ber. Although there weren’t many community membersable to attend, there was good discussion about ways toeducate students about the dangers both in the real worldand the digital world. From this discussion, the counsel-ors felt they had some experiences they could share withother counselors in the area.

The pipes at the water plant are going to be xedby Bergman Plumbing. The new jake brake signs have been installed onHighway175.

The utilities spent on the Community Center area concern since the building only receives $5,560 and$4,896 is the utility expense.

There was no report from the Park and Rec or911 and Ambulance.

In regards to Emergency Management, the res-ignation of Tony Jorgensen was discussed and what wasplanned to ll the vacancy. There was very little changein the budget so the numbers from last year are beingused again. The attorney had prepared a lease for the balldiamond to the school, changes are being made and thenthe school will be going over the revised contract. A E911 increase was discussed, dollar amountsand explanations. The increase is probably out of theCouncil’s hands, so a plan is needed to adjust for the in-crease in the budget.

In fall of 2014 Terry Towne, Gowrie, took her thirdtrip to Africa. She works with the Center for AgriculturalDevelopment.

“I go because I want to make a difference in theworld,” said Terry. “This is something I can go do. It is asmall difference but still a difference. I like encouragingthe girls to go to school and lending my skills as a book-keeper.”

Terry ies 21 hours then endures a 13-hour car rideto reach the Center for Agricultural Development in Tan-

zania. Once there she performs Audits for the center andhelps organize a budget. She also gives advice on book-keeping and record keeping.

This year the locals were taught how to use a planterto plant corn. Normally, everything is planted by hand.

Terry was at the center for about a week. For muchof that time there was no access to electricity. The tripoccurred during Tanzania’s dry season. Only 10% of Tan-zania has electricity. The electricity that is available ishydroelectric power meaning if there is no water thereis no power.

Terry said the largest barrier is language. Throughoutthe entire trip a translator is present. The ofcial languag-es of Tanzania are Swahili and English. Many childrenspeak three different languages: Swahili, English, andtheir tribal language.

While on the ight the prior Bishop Cleopa Lukilo,65, passed away. The Bishop helped sign the agreementto start the Center for Agricultural Development. Terryand the others that went on the trip, her husband Bruceand Mike Vaughn attended the funeral.

The funeral was entirely in Swahili and lasted threehours. Nearly 30,000 people attended the funeral.

“It Pays to Advertise!”

By David Satterlee

After a year of discussion and initial planning,a project to relocate and expand County Maintenance fa-

cilities was moved forward. Calhoun-Burns and Associ-ates were authorized to proceed with preparing Phase 1BConstruction documents for consideration.

During discussion, the current secondary roaddepartment equipment repair site and 80’x50’ storagebuilding at 209 S 40th St. were described as too small,old, deteriorating and poorly drained. The well was de-scribed as “suspect” and the sewage system “unreli-able.”

In any event, the well lacks the capacity for thesprinkler system that current codes would require in anymajor upgrades to the building. In the proposed Phase 1, a new 10-acre site witha 100’x280’ maintenance building would be built at 1950225th Street, which is already owned by Webster County.A Phase 2 project could use available space to add a road-

salt storage dome. There is also enough room for Phase 3to add a County storage building. Public hearings wouldbe held.Other February 3 business Mary Ohrtman, Kim Motl and Jamey Whitneypresented a request for a Country contribution to FiscalYear 2016 funding for Upper Des Moines Opportunity,Inc. No action was taken. A ve-year contract extension with JohnsonControls was approved for facilities cleaning and servicesafter a discussion of Amendment Four to Operation andMaintenance Agreement for Webster County Facilities.The ve-year agreement provides a savings of about$24,000 over 1-year renewals.

In discussion, Johnson Controls was commend-ed for providing comprehensive and quality work with

good communications for 15 years. A part-time “day por-ter” was also approved to do additional grounds keepingfrom April through November, 2015. The Supervisors accepted reports on DrainageRepairs for Drainage District #65 (Gowrie) and the Vet-eran Affairs Commission’s Quarterly Report of PersonsServed. They approved assigning a Tax Sale Certicate

over to the City of Clare for property in Hood’s Addi-tion.

They also authorized a permit for Asplundh TreeExpert Company to trim and remove trees and to spray

stumps for MidAmerican Energy.The County road crews were commended fortheir response and hard work in the recent major 12”snow event. Bob Singer reported that he had returned fromattending the Iowa “Transportation Day” at the Capitolnd that he felt optimistic. Previous gasoline sales tax in-creases have been deferred in response to consumer re-sistance.

Now, with the price of gasoline near $2.00, therewas a general consensus that “things have changed” andthere is more support for an additional 10 cent tax to fundroad maintenance and construction. Supervisor Singer isknown to favor the long-delayed completion of the High-way 20 upgrade.

Webster County Supervisors approveplanning for new maintenance facilityGas tax could be more feasible. . .

