Signups for the program are currently underway simply by stopping by the library, though the program itself begins on June 1. The 2011 themes include “One World, Many Stories” for prekindergarten through sixth graders and “You Are Here” for junior high and high school. Participant age level is determined by what grade students will be in for the upcoming, 2011-12 school year.

In order to participate, students are required simply to read. Upon signing up for the program, students are given reading logs in which to track their reading. The See LIBRARY Page 6

The Harrison County Welcome Center’s Farmer’s Market began with a simple note scrawled on a piece of paper in 2009, “Harrison County does not have a Farmer’s Market.” That single note has led to what might become an annual, summer event, ready to begin May 19 this year.

It was the Welcome Center’s Manager Kathy Dirks who scrawled that note during the Iowa State Tourism Conference back in 2009. The note was written during an afternoon program discussing other communities’ success with a farmer’s market – local people purchasing local produce and wares.

She first broached the subject with Tim Sproul, former Harrison County Conservation Director. His response to the idea was simple, but moved it forward. “Explore it,” he said.

Dirks did as she began to make phone calls to people like Bahia Barry, the Southwest Iowa Food Coordinator who works with organizing local markets like the one Dirks had in mind.

“I just asked her about the farmer’s markets and See MARKET Page 6

Editorial

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

Graduating ... and looking back on it

C CHAMBER CONNECTION WOODBINE MAIN STREET-CHAMBER MAIN STREET-CHAMBER OFFICE

Just the funding facts T his time last year, Main Street volunteers, the Southwest Iowa Planning Council (SWIPCO) and City of Woodbine representatives were awaiting the results of submitted Community Development Block Grant proposals. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is a flexible program that provides communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs. Beginning in 1974, the CDBG program is one of the longest continuously run programs at HUD. The CDBG program provides annual grants on a formula basis to states who, in turn, manage those designated dollars.

Hundreds of hours of labor were invested in the preliminary grant writing process for Woodbine, much of it implemented with volunteer assistance. In late May of 2010, the good word was (bingo!) two Woodbine projects wound up with CDBG grant awards: a $500,000 Woodbine Façade Master Plan specifically designed for downtown revitalization projects and $214,000 for Walker Corners, LLC, for 11, one-bedroom moderate, affordable housing units in a historic building.

These two CDBG awards do not, in any way, preclude the City of Woodbine from seeking other CDBG funds for different infrastructure improvements in one of the next funding cycle years.

There are several CDBG focus areas. In fact, the more external funding sources sought, the more savvy we as a city become regarding the process of securing outside funding sources. This equates to a more proactive City government and economic development group.

Why did these funds come to Woodbine? When applying for any kind of grant funding, first of all the proposed project must meet the criteria of the funder. Criteria met: both Woodbine projects will have measurable impact and support downtown revitalization. And the projects, as directed by the particular grant language, will be sustainable community demonstration projects.

As stated on the Iowa Department of Economic Development Website: These initial projects will demonstrate the implementation of district geothermal heating and cooling in an existing downtown and utilization of Iowa’s first Façade Master Plans to rehabilitate dozens of Main Street building facades. And on the Iowa Green Streets Initiative page: The Iowa Department of Economic Development continues to build upon the strong foundation laid the previous two years by the Green Streets Initiative, to provide bold support in helping community sustainability efforts across Iowa in FY ‘10.

Woodbine has been fortunate, some might even say “lucky!” to have been awarded these funds. But on the other hand, there are many entities and individuals that “sweated blood” in order for the projects to materialize. Looking up and down Walker and at the City gateways a thought comes to mind: Who wouldn’t be grateful for the positive changes and activity in our great community?

an you believe it? Graduation is done! It’s over!

My last group of little, baby cheerleaders before I resigned just graduated. Gone. Going to college and such. Unbelievable.

So I guess now it’s on to the next thing … or things.

For instance … let’s visit upon this alumni celebration thing. I wish you all knew how lucky you were to have this event. My class, the 1996 graduating class of Omaha Northwest, has yet to have a class reunion. Not a five year. Not a 10 year. And we’re not having a 15 year, either. At least not one I’ve gotten an invitation for. And I’ve got some friends from high school I haven’t been in touch with for a “few” years that I would love to catch up with.

Just last week, through the magical help of computers and Facebook, I was wished a happy birthday from a high school friend. Alas, it contained an old, old nickname I had almost banished from my mind: Flashlight Jr. I’ll just have to let you wonder where that nickname came from. All I have to say is that it’s my sister’s fault.

She is the original Flashlight after all.

And I wouldn’t mind meandering around the halls I once called my own, either. Gaze at all the trophies in the case, remembering when my class got this one or that. Revisit the old pictures along the walls … if they’re even still there. See the changes.

You guys, on the other hand, are given this opportunity each and every year. And it’s not just “your” class … it’s an all-class reunion to boot! I’m envious. Very.

And the town rallies around this event. The Main

Planting and Pruning

I

t appears that the days from May 2-9 either tied or may have set a record for corn acreage planted in a week in Iowa. Harrison County certainly was among the leaders; my estimate was about ¾ of our corn acreage planted in those seven days. That gets us back on track. The unseasonably warm start to the week also resulted in corn emergence in many fields.

