improvements at High School for one year
Floor cleaning machine saves PV $1,000 per year . . .
By Jill Viles

Capital projects of the south wing of the PV
High School were discussed at the April 20 meeting of
the PV School Board.

Its been proposed the ICN room be updated.
This may involve removing a wall and updating windows, as well as other changes. An architect was assigned to produce drawings of proposed projects. The
district requested the plans merge the old with the new.

However, when the architect came to discuss
potential changes, he was concerned that if the district
completes just a partial renovation at this time, this could
lead to a serious design error and would require going
back and re-doing some of the work.

It was decided the district should wait one more
summer before making a decision, and then bid out for
the work. Phone calls are acceptable in terms of seeking information regarding the bidding process, but it was
pointed out that the district should request many bids and
also place an advertisement in the paper.

Weve got to have the community behind it,
said board member Joe Harrison.

Irwin concurred. Its time to step back. Its

just too tight a schedule right now.

Willardson offered shed like to see the building
fund up first.
Building Trades class

The Building Trades course is seeking a member of the community wishing to have a home built by
students from the community. If an interested individual
is not found, the class will participate in a renovation
project, but the district strongly prefers to pursue a house
building project. Previously, two parties have come forward, but backed out in the planning process.

Board member, Gary Welter, inquired how a
previous years spec house worked out. A spec house
is a home constructed without an owner and designed to
attract a buyer.

Not well, said Harrison who is also a city

Community Pharmacy, Gowrie, has a continual program for collecting unused prescription medications. Local and area residents may take their unused medications
(in the original container preferably) and Community
Pharmacy will make the proper disposal.

This does not pertain to controlled substances.
Community Pharmacy does not handled unused controlled substance medications.

These non-controlled, unused medications may
be delivered to Community Pharmacy during normal
business hours.

These unused medications are taken to their
Lake City clinic/hospital which has a disposal bid and a
proper disposal method.

We are pleased to extend this service to Gowrie
area residents, said Rhonda Gustafson, pharmacist and
manager.

council member. The city held onto the property for
three years.

I sure hope someone steps up by the next
meeting, said Irwin.

The district would like to let those potentially
interested in this endeavor, that partaking in this type of
arrangement can lead to a 30% reduction in construction costs. This can be quite an attractive situation for a
potential buyer. Also, it was noted that the family that
participated in the home building project in a previous
year has expressed they were pleased with the results.
School District purchases
flooring cleaning machine

The high school custodians have requested a
machine to facilitate the cleaning of floors. Currently,
a product must be used that removes wax from the floor
before it is cleaned, but this machine can complete the
work of wax removal and cleaning in a single step result
in a decrease of 50-75% if the time it takes to wax and
clean floors. Additionally, this saves the district $1,000
a year in cleaning products. The board approved the
$3,114 price for this machine.
Other business

Moving on to other discussion, the 2016-2017
academic calendar was discussed. It was noted that
people are most concerned about when in-service days
will fall, and there has been a definite preference for full
days for in-service rather than half days. Irwin noted the
calendar reflects this preference as there is only one halfday professional development day.

Board member Gary Welter suggested that
on previous conference days there have been teachers
unavailable at conference time because they are assisting with an extra-curricular activity. He suggested the
teachers should be available for conference days.

Next, it was agreed to keep the majority of
school funds with Security Savings Bank. Each year the

district is asked to pass a depository resolution. It was

noted previous loan rates have hovered around 1% and
the board is pleased with this.

Theyve [Security Savings Bank] has treated
us well, remarked Shannon Miller.

The list of the 78 candidates to be graduated
from Southeast Valley was presented and approved.

Elementary school principal, Jim Duncan, reported that Prairie Valley Elementary has been named
a STEM certified coding partner. This means students
have been taught to make a computer program by telling
the computer what to do.

Additionally, Mr. Duncan reported 45 kindergartners have enrolled in kindergarten, but he typically
sees more enrollees in May and later in July.

There is a music concert next Tuesday April
26th for 3rd and 4th grade students. The program for
TK-2nd grade will be held May 9th.

It is a small world. . .

I dropped off some residency forms at the
Dreamland Villa office early last week here in Mesa, AZ.
One form was completed by my mother and I completed
the form for my household which totals one person (me).

As I was returning to my vehicle to drive home
a man from the vehicle behind me asked, Where do you
live in Webster County?

