Fish Fry Saturday, Nov. 22. . .

The Gowrie Fire Department has been
raising funds for their new fire station since
2013 and have come a long way. They currently have $200,000 and still need the additional
$300,000. The fundraising meter is on the corner of Main St. and Beek St. and the artwork
was done by retired Prairie Valley High School
Art teacher, Galen Patrick.
The new building is said to be 66 x 120,
big enough to house the larger fire trucks and
the required equipment. The current building is
over 40 years old and Fire Chief Greg Benson
said, The trucks have gotten bigger and we
would like to purchase new equipment but we
cant. We have outgrown our building. He also
noted that with more equipment comes more
responsibility, ; all the firefighters are volunteers and are nationally certified as a Firefighter
I , Firefighter II or both.
Right now the trucks are stacked,
meaning if they need a truck in the back, response time is wasted moving the front one out
of the way. Benson said, Its so crowded in
there right now you can barely walk between
the trucks.
There are three set fundraisers for 2014,
one being the annual tractor pull at the Webster
County Fairgrounds every July. Webster County Fair Board members said it draws the biggest
crowd at the fairgrounds every year.
The next fundraiser is their annual fish
fry, being held at the high school in Gowrie, Saturday, Nov. 22. And this year they are raffling
off ($20 per ticket), a restored 1952 Farmall Super C that was donated by Doc and Jean Hubbard. The raffle drawing will be taking place
on Saturday, Dec. 6 at Macke Gowrie along
with the Wreath Raffle at approximately 1 pm.
Tickets for the tractor are available at Security
Savings Bank, Heartland Bank, The Drill Barbershop, Macke Gowrie, or from any Gowrie
Fireman.
The fundraising drive has different
sponsor levels that are recognized if you donate
$100 or more to the new building. All levels
will have a plaque with the donors name displayed in the building when its done. There will
be a special dedication for anyone that donates
$25,000 or more.

Recipe of the Week

from Dayton

Community Grocery
Baked Sweet Potato

Ingredients
Sweet Potato
Butter
Pinch of Salt, Pepper, and Chives
Dollop of Sour Cream
Pinch of Parmesan Cheese

Instructions
Take a whole sweet potato and pierce it with
a fork a few times. Place it in the microwave
on medium-high for 6-7 minutes. Turn your
sweet potato about every 2 minutes.
Once the potato has been cooked cut the potato in half. Then, without cutting all the way
through on the ends you cut each half into
squares. By leaving the ends not cut all the
way through you allow for it to stay together
in the original shape.
Take a few very thin slices of butter and put
in between some of the squares. Season with
salt and pepper and then sprinkle Parmesan
on top.
Broil the sweet potatoes on medium-high for
6-12 minutes.

Garnish with chives, pinch of Parmesan

cheese and a dollop of sour cream and
you have the best-easiest sweet potato
ever!

