SV band in State Jazz Championships...The Southeast Valley Jazz Band, under the direction of Mrs. Dianna Hanna, placed fourth in the state Class 2A Iowa

Jazz Championships.

SV boys win third track meet of year

A total team effort on Friday night at Lake City lead the Southeast Valley boys track and field team to their third varsity meet title of the season. The Jaguars 170 points outdistanced conference foes South Central Calhoun (130 pts) and East Sac County (113 pts). The Jaguars JV team also competed in the varsity meet and finished 8th place with 12 points.

The key to winning any track meet is being able to double up points in the individual events and score high in the relays. The Jaguars did both on Friday night having two place winners in nine of the twelve individual events and place four of the six relays in the top two.

The Jaguars were able to capture 6 individual gold medals in the meet on Friday night. These were Skylar Warehime (discus - 141 4), Spencer Warehime (3200m - 10:01.42), Nolan Johnson (400m - 53.46), Shane Promes (110m hh - 17.01), Cade King (400m LH - 58.68), and Jacob DeBaun (800m - 2:10.82). Spencer Warehime also set the meet record in the 3200m run that was previously held by SWGs Cooper and PVs Bond.

The 1600m medley relay of Zeke Miller, Aaron Swieter, Shane Promes, and Nolan Johnson ran a time of 3:50.43 and the 4 x 100m relay of Keaton Jondle, Cade King, Carter Steck and Aaron Swieter to win their respec-tive relays.

Runner - up finishers for the Jaguars were Shane Promes (high jump - 5 6), Keaton Jondle (100m - 11.92; 200m - 24.27), and Carter Steck (400m - 54.90). Also claiming silver medals for the Jaguars was the 4 x 800m relay team of Noah Tucker, Jacob DeBaun, Tom Nahnsen and Malachi Swanson and the 4 x 400m relay of Cameron Anderson, Nolan Johnson, Shane Promes and Cade King. The relays ran 9:07.71 and 3:38.97 respectively.

Noah Tucker (800m - 2:12.96) and Malachi Swanson (1600m - 5:09.76) brought home bronze med-als while Patrick Breitsprecher (1600m - 5:17.72), Jalen Fuss (110m HH - 17.91), Aaron Swieter (long jump - 16 1/75) and Cade King (100m - 12.06) finished fourth in their respective races. Fifth place finishes for the Jaguars were Bryce Gustafson (3200m - 11:13.79) and Cameron Anderson (400m LH - 1:04.65). Keenan Ferry (discus - 107 7) and Carter Steck (200m dash - 24.66) each scored a point finishing 6th.

Carter, Cameron, Jalen and Daven Rees ran a 1:12.28 in the shuttle hurdle relay and finished in 3rd place while the 4 x 200m relay team of Zeke Miller, Aar-on Swieter, Tom Nahnsen and Caleb Hemmestad finished 4th.

A handful of JV runners also competed in the Varsity meet and were able to place as well. Todd Ham-ilton was the highest place finisher with a 4th place fin-ish and a season best time of 2:21.17. Caleb Hemmestad picked up a pair of 6th place finishes in the 100m dash (12.25) and the 200m dash (24.79). Tom Nahnsen fin-ished 6th place in the 400m low hurdles with a time of 1:06.58. The 4 x 400m relay team of Ryan Gustafson, Lucas Pontius, Patrick Breitsprecher and Hillary Odhi-ambo finished 4th running 4:06.06.

The Jaguars look to close out the regular track season on Thursday, May 14th at their state qualifying meet at Holstein. Both running and field events will be-gin at 4pm that day. The top two in each event and the next best 8 from around the state will qualify for the Iowa High School State track and field meet the following weekend in Des Moines.

By Joe LeValley, Dayton High School Class of 1971Walking onto the stage at the old gym in Dayton

on May 28, 2011 was one of the hardest things Ive ever done. I literally was shaking as I picked up my guitar and faced a room filled with people attending the Alumni Banquet.

My nervousness was founded on two very big things. First, we had just buried my father, John (Jack) LeValley, that morning. I loved my dad dearly and was emotionally drained after his illness, death and funeral. Secondly, I was about to play, for the first time in public, an original song I had written about attending school in Dayton.

I also loved the school and many of the people sitting

in the room that night, and desperately wanted to get through the song without too many mistakes, or tears.

Many people discouraged me from performing that night, saying everyone would understand. However, on the stage beside me was my lifelong friend and musical partner Don Myers. He is a far better musician than me, and his presence gave me the confidence to continue.

