The United States flag is often thought of as a
symbol of our nations courage, strength, and unity. To
ensure it remains an enduring symbol of American greatness, the American Legion of Iowa has an established essay contest for fifth grade students.
This year the Southeast Valley fifth graders participated in the Legions What the Flag Means to Me
essay contest. The Commander of the Iowa American
Legion, Jim Peterson of Gowrie, provided an educational
CD and booklet, which were used in class prior to writing
the essays.
Members of the Gowrie Legion Post 431 judged
the essays. Post Commander Dave Mills and Post Chaplain David Anderson announced the top three winners at
My Flag Essay
By: Alyssa Speck, first place
The flag is not just a piece of material. It is a
feeling that all of us as Americans feel. The flag makes
me feel free, like no one can control me. I feel free, for I
have freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom of
movement, freedom of assembly, and freedom to choose
our leaders.
The flag is not just a feeling, it reminds people
of things. It reminds me that I am an American, and I am
proud of it. It reminds me of the sacrifice that our veterans have made, and are still making today.
The flag is very important, and truly does mean
something. It means to stand together as one nation. It
means to honor our country and its flag.
Yes, the flag represents the thirteen original
colonies and the fifty states, but the flag also has a true
sentimental representation. The flag represents not only
the United States, but the people that live in it. It represents the hope for a brighter tomorrow, a never ending
free country, and a peaceful nation.
The flag is very important, and that is why I
choose to write about it. I think everyone should know
the true meaning of the flag.

Every day thousands of dogs in Iowas puppyt
mills are suffering. They live out their lives in smallh
cramped kennels without proper care and love. Iowa has
over 200 puppy mills, and unfortunately we are gettingy
worse.
c
By learning the ugly truth about puppy mills,
you can help the dogs in need. As an Iowan I am ashamed
we have such a big problem with puppy mills. I am alsop
very ashamed to know that we are the second worst state
in the U.S. for puppy mills.
e
We can do better Iowa. How can you help? Vis-p
it with your legislatures about this issue. Let them knowh
you want better laws for these suffering dogs. The more
people who show concern for this issue, the better chanceo
of legislatures paying attention to Iowas puppy mills. BeS
the voice for those who cant speak.

Heartland Bank is a
Proud Participant of
Money Smart Week
Money Smart Week originated in 2002 with
the Federal Reserve in Chicago. The campaign is designed to create non-commercial educational events that
cover a variety of money topics. Money Smart Week
is a great opportunity for the bank to meet with students
to discuss money topic topics that are important to the
students.
This year Heartland Bank employees met with
the SE Valley 2nd Graders, 5th Graders, and Seniors.
The bank enjoys the opportunity to meet with the students, plus the lessons that are reviewed with the students
help meet the Iowa Core value needs for the students.
Heartland Bank employees will be visiting with
the 2nd Graders this week about how to identify money,
the value of money and how to make change.
Earlier they visited with the 5th Graders about
how important it is to make sure students keep track of
their account balances, identity theft and learning the difference between needs and wants.
Heartland Bank had also visited with the Seniors
about budgeting, how to calculate interest, credit reports,
credit scores and identity theft.
The bank employees really enjoyed meeting
the students. It is always fun to get in the students environment, talk banking at their levels, and a chance for
everyone to learn including the bank employees! It is
great fun for everyone. We appreciate the school letting
us spend time with the students, says Russ Ruhland,
Vice President for Heartland Bank.

Another long time senior tradition looked forward to toward school years end was Kid Day. The Seniors got to dress and act like first graders (or younger)
and even act up in class without fear of being reprimanded. That was the day that the majority of our class
got into or on Skeeter Norlins car (missing the passenger side front door) and took the slow short trip up to
Main Street via side streets; the highway only had to
be crossed, not accessed. The other students around got
to watch us and laugh at us and in the senior classrooms
there was little learning done. I think it was probably a bit
of reprieve for teachers too in that they didnt have to be
so strict. I wonder how long that tradition continued.
Now there are senior trips to faraway places.
Everyone is on their own to get their pictures taken and
submitted on time to the yearbook staff. There is definitely no kid day though I hear there is a lot more goofing
off that we would ever thought of doing.
But finally after all that came the Big Day. We
sat through all the falderal, niceties, tributes, speeches,
feeling a bit ho-hum about it all. But finally came the
time when the Superintendent and Board President were
standing up there and the whole class arose. Alphabetically each name was called and we nervously walked up
and stood before them, receiving the blue sheepskin and
proudly moving the tassel from one side of the mortarboard to the next one. WE were now high school graduates ready and equipped (so we thought) to face the
world. And we did!
Man in Moorland
surrenders last week
after verbal dispute
A man believed to be having emotional problems
surrendered to law enforcement agencies on Wednesday
of last week in Moorland at about 2:20 p.m.
He initially refused to come out of his home for
about three hours. Police were responding to a verbal
dispute and allegedly threats were made.
A street was blocked by the State Patrol and
school buses in that area were delayed for a brief period.

into a good trip as the Jags prevailed 164 to 176.

