Rebekah Mether,daughter of Richard andTammi Mether, Moorhead,recently had the chance tofulfill a prophecy shereceived as a child.

“When I was eight yearsold, God told me to go toChina and tell peopleabout Jesus,” Mether said.“Our friends were plan-ning a trip and asked if Iwanted to go and I saidyes.”

Mether went with threepeople from Moorhead,Minn., and three fromCanada, and had transla-tors working with them.

“The goal of the tripwas to tell people aboutGod’s love for them,”Mether said. “My momand I designed a projectcalled, “Toi Dac Biet,”Vietnamese for “I AmSpecial,” for 120 kinder-garten kids. We helped thechildren make necklaceswith the supplies we took

Kaitlyn Gochenour, a2012 graduate of Logan-Magnolia, spent her secondsemester working as a Pagefor the Iowa Legislature.

Gochenour said shewants to study PoliticalScience in college andthought this would be greatexperience.

“I eventually want to bea lawyer,” she said. “Itthought this would help melearn a little about it.”

Gochenour said she wassurprised by the number ofthings that have to be done

to get a Bill passed and theamount of work that has tobe done before it goes tothe Legislature.

“There are all kinds ofhoops to jump through,”she said. “If the majorityparty didn’t like it, it didn’thave to pass it.”

Gochenour worked asone of three LegislativeService Agency Pages inthe offices with the draftersand editors of Bills.

“I would take the draf-ters revisions to the editorsand then the editors copyto the typists,” she said.“It’s kind of confusingunless you are there.”Gochenour said 10drafters of Bills and nineeditors work in the office.

“Some days there mayhave been nothing to do,and some days we wererunning all morning,”

Gochenour said.She began her duties in

January and completedthem in May. Her hourswere, Monday throughThursday from 7:30 to 4p.m., or 8 to 4:30 p.m. orshe would stay until theywere done. Her latest shiftwas until 10 p.m.

“If the Legislature didn’tadjourn for the day, wecouldn’t leave,” Goch-enour said. “Even if wedidn’t have anything todo.”

Something thatimpressed Gochenour washow immaculate they keptthe Capitol.

“They were alwayscleaning or repairingsomething,” she said. Shealso said she got a com-pletely different feeling inthe atmosphere betweenthe Senate and the House.

“People may think it’sreally easy, but they do a

lot of work,” Gochenoursaid.

While in Des Moines,Gochenour lived in anapartment with a room-mate not far from theCapitol. She had to pay therent for it as well as utili-ties and groceries, but waspaid to work as a Page. Herroommate was fromMason City and worked asa Page in the Senate.

According to Goch-enour, the experiencetaught her a lesson aboutpolitics.

“Everyone looks at poli-tics like it’s easy. They don’tunderstand how much

work all the other peopleput into it besides thepoliticians,” she said. “Iknow how long draftersand editors worked. Theydon’t get enough credit forwhat they do.”

While in Des Moines shemet Gov. Branstad, StateRep. Matt Wind-schitl, andmany other people. She wasable to go up in the domeand was surprised that theoutside dome you see isreally not the dome.

“It blew my mind,” shesaid. “You can walk upthere in the area. I also did-n’t know the Capitol had abasement and attic.”

While working as aPage, Gochenour also tookan online class and partici-pated at Logan-Magnolia asa wrestling cheerleader onthe weekends.

“I like to keep busy,” shesaid.

Of her experience, shesaid she really liked it.

“But some parts, as withany job, you get frustratedon days. Overall it was avery good experience. Youneed to know you have togive up some of your senioryear, but it’s definitely wasworth it for the friendshipsI made and the experienceto live on my own for sixmonths.”

Gochenour, the daugh-ter of Paul Gochenour andLana Shoemaker, will beattending Simpson Collegein the fall majoring inPolitical Science with plansto go to law school in thefuture.

along.”Mether said her team

also visited nursing homesin China and gave outbananas and cookies.

“We purchased cookingoil,” Mether said. “It isvery expensive for theChinese to buy.”

They visited mountainvillages and gave gifts tohundreds of children andteachers. The team alsohad a t-shirt project andgave out hundreds ofthem to children to deco-rate.

