To her father, it is the gift of life. To the rest of us – it is a lesson in what “family” truly means. For former Twiner Jona (Boyce) Williams, 38, the biggest issue in her life isn’t her April 27 operation at the Uni- versity of Minnesota to donate a kidney to her ailing father. It is for her father to regain his health. “Everyone else is more worried than I am about the surgery,” Williams, who now lives in Maple Grove, Minn., but still considers Woodbine home, said. “But, I’m young, in good shape, and healthy. I’ve read up on what I will go through – I know what is ahead. I am more anxious for my dad to get healthy. I want him to get healthi- er so that he can travel and see his brothers and sisters.” The family’s saga began about a year and a half ago, Jona said. “My dad hadn’t been feeling well for awhile and hadn’t been to the doctor in a long time,” she said. “By the time he got to his doctor, his kid- neys were functioning at a low level. He went on dialysis and a renal diet, which really limits your ability to do and enjoy things.” At first, Jona said, her dad was too sick to qual- ify as a transparent can- didate. However, his health improved and he became eligible. So, she went in to be tested to see if she could donate a kidney. “I knew we were the same blood type,” Jona said. “It was something I wanted to do.

It also is about sharing those spe- cial memories with their pen pals. To the teachers, it is about language arts, so- cial studies, citizenship and sharing. It also is about fun and building bridges between two different communities and two different states. To Lloyd and Patricia DeForest, whose family farm has served as the Woodbine host visit site for the program for all of its 13 years, it is about sharing a life and life- style fast disappearing – even from our rural landscape – with young- sters who have never experienced a farm – or even mud. Mary Eby, Woodbine Elementary School Se- cond Grade teacher and coordinator of the Pen Pal program, said the partnership with Cen- tral Park School second- graders grew from her daughter, Kim, when she attended Creighton University, Omaha. “Kim’s good friend at Creighton was Mindy Morgan,” Eby said. “Mindy’s mom was the second-grade teacher at Central Park. We began talking and decided to be pen pals. We both have loved the exchange so much that we have continued the program.” In September, Wood- bine students went to Central Park to meet their pen pals. Because Central Park has more sections of students than Woodbine, each Wood- bine second-grader is matched with two Cen- tral Park peers. “We toured their school and went to Fontenelle Forest togeth- er,” Eby said. “We then went back to the school for lunch and got to know each other’s pen pals.” When in Omaha, the students have a checklist of things to locate. For example, the students had to find and report KEVIN BROWN Twiner General Manager See FARM Page 6 Harrison County Community Foundation awarded $95,000 to area nonprofit groups April 12 Twenty-one nonprof- it agencies in Harrison County received a share of $95,000 in funding from the spring round of grant awards from the Harrison County Community Foundation (HCCF) on April 12.

Last year on April22, I wrote in this col-umn “Anhydrousammonia tanks havebeen rolling down theroad for a few weeks,trees are leafing outand we have had arain-filled week. Formany Iowans, that alladds up to the hal-lowed season of morelhunting. And not tostart the stampedegoing, but I have heardreports of a few morelsbeing found last weekin southern Iowa!”

Contrast that to this

year, and on April 20, ifanything, we are near-ing the end of morelseason. I was talking tosome avid “Morel-er”friends in Sloan thisweek who lurk through

traditional favoritehaunts along the

Missouri River north ofhere. There was greatuncertainty about theeffects of the 2011 floodon morels this year.From reports, there wasremarkable hunting

success particularlyalong the base of cot-tonwoods that weredislodged by the flood-waters. Though theseason was early thisyear, the rain that felllast weekend mayspark a short reprise tomorel hunting for thenext couple of weeks.

