Candidates set for Dayton City Council, mayoral elections After the Sept. 19 deadline, the Dayton could see a new face along with some who are quite familiar. Mayor Richard Travis will seek re-election for the mayoral position this November, while Dayton Coun-cil member Beth Wickwire will be the incumbents seek-ing re-election on the Dayton City Council. Kevin Lambert will also be seeking a spot on the council. The open spots will be those of Eric Skoglund’s seat and Claire Williamson’s seat on the council. Skoglund and Williamson’s terms will expire on Dec. 31. However, according to the Webster County Au-ditor’s Office, only Wickwire and Lambert have submit-ted papers despite three seats being open for election. With one seat open with no candidates, there is a possibility of a write in candidate on Nov. 3. All seats up for election are four year terms to begin on Jan. 1, 2016.

The swearing in of new board members Sean Stewart and Allan Wicklein, along with Todd Lund-gren, the organizing of subcommittees and the return of DECA were the main features of the September meeting of the Southeast Webster-Grand District School Board on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at the Southeast Valley Middle School Library in Burnside. The eventful meeting ran from 6:30 p.m. to ap-proximately 9 p.m., but was broken up into three separate meetings. The Annual Meeting began at 6:30 p.m. and concluded at 7 p.m. The Finance, Activity Account, Hot Lunch Financial, Special Education and Transportation reports were addressed to the board.

The Transportation Report saw the most discus-sion, as Transportation Director Curt Wiles stated that transportation costs are down. Wiles gave update on bus-es from September, as Bus No. 2 and 18 are obsolete and are currently used for spare parts. Bus No. 14 no longer fits the school’s needs, but is still usable. Wiles also promoted the use of computer-ized routing, and roughly calculated that the costs would be $7,500 for each district. Wiles also addressed bus drivers, and revealed that the district is short of drivers, three less than before. Six of the 12 drivers, according to Wiles, have

By Tyler Anderson Hope, victory, vigilance, sacrifice. Those words still resound loudly as they did two short years ago. The City of Dayton, The Dayton Light and Pow-er committee and the Dayton Historical Society held a dedication ceremony to the Kathlynn Shepard Memorial next to the Dayton Historical Museum on Saturday after-noon. The Kathlynn Shepard Memorial is comprised of the memorial bench, the cement circle to hold the bench and a redbud tree that will bloom purple in the spring. “We could not be more pleased with how beau-tiful the memorial turned out,” Kenny Sanders said dur-ing the dedication speech. “This would not have been possible without a small town working together to make this beautiful me-morial for Kathlynn.” Sanders, the 2015 Dayton Community Service Award recipient, also thanked the numerous donors in his speech. Sanders also noted that the funds and work all came from donations and volunteers. Along with the memorial, residents and busi-nesses from the Boone County area donated a beautiful pedal bike that had the appearance of a motorcycle, all adorned in purple. The bike was donated by Josie Sharp, as Jimmy Merrill of Ogden contributed and coordinated the bike’s

creation. The bike will permanately housed at the Dayton Historical Museum. “I felt real passionate about building this,” said an emotional Merrill. “We love you and will not forget this town.” According to Merrill, the bike’s creation took 67 days thanks to a lot of community support. “Thank you never seems to be enough,” said Michael Shepard at the ceremony. “The whole town has been nothing but supportive to us.” Kathlynn, 15, was abducted and killed after get-ting off a school bus in Dayton by a convicted sex of-fender. The offender, Michael Klunder of Stratford, com-mitted suicide after the murder. Her body was found weeks later in the Des Moines River by local fishermen. Since the tragedy, Michael Shepard and others founded Kathlynn’s Hope. Also, the Shepard family has partnered with the Chelsea’s Light Foundation to enact a “One Strike Law” for sexual offenders in Iowa and eventually nationwide. “This has been a long time coming,” said Mayor Richard Travis during the dedication. “We suffered a ma-jor loss more than two years ago. We came together as one, big family to support the Shepards. ” The Kathlynn Shepard Memorial will be a part of a larger complex next to the Dayton Historical Muse-um, which will consist of a Dayton Area Veteran’s Park in the near future.

