As part of our commemoration

of the Record-News 150th yearof publishing, each week wewill feature a photo of life in

Ringgold County.

Snapshots of Ringgold Countyphotos will vary as the seasons

and events dictate.

In this photo taken in southernRinggold County, vines haveovertaken the structure of an oldwind mill.

This is the 22nd of the photos inour commemorative series.

Logan Wimer and her horse Starlight Gleaming wait in the arena duringthe National High School Rodeo championships. She says rider and horseneed to be on the same page at all times in the cutting competition.

Its been almost two weeks, butnothings going to wipe the smilefrom that girls face...

Whos the girl and why is shesmiling?

The girl is Logan Wimer, andshes smiling because she is thereigning reserve national cuttingchampion, a title she earned atthe National High School RodeoChampionships held July 14-20 inRock Springs, Wyoming.

I was very surprised, said

Wimer. Nobody from Iowa doesthat!

Apparently the judges at thechampionships didnt get thatmemo because Wimer not onlywon the opening round in the cut-ting competition, but she also satin third place heading into Satur-day nights final round against thetop 20 competitors from across thenation in the event.

Four Iowa girls had advancedto the National High School Rodeoin the cutting event. Ir onically, twocame from Ringgold county: Wim-er and Morgan Quick of Redding.However, Quick did not reach thetop 20 to qualify for the nationalfinals in the event.

In the cutting competition,competitors have just 2 1/2 min-utes to sort three calves, one at atime, from a herd of calves runningloose in the arena. Competitors arejudged not only on their ability tosort the calves but also on theirhorsemanship and their ability tokeep the herd relatively calm.

Youve got to look like youknow what youre doing, saidWimer. The rider and the horseneed to be on the same page so youknow what the horse is going to donext.

Surprisingly, Wimer rode a bor-rowed horse during the nationalcutting competition. The horse be-longs to Greg Beutenmiller fromColumbia, Missouri, Wimers cut-ting trainer for the past four years.Wimer said although she hasworked with Beutenmiller sinceher freshman year in high school,it has only been in the last year thatthey had grown close enough forhim to trust her with his personalhorse, Starlight Gleaming.

He let me use him on the lastday at Lincoln, she said, referringto a rodeo in Lincoln, Nebraskajust prior to the national finals.

Wimer just misses national titleFinishes second at National High School Rodeo

When Greg heard I had made thenationals, he made plans to bringStarlight Gleaming with him toRock Springs.

After winning the first roundwith 147 points, Wimer said hersecond round didnt go so well.Those calves were so evil, theywere just evil, she laughed. Still,

Wimer scored 142 points in theround for a two-round total of 289,good for third place overall in thecompetition and an appearance inthe Saturday night finals.

Heading into the final round, de-fending national champion SadeeSmith sat in first place with 295points, six points ahead of Wimer,

and Cheyanne Carpenter was insecond with 290 points, only onepoint ahead.

The top 20 final qualifiers drawfor their performance position inSaturday nights competition. Noone wants to be in the first posi-tion, said Wimer. I really likethe sixth position best, but I justdidnt want to go first. As luckwould have it, Wimer did draw thefirst position while Smith drew thenumber six position. I thought it

was all over, said Wimer. Imgoing first, shes going sixth. Shessix points ahead. I thought theresno way.

Point totals from the first tworounds are added to the pointsearned in the final round to deter-minate the final standings. Wimeropened the final round by scoringa 144 1/2 for a three-round totalof 433 1/2, but she said she wastoo nervous to watch the rest ofthe competition. She said she kepthearing scores like 135 and 137and 138, but it didnt dawn on hershe was in championship conten-tion throughout much of the eve-ning. Carpenter eventually scoreda 144 for a total of 434 to claimthe national championship byonly one-half point over second-place Wimer. Defending championSmith had bad luck in her finalround and scored only 138 to fin-ish third with 433 points, only onehalf-point behind Wimer.

