It was good to have a chauffeur to drive me up
nnorth not long ago. My younger friend had vacation
-days that werent completely filled and offered to take
-me. It turned out to be an enjoyable jaunt for both of us.
On our way I had her turn off the highway at Boxholm to
-see a few of my childhood sights.
-
Since we anticipated being in Dayton a little beefore noon we didnt do the whole tour but I showed her
the home my parents owned, their final abode in Boxholm
.and the nearby Methodist Church where I attended Suneday School, was baptized and confirmed, attended MYF
tand occasionally did some musical offering. We didnt
have time to stop and see if we could go in. It used to be
&churches were not locked, especially in the day time and
.anyone could enter but times have changed. We have
.found that out recently in my Des Moines church with
a wallet and car keys pilfered during the Sunday School
hour at that.
We drove past the Stark place where the barn
still stands, the barn where I found my beloved Tina, the
runt Rat Terrier. She was my constant companion for
several years and when she left this earth I cried buckets
of tears. I swore to myself never to fall in love with a
-pet, especially a dog again. I have to admit I came close
though. We travelled on north on a street that wasnt there
din 1946 and though we didnt go clear east to it, I pointed
Aout the place where I last lived in Boxholm and saw that
the barn was still standing but the attached chicken house
apparently gone. It looked as if there was a new structure built across the street, the place where second grade
teacher Mabel Bergquist and her father lived at that time.
That street dead ended and those were the only two residences on that end of the street.
We turned left toward the highway. Absent was
the old depot as were the old Quaker elevator and the
old Farmers Elevator and the railroad. The new elevator
buildings are very impressive. When my children were
young there was still the railroad and the old elevators. We often came through Boone and what was then
referred to as the back way. When we got to the intersection just north of the Paul Chingren place there was
a railroad crossing and the boys, John and Rex, spotting
the alligator (elevator) would beg us to let them out to
walk the RR on into town. We never did let them do it
as we were always expected at Grandma and Grandpas
or another relatives place and there wasnt time to allow
them to do that. I have always regretted that we didnt
make a special trip with no time schedule and let them
take that hike.
As we approached the highway I pointed out the
Lutheran Church to Sue and tried to explain the additions
made. I also had told her that the church was originally
built out in the country on the northeast corner of that Chingren intersection but at some time (way before mine)
it was very carefully hauled to town. The old parsonage
remained out in the country and my last memory of it was
being the home of the family of one of my classmates,
Keith Norlin. I told her the large house now standing to
the north of the church was originally the church town
parsonage which I heard has been sold. The house in the
country has been long gone.
We hit the highway and headed to Dayton. Between Boxholm and Dayton we noticed road construction signs but saw nothing until suddenly there it was!
What was it? Was there a new angled northwest/southeast
thoroughfare going in I hadnt heard about? Scene soon
forgotten and on to Dayton! It was only on the return trip
I suddenly said, Oh, yeah! Thats that ----- pipeline!
Look at what has been displaced! No wonder some of
the landowners were fighting so strongly! Will they get

Ive been seeing some birds around on my way
in to the office and have been getting a few phone calls from
around the state from people also seeing birds, he said.
The birds are here, we need hunters to return.
Iowas pheasant population could sustain a harvest
of 500,000 roosters, but it will not reach that level until there
are 90,000 hunters afield. In 2015, some 55,000 hunters harvested 270,000 Iowa roosters.
Hunters can read the August roadside survey, review hunting regulations, buy a license and find a place to
hunt online at www.iowadnr.gov/hunting
Pheasant hunting
regulations unchanged
Regulations covering pheasant hunting are unchanged from last year there is a limit of three roosters per
day, 12 roosters in possession, and hunters are required to
wear one piece of solid blaze orange clothing. If hunting public land, be sure to check if steel shot is required. If cleaning
the birds in the field, be sure to leave the head, fully feathered
wing or leg attached while transporting the bird home.

The Southeast Valley Jaguars lost to District Champion Carroll Kuemper Friday night 31-20 but once again the
Jaguars qualified for the playoffs.
With a 5-2 District record and third place district
finish the Jags advanced to the playoffs for the third straight
year since whole grade sharing.
The Jaguars had won five consecutive games and
with a win against Carroll Kuemper they would have shared
the district championship.
We have lost to Kuemper 8-1, South Central
Calhoun 7-2 and Bishop Garrigan which is 9-0. It is hard
to get mad at the boys when they are competing with teams
who have those records and good seasons, said coach Mike
Swieter.
The coaches are hurt with this loss but they know
the boys gave everything they had, asserted coach Swieter.
Coach Swieter continued, Only 25% of the teams
across the state of Iowa make it to the playoffs and the Jags
are there again. The boys worked hard to put themselves into
this situation and deserve this and plan on taking advantage
of it.
He added, The coaches are very proud of the boys
for not giving up when we were 1-2. We have faced adversity all season but never gave up. We will not let this game
affect how we prepare for whoever the state matches us up
with.
Southeast Valley trailed 17-6 at the end of the first
half after taking a 6-0 first quarter lead. The scoring was
even in the second half.
Affirmed coach Swieter, Be proud of what these
boys have accomplished. We were both small class A football teams and have come together and made the playoffs
three years in a row in Class 2A and we have had three
straight winning seasons. That is something any school
would be proud of.
Swieter noted that the Jaguar football team turned
their season around started after losing to SCC 12-14. The
only chance we had of sharing the district title and have a
chance was to win the next five games, Swieter affirmed.
During that time the Jags won five straight and

