The Jaguars dominated the game fromthe beginning as they took the opening drive andmarched down the eld. The drive was culmi-nated by a Jay Lizer 20-yard touchdown run. The Jaguars nished with a whopping547 yards in total offense. It was a total teameffort as seven different people scored a touch-down and the offensive line opened many holes.

This was a great win for the programand being homecoming makes it that much bet-ter, said coach Mike Swieter. Coach Swietercommended the Jaguar fans and knows this wasa new all time record for attendance.

The Jaguars led the entire game and onlypunted one time. Southeast Valley led at the half30-20.

The skill positions get all the touch-downs but coach Swieter wants to make sureeveryone knows you cant have that many yardswithout the line completely dominating the lineof scrimmage.

Coach Swieter commented on how coach

Jim Duncan always has his linemen ready andthis shows in how well we were able to movethe ball. Coach Swieter wants the boys to enjoythis win but come Monday it will be time to getready for next week.Jaguar highlights Ryan True led in rushing with 123 yardson 16 carries and two touchdowns. Aaron Swi-eter had 12 carries for 86 yards and one touch-down. The Jaguar defensive line controlled theline of scrimmage. Defensive tackle Chase Mo-bley led in solo tackles with eight and defensiveend Tom Nahnsen led in assisted tackles witheight. Defensive end Dylan Anderson had afumble recovery.Still can improve Coach Swieter noted that the team hadseven penalties and also had two fumbles. Wegave up way too many plays, said coach Swi-eter. We need to improve on pass defense andthe option.

More than fty supporters of Bill North-ey, Iowas incumbent Secretary of Agriculture,gathered at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Richard

Hubbard, Gowrie, the morning of Sept. 8. There were many reasons for atten-dance, but pride in agriculture was a central ral-lying cry of the event. A good time was had byall, and many were thankful for the chance tospeak with Bill Northey personally, as well asseveral other candidates for political ofce.

Every single town or place he (North-ey) visits, he recognizes or knows people, ex-plained Political Director Tyler Campbell. Idheard terric things about him even before Ioined the campaign.

Hes a great guy to work for, and he re-ally knows about agricultural issues importantto Iowans. After delicious cookies, breads and fruitprovided by Jean Hubbard were served, Dr.Hubbard introduced his familys deeply rooted

connection with the Northey family.He explained that Bill Northeys mother

and Jean Hubbard grew up together in Minburn.

They became good friends, and that friendshiphas led to participation in Northeys politicalventures. The Hubbards hosted a similar rallyeight years ago, but they emphasized this was alarger event. Bill Northey has done such a good jobconnecting. I could always count on his pres-ence at all meetings pertaining to agriculture,said Dr. Hubbard. After the introduction of several otherRepublican candidates for ofce, Northey tookthe oor.

Its folks like you, and events like thisthat make this all happen, said Bill Northey. The importance of supporting agri-culture remained a central theme in Northeyscampaign promises. He cited the value of non-agricultural folks as part of the momentum insecuring our states foremost industry.

He emphasized there is tremendous en-thusiasm and optimism among students at ourstate colleges as well as community colleges. There certainly is a renewal of appre-ciation for agriculture springing up within thestate, said Northey. In closing, Northey emphasized a greatdeal of work must be done to ensure and main-

tain water quality.Farmers will do these things on their

own if they are allowed to. This is much prefer-able to regulatory processes, said Northey.

Gary Eischeid, General Manager of

POET Biorening Gowrie, traveled to Wash-

ington, D.C. September 14-17 to meet withCongressional ofcials and highlighted theimportant role ethanol plays in reducing ourdependence on foreign oil and revitalizing theAmerican economy. Eischeid joined Growth Energy leaders,including CEO Tom Buis and Co-Chairman ofthe Board General Wesley Clark (Ret.), for aseries of meetings on Capitol Hill. Discussionfocused on the current state of the industry andstressed the importance of protecting the Re-newable Fuel Standard (RFS). The intent of the Renewable Fuel Stan-

dard is to give consumers more choice at thegas pump and to put renewable fuels on a level-playing eld with the oil industry. Any move-ment away from this intent is not what consum-ers are looking for and it will chill investmentin cellulosic ethanol and advanced biofuels de-velopment, said Eischeid. I appreciated theopportunity to meet with each ofce to discusswhat the biofuels industry means to the peopleand communities in Iowa and look forward tobuilding upon this relationship going forward. During the trip, Eischeid met with theofces of Rep. Steve King (IA-4), SenatorChuck Grassley (R-IA) and Senator Tom Har-kin (D-IA).

