Music Man alive in River City in Mason City Iowa
Mason City High School bands, led by Robert Dean since 1971, are the real River City success. The 100 member Symphonic Band dominates area, state, and regional contests while Dean warns that budgets hit art and music in schools as sports stadiums rise. He recalls Sousa, scores, and a rare coin from lunch with the famed bandmaster, insisting music fosters growth even as economics threaten programs.

Fire chief Charles Potts said two specialists from Effingham helped seal the car on a Baltimore & Ohio freight train near the Texaco refinery, using water to disperse vapor and preventing any injuries.
