real estate business and they approached us. We thought
it was a good opportunity for us to help them get into the
real estate business as well as expanding our real estate
services to Gowrie.

MidAmerican Energy with operations and maintenance

Rebecca Nellis, daughter of Jeffery and Ruth
Nellis, received $500 from the Phyllis J. Olson 4-H
Scholarship June 7.
Rebecca is a sophomore at Iowa State University majoring in Food Science. Her future plans are to
conduct her own research into world hunger and nutrient
supplements. She hopes to find innovative ways to use
Iowas crops to create nutrient supplements to alleviate
world hunger and in the process, give Iowa an economic
boost.
Rebecca is a currently a Collegiate 4-H Member and was a finalist in the Iowa Women of Innovation
competition for her research in using soybeans to create
a nutritional supplement for starving people. In 4-H, I
grew confident through communication, leadership, and
citizenship experiences. For me, Ive taken what Ive
learned about citizenship through 4-H and applied it at
club, state, national, and global levels.

I remember dad...
It isnt just at the time of Fathers Day that I
think about my Dad and remember many things about
him. It is often when little things in my days may remind me of something about him. I have no bad or sad
memories about my parents. When they left this world
I reminded myself that each time I had a sad thought
I should replace it with a happy memory. Soon those
happy memories grew and overtook the sorrows.
I have mentioned before that Dad wasnt a
church attender, however he never discouraged Mom or
me from participating in any way we chose. Mom didnt
drive so he would take us to church and take me to Sunday School, Confirmation classes, summer Bible School,
various activities. He would take me to the MYF meetings and parties and other kid activities. And --- he
would go to the childrens Christmas and Bible School
programs. He always gave me my offering and didnt
deny Moms financial and physical participation. Dad
loved a good joke and to tell them and admittedly, sometimes a bit off color but not raunchy or anti-racial. He
felt ALL people needed the respect of others but they
must earn it on their own and he didnt feel just because
someone had more money in their pockets than others
that they deserved more respect. That must be earned.
He had respect for the honest hard working person whatever their job.
It was later in life, way later, that Mom would
come home from Sunday Services (by that time they
only lived a little over a block from the church) and Dad
would have been watching a service on TV. She said
nothing but she smiled to herself. One summer Sunday she had been in the bathroom preparing herself for
church. Dad usually would be sitting in his easy chair
reading the Sunday paper. That morning he wasnt
there and she didnt see him roaming around outside.
Then she heard him coming downstairs. She looked at
him with surprise as he was all dressed up! Before she
could ask he said, I thought I would go with you today.
He had gotten acquainted with Pastor Lynn Patrick. He
liked him and he continued going most Sundays, even
after Moms death. When his hearing got worse he reverted to his TV which could be tuned as loud as needed.
The friendship continued, however, with the preacher
visiting often until he was called to another parish.
Dad was one who believed in Do unto others.

Hey friends, its me again. Ranting and raving to
the stars (not really) about whats going on for the week.
I cant thank everyone enough for the warm welcome I
have received over the past few weeks. Its greatly appreciated.
Im in the midst of working on the Southeast
Valley: One Year Later series, where I should be in my
third installment. I want to give kudos to Southeast Webster-Grand superintendent Rich Stoffers and Prairie Valley superintendent Lois Irwin for providing some good
information on those stories. I also want to give thanks to
Todd Lundgren for providing me with an amazing idea to
conclude the series. Stay tuned.
Anyway, Id like to touch on a few things:
New Caseys store opens in Gowrie: I will
say this, its quite nice. Located a block away from the
old gas station and to the right, this Caseys has all the
bells and whistles.
Its easy to move around to get gas and to park
at the front of the convenience store.
It has a beer cave and a sub sandwich station, and the staff
are top notch. I have to really give kudos to the kitchen
staff. Those subs and pizza are worth the try.
Not what it used to be: Fort Dodge held its
latest edition of its signature Frontier Days from June 5
to June 7. While there were great acts in Scotty Roxtar
and Saucy Jack, good friends of mine, the Fort Museum
seemed a little empty compared to past years. Another
small complaint is that they do not give out the buttons
anymore upon paying admission. Instead, they charge a
little extra.
I can agree that it is for security purposes and an
armband is easier to track an individual going in and out
of the event. Its a shame though, I used to collect those
buttons.
I know that Fort Dodge is investing its resources
into its Shellabration, and they should with Boston coming on June 26. However, Shellabration has since moved
out to Harlan and Hazel Rogers Sports Complex rather
than the Oleson Park Bandshell. Now, the name doesnt
make sense. Maybe its time to give it a rebrand and even
move it up to the weekend of Frontier Days. It is just a
thought.
On a lighter note, it was good to see Saucy Jack
again, even though they got rained out in the second act
of their show. Their next big show is at the RAGBRAI
event on July 20 in Fort Dodge, so I recommend catching
them for some good, classic rock music.
Ballpark improvements: I want to give the
baseball and softball coaches, along with the Southeast
Webster-Grand school district, huge props on the latest improvements to the athletic fields in Dayton and
Harcourt.
The new outfield banner at the softball field and
the refurbished bumpers and sign at the baseball field
look fantastic. I managed to catch Coach Brad Anderson
and talk about more improvements down the line, where
I was told that more were on the way. This included an
outfield banner like the softball field and a banner that
indicates a 2014 Twin Lakes Conference championship.
Those are all great, but I do have one little suggestion to make. I would love to see Southeast Valley,
LVCTA and WCCTA discuss the prospect of installing
wireless internet at the football, softball and baseball
fields.
Having a password-encoded wifi network will
make the job of putting together statistics, sending results
to media outlets (not just me, but the radio and television
stations as well) and live tweets by the school, as well as
the local media, all the more easier to do.
I would not think that wireless internet at these
facilities would have any down side, nor would it be too
expensive for all parties involved. If all else fails, Im
sure some folks would love to donate to making that a
reality, myself included.
Church League in full swing: On June 7, the
area churches are beginning to start their Church League
softball seasons in Stratford. While I have known about it
for the past year or so, this is an awesome idea. To have
a Harcourt/Boxholm team, the two Dayton churches and
Stratford playing each other every Sunday is a great way
to enhance community relations and love for the Lord
through friendly competition and fun times.
Perhaps someday, Id like to see the churches
in Lehigh, Gowrie, Farnhamville and our other communities take part in the Church League no matter what
denomination these churches are.
