Two active 4-H mem-bers say they get morefrom the Harrison CountyFair than just ribbons.

“All the leadership Ihave learned through 4-Hhas been carrying over intoschool, sports and every-thing else I participate in,”says Emily Dickinson, asenior at Logan-MagnoliaHigh School.

Dickinson has been in4-H for nine years, show-ing everything from hogsto presenting exhibits.Each year has been differ-ent for her when it comesto preparing for the fair.

This year was kind oflike her last seven when itcomes to showing hogs butshe decided to add some-thing else to the mix ofthings and run for countyfair queen.

“Each club can elect onecandidate to run,” saysDickinson, who has thehighest GPA in the entireschool. “After that, we

apply and then go throughan interview process thatasks about current events,background on yourselfand citizenship.”

On July 17, they had thecrowning of the HarrisonCounty King and Queen.Dickinson’s name wasannounced as the Queenand she was presented withthe crown.

“It is a great honor forme to get this,” saysDickinson, a three sportathlete. “From here I willgo and compete againstabout 100 other CountyQueens for the title of IowaState Fair Queen.”

Dickinson starts prepar-ing for the fair in Aprilmost years, when she isn’tinvolved in everything atschool like choir, speech,band, sports and variousother clubs.

“I really just like beingin the moment,” saysDickinson, who presenteda project this year on a 4-Hbased camp she went to inJune.

Making the best better isthe 4-H’s tagline, and

Dickinson says it can betough making that happenthroughout the year whenpreparing for the fair.

“With the hogs you real-

ly have to watch themclosely,” says Dickinson,

Another member of 4-H, Jalen Malone, has beenshowing cattle for threeyears now. He says thatpreparing the calves for theyear can be a lot of work.

“You have to walk them,wash them, and make suretheir hair is laying the rightway,” says Malone, whowill be a seventh grader atBoyer Valley School.

Malone says that if youare out there everyday

training them and teachingthem the lead, it can takeabout three months to geteverything just right forthe fair.

“I go to other showsthroughout the year towatch other people andmake sure I am doingeverything the best I can,”says Malone, a member ofthe Dunlap Knight Riders.

Malone only takes hiscattle to two shows duringthe year; the HarrisonCounty Fair and the FourCounty Fair. He says hedoesn’t ever plan on takinghis cattle to the state fairthough.

“I think that 4-H is great

to get kids outside andwork with animals and it isjust a great experience,”says Malone, who also isinvolved in photographythrough 4-H.

Just like Dickinson,Malone is also involved insports at school to keephim busy outside of all thethings he does for 4-H.

“People just think all weare about is showing cattleand corn or just about thefair,” says Dickinson, “butit has so much more tooffer than that.

“It is a wonderful pro-gram and I think that peo-ple just need to look moreinto it.”

This Share the Fun Skit at the Harrison County Fair July 19, by members of the MagnoliaHillbills, included “cows” and “chickens” and earned them a trip to the State Fair alongwith Kendra Holcomb who performed “The Mouse that Saved the World,” and BrittanyMagill, who performed a vocal solo.

The Roman Empireused an effective schemeto neutralize its enemiesand conquered provinces.They took hostages andsent them to major citiesto demonstrate all thatcivilized life could offer.This plan helped keeppotentially rebellioustribes in line, becausethey didn’t want harm tocome to their friends andrelatives. Most were easilyeducate able young peo-ple who were taught to beRomans and a psycholog-ical process called immi-grant syndrome causedmany of the hostages tobecome more Romanthan most natives.

Herman was such ayoung man. Though hestill loved his native land,the blandishments ofreading, fine homes,entertainment, and run-ning water seduced hismind. He became a sol-dier and enjoyed the payand camaraderie. Heworked his way throughthe ranks and distin-guished himself withmajor victories inHungary. In addition tobecoming a citizen, hisemperor bestowed the

equivalent of knighthoodon Herman. To the publiche was a minor celebritylike British soccer starDavid Beck-ham. All heneeded was to meet theequivalent of VictoriaSpice Girl. Life was good.

A former governor ofSyria was transferred toGermany, and Hermanwas one of the trustedgenerals sent with him.Germany north of theRhine River was officiallyoutside of the Empire, butthe Romans maintained astrong presence there.Germans and Romanstraded and Romans oftenhired Germans as merce-naries. The country wascomposed of largely au-tonomous villages thatbefore the Romans, spentmuch of their time fight-ing each other. TheRomans imposed orderand fostered personalnegotiations to imposepeace and order. Inreturn, small bands ofGermans raised the richtowns and farms of Gauland other borderlands.