start preparing for postseason play.
The boys have worked hard continuing
to build our program where everyone knows
who Southeast Valley is. Once again thanks to

to punt.
Five plays later Kuemper gets it first touchdown
and extra point. The Jags fumbled on their first play and
give it right back.
Kuemper scored two plays later and made the
extra point.
Three plays later the Jags throw an interception.
Kuemper drove down the field but the Jags held them to a
field goal and it was 17-6 at the half.
Down 11 by three turnovers the Jags would not
give up. Kuemper started second half strong with a 12 play
scoring drive to take commanding lead 24 - 6.
Aaron Swieter started next drive off with a 36
yard run and then catches were made by Dakota Jaeschke,
Ryan Gustafson, and a 30 touchdown yard pass from Nolan Brand to Nolan Johnson made the score 20-12.
Kuemper came right back and scored again to
make score 31 to 12.
Two plays later Nolan Brand connected with Nolan Johnson for a 79 yard touchdown pass. Nolan Brand
hit Dakota Jaeschke for the two point conversion to make
score 20-31.
The Jag defense forced Kuemper to punt. There
was a 31 yard pass to Dakota Jaeschke and a 24 yarder to
Nyles Johnson. But that was followed with an interception in the end zone.
Jags got the ball back but as time was ending we
needed to punt instead of go for it because the 11 point
loss was crucial in making the playoffs. The Jags tied
with Centerville with the exact same record and exact same
points so that was big keeping them out at the end.

Coach Swieter would also like to
thank his coaching staff and their families

Nobody except other coaches understand the

have a successful program and everyone of

better the football team.
He would also like to thank his wife

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey
commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through
October.
Iowas corn and soybean harvest is moving
forward, but remains fairly slow due to the damp weather
and periodic rain, Northey said. The 33 percent of corn
and 62 percent of beans that have been combined remain
behind the 5-year average. Several days of dry weather
would be very helpful and
allow farmers to make significant progress on both
corn and bean harvest.

CITY OF GOWRIE
NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS
Date of Publication: October 26, 2016
City of Gowrie
1206 Market Street
Gowrie IA 50543
515-352-3999
On or after November 11, 2016, the City of Gowrie will submit a
request to the State of Iowa, Iowa Economic Development Authority for
the release of Community Development Block Grant funds under Title 1
of the HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974 as
amended (P.L. 97-35), to undertake the following project:
Project Title: Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program
Purpose: Rehabilitation of 4 single-family, owner-occupied homes
Location: The proposed project will take place in a target neighborhood
from Riddle Street east to Pleasant Street, and from Webster Street south
to Union Street.
Estimated Cost: $137,280.00 in CDBG funding and $13,332 in City
funding.
The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD
regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that
documents the environmental determinations for this project is on file at
City of Gowrie, 1206 Market Street, Gowrie IA and may be examined or
copied weekdays during normal business hours of 8:00 A.M to 3:00 P.M.
A tiered approach to the environmental review will be followed.
Therefore, prior to on-site construction work for each rehabilitation project,
a site-specific SHPO concurrence will be secured. This will occur once
Project Specifications on subject property is complete.
PUBLIC COMMENTS - Any individual, group, or agency may submit
written comments on the ERR to the City of Gowrie. All comments
received by November 10, 2016 will be considered by the City of Gowrie
prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.
RELEASE OF FUNDS - The City of Gowrie certifies to the Iowa
Economic Development Authority that Gayle Redman in her capacity as
Mayor consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action
is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review
process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The Iowa
Economic Development Authority approval of the certification satisfies its
responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows
the City of Gowrie to use HUD program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS - The Iowa Economic
Development Authority will accept objections to its release of funds and
the City of Gowries certification for a period of fifteen days following the
anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever
is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification
was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Gowrie; (b) the
City of Gowrie has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding
required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient
or other participants in the development process have committed funds,
incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58
before approval of a release of funds by the Iowa Economic Development
Authority; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part
1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from
the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared
