The theme of the District 2 FCCLA(Family, Career, and Community Leaders ofAmerica) Meeting on December 2, 2014, wasTogether As One! This was the rst meetingas a newly reorganized district. The Iowa FC-CLA Board of Directors voted in June to reor-ganize the Iowa FCCLA districts, which madethe Southeast Valley chapter fall into one of the

largest districts in the state.This was a great reorganization as the

members got to meet many new people fromanother district. Chapters attending the meet-ing along with Southeast Valley, were FortDodge, Eagle Grove, Greene County, MansonNorthwest Webster, Sioux Central, NorthwoodKensett, Lake Mills, and Garner Hayeld Ven-tura.

The meeting started with Hannah Peter-son, Southeast Valley, current District President,calling the meeting to order. The ag ceremonywas conducted by the Garner Hayeld Venturachapter and the FCCLA emblem ceremony wasdone by the Lake Mills chapter. Sioux Centralgot everyone up and moving with a meet andgreet mixer. Members had an opportunity to at-tend one of three sessions.

The sessions were done by OfcerWebb of the Fort Dodge Police Department ontexting and driving, Annette Brown of the ISUExtension service presented on teambuilding,and Chef Michael from ICCC gave a tour of theculinary arts department.

When the sessions were concluded ev-eryone enjoyed a catered lunch from Hy-Vee inFort Dodge. After lunch the business meeting

was held with the secretarys report and trea-

surers report. Members also heard about thestate and national meetings that have been heldso far this year. MNWW reported on the Na-tional Leadership meeting last summer in San

Antonio, Lake Mills reported on the Fall Rallywhich was held at Iowa State this past October,and Southeast Valley gave a report on the clus-ter meeting which was in Little Rock, Arkan-sas. Hannah Peterson gave a presentation onthe Ronald McDonald House of Central Iowa.

This was a service project done by thedistrict in which all the chapters gathered do-

nations to give to the house which is in DesMoines attached to Blank Childrens Hospital.Many items were donated which basically lledthe trunk of a car.

One of the highlights of the meeting wasthe election of new district ofcers. SoutheastValleys candidate was Erica Nordin. Erica waselected as the new District 2 President. Con-gratulations, Erica. Other ofcers are NicoleRaner, Sioux Central, First Vice President;

Early on in this memory series I wrote

of the Boxholm Town Band that I played in as

a youngster. We played in the old band shell

that stood on the site where Jack Condon even-

tually built his new meat market building and

apartment. This was an every Wednesday night

occurrence during the summer months and with

Wednesday also being a shopping night in the

town, had good attendance. In fact some came

specically to hear the band.

This left the other shopping night, Sat-

urday, without anything going on except the la-

dies grocery shopping, mens loang and talk-

ing, and the usual bachelor guys in that back

booth at Westeens enjoying their brown bottle

refreshments. Oh, yes, Axel Westeen had his

popcorn machine operating on Saturdays too

during the summer months.It wasnt every Saturday night, but once

or twice a month, and usually at dusk or even

after dark, a carload or two of Salvation Army

people came to town. There was a small group

playing brass instruments, trumpets, baritone

horns, maybe a trombone and sometimes a bass

drum. There were bonneted, ladies with their

tambourines, one or two of which may stay with

the band keeping rhythm (somewhat) while

others turned their tambourines up, making

their way up and down Main Street and into

businesses soliciting a few coins and perhaps

bills from patrons and loafers. We kids wouldgather near the corner the band had chosen and

listened, perhaps even clapping along. Those

musicians played well, had close harmony and

offered some old familiar hymns. Pretty good

for free entertainment, except for the pittances

they collected in the tambourines. The Salva-

tion Army band members were hardier souls

than our town band people in that they came

earlier in the spring and late into the fall, some -

times coming during colder times if the weather

was reasonably cooperative.

I think the Salvation Army still has their

bands although I havent seen any around inyears. They probably dont make their treks

around to small towns or even large ones any-

more, playing their brassy hymns and shaking

their tambourines. But this time of year we see

the red kettles out at many businesses. I have

noted this year the kettles are out but sometimes

just hanging, padlocked to their pedestals and no

bell ringers are in sight. It seems that in recent

years they have had problems in getting volun-

teers or even those receiving a small salary.

On a nice day it can be a pleasant job but no-

ticing that none of the business establishments

allow them inside, even in their vestibules, ona cold, wintry day it is not the most pleasant

task. Apparently they dont let this great chari-

table organization come inside as they cannot

play favorites, especially to a religious or-

ganization. The thing is this organization does

not make people qualify for assistance based on

their church or ethnic or other afliation.

They put on their blinders to those things. I try

not to pass a kettle, manned or not, however,

there have been news reports already of thefts

of the kettles, stand and all. Now that takes

nerve! And, I fear the culprits are not the needy

ones.

I reminisce about those old Saturday

night bands and wouldnt it be great if there

could be such a group or groups allowed to play

Christmas music near their kettles?. I think

crowds would gather and more money would

probably be collected. But, we have rules, reg-

ulations, laws, and even prejudices and cant

The little brass band and Tambourines...

play favorites though this organization, prob-

ably more than any other, helping more people

in every walk of life with some kind of need

year in and year out.

