every 10,000 children born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, a congenital heart disease. After multiple surgeries at six months, 18 months, at 3 years, 10 years and 11 years in July of 2010, and repeated trips to Lincoln and Omaha for physical, occupational and speech therapy, her outlook for recovery has been set at 97 percent. However, the bills continue to pile up, even with the help of insurance, since the last surgery in 2010.

A large portion of those bills are medical,

but the family remains optimistic.

“She’s getting better,” Angela’s mother, Misty Bush, said. “She’s down to physical therapy three days a week in Omaha now, which is much closer than Lincoln where we were having to go. She goes to speech, physical and occupational therapy.”

In October of 2010, Angela couldn’t even hold a pencil. But now, her mom says, her left hand is slowly recovering.

“It’s a slow process,” Misty said. “But she has a hand splint to straighten her fingers out and she can support a little weight with it.”

Angela has also been taken off her feeding tubes and been given permission to eat solid foods. She’s been eating through a tube throughout the days since around March of 1999.

She was only afforded solid foods in the evenings.

“And she likes to eat,” Misty said, smiling. “But she’ll still take lettuce over cookies and cake.”

And, thanks to Misty who quit her job and chooses to remain unemployed in order to run Angela to doctor’s appointments and more, Misty has been taking Angela to school periodically. Misty was thrilled to announce Angela will

Vacation Bible School June 6-10

MIKE BROWNLEE OWH News Service

NIKKI DAVIS Editor Five Woodbine churches are getting ready to take soon to be 4 year oldpreschoolers through sixth grade students on a safari – through the “Kingdom of the Son: A Prayer Safari.” Community Vacation Bible School has been set for 9 a.m. to noon, Mon., June 6 through Fri., June 10.

The United Methodist Church is the primary organizer this year, receiving help from the Christian Church, Community of Christ, Sacred Heart and the Believer’s Training Center.

VBS is hosting an early registration for 6-7 p.m., Sun., June 5 at the Community of Christ Church where students will be able to pick up their free Tshirt. The early registration allows for

the fun to begin sooner the following Monday, alleviating the time restraints for registration that morning and allowing the attendees to begin their lessons.

Knowledgeable and fun lessons that VBS Director Barbie Schafer hopes have an impact.

“I think the sooner we teach children about God and Christ, the more apt they are to want to learn more,” Schafer said. “They’ll be more apt to apply it to their lives. And if we can do it in a fun way, they’re going to latch See VBS Page 6

A former Woodbine banker faces 18 months in prison for committing multi-million dollar bank fraud.

On May 20, John Jarvey, U.S. District Court Judge for the Southern District of Iowa, sentenced Kenneth Waite for using a false loan application to obtain a $2.3 million lineof-credit for distressed customers, according to a release from the Office of the U.S. Attorney.

“Those who place their funds on deposit with federally-insured financial institutions expect bank officers to safeguard their money, not steal it or gamble with it,” U.S. Attorney Nicholas Klinefeldt said in the release. “Mr. Waite’s sentence should serve as a warning that the federal criminal justice system will not tolerate bank officials who violate the trust of customers and the bank system.”

Waite faced a 50-count indictment that involved a series of bank transactions from October 2004 through November 2005 while at Commercial Federal Bank in Woodbine.

During his trial in February, Waite struck a deal with prosecutors, pleading guilty to one count, which charged him with knowingly making false statements to the executive loan committee of his bank by See WAITE Page 6

Editorial

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

Note to self: You’re not 16 any more

Down Home

By Sandy Turner Sandy Turner writes a weekly column “Down Home” which is published in several newspapers in the Midwest. She puts a humorous spin on issues that revolve around families and every day life, drawing from her own experiences.

Coming home to confetti and mixed drinks

I

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Eventually everything settled down and I offered to make some deli sandwiches as a peace offering.

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

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

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

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

here are some privileges that come with having two jobs. Not many, but some. One of the major privileges I have is the access to equipment I know how to work out on.

You see, I’m not much of a normal “gym” kind of girl. The way I knew how to get a workout is by doing kips on uneven parallel bars or back/front flips on floor. I’ve even pulled a few cartwheels and split leaps out on beam.

I had to sign a waiver, of course, saying if I got hurt, I wouldn’t hold the gym liable. Not that I would anyway. At the age of 30+, I know what risks I takeg every time I touch the equipment. But oh, boy! There is no better feeling than when your girls are struggling with a skill and comment, “I’d like to see you do it!”

