The Southeast Valley football team walk onto the field united to take on Shenandoah.

Jaguar offensive, defensive lines

have great game in Homecoming win
49-26 victory over Shenandoah. . .
By Glenn Schreiber

The Southeast Valley Jaguars routed
Shenandoah 49-26 at their Homecoming game
in Gowrie Friday night.

The Jaguars dominated the game from
the beginning as they took the opening drive and
marched down the field. The drive was culminated by a Jay Lizer 20-yard touchdown run.

The Jaguars finished with a whopping
547 yards in total offense. It was a total team
effort as seven different people scored a touchdown and the offensive line opened many holes.

This was a great win for the program
and being homecoming makes it that much better, said coach Mike Swieter. Coach Swieter
commended the Jaguar fans and knows this was
a new all time record for attendance.

The Jaguars led the entire game and only
punted one time. Southeast Valley led at the half
30-20.

Ryan True ran for a 10 yard touchdown
and they caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from
Myles David in the first half.

The Jaguars had one good defensive
stand. Aaron Swieter then ran 15 yards for another Jaguar touchdown.

The relentless Jaguars retained their intensity in the second half as they rushed the ball
and then quarterback Myles Davis connected
with Conner Conrad for a 14-yard touchdown

pass.

Davis, who was 10-16 for 163 yards,
threw a 68 yard touchdown strike to Cade King.
Davis also threw a touchdown pass to Dakota
Jaescke.

The skill positions get all the touchdowns but coach Swieter wants to make sure
everyone knows you cant have that many yards
without the line completely dominating the line
of scrimmage.

Coach Swieter commented on how coach
Jim Duncan always has his linemen ready and
this shows in how well we were able to move
the ball. Coach Swieter wants the boys to enjoy
this win but come Monday it will be time to get
ready for next week.
Jaguar highlights

Ryan True led in rushing with 123 yards
on 16 carries and two touchdowns. Aaron Swieter had 12 carries for 86 yards and one touchdown.

The Jaguar defensive line controlled the
line of scrimmage. Defensive tackle Chase Mobley led in solo tackles with eight and defensive
end Tom Nahnsen led in assisted tackles with
eight. Defensive end Dylan Anderson had a
fumble recovery.
Still can improve

Coach Swieter noted that the team had
seven penalties and also had two fumbles. We
gave up way too many plays, said coach Swieter. We need to improve on pass defense and
the option.

Iowa Ag Secretary Bill Northey

meets local residents in Gowrie
At Dr. Hubbards home. . .

More than fifty supporters of Bill Northey, Iowas incumbent Secretary of Agriculture,
gathered at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Richard
Hubbard, Gowrie, the morning of Sept. 8.

There were many reasons for attendance, but pride in agriculture was a central rallying cry of the event. A good time was had by
all, and many were thankful for the chance to
speak with Bill Northey personally, as well as
several other candidates for political office.

Every single town or place he (Northey) visits, he recognizes or knows people, explained Political Director Tyler Campbell. Id
heard terrific things about him even before I
joined the campaign.

Hes a great guy to work for, and he really knows about agricultural issues important
to Iowans.

After delicious cookies, breads and fruit
provided by Jean Hubbard were served, Dr.
Hubbard introduced his familys deeply rooted

POET General Manger

connection with the Northey family.

He explained that Bill Northeys mother
and Jean Hubbard grew up together in Minburn.
They became good friends, and that friendship
has led to participation in Northeys political
ventures. The Hubbards hosted a similar rally
eight years ago, but they emphasized this was a
larger event.

Bill Northey has done such a good job
connecting. I could always count on his presence at all meetings pertaining to agriculture,
said Dr. Hubbard.

After the introduction of several other
Republican candidates for office, Northey took
the floor.

Its folks like you, and events like this
that make this all happen, said Bill Northey.

The importance of supporting agriculture remained a central theme in Northeys
campaign promises. He cited the value of nonagricultural folks as part of the momentum in
securing our states foremost industry.

He emphasized there is tremendous enthusiasm and optimism among students at our
state colleges as well as community colleges.

There certainly is a renewal of appreciation for agriculture springing up within the
state, said Northey.

In closing, Northey emphasized a great
deal of work must be done to ensure and maintain water quality.

Farmers will do these things on their
own if they are allowed to. This is much preferable to regulatory processes, said Northey.

Gary Eischeid, General Manager of

POET Biorefining Gowrie, traveled to Washington, D.C. September 14-17 to meet with
Congressional officials and highlighted the
important role ethanol plays in reducing our
dependence on foreign oil and revitalizing the
American economy.