What I said to the audience was, I know many of you think Im crazy to attempt this song tonight. How-ever, I think this is the perfect night to perform it be-cause when I mess this up youre all going to be very understanding. The comment evoked a few chuckles, and then we were off, performing All the Worlds From Dayton Tonight.

I have been blessed to be invited back each year since, to sing the song at the Alumni Banquet. Assuming I avoid the flu or some other malady, I plan to be return May 23 to perform it again. Being primarily a drummer and having very little formal musical training, I have no illusions about being a great guitar player, nor a great songwriter. However, I do know the song emerged from my genuine affection for the people and places of Dayton, and from my many wonderful memo-ries growing up there.

I have been asked to provide the lyrics of the song, so the current version is included below. I hope you enjoy the song, and I hope to see you all at the Alumni Banquet on May 23.

My feisty mother. . . My mother in Wisconsin was having some problems with balance, dizziness and not feeling well last fall. She went to her doctors in Eau Claire, WI, and after several weeks of futility she was exasperated. We (my siblings, Mom and me) decided that it would best for her to go to the Mayo Clinic. After all, my feisty mother isnt very patient. On the first day the Mayo team appeared to be on the right path. My brother Jim and my sister Kimber-ly went with my mother several times to the Mayo clinic where the medical team interviewed her extensively and did all sorts of tests. Youll need open heart surgery, one doctor advised her. You have a muscle protruding over a valve and the muscle needs to be altered and you need a new valve. When do you want the operation? Tomorrow, said my mother without blinking an eye. The Mayo team smiled, and my brother Jim and sister Kim were laughing. The operation was scheduled for Dec. 2. Jim went with my mother to the Mayo Clinic multiple times during late October and early November. Kimberly also was there several times and my brother Denis generally stayed in Altoona (adjacent to Eau Claire) where he lives with Mom. He handled the home situation which in-cludes their pet Yorky, Raji (named after a Packer foot-ball player). All through this process Jim was giving me many updates in long phone conversations. On Dec. 2 Mom had her operation. We were all there that week (brothers Denis and Jim, sister Kim and me). It was wonderful to watch my mother recover so well and then to visit with my siblings. We are very close to one another even though we dont see each other too often. My sister Kimberly is a motel manager in New Richmond, WI, where she lives with husband Paul and

SV at Gowrie vs. Clarion-Goldfield Dows: The Lady Jags were defeated 201-239. Sage Mickalski led the Jags at 55, Tiffany Blunk and Abby Anderlik shot 61. Kenne-dy Gallentine carded 62. Marydith Barkley shot 66 and Courtney Shirbroun 73. JV was also defeated 267-304. They were led by Zoey Shipley at 72. Lexee Nelson shot 75, Shawna Andrews 77, Morgan Jackson 80 and Meryl Moeller 88. Coach Blunk commentedwe did not play well. We shot our highest team total of the year by a wide margin. Hopefully we will play better in our next meet.

SEV at Twin Lakes vs. South Central Calhoun:The Lady Jags finished 2nd with a team total 206 with South Central Calhoun at 183. Sage Michalski led the Jags earning runner up medalist honors at 43. Abby Anderlik carded a solid 51 with Kennedy Gallentine and Mary-dith Barkley at 56. Tiffany Blunk shot 60 and Courtney Shirbroun 65. The Jags Conference record stands at 2-2 and 4-3 overall. Coach Blunk commented we played OK but can do much better. We are still inconsistent.

Lady Jaguars win five-team invitationalIm optimistic if we keep working hard we will put it all together.

SEV at Dayton Invitational: The Lady Jags won the 5 team Southeast Valley Invitational with a team total 237. Greene County finished 2nd at 240, Ogden 3rd with 241, Sioux Central 4th at 264 and Glidden Ralston 5th with 331. Kennedy Gallentine earned runner medalist honors at 56 and Tiffany Blunk 5th medalist with 58. Abby An-derlik shot 60, Sage Michalski 63 and Marydith Barkley 75.

Coach Blunk commented it was a very cold and windy day but we were fortunate to get the meet in and come away with a win. My hat is off to the girls who fought the weather and wet conditions to pull it off. I am very proud of the girls. They have never complained and have been extremely fun to work with. Its just a great mix of kids who like to play the game. I felt we had a chance to win if we played to our capabilities. Consider-ing the weather we were pretty close today, but Im confi-dent we can shot better. Dayton is a very difficult course. Id like to thank Bob Runge and the club house staff for the great service theyve provided.