As the competition came to aclose

A little bit of Mount Ayr history stands no more as thebuilding on Highway 2 that most recently was hometo Romanos Pizza has been demolished. The PCSBBank has purchased the property and will build anew branch office at the location, although plans forconstruction have not been set. PCSB Bank currentlyhas a branch office on the north side of the Mount

Ayr square. According to local historian Mike Avitt, thebuilding on Highway 2 had first opened in May 1965 asa Dog n Suds franchise drive-in. Over the years it hadalso been home to the B&M Drive-in, the Red CarpetInn, the Raider Inn, the Mount Ayr Diner and likely someothers. Beulah Hutchinson also recalls Hutchs Drive-inwas open in that location for a time.

Landmark gone

Cyclists overnight in DiagonalA large group of cross-country bicyclists spent the night of July 24 atFogle Lake in Diagonal as one stop on their 3,900 mile journey. Sea toSea Cyclists are a group riding from Los Angeles to New York City in aneffort to raise $3 million to fight poverty around the world. The Sea to SeaCyclist effort is believed to be the largest cross-continental bike tour ever.The United Church of Diagonal treated their guests to pie Wednesdayevening and served them breakfast Thursday morning prior to their de-parture to Chariton, their next overnight stop. Pictured below is a semi-truck filled with supplies that accompanies the cyclists on their journey.

The Ringgold county board ofsupervisors met in regular sessionMonday, July 29.

The board approved a resolu-tion to apply for funding throughthe Emergency Watershed Protec-tion program for work on threeriver channels that are affectingcounty bridges.

The projects would stabilize thechannels at the Jackson bridge, theNoble curve and the bridge northof Benton. The projects were noteligible for FEMA disaster relieffunding because they fell outsidecounty right-of-way.

Total cost of the projects wouldbe approximately $900,000, but theprogram sponsored by the NaturalResources Conservation Servicewould pay 75 percent of the total.

County engineer Zach Gunsol-ley explained the grant applica-tion could be rejected because allIowa counties may apply for fund-

ing. In addition, even if approvedfor funding, the supervisors couldelect not to accept the funding due

Preliminary sales figures from the livestock auction at the RinggoldCounty Fair showed a total of $44,912.10, compared to $60,182.50raised in 2012.

A total of 10 head of beef cattle were sold this year, bringing in$20,374.15. This compares to 12 head of cattle bringing in $22,555.95in 2012.

This year there were 35 swine sold, bringing $18,411.35. This

compares to 42 swine sold for $19,038.10 last year. In addition, fourcarcasses were sold for $1,040.A total of 12 sheep were sold this year for $2,560.10. This com-

pares with 16 sheep sold last year for $4,025.00.The poultry sale saw two poultry sold for $55, compared to 14 sold

last year for $455.There were 16 goats sold for $3,143.00, compared to nine goats

sold for $1,641.75 in 2012.There were no rabbits sold this year, compared to eight rabbits last

year which brought $255.

Almost $45,000raised at fair sale

to grant restrictions or budget con-straints.

Gunsolley added funds from thegrant would likely not be availablefor one or two years in the future.

The board also heard an updateon services provided by the RuralIowa Crisis Center. A new facility,the Crisis Intervention and Advo-cacy Center in Adel, has won the

contract to provide services for a10-county area. The Rural IowaCrisis Center had provided servic-es for a four-county area.

The supervisors are also seek-ing volunteers to fill trustee posi-tions in Liberty and Waubonsietownships and clerks positionsin Benton, Middle Fork and Poetownships.

LOOKING BACKin the Early Files

The Legend of Bad GuysThe West was peppered with bad guysWhose conduct was misunderstoodYet, today we treat them as heroesLike they were a Robin Hood.We tend to portray them as victims,Who, through no fault of their ownGrew up to be convicts and perverts,But hey, they were raised in a broken home.Theyd rob from the wealthy its storied.Theyd plunder and steal for a lark.Then pass out gift boxes on weekendsTo orphans and nuns in the park.Theyd burn down a village but were sorry,And regretted things done even worse.Darlin Nell got caught in the crossfire,They cried as they lifted her purse.They never intended to hurt folks,But accidents happen, they do!Now we speak of them all with compassion,Cause bad guys have feelings, too.We sing of their legends in ballads,We lift up their deeds in a songAnd although it sounds so romantic,To me it seems dreadfully wrong.Cause Pancho Villa was a narcisstic bag of

