    Engquist Lumber, Harcourt, celebrates125 years in business Tuesday, June 2Big anniversary event planned...By Glenn Schreiber One of the oldest businesses in Webster Coun-ty is celebrating an historic achievement in early June.

    by: Glenn Schreiber

    We will never forget their great sacrifices. . .

    We celebrated Memorial Day this week with many of us visiting cemeteries honoring our deceased loved ones, particularly our family members who have died in military service to our country. Many of us participated in Memorial Day ceremonies in many of our local and area communities.

    Local American Legion and VFW members have led our local Memorial Day observances and they have done a great job. All of us should never forget the contri-butions made by members of our military branches who gave their lives so that we could all be free. And really the people who have suffered severe injuries in military service should also be recognized.

    Memorial Day has never been more important.Our nation has endured several recent wars and there

    is major threat of more wars on the horizon. We are even threatened in our own country.

    Lets all be thankful for the great service performed by our members of the armed services. We especially ex-press our gratitude for all service men and women who died in their military service for our nation.

    And we also recognize men and women who serve today in our armed services.

    Boxholm vandalism... Received the 5-20-15 Dayton Review the day after I

    sent the column for the 5-27-15 edition and staring at me on the front page was the headline Vandalism at Box-holm School. That not only was saddening news but a bit angering as well. One wonders what people think when doing such things. What was to be gained? Was it a lark for the perpetrators? Apparently the parties respon-sible do not have respect or fondness for such edifices as we of the old school who regard that building as a special place where we and those before and after us re-ceived basic education to prepare us for life. All I can say to those people is shame, shame, shame.

    SV girls track team ends season on top

    The Distance Medley with Natalie Lambert, Josie Breitsprecher. Angela Dopita and Erica Rittgers went down there ranked 22nd out of 24 relay teams and had nothing to lose. So all the girls wanted to do was bring home their best time of the season. Well they did way better than that by cutting almost 7 seconds off their time. They finished 12th place and the girls and coaches could not be prouder of them.

    Next event was the 400 Hurdles with Natalie Lambert and Kanyon Pepples. Natlalie went down 17th and came home 13th and ran her fastest time ever. Kan-yon placed 23rd as a Freshmen so we were excited for her to get her first state track experience.

    The 4x400 with Natalie Lambert, Josie Bre-itsprecher. Angela Dopita and Erica Rittgers ran their fastest time of the year and placed 15th.

    Coach Swieter wanted to congratulate the girls for all their hard work and dedication and is proud of all their accomplishments.

    Turkey virus outbreakstrikes Pocahontas farmnear Webster County Millions of Iowa birds killed or destroyed by bird flu, and piling up at poultry facilities, should be dis-posed of or incinerated by the end of this week, barring another large outbreak, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Friday. The outbreak in Iowa has included much of northwest Iowa including a 21,000 turkey farm near Pocahontas which is very close to Webster County. The virus has affected 63 other turkey operations in northwest Iowa. Vilsack said a backlog of birds has developed because of complicated negotiations with Iowa landfills over accepting the animals. In the past week, two landfills one in north-west Iowa, the other in southwest Iowa have agreed to take some of the estimated 25 million birds stricken by avian influenza or killed to contain the disease. In addition, a larger incinerator is being moved into northwest Iowa and is expected to be in place by Sunday, the ag secretary said in a recent story published in the Des Moines Register. We want to get rid of those birds as quickly as possible, said Vilsack, meeting in Des Moines on Friday with state officials, including Gov. Terry Branstad, indus-try leaders, and turkey and egg producers.

    Delhotal - Fevold, Gowrie, Engaged...Mr. and Mrs. James Delhotal of Amboy, Illinois an-

    nounce the engagement of their daughter, Eva Marie Del-hotal of Gowrie, to Matthew Fevold of Gowrie, the son of Paul Fevold of Gowrie Iowa and Jo Everts-Lundberg of Farnhamville.

    The bride-elect is a 2006 graduate of Dixon High School, a 2010 graduate of Luther College, and pursuing her master's in special education from the University of North Dakota. She is a special education teacher at Prai-rie Valley Elementary School in Farnhamville.