Eischeid joined Growth Energy leaders,
including CEO Tom Buis and Co-Chairman of
the Board General Wesley Clark (Ret.), for a
series of meetings on Capitol Hill. Discussion
focused on the current state of the industry and
stressed the importance of protecting the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).

The intent of the Renewable Fuel Standard is to give consumers more choice at the
gas pump and to put renewable fuels on a levelplaying field with the oil industry. Any movement away from this intent is not what consumers are looking for and it will chill investment
in cellulosic ethanol and advanced biofuels development, said Eischeid. I appreciated the
opportunity to meet with each office to discuss
By Lisa Peterson
what the biofuels industry means to the people
and communities in Iowa and look forward to
building upon this relationship going forward.

During the trip, Eischeid met with the
offices of Rep. Steve King (IA-4), Senator
Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Senator Tom Har-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOXHOLM!

It doesnt seem like a year since I visited
Boxholm to celebrate the towns 100th anniversary of incorporation. Now in a few days it
will have been 101 years. From a very reliable
source I learned that the town was platted in
April of 1900 but it took 13 years to actually
be incorporated and official. Undoubtedly
there were settlers and homesteaders in the
area prior to a towns developing. Such it was
in those early days of our country, our state. I
had mentioned before that the surrounding area
was one of the last in the state to attract agriculture and settlers because so much was
swamp land that had to be drained and tiled
to keep it from reverting to swampland. Most
of the readers are still aware of the peat fields
around that pond up (even with tiling) when
there are a chain of heavy rains and cloudbursts
and the need every so often of re-tiling.

With the people moving in, many
Swedish immigrants, there was a need and
opportunity for various tradesmen and entrepreneurs, many of whom were also Swedish.
While farmers could and would be raising a lot
of their own food, both meat and vegetables
and preserving for consumption through the
year, there was always the need of flour, sugar,
coffee (of course, they were Swedes) and other
staples, splurging on some spices and maybe
a small bag of hard candy for the kids. So
stores sprang up. They would be using gear
for their horses so a need for harness retail and
repair. The horses would need shoeing and
wagons and plows fixed sometimes beyond the
farmers expertise so a blacksmith shop was
needed. On the side, the one who repaired the
harness could also re-sole boots and shoes
didnt need new ones if that task would suffice.
Eventually there had to be a place for the farmer to sell his crops and thus granary operations
came into being before elevators. They probably also sold seed to fill in when the farmer
hadnt gleaned enough from his own crop .No
hybrids then. People would be coming into
town (before it was official even) so someone
built a hotel. Those people may need a place
to find nourishment and others in area might
need a meal (or a cold beer?) so another establishment came. Eventually a hardware store
and lumber yard were needed. Did Boxholm
have a livery stable? Most small towns often
did. Soon there were more and more businesses to serve both townspeople and farmers.
The railroad had come through so this was an
ideal place to put the little community called
Boxholm which was named for a hometown in
Sweden. In fact, before the settlement was actually platted in 1900 and almost a decade and
a half prior to the incorporation of Boxholm
the old depot was built in 1899. The first
railroad was called the Newton-Northwestern.
Ft. Dodge- Des Moines & Southern electrified
line came after that. It served well, especially
during the war years when gasoline and other
fuel was limited. The farmers could still bring
in their crops to the elevators and get them to
market and others, myself included, had inexpensive transportation to Fort Dodge or Boone
when we needed clothing and other things not
available in the small town.
`
Now that depot is gone, having been
razed in 1976. It had been serving the community a long time. The only station agent I ever
knew was Leonard Gelder. The depot had sat
empty for a long time after the railroad ceased
operation and thus by the time it was razed,
there was little salvageable lumber. It would
have made a good auxiliary museum had it
been in better condition and/or not so expen-

sive to restore. The past fades away for everything. It is not a Swedeland anymore but a
melting pot, with very few direct descendants
of the original immigrant settlers but they
are a proud bunch and strive to keep alive at
least a memory. The businesses have faded
away, buildings torn down and/or abandoned
waiting their turn. Churches population has
dwindled with decrease in town and surrounding population, due to larger farms, smaller
average family sizes, access to better, easier
transportation and just the march of time. The
school district has combined and merged and
combined to the place where our old building
appears to be on the brink of its Waterloo.
Will it someday go the way of the depot, old,
dilapidated, rotting away where not much will
be salvageable? I know it wont be in my time
but --- perhaps your great or great grandchildrens.