The Lady Jags hosted East Sac Monday at Gowrie and traveled to Manson Thursday in Conference match-ups. The Jags currently stand at 2-2 in Conference play and 4-3 overall.

Macke Gowrie owner says dealership has had great first yearIst Birthday Sale begins May 6-11...

Macke Gowrie will celebrate its First Birthday Sale from Wednesday, May 6, to Monday, May 11, and owner Gus Macke announced last week that the first year of do-ing business in Gowrie has been a big success.

We are very happy with our first year in Gowrie, said Gus. We sold more new vehicles than I thought we would. And our used car business has been good.

Gus attributed some of the success to his staff. Our employees are great to work with and they have done a very good job. And Gowrie is a wonderful community.

The service department has also been excellent for Macke Gowrie. Andy Pepples, head technician and ser-vice manager, has provided very good service. Service business has increased and a few weeks ago Macke

Gowrie hired Wade Gilliland, an ICCC auto tech grad, as a service technician. Wade and his wife have moved to a home in Callender.

Our service business is better than I thought it would be, said Gus.

When we bought the Gowrie facility in late 2013 and renovated the complex I had certain expectations, said Gus. After one year I can truthfully say that we did much better than I thought we would do.

We have a very good manager, Reggie Kopecky, who resides in Farnhamville. Reggie has given us good leadership, said Gus.

In some ways I didnt know what we could expect in Gowrie. Lets just say that we achieved more than what we expected.

Gus stated that retaining Greg Benson (owner of Benson Motors) has worked out well. Greg is our foun-dation. He works so well with people.

First Birthday SaleGowrie Macke will have more than 300 used cars

available for sale at Macke Gowrie during the First Birth-day Sale. Special financing will be offered. There will be service specials. And the dealership will be open to 9 p.m. during the promotion.

I am so pleased with our business in Gowrie and with the Gowrie community, emphasized Gus.

After extensive renovation Macke Gowrie opened in the spring of 2014. One year later they are celebrating their first anniversary with a gigantic sale.

The cost is $25 per ticket. Donations also are welcome.

Alumni Banquet registrations are due;volunteers needed for the May 23 event

The theme for the event this year is Dayton Tigers MVP, according to organizer Judy Nemechek Heidner, DHS Class of 1972. Judy has been chair of the event for the past eight years. She said the food this year will be excellent and the event will be a lot of fun.

As in the past, the banquet will include a catered meal, recognition of special class celebrations, a remem-brance of alumni who have died during the past year, a performance by Joe LeValley of his original song, All the Worlds from Dayton Tonight (See related article), and other activities.

To register, email Heidner at [email protected]. Be sure to include your contact information.

Whether attending the banquet or not, alumni and other area residents are encouraged to assist with the setup and cleanup for the event. Setup begins in the gym on Thursday evening, May 21, and continues on Friday and Saturday.

Cleanup occurs im-mediately after the banquet and on Sunday afternoon. To get more specific infor-mation or to let Heidner know of your willingness to help, please contact her at the email above.

The Alumni Banquet has been a big event and a significant part of the DHS tradition for many years. As the number of DHS alumni diminishes, orga-nizers have acknowledged the format may need to change.

Suggestions for al-ternative approaches and locations are being solic-ited. Volunteers to chair or co-chair the event for next year also are needed.

Because this years banquet may be one of the last of its kind, alumni are especially encouraged to attend.

Favorite Dayton teachers include Art Rosman, Elsie Peterson, Leona KlingLyle McCartner, others recalled by Dayton grads. . .Part 5

Part Five: Several Dayton grads from the late 1950s and early sixties gathered in late March at the Arizona home of Jim and Dorothy Nelson. They an-swered 23 questions on their memories of growing up in Dayton. Those Dayton grads included Joyce Kalkwarf Erickson, Mary Williams McCullough, Richard Johnson, Chuck Danielson, Alan Johnson, Dick Liljegren, Linda Williams Bircher, Rita Williams Hauge, Susan Sandholm Ohge, and Jim Nelson (who left Dayton after the eighth grade with his family.

Jim Nelson was the moderator and discus-sion leaders were Chuck Danielson, Linda Williams Bircher, and Dorothy Nelson.

JN: Okay. Recall anything you especially liked at your church. Linda?