It doesnt seem like a year since I visitedBoxholm to celebrate the towns 100th anni-versary of incorporation. Now in a few days itwill have been 101 years. From a very reliablesource I learned that the town was platted inApril of 1900 but it took 13 years to actuallybe incorporated and ofcial. Undoubtedlythere were settlers and homesteaders in thearea prior to a towns developing. Such it wasin those early days of our country, our state. Ihad mentioned before that the surrounding areawas one of the last in the state to attract ag-riculture and settlers because so much wasswamp land that had to be drained and tiledto keep it from reverting to swampland. Mostof the readers are still aware of the peat eldsaround that pond up (even with tiling) when

there are a chain of heavy rains and cloudburstsand the need every so often of re-tiling.With the people moving in, many

Swedish immigrants, there was a need andopportunity for various tradesmen and entre-preneurs, many of whom were also Swedish.While farmers could and would be raising a lotof their own food, both meat and vegetablesand preserving for consumption through theyear, there was always the need of our, sugar,coffee (of course, they were Swedes) and otherstaples, splurging on some spices and maybea small bag of hard candy for the kids. Sostores sprang up. They would be using gear

for their horses so a need for harness retail andrepair. The horses would need shoeing andwagons and plows xed sometimes beyond thefarmers expertise so a blacksmith shop wasneeded. On the side, the one who repaired theharness could also re-sole boots and shoes didnt need new ones if that task would sufce.Eventually there had to be a place for the farm-er to sell his crops and thus granary operationscame into being before elevators. They prob-ably also sold seed to ll in when the farmerhadnt gleaned enough from his own crop .Nohybrids then. People would be coming into

town (before it was ofcial even) so someonebuilt a hotel. Those people may need a placeto nd nourishment and others in area mightneed a meal (or a cold beer?) so another es-tablishment came. Eventually a hardware storeand lumber yard were needed. Did Boxholmhave a livery stable? Most small towns oftendid. Soon there were more and more busi-nesses to serve both townspeople and farmers.The railroad had come through so this was anideal place to put the little community calledBoxholm which was named for a hometown inSweden. In fact, before the settlement was ac-tually platted in 1900 and almost a decade and

a half prior to the incorporation of Boxholmthe old depot was built in 1899. The rstrailroad was called the Newton-Northwestern.Ft. Dodge- Des Moines & Southern electriedline came after that. It served well, especiallyduring the war years when gasoline and otherfuel was limited. The farmers could still bringin their crops to the elevators and get them tomarket and others, myself included, had inex-pensive transportation to Fort Dodge or Boonewhen we needed clothing and other things notavailable in the small town.` Now that depot is gone, having beenrazed in 1976. It had been serving the commu-nity a long time. The only station agent I everknew was Leonard Gelder. The depot had satempty for a long time after the railroad ceasedoperation and thus by the time it was razed,there was little salvageable lumber. It wouldhave made a good auxiliary museum had itbeen in better condition and/or not so expen-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOXHOLM!

sive to restore. The past fades away for every-thing. It is not a Swedeland anymore but amelting pot, with very few direct descendantsof the original immigrant settlers but theyare a proud bunch and strive to keep alive atleast a memory. The businesses have fadedaway, buildings torn down and/or abandonedwaiting their turn. Churches population hasdwindled with decrease in town and surround-ing population, due to larger farms, smalleraverage family sizes, access to better, easiertransportation and just the march of time. Theschool district has combined and merged andcombined to the place where our old buildingappears to be on the brink of its Waterloo.Will it someday go the way of the depot, old,dilapidated, rotting away where not much will

be salvageable? I know it wont be in my timebut --- perhaps your great or great grandchil-drens.