Nonetheless, HAPPY 101st birthday,
Boxholm. Perpaps some of your townsfolk
will meet at the community building or restaurant over some coffee or??? and remember
times past. Have one for me coffee (decaf)
that is!

It's Your Life...

David Stokesbary directs PV School plays;

writes two plays, poetry
By Cassidy Riley

It is well known the most common profession among those involved in government is
law. According to an Economist article, careers
in business and diplomacy are also popular.
However, Gowries mayor Dave Stokesbary is
fond of none of those. With a degree in English,
the 66-year-old says if he could do anything he
would direct plays.

Before he decided to engage in city government, Stokesbary was a probation officer
under Iowa Community Based Corrections for
more than decade. He also spent more than 20
years as an investigator for the Fort Dodge Public Defenders Office. He said for all the years
he worked in the criminal justice system it was
only a job to him. His passion has always fallen
in the arts.

I did the other jobs because I had to pay
for things, because I like things, he said.

It was the early 90s when Stokesbary
began directing plays at Prairie Valley High
School. He said at first the children were essentially in charge of the theater program.

[They told me] all you got to do is kind
of stand around because weve got this handled, he said.

Over time he would interject suggestions during rehearsal and he saw himself getting better at directing.

You can get people to say the lines
but can you get the person to really understand

where the character is coming from? Thats

what I think I challenge them to do. I enjoy doing that, he said.

Stokesbary worked as the director of
the school plays for 11 years. He took a break
for four years and returned in 2011. He has also
directed plays in Fort Dodge at the Hawkeye
Community Theatre.

He said he especially remembers his
production of To Kill a Mockingbird with the
community theatre. The role of Scout was
played by a nine-year-old girl and he enjoyed
helping her understand how much her character
truly loves her dad.

She got better at nine-years-old, he
said. I dont have any stories like that from being a probation officer, he said.

Over the years Stokesbary also dabbled
in playwriting. He has written two plays: The
Massively Exciting Adventure of Maki Phundishadiapour at Deep River Falls Senior High and
The Reversal of Fortune of Marvin Pygmalion.
The former is about a young son of a goat farmer who is sent to a high school in America in
place of an Indian prince. The school mistakenly thinks Maki Phundishadiapour is the prince.
The boy is then kidnapped and the students at
the school must rescue him.

The latter is about a man whose wife
dies in a tragic accident and God sends an angel
to tell him he should never have married her in
the first place. The man becomes young again

David amd Marla Stokesbary

and begins dating a woman who looks just like

his sweetheart God planned for him to marry
originally. God intends for him to marry this
young girl but things dont quite go according
to plan.

It makes me cry when I think about it
because I cried when I wrote it, Stokesbary
said.

Stokesbary was also the President of the
Iowa Poetry Association for four years. He said
he enjoys writing light and silly poems.

Im Mr. Obvious. My stuff just smacks
you in the face, he said. There are some people who write stuff and they connect gardening
or something to some life experience and its
really good. Im not sure I would be able to do
that.

With such strong love for the arts, one
may wonder why Stokesbary decided to involve
himself in the complicated and oftentimes nonsensical world of government. He said he felt a
need to give back to the city.

We chose to be in a community and if
you choose to be in a community you kind of
have an obligation to get involved and get your
two cents worth, he said. Dont just complain,
participate.

Stokesbary served three terms on the
Gowrie City Council and is currently in his first
term as mayor. He said he never had a desire to
be involved in politics but he does try to help
the city grow in a positive direction.

I had no interest in power or control,
he said. You need relatively intelligent people
to make the decisions for your city. Thats real
government. The crap that happens in Washington and Des Moines, thats politics. The real
government happens on the bottom end here.

Despite having spent so much of his life
working outside of his area of passion, Stokesbary said the arts are so important to him because they touch hearts and shape lives.

I think its more of an emotional thing.
Its touching on whats human in us, he said.
We can make all kinds of scientists. We can
teach them math and they can figure out how

to right are, Ryan Pennebaker, Kelsey Stokesbary, Alyssa Stokesbary, Jon Weiss, Jennifer thats not going to make them better human beings. I think thats what the arts do. [It] explores

machine that breathes

Quilt Show fundraiser Saturday, Sunday

Oct. 4, 5 at Lehigh Historical Museum

THE GOWRIE NEWS

By Lisa Peterson

Pork Sandwiches served. . .

There will be a Quilt Show and grilled

pork sandwiches at the Quilt Show Saturday and
Sunday, Oct. 4 and 5, in Lehigh.