By my mind, we are positioned about as well as can be now for mid-May. The eastern Cornbelt has been deluged and planting has been delayed there, and west of us there are drought issues.

We obviously have a long way to go, but so far so good.

Black cutworm is an occasionally damaging pest to corn in Iowa.

These insects do not winter in Iowa; instead, adults fly from their overwintering grounds near the Gulf of Mexico, and ride natural jet currents north to us. We use a network of traps that are baited with a sex attractant pheromone to deter-

mine when they arrive here. Assuming that they are ready to lay eggs on arrival, we then can calculate when the developing larvae are large enough to cut corn and reduce stands based on the heat accumulated here. For Harrison and neighboring Counties, the likely date of first cutting is May 18/19. Black cutworms will not be uniform in every field, so that allows us to look for them by scouting young stands and plan if and when an insecticide treatment is appropriate.

Last year, we had a black cutworm rarity here in the county. A few soybean fields in the Missouri bottoms near Modale suffered significant stand loss from black cutworm feeding.

(Apparently these black cutworms failed to read the rules!) There were a few other places where the damage was noted in 2010, but although not unheard of, it was unusual to have severe stand losses from this pest.

Another insect of potential note this year is

EXTENSION OFFICE RICHARD POPE Harrison County Extension Program Coordinator ropope@iastate.edu the true armyworm. It, too, flies in from the south each year, but is even less frequently an economic issue. Armyworms get their name because they tend to feed gregariously (big bunches moving like an army, en masse)! I am mentioning the armyworms, because several states south and east of here have reported large numbers. So be a bit on the lookout for these in fields that are particularly prone to armyworm feeding, primarily in fields either with or next to one with a flush of grassy weeds or winter rye, etc.

That early grass can attract the moths to lay eggs that then hatch and the larvae start feeding. If the grass is then killed by an herbicide treatment, the larvae have nothing else to eat but the emerging crop plants.

Armyworm larvae have distinctive black markings on four of their fleshy prolegs (the paired legs toward the back of the caterpillar). If you have a question, let us know.

Finally, Plant Pathologist Alison Robertson has a request from farmers across Iowa.

If you have a soybean field that develops damping off (the young plants wilt and die either at or just before emergence) let me know. Damping off usually occurs in damp to wet areas of fields). She is collecting samples for a multi-state project to study the fungi that cause the disease.

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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Just wondering The Woodbine Twiner why?

Published in Woodbine, Iowa. A Western Iowa Newspaper Group Publication of Midlands Newspapers, Inc. Nikki Davis – Editor ndavis@woodbinetwiner.com

NIK’S KNACKS

DEAR EDITOR, My name is Judi Johnson and I am the parent of Woodbine Community School senior, Gina Johnson.

When we moved here in December we were told Gina was second in the graduating class and would be Woodbine’s salutatorian.

We were recently informed by Mr. Shanks that she was not eligible due to Policy Code 505.3.

He said she needed to attend Woodbine for two years.

I got a copy of that very code and it states: Students who have not attended an accredited public or private school for their entire high school education, will not be eligible for honors and awards unless they have attended Woodbine a minimum of four semesters.

My daughter has attended an accredited public school her whole life, so this rule does not apply to her. Last Thursday I brought this to the school board

meeting and was told by the superintendant it was written for “home schooled kids.”

Once again it does not apply to my daughter.

I asked him to please read the School Board policy again, and was told, “I know what it says,” followed by, “Our attorney will have to look at this.”

How does a school board write policies and codes they are not willing to follow?

I went through the chain of command and still got nowhere. Gina was inducted to the National Honor Society and that is an award and honor.

Are they following just the parts of the policy and making up the rest as they go along?

What kind of message does this send to future residents of Woodbine?

What does this say about the school system here? I am very disappointed.

SINCERELY, Judi CataniaJohnson

Volunteers to the rescue DEAR EDITOR, During the final days of April and first part of May, the Harrison County Historical

Village and Iowa Welcome Center hosted its annual spring school program. Students from Western Iowa and Eastern Nebraska were invited to participate in a half day of four different demonstrations presented by our docents.

Demonstrations this year included rope making, log cabin and butter churning, soap making and laundry, one-room school, trapping, early farming and spinning and weaving.

This year, 1,103 students, teachers and parents participated with 21 different schools. Thirtyfour volunteers gave 488 hours of their time during the eight days of the program. Please note the above hours do not include any of the volunteer time required for preparation and set-up of the program, nor for clean-up.

The volunteers’ tasks ranged from serving as the presenters at the demonstrations, to guiding the students, to assisting in the gift shop and helping with any other job needed to complete the program. This is a tremendous commitment by volunteers to share their time and expertise with the students. It is because of their hard work and abil-

ity to put the welfare and interest of the students first that this program is such a success.