Nonetheless, HAPPY 101st birthday,Boxholm. Perpaps some of your townsfolkwill meet at the community building or res-taurant over some coffee or??? and remembertimes past. Have one for me coffee (decaf)that is!

By Cassidy Riley It is well known the most common pro-fession among those involved in government is

law. According to an Economist article, careersin business and diplomacy are also popular.However, Gowries mayor Dave Stokesbary isfond of none of those. With a degree in English,the 66-year-old says if he could do anything hewould direct plays.

Before he decided to engage in city gov-ernment, Stokesbary was a probation ofcerunder Iowa Community Based Corrections formore than decade. He also spent more than 20years as an investigator for the Fort Dodge Pub-lic Defenders Ofce. He said for all the yearshe worked in the criminal justice system it wasonly a job to him. His passion has always fallen

in the arts.I did the other jobs because I had to pay

for things, because I like things, he said. It was the early 90s when Stokesbarybegan directing plays at Prairie Valley HighSchool. He said at rst the children were essen-tially in charge of the theater program. [They told me] all you got to do is kindof stand around because weve got this han-dled, he said. Over time he would interject sugges-tions during rehearsal and he saw himself get-ting better at directing.

You can get people to say the linesbut can you get the person to really understand

where the character is coming from? Thatswhat I think I challenge them to do. I enjoy do-ing that, he said.

Stokesbary worked as the director ofthe school plays for 11 years. He took a breakfor four years and returned in 2011. He has alsodirected plays in Fort Dodge at the HawkeyeCommunity Theatre.

He said he especially remembers hisproduction of To Kill a Mockingbird with thecommunity theatre. The role of Scout wasplayed by a nine-year-old girl and he enjoyedhelping her understand how much her charactertruly loves her dad. She got better at nine-years-old, hesaid. I dont have any stories like that from be-ing a probation ofcer, he said.

Over the years Stokesbary also dabbledin playwriting. He has written two plays: TheMassively Exciting Adventure of Maki Phundi-shadiapour at Deep River Falls Senior High andThe Reversal of Fortune of Marvin Pygmalion.The former is about a young son of a goat farm-er who is sent to a high school in America inplace of an Indian prince. The school mistaken-ly thinks Maki Phundishadiapour is the prince.The boy is then kidnapped and the students atthe school must rescue him.

The latter is about a man whose wifedies in a tragic accident and God sends an angel

to tell him he should never have married her inthe rst place. The man becomes young again

avid Stokesbary directs PV School plays;

writes two plays, poetry

t's Your Life...

and begins dating a woman who looks just likehis sweetheart God planned for him to marryoriginally. God intends for him to marry thisyoung girl but things dont quite go according

to plan.It makes me cry when I think about itbecause I cried when I wrote it, Stokesbarysaid.

Stokesbary was also the President of theIowa Poetry Association for four years. He saidhe enjoys writing light and silly poems.

Im Mr. Obvious. My stuff just smacksyou in the face, he said. There are some peo-ple who write stuff and they connect gardeningor something to some life experience and itsreally good. Im not sure I would be able to dothat. With such strong love for the arts, one

may wonder why Stokesbary decided to involvehimself in the complicated and oftentimes non-sensical world of government. He said he felt aneed to give back to the city.

We chose to be in a community and ifyou choose to be in a community you kind ofhave an obligation to get involved and get yourtwo cents worth, he said. Dont just complain,participate. Stokesbary served three terms on theGowrie City Council and is currently in his rstterm as mayor. He said he never had a desire tobe involved in politics but he does try to help

the city grow in a positive direction.I had no interest in power or control,he said. You need relatively intelligent peopleto make the decisions for your city. Thats realgovernment. The crap that happens in Wash-ington and Des Moines, thats politics. The realgovernment happens on the bottom end here. Despite having spent so much of his lifeworking outside of his area of passion, Stokes-bary said the arts are so important to him be-cause they touch hearts and shape lives.