“We made a photo but-ton for each child withtheir picture on it,”Mether said. “We didmanicures and haircutsfor anyone who wantedit.”

The team took alongbeautiful homemade can-vas bags made by KarenBurmeister of the Pisgaharea, filled with schoolsupplies. These weregiven to several class-rooms in Vietnam andChina. They also gavegifts of coloring books,pens and suckers, to peo-ple in the markets inVietnam.

According to Mether,their travels took them inVietnam to Saigon (HoChi Minh City) and inChina to Kunming,Guangzhou, Hong Kong,and small mountain vil-lages.

Their trip also included

some sightseeing, Methersaid.

“In Vietnam we went tothe Mekong Delta, sawfloating markets withhundreds of boats loadedwith produce, and boatpeople who lived on theriver, and a coconut candyfactory. The MekongDelta was my favorite partof the trip,” she said.

Communicating withthe people in the coun-tries was a challenge andthey spoke through trans-lators most of the time.

“Very few people in thevillages spoke English. Ilearned some Chinesewords like hello andthank you, andVietnamese words forhello and good work.”Mether said. “Money washard to understand. Itcost me 800,000Vietnamese dong for a fewpackages of post-cards…which was onlyabout $6 American dol-lars.”

Throughout their trav-els they stayed in hotels inVietnam and China, butalso stayed two nights inthe mountain villages.

“There were no show-ers and they had just got-ten electricity a fewmonths before our visit,”Mether said. “Houses haddirt floors and a grocerystore was shelves set up ina person’s house. Theywere built for short peo-ple and I am not short. Iwas also the only red head

in the area. One of the scariest

things, Mether said, waswhen their car was almosthit by a water buffalo.

There was a variety ofdifferent foods to try inthe two countries.

“In Vietnam we hadelephant ear fish whichwas very good,” Methersaid. “Lots of rice andfresh fruit, fish and BBQpork for breakfast.”

The menu in Chinaalso included rice andnoodles for breakfast.

“I did not eat the friedbamboo worms, but myfriends said they werereally good and healthierthan French fries,” shesaid.

From the experience,Mether learned that, “Weare very blessed and richcompared to the people Imet.” “The people inVietnam and China werevery friendly, hospitableand generous.”

As far as what influ-ence Mether felt hergroup had on the people,she wanted them to knowthat they are loved by Godand many people heardthat message, she said.

“This was the first mis-sion trip for me, but notthe last,” Mether said.“This same team is goingagain in March 2013, andI hope to join them again.I appreciate all the peoplewho gave money andencouragement for thistrip. I was blessed.”

Angela Winther said theyhave to be publishedwithin 15 days of themeeting. They can beamended but don’t have tobe republished.

Don Blackford ques-tioned if city employeeraises were alreadyapproved and Bob Deanasked at what point intime citizens could havemade comment on theraises?

“We start talking aboutraises in January when westart doing the budget,”Winther said. “The coun-cil usually has me figurethe budget with the higherpercentage and then theysee how the budget goes.They usually wait untilApril or May to settle on apercentage for raises.”

Dean said the citizensdidn’t know what percentwas decided until the lastmeeting.

“To be honest with you,there’s probably manypeople in this room thathaven’t seen a raise inyears. Frankly I have aproblem giving raiseswhen the economy is theway it is,” Dean said.

Mayor Fetter said theyhad spoken with othercities in the area as to whatpercent of raises they weregiving.

“One thing that didhelp, was our propertytaxes went down substan-tially,” Winther said.

John Espenmiller want-ed the council to know hehad walked throughMilliman Park and all ofthe trees removed had beenmarked by the stateforester.

“Many of the markedtrees have not beenremoved,” Espenmillersaid.

Winther updated thecouncil on the status of thecitizen complaint filed

with OSHA that claimedG&M Refrigeration left anelectric breaker box uncov-ered exposing employeesto live electric parts duringconstruction of the newshelter.

“Elmer (Logan PoliceChief) went to the shelterto check it out, took pic-tures and sent them toOSHA,” Winther said. “Hecalled OSHA and told themthe shelter was built byvolunteers.”

