By Jill Viles Capital projects of the south wing of the PV

High School were discussed at the April 20 meeting ofthe PV School Board.

It’s been proposed the ICN room be updated.This may involve removing a wall and updating win-dows, as well as other changes. An architect was as-signed to produce drawings of proposed projects. Thedistrict requested the plans merge the old with the new.

However, when the architect came to discusspotential changes, he was concerned that if the districtcompletes just a partial renovation at this time, this couldlead to a serious design error and would require goingback and re-doing some of the work.

It was decided the district should wait one moresummer before making a decision, and then bid out forthe work. Phone calls are acceptable in terms of seek-ing information regarding the bidding process, but it waspointed out that the district should request many bids andalso place an advertisement in the paper. “We’ve got to have the community behind it,”said board member Joe Harrison. Irwin concurred. “It’s time to step back. It’s

just too tight a schedule right now.” Willardson offered she’d like to see the buildingfund up first.Building Trades class The Building Trades course is seeking a mem-ber of the community wishing to have a home built bystudents from the community. If an interested individualis not found, the class will participate in a renovationproject, but the district strongly prefers to pursue a housebuilding project. Previously, two parties have come for-ward, but backed out in the planning process. Board member, Gary Welter, inquired how aprevious year’s spec house worked out. A spec houseis a home constructed without an owner and designed toattract a buyer. “Not well,” said Harrison who is also a city

In the Gowrie police report at the Gowrie CityCouncil meeting it was noted that one dog in Gowrie hasbeen declared a “vicious dog,” and the owner has beenasked to remove the dog from city limits. This admonish-ment did not sit well with the son of the resident, and hewants to fight the order. In other police news, social media has been be-

ing utilized to remind residents about junk

days. It is hoped that through frequentreminders, people will make sureto discard junk during this annual

event. Police Chief Monaghan hasalso been speaking to residentswith junk cars on their property inadvance of “Junk Days.” The Gowrie Police Depart-ment hopes to show off their

new patrol car during this year’s Fourth of July festivi-ties. Approximately $40,000 has been approved for thispurchase, and the city plans to take out a five year loan.Discussion continued on the fate of the department’s Ex-plorer.

council member. “The city held onto the property forthree years.” “I sure hope someone steps up by the nextmeeting,” said Irwin.

The district would like to let those potentiallyinterested in this endeavor, that partaking in this type ofarrangement can lead to a 30% reduction in construc-tion costs. This can be quite an attractive situation for apotential buyer. Also, it was noted that the family thatparticipated in the home building project in a previousyear has expressed they were pleased with the results.School District purchasesooring cleaning machine The high school custodians have requested amachine to facilitate the cleaning of floors. Currently,a product must be used that removes wax from the floorbefore it is cleaned, but this machine can complete thework of wax removal and cleaning in a single step resultin a decrease of 50-75% if the time it takes to wax andclean floors. Additionally, this saves the district $1,000a year in cleaning products. The board approved the$3,114 price for this machine.Other business Moving on to other discussion, the 2016-2017academic calendar was discussed. It was noted thatpeople are most concerned about when in-service dayswill fall, and there has been a definite preference for fulldays for in-service rather than half days. Irwin noted thecalendar reflects this preference as there is only one half-day professional development day. Board member Gary Welter suggested thaton previous conference days there have been teachersunavailable at conference time because they are assist-ing with an extra-curricular activity. He suggested theteachers should be available for conference days. Next, it was agreed to keep the majority ofschool funds with Security Savings Bank. Each year the

district is asked to pass a depository resolution. It wasnoted previous loan rates have hovered around 1% andthe board is pleased with this. “They’ve [Security Savings Bank] has treatedus well,” remarked Shannon Miller. The list of the 78 candidates to be graduatedfrom Southeast Valley was presented and approved. Elementary school principal, Jim Duncan, re-ported that Prairie Valley Elementary has been nameda STEM certified coding partner. This means studentshave been taught to make a computer program by tellingthe computer what to do. Additionally, Mr. Duncan reported 45 kinder-gartners have enrolled in kindergarten, but he typicallysees more enrollees in May and later in July.

What should I do ifI suspect a naturalgas leak? – Jared asked us

That’s an important question, Jared. Natural gas has an excellent safety record, but faulty

appliances, misuse and other incidents can cause

a leak. To help detect leaks, we add an odorant to

natural gas before sending it to our customers. Most

people compare the odor to the smell of rotten eggs

or some other distinctive odor.

If you think you smell natural gas:

• Get everyone out of the building immediately

— leave the door open as you exit.