I think its more of an emotional thing.Its touching on whats human in us, he said.We can make all kinds of scientists. We can

teach them math and they can gure out howto go the commuter and punch things in, butthats not going to make them better human be-ings. I think thats what the arts do. [It] explores

what it is to be a hu-man being, not just amachine that breathesand farts.

Gowrie Cub ScoutPack 42 beginspopcorn, wreath sales Its that time of year again! Cub scouts

from pack 42 will soon be knocking on doorsaround Gowrie and surrounding communi-ties. The annual fundraising drive provides thescouts an opportunity to share the social andleadership skills theyve developed, while al-lowing community members the chance to meetthe young aspiring scouts face to face. The saleof delicious popcorn and fragrant wreaths pro-vide a great backdrop to this interaction.

The combination of both popcorn andwreath sales proved a bit ambitious last fall;however, the second year of sales has initiatedsome changes many may appreciate. Scoutswill be selling Grab and Go bags of popped

caramel popcorn at a cost of $10 a bag for thosewho would like to receive their purchase on theday of the sale. Additionally, scouts will also betaking popcorn orders to be delivered at a laterdate. Wreaths are back by popular demand, andthe scouts of Pack 42 would like to ensure theseare delivered much earlier than last season. Several mystery houses been selectedin the communities of Gowrie, Farnhamville,and Gowrie. The preselected homes have beenissued a reward certicate. These reward certif-icates may be redeemed for a prize by the scoutknocking on one of these lucky doors.

Area biker returns to his roots

after writing book with ex-copook signing in Badger. . .

By Jill Viles An unlikely pairing of co-authors drew

a substantial crowd at Knuckleheads, a BadgerBar and Grill, the afternoon of September 6th.Amidst the backdrop of a gentle late summerbreeze and the fragrant aroma of ribs and BBQpork, curiosity seekers arrived by the dozens forthe chance to greet Pat Matter and Chris Omodt.Some clutched a single book in hand, while oth-ers waited patiently to buy a copy.

One woman opened a cardboard box toreveal more than 20 purchased copies with re-quests for personalized signatures. The honoredguests signed copies and answered questionsabout their book, Breaking the Code: A TrueStory by a Hells Angel President and the Cop

who Pursued Him.Their true story novel, released August

1st, is the best-selling legal/crime science novel.It describes the decades long crusade to imprisonPat Matter, a 20 year veteran of the Hells Angeland chapter president--a man with a penchantfor drugs, violence, and life in the fast lane.

Chris Omodt, the Hennepin county copassigned to the beat, develops a fascination intothe human soul behind this elusive cat andmouse chase. By the time of the time they col-laborated on a book, Omodt and Matter becomelifelong friends. So, which ones the Hells Angel, and

which ones the cop?I couldnt help my smirk as I approached

the book-signing table. I wouldve probablypegged Chris Omodt as the ofcer, but Pat Mat-ter didnt play into my idea of a hard-core, hard-living biker with a vengeance for havoc andlaw-breaking. Intermittently he waved to hiswife, Trish, a beautiful, yet unassuming blonderelaxing in the lawn chair beside him.

Through the conversation I gatheredtheyd been together since 1988, and he pro-claimed Trish as his reason for leaving a life ofcrime for good.

It had been a long awaited meeting-in-the-making for some visitors to the book-sign-ing.

Remember me? was a familiar refrainas long lost friends took a seat across from PatMatter. In moments, quizzical glances were re-placed by generous back slaps and memories ofthe past from junior high to Matters early bikeryears in Fort Dodge.

In the novel, Pat Matter recalls his earlyyears with the Fort Dodge Grim Reapers. Localsmay recall the name as a biker club involved ina shootout in Fort Dodge in November of 1974.As Matter and his friend, Rick Wingerson, were

walking between two bars, Crinnigans and TheBlue Bomber, shots rang out, and Matter real-ized Wingerson had been fatally wounded.