Remembering the old home place

Again I am wondering if I could go home

again. When I have journeyed out around the
countryside to my old home area northwest
of Boxholm I find so much open land with no
indication that there had ever been homesteads
with many houses, barns, corn cribs and all the
other outbuildings. They are all gone. It is bare
and plowed ground with crops of corn or beans
in the spring to fall.
Now, where exactly did the house sit?
Where did the little two room original house
turned into wash house and milk house go? It
had also housed my shiny black with orange
trim Hawthorne bike in the south room along
with the old barrel churn. Did someone retrieve
the lumber from the big old cow barn with its
many stanchions where the cows were milked
by hand and the cat hung out waiting for its
share? How many tons of hay had occupied
that hayloft and how many bushels of oats had
been stored in the special bin?
How about the hog shed just to the east?
Would anyone want that lumber? How did they
handle abandoning the well that was between
those two buildings? Was it still producing
good water both for human and animal use?
How many times had the electric pump been
replaced and was the heater still placed in the
stock tank to keep the water liquefied in winter
so the animals coulf quench their thirst?
What about the storage shed to the east
of the hog house? Was the block and tackle
still there? Surely if it was the rope I used to
haul myself up as I balanced one foot in the
big hook, would have been rotted. What happened to the big wagons housed there and in the
middle of the corn crib? Those wagons hauled
many bushels of corn and oats. Had they met
their Waterloo a long time ago? After all I am
remembering 70 plus years ago.
There should have been some good
barn wood in that huge old horse barn the
one where my friends and cousins and I spent
many good times climbing to the loft and sliding down the hay to the bottom. We had dared
do that but there was absolutely no climbing
the tall windmill. Had that windmill been dismantled or had time done most of the work?
What about the horse apple trees on the east
of the horse barn? Those apples always seemed
to produce beautiful fruit but they were bad.
Why, Im not sure but they would make you
sick if you ate them, so we were told and they
were never picked. I cant remember if birds
even pecked at them. Were they like the poison pears at Grandmas, the ones to the east of
the house we were not to pick or eat?
How about that old corn crib jail? Its
emptiness in the summer before the next harvest provided me and my fellow cops and robbers many hours of fun. Was it still in use or
had it fallen to old age as all things seem to do?
The big machine shed where dad parked our
car always appeared to be quite sturdy and I believe was probably the newest building? But, of
course it couldnt stay because there were crops
to plant. Where did all the machinery go and
that sleigh? The other various small buildings
had probably departed first, the hen house, the
cob house, the coal house, the brooder house
and the privy. How long before all the farmstead
was dismantled were all the trees in the grove
where my playhouse had been set up and those

in the house yard removed? What about the

old gnarly mulberry tree and the hay rake airplane? Did they go before the small orchard,
the lilac bushes, the grape vines, the, the flowering shrubs, lilies, irises, lilies of the valley, mint
leaves and others?
If I could wander through that house
again would it seem so large now? Had it been
modernized with full bathing and toilet facilities, central or better than coal/wood heating?
Were linoleum rugs replaced with inlaid or tile
in the kitchen and pantry? Did the dining and
living rooms have full carpeting and could the
door be left open year round between the dining and living rooms? Was the downstairs bedroom still a bedroom or had it become a den,
sewing room, computer room or??? What had
been done with the little room at the top of the
stairs? I had always heard that it was initially
to have been a future bathroom when the house
was built but it was just a store room and where
mom kept the big sacks of flour and sugar. I
can remember my trips for her to refill her canisters. It also held an old Murphy bed encased
in a big walnut cabinet that I never saw opened.
What ever happened to the old Victrola (name
given to all phonographs back then) with its cylinders instead of flat disc records?
If I lingered long enough would I see the
last interurban passenger train of the day headed
for Fort Dodge? If I turned on my radio at news
time would I soon hear the big buzz from the
recharging operation
at Hope Station? If it
were summer and my
window was open and
I wasnt fully asleep
would I hear the
rumble of a nighttime
freight going up the
tracks and even tho
late would they sound
their whistle at the
crossing only a short
way from our place?
In the day time could
I still walk down to
the crossing and head
up the tracks toward
Hope station and pick
wild flowers on the
way and maybe scare
up a pheasant who had
chosen to nest somewhere in the nearby
undergrowth
along
the tracks? Could I
still pick up the stony
chunks of gypsum
from the Ft. Dodge
mine
which
had
spilled from the open
freight cars? Could I
still balance myself
on the rails for a long
way? ------- You cant go
home again except
in your memories
but arent the memories wonderful? If
it doesnt all come
back we can always
fill in the blanks with
what we feel it should
or could have been.
Happy memories to
you.