    Her fiance is a 2003 graduate of Prairie Valley High School and a 2005 graduate of Iowa Central Community College with a major in agricultural business. He is an in-tegrated solutions manger at K.C. Nielsen, LTD in Hum-boldt, Iowa.

    The couple are planning a June 27, 2015 wedding at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Dixon, Illinois.

    Engagements

    Enjoys Series on Dayton reunion in Arizona... Thank you for the ongoing series of comments from a recent gathering of Daytonites in Arizona. The ar-ticles stirred up many memories and a need to unravel some names. Dr. & Mrs. Earl Burch served Dayton from their home office directly south of D.H.S. Their daughter Nan-cy was a delightful story teller whose adult life took her in a more structured direction of service to others. The 1948 Tiger Eye publication carries pictures of Principal Art Roskens serving as coach to both Jr. High boys and girls basketball teams. Daughter Virginia Ro-skens was listed as a 1947 D.H.S. graduate. Rosemary (Rosie) Hall taught Drivers Ed and P.E. to many of us. She and former Supt. Harold Schmick-ley were D.H.S. alumni guests on several occasions. On Nov. 8, 2003 I visited with former English instructor Lyle McCargar in Boone at Harold Schmick-leys funeral. The Dayton Elementary school was often used for socializing before alumni banquet dinners. In 2013 the school was not available for that purpose and other locations opened their doors. Many of us mingled at the Methodist church and were very glad to shake hands with Lyle McCargar as he made his way in the crowd. Subsequently he joined a table of 1952 grads for dinner. He intended to come back in 2014 but passed away Christmas Day 2013.

    Cole Jones, Dayton, awarded scholarship at AIB Cole Jones of Dayton has been awarded an Ar-nold and Dorothy Johnson Scholarship at AIB College of Business. A World War II veteran, Arnold Johnson gradu-ated from AIB in 1937 and built a long career as a traffic manager with Swift & Co. After his death in 1991 and Dorothys death in 1996, a $1 million gift from their es-tates created a scholarship fund. In 1997, the AIB Board of Trustees renamed Alumni Hall the Arnold and Dorothy Johnson Alumni Hall in their honor. Arnold and Dorothy Johnson genuinely loved helping AIB students, and their scholarships have helped hundreds of students over the years, said AIB President Nancy Williams. This year, more than $138,000 was awarded to 39 students on the basis of outstanding academic achieve-ment and/or financial need.

    SV Boys at State Track and Field

    The Southeast Valley boys track team took a total of seven events this year to the state track and field meet in Des Moines. Thursdays session saw sophomore Spencer Warehime become the first state place winner in Jaguar history when he finished 6th in the 3200m run. Spencers time of 9:46.79 was less than two seconds from fourth place. Later in the afternoon, the shuttle hurdle team of Carter Steck, Shane Promes, Jalen Fuss and Cade King ran a time of 1:03.17. The quartet finished 20th after entering the meet ranked 24th.

    On Friday, the day started with junior Cade King making his second appearance of the weekend running the 110m high hurdles. Cades time of 16.83 placed him 24th. Senior Shane Promes made his second appearance running the 400m hurdles. Shane just missed his sea-son PR by one one-hundredth of a second to run a 56.81 which placed him 17th overall. Senior Skylar Warehime made his third straight trip to the state track meet in the discus. His throw of 142 7 was his best performance of his three previous trips to the state meet and finished 18th place overall in 2A.

    Friday finished with the 1600m medley relay. The medley relay was lead by Keaton Jondle and Carter Steck, Cade King ran the 400 leg in his third event of the weekend and it was anchored by freshman Nolan Johnson whose 800 split was 2:00.44. The teams 13th place finish, with a season best time of 3:40.22, was three places higher than the 16th place they were seeded.

    The Jaguars final event of the weekend came on Saturday afternoon as Spencer Warehime running the 1600m run. Spencers finish of 4:28.95 was good enough to grab 7th place in the 2A field and enough to earn him his second medal of the 2015 state track meet. Spencer along with Carter, Keaton, Cade and Nolan will look to return to the state meet next year and bring along some more teammates. Shane, Jalen and Skylar finished out their track and field careers participating in the state meet.