2015 Dayton Community Service award recipient Kenny Sanders was the keynote speaker at the Kathlynn Shepard Memorial dedication on Saturday at the Dayton Historical Museum. Sanders thanked the donors and volun-teers who made the permanent memorial possible.

full time positions in the school. Wiles also said that re-tirements will be coming up within the next five years. Recently, there have been times where Wiles has had to be a little creative with transportation and routes, citing taking the JV football team to Ogden with one driver on route to their after-school routes and pick-ing them up with another driver after the individual driv-er concluded their bus route. Wiles also brought up that there’s some worry about busing during homecoming activities as well. Board President Dustin Hector thanked Curt for coming in and giving an assessment of transportation. Soon after, the meeting adjourned and went into the regular board meeting. The school board approved the contracts to have Jori Lizer to be the coach for DECA, and Jessica Hector to sponsor the junior high student council. The board then discussed moving and retrofit-ting the Boxholm baskets to be later placed in the new Dayton Gymnasium. The Castenson family offered to donate for movement of the baskets, but the board concluded that it can wait until the Boxholm school building situation is taken cared for and get a confirmed cost. The school board vowed to stay in contact with the Castenson family during the process. Before adjournment of the retiring board, long-time school board member Danny Hansen thanked the board and commended the board members for doing what’s best for the district. Hector thanked Hansen for his many years of service and dedication to the district. Hector also thanked Rob Scott for filling in as well and appreciated reaching out to the voters. The retiring board then adjourned. The new board called to order after a brief recess. After Flickinger called the meeting to order, Lundgren, Stewart and Wicklein were sworn in to new, four year terms. Lundgren, a longtime member of the Southeast Webster-Grand school board, was immediately nominat-ed for president. Lundgren was unanimously approved by the board, based on his extensive experience. Stewart and Lundgren ran unopposed in the recent school board election, while Wicklein ran unop-posed after board member Rob Scott dropped out. The school board set the meeting dates and times for every third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the Burnside library. After Lundgren became president and the board motioned to keep Dave Hainzinger as Vice-President and Karla Flickinger as Board Secretary and Treasurer, the principals and Superintendent Rich Stoffers gave their reports. Dayton Elementary School Principal Dan Grandfield reported that the number of students totaled 258. According to Grandfield, the number is down eight students from the 2014-15 school year. Grandfield said that Emergency Flip Charts for elementary school (same as middle school) will be in

every room for every teacher. Grandfield mentioned that the school year is off to a great start and the daycare has been awesome as well. Southeast Valley Middle School Principal Dan Fox was next, reporting that there are a lot of activities planned for homecoming week, but not as much as high school. Fox said that each classroom will have a door decorating contest. The goal during homecoming, ac-cording to Fox, is to get the buses out of Gowrie after coronation. Fox reported that the kids enjoyed it last year. This year, Fox said, the parade will be simplified. Fox also discussed the positive effects of bit.ly, noting that it speeds up the process of attaining informa-tion for school related projects. Fox noted that the staff and students have been relaxed, and will look to improve. Fox is also looking forward to the rest of the year. Superintendent Rich Stoffers gave his report, starting by congratulating Lundgren, Stewart and Wick-lein, while complimenting Hector for guiding the school through the whole grade sharing agreement. Stoffers said that the baseball field’s top priority for improvement is tiling and that the Boxholm building needs to be winterized. There has been some personnel changes, and Stoffers reported that they have been good. Stoffers also reported that the TLC (the Iowa Teacher Leadership and Compensation) Grant is a living, breathing document and will be finished soon with the help of Prairie Val-ley’s Bethany Rippentrop-Nuss and Southeast Webster-Grand’s Janet Wills. The board commented that missing the grant’s deadline is not an option. After administrative communications, the sub-committees were promptly created. Lundgren will be the Iowa Association of School Boards delegate for SWG, while Hector and Lundgren will represent the district for the Webster and Boone County Boards. Stewart and Wicklein will represent SWG in the Iowa School Improvement Advisory Committee while Lundgren, Hainzinger and Kenny Sanders will be the Ne-gotiations Team, along comprising of the Building and Grounds Committee. The Curriculum PD and Equity subcommittee will be consisted of Hector, Wicklein and Stewart. They will also serve with the Public Relations subcommittee. Lastly, Lundgren and Stewart will be part of the Technology subcommittee. Before its conclusion, Principal Fox reported that for the month of September, the middle school has been moving forward with engaging Chromebook apps and websites. YouTube is not one of the top 10, and gam-ing sites is not in the Top 15 in student created internet searches and website hits. The school board also acknowledged the stel-lar play of the Southeast Valley athletic teams and great participation at the high school level. The next meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at the Southeast Valley Middle School Library in Burnside.