sheep pellets.So was Billy the Kid.Jessie James became a heroFor the foul evil deeds that he did.The bandit Joaquin was a horse thief,Claude Dallas a cowardly swain,The Sundance Kid was a scumbagWho got his thrills robbin the train.The Godfather made folks an offerHe said they couldnt refuseIf they did hed take them out swimming,wearing their concrete shoesBonnie and Clyde were both psychos,Pretty Boy Floyd was a ratAnd Pancho Villa was a narcisstic bag of sheep pellets,But I guess I done told you that.

Working church summer youth camp

Summers adventures just keep on rolling with anexperience that I havent had in many years -- workingat a church youth summer camp.

My nephew Brett Smith and his wife Nanette havebeen directors of a camp for boys in fourth, fifth andsixth grades for a number of years and they haveinvited me to take part several times. It was always atFair time at the newspaper and I didnt think I couldtake off.

So this summer I said yes and spent three dayshaving a great time with 35 absolutely delightful boysand a dedicated staff of 22 others. I greatly lifted theaverage age of the staff, but that was okay.

The theme for the week was Helium, He Lifts UsUp Magnificently, based on the scripture in James4:10 that promises to Humble thyself in the sight ofThe Lord and He will lift you up.

We had an uplifting week, literally.Brett and Nannette are known for their creativity

with the camp and this was another great example oftaking a theme and making some unforgettable memo-ries for the youngsters.

There were the usual camp activities -- archery,BB guns, fishing, swimming and the like. A dedicatedgroup of core fishermen had a line in the pond at everyfree moment. We spent a couple of hours a day in thepool. There were campfires every night and specialactivities like a water slide built down a steep hill thatran through a whole container of dish soap and whoknows how much water as the kids zipped down thehill one afternoon.

One of the funny moments of the camp came afterone of the fisherman had asked if he could store fishfillets in the kitchen freezer if he caught a big fish. Isaid that would probably not be a problem. I shouldhave been a bit more precise.

Rachel, the cook, came looking for me when myfisherman brought her three three-inch bluegills. Hesaid you would fillet these for him and he could keepthe meat in the freezer.

There wouldnt have been as much as a bite or two

to fillet and Im no master fish filleter.The fish were in plastic bags on a plate.He said they were too far gone to be returned to

the lake, she said.Just then one of them made a big flip that took it

several inches in the air and took a couple of minutesoff the life of the cook. We quickly returned the bigcatch to the lake for someone else to catch in a year totwo.

Instead of cabins, the camp was divided into labsthis year. Each lab had a male counselor that stayedwith them. During the day there was a female stafferfor each lab to provide some support as well. Thecounselor and counselors in training followed thecampers to each activity.

There were classes that were more focused on thetheme. The boys built and decorated some really beau-tiful kites in one class. There was an experimentsclass where fun science was tried. One day the classmicrowaved Dove soap into interesting abstract forms,played with magic sand which doesnt get wet socan be sculpted in water and made molecules out ofmini marshmallows and toothpicks (with many of themarshmallows ultimately ending up inside the camp-ers.)

Then there was my class. I was camp pastor andhad the opportunity of spending an hour with thecampers after supper each evening talking about the

camp theme on the gospel level.Valle discovered a website with scientific experi-ments with gospel lessons that was a great help to mypreparation. Then I set out to be a Mad About Jesusscientist for an hour each night.

I transformed myself with a slogan button coveredlab coat, a white wig of runaway hair and gray eye-brows and a mustache into Dr. Alma for the sessions.(I had to substitute the gray trappings for the whiteones I had ordered when the mail order did not arrivebefore I had to leave home.)Using some scientific principles and a magic trick

or two, I shared illustrations of gospel principleslike faith, Gods gifts, light and even walking onwater with the students. We had a great time.

