A road less traveled by BECKY BLAIR

REPORTER STAFF WRITER
Adam and Jill (Stumbo) Meeker were born and raised in Ogden, both
graduating in 2002 from OHS. They married in 2008 and, living in Min-
neapolis area, they pursued jobs of interest.
At some point their jobs of interest seemed less so - the result? Sell their
house and as many belongings as they could, and travel.
(As Adam wrote on their blog) For those of you who dont know, Jill
and I made the decision to sell our house, resign from our jobs and spend
some of the next year traveling. Everything that follows is our story. This
blog is not a brag board and we dont expect everyone to understand it.
This is simply another way for us to document our experiences and keep
our close friends and family updated.

In talking to the Meekers, a poem by Robert Frost came to mind - The

Road Not Taken. The words, being familiar to many describe the life jour-
ney of one man, coming to two roads, taking the one less traveled. Two
roads diverged in a yellow wood, - And sorry I could not travel both -
And being one traveler, long I stood -
And it ends - I shall be telling this with a sigh - Somewhere ages and
ages hence: - Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less
traveled by, - And that has made all the difference.

As any road is, there are challenges as well as high points:

As luck would have it, we picked the coldest day in 18 years in Min-
nesota to move. The actual high temperature was -20. Thankfully we
have some good friends who braved the elements to help us.
Everything fit in the storage unit, but Im not sure how. Despite numer-
ous trips to Goodwill and selling things on Craigs List we still ended up
with a full storage locker.
One of the goals of this experience is to simply our lives, but as you can
see we are still working on that.
On Thursday night after selling both of our cars I rented my neighbors
car and drove a load of things (including our most prized possession,
Tugg) to my parents. I was able to wrap up some loose ends and was
hoping to stay an extra night at home, but the weather had other ideas. I
left Friday night amidst inclement weather passing numerous accidents
and maintaining 45 mph through the entire state of Iowa. I finally ar-
rived in Minnesota an hour and a half later than I expected and when we
awoke Saturday, we discovered our flight had been moved back a day
and the wonderful Jarvis allowed us to stay with them another night.
Sunday was our lucky day, our flight to Bangkok went well and I was
able to squeeze in seven movies during the first leg to Tokyo. The second
leg we were upgraded to first class, which I highly recommend and went
right to bed for the next six hours.

I imagine a journey such as the Meekers had just undertaken would be

beyond what many of us consider our comfort zone. Their blog confirmed
those suspicions.

Ogdens Top Dogs?
by SYDNEY DIGGS
The Iowa: Then and Now class from Ogden High School is working on
a Hall of Fame display to put up in the high school in the hallway by the
gym. We would like to put this display of Top Dogs up because we think
it is important and appropriate to recognize alumni, staff, coaches, etc. who
have done outstanding things. We also want to increase pride in OHS.
There will be an induction process in which the community will fill out
nomination forms and an anonymous committee will later sort through
forms and select the most deserving applicants for the Top Dogs - Ogden
Schools Hall of Fame.
Nomination forms, which will go out in June, will be at the Ogden Public
Library, City Hall, and the District Office at OHS. There will also be an
electronic form on the school website at www.ogdenschools.org. Forms are
to be submitted online or delivered to the District Office at 732 W Division
St. by August 1.
After the committee has voted on the inductees, there will be an induc-
tion ceremony at Ogden High School the Saturday after Ogdens Home-
coming.
Be thinking of who you believe is deserving of this honor, and keep your
eye out for more information and nomination forms in June.
For more information, go to www.ogdenschools.org under District
News.

Jill and Adam Meeker at Machu Picchu during
their four day trek. It is a 15th-century Inca site
in Peru located 7,970 above sea level. The Incas
built the estate around 1450, but abandoned it
a century later at the time of the Spanish Con-

brought it to prominence internationally in 1911. Here they are, a world away at sunset. A picture is worth a thousand words! Its in the Thar Desert

