Help the Gowrie

Street Crews
keep you safe

The City of Gowrie, is asking for the
Gowrie residents help. In this winter season if
the residents could remember a few things, it
would create a safer work environment for our
employees, and in turn help us provide a safer
road surface for you.

A loaded plow truck or sander could
weigh as much as 10 small cars, and needs
more room to stop, especially on slick surfaces.
Even if you have the right of way, the snowplow may not be able to stop if you pull out.
If you will just wait a few more seconds, you
will have a plowed and possibly sanded surface
on which to drive. Remember the sand & salt
truck spreads material out of the back, so please
dont follow to close, as we dont want your vehicle to be damaged by flying sand and material.

Please keep all of your vehicles off the
streets before, during & after it snows. Also
please keep any of your vehicles off of the right
of way (in between the sidewalk & the street)
to ensure that the plow truck has a place to pile
the snow off of the street & also ensure that no
damage comes to your vehicles.

Any type of mailbox located within the
City right-of-way is subject to damage or destruction at any time, as a result of City snow
removal. The City of Gowrie shall not assume
any liability for damaged mailboxes of any type
constructed within the City right-of-way.

Finally, please dont dump, throw, or
blow snow into the street. This creates bumps
that you and others have to drive over, and if
these piles freeze, and we hit them with a plow,
it can damage City equipment or cause injury
to crew members. This of course means higher
costs to you as a taxpayer.

With your help, snow plowing can be
done better, faster, more efficiently, and at the
same time, make our streets safer for you. We
are always here to serve you better.

The snow blankets Gowrie and area
communities saturday afternoon.
Gowrie records first

snowfall Nov. 10;
more snow Saturday
Below average temps. . .

Gowrie and the surrounding towns of
Farnhamville, Callender, and other area communities had their first snowfall of the year
which started on Monday, Nov. 10 and finished
the next day.

It was a very light covering of snow, but
it was significant because of the early date for
snow.

Even more significant were the temperatures which plummeted to the the teens. The
highs for the week were in the mid-twenties to
slightly over 30 and one day the high was less
than 20.

The low temps were in the teens or below. Wind chills were below zero on some days
depending on wind velocity.

An arctic cold front brought frigid air
to Iowa and the Midwest. These were January
temperatures in the fall of the year.

Area farmers had been scrambling to
havest their crops and do field work during a
very wet, rainy September, October and November. And now early snow further complicated
weather conditions.
Snowplows remove
Saturday snowfall

On Saturday Southern Webster County
received another three inches of snow falling
gradually Saturday afternoon through most of
Saturday night.

The communities of Gowrie, Farnhamville and Callender and others used their snow A Cardinal flits around on the fresh plows for the first time on Sunday to remove
snow.
snowfall Monday, Nov. 10.

Paranormal life, the supernatural,

explored at Gowrie library event
THE GOWRIE NEWS
Part two of exciting local gathering. . .

By Jill Viles

The world of the supernatural was explored at a recent Sunday event at the Gowrie
Public library. Some 65 people attended the
gathering with a presentation made by RIPP,
Researches in Paranormal Phenomenon.

The event was provided by the Gowrie
Public Library. Shelly Nelson, and her sister,
Pat, served as gracious hostesses and they offered delicious pumpkin bars and lemonade
for refreshments.cern involves the backing up
of traffic onto Market Street during peak travel
times.

Previously, RIPP has utilized the presence of a medium, a person with the ability to
communicate with spirits. During one encounter, the womans contact with the dead occurred
through a handwritten message.

FBI handwriting analysis of the document confirmed the medium wrote in a different
style of handwriting when translating a message
from beyond than her everyday handwriting.

For those still skeptical of the presence
of paranormal phenomenon, the group also offered EVP. evidence, electronic voice phenomenon.

EVP is so sensitive, you can hear a
mouse fart in the corner, the presenter jokingly explained. In reality, EVP is so sensitive
it can pick up a voice that cant be heard. Often E.V.P.s are uncovered as the group listens
to a recorded playback of the investigation of a
haunting.

Thanupakorn explained that EVP.s are
often hard to understand, and to illustrate she
played several examples for those in attendance.
However, when audible, these recordings can
sometimes illustrate incredible insight into the
thought processes of those from beyond.

