The Holiday Inn Airport Hotel in Des Moines was

the site of the 2015 FCCLA State Leadership Conference. Four members from the Southeast Valley FCCLA
Chapter, along with 600 members from chapters across
the state attended the conference which was held March
29-31, 2015.
The state leadership conference is an opportunity for
Iowa FCCLA members to celebrate the past year of hard
work on various projects as well as develop their leadership skills with members from around the state. The
2014-2015 yearlong theme was Capture the Moment.
Outstanding leadership was demonstrated through participation in STAR events, national programs, and peer
education by students in grades 7-12.
STAR Events (Students Taking Action with Recognition) are competitive events which members are
recognized for proficiency and achievement in chapter
and individual projects, career preparation and leadership. The members receiving the highest score in each
event category qualify to move onto the National STAR
Event competition held at the 2015 National Leadership
Conference in Washington, D.C. Three members from
the Southeast Valley FCCLA competed in three different
events. The members were also the top golds in their
respective categories and move on the national conference this summer. Hannah Peterson, junior, competed in
Teach and Train. Hannah completed a portfolio about
becoming and elementary/preschool teacher. Erica Nordin, junior, competed in Hospitality, Recreation, and
Tourism. Erica created a fictitious dance studio complete
with a website. Regina Cook, sophomore, competed in
the Career Investigation category learning about becoming a probation officer. Tatum Friesth also was a member
helping to be a room consultant for STAR Events. Tatum was the room consultant in Interior Design, Fashion
Construction, and Fashion Design. Congratulations to
Hannah, Erica, and Regina for earning top golds in their
events and moving on to national competition.
Peer Education is a state wide peer to peer learning program. Students can choose to be on one of four
teams: Student Body, Public Relations, Financial Fitness, and Families First. Members then complete three
creative projects revolving around their teams theme,
and apply the planning process to successfully complete
their project. Hannah Peterson, Erica Nordin, and Kate
Dyer all received a pin and certificate for completing all
three projects on time. This year the Families First team
reached 15,003 people in various communities.
Members also heard from Laymon Hicks, keynote
speaker. Mr. Hicks is the author of three books and the
former Student Body President at Florida State University where he managed a budget of $10.3 million. Laymon
shared his passion about following your dreams. He was
very entertaining as well as informative. Students also
heard from national FCCLA officer, Taylor Spangler. He
is the Vice president of Membership from Kansas.
Members were also invited to a college fair and
members attended different interest sessions ranging
from leadership, star events, personality styles, being an
effective leader, and learning about careers.
Congratulations to Southeast Valley FCCLA for their
success!

Southeast Valley Girls track team

continues to improve
The girls track team could not have asked for a better night to run. The night was beautiful.
The team started the night off slow, only scoring 2
points through eight events, and was in last place out of
10 teams.
The girls fought back and ended up getting 5th place
by the end of the meet.
The team is very young in the field events and the
long distance events. The team is not scoring the points
that they would like to be but Coach has told the girls as
long as you are trying and continue to improve that is all
he can ask.
The Distance Med and 4x400 relays knew they were
going to get tested by a talented Pocahontas team but the
girls were up for the challenge and won both of events.
Erica Rittgers and Natalie Lambert both won their
individual show downs in the 800 meter run and 400 Hurdles against some very tough compitition.

Great year for Iowa basketball;

Hawkeye state killer Roy Williams

Its been a great year in collegiate sports for
Iowa, Wisconsin and the Midwest this year. The NCAA
mens tournament was a highlight for Iowa, Wisconsin
and other adjacent states. We certainly can take pride in
some great accomplishments. And I did especially rejoice
in the Wisconsin-North Carolina game in the fact that
the Badgers beat Roy Williams and the Tar Heels. Im
sure Iowa basketball fans appreciated that victory since
Williams has recruited so many talented Iowa basketball
players over the years.

Just as the NCAA tournament was starting Dick
Liljegren, 88, Dayton, said he could never recall three
Iowa teams qualifying for the NCAA tournament before.
This year Iowa State, Iowa, and UNI all qualified for the
tournament. Iowa State was a three seed, UNI was a fifth
seed. and Iowa was a seventh. The Cyclones did lose in
the first round by just one point, but upsets do indeed happen. There were other top seeds which also were upset in
the tourney. Iowa State still had a great season.