LB: Well, Susan and Mary mentioned the NYF again, and the choir in church. I mentioned I loved walk-ing to church with my brothers and sisters on Sunday, because there were a bunch of us, of course, and we were not allowed to argue or fight at all on the way to church, so we were good.

But it was delightful. I liked the singing, too. Mary mentioned that when she first moved to Dayton, the first thing she did before she even went to school, right Mary? Attend church and you made two friends, myself and Beth. And we went over to your house.

LB: You mentioned providing services for

DN: Somebody mentioned Luther League. Wednesday night family night once a month at their church, and junior mission band, where you rolled ban-dages, and Ladies Aid. You would go there for food after school.

Anything that was left over, the kids could have. RJ: Tuna fish sandwiches. CD: Thats what Rich mentioned, was Ladies

Aid sandwiches. I dont know if you happened to drift up there after school every day after Ladies Aid and cleaned them out? Bible school, Luther League, the youth groups,

and then weve got down goofing around in the bal-cony, and Ive got to add a little bit to that one.

I remember that was when Reuben Carlson was there, and Dave and I and Carson and Calcorf and Bob Slife, I suppose, I dont remember for sure. But we were all in the balcony and we were all goofing around. Im sure it was that preacher kid that was causing the prob-lem.

But we were having a high-ho time pinching and jumping around and doing whatever. All of a sudden

I realize, man, it is quiet in here. And Reuben was in the pulpit, and he wasnt saying a word, he was just looking up in the balcony. If I had a saw, we would have went through the floor and got out of there.

And we got a talking to from Reuben and we got a talking to from Dad and Mom when we got home, too.

RJ: Do you recall in the balcony in the Lutheran church, all the carvings that were on the old benches up there?

CD: Yep, there were. RJ: It probably goes back to the 1880s or 90s

or whatever. But when they built the church they just put the

old pews up My brother went to confirmation class with Dar-

ryl Haab, and he used to tell me stories Evidently Darryl didnt listen a lot. (Laughter----supportive laugher) RJ: ?? and I were the only two boys in our con-

firmation class. The rest were all girls. And it used to be 2 or 3 hours on Saturday morning. I can remember read-ing Bible verses in there. And one and I think maybe it was Rita Peterson. And the word circumcision was in there. And they asked Pastor Carlson what circumcision was.

And you know he had red hair and his face got about the same color. And finally he mumbled, well its the rite performed on Jewish males. Didnt tell us any-thing. But I guarantee everyone went and got the diction-ary.

Jim Nelson: Okay, who do you like visiting with in Dayton?

Linda Williams B: Susan mentioned that she and Larry especially like visiting with Chuck and Linda. And Mary mentioned family and classmates. And Rita and I mentioned, well of course, we still have a brother there. So thats the way we answered that.

Dorothy Nelson: Jim mentioned visiting Chuck and Linda (Danielson), and going to the coffee club at 8:00 in the morning and 3:00 in the afternoon. And then Jim and Jerry would stop to see Ivan Skogland.

Jim N: And MaryLou. JN: Well, we would stop over there and visit

with him. Chuck D: I have absolutely nothing written

down. Al used to stop quite often when you would go back when the folks were still here.

RJ: My favorite visit if you want to really catch up on all the local Dayton news, talk to Bob Hoyer. He can really tell you everything. We were joking about this yesterday. Bob is an institution. Hes one of the caregiv-ers. Hes in his mid 80s, Im guessing.

JN: Okay, who from Dayton had a large in-fluence in your life?

LB: Well this is where Mary, this is where you mentioned Pauline Williams. This is where Ive got it here.

Because of her writing notes to anyone that was ill or lonely, notes about every other day. And Mary and

Linda mentioned Mr. Carter for opportunities to per-form that he afforded us.

RJ: In retrospect, and this is not in any way to diminish the activities you took part in, but from a con-structive standpoint, we did learn a lot from Donald Cart-er.

In terms of taking initiative, and the musical, and the swing shows and the band concerts and all that stuff. And thats one of these tragic situations, where what could have been a totally positive legacy, he turned into a virtually 100% negative legacy.

DN: Pastor Carlson, BP Peterson, and JJ Jor-ganson, both of whom were superintendents, which was a surprise that - (XXX) oh, I see.

LB: Okay, Rita mentioned the Dayton Review, because of the reporting skills that were illustrated and the variety of articles. I mentioned I cant think of her last name. She wore an apron and sunbonnet, she grew

vegetables in her yard RJ: Ellie Peterson? LB: She had two sons and she pulled her veg-

etables around in her red wagon. It was Mrs. Olson. LB: Thats who it is. CD: Wasnt she known as Popcorn Olson? LB: Susan mentioned Luella Johnson, and Isaa-

csons, being so friendly and so hard-working. I men-tioned the Popcorn Lady, and again I dont have a name.

