Superintendent Lois Irwin suggested that the
school board can properly address the issue at Julys
meeting.
New mower, new boiler
The school board approved the motion to
purchase a new John Deere mower for $17,500 from
Harcourt Equipment. There were discussions of selling
the mower outright as well as the methods to advertise
the mower, but Joe Harrison suggested that the city of
Gowrie could be interested in the mower.
While there were no solid bids on air conditioning for the elementary school, the board approved MidStates Plumbing to replace the air conditioning units.
The school board approved the motion to replace the boiler through McGuiness of Des Moines. The
boiler bid was $17, 150 and beat out another bid from
Hildreth of Norwalk.
Stage certain bid
There is currently one bid for the stage certain at
the high school. Currently, the bid is for the main stage
certain, which has shown obvious signs of wear and tear.
Also in the bid is two speakers.

Delivering compassionate patient care and great clinical skills are the qualities that recently earned two Stewart Memorial Community Hospital (SMCH) nurses the
DAISY Award. The award, which was established in 1999
and stands for Diseases Attacking the Immune System, is
in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Barnes died at age 33 of
complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
or ITP. During his lengthy hospital stay, his family was
awestruck by the care and compassion Patrick received
from his nurses. The DAISY award was established to
say thank you to nurses across the nation by honoring the
work they do at the bedside, funding research, and honoring nursing faculty.
Ten nurses from Stewart Memorial Community
Hospital in Lake City and McCrary Rost Clinics were
nominated for the award and the award went to Windy
Goodwin, RN, and Amy Schumacher, RN. Goodwin has
worked in Homecare/Hospice since 2012. She was nominated by a patients family member for many reasons, stating, In mid 2012 we all decided it was time to put Mom
on hospice care. Windy treated my mom just like it was
her own. She treated the whole family with such great respect, it was so comforting knowing that there are such
great people out there in the world still. A nurse at McCrary Rost Clinic since 2010, Schumacher was nominated
by a co-worker who had observed, I have witnessed her
so many times comforting patients that are dealing with
the death of a loved one, young or old! She always knows
what to say at the right time and she knows when not to
say anything. Recently, I heard her have a 15-20 minute
conversation with a patient who lost her young son who
had major health problems his entire life. Amy was comforting the mother with the kindest, most understanding
words. And when Amy said, I know, the mother knew
- Amy did know. Other nominees include Quality/Infection Prevention nurse Kiana Lamphier, RN, transition
coaches Brooke Minnehan, RN and Zacharina Winker,
RN, inpatient nurses Kathy Holm, RN, Renee Bronzynski, RN, Jenni Macke, RN, and Carmen Ludwig, LPN and
clinic nurse/business office Joann Wiederin, RN.
Cindy Carstens is the Vice President of Nursing
and Ancillary Services at SMCH and says nurses, like
the ones nominated at SMCH, are surprised when they
receive the DAISY Award. Most nurses do not believe
they are doing anything special and they are just doing
their job. Thats why at every DAISY Award presentation, we ask each nurse to pause for a minute and realize
how very special they are and how they make the world
a better place by just doing their jobs, noted Carstens.
Today, a nurses job may entail saving a patients life, applying training and skill to a complex medical procedure,
or offering comfort to a patient or family member to make
them feel better. Every day, nurses are making a positive
difference in a patients and familys life. Nurses make the
world a better place and they are special because they are
a nurse, added Carstens.
Nurses are nominated by patients, families, colleagues, physicians, or other staff. The criteria focuses on
the compassionate care and memorable moments nurses
provide their patients as well as great clinical skill. As of
April 2015 over 1,900 healthcare organizations worldwide honor their nurses with The DAISY Award.

Hospital at www.stewartmemorial.org or learn more about

The U.S. Department of Labor awarded Iowa
Workforce Development more than $5.2 million dollars
to provide long-term unemployed workers with opportunities to transition to high demand jobs in healthcare,
manufacturing, and other fields.
To achieve this goal, Iowa Workforce Development will strengthen regional partnerships with business
stakeholders including major healthcare and manufacturing employers, professional associations, key state agencies, institutes of higher education.
In order to compete in todays workforce, strategies need to be innovative and meet the workers where
they are, said Beth Townsend, Iowa Workforce Development Director. This grant provides us with the opportunity to expand the available services to those affected
by long-term unemployment.
Iowa Central is pleased to partner with Iowa
Workforce Development on this National Emergency
Grant and looks forward to helping the region, its employers and most importantly its workers respond to the
impact of the avian flu and other long-term unemployed
Iowans, said Dr. Dan Kinney, President of Iowa Central
Community College.
The grant funds will connect workers who lost
a job through no fault of their own and individuals struggling with long-term unemployment to a broad range of
services, including on-the-job training; pre-apprenticeships and Registered Apprenticeships. Additionally, job
search assistance; and career-planning and job coaching
will be available.
The grant initiative also complements the goals
to build a more integrated and comprehensive workforce
development system envisioned by the federal Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act in 2014.

