Family Pharmacy,Dayton, collects old,prescription drugs

Event held in Webster Countyharmacies last week. . .

Nationally it was Prescription Drug Take BackDay last week and Family Pharmacy in Dayton took back

old prescriptions on Friday, April 29. Webster County Sheriff James Stubbs stoppedat Family Pharmacy to monitor the collection of olderprescription drugs turned into the pharmacy. Iowans with unused medications, including ad-dictive painkillers, were encouraged to turn them in Sat-urday (or other declared day) during a national “Prescrip-tion Drug Take Back Day.” Experts urged people to avoid keeping addic-tive drugs, such as painkillers or sedatives, sitting aroundthe house. The fear is that such pills could fall into thehands of people who will abuse them. But most pharma-cies can’t take back addictive drugs unless they have thesecure collection boxes. Painkiller abuse has helped spark the nation’ssurging heroin use, because the drugs are chemically

similar. “One way to prevent heroin addiction and over-dose is to stop the diversion and abuse of prescriptiondrugs before it starts, by getting rid of excess medicine,”Paul Feddersen, assistant director of the Iowa Division ofNarcotics Enforcement, said in a press release.

Webster County Sheriff James Stubbs and FamilyPharmacy in Dayton team up for a Prescription Drug TakeBack Program, Friday, April 29. Also pictured is MichelleTopp.

The suspect is described as a white male, approxi-mately 60 years of age, 6’ feet tall, thin build, green eyes andclean shaven. The suspect was dressed in blue jeans, grayhooded sweatshirt; had a yellow Hawkeye emblem on thehood and tennis shoes.

“Therefore encourage oneanother and build each other up.”

1 Thessalonians 5:11 God wants us to help one another. Why? Be-

cause that is what He wants us to do. We need people inour lives to encourage us, and we need to encourage thepeople in return.

The word encourage means to ‘urge forward’Many times we can see something in someone that theyfail to see in themselves. We need to look for opportuni-ties to encourage those around us. God gives us manyand varied ways of encouraging people.

We can do our encouraging with a kind word ora simple written note. In whatever way we can , we needto help those around us to do a better job of doing thingsfor others, and therefore we both will be doing what Godwants us to do.

If we are ‘builders’ of people, and help others tofulfill their dreams – not only will they be happy, but sowill God. Whenever we work with God we will have our

dreams fulfilled and we will be living in God’s blessingall of our remaining days.Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for giving us people

that not only encourage us, but for giving us opportuni-ties to encourage those around us. In Jesus Holy Name,Amen

What should I do ifI suspect a naturalgas leak? – Jared asked us

i .

That’s an important question, Jared. Natural gas has an excellent safety record, but faulty

appliances, misuse and other incidents can cause

a leak. To help detect leaks, we add an odorant to

natural gas before sending it to our customers. Most

people compare the odor to the smell of rotten eggs

or some other distinctive odor.

If you think you smell natural gas:

• Get everyone out of the building immediately

— leave the door open as you exit.

• Once outside, call 911 or the emergency

number below.

• As you leave, don’t touch light switches, electrical

appliances, phones or doors and windows. A spark

of static electricity could ignite a leak.

• Wait well away from the building for emergency

personnel.

If you think you smell natural gas, leave

immediately and call 911 or our 24-hour

emergency number: 800-694-8989.

It is a small world. . .

I dropped off some residency forms at theDreamland Villa office early last week here in Mesa, AZ.One form was completed by my mother and I completedthe form for my household which totals one person (me). As I was returning to my vehicle to drive homea man from the vehicle behind me asked, “Where do youlive in Webster County?” “Dayton,” I stated, and then I walked over tothis man in his SUV. I noticed he had an Iowa license plate also withDallas County in print. His name was Dean Miller. Dean and his wifeConnie were planning to drive back to Iowa that day.The Millers had stopped to alert the Dreamland possethat they would gone and therefore the posse would bewatching their home along with their neighbors. Dean and Connie live close to Perry, IA, in Dal-las County. Ironically, the Millers live on East DallasStreet in Dreamland Villa, five streets south from myresidential street and just two streets from my mother’shome. “I do know one other Miller family from ourarea in Iowa and that is the Dale/Kay Miller family from

Gowrie,” I said. “Oh I know Dale very well,” said Dean. “Wearen’t related, but I was involved with Dale in the Perryhog buying station for some years. I used to meet withDale there at 5 a.m.” It is a small world indeed. Dean asked if I had joined the HOA plan atDreamland. It is now optional for residents. “Yes, I ama member,” I told Dean.