    As coaches, you always hope that your seniors get to finish their final events at the state meet and on the blue oval. We had three seniors who got to do that this year which is exciting. However, besides Shane, Skylar and Jalen, we have several other seniors who are leaving big roles to fill. We had a lot of great underclassmen that had very successful seasons this year that we think can step up and fill those spots. The 7th and 8th graders also had a great season and we look forward for the 8th grad-ers to move up to high school next year and add to the strength and depth we had this year.

    Phone scams reported in Boone County

    Scammers have been reported in Boone County and Henry County claiming to be with the County Sherriffs office asking for money.

    The scam is initiated by phone, text, or email and may claim to be from the countys warrant division or another area law enforcement agency. The caller then ex-plains that the victim has failed to address a grievance which can be settled for a specific amount of money.

    If you receive such a call, it is important to remember that Sherriffs Deputies will never call asking for money.

    Reunion RememberedIt is hard to believe that a year has gone by since grad-

    uates, teachers, employees and others who had attended or had some connections to Boxholm Consolidated and Grand Community Schools were looking forward to a spe-cial reunion. It was special because we didnt know if we would ever get to step foot into the premises again as the school district had once again merged and no more class-es of any kind were to be held at this dear old place. The alumni committees worked hard and long to make contact with graduates and others who could associate with the school in any way. Some of us endeavored to also make contact with our fellow graduates, some successfully and some not.

    The day finally came and it was so good to see many, many people I had not seen since my graduation year or earlier. Some came from many states away. It was worth it to them to obtain plane tickets, rent cars and spend several nights in a motel to attend this party. The day arrived and many of us stopped by Daves museum which in itself conjured up old times and memories.

    Most of us took the tour through the old school build-ing, amazed at how some things seemed the same and oth-ers a big change. Most of the Boxholm Consolidated peo-ple could not get over the transformation their study hall, then called the assembly, had taken. Where was the stage, that stage where many of us performed in some musical group, plays and most remembered of all, our graduations? We had to pause and close our eyes to conjure up the old place. This was nice and serving a very good purpose as a computer lab and library for the three grades that had remained. That library sure was a comeuppance from the little side room to the south of the old stage. Now no one could sign out for a library visit and slip out the emergency exit door, propping it slightly and then sneaking back in before the teacher who had monitor duty came to tell them their time was up. Only one at a time in addition to person assigned as librarian for the period was allowed.

    No more signing out to go to the restroom during your study hall time. Ah, how times had changed in 60+ + years. It looked as if it was to the good but nostalgia still took over a bit. Many of us old timers had always ad-mired the new modern gym with its standard sized bas-ketball court and the much larger stage. We would have

    loved having such a complex in our time but were glad for those to follow to have them. Many of the children who did benefit were children, grandchildren and possibly great grandchildren. Was that all going to be gone too? We still dont know.

    The Des Moines Sunday Register has been doing a series over the past year about the school closings around Iowa and what has happened to the old stately buildings. Many, like ours, were built around the end of World War I and were much sturdier construction than some of the more modern ones. That has not kept them from being razed or just sitting, deteriorating. Small towns cannot find a use for such structures no matter how well kept and preserved they may be. So we are still wondering what will be the fate of our beloved BHS. In a more urban or close to urban setting the gym could be a community cen-ter and a venue for many types of celebrations, reunions, weddings, receptions, etc. However a facility for those more grandiose events just cant hack it in a community of less than 300 and virtually no commercial businesses. Its a bit sad, isnt it?

    If you have been following the Registers stories you have learned that there are many such facilities around our state. They are in small rural areas where their towns, too, have dwindled and rural population also decreased with the enlarging of farms and so many small ones having dis-appeared. The rumor a year ago that there was the possibil-ity that the newly formed school district would still have a use for the gymnasium area of the school. If that were true and continued through the school year ending 2017 there might be a slight chance of one more reunion.

