By Tyler Anderson Just like the Southeast Webster-Grand school dis-trict, 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 suf-ficient, 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 landown-ers on them. When you start talking tax rate with land-owners, 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 fo-cus 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 Webster-Grand, Burnside, did do that, so theres a little pressure on us to also have air conditioning. Prairie Valley is currently looking to install air con-ditioning 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 disagree-ment expressed from Callender and Farnhamville resi-dents who came to the meetings, Irwin said. Irwin and the school board understood on why both cities had griev-ances 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-

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 lo-cal businesses that help make the whole Gowrie Indepen-dence Day Celebration a great success! Youll see fire-men 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 award-ed 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 mem-bers 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

Jeremy and Elissa Mobley join Johnson & Sons teamBy 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 re-quired 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 Su-pervisor 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 gen-eral, Klever said. The Gowrie Team is located at 1001 Evans St. They can be contacted at [email protected].

King Concert highlights Fathers Day

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 start-ing 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 re-minded 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 presenta-tion. The concert will begin with Henry Fillmores clas-sic 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 favor-ite, Leroy Andersons Buglers Holiday. Members of the Trumpet Trio who will perform this with the Band in-clude 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 stan-dard, Im Gettin Sentimental Over You, along with high-lights 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 Star-Spangled Banner.

In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be cancelled. Plan now to spend each Sunday evening during June and July with the King Band in beautiful Oleson Park, located in the southern part of the city of Fort Dodge.

June 17, 2015 5THE GOWRIE NEWSTHE GOWRIE NEWS Down Memory LaneB Y S A R A D O W N S

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 re-mind 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 Sun-day School, Confirmation classes, summer Bible School, various activities. He would take me to the MYF meet-ings 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, some-times 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 what-ever 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 Sun-day 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 re-verted 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.

I remember dad...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 shenani-gans. 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 experi-ence 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!

Jaguars finish strong week with Madrid Tourney championshipBy Tyler Anderson Southeast Valley 7, West Bend-Mallard 3: The Jaguars started off the week right with a another conference win over West Bend-Mallard Monday at Jaguar Field in Dayton. Junior Andrew Dorage was stellar once more on the mound, striking out 13 Wolverine batters and allowed only three hits. Dorage was also great at the plate, going 2-3 with two RBIs. Senior Koltan Lundberg also hit a dou-ble and drove in two runs. Sophomore Myles Davis channeled his inner Ricky Henderson, stealing four bases in the victory.WBM 100 020 0 3 4 5SV 200 500 0 7 2 3 Southeast Valley 7, Iowa Falls-Alden 3: On Tuesday, the Jaguar bats were not hampered by the long trip, defeating Iowa Falls-Alden 7-3 in Iowa Falls. Junior Cameron Anderson overcame a summer cold, taking home the win. Sophomores Myles Davis and Dakota Jaeschke combined the two brought in five runners while going 5-7 while both recorded a double, while also stealing 6 bases combined. Junior Cade King aided the victory, go-ing 2-2 and drove in three runs, and junior Spencer John-son had one big hit which scored two runs.

day, the Jaguars saw their three game winning streak 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.

Three young men from Southeast Valley High School are attending Hawkeye Boys State this week at Camp Dodge Army National Guard Base in Johnston.

The three boys from Southeast Valley High School who are participating this week are Josh Carlson, son of Jim and Jennifer Carlson of Gowrie; Josh Johnson, son of Dave and Jolene Johnson of Gowrie; and Logan Boerner, son of Jeff and Marcie Boerner of Gowrie.

Boys State is a week-long, hands-on learning experi-ence for boys who have completed their junior year of high school. Throughout the week, boys stay in barracks at the base and learn about government and elections.

During the week boys become Boys State citizens and run for various Boys State city, county, and state of-fices that mirror the offices that exist in the real world. The boys are given a specific amount of fake Boys State

money to spend on cam-paign materials such as stickers and posters.

The boys learn to manage the offices they are elected to. Those elected to the Boys State legislative bodies such as Senate and House of Representatives create and pass legislation.

Those who lose cam-paigns apply for city, state, and county jobs or are

appointed to positions by elected officials. They too learn to execute the responsibilities of their various jobs.

Other available actives at Boys State include par-ticipation in a band or orchestra, volleyball, softball, or football. The week also incorporates a field trip to the state capital building and guest speakers such as the past National Commander of the American Legion, David Rehbein.

Boys can also choose to participate in the Boys State Patrol where they learn about the duties of law enforce-ment. These are the only boys not required to run for an elected office.

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 ap-preciated. 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 Web-ster-Grand superintendent Rich Stoffers and Prairie Val-ley 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 com-ing 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 lat-est 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 sug-gestion 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 commu-nities take part in the Church League no matter what denomination these churches are.Tyler can be reached at [email protected].

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 mov-ing all of their games to Dayton. The Prairie Valley softball team played their 2014 season in Farnhamville, winning the Twin Lakes Confer-ence 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, accord-ing to Irwin, those fields are open for community leagues and events.