Dean said they were also members. “It is a greatdeal and everyone should be a member,” Dean stated. It is quite a deal which includes many amenitiesincluding heated pools, hot tubs, pickleball, etc. I tellpeople that they fee is $175. Some people think that sumis a little high for one month. Then I explain that fee isfor an entire year. Dean talked a little about Dale’s family and howthey had interacted over the years. It was good to hearfrom another Iowa native. There are many Iowans wholive in Arizona over the winter and also many who live inArizona all year.≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

One of the fine “feel good” stories occurredmore than a week ago in Arizona. A 72 year-old womanfrom Tuscan was traveling to Phoenix to celebrate herbirthday.

Instead of taking I-10 to Phoenix (2-3 hourdrive), she drove through the High country going towardsShow Low. She got lost, ran out of gas, and was in theArizona desert wilderness with nothing in the vicinity. For nine days she was with her small dog. Shehad no food or water. She survived by eating berries andsome desert plants. She found a creek in the foothills ofthe mountains and had water. She left a note which was found by authorities.

She tried in vain to get re-ception on her cell phone;every ridge, every newplateau did not yield cellphone communication. She found a deadelk and using its horns shecarved the word help. Shealso used stones and sticksto write help in a barrenarea of one canyon. Ann Rodgerswas rescued by the Ari-zona Department of PublicSafety. The DPS helicop-ter had landed at one of herHelp signs. Underneath arock was note saying shewas out of food and waterand was heading down thecanyon. Father down thecanyon the crew spottedwhat seemed to be a shelterused by Rodgers and afterrounding a bend in the can-yon they spotted Ann wav-ing her arms.≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

Dear Editor,

Could you please provide me with informationon my relatives in Gowrie, Iowa. Here is all the informa-tion that I have.

If you could please let me know under what cir-cumstances the three young children may have died.

All three below buried in Lost Grove Cemetery,near Gowrie, Iowa. Amelie DOB April 1, 1872 - DOD April 9,1878; Christina DOB November 8, 1873 - DOD April28, 1878; Amelie Christina DOB April 1, 1878 - DODNovember 8, 1878. Also, any information on what that area of Iowawas like around 1878.

It is sometimes hard to imagine the conditionsthat people lived in during those times. I have beenworking on family history for a few years and comeacross these sad stories of such loss, yet they carry on.

The relationship of the Wendell family isthrough my mother Judith Willis (Querin). Her grand-father Robert Willis married Anna Vendel/Wendell. Vendel is the Swedish spelling and during this

time the family name was probably Vendel then Wendeland finally Wendell.According to some family history information

Dayton Review

“There is a foolish corner in the brain of the wis-est man.” That is one of Aristotle’s astute sayings and Itrust it means “mankind” and thus a woman too. Oftenwhen a thought or memory comes into my mind I jot alittle note on whatever is handy at the place I happen tobe. When those scraps of paper or jottings on the backof a magazine or puzzle book begin to pile up I deem ittime to rescue and use them or toss out as trivia unworthyof further consideration. In this presentation I will sharesome of those I chose to save and at the end you willprobably say some of them should have gone with theothers, One “orphan” note said “Green window blindson spring rollers”. Who else is still around who remem-bers such things? Especially in old farm houses you notonly put up curtains or drapes but window blinds whichyou could roll up or down. They served several purposes.One obvious one was privacy, especially at night whenthe lamps were lit or lights turned on. They provided notonly shade from the sun if it were a window where it camein brightly; they provided insulation from blowing winds

as many windows were not as tight as the new ones of to-day. They also kept the drapes or curtains from sun fad-ing or at least helped some. If it was a window that wouldopen in the summer the blind was rolled completely upand the curtains/drapes pulled back by ties or slid way tothe side on their rods. The roller that held the blinds hadsprings in them that automatically (if good ones) wouldallow one to give a little jerk and the blind would roll up.The original ones I remember were very dark green, sup-posedly a color that would keep it warmer and also betterprotect the other window coverings. Eventually “decor”crept in and the blind material became more pliable andmuch lighter in color from tan down to white. Now weuse venetian blinds – horizontal slats that can be opened