In one recording, a voice is heard to say,
Lets go see that thing and wait. In this instance the entity was following a camcorder, but
perhaps lived in a time before the invention of
the camcorder, and therefore must simply refer
to it as that thing.

In contrast, sometimes a word, or words
cannot be translated, even after many hearings.
As an example, the presenter played a recording
that seemed to say, nice veg. Those following
the presentation listened to the recording over
and over, but failed to come up with any other
explanation of the phrase. Alternatively, a clear
recording can be chilling, such as the case of
hush, or Lucifer, clearly understandable on
playback.

Though thrill seekers seemed to be encouraged the R.I.P.P.s work, the group admonished them not to seek out paranormal phenomenon. A Ouija board, for example, is considered
by most in the paranormal community a very
dangerous tool.

You dont know who you are speaking
to, explained one member. The entity may
say they are a child, but are they really?

Additionally the group insists, you have
to think about who may have visited a haunt-
ing site before you. For example, your team

may insist on the exclusion of Ouija boards
and witchcraft, but who was there before you?
What types of activities did these participants
take part in? What presence have they already
stirred up before your arrival? These types of
questions seemed to resonate with curiosity
seekers in attendance.

You have to be worried about spirits
that are deceiving, Jeanette warned. I feel so
sorry for people who arent Christian to venture
into sites like these.

Additionally, the group members admonish it is important to be respectful, not only
to the spirits, but also to the persons residing
in the home. They explain they dont seek to
encourage a haunting by saying something like,
Come on out Uncle Harry. We know youre in
here.

Instead, they seek to remember at all
times that those who have sought out their services will be returning once the investigation
is over, and this is, after all, a home. Also, no
monetary fee is requested for those seeking
paranormal investigation.

RIPP. has also studied with members of
Sci-fis Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters International, Destination Truth, Fact or Faked
Paranormal Files, The Haunted Collector,
and A&Es Walking Dead. They insist these
weekend excursions allow for greater insight
into the world of paranormal investigation, as
well as opportunities to make new friends.

Members of the RIPP team include
Jeanette Thanupakorn, Karen Schoon, Aey
Thanupakorn, Haley Thanupakorn, Carol
Heatherington, Mark Steinberg, and Caroline
Steinberg.

ICCC receives grant to improve

Health care education programs
$883,292 goes towards simulators in health care field;
Simulator center to have eight types of lab settings. . .

Iowa Central Community Colleges
Health programs are very excited about receiving the TAACCCT Grant. The Trade Adjustment Assistant Community College and Career
Training grant (TAACCT) is a federal grant
geared toward introducing or replicating innovative and effective methods for designing
and delivering instruction that address specific
industry needs and lead to improved learning,
completion, as well as demonstrate improved
employment outcomes.

Through the TAACCT grant we received $883,292 to be utilized to expand our
Healthcare Simulation capabilities at Iowa
Central Community College. The majority of
the funds will be to purchase simulation mannequins and supplies required to run the lab.
The grant also funds the salaries of the personnel required to make this endeavor successful
and sustainable.

Although most of us are not familiar
with simulation it has been used in the military,
aviation, spaceflight, and many other industries
and businesses for a number of years. Pilots
need to complete a specific number of hours in
a flight simulator before their first true flight in
an airplane; now simulation has moved into the
health care arena to better health care prepare
students as well as to provide the necessary
continuing education for working health care
professionals.

In the past and still today, clinical and
continuing education instructors strive to give
learners enough real life situations in the clinical setting to insure that the learner becomes
competent at all skills. This cannot always be
guaranteed since certain situations may not
be occurring at the time of scheduled clinical
hours.

Healthcare professionals receive traditional training about a new procedure or treatment, but what is missing is the hands-on
application to a real-life situation. With simulation, training can be enhanced by simulating
a life-like situation with the mannequins so the
professional has to react and demonstrate and
apply hands-on what they have learned with the
new procedure or treatment.

Health simulation is utilizing modern
technology that allows for practice learning
needed for students or health care professionals. Healthcare simulation improves patient
outcomes, safety, effectiveness, and efficiency
of healthcare services.