-continued from page one.
With my poorly misplaced nap
behind me, I laid in my hotel bed in
a neighborhood of Bangkok that at
best could be described as sketchy
and wondered what I had gotten
myself into. Emotions are pesky
things that can really get in the way
of life and this process was full of
them. From selling a house youve
made a home, to leaving neighbors,
friends and pets you adore behind,
emotions often persuade many of
us to continue to pursue a life of
safety. Fear is one of the strongest
emotions and last night it reared its
ugly head. As I laid in bed I envied
those of you who were at home in
your safe American neighborhoods,
close to those you love with at least
some semblence of what your to-
morrow may look like. But not me.
I had no idea.
Many of us would at this point
ask why? Why would you choose
the uncertain? Again, I learn the
answer from the blog:
I do not want to preach at peo-
ple, but Jill and I both love helping
people better themselves and hope-
fully this blog will be an extension
that will not just allow people to live
vicariously through us, but encour-
age them to do something amazing
with their own lives.
I spend a lot of time reading
about personal development and
biographies of successful people.
One of the things that each of them
talk about in detail is fear and how
they still face it to this day, but they
act anyway. I faced fear at every
corner in this process. It is scary
to leave a stable paycheck and lose
health insurance and go to a place
you know very little about. But
every time in my life when I have
faced fear, I have grown immensely
as a person. I know that not every-
one can do what we are doing, but
if there is something you want out
of life you need to do it. This is not
a dress rehearsal - this is it. This
is your life. Too often we think we
are listening to our conscience, but
really we are listening to fear. Stop
letting that scared little kid inside
of you drive your life.
One of the most amazing things
about this short trip was the op-
portunity to meet our group. The
group consisted of 9 people from all
over the world including Quebec,
Denmark, Germany, Portugal and
Chile. The beautiful thing about
being so removed from civilization
is that we had nothing to do, but
talk. Listening to everyone share
stories about their countries and
lives and their travels all over the
world is inspiring and makes you
want more for yourself. Traveling
is learning. It is learning about
yourself and it is learning about
others and in the end it is realizing
how much more is out there that
no TV show or website can teach
you. Its something you have to find
for yourself. You own nothing in
this life but your experiences and
this one has made us a rich couple.
stretching over 248 square miles.
It was originally a Hindu temple,
and is oriented to the west which
was associated with death in the
Hindu faith - that provides a puzzle
to some even now. Late in the 13th
century, it was switched from Hindu
to Buddhist and is currently used by
Buddhists today. A lifelong dream
of Jacqueline Kennedy was to visit
Ankor Wat, and, in fact, she did visit
it during the Vietnam War - a real
risk.
After a visit to India Adam writes:
As we quietly watched the sunset
in Hampi, I looked down at the
display in front of us and as I did,
I overheard two people discussing
its complexity. They discussed how
most things can be explained by
science, and agreed that generally
you can wrap your mind around
the explanation, but both agreed
this place seemed to raise more
questions than answers. I think we
all need places like these, because
they speak to something bigger
than ourselves, they halt our ego
in its tracks and cause us to look to
the sky for answers.
Our last day in Hampi we
crossed the river via a small boat
where we rented a motorcycle
and sped off into the countryside
around Hampi. We drove in ev-
ery direction and found ourselves
submerged in local village life.
Everywhere we went children
rushed to the roads and stretched
their hands out to give us high
fives as we passed through their
villages. We watched women doing
laundry in the river and we waited
patiently while local goat farmers
maneuvered their herds to greener
pastures. The experience was beau-
tiful and authentic, outside the lines
of the normal tourist experience.
Sometimes backpacking leaves
you in a position where you are
depending on others to facilitate
experiences for you, but the truly
valuable experiences in life are the
ones you create for yourself.
Experiences? There were many!
Tigers, monkeys, elephant rides,
jungle trekking, seeing the setting
sun around the world. They saw
the road littered with the skeletal
remains of vans and busses whose
luck had run out, massive rock
trucks that ventured too close to
steep cliffs and motorcycles that
had met their match! They met new
friends and loved sharing the table
with other travelers, especially the
risk takers, the ones who get way off
the beaten path and have the stories
to prove it.
Is it the great unknown that
attracts these two adventurers?
Maybe so. But whatever it is, I would
say to them, keep on keepin on! more of their adventures, or along
You definitely have a story to tell.
Luang Prabang is not some-
where I would have selected to go

even heard of it until recently, but
sometimes in life we are pushed
into situations for reasons that are
beyond our grasp. You can fight it
or you can embrace it, I choose the
latter. I dont want to be the old
man who sits in his rocking chair
and tells the same story every day.
I want to live my life so that I never
have to tell the same story twice. In
this age of ambitions we sometimes
get too caught up in the pursuit
of a fancy job title and we forget
about writing our own story and
end up writing somebody elses.
Too many of us are willing to give
up everything for someone else,
but not ourselves. Youre worth it,
you have a story to tell and we are
waiting to hear it. Adam & Jill
Adam was quick to tell me during
our conversation that this adven-
ture would not be possible without
the help of friends and family. It
couldnt be done with just the two
of them. They do periodically stop
their travels, find a job to re-evaluate
whats next and to replenish money
in their accounts. They attribute
much of their passion to the senior
trip which took them out of a com-
fort zone and showed them some
other options. They recognize that
they often seek out small communi-
ties wherever they travel, it seems to
bring the most authentic experience
of those places they visit.
What have they learned? They
value experiences over posses-
sions and appreciate the ability to
be introspective - to ask what they
want for their lives. They feel very
blessed and have so much gratitude.
They have learned to live cheaply,
and find value in living life with a
minimalist attitude. Its extremely
beneficial to be aware of personal
and world issues. Issues are much
more complicated than you might
think looking in from the outside.
With full disclosure I have to say
that in bringing this story to readers,
I quickly realized that it can best be
told in their own words. (Adam is
an awesome writer!) Im not a fan
of reality TV; however, I would sug-
gest that the Meekers have a MUCH
more interesting story to tell, and
SO MUCH MORE to teach us, than
any of the current ones.
I have no interest in traveling
down the road less traveled, if the
guide is one of the Kardashians or a
real housewife. But if my road less
traveled is guided by these two, I
might just hitch a ride.
In your own words Adam and
Jill, you have a story to tell, and we
are waiting to hear more of it!