There are severalspecies of true morels,but we have three thatare most commonlyfound in western Iowa.The earliest seem to bethe “little grey ones,”Morchella deliciosa(the delicious one).Very soon after, theyare joined by the yel-low morel, Morchellaesculentum, which isthe standard mostthink about in thespring. Toward the endof the season (startingabout now), a thirdspecies can show upcalled the giant morel,Morchella crassipes.Giant morels providepeople those occasional“wow” moments offinding the “you can’tbelieve how big it is”mushrooms that growup to 10 inches longand are occasionallyshown off at the localcoffee shop.

Any morels you findare simply the fruitingstructure that the fun-gus grows to produce

and spread spores.When you pick a morelyou are taking the fruitfrom a mass of unseenfungal threads calledhyphae. Plucking thesemorsels really does lit-tle to harm the parentfungus, as long as youdon’t rough up thewhole area.

As for other mush-rooms, there are plentyof different species ofmushrooms that growin Iowa. Last week, wehad a soft polyporespecies brought in foridentification. ThePolypores are a groupthat often is found asshelf fungi on dyingtrees that shed sporesin tubes on the under-side of the cap ratherthan from sheets ofgills. In my keying ofthe mushroom, it had adistinctive smell ofwatermelon rind. Theonly one that does thatis called Dryad’s sad-dle. These are likelyedible when young, butas they grow old theybecome tough andunpalatable. But as Isay that, my advice isthat unless you have anexperienced mycolo-gist (someone whostudies fungi) identifyan unknown mush-room, they are ok tolook at, ok to do a sporeprint of them (a processthat is pretty interest-ing and sometimeshelp in identifying it),but DO NOT EAT it!!!Yes, there are some edi-ble mushrooms, butthere are also manysimilar looking onesthat are deadly toxic. Itjust isn’t worth the risk!

Spring is here and many of us have begun to thinkabout the planting of trees, bushes, flowers and gar-dens. Have you noticed the beautiful trees that wererecently planted east of the amphitheater?

The addition of the Korean Sun Pear shrubs to thespace changed the area from something unnotice-able and unusable to an area that is now a welcom-ing extension of the amphitheater area. Trees,shrubs and other plants provide multiple benefits toour community. The Main Street Design Committeewill continue to focus on streetscape improvementsduring the coming year as one of its primary Goals,Projects and Objectives.

The term ‘green’ has become popular in recentyears. Green is the color of health and nature. It rep-resents nature, growth, fertility, money and safety toname just a few. Green is a relaxing color and hasknown healing benefits.

For example, according to the American Journalof Nursing, the color green has been found to bebeneficial in treating fatigue in patients. It is sooth-ing and has a relaxing effect. Simply looking at agreen-colored page will create an at ease feeling.

The color green has been found to help alleviateanxiety, nervousness and depression. It provides asense of renewal, harmony and self-control. It is of-ten used to represent anything having to do withhealth. Many pharmaceutical and nutritional compa-nies use green in their logos and material to adver-tise safe, natural products.

Green is used in decorating because of its calm-ing effect. Guests that wait to be introduced on tele-vision shows wait in the ‘green room’ to relax.Designers are selecting green as a popular colorbecause of the positive benefits associated withgood health, balance, relaxation and a refreshingfeeling.

Green takes up more space in the color spectrumthat is visible to the human eye. Green is the mostprevalent color in the natural world. Stressed peoplewho looked at slides of nature had a noticeablereduction in negative emotions and an increase inpositive feelings than when they looked at urbanlocations without plants or trees.

Please go take a look at what a difference a fewKorean Sun Pear shrubs have made to the triangularspace opposite the amphitheater. Better yet, take amoment to sit in the area and let the green soak in.

For those who would like to put their ‘greenthumb’ expertise to good use, please email the MainStreet office for information,[email protected].

Volunteers will be welcome and necessary asTwiners continue “greening” our community.