PV voters narrowlydefeat PPEL tax levy155-148 in election

Feb. 11, 2015


As I sit at this computer swimming the seas ofall the technological ability it contains, much ofwhich I am totally illiterate, I think back to my child-hood and youth to some of the simple things in whichwe found pleasure. When we wanted to communicatewe would get on the phone, if the person we wanted tocontact was in our own Boxholm calling system. Wecouldn’t get on for just idle chatter and pay for it. Wealso, because most were on party lines, limited conver-sation time because we wanted to show the courtesywe expected. We never dreamed of anything like cellphones. Some of us had not had electricity in our homesthat long and we didn’t have all the electronic appliancesand gadgets. If we had them we wouldn’t be able to usethem freely or at all because of the house’s wiring be-ing for simple lighting and radio listening. If you had aphonograph it was still the wind up kind with scratchyrecords but still could be entertaining at times. As an only child, particularly in winter monthsor inclement weather on warmer days, I had to come upwith my own inside entertainment. I had dolls but wasn’tmuch on playing with them. I was more of a tomboywho liked to explore the outdoors. I always said dollsweren’t real and I agreed with myself even more when Ibecame a mother of ve. So on those cold, rainy timesI would explore around the house, in the little room up-stairs where a few seldom used things were stored alongwith the big sacks of our and sugar. Old newspapers,until they could be disposed of in the spring when itwas a safe, windless burning day were interesting to gothrough again, particularly the Sunday funnies. Therewere quite a few of them as the colored pages didn’t gettaken to the outhouse. How many readers know what “Mom’s buttonbox” is? Those were the days when almost everyonefollowed the advice, “waste not, want not”, and noth-ing was wasted. When men’s shirts, and other cloth-ing was past human wearing it was not just discarded.Everything surely had some continued value or use.First the buttons were carefully removed and placed inthe button box. Mom’s was a round tin, maybe a candycontainer given years before. It was about the size yousee at Christmastime with fancy cookies or candy andthe primary color was green though rather chipped fromyears of handling. When a piece of clothing was madeand had buttons, extras were put in the box “in case onegot lost”. Made more sense than having to buy a wholenew set for one button. The same for men’s shirts, bothwork and dress.

Mom’s button box was pretty full after all theyears of collecting but none was ever discarded as longas it was intact. I could spend hours with Mom’s buttonbox, laying out the buttons with their matches. The fan-

cier ones for women’s apparel were usually quite easyto nd but those smaller, pearly shirt buttons, most ofthem a shade of white, for men’s shirts could be a puzzle.Some of them were made from nacre or mother of pearl,the linings of mollusk shells which were once abundantin Iowa’s largest rivers. (These were days when we were just starting to be introduced to plastics and their manyand varied uses.) Because those nacre buttons werefrom nature the colors, though basically white, could bevaried and not as easy to match. One could while awaya dull weather afternoon with the matching task. My aunt also had a button box but I don’t recallthe type of container she chose but sometimes when ather house on a “stay inside” day, her button box became just as fascinating. She had no daughter so I could some-times nd enough matching buttons for a dress or blouse

my Mom was making for me. I don’t think my cousin oruncle would have appreciated a “fancy” button on theirshirts or jackets and she didn’t need them all for herself.

The Button Box....

Those button boxes were the “treasures” ofgirls but I suppose the boys found similar ways of pass-ing those inside days, maybe out in the garage or tool-shed of dads and grandpas. I know the same applied fornails, screws, washers, nuts and bolts and small toolsfor boys and young men as the button box did for thegirls. Are any readers old enough to remember thebutton box and toolshed nails and screws cans? I canhear my grandchildren and great grandchildren saying,“Huh? What is she talking about?” I think my oldestdaughter may remember Grandma’s button box. Hm-mmm---- Now I wonder what ever happened to it? I’llhave to ask my boys if they ever found Grandpa’s hav-ing a nail and screw container out in the garage. I knowmy son in law’s Dad had several coffee cans full of oldnails and such, some of which were so bent when foundit was wondered why? But , he denitely was a ,”wastenot, want not” person, excessively so. Ah, yes, times change and now most of usdon’t save enough of the right things. Do you have a“button box”?

Senior Series

By Cassidy Riley

In what some may call an increasingly isolated and synthetic world, GlenMundt, 92, has spent most of his life surrounded by nature.

Glen was born and raised in Farnhamville where his father farmed. In his fa-ther’s footsteps, Glen began his own farming career after he graduated in 1942.

Before he was drafted into the military near the end of World War II, Glenmoved around to different farms outside of Farnhamville and even spent some time inChicago at the Bell and Howell Company.

In the United States Army he received training to be an X-ray technician butbefore he could use any of his newly acquired skills the war was over. He returned homein 1947 and married his wife Doris Mundt. The couple lived and worked on farms out-side of Farnhamville until 1958 when Glen was able to buy his own farm with his dad.

“You see everything growing,” he said. “It’s a neat place to live.”For 30 years he farmed the 160 acres of corn and soy beans along with a hand-

ful of cows and a ock of chickens. Next to being close to nature, Glen said several

other things about farming always appealed to him. “Being your own boss is one thing,” he said. “If you decided to take one dayoff you could.” Alongside the crops he spent his life raising, Glen and Doris had four chil-dren—two boys and two girls. Their oldest daughter Marilyn died of a brain tumor at theage of ve months. Glen said before she died she was hospitalized in Iowa City. Whenthey took her home she seemed worse than when she was at the hospital, so the couplecalled a doctor from Jefferson. She died during the doctor’s visit to their house.