Roger Smith, Lehigh Historical

Society president, designs his home
Celebrates 60th wedding anniversary. . .
by Alice Johnson
The citizens of Lehigh were grateful to have
a Memorial Day services this year because of
the initiative of the Lehigh Historical Society
Museum who stepped up three years ago when
the local VFW was unable to carry on the tradition at the West Lawn Cemetery as in years past.
Now local and out-of-town visitors assemble on the Des Moines River Bridge where
an impressive service is conducted. Names of
each veteran are read, prayers are said, the Star
Spangled Banner is sung, then a beautiful floral
wreath created by LHSM member, Sandi Linn
Anderson, is tossed in the river in memory of
those who faithfully served our country. In
conclusion, the mournful sound of the Taps are
played by a bugler.
Roger Smith, the president of the Lehigh
Historical Society Museum, was instrumental
in continuing the Memorial Day services. He is
a longtime resident of Lehigh and was born and
raised here along with four brothers and two sisters. His parents, Shelton and Katherine Smith,
established their home here in the early 1930s.
His father not only worked in the coal mine
but was employed at the Lehigh Sewer Pipe
and Tile Company. At an early age, the children were taught that hard work, a good education and a desire to learn various skills would,
indeed, assist them in pursuing a career that
would be both productive and fulfilling.
Roger began working at the Sewer Pipe
and Tile Company before graduating from the
Lehigh Independent School in 1953. He learned
how to weld at the Maudlin Construction

Company in Webster City and later

worked for the Chicago Bridge and Iron
Company. However,
his ambition to become self-employed
was realized when he
purchased the Texaco
Gas Station in Lehigh.
Roger worked at the
Electrolux Company
in Webster City from
1988 to 2005.
In 1979, he purchased a truck and
worked until 1987
when he purchased
some heavy equipment. To this day, he
continues to work at
various construction
projects within a wide
radius of Lehigh. He
is an ambitious, hardworking man....a legacy which he will, no
doubt, leave his children.
In 1952, a
young lass by the
name of Judy Bunting moved to Lehigh where her father

The Smiths are grandparents of 7 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. However,

Jaguar Girls Cross Country team

wrapped up their 2014 season

The first season of the Southeast Valley
girls cross country season showed a lot of improvement and potential. This years team lead
by returning seniors Angela Dopita and Nicole
Williams, had only three underclassmen that
had competed in a varsity cross country race
prior to this year. The Jaguars also had five
other runners with previous cross country experience at different levels while three of the team
members made their cross country debut at any
level this year.

Despite the inexperience, the Jaguars
were able to claim a third place finish in their
first ever Southeast Valley invitational in Gowrie. They also finished 4th at the Twin Lakes
conference meet and 8th at the state qualifying
meet in Panora. Their 5th place finish at the
Falcon invitational at Ida Grove was Southeast
Valleys most impressive team finish of the
year.

The Jaguars were lead by juniors Erica

Rittgers and Josie Breitsprecher. Both received

conference medalist honors with a 8th place and
10th place finish respectively. Rittgers earned
individual medals 6 times this year while Breitsprecher earned 4. Nicole Williams, Angela
Dopita, Ryann Steburg and Kate Dyer each added 1 individual medal for the year.

Southeast Valley will lose both Angela
and Nicole to graduation. It was an honor to
coach these two seniors this year. They both
worked very hard to improve and both probably
experienced a little adversity that they had to
fight to push through. Angela and Nicole both
work extremely hard in the classroom and both
will succeed in whatever they do after high
school, commented Coach Nuss.

The Jaguars, along with Erica and Josie,
will return sophomore Ryann Steburg who was
a top 7 runner all year. Freshman Tessa Berg
and junior Kate Dyer, who both fought through
some injuries this year, saw a good portion of
their season running varsity while junior Hannah Fiala also competed in several varsity races
at the end of the season.

Juniors Hannah Peterson, Sarah Nahnsen, Kendall Sandgren, sophomore Morgan
Jackson and freshman Leslie Housken will also
return next year and compete for varsity spots

Security Savings
Bank hosts grain and
livestock seminar

The group just finished the two mile tour of the Mammoth Cave National Park. The students left to right are Travis Jones, Bryce Scott, Joshua Carlson, Ryan Collen, Katie Walrod,
Allie Berg, and Anna Heatherington.

Seven Southeast Valley FFA members

attend National FFA Convention
In Louisville, KY. . .