honors after defeating teammate Conner Conrad in a

It's your life...
May 11, 2016
At a country school in Callender a Mrs. Johnson was Annas school teacher. She was learning cursive
writing.
My teacher was very nice and Im sure she was
very capable. But she also was trying to convince me to
write with my right hand, recalled Anna.
I explained this to my mother who went to the
school and talked to my teacher, Anna recalled. She
informed my teacher that I was left handed and that she
should not try to change my natural tendencies.
The teacher listened and indeed did the right
thing. She didnt interfere again trying to change Anna.
Instead, she encouraged Anna who progressed well from
that time forward.
Annas father purchased a farm in the Lehigh
area and the family moved again. They lived near Brushy
Creek.
Anna (Hanson) has many fond memories of
Lehigh including the Jimmy Clay Tile manufacturing
plant that survived for decades in Lehigh. The buildings are still there. That plant meant so much to so many
people in Lehigh and the surrounding area, said Anna.
The Gowrie Library has just installed new Kid
Sized book shelves!
The new shelves were recently added to the
library to allow our younger generations easy access to
their favorite books. Purposely built so the books are displayed at eye level, a child has no problem picking out
something fun to read.
Bring your child, or grandchild, to the Gowrie
Library and see how they go right for the bookshelves
made especially for them!
We would like to recognize Mr. Dave Mills who
volunteered his time and craftsman like quality skills in
making these two new childrens book carts. The kids will
be able to look at the front of the books now to find their
favorite book.
We are so excited and happy to be able to have
something new to offer to the kids, come check it out!!!

While graduation from high school is an exciting life
event, it is a little scary. All those choices the graduate has
to make after high school like, do I go on to college, which
college, where am I going to live, am I moving away, do I
get a job, and so on. This is a challenge for anyone, not to
mention an 18 year old person.
And then add to the choices what about your bank?
Your banking needs? What does the high school graduate do
about those choices?
Hopefully the answer is nothing! Your local bank
should be able to go with that graduating senior anywhere
they go. In todays technology world with online banking,
mobile deposit, person-to-person payments, bill pay and
external transfers your local bank can stay with the student
for life!
For the student, imagine needing a bank for your direct
deposits, asking questions about student loans, or an issue
with identity theft? Imagine now, simply picking up the
phone, sending an email or a text to your local banker, the
one you know/grew up with, to help you with these banking
questions/needs? It truly is that simple!
For the graduating high school senior, here are some
recommended bank products/services you need in place no
matter what other choices you choose after graduation:
1. Personal Checking Account one that you can have
payroll direct deposited or student loan funds deposited. An
account you can write checks off of when needed.
2. Debit Card preferably one with the EMV security
chip embedded for the students security. A debit card that
can have the daily limits adjusted in case the student needs
the card to purchase books.
3. Account Alerts the student needs an account that
allows the student to set up account alerts that will alert the
student when certain defined transactional activity takes
place in their account.
4. External Transfers a service that will allow parents/
grandparents to transfer funds from their account to the
students account during times of need.
5. Relationship your local banker needs to know you
by name. You need to have a banking relationship established
with your local banker. This relationship is the key to your
future banking needs no matter which direction in life you
take! This banking relationship can help with overdrafts,
identity theft, helping establish credit, and much more!
6. Personal Savings Account an account that allows
you to save money that also allows you to set up a sweep
between your checking and savings account to cover any
potential overdraft issues.
7. Identity Theft Monitoring a service that can monitor
the students identification. A service that tracks activity
related to the student identification to alert the student of
potential identity theft.
So for the graduating student, the only choice the student
needs to pick in regards to their banking needs is to determine
which day they should stop into their bank and visit with their
local banker to make sure they have all the banking products/
services they need to be ready for their future banking needs.
And as for the students that are going on to college take
that opportunity when meeting with your local banker to talk
about student loans, and how best to graduate college with
the least amount of loans. This is a perfect time to talk about
subsidized (government pays the interest on the loans while
the student is a full time college student) to unsubsidized
loans (student pays the interest), and how student loan
payments work. Also have a discussion on what things the
student can do during college to reduce their loan needs.
Your local banker has always been here during your
high school days and will continue to be here for you during
your next choices in life!

Canadian wildfires

Webster County
And Central Iowa. . .
Fine particulate (PM2.5) levels near federal
health standards were expected in northern and central Iowa late last week. A plume of smoke originating
from Canadian wildfires is passing southward through
Iowa.
This smoke plume caused a spike in fine particle
levels in northern and central Iowa this morning that did
last for several hours.
The DNR recommended individuals in northern and central Iowa with respiratory or heart disease,
the elderly and children limit prolonged outdoor exertion
until the smoke plume passes and air quality conditions

The members of Soul Patrol met on April 27th at
the Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Callender. First
The recent ecumenical youth gathering held in
Gowrie at the United Methodist Church was discussed.
There were about ten youth that attended along with
adults. After getting acquainted, everyone enjoyed treats,
Christian music, and a wonderful testimony from Tracy
Vote.
The group plans on having another gathering
later on this summer, so watch for details in the papers
and at your churches.
Also discussed was the fact that Craig Vote
would like for our group to visit with the new Superintendent, Brian Johnson, about a couple of things. The first
is that we would like to have Tracy give her testimony at
SE Valley School this fall.
The second is to get together with school administration before school begins for the annual meeting with
pastors. They will speak of fifth quarter events and bringing FCA into the school system.
Jon is leaving the area and so from now on,
yours truly will more than likely be the secretary of this
group. Again, if you have questions or would like to join
and/or be a part of this group, you can email me at kay.