Winther said Smith wastold by the OSHA repre-sentative that volunteersdo not fall under OSHAguidelines

Winther reported that asof May 21, total expensesfor the new shelter stood at$10,574 with estimatedexpenses from G&MRefrigeration of $1,305and $500 from MikeHinkel included in thatamount. A total of $2,700in donations have beencommitted to the project.

Sandy Turner writes aweekly column called,“Down Home,” and it isone of the first things Ilook for when I open thisnewspaper. She is alwaysentertaining. One of herpast stories , “Birds of afeather flock together,”described how AlfredHitchcock’s movie, “TheBirds,” let her imaginationrun wild when flocks ofbirds gathered around. Isaw the same movie butbirds didn’t frighten me.Even reading that TippyHedron was really underattack by frenzied birdstrying to escape a confinedspace only made me fur-ther appreciate the movie.Her terror in that scenewas real, and she sufferedminor injuries. Hitchcockwas so impressed by thescene, he included it in themovie. Knowing Hedronwas not acting during theapparent attack made meenjoy the movie evenmore.

My close encounterswith birds were less spec-tacular than Turner’s andthe wild turkeys. Over theyears, I had felt bad whenour car accidentally hit a

bird, or a pheasant collidedwith the grill of our car.Had not our car and thebirds met at the same placeat the same time, the birdswould have lived theirlives as they were meantto. I never felt fear, onlymild regret.

That changed for thefirst time when we lived inEngland. Our 450 year-oldthatched roofed cottagewas supposedly hauntedand though we don’tbelieve in ghosts, my wifeand I saw and heard somethings we still can’t ex-plain. One dark andstormy night, I drovehome to get something formy wife who was workingin the base library. Snowand sleet rattled on thewindows as a strong galeroared about the house. Iturned off the light as I pre-pared to leave. At thatinstant, something made awhirring noise so close tomy face, I could feel thedraft. My heart jumped tomy throat, as I turned thelight back on, expecting tosee something. The roomwas empty and I suddenlydecided I didn’t want to bealone. Visions of evil spirits

were unfounded,because we later discoveredthe culprit. A small birdhad sneaked into our cot-tage and it picked my turn-ing off the light to fly nextto my face.

My second encounterhappened in 1995, as Idrove south on Interstate29. The day was hot, andthe driver’s side windowwas open. I drove behind asemi-truck at 70 mph as wemet a northbound truck.An unfortunate robinpicked that moment tocross the Interstate. It bare-ly avoided the truck aheadof me, but the wave of airthe truck was pushingcaught the bird. Even thatshould not have been sobad, but as the two trucksmet, the blast of airbetween them grew strong-er and took the robin northtoward my car and into the

window. During my mo-mentary horror, the birdsmashed into my sternumand bounced onto the pas-senger seat. It felt as if abaseball had struck and myheart began to fibrillate soviolently I was afraid Imight faint. I quicklyparked on the median untilI felt fit enough to continueon to my historical societymeeting. My heart beatirregularly at times foranother week or so, but itdidn’t bother me enough toconsult a doctor.

While not as catastroph-ic as a collision with a wildturkey, my encounter wasjust as memorable, espe-cially since a doctor latersaid I was lucky to be alive.It there is a bird heaven,one can imagine a wildturkey meeting a robin.One says to the other, “howdid you get here?”

Letter to the Editor

I called to let her know she had another dentistappointment that day. Her reaction was what I hadexpected – she dropped the phone, threw herself on theground and began sobbing. Repeating the word,“noooooo, noooo.”

Many of us want to have this same reaction when it’stime to hit the dentist chair, but I couldn’t blame her, shewas 11 and had already been through a lot with teeth thatmade the record books.

Celebrating their first wedding anniversary, my daugh-ter is beginning to show signs of wanting to start a fami-ly. I used this as a way to get her back into the dentistoffice, since she had avoided it like the plague after feel-ing she had been tortured as a child through the handsthat held instruments resembling pliers and drills.