Dayton, I stated, and then I walked over to
this man in his SUV.

I noticed he had an Iowa license plate also with
Dallas County in print.

His name was Dean Miller. Dean and his wife
Connie were planning to drive back to Iowa that day.
The Millers had stopped to alert the Dreamland posse
that they would gone and therefore the posse would be
watching their home along with their neighbors.

Dean and Connie live close to Perry, IA, in Dallas County. Ironically, the Millers live on East Dallas
Street in Dreamland Villa, five streets south from my
residential street and just two streets from my mothers
home.

I do know one other Miller family from our
area in Iowa and that is the Dale/Kay Miller family from

THE GOWRIE NEWS

Gowrie, I said.

Oh I know Dale very well, said Dean. We
arent related, but I was involved with Dale in the Perry
hog buying station for some years. I used to meet with
Dale there at 5 a.m.

It is a small world indeed.

Dean asked if I had joined the HOA plan at
Dreamland. It is now optional for residents. Yes, I am
a member, I told Dean.

Dean said they were also members. It is a great
deal and everyone should be a member, Dean stated.

It is quite a deal which includes many amenities
including heated pools, hot tubs, pickleball, etc. I tell
people that the fee is $175. Some people think that sum
is a little high for one month. Then I explain that fee is
for an entire year.

Dean talked a little about Dales family and how
they had interacted over the years. It was good to hear
from another Iowa native. There are many Iowans who
live in Arizona over the winter and also many who live in
Arizona all year.

One of the fine feel good stories occurred
more than a week ago in Arizona. A 72 year-old woman
from Tuscan was traveling to Phoenix to celebrate her
birthday.

Instead of taking I-10 to Phoenix (2-3 hour
drive), she drove through the High country going towards
Show Low. She got lost, ran out of gas, and was in the
Arizona desert wilderness with nothing in the vicinity.

For nine days she was with her small dog. She
had no food or water. She survived by eating berries and
some desert plants. She found a creek in the foothills of
the mountains and had water.

She left a note which was found by authorities.
She tried in vain to get reception on her cell phone;
every ridge, every new
plateau did not yield cell
phone communication.

She found a dead
elk and using its horns she
carved the word help. She
also used stones and sticks
to write help in a barren
area of one canyon.

Marlys Darlene Swanson, 75

Marlys Darlene Swanson was born on September 14th 1940 to Carl and Gladys (Peterson) Swanson in
the Swedish community of Gowrie, Iowa. She died on
April 12, 2016 in Denver, Colorado.

She graduated from Gowrie High School in
1958 and entered Iowa Lutheran School of nursing. During these years she found her greatest joy in serving with
the church.

On November 25th, 1961 she married Avan De
Vries and together they moved to Southern California.
He was a bank management trainee and she worked as
an operating room nurse. In August of 1967, the couple
relocated to Denver, Colorado where their two sons were
born.

Throughout these years, as their family grew,
Marlys ministry to women in the church took shape. As
a result of Bible study, vital mentoring and much practice, Marlys began teaching womens groups in neighborhood, church and retreat settings. She also began meeting
with individual women for fellowship and prayer. She
was invited to become an elder at Cherry Hills Community Church in 1993 and was active in the Presbytery of
the West in the following years. She rejoiced in this vocation, particularly an experience at a summer series with
Cherry Hills where she taught about the Holy Spirit.

Memorial services were held at Cherry Hills
Community Church on April 26th. She is survived by her
husband, Avan, sons Loren (Tina) of Bettendorf, Iowa
and Lyle (Beth) of Denver, Colorado, five grandchildren
and her sister Delores (Dave) Hoover of Gowrie, Iowa.

Canteen Cafe Fire...

Dear Editor:

In 1949 or 1950 my parents bought the Canteen
Cafe and operated it for a few years before selling it and
moving to Fort Dodge.

Some time afterward, the Canteen burned down
and was destroyed. Could you please tell me the date of
the fire and, if possible, could you send me any information on the fire?

I was in the military during those years and
know nothing of it except that it actually happened.

The restaurant occupied only one half of the
first story of the building. The other half was pretty much
empty except for a stack of folding chairs and miscellaneous stuff.

This second room was used (very rarely) for
overflow crowds and also was the meeting place of the
Gowrie Branch of The American Legion.