Volunteers for the 2011 school program were: • Logan: Rita Bean, Ron and Sharon Greenwood, Ruth Heim, Dorothy Hildreth, Steve and Gayle Holmgren, Paulette Jones, Jack McMillen, Kathleen Mattingly, Jim and Mary Lou Noneman, Lila Pitt, Marilyn Swift • Magnolia: Jo Lyman • Mondamin: Bob Busson, Fred and Jo Cooper • Persia: Lois Albers, Shirley Plambeck, Arlene Youmans, Carol Watson • Woodbine: Rozella Baker, Don Brooks, Irene Churchill, Audrey Cohrs, Sondra Dickinson, Barb Guyett, Juanita Johnsen, Dwight and Marian Mills, Hattie Moores, Mary Poe, Janet Wilderdyke They are an exceptional group of volunteers and the program would not happen without them. I am proud to work with them and thank them for a job very well done.

SINCERELY, Kathy Dirks Coordinator Harrison County Historical Village and Welcome Center

Woodbine second graders meet their pen-pals

In October, Woodbine second grade students travelled to Central Park, an inner-city Omaha, Neb. school, to meet their pen-pals for the year thanks to the Pen-Pal Project second grade teacher Mary Eby began 12 years ago. Eby works in partnership with friend and fellow second grade teacher from Central Park, Dee Morgan, to teach their students the differences between urban and rural life. The pen-pals explore each others’ lives by exchanging videos, letters, stories, cards and more. Their final communication comes in May, May 12 this year, when the Central Park students make the trip to Woodbine. This year, Bank of the West, Irene Kuhlman, Karon Stanislav and Susan Sturgill all provided funds for the bus to come to Woodbine. The bus fee was increased to $450 from $350 in the past. The second grade students also had a service project called Pennies for Pen-Pals where the Woodbine second graders did service projects at home to earn change. The change was collected at school and the money was sent to Central Park to apply to the bus fee. While in Woodbine, the pen-pals tour the school, meet the teachers, visit a little of the ‘country way of life’ at Pat and Lloyd DeForest’s farm and return to the Woodbine City Park where they are treated to lunch and play. The project is meant to help bring children from different communities and different backgrounds together in lasting relationships, Eby said. Pictured here are the pen-pals as they explore the DeForest farm. After playing with the animals, the pen-pals were treated to cookies and juice on the DeForests’ lawn and returned to the Woodbine City Park for lunch provided by PEO Chapter FB. Photos: Nikki Davis

Community American Legion Auxiliary held flag disposal ceremony May 6 Members of the Weiss Unit American Legion Auxiliary gathered May 6 on the property of Ed Perkins for a Flag Disposal Ceremony. The flag disposal box, made a reality by Army National Guard Sergeant First Class and Woodbine Resident Rob Neligh in July of 2010, has served its purpose. It has given tired, worn out United States Flags an interim home before the American Legion Auxiliary could perform the proper ceremony.

And the May 6 ceremony served as the final stop for 65 of those flags located in Neligh’s flag disposal box inside the doors of the Woodbine Carnegie Library.

Weiss Post Commander Dave Gardener conducted the ceremony. The five members present for the ceremony formed the traditional line as the flags were inspected and declared unserviceable.

A total of 65 flags were retired during the Weiss Unit American Legion “Let these faded flags of our Auxiliary Flag Disposal Ceremony held on May 6 on Ed Perkins’ property. Country be retired and destroyed with Perkins is pictured on the left.

Photo: Submitted respectful and honorable rites and

their places be taken by bright, new flags of the same size and kind and let no grave of our soldier, sailor or airman dead be unhonored or unmarked,” Gardner said prior to the disposal.

Before the flags were properly disposed of by flames, Gardner said a short prayer.

“We thank you for our country and its flag and for the liberty for which it stands,” he said. “To a clean and purging flame we commit these flags, worn out in worthy service. As they yield their substance to the fire, may your bold light spread over us and bring our hearts renewed devotion to God and country. Amen.”

The ceremony, including the disposal of the 65 flags, lasted only approximately half an hour.

If you are currently the holder of an unserviceable flag, it may be properly disposed of by entering into the flag disposal box inside the doors of the Woodbine Carnegie Library.

The summer recreation season is fast approaching and soon people will be descending upon Willow Lake for camping, picnicking, hiking, fishing and swimming. With gas prices continuing to escalate, we are anticipating a record year for visitation.

One of the management plans for the staff at Willow Lake is to ensure the quality of the lake water and to do everything possible to make fishing the best it can be. Over the past 10 years, nearly 2,000 feet of rock has been placed on the shorelines to protect against erosion and to provide shelter for small fish. Pea gravel spawning bed, a summer aeration system and three jetties have also been added to provide a quality fishing experience.

Now we are pressed with yet another endeavor: Brittle Niad. This is an invasive exotic species of aquatic plant.

Its origins are from Europe and it was brought to the U.S. in the late 1800’s to be used in

Antiques are in Heaven in 2011!

Walnut Antique Show June 17-19, 2011 Father’s Day Weekend

water gardens. But, like most introduced species, it has become a huge problem.

It has been found in Willow Lake as well as other area lakes in the past couple of years.

“It is important to remind people to remove all vegetation from their boats and trailers before leaving, and to drain the water from all live wells before leaving Willow Lake this summer,” IDNR Fisheries Biologist Brian Hays said. “This will help prevent the spread of exotic species like brittle niad.”

