GOWRIE, WEBSTER COUNTY, IOWA

VOL. 126 NO. 30

Gowrie City Council considers buying new

warning siren; hasnt worked since March
Gowrie will have two police cars. . .

By Jill Viles
The July 18th Gowrie City
Council meeting opened
with a discussion regarding the
new library desk constructed by
IPI, Iowa Prison Industries. According to board members, and librarian, Elissa Mobley, the circulation desk is of superb workmanship;
however, the stain of the red oak wood
does not provide a suitable match for the
cherry cabinetry built-ins in the northwest
corner of the library.

Mobley and the board members
have been in communication with IPI, and
reported a representative from IPI management is scheduled to meet with board members on July 20th, 2016.
Im confident this issue will be
resolved, offered mayor, Gayle Redman.

Library board member, Alan Wooters, agreed. I think things are on the
upswing.
Wooters also suggested that members of the community stop by the
library to see the exciting developments taking place.

In other library news,
the city attorney is looking into
whether the number of library
board members may be a question
added to an upcoming election bal-

lot. Currently, Iowa Code may require seven

board members, but the library board would
prefer five members. It is suspected a five
member board may be allowable, but a vote
of the public is required to support this. The
city attorney is considering the legality of
this matter.
Park Board, Utility Board
Next, Dave Hoover reported
on behalf of the parks board. He wishes to
commend Chuck Angstrom for dirt, and is
also in communication with Heartland Bank
to secure additional soil for projects taking
place in Brockett Park. Hoover reported the
baseball diamonds outfield is nearly level,
but needs to come up a bit more.

The Utilities board reported they
have been busy over the past couple weeks
cleaning up and repairing after storm damage. A recent severe weather storm has torn
a hole in the roof of the high school gymnasium according to Lisa Willardson, board secretary. Additionally, the school lost a tree.
Hoover also reported the batting cage has
been overturned and needs to be readjusted.

pool leaks decline
Moving on to the state of the
pool, Angstrom reports the leak has slowed
a lot from last year. He also reported the
chance of litigation between the city and the

For the third time in three years the Jaguars were

Jags like a lot of their losses this season beat themselves

giving Ogden too many chances, too many walks, giving
them the opportunity to beat them. Even though Ogden
had one hit on the night it was a huge hit as it scored
two runners which was the difference in the game. The
Jaguars knew they were facing a well-coached opponent
but gave them too many advantages which they took full
advantage of.
The Jaguars felt like they were the better team,
and proved it in the hits category with five hits compared
to their one. The difference is the bulldogs got the big hit
with runners in scoring position, while the Jags couldnt.
Leading the bats were Dakota Jaeschke and Ryan Gustafson both getting triples but again with no runners on
base it was hard to score important runs. Dakota one
upped Ryan as Dakota ended with two hits and one RBI.
Other Jags recording hits were Nolan Johnson and Cameron Anderson doing their part in the bottom half of the
lineup. It was a quite night for the top of the lineup which
was a big difference in the game but shocking as the top
has been getting it done all season long.
Defensively, Senior Cameron Anderson started
out on the mound pitching well but with a few walks allowed runners to cross the plate which gave Ogden an

Annual Public Release for School Meals

Southeast Webster-Grand and Prairie Valley Schools Board of Directors
Public Release

The Iowa Department of Education, Bureau of Nutrition and Health
Services, today announced its policy for free and reduced price meals for
children unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National

Households may be eligible for free or reduced price meal benefits one of
four ways listed below.

1. Households whose income is at or below the levels shown
are eligible for reduced price meals or free meals, if they complete an
Application for Free and Reduced Price School Meals/Milk. Households
may complete one application listing all children and return it to your childs
school. When completing an application, only the last four digits of the
social security number of the households primary wage earner or another
adult household member is needed.

2. Food Assistance households and children receiving benefits
under the Family Investment Program (FIP) are eligible for free meals.
Most children from Food Assistance and FIP households will be qualified
for free meals automatically. These households will receive a letter from
their childrens schools notifying them of their benefits. Households that
receive a letter from the school need to do nothing more for their children
to receive free meals. No further application is necessary. If any children
were not listed on the notice of eligibility, the household should contact the
school to have free meal benefits extended to them.