POWER
THE
OF NATURAL GAS SAFETY
Whether your home uses natural gas or not, you may have buried natural gas pipelines
under your property. Transporting natural gas through pipelines is a safe and reliable means
of delivery to customers. MidAmerican Energy Company regularly tests our pipeline system
to ensure the safety and reliability of our facilities. While we work diligently to monitor and
maintain our delivery system, we rely on you to follow all natural gas safety rules and report
any suspicion of leaks. Because of the importance of natural gas to our economy and
everyday life, we all have a stake in the safety of the natural gas pipelines.
Signs of a natural gas leak:
A hissing or whooshing sound
Dirt being blown into the air
Water bubbling or shooting into the air
from a pond, creek or puddle
A peculiar odor or dying shrubs or grass,
perhaps near healthy plantings
If you observe any of these signs:
Extinguish smoking materials and other
small flames
Do not attempt to extinguish a burning
gas leak
Turn off and abandon equipment;
do not attempt to move any machinery
Eliminate other sources of ignition
(e.g., a nearby car with the engine
running, cellphones)
Leave the immediate area
From a safe distance, call MidAmerican
Energy at 800-595-5325 and/or call 911.
(MidAmerican Energy will investigate the
gas leak at no charge to the caller.)
Do not re-enter the area until you
have been advised that its safe.
CALL BEFORE
YOU DIG!
Prevention measures:
Regular inspections and maintenance of
your gas appliances
Keep the area around gas appliances
and gas piping free from obstructions and
combustible materials
Provide access to the meter and
equipment when necessary
Never store flammable liquids in your
home or near fuel-burning appliances
Have gas appliance connectors checked
for defects by a qualified plumbing and
heating dealer

Not only would I like to go home again, I would
-like to go back to the beginning before. I am talking about
sthe area that became Grant Township with the settlement,
-later incorporated as a town, Boxholm, Iowa. We know
-it was one of the last areas in Iowa to be settled by foreigners. It was a part of the Louisiana Territory and like
-all of our country, had once been the territory of Indian
etribes. According to some research, in 1847, before the
-Civil War, the first settler in the township was a person
-named M. White (not Swedish?) from Indiana who took
da claim in what became section 15. That appears to be the
area of what became the little town of Boxholm. In that
asame year a Solomon Tomlinson (now theres a Scandiynavian name) came from Ohio and staked his claim in
-what would be section 10, slightly north of Whites, if I
ehave read a map correctly. Eventually in 1875, well after

care of children.
Growing up Lavon helped take care of her siblings and worked in the garden while her mother was at
work. After graduating from the eighth grade she took
took care of her 10 children.
Lavon was raised in Eagle Grove, Iowa on a
farm where her father worked and went to a one-room
country school house.
During the winter Lavon remembers combining
recesses to go sledding by the school house. A typical day
at home consisted of canning, housework, and babysitting her siblings.
I had to do a lot of house work. Washing clothes
and all that good stuff, said Lavon. I wasnt very old. I
took care of the kids when mom was working, gardening,
canning and I did a lot of babysitting.
After graduating from the eighth grade in
1946 Livon had a job at a nursing home in Eagle Grove
where she helped take care of patients and cleaned.
My folks didnt have the money to go to high
school so I just started working. Dad said you gotta
work, said Lavon.
Later Lavons father took her to Somers, Iowa
to look for more work. Lavon found a baby sitting job
and also did house work for three other homes during the
summer.
While babysitting Lavon met her husband, Jim
Lombard, at the local grocery store.
I was out walking and happened to see him in
the grocery store and about walked into the light pole
looking at him, said Lavon.
November 3, 1948 Lavon married Jim. A year
later in 1949 they had their first child and continued to
have 10 children total.
Jim was usually gone at work, so Lavon stayed
home and took care of the children.
It was kind of hard at times because he (Jim)B
was always gone, said Lavon.
From 1972-1997 Lavon worked at the
Grandview Health Care Center in Dayton doing house-a
keeping, helping patients, kitchen work and laundry.
Now Lavon lives in the Grandview apartments with heri
husband. She reads, goes to coffee with her friends and
l
walks.
I have to have a walker now. I got mine hereW
because I was in the hospital several times last year, saidb
Lavon. I lose my balance every once and awhile. Thatsd
P
my Cadillac.
Lavon likes to bake and is a member of ChristT
o
the King Catholic Church in Dayton.
Lavon and Jim have been married for 65 yearso
and says her relationship with her husband is strongerf
k
since they can spend more time together.
Just have a lot of patience. No matter whatw
your children do stand behind them and just enjoy life asw
t
much as you can.

