Gowrie Growth Group donates $1,000 to Gowrie Fire Chief...

Doug Johnson G3G (Gowrie Growth Group) Treasur-er gave Greg Benson, the Gowrie Fire Chief, a donation of $1000 from G3G to the Gowrie Fire Dept. The G3G is a year old organization formed after the Gowrie Jaycees disbanded. G3G still sponsors many of the same events that the Jaycees ran. Some of the events and fundraisers that G3G run are, The 4th of July Street Dance, Freedom 5K Run, Firecracker 40 and a Youth Basketball Tournament Funds raised by G3G are donated out to various community projects, youth sports programs and scholarships.

By Jill Viles The Gowrie City Council met the evening of May 18th to discuss issues brought forth by the coun-cil and also addressed concerns from the community at large. The Parks Board advised there have been no bids on a garage offered for sale. A second option is

to see if someone would like to take on the property for free. It was announced that the soccer season is com-plete, and Little League will begin soon. Finally, the board considered locations that might be utilized by a traveling circus. Concerns were raised that if there is re-cent or current rainfall, Brockett Park would not make a suitable site for the circus. Additionally, Gowries City Park may not be acceptable either if the grass is rain soaked. Councilperson Jeff Peterson questioned if the circus could be located on black top. It was decided this question required further investigation.Many lawns needto be mowed in Gowrie Police Chief Bruce McCormack reported that several yards in Gowrie are in need of mowing. Citations have been issued, but it was noted that in many cases, the obligation to mow often becomes the citys concern. Theres no incentive to mow if theres not a fine, suggested councilperson Gayle Redman. McCor-mack agreed, but offered, A lot of these people are out of state. It was suggested that perhaps a list of mowing services offered in the community could be included with the citation, but it was noted this has been tried before without success. New Library Director The Library Board informed the council that a new library director has been hired to replace Shelley Nelson. Elissa Mobley, a current assistant in the city clerks office, assumed responsibility for the library last week. Her rate of pay is set at $11.50 per hour. The city council voted to approve a pay raise of 50 cents per hour for library assistant, Gail McCloud. Crystal Wilks announced her departure from the board.

New Gowrie Library director named,leasing Mulligans discussed at CouncilUnmowed lawns an issue. . .

The library board has accepted her resignation with regret and wishes to thank her for her years of service. The library board raised the issue of cutting back the number of board members from 7 to 5. A vote of whether the city should approve this change will likely appear on the fall ballot. Finally, it was noted that the library is leaking rain water in several places, such as the windows and the entryway. It is hoped that a way to me-diate the leakage may be devised before books or other

Gowries beautiful cemetery...I believe that the Gowrie Township Cemetery is one

of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Cemeteries can be a sad place but it is also a place of history, comfort, and serenity. Our forefathers had vision when they plotted this site for the future.

Sometimes some of the old things need a change after decades of use. I would like to thank the Gowrie Township Trustees for doing this by putting up a new fence. Memorial Day was a sight to behold with the flags, flowers, and the new fence.

I would like to thank the trustees Jay Anderson, Tan-ner Carlson, Chris Fevold and secretary Dixie Harrison for initiating the change. Also, a thank you to Paul Fe-vold and Bruce and Laurie Long for helping to install the new fence.

Jags struggle at District GolfBy Coach Conrad

After easily advancing out of their Sectional Qualifi-er at Carroll, our SE Valley golfers traveled to Lake Pan-orama Golf for their District play, and a shot at making the State Tournament. Unfortunately, the team struggled on this day, and fell short of their goals of making the State trip.

Despite their struggles the Jags had a very successful season. They took both second place in the teams con-ference dual season, and also second in the conference tournament.

They became the 10th team in the Coach Conrad era to advance out of sectionals. They complied a 40 win and 15 loss season. Conner Conrad and Keegan Goodwin tied for low stroke average at 40.1 strokes per 9 holes.

Each earned multiple medals throughout the season. Logan Boerner captured individual titles at Sectional play, and also the Southeast Valley invite.

Josh Johnson finished in 6th place at the conference tournament. Spencer Johnson brought home a couple in-dividual medals, and Koltan Lundberg rounded out this years letter winners. The teams 164.1 stroke average was 5th best all time of a Coach Conrad team.

With three juniors and a sophomore returning, next year also looks quite promising for Southeast Valley golf. The team played with pride, and earned respect from all other teams and coaches. The communities of Southeast Valley should be quite proud of these men and their ac-complishments.