Most of the time, I can – so I do. But I had a little incident last week.

You see, competition season is over for us (we compete AmeriKids if that means anything to anyone not connected with the gymnastics world) so we’re working on new skills. New skills = play time. So that’s what we were doing.

I had been playing on bars before they arrived. (I always go in about an hour or so early so I can work out without looking like a dork in front of the girls.) So we decided that’s where we’d go. And go we did.

My “little ones” (lower levels) were working on high bar skills since next year will be the first year they compete using the high bar. My “big girls” (upper levels) were doing all sorts of release skills (where you go from the low bar to the high bar or vice versa), so I had to show them something I used to be able to do – a release from high bar to low bar.

No, this is not where it gets ugly – yet.

The girls thought it was neat and wanted to try it backwards – so we did. We all did.

However, an old injury popped my shoulder right out of place, so I spent a little time popping it back in. It was my next attempt when things turned ugly.

The skill is what we call a mill circle. You basically hold on to the bar, cast and then put your feet on the bar and then spin in a circle all the way around.

NIK’S KNACKS NIKKI DAVIS EDITOR nikki.davis@woodbinetwiner.com

So you start on top of the bar and then end up on top of the bar and then jump to the high bar.

Well ….. I didn’t make it. I didn’t grip right. I didn’t have enough chalk. The bar was slick. I have no excuse, really … but I peeled. I wasn’t all the way around and my hands flew off the bar.

I came down with a thudding CRASH, landing with my head ducked into my chin, on the back of my head and neck and rolled to a stop.

The girls went dead quiet. Then I heard a little, “Coach? What hurts?” This, I tell you now, is what we say to them when they fall.

I put up a good front and started laughing and replied, “I’ll text you tomorrow morning when I figure it out!”

I then rolled myself off the mat, chalked up and tried the skill one more time. We try to teach the girls that when you fall, the most important thing is to get up and do it again. So I was leading by example. One hour of practice was left.

I made my way home, sore and throbbing. My back hurt so badly throughout the night, I couldn’t sleep. And the next morning I was forced to go to the doctor. A concussion was the first thing on my mind. Fortunately, despite the pain, the CT scan revealed nothing other than what was already up there.

Days later I’m still paying for that single fall. I will have to make a note to myself for next Monday and Tuesdays’ workouts: Dear Nikki, You are not 16. You do not bounce well anymore. Sincerely, Your Aching Body.

Of Aspic and things

T

hroughout my childhood, one of the signature memories of the spring was when my mother graced us with a special dish called rhubarb aspic. This bygone of an era before commercial Jello desserts was somehow heartier and just special. Well, that was my take on it at least. I do know it was special in part because it was limited to the rhubarb season, and also I strongly recall that it was a decided “pain” to prepare for some reason.

But it was incredible stuff. Unfortunately, the recipe is gone, so if anyone reading this has a rhubarb aspic recipe, please let me know. By the way, an aspic is a food that involves gelatin. Meat aspics contained chunks of meat or even eggs, and because cooking sterilized them and then the encasing gelatin kept air and organisms away, it would extend the storage time for the prepared aspic. I would NOT do that with what we know and how we handle food today, but I do find it an interesting bit of history.

Rhubarb is one of

those foods you either like or you don’t. Count me in as an immense rhubarbophile—I love the stuff! And now is harvest season. Only harvest established plants. The rhubarb plant is a well adapted perennial that can stay productive for 5 to 10 years without division.

Only the leaf stems, the petioles, are used in food preparation.

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

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

In some northern Asian

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

cultures, it is still cooked as a delicacy.

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

Because of that and also to allow the plant’s leaves to produce carbohydrates, stop harvest of mature plants by about the first of July (depending on the year). Secondyear plants should have only a limited harvest season, maybe only 2—3 weeks.

If you are a rhubarb fan, the best time to divide plants to increase or share is in the spring.

It can still be done, but remember those new plants can only be lightly harvested next year.

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

leafing and better harvest. You may freeze rhubarb by chopping it into 1/2-inch pieces and spreading them on a sheet pan that is then placed in the freezer.