UNI and Iowa both won their second round
games and then lost in the third round. Aaron White had
a great year with Iowa and Seth Tuttle was a standout at
UNI. Seth was named the Player of the Year in the Missouri Valley Conference. Seth, a native of tiny Sheffield
, IA, was the only active player in the nation with more
than 1,600 points (1,681), 850 career rebounds (875) and
250 career assists (267). Seth, with such an outstanding
year, was even considered for national Player of the Year.

Aaron White averaged 16.4 points per game and
had a great season. Aaron, who shoots 82% from the line,
and is a 56% shooter from two point range, is projected
to be a second round draft choice (50th overall) in the
upcoming NBA draft. In recent history Iowa can boast
many of their collegiate stars playing in the NBA including Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison, Dean Oliver, and Fred
Hoiberg.

Even though the three Iowa teams failed to make
the Sweet 16, it was still a great year for Iowa collegiate
basketball. And since Im a native of Wisconsin (resident of Iowa since 1984) I was also rooting for the Badgers who had the best team in the nation (yes, even better
than Duke although I am admittedly very prejudiced.)

The Badgers defeated some great teams en route
to the championship game. And I was personally elated
that the Badgers defeated North Carolina in the fourth
round. Tar Heel coach Roy Williams has made a living
recruiting great basketball players from Iowa and surrounding states and he is still doing it today.

One of the best North Carolina players this year
was Marcus Paige, who graduated from Linn-Mar High
School in Iowa. Paige made some big three pointers
against the Badgers, but Wisconsin was able to prevail.

Paige is one of several Iowa Mr. Basketball winners that Williams has recruited over the years. In 2010
he recruited Iowa Mr. Basketball Harrison Barnes from
Ames.

When Williams was the head coach at Kansas
he successfully recruited three Iowa Mr. Basketball winners in Raef LaFrentz (1994), Nick Collison (1999) and
Kirk Hinrich (1999). Hinrich (Sioux City West) and Collison (Iowa Falls) were co-winners that year. They were
tremendous players and had great years at Kansas. They
were both drafted in the NBA and Hinrich currently plays
for the Chicago Bulls and Collison plays for the Okla-

Security Savings Bank sponsors poster contest

designed by Southeast Valley fifth graders

Money Smart Week is a public awareness campaign
designed to help consumers better manage their personal
finances. Security Savings Bank sponsored a poster
contest created by the Southeast Valley 5th grade art class
with the guidance of their teacher, Mr. Lee. Each student
was to make a poster describing this theme: Why Is It
Important to Know About Money?

First place winner ($50) was awarded to Majesta
Jordison of Fort Dodge, 2nd place ($25) went to Caden
Larson of Callender and third place ($15) winner was
Carly Davis of Lehigh. These three winning posters
will be submitted to the Community Bankers of Iowa on
the state level for a chance to win a $500 Certificate of

homa City Thunder.

Williams heavily recruited Sam Dekker, the
great Sheboygan, Wisconsin star. Dekker opted to play
for Wisconsin. The top two scorers in the NCAA tournament were Wisconsin players Frank Kaminsky (national
Player of the Year) and Dekker (22 and 20 points a game
respectively). Both Kaminsky and Dekker are projected
to be relatively high first round draft picks in the NBA
draft. Kaminsky and Dekker really gave the Badges a
great one-two punch.

One day during the tourney I was visiting my
mother and brother Denis (living four blocks from me in
Mesa). Denis had the Big Ten Network channel on and
giving his analysis of the tourney was Jess Settles. Remember him? Jess was Mr. Iowa Basketball (WinfieldMt. Union) in 1993. And he was a great player for the
Iowa Hawkeyes.

It was wonderful to have two Big Ten Schools
in the Final Four. Two of the top five national Player of
the Year Candidates were from the Big Ten. The Big 12
had one team in the Sweet 16 (Oklahoma) and Louisville
(Midwest team) made it to the Elite eight. And lets not
forget that Ohio State, in the first ever national Collegiate
football playoffs, defeated Alabama to win the national
championship earlier this year. And finally, in the recent Masters Golf Tournament, we salute Iowas Zach
Johnson who finished in a tie for sixth place with a final
score of eight under par. Zach, an Iowa native, received
$270,000 for that finish!