Brittle niad will grow in water up to 15 feet deep and will mat out the surface of the water.

It will also out-compete the native vegetation and make it difficult to fish from the shoreline and from boats. Because of these reasons, the Harrison County Conservation Board, along with IDNR Fisheries, has determined we need to get a handle on the situation.

The plan is to chemically treat the lake in June and follow-up spot treatments in the following years. The chemical to be used is called Sonar and, according to the label, is harmless to fish and people. It will be applied at an extremely low rate: 15 parts per billion. The BUY! SELL! TRADE!

chemical and the application cost will all be covered by the IDNR Aquatic Nuisance Species Program.

“Managing around and treating aquatic nuisance species is time consuming and costly.

Brittle niad can potentially interfere with fishing and boating at a lake if left untreated,” Hays said. “Since it is a nonnative plant that grows from a seed source, there is very little seed laying dormant on the sediment. This year’s treatment will take place before seeds are set, with the hopes that over multiple years, this exotic plant can be eliminated from Willow Lake.”

Signs will be posted in all the information booths at the park educating users the lake will be safe during this process. Staff will be able to answer any questions you may have, and we hope to see you enjoying the great things Willow Lake has to offer.

Johnson questions school board policy From BOARD Page 1 Judy Johnson, who recently moved to the community, addressed the board concerning her anger over several issues she felt the school had miscommunicated.

Her daughter, who is a senior honor student, attends classes in Woodbine and Logan-Magnolia. Johnson said she was not made aware of open enrollment possibilities, and was unclear of board policy stating students must attend WHS school for two years to be considered eligible for salutatorian or valedictorian, which her daughter could have qualified for.

Board President Amy Sherer thanked Johnson for bringing the issue to the board’s attention and advised they would look into the matter and add it to the June board meeting’s agenda so it could be opened up for discussion.

Both principals gave their reports on end of the school year activities going on. After hearing Elementary Principal Kathy Waite’s report on Elementary Track and Field Day and Awards Day, new board member Karen Lantz asked if there could be better communication with the parents on these events. She was not aware parents could attend these events and where she was to pick her child up at afterwards.

Superintendent Tom Vint went through the monthly financial report and pointed out to the board the assistant coaching positions for girls and boys basketball and wrestling still were not filled.

He questioned the board on possibly not needing to assign these positions with the numbers of athletes declining. He also suggested the board might consider

combining the high school boys baseball program with Boyer Valley, whose numbers for baseball were also down.

Vint went on to look at the Fiscal Year 2012 Regular Program and Teacher Salary Supplement Summary for Western Iowa report. He went over several figures with the board and pointed out information on this report showed Woodbine as the only school in Harrison County to show an increase in growth. With the week of May 8-14 being School Board Recognition Week, Vint handed out appreciation certificates to the board members and thanked them for their work. He pointed out with the hard economic times, the board position was not an easy one.

Other items on the discussion agenda included weekend graduation ceremonies,

the early retirement program report, the superintendent evaluation form and a possible form for complaints or miscommunication items to be followed up on. Sherer pointed out the board needed to set goals and a development plan on the superintendent evaluation form.

All five board members were present to pass the 28e agreements for the 2011-2012 school year, a contract with Iowa Western Community College for the 2011-2012 Academy and Dual Enrollment courses, a lease agreement with West Central Community Action Head Start for 2011-2012 and a bid for a new 2012, 65-passenger International school bus with two older buses being traded in.

The next regular board meeting was set for 7 p.m. on June 9.

Summer Library Reading Program From LIBRARY Page 1 logs will include records of books, pages or minutes spent reading, dependent upon their age group. The only other requirement is for students to visit the library once a week to have their log books stamped and signed by Woodbine Youth Librarian Wendy Doyel.

“When the students come in and I can check their log books, each student receives a set amount of reading dollars,” Doyel said. “These will be their key to some of the unbelievable prizes we are able to offer this year.

However, if they don’t come in, they don’t get the dollars.”

Doyel also stated extra dollars can be earned by those in sixth grade and under by attending literary based programs at the library revolving around their theme, “One World, Many Stories.” Junior high and high school students may earn their extra dollars by volunteering to help during such programs.

“Extra dollars may also be earned by completing the incentive sheets they will receive when they sign up,” Doyel said. “Some are $3 per sheet and some are $5, depending on the activity. I can’t encourage participants enough to do all they can to earn those dollars. It might be worth a NOOK Color.”

The Summer Reading Program will open with a special treat: Many Moccassins Dance Troop, a Native American dance group from the Winnebago tribe, at 6:30 p.m. June 1 at the Logan Community Center.

This program will be a comprehensive, interlibrary program, being offered by the Woodbine Youth Library, Logan Public Library, Missouri Valley Public Library and Dunlap Public Library. Many Moccasins will be performing Native American dances as well as explaining their tribal history and culture to attendees.

“This is a unique opportunity we are able to offer to

our patrons,” Doyel said.

“This dance troop is bright, colorful and active. It’s interesting for those 2 years old to 200 years old.”