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

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

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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Positive happenings at WCS DEAR EDITOR: Many positive things are happening in our Woodbine School District. This year, our school was the only Harrison County school with increased enrollment. It looks like we are going to have a larger class next year and our preschool program is growing. Despite funding cuts and allowable growth monies frozen, the school is gaining financial stability. A beneficial anti-bullying program was implemented.

The board set a goal to improve our Gifted and Talented Program, and have made strides.

Teachers have been working to learn and implement the Iowa Core Curriculum. As a board we strive to set improvement goals annually.

Thank you to those showing an interest in our school by attending board meetings.

Sometimes issues arise when the community wants to address the board; we welcome input. We follow state and local policies at our meetings such as: Iowa Open Meetings Laws requires 24 hour posting notice on agenda items, unless for good cause; to put an item on the agen-

da, the request should be made about one week in advance. Anyone is welcome to speak, remembering board policy states complaints about employees may only be brought after going through proper channels.

The board cannot address issues brought to the open forum unless the item is already on the agenda, but the item can be placed on a future agenda.

Congratulations to the Class of 2011 who are beginning a new era in their lives. Valedictorian Nadia Wahba and Salutatorian Jacolby Ehlert should be recognized for their efforts.

While recent controversy may have overshadowed

their efforts, they had the highest GPA’s in the class. No one can be promised or guaranteed an honor before it’s earned. School policy 505.3 cited recently was not completely quoted.

“It is the responsibility of the superintendent to develop the administrative regulations regarding this policy.”

Woodbine is a great community with many positive things going for it. Let’s work together to make our Woodbine Community School our pride and joy for years to come.

IDNR confronts needle disease questions Safe Food class

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources Forestry Bureau has received a number of disease questions about a fungus that has been causing secondyear needles on blue spruce to turn a purple to brown color and fall from the tree.

Rhizosphaera needle cast is caused by a fungus that appears as small black growths (fruiting structures) in the small pores on the underside of infected needles. These fruiting bodies appear in rows along the length of the needle.

Symptoms typically start on the lower branches of the tree and work from the inside branches to the outside branches.

ing wet weather and infect the newly emerging needle, which is why the state is seeing more of this needle cast disease.

If the disease is present, use fungicides in the spring to protect the newly emerging needles. The tree should be sprayed with a product such as chlorothalonil or a Bordeaux mixture during the last two weeks of May and again 4 to 6 weeks later.

Other preventative measures include adequate tree spacing to promote good air circulation, improving tree vigor through mulching and watering when needed, inspecting trees for disease before planting and avoiding planting susceptible trees next to infected trees.

USDA grants to increase blender pumps State gas prices are approaching $4 per gallon for regular gasoline, up more than $1 per gallon from just one year ago, according to Minnesota/Iowa AAA. A loan and grant program from USDA Rural Development is seeking to add to the number of flexible fuel pumps, sometimes called “blender pumps” in Iowa, giving consumers the choice of filling their vehicles with higher blends of lower-cost ethanol.

Applications for this year’s Rural Energy for America Program administered by USDA Rural Development are due June 15.

“Iowa is already a leader in the country when it comes to biofuels, but we still have a relatively limited number of pumps that put out anything more than E-10,” USDA Rural Development State Director in Iowa Bill Menner said. “We have a potential great demand for E-15 and E-85, we just need more facilities that can offer them.”

This year USDA is providing funding for up to $61 million in guaranteed loans and

$42 million in grants through REAP, a national program. Funds are available to help agricultural producers and rural small businesses develop renewable energy systems, make energy efficiency improvements and conduct studies to determine the feasibility of renewable energy systems.

A recently issued rule clarifies the definition of renewable energy systems to include blender pumps. This clarification is intended to provide fuel station owners with incentives to install blender pumps that will offer Americans more renewable energy options. The Obama Administration has set a goal of installing 10,000 flexible fuel pumps nationwide within five years.

REAP offers grants up to 25 percent of a project’s eligible costs.

Guaranteed loans, and a combination guaranteed loan and grant, can be as much as 75 percent of total eligible costs.

However, any purchases incurred prior to submitting a complete application are not eligible.

“USDA is working hand-in-hand with local

partners and entrepreneurs to build the biofuels industry to create thousands of jobs growing and harvesting biomass, building and operating refineries, and transporting biofuel to market,” Menner said.

USDA Rural Development is an equal opportunity lender with a variety of direct and guaranteed rural credit programs involving single and multi-family housing, community facilities, water and sewer development and business and cooperative programs.