So we salute all the great teams and athletes in
Iowa (and a salute to Wisconsin too). But cant we all
conspire to give Roy Williams a one-way ticket to Siberia?

Spring has sprung, the grass has riz!

Its official! Spring is officially here! How do I
know? On April 11th as I drove by I saw that the garden center at my neighborhood Hy-Vee store was open
and operating! It may have opened earlier but this was
the first I had been by for a few days. Not a lot was out
yet but the plastic covered dome was open and some
human activity evident within.

It was almost Spring on Easter Sunday. The
sun was shining brightly; it was quite warm and little
ones could have their Easter egg hunts outside but also
more welcome were the daffodils and flags on the
south side of the church,. Some tulips ready to pop
open. The churchs neighborhood three large magnolia
trees were in full bloom. Almost miraculously the wind
wasnt strong enough for the pre-mature scattering of the
blooms. A day or so later the May bushes, flowering
trees and many others popped out in whites and pinks. I
could almost smell them as I drove by.
The thing about it being officially Spring is that I feel I
should be doing a better job of preparing my patio for the
possibility of some greenery and bright flowers, sweep
the floor and clean up the bit of furniture. Oh, yes, finish
taking down the Christmas greenery, First, it is too cold,
then too windy, then too cold and windy, I am too busy
with other things, I am too tired. My current excuse, I
hurt my back.

Back in the old days we would have received
our Burpees, Earl May and other seed and garden catalogs long before this. Our orders would have been placed
or trips to Boone or Fort Dodge made to hand pick our
selections for vegetable and flower gardens, Days like
today would have been spent, at least partially, preparing
the vegetable garden for our planting. The flowers for
beauty and enjoyment would play second fiddle to that
operation.

Do they still send out those seed and gardening
catalogs? Are there new contenders? My gardening
centers primarily around going to Hy-Vee, Walmart and
the McCombs Jr. High greenhouse close to my home
where they teach horticulture students, Junior and Senior
High. One of my great granddaughters took those classes, communing between Roosevelt High and the greenhouse for the class. They not only did the book studies
but also the hands on of starting the plants either from
seeds or slips, tending them and then doing so many
hours during their open season to care for and sell their
plants to the public. Theirs have been some of the best
hanging patio plants Ive ever had and a couple are usually a Mothers Day gift from my daughter, the grandma.
Devon, individually and with classmates, competed in
various horticulture/ag projects and earned awards. The
best reward was as a three year student; at the end of
their school year she and other classmates won a trip to
Europe.
Boy, things have changed since my school days where
in eighth grade we all took Agriculture as one of our
classes. Living in a farming community that wasnt too
unusual as the majority of the students lived on farms.
Most of those who lived in town (as I eventually did)
had large lots with plenty of vegetable garden space in
addition to the flowers and maybe even a fruit trees so

the course was beneficial to them too. I have, naturally,
forgotten most of what I learned, but some things remain, one of which was the rotating of crops, raising
legumes (alfalfa being the best) the last crop of which
were plowed under to replenish and rebuild the soil.
Most of the farm land, as well as town garden plots)
were rich black and loamy as much of the post harvest
foliage in the gardens was plowed under and kept those
gardens with their good soil too. What we had heard of
chemicals then was not so good and it wasnt heard of to
use them to fertilize. Thats why you rotated the crops
and kept animals (besides for food) so the manure could
be added to that soil and turned under. Yes, it was a
lot of work and now frowned upon by the 1,000 + acres
farmers of today. No time for such stuff when you can
roll out the chemical fertilizer tank.
If I were back in Boone, Webster, Green or Story County I would be seeing the prep work going on and
checking farm buildings probably see the machinery
being inspected and readied and the seeds soon appear
in storage making ready for that first jaunt to the fields.
Right now I understand the moisture we seem to have
been experiencing as of late is most welcome but soon
the farmers will look up to the sky and say one of two
things Thanks God or Please, God, thats enough.
We need to get this years crops going.
So if you are a farmer or on the outside observing or
perhaps providing various supplies and services to the
farmers, I wish you the best in being able to provide all
the needed supplies to prepare the land, get the planting
done, maintain it through the growing season and have
a bountiful, uneventful (storms and such, you know)
harvest.
A HAPPY, WELCOME SPRING EVERYONE!