The walking on water was quite a job. I had24 pounds of corn starch that was mixed withwater that made a thick goo that one could runover the surface of, yet could sink into if you juststood there for awhile.

Heres a good test of patience if you wantsomething to do. Mix three cups of water withtwo pounds of corn starch and try to get it mixedup to a consistency of thick honey. If you put thecornstarch in too fast, it will take forever. Thendo that 11 more times. Now try to keep the 24pounds of corn starch suspended in two and one-fourth gallons of water. Its a good upper bodyworkout, Ill tell you.

I was able to keep the interest of the camp-ers each evening, with many of them coming upduring the day to want to get a preview of whatwe were doing that night. And the walking onwater was even a hit when they scamperedacross the shallow plastic container that held itquoting the scripture that all things are possiblewith Christ.I hope some of the message stuck with them.The final night Brett and Nannette had theirtrademark banquet planned. Each camper had alab coat with their name and the Liahona Labssymbol that Brett, a graphic artist, had designed.There were safety googles to wear too.

Stepping inside the dining hall, campers were

in an isolation chamber where they were flashedwith light to ready them for the lab and a staffer,dressed with a backpack contraption that wouldhave done Ghost Busters proud checked themover.The dining hall was decorated with hundreds ofballoons hanging from the ceiling from paperstreamers and the tables were set up by labgroups. There was special lighting as well.

Campers donned latex gloves for their dinner,which was served to them by the staff. There wasgarlic bread -- decorated so that it looked like aculture might be growing on it -- along with fishpatties. (Our fisherman got some fish after all).A Petri dish was filled with peas on the mainplate. There was jello with some candy sprinkledin it in another Petri dish that really looked likesomething might have been cultured in it. Blue-berries were served in test tubes on the side andthe campers drank from beakers.

I dont know how dinner could have been anymore memorable.Then, because we had had some rain the night be-fore that limited possible fire damage, we finishedoff the evening in a spectacular way.

Each camper was given a paper lantern whichwe took to a hilltop. They were lit and the three-foot tall colored paper lanterns sailed off into the

dark night sky. It was a beautiful sight as theywere lifted up and floated away.We finished off the camp with a final service

Saturday morning where campers shared theirblessings from the week and ways they wantedto experiment upon Gods word in their lives. Wesent each off with an individual sung blessing forGod to be with them.

Then it was back to the pool to wait until par-ents came to gather them up. From my perspec-tive, anyway, it was truly an uplifting experience.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Friend -Having respect for those who

live and toil before us is a part oflife in rural Iowa. Their efforts arean integral part of who we are, as acommunity.

Over the years, time andweather have taken their toll onthe graves at the Ellston Cemetery,and it is time to step-up and honorthose who go before us. Yet, thereare currently 400 stones that arein immediate need of repair in ourcommunitys cemetery. Some sim-ply need to be leveled while othershave fallen, broken or need to bereset.

As you might imagine, this isa costly project. The estimated re-pair costs are $47.50 per stone, orapproximately $19,000. Becauseof the cost, we project that repairswill need to be done in stages - per-haps over four to five years.

We are contacting individu-als with relatives in this cemeteryand are working with the North-east Ringgold County Alliance

Cemetery needs attention(NERA) for assistance. Althoughwe currently have the support ofthe Ringgold County HistoricalSociety, Union Township trusteesand NERA, we need your supportas well.

Will you please consider mak-ing a donation to this project? A$100 donation could fund the re-pair of two stones and help bringthis historically-significant placeback to dignity.

Thank you for your consider-ation and donation. Our communi-ty has so much to be proud of - yetour ancestors and founders are for-gotten. Please make a tax-deduct-ible donation today, by sending acheck to NERA - Ellston CemeteryRestoration Project.

Your gift is a blessing... thankyou.

close, Wimer still didnt realizewhat she had accomplished. Asthey announced the scores, I heardthem countdown the names, andthey hadnt said mine yet, shesaid. Finally my mom came upand gave me a big hug. Then itstarted to sink in.