Johnson s food market
by KATHY PIERCE
Their small store was located on
the north side of Ogdens Walnut
Street, between Third and Fourth
Street, the current site of Invest-
ment Centers of America.
Clifford Sam and his wife
Marcia Johnson bought the grocery
store business from Howard Tons-
feldt and took possession Dec. 2,
1957, carrying on a family grocery
tradition.
Thats what I knew my whole
life, said Marcia who grew up in the
small town of Anita, Iowa where she
worked in her fathers grocery store.
She helped out as a teenager, left for
one year to study business at Drake
University, then returned home
to the store. Sams youth centered
around a meat market in Elkhorn,
Iowa run first by his grandfather,
then his dad. Sam was in the service
when his family moved to Anita.
When his tour was up Sam moved
back with his family and took a job
working for the man who would
eventually become his father-in-
law.
The couple broke out on their
own and moved to Cumberland

and his wife Rose purchased the
business for sale in Ogden.
They rented the lower portion
of the building from a man named
Melvin Anderson and renamed the
business Johnsons Food Market.
Like most buildings on main street,
apartments occupied the upper
level.
It was not a very big store, said
Marcia. We stocked shelves in the
basement, too, so there were a lot of
trips up and down the stairs.
She remembered the one time
when someone broke in the back
door, stole cigarettes, pop and a
big tube of summer sausage. The
perpetrator broke into Dr. Vermil-
lions office a few doors down that
same night.
Marcia pointed out that much of
their business came from the large
number of individuals employed by
Northern Natural Gas Company in
the 60s, many who had accounts.
Johnsons policy for charge and
delivery was specified in their ad:
All accounts to be paid in full each

The Johnsons continued work-
ing in the grocery business, Sam
helping Red in the meat depart-
ment then taking a job at Eddys
Super Valu in Perry. Marcia was
employed at Fareway in Boone from
1978 to 1993, sharing rides with an
Ogden girl, Debbie Zunkel, who also
worked there.
Groceries were always their
livelihood. Marcia said about the
only time they didnt work in a gro-
cery store was the summer before
their son Mikes senior year of high
school when they ran a restaurant
in Arkansas for three months. And
even then they were still managing
food.
Sam passed away in Febru-
ary, 2001. Marcia still resides in
Ogden.
Letter to the editor:
Im gonna tell you
something you dont want
to hear
to the editor:
My daughter likes to remind me that when a conversation is difficult,
my tendency is to hold her shoulders, look her directly in the face and say,
Im gonna tell you something you dont want to hear.
I assume that has made an impression on her. Its gotten her atten-
tion.
I feel like that is the thrust of this message.
To some Ogden residents, Im gonna tell you something right now you
dont want to hear.
The question about what direction to take with our school buildings is
not new news. It was discussed by the school board in their April 13, 2015
meeting at which time the board chose to hire Iowa Schoolhouse Con-
struction & Planning Services to conduct a facilities study. It was further
talked about by Superintendent Brad Jermeland at a June 3, 2015 meet-
ing with the goal of getting input from the public. The public was invited
to a facilities study meeting November 30, 2015 to learn what the Iowa
Schoolhouse Construction & Planning Services had to report. During this
time public was encouraged to visit their website for the results of the re-
search as it unfolded. And at the meeting January 18, 2016, Sam Harding
and Duane Van Hemert did provide their recommendation for ways to
impact the longevity of our district. It was also the date when people were
invited to join a facilities committee to look further into those findings
and recommendations with the goal of reporting to the OCSD board their
recommendations.
If you sense my frustration, it is true. I dont want to hear that we may
need to close a building either! Im not sure that it is the recommendation
which will be forthcoming with the current facilities study committee that
is currently delving into the research, considering all possibilities and will
eventually give their recommendation to the Ogden Community Board of
Directors. Everyone was invited to join that committee if you wanted.
My frustration? Just please dont say you havent heard anything about
it! Please dont act as if the school board is trying to pull one over on us and
move in a direction that is totally against the wishes of the community.
Wishes? I wish our district was not in the predicament we are currently
in. I wish we had the funding and tax base which allowed us to continue
with the status quo - keeping all three buildings open and maintaining the
current staff and programs. I wish I could look into the future and see that
our enrollment would increase. I wish I could forecast the future and say
that many more people were about to move into our wonderful community.
I wish I could predict that the birth rate is about to rise. . .
The trouble is, wishes dont pay the bills. If wishes were horses, beggars
would ride.

articles for sale were all first class, the meal was great, and the benefits for

students, parents and faculty members with whom I taught there, many
of whom havent changed a bit (i.e. Dave Larsen, Dick Smith, etc.). One