The new governordecided to stop barbarianraids, and he treated theindependent Germans as

if they were Roman sub-jects. Herman grew angryat the disrespect andauthoritarian attitude thegovernor imposed on theGermans, especially sincethey were outside of theempire. Slowly, a secretplan evolved. Hermanmet with town and clanleaders and told them ifthey united, they coulddrive the Romans out.The clans waited untilRome sent 20,000 elitetroops deep into Germanterritory. The soldiersentered dark forests, butas with the Roach Motel,they never returned.

The Emperor deployedanother Army to searchfor the missing soldiers.Eventually, they foundpiles of bleached bones.The psychological effecton the Romans wasgreater than news ofCuster’s last stand..

Barbarians had destroyedsome of the world’s bestsoldiers. Moreover, theyhad left the bonesunburied. Romansbelieved that unburiedsouls could not cross theRiver Styks and weredoomed to wander theearth.

The Emperor wasdetermined to avenge thisinsult and sent anotherArmy. The Germans roseup, captured the governorand sent his skull toRome. The psychologicalblow was tremendous asthe newly energizedGermans fought they waysouth. Even-tually, Alarikthe Goth, lad siege andoccupied Rome in 476.

Germans creditedHerman with unitingthem for the first time.Now, they honor himwith a statue called,“Herman the German.”

Letters to the Editor

If you want a true picture of the shape society is in,don’t pay attention to what’s being reported in the news.For every wrong, there are more rights – as our true col-ors are in what we do, not what we have.

We’re all so busy worrying about the economy of thecountry or the rising crime rate that we don’t take time tonotice the everyday good deeds that are happening allaround us.

I was rushing out of the grocery store, mentally check-ing off the list of the many things I had to do that day.Stress was getting the best of me, as my temper seemedto be as high as the heat index.

Trying to get my keys out of my purse, I dropped thebag of groceries and my purse, and then watched every-thing sprawl out across the floor. This was the last thingI needed to happen.

People stepped around the chaos, looking down at melike I had lost my mind while I talked to myself andsweated profusely. A little boy stopped and helped meput everything back in my bag and simply said, “have agood day lady.” That’s what I’m talking about – one smallgesture – and it was a good day.

It’s easy to know the right things to do – althoughsometimes it’s much harder to do them. Kind of like vol-unteering to help build a house when it’s so hot outsideyou can bake cookies on the dashboard of your car.

When my boyfriend volunteered his time to help builda new home for a local veteran who had been injured ina roadside bombing in Iraq, who knew it would be thehottest day of the century?

Although I worried myself sick that he would get sick,he spent 10 hours wiring a house without a roof to pro-vide any shade, without any complaints. This is one ofthe many reasons why I love this man. I love to be con-tinually amazed by his generosity and goodwill to thosehe doesn’t know or will ever meet.

He uses his skilled craftsmanship and expertise tomake a living but always remembers to pay it forward.I’m so very grateful to be sharing my life with someonewho will put his needs and wants on the back burner forthe sake of someone else.

Hundreds of people shared this same passion withhim, as they gave of their time to build a new home inone week’s time. This project was orchestrated by the TVShow, “Extreme Home Makeover,” with a Blue Springsdeveloper stepping forward to take on the challenge ofmaking the dream of a new home come true for someonewho nearly lost his life while protecting our freedom.

Look for the true colors coming from people every-where, all the time, and you will realize there is muchmore right in our world, than there is wrong.

Dear Editor,I am writing, in con-

cern, of the recent councilmeetings. I am a long timecitizen of Logan. First of all– I don’t know why thereare so many people at themeetings that don’t evenreside in Logan. This is citybusiness. I was appalled atall the outbursts andthreats at the last meeting.The council is taxpayingcitizens and we shouldn’tforget that. They arehuman and they are look-ing out for the town andthe people who live here.That is their job. If theyanswered all the phonecalls that are going out tothem, that’s all they wouldget done. All the emails,tweets and texts are notdoing anyone any good. Ascitizens, I think we shouldsit back and be patient andbe trusting. As far as Skip,Dee and Nick – I reallywouldn’t call them trans-plants. I felt ashamedwhen I found out thatsomeone pulled upJohnson’s flowers andthrew them on their porch.How juvenile. Also, thepeople who are agitatingand saying snide remarksshould be handcuffed andremoved. Most of those donot even live in Logan, andto compare our citizens to

traitors that should beshot. How terrible.