This is Homecoming Week, and we are going to celebrate the Week with the rest of Jag Nation as follows: On Monday and Tuesday we decorated doors - this year’s Homecoming Theme is “A Heroes Homecom-ing” and we are playing the West Central Valley Wild-cats (like to have your doors done by Wednesday so the High School kids can judge them when they come over on Thursday morning). Wednesday is Neon Day. Students should wear bight neon colors “Blind The Wildcats.” Thursday is Super Hero Day. Dress like your favorite Super Hero or military, law enforcement, fire fighter, teacher, parent, etc. “Truth, Justice, and the Jag-uar Way” is the slogan. Also on Thursday, we will have the Elementary Pep Rally (put on by the SVHS students) at 9:45 a.m. in the Gym across the street. Friday is Jag Swag Day. Students should wear all your favorite Jag apparel or black, teal, and silver “Can’t beat that Jag Swag.” We will have a prize(s) for the classroom with the greatest participation in the dress up fun each day. We will have a prize(s) for the room (as voted by the high school Pep Rally students) for the best door. Homecoming Parade As it stands now, the buses will be leaving Day-ton at 1:05. We will arrive and be dropped off on the North Side of the Gowrie City Park at 1:30. We will have roughly 10 minutes to get our kids lined up so we can start our parade march at 1:40. We will line up with TK up front (closest to Market Street), K, 1, 2, 3, and finally 4. When we turn onto Market Street, we will be on the South side of the street and PV Elementary will be on the North side of the street (by grade level). Parents will know where to be to get the best photos of their children. We will stop when we get to Macke Motors and line up in front of the busi-nesses on the East side of that street (in other words. We will be on the sidewalk across from Macke Motors) to watch the high school portion of the parade. Teachers will need their class rosters and a sign out sheet for parents, who may pick up their children after the parade is over. Parents will have to sign their child out directly with the classroom teacher. Parents must come to the teacher to pick up their child; we will not send the child somewhere else to meet the parent. Due to the busing situation, we will not be able to stay for the Pep Rally at the football field after the pa-rade. Once everyone is signed out, the rest will load the buses, which will be in the empty lot to the east of where we watched the parade from. We will plan on loading the buses and leaving Gowrie right around 2:40. We will

Dayton Elementary School celebrates Homecoming Week

Surveying Pilot Mound farmland without permission. . . Over a year ago my attorney notified “Energy Transfer Partners, LP, DBA Bakken Pipeline, LLC, DBA Dakota Access LLC, by letter that I was NOT interested in having a pipeline on my property. Many times since then Dakota Access LLC persisted wanting to survey my property and I always replied, NO! This last April 2015, Dakota Access LLC took the issue to the Iowa District Court for Boone County and filed Case Number EQ40450. Petitioning the court to order the survey of my property and ordering the Boone County Sheriff to protect the surveyors while they survey my property in case I would interfere. In one sentence the results were as follows: Judge John J. Haney ruled, based on Iowa Law 479B.15 that the pipeline company has the right to sur-vey my property with the protection of the Boone County Sheriff, and they did survey my property without my per-mission and the Boone County Sheriff Department was present. I know this because a few days later I received an Engineers plat of the proposed route of the pipeline through my properties and the pipeline company listed my property on Exhibit H (Eminent Domain) with the Iowa Utilities Board even though my neighbors to the west, north and east have given easements to the pipeline company and have been paid by the pipeline company for those easements so the pipeline company already has a route around my property. My apologies to my English teacher, Mrs. Weeks, but there you have the information in one sentence and I still say NO!! Our Governor, Senators, Representatives, Judges and Sheriffs are supposedly paid by Iowa taxpayers, to pro-tect Iowa taxpayers, NOT BIG OIL!!! Maybe it’s time to change some laws and protect private property in Iowa and Iowa taxpayers. The next election is coming up. Pilot Mound is known for being the “friendliest town around”. So far I have tried to be nice.