June 3, 2015 5THE GOWRIE NEWSTHE GOWRIE NEWS Down Memory LaneB Y S A R A D O W N S

When we let our minds wonder (as we older people are actually privileged to do) we think of many things, the just yesterday and the yesteryears. Those memories bounce around and skip from here to yon, sometimes even landing for a short visit back to the old days. Growing up on a farm with a house that had no central heat or air conditioning wasnt so unpleasant. The haves didnt even have them. Mostly air condi-tioning was in some of the big stores in the cities (Boone & Ft. Dodge, yeh, big cities!) or in theaters. That was to entice you in during those sweltering days of sum-mer, primarily July and August. Furnaces were in newer homes, mainly those built after the 1920s or 1930 plus. Then they were big, take up a whole room coal fired, smoke spewing, ones. The grates had to be shaken down and the cinder ashes carried up the stairs and outside to a special pile. They had to be continually fed just like the old wood/coal space heaters so that meant trudging up and down the stairs several times a day and at night banking the fire so enough live coals would remain to ignite newly replenished fuel in the morning. It was work to have central heat then. As to air conditioning, most of us didnt even have fans, except the church kind furnished by the lo-cal funeral parlor with their advertisements on them. Or, grab a magazine or a section of the newspaper folded and fan away. Open the windows and doors and hope for a strong enough breeze to circulate the air without blowing things apart inside the house. I cant remember that many complaints though I suppose there were some. Farmers worked out in the hot sun but they wore broad brimmed straw hats and their chambray shirts with the sleeves rolled up midway between the elbows and shoul-ders, thus the farmers tan. And believe it or not, if the sun got too intense sleeves were rolled down to prevent sun burning. Complain? No, it was just the way of life on the farm. City folks had it no better. I dont remem-ber anyone, even bigger purse ones having an electric fan until after I was long gone to the big city. There was one of those big old noisy ones at Lundvalls store which Lloyd used once in awhile while working at his office cubbyhole area. Now as we anticipate summers approach peo-ple are saying wed better check the air conditioning to make sure it is working properly when we actually need it. If we dont check and then it gets hot and we turn it on to find it not working properly well likely have to wait our turn for a repair person and also pay the premium rates. Ive even known people to actually go to a motel for a night or two so they could have the comfort of A/C. I can understand that in winter months if there is a fur-nace problem. Summers for farm and small town kids was for being outdoors a lot and roaming around our farms or the towns. There was exploring for who knows what, walking the railroad tracks in search of treasures such as a special rock, pieces of gypsum that fell off an open freight car, picking a bouquet of wild flowers along the way. Out in the country we would walk the gravel roads or ride our bikes in search of adventure, even imagined ones. We could check out the places in the ditches where the cattails grew and perhaps get a few before they fully matured and spilled out their cottony innards. The same went for milkweed. We kids liked those pods to be dried up and popping open to scatter their fluff. They actually ceased being a noxious weed during WWII as they were collected and that fluff replaced kapok in pillows (before foam rubber and after feathers) as kapok was a foreign product now unavailable. Farmers hated milkweed as it interfered with their crops and that fluff got into things where it wasnt wanted. (Now I hear there is a plan to purposely plant milkweeds along our highway rights of way to lure Monarch butterflies back to our area.) Other prizes may have been found along the ditches and down the lanes. Another plant that grew in the marshy ditch-es was what I called snake grass. I never did know its name but I think it is a type of reed. One could be snapped off and its joints pulled apart and then put back together again. This would be a bit of an entertain-ment until it wilted and then dried up. Other interesting things could be found in the farm road ditches. I began watching in the ditch in front of Aunt Beulahs and Uncle Pearls place for the wild strawberries to bloom. That was a pretty site in itself and I hoped my uncle wouldnt mow the ditch too close-ly so they would survive. I usually found a few wild berries at the appropriate time and they were sweet to the taste but much smaller than our garden ones. There were no timberlands close around so couldnt search for wild gooseberries and nuts as my family had been able to do in Madison County. Still the mulberry grove

Take a walk with me back in years...across from the Lundvall place (also their land) yielded many berries and the Lundvalls were generous with al-lowing people come with their canvases or other drops and shake the trees. They are very good, especially mixed with rhubarb, if you have the patience to put them through many washings and draining. Hands do get well stained in the process. Can you imagine kids these days walking the railroad tracks and exploring country ditches to see what they could discover? Did I say walking? Yet, there might be a few who would think it was quite a diversion from their daily routines. These are some of the activi-ties I might like to revisit but today the railroad tracks are gone along with all the various finds and scenery along them. The ditches are kept much clearer now and I dont remember seeing a cattail in the past few years although I did, a few years ago, see some snake grass and tiger lilies which were probably a result of some-ones dumping unwanted bulbs. So Ill just tuck these things back into my memory bank and be glad I once experienced them. Do you have any memories of your childhood meanderings?