After qualifying for nationalsher sophomore year but failing toplace, Wimer said she had attendedthe awards ceremonies but neverthought she would someday be oneof the girls on that stage. It was areally big shocker, she said. Itsthe biggest thing thats ever hap-pened in my family.

And Wimer, the daughter ofBrian and Wendy Wimer of ruralDiagonal, was quick to point outhow much she appreciates herfamilys support throughout herrodeo career. Its a huge familysport, she said. You spend a lotof time together traveling to rodeosand during the rodeos, so you re-ally develop a special bond. Thiswas a good way to end it.

Along with the title of reservenational champion, Wimer wasalso rewarded with over $1,400in scholarships, three commemo-rative belt buckles and a custom-made horse blanket.

Looking back over her rodeocareer, Wimer recalled all the time

she had spent on her sport. She be-

gan in rodeo six years ago whilestill in junior high. After she tookup cutting four years ago, she spentmany Christmas breaks, springbreaks and several extended week-ends training in Columbia withBeutenmiller. Beyond all the prac-tice, Wimer competed in 10 highschool rodeos plus an additionalsix National Cutting Horse Asso-

ciation events per year. I know Imissed out on some friend time,especially during my senior year,she said, but in the long run it wasworth it.

A 2013 graduate of Mount Ayrhigh school, Wimer plans to at-tend the University of Missouriin Columbia and major in animalscience. Greg [Beutenmiller] toldme if I visited the campus I wouldfall in love with it, she said, andhe was right. While she has noplans to participate in collegiaterodeo events, Wimer said shewill continue to be active in thesport via events sponsored by theNCHA. And since Beutenmillerlives so close, she will be able totrain whenever she wants.

In the meantime, however,Wimer is spending the rest of hersummer working as a lifeguard atthe Mount Ayr pool. Shes easy tospot... shes the one with that bril-liant reserve-national-champion-ship smile.

Two blood drivesare announced

Dean and Rose Merrill mo-tored to her son, Rob Fugateshome for Roses 80th birthday.This day was right on the date,July 27, of Roses birth. A dinnerwas enjoyed at noon. A lot of vis-iting and laughter was had duringthe meal. The afternoon was spentviewing many pictures from pastyears. Roses four children were allpresent. They included Vickie andRobert Lewis of Marshalltown andson Brian Lewis of Des Moines;Tamara Fugate of Houston, TX;Michael and Cindy Fugate anddaughter of Des Moines, and Roband Jennifer Fugate and Jason andRiley of Saint Charles.

Earlier in the week Michael Fu-gate and son Tyler of Des Moines,Tammy Fugate of Houston, TX

and Brian Lewis of Des Moinesall went on RAGBRAI again thisyear. They enjoyed three days rid-ing together.

July 29 - Last week the newsmedia and thousands of peoplewaited for hours outside of SaintMarys hospital in London forKate, the Duchess of Cambridge,to give birth to the new royal heir.The fact that a royal birth is a pub-lic event is nothing new in history.To ensure that the child to be bornwould truly be royal, (no substitu-tions please), high officials in thekingdom would be present to wit-ness the birth. These same officialswould have been on hand to wit-ness the wedding night as well, ev-erything that the monarch did wasa matter of state. Even so, as in thecase of the warming pan baby,there were always rumors of sub-stitutions of live infants for royalprinces who had died at birth.

James Edward Francis Stuartwas born at Saint James Palaceon June 10, 1688 to King JamesII and his Catholic second wifeMary of Modena. James, a Catho-lic, had two Protestant daughters,Mary and Anne, from his first mar-riage. James was not young whenhe succeeded his brother Charles IIto the throne in 1685. Parliamentand the people seemed willing toput up with a Catholic King if it

were a temporary situation. Thebirth of a male heir, who wouldassume precedence over his royalsisters, upset these plans for a lineof Protestant rulers. Immediatelyrumors spread that the royal princehad died at birth and a millers sonhad been smuggled into the palacein a warming pan. Over 70 wit-nesses testified, including a Protes-tant midwife, that Mary had beendelivered of a healthy male infant.Parliament and the people chose tobelieve otherwise and Parliamentbegan secret negotiations with thekings oldest daughter, Mary, andher husband, William of Orange,the Dutch King, to supplant Jameson the throne.