CLEANING DETAIL – On April 18, 34 Woodbine Elementary School second-grade students teamedtogether to clean up Kiwanis Park (where Merry Brook School is). The students worked in the park from12:30 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. picking up litter, tree limbs, etc. Forrest Johnson was on hand representing theWoodbine Kiwanis Club and Mary Eby was the sponsoring teacher. The event has a long tradition andhelps make the children aware of Earth Day as well as teaching the value and importance of good citizen-ship, Eby said. Following the work, the students were treated to an ice cream. (Photo by Kevin Brown)

Letters to the EditorTo the Editor:

You have got to bekidding me – teach kidsover a computer line?My Internet is not that

reliable – what happenswhen the system goesdown – recess?

I am tired of the anti-education House Re-

publicans and I am vot-ing for a new face thisfall – Kasey Friedrichsen.Maybe she will believethat teachers are for

teaching and the Internetis for playing games, likeHouse Republicans do.

Sincerely,Nakia Zavitz, Dunlap

Area resident supports Friedrichsen candidacy as state representativeTo the Editor:

It’s important to berepresented by someonewho remembers theirhome. That is why I sup-port Kasey Friedrichsenfor State Representative.

Like me, Kasey cameback to her hometown

after attending college tomake her community abetter place to work andthrive. That's an unpop-ular decision these days,but it's what our smalltowns need.

Kasey worked atDenison's Workforce

Development office, andafter it was closed lastyear, Kasey saw that weneeded better represen-tation in the Capitol. Sheis now running for StateRepresentative.

When we send Kaseyto Des Moines, she will

be taking the concerns ofall the voters with her,because that is what shehas done her whole life.

Sincerely,Ken Kahl, Jr. Buck Grove

Community Briefs

Not long ago, the FederalReserve (Fed) announced thatit plans to keep short-terminterest rates near zero untillate 2014. The Fed initiallypushed rates to that level in2008, in an effort to stimulateeconomic growth. Clearly, lowinterest rates have a wide-ranging impact — but whateffect will they have on you, asan individual investor?

If you need income fromyour investments, then thecontinuation of ultra-low inter-est rates may be a matter ofsome concern, particularly ifyou own certain types of fixed-income investments, such ascertificates of deposit. WhileCDs are insured, offer return ofprincipal at maturity and pro-vide regular interest payments,they are not risk-free. With lowinterest rates, you risk losingpurchasing power.

Still, fixed-rate vehiclesmay well have a place in yourportfolio. If you’re even some-what dependent on yourinvestments for income, youmay need to broaden yoursearch. Here are a few ideas toconsider:

• Build a bond ladder.Long-term bonds, by theirnature, are more subject tointerest rate risk than shorter-term vehicles. In other words,interest rates are more likely torise during the life span of alonger-term bond — and whenrates go up, the prices of exist-ing bonds will fall.To help lowerthis risk, you may want to build

a “ladder” of bonds ofvarying maturities.Then, if market interestrates are low, you’ll stillhave your long-termbonds earning higherrates, but if rates rise,you can take advan-tage of them by rein-vesting the proceeds ofyour maturing short-termbonds. But remember to workwith your financial advisor toevaluate whether a bond lad-der and the securities heldwithin it are consistent withyour investment objectives,risk tolerance and financial cir-cumstances.

• D iv idend-pay ingstocks.You can find companiesthat have paid dividends formany consecutive years —and in some cases, increasedtheir dividend payout eachyear. In 2012, companies listedin the S&P 500 are on track topay out more than $252 billionin dividends, a record amount,according to data compiledfrom Standard & Poor’s. (Keepin mind that the S&P 500 is anunmanaged index and is notavailable for direct investment.)Of course, stock prices willfluctuate in value, and you mayreceive more or less than youroriginal investment when yousell. Historically, dividend-pay-ing stocks have been lessvolatile than non-dividend-pay-ing stocks. Be aware, though,that companies can lower ordiscontinue dividend paymentsat any time without notice. Past

performance is not a guaran-tee of future results.