    Be that as it may, there will be many who were around in 2014 who have already gone to their heavenly reward or will have by that time. My class of 1946 has dwindled to no more than 7 of the original 22 and one or two couldnt be located. So for now, we are remembering and happy that we were privileged to attend that great reunion. It was one of the best times I have had at such a gathering. I have mentioned several times that it is said we cant go home again. But, I will reiterate We can go home again just close your eyes and do it through your memory.

    Happy remembrances.

    Jags Sectional Golf Runner UpBy Coach Conrad

    Starting there attempt to make the State tourna-ment, the Jaguars were successful in completing the first step. The team traveled to Carroll Country Club to take on other 8 teams assigned to that sectional. Needing to finish in the top three was all that was needed to ad-vance, and our Jags easily accomplished that, by finishing a close second to the home school of Kuemper. For a while it looked as if our team was going to win the sectional, but this was only due to a scoring error, and once corrected the team was second. Logan Boerner played great golf on this day for the Jags. His 74 tied him for meet medalist honors, which he then went out and won it in a playoff. Team-mate Keegan Goodwin also had a good day by firing 76 and bringing home the 3 place medal. Conner Conrad was next with a score of 81, which earned him 4th place overall in the meet. Koltan Lundberg rounded out the team scoring with a 92. The team now travels to Panora for districts, and a shot at the State tournament.

    Senior Series...Marie Hockemeier, 92, overcame polio, enjoyed roller skating in her youthSon farms near Boxholm...

    By Jill VilesPastor Richard Rehfeldt of Windsor Heights Luther-

    an Church may have wondered if any of his sermons truly made a difference in my life. The honest answer is that, in my teens and twenties, much of his advice was heard, but forgotten a few hours later. It wasnt that I didnt care, I was simply too busy and too young for much of his important advice to sink in. However, I do remember one particular sermon and a daily affirmation that have remained with me to this day.

    In this notable sermon, Pastor Rehfeldt recounted a day when he was to visit a parishioner in a nursing home. Knowing that this woman had recently moved in to a care facility after a lengthy illness, Pastor Rehfeldt came pre-pared with prayers and biblical scripture promoting ac-ceptance of life circumstances. He had made many of these types of visits previously, and he knew a sorrowful heart was often par for the course.

    Yet, when he arrived for this visit, he encountered a parishioner with a vibrant smile and a warm welcome to her room. Only days into her placement, she had taken to knitting caps for newborn babies. Her bed was neatly made and a rainbow of pastel caps adorned her comforter.

    She rocked in the chair beside the bed, eagerly chatting away about the dozens of caps already placed with new-borns departing from the hospital for their new lives. Skeins of colorful yarn spilled from the basket at her feet, and she described the new orders she hoped to fill in the coming days.

    It was then that Pastor Rehfeldt realized this woman was actually ministering to him. In these brief days of transition, she had learned to forego feelings of self-pity and loneliness, and transform her life, even from within a care center, into a life lived in service to others. He offered four words of advice that have stayed with me to this day: Bloom where youre planted.

    In the coming years I strived to take these words to heart and seek out friendships with others of similar mindset. As I visit residents of the Gowrie Care Center seeking stories for the papers senior series, I am often the richer as I depart, filled with memories of lives lived to the fullest. But, one resident in particular has truly touched my heart, and I am reminded of my pastors ser-mon each time I visit her.

    As I entered the room of Marie Hockemeier, I couldnt help but notice the rays of sunshine spilling into

    the room from her open window. Various plants adorned the windowsill basking in the light. Ma-rie offered an eager smile, and I quickly realized, this would be an interview unlike any other. She pointed to the unoccupied twin bed at the side of the room. She told me of the mending she does for other members of the care center. Additionally, she recycles old wash cloths into bibs for babies.

    Marie opened our in-terview by describing her youth in Vincent, a small town northeast of Fort Dodge. Marie was second to the oldest and she grew up with four brothers. I was a bit of a Tomboy, explained Hockemeier, What my brothers could do, I could do too.