As the story evolves and Matter movesnorth to Minneapolis, Matter and Omodt crosspaths on several occasions. In his earliest ex-changes with Matter, Omodt recalls trying tostrike up a conversation with him as they ridetogether in the back seat of a police cruiser onthe way to the police station.

At rst, Matter shrugs off Omodts cu-riosity about his motorcycle business, with aterse, You cant possibly be interested. But,over the years, as their lives cross time and time

again, trust grows. Chris Omodt was truly the only cop Icould trust. Im not saying theyre all bad, butthere are a lot of crooked cops out there. Somethat get away with a lot of things, things youwouldnt believe. Rumors circulated about a potential

movie deal, so I sought the scoop from Omodtand Matter.

Weve been approached by one partyout of Hollywood, but havent agreed to any-thing yet, explained Omodt. Weve also beencontacted by an agent out of New York City. Though a movie contract is not yet inthe works, the novel provides many interestingscenes that could be adapted for the big screen.As I read the novel, the interjection of humorstruck me. One scene in particular, reminded meof Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop. Matterrecalls the unforgettable story as a fellow bikercalls from prison and pleads with Matter to emp-ty out the contents of his home.

As Matter arrives, he sees that federal

agents are already on the scene, and the prop-erty is draped with crime scene tape. Not oneto be easily daunted, Matter and a buddy donofcial looking tow truck uniforms and return tothe scene, removing the tape without hesitationand backing a tow truck on the property. Movingwithout trepidation or fear, the Feds assume theyhave been hired by the government to seize sto-len property, and ignore the fact they are remov-ing a $100,000 vehicle right under their noses. The game goes both ways, however. Lat-er a search warrant on Matters property fails toreveal the location of more than $50,000 in cash,believed to be hidden on Matters property. Pat

Matter and his wife breathe a sigh of relief asthey agents leave after an exhaustive search ofthe property.

Minutes later, a knock at the door her-alds the return of the agents. Forgot to tell usabout that false bottom in bureau drawer, theofcer explained pushing past Matter. Dontworry, you friends wife told us all about it. In moments, more than $80,000 in cashwas identied in the false bottom of the bureau.Ultimately when Matter is brought to justice, hemust turn over a large amount of cash believedto be hidden on his property. Its rumored that at

least $500,000 is buried in PVC pipes in his yard.Always charismatic, Matter accepts the deal andprison sentence, but proffers, Can you wait fora spring thaw? with regard to the money. Comespring, the money was located on his land. I liked how honest he was, said SharonHindrichs of Fort Dodge, a fan of the book. Hereally didnt want to kill anyone. There weretimes he acted a lot meaner than he was. Pat Matter agrees with the concept of anhonest portrayal of the events. This book is thereal deal, emphasizes Matter. I was hardcore.You have to be to be president of the Hells An-gels for twenty years. You have to be all in.

I was around the toughest guys around.Guys like Sammy the Bull Gravano. I woke upone day and I thought, do I really want to behere? explains Matter. Ultimately, Matter has truly turned hislife around. He has joined Trishs church anddevoted his life to his faith and family. He ndsinspiration in the fact those on both sides of thelaw nd meaning in the story he and Omodtshare. Chris Omodts quote is derived fromtheir novel, The thing about police work, atleast for me, is that seeing people turn their livesaround is a lot more satisfying than seeing them

get tossed into prison. I dont pretend to have allthe answers, but theres got to be a better way torehabilitate people than our current penal sys-tem. Pat was strong. He came out of the systemokay.

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

or worse people or both. Once exposed to theprison system, its a rare person who turns hislife around. Nearly half nd themselves incar-cerated again within three years. That needs tobe xed.

I was in the restaurant yesterday whenI suddenly realized I desperately needed topass gas. The music was really, really loud, so Itimed my gas with the beat of the music.

After a couple of songs, I started to feelbetter. I nished my coffee, and noticed thateverybody was staring at me....

Then I suddenly remembered that I waslistening to my iPod.