Respectfully, an Iowa property owner and taxpayer,

Webster County Annual Financial Report

By Tyler Anderson In a tilt for the command of Class 2A-District 8, the Southeast Valley Jaguars fell short after a long, three hour road trip. It also made for a long trip home for play-ers, coaches and supporters alike. The Southeast Valley football team endured a tough loss on Friday night at Mustang Field in Shenan-doah, dropping to the Shenandoah Mustangs, 28-19. While their first loss of the season dips the Jag-uars’ record to 3-1 thus far in the 2015 campaign, South-east Valley still maintains a chance to win the district. Southeast Valley began the game with a surprise squib kick by junior Dakota Jaeschke, which fell into Mustang hands and presented Shenandoah (4-0) with a short field to work with. The Mustangs threatened to score despite early holding penalties. Before the Mustangs could draw first blood, se-nior Cade King snagged a pass from Shenandoah quarter-back Jake Johnson to keep the game scoreless. Unfortunately, the Jaguars offense had trouble getting the offense going, which led to a one yard plunge by Shenandoah running back Logan Roberts. A missed PAT left Southeast Valley trailing 6-0 by the end of the first quarter. The Jaguars responded with a drive stemming from a fumble recovery by junior Ryan Gustafson, which led to junior quarterback Nolan Brand getting sacked on fourth down on the Mustang 16 yard line. Shenandoah soon took advantage, as Mustang

running back Jordan Miller burst through for a 53 yard run before being brought down by Jaguar defenders. The Mustangs would fail to capitalize on the big run, as a botched option pitch led to a fumble recovery by senior Keaton Jondle. However, the Jaguars couldn’t convert the turn-over into points, as Brand gave up a nearly 100 yard pick six to give the Mustangs a 14-0 advantage going into the locker room. In the third quarter, the Jags closed the gap to seven points after a huge kickoff return by King and a drive that finished with an eight yard scamper into paydirt by sophomore Kaleb Jondle. The Mustangs answered by scoring 14 unan-swered points by controlling the line of scrimmage, leav-ing Southeast Valley in a 28-7 disadvantage. Southeast Valley attempted to get back into the game, as Brand connected to King on an 82 yard touch-down pass, along with a nine yard Brand pass to sopho-more Nolan Johnson through traffic in the back of the endzone. Unfortunately, two late interceptions kept the Jaguars from attaining a potential lead and completing the rally, falling short in the end. Brand was 17-32 for 236 yards and two touch-downs. King led the Jags receiving corps with 111 yards in five receptions, while Jondle led Southeast Valley with

Southeast Valley’s late rally falls short to Shenandoah Mustangs 28-19Jags drop to 3-1, host West Central Valley for Homecoming...

Webster County Annual Financial Report

Jaguars split in Manson, fall to SCC By Tyler Anderson The Southeast Valley volleyball team continued their rough stretch this past week, going 1-2 against a slate of Twin Lakes Conference opponents. The lone conference win came on Tuesday, Sept. 15 in Manson against St. Mary’s of Storm Lake while the Jaguars (6-12) fell to Alta/Aurelia in Manson and defending TLC champion South Central Calhoun at home on Thursday, Sept. 17. In Manson, the Jaguars started off on a high note, defeating St. Mary’s of Storm Lake, 3-1. The girls won the first set by the score of 25-18 and narrowly edged the Panthers 25-21 in the second. Southeast Valley then lost the third set, 25-11 before coming back to seal the victory with a 25-13 score. The Jaguars continued that momentum initially against Alta/Aurelia, defeating the Warriors 25-19. How-ever, the Warriors overpowered the girls, winning the next two sets by scores of 25-14 and 25-16. Alta/Aurelia then finished the match by narrow-ly defeating Southeast Valley in the final set, 26-24. On Thursday against South Central Calhoun, the Jaguars were swept at home, 3-0. The Titans snapped a two game losing skid to the home standing Jaguars, sweeping Southeast Valley by scores of 25-16, 25-17 and 25-12. Southeast Valley will look to get back into the win column, continuing their homestand on Thursday, Sept. 24 as they host Newell-Fonda and Manson-North-west Webster. These home matches are a part of Southeast Valley’s Homecoming Week, as well as America Night in Gowrie festivity, where fans can purchase patriotic items from Southeast Valley students.

Official stadium name? Let’s let SV students decide! Hello, my friends. I’m Tyler, yet again. I’m hor-rible about switching up my greetings. Forgive me on this one. Wow. It’s already Homecoming Week. Time flies when you’re busy. Or sick. Or sick and busy. Enough of me complaining about my bout with the common cold, it’s good to see that there are a ton of activities going on for the week where school spirit is at its highest. Not just in students, faculty and the administra-tors, but for the community as a whole. It gives me a small sense of nostalgia, where I could (half-heartedly) dress up according to the wacky themes dreamt up by the student council. Then, there are the banners that say “Beat (In-sert Other Team Name Here)” and have our signatures all over them. It’s no different now than it was when I attended Southeast Webster High School, just substitute the col-ors, location and add a sweet parade to the equation. At the end of the parade on Friday, the destina-tion will be the football stadium. Should the weather hold up, there will be a massive pep rally to support the Jaguars before they go up against the West Central Valley Wildcats. It will be a great time hearing the crowd roar when the Southeast Valley football team takes to the field. Amidst of all the hoopla and support for the teal and black, I do have one nitpick. Like all of my small nit-picks, it’s not intended to stomp on anyone’s toes or hurt any feelings. It’s just food for thought. Think of me as the big supporter who notices the little things every now and then. With that stated, I want to point out that the sta-dium in Gowrie has no official name.