Angela was fired forinsubordination. I’m sorrythat had to happen, butwhen others, myselfincluded, have lost theirjob, they didn’t stir up thetown. I think we should bepatient and see how thingscome out. When I went tochurch a while back, theHomily was – Do not judgeyour fellow man. Thisaction from the councilwas nothing to do withMilliman Park. That wastabled until the city parkwas completed. Life is tooshort to fight.

Maxine Lesline Logan

Dear Editor,Did the Logan City

Council consider the goodof the city before theydecided to terminate thecity clerk/administratorAngela Winther? Why did-n’t they follow the“Policies and Procedures”in the “EmployeeHandbook” regardingemployee discipline? Hereis the proper processregarding the discipline ofemployees. First: Talk tothem about what they didwrong. Second: Write aformal reprimand letter if

needed. Third: If theemployee disregards yourwarning you can terminatethem but you need to havethe proper documentationand proof of what they didwrong. The council hasnot given Angela Wintherwritten reasons for her ter-mination other than stat-ing “insubordination” atthe special council meet-ing on July 6, 2012.

Did the Logan CityCouncil consider who willcomplete the reports at theend of the fiscal year? Thecity administrator needs tocomplete those reportswithin certain timelines.There are penalties that acity will incur whenreports aren’t done in theallotted time. If you arelate with the Street RoadUse Report, the State willwithhold the money duethe city each month untilthe report is filed. Thiswould be around $12,000a month.

Did the city attorney, JoeLauterbach, ever behave inan unprofessional waywhile representing the citycouncil through the yearshe was their attorney? Asfar back as I can remember,Joe Lauterbach helped thecity with many problemsover the years I was cityclerk/administrator and he

was always ready to servethe council.

Did the city council for-get how much Angela hasdone for the city? Angelawrote many grants for theAquatic Center and manymore, and was quite suc-cessful. She was deter-mined to see the Jim WoodAquatic Center become areality. Many peoplehelped but she steered theproject through to the end.She helped establish aswim team and always vol-unteered to help set upswim meets. She did every-thing possible to make thedreams of having a won-derful aquatic center cometrue. She loves the city ofLogan and helped makeLogan a better place tolive.

If Angela had conversa-tions with the city attorneyout of frustration of all thecity and state codes thecouncil disregarded andalso because the counciltabled so many agendaitems, including ordi-nances and resolutionsthat needed approved in atimely manner, “did sheand the city attorneydeserve to be terminated?”

To celebrate the success-es of the Main StreetDowntown Revitalizationeffort and the grand open-ing of the Brick StreetHistoric District, the resi-dents of Woodbine and thesurrounding area, areinvited to attend aCommunity RibbonCutting CeremonyMonday, Aug. 6.

Iowa Governor TerryBranstad will be on handto take part in the ceremo-ny. The Governor will beflanked by members ofcommunity organizationsand civic leaders. Oneadult and one child fromeach group will be at theevent. They represent thepresent and the future ofWoodbine.

Prior to the ribbon cut-ting, there will be a re-stag-ing of an historic photo-graph, featuring the citi-zens of Woodbine watch-ing a cavalcade of automo-biles proceeding downWalker Street. In the leadauto is the famous oratorand lecturer WilliamJennings Bryan.

The photograph, takenin 1911, also features sev-eral familiar landmarksincluding the Woodbine

Savings Bank building. AChautauqua banner hangson the side of the streetand the dirt thoroughfareis lined with horse-drawncarriages.

The idea to re-create thephoto was initiated byMain Street ChamberDirector Deb Sprecker andmembers of the MainStreet Design Committee.Sprecker said peoplealways commented on thephoto when visiting heroffice and she had alwaysbeen interested in re-creat-ing an old photograph.

“It seemed like it wouldbe a lot of fun,” she said.“It’s turned into a lot ofwork.”

In addition to gettingthe dozens of people need-ed as background extras,Sprecker and crew andhave been seeking outantique and classic auto-mobile owners that couldparticipate. The plan is tohave a line of cars repre-senting various decades,including a horse and car-riage.

“We want all decadesrepresented,” she said.“The cars would get morerecent as the line pro-gressed. At the end we planto have a giant John Deeretractor.”

There will be bannersand flags, like those in theoriginal picture, but withmore contemporary mes-sages. Also, Zell Millardwill take the place of theHonorable WilliamJennings Bryan in the newphoto. He will be accom-panied in the front car byWoodbine Mayor BillHutcheson.