RJ: She and Rudy Bergland were the perpetual couple. They never got married.

They were engaged CD: They went steady a long time. LB: Do you know who was the popcorn lady in

the theater? Mrs. Borgeberg. LB: Oh! She was really kind to the kids at the

movie theatre there. And she saved the old maids. ??... And then she would give them away after the movie was over. There were some that were still good. Oh, nobody

knows about this but me. The cuckoo man, was someone in our neighborhood that had cuckoo clocks.

And we would go to his door spontaneously we would talk about what we were going to do well, lets go see the cuckoo man. And he would let us in and he had a variety of cuckoo clocks, and we got to watch them all as they sounded. Do you remember where Magnussons lived? It was across the street.

Was that Stark? CD: Verner

Stark? Verner Stark had

the time thing LB: Oh, no, it

wasnt him then. RJ: And hes

the one that filmed all the activities that took place on Main Street. He lived there and had an elevated view The rumor was, which Im sure got blown out of proportion, but all this was filmed. And a true story, I remember my grandparents came back from a trip to Tennessee, and they brought a bottle of honey, but it was a rep-lica of a whiskey bottle.

To test the theory about Verner Stark, when they finished the honey we took some Coke-a-Cola and some 7-Up and mixed

A mothers love in a quiltNot long ago I rediscovered a letter my Mom had

written to me in 1986. It was a birthday letter accompany-ing her gift to me. That gift was a quilt, hand sewn/hand quilted, made especially for me. With Mothers Day nearing I share her words ---

Dear Daughter -- As I set and embroidered the blocks for this quilt and then as I put it together and as I quilted stitch after stitch so many memories of you came through my mind. The day you were born. Oh what a happy day for your dad and I when you were layed in my arms & Dr. Sayer said, You have a beautiful baby girl. I had a long labor & your Aunt Beulah, Uncle Pearl, Aunt Louva and Uncle Lew & Aunt Vern & Uncle Everett came before the day was over to see what was matter. You were born 7 oclock on Sunday eve. Grandma Barnett & Dad was with Dr. all the way. Grandma stayed a month with us. Even tho she wasnt well. The next day Dr. Sayer came by to see us & told us some neighbor across field had a baby boy that night would have liked a little girl so ask if we would trade & we said no not for all the boys in the world. We just want our baby girl.

Then we rejoiced when you got your first tooth and when you said dad da for first time and when you took your first step. When we left you at Aunty Mable & Uncle Freds when we went to Marshalltown and Grandma Bar-nett passed away. When we came home they had taught you to tell everyone that they were the Dutch of Sauer-kraut. Then when you went to Sunday School and came home singing A Fish in Ever Pan. I asked the teacher and she laughed and said it was Missionary Band. Your first day of school we were out at Jess & Mary Craw-fords taking care of farm while they were in California and it was raining and I wouldnt let you ride the bus. Daddy had to take you.

Oh I could go on & on as you growed up there are so many good memories. Then you graduated from Hi school and going away from home. You dont know how hard that was for dad and I. The house was so empty. But we knew we had to let you go. Your marriage even if it wasnt so good --- your 5 children, our lovely

grandchildren and great children. Im writing this to say thank you and to thank God for blessing us with you our daughter & grandchildren and great grandchildren.

I can never tell you in words how much I love you but as I put each stitch in this gift of quilt I give you for your birthday. The stitches each says I Love You.

From your 80 year old Mom 1986 Happy BirthdayActually, about a month later Mom was 81. Find-

ing this almost forgotten letter again brought back more memories than that quilt. A son and daughter in law now have the quilt that hung many years on a special rack to display Moms handiwork. If you were to look closely, I believe one of those embroidered squares has some missed stitches but that makes it even more unique and precious.

I have written before that you cant go home again. Maybe so but you cant stop the memories. I love you Mom.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL MOMS, GRANDMAS, GREAT GRANDMAS AND GREAT GREAT GRANDMAS

Dayton Dreamers plan Mothers Day celebrationBy Alice Johnson

The old cliche 'SPRING HAS SPRUNG' was truly in evidence when 16 Dayton Dreamers Senior Club mem-bers converged on the Community Center on a warm balmy spring day on Thursday, April 16. The tables were decorated with colorful ceramic birds interspersed with decorative bird houses.