Aside from Many Moccasins, Doyel also has in mind for those extra dollars, one (or two) “Read and Feeds.”

“This will allow the junior high and high school students the opportunity to volunteer while reading to our young patrons who will also have that opportunity to obtain dollars,” Doyel said.

The program is slated to run for eight weeks throughout the summer, which is a big change from the previous four weeks in years past.

Upon program completion, prekindergarten through sixth grade students will use their hard earned dollars for an end of the summer pool and pizza party and a chance and mulitiple prizes that will be available that day and the final month of the program on the prize table. The junior high and

high school students, however, will have to bypass the pool party. During the final week of the program, a prize table with age appropriate prizes for all participants, will be on display in the Youth Library. Then, on July 26, based on their overall minutes, the junior and high school winners of the NOOK Color, MP3 player and digital camera will be posted on the Youth Library doors.

“I am beyond excited to be able to offer these prizes to the junior high and high school students, and I know how much the younger participants look forward to the pizza and pool party at the end of the year,” Doyel said.

“It’s very exciting watching this program continue to grow and, if things go well this year, who knows what prizes we’ll be able to offer next year.”

Please contact Wendy Doyel at the Woodbine Youth Library with questions at 647-2750 or by e-mailing wendy@woodbine.lib.ia.us.

Welcome Center Farmer’s Market From MARKET Page 1 she said she could help us,” Dirks said. “It was around February of 2010 we decided to call a meeting to order.”

Dirks contacted Harrison County Extension Coordinator Rich Pope, Harrison County Community Development Coordinator Renee Anderson, Sproul and a handful of local vendors.

The meeting took three hours.

“Our meeting was fairly short,” Dirks said. “But we went from, ‘Do you think it’s a good idea?’ to ‘We’re having it beginning on this date.’”

Three people attending that meeting were vendors at the first Harrison County Welcome Center Farmer’s Market.

The market went so well, no one questioned whether it would happen again in 2011.

So a start date was set for May 19 and set to run for 22 weeks, with the last date set for Oct. 13.

Learning from last year’s event, a few changes have

May 18, 2011

The Woodbine Twiner

been made – but not many.

“We moved the time a little, but the market will run from 3:30-6 p.m. every Thursday May 19 through Oct. 13. Last year we stayed open until 6:30 p.m., but just saw very little traffic that last half hour,” Dirks said.

The vendors set up in the parking lot of the Welcome Center, with eight currently signed up for the summer including: • Hodges Greenhouse: Owner, Becky Hodge, Logan.

Fresh produce, baked goods, flowers, bedding plants, jams and jellies, fudge and honey.

• Ellen Dahl: Magnolia.

Fresh produce, baked goods, crafts, jams and jellies.

• Wheeler Farms: Owner, John Wheeler, Crescent.

Baked goods, fresh eggs.

• Honey Creek Creamery: Owners, Jana Feldman and Sharon Oamek, Honey Creek. Artisan goat cheese.

• Danelle Myer: Logan.

Natural produce including culinary and tea herbs, flowers such as sunflower stems.

• High Point Gardens: Owner, Donna King,

Missouri Valley. Fresh produce, crafts.

• Loess Hills Lavender Farm: Owner, Mary Hamer, Missouri Valley. Lavender including plants, fresh, dried and lotions.

• Kisced by the Son Gardens: Owner, Cathie Callaghan, Missouri Valley.

Fresh produce, herbs, bedding plants, soap, jams and jellies, gourds.

Dirks also has a few programs ready to be sprinkled throughout the summer market, such as having the Harrison County Master Gardeners attend, a (second) watermelon seed spitting contest, grilling demonstrations and more. The programs usually begin at 4 p.m.

Dirks did want potential patrons to know that the first market date, May 19, might be smaller than usual.

“Only four of them might be there on May 19, due to produce not being ready, family events like graduation and such,” she said. “But all eight will be here the most of the remaining weeks of the market.”

Aside from securing local vendors with local produce and wares for the market, Dirks also had the event certified through the Iowa Farmers Market Nutrition Program, so the vendors are able to accept Women, Infant and Children and Senior FMNP vouchers during regular market hours, trying to make the market accessible to everyone in the county.

“I like farmer’s markets and I like fresh produce,” she said. “We felt like we had good turnouts last year and, from what the vendors told us, they were pleased, too. We were worried because it’s not like you can just walk here and we understand people have to make a special effort to attend. While that was concerning, we’re lucky we’re located right on Highway 30, so we can catch commuters or those driving through. We’re excited we’re able to turn this into an annual event.”

If interested in becoming a vendor, or if you have questions, contact the Harrison County Welcome Center at 712-642-2114.

New ATM in town From ATM Page 1 and moved it through the approval process. The day received approval we were celebrating the ‘win’ for the Woodbine market.”

The new ATM will allow Woodbine Bank of the West clients access to their money 24 hours a day, since there will be no “window hours,” Beller said.

There will be no fees to utilize the machine and clients will be able to make deposits, withdraw and transfer money from checking or savings accounts.

“They can even make a car or house payment through the ATM,” Beller said. “It’s fast and convenient.”