The free Quilt Show will be at the Lehigh
Museum (old depot) and at Golden Memories in
downtown Lehigh.

Displaying her quilts is Sandy Anderson, a resident of Minnesota. Sandy is a sister
of Doug Linn, treasurer of the Lehigh Museum.

Many other residents of Lehigh and area
towns will also be displaying their quilts. There
will be two Gardini sister quilts also displayed.

The Quilt Show will be a fundraiser for
the Lehigh Museum. Money raised will be used
for upgrading the museum. A new bathroom on
the main floor needs to be constructed.

The grilled pork sandwiches will be
served starting at 10 a.m. in the parking lot ad-

jacent to the Lehigh Museum.

The pork was donated by an area farmer.
Lee Wright Meats, Eagle Grove, has donated the
processing/meat cutting and wrapping.

On Sunday, Oct. 5, Cruise Through the
Woods will be traveling through Lehigh.

We want to upgrade our museum and
we are pleased that so many people have helped
us, said Roger Smith, president of the Lehigh
Museum. Old Home Bakery group provided
buns for a very nominal fee and the Dayton
Community Grocery furnished some items at
cost.

We have a bathroom at the museum
in the basement and we need one on the main
floor, said Roger. We would like to provide
two bathrooms. We would also like add to our
museum building.

Gowrie Cub Scout

Pack 42 begins
popcorn, wreath sales

Its that time of year again! Cub scouts
from pack 42 will soon be knocking on doors
around Gowrie and surrounding communities. The annual fundraising drive provides the
scouts an opportunity to share the social and
leadership skills theyve developed, while allowing community members the chance to meet
the young aspiring scouts face to face. The sale
of delicious popcorn and fragrant wreaths provide a great backdrop to this interaction.

The combination of both popcorn and
wreath sales proved a bit ambitious last fall;
however, the second year of sales has initiated
some changes many may appreciate. Scouts
will be selling Grab and Go bags of popped
caramel popcorn at a cost of $10 a bag for those
who would like to receive their purchase on the
day of the sale. Additionally, scouts will also be
taking popcorn orders to be delivered at a later
date. Wreaths are back by popular demand, and
the scouts of Pack 42 would like to ensure these
are delivered much earlier than last season.

Several mystery houses been selected
in the communities of Gowrie, Farnhamville,
and Gowrie. The preselected homes have been
issued a reward certificate. These reward certificates may be redeemed for a prize by the scout
knocking on one of these lucky doors.

Keep an eye out for these ambitious
youngsters starting the week of September 29th!

THE GOWRIE NEWS

Area biker returns to his roots

after writing book with ex-cop

11

or worse people or both. Once exposed to the

prison system, its a rare person who turns his
life around. Nearly half find themselves incarcerated again within three years. That needs to
be fixed.

Book signing in Badger. . .

By Jill Viles

An unlikely pairing of co-authors drew
a substantial crowd at Knuckleheads, a Badger
Bar and Grill, the afternoon of September 6th.
Amidst the backdrop of a gentle late summer
breeze and the fragrant aroma of ribs and BBQ
pork, curiosity seekers arrived by the dozens for
the chance to greet Pat Matter and Chris Omodt.
Some clutched a single book in hand, while others waited patiently to buy a copy.

One woman opened a cardboard box to
reveal more than 20 purchased copies with requests for personalized signatures. The honored
guests signed copies and answered questions
about their book, Breaking the Code: A True
Story by a Hells Angel President and the Cop
who Pursued Him.

Their true story novel, released August
1st, is the best-selling legal/crime science novel.
It describes the decades long crusade to imprison
Pat Matter, a 20 year veteran of the Hells Angel
and chapter president--a man with a penchant
for drugs, violence, and life in the fast lane.

Chris Omodt, the Hennepin county cop
assigned to the beat, develops a fascination into
the human soul behind this elusive cat and
mouse chase. By the time of the time they collaborated on a book, Omodt and Matter become
lifelong friends.

So, which ones the Hells Angel, and
which ones the cop?

I couldnt help my smirk as I approached
the book-signing table. I wouldve probably
pegged Chris Omodt as the officer, but Pat Matter didnt play into my idea of a hard-core, hardliving biker with a vengeance for havoc and
law-breaking. Intermittently he waved to his
wife, Trish, a beautiful, yet unassuming blonde
relaxing in the lawn chair beside him.

Through the conversation I gathered
theyd been together since 1988, and he proclaimed Trish as his reason for leaving a life of
crime for good.