Green blinds and Ice Cream . . .or closed or raised to various levels or the vertical kindthat are used primarily at patio doorways. Personally, Ithink they are a pain and prefer just to have the draperytreatment but living in an apartment one has to abide bythe “rules” for a uniform presentation to the outside. Oh,well --- I am glad the old dark green blinds are way inthe past. Another thing I have wondered about – Doesanyone remember going to or through Ogden and stop-ping for a good double dip homemade ice cream cone?It was a place toward the west end (then) of the businessdistrict on old Highway 30. My recollection is that itwas at the locker plant and they had a window you couldwalk up to, perhaps even drive up. While I am not com-pletely sure of the shop location I am positive about thedeliciousness of that ice cream and the fact they carriedtwo flavors that were not the “run of the mill” vanilla,chocolate or strawberry though they had them too. Thosetwo specials were orange-pineapple and tutti-fruiti. Or-ange-pineapple, my favorite, was not sherbet but real icecream and simply luscious. I don’t recall ever getting

that flavor any place else. The tutti-fruiti was to becomea commercial flavor but I haven’t seen it in years. It wasmuch later in my life that I would become “addicted” toBoyd’s ice cream in either Boone or Ames, even thoughI had heard about Boyd’s for years. They were good butthat orange-pineapple was very special. At the time we were enjoying that good icecream many people still had ice boxes in the corner oftheir kitchens or in their basements. But gradually peo-ple began to get electric refrigerators (especially follow-ing WWII) but they only had small freezer sections tohold a few trays of ice cubes which was a real treat forsummer koolade and tea, etc. While there were a numberof manufacturers of the “electric ice boxes”, Frigidairewas the popular brand and most people called all refrig-erators “Frigidaire”. It was some time later that freezer

tops came into use so going out for ice cream was a spe-cial treat or going to Westeen’s and buying only whatthe family could eat immediately or better yet, a freezerof homemade ice cream was great. Boxholm had no icehouse so that alternative was usually left to the churchice cream socials. Remember them? Yummmmmm. The readers who don’t remember the old icecream days mentioned herein, you really missed out onsome great times and great eating. Let me or The Re-view know if you can clue me in on the Ogden ice cream.Right now that burgundy cherry-chocolate in my freezeris beckoning me.

It was an exceptionally beautiful spring daywhen 18 Dayton Dreamer’s Senior club members andone guest arrived at the Community Center on Thursday,April 21st, for our monthly meeting. After the table grace was sung, we enjoyed adinner consisting of chicken-fried-chicken and creamgravy on mashed potatoes, and succotash, dinner rollsand apple pie for dessert. Since Mother’s Day is celebrat-ed in May, we decided that we would dine out. The deci-sion was made that we meet at the Community Center at11:15 a.m. on May 19th to car pool rides. We plan to eatat the 209 Main Street Restaurant at Paton. The tables were decorated with several demi-tasse sets... colorful cups and saucers on a hook... on dis-play. They were a part of a member’s collection. On the

serving table, a large basket of spring flowers was placed. President Bonnie Reck opened the businessmeeting by leading us in saying the Pledge of Allegianceto the Flag. Secretary Alice Johnson then read the min-utes of the March meeting. It was accepted as read. Shethen read the Treasurer’s report which was accepted asread, also. We then sung Happy Birthday to Virginia Ad-ams whose birthday is on April 22nd. For the program, we had two interesting presen-tations. Deb Casey, ‘Windows and Webs’, from Rock-well City, displayed some of the stained glass items thatshe created such as window frames, candle shelters, jew-elry boxes, small and large window panels and sun catch-ers. Mariann Phillips, ‘K.M. Creations’ from

Harcourt, hand paints designs on gun stocks, gun cases,bow cases, ammo boxes, and more. Both ladies are ex-tremely talented and their artwork unique. The beautifuldisplays were enjoyed by our members and consequently,a few items were purchased. Area senior citizens 55 years and older are wel-comed to attend our meetings. They are held at the Com-munity Center every third Thursday at noon. No mem-bership dues are required. Cost of meal is $6.

rounds: preliminary and final.The preliminary round involves an interview

with judges who then decide which projects should ad-vance.