3. Some Food Assistance and FIP households will receive a letter
from the Department of Human Services (DHS) which will qualify the
children listed on the letter for free meals. Parents must take this letter to
the childs school to receive free meals.

4. Food Assistance or FIP households receiving benefits that do
not receive a letter from DHS must complete an application with the
abbreviated information as indicated on the application and instructions,
for their children to receive free meals. When the application lists an
Assistance Programs case number for any household member, eligibility
for free benefits is extended to all children in a household.

Eligibility from the previous year will continue within the same school
for up to 30 operating days into the new school year. When the carryover period ends, unless the household is notified that their children are
directly certified or the household submits an application that is approved,
the children must pay full price for school meals and the school will not
send a reminder or a notice of expired eligibility. An application cannot be
approved unless complete eligibility information is submitted. Applications
may be submitted at any time during the year. If a family member
becomes unemployed the family should contact the school to complete an
application. Households notified of their childrens eligibility must contact
the school if the household chooses to decline the free meal benefits.

Foster children are eligible for free meal benefits. Some foster
children will be qualified for free meals automatically through the State
Direct Certification process. Their host family will receive notification of
these benefits. Families that receive this notification from the school need
to do nothing more for their foster children to receive free meals. If a
family has foster children living with them and does not receive notification
and wishes to apply for such meals, instructions for making application for
such children are contained on the application form. A foster child may be
included as a member of the foster family if the foster family chooses to
also apply for benefits for other children. Including children in foster care
as household members may help other children in the household qualify
for benefits. If the foster family is not eligible for free or reduced price meal
benefits, it does not prevent a foster child from receiving benefits. Special
Supplement Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
participants may be eligible for free or reduced price meals based on a
completed application.

School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program and the Afterschool

Care Snack Program.
State and Local school officials have adopted the following family size and
income criteria for determining eligibility:

When known by the school, households will be notified of any child
eligible for free meals if the children are enrolled in the Head Start/Even
Start Program or are considered homeless, migrant or runaway. If any
children are not listed on the notice of eligibility, contact the school for
assistance in receiving benefits. If households are dissatisfied with the
application approval done by the officials, they may make a formal appeal
either orally or in writing to the schools designated hearing official. The
Policy Statement on file at the school contains an outline of the hearing
procedure. School officials may verify the information in the application,
and that deliberate misrepresentation of information may subject the
applicant to prosecution under applicable State and Federal criminal
statutes. Households should contact their local school for additional
information.

There will be no discrimination against individuals with Limited
English Proficiency (LEP) in the school meal programs.

early lead. The Jags finally got on the scoreboard and

tied up the game 2 to 2 before Cameron gave way to Nolan Johnson who also pitched well but again walks ended
up hurting the Jags as the bases loaded up and then came
the one hit in the game scoring two and giving Ogden a
4 to 2 advantage. Finishing up the game was Andrew
Dorage who came in on a short pitch count to keep the
bulldogs at bay and give the Jags a chance to make the
comeback like they have a lot this season. However it
was not meant to be as the Jags couldnt get it done
The Jaguars say goodbye to five seniors: Cameron Anderson, Cade King, Andrew Dorage, Carter Steck
and Mitchell Reck. These five boys have been a huge
part of this baseball program since we joined three years
ago. Their contributions to the program have made it as
good as it has been. Three seasons, three district final
games, one sub state appearance which is something to
be very proud of! They all have been huge contributors
not only this year but past years as well. Our young guys
have some huge shoes to fill but with 7 returning Juniors,
most of them with a lot of varsity time the Jags hope to
achieve the same level, and look for more next year.

Thank you to fans, parents, and community
members for coming out and supporting your Jaguars. It
means a lot to the coaches and players to know you support them, thanks for another good season!