I told her if she didn’t get her teeth in good healthbefore she got pregnant, they could possibly fall out. OK,I know that’s a little harsh, but it did get her to thinkabout making an appointment.

Her phobia is deep rooted, and I can’t say I blame her.For reasons unknown, as a child she had two rows ofbaby teeth on the bottom and her two front teeth fusedto the ones next to them. Trying to make room for herpermanent teeth to grow in, where they should, was howher nightmare began.

Trying to keep a kid calm when they have their mouthpropped open with a rubber block and an oral surgeontrying to pull out tiny teeth didn’t go well. Multiple tripsand finally the bottom teeth were back to normal. Wenever made it to the dentist to get the front four takencare of as she fell off the monkey bars and her older sis-ter’s elbow knocked them out.

Once the permanent teeth came in and after threeyears of braces, she was good to go, although going to thedentist wasn’t topping her list of fun things to do.

I was surprised when she called recently and asked ifI could drive her to a dentist appointment. She’s 26, Ithought, and she still can’t get to the dentist by herself?This was going to be an all day event – sedation dentistry– to have her teeth cleaned and some dental work done,while she was sleeping.

She was already pretty loopy by the time I picked herup in the morning, which was a good thing, because shewasn’t nervous. I dropped her off and waited for the callto come back and get her. Several hours later, they calledto say she was done.

Maybe it was the drugs or the laughing gas, but shewas feeling great about going to the dentist and even saidshe was going to send him a thank you card. Who sendstheir dentist a thank you card? Especially from someonewho would rather have major surgery than go to the den-tist.

Maybe it’s just an old wives’ tale that it weakens yourteeth when you’re pregnant – but I believe it’s a mother’sprivilege to tell pearly white lies.

Dear Editor,I read with interest

Kelly Hutson’s article thatappeared in the LoganHerald-Observer May 16.It brings to the forefront aserious problem that iswreaking havoc on ourculture. The problem isrelativism. When objective

truth is jettisoned, a cul-ture is left with no objec-tive standards upon whichto make decisions. Allchoices are to be consid-ered of equal value and allresults of those choices areto be equally accepted andtolerated. The result iswhat we have today that is

manifested in the killing ofpre-born children, usinglive embryos for research,re-defining marriage sosame-sex couples can“wed,” doling out end-of-life care so the elderly feelobligated to refuse treat-ment to make room foryounger patients, and the

list goes on.When the most vulnera-

ble among us (the pre-born) are not safe in whatshould be the most pro-tected environment possi-ble (the womb) then canany of us be safe?

Melons are relativelyeasy to grow. Their basicrequirements are full funand a fertile, well-drainedsoil. The planting siteshould receive at least sixhours of direct sun eachday. Heavy, poorly drainedsoils can be improved byincorporating organic mat-ter such as compost orwell-rotted manure, intothe soil.

Muskmelon and water-melon are warm-seasoncrops. Plant melons afterthe danger of frost is pastand soil temperatures havewarmed to 60 to 70degrees. Melons can beplanted in mid-May incentral Iowa. Gardeners insouthern Iowa can plantabout one week earlier.Plant one week later innorthern areas of the state.The last practical date tosow early maturing

muskmelon and watermel-on varieties is June 20.

Suggested muskmelonvarieties for Iowa includeEarlisweet, Eclipse,Athena, Aphrodite, Super-star, Ambrosia, Hale’s Best,Earlidew and Passport.Excellent watermelon vari-eties include: CrimsonSweet, Royal Sweet, San-gria, Crunchy Red, Gypsy,Millionaire, Sweet Beauty,Yellow Baby, and Amarillo.

A seeded variety mustbe planted with seedlesswatermelon varieties forproper pollination. Pol-linator seeds are oftenincluded in seedless water-melon seed packets.

Muskmelon and water-melon are usually plantedin hills. Plant four or fiveseeds per hill at a depth ofone inch. Later, remove allbut two or three healthy,well-spaced plants per hill

when seedlings have oneor two true leaves.

Hills of muskmelonshould be spaced three tofive feet apart with five toseven feet between rows.Watermelon hills and rowsshould be spaced six toeight feet apart. If gardenspace is limited, bush-typevarieties of muskmelonand watermelon are avail-able.