I’ve asked the kind folks at the Southeast Valley High School in Gowrie, and yup…it’s just referred to as “the stadium.” This is an anomaly of sorts, as there’s Dodger Stadium in Fort Dodge, Gene Henrichsen Field in Eagle Grove, and last but not least, Lyons Field in Burnside. You can’t read anywhere or go anywhere in the realm of high school, collegiate or professional sports without a name attached to a venue, even if it’s some-thing terrible like Sports Authority Field at Mile High or University of Phoenix Stadium. So it’s weird, but is there a really good name that can do the stadium in Gowrie justice? Let’s take a quick look. First, there’s simply Southeast Valley Stadium or Jaguars Stadium. Those are sound options, like the UNI-Dome. Simple, to the point and easy to recognize. There’s also Gowrie Stadium too. Another clean and simple name. Or perhaps, and I may ask for your help out there, how about naming the stadium after a huge donor or someone (administrator, coach or player) who was vital to the athletic history of Gowrie, Prairie or Prairie Valley football? There’s plenty of venues that honor those who have done so much for their respective programs and are no longer around, look no further than Jack Trice Sta-dium and Kinnick Stadium. Both of which are named after Cyclone and Hawkeye legends, both of which were taken before their time. For a little fun, there’s also the possibility of Jaguars Field at Southeast Valley in Gowrie. That will make some heads spin. Then again, we could just leave the official name alone. If anything, the students, fans and writers (like yours truly) could spice things up by giving the sta-dium some unofficial nicknames. Like anything that concerns large felines (leav-ing out lions and cougars), “The Jungle” is also a good nickname. I’ve honestly heard “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns & Roses constantly played at a few football games, so that’s a good start. However, the same nickname can be applied to the High School Gymnasium too. So there could be a little confusion there. But I’ll stop right there with my rambling. I have a better idea. Instead of someone out of the loop such as my-self, or involving any higher powers (principals, superin-tendents, school boards, parents, etc.)…let’s let the kids decide what they want to name their home field. They’ve done it before with the mascot and col-ors, and the students have done an amazing job on that task. I think naming their home stadium this time around will be a cinch for them. It will also enable the Southeast Valley student body to make another mark on school history going for-ward.

By Mary Ann Young September 19, was Law Enforcement Apprecia-tion Day. We owe a great deal to our Law Enforcement Officers. They put themselves in harm's way everyday. In circumstances that we, everyday citizens, will try to find a place to protect ourselves by taking cov-er in a safe place. Law Enforcement Officers will have to face the danger and deal with it. Who do we think of calling when danger arises? Law Enforcement. These are American heroes. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to ALL Law Enforcement Officers. We are truly in your debt.

Thank a Police Officer Day

Semi Annual Report of Jan Messerly Webster County Treasurer

Down Memory LaneB Y S A R A D O W N S

The year of 2015 will probably be remembered by most “Daytonites” as The Year of the Flood”. While I was writing the previous column I remembered another flood. Perhaps you will remember with me. That was the July flood of 1993. This flood covered several states, par-ticularly those along the Mississippi. This is memorable to me for a number of reasons. It was a Wednesday night when my phone rang and a neighbor of my parents was calling to say Mom was being taken by ambulance to the hospital. I called my daughter who packed a few articles of clothing as did I and she came and got me. We had had some rain at that time but nothing too bad. That was not a good night for we lost my Mom. We took Dad home and the three of us managed to get some sleep. A good neighbor was kind enough to come and sit with Dad while my daughter and I went back to Des Moines later the next day. I took care of some things at home, packed up clothes to last for a while and Thurs-day evening a friend drove me back to Boxholm. It was cloudy and dark and dampish. It seems we no sooner went over the railroad viaduct, heading north on 169, when the skies opened up and there was such a torrential gully washer that we had to stop, hoping we were on a firm shoulder and others had the good sense to do the same. And so it was. The funeral had been planned but by that day ev-ery low spot near a stream in Iowa seemed to be flooded and for the people to get to Ogden and Boxholm it took

Southeast Valley students involved in local business, school improvements The SV high school students are making contri-butions to their school. An attractive new sign has been added to the east corner of the building. The sign was installed by several students in-cluding Casey Isles, Drake Oldson, Justin McNamar. The Community Based Learning class just opened the “Fruit Shack”. This is a student-run business designed to give students experience in a “real-life” setting. The “Fruit Shack” is run by Dalton Krantz and Makayla Busma.