The streets will startclosing at 3 p.m., Aug. 6.The re-staging will takeplace at 5 p.m., with theribbon cutting scheduledfor 5:30 p.m. This will befollowed by a DowntownCommunity Open Housefrom 6-7 p.m.

“It’s a twist on the tradi-tional ribbon cutting,”Sprecker said. “Hopefully,everyone will come outand enjoy the Big Doingsin Woodbine Town.”

The following intersections will be closed for the re-stag-ing event: Walker and Fourth Street; Walker and FifthStreet; and Walker and Sixth Street. Parking will beavailable around the Creamery Building on Sixth Streetand in the community lot behind Woodbine Savings.

Gift of Love to Harrison County

Gene Pitt, Logan, center, presents his book on the History of Harrison County’s One-Room Schoolhouses to Linda Dickman, left, and Elaine Ehlert, right, members of theHarrison County Genealogical Society, Woodbine. The presentation was in Merry BrookSchool in honor of the book’s focus. Pitt said he was surprised at what few pictures ofthe schoolhouses were available for his book. “I did get quite a few, but just a fractionof what I wanted,” he said. A big surprise he found during his research, was that at onetime Harris Grove School was in a two-story building, “like a hotel,” he said. It was torndown eventually. Twiner photo.

Panthers end season with loss to St. AlbertThe Lo-Ma baseball

team ended its season witha 24-6 record.

“The dedication theguys have shown this sea-son really needs to be com-mended,” said coach WillAzinger. “I’m really proudof all our seniors. They aregoing to be missed.”

Playing their first dis-trict game, the Pantherstraveled to Dunlap to facethe Walnut Warriors. Lo-Ma came away with thevictory with a 10-0 win.Getting the win for thePanthers was Nate Fender.He pitched seven inningsallowing no runs on seven

hits and striking out four.The Panthers didn’t getrolling until the thirdinning when Fender andBrett Greenwood reachedbase on balls. Singles fromBrady Charbonneau andZack Powley scored thefirst two runs for thePanthers. Lo-Ma scoredfour more runs in thefourth inning on a doublefrom Fender and singlesfrom Greenwood, BrennanAzinger, Logan Melby andGrant Whisney. The Pan-thers went on to score fourmore runs to guarantee thewin.

Fender went 4-for-4 at

the plate while Powleypounded out three hitsincluding two doubles.Greenwood and Melby hadtwo hits each andCharbonneau, Quin Mann,Azinger and Whisneyadded one hit.

Lo-Ma’s season came toan end with their seconddistrict game, falling to theSt. Albert Falcon’s 5-1.

Quinn Mann was thestarting hurler for thePanthers. Mann pitched sixinnings allowing five runson eight hits. Greenwoodscored the Panther’s lonerun in the first inning.Defensively, Lo-Ma played a

great game committingonly one error during thegame. Offensively, thePanthers left 13 runners onbase. The game was any-body’s until the sixth inningwhen the Falcons scoredthree runs to assure thewin. Getting hits for thePanthers were Greenwoodand Logan Melby who hadtwo hits while Fender,Charbonneau, Powley andMann had one each.

To celebrate the suc-cesses of the Main StreetDowntown Revitalizationeffort and the grand open-ing of the Brick StreetHistoric District, the resi-dents of Woodbine andthe surrounding area, areinvited to attend aCommunity Ribbon Cut-ting Ceremony Monday,

Aug. 6.Iowa Governor Terry

Branstad will be on handto take part in the ceremo-ny. The Governor will beflanked by members ofcommunity organizationsand civic leaders. Oneadult and one child fromeach group will be at theevent. They represent thepresent and the future ofWoodbine.

Prior to the ribbon cut-ting, there will be a re-staging of an historic pho-tograph, featuring the cit-izens of Woodbine watch-ing a cavalcade of auto-mobiles proceeding downWalker Street. In the leadauto is the famous oratorand lecturer WilliamJennings Bryan.

The photograph, takenin 1911, also features sev-eral familiar landmarksincluding the WoodbineSavings Bank building. AChautauqua bannerhangs on the side of thestreet and the dirt thor-oughfare is lined withhorse-drawn carriages.

The idea to re-createthe photo was initiatedby Main Street ChamberDirector Deb Spreckerand members of the MainStreet Design Committee.Sprecker said peoplealways commented onthe photo when visitingher office and she hadalways been interested inre-creating an old photo-graph.

