Sister Mary Bernard, who served Christ the KingCatholic Church in Dayton, dies in Dubuque Served Dayton with Sister Mary Lois...

Sister Mary Bernard, who served the Dayton Cath-olic Church for many years in the 1990s, and the early years of first decade of this century, has passed away at a Dubuque, Iowa, retirement home for nuns. She died on Dec. 14, 2014.

Sister Mary Bernard served the Christ the King Catholic Church and Dayton Community with Sister Mary Lois. Sisters Mary Bernard and Sister Mary Lois performed many acts of kindness for people of all faiths while they were in Dayton.

Sister Mary Bernard was nearly 80 when she retired to move into the retirement home for nuns in Dubuque. Sister Mary Bernard lived in the Dayton Catholic rectory with Sister Mary Lois; the rectory was adjacent to Christ the King Catholic Church in Dayton.

Mary Eva Mauss, daughter of Joe and Julia (Blake) Mauss, was born on August 18, 1925. Twenty years later she entered the community of the Dubuque Sisters of the Presentation.

Having received a bachelor’s degree from Loras

College, and later a master’s degree from Clarke Col-lege, Sister Bernard served in Iowa schools and parishes: Placid, Algona, Mason City, Lawler, Clare, Dubuque (St. Columbkille), Sheldon and Dayton, as well as in Winner, South Dakota, and Oak Lawn, Illinois. Her ministries in-cluded elementary and middle school teacher, principal and parish visitor.

During her 14 years of retirement Sister Bernard en-joyed reading, puzzles, card playing and spending time in prayer, as well as visiting and entertaining family and friends. Shortly before her retirement Sister was named “Champion of Justice” for her faithful endeavors in the causes of justice and peace; she received the first award for this title from the Sioux City Diocese. During her re-tirement years she continued to be concerned about and involved in social justice issues with a focus on rural life: family farms, rural poor and the environment, particularly through her participation in the ecumenical organization

SV girls track team wins six eventsPlaces 2nd in five events...

The girls team had one of their best nights but it was not enough to pull off a team championship. Coach Swi-eter said that he has won meets and has lost meets but this one hurt losing the most because he felt the girls did everything possible to win this meet.

Coach Swieter said he knows every girl gave me their best effort and that is all he can ask from them. The team fell seven points short of South Central Calhoun who had 25 girls competing against Southeast Valley’s 19.

The Jaguars would win an event but SCC would have two girls place and double up in points. There was nothing to blame and the team did not leave anything on the table.

The team got every possible point they could get from the girls. The team also earned points they were not expecting with some girls really stepping up.

After the last meet we talked to the team and told them that some of them need to get out of their comfort zone running and take it to the next level said Coach Swi-eter. After this meet coach feels most of them did this.

Coach was very happy with the effort every girl gave and knows if they continue to get better it will be

Jodi Arias trial an expensive, exhausting ordeal for state, familyDeath penalty has many problems

One of the many great things about Iowa is that this state does not have capital punishment. Capital punish-ment doesn’t make sense financially and death penalty laws can result in longer trials and more appeals.

A case in point is the Jodi Arias trial, which recently concluded. Arias was found guilty of murdering her boy-friend Travis Alexander in Mesa in 2008 in Mesa, AZ, where I reside in the winter. The murder trial drew na-tional attention for many months.

If anyone ever deserved the death penalty it would be Jodi Arias. At first she denied murdering Alexander, who was found dead in his shower. Later she admitted killing Alexander, but said she did it in self-defense. She kept changing her story. Finally at a recent sentencing hearing she apologized to the court and to the Alexan-der family for her crime. Said Arias, “I’m horrified with what I did, and I wish there was some way I could take it back.” She finally said the right thing.

Arias shot Alexander, stabbed him almost 30 times, and slit his throat. It was a brutal, cold-blooded murder. In the first five-month soap opera trial Arias was found guilty by the jury of first degree murder but the jury could not agree on the penalty (death penalty or life in prison). Arizona has the death penalty and under state law there needed to be a second trial. Can you believe that?

The poor Alexander family had to go through anoth-er lengthy trial. They had to hear all the weird sexual al-legations and charges of sexual and physical abuse made by Arias, which could only be refuted by Alexander (who was dead). It was sickening to say the least.

Arias certainly didn’t mind having another trial. She seemed to like the attention. It was a senseless ordeal for the people of Arizona, and especially the Alexander family. And people like Nancy Grace made Arias almost a star on her syndicated TV program. And Arias said on the program First Edition: “No jury is going to convict me. I am innocent, and you can mark my words on that.”

Arias was a good performer. And that’s all it was, a performance. But she didn’t fool the prosecutors, the jury, and the judge.

The jury found Arias guilty of first degree murder af-ter the second trial. But on the sentencing phase the jury couldn’t come to an agreement. There was one juror--and one is all it takes--that refused to vote for the death penalty.

So under Arizona law the judge (Sherry Stephens) had two choices: Life in prison or life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years. She sentenced Arias to a full life term. Said Stephens, “The crime was espe-cially cruel. It involved substantial planning and prepa-ration. The defendant destroyed evidence and went to great lengths to conceal her involvement.”

At the sentencing hearing Tanisha Sorenson, sister of Travis, said to Arias, “Stop murdering my brother again and again by smearing his name.”

Most European countries don’t have the death pen-alty and these countries now refuse to sell the lethal drug for executions in the United States. Now death penalty states are opting to go back to the electric chair, the gas chamber, or even by firing squad. There are problems with all of these methods, but capital punishment states have to do something.

With DNA technology and other advancements mis-takes in murder trials have been discovered in the past 15 years or so. In states without the death penalty the in-nocent person in prison was released, but sometimes the person was already terminated in a death penalty state.