The business makes nutritionally-compliant smoothies that are sold to students and staff. The first day of sales, exceeding expectations, by doubling sales. According to one student, “these are awesome!”. The Community Based Learning class also gained experience with a Gowrie Economic Develop-ment project. The project, headed by Phil DeCastro, is a frisbie golf course near the swimming pool and football field. The students will be expanding their community experiences throughout the year.

The new Southeast Valley school sign is in the process of being installed in front of Southeast Valley High School in Gowrie. Southeast Valley students have been heavily involved in the construction of the new sign.

And so it was. The funeral had been planned but by that day ev-ery low spot near a stream in Iowa seemed to be flooded and for the people to get to Ogden and Boxholm it took

And nary a drop to drink...several detours. Others of you will remember the river west of Boone as one instance of flooded roads. Coming back to Boxholm after the interment I remarked to Dad that it looked like that gravel pit and the river were about to spill out over the interstate near Des Moines. We came into the house and I “automatically” walked over to the TV and turned it on to find that that little over an hour it took us to arrive back in Boxholm the flooding had hit the Des Moines area and later the waterworks was out of commission, people were sand-bagging, emergency measures were activated in hospitals and nursing homes. Many of my children and families had planned to come to Boxholm on Sunday but couldn’t find a road out of town. They did manage to get there the next day, laundry baskets and all. The washer was going constantly as was the dryer and the still available clotheslines were filled. The basement shower could be heard and the bath-room tub being filed numerous times. Dad gladly paid that water bill just to have his family around him. Back in Des Moines there as a water purifying system (thanks to the military) set up to Mercy Hospital (closest to the river) and then, I assume, trucked to the others. I stayed with Dad for a week so wasn’t prepared when I came home to there still being a flooding, no wa-ter situation. Dad came with me but my son took him to their home in the country east of Des Moines. They had water. At my apartment complex there was a tank of river water for flushing purposes and an enclosed one holding water for other purposes. We bought water and pop for drinking, ate cold food so not to waste water by cooking and dirtying dish-es, using paper plates and plastic cups. We brushed our teeth with a minimum amount of water; went with dirty hair, took sponge baths using a basin of some kind in our sink and then hand washing undies in the water, using a minimum amount for rinsing then dumping into our “flushing” buckets. Waste not, want not. The slogan of the time was “If it’s yellow, let it mellow; it it’s brown, flush it down”. Scrubbing up the bathroom would come a week or so later. Air fresheners were lavishly used as were deodorants and talcum powder. I only had to put up with it a week. My fellow employees were into their second week when I returned to work. The company gave free bottles of pop but asked that if we couldn’t drink it all, please share – waste not, want not. The restroom was another inconvenience but at least it was handled. From the 3rd floor we had to go down to the basement garage area and then outside to the adjoining drive in area where several kybos were installed. But we survived; so did the town and Iowa. I don’t recall any big calamities. People worked together to get things re-stored to at least near norm as quickly as possible. I don’t believe there was any big crime wave as we often read about or see on TV when such calamities appear in other cities. People really worked together and for each other. On the TV I have seen evidence of that spirit in the Dayton area -- people working together, hard and long to restore their town and the rodeo grounds so that “the show can go on”. By the time this goes to print those days will have been here and gone but right now I am hoping and praying for the people of Dayton and Strat-ford in particular. I still have faith in that small town spirit, caring and togetherness when a crisis is to be met.

Mark Klever, Dayton, reminisced about his friend Jane Thorngren, who is an accomplished opera singer in New York City. Jane is a 1965 graduate of the high school in Boxholm. She was born and raised on a farm near Pilot Mound. Mark was a very young teacher and coach at Boxholm. Jame’s inspiration was probably her mother who played organ and piano at church while also leading the church choir. Jane starting singing at age 3. Jane did receive music degrees at Drake and USC. Jane comes back to her home town occasionally. Mark has taken Jane and her husband out to eat a few times. “Jane is a very good singer and has been a pro-fessional singer for several decades,” said Mark. Jane performs opera, operetta, and concerts. The former Pilot Mound woman met her hus-band Walter McNeil when they performed in the opera La Traviata in Knoxville, TN. Jane played Violetta and Walter played Alfredo. They now live in New York City. Today Jane is a full-time performer while Wal-ter performs occasionally. He grew up back stage in Italy listening to the voice of his father, a world famous bari-tone. Walter chose a career in computers. Well this is a great small town success story and it’s wonderful that Mark has continued to bond with Mrs. Thorngren occasionally. In opera, incidentally, Jane continues to use her maiden name as do other professional performers.≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