For more information about finance programs through USDA Rural Development, please call (515) 284-4663 or v i s i t www.rurdev.usda.gov/i a.

USDA Rural Development has 11 offices across the state to serve the 1.7 million Iowans living in rural areas and communities.

Office locations include a State Office in Des Moines, along with Area Offices in Albia, Atlantic, Humboldt, Indianola, Iowa Falls, LeMars, Mount Pleasant, Storm Lake, Tipton and Waverly.

Iowa Egg Council’s Recent drop in gas prices provide short term relief decorated egg contest The Iowa Egg Council would like to invite all Iowa residents to enter the 13th annual Iowa State Fair Egg Decorating contest.

The contest will be held at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 12. This contest is a great opportunity for contestants to showcase their artistic abilities.

Each egg will be judged based off the design, artistic merit, creativity, technical merit and effective use of the egg. Any art medium may be used, and creativity is encouraged.

The egg must be a standard large-size chicken egg, and must be freestanding without an attached base, stand or decoration on the bottom.

“One change to this year’s contest is we are opening up the “design”

aspect to a n y design. In the past, artists have been encouraged to focus on an Iowa theme. This year we have decided to expand the possibilities here,” IEC Executive Director Kevin Vinchattle said.

This year’s awards will include a first place prize of $500, a second place prize of $400 and a third place prize of $300.

Following the contest, all of the decorated egg entries will be on display throughout the year at Iowa libraries.

To enter the contest, request an entry form and complete list of rules by calling the Iowa Egg Council toll-free at 1-877469-2344 ext. 11, or by accessing the form from the Website at www.iowaegg.org. All entry forms must be received by July 22.

Global oil prices continue to fluctuate as West Texas Intermediate bounced back and forth in May 17 trading before settling just below $97 a barrel. The recent downturn for crude oil has provided a welcome relief for Iowa drivers, who are finally seeing a decline in retail gas prices at the pump. The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline fell 4 cents week over week to $3.92 a gallon, but still remains 9 cents above last month, according to the AAA and the Oil Price Information Service.

“Over the last few days we have seen WTI crude oil close below $100 a barrel,” Catherine Fought said, Energy Data Analyst with the Office of Energy Independence. “If this trend continues, it will provide short term declines in retail gasoline pricing however, increased demand for gasoline during the summer

months will keep upward pressure on gas prices.”

Monthly reporting shows the average price of 10 percent, ethanol blended mid-grade gasoline in Iowa to be $3.86 per gallon as of May16, 2011, which is a 4.32 percent increase from the April 2011 price of $3.70. The average price for diesel on May 16 was $4.05 per gallon, which is a 0.74 percent decrease from the April price of $4.08 a gallon. For Iowa metro averages, please visit: http://www.energy.iowa.gov/Ne wsroom/fuel_price.html.

Crude Oil On May 17th, a barrel of West Texas Cushing Sweet Crude Oil closed at $96.91, which is a 10.4 percent decrease compared to the previous month’s price of $108.15 and 38.3 percent higher than the May 2010 price of $70.08.

However, the U.S. Energy Information Administration fore-

casts oil markets to tighten through 2012 given projected world oil demand growth and slowing growth in supply from countries that are not members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

Heating Fuels On May 17, natural gas closed at $4.20/MMbtu, down from last month’s price of $4.21/MMbtu and a year ago price of $4.41/MMbtu. The EIA reports that working gas in storage was 1,827 Bcf as of May 6. This represents a decline of 12.0 percent from a year ago and a 2.0 percent decline from the 5-year average.

Monitoring set to begin at state park beaches Summer is just around the corner, which for many means enjoying warm, sunny days at Iowa’s state park beaches. The DNR will once again monitor and report on the water quality of these beaches to safeguard public health and enhance understanding of water quality.

Monitoring at all 38 state park beaches began May 23 and will continue into September.

Beach water samples are compared to water quality standards to determine the risk of waterborne illnesses for swimmers. All state park beaches will be monitored at least once per week.

Iowans and visitors can find weekly results on the DNR Website at www.iowadnr.gov by clicking on “Beach Monitoring.” Choosing “State Park Beaches” under the “Beach Monitoring Results” heading will bring up a page that graphically dis-

plays the current advisory status at beaches throughout the state.