It had been a long awaited meeting-inthe-making for some visitors to the book-signing.

Remember me? was a familiar refrain
as long lost friends took a seat across from Pat
Matter. In moments, quizzical glances were replaced by generous back slaps and memories of
the past from junior high to Matters early biker
years in Fort Dodge.

In the novel, Pat Matter recalls his early
years with the Fort Dodge Grim Reapers. Locals
may recall the name as a biker club involved in
a shootout in Fort Dodge in November of 1974.
As Matter and his friend, Rick Wingerson, were
walking between two bars, Crinnigans and The
Blue Bomber, shots rang out, and Matter realized Wingerson had been fatally wounded.

As the story evolves and Matter moves
north to Minneapolis, Matter and Omodt cross
paths on several occasions. In his earliest exchanges with Matter, Omodt recalls trying to
strike up a conversation with him as they ride
together in the back seat of a police cruiser on
the way to the police station.

At first, Matter shrugs off Omodts curiosity about his motorcycle business, with a
terse, You cant possibly be interested. But,
over the years, as their lives cross time and time
again, trust grows.

Chris Omodt was truly the only cop I
could trust. Im not saying theyre all bad, but
there are a lot of crooked cops out there. Some
that get away with a lot of things, things you
wouldnt believe.

Rumors circulated about a potential

movie deal, so I sought the scoop from Omodt

and Matter.

Weve been approached by one party
out of Hollywood, but havent agreed to anything yet, explained Omodt. Weve also been
contacted by an agent out of New York City.

Though a movie contract is not yet in
the works, the novel provides many interesting
scenes that could be adapted for the big screen.
As I read the novel, the interjection of humor
struck me. One scene in particular, reminded me
of Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop. Matter
recalls the unforgettable story as a fellow biker
calls from prison and pleads with Matter to empty out the contents of his home.

As Matter arrives, he sees that federal
agents are already on the scene, and the property is draped with crime scene tape. Not one
to be easily daunted, Matter and a buddy don
official looking tow truck uniforms and return to
the scene, removing the tape without hesitation
and backing a tow truck on the property. Moving
without trepidation or fear, the Feds assume they
have been hired by the government to seize stolen property, and ignore the fact they are removing a $100,000 vehicle right under their noses.

The game goes both ways, however. Later a search warrant on Matters property fails to
reveal the location of more than $50,000 in cash,
believed to be hidden on Matters property. Pat
Matter and his wife breathe a sigh of relief as
they agents leave after an exhaustive search of
the property.

Minutes later, a knock at the door heralds the return of the agents. Forgot to tell us
about that false bottom in bureau drawer, the
officer explained pushing past Matter. Dont
worry, you friends wife told us all about it.

In moments, more than $80,000 in cash
was identified in the false bottom of the bureau.
Ultimately when Matter is brought to justice, he
must turn over a large amount of cash believed
to be hidden on his property. Its rumored that at
least $500,000 is buried in PVC pipes in his yard.
Always charismatic, Matter accepts the deal and
prison sentence, but proffers, Can you wait for
a spring thaw? with regard to the money. Come
spring, the money was located on his land.

I liked how honest he was, said Sharon
Hindrichs of Fort Dodge, a fan of the book. He
really didnt want to kill anyone. There were
times he acted a lot meaner than he was.

Pat Matter agrees with the concept of an
honest portrayal of the events. This book is the
real deal, emphasizes Matter. I was hardcore.
You have to be to be president of the Hells Angels for twenty years. You have to be all in.

I was around the toughest guys around.
Guys like Sammy the Bull Gravano. I woke up
one day and I thought, do I really want to be
here? explains Matter.

Ultimately, Matter has truly turned his
life around. He has joined Trishs church and
devoted his life to his faith and family. He finds
inspiration in the fact those on both sides of the
law find meaning in the story he and Omodt
share.

Chris Omodts quote is derived from
their novel, The thing about police work, at
least for me, is that seeing people turn their lives
around is a lot more satisfying than seeing them
get tossed into prison. I dont pretend to have all
the answers, but theres got to be a better way to
rehabilitate people than our current penal system. Pat was strong. He came out of the system
okay.

But prison culture is poisonous. People
frequently come out of prison as better prisoners

I was in the restaurant yesterday when
I suddenly realized I desperately needed to
pass gas. The music was really, really loud, so I
timed my gas with the beat of the music.

After a couple of songs, I started to feel
better. I finished my coffee, and noticed that
everybody was staring at me....

Then I suddenly remembered that I was
listening to my iPod.