Simulation training utilizes life-size,
computer-operated mannequins programed to
simulate certain patient conditions or situations. The simulators are state-of-art technology that mimic varied breathing patterns and
have breath sounds as well as heart sounds that
the participant hears when utilizing a standard
stethoscope.

The mannequins have a pulse that can
be felt and the circulatory system can be filled
with simulated blood so that students may draw
blood or start an IV to administer fluids and
medications. The pupils of the mannequins
eyes can be dilated to light and a voice response
can be programmed into the computer or come
directly from the simulation technical staff supervising the training. These examples are just
a few of the functions that the simulators can be
programed to provide.

We are currently developing the plans
for this simulator center to allow for eight different types of lab settings to allow us to pro-
vide a comprehensive array of scenarios for different ages and in different settings.

The simulation labs planned will include
a Medical-Surgical room, a Labor & Delivery
Room, a Nursery, a Pediatric room, a Critical
care room, an Emergency room, an apartment
setting, and an ambulance simulator room. The
simulated rooms will have audio-visual equipment installed to provide the ability to record
the simulated scenario and then complete what
we call a debriefing.

During a debriefing session, the health
care professional and/or student will be able to
review their video-recorded actions performed
during the scenario to determine areas of needed improvement.

Iowa Centrals Nursing and EMS health
programs have been utilizing health simulation
since January 2011. We currently have one pediatric simulator as well as one male and one female in our Fort Dodge center. The Storm Lake
and Webster City nursing program centers each
have one female simulator. We plan to add a
birthing simulator equipped with a small newborn simulator.

This simulator will provide a regular
vaginal experience, as well as a Cesarean section birth experience for the student or profesICCC Continued on page 7...

Gowrie Police Report

Calendar captain surrenders the helm...

The household calendar has been my
responsibility for 20-plus years. Any human
being in charge of his or her family calendar
understands the significance of this duty. The
calendar is the helm of the family ship. It steers
us in the direction dictated by the days agenda.
A good captain holds tight to the helm and
ensures accurate and efficient schedule fulfillment.
Problem is, Im not much of a captain. Im
more like Gilligan.

If a schedule or appointment can be
confused, bumbled, misinterpreted, forgotten
or otherwise discombobulated, I am your gal.
I did it again today. Youd think after all these
years my husband would be fed up with my
inadequacy and take over the duties himself
sort of like what I did with him and the laundry.
Who am I kidding? Hes smarter than that.

So here we are, less than a week into the
latest youth sports season. Today was the Parent
Meeting. Over the years Ive missed more
Parent Meetings than the castaways missed
opportunities for getting off that darn island.
But not today. Today I was prepared. I wrote
PARENT MEETING in big letters on the calendar. At the appointed hour both my husband
and I were in attendance, practically wearing
our Responsible Parent badges.

As we waited for the meeting to start,
one of the moms wondered out loud if the kids
were almost done practicing.
Practicing?

My face took on the expression of a
deer in the headlights: dazed, stunned and
unsure which way to run. I looked desperately
around the room, hoping to see other confused
parents. They were an antlerless bunch.
There was practice today? I tried to sound
nonchalant as I asked the facetious question.
It was listed on the website, said one mom.
In two places, said another.
Oops.

Id checked the schedule three times
that day and knew one thing for certain: it was
completely my fault. Somehow Id glossed
over the entry labeled Practice and replaced it
with the words, Take the afternoon off. There
wasnt anything I could say in my defense, so I
said nothing. After 20-plus years of scheduling
blunders, you learn to shut up and minimize
your damages. And avoid eye contact with your
husband.

In the end, I fessed up to the team
manager about my scheduling inabilities. She
was understanding. They usually are until they
experience a season or two of my schedulitis.

When I got home, I told my son about
the gaffe. Great, I missed already, he said. I
told you there was practice today.

I didnt remember that conversation.
But again, when youve got a record like mine
you recall not recalling any number of conversations that may or may not have taken place on
previous occasions for which you most likely
cannot pin down the date or time.

I know, he said. Ill keep track of my
own schedule. Then I wont miss anything.
The kid had a point. Besides, what do I have
to lose? (Other than my scheduling reputation,
and we all know that went down with the S.S.
Minnow.)