-pool manufacturers is a 99% certainty. He reported there

will soon be a joint meeting among attorneys and concerned citizens. A representative from the company pro0viding the sealant used for the pool will also participate.
.
In additional news regarding the pool, it was reported that the Lindquist CD valued at $200,000 will be
0utilized to cover pool costs; however, the CD may not
.be redeemed until 2019. Heartland Bank offered a CD
interest rate of 1.17% from this July to July 2017, and
nSecurity Savings Bank offered a rate of 1.35%. The CD
nwas offered to Security Savings Bank.
Police car, warning system
Both Heartland Bank and Security Savings Bank
.were considered as providers of a loan for the $40,000
police vehicle to be purchased by the city. Both offered
five year loans, but Heartland Banks offer of 2.2% was
preferable to Security Savings Banks offer of 2.45%.
The city decided to pursue the vehicle loan through
Heartland Bank.

Police Chief, Patrick Monaghan suggested the
city really needs to consider the issue of the citys storm
siren. He states Gowries warning siren has not worked
since March. It is suspected the siren was damaged by
lightning.

Mayor Redman inquired whether a lightning
strike is cause for insurance to cover a replacement siren. She was advised it would likely be, but they need a
chance to get up to the tower and survey the situation and
this requires the use of a crane. Monaghan would like
to see the city purchase a new siren, if possible. It was
reported a new siren and pole would cost approximately
$19,000.

He also wanted to emphasize that the siren is
meant to be audible outdoors throughout the city limits,
but is not intended to wake people up from sleep in the
middle of the night. A weather radio should be implemented by those who want to be alerted in a loud enough
manner to wake them.

In other police news, Monaghan reported he is
talking to a couple people regarding interest in serving as
reserve officers. He is pleased to announce he has been
offered a new police cage by Webster County Sherriff,
Jim Stubbs. The city will now have two fully functioning police cars, and it must be decided what to do about a
third which is no longer needed.

It was decided to auction the car, known affectionately as Paula by silent bidding. Also, Monaghan
wishes to submit the name of Marshal Thomas Nicholson who was killed in the line of duty in Gowrie on
July 11th, 1908. This officers memorial has been
granted at the state level, but Monaghan wants to
make sure he is remembered on a national level as
well.

Down Memory Lane

B Y

The trails are still leading us...

The mind does wonder so Im not sure where
this one came from. Perhaps I was watching a retro TV
movie or ??? Perhaps it was some modern music that
made me remember some of my time. I started taking
piano lessons in 1938 or 1939 and was at the age where I
was developing a liking for the popular music of that day.
It was probably a few years later that I finally got to order
a couple pieces of popular sheet music from the Sears &
Roebuck catalog. Yes, they did sell about everything and
if my memory is correct they cost approximately 35 cents
each. The royalties must have been minute on those days.

Those pieces of music were Dont Fence Me
In and South of the Border, both leaning toward the
Cowboy genre. The best known singer/artist for both had
been Gene Autry. Eddie Arnold and Roy Rogers may
have made their records of them too; at least did them on
their radio programs/appearances and maybe movies. I
didnt get to see many movies at the time. Perhaps that is
why I enjoyed their TV programs with my children when
they finally advanced to that entertainment venue.

Are there any readers who remember the song
group Sons of the Pioneers? They primarily did country/
western type music and both sang in close harmony and
played instruments. One of the original sons was Roy
Rogers who was known then by his birth name, Leonard
Slye. When he got into acting and doing his cowboy
movies and TV that name just didnt fit so he became
Roy Rogers.

When he and his wife, Dale Evans, had their
TV program I noted one thing which seemed confusing
and didnt fit in but gave good fun too and that was
Nellybelle, Pat Bradys WWII type jeep that was always conking out at the wrong time. The children never
questioned it even though otherwise the program seemed
more like the turn of the century with old west settings,
ranch, town, people, etc. Roy rode his famous horse,
Trigger and Dale had Buttermilk and their dog, Bullet,
was trotting along with them. Back at the ranch their
old buddy, Gabby Hayes, was doing all sorts of ranch
chores and adding his own form of comedy. Each show
was basically the same, bad guys doing bad things, looks
like theyll get away with it and may even bring harm to
someone, but Roy and Dale come along to save the day
and Pat, eager to help, heads out in Nellybelle but Nellybelle doesnt always perform as she should. However,
everything comes out okay in the end and the bad guys
are caught and disaster avoided.