• Once outside, call 911 or the emergency

number below.

• As you leave, don’t touch light switches, electrical

appliances, phones or doors and windows. A spark

of static electricity could ignite a leak.

• Wait well away from the building for emergency

personnel.

If you think you smell natural gas, leave

immediately and call 911 or our 24-hour

emergency number: 800-694-8989.

It is a small world. . .

I dropped off some residency forms at theDreamland Villa office early last week here in Mesa, AZ.One form was completed by my mother and I completedthe form for my household which totals one person (me). As I was returning to my vehicle to drive homea man from the vehicle behind me asked, “Where do youlive in Webster County?” “Dayton,” I stated, and then I walked over tothis man in his SUV. I noticed he had an Iowa license plate also withDallas County in print. His name was Dean Miller. Dean and his wifeConnie were planning to drive back to Iowa that day.The Millers had stopped to alert the Dreamland possethat they would gone and therefore the posse would bewatching their home along with their neighbors.

Dean and Connie live close to Perry, IA, in Dal-las County. Ironically, the Millers live on East DallasStreet in Dreamland Villa, five streets south from myresidential street and just two streets from my mother’shome. “I do know one other Miller family from ourarea in Iowa and that is the Dale/Kay Miller family from

Gowrie,” I said. “Oh I know Dale very well,” said Dean. “Wearen’t related, but I was involved with Dale in the Perryhog buying station for some years. I used to meet withDale there at 5 a.m.” It is a small world indeed. Dean asked if I had joined the HOA plan atDreamland. It is now optional for residents. “Yes, I ama member,” I told Dean.

Dean said they were also members. “It is a greatdeal and everyone should be a member,” Dean stated. It is quite a deal which includes many amenitiesincluding heated pools, hot tubs, pickleball, etc. I tell

people that the fee is $175. Some people think that sumis a little high for one month. Then I explain that fee isfor an entire year. Dean talked a little about Dale’s family and howthey had interacted over the years. It was good to hearfrom another Iowa native. There are many Iowans wholive in Arizona over the winter and also many who live inArizona all year.≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

One of the fine “feel good” stories occurredmore than a week ago in Arizona. A 72 year-old womanfrom Tuscan was traveling to Phoenix to celebrate herbirthday.

Instead of taking I-10 to Phoenix (2-3 hourdrive), she drove through the High country going towards

Show Low. She got lost, ran out of gas, and was in theArizona desert wilderness with nothing in the vicinity. For nine days she was with her small dog. Shehad no food or water. She survived by eating berries andsome desert plants. She found a creek in the foothills ofthe mountains and had water. She left a note which was found by authorities.

She tried in vain to get re-ception on her cell phone;every ridge, every newplateau did not yield cellphone communication. She found a deadelk and using its horns shecarved the word help. Shealso used stones and sticksto write help in a barrenarea of one canyon. Ann Rodgerswas rescued by the Ari-zona Department of PublicSafety. The DPS helicop-ter had landed at one of herHelp signs. Underneath arock was note saying shewas out of food and waterand was heading down thecanyon. Father down thecanyon the crew spottedwhat seemed to be a shelterused by Rodgers and afterrounding a bend in the can-yon they spotted Ann wav-ing her arms.≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

Canteen Cafe Fire...

Dear Editor:

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

Some time afterward, the Canteen burned downand was destroyed. Could you please tell me the date ofthe fire and, if possible, could you send me any informa-tion on the fire?

I was in the military during those years andknow nothing of it except that it actually happened. The restaurant occupied only one half of thefirst story of the building. The other half was pretty muchempty except for a stack of folding chairs and miscella-neous stuff.

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

Since they held their meetings there, their mem-

bers would have been veryaware of the fire.

There may nolonger be any Legionmembers who were activeat that time, but I suspecteven younger memberswould have picked upmany stories about the firefrom older guys who wereLegionairs at the time of

the fire. A d d i t i o n a l l y ,American Legion recordsor logs or histories mightvery well have had good,complete records of theloss of their meeting place. Thanks verymuch for anything you cansend or anything you mightremember of that loss.