It's Your Life...
Roger and Judy Smith celebrate 60 years

It's Your Life Senior series. . .
by Alica Johnson

The citizens of Lehigh were grateful to have a
Memorial Day services this year because of the initiative
of the Lehigh Historical Society Museum who stepped up
three years ago when the local VFW was unable to carry
on the tradition at the West Lawn Cemetery as in years
past. Now local and out-of-town visitors assemble on the
Des Moines River Bridge where an impressive service
is conducted. Names of each veteran are read, prayers
are said, the Star Spangled Banner is sung, then a beautiful floral wreath created by LHSM member, Sandi Linn
Anderson, is tossed in the river in memory of those who
faithfully served our country. In conclusion, the mournful sound of the Taps are played by a bugler.

Roger Smith, the president of the Lehigh Historical Society Museum, was instrumental in continuing
the Memorial Day services. He is a longtime resident
of Lehigh and was born and raised here along with four
brothers and two sisters. His parents, Shelton and Katherine Smith, established their home here in the early
1930s. His father not only worked in the coal mine but
was employed at the Lehigh Sewer Pipe and Tile Company. At an early age, the children were taught that hard
work, a good education and a desire to learn various skills
would, indeed, assist them in pursuing a career that would
be both productive and fulfilling.

Roger began working at the Sewer Pipe and Tile
Company before graduating from the Lehigh Independent
School in 1953. He learned how to weld at the Maudlin
Construction Company in Webster City and later worked
for the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company. However, his
ambition to become self-employed was realized when
he purchased the Texaco Gas Station in Lehigh. Roger
worked at the Electrolux Company in Webster City from
1988 to 2005. In 1979, he purchased a truck and worked
until 1987 when he purchased some heavy equipment.
To this day, he continues to work at various construction
projects within a wide radius of Lehigh. He is an ambitious, hard-working man....a legacy which he will, no
doubt, leave his children.

In 1952, a young lass by the name of Judy Bunting moved to Lehigh where her father became the superintendent of the Lehigh Independent School then later
moved to New Sharon, Iowa. When Roger and Judy became schoolmates, they fell in love, and soon after, were
married. To this union, three children were born.......
Kathy Swenson, Robert Alan (Cris) who resides in
Woodward and Juliann (James) Bray from Lehigh. The
Smiths are grandparents of 7 grandchildren and 17 greatgrandchildren. However, because of their love of children, they became mentors to six children from the local
elementary school. During those six years of mentoring,
the children became an integral part of their family.

The Smiths have been faithful members of the
Lehigh Christian Church for sometime now. Judy attends the Womens Fellowship group as well as participates in quilting once a week. She is also a member of
the Lehigh Federated Womans Club. Her hobby is collecting dolls of all sizes and descriptions and has approximately 200 dolls in her collection. Because of the need to
properly display these dolls, they needed more space in
their home. That prompted Roger to make the decision
to build a new home. He states that one day he sat down
and actually sketched a design of their new home on a
paper napkin! That was six years ago. Since then they
have worked diligently to build and four years ago, they
moved in. In their backyard, there is a woods area which
slopes downward to the very bottom where a creek runs
through. Subsequently, they are frequented with herds of
deer, wild turkey and other wild animals. During the winter months, morsels of food are placed in back for their
consumption. They also have bird feeders to attract many
different kinds of birds. Their three pet dogs alerts them
whenever any kind of animal approaches their property.

Roger is actively involved in local organizations. He is past president of the Lions CLub and was
reelected for another term in July. He is also a member
of the Cockshutt Tractor Club of Homer. He is president
of the Lehigh Historical Society Museum and is involved
in various projects to expand and improve the Museum.
During Lehighs annual River Days events, he is involved
in many different activities and does everything wherever
there is a need.

During hunting season, Roger and his buddies
go hunting for deer. After they reach their limit, the deer
are hung in a nearby garage where they are kept cool until
they are processed. Needless to say, the Smiths deep
freeze is stocked to the brim with venison.

Fifteen years ago, Roger had open-heart surgery
and although both he and Judy are experiencing health
problems associated with the aging process presently,
they have come to realize that retiring is inevitable.
However, in June they celebrated their sixtieth wedding
anniversary.......another milestone for this special couple!!

ICBA and Heartland

Bank: Community
Banks Keep Rural
America Growing

During ICBA Community Banking Month, the
Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA)
celebrates Heartland Bank and the nations more than
6,000 community banks for their unparalleled role in
helping America grow by lending to local farmers and
agricultural enterprises and serving as financial first responders to the agricultural economy.