Our closest friends had children in the same age
group as we did. Their daughter, Robin, about four or five
years old always said she wanted to be Roy Rogers (not
Dale) when she grew up. Roy and Dale (in real life)
were known for their caring and kind heartedness. Roy
even sang some with the Sons of the Pioneers and in later
life did go with them on some of their gigs, so it was
reported. The personnel of that group changed over the
years and they travelled around the country. It had to be
In the 80s that the Sons were the feature show at the
then local Ingersoll dinner theater. My friend and I and
another couple attended that show. Those boys were
even aging (many of originals having already met their
maker) but they still had the same sound. They said that
in later times at their shows they would sometimes call
Roy and he would talk to them long distance, the phone
call amplified to be heard by the audience but he was no
longer able to do even that. One of the still signature
songs was sung, Tumblin Tumble Weeds sounding
much the same as we recalled from earlier years and of
course, Roy and Dales theme song at the end, Happy
Trails to you, until we meet again --- a bit of a tear jerker
to those of us who more or less grew up with Roy Rogers.

Gene Autry, too, had a TV show but it apparently hasnt taken the prominence in my memory bank
that Roy and Dale did or maybe its because he was not
as popular with my children. When he sang Dont Fence
Me In he had that cowboy twang to his voice that was
expected of the Western pictures singers. Give me land,
lots of land under starry skies above---- Dont fence me
in. That was what we were given to believe all people

S A R A

D O W N S

who went west wanted lots of land and freedom. He

also had another favorite, South of the Border. I dont
remember all the words now but it continued, down
Mexico way, probably leading to finding a pretty senorita.

So, I grew up on songs that had memorable
melodies and words and you could understand them.
Even the crooners a bit later, Sinatra, Crosby, Como --sang songs that soon had one humming and singing to
yourself or with others. Those were some of my good
old days. Children of today would probably laugh or at
least tee hee a bit to hear some of those old ditties now
but then they will remember their music as fondly. Oh,
we had some doozies too Three little fishies, in an
itty bitty pool and they fam and they fam all over the
dam. Boop boop, dit-em dat-em wa-tem choo. Yeah,
I remember Kay Kyser (a guy) and Ish Kabible who had
the bangs haircut way before the Beatles.

Hang in there a few more years and entertainment and music will change again. Get ready to open up
your memory storage boxes.

The First Mile

...let us run with endurance the race that is set before
us. Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfected
of faith.

With all of our joggers I think much is said
about going the extra mile...and thats a good thing. In
fact, Jesus Christ taught us to go the extra mile in service
to others. But, as many runners know, it is easy to overlook the importance of going the first mile. When they
are training, it is not always the third or fourth mile that is
the toughest to do, but instead they may struggle with the
first mile. Sometimes it is difficult to get started, to get
into your rhythm and that first mile can sometimes be the
biggest challenge.

How do you start your day? If you are like everyone else, you probably have a full list of things you
need to do. There are times when our lists get too long
and we dont know where to start. There are other times
that we skip over some very important things realizing
there are too many things on your list.

The best way is to start with that first mile of
the day by quietly spending some time with the Master
in prayer. When we spend time with God before we do
anything else always makes our days go more smoothly.
and it helps us navigate through our days.

Prayer: Lord, help us as we plan our days, and
help us realize that the first thing on our list should be
spent with you. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen

First Webster County 4-H Club started

in Dayton Township in 1923 after WWI
Myrtle Carlson president. . .

The first record abut 4-H Club Work is linked
into the history of the beginning of the Farm Bureau Organization in Webster County which began in 1917. The
Farm Bureau was organized and devoted most of its time
to war work and conservation work in the county. It also
established a Labor Bureau as there was a severe shortage
of manpower due to WWI.