Its ingenious, really turning the schedule reigns over to a 12-year-old. Hell probably
get himself to practice on time and may even
learn a lesson about responsibility as a bonus. I

figure he cant do any worse than me and now
that I dont have to worry about being calendar
captain Ill be free to simply go with the flow
and enjoy the games.

Its going to be a great season.

Callender City Council

discusses matter
of old grain elevator
Partially dismantled. . .

The City of Callender is debating the future of a former grain elevator.

The grain elevator was partially dismantled by a company that is no longer in business
according to a story in the Fort Dodge Messenger.

Mayor Randy Hanson reports that the
elevator has been empty for at least 10 years.

The structure was sold to Mid-States
Millwright & Builders Inc. It hired a Kentucky
firm to raze the building and recycle the materials, but that firm is no longer in business.

Mid-States doesnt know what will happen with the grain elevator. The Callender City
Council was set to discuss the matter at its Tuesday council meeting.

Across the way - Another Memory...

Last week I tried to go home again
to the farm place but it could only be in my
memory or perhaps a bit of my imagination. I
couldnt remember that place and not remember the place across the fields to the south,
slightly east which had been almost a second
home. It, too, has a lot of memories. That was
where my special aunt and uncle, my second
set of parents, lived.
That was the place where I took refuge from
the roller ride with Dad. That was the place
where I sought the solace and comfort of my
aunt when I had taken a tumble on my bike,
sliding through the gravel. I got knee and arm
burns but was more concerned that I had
scratched the bike and the handle bars were
askew. She doctored both of us.

That was the place where I helped my
cousin slop the hogs. I thought that was a better job than feeding the chickens. I didnt get
all stuffed up around the hogs like I did around
the chickens and their feed. Who ever thought
about allergies then unless your case was very
severe?

That was the place where I watched my
uncle and cousin milk the cows, being sure to
stay a safe distance from the cows possible
kicking. I got a kick out of the cats hanging
around and getting their squirts
of milk right from the cow. Darall was quite
adept at aiming and the cat even more so in
catching it. I liked to crank the separator out
in the wash house. I was glad, however, that
Aunt Boo was the one who had to clean it up,
especially those numerous discs that were necessary for the separating of the cream from the
milk.

This was the farm on which I fell off the
manure spreader and didnt get hurt or trampled
by the horses. This is the place where I stepped
on the nail and was treated with turpentine and
lard. This is the place where I found the rotten
eggs (didnt realize at the time) and tossed them
at old machinery in the dump pile the breeze
wafted across the splattered eggs directly toward the house where doors and windows were
open. This is the place where I picked hundreds
of violets that blanketed the area around the
outhouse. This was the place where those big,
beautiful, better than florists gladiolus were
grown and sent to me at the birth of my first
child. This is the place where one Christmas
season the only tree my uncle could locate
was the one he obtained by climbing the tall
evergreen in the yard and topping it. This is
the place where my Mom had a long recuperation from an illness and was nursed by my
aunt. This was the place where I knew I could
always find a piece of cake or cookie in that
little corner cupboard. This was the place that
truly was my second home.

This was certainly a place of refuge.
Its where a hobo turned off his railroad trek at
the nearby crossing coming into that farmyard
seeking to have his hunger at least partially
satisfied. He sat on the porch with his sparsely
filled knapsack beside him devouring a simple
but filling meal. He was pleasantly surprised
when my uncle came out of the house bearing a heavy homemade, heavy woolen topped,
fleeced back comforter. He was told he could
keep the comforter as well as bed down on
a soft, warm pile of hay in one of the barns.
He did and was gone in the morning, possibly
having jumped on the late night freight train.
This was the place where the poor, scraggly,
collie type dog came wondering in one day,
looking quite bedraggled as if he had made a
long trip. Scraps were rounded up and a pan
of water produced. He devoured and lapped

vigorously and then looked up with appreciation in his eyes and wagging his tail. Collie, as he came to be called and responding
to, proceeded over the next few days to make
himself at home. Inquiries as to a missing
dog produced no information so how he came
to be there remained a mystery. It was soon
learned the next day when my uncle went out
to round up the cows for milking that Collie
was a herder. Collie first went with my uncle
to bring in the cows but soon was going on
his own with a Bring em up Collie! As the
years rolled by and as Collie became older and
feebler he no longer had to go out because the
cows had been well trained and came trotting
in response to Bring em up Colllie!