• Refinance yourmortgage. Today’s low ratesare good news for borrowers.With tougher standards inplace, it may not be as easy torefinance a mortgage as itonce was, but if you qualify,you may want to think aboutrefinancing.You may be able tosave quite a bit of money onyour monthly payments — andlower payments can translateinto a greater cash flow. Plus, ifyou don’t need all the savings,you can put some of themoney into an IndividualRetirement Account (IRA) oranother retirement savingsvehicles.

Ultimately, an extendedperiod of low interest rates isjust one more factor to consid-er in creating and adjustingyour investment strategy. Workwith your financial advisor tohelp ensure low rates won’taffect your income needs.

on things such as a sky-scraper, taxicabs, park-ing meters, etc., Ebysaid.

Woodbine returnsthe favor May 10 byhosting an all day visit.The Omaha studentswill be welcomed at themain entrance to theschool with the Wood-bine second-grad-erslined up ready to escorttheir pen pals into thebuilding for tours andfellowship.

At 10 a.m., Eby said,it is off to the Lloyd andPatricia DeForest familyfarm, 1892 Union Lane.During the trip, Ebysaid it is interesting tohear the questions theOmaha kids ask.

“They want to knowwhere all the housesare, where the Mc-Donald’s is and wherethe mall is,” Eby said.“You explain to themthat a stand of trees iscalled a timber in thecountry, not a wood.Many of these childrenhave never seen thecountryside before.When we go by the air-port, they can’t under-stand our airport. Theydon’t understand thefarm terraces. It is reallyan eye opener for them– they just can’t believeit.”

Before the big farmtrip, however, the chil-dren have been writing,calling and chattingonline with their penpals – that is where thelanguage arts and socialstudies component ofthe experience comesinto play.

“Each month, we

exchange written letterswith the Omaha stu-dents,” Eby said. “Wetry to include in our let-ters facts about Wood-bine and Iowa. In turn,the Omaha kids tell usabout Nebraska. Forboth schools, this is aunique approach toteaching cultural diver-sity and written lan-guage instruction.”

Educational objec-tives that Eby andMorgan (who retiredlast year; Mr. Miller isthe new instructor)weave into this year-long project includepromoting an aware-ness of cultural differ-ences and similaritiesbetween rural andurban communities; thepromotion of interactiveactivities for the stu-dents, their parents,teachers, communitymembers and organiza-tions; and the chance forstudents from two dif-ferent worlds to meetand develop friendshipswhile improving theirwritten and overallcommunication skills.

Eby shares the PenPal program with fellowsecond grade teacher,Tammy Klein.

“The students learnquickly how similarthey are to each other,”Eby said. “The do thatby sharing their favoritefoods, favorite TVshows and other inter-ests. When they firstmeet, the students are abit cautious. But, thenthey start visiting andsoon they are holdinghands. It widens theirworlds.”

For the farm tour,

Eby – who has lived inWoodbine her entire life– said she was familiarwith the DeForests andtheir farm and asked thecouple if they would bewilling to share theirtime with the students.

“It is a typical farmwith a lot of animals,”Eby said. “They havebeen wonderful – liter-ally turning their farmover to 90-plus second-graders every year. Thechildren get to pet goatand lambs, feed thehorses and cows andhold baby chicks. Patalways treats everyoneto homemade cookiesand lemonade. It’s areally amazing experi-ence – they just let thekids go. They gravitateto the whatever animalthey like.”

Lloyd DeForest saidhe and his wife enjoysharing the time andtheir farm with the stu-dents.

“We get a lot of satis-faction out of seeing thegleam in the student’seyes,” he said. “Some ofthese kids have neverhad this kind of oppor-tunity. Some have nevereven seen mud. Theyjust beam when they areholding or petting thebaby animals. I knowthey talk about theexperience when theyleave.”

DeForest did say ittakes a bit more work toprepare for the visitstoday than in the past.

“I am semi-retirednow and we have feweranimals around thefarm these days,” hesaid. “But, I have a lotof friends who loan me

baby chicks, goats andlambs. We still havehorses and mules – thekids really like those,too. They love to havethe horses eat grassfrom their hands. I alsotry to have animals ofdifferent colors. Thekids will notice thediversity of color of theanimals. They really canrelate to that.”