Both projects advanced to the finals level! Atthe finals level a totally new group of judges takes overand there is no interview.

These students did outstanding research andrepresented SV in a very professional and distinctive per-formance. They are to be congratulated for their efforts.

Dayton Review

By: Daniel F. Grandfield It's amazing how complete strangers reach outto others in times of great tragedy. Back in January,when we lost Brayden, Autumn, and Riley Sorenson(and their mother) in the tragic fire - Mrs. Angie Go-emaat (6th Grade teacher at Twin Cedars Elementary inBussey, Iowa) sent me an email saying that her 6th grade

class had heard about the fire and our loss, and wantedto do something to honor the Sorenson family, and reachout to the students and staff of SWG Elementary at thesame time. A couple of weeks later, we received a checkfor $50.00 from Mrs. Goemaat and her 6th Grade class.They told us they wanted us to use the money to buysomething that the school could use to help honor thememory of the Sorenson's, and something that could be

shared with everyone at the same time.After talking with staff and students, it was de-

cided that we would buy a book in memory of each ofthe three children (Riley, Autumn, and Brayden). So wetalked to Mrs. Winkler and Mrs. Heggen, and they talkedto a few of the kids in Riley's, Autumn's, and Brayden’sclasses and came up with three books that we would pur-chase, based on the things that each child liked.

Pictured with Mrs. Winkler is Aiden Hubbard holding the book Tarra Bella in memory of Riley; Caleb Hayesholding the book Peanut Butter & Cupcake in memory of Autumn, and Hanna Wicklien holding the book Bob and Ottoin memory of Brayden.

Sgt. Vernon E. Swanson has arrived in Franceafter having been in England a month. When the let-ter was written, September 3, he was living in a tent.Selmer Lennarson is in a medical detachment of the sameunit while Sgt. Eldon Danielson and Pvt. Duane Smith ofHarcourt, are also in the same division. Vernon thorough-ly enjoyed their stay in England where he visited many

historical places. His letter follows:Dear Mr. Patton, It has been quite some time since I last sat downand wrote to you concerning another one of Gowrie’sG.I.’s. And today marks the completion of my first yearin the U.S. Army, so it is fitting that I sit down in my tentand pass on a few of my experiences during the past sev-eral months. After I left Virginia Military Institute and saidgoodbye to ASTP, I landed at Indiantown Gap MilitaryReservation where I stayed from March to the middle ofJuly - one of my many transferred into the 95th Inf. Di-vision. I guess I was a little more fortunate than the restin that I became Communications Sergeant of my unit.While stationed there, I visited Washington , D.C., NewYork, Philadelphia, and spent three weeks in the WestVirginia mountains - and, best of all, a ten day furloughin Gowrie. Selmer Lennarson is in this outfit and we’vehad many good talks, though I haven’t seen him of late.The last two months we were trained and equipped foroverseas, so it was no surprise when we pulled out for aneastern P.O.E. I enjoyed an uneventful but interesting trip toEngland, where we were placed in barracks for about amonth. During this time we were privileged to visit quite

a few places of importance - and I really made the mosof such opportunities. There are four of us fellows in mcompany who chum around together continually, and Idon’t believe any other group saw as much of England aswe did in the time we stayed there. In our pass to Londonwe covered nearly every historic spot and experiencethings that can only be experienced in London. Thes

people and their country impressed me very much, and Icertainly hope I can return there again and see more of it At present I am in my little tent in a field some-where in France. We’re living outdoors all the time, anpersonally I like it except for crawling out on these frostmornings. To date our schedule permits us to participatin sports most of the day, but what lies ahead we have nidea. We take advantage of evenings and Sundays to gearound and see our section of France, and I have enougreading and speaking knowledge of French to get alonenough to enjoy this country that much more. Yep, I’ve completed a year in the army, and Ican truthfully say it’s been a great experience, and I’looking forward to the rest of it. Of course I’m lookinforward to also getting home, but there’s a job to be doneand until it is completed, I aim to make the most of mov-ing from one interesting place to another and seeing thosthings I’ve always wanted to see.