To obtain an earliercrop, start melon trans-plants indoors. Sow seedsindoors three to fourweeks before the anticipat-ed outdoor planting date.Plantable containers, suchas peat pots, work best asboth plant and containerare transplanted directlyinto the garden, resultingin little damage to thetransplant’s root system.Sow three or four seeds percontainer, later remove all

but two seedlings.Transplant outdoors whenplants have one or twotrue leaves. Harden theplants outdoors for a fewdays prior to planting tolessen transplant stress.Initially place the trans-plants in a shady, protectedlocation and then gradual-ly expose the plants tolonger periods of directsun.

Alternative voter

check-in set for

Harrison County For the first time,

Harrison County voters atthe June 5 PrimaryElection will have theoption of using an Iowadriver’s license or voter IDcard to expedite thecheck-in process. CountyAud-itor Susan Bonhamsaid barcode scanners willbe available to voters inall precincts for a fasterand easier check-in pro-cedure.

“The scanners read thebarcode on the back ofthe voter’s driver’s licensein order to search for andselect the correct voter.The process is fast andaccurate, but it is thevoter’s choice whether touse their driver’s license,”she said.

“For voters who do nothave a driver’s license orchoose not to use it, theprecinct official will typein the voter’s name thesame way they have donein previous elections,”Bonham said.

The system will alsowork with a non-driverID card from the IowaDepartment of Transpor-tation or a voter ID cardfrom the county auditor.

“I believe this is anoth-er important step in mygoal of ensuring thatevery election in HarrisonCounty is conducted in asafe, secure and efficientmanner,” Bonham said.

This will be the firstmajor election at whichthe alternative check-inprocedure will be offered.Bonham said she believesthe 42 Iowa countiesusing the alternativeprocess are the first in thenation to scan driver’slicenses and voter ID’s tocheck-in voters. Sheadded that in the sevencounties that have pilotedthe scanning process overthe past six months, vot-ers in large numbers vol-untarily chose to use theiridentification cards.

The scanning processwas developed by CerroGordo County as a recentimprovement to thePrecinct Atlas softwareprogram. That programhas received two nationalawards and is currentlyused in 56 Iowa counties.

ty might not be done by the 4th ofJuly, but it looks like it will be com-pleted by then. The City Clerk

reported that on May 11th the Citygot a phone call from OSHA claim-

ing that a concerned citizen hadplaced an anonymous call toreport that G & M Refrigerationhad left an electrical breaker boxuncovered, exposing employees tolive electrical parts during con-struction of the new shelter.

OSHA explained toChief Smith that volunteers don’tfall under OSHA guidelines. TheCity Clerk stated she had tried tofind out the name of the personthat had called OSHA so that shecould let them know that therewasn’t an issue because the wiresweren’t hooked up and thereforecouldn’t harm anyone. OSHAwould not give out the name of thecaller.

Citizen’s questions/comments:Chris Hartwig stated that theCouncil set the date for the publichearing and the council meetingand there were not enough councilmembers here at the meeting totake care of the agenda items.