There is good in everyone, even Jodi Arias. She had a long on-again, off-again relationship with Travis. Why she committed the horrible crime will never be known. In a way, her life sentence is more harsh than death. Arias will be confined to a small cement cell with the barest of necessities. There is usually no communication with

Dear EditorReading about the police shooting two dogs in Fort

Dodge. It seems like the police remedy for everything is just shoot humans and animals because it is most conve-nient, and prosecutors never charge them anyway. Most any dog will become aggressive and defensive when con-fronted by a stranger. Why don’t delivery personnel, mail carriers, UPS people, and meter readers have to shoot dogs? Do police provoke the dog so they have an excuse to shoot it? Do they purposely run in front of a vehicle so they have an excuse to shoo the driver?

How many non-attacking non-dangerous humans are gunned down by police because they were only carrying a pop can, or telephone, or reaching for a billfold, or run-ning away, or laying down, or in a surrender mode? We never hear the number of these because they’re just con-sidered trash compared with the life of a police officer. Is anyone so duped as to believe we have equal justice for all?

of the Churches’ Center for Land and People (CCLP).As a product herself of a small family farm and rural

dutiful and unassuming. She followed the guidelines of the prophet Micah to live justly and to walk humbly. There wasn’t any place she couldn’t go in her black skirt and simple white shirt-waist blouse. Vanity claimed no part of her.

Her classmate, Sister Sheila Kane, shared that their group of novices had been self-named “The Seraphic Seven,” admitting that Sister Bernard was probably the only one who came close to fitting the name. Steadfast in faith, conscientious and rule-following, Sister Bernard had a calm, reflective, unhurried demeanor. She walked slowly and talked slowly, and it took her forever to tell a story or recount an incident.

She might be further described as a woman of soul-strength and simplicity, she had an endearing openness to God and to all those she met. Outgoing and friendly she reached out to others; no one went unrecognized because hospitality was important to Sister Bernard. She made a concerted effort to greet and meet any and all Mount Lo-retto guests with her well-used introduction, “I see we have some important people here today,” at which point her smile would be returned and she would learn the names of the guests and from where they came.

If they happened to be from Dubuque she would mention that she had a brother in Dubuque, John Mauss, Chief of Police, whom they might happen to know – and they usually did. And so the conversation would contin-ue. Her outgoing, cheerful and friendly demeanor was re-warded when she celebrated her jubilee in Dayton, Iowa; the whole town turned out, though Catholics made up the minority in this small Iowa town.

Another of Sister Bernard’s well-used reminders offered inspiration: “I loved every minute of my teach-ing but I made up my mind when I retired that no matter what, I wasn’t going to complain.” And she didn’t! Her example endures.

Jags Golf have 2-0 weekThe Southeast Valley boy’s golf team had two wins

on the past week.Their first meet took them to Goldfield, a course

none of the squad members had ever played or seen be-fore, to play Clarion-Goldfield. It was a horrible night for the Jags as they shot an ugly 180. Yet that score was good enough to tie the team from Clarion-Goldfield. Using a fifth score to break the tie our Jags pulled out the victory. Logan Boerner brought home the runner up with a 42. Conner Conrad 44, Keegan Goodwin 46, and Josh Johnson’s 48 were the counting scores. Koltan Lun-dberg or Spencer Johnson’s 49 then allowed the team to get the win.

Two days later the team traveled to Twin lakes golf course to play South Central Calhoun, who are one the the favorites to win the Twin Lakes conference. The Jags shook off their bad play from earlier in the week and shot an impressive 151. This earned them the victory over the very good Titan team who shot a 154. Conrad had a very nice round of 34 to earn meet medalist honors. Boerner 37, Goodwin 39, and Lundberg’s 41 gave the Jags their winning total.

The Jags are now 6 - 1 on their season, as we near the halfway point.

The Southeast Valley junior varsity went 1 - 1 on the week. The team beat Clarion-Goldfield, but lost to South Central Calhoun. Nolan Brand’s 52 at Goldfield, and Travis Jone’s impressive 41 paced the jags in these meets.

Meeting Ed Fallon and the Bak-ken Oil Pipeline Facts

By Amanda DeVries

March 31 I had the pleasure of meeting Ed Fal- lon, Peter Clay and Tom Cole over dinner at the Iron Sad- dle. I had never eaten at the Iron Saddle before and found the atmosphere comfortable, the food good and filling.

The whole point of the meeting was this proposed Dakota Access Bakken Oil Pipeline that might be running across our beautiful state, having the potential to ruin it - agriculture, water, recre-ation, you name it.

I was automatically opposed to the pipeline because of the devastation I’ve seen from other oil spills in the news over the years. I am even more op-posed now after the town meeting. But this column is not about my opion, rather straight facts.

I was disappointed in the number of people that attended and between Ed, Peter, Attorney Keith Put-ney and a couple of folks that were there, the con-versation and statement of facts was anything but dull.

The pipeline would enter Iowa (in Lyon Coun-ty) from South Dakota (carrying crude oil from the Bakken oil reserves in North Dakota), run through 17 Iowa counties and leave the state in the very Southeast corner (Lee County) going into Illinois.

Ed, Peter and Keith presented a lot of information that night at the meeting, and I mean A LOT! If I were to put it all in here, my column would never end. But I am wanting to put in some hard cold facts and leave the rest to you. There is so much informa-tion out there, just start somewhere.