DeForest said heenjoys watching thekids line the pen fencesand he said the animalsenjoy the attention asmuch as the kids enjoyinteracting with them.

“The animals knowthat when the kidscome they will get a lotof attention and theylike that,” he said.

These days, DeForestsaid even Woodbinechildren get somethingout of the farm experi-ence.

“In my day, everyonehad a connection to thefarm,” DeForest said.“Farms today aren’t likethey used to be – fewerhave a variety of ani-mals anymore like theyused to. It is surprisinghow even Woodbinekids ask about the ani-mals and the farm.”

Following the yearlyvisits, DeForest said heand his wife enjoyreceiving and readingthe thank you lettersfrom all the students.

“The students writeindividual thank younotes,” he said. “Theydraw pictures of whatthey liked. Some of thenotes are very heart-warming. They saythings like ‘I wish Icould live there all the

time.’ They seem toenjoy what it would belike to live in the coun-try. The kids also are themost loving and politelittle kids.”

DeForest said thePen Pal visits are one ofthe highlights for heand his wife in theirroughly 52 years offarming.

His wife, Patricia,agreed.

“We gain more fromthe visit that the stu-dents do,” she said.“They tell us about theirlives. Many have grownup in housing develop-ments and they don’tunderstand not seeinganother house in sight.They ask if they can runaround and scream –things that are hard todo in the city. We tellthem to go for it. Wehave dogs – the kidslove to be with thedogs. I love to see thejoy in their faces.”

Patricia said shebakes more than 300cookies for the students.

“I bake enough sothat everyone gets atleast two cookies,” shesaid. “The students areso appreciative. It takesabout three hours tobake everything. I havehad people volunteer tohelp me but I enjoy it. Imake chocolate oatmealcookies with no nuts.”

The DeForests men-tor, too. Both of the stu-dents the couple mentor– Faith Spencer, 13, andMikey Barrett, 13, saidthey remember theirvisit to the farm as partof Pen Pals.

“It was cool,”Spencer said. “We ate

cookies and had punch.We saw and petted ani-mals. I liked the goatsand baby chicks.”

Mikey said it was alot of fun and a learningexperience for his penpals.

“I live a couple ofmiles away from theDeForests and I visitedthe farm all of the time,”Barrett said. “The otherkids had never seenanything like it. We hadcookies and punch.Everyone had fun see-ing all the animals.”

Both said they stayedin touch with their penpals throughout theirsecond grade year butlost touch soon after.

For the DeForests,they look at the experi-ence as an extension oftheir own family.

“The way we look atit, we have a lot ofkids.”

And, the proof tothat belief came twoyears ago on theDeForests’ 50thAnniversary celebra-tion.

The school offered acard for any student tosign to honor the coupleon the special anniver-sary.

“There were 189 stu-dent signatures on thatcard,” Lloyd said. “Wehad an impact on thekids – they rememberedus. We have a lot ofgood kids – both hereand in Omaha. We getto see the good in thekids. They rememberedus – and they wanted tosign.”

What better lesson isthere in life?

was ruled out on thethird round of tests. Iredid the test and wasthen accepted as adonor.”

Jona said the surgeryis much simpler than itused to be. Today, shesaid, doctors use laparo-scopic surgery.

“It is laparoscopicsurgery with handassist,” she said. “Theywill make two smallincisions on the left sidenear the rib cage area.One will allow the doc-tors to insert a cameraand the other will beused to remove the kid-ney from its attach-ments. Then, they willmake a small incisionbelow the belly button,and take the left kidneyout in a plastic bag. Thekidney will then betransplanted into mydad’s right side.”

Jona said the opera-tion is a small price topay to help her dad.