The ATM will contain envelopes to utilize for deposits and complete the transaction by following the step by step instructions on the machine.

Beller explained it’s similar to making a deposit at a teller window, and once the check is processed, $200 of it is immediately available with remaining funds becoming available the following business day.

“Our automated teller machine will allow customers to make deposits,

withdraw cash, make payments, transfer funds between accounts, perform balance inquiries and obtain mini statements,” Woodbine Bank of the West Financial Services Consultant Terri Savery said. “The screen will be a touch screen which will make the process so easy and a lot of fun, too. I am excited to have this new ATM coming to Woodbine.”

The new ATM is scheduled to ‘go live’ on May 23.

If patrons are still leery of the new, electronic device, Bank of the West employees will be on hand to demonstrate and walk customers through various processes and pass out candy between the hours of 10-11 a.m. and 1-2 p.m. May 23-27.

“I think once our customers get used to it, they’ll realize it’s going to be great and convenient,” Woodbine Bank of the West Assistant Customer Service Manager Tara Wakehouse said. “It’s 24 hours. You can bank whenever you want.”

Bank of the West employees are happy to field any questions or concerns regarding the new automatic teller machine. They may be reached at 647-2301.

Twiner moving From MOVING Page 1 need a slightly different setup,” Taylor said. “When you only move once every 57 years, its hard to know exactly how much space you’re going to need.”

Taylor went on to say newspapers across the country are making similar decisions regarding their offices.

“As a company, we look for opportunities in each of the markets we serve to improve the work environment for our employees,” he said, noting that Western Iowa Newspapers manages newspapers in 6 different western Iowa communities.

“Often times that means selling an old building and moving into a more modern facility. Moving the Twiner not only allows our employees to concentrate more of their efforts on producing the best newspapers possible, but it also helps to ensure the financial viability of the Twiner. We feel strongly that this will help secure a strong future for The Twiner in Woodbine.”

No terms of the transaction have been disclosed, but the move is set to begin around the end of the May or early June.

The Woodbine Twiner

Classifieds FSA reminds orchardists Pacific Junction man and and nursery tree growers woman sentenced on of TAP Program firearms charges May 9 State Executive Director for USDA’s Farm Service Agency John R Whitaker reminds orchardists and nursery tree growers who suffer tree, bush or vine losses prior to Oct. 1, they must file for loss within 90 calendar days from the disaster event or the date when the loss is apparent to be eligible for benefits under the Tree Assistance Program.

“TAP provides help to orchardists and nursery tree growers who produce trees, bushes and vines for commercial purposes, to replant or rehabilitate trees, bushes and vines damaged or destroyed by natural disasters, but producers need to remember to report their losses to FSA,” Whitaker said.

Eligible trees, bushes and vines are those from which an annual crop is produced for commercial purposes. Nursery trees include ornamental, fruit, nut and Christmas trees produced for commercial sale. Trees used for pulp or timber are ineligible.

To be eligible for TAP, producers must have suffered more than a 15 percent death loss due to a natural disaster after adjustment for normal mortality.

TAP is a cost-reimbursement program, with payments covering up to 70 percent of replant costs and 50 percent of pruning, removal and other

salvaging costs for replacing or salvaging damaged trees, bushes and vines, or preparing land to plant new trees, bushes and vines.

Producers can receive assistance for a cumulative total of up to 500 acres of trees, bushes or vines for the life of the program. Producers must also have purchased a policy or plan of insurance under the Federal Crop Insurance Act or Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program.

For more information about the new TAP program, please contact your local FSA office or visit FSA’s Website at http://www.fsa.usda.gov.

Evelyn Augustine, age 49, and Joseph Lynn Belt, age 36, of Pacific Junction, were sentenced for being prohibited persons in possession of firearms and ammunition On May 9, Gustine Evelyn Augustine, age 49, and Joseph Lynn Belt, age 36, of Pacific Junction, were sentenced for being prohibited persons in possession of firearms and ammunition, announced United States Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt. United States District Court Judge James E. Gritzner sentenced Gustine Evelyn Augustine to 24 months of imprisonment, to be followed by two years of supervised release. Joseph Lynn Belt was sentenced to three years probation, to include 180 days of home detention except for maintaining his longtime employment. Judge Gritzner also imposed upon each defendant a $100 assessment for the Crime Victim Fund, and ordered the forfeiture of seven rifles and shotguns which were possessed by the two per-

sons. Gustine Evelyn Augustine remained on pretrial release and supervision pending designation of the Federal Bureau of Prisons facility at which she will serve her sentence.

On Feb. 9, a federal jury in Council Bluffs returned a verdict of guilty against Gustine Evelyn Augustine for being a prohibited person in possession of firearms. Joseph Lynn Belt entered a guilty plea to the charge in federal court in Council Bluffs on Feb. 3.

On Nov. 10, 2010, the federal grand jury returned a one-count superseding indictment against both defendants.