Ed is walking the proposed route as close as possible, making sure not to trespass on anyones’ prop-erty. Dakota Access, LLC is a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners based in Houston, Texas. Phillips 66 has joined to finance the project. LS2 group is handling public rela- tions for the project and some of their employees have ties with Governor Brans-tad. The Iowa Utilities Board has the authority to ap-prove it and is entirely appointed by Gov. Branstad, but the Senate has to approve his ap- pointments by two-thirds vote. Ed noted there is no permit ap-proved yet either for the project.

They had on display two picture enlargements of oil spills. One was from the 2010 spill in Mar-shall, Michigan into the Kalamazoo River. The clean up cost for that one is over $1 billion. The second picture they had was the spill in Mayflower, Arkansas costing over $70 million. Another one (of many) mentioned was a spill in Yellowstone River, Montana with a cost over $135 million.

One key fact with any pipeline is not if it’s going to break but when. Here is some of the in-formation presented by the Bakken Pipeline Resis-tance Coalition: * Spills and leaks from the pipeline

People may file support, or opposition to pipeline

The petition for a hazardous liquid pipeline permit filed with the Iowa Utilities Board by Dakota Access, LLC in Docket No. HLP-2014-0001 is currently being reviewed by Board staff and a hearing date has not been established.

On January 20, 2015, Dakota Access, LLC, an En-ergy Transfer Company, filed its petition for permit with the Board regarding a proposal to build a crude oil pipe-line (the Dakota Access Pipeline, a.k.a. Bakken Pipeline) across Iowa. Public informational meetings in each in-volved county were held throughout Iowa during Decem-ber 2014. For more details, visit the HLP-2014-0001 in-formational page and review frequently asked questions about eminent domain.

Anyone seeking to file objections, comments, and letters of support in this docket may do so by using the Iowa Utilities Board’s Electronic Filing System (EFS), citing the docket number, and clicking on the “Submit Filing” tab and following all instructions to log-in as a guest, upload documents and receive a filing ID number. After the filing has been processed, the filer will receive e-mail notification including a link to the filing. If a fil-ing is rejected, the filer will receive an automatic e-mail rejection notice from the IUB EFS Help Desk, along with a reason for the rejection. Notification of a rejected filing will not be provided to other parties on the service list or to the Office of Consumer Advocate or to Board staff. All documents in a rejected filing must be re-submitted once the appropriate corrections have been made.

Opinion. . .

What is impact of Bakken Oil Pipeline in Iowa?Meeting Ed Fallon and the Bakken Oil Pipeline Facts...

would impact all Iowans, threatening wildlife, water quality and land integrity.

* When it comes to transportation, nobody has said that the pipeline would reduce oil transporta-tion by rail.

* The pipeline would cross all major watersheds in Iowa, including those with already impaired wa-terways. * Bakken crude oil is more flammable be-cause of a of a lower flash point to ignition, posing a significant

fire risk.* The pipeline is scheduled to be a 30 inch pipe,

running 1,134 miles across Iowa, (is supposedly go-ing to be two to four feet underground) and carry 570,000 barrels a day.

* 70 - 80% of oil leaks are discovered by landowners, not the pipeline owner.

* Bakken crude is currently transported through nine Iowa counties via three freight trains a week.

These are just a few of the facts about the pipeline. In order to get the land needed for the project Da- kota Access is trying to get the landowners to sell out. They threaten the property owners with em-inent domain if they don’t sign an easement contract and Ed warns people not to sign without consulting a lawyer. Emi- nent domain is the right of govern-ment or its agent to take private property for public use with compensation.

As far as a deadline, or timeline, the Bakken Resistance Coalition hasn’t heard anything specific. The Iowa Utilities Board might make some move-ment this summer, but that is pure speculation.

When doing my own research on some other things pipeline related I came across and article on Bak- ken.com. The same pipeline would run through 13 South Dakota counties across 274 miles before entering Iowa. Bowdle, South Dakota held a town meeting January 21 regarding the Dakota Ac-cess / Bakken Pipeline as well. The Public Utilities Commission is required to make a ruling by Dec. 15 with no decision likely for months so I would like to think that the IUB has a deadline as well. I am try-ing to find out about that and the exact width of the easements (if it’s 150 feet total across or 150 feet on each side of the pipe, and same with the permanent 50 feet easement) but Ed said “They probably won’t tell you or call you back. Good luck with them.” This takes me to my next point for the farmers in Iowa.

One of the biggest problems with the pipeline is what’s going to happen to existing farm tile in

The 1,100 mile pipeline would transport crude oil from North Dakota’s Bakken Oil Fields to Patoka, Illinois. In Patoka the crude would be shipped to multiple markets via railroad and an existing natural gas pipeline that would be converted to transport the crude to the Texas Gulf Coast. The counties in Iowa the pipeline would cross are Lyon, Sioux, O’Brien, Cherokee, Buena Vista, Calhoun, Webster, Boone, Story, Polk, Jasper, Manaska, Keokuk, Wapello, Jefferson, Van Buren, and Lee counties.


the ground. Ed is also encouraging farmers to get tile maps to help protect themselves. If the pipeline comes through and there’s no tile map, any function-ing tile you may have will cease. No map, no way for pipeline to go under it properly. And yes, I said under.

The pipeline is supposed to be put under any existing tile and with no tile map that’s not possible. Yes, it does cost money to get tile maps made if you don’t have them. Yes, it costs money to get a law-yer for protection if they present you with a contract. Are you legally obligat- ed to sign it, no. Do you want to save existing functioning tile, Yes!

Okay, so having said that, one big thing that jumped out in that news release from the American News of Aberdeen, South Dakota, was in regards to leased farmland.