By Katie Walrod
The 87th National FFA Convention and
Expo was held October 29 - 31, in Louisville,
Kentucky with over 60,000 members, parents
and guests present. Seven Southeast Valley
FFA members and their advisor, Steve Kehoe
joined the Central Plains FFA Chapter in attending this years event. They traveled with 11
other chapters from Central Iowa.
Southeast Valley members participating
this year were Allie Berg, Joshua Carlson, Ryan
Collen, Anna Heatherington, Travis Jones,
Bryce Scott, Katie Walrod, and Mr. Kehoe. The
south bus had members and advisors from the
following high schools: Gilbert, Grundy Center, South Hamilton (Jewell), Southeast Valley
(Gowrie), Roland-Story, and West Marshall
(State Center).
The first order of business on the trip
was to tour Mammoth Cave National Park on
Wednesday, Oct. 29. Mammoth Cave National
Park is part of the Green River Valley and hilly
country of south central Kentucky. This is the
worlds longest known cave system, with more
than 400 miles explored. The tour through the
cave system was about two miles in length.
The group went to the opening session
in Freedom Hall on Wednesday evening to hear
remarks from motivational speaker Nick Vujicic. Without any medical explanation or warning, Mr. Vujicic was born in 1982 in Melbourne,
Australia, without arms and legs. His speech
was titled No Limbs No Limits. Throughout
his childhood, Nick not only dealt with the typical challenges of school and adolescence, but he
also struggled with depression and loneliness.

Nick constantly wondered why he was

different than all the other kids. He questioned
the purpose of life, or if he even had a purpose.
According to Nick, the victory over his struggles, as well as his strength and passion for life
today, can be credited to his faith. His family,
friends and the many people he has encountered
along the journey have inspired him to carry
on as well. To learn more about Nick Vujicic,
you can visit his website Lifewithoutlimbs http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org.
The third day of the trip, the group began their morning traveling and touring the
Louisville Slugger factory and museum. They
watched a 20 minute video and then toured the
factory where they manufactured baseball bats.
The rest of the afternoon the students spent their
time at the convention site touring the FFA Career Show exhibits.
The day ended observing the FFA talent
competition and attending the third general session. The keynote speaker at the third general
session was Mr. Donnie Smith, President and
CEO of Tyson Foods, Inc. Mr. Smiths enthusiasm for Tyson Foods is contagious among the
companys 115,000 Team Members. Appointed
to his role as president and CEO in 2009, his
passion is the hallmark of his tenure at the company, which he joined in 1980. Daily he guides
Tyson Foods to be a company with a conscience,
focused on feeding the world great, affordable
food, while also making a positive difference in
peoples lives.
The students got up early Friday morning
and attended the workshop titled The SWAGtastic Voyage: A Journey to a Life of Service.
This workshop will help FFA members understand servant leadership and provide them
steps to accomplish
it through S.W.A.G.
(Service,
Winning
Attitude, Goals). After the workshop, the
whole Iowa contingency toured Churchill
Downs where the Kentucky Derby is held
each year. The group
had a brief tour of the
facility, watched a
video and then toured
the museum. After
the tour, the group

Dayton Review

Forgiving

We all know people who have hurt us.

The reason may be minor, but it is still hard to
forgive them. Yet, when we dont, it deeply
affects the way we relate to God and interact
with those around us. It deeply affects our own
hearts.
Years after his brothers had sold him
into slavery, Joseph became second in command over Egypt. He collected huge amounts
of grain, then a famine came. People came
from everywhere to buy food. His brothers
were among those wanting to buy grain.
The brothers didnt recognize him, so
he tested them. He accused them of being spies
and made it look as if they were thieves. Several times as he negotiated with them, he turned
aside so that they wouldnt see he was crying.
Joseph was not weeping just for himself
and all he had been forced to go through, but
he was also weeping for his brothers. Finally,
he couldnt take it any longer. He made himself known to them. He was reconciled with
his brothers and his father. Most important, he
could see how God had worked through him
to save his brothers. In Genesis 45, verse 7 he
said - God sent me ahead of you to save your
lives.
One thing Ive learned is that even when
people arent around anymore, we still need to
forgive them. Why? Because forgiving them
frees us from the resentment that has built up in
us.
We can truly forgive others only because God forgives us. God does not treat us as
our sins deserve, He does not hold our wrongdoing against us. To me, that is incredible!
No, it isnt easy to forgive. It is, however,