    Marie insists she liked all the subjects she studied in school and she attended through the eighth grade. Following this, Marie worked in Fort

    Lady Jaguars golf team closes out season

    SV at Sioux Central /Graettinger Terrill: The Lady Jags finished 2nd in triangular Conference play at Sioux Rapids with a team total 219. Graettinger Terrill shot 208 and Sioux Rapids 238. Kennedy Gallentine led the Jags with 49 while Tiffany Blunk shot 52. Sage Michalski and Marydith Barkley carded 59. Zoey Shipley shot 60 and Abby Anderlik 61. JV finished 2nd with a team total 294. Lexee Nelson led the JV with 62. Shawna Andrews shot 74, Morgan Jackson 77 and Meryl Moeller 81.

    Coach Blunk commented it was a very cold and wet night but we hung in there and played OK. Look-ing forward we have Regionals at Clarmond coming up so hopefully we will get in some good practice time and play well.

    SV at Clarmond Country Club Regionals: The Lady Jaguars finished 6th in regional action with a team total 18 hole 475. Kennedy Gallentine led the team with an impressive 108. Marydith Barkley played well in shooting 117. Tiffany Blunk shot 123 and Abby Anderlik 127. Sage Michalski carded 137 and Courtney Shirbroun 149.

    Coach Blunk commented it was very cold and windy but the girls hung in there. Yes I wish we would have played better but it was just a miserable day to play. Wind chills in the 30s make for a tough go. Hopefully the girls returning next year will learn from it and keep playing some this summer.

    Season summary: The Lady Jaguars Varsity Golf Team finished 4-6 in conference play and 6-8 overall. In Regional action they finished 6th ending the season. Team stroke average was 225. Low stroke average win-ner was junior Sage Michalski at 53. Senior Kennedy Gallentine finished at 55, junior Tiffany Blunk 57, senior Abby Anderlik 61, senior Courtney Shirbroun and junior Marydith Barkley at 64. Letter winners were Kennedy Gallentine, Sage Michalski, Tiffany Blunk, Abby Ander-lik, Courtney Shirbroun and Marydith Barkley.

    Participants included senior Zoey Shipley, junior Shawna Andrews, sophomores Morgan Jackson, Lexee Nelson and Meryl Moeller.

    Coach Blunk commented its been a good season. You always want to score better and extend the season but our Conference and Regional draw was very, very tough. The girls have been outstanding to work with and a lot of fun. It was just a great mix of kids. We will miss our seniors dearly. They showed great leadership while balancing their busy schedules and worked hard at prac-tice. Its just been an enjoyable group of girls to work. I would like to thank their parents for their commitment as well. Looking forward to next year I am encouraging all the returning girls to get out and play this summer!! GO JAGS!!!

    The Psalm or the Shepherd? The 23rd Psalm, is the most memorized passage

    in Scripture. My question is - do a lot of people know the Psalm without knowing the Shepherd?

    This Psalm is believed to have been written by King David toward the end of his life. The Psalm con-cerns a time when Hew was himself a shepherd boy out in the hills.

    Shepherding was a rather low-class job in this days. The pay was very poor. And, shepherds were con-sidered ritually unclean. In other words they could not participate in the worship services.

    The Psalm has many beautiful verses, and my favorite is the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. What that really means is that the Lord comes to the very lowest level of human experience. There, the Lord comes to the very lowest level of human experience. There, the Shepherd (God,) blesses those H e meets with a smile of His love so that they never want for anything.

    Once, on the Northern coast of Scotland there was a small village with a small church. The old Pastor let it be known that the topic for his sermon the next Sun-day would be the 23rd Psalm. There was a large crowd of worshipers there, and as the Pastor began to lead the service, he discovered a very famous professor elocution sitting in the congregation.

    He invited that man to come up and read the 23rd Psalm, and he did read it magnificently. When he was done, the congregation applauded him. The old Pas-tor then got up to preach. He gave his sermon and at the end, he, too, recited the psalm. He recited it in the King James version, in his broken Scottish brogue.

    When he finished, the congregation was weeping. When the service was over and as they were leaving, the little girl who had come with the noted professor from St. Andrews University, said - Daddy, why is it that when you read the psalm, everyone was impressed and clapped, but when the Pastor said it, everybody cried?