Nowthere has to be a special meetingso it’s going to cost the City moremoney. He also stated that he did-n’t know the reasons the councilmembers were not at the meeting,but he thought they could havemade a phone call or something tomake changes before the publica-tion in the paper. Hartwig alsostated to the Park Board that thepavilion looks very nice, and it’s agood asset to the City Park. Hesaid he applauds the Park Boardfor all of the volunteers that havespent a lot of time getting it done.Bill DeWitt asked if there is a limitof time in which the minutes aresupposed to be published in thenewspaper. He stated in the lastcouple of months he knows someof them have not made it in time.He asked if there are some nowthat aren’t making it in time. TheClerk stated that except for one setof minutes, they have been pub-lished in the newspaper on timebut not always approved by thecouncil. DeWitt asked if there areany ramifications of minutes notbeing published in time. The Clerkstated that she could be chargedwith a misdemeanor per StateCode. The State Auditor advisedher to attach the supporting docu-ments for why minutes were notpublished in a timely manner to herminutes to alleviate being writtenup. Mike Johnson stated that theClerk is responsible to have theminutes published in two weeks.He asked if the Council doesn’t likethe minutes, does the Clerk haveto amend them. The Clerk statedthat they are amended but theydon’t have to be republished. Thenthey would be approved at a coun-cil meeting on the consent agendawith a description of the amend-ment. Don Blackford asked if thecity council raises have alreadybeen approved. The City Clerkasked if he meant the city councilor city employees. He stated that itwas 3%. The City Clerk verifiedthat it was for city employees, andit was approved at the last councilmeeting. Bob Dean asked at whatpoint would there have been publiccomment on raises. The City Clerkstated that it was on the agenda atthe last council meeting and theone before that. Mr. Dean statedthat it was voted on before the citi-zen’s had a chance to comment.He said basically you brought it up,you voted on it and approved it,and the public was never given theopportunity to make any com-ments. The City Clerk stated thatraises are discussed beginning inJanuary and February in the budg-et work sessions, which are opento the public. In April or May thepercentage is decided by thecouncil. The Clerk stated that itcould have been discussed any-time in there. Mayor Fetter statedthat it should have been discussedwhen it was on the agenda the firsttime. Mr. Dean stated that theydidn’t know what the percentagewas until the last meeting, and itwas decided and voted on beforethe citizens had a chance to puttheir two cents in. He stated thatthere are several people in thisroom that haven’t seen a raise inyears. Whether this is a smallraise or not, it doesn’t matter. Hepersonally works for the govern-ment too, and he hasn’t seen araise in going on two years. Heknows there are probably otherpeople that haven’t seen a raise.He also stated that with the econo-my the way it’s going, shouldn’t webe trying to reserve every dimethat we can to keep in the city cof-fers before we start spending. Hestated that he doesn’t think theemployees do a bad job, but hedoesn’t feel he does a poor job orhalf of the people in this communi-ty don’t do a poor job. Financially,he has a hard time swallowing giv-ing raises out when the rest of thecommunity doesn’t have that luxu-ry. At no point did he see in a pub-

lic hearing or forum like this theability to have the public make acomment. The City Clerk statedthat every time it has been on theagenda, the Council has had thefigures in front of them. Mr. Deanstated that he had not been toevery single meeting. MikeJohnson stated that a resolutionhas not been passed so any com-ments would be acceptable now.Bill DeWitt stated that he was sur-prised that we didn’t hear anythingabout what our neighboring com-munities are with regard to raises.The City Clerk and Mayor Fetterboth stated that we had talkedabout what the County and otherarea cities are giving for raises.The Clerk also stated that shethinks the one thing that helped isthe fact that our property taxeswent down so substantially. Theywent down over two dollars (of thecity tax levy). Mayor Fetter remind-ed the citizens that this decreasein taxes is for the next budget year.

John Espenmiller spoke in ref-erence to the cleanup at the park.At the last meeting it was dis-cussed by the citizens and councilmembers that some trees mayhave been removed that weren’tmarked by the state forester. Mr.Espenmiller went to the park andverified that any trees that wereremoved had been marked. Hestated that a great many trees thatwere marked have not beenremoved yet. Another statementmade at the last meeting was thatthe people that cleaned at the parkcreated a road. Mr. Espenmillervisited with some residents ofLogan that have lived here for along time, and they said that fromwhere the old boy scout shelterused to be and down that hill thatspills out into the park, there was aroad. The City took a road graderup there over fifty years ago andflattened it all out so the kids wouldhave a place to sleigh ride. Hestated that if it gives the appear-ance of a road, it was the City thatcreated it, not the people who werecleaning up the park. GaryNordby had mowed a wide path tohelp with the removal of the treesand brush that were taken out. Mr.Espenmiller stated that he couldnot imagine in any circumstancethat Mr. Nordby would continue tomow a twenty foot wide paththrough the park. He stated that afour to six foot wide path is going tobe sufficient for a walking trail.Nikki Allen stated that the ParkBoard is raising money for the sur-vey at Milliman Park. They will bedone soon.