By Janet Wills Six Southeast Valley 8th graders competed at the

state National History Day contest in Des Moines on May 4. National History Day is a program to encourage

Southeast Valley 8th graders who competed at the state National History Day contest are, pictured left to right, Eva Haub, Alli True, Kylie Clark, Dalton Dencklau, Bailey Miller, and Cassidy Lambert.

SV Eight graders compete in National History Day Contest

students to do in-depth research about a particular topic based on an annual theme.

This years theme was Leadership and Legacy in History. Students in grades 6-12 may participate in the program by creating an exhibit, a documentary, a

performance, a website or writing a research paper.Eva Haub and Cassidy Lambert created an exhibit

showing the leadership of Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the fight for womens rights in the late 1800s. Dalton Dencklau, Kylie Clark, Bailey Miller and Allison True created a website about Lewis Hine who photographed child laborers working in factories in the early 1900s. Both groups have been researching and putting their entries together since October. They won the local con-test in February and the district contest that was held in Storm Lake in March.

At the state contest, the Lewis Hine website was chosen to represent Iowa at the national contest in Wash-ington D.C. in June. The four students who created the project will have two weeks to make any revisions to their project before it is locked. The website URL is http://74405938.nhd.weebly.com. The URL will be post-ed on the school website so you can watch their progress and give them feedback.

The students used the website Weebly to create their Lewis Hine project. They incorporated a video inter-view with an Iowa author using iMovie and used various Google apps to create different features on their website. The four will travel to Washington D.C. to the national contest where they will meet and compete against stu-dents from around the country. These students are to be commended for their efforts. They spent hours of time researching, writing and refining their projects.

About his NHD experience, Dalton Dencklau said, "I think our experience was really fun and I can't wait to do it again. I was able to spend time with my friends and learn about the great American leader, Lewis Hine."

About her NHD experience, Alli True said, "I'm re-ally excited to go to the national contest. We put a lot of time into our project and we're anxious to see what other websites were created by students throughout the coun-try. We've already had a lot of fun meeting people from around the state."

Bob Patton, Gowrie, will perform during Karl King concertsAs a guest soloist...

The Karl L. King Municipal Band of Fort Dodge, IA, will open their 2015 summer season on Sunday evening, June 7, at the Karl L. King Band Shell in Oleson Park. Concert time is 7:30 p.m., and will be preceded by an ice cream social, served by the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, starting around 6:30.

These concerts are free to all, and are provided as a public service by the City of Fort Dodge. Directing the band again this season will be Jerrold P. Jimmerson, with Dr. David Klee serving as the Assistant Conductor.

Conductor Jimmerson has programmed a variety of selections based around the theme of Sounds of Sum-mer.

Other Karl King compositions on the program in-clude his beautiful aerial waltz, June Twilight, along with the fast-paced galop. Sunshine.

Special guest soloist will be Bob Patton, baritone, from Gowrie. Mr. Patton attended the University of Northern Iowa before joining the U.S. Air Force Singing Sergeants in Washington, D.C. During his twenty year career in the military, Patton soloed with the National Symphony and the Boston and Cincinnati Pops Orches-tras.

He also performed with the Washington Civic, Bal-timore, Wolf Trap, Northern Virginia and Annapolis op-era companies.

In 1991 he returned to Gowrie IA and became editor and publisher of The Gowrie News, the fourth generation owner of a 110 year-old family business. He is now re-tired from the newspaper after a 20-year career, but is still very active and much sought-after as a vocalist through-out the Midwest.

Mr. Patton will perform the exciting Toreador Song from the opera Carmen by French composer Georges Bizet, along with Climb Evry Mountain from the epic motion picture and musical, The Sound of Music.

Each concert always closes in the traditional way, with the playing of our National Anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner.

In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be cancelled. Plan now to spend each Sunday evening during June and July with the King Band in beautiful Oleson Park, located in the southern part of the city of Fort Dodge.