Kevin Hoerner of Bowdle asked Energy Trans- fer Senior Vice President of Engineering Joey Mah-moud, “If you’re not the owner of the land and have somebody operating it, are you going to reimburse the operator or the landowner for the crops that you destroy?” Mahmoud replied back that “Landowners are always paid easements, but additional compen-sation for potential damages would depend on agree-ments between landowners and the tenants.” Mah-moud of course is promoting the potential economic benefits to South Dakota and going so far as making the public think oil transportation by rail will de-crease. One thing I pointed out earlier, regarding rail use in Iowa decreasing, nobody has said one way or the other.

Another problem with the crude oil is that it con- tains volatile organic compounds, toxic chemicals

Hair today, gone tomorrowEvery once in a while one of my e-mail friends will

send me one of those “do you remember?” items. They are often things which my children should be remember-ing. I don’t know whether to feel flattered they think I am in that generation or a bit down because I realize I am older than that! They are in the era of Howdy Doody and Buffalo Bob, Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans, Duane and Floppy and Betty Lou (WOI TV). Sometimes I did watch those programs with the kids. Betty Lou was always showing them how to make things, mostly out of paper and cardboard or Styrofoam cups and the like.

I think there are probably more readers in that gener-ation than mine but we, too have our memories of things, some of which spilled over into the next, for a little time anyway. One thing I never did for my girls was to give them curly hair styles by first “setting” it on rags. (That’s one I forgot came out of the rag bag.) Even before my time that was a way of giving the girls their long curls. After unwinding them from the rags they hung a bit in corkscrew fashion. For the long curls mothers back then knew how to fashion those curls by combing them around their fingers. Hairspray hadn’t come into use yet so gel set, sort of a gooey jelly like liquid, was applied to “hold the set”. Too much – when it dried it would turn a bit white and flake off giving the appearance of the person’s being afflicted with a bad case of dandruff. (Does anyone have dandruff anymore or are our shampoos really good now? Who remembers with me the vinegar rinse after a shampoo to be sure to get the “soap” out and then more clear water rinsing to get rid of the vinegar smell?

Who remembers the metal curlers with their flip over locks once the hair was wound around them? Can you believe we actually slept in those things? After all we didn’t even know what a hair dryer was except the big old clumsy sit under ones the beauty shop had. After the metal curlers came the varied sized plastic ones with the pick to hold them in place and then the sponge rollers which admittedly were a bit easier to sleep on but they had the “lock” on them. Does anyone else remember the old curling irons that you heated by placing down iun the glass chimney of an oil lamp? You had to wipe the bit of soot off before applying to your hair. They were used for a “touch up”. I remember my first hair dryer, a most wel-come Christmas present. You had to sit down and put a plastic hood over your head. The hood attached by a hose to the blower mechanism and it did take some time to get it dry but at least you didn’t have to sleep on curlers, just get up earlier in the morning. The first hair sprays I swear were a form of glue and like the old time gel set if you got too much would flake like dandruff. Times have changed a lot and for the better.

Today we wouldn’t like the idea of getting a salon perm by sitting under that contraption that made you feel like a Medusa. Come to think of it, it was a bit torturous but we had to get “beautiful”. I remember when Tonis and their counterparts made their debut my Mom and Aunt thinking it was so grand not to have to spend the time and money to go to the beauty shop for their perms. They gave them to one another and got pretty good at it, even doing the cutting. They did give that up later in their lives. I got a couple Tonis when I was first “alone” and wanting to save money. My daughter in law gave them to me. One time instead of letting the last stage dry she used her blow dryer on it and I walked out of her house looking as if I had stuck my finger in a light socket. To this day we sometimes remember and laugh. I did manage to get it tamed before I had to be out in public. Thank goodness the next day was Saturday.

Hair styles come and go and some we were are glad to see leave. Then some come back in a new variation. I

had a picture of my Mom as a teenager and the style was poofs on either side of their heads just above the ears, perhaps slightly over the ears. I asked her how they got it to look like that. She said at the time that style was “really in” and how it was done was the under hair was teased until it looked like a rat’s nest or some such struc-ture. The top hair was carefully smoothed over the ratting and swept toward the back where both sides were pulled together and a very large bow was attached with a small wisp of hair hanging beneath.

Occasionally when I am in the beauty shop one of the girls will be combing out and styling the hair of the lady in the adjacent chair. The hair had been set on roll-ers and the patron had sat under the drier. Now she was getting her hair done for the week and the operator was working very, very hard to get it ratted in the back so as to give volume and then after all that work a French roll was smoothed over the ratting and those wire “bobby” pins inserted so as to give it good hold and not be seen. This was to last all week. I wondered to myself, “Would she wrap it in a half a roll to toilet tissue each night before re-tiring and would it then stay all week except for a careful smoothing with her brush and another layer of spray?” Often when we get older it is hard to accept changes. Me? I wish I had that mop of coarse hair that could just be bobbed to a short trim style and stay in place.

My Grandma Downs wore her hair the same all her teen and adult life. Leaving her hair as long as it would grow, she would wash and dry it, then bending her head over, brush it and loosely twist it into sort of a pony tail but not scalp tight. Then she would stand up and let it sort of “poof” down and out winding it into a “top knot” on top which she held in place with those very old fash-ioned wide plastic hair pins. I don’t know what they were made of before plastic but she had a lot of them. You could actually buy those when I was well grown. Haven’t seen any hair pins or bobby pins for ages but then haven’t been looking for them either.

The 1920’s and 1930’s brought about “bobs”, close cut hairdos not mannish but quite female. Those were eras of finger waves. I guess a lot of that wave set goop was applied and using the fingers the person them-selves or their beauty op-erators would perform the “do”. In the forties we had a teacher who was still ear-ing that modified style and she apparently used a lot of the wave set or gel as she al-ways seemed to have some white flakes showing on her shoulders, quite noticeable when she wore dark cloth-ing. I hope it wasn’t dan-druff.