In 1688, fearing revolutionand remembering that his father,Charles I, had been executed byParliament in 1649, James II fledto France. William and Mary, aftersigning the Declaration of Rightsof 1688, placing limitations ontheir powers, were invited to comeover and take the throne. Thus,

the birth of James Edward FrancisStuart led to his fathers depositionfrom the throne and ultimately a

new constitutional framework. TheDeclaration of Rights was madeinto law as the Bill of Rights of1689. These constitutional chang-es redrew the relations betweenmonarch an Parliament and thepeople, which lasts until this day.

Kate and Williams son, PrinceGeorge Alexander Louis, will rulea realm constitutionally trans-formed by the indirect effects ofan unfortunate royal infant, JamesFrancis Edward Stuart.

Senior Citizen

Activity Center

July 29 - It was a wonderfullycool weekend so hope you got toturn off your air conditioners andopen up those windows to getsome fresh air! Unfortunately theActivity Center does not have across breeze so they have to keepthe air on most of the time but theymay see some days when the win-dows do open up.

The Suddenly Alone programlast Thursday morning was well

attended with Max Smith givingthem information on electricity intheir homes, Dennis Pyland giv-ing them information on plumbingin their homes and Alicia Stogdillgiving them information aboutbanking accounts, fraud, etc. Un-fortunately Bill Armstrong wascalled out of town and could not bewith them but they will be havinghim back later for a full program.

Snack and game night held onSunday, July 28, was enjoyed byfive tables of at least five peopleeach playing. Some of the regularswere absent and they had somewho come in infrequently whowere in attendance. Lots of snackswere brought in and a good timewas had by all.

Monday morning the Activ-ity Center was joined by two highschool students from WestsideSchool in Omaha, NE. The teens,Tess Alzuri and Kiyah Caudell,are grandchildren of the Hoves ofBenton and are required by theirschool to complete 80 hours of

community service in order tograduate. They did two hours oftheir service at the Activity Cen-ter and helped out by cleaning outkitchen cupboards and alphabet-izing and verifying the large printlibrary books. Those at the Centerthink it is a good idea for commu-nity service to be a part of theirhigh school graduation process.

Mount Ayr Health Care Cen-ter, Clearview Nursing Homeand assisted living residents willjoin those at the Center on Mon-day, August 5, from 9:30 to 10:30a.m. Make plans to join themfor a snack and a great visit. TheLifeServe Blood Mobile will bethere Tuesday, August 6, from2:30 to 6:30 p.m. If you have notgiven blood for at least five weeksor if you have never given blood,this would be a good time to startas the LifeServe Blood Center iswhere Ringgold County Hospitalobtains their blood for use. Start anew tradition with yourself or yourfamily and give blood to help outyour community.

Kate Zimmerman, RinggoldCounty Conservation, is asking ifthere are seniors who would like tovolunteer to help man a proposed

Natural Resource Center (naturemuseum). The proposed site is onthe west edge of Poe Hollow onHighway 2 with possibly three-hour shifts working at the site.There would be training to answersimple questions about the centerand would be in charge of monitor-ing visitors. If you are interested involunteering for this undertaking,contact Kate at 641-464-2787.Right now she is just needing toknow if there are people interestedin a senior volunteer program forthe proposed center.

Those at the Center are puttingtogether another day trip for mid

to late August or the first part ofSeptember and will be giving youmore information as they get it setup. Keep watching this article forthat.

Hopefully those of you whoare interested in programs and ac-tivities at the Activity Center aregetting notification of those. Thisarticle is a good way and listeningto KSIB and KSOI for their publicannouncements are also anothergood way. If you have e-mail andare not getting their notifications,let them know at [email protected] and they will get youon their e-mail list for notices.