Does anyone else remember those

Saturday night concerts and shaking tam-

bourines? This is the time of year when we

all seem to nd those childhood and long ago

memories creeping back into our minds. They

are pleasant memories and sometimes make

us wish our youngsters could experience that

small town caring we had. So, I hope when

you see a kettle hanging on its pedestal, with or

without an accompanying bell ringer, perhaps

you will nd that dollar bill or loose coins in

your pocket. I dont think at Christmastime I

could be comfortable as a taker if I hadnt

been a giver. That person pushing the cartahead of you in Fareway, Hy-Vee, Walmart or

Sears could be able to push the cart because

they had help for the holidays. It is a time for

goodwill to all mankind.

Happy seasonal memories as we pre-

pare for the holidays.

y Cassidy Riley A copious amount of emphasis is placed

on traditional education in in the United States.Children are often taught to believe without abachelors degreeand certainly without a highschool diplomatheir lives will inherently beless fullling.

However, Pete Jorgensen, 71, is a livingtestimony that for some, experiences and edu-cation outside of school can lead to a satisfyinglife. The former Gowrie Fire DepartmentChief abandoned his high school studies oneyear before he was supposed to graduate.Jorgensen said school was hard for him be-cause it did not cater to his learning style. Inhigh school he spent a lot of time working onhis friends stock car for races and he said thehands-on learning element appealed to him.

[I left school] because it was boring,he said. I wasnt learning anything and I waswasting my time being there. Jorgensen was raised in Farnhamville.After he left school he worked as a repair manfor two brothers in town who owned a truckingcompany. About three years later he decided tooin the United States Navy in 1962which he

did because it was something different. During his three years of service he

traveled several places including Japan, Hong

Kong, Taiwan and Hawaii while he was a boilertender on the USS Hollister Navy Destroyer.

He said he most enjoyed visiting Japan becauseof the cultural differencesincluding a laidback attitude about life.

It was a whole different lifestyle, hesaid.

His military career was short livedat only three years. In May of 1965 he cameback to the area and married his wife SherrillJorgensen, who hed known for a few years be-fore he joined the military.

I think we basically knew [we were go-ing to get married] before I went into the ser-vice, he said.

He said his marriage is the most impor-tant and constant driving force in his life. Heand his wife have been married for 48 years.Unable to have children, the couple chose toadopt their one and only daughter, Tera Picard,in 1973 Raising a kid is good, he said. Itsfun. What isnt fun about?

For 15 years after his time in the mili-tary Pete Jorgensen returned to his original pas-sion for auto body work. He worked in shopsin Gowrie, Jefferson, Fort Dodge, and he eventraveled to Omaha for a short period after hewas married.

He later left auto body work for heat-

ing, cooling, electrical, and plumbing work atWendel Electric, formerly in Gowrie, until hestarted his own business in 1990. His father wasa plumber for more than 25 years and he learned

a lot from him. The rest he learned on the job.Pete Jorgensen said he liked the range of jobs hewas able to do. You got to do a variety of things, some-thing different every day, he said. Alongside his professional career, PeteJorgensen also maintained a 34-year volunteercareer with the Gowrie Fire Department. Hejoined the department in 1973 and after onlyfour years he was elected Chief.

Somebody has to do it, he said. Ifsomebody doesnt come in and do the commu-nity service then nothing gets done. I think ev-erybody should volunteer for something. Pete Jorgensen said part of what got himelected Chief was his vision for what the jobshould be. He reinvented the position so thathe was not actively ghting res when theyaroserather serving as the director of whathappened on the scene. He said this was espe-cially important when the department came tothe aid of other departments ghting a particu-larly large re.

there were no leaders and it turned into a freefor all so I kind of made it that way where thechief is supposed to be running the show andnot be in the show, he said.

While serving on the department,Jorgensen said the most dramatic incident heever dealt with was the explosion at the Con-

solidated Cooperatives grain terminal east ofGowrie in 1994 where a woman working insidethe elevator died as a result of the explosion. The explosion happened at 1 a.m. andbecause of the darkness they couldnt see if thebuilding structurally sound so they cleared ahalf mile perimeter and prevented anyone frombreaching it until daylight. He said in intensesituations such as this one, he was proud of histeams commitment to safetywhich he said isa testament to their training. As far as I know, we have had no majorinjuries or loss of anybody in the entire 34 yearsI was on the department, he said.

While he was chief, all but two of the

men on the department were at reghter onecertication, which involves about 200 hoursof training, according to reghtertraining.uswebsite. At least 10 of them were at the re-ghter two certication. And each year the menalso have to update their training for about threehours. He said one of the most important thingsthe men learn is to work together and anticipateeach others moves.

You cannot ght a re individually, hesaid. It has to be done as a team and training is

what teaches the teamwork. Along with his job as Chief, he alsoserved as the President of the Webster CountyFireghters for 15 years, where he was primar-ily responsible for presiding over the monthlymeeting.

He said he enjoyed meeting people onother departments and helping them with anyproblems that arose. Overall, he said he enjoyedhis time on the department because of the adren-alin and the people he rubbed shoulders withover the years.

Now in his retirement, he said his lifehas been very gratifying, and through all he ac-complishedincluding his time with the re