Sincerely,Ray Shaw - Merriam, KS

“There is a foolish corner in the brain of the wis-est man.” That is one of Aristotle’s astute sayings and Itrust it means “mankind” and thus a woman too. Oftenwhen a thought or memory comes into my mind I jot alittle note on whatever is handy at the place I happen to

be. When those scraps of paper or jottings on the backof a magazine or puzzle book begin to pile up I deem ittime to rescue and use them or toss out as trivia unworthyof further consideration. In this presentation I will sharesome of those I chose to save and at the end you willprobably say some of them should have gone with theothers, One “orphan” note said “Green window blindson spring rollers”. Who else is still around who remem-bers such things? Especially in old farm houses you notonly put up curtains or drapes but window blinds whichyou could roll up or down. They served several purposes.One obvious one was privacy, especially at night whenthe lamps were lit or lights turned on. They provided notonly shade from the sun if it were a window where it camein brightly; they provided insulation from blowing winds

as many windows were not as tight as the new ones of to-day. They also kept the drapes or curtains from sun fad-ing or at least helped some. If it was a window that wouldopen in the summer the blind was rolled completely upand the curtains/drapes pulled back by ties or slid way tothe side on their rods. The roller that held the blinds hadsprings in them that automatically (if good ones) wouldallow one to give a little jerk and the blind would roll up.The original ones I remember were very dark green, sup-posedly a color that would keep it warmer and also betterprotect the other window coverings. Eventually “decor”crept in and the blind material became more pliable andmuch lighter in color from tan down to white.

Green blinds and Ice Cream . . .treatment but living in an apartment one has to abide bythe “rules” for a uniform presentation to the outside. Oh,well --- I am glad the old dark green blinds are way inthe past. Another thing I have wondered about – Does

anyone remember going to or through Ogden and stop-ping for a good double dip homemade ice cream cone?It was a place toward the west end (then) of the businessdistrict on old Highway 30. My recollection is that itwas at the locker plant and they had a window you couldwalk up to, perhaps even drive up. While I am not com-pletely sure of the shop location I am positive about thedeliciousness of that ice cream and the fact they carriedtwo flavors that were not the “run of the mill” vanilla,chocolate or strawberry though they had them too. Thosetwo specials were orange-pineapple and tutti-fruiti. Or-ange-pineapple, my favorite, was not sherbet but real icecream and simply luscious. I don’t recall ever gettingthat flavor any place else. The tutti-fruiti was to becomea commercial flavor but I haven’t seen it in years. It wasmuch later in my life that I would become “addicted” to

Boyd’s ice cream in either Boone or Ames, even thoughI had heard about Boyd’s for years. They were good butthat orange-pineapple was very special. At the time we were enjoying that good icecream many people still had ice boxes in the corner oftheir kitchens or in their basements. But gradually peo-ple began to get electric refrigerators (especially follow-ing WWII) but they only had small freezer sections tohold a few trays of ice cubes which was a real treat forsummer koolade and tea, etc. While there were a numberof manufacturers of the “electric ice boxes”, Frigidairewas the popular brand and most people called all refrig-erators “Frigidaire”. It was some time later that freezertops came into use so going out for ice cream was a spe-cial treat or going to Westeen’s and buying only whatthe family could eat immediately or better yet, a freezer

of homemade ice cream was great. Boxholm had no icehouse so that alternative was usually left to the churchice cream socials. Remember them? Yummmmmm. The readers who don’t remember the old icecream days mentioned herein, you really missed out onsome great times and great eating. Let me or The Re-view know if you can clue me in on the Ogden ice cream.Right now that burgundy cherry-chocolate in my freezeris beckoning me.

SV Students pictured from left to right are Mackenzie Crampton, Jaidyn Rowley, Erin Zeka, Viatris Scott, andMason Goodwin who competed in the 2016 National History Day State Competition in Des Moines.

On Monday, April 25, five SV students compet-ed in Des Moines at the 2016 National History Day statecompetition. The theme for this year was “Exploration,Encounter, Exchange in History.”

Erin Zeka competed with a documentary titled“Japanese-American Internment: When Words weren’tEnough.”

Viatris Scott, Jaidyn Rowley, MackenzieCrampton and Mason Goodwin created the website “Sig-nal Corps: Exploration in Wartime Communication”.

These students have done major research to

learn about their topics and how their topics are signifi-cant 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 ad-vance.

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

These students did outstanding research andrepresented SV in a very professional and distinctive per-formance. They are to be congratulated for their efforts.

Through working on their projects, studentslearned innumerable research skills. They also learnedhow to use computer programs with which they created

the documentary and website. The website is located at http://53371609.nhd.weebly.com/ The documentary can be seen at: https://youtu.be/MFcGRz9mzDM.

Wendell family history...Dear Editor,

Could you please provide me with informationon my relatives in Gowrie, Iowa. Here is all the informa-tion that I have.

If you could please let me know under what cir-cumstances 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 April28, 1878; Amelie Christina DOB April 1, 1878 - DODNovember 8, 1878. Also, any information on what that area of Iowawas like around 1878.