Dayton Review

Supernatural life discussed in Gowrie;

group claims to be Christian based
65 attend at Gowrie Community Center. . .
By Jill Viles
If Sundays attendance at the paranormal
research seminar is an accurate measure of interest, Gowrie is certainly a hub for those curious about supernatural occurrences. More than
65 people crowded into the Gowrie community
center to catch a glimpse of RIPP, Researchers in
Paranormal Phenomenon.
The group, founded in 2009, seeks to
investigate and document cases of paranormal
activity. RIPP, comprised of six members, describe themselves as a group of friends who came
together through mutual interest in the paranormal. They do not propose to define exactly what
has occurred at the site of a haunting, but rather
to document the activity, if possible, and respond
to those affected in a caring and personal matter.
Sometimes this type of investigation
stirs up controversy in the community, explained
Jeanette Thanupakron, lead investigator and
case manager. As her children attended private
Catholic school at St. Edmunds in Fort Dodge,
she described being called in to a priests office
to speak about her work.
He was very concerned about me, said
Thanupakron, but I explained all the members
of my team are devoted Christians. God oversees all demonic activity. He can overrule it.
She says all the members of the team
seek out the presence of God as they venture inside a site suspected to be haunted.
It almost feels like youve walked into
another dimension, explained Thanupakron as
she described her first steps into the infamous
Villisca home, subject to a brutal rampage in
1912.
It felt as though something was sitting
on my chest.
You must remember, she continued,
we dont go into this for fun and games, we go
because we know that something is there.
Jeannette Thanupakorn insists her ability to believe in the supernatural stems from her
own past. Her grandmother had always insisted
she felt a presence in her home. Jeanette, a skeptic at the time, recalled how her grandmother insisted she saw a man in her home.
During one vision, her grandmother rose
to offer her hand, but the man disappeared into
vapor, insisting it wasnt her time yet. Jeanette
bought the home six months after her grandmother died, and said that she too sensed a presence in her room.
As she lay in her bed, she rolled over to
see a cloudy mist at her bedside. To this day she

says she cant remember the visual, but she will

never forget the woosh sound of the entity.
Shortly after this experience, she sold the
home and moved away.
Additionally, Jeanette recalled an unforgettable event in her life to support her belief in
the paranormal. Sadly, her sister was taken off
life support, and during her passing, Amazing
Grace, played in the background.
Years later, as Jeanette drove past her sisters tombstone, the car radio changed the station
and began to play, Amazing Grace.
It is this type of contact that she now tries
to seek out in sites of paranormal phenomenon.
In the Villisca home, the group camped out with
cameras and waited patiently for signs from beyond. At one point during their recording of
events, they witnessed blocks knocked from a
dresser top, as well as a closet door the opened
and closed on their command.
She insists these circumstances dont occur in a timely fashion, as her group often had
to wait patiently for an event, sometimes even
watching for an hour or more.
In another video clip shown to those in
attendance, a childs dress hanging on the closet
door appears to move ever so subtly even
though no wind was
present.
When questioned about the possibility of a childs
presence in a haunting, Jeanette insists
children are free of the
spirit world and travel to heaven instead.
Sometimes an entity
responds to being spoken to like a child, and
this was demonstrated
during an audio playback where a spirit was
encouraged to close a
closet door.
At first, gentle
cajoling was used to
invoke a response,
but ultimately, a stern
parent voice, Im
not going to wait any
longer, you must shut
that door! provoked a
door closure captured
on video tape.
