Have you ever wondered what the behind storyof how the red field poppy came to be known as an inter-nationally recognized symbol of Remembrance? Here isthe story: From the battlefields of World War I, weary sol-diers brought home the memory of a barren landscapetransformed by wild poppies, red as the blood that hadsoaked the soil. By that miracle of nature, the spirit of their lost comrades lived on. The poppy became a symbol of the sacrifice of lives in war, and represented the hope that none had diedin vain. The American Legion Auxiliary Poppy has con-tinued to bloom for the casualties of four wars, its petalsof paper bound together for veterans by veterans, remind-ing America each year that the men and women who haveserved and died for their country deserve to be remem-bered. Poppy Day has become a familiar tradition inalmost every American community. The distribution of the bright red memorial flower to the public is one of the oldest and most widely recognized programs of theAmerican Legion Auxiliary. There is a Poem titled: In Flanders Field, whichso inspired Miss Moina Michael that on impulse, shebought a bouquet of poppies and handed them to busi-nessmen meeting at the New York YMCA where sheworked. She asked them to wear the poppy as a tributeto the fallen. That was November 1918. World War Iwas over, but America's sons would rest forever "in Flan-ders Fields." Later, she would spearhead a campaign thatwould result in the adoption of the poppy as the nationalsymbol of sacrifice.

Here is the poem:

In Flanders FieldIn Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved, and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields. ~ John McCrea

When Memorial Day rolls around each year itdoes bring up memories. Of course there are memoriesof our departed loved ones and the plans to honor themin some way, especially putting flowers and wreaths on

their graves. I want to do this for my parents becauseMom loved her plants and flowers and Dad wanted theyard to be well manicured, free of weeds and “ragged”edges. For veterans, for whom the day was originated,there are speeches and ceremonies, placing of flags, gunsalutes and yes, they get flowers too.

But Memorial Day has become even more. Formany years it was observed on the 30th of May, regard-less of the day of the week but down the line congressdecreed it should be on the Monday closest to that date.If you look at your calendars this year is a real MemorialDay as it does fall on Monday, the 30th. Many busi-nesses close and give their employees the coveted threeday weekend, however “service” businesses, i.e. grocerystores, gas stations/”quik” shops, malls, eateries, take fulladvantage of the many who have that extra day to cel-

ebrate in some way and thus perhaps be out and aboutneeding or wanting to shop in their facilities. Some em-ployees are fortunate, having it be their regular day offwhile others have “drawn the short straw” and will haveto work all or some of the three day weekend. There willbe family gatherings, cook outs, camping and other “fun”things far removed from the original intent of the holiday.Here in Des Moines it has become a tradition that is highschool graduation weekend and the public high schools

Memories on Memorial Day . . .

all have graduation at the Drake Field House. That cancause some auto and foot congestion as they are prettymuch back to back. I hope to be able to attend anothergreat grandchild’s graduation from Lincoln on Memorial

Day weekend Saturday. Another’s will be on Sundayin a town in Northeastern Iowa and I will not be able toattend that one and I am a bit saddened but hope he willunderstand. Next year there will be another, but closerto home and then the next year two more. At this pointof my life I take it a day at a time and hope that I cancontinue attending these functions as long as possible. With the graduation activity I will probably goout to my parents’ graves on Friday, before the cemeteryis fully prepared with a final grounds sprucing and the“avenues of flags” which each year is so impressive. ButI want to do that as long as I possibly can too.

Growing up in the small town of Boxholm, weusually started school and ended it before the “big city”ones but now I understand that the State has stepped inand almost mandated that schools cannot start before a

specified date. That apparently is what happened to the“up north” graduation which for two others was a weekahead of our Des Moines ones. With another coming upnext year I have some hopes. First, that next year I willstill be around and able to attend that one which will becloser to home and somehow, somewhere there mightbe another alumni reunion for BHS and possibly GrandCommunity grads. If we have no hope, what have we?We have our memories. As an old song said, “No, no,they can’t take that away from me”.

Memorial Day lives up to its name in that manyof us can have and try to bring back those memories, ofour families and other loved ones and of those “good olddays” of our youth and younger years – days of class-rooms, extracurricular activities, friends we made, manyfor life, of other reunions. In the meantime do take timeto relive your memories, of childhood, family, friends,school days, meeting that someone special, increasesand even decreases in family – all the things our lifepaths take us, up to mountain tops and down in valleysand hopefully, primarily on smooth, level roads. Have a great Memorial Day. Happy memories!

Conrad LosesPlayoff, falls shy

of State Meet Southeast Valley senior golfer, Conner Conrad,narrowly missed out on his last and final attempt to qual-ify for the State golf tournament. If not for a new rulethe State instituted this year Conrad would have qualifiedfor State. If the Shenandoah team would have scored 1stroke better, he would have made it. If Conner himselfwas 1 stroke better he would have made it, and if he hadwon playoff he would have made it. “We knew what heneeded to do, and he was just not quite good enough onthat day,” quoted coach Mike Conrad, “if he had played

just a little better, it would all take care of itself. But it isdepressing.” In the past the top 4 individuals and all ties for

fourth make it to State. This year it is still the top four,but not ties, and two players from non-qualifying teamsalso advance if not part of the top four. Confusing???Anyway Conrad tied for fourth place. It was a 4 way tie.Kid from Kuemper, but since his team made it, he didn’tmatter. So a kid from Shenandoah, a kid from Clarinda,and Conner, now had to play a playoff for 1 spot, and itdid not go in Conner’s favor.