In the superseding indictment Defendant Augustine was charged with being a person prohibited from possessing firearms because she was a prior convicted felon

and because she was an illegal user of controlled substances. In the superseding indictment, Defendant Belt was charged with being an illegal user of controlled substances in possession of firearms. The charges arose from the exercise of a search warrant by the Mills County Sheriff’s Department on July 23, 2010. In the course of the exercise of the search warrant, the firearms, ammunition, marijuana and paraphernalia associated with the use of methamphetamine were found and seized.

This case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa. The case was investigated by the Mills County Sheriff’s Department and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The Woodbine Twiner

May 18, 2011

Sports Boys track boasts District Champs Girls track sends five events to State

Photo: Dawn Powers The 2011 Woodbine boys track team now boasts the title of District Champions after winning the District meet on May 12 with 133 points. They were followed by Hinton with 111.

“It was good,” head coach Jason Strong said.

“That was our goal before we went. To win Districts.”

The Tigers will compete in seven events with eight qualifiers. The Woodbine Tigers are sending more athletes to the State meet than any other conference competing.

The Tigers boasted five

first place finishes, automatically securing a spot at State, beginning with Alex Klein who will compete in two individual events, namely the 100 and 200meter dash. He finished them in 11:16 and 22.70 respectively.

Kyle Kuhlman was also granted a spot at State in the 200, though he finished second.

“First we’re going to compete for a place in the finals, and then we’ll compete for the chance to win,” Strong said. “And you just never know what’s going to happen in the short distances. Alex has been run-

ning well and has a shot at first in the 100. And in the 200, they might both be in medal contention. Alex might beat Kyle – but it might work the other way around, too. You just never know.”

Ethan Lenz will find himself running in the 3,200 after waiting for final results and a silver medal finish at Districts. His time of 10:53.22 made the cut.

“I hope Ethan can just run his best time,” Strong said. “I’d like to see him in the 10:30’s, which is about 10 seconds off his best time.

But it’s his goal to be on the record board, and this is how he plans to do it.”

Zack Archer secured a quadruple spot at State, after finishing with gold in the high hurdles with 16.10 and the long jump with a 19-8.25.

“Zack’s in the middle of the pack for the long jump and he needs to hit the 20’s in order to have a chance at medaling,” Strong said.

“And he has more in him in the 110’s. He’s going to have to run his best.”

Archer was also one of the two, four-man relay teams on their way to State. Archer, along with Sam Powers, Mason Mentink and Gavvon Shafer, earned first with a 1:03.75 in the shuttle hurdle relay and secured their State position and the 4x100 with Archer, Kuhlman, Shafer and Klein finished with a 47.30, leaving them second and edged their way into the State competition.

“The 4x1 squeaked in there, but they have more potential than what they’ve been showing.

We’re really going to work on that this week in practice – just passing the baton and timing,” Strong said.

Other competitors at Districts included: Kyle Kuhlman, 3rd 100-meter; Fynn Lindner, 6th 400meter; Matt Monahan, 11th 400-meter; Austin Quick, 3rd 800-meter; Jameson Delaney, 10th 800-meter; Ethan Lenz, 4th 1,600meter; Levi Brown, 7th 1,600-meter, 3rd 3,200meter; Sam Powers, 4th 110-meter hurdles, 9th 172.50; Mason Mentink, 6th 400-meter hurdles; Malachi Mentink, 10th 400meter hurdles; Spencer Ball, 5th shot put, 4th discuss; Brandon Workman, 8th shot put, 7th discuss; 4x200, 3rd, Kyle Kuhlman, Gavvon Shafer, Sam Powers, Alex Klein; 4x400, 7th, Fynn Lindner, Gavvon Shafer, Matt Monahan, Levi Brown; 4x800, 4th, Jordan Jacobson, Fynn Lindner, Austin Quick, Malachi Mentink; Distance Medley, 9th, Montana Winther, Lucas Hedstrom, Tristan Hatterman, Tanner Hedstrom.

“We got everyone in that we wanted to and had some nice surprises,” Strong said. “It would have been nice to see Brandon and/or Spencer make it in the shot or discus and Austin in the 800, but we are excited to have everyone going that we do.”

Golf wrap up: Hackman moves forward The Woodbine golf teams have wrapped up play for the season – except for one standout.

May 13 Sectionals, Dunlap It was cold and windy when the Woodbine boys golf team traveled to Dunlap to compete in sectionals.

“Cold and windy seems to be a recurring theme this year,” head coach Tim Marshall said, shaking his head in disbelief. “But I still don’t think the boys played up to their potential. I know that three of the six golfers on varsity are dealing with new experiences. It was nice for them to get that varsity experience, but their lack of experience showed at sectionals.”

The team finished fourth out of eight.

“I was disappointed we didn’t make it as a team, but there was a silver lining,” Marshall said.

The silver lining would be junior Davis

Hackman’s exciting finish, securing himself a spot to play in Districts on May 20 in Anita. Hackman is the lone Woodbine golfer continuing play this season – and it was earned.

“Davis actually tied for second with an 80 at sectionals. So they went to a play-off and Davis beat the other golfer two holes.

They tied the first hole, but Davis won the second,” Marshall said. “It’s very exciting to know he’s going to continue.”