I remember winter nights when there
was a quilt set up on its frame close (but not
too close) to the little blue stove in the dining
room. There my Mom, Aunt Boo and Uncle
Pearl would while away cold evenings quilting the hand pieced quilts the ladies had made.
Uncle pearl could do as fine a stitch with his
small but brawny hands as the women could.

That house, I eventually learned, has
been sort of pieced together. When I became
acquainted with it, it had a kitchen, dining
room, living room and two small bedrooms
downstairs but Uncle Pearl took the wall out
between the two bedrooms to make one nice
sized one. Upstairs were two bedrooms but
the north one was only accessible through the
south one. There was a small door on the wall
of the south bedroom and behind that was a
low ceilinged attic space over the dining room.
When we first moved to the Boxholm area
Aunt Boo still had a big wooden, glass topped,
incubator up in the south bedroom where she
hatched her own spring baby chicks. If I got
there at the right times I could go observe
some as they broke through their shells. I
dont recall how that old piece of equipment
was heated or the heat regulated but it worked
quite well. They later purchased baby chicks
which had been ordered from some place in
Ft. Dodge or Boone.

The one interesting thing I learned
about that house was told to me by Grandma
(Mrs. Pete) Swanson. She said that the place
was originally one room and a porch. The
one room was what was eventually the dining
room and she said she recalled as a young girl
seeing that one room, log cabin being dragged
across the prairie by a team of horses to that
place. Then it had a porch built onto its north
side. That porch later became the kitchen. I
then knew why there was a slight step down to
the kitchen from the dining room and a bit of
a slope to the floor. The living room and bedrooms, up and down, were eventually added.
There was a doorway and a nice roofed porch
on the south side of the dining room. I have often wondered if that really was a log cabin behind those walls or just a crude lumber house.
Is there anyone who was around when it was
dismantled (for more farmland) a number of
years ago? If so, I would sure like to know
what they found, if anything unusual.

That house stayed pretty much the same
during the time Aunt Boo and Uncle Pearl
lived there, the dining room having wainscoting walls on the bottom, wall paper on top and
linoleum floors. As in most farm houses of the
time, living rooms were closed off in winter
unless you had a lot of special company. Just
too hard to heat with those coal/wood burning
stoves.

We cant go home again but even now
I can close my eyes and see my aunts, uncles,

cousins; traipsing in at Thanksgiving time when
it was my Aunts turn to be the hostess. The
goodies they brought were put in their proper
holding places til dinner and coats piled on
the bed. Its great moments like those that stay
with us. We are always thankful for the good
memories. Now recall some of your own.

Dayton Neighbors Publish

Childrens Book Together

Dianna Satterlee and Becky Morriss live
next door to each other in Dayton. Over the last
year, they have worked together to complete a
new childrens picture book, Saturdays at the
Bijou. Their first reading and signing will be
at the Dayton Library, Saturday, December 13,
2014.

This is an adventure straight out of
my childhood in Waterloo, Iowa, Dianna said.
Our landlord had been a Vaudeville child star.
She restored an old theatre when she retired
and we became special friends. She gave me a
forever pass to admit Dianna and ten of her
friends for Saturday afternoons. We bought
extra popcorn and candy with the money we
saved. We dropped it to hobo children under the
bridge on our way home.

Dianna is a retired elementary teacher
who specialized in reading, writing and library
science. She taught at Fair Oaks and Duncombe
schools in Fort Dodge, where she was known
as Mrs. Janicki. She has written multiple stories over the years, but has had trouble finding
an illustrator. That is, until she discovered that
Becky Morriss, living right next door, liked to
draw.

Becky has been an Emergency Medical
Technician and a Nursing Assistant at the Dayton Care Center. She later worked at Caseys
until she became disabled. She is also a staunch
supporter of the Lehigh Volunteer Fire Department, of which her son is a member. She says,
I have always loved to draw especially animals. I love anything with four feet and fur.
Diannas husband, David, also helped with the
final phases of the publishing process.