“The doctor said ‘You’re still young. You can have some more,’ which we didbut it’s still a sadness,” Glen said.

The three children who followed are still alive today. The younger daughter,Carol, lives in a nursing home. Their oldest son Allan owns Mundt’s Service Center,

1301 Market, and their youngest son is a retired UPS driver.In 1986 Glen retired from the farm and devoted more time to another passionof his in nature—shing. “A bad day of shing is better than a good day of work,” he said.

Glen said he and his friend Wendell Palmquist shed on a regular basis from1986 to 1991. One year, the pair caught over 90 crappies in one afternoon.

Glen made several memories on a boat on Don William’s Lake—including thetime Wendell caught an unexpected mammoth of a sh.

“One day when he was out in the boat Wendell said ‘I think I got a snag,’”Glen said.

The “snag” was actually a mighty, 26-pound catsh, which pulled Wendell andthe boat around for 15 minutes before tiring.

Despite how much he loves it, Glen hardly ever has the opportunity to shthese days—not since he went blind in 2004 due to macular degeneration. Maculardegeneration causes damage to the eye’s macula and obscures a person’s ability to see.Glen is completely blind in his right eye and his left eye can only see some light.

To learn to cope with his blindness, Glen completed a stay in the Iowa Schoolfor the Blind in 2010. He said he was taught several helpful tips to get through everydaylife activities.

“They taught us how to distinguish a quarter from a dime and a nickel,” hesaid.

In his home he has certain tricks in place to help him, including Velcro pieceson the start, end, one minute, and two minute buttons on the microwave. He said one ofthe hardest parts about dealing with his vision loss is depending on others after havingdepended on himself for so long. Now, if he wants to do something like shing, he can’t go alone. He said occa-sionally his son would take him shing and he would sit on the edge of the dock insteadof in a boat. Glen said overall he thinks he has adjusted well to his blindness and in all otherways he feels 20 years below his age.

“It’d be better if I wasn’t blind but you have to cope with what you’ve got—whatever the good Lord gives you,” he said.

If Nuns Ruled the world:

Ten Sisters on a Mission

by Jo Piazza

Veteran reporter Jo Piazza proles ten extraor-dinary nuns and the causes to which they have dedicatedtheir lives-from an eighty-three-year-old Ironman cham-pion to a brave sister who rescues victims of human traf-cking Meet Sister Simone Campbell, who traversed

the United States challenging a Republican budget thatthreatened to severely undermine the well-being of poorAmericans; Sister Megan Rice, who is willing to spendthe rest of her life in prison if it helps eliminate nuclearweapons; and the inimitable Sister Jeannine Gramick,who is ghting for acceptance of gays and lesbians in theCatholic Church.

During a time when American nuns are under at-tack from the very institution to which they pledge, thesesisters offer inspiring, provocative counterstories that aresure to spark debate. Overthrowing our popular percep-tion of nuns as killjoy schoolmarms content to live in theannals of nostalgia, Piazza denes them instead as themost vigorous catalysts of change in an otherwise con-stricting patriarchy.

Many basics that the people in Gowrie and the U.S.take for granted are not available in Tanzania. Tanza-nia Girls, while on their menstrual cycle, cannot attendschool because feminine hygiene products are not avail-able. Diane Boerner and Barb Tucker are two ladies that

are trying to help change that. They have sewn more than200 J-pads. A J-pad is basically a washable, reusablemaxi-pad. By using these pads the girls do not have tomiss a week of class each month. There is also a demandfor J-pads in the hospitals.

Anybody can help. Trips like this are open to any-body that would like to help. Terry said she is willing todo talks with groups to explain how to help and about herexperiences.

Run-down farm A farmer purchases an old, run-down, aban-doned farm with plans to turn it into a thriving enterprise.The elds are grown over with weeds, the farmhouse isfalling apart, and the fences are collapsing all around. During his rst day of work, the town preach-

er stops by to bless the man’s work, saying, “May youand God work together to make this the farm of yourdreams.” A few months later, the preacher stops by againto call on the farmer. Low and behold! It’s like a com-pletely different place - the farm house is completely re-built and in excellent condition, there are plenty of cattleand other livestock happily munching on feed in well-fenced pens, and the elds are lled with crops plantedin neat rows. “Amazing!” the preacher says. “Look whatGod and you have accomplished together.” “Yes, Reverend,” says the farmer, “but remem-ber what the farm was like when God was working italone.”Ag convention Two farmers meet up in a bar during a agricul-

tural convention. One from PA the other from TX... PA: Back home I got a 40 acre spread! TX: Aw, heck you ain’t got nothin’ - why myspread in Texas is so big that I get in my pickup in themorning and I don’t get to the other side of my ranchuntil the sun goes down!