Since they held their meetings there, their mem-

bers would have been very

aware of the fire.

There may no
longer be any Legion
members who were active
at that time, but I suspect
even younger members
would have picked up
many stories about the fire
from older guys who were
Legionairs at the time of
the fire.

Down Memory Lane

B Y

Green blinds and Ice Cream . . .

There is a foolish corner in the brain of the wisest man. That is one of Aristotles astute sayings and I
trust it means mankind and thus a woman too. Often
when a thought or memory comes into my mind I jot a
little note on whatever is handy at the place I happen to
be. When those scraps of paper or jottings on the back
of a magazine or puzzle book begin to pile up I deem it
time to rescue and use them or toss out as trivia unworthy
of further consideration. In this presentation I will share
some of those I chose to save and at the end you will
probably say some of them should have gone with the
others,

One orphan note said Green window blinds
on spring rollers. Who else is still around who remembers such things? Especially in old farm houses you not
only put up curtains or drapes but window blinds which
you could roll up or down. They served several purposes.
One obvious one was privacy, especially at night when
the lamps were lit or lights turned on. They provided not
only shade from the sun if it were a window where it came
in brightly; they provided insulation from blowing winds
as many windows were not as tight as the new ones of today. They also kept the drapes or curtains from sun fading or at least helped some. If it was a window that would
open in the summer the blind was rolled completely up
and the curtains/drapes pulled back by ties or slid way to
the side on their rods. The roller that held the blinds had
springs in them that automatically (if good ones) would
allow one to give a little jerk and the blind would roll up.
The original ones I remember were very dark green, supposedly a color that would keep it warmer and also better
protect the other window coverings. Eventually decor
crept in and the blind material became more pliable and
much lighter in color from tan down to white. Now we
use venetian blinds horizontal slats that can be opened
or closed or raised to various levels or the vertical kind
that are used primarily at patio doorways. Personally, I
think they are a pain and prefer just to have the drapery

Caseys General Store in Dayton burglarized

April 27; cash from register taken, clerk okay
No one injured, police have photos. . .

On WednesdayApril 27, 2016 at 10:35 p.m. a
white male entered the Caseys General Store at 307 3rd
Street NW Dayton and demanded money. The clerk gave
the male the money from the cash register at that time.


There was not a weapon displayed during the
encounter. The suspect then left the store on foot and
proceeded north. Employees did not see a vehicle in the
vicinity at that time.

The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 60 years of age, 6 feet tall, thin build, green
eyes and clean shaven. The suspect was dressed in blue
jeans, gray hooded sweatshirt; had a yellow Hawkeye
emblem on the hood and tennis shoes. The suspect had
othe hood up and used his hand to help hide his identity.

No employees were injured during the commisesion of this crime. Nothing else was taken from the store.

Caseys is equipped with video which is being
sreviewed by investigators.

treatment but living in an apartment one has to abide by

the rules for a uniform presentation to the outside. Oh,
well --- I am glad the old dark green blinds are way in
the past.

Another thing I have wondered about Does
anyone remember going to or through Ogden and stopping for a good double dip homemade ice cream cone?
It was a place toward the west end (then) of the business
district on old Highway 30. My recollection is that it
was at the locker plant and they had a window you could
walk up to, perhaps even drive up. While I am not completely sure of the shop location I am positive about the
deliciousness of that ice cream and the fact they carried
two flavors that were not the run of the mill vanilla,
chocolate or strawberry though they had them too. Those
two specials were orange-pineapple and tutti-fruiti. Orange-pineapple, my favorite, was not sherbet but real ice
cream and simply luscious. I dont recall ever getting
that flavor any place else. The tutti-fruiti was to become
a commercial flavor but I havent seen it in years. It was
much later in my life that I would become addicted to
Boyds ice cream in either Boone or Ames, even though
I had heard about Boyds for years. They were good but
that orange-pineapple was very special.

At the time we were enjoying that good ice
cream many people still had ice boxes in the corner of
their kitchens or in their basements. But gradually people began to get electric refrigerators (especially following WWII) but they only had small freezer sections to
hold a few trays of ice cubes which was a real treat for
summer koolade and tea, etc. While there were a number
of manufacturers of the electric ice boxes, Frigidaire
was the popular brand and most people called all refrigerators Frigidaire. It was some time later that freezer
tops came into use so going out for ice cream was a special treat or going to Westeens and buying only what
the family could eat immediately or better yet, a freezer
of homemade ice cream was great. Boxholm had no ice
house so that alternative was usually left to the church
ice cream socials. Remember them? Yummmmmm.