Emanuel Lutheran Ice Cream nights in June Emanuel Lutheran Church, Dayton, will be serving ice cream from 7 - 8 p.m. in front of the church every Wednesday night in June. Everyone is welcome to attend.

materials of the library are damaged.City pool,Leasing Mulligans The Pool Board has reported that a number of cracks and other structural issues continue to plague the pool. For example, a grate on the floor of the deep end is not flush with the floor of the pool. It was noted that a diver may be injured if they collide with the grate as is it sticking up at an odd angle. The Golf Board held their first meeting last week. It was decided they only approve the leasing of the clubhouse to an interested individual(s). Mayor Dave Stokesbary informed the council he has heard from three parties interested in leasing the clubhouse. It was suggested a lease for the clubhouse may run somewhere between $400 and $500 per month. I want the right person to be specific regarding the menu, offered Stokesbary. If they want to operate in this location, they must sell the concept of their restau-rant to the community. For example, Stokesbary noted an interested party wanted to offer Mexican cuisine, but has also of-fered to serve an American-style menu as well. Finally, it was noted that an inventory of Muli-gans should be attempted before June 1st. It was sug-gested that the inventory may be available to a new les-see based on a negotiable bid.Worship services In other proceedings, Pastor Jon Rollefson and his wife, of Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Callendar, inquired if the Gowrie Community Center may be used for contemporary worship services every other Saturday night. They explained that Gowrie is centrally located for many potential parishoners. They advised they would not utilize the kitchen and that any tables or chairs moved during the service would be returned to original locations. The city coun-cil approved this request, but suggested they speak with Pastor Davis of Zion Lutheran to discuss the arrangement as his congregation also participates in Saturday services. It was acceptable to Pastor Rolefson that if the community center is occupied by an interested party pay-ing rent for the building, he will not hold services on that evening. Discussion continued on the purchase of rocks to improve parking for semis. Additionally, it was noted that a pavement doctor service has been utilized by the Utilities department to seal cracks in the pavement. The city originally approved a $2,000 budget to

test out this service. Well consider doing more if it works, offered councilmember Jeff Peterson. Next, community member Dick Johnson raised concerns regarding the accessibility of the citys side-walks and curb cut-ins. I actually have to drive one block to attend church services, explained Johnson. Johnson offered literature regarding ADA re-quirements for accessible sidewalks and cut-ins to the council. The council advised they would take the issue into consideration.

Eminent Domain...Dear Editor: Whether you are for or against energy from air, oil or mining, we should all be pro active in protecting the rights of property owners. Recently I became aware of law 479B.15 which allows in this case a private company to enter private property, after APPLYING for a permit from the Iowa Utility Board and holding a public meeting. If the prop-erty owner resists the company, they can file a lawsuit for an injunction so they can enter the private property with police protection for company representatives and their trustees (i.e. survey). This law is wrong and should be changed as this is abuse of EMINENT DOMAIN.

Jaguars baseball team hits a few snagsBy Tyler Anderson

For the defending Twin Lakes Conference champs, completing a baseball game is going to be a blessing. Last Tuesday, the Jaguars were hampered by Mother Nature, as the Southeast Valley-St. Edmond game in Fort Dodge had been postponed to this past Tuesday. The Dayton Review-Gowrie News will provide a recap of the game in next weeks edition.

On Wednesday, the Southeast Valley baseball team and East Sac County came to a 9-9 tie. The game was suspended due to a power outage in Dayton.

Coon Rapids-Bayard 3, Southeast Valley 2: On Thursday, Southeast Valley dropped their season opener to Coon Rapids-Bayard 3-2 despite a late rally by the Jaguars.

Junior Cade King led the Jags with two doubles, while senior Dylan Anderson and junior Andrew Dorage each contributed with one RBI.

Dorage pitched for six innings and struck out 12 bat-ters. However, Dorage took his first loss of the season. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 RCR-Bayard 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 3 SV 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 Southeast Valley 14, West Central Valley, Stu-art 12: In a wild game on Friday, the Jaguars held off the West Central Valley Wildcats in Stuart. The Jags over-came an early 4-0 deficit with a 10 run second inning before tacking on four runs in the third.

Watch out! Junior Andrew Dorage ducks from a wild pitch in the first inning of Southeast Valleys season opener last Wednesday in Dayton against East Sac County. The game resulted in a 9-9 tie, its conclusion postponed by a power outage in Dayton. The games conclusion is set for a date to be determined.

