Gowrie Fire Department


plans July 4th events

Members of the Gowrie Volunteer Fire Department


are an important part of Gowries 4th of July Celebration.
They are busy making plans along with making progress
building and raising funds for the new fire station!
Emphasizing the volunteer aspect of the department,
this is another group along with the support of many local businesses that help make the whole Gowrie Independence Day Celebration a great success! Youll see firemen washing and polishing the big red trucks as they get
ready for the Annual Independence Day parade.
At Laurel Park starting at Noon they host the
Freedom Cruise Car Show and Tractor Corral. (Any
make or model. No entry fee and dash plaques are awarded to the first 80 entries.)
If youre hungry, pork patties and brat meals will be
available so bring your chair, stay a while, and visit with
friends and neighbors! For more information about the
car show contact Pete Jorgensen.
New this year is a change in format for the water
fights to raise money for the new fire station. Located in
the parking lot of the swimming pool and Laurel Park,
water fights will start at 2:00 pm.
Pre-registration is essential to sponsor a nozzle
man (you can provide the person or a firefighter will be
provided.) All nozzle people will be backed up by two
firefighters and will be supplied a coat and helmet. Come
root for your favorite business or local celebrity! For
more information about the water fights or to register
please contact Trent Farnham.
If youre planning to visit the firemen at Laurel Park
you can also take a stroll through the historical museum
located inside the red train depot between 2:00 pm and
4:00 pm. Hot day? Cool off by visiting the swimming
pool, open from 1:00 - 6:00 pm. The Wheels of GYC
Skating Rink will be open from 1:00 - 5:00 pm and is
air-conditioned!
Meanwhile the firemen will still be working as they
prepare for the fabulous fireworks display! Cars begin
lining up way in advance around the football complex
and down Main Street as excitement builds for the show.
Thanks to the combined effort of local residents donating
pop cans, the American Legion Peterson Post 431 members that sort the bags and bags of cans, and the Gowrie
Volunteer Fire Department for lighting the fuses!
It is the perfect ending to a great celebration. While
viewing the beautiful light show it is easy to forget the

Southeast Valley: One Year Later. . .

New $1 Million air-conditioning system


set for Southeast Valley High School
Prairie Valley determines new long term plan. . .
By Tyler Anderson

Just like the Southeast Webster-Grand school district, voters in the Prairie Valley school district approved
a new Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) earlier
this year. After it was defeated the first time in Februrary,
it narrowly passed in April.

Before we decided to vote, we formed a facilities
committee and started identifying our needs, said Lois
Irwin, the Prairie Valley superintendent and curriculum
director for Southeast Valley. For the past few years,
building projects and building funds have been I need it!
Now! and there hasnt been a long-term plan.

According to Irwin, the policy of first come, first
serve came before much needed improvements. Since the
levy is now in effect, many have asked the question of
where the new revenues will be allocated.

More than a year ago, everybody put down all
of their needs, how much more do we get, and is it sufficient, Irwin said. We had a pretty good list, then we
prioritized that list and took it a facilities committee and
said, lets walk through the buildings, see if you agree or
disagree on what we need, do you see anything else and
then lets look at the budget. In short, we decided that
we can have better facilities, we have some needs that our
PPEL is not going to cover.

Irwin then gave more background information on
the creation of the five year plan.

Then, our board started looking at the tax rate, the
tax rates around us and is it reasonable to increase that,
Irwin said. Our board, like most boards, have landowners on them. When you start talking tax rate with landowners, you get their attention really quick.

However, there has been some confusion relating to
what the new PPEL would entail.

Sometimes, that face to face interaction is the only
way to understand it, Irwin said. Sometimes, people focus on what is important to them and that leads to a little
bit of confusion.

The biggest obstacle that the Prairie Valley school

district must face is to air condition the high school in


Gowrie.

Our high school isnt air conditioned, and that is
a $1 million project, Irwin said. Southeast WebsterGrand, Burnside, did do that, so theres a little pressure
on us to also have air conditioning.

Prairie Valley is currently looking to install air conditioning at the high school over the next two years.

Some of the tax levy funds will be used for roofing
improvements, as well as new windows to supplement
the new air conditioning system.

The Prairie Valley school board did see disagreement expressed from Callender and Farnhamville residents who came to the meetings, Irwin said. Irwin and the
school board understood on why both cities had grievances concerning the new PPEL.

Callender residents dealt with losing its elementary
school in the past, as Prairie Valley asked them for the tax
levy. Farnhamville residents, on the other hand, were dis-

Elissa, left, and Jeremy Mobley were recent addition to Johnson & Sons Real Estate. The Mobleys will serve
the Gowrie area with the services provided by Johnson &
Sons.

Jeremy and Elissa Mobley


join Johnson & Sons team
By Tyler Anderson


Johnson & Sons, has expanded its services to
Gowrie. In doing so, Jeremy and Elissa Mobley have
joined Johnson & Sons as real estate agents.

We both have been interested in real estate for
quite a while and own a few rental properties, Jeremy
Mobley said. We took numerous national and state required classes and then took a required national and state
exam to become certified.