“It seemed like itwould be a lot of fun,”she said. “It’s turned intoa lot of work.”

In addition to gettingthe dozens of peopleneeded as backgroundextras, Sprecker and crew

and have been seekingout antique and classicautomobile owners thatcould participate. Theplan is to have a line ofcars representing variousdecades, including ahorse and carriage.

“We want all decadesrepresented,” she said.“The cars would get morerecent as the line pro-gressed. At the end weplan to have a giant JohnDeere tractor.”

There will be bannersand flags, like those in theoriginal picture, but withmore contemporary mes-sages. Also, Zell Millardwill take the place of the

Honorable William Jen-nings Bryan in the newphoto. He will be accom-panied in the front car byWoodbine Mayor BillHutcheson.

The streets will startclosing at 3 p.m., Aug. 6.The re-staging will takeplace at 5 p.m., with theribbon cutting scheduledfor 5:30 p.m. This will befollowed by a DowntownCommunity Open Housefrom 6-7 p.m.

“It’s a twist on the tra-ditional ribbon cutting,”Sprecker said. “Hopefully,everyone will come outand enjoy the Big Doingsin Woodbine Town.”

Twenty-six youth fromMissouri Valley, LittleSioux, Woodbine, Logan,Harlan and Shelby and twoyouth robotics mentorsfrom Logan, participatedin the third year of theHarrison County 4-H LegoMINDSTORMS NXTRobotics Camp at Logan-Magnolia ElementarySchool.

“4-H has a mission toprepare a million youthacross the nation to choosescience and engineeringcareers for their future,”said Camp Director DavidSeilstad. “Over 65 percentof the engineers in Iowawill be retiring over thenext decade creating aneed for today’s youth totake on engineering rolesfor their future careers.”

Robotics training kitsfor the camp were pur-chased through a grantfrom the Harrison CountyCommunity Foundation.

The youth were splitinto eight teams to workon building and program-ming their NXT LegoRobots. About half hadnever worked with robots,so they were introducedthat working with robotsinvolves figuring out what

they want the robot to do,then breaking that downinto steps the robot mustcomplete and translatingthat into computer soft-ware instructions that willallow the robot to followexact instructions.

Teams were given achallenge each day tomake robots perform spe-cific tasks that were pro-gressively more difficult.

On day one, they werechallenged to build theirNXT Lego Robot and learnbasic programming. Daytwo, robots had to be pro-grammed to make twotypes of turns and drivearound the outside of afour foot square mat andend in the same squarethat they started in. Theywere also introduced tothe robotic vacuum chal-lenge to get robots to vacu-um a set room like aRoomba robotic vacuum.All programming wascompleted so that theyouth would start the pro-gram and the robot had tocomplete the challengeswithout youth touching it.

Day three, teams pro-grammed robots using anultrasonic sensor to drivetowards a wall, stop 10-

inches away and turn anddrive 12 rotations alongparallel with the wall.

They were introducedto Legolus, the sumowrestling robot built bythe award winning Logan4-H High School ITAdventures Team, thatcompeted at Iowa StateUniversity last spring. Twoof the more experiencedteams, built a robot tochallenge Legolus, butLegolus was successful inhis matches against thechallenger robot.

Day four challengeswere to program robots touse a light sensor and havetheir robot follow along astraight line for 10-feet,then follow a line around asix-foot square and use athird motor as an arm topick up and drop offobjects.

On the final day, thegroups prepared robots forcompleting from one tofive missions on a four-foot by eight-foot LEGOLeague Challenge Mat. Itinvolved robots complet-ing tasks on the boardinteracting with the mis-sion challenge apparatusesto open a flood gate, trans-port researchers, transport

insulation and a bike to ahome area of the board,collect an ice core andbring back to base or driv-ing around obstacles toend in a target area.

Many of the youth willparticipate on one ofseven FIRST Lego League(FLL)4-H Club Teams inthe county that build andprogram robots alongwith researching and

developing a communityconnection for the themeof the 2012 FLL season,“Senior Solutions” withengineering. The teamswill look at how engi-neering can improve thequality of life for seniorsby helping them continueto be independent,engaged and connected tocommunities.

Teams will be forming

this fall in MissouriValley, West Harrison,Woodbine and threeteams in Logan. For moreinformation on how toget involved in a FIRSTLego League 4-H ClubTeam, contact theHarrison CountyExtension Office or visitthe Harrison County 4-HFIRST Lego League web-site.