    The professor looked at his little girl and said, my dear, its because I know the psalm, but the Pastor knows the shepherd.

    Until next week...take a look at your life this week and find out whether you know the Psalm or the Shepherd?

    Gowrie Fire Dept. makes $60,000down payment on new fire buildingCity Clerk position could be full time. . .By Jill Viles

    The Gowrie Fire Department announced a $60,000 down payment has been made on the new build-ing. The building will be delivered in June.

    This announcement was made at the May 18 Gowrie City Council meeting.

    They are still at least $123,000 short in fundrais-ing, not including the kitchen and board room. It was suggested they may send out a letter to members of the community requesting donations. Additionally, it was of-fered that the original fire department building could be sold for $25-30K.

    Developing land Resident Denny Mc Cubbin inquired whether he

    could develop land within the Liberty Addition. Many

    landowners have investment in this addition, including Mc Cubbins great aunt. It was explained by the council that the city has an easement on this area in case a new street was required in future years.

    When asked if the city would ever consider repealing an easement, Peterson and Redman offered a definite, no! Additionally, the council advised anyone considering adding a building to the land, to consider they may be asked to remove it later.

    Ash tree removal Finally, discussion centered upon several Ash

    trees north of the pool. Though he was not in attendance at this meeting, Darrell Mishke, suggested these trees are diseased and non-thriving, and should be removed. It was reported that approximately 75 Ash trees within the community are in need of removal. The council will take this into consideration.

    City Clerk position A replacement for the position of city clerk was

    discussed, and it was announced the position has been offered to Danielle Clancy.

    The question is should this be part time or full time? inquired Mayor Stokesbary.

    I dont think we can ultimately keep someone if the position isnt full time, offered Peterson.

    Dodge in various homes doing housework. The most exciting part of each week involved a walk to the skat-ing rink where she rolled her cares away, each Friday night. She insisted she wasnt afraid to walk home alone at night. These were different times she insisted.

    Hockmeier married and had two children. Her daughter, Phyllis, studied to be a nurse. Later, she mar-ried a Lutheran pastor and they settled in Peoria. Sadly, she passed away from cancer at the age of 57. Her son, Rudy is a farmer, and he also drives a truck. He lives south of Boxholm. Currently, Marie has 13 grandchil-dren.

    Marie described happy times as she worked with chickens at the Dixon Hatchery. It seemed a small world as we realized she tended flock just across the street from my present-day home. I love to work, insisted Hckemeier. If it werent for the fact I am about to be 93, I would love to work. As I listened to Marie, I real-ized this wasnt just a sound byte. This zest for life was inherent in her character, and I felt myself the richer as I continued to learn of her life story.

    At the age of 27, Marie came down with polio. Though doctors told her shed never walk again, Ma-rie kept at her rehabilitation. Im the kind of person, if I need to do something, Im just going to do it, she insisted. Eventually, and with much will-power, Marie overcame polio and learned to walk again. Though in a rare moment of sadness, Marie recounted the passing of a very dear friend to polio. He was just a teenager, offered Marie I just felt so bad for him.

    Marie Hockemeier was married twice in her life-time. She was first married to Clarence Hckemeier, and he later died of cancer. Secondly, she married Donald Ferguson of Paton. He later died of an aneurism. Hock-meier insists pastoral visits have always been an essen-tial part of her life. She says she enjoys all the pastors that visit in the care center, but her church home pastor is Pastor Robert Zellman of Trinity Lutheran Church in Farnhamville.

    In the time that followed, I learned of Mrs. Hock-emeiers green thumb. She raised a prize winning tomato that weighed two pounds, and also farmed two prize winning baking potatoes. I love flowers, insist-ed Marie. As I prepared to leave, Marie offered me a Christmas cactus. I promised to take care of the plant as she offered advice regarding care. That day I left with a plantmy very first gift as a reported, but I left with so much more. I had come to know a woman with a gen-erous heart, seemingly straight from my pastors most memorable sermon.
