IT PAYS TO
ADVERTISE!
By Jill Viles
Each Sunday, Pastors David and Annette Kruse use
their talent to fill their respective congregations with
peaceful sounds of praise, but its the blending that occurs
in the homethe sharing of lives of two Midwesterners,
and an exchange student from Bangladesh, that truly fills
the heart with awe.
David and Annette Kruse are ministers and
reside in Gowrie. Pastor Annette is the minister at the
United Methodist Church in Gowrie and David is retired,
while doing sometime substitute ministry.
For Mueeze al Mushabbir this love of music is a
work in progress. Mueeze al Mushabbir had never heard
classical music before traveling to the U.S. He knew of
its existence, of course, but his life experience had never
led him to actually take in the vibrations of a symphony.
Its this love of new experiences, new ideas, and an interactive dialogue that has led the Kruse family to find peace
with one another, and interact free of dissonance during
their time together.
The love of music is deeply rooted in Pastor David
Kruses family tree. His father studied under a woman
from Italy who had heard his voice and immediately realized she wanted him for a pupil. This was the depression
era; however, and times were tough, but she offered voice
lessons at no charge because she was so inspired by his
talent.
Though his father owned and worked in a grain elevator, his true love involved his participation in a traveling gospel quartet. Each weekend David Kruse recalls
his father setting out for life on the road, and then returning late each Sunday to start a new week. His young
family respected his love of music, but their time together
was as fleeting as ships passing in the night. It was when
his youngest child, a toddler, shrieked when he reached to
pick him up that his wife finally said, Thats it! and his
days as a traveling musician came to an end.
The familys love of music didnt die but, it was simply modified into a new format. Instead of weekend gigs
with the gospel quartet, David Kruses family traveled
50 miles to spend time with David Kruses grandparents.
As the television was snapped off, and four part harmo-
Pastors David and Annette Kruse are shown at a wedding of one of their children, with members of the family and
extended family.

A Special Meeting of the Gowrie City Council was held March 14, 2015
at 10:00am at the Gowrie Civic/Community Center with Mayor Stokesbary
in the chair. Council members answering roll call were: Redman, Jackson
Petersen and Willardson. Absent was Harrison
Public Hearing
10:00am
Kevin Black, City Treasurer had questions on reading the form as
it joins utility and other city budget sections making it difficult to read.
The City Clerk was not available due to illness and so some questions
remained un resolved. Motion to approve the budget by Redman, second
by Jackson. Roll Call: Ayes - Petersen, Willardson, Jackson, Redman.
Nays -none.
A discussion on how Mulligans would be operated beginning April 1
was held. An individual was offered the opportunity to present his plan
to lease the facility but he failed to appear. In order to reduce cost it
was determined that beverages and snacks would be sold only except
when leagues or special events are scheduled. Catering would be utilized
whenever possible. A question arose as to whether we could schedule
events such as couples night where the could cook their own steaks as
had been done int the past. Our insurance carrier will be contacted to
determine if that was possible. Motion by Redman, second by Willardson
to only selling beverages and snacks and utilizing one employee except on
special events beginning April 1, 2015. All council voted in favor.
Clean up days was discussed. The mayor misstated the suggested
date from the Clerk as April 4th-8th which seemed way too early. The
actual recommendation was May 4th-8th. This year we will have to pay
$35 a ton for all materials taken to the landfill. Based on previous years
that might reach 20 tons resulting in a cost of $700. Rental of a garbage
truck would be and additional $300. The week of April 27th was selected.
Motion to set clean up days for that week and allow funds for truck rental
and material disposal was made by Petersen, second Jackson. All council
members voted in favor.
Council member Redman brought up the many errors and deficiencies
occurring in the Clerks office. Training and changes in procedure need
to done and a meeting between the Mayor, Mayor Pro-tem and Council
member Redman was suggested and the date would be arranged on
Monday March 16, 2015.
Redman moved to adjourn, second by Willardson, all in favor.

of 6-4 and an overall record of 13-10.
Conner Conrad, a Junior was on the First Team while
Dakota Jaeschke, a Sophomore, was on the Second Team
tice.
In other news, it was suggested by councilperson Redman that the council should vote on all wage increases for city workers. It was approved that lawn mowers and bartenders be paid $8.00 and managers receive
$10.00 per hour.
A radio budget to promote the citys golf course
was also discussed. A current budget of $2800 is proposed for commercials airing through May. This includes
$800 to serve residents in Jefferson. It was suggested that
the golf course form a membership committee.
The Housing Rehabilitation Grant is complete.
Eight homes in the area were improved with these funds.
It was noted many consider the program successful, and
Gowrie would like to participate again in the future.
Finally, it appears the implementation of traffic
cameras is scratched for now. The new Caseys is projected to open April 21st.