The readers who dont remember the old ice
cream days mentioned herein, you really missed out on
some great times and great eating. Let me or The Review know if you can clue me in on the Ogden ice cream.
Right now that burgundy cherry-chocolate in my freezer
is beckoning me.

Five SV students competed in 2016

National History Day State Competition
Exploration, Encounter, Exchange in History...

~ www.daytongowrienews.com ~

On Monday, April 25, five SV students competed in Des Moines at the 2016 National History Day state
competition. The theme for this year was Exploration,
Encounter, Exchange in History.

Erin Zeka competed with a documentary titled
Japanese-American Internment: When Words werent
Enough.

Viatris Scott, Jaidyn Rowley, Mackenzie
Crampton and Mason Goodwin created the website Signal Corps: Exploration in Wartime Communication.

These students have done major research to
learn about their topics and how their topics are significant in history.

At the state level of competition there are two
rounds: preliminary and final.

The preliminary round involves an interview

with judges who then decide which projects should advance.

Both projects advanced to the finals level! At
the finals level a totally new group of judges takes over
and there is no interview.

These students did outstanding research and
represented SV in a very professional and distinctive performance. They are to be congratulated for their efforts.

Through working on their projects, students
learned innumerable research skills. They also learned
how to use computer programs with which they created
the documentary and website.

The website is located at http://53371609.nhd.

Wendell family history...

Dear Editor,

Could you please provide me with information
on my relatives in Gowrie, Iowa. Here is all the information that I have.

If you could please let me know under what circumstances the three young children may have died.

All three below buried in Lost Grove Cemetery,
near Gowrie, Iowa.

Amelie DOB April 1, 1872 - DOD April 9,
1878; Christina DOB November 8, 1873 - DOD April
28, 1878; Amelie Christina DOB April 1, 1878 - DOD
November 8, 1878.

Also, any information on what that area of Iowa
was like around 1878.

It is sometimes hard to imagine the conditions
that people lived in during those times. I have been
working on family history for a few years and come
across these sad stories of such loss, yet they carry on.

The relationship of the Wendell family is
through my mother Judith Willis (Querin). Her grandfather Robert Willis married Anna Vendel/Wendell.

Vendel is the Swedish spelling and during this
time the family name was probably Vendel then Wendel
and finally Wendell.

According to some family history information
the family arrived in the U.S. (see specific years below)
at Altoona, Ill, and then arrived in Gowrie, Iowa in approximately May 1875. Jon (John) bought an 80 acre
farm in 1883 southeast of Gowrie and built a house.

Jon Vendel/Wendell DOB January 3, 1837
Borrby, Sweden. DOD April, 4, 1926 in Iowa.

1873 Jon Wendell Immigrated to the U.S. from
Borrby, Sweden.

Wife, Elna (Lassesdotter Wendell). DOB November 17, 1838 Sweden. DOD January 2, 1908 in
Iowa. Elna was his second wife, his first wife Kerstin,
died in 1870 in Sweden.

1874 Elna immigrated to the U.S. along with
four children. Anna and Lewis from Jons first marriage,
and Amelie, and Christina, all four born in Sweden.

Elna and Jon also had two other children born in
Gowrie, Iowa, Oscar on March 26, 1876 to January 15,
1944, and Theodore on August 15, 1879 to January 1,
1951.
Sincerely,
Lisa Querin - Santa Rosa, California

Therefore encourage one

another and build each other up.
1 Thessalonians 5:11

God wants us to help one another. Why? Because that is what He wants us to do. We need people in our
lives to encourage us, and we need to encourage the people
in return.

The word encourage means to urge forward
Many times we can see something in someone that they
fail to see in themselves.
We need to look for opportunities to encourage those
around us. God gives us
many and varied ways of
encouraging people.

We can do our encouraging with a kind word
or a simple written note. In
whatever way we can , we
need to help those around us
to do a better job of doing
things for others, and therefore we both will be doing
what God wants us to do.

If we are builders of people, and help others to fulfill their dreams
not only will they be happy,
but so will God. Whenever
we work with God we will
have our dreams fulfilled
and we will be living in
Gods blessing all of our remaining days.