Clicking on the icon over each beach will open a window containing more detailed water quality information. Beachgoers can also get up-to-date advisory information by calling the Iowa Beach Hotline at (319) 353-2613.

“Iowa has received above average rainfall over the past several summers, which has raised the number of advisories posted at some beaches in recent years,” coordinator for the DNR’s beach monitoring program Jason McCurdy said. “In spite of this, monitoring over the past 11 swimming seasons has shown that our state park beaches are safe for swimming the majority of the time.”

Just as in 2005 through 2010, state park beaches will post a “swimming is not recommended” sign if: • The geometric mean exceeds the water quality

standard (the five most recent samples within a 30-day period exceeds 126 colony-forming units of E. coli bacteria per 100 milliliters of water) • The beach has had bacteria problems in the past (causing it to be classified as a “vulnerable” or “transitional” beach) and one sample exceeds Iowa’s one-time maximum standard (235 colony-forming units of E. coli bacteria per 100 milliliters of water) The DNR considers beaches “vulnerable” after more than two years of high geometric means within a five year period. They are no longer “vulnerable” when this condition no longer applies.

“Transitional” beaches include beaches where bacteria problems appear to have been resolved or no longer pose a serious threat. Beaches in this transitional class may be removed from this list if they do not exceed the geometric mean stan-

dard for one year.

The program will also monitor state-owned beaches for cyanotoxins, harmful substances produced by cyanobacteria, also called blue-green algae. Water samples will be tested for total microcystins, a widespread, commonly occurring group of cyanotoxins.

Concentrations of these substances can become elevated during an algae bloom. Reports of health effects associated with cyanotoxin exposure are rare, but exposure can cause skin irritations and allergy- or asthma-like

symptoms while ingestion of the toxin can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, including vomiting and diarrhea. In the event that a sample exceeds the World Health Organization’s action threshold of 20 µg/L total microcystins, an advisory sign will be posted warning beachgoers that an increased potential for exposure to cyanotoxins exists.

Posting a swimming advisory does not close a beach. However, the DNR reserves the right to close a beach in the event of a documented health

risk including (but not limited to) events such as a wastewater discharge, spills of hazardous chemicals or localized outbreaks of an infectious disease.

In addition to state park beaches, several county- and city-run beaches and other locally managed recreational areas have volunteered to participate in the beach monitoring program this year.

Monitoring at these beaches was scheduled to begin May 23 and will continue into the first week of September.

Bush Benefit slated for June 4 VBS June 6-10 From BUSH Page 1 development is the recent purchase of a specialized walker – a chance at more freedom for Angela – and her parental caretakers.

“We ordered it and now we’re just waiting to see how much insurance will pay. The doctors also want to modify her wheelchair so she can propel herself,” Misty said. “None of this is cheap and we’re guessing it’ll be a couple thousand. I’m so thankful we have insurance. I don’t know what we’d do without it.”

Barb Jensen understood that, and was there to help.

Jason Bush, Misty’s husband and Angela’s father, is employed at Tommy Gate in Woodbine and works with Jensen. Jensen had an idea. She knew members of the 4 Rivers Riding Club, a Harrison County riding club that designates their efforts to organizing benefit poker rides.

“We do about one or two benefit poker rides every summer,” 4 Rivers Riding Club member Denny Stueve said. “The club has about 30 members from Modale, Missouri Valley, Logan, Magnolia … we’re all from Harrison County.

We hear about those that need our help from other people. We vote on it at our meetings and just go from there. Angela’s name came up when we were talking to Rhonda McHugh and Barb Jensen. They came to a meeting and just asked us about it. We decided to do it.”

After the 4 Rivers Riding Club decided to move forward with the Bush Benefit Poker Run, the details were set in place.

The Bush Benefit Poker Run, open to all vehicles and not just motorcycles, will be held on June 4 with registration between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Jul’s Cave Inn in Magnolia. The ride will include stops in Honey Creek, Crescent, Avoca, Angela Bush takes a ride Portsmouth, Woodbine their riding lawnmower. and conclude in Magnolia at the Cave Inn and auction items from with an auction, DJ and area businesses come in. drawings.

“I’ve expressed my thanks already, but I just can’t seem to do it enough. We haven’t hardly had to do anything and it’s unbelievable how generous people are being,” Misty said. “Jason is the only one of us that works, so I can tend to Angela, so, unfortunately, we’re strapped.”