From my remembrance women put their hair up in pin curls. I, myself, did it for many years. Beauty operators used both the pin curl or curler method of setting hair “in my day”. Now we aren’t surprised to see anything, any style, shaved heads to hair than could that the person could sit on and not too surprised to see what color it is. Most grown women, however, tend to be conservative and with the trends of style, es-pecially if they are out in the public arena working. Styles in everything come and go, evidenced by pic-tures we see down through the generations. For the most part, we humans (men as well as women these days) are vain creatures and more or less adhere to gen-eral trends of styles of the day. There are always ex-tremes. They come and go so I guess it doesn’t make much sense to criticize for it too shall pass to be replaced by something possibly even more extreme.

Pipeline...Continued from page 4...that corrode the pipeline causing leaks and eventu-ally breaks. It is illegal to export crude oil so it has to be sent to the refineries first.

Going back to the pipeline running under farm tile, the natural temperature of the ground is a steady 55 degrees. It was discussed the temperature of crude oil is roughly 75 degrees. We know heat rises but once (and if) the pipeline is put in, it will affect the ground temperature causing problems for the crops and leaves a potential for diseases to harbor in the soil. It will take a minimum of three to five years for the fertile land to produce again since the fertile soil will be removed and there is no guarantee it will be put back once the pipe is installed.

I had correspondence with State Representative Rob Bacon regarding the pipeline and he said “Most are not disturbed by the pipeline and are aware of the speed of delivery and the convenience of this direct line. Car- rying oil by rail alone is not time efficient and the trains cannot keep ahead of the demand to haul fuel. Also, the pipeline is a much safer way to transport oil.”

“I am not in favor of eminent domain but I feel this issue should be resolved between the property owner and the company itself. I am also hearing that the settle- ments have been fair.”

I was surprised given all the information, the people he’s talked to seem to be okay with this. Wow. Plus I am waiting to hear back from Senator Behn with his input.

Attorney Keith Putney said there are law firms all across the state working to get this to court and stopped. Fallon said the reason he is walking is “Sym- bolically important, representing my com-mittment, sac- rifice and determination to get this pipeline stopped. Plus it is the practical way to see the land, to get in touch with the people of the land.”

There are so many more issues to cover when dealing with any pipeline, and I didn’t even get into the fracking.

Garbage services debatedin Gowrie; TCB being challengedAt Gowrie City Council meeting...By Jill Viles

More than fifty concerned citizens attended the Monday, April 20 meeting of the Gowrie City Council. The most pressing issue involved whether the city should continue with the services of TCB, a garbage collection service Gowrie has relied on for more than 60 years, or consider a bid from Carroll Refuse Service. Backers of each side of the issue gave impassioned reasons as to which provider should be utilized.

The subject originally came to the attention of the citizens of Gowrie as Stacy Blair of TCB appeared before the city council a few weeks ago and requested a raise in monthly rates from $20.00 to $23.00. Currently, that $3.00 price increase has been rescinded.

At this meeting, councilperson Gayle Redman suggested it was necessary to research competing bids before accepting such an increase. The following month, representatives from Carroll Refuse Service appeared before the city council and advised members they could provide garbage collection services at a monthly fee of $11.00 per household.

To introduce discussion, Tim and Stacy Blair were asked to address why they should be maintained as Gowrie’s garbage provider. Near tears, Stacy Blair said, “Tim’s been doing this [collecting garbage] since he was 14 years old. We’re your neighbors. You know us. Our kids go to school with your kids.”

The Blairs continued by explaining the help they provide residents above and beyond what they are paid to do. They pointed out they collect refuse at the football field and park and that they only charge $250 to pick up after one of Gowrie’s most attended events—the Fourth of July celebration.

“We cater to the older people of this commu-nity,” emphasized Tim Blair. “We help out everyone when we can.” The Blairs offer once a week pick-up for residences, and twice a week for area businesses. It was explained that residents are itemized two separate items for refuse collection--$15.50 for garbage and $4.50 for recycling.

A representative from the landfill utilized by Gowrie presented next during the meeting. It was noted that the cost to deposit refuse at the landfill has gone up considerably. Fees were traditionally assessed at a cost per cubic yard, but now tonnage is the preferred method for calculating landfill usage. It was also pointed out that rain can increase landfill fees as water-soaked refuse is weighed.

Councilperson Jeff Peterson took this as a great time to advise residents of the importance of recycling. “The more that goes in to recycling, the less we will be assessed at the landfill.”

Tyler Farnham agrees. “If you increase recy-cling to once a week, how much could this save us in terms of reduced tonnage at the landfill?”

“They are changing the way fees are calculated, and residents need to know this,” urged councilmember Gayle Redman. “What was once approximately $22 a ton is now costing approximately $35 a ton.”

Tim Blair agreed these have been tough times for TCB. “Very rarely have we come to you for a rate in-crease,” he insisted. “The last ten years have been really tough ones.”

Gowrie currently has one and a half years left on a five year contract with TCB.

“I don’t see why people are making such a fuss,” said Tommy Pritchard. “They’ve [TCB] been very de-pendable.

However, Redman disagrees. “The majority of calls to the city clerk ask why we would pay a monthly bill that is $9.00 greater than that proposed by Carroll Refuse Service.”

“Farnhamville looks great with all the uniform cans,” suggested one resident.

“I’ve heard Farnhamville was originally quoted $11.00 a month by Carroll Refuse Service, but soon it changed to $15.00 a month,” cautioned another resident.