Southeast Valley...
The big obstacle has been transportation, but
we have two great transportation directors, Henrich said.
Weve made commitments made to parents about how long
kids would be on the bus and when they would be picked up
and worked through that.
Henrich also spoke about the challenge of creating
a brand new community based from the previous two school
districts.
Other things were the culture and climate in
bringing expectations from both districts together, Henrich
said. Weve had numerous kids who had never been in this
building and they didnt know the processes and policies,
and that was part of the learning process.
Altogether, Fox and Henrich stressed that it was all
about the students. According to both principals, the students
have come together to forge a positive atmosphere in both
buildings.
For the kids, they have shared that it was a good
experience, Fox said. Having a few more friends and a few
more kids in their grade has allowed them to find that social
niche. Its been good for the kids.
C
I cant say enough about the kids, Henrich said. J
They made it work. I really do think that we combined the
best of both districts and made some really strong programs.
Come Aug. 26, it will be year two of the Southeast
Valley whole grade sharing agreement. There will be new
challenges, of course, but according to Henrich, the future is
bright.
The brand of Southeast Valley is continue to grow
in all activities, whether its sports or fine arts, Henrich said
of the future. I see us becoming more and more involved in
the communities through projects. These communities give
a lot to the school, we need to give back and show that were
giving back.

Fiji...
which numbs the tongue! Many of us choose to go snorkeling where we saw blue star fish, huge clams, zebra
fish, and even Nemo! This was an experience that I will
never forget as I had my own guide and he took me to the
main channel for well over an hour. We fed the fish with
bread crumbs and then he would dive down and bring up
all kinds of sea creatures for me to see and touch.
Nestled in the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, we
visited a vast collection of orchids with more than 2,000
varieties, shaded by huge mahogany trees. This was once
the private collection of the late American actor, Raymond Burr. Also went to a fruit, vegetable and flower
market where the locals brought and sold their products,
including roots of tapioca.
We went to an original Fiji village named Narewa where the chief still lives in the middle and rules his
people. Culture shock set in when stories of the past were
told to us. It was very common for the chief to have 8-10
wives. Wife #1 was for love and it was a great honor,
but there were a few disadvantages. If the chief died first,
wife #1 was buried alive or clubbed to death. Wife #1
was safe if their first born was a boy, but if they had a girl,
the chief kept her and good-bye to wife #1! The chief
was a cannibal and each shell on his roof symbolized one
eaten person.
Methodist missionaries came in 1835 and
changed their ways. We visited the Methodist church
in the village square next to the chiefs hut and saw the
chiefs special corner where he would sit. The children
were absolutely adorable and wanted their picture taken.
Fiji is in the heart of the South Pacific with 333
islands, but only 110 are permanently occupied. It is 4
hours from Australia, 10 hours from Los Angeles and 5
hours south of Hawaii. Needless to say, its out in the
middle of nowhere! The population is 940,000 people
with 57% Fijian, 38% Indian and 5% mixed. In 1879,
Indians were brought in as slaves to work in the rice
fields. They were given a five year contract with the option to return, but most of them stayed.
They export tapioca root to China for ethanol,

ing down to $5, and cart rental fees, which also dropped
down to $5. The decking has been replaced and the clubhouse basement was cleaned.
Gayle Redman reported that the mens league
donated $2,500, Engquist Lumber of Harcourt donated
supplies and volunteers put the decking together.
The city council discussed the two bids submitted for flooring in the basement. The Warehime bid,
presented to the council at $559, was approved by the
council.
Redman also reported that the course had a
$26,000 profit, while the Clubhouse saw a $12,000 loss.
However, the Clubhouse had a $1,200 profit in May.
The profit for the golf course and clubhoouse
does not represent the fiscal year, but the calendar year
so far.
Sidewalk improvements by request:
ADA standards to sidewalks was presented to
the city council by Richard Johnson. The city council
measured the cost effectiveness of the situation and assessed that sidewalk improvements could be done by request. With the request, the property owner would then
be billed via taxes.
Park rentals set:
Rental rates were established, as the city reduced the rent to access the city parks bathroom and
kitchen to $50 with a $25 deposit. Access to Brockett
Parks bathroom is the same.
The Community and Civic Centers price is $50
for the room, $75 for the room and kitchen. The rental
rate for the Clubhouse is set for $50.
American Legion to acquire old firehouse:
Once the fire department moves into their new
digs next door, the old firehouse will be the home of
the Peterson Post of the American Legion. The American Legion had contributed to the firehouse in the past,
before Mayor Stokesbary agreed that the old building
would be theirs.
Pool repairs needed:
The city council found that there is new, bigger
leak under the cement. Stokesbary said that the leak was
a found out from the water usage. The council agreed
that leak detection is the way to go, until the pool can be
properly repaired in the offseason.