Iowa banker gets prison term

Waite From WAITE Page 1 submitting the false loan application to renew and increase the revolving line of credit of local cattle

feeders Ed and Ryan Sullivan from $7 million to $9.25 million, the release said.

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

The release said to funnel money into the Sullivans’ cattle operation, Waite “hijacked” the loans of other customers by altering bank records to permit him to increase the amount of funds available.

None of the customers knew of Waite’s actions, the release said. During the trial Waite’s attorney, Joseph Hrvol of Council Bluffs, described the bank customers whose funds were used as Waite’s family and friends.

When reached May 24,

Hrvol declined to comment on the sentence, noting the amount of restitution Waite might be ordered to pay his former employer is undetermined.

“It’s not appropriate to comment with pending litigation,” he said.

The release said the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. settled civil litigation brought against Waite with the former banker agreeing to give up his livelihood as a banker and pay a $40,000 fine.

From VBS Page 1 on even more so.”

In order to make it fun for all the students involved, they will be broken into five age groups, with preschoolers, kindergartners and first graders in one group and second and third combined and fourth through sixth combined.

Each day the lesson will be based around the safari theme, dealing with animals.

“We’ll be learning the Lord’s Prayer and having snacks and crafts based around that day’s animal and theme,” Schafer said.

“I’m looking forward to it and will be a lot of fun.”

And that fun is open to any student interested – not just members of the five churches involved.

“You don’t have to be a member of one of the churches,” Schafer said.

“You don’t have to go to church in Woodbine. You don’t even have to attend church. Everyone is encouraged to attend VBS here. That’s why we call it a ‘Community’ VBS.” The word “community” itself may be extended into the organizers of the event. It takes approximately 40 adult, junior high and high school students to run the event. And it’s easier to make the event bigger and better through pooling resources between the churches and volunteers involved.

“The joint effort is so beneficial because you pool together funding and manpower a n d resources.

All the monetary expenditures are pooled together and we can put on a more elaborate production which is more fun for the kids,” Schafer said. “The churches split out snacks and lessons.

Each day is sponsored by a different church.”

For the finale, all five churches join forces while VBS students perform.

The finale is scheduled for 7 p.m., Fri., June 10 in the Woodbine Community School commons and gymnasium.

The finale will include the children’s program and refreshments.

“The students will perform the songs they’ve learned throughout the week, specific to each age group,” Schafer said. “They’re even going to learn motions and dances to go with their songs. It’ll be a whole production.”

The weeklong Community Vacation Bible School is revered by many and Schafer echoes their thoughts in believing in its effectiveness.

“I know this is very effective. The kids get excited about going to Bible School. They want to see their friends and they get to eat and play and make crafts and kick balls,” Schafer said. “I just think it works.”

Registration forms were located on the back of the final Cub News for the year, or are available at any of the five, participating churches, the Woodbine Public Library or by contacting Barbie Schafer at 6473110.

Harrison County Hospice Care: Generations Hospice Care From HOSPICE Page 1 counties.

Sherer is joined by Glenna Plath, director of Professional Services as well as four RN’s, three aids, a chaplain, bereavement coordinator and medical director Dr. Greg Thomas. Other team members include a host of volunteer staff that will be available 24/7 for their clients and families.

Sherer grew up in the long-term care business.

His grandparents, Ward and Esther Sherer, along with Eugene and Linda Sherer, purchased Rose Vista in Woodbine shortly after it was built. The Sherer family then bought Longview in Missouri Valley in 1974, with John and Jerry Sherer joining the family business shortly afterward to operate the facility. The extended Sherer family continues to operate facilities in Missouri Valley and Woodbine now owned and managed by the third generation.

And now, they’re adding the Generations Hospice Care, owned by the Sherer Management Corporation through Noel Sherer, Julie Newton, Jason Sherer, David Sherer, Christine Hedger and Kelly Sherer, “We really have an exceptional amount of drive and compassion to serve this population,” Sherer said. “We’ve seen it our entire lives, that is why we do good at what we do. We strive to touch lives while we do this. Our mission statement is ‘Leaving a Legacy of Life for Generations to Come.”

Sherer, who grew up in Missouri Valley, recently returned to the area after spending five years as manager of a hospice home health agency in Raleigh, N.C. and in South Carolina for a major hospice company.