On the serving table was a large basket of Spring flowers. After the table grace was sung, we were served a 'Spring-time' dinner consisting of Sub sandwiches with a variety of 'fixings', a relish plate, several variety of pick-les, potato chips, and for dessert a Texas sheet cake plus a delicious cheesecake topped with cherry sauce.

President Bonnie Reck opened the business meeting by welcoming everyone for attending. She then led us in saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Next, Secre-tary Alice Johnson read the minutes of the March meeting as well as Treasurer's report. A motion was made, sec-onded and passed to accept both reports as read.

The April birthdays were then acknowledged: Vir-ginia Adams will celebrate her birthday on April 22 and Pat Sorenson on the 29. Happy Birthday was sung in honor of these birthdays...

President Reck announced that member Madon-na Stickel has recently been admitted to the Villa Care Health Center in Fort Dodge.

Next on the agenda was to discuss the menu for our May 21 meeting. We thought it appropriate to celebrate Mother's Day by driving to Tea Thyme at Sadies in Fort Dodge for lunch. We are to meet at the Center's parking lot at 10:45 a. m. sharp to pool rides to Fort Dodge.

We also discussed that in honor of Father's Day in June, we tentatively plan to grill our noon meal. It was also suggested that anyone who wishes to can display their hobbies/crafts on tables set up for that purpose.

Since there was no more business to discuss, mo-tion was made for the meeting to adjourn, seconded and passed.

HWY. 175 E. 515-838-2080

By Cassidy RileyColleen Palmer, 60, has been teaching music for

more than 40 yearsincluding 20 years at Zion Lutheran Church as the Minister of Musicbut her love for the melodious arrangement of notes dates back to her child-hood.

Palmers mother was a piano teacher and as young as five-years-old she would watch her mother giving les-sons.

Thats really how I learnedby sitting and listen-ing to her teach kids and then after the kids left trying to imitate what they did, she said.

Palmer was raised in a traditional Dutch community in Fulton, Illinois. She said her childhood was closely tied with the activities of the Reformed Church in Americaincluding choir, piano, and organbecause there werent very many activities for girls at school. She said girls

Senior Series...

sport leagues didnt start until after she graduated in 1972.The school stuff did not monopolize the family life

like it does now, she said. Back then youre whole cen-ter was your family and your church.

Because of her close relationship with her familyincluding one brother and 50 cousinsshe said it was unsettling for some of her relatives when she chose to go to Northwestern College in Orange City to study mu-sic education. Most of her cousins attended school near home and some traveled as far as Pella but she said her choice was eight hours away and went against tradition.

I had an uncle who said youll last two weeks and youll be back home, she said. [I said] Ill show you I am going to stick this out and I did. I loved it.

Much like her experiences in high school, Palmer said there was a lack of opportunities for women in col-lege life as well. She said the second wave of the womens

movement, which started in the 1960s, was making head-way and women on campus were beginning to break into professions outside of teaching, secretarial, and nursing. She said as a result of the national movement the first women at Northwestern College were studying social work and ministry.

She graduated in 1976 and after a year off began working as a vocal music teacher at Lytton Community School. This job would eventually lead her to her hus-band Ned Palmer. Colleen Palmers friend Julie Peterson, Gowrie local, was teaching band at the same school when she decided to register with a dating service.

I said that was stupid, Colleen Palmer said. In the 70s dating services werent online. Rather, an

individual registered with a company and matches con-nected by phone. Colleen Palmer said she had no idea why anyone would sign up for a dating service, but little did she know this dating service would benefit her too. Julie Peterson met Jeff Peterson, owner of Jamboree Foods, through the service. Jeff Peterson and Ned Palmer were classmates in school.

They got us two together and the rest is history, Colleen Palmer said.

She and Ned Palmer got married in June 1982 and Jeff Peterson and Julie Peterson were married one month later.

Colleen Palmers first child was born the next year and shortly after she left her job in Lytton to stay home. Her second child was born in 1985. After her kids were in school she taught preschool in the Cedar Valley School District for five years. It wasnt until 1994 she took on the job she would hold until her retirement in June of this year at Zion Lutheran Churcha job she said started as choir director.

As time went on it got to the point where we added hand bell choirs and I directed all those, she said. Then it got to the point where I pretty much picked all the mu-sic and I did a lot of behind the scene stuff. Soon that became my full time job, she said.