Next, Carroll Refuse Service presented before the council. They explained they have been a long term family enterprise as well--a company started by one brother, and now continued by another brother. Currently they serve 7,000 residential customers and 1,500 com-mercial properties.

Approximately two and a half years ago, Carroll Refuse gained several lucrative contracts in Lohrville, Churdan, and Farnhamville as residents became dissatis-fied with their provider of service (not TCB).

When asked the most problematic issue they run into with customers, Lampe candidly offered the number one concern is the size of the garbage collection contain-er. The Lampe’s brought a large and a small sized trash container to serve as visual aids.

“I urge those concerned about which refuse col-lection service to go with to call friends and relatives in the towns we serve,” suggested Lampe.

Carroll Refuse Service explained a 12 cent per month increase is already built into the billing so that customers don’t experience “sticker shock” as landfill charges increase. “This way we know where we stand, and you know where we stand,” said Lampe.

There are 385 residences in Gowrie. Carroll Refuse Service estimates that their automated trucks can service 150 houses per hour, and they can complete the work in a little over two and a half hours.

Carroll Refuse Service insists they do not assess the customer a fee for a lost or damaged can. If a replace-ment is required, they will deliver this to the customer.

“But, what about the variables?” interjected Ned Palmer. “There are two variables here—diesel and land-fill.”

At this point in the meeting, Mary Carlson, resi-dent of Gowrie, and deputy city clerk of Dayton, rose to speak. She reemphasized the facts of the case—Carroll Refuse Service is offering an $11 fee for garbage collec-tion, while TCB insists on $20.00.

Carlson, armed with many calculations, present-ed what a $9 a month savings could do for customers, particularly those living on fixed incomes. “There are a lot of things a person could do with a yearly savings of $108 right here in Gowrie,” insisted Carlson. “You could use this for dining out, gas, a haircut, a skating pass, a pool pass…”

“Local businesses!” Corrine Jensen of Marv’s Market Street Grill passionately interjected. “Family! Kids! Kids that are going to our school! You have to invest in them!”

Jeff Peterson concurred with this observation. “Most of the people I’ve talked to shopping in our store tend to side with TCB because they’re local.”

Retired Gowrie barber, Darrell Mischke agreed. “You’ve got to think about what could happen to these people [if they lose Gowrie as a customer]. I can promise you, it wouldn’t be good. I want to keep this family in the community.”

However, Gayle Redman disagreed. “There comes a time when you have to draw the line. This is one family, but there are many low income people, and $9.00 makes a huge difference.”

“Yes, but we are very fortunate to live in a small town,” insisted Sue Anderson. “Of course we pay a bit more for a lot of different services, but that’s what’s re-quired to live in a place like Gowrie.”

At this time, an impromptu survey was sug-gested to gauge public opinion. Of the fifty or so people attending the meeting, only half chose to publicly assert their opinion. Ultimately, nineteen raised their hand in support of sticking with TCB, while nine preferred to go with Carroll Refuse Service or perhaps shop around a bit.

Lampe offered an additional word of caution. “If word gets out that Gowrie is not open to a competi-tive bid, other refuse collection agencies may not wish to negotiate with you. There’s no system of checks and balances if one company holds a monopoly in the area.”

It was decided at this point to table the discus-sion for now and pick up the issue at another city council meeting in the future.

an exciting season.Erica Rittgers had a night she will remember, she

won all four open events that she was in. This does not happen often.

Erica won the open 100-400-800-1500. Coach said he normally would not run her in this many events but knew she could handle it and knew he could get a lot of points with Erica running these events.

By winning these events she totaled 40 team points in those four events. The girls track team won six events and placed 2nd in five others. Coach commented on all 19 events scored some team points tonight.

body else remembered playing basketball. RJ: We had wool band uniforms. Heavy wool, and they would chafe … oh, it was torture. But to be in high school band you had to be in at least 5th grade. They had to fill out the band – maybe it was 6th grade But if you were in 6th grade and you were willing to march, you didn’t have to particularly play well, but you were in band. We had a big fund drive – we had the old uniforms and they had a big fund drive and all the stuff, mid to late 50s, and that’s when we go these heavy wool, red and white … They were sharp looking, though. Richard J: Then the big thing, you were in the band, and you went to parades, and we marched in Veishea and Bologna and even in the Dayton Labor Day parade, where were you positioned in relationship to the horses? I didn’t play in band at all. Vera and I got to wear shorts and carry the flag. JN: Chuck, what do you have? CD: Well, we didn’t really have anything down, so you guys are going to have to jump in. I got one thing down, but Al and Linda? It’s blank here otherwise. Fa-vorite memories, high school memories. I think we kind of covered it with some of the other. CD: Well, the only thing I was going to mention is, I loved Leona Kling, because she gave me a straight C all the way through. I didn’t ever do anything, I never learned anything in her classes, all 4 years in English or however many it was, I never did a thing and I got a straight C all the way through and all I wanted to do was get out of there anyway. But come a few years later, and Leona had been there a long time, because then she started having our kids in English class. So they had one of those nights where they had 5 or 10 minutes of go to classes that your kids are doing, so Linda and I went. So it’s time to go down to English class with Leona Kling. And the place is full and so we have to sit up front in the front row, and Don Swain and everybody is in there. And so Linda hit the door and then I hit the door, and Leona looked up from her desk – and she had waited a long time for this one – she said, ‘Chuck, find a seat, sit down, and shut up.’ And Don Swain about fell off his chair. I felt about that tall. And she really got me and she had a right to, because we didn’t do a thing in there except throw erasers and do whatever! Richard J: What year was it that some of us – was it 57? What year did the basketball team go to dis-trict? … That was 59. RJ: Okay, maybe the year afterward. We were so surprised that time that Dayton went to … Richard J: This is a little off-color, but Earl Blair used to run the Dayton Review. And they would have these articles and there was one – this was a true story. They were re-capping the girls’ basketball game. I can’t remember the circumstances, but this one girl, who-ever it was, made 10 out of 15 shits. JN: Okay, Linda, favorite teacher in grade school. Linda Williams B: Well, there were only two of us who were decisive enough to have a favorite teacher, and that was Susan and myself, and it was the same favor-ite teacher. Art Rosman. Susan said he was very personable, which he was, and I really liked him because he taught math and math was good. And then mainly because he picked us kids up. He lived next door practically. But he would pick us up on the way to school if it was a cold day. So that enhanced my feeling about Art Rosman. Dorothy N: Elsie Peterson. She was teacher and principal, somebody said, in grade school. Is that correct? And Mrs. Endenculper. English teacher. JN: Chuck? Chuck Danielson: Somebody wrote down En-denculper, and I can’t figure out for the life of me why anybody wrote that down. Art Rosman would probably be my pick of the litter in grade school. JN: Okay, high school. LB: Okay, I answered Mr. Lyle McCartner. Be-cause he was a great English teacher and speech teacher. Really good. He was only there freshman year. Yeah, I only had him six months. Linda Williams B: …and he really helped me out with that a lot. RJ: You may have to explain declam because we don’t use that term anymore. Speech. Linda Williams B: Rita mentioned Mrs. Mick-elson. She was a home ec teacher. She was the principal too, at that time. She taught for Mr. Mickelson, for a few years, I know. I can tell you that Kirby can still do his declam