Community banks are essential to the overall
health and financial success of rural America because they
provide an overwhelming share of credit to local farmers, said ICBA Chairman Jack Hartings, president and
CEO of The Peoples Bank Co., Coldwater, Ohio. Many
community banks have been serving agricultural enterprises and family farms in their communities for more
than 100 years. And because community banks are small
business owners themselves, they are better able to serve
their agricultural customers because they understand the
local market first-hand and have highly specialized expertise in the agriculture business.

Across the nation, community banks operate
52,000 locations, employ 700,000 Americans and hold
$3.6 trillion in assets, $2.9 trillion in deposits and $2.4
trillion in loans to consumers, small businesses and the
agricultural community.

Community banks have consistently been the
largest provider of agricultural credit within the commercial banking sector and are often the catalysts for new and
expanded business opportunities within their communities to ensure long-term economic viability and vitality.
In fact, community banks provide $57 billion in agriculture loans.

Heartland Bank stimulates rural economies in
a multitude of ways, including creating jobs, maintaining the local tax base and facilitating development of
the infrastructure and public services necessary to keep
our community vibrant, Kevin Black, President/CEO of
Heartland Bank said.

Senior Caleb Hemmestad was the big prize winner
of the night coming home with not only the Students Choice
Award but also best in 2D.

Dayton friends reunite at Memory Weekend in Arizona. . .

The Dayton grads and Dayton residents from the fifties, early sixties, who attended the Dayton Memories weekend at the Jim and Dorothy Nelson home are, back, left to right, Jim Nelson, Chuck Danielson, Richard Johnson,Alan
Johnson, and Dick Liljegren; front, left to right, Linda Lockhart Danielson, Susan Sandholm Ohge, Rita Williams Hauge,

residents, and others also attended.
Aida Bergs tailoring, George Strandberg

wiggling his ears, telephone operator
And more remembered fondly by Dayton grads. . .Part 2

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

Jim Nelson: As you recall the general population in Dayton, other than classmates, who are some
of the people you remember and why?

Linda Williams Bircher: Do you want me to go
first?

Jim: Yeah.

Linda: Okay. Mary (Williams) McCollough
mentioned the fact that we had a lot of doctors in that
little town. We had Dr. Brown, Dr. Nelson, Dr. Birch. We
had Dr. Ferguson, who was the dentist.

Chuck Danielson: We also had a chiropractor.
Dr. Johnson.

LB: I mentioned Aida Berg. Does anybody else
remember Aida Berg? I remember her because I was the
last girl of six and I had a lot of tailoring done there.

Richard Johnson: I have a trivia question to
bring up. Who was our telephone operator in town?

RJ: That was ?? Sandholm (Sandstrom). The
switchboard was on her back porch. At one point in time
before it was down town, it was on her back porch.

Chuck Danielson: She was a little lady, wasnt
she?

Richard: Yeah.

How long did she live here?

Richard: Sandstrom, right. And the key was if
you wanted to find somebody in town, dial the operator.
That drew some conversation and laughs.

And the party line. The old crank phone. I think
we used to listen on Jims conversations

Jim Nelson: Oh, yeah. Really boring.

Dorothy Nelson: Did you get everybody? The
doctors

Linda Williams Bircher: Well, the only other
thing we mentioned was that there were a lot of churches.
There were five active churches at that time that we were
growing up there.

Linda wont say it, but the first one we said was
Pauline Williams.

Richard: and Ive told this to Jen so many
times, but reading her re-reading the letters that she
wrote to Bob in the Second World War, those are a piece
of the most fantastic real literature, I just

Dorothy Nelson: That was our first one for this
question.

We have copies of all.

Do you? Oh, I would love to have

Richard: They are delightful.

Yeah, it started out Dear Bob, and then she had
She did that for years.

You should publish a book with those in it.

We have copies of them.

Girl on the Train

by Paula Hawkins

Rachel takes the same commuter train every
morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes
past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the
signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple
breakfasting on their deck. Shes even started to feel like
she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their
lifeas she sees itis perfect. Not unlike the life she
recently lost.

And then she sees something shocking. Its only
a minute until the train moves on, but its enough. Now
everythings changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel
offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the
lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than
good?