He gained experience while publishing seven of his own books. He said, It was
so satisfying to finally help Dianna put one of
her stories into print. Weve already started
work on another one called A Migrant Story.
It is informed by the experience of her daughter, Heather, who is a Social Worker near Iowa
City.
Dianna explains, My short stories tend to be
autobiographical and give a sympathetic telling
to the kind of energetic, out-of-the-box, joy-oflife child that I was long before hyperactive
became a pathology. I like to encourage children to take an interest in their world and expand the limits of their interests.

sional. An infant simulator will be purchased
for the Nursery and Pediatric room. We also
plan on adding another male simulator that can
be utilized in many different situations.

By adding an ambulance simulator,
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and other
health care professionals can obtain training on
caring for a patient in the back of an ambulance.
The ambulance simulator has movement to simulate the driving and bumps in the roads.

The apartment simulator lab setting will
allow simulation to be conducted for EMS personnel as well as for Home Health care, assisted living or long-term care, mental health, and
even law enforcement. In the apartment setting,
simulators will be utilized as well as role-playing by either drama students, students, or other
healthcare professionals.

Currently Iowa Central nursing students
have rotations through our simulation lab during assigned clinical hours and EMS utilizes the
simulators in the evenings for training as well.
When we asked students what they thought of

simulation, their comments include:

It allows us hands on experience prior
to having to do it on a real patient and also it
allows us to do things we have not got to do in
the clinical setting. (Rachel Pumper, Nursing
graduate February 2012)

It was helpful, especially by being able
to practice some life-like scenarios without the
pressure/stress of a real patient. (Sofia Hoces,
Nursing Graduate June 2013)

We are restricted on the number of students that can rotate through the simulation lab
due to lack of space and personnel. The expansion will allow us the ability to expand opportunities and allow us to offer simulated services
to outside health care facilities throughout the
region and state. Our goal is to better train our
health care students to enter their profession, as
well as to enhance training for health care professionals.

If you have questions contact Grant
Project Manager, Trina Staton, Dean of Health
Sciences, Iowa Central Community College.

Members the congregation enjoy fellowship together, along
with Rev. James Chesnutt.

We want Veterans to make Iowa their home...
In 2007, the Iowa Senate established a Veterans Affairs Committee, which has since approved wide-ranging initiatives to help veterans, service members and their families.
In 2010, Iowa became the first state to address the Department of Defenses top 10 quality of life issues identified by USA 4 Military
Families. The Iowa Veterans Council praised it
as the most successful year for veterans since
the 1950s. Weve followed it up with more
initiatives recommended by veterans organizations and service groups across the state.
Earlier this year, Iowa became one of the
first All-Star Vet States, a program that highlights opportunities and services to attract
military families. Part of what earned Iowa the

All-Star designation is our Home Base Iowa
effort, which helps veterans find jobs, explore
career paths and make a smooth transition to
civilian life.
Home Base Iowa is also a hub for employers and communities that want to attract military families. Companies are becoming Home
Base Iowa Businesses by pledging jobs specifically for veterans, and counties are offering
incentives to welcome veterans to Home Base
Iowa Communities.
As part of Home Base Iowa, we approved
legislation this year that will encourage more
veterans to make Iowa their home by:

to Developer consisting of 80% of the Tax Increments (i.e. incremental
property tax rebates) pursuant to Iowa Code Section 403.19 and generated
by the construction of the Minimum Improvements, the cumulative total for
all such payments not to exceed $4,444,000 plus interest, under the terms
and following satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Agreement and
the Amendment.

A copy of the Amendment is on file for public inspection during
regular business hours in the office of the County Auditor, Courthouse,
Fort Dodge, Iowa. At the above meeting, the Board shall receive oral or
written objections from any resident or property owner of said County,
to the proposal to enter into the Amendment with the Developer and the
Owner. After all objections have been received and considered, the Board
will at this meeting or at any adjournment thereof, take additional action the
proposal or will abandon the proposal to authorize said Amendment.

Motion carried unanimously.