It is sometimes hard to imagine the conditionsthat people lived in during those times. I have beenworking on family history for a few years and comeacross these sad stories of such loss, yet they carry on.

The relationship of the Wendell family isthrough my mother Judith Willis (Querin). Her grand-father Robert Willis married Anna Vendel/Wendell. Vendel is the Swedish spelling and during this

time the family name was probably Vendel then Wendeland 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 ap-proximately May 1875. Jon (John) bought an 80 acrefarm in 1883 southeast of Gowrie and built a house. Jon Vendel/Wendell DOB January 3, 1837Borrby, Sweden. DOD April, 4, 1926 in Iowa.

1873 Jon Wendell Immigrated to the U.S. fromBorrby, Sweden.

Wife, Elna (Lassesdotter Wendell). DOB No-vember 17, 1838 Sweden. DOD January 2, 1908 inIowa. 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 Jon’s 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.

“Therefore encourage oneanother and build each other up.”

1 Thessalonians 5:11 God wants us to help one another. Why? Be-cause that is what He wants us to do. We need people in ourlives to encourage us, and we need to encourage the peoplein 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 oppor-tunities to encourage thosearound us. God gives usmany and varied ways ofencouraging people.

We can do our en-

couraging with a kind wordor a simple written note. Inwhatever way we can , weneed to help those around usto do a better job of doingthings for others, and there-fore we both will be doingwhat God wants us to do.

If we are ‘build-ers’ of people, and help oth-ers to fulfill their dreams –not only will they be happy,but so will God. Wheneverwe work with God we willhave our dreams fulfilledand we will be living in

God’s blessing all of our re-maining days.Prayer: Thank

You, Lord, for giving uspeople that not only encour-age us, but for giving usopportunities to encouragethose around us. In JesusHoly Name, Amen

Sgt. Vernon E. Swanson has arrived in Franceafter having been in England a month. When the let-ter was written, September 3, he was living in a tent.Selmer Lennarson is in a medical detachment of the sameunit while Sgt. Eldon Danielson and Pvt. Duane Smith ofHarcourt, are also in the same division. Vernon thorough-ly 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 downand wrote to you concerning another one of Gowrie’sG.I.’s. And today marks the completion of my first yearin the U.S. Army, so it is fitting that I sit down in my tentand pass on a few of my experiences during the past sev-eral months. After I left Virginia Military Institute and saidgoodbye to ASTP, I landed at Indiantown Gap MilitaryReservation where I stayed from March to the middle ofJuly - one of my many transferred into the 95th Inf. Di-vision. I guess I was a little more fortunate than the restin that I became Communications Sergeant of my unit.While stationed there, I visited Washington , D.C., NewYork, Philadelphia, and spent three weeks in the West

Virginia mountains - and, best of all, a ten day furloughin Gowrie. Selmer Lennarson is in this outfit and we’vehad many good talks, though I haven’t seen him of late.The last two months we were trained and equipped foroverseas, so it was no surprise when we pulled out for aneastern P.O.E. I enjoyed an uneventful but interesting trip toEngland, where we were placed in barracks for about amonth. During this time we were privileged to visit quitea few places of importance - and I really made the mostof such opportunities. There are four of us fellows in mycompany who chum around together continually, and Idon’t believe any other group saw as much of England aswe did in the time we stayed there. In our pass to London,we covered nearly every historic spot and experiencedthings that can only be experienced in London. These

people and their country impressed me very much, and Icertainly hope I can return there again and see more of it. At present I am in my little tent in a field some-where in France. We’re living outdoors all the time, andpersonally I like it except for crawling out on these frostymornings. To date our schedule permits us to participatein sports most of the day, but what lies ahead we have noidea. We take advantage of evenings and Sundays to getaround and see our section of France, and I have enough

Vernon E. Swanson Crosses to France As appeared in The Gowrie News, October 12, 1944...

reading and speaking knowledge of French to get alongenough to enjoy this country that much more. Yep, I’ve completed a year in the army, and Ican truthfully say it’s been a great experience, and I’mlooking forward to the rest of it. Of course I’m lookingforward to also getting home, but there’s a job to be done,and until it is completed, I aim to make the most of mov-

ing from one interesting place to another and seeing thosethings I’ve always wanted to see.I haven’t received a Gowrie News since I ar-

rived over here, so feel a little behind times concerningthe good old home town. But you can bet I’ll appreciateeach issue all the more Regards to all who make Gowrie the place tocome home to.Vernon