Colleen Palmer worked with people of ages ranging from elementary school to adulthood and she said she re-ally enjoyed the teaching aspect of her job.

Through all the years that was probably my dream job, she said. I always knew that was what I would like to do, be involved in church music.

Colleen Palmer said her job consisted of a variety of tasks over the years, including picking hymns for ser-vices, directing vocal and hand bell choirs, finding small groups to sing on Sundays, individuals to participate in church as liturgists, and training people to take over roles such as an playing the organ.

While she loved her vocation, she said it was very demanding at times and in her retirement she looks for-ward to taking a step back and spending more time with her grandchildren.

Overall, she said she hopes through all she did she helped people gain an appreciation for music.

The sounds you can make, theres nothing else like it, she said. Creating that is a good relaxer. Its good to go sit and play and you forget about everything else in the world. Its good to be able to pull those sounds out of your groups too, to produce that beautiful music.

together so you got a whiskey looking mixture. And I can remember purposely out in the cor-

ner tipping this and acting and stuff, and Verner Stark got a hold of my grandmother and had to tell her this, your grandson was drinking whiskey. Grandmother knew what it was, she had given me the bottle.

She wasnt a humorous lady, but she was kind of a serious type, and she got the biggest kick out of it. That proved the theory that Verner Stark did make ob-servations.

Some laughter JN: Okay, Chuck? CD: I think Rich said Dr. Berk for inviting him

in to watch the Lone Ranger. And Sid Santos name was mentioned as very welcoming, and Sid never held a

grudge. You could have a heated discussion and the next thing out of Sids mouth was lets go to coffee and

Ill buy. We also talked about the Methodist pastor John Henry, we talked about Pastor Delfa Peterson.

Dewey Nemachecks name came up and that

will go back to your alumni banquet and things like that. Joyce Swang at the bank. I thought Joyce Swang at the bank was excellent. And also Jim Deal at the Review which you touched on with the good reporting and that whole thing.

And somebody mentioned Luella Johnson, and my mother had a series of strokes, and at one time she

would always call down to the grocery store to order groceries. And she called one time and she wasnt talking quite right. And Luella picked up on that and called me, I think or Linda or something like that, and said you better check on your mother.

And she was right. And now that would only happen in a small town. One phone call and she could tell something wasnt quite right. She had had a stroke.

RJ: At one point in my life, I dont know what the offices were, but they had set up a speed measuring device right in front of the Review. But it was ?? went across the street and you would trip one or the other. And

you had that big read-out there. We were probably 11-12 years old. We would go ride out bikes back and forth. And I remember going in there and asking what ra-dio station you get on that, and George Strandberg say-ing you get station JAIL.

What should I do if I suspect a natural gas leak? Jared asked us

Graphic can be expanded to heights greater than oered here. However, the minimum height is as indicated below.


Above mark denotes minumum height of graphic. The minimum height should be used on brochures and other like printed materials.

Thats 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, dont 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.

Garbage rates...I want to start by saying that Tim and I were quite

humbled by the show of support from the community at last Mondays council meeting in Gowrie.

Before the meeting, Tim and I agreed in prayer that the truth would be revealed and I believe it was. Al-though Tim wasnt allowed to finish his question to the other hauler about his $11 per house claim, the residents and business owners were able to conclude on their own that eventually he would have to raise his prices to meet his costs. While saying that he could pick up each home at this costs because he was more efficient, Tim and I would have been able to dispute this with a simple break down:

These costs are broke down per month and would only be for the town of Gowrie.

1. Landfill charges approximately $900 (6.5 ton of garbage at 35.00 per ton)

2. Diesel charges (now 2.70 per gallon) Average 2.8 4 mpg. I will give them the 4 mpg for 176 miles round trip once per week would equal approximately $120 (4) $480 per month. Most garbage haulers would say this is a conservative estimation. As I stated, this price is for once per week for one garbage truck. Car-roll Refuse would have to bring two garbage trucks, one for the residential garbage and one for the containers at the local businesses. Tim currently picks commercial ac-counts up twice per week. CR would also have to bring a recycling trailer and large truck to pick up the recycling. Because I know you can all do the math on those, I will not insult your intelligence by walking you through each step.

3. The upkeep on a garbage truck can be figured at approximately $3.00/mile, and again, that is conservative at best. This would equal $528 per month for one garbage truck.

4. For one employ-ee, if you only paid them $10/hour the cost would run $280 per month. Breakdown of wages: 3 hours in the town, 3 hours of road time, .5 hour at landfill.