I haven’t received a Gowrie News since I ar-rived over here, so feel a little behind times concerninthe good old home town. But you can bet I’ll appreciateach issue all the more Regards to all who make Gowrie the place tcome home to.Vernon

Canteen Cafe Fire...Dear Editor:

In 1949 or 1950 my parents bought the CanteenCafe and operated it for a few years before selling it and

oving to Fort Dodge.Some time afterward, the Canteen burned down

and was destroyed. Could you please tell me the date ofthe fire and, if possible, could you send me any informa-tion on the fire?

I was in the military during those years andknow nothing of it except that it actually happened. The restaurant occupied only one half of thefirst story of the building. The other half was pretty muchempty except for a stack of folding chairs and miscella-neous stuff.

This second room was used (very rarely) foroverflow crowds and also was the meeting place of theGowrie Branch of The American Legion.

Since they held their meetings there, their mem-bers would have been very aware of the fire.

There may no longer be any Legion memberswho were active at that time, but I suspect even younger

embers would have picked up many stories about thefire from older guys who were Legionairs at the time ofthe fire.

Additionally, American Legion records or logsor histories might very well have had good, complete re-cords of the loss of their meeting place. Thanks very much for anything you can send oranything you might remember of that loss.

Sincerely,Ray Shaw - Merriam, KS

City of Dayton2015 WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR DAYTON MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY

This report contains important information regarding the water quality in our water system. The source of our water is groundwater Our water qualitytesting shows the following results:

Note: Contaminants with dates indicate results from the most recenttesting done in accordance with regulations.DEFINITIONS • Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - The highest level of acontaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to theMCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. • Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) -- The level of acontaminant in drinking water below which there is no known 01 expectedrisk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. • ppb -- parts per billion. • ppm -- parts per million. • pCi/L - picocuries per liter

• NI A - Not applicable • ND -- Not detected • RAA - Running Annual Average • LRAA - Locational Running Annual Average • Treatment Technique (TT) - A required process intended to reducethe level of a contaminant in drinking water. • Action Level (AL) - The concentration of a contaminant which, ifexceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water systemmust follow. • Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - The level ofa drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expectedrisk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectantsto control microbialcontaminants. • Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The highest level ofa disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence thataddition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. • SGL - Single Sample Result • TCR- Total Coliform RuleGENERAL INFORMATIONDrinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected tocontain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence ofcontaminants does not necessarily indicate that water posed a health risk.More information about contaminants or potential health effects can beobtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking

Water Hotline (800-426- 4791).Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinkingwater than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons suchas persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who haveundergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS orother immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can beparticularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice aboutdrinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines onappropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium andother microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking WaterHotline (800-426-4791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems,especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking

water is primarily from materials and components associated with servicelines and home plumbing. DAYTON MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY isresponsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot controlthe variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your waterhas been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential forlead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes beforeusing water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead inyour water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on leadin drinking water, testing methods and steps you can take to minimizeexposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http:// www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.ADDITIONAL HEAL TH INFORMATION

Fluoride in children's drinking water at levels of approximately I mg/Lreduces the number of dental cavities. However, some children exposedto levels of fluoride greater than about 2.0 mg/L may develop dentalfluorosis. Dental fluorosis, in its moderate and severe forms, is a brownstaining or pitting of the permanent teeth, or both.

Because dental fluorosis occurs only when developing teeth (beforethey erupt from the gums) are exposed to elevated fluoride levels,households without children are not expected to be affected by this level offluoride.

Families with children under the age of nine are encouraged to seekother sources of drinking water for their children to avoic the possibility ofstaining and pitting.

Your water supplier can lower the concentration of fluoride in yourwater so you will still receive the benefits of cavity prevention while thepossibility of stained and pitted teeth is minimized. Removal of fluoridemay increase your water costs.