Prayer:
Thank
You, Lord, for giving us
people that not only encourage us, but for giving us
opportunities to encourage
those around us. In Jesus
Holy Name, Amen

Vernon E. Swanson Crosses to France

As appeared in The Gowrie News, October 12, 1944...

Sgt. Vernon E. Swanson has arrived in France
after having been in England a month. When the letter was written, September 3, he was living in a tent.
Selmer Lennarson is in a medical detachment of the same
unit while Sgt. Eldon Danielson and Pvt. Duane Smith of
Harcourt, are also in the same division. Vernon thoroughly enjoyed their stay in England where he visited many
historical places. His letter follows:
Dear Mr. Patton,

It has been quite some time since I last sat down
and wrote to you concerning another one of Gowries
G.I.s. And today marks the completion of my first year
in the U.S. Army, so it is fitting that I sit down in my tent
and pass on a few of my experiences during the past several months.

After I left Virginia Military Institute and said
goodbye to ASTP, I landed at Indiantown Gap Military
Reservation where I stayed from March to the middle of
July - one of my many transferred into the 95th Inf. Division. I guess I was a little more fortunate than the rest
in that I became Communications Sergeant of my unit.
While stationed there, I visited Washington , D.C., New
York, Philadelphia, and spent three weeks in the West
Virginia mountains - and, best of all, a ten day furlough
in Gowrie. Selmer Lennarson is in this outfit and weve
had many good talks, though I havent seen him of late.
The last two months we were trained and equipped for
overseas, so it was no surprise when we pulled out for an
eastern P.O.E.

I enjoyed an uneventful but interesting trip to
England, where we were placed in barracks for about a
month. During this time we were privileged to visit quite
a few places of importance - and I really made the most
of such opportunities. There are four of us fellows in my
company who chum around together continually, and I
dont believe any other group saw as much of England as
we did in the time we stayed there. In our pass to London,
we covered nearly every historic spot and experienced
things that can only be experienced in London. These
people and their country impressed me very much, and I
certainly hope I can return there again and see more of it.

At present I am in my little tent in a field somewhere in France. Were living outdoors all the time, and
personally I like it except for crawling out on these frosty
mornings. To date our schedule permits us to participate
in sports most of the day, but what lies ahead we have no
idea. We take advantage of evenings and Sundays to get
around and see our section of France, and I have enough

reading and speaking knowledge of French to get along

enough to enjoy this country that much more.

Yep, Ive completed a year in the army, and I
can truthfully say its been a great experience, and Im
looking forward to the rest of it. Of course Im looking
forward to also getting home, but theres a job to be done,
and until it is completed, I aim to make the most of moving from one interesting place to another and seeing those
things Ive always wanted to see.

I havent received a Gowrie News since I arrived over here, so feel a little behind times concerning
the good old home town. But you can bet Ill appreciate
each issue all the more

Regards to all who make Gowrie the place to
come home to.
Vernon

Amendment would remain in full force and effect.

County Attorney Jen Benson discussed the closure of National

an ordinance, amendment or resolution requires an affirmative vote of not
less than a majority of the supervisor. Because a majority of supervisors
did not vote to adopt the resolution, the resolution is invalid and it is now
necessary to correct the record and the documents filed with the Recorder.
Chairman Campbell ordered the road open and barricades be removed.

The board discussed health insurance deductible options; no action
taken.

Moved by Singer, seconded by Fletcher to adjourn the meeting.
Motion carried unanimously.

SV Jaguar girls fourth at Humboldt meet;

competition is tough, coach praises Jags
Natalie Lambert wins 400 hurdles; more records set. . .

The Southeast Valley girls track team finished
fourth of seven teams at the Humboldt Invitational meet
last week but the Jags had several very good individual
accomplishments.

Pocahontas Area won the meet with 145 points
and were followed by Algona, 114; Humboldt, 112;
Hampton-Dumont, 80; Southeast Valley, 70; St. Edmonds, 42; and Estherville LC, 24.

We had a great night of running and it helped
them drop a lot of our times. The competition was very
tough but it brought the best out of the girls, said coach
Mike Swieter.

We are still trying a few different people in different relays and different opens to see who is ready for
the conference meet and then on to districts so we hope
the girls continue to compete each and every practice to