Motion carried unanimously. Moved by Singer, seconded by Fletcher to adopt the following Resolution: Whereas, the Des Moines Waterworks has filed suit under the Clean Water Act against drainage districts in Buena Vista, Calhoun and Sac Counties, and; Whereas, the suit would seek to regulate agricultural practices which are currently exempt from regulation under the Clean Water Act, and; Whereas, the suit, if successful would impose regulatory burdens upon drainage districts and the landowners in those districts, and; Whereas, the suit, if successful, would require drainage district trustees to exercise powers that are not legally available to them under existing state law, and; Whereas, the suit would irreparably harm drainage rights, operations and row crop production in this county, and; Whereas, it is recognized that the suit, while filed against a small number of districts would, if successful, be applicable to all districts in Iowa and in other states, and; Whereas, it is recognized that a strong legal defense must be made against the lawsuit, and; Whereas, it would be in the best interests of Iowa counties to directly support the legal defense of the drainage districts in Buena Vista, Calhoun and Sac Counties and to have the Iowa Drainage District Association participate in the case if requested by Belin McCormick Law Firm, the attorneys retained by Buena Vista, Calhoun and Sac Counties, in order to represent the interests of all drainage districts in Iowa.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATERElevated Fluoride Levels Detected

more than 4.0 mg/l of fluoride, but were required to notify you when we discover that the fluoride levels in your drinking wa-ter exceed 2.0 mg/l because of this cosmetic dental problem. For more information, please call Chuck Angstrom at Gowrie Municipal Utilities at 352-3065. Some home water treatment units are also available to remove fluoride from drinking water. In Iowa, home water treatment units are regulated under 641- Chapter 14, with the water treatment unit reg-istration program administered by the Iowa Department of Public Healths environmental health division. In addition, you may call the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Inter-national, at 1-877-867-3435 Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, espe-cially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apart-ments, nursing homes, schools, and business-es). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail. This notice is being sent to you by GOWRIE MUNICIPAL UTILITIES PWSID#: 9436095 Date Issued: June 3, 2015

This is an alert about your drinking wa-ter and a cosmetic dental problem that might affect children under nine years of age. At low levels, fluoride, which occurs naturally in the ground waters, can help prevent cavities, but children drinking water containing more than 2.0 milligrams per liter (mg/l) of fluoride may develop cosmetic discoloration of their per-manent teeth (dental fluorosis). The drinking water provided by your public water system Gowrie Municipal Utilities has a fluoride con-centration of 2.33 mg/l. Dental fluorosis in its moderate or se-vere forms may result in a brown staining and/or pitting of the permanent teeth. This prob-lem occurs only in developing teeth, before they erupt from the gums. Children under nine should be provided with alternative sources of drinking water or water that has been treated to remove the fluoride to avoid the possibil-ity of staining and pitting of their permanent teeth. You may also want to contact your den-tist about proper use by young children of flu-oride-containing products. Older children and adults may safely drink the water. Drinking water containing more than 4.0 mg/l of fluoride (the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys drinking water standard) can increase your risk of developing bone dis-ease. Your drinking water does not contain

new hog confinement at 3946 Oak Avenue in the Northwest Quarter of Section 33, Township 86 North, Range 28 West, Dayton Township. (Copy on file in Engineers office). Motion carried unanimously.

(Copy on file in Auditors office). Motion carried unanimously. Moved by Fletcher, seconded by Leffler to approve final plans for bridge replacement Project BROS-CO94(621)8J-94 on 160th Street over Soldier Creek and authorize project to be let by Iowa DOT on September 15, 2015 instead of July 21, 2015 due to delay in acquiring necessary right of way requirements.

By Tyler Anderson So far, so good. In the first week of the 2015 campaign, the Southeast Valley softball team had a solid start, going 3-2 during the stretch. Despite taking a two game skid at the Ogden Invitational, the Lady Jags rallied to remain above .500. Southeast Valley 3, East Sac County 2 (8 in-nings): In their 2015 season opener this past Wednesday, the Southeast Valley softball team had to go into extra innings to defeat East Sac County. The Lady Jags scored two vital runs in the eighth inning to seal the victory. The Lady Jags were led by junior Erica Rittgers, who tal-lied one hit in the proverbial pitchers duel and stole two bases. Senior Karlee Walker also contributed with a hit to the winning cause. Junior Natalie Lambert took home her first win of the season, allowing seven hits and struck out seven batters in a complete game to earn an ERA of 0.88. East Sac Countys Ashton Blum was given the loss. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 H R E ESC 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 7 2 0 SV 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 2 3 3 1 Southeast Valley 12, Coon Rapids-Bayard 0 (3 innings): On Thursday, the Lady Jags made quick work of the Crusaders, scoring seven runs in the first in-ning.

Junior Allie Berg aided the winning effort with a double and two RBIs, while fellow junior Kearsten Hainzinger added two more RBIs. Junior Tiffany Blunk led Southeast Valley in stolen bases, pro-viding three in the rout.
