They moved into their new
three bedroom, three bathroom
home which was built by Jim
Zidon with woodwork and cabi-
nets made by Tommy Gemmill in
December 2013. The entire
home is decorated with Sioux
memorabilia.
The oldest item is a program
dated 1947 for a game between
the Rabbit Chokers and Stump
Jumpers (LIND and NDSU). A
favorite of Mike's would be his
collection of about 20 Sioux bob-
ble heads, but one can find any
number of specialty items, in-
cluding lockers from the arena,
jerseys, posters and photos like
the hallway, the Home of the
Sioux sign is proudly displayed
on the fence facing the house,
and even an Ed Belfour hockey
stick stands against the wall.
Nearly everything is done in
green and white.
The Dvorak's hospitality and
love of entertaining is evident on
the signature wall in the entry
way where each guest signs the
wall with a pen in green or black,
or course Special lighting is used
to accent the dCcor both inside
and out. The large kitchen and
dining area provide a welcoming
gathering spot for coffee and con-
versation. The patio area features
a fire pit and an outdoor music
system, which creates another en-
tertainment area.

424 Briggs Avenue
Historical Taintor Block/Code
Block (as written on the brick
building) was built after the fire
of 1901 by proprietors J.B. Tain-
tor (owner of J.B. Taintors Meat
Market) and Ed Code (installed
Park Rivers 1 st local telephone
system).
The second floor at that time
consisted of doctors' offices and
also a dance hall. The original
hard wood floors, vaulted ceil-
ings, crown molding, and ceiling
lights can still be seen today. The
second floor has since been reno-
vated into apartments.
In the 1930's, the north side on
the first floor was a Post Office,
while the south side of the build-
ing was occupied as the Red Owl.
In years later, the Red Owl be-
came doctors' offices, a clinic,
and to present day, a chiropractic
clinic.
The north side of the first floor
was a coast to Coast store,
Deutz's Photography, and
Wayne's Decorating Den. In
2008, Dayton and Kelly decided
to remodel the north side of the
first floor. The first job to be done
was to remove the "store front
look" by relocating the front door
to the side, and pushing out the
wall between the front windows.
In doing this, they discovering
huge plates of glass that were in-
side the wall from the original
Post Office.
The remodel included new
ceilings, floors, walls and a
garage that was once a storage
room for the earlier businesses.
There will be a lot of"old" mixed
in with a twist of "new" on this
tour!

All you need to know about P.E.O.
PARK RIVER, N.D. -- The
mission of the P.E.O. Sisterhood,
an international philanthropic ed-
ucational organization, is to pro-
mote educational opportunities
for women, and education con-
tinues to be the primary philan-
thropy.
Over 80,000 women have been
recipients of over $175 million in
financial assistance of grants,
loans, scholarships and awards
through EE.O. philanthropies in-
cluding the Program for Continu-
ing Education, Educational Loan
Fund, International Peace Schol-
arship, Scholar Awards and the
STAR Scholarship. The grants
are made possible from voluntary
contributions form EE.O. chapters
throughout the U.S. and Canada
and gifts and bequests from LEO.
members and others.
Applications for the grants or
scholarships are made through a lo-
cal P.E.O. chapter. Anyone inter-
ested in information about the
philanthropies may contact Phyl-
lis Lofisgard, president of Chap-
ter Q, or any EE.O. member.
Chapter Q, which was formed in
1928, annually awards scholar-
ships to Park River Area High
School graduating senior women.
The EE.O. Sisterhood main-
tains six educational philanthro-
pies:
EE.O. Educational Loan Fund
is a revolving loan fund established
in 1907 to lend money to worthy
women students to assist them in
securing a higher education.
Cottey College is an accredited
liberal arts college for women at
Nevada, MO, owned and sup-
ported by the P.E.O. Sisterhood
since 1927.
P.E.O. International Scholar-
ship Fund was established in 1949
to provide scholarships for inter-
national women students to pursue
graduate study in the U.S. and
Canada.
EE.O. Program for Continuing
Education was established in 1973
to provide need-based grants to
women whose education has been
interrupted and who find it neces-
sary to return to school to support
themselves and /or their famili
es.
P.E.O. Scholar Awards was es-
tablished in 1991 to provide sub-
stantial awards to women who are
pursuing a graduate degree or are
engaged in graduate research.
The STAR Scholarship, estab-
lished in 2009, is a nonrenewable
scholarship for graduating high
school senior women that must be
used in the academic year fol-
lowing graduation.
Cheri Lothspeich
620 Briggs Avenue
"Cede mile faille" is stenciled
on the front door at the Lothspe-
ich home. This literally means
100,000 welcomes and is Cheri's
greeting to those who enter her
comfortable and cozy home. Her
house on Briggs Avenue in Park
River, which originally belonged
to the Bennington family, is
somewhere around 90 years old
and has the character and person-
ality to go with it.
Cheri had been looking for a
home in Park River for about one
year when she stepped into the
foyer of this house and felt it give
her a hug -- she knew she was
home. Since that time she has
spent countless hours on person-
alizing and updating the house.
Refinished and refurbished
furniture is displayed among
other items of special meaning to
Cheri. From the once discarded
mailbox from the previous ASCS
offices (where her mother
worked) which proudly displays
antique Christmas ornaments, to
the pair of well worn boots hold-
ing floral arrangements to the
card catalog cabinet from the
WCAS library, to the generations
of family photos scattered and
hung around the house.
This home says "Cheri lives
here and loves her home." She
said, "nothing here is expensive
but everything is precious."
Countless hours have been
spent on hands and knees refin-
ishing the hardwood floors, spe-
cial wall treatments are evidence,
even her mother's jewelry has
been arranged for wall hangings
and other decorations along with
antique family china and a very
special Nativity set made by her
mother with the stable made by
her father.
Guests will enjoy seeing the
updates and care taken to pre-
serve an older home and turn it
into a very comfortable and wel-
coming one.
Cookies and refreshments will
be served in the city meeting
room at 514 Briggs. Ave.