Treatment systems are also commercially available for home use.Information on such systems is available at the address given by yourpublic water supplier. Low fluoride bottled drinking water that would meetall standards is also commercially available.SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT INFORMATION

This water supply obtains its water from the limestone and dolomiteof the Mississippian-Devonian aquifer. The Mississippian Devonian aquiferwas determined to have low susceptibility to contamination because thecharacteristics of the aquifer and overlying materials provide natural

protection from contaminants at the land surface. The Mississippian-Devonian wells will have low susceptibility to surface contaminants suchas leaking underground storage tanks, contaminant spills, and excessfertilizer application. A detailed evaluation of your source water wascompleted by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and is availablefrom the Water Operator at 515-547-2711.CONT ACT INFORMATION

By Jill Viles Capital projects of the south wing of the PV High

School were discussed at the April 20 meeting of the PV

School Board.It’s been proposed the ICN room be updated. Thisay involve removing a wall and updating windows, as

well as other changes. An architect was assigned to producedrawings of proposed projects. The district requested theplans merge the old with the new.

However, when the architect came to discuss po-tential changes, he was concerned that if the district com-pletes just a partial renovation at this time, this could leadto a serious design error and would require going back and

re-doing some of the work.It was decided the district should wait one more

summer before making a decision, and then bid out for the

work. Phone calls are acceptable in terms of seeking infor-mation regarding the bidding process, but it was pointed outthat the district should request many bids and also place anadvertisement in the paper. “We’ve got to have the community behind it,” saidboard member Joe Harrison. Irwin concurred. “It’s time to step back. It’s justtoo tight a schedule right now.”

Willardson offered she’d like to see the buildingfund up first.

Southeast Valley Building Trades class... The Building Trades course is seeking a member of the community

wishing to have a home built by students from the community.

School District purchasesooring cleaning machine The high school custodians have requested a ma-chine to facilitate the cleaning of floors. Currently, a productmust be used that removes wax from the floor before it is

cleaned, but this machine can complete the work of waxremoval and cleaning in a single step result in a decreaseof 50-75% if the time it takes to wax and clean floors.Additionally, this saves the district $1,000 a year in

cleaning products. The board approved the $3,114 pricefor this machine.

Building Trades class The Building Trades course is seeking a member

of the community wishing to have a home built by studentsfrom the community. If an interested individual is not found,the class will participate in a renovation project, but the dis-trict strongly prefers to pursue a house building project. Pre-viously, two parties have come forward, but backed out inthe planning process. Board member, Gary Welter, inquired how a pre-vious year’s spec house worked out. A spec house is a homeconstructed without an owner and designed to attract a buy-er. “Not well,” said Harrison who is also a city councilmember. “The city held onto the property for three years.” “I sure hope someone steps up by the next meet-ing,” said Irwin.

The district would like to let those potentially in-terested in this endeavor, that partaking in this type of ar-

rangement can lead to a 30% reduction in constructioncosts. This can be quite an attractive situation for a potentialbuyer. Also, it was noted that the family that participated inthe home building project in a previous year has expressedthey were pleased with the results.Other business Moving on to other discussion, the 2016-2017academic calendar was discussed. It was noted that peopleare most concerned about when in-service days will fall, andthere has been a definite preference for full days for in-ser-vice rather than half days. Irwin noted the calendar reflectsthis preference as there is only one half-day professional de-velopment day. Board member Gary Welter suggested that onprevious conference days there have been teachers unavail-able at conference time because they are assisting with an

extra-curricular activity. He suggested the teachers shouldbe available for conference days. Next, it was agreed to keep the majority of schoolfunds with Security Savings Bank. Each year the district isasked to pass a depository resolution. It was noted previousloan rates have hovered around 1% and the board is pleasedwith this. “They’ve [Security Savings Bank] has treated uswell,” remarked Shannon Miller. The list of the 78 candidates to be graduated fromSoutheast Valley was presented and approved. Elementaryschool principal, Jim Duncan, reported that Prairie ValleyElementary has been named a STEM certified coding part-ner. This means students have been taught to make a com-puter program by telling the computer what to do. Additionally, Mr. Duncan reported 45 kinder-

gartners have enrolled in kindergarten, but he typically seesmore enrollees in May and later in July. There is a music concert next Tuesday April 26thfor 3rd and 4th grade students. The program for TK-2ndgrade will be held May 9th.