The records of the early clubs have been misplaced so the only record we have is the report of the
County Agent, H. R. Richards, who mentioned that one
of his first duties in the county was to try to organize
Girls and Boys Clubs to help in the war effort. He held 19
meetings between April 22 to May 19, 1917 and reached
1727 people and signed up 162 club members. It was reported that 200 young people attended the first picnic and
he called in four men to help him keep them busy and
happy.

The girls were organized into Canning Clubs
and the boys were started off in Pig Clubs but the boys
work did not thrive so many of them were disbanded.
However, one good thing came out of this as with the
help of the Fort Dodge Serum Company, a hog cholera
school was held to show over 200 men how terrible this
disease could be. They were made more aware about how
contagious it was when they had to disinfect themselves
before leaving the meeting to return home.

A Cold Pack Canning demonstration was held
in Fort Dodge and it created great interest so it was taken
out to many other parts of the country. This demonstration was taken over by the Girls Clubs and one team was
sent to Des Moines to demonstrate their work in the war
effort. There is no record of who was on this team.

In the meantime the men had formed Corn Clubs
and were also planting spring Wheat as a Food Conservation project in cooperation with the Council of National
Defense. In fact they were experimenting with gypsum
products to increase the yield per acre. They were also
plowing up to the road to allow more acres for production.

The men and boys organized a Livestock Breeders Assn. and owned two pure bred stallions, 12 pure bred
bulls, 15 pure bred sows and 32 pure bred boars. This effort increased the interest in better farm animals.

In 1921 Food Production and Poultry were chosen as projects to work on. The goal was one good flock of
poultry in every township. This also increased the interest
in good nutrition and the school in Harcourt requested
help as they thought some of the children were troubled
with malnutrition. This was found to be true so all of the
children were weighed and given a card and advice to

given out with this slogan: Card of white alright; card of
blue wont do; card of red trouble ahead. Things were
improving when influenza struck and partially undid the
good work.

The first 4-H Club was started in the west part
of Dayton Township with Inez Holmstrom as the Club
Leader. It dates back to the early 1920s. We are not positive and there are no records to be found so we are depending on the memory of some of those who belonged
as well as Mrs. Holmstrom. We think that Amy Bloom
was probably on the County Committee and was instrumental in starting this club.

The name of the club was Martha Peterson, Garment Club, Iowana Club, Dayton, Iowa. The first program book was saved by one of the younger members of
this Club and it is dated 1923. However, we know that
the club was organized earlier. The Officers listed were
Myrtle Carlson, Pres.; Violet Bloom, V. Pres.; Frankie
Jacobson, Secy Treas.; and Martha Peterson, Reporter.
Members included: Velma Kramer, Olive Peterson, Pauline Berg, Gladys Lindroth and Helen Carlson. It was
known as the Iowana Club. Gloria Hayes joined after
the book was printed.

Two major trails at Brushy Creek State Park
near Lehigh were closed last week because of heavy rains
early in the week.

Brushy Creek State Recreation Area, in Webster
County, temporarily closed equestrian and bike trails due
to wet conditions. The 12-mile Lake Trail remains open.
For up-to-date information contact the park office at 515543-8298.

People planning park visits in the near future are
reminded to check on current conditions before heading
out. Several Iowa state parks have been impacted by recent heavy rainfalls.

Its always a good idea to check out the closure
information on our website or call individual park offices
to find out latest information, reminds DNR State Parks
Bureau chief Todd Coffelt.

alerts can be found at http://www.iowadnr.gov/Places-toGo/State-Parks-Rec-Areas/Closure-Information.

count.

During the Great Depression Deere and Company
never repossessed any equipment from American farmers as affirmed in the Travel Channel series Made in America.
That spirit of caring continues to this day. At our John
Deere dealership in Harcourt we care about our customers. We want to help our farmer friends be successful.

Located on Highway 175 and U.S. Highway 169 since 1960, Harcourt Equipment has a large
showroom displaying lawn and garden equipment, parts, ATVs, toys, clothing and more.
Harcourt Equipment offer a full line of John
Deere products to its customers including
tractors, combines, planters, sprayers, and
lawn & garden equipment. They stock and
sell commercial work site products such
as mini-excavators, skid loaders, and other John Deere construction products.