pieces … Dorothy N: Mr. Rankin and Leona Kling. Richard J: We all told Chuck yesterday, and she was the nicest, sweetest lady, probably by anyone’s standard a pretty dog-gone mediocre instructor. But just a really gracious lady. And as Chuck pointed out – we discussed this yesterday – they thought that per-haps there was a feeling of, what, compassion from the community or the school board, because she had lost her husband, and that’s what might happen in a small town. Chuck Danielson: Yes, we had down Leona Kling too, and my reason would be different than other peoples’ probably, but Rosy Hall, too, is down. My own experience there would be I would lie to Howard Rankin and not think a thing about it – if he said ‘what did you do today? Did you do this?’ ‘No, I didn’t do that.’ But I never wanted to go to Rosy Hall’s office. I never, because I never lied to Rosy Hall. You never lied to her. She was probably the best teacher the whole time there, as far as I was concerned. I hated her at the time, but boy, she … Richard J: Well, you were fearful of this lady. But when you got done, you were really grateful because you know you had been taught some-thing. Chuck Danielson: And I give thanks to, like Lions Club, Art and Myr-tle Roskins used to come to Lions club and we had 50, 60, 70, 80 people at a Christmas party. And I re-member one party we had down at Peyton Place, and we always went to Peyton Place for that. And they were just the nicest people. I remember Myr-tle went out and went to the restroom. And she came back in and it was real quiet, and somebody said, ‘could you hear us when you were in there, Myrtle?’ Myrtle said, ‘no’, and they said, ‘well, we could sure hear you!’ And I tell you, you could have bought Myrtle for a dime. That was an awful dirty trick to pull on nice Myrtle Ruskin. She was a won-derful lady.

Our Hope“It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for

the salvation of the Lord.” Lamentations 3:26I have just one thing to say to you - never give up

hope? Never give up hope for your children. Never give up hope for yourself. Never give up hope for this broken, bruised and bungling world.

Keep hope in your heart, regardless of what comes your way. Hope is amazing. It can grow and thrive even in the bleakest of circumstances. A prisoner of war suf-fers abuse at the hands of his captors, but they cannot rob him of his hope that one day he will be free again.

God created us with the magical power to imagine what will happen to us in the future, but He gave us no power to control the future.

Hope energizes us while fear paralyzes us. Hope empowers us while fear weakens us. Every good thing that any man or woman has every accomplished began with the power of hope.

No writer ever put words on paper without first ex-periencing the hope of writing something outstanding. Also, no artist ever put his brush to canvas without hop-ing he would leave something beautiful to look at when finished.

We all have experienced our high hopes for some-thing in our lives that ended crashing on the painful rocks of reality. In the 33rd chapter of the Book of Psalms, the 18th verse tells us that true hope lies in the Lord’s steadfast love.

When God gets into our hope, hope becomes a faith that good things are not only possible, but that good things are promised to us. It is the hope in our lives that keeps us moving forward, expecting a better day ahead.

When God is involved in hope, we can have hope for a world where little children can play on city streets at night without being afraid; we have hope for a world where no parents ever have to watch their baby starve; hope for a world where no adult ever abuses a child; hope for a world where all God’s children, of all races, join hands and praise our Maker.

Hope is God’s gift to us. As you go through life, thank Him for it by placing your hope in Him. No mat-ter how hopeless things seem here on earth, in Christ we have ultimate, eternal hope. People who don’t know Christ have nothing but their own hopelessness to cling to.

Annabelle L. Bedford, 97Annabelle L. Bedford 97, of San Antonio, Texas, for-

merly of Harcourt passed away Wednesday, April 8, 2015 at Legend Oaks Healthcare and Rehabilitation - Sonterra in San Antonio. Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m. Sat-urday, May 2, 2015 at Faith Lutheran Church, Harcourt. Burial will be at Gowrie Township Cemetery, Gowrie. Visitation will be 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, May 1, at the Palmer Funeral Home, Gowrie.