“I will only be in thehospital for a couple ofdays following the sur-gery,” Jona said.“Scarring will be mini-mal and small price topay. The first couple ofweeks, I will be off ofwork and recuperatingat home before goingback to work.

Before agreeing to

the surgery, Jona had aheart-to-heart talk withher 12-year-old son,Evan, and her husband,Brian.

“Evan and I are veryclose,” she said. “He isbeing brave about it. Hewould rather I wouldn’tdo the operation, but heunderstand. Brian isworried, of course, butvery supportive. It istruly a family decision.”

Brian said he is veryproud of his wife.

"I support Jona andam proud of her morethan anything,” Briansaid. “It's fully withinher character to donate.If it were me, I think Iwould do the same forone of my parents."

The worst part of thewhole experience inJona’s mind in the sixweeks she will not beable to enjoy herfavorite hobby – run-ning.

“I enjoy running andI won’t be able to dothat for six weeks,” shesaid. “I will go for walksalong my usual route. Ihave five real closefriends, all 1992 gradu-ates of Woodbine HighSchool, and we alwaysdo the Race for the Curein Omaha.”

Jona said her mother-in-law, Linda Williams,2050 Ross Trial,

Woodbine, will staywith her family whileshe is recuperating. Inan interesting wrinkleto this story, Linda alsotested to be a donor andshe, too, was a goodmatch for Jon.

In addition to donat-ing the kidney to herfather, Jona said she alsois participating in astudy to test a new drugthat holds promise inlimiting rejection of thedonor kidney to thepatient.

“I have been partici-pating in this study andam taking this drug fortwo weeks before sur-gery,” she said. “I maypass a virus to my dadthat could make himsick because the anti-rejection drugs he willbe on will suppress hisimmune system. I thinkit’s because he does nothave the antibodies tosome of the viruses Imay pass along.”

Jona said the surgeryitself will be an all dayevent.

“We will be at thehospital the day beforethe surgery for testing,”she said. “We report tothe hospital at 5 a.m. onApril 27. My surgerywill take about three orfour hours.”

The father/daughter

team will have their sur-gery at the University ofMinnesota MedicalCenter, Minneapolis.

Jon Boyce, 66, saidhis advice to people isto seek medical helpearly and not to put itoff.

“My condition builtup over time,” Jon said.“I would advise every-one not to wait. If youhave health issues, it isbetter to go in and seethe doctor. Don’t ignorethe warning signs.”

For Jon, the warningsigns included notbeing able to keep foodor liquids down. Hesaid he is happy hisdaughter is able todonate.

“I’m glad she can doit,” he said. “Not every-one is as good a match.“

Jon said his surgerywill last from three tofive hours and it willtake three to five days inthe hospital before hecan return home. Hetakes the surgery in thesame calm, matter-of-fact manner his Jonadoes.

“Am I anxious orscared? No,” he said. “Itis just something wehave to do.”

Jon said his wife,Doris, is anxious to getthe surgery over with.

“She just wants it to

be done,” he said. “Sheis more apprehensivethan the two of us. Theworld of medicine isamazing today. Thisoperation is minor com-pared to some otherprocedures.”

Dialysis will be onepart of his life todaythat Jon will not missonce he recuperatesfrom the transplant.

“I get up at 6:15 a.m.three times a week to goto dialysis,” he said.“The treatment takesabout three hours. I willmiss all of the people Ihave met; it is usuallythe same four peoplehere. You get to knowthem all well. I will missthem.”

The first thing Jonsaid he plans to do afterhe recovers is dump hisrenal diet and enjoyfood again.

“I want a pizza,” hesaid. “It’s going to belike, ‘Hey, Dominoes!’ Ithas been two yearssince I have been able toenjoy a pizza. I can’twait to get to a PizzaHut. On the renal diet,you can eat all the pro-tein you want, you get ahalf-cup of vegetablesand a half-cup of milkbut no cheese and youhave to keep track ofyour sodium. I won’tmiss that.”