Conrad had a solid season and career. He leavesas only the second golfer in Coach Conrad’s 28 years ofcoaching to qualify for districts all four years on his ownscore. (Nate Schill 2011) He won a medal all four yearsat conference golf meet. Numerous meet medals and run-ner up medals were accumulated over his career. Conradfinished as the 5th lowest career individual stroke aver-age for Coach Conrad.

“He will be sadly missed in more ways thanone”, added his Coach. Complete team/season wrap up in future.

Lady Jaguar GolfersClose Out Season The Lady Jags golf team finished the season 7-3in conference play and 8-4 overall. The Jags were led bysenior returning letter winners Marydith Barkley, TiffanyBlunk and Sage Michalski. Sophomores Anna Hansonand Carson Shipley also lettered for the Jags.

Freshman Payton Erritt, Hannah DeVries andPaige Garcia earned participation certificates. Marydith

Barkley was Southeast Valley low stroke average recipi-ent with a 54 stroke average.Tiffany Blunk averaged 55, Sage Michalski 59,

Anna Hanson 69, Carson Shipley 70 and Payton Erritt71. Modified scoring JV stroke averages were Paige Gar-cia 76 and Hannah DeVries 81. Coach Blunk commented“it’s been a terrific season. I really leaned on our threeseniors.

They came through and did an outstanding jobof leading our team. We will miss them a bunch. Theirleadership was a great model for the younger girls to em-ulate. I’ve had a lot of good seniors but this group standsout. Regionals are Monday and I’m hoping we play well.Our region has some outstanding teams so it will be a dif-ficult challenge for us.” Eight teams will be competing atregionals.

Regional play 18 holes at Coldwater Links inAmes 5-16-16: The Lady Jags finished 8th in Regionalaction. The shorthanded Jaguars shot a team total 479.Marydith Barkley led the Jags with 101. Anna Han-son shot 124, Sage Michalski 126 and Tiffany Blunk128.

Coach Blunk commented “this was a tough wayto end the season. I knew it would be extremely difficultto advance but we are a better team than we showed, butthat’s the way it goes with golf. I’ve really enjoyed thepast season. I’m hoping the younger girls’ get out andplay this summer to improve for next season.

Looking back, if you would have told me we’dbe 7-3 in conference play this season I’d thought youwere nuts. We improved tremendously from the first dayof practice.

The team should be proud of that. Also, bigthanks to Dayton Oaks and Gowrie Golf courses for theirsupport and allowing us to use their courses. We are veryfortunate to have two very nice courses in such a closeproximity. And thanks to the Gowrie News, Dayton Re-view and Dayton Leader for getting our articles in the pa-per. It is appreciated. I know the community appreciatesit as well. Job well done.”

By Jill Viles Those in attendance for Prairie Valley’s School

Board meeting the evening of May 16 were offered a spe-cial presentation. Mrs. Kastendieck, and several elemen-tary students, discussed the district’s innovative codingprogram.

The audience was in awe of the achievements ofsuch young students, and very pleased with the progressthe district is making in terms of getting students excitedabout technology from a very young age. Presenters in-cluded a TK student named Delaney, third grader KaydenKraft, and fourth grader, Carson Joyce. Mrs. Kastendieck attended training through theArea Education Agency. She professes the instructionalmaterials are the best lesson plans and formatting plans

she has ever utilized that are free for educators. Stu-dents of different grade levels are offered varying sessionlengths based on attention level.

Typically students participate in 35 minute ses-sions, but often they are so engrossed in their work thatthey don’t want to stop. Additionally, it was noted theyoungest students encounter difficulty manipulating themouse, so technology specialist, Vicki Johnson, has of-fered ten additional chromebooks for the youngest stu-dents.

Students work in pairs—one does the driving,while the other does the map. Though it seems a com-plex concept for such young students, those participatingare developing an understanding the binary codes are puttogether to form an algorithm.

Many of the cod-ing sessions appeal to thestudents because they arebased on popular gamessuch as Angry Birds,Zombie Garden, Frozenand Star Wars. Studentscan even create their owngames.

Moving on to other news, an additional teacherhas requested early retirement though the deadline forearly retirement requests has already passed. “Technically, if we do this for one teacher, wehave to open this up for everyone,” suggested superin-tendent Lois Irwin. She explained the district has the

received the required paperwork from this teacher, butthe board must vote as to whether they wish to grant thisearly retirement request. “If they are thinking of retirement this seriously,then we should let them retire,” offered board memberJoe Harrison. “As long as we feel we have a suitable personto replace them, I think we should go along with this,”concurred board member Gary Welter. “I believe we can find a good, or for that matter,great candidate to fill this position,” said Irwin. However, board member Jim Carlson presenteda differing point of view. “We had this deadline out there. We had timeframes. I think this sets a bad precedent and is unfairto the teachers who submitted their paperwork on time,”

suggested Carlson. Board member, Patrice Klingson of-fered she shared Carlson’s concerns regarding precedent. Harrison appeared to be swayed by Carlson’swords. “I tend to agree with Jim,” he offered. “However,we don’t know if there were extenuating circumstances.” “Perhaps the extension should be approved, butnot an identical package,” offered Carlson. Board member, Kathy Carlson voiced a newconcern. “I don’t want someone sticking around if theydon’t like the modified retirement package.” Ultimately, the board voted six to one to extendthe deadline for early retirement. Jim Carlson offered thedissenting vote.Press box construction Discussion was held regarding the constructionof a new press box. It was announced a plan for construc-