When he returned to Harrison County he found out hospice services were being outsourced to Harlan and Atlantic, and decided to do some research and see if the county could support such a service.

“We found that Longview itself could support hospice services.”

According to Sherer, about 41 percent of people access hospice benefits as they enter that time of their life.

“There are a lot of misconceptions out there regarding hospice care,” Sherer said.

According to Sherer, these include hospice care being for only the last seven days of life; that it hastens death and that certain treatments have to be given up to get into hospice care.

“We want to do the education to let people know that commonly under hospice care you can live longer, your pain in managed and you have nursing and social services,” Sherer said. “You have a team coming into your home or where ever you are living that you never had before.”

Hospice care includes all drug needs related to the terminal illness and equipment needs.

“On the average while in hospice care you will

see an RN two to three times a week, a CNA two to three times a week, a chaplain two to three times a month and a social worker two to three times a month,” Sherer said.

The team also counsels family members during the dying process.

Services don’t stop once the patient passes away.

The hospice care team follows the family for 13 months lending needed support to the family to get through the grief process.

According to Sherer, on average, once someone enters hospice, they have services for approximately 70 days before they pass.

“They get to turn the ball a little and get to become the ‘coach’ finally of how they want it to be at the end of their life,” he said.

The hospice team will develop individualized care plans, setting goals, encouraging personal choices, working together in caregiving decisions and supporting meaningful experiences.

“Our caregivers help manage pain and symptoms, enabling patients to live life as fully and comfortably as possible,” Sherer said. “Social workers and spiritual counselors create a comforting environment in which patients and families are able to share their thoughts, hopes and concerns.”

Special bereavement programs provide emotional support to patients and families who need help coping.

“Medicare pays for 180

days of hospice care,” Sherer said. “They can pay longer if a physician thinks there is six months or less left for the patient to live. It’s hard to put a number of days on it,” he said. “It is heavily physician driven as far as if the person is eligible and can remain on hospice.”

Hospice services are 100 percent federally funded and available to everyone who qualifies, Sherer said. Medicare covers the interdisciplinary team’s services, medications, equipment and supplies related to the patient’s life-limiting illness. Hospice care is also covered under Medicaid and many insurance plans.

Plath was hired March 28 as the first employee and will serve as the primary case management nurse to admit and put the hospice team together.

They hope to admit their first patients sometime in May and will go through a year’s certification process and documentation with the Community Health Accreditation Program and will serve up to four patients at a time during this process.

“I imagine we will have served 10 to 20 patients before we are certified,” Sherer said. “We hope to be certified in less than a year.”

As far as knowing when it is time for hospice services, Sherer said the family typically brings it up and talks to the doctor.

“We get involved when the physician calls and asks us to evaluate the

patient. We are trying to get clients earlier. So many times we get a referral and the patient is only with us seven days. That isn’t enough time to intervene for the patients expectations,” Sherer said.

The idea of Generations Hospice Care is to have the community of Harrison County serv-

ing the community.

“This has been realized very quickly,” Sherer said.

“We have employees and volunteers from all over the county and are always looking for more volunteers.

Community Western Iowa No-till Field Day Iowa Byway signs unveiling The Fourth Annual Western Iowa No-till Demonstration Field Day is planned for June 14 at the Carstens 1880 Farmstead just south of Shelby. Registration and vendor displays will open at 8 a.m. on the 14th; with speakers beginning at 9 a.m.

Topics at this year’s field day will include creating an effective weed management program for notill, an overview of emerging technology in no-till equipment, planter settings and an update on grain marketing. Lunch will be provided free of charge to all in attendance, including steak sandwiches grilled by the East Pottawattamie County Cattlemen. Ernie Nelson, a no-till farmer from Moville, will deliver the keynote address after lunch. The afternoon will also include a special feature on precision agriculture equipment and data utilization, as

well as a weather outlook from Elwynn Taylor.

Anyone with an interest in soil stewardship, from long-time no-till producers to those who are interested in learning more about no-till, is encouraged to attend this daylong educational event. Over 200 ag producers and ag professionals attended the 2010 event, learning about residue management, crop rotation, fertilizer management and other considerations for a successful no-till program.

In addition to the educational sessions at the 2011 WIN Field Day, there will be plenty of time for farmers to visit informational displays, vendor exhibits and network with other producers. CCA Credits will also be available for Certified Crop Advisors needing additional continuing education units this year.