The 125th year milestone achieved by Engquist Lumber, Harcourt, in June is really incred-ible. The business that started in 1990 has been owned and operated by four generations of Engquists. Scott and Diane Engquist are the current owners. I was watching C-span recently and someone representing the New York Times stated that only three per cent of family owned businesses (all types) extend to the fourth generation. So it really is amazing and congratulations to the Engquists and staff at Engquist Lumber, Harcourt!

Praire Valley SchoolDistrict Budget set; Transportation costs rise The Prairie Valley School Districtr budget (un-spent balance) for the coming year is $847,074. It was noted that a $1 million unspent balance would be opti-mum. Transportation costs are higher this year due to the extra cost of grade sharing. Another source of declin-ing revenue is the loss of open enrollment credits as the district cannot continue to claim middle and high school students who used to reside in the Southeast Webster Grand district, but open-enrolled to Prairie Valley be-cause the districts are in a whole grade sharing arrange-ment. Although a very small number of students trans-ferred out for various reasons, it was reported that district enrollment has remained steady.

The Prairie Valley School Board met the eve-ning of Sept. 16 to address several pending issues regard-ing the start of the 2015-2016 academic year. Initially, attention centered on results of a recent audit of the dis-trict. Though board secretary, Lisa Willardson de-scribed the process as “very challenging,” and superin-tendent, Lois Irwin, concurred the process was “quite painful,” it seems the figures were quite acceptable to district administrators and the board at large. New changes due to grade sharing with the Southeast Webster Grand School District have made the balancing of the books a bit more challenging. For ex-ample, this year the registration was combined for both school districts allowing funds to be pooled into one mis-cellaneous holding account before checks are cut for spe-cific programs. Currently the miscellaneous holding is higher than usual as many parents have added funds to student breakfast and lunch accounts. Addi-tionally, with the new op-tion of on-line enrollment, funds continue to come in as more and more individ-uals seek out this expedited form of fee payment. Board President Shannon Miller, inquired, “Are we all closed out for the last fiscal year?” Willardson responded by pointing out, “This dis-trict’s activity fund never went into the negative.” (This is only for the activ-ity fund; the district had concerns that the purchase

Prairie Valley School Board reviewsaudit, whole grade sharing factorsSpecial education shortfalls reduced. . .

of new uniforms across the board would be a financial hardship, but it ended positive. ) The unspent balance to-tal increased slightly this year. Additionally, the board questioned if all capital projects have been paid to date. Fortunately, it was indi-cated that this is true except for minor improvements such as the replacement of a door. However, Irwin indicated the air conditioning in the high school library is in dire need of replacement. If this is chosen to be replaced, es-timated costs for the district are approximately $10,000. It was pointed out that we are near the close of summer temperatures, and the issue should be tabled for the time being. Irwin indicated that dilemmas such as this suggest a bigger picture dilemma. “Do we keep putting money into costly repairs such as this, or do we consider the concept of a large remodel?” With regard to personnel issues, Willardson ad-vised the board that Lisa Peterson, an associate at the el-ementary school, has offered her resignation. The board is thankful for her 17 years of service. It was pointed out that she has moved out of the area, and transportation is-sues may have played a key factor in her departure.Special eduction budgetshortfalls reduced As typically is the case, the district’s special education budget experienced a short fall this year. The

board can approve a resolution to levy for these required additional funds or the additional $2,400 can be taken out of the general fund. Board member, John Field, in-dicated the “general fund can certainly handle a debit of $2,400.” It was pointed out that the district has come a very long way in deterring special education shortfalls over the past four years. Just four years ago, the dis-trict faced a dire $261,000 overage for special education needs. The next year, the overage was cut more than half to approximately $109,000, and two academic years ago, the overage was approximately $41,000. Changes in student population have played a large part in the reduction in these numbers over the past years. It was indicated that particular students in any given year may require a very substantial amount

