Keep Quiet
by Lisa Scottoline
Scottoline delivers once again with
Keep Quiet, an emotionally gripping and complex story about one mans split-second decision to protect his son - and the devastating consequences that follow.
Jake Buckmans relationship with his
sixteen-year-old son Ryan is not an easy one, so
at the urging of his loving wife, Pam, Jake goes
alone to pick up Ryan at their suburban movie
theater. On the way home, Ryan asks to drive
on a deserted road, and Jake sees it as a chance
to make a connection. However, what starts as
a father-son bonding opportunity instantly turns
into a nightmare. Tragedy strikes, and with Ryans entire future hanging in the balance, Jake
is forced to make a split-second decision that
plunges them both into a world of guilt and lies.
Without ever meaning to, Jake and Ryan find
themselves living under the crushing weight of
their secret, which threatens to tear their family
to shreds and ruin them all. Powerful and dramatic, Keep Quiet will have readers and book
clubs debating what it means to be a parent and
how far you can, and should, go to protect those
you love.

So, its midnight and youre like I think
its time to go to bed. Then you get up and feel
good (the next day).
With both guys pocketing $5,500 cheques
Wednesday?
It could get a little wild again tonight,
Sundell said with a laugh.
Peebles sounded up for it, especially since
he might get to leave his cheque in his wallet.
That one thing about Wade, he aint
scared to pull his pocketbook out.
Or his express pass.
But Sundell had velcroed himself on the
back of Volds star stock this time.
That was not so easy, Sundell said. That
was 10 times harder today than it was yesterday.
Its not one you want to take home and
just get on all the time. You want to have some
money up for grabs for that one.
I couldnt tell you what he was doing. A
lot of things were happening. I just kept trying to
keep my chin down and keep gassin on him.
Sundell is from a town called Boxholm.
The last census, done in 2010, lists the population
at 195.
Apparently it has experienced some
growth since then.
It says 200-plus when you pull in, Sundell said. I tell everybody Im that plus.
Hes hoping to pack a third Stampede
championship bronze back home next week.
And maybe his close friend Steven Peebles, who won the bareback round Wednesday,
will get one too.
Steve, me and him go way back, Sundell
said. Weve been friends for a long time.
Just watching him jump out there and do
that, it got my motor running. I was wound up. You
get some drive off that when your buddy is doing
good like that.
When we first started rodeoing, we met
up. He stays at my house, I stay at his house. Hes
pretty much like a brother. My dad and mom, thats
his second dad and mom.
They spent Tuesday afternoon, and evening, getting to know the staff at the beer gardens.
Thats the nice thing about these afternoon perfs, Sundell said. Youre done early.

the United Methodist Church in Gowrie. Interment will be in Sloan, Iowa. The family will

Margaret Elaine Mitchell, the daughter
of Samuel and Georgia (Sandven) Mitchell, was
born February 21, 1926, at Sloan, Iowa. She
was reared and educated at Sloan and graduated
from Sloan High School in 1944. She attended Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls
where she was a member of the homecoming
court and was a cheerleader. Margaret graduated in 1947, and began teaching at Rock Rapids, where she taught for six years. On July 18,
1948, Margaret was united in marriage to Harold Nordmann. The family moved to Gowrie
in 1962 and Margaret taught math and art in the
Prairie Community school system for 24 years,
before retiring in 1988. She served as cheerleader coach for many years. Margaret later
moved to Story City where she was a resident
of Timberland Village.
Margaret was a member of the United
Methodist Church in Gowrie and was a member of the United Methodist Womens Club, the
Gowrie Federated Womens Club, the American
Legion Auxiliary and the Red Hat Club. She
enjoyed artwork and golf and often contributed her artistic skills to both her church and the
Gowrie Golf & Country Club. She was also an
active volunteer to the Gowrie Municipal Library. Margaret enjoyed sharing her time with
children and helping them however she could.

Bob Breeden has grown a 10 inch potato in his garden at his home on
the west end of town.
Breeden said he does not know how the potato grew to its large size.
He checked on the garden and began digging up potatoes. The last potato
was the giant 2 lb. potato.
The potato is now resting in the basement with the others. He has not
decided what he will do with it yet, but he said it will probably be eaten.
Breeden has been gardening for more than 57 years said his wife Ida.
He said he has only been taking gardening seriously for the past 10 years.
He got into gardening because his parents were gardeners. Also he
and his wife like to have fresh fruit and vegetables. They give some to
their children and their neighbors as well.

Tighe. Despite approaching 84 years
of age and coaching for more than 60

is relatively simple, its usually
played to perfection by the Gaels.
We play two teams that we
were in the state championship last
year, one won and one lost, Swieter

we will be prepared.
Instead of worrying about how

be looking for a smooth transition

That was the topic of a meeting organized by