There is no charge to

attend this event, but pre-registration is required by June 9.

Registration can be completed by e-mailing csgorham@iastate.edu or by calling the Harrison County Extension Office at 888-644-2105.

At 4:30 p.m. June 2, the Harrison County Historical Village and Welcome Center will host a Byway Signage unveiling event. The event will highlight the new Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway, Loess Hills National Scenic Byway and Western Skies Scenic Byway roadway signs. Because the event is being held in conjunction with the Welcome Center Farmer’s Market, those attending the unveiling are asked to please park in the new expanded parking area near the scenic overlook above the welcome center.

A short program will also be held with Liz BirkelLeddy, Executive Director of Golden Hills RC&D which manages the Loess Hills and Western Skies Scenic Byways, and Francie O’Leary, Project Manager of the western third of the Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway and M & M Divide RC&D. New signs for 10 of Iowa Byways have been a work in progress for the past two years.

Sign installation began in April for the Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway with crews reaching Harrison County this past week. Once the Lincoln Highway is completed, work will begin on the Loess Hills followed by the Western Skies.

In addition to the byway signage, two new interpretive panels relating to agriculture in Iowa and the Loess Hills will be unveiled.

“We have many questions from visitors of what we do with all the corn and soybeans they see while traveling Iowa” coordinator of the Village/Welcome Center Kathy Dirks said. “The panels will help explain the production and uses of corn and beans, as well as land conservation practices such as terracing in the Loess Hills.”

For additional information on the event, please contact Kathy Dirks at 712-642-2114 or by e-mailing kdirks@harrisoncountyparks.org.

The Woodbine Twiner

June 1, 2011

Legals/Community Scholarship winners announced Spring fish stocking ending The Security National Bank of Sioux City, Trustee of the Lucile Latta Charitable Trust, is pleased to announce the names of the recipients of the Dean C. and Effie Haight Latta Memorial Scholarships. As Trustee, the Security National Bank Wealth Management Division and the Dean C. and Effie Haight Latta Scholarship committee awards these scholarships annually to residents of Harrison County who have completed their high school education and are attending a college, university or

technical school and for graduate studies.

Applicants may reapply annually.

A total $201,900.00 is being awarded for the 2011-12 school year. Those attending a technical school or two year program will receive $3,650.00, those attending a four-year or graduate program will receive $12,000. To date, 302 scholarships totaling $2,480,550 have been given to residents of Harrison County to assist as they continue their education.

This year, six recipients will receive the $3,650

scholarships, they are: Taylor Blum, Danielle Collins, Jacolby Arthur Ehlert, Regan C. Esser, Erin M. McClary and Dillon W. Miller.

There will be 15 scholarships of $12,000 each awarded to: Kelsey Jo Bemus, Jacqueline Jo Clark, Megan Renee Dollen, Jessy Joy Gochenour, Shelby Ruth Houston, Karen Hutson, Megan Hutson, Emily Nield, Joseph Norton, Valyn Reinig, Jerrica Michelle Reynek, Linsey A. Rohe, Blaire Shelton, Emily Weber and Hannah Wilkerson.

The Iowa DNR wrapped up its initial fish stocking for the spring, releasing 112 million walleye fry into Iowa lakes, 263,000 northern pike into lakes and rivers and about 2,500 muskies into four lakes. The muskies were spawned in 2010.

“It took a little longer for the eggs to hatch this spring because the water temperature in the hatcheries was cooler than normal from all the cold fronts that moved through,” supervisor for fish hatcheries with the Iowa DNR Mike Mason

said.

Mason said hatcheries will be stocking 2-inch walleyes fingerlings in June, then 5 to 6-inch fingerlings this fall, all kept at the hatcheries and rearing ponds from the same fry hatch that was stocked in May. Walleyes are not the only species spawned and stocked in the spring. Northern pike captured on the Mississippi River are spawned in late March.

A portion of the hatched pike will be part of a study by the fisheries bureau.

At the Fairport fish hatchery, 7,100 northern pike grown to fingerling size were freeze branded before being stocked in Bussey Lake, in the Mississippi River, that will be the first step in a multi-year effort to recapture fish in the future and document growth of known age fish to better manage northern pike on the Mississippi River.

“We are always looking at ways that we can improve hatch rates, survival, growth and quality of fish that we produce,” Mason said.