Compulsively readable, The Girl on the Train is
an emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller and an
electrifying debut.

Dayton Memories, Part 2....

Continued from page 8...
ready for school in the morning.

What was it like having the little kids

Sometimes it was chaotic. Sometimes you had
to wait until number six to get your hair braided before
you could go to school. You were never bored because
you always had someone to play with. And we looked
after each other, too.

he was a painter. Beautiful. He painted the
artistic way. He did some brocading, it was called at that
time. Beautiful, it was pretty.

Dorothy Nelson: He was doing full painting
before it was, yeah. Some people we remembered
George Strandberg, the cop. Jim remembered that he
could wiggle his ears.

Jim Nelson: He rang the church bell, Emmanuel Church. And you sat in the balcony, and you could
see him ringing the bell. And he would see us watching
him, and then he would wiggle his ears. And we thought
that was so great.

Dorothy Nelson: And Mike Isaacson, Miss
Hall, Art Roskins, and Ivan Skogland.

Chuck Danielson: We started out, I guess, with
Ivan Skogland I think Carol had that. And also Richards dad, Henry, when he was mayor of the town. I
think we went more in the line of the characters of the
community. And so then, Darryl Haab, and Bob Hoyer,
and some of those guys. We didnt touch on that. But
Id like to underline Pauline Williams, because when my
mother had health issues and stuff, Pauline sent the nicest cards and the nicest letters. I never saw any of the GI
letters, but I can imagine how they were. She was a neat,
neat lady.

it was worth going to the hospital, because
you knew you would get a card every other day.

Jim Nelson: Okay, well, moving on About
how often do you go back to Dayton for visits?

Linda Williams B: It depends so much on
whether you have any family left there. Because Rita
and I, of course, we have a brother who still lives there.
Marys been going back once every year for 30 or 40
years, because she comes back for a visit every year
pretty loyal about that. Rita and I probably make it
to Dayton, on the average over the years, probably ten
times a year. Not as much any more, of course, because
mothers gone.

When mother was still alive we were going real
often. We were going about once a month.

Jim: What do you have, Dorothy?

Dorothy: Somebody said they go at least annually, and Jim, you said you go 3-5 times a year. A lot of
people were going at least annually.

Chuck Danielson: And I got 2-3 times a year.
Some of that was coming from Al (Johnson). I know
now with the change in the family situation, thats probably changed.

Jim Nelson: How does Dayton compare to
your current location?

Linda Williams B: Mary noted that its a whole
lot smaller.

Dorothy: Than where she currently lives.

Linda: Susan mentioned, of course, more retail, more jobs where she is now. I mentioned more vacant homes and businesses in Dayton. Thats what I had
11
down here.

Dorothy: And somebody, a number of us concurred on this where we live now its so convenient
because everything is close by. We live in areas where
3-5 miles weve got everything we need.

Chuck: And Al (Johnson) evidently is not moving to back to Dayton in the near future, because he said
theres a lot more things to do in Denver. So he studied
on that about a half an hour before he came up with that
answer, so good job, Al. (some laughs)

Jim: Okay, number 8. Have you thought of
moving back to Dayton, or conversely of leaving Dayton, and what are some reasons?

Linda Williams B: In my group we didnt have
any serious thoughts about that. Nobody was really
thinking either direction, other than the fact that of course
there are no jobs in Dayton to move there for. Its a bedroom community.

Jim: Dorothy?

DN: Well, Dick (Liljegren) moved back 25
years ago to Dayton. And Jim, every once in a while,
talks about renting an apartment in Dayton.

Jim Nelson: And Dorothy says, I dont think
so.

Chuck Danielson: That ends that discussion!
Richard (Johnson) says, yes, because its always been
home. Al says no, Im going to stay in Denver. Glenn
(Schreiber) says yes. And Chuck and Linda (Danielson)
said, we dont have a clue. Now thats the flip side of that
instead of coming back its getting the other way.

Jim Nelson: Okay, how did Dayton influence
whom you have become?

LB: Well some of us a lot of us thought we
have more common sense for having grown up in Dayton. And were probably a little more conservative. We
said we live within our means better than some do. Rita
mentioned that we are not expecting too much. (some
comments) Oh, Susan said kids want to start where it
took their parents years to get to. And Mary said kids
want brand names these days and we didnt care about
brand names.