Annabelle Lee Adams was born on the family farm north of Liberal, Missouri on March 29, 1918 to Frank Eli and Ellen May (Wilson) Adams. The youngest of four children, she was named after the poem by Edgar Allan Poe though Poeʼs poem was titled, ʻAnnabel Leeʼ. Her brother and sisters called her Annie. When Annabelle was 2 or 3 years old, the family moved to the Lake City area and soon afterward to the Lohrville area where her father farmed and her mother kept the home. They first lived northeast of Lohrville and later southeast of town. An-nie graduated from Lohrville High School in 1936 and soon met G. Royal Bedford of Gowrie. Annie and Royal were married in Louisville, Nebraska on May 15, 1937, with her sister, Pauline and her husband Don serving as sponsors. Four children were born to this union, Dennis Royal, Wesley Gene, Gwendolyn Ann and Duane Alan. For part of their early married life, they lived in Fort Dodge and later on a farm near Callender. In the spring of

1951, Royal and Ann moved from her fatherʼs farmstead just east of Farnhamville to their new home in Harcourt. There she raised the children and a bountiful garden while Royal continued working for the Illinois Central Railroad. Royal passed away October 22, 1984 and Ann continued to live in the home. In May of 2007, Ann sold the home and moved to San Antonio to live with her daughter, Gwen McCarville. Two grandsons, Curt Bed-ford and Dave McCarville and their families also reside there. Each anniversary of her birthday, March 29th, fam-ily and friends would gather in San Antonio to celebrate with Mom Grandma Grams.

Grandma was always kind, gentle and giving, be-stowing much love and care on her children, grandchil-dren and great grandchildren. There was always a sweet smile on her face and a willingness to share whatever she had. There was nary a harsh word except perhaps for rab-bits in the garden or a squirrel in the birdfeeder or creep-ing charlie in the lawn. Quantities of baked goods, espe-cially scrumptious breads and rolls, came from her oven and jar after jar of canned fruits and vegetables lined the shelves. Much of the baked goodies and canned goods went home with visiting family and friends. The garden was a special spot where she diligently tended her flow-ers, strawberries and vegetables.

Annabelle leaves to mourn her passing her three sons, Dennis of Mount Union, Iowa, Gene of Apopka, Florida and Duane (Cindy) of Russell, Iowa and ten beloved grandchildren Wayne (Angie) Bedford, Curt (Kelly) Bed-ford, Ron (Stacy) Bedford, Julie (Jim) Kelly, Tanya Bed-ford, Joyce (James) Clark, Dave (Jennifer) McCarville, Zach Bedford, Ashley Bedford and Matt Bedford along with thirteen beloved great grandchildren Rachel, Molly, Tate, Abby, Hagen, Sydney, Hannah, Alyssa, Nick, Al-exa, Hadlee, Finn and Aislin Annabelle and one great great granddaughter, Penelope.

In heaven she again holds hands with Royal, greets her mother Ellen and father Frank, her brother Clifton and sisters Florence and Pauline and wraps her arms around her dear recently departed daughter, Gwen, and daughter-in-law, LuAnn.

1951, Royal and Ann moved from her fatherʼs farmstead just east of Farnhamville to their new home in Harcourt. There she raised the children and a bountiful garden while Royal continued working for the Illinois Central Railroad. Royal passed away October 22, 1984 and Ann continued to live in the home. In May of 2007, Ann sold the home and moved to San Antonio to live with her daughter, Gwen McCarville. Two grandsons, Curt Bed-ford and Dave McCarville and their families also reside there. Each anniversary of her birthday, March 29th, fam-ily and friends would gather in San Antonio to celebrate with Mom Grandma Grams.

Grandma was always kind, gentle and giving, be-stowing much love and care on her children, grandchil-dren and great grandchildren. There was always a sweet smile on her face and a willingness to share whatever she had. There was nary a harsh word except perhaps for rab-bits in the garden or a squirrel in the birdfeeder or creep-ing charlie in the lawn. Quantities of baked goods, espe-cially scrumptious breads and rolls, came from her oven and jar after jar of canned fruits and vegetables lined the shelves. Much of the baked goodies and canned goods went home with visiting family and friends. The garden was a special spot where she diligently tended her flow-ers, strawberries and vegetables.

Annabelle leaves to mourn her passing her three sons, Dennis of Mount Union, Iowa, Gene of Apopka, Florida and Duane (Cindy) of Russell, Iowa and ten beloved grandchildren Wayne (Angie) Bedford, Curt (Kelly) Bed-ford, Ron (Stacy) Bedford, Julie (Jim) Kelly, Tanya Bed-ford, Joyce (James) Clark, Dave (Jennifer) McCarville, Zach Bedford, Ashley Bedford and Matt Bedford along with thirteen beloved great grandchildren Rachel, Molly, Tate, Abby, Hagen, Sydney, Hannah, Alyssa, Nick, Al-exa, Hadlee, Finn and Aislin Annabelle and one great great granddaughter, Penelope.

In heaven she again holds hands with Royal, greets her mother Ellen and father Frank, her brother Clifton and sisters Florence and Pauline and wraps her arms around her dear recently departed daughter, Gwen, and daughter-in-law, LuAnn.

The girls track team got to run during another beautiful night at Manson.

All eight teams from our conference were at the meet and each coach had a dif-ferent strategy.

The meet was a Varsity and JV meet, Southeast Valley’s approach was to let a lot of the team run as JV and the young girls had a successful night running against girls more their speed.

The Varsity stacked a few relays to see where they compare to the other teams be-fore the conference track meet. The Dis-tance Med and 4x400 kept the winning streak alive by winning both races again.

This group of four has not lost in the Distance Med and 4x400 this year. Coach said that he is happy with this but knows the team can get their times even better. We just have to keep working in practice.