5. General bonding insurance for one garbage truck: $18.00

6. Garbage truck in-surance: $400

7. Work comp (one garbage man, rated at 10th most dangerous job): $24.00

8. Roll box con-tainer investment: $75 per house (their cost)

Keep in mind that I didnt include any taxes in the above charges and was considerably con-servative with all costs. Leaving out two trucks, another employee, and in-creased landfill charge for rain and snow. This brings their total costs, just to run the town to, $2715. That brings their profit margin to a little less than $1.00 per week per house. How long do you all think they will be able to service Gowrie at this price?

Varsity Boys Track team looks to improve

The Southeast Valley boys track team competed in the Mike Jepson Relays on Tuesday, April 18th, 2015. The Jaguars finished 4th overall in the team race. Carroll high school won the meet with 116 points. Manson NW edged Pocahontas/LM for 2nd place with 101 points.

The Jaguars were able to pick up a trio of individu-al champions. Skylar Warehime won the discus with a throw of 137 2 Spencer Warehime won the 1600m run with a season best time of 4:39.94 and Shane Promes also ran a season best time of 56.80 in the 400m low hurdles. Cade King was the only other individual place winner in the varsity competition finishing 4th in the 110m high hurdles.

A majority of the points for SV came in the relays with 5 of the 6 relays on the night finishing in the top three. Zeke Miller, Aaron Swieter, Nolan Johnson and Spencer Warehime ran a 3:47.68 to finish 2nd in the 1600m medley relay. The 4 x 800 relay quartet of Noah Tucker, Bryce Gustafson, Jacob DeBaun, and Malachi Swanson ran a season best time of 8:47.95. Also running a season best time for the season was the relay of Carter Steck, Shane Promes, Jalen Fuss and Cade King in the 440m Shuttle hurdle relay with a time of 1:04.69.

Also finishing 3rd place was the 4 x 400m relay Cart-er Steck, Shane Promes, Nolan Johnson, and Cade King just missing a season best time by running a 3:38.19. The 4 x 100m relay of Zeke Miller, Aaron Swieter, Tom Nahn-sen and Keaton Jondle finish 6th in a time of 48.60. Noah Tucker ran a season best time of 1:03.29 in the 400m low hurdles and Cameron Anderson ran a season best time of 56.77.

SV girls track team times continue to drop

Southeast Valley girls track and field team set a lot of new personal best times. Coach Swieter was concerend about the affects of prom so he did not ask the girls to run as many events as they normally do.

He wanted them fresh for the events they were in and this strategy really paid off for the girls. The younger girls had their last JV meet for the year and most of them set their best personal times in the events they were in.

The varsity team had tough competition with all the schools they ran against classified as 3A or 2A. This brought out the best in the girls. The tough compition made them work harder because every race was tight the entire time.

This will really help them prepare for conference and districts because now they know what they can do when things are on the line, said Coach Swieter. He also said he was very happy with this meet because times continue to drop as the season moves on.

Our words How would you describe the way you talk?

Do you speak in a positive manner, always thinking the best? Do you feel like you leave people feeling that they have been comforted? Are you supportive when others ask for your support?

Now for the other side of the coin. Do the words that come out of your mouth cutting, hurting people as you speak? Are your words negative, never seeing the sunshine because of the clouds - always speaking bad of everyone?

According to Proverbs 15, verse 4a, it tells us - a wholesome tongue is a tree of life. What is meant by a wholesome tongue? Well, it is a tongue that speaks good of people and situations.

It is also a tongue that builds up people (your-self and others.) A wholesome tongue is one that is gentle and kind. Psalm 34, verse 13 tells us - keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking de-ceit.

And then in Matthew, chapter 12, verse 36 it warns us that we need to be careful about the things that we say. I tell you that men will have to give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquited, and by your words you will be condemned.

If we are honest with ourselves, we all need to give serious thought to what we are going to say before we actually say it. We should allow the good principles found in Scripture to influence the words we say. This is called Biblical speech using Gods Word in our lives each day.

When we look in Proverbs, the 21st chapter and the 23rd verse, we find some good advice. He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself/herself from calamity. In other words, griping, grum-bling or complaining often doesnt accomplish any-thing!

Titus 3, verse 2 instructs us - to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.

Our behavior and our words should reflect our devotion to God. Words are simple, but simple as they may be, they impact our lives and the lives of others.

Until next time...this week keep your words soft and sweet - just in case you have to eat them.