It was a mutual thing, said Mark Klever, the
Johnson & Sons agent in Dayton. They were new in the
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.

Jeremy works full time in Carroll as a Site Supervisor for EDF Renewable Services. EDF provides
MidAmerican Energy with operations and maintenance
services for the 166 wind turbines near Carroll.

Elissa has recently been hired as the Library
Director for the city of Gowrie. Jeremy and Elissa have
lived in Gowrie for more than 10 years, after living in the
Churdan area.

Were impressed with them, with their positive
and enthusiastic attitude about real estate and life in general, Klever said.

The Gowrie Team is located at 1001 Evans St.

The summer concerts by the Karl L. King Municipal


Band will continue Sunday evening, June 21, starting at
7:30 pm. There is no admission charge, courtesy of the
City of Fort Dodge. These concerts are held at the Karl L.
King Band Shell in Oleson Park. Conductor of the Band
is Jerrold P. Jimmerson, and the Assistant Conductor is
Dr. David Klee. In case of inclement weather at the starting time, the concert may be cancelled.
An ice cream social by the Good Shepherd Lutheran
Church precedes each concert. Homemade ice cream and
fresh baked goodies are available for purchase, starting
around 6:30. Persons attending these concerts are reminded to bring their own lawn chairs, since no seating
is provided.
A wide variety of music is planned to appeal to all
musical tastes during this special Fathers Day presentation. The concert will begin with Henry Fillmores classic march, His Honor. Other marches to be performed
include three written by Karl L. King, Men of Music,
Atta-Boy, and Samson, along with one of Kings famous
galops, Prestissimo.
The evenings classical offering will be the overture
to the opera, Barber Of Seville, by the Italian composer
Gioacchino Rossini. This opera premiered in Rome, Italy
in February of 1816, and received its American debut in
New York in November of 1825. This masterwork is
possibly both the most famous and the best comic opera
ever written. Ludwig von Beethoven is quoted as saying,
It will be played as long as opera exists.
Highlighting this concert will be an audience favorite, Leroy Andersons Buglers Holiday. Members of the
Trumpet Trio who will perform this with the Band include Tim Miller from Humboldt, David Swaroff from
Dayton, and Harlan Vande Berg from Fort Dodge. The
trombone section will be featured as well on a ragtime
selection, Sweet Trombone Rag.
Other selections will include the well-known standard, Im Gettin Sentimental Over You, along with highlights from the Tony Award-winning musical Barnum,
based on the life of entrepreneur P.T. Barnum. There will
also be a musical tribute to movie maker Walt Disney
with the Walt Disney Overture on the occasion of the 50th
anniversary of the opening of Disneyland in California.
Each concert always closes in the traditional way,
with the playing of our National Anthem, The StarSpangled Banner.

Rebecca Nellis, former


PV graduate, awarded
$500 4-H scholarship


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.

*Schedule is pulled from the SV website for your convenience*


www.southeastvalley.org
***Schedules are subject to change at anytime***

He also aspired to a good days work for a good days


pay. He felt one should support their community in
any way they could and he did that by serving on the
fire department for many years and befriending many.
If anyone remembers him they know he liked to stop
and talk with town folk and make his rounds almost
every day.

His grandkids and great grandkids were a joy
to him, even when he learned of some of their shenanigans. He never chastised them but might offer a mild
opinion or a bit of advice to a parent or grandparent.
That would have been rare. He may have said to the
offender as he used to say to me in my youth when
I had done something not in true keeping with parental
teaching. Slowly in his deep voice, Well ---- did ya
learn anything?. That was that and time to abandon
the subject for more pleasant conversation.

I never heard my parents argue or get into
deeply controversial verbal exchanges. When there
was a problem they talked it out privately, and did not
involve me. It was their problem. What I did experience were those little embraces and love pats as they
passed one another and the quick peck on the lips or
cheek. And most of all deep love and respect for each
other. I will always love you Dad!
HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL FATHERS,
GRANDFATHERS, GREAT GRANDFATHERS!

snapped by Alta/Aurelia in a hard fought contest in Alta.

It was a battle of the best of the Twin Lakes
Conference as Dorage squared off against Alta/Aurelias
Josh McCormick. Despite Dorage striking out seven
Warrior batters, the junior was given a rare loss.

King and Davis led the Jags at bat, as King hit
a double while Davis drove him in for the score.

concerted that baseball and softball teams left for Dayton


and Harcourt respectively.

In the 2014 season, the Southeast Valley baseball
team played several games in Farnhamville before moving all of their games to Dayton.

The Prairie Valley softball team played their 2014
season in Farnhamville, winning the Twin Lakes Conference on their final campaign. This season, both Southeast
Webster-Grand and Prairie Valley squads combined into
Southeast Valley, who now play their games in Harcourt.

Due to moving the baseball and softball facilities to
Dayton and Harcourt, the facilities in Farnhamville have
experienced a downturn of activities. For now, according to Irwin, those fields are open for community leagues
and events.

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.