May 9 Conference, Denison Davis Hackman was awarded first team All Conference and Joe Brown, second team, allowing the pair to compete at the Conference competition in Denison on May 9. It ended bitter sweet, with Hackman finishing just out of the top two, medaling positions in third and Brown finishing one stroke and one place behind him in fourth.

“This is one of the few

meets where it was warm – but it was windy, still,” head coach Tim Marshall said. “In the top 10 finishers, everyone was separated only by two to three strokes. It was a tight competition.”

Hackman finished with 81 on the day, and Brown, an 82 for third and fourth respectively.

“I was very – extremely – happy. So were they,” Marshall said.

May 2 Woodbine Another cold and windy day led the Tigers to a fourth of six place finish at their home meet on May 2.

“I know the boys were hoping for a better finish at their home meet, but the weather just keeps making it tough,” head coach Tim Marshall said.

Joe Brown had no complaints as the he walked away from the home meet with a gold medal around his neck after golfing a 42.

Other team contributers

included: Davis Hackman, 44; Seth Willis, 49; Chris Johnson, 57; Patrick Glackin; Jay Radloff.

May 2 Dunlap The Woodbine girls golf team wrapped up their competitive season on May 2 in Dunlap by finishing fifth of five teams at a cold and windy golf meet.

Top finisher for the girls was Courtney Schlinz, 63; Jessica Allen, 65; Alyssa Valles, 68; Melissa Sherer, 77; Heather Park, 88; and Alaina Barnum, 92.

Despite finishing fifth of five, head coach Tim Marshall holds hope for the young team.

“I know we’ve struggled this season, but I’ve seen marked improvement,” Marshall said.

“These girls tried hard.

We’ll also have three returning starters next year and it was nice for them to get the varsity experience this year. Now … we just need three more.”

The Woodbine girls track team has nothing to hang their heads about after a second place finish at Districts and being able to boast sending both individuals and relay teams on to State. The Lady Tigers finished the evening with 115 points behind District champion Hinton with 164.50.

Starting a rather cold, windy and rainy meet off right for the Lady Tigers was Ellen Cox who finished first in the 3,000meter run with a 12:25.10.

“It was a very pleasant surprise,” head coach Rod Smith said. “The girl who finished second was a good runner.”

Justina Royer also pleasantly surprised Smith by winning the 100-meter hurdles and securing a spot at State with a 16.40.

“This was very exciting,” Smith said. “She ran a great race.”

Shelby Hall contributed to bragging rights for the team in the 800 with a 2:27.10.

“Shelby ran a good time, but because of the weather, her time is iffy to make it into the fast heat at State,” Smith said.

Also securing State positions after Districts was the distance medley relay and sprint medley relay teams, both with help Shelby Behrendt, Kaitlyn Pulscher, Royer and Hall.

The sprint medley ended with a 1:57 and the distance medley with a 4:32.28.

“The distance medley will probably be in the slow heat at State, but it was an odd circumstance where they stopped the race right before we ran due to the weather. We were on the bus for 45 minutes and they weren’t going to grant us warm up time. We wound up getting a few minutes to warm up, but not as much as we would have liked.

However, we had expected to get this relay team on to State,” Smith said. “In the sprint medley, we knew West Monona was good, but we had a good lead off and Shelby had a great lead by the time she anchored. When we won this, I was so happy the girls saw me do a little jig.”

Also squeaking their way onto State based on time and not finishing placement was the 4x400 team with Paige Hackman, Hall, Pulscher and Royer.

“If these ladies run their best as a team and not just one girl or the other running their individual best, they have some possibilities to place at State,” Smith said. “I also believe the sprint medley has a small chance at medaling

since they placed eight in the state right now. And the distance medley and Shelby are both in the top 10, so their chances are there, too.”

Other Lady Tigers competing at Districts included: Stephanie Walcher, 15th in100-meter, 10th 200meter, 4x800; Heather Smith, 5th 200-meter, 4x100, 4x200; Ellen Cox, 4th 1,500-meter; Bekka Boer, 7th 1,500-meter, 3rd high jump, 4x100-meter shuttle hurdle; Alyssa Blum, 5th 100-meter hurdles, 6th 400-meter hurdles, 4x100-meter shuttle hurdle; Paige Hackman, 3rd 400-meter hurdles; Allison Lee, 4x100, 4x200, 4x100-meter shuttle hurdle; Lydia Payne, 4x100, 4x200; Shelby Behrendt, 4x100, 4x200; Sarah Boer, 4x800; Taylor Blum, 4x800; Claire Probasco, 4x800; Melissa Smith, 4x100meter shuttle hurdle; Meagan Andersen, 3rd shot put; Brittany Nelson, 6th discus.

“We got second overall and it’s bittersweet,” Smith said. “We’re still wondering about heats at State. It doesn’t look like all districts had the same, poor weather we did. Now we just hope for good weather at State.”

The State track meet is slated for May 19-21 at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.

State times include: • Cox, 3,000, 3:20 p.m.

May 19 • Distance medley, 2:40 p.m. May 20 • Royer, 100-meter hurdles, 5:20 p.m. May 20 • Sprint medley, 6:20 p.m. May 20 • Hall, 800, 9:50 a.m.