Richard: Well, Levis ... but they were much
more cool

(laughter)

Dorothy: For us, we were taught responsibility,
good morals, taught how to work. Small town values,
and people were watching.

Chuck D: And weve got down just one thing.
Self-sufficient. And I think you roll a lot of things into
self-sufficient, but where all of our drive and all of our
push and striving to get ahead, I guess, certainly had to
come from a lot of the people in the town.

Part three coming next week.

THE GOWRIE NEWS

A special treat was in store for us tonight as the
Maddock family hosted all 14 of us in their home for
an evening of getting to know a real Kiwi family. Di
prepared a delicious meal starting with a tasteful lettuce
salad topped with prawns, lamb, potatoes, vegetables
and a scrumptious desert called pavlova, a slow baked
meringue cake topped with kiwi and whipped cream.
We enjoyed learning about their culture, traditions and
appreciated their hospitality. We could have spent all
night listening to quake stories. What a lovely family!

We left Christchurch and flew over the Northern
Island to Auckland which is the largest and most populous
city in New Zealand, back to Sydney and off to beautiful
Fiji!

New Zealand... part 2 of our Trip of a Lifetime

Lane, Rosalee MacDonald, Renee Miller, Cheryl
Rasmussen,

True,
Les & Diana Vangilder and Judy Wyrick-Eaton.

The southern island of New Zealand is one of
the most beautiful places I have ever seen! It was a fivehour flight from Australia over the Tasman Sea, known
as the ditch to the city of Christchurch for a very short
nights sleep. The next morning came way too soon,
but the train ride through the mountains with milky
glacier fed rivers quickly opened our eyes! After a day
of winding past cascading waterfalls and amidst rugged
massive mountains, we arrived at the Southern Alps and
the Franz Joseph Glacier, gem of the west coast. It was
a great place for a hike and a perfect view for a picture!

The next three days were spent in the prettiest little
city of Queenstown, my favorite! This is home to the Lord
of the Rings, where some visited the movie sight on a four
wheeler and the jewelry stores flourished with collectibles.
This city has everything; mountains, lakes, bicycling,
bungee jumping, skiing and a thrilling luge (bobsled)
ride. This evening we took a gondola to the top of the
mountain for breath-taking views and a delicious dinner.

Early the next morning we were off by motor
coach and heading to Milford Sound via the Homer
Tunnel, an engineering triumph linking the east and west.
The fjord is one of the most visited sites on the South Island
and is acclaimed the eighth wonder of the world. Here is
where you will see one of the most photographed peaks
in the country, Mitre Peak, which gradually rises just over
a mile above the sea. In the evening we stepped back in
time and boarded the TSS Earnslaw, a beloved steamship

for an hour ride on Lake Wakatipu to the Walter Peak
High Country Farm. There we indulged in an impressive
buffet and a glimpse into the farming life. We watched
their trusty and well-trained dog herding sheep down the
mountainside with the sound of his masters whistle. A
sheep shearing demonstration brought the rafters roaring
as sheep get dazed and look absolutely ridiculous!

We spent the next night in the village within the
Mount Cook National Park. Unfortunately, it was our
only day of rain so we couldnt see the tallest mountain
(12,212 ft.) in New Zealand. On to visit the Morelea
Farm, a typical New Zealand sheep farm. Angie treated
us to scones, sauage rolls, shortbread cookies and tea
while Stan took us outside to watch Bo, his strong eye
sheep herding dog at work. We were off to his barn for
another sheering demonstration and a brief lesson on
different types of wool and how it was bailed. We learned
that sheep shearers can shear up to 200 sheep and day
@ $2.00 per sheep each producing 5-6 pounds of wool.

After a fun day at the farm, we headed back
to Christchurch, known as Quakie to the locals, for a
few more days. Maybe you remember the earth quake
that devastated this city on February 22, 2011? It
lasted 20 seconds and claimed the lives of 185 people.
They are still trying to recover from this disaster as
rebuilding and repairing was very evident. We visited
the Quake City Museum which was very interesting and
also heartbreaking as we watched testimonies from the
victims. Many businesses are still working out of box cars
and we noticed many ATMs in tents. Our hotel was in the
heart of the quake zone and it gave us an uneasy feeling
especially when I discovered that our room was 911!