of funding to participate academically. The de-mographics may change significantly as students graduate or move on to other programs. Of concern, the issue was raised that dur-ing a prior administration, shortages in the district may have led to inappro-priate coding of expenses to place these in the spe-cial education budget when these were not indi-cated to belong to special education services. Board member, Jim Carlson, was critical of the fact that these dis-crepancies ever occurred. “The board should be able to sit down with the

auditors and look this over. That’s what we’re here for.”President Miller concurred. “Our auditors today would never let this fly.” Irwin indicated that this year’s board mem-bers will play an active role in the approval of the audit. “We’ll ensure this happens this year,” Irwin emphasized.As discussion on this topic closed, Willardson raised the concern that the $2,400 appeared correct of an ini-tial perusal of the budget, but urged that she needed to “plug the figure back into the formula to see how the cell was weighted” before making a final announcement that $2,400 was, in fact, the exact figure.

State Senator Hoggannounces candidacyat Callender City ParkSeeks U.S. Senate seat. . . Daryl Beall’s friend and former colleague, State Senator Rob Hogg (pronounced with a long “O”) created a U. S. Senate Exploratory Committee several months ago. Senator Hogg planned to make a major po-litical announcement this Tuesday, Sept. 22, at 10 a.m., in the Callender City Park shelter (Callender Heritage Li-brary community room in case of inclement weather). He selected Callender because his maternal grandmother was born and raised in Callender. Her name was Esther Swanson Logan, born in 1902. Rob, a Democrat from Cedar Rapids, served in the Iowa House of Representatives before being elected to the Iowa Senate. He is widely recognized for his strong support for alternative and renewable energy. He is the author of “America’s Climate Centu-ry: What Climate Change Means for America in the 21st Century and What Americans Can Do About It.”

Jacob DeBaun (20:19) was 20th in the race also good for a medal. Josh Carlson (28th, 21:08) and Patrick Breitsprecher (34th, 21:46) were the last two scorers for the Jaguars. Nathan Montgomery (38th, 22:02) and Todd Hamilton (40th, 22:06) were the displacement scorers for the Jaguars while freshman Ben Carlson (48th, 22:45) was the next Jaguar to finish. The Southeast Valley boys’ cross country team also had Lucas Pontius (68th, 24:34), Dalton Dencklau (69th, 24:40), Michael Vosberg (78th, 25:40), Ben Se-bring (79th, 25:41), and Isaiah Gibbs (80th, 25:46) finish the boys’ race. Isaiah was followed by teammates Aaron True (82nd, 26:29), Dillon Sytsma (85th, 26:46), Max Davis (92nd, 27:25) and Jordan Lane (97th, 32:37). Overall, the Jaguars showed a lot of mental toughness in this race. With several runners feeling under the weather and a few more nursing some minor injuries, the perse-verance and competitive nature of both teams really came through in Saydel. Southeast Valley will get some much needed re-covery and practice time before competing in their next meet on Monday, Sept. 21 in Humboldt. The Jaguars then travel to Hickory Park, east of Nevada, on Monday, Sept. 28.

Storyteller: John MitchellStorywriters: Shelly Schmider & Melissa Phipps

Editor's note: John Mitchell was raised to help others, became a lawyer, was elected to the State Legis-lature, became Speaker of the House and eventually the Attorney General of Iowa. He was able to help farmers and others during the Great Depression in Iowa.

I sat quietly at my desk as memories came flood-ing back. After leaving a message with my secretary not to be disturbed, I easily let my mind drift back to the days when hard times were upon the land. Times the like of which the people had never seen or even imagined. At the time it had all seemed so impossible that everyone was in such bad shape financially. The streets that once boasted of being paved with gold now only ap-peared to be what they were – wood, gravel and stone. The Depression came as unexpectedly as does a sudden and tragic death. Wages having risen in the 1920's, everyone believed this to be the beginning of a golden era. Credit buying quickly became a way of life. The stock market was steadily on the gain and people were making good returns on their investments. Then the bottom dropped. The stock mar-ket crashed due to over speculation and credit buying. Twelve million Americans had lost their jobs, and even worse, started losing their homes because their rent could not be paid. In Iowa, as across the nation, our farmers were in deep trouble as they began losing the land which had been in their families for generations, land which their great-grandfathers had homesteaded. The public auctions which were held were a terrible ordeal. All the farmers who attended would watch as neighbor after neighbor would have their property sold for back taxes and mort-gage defaults. Frustrations were many and tempers were hot. But there were people who cared about what was happening and I was glad I was one man who de-cided to take affirmative steps so that farmers would no longer have to suffer the loss of their land. I was raised in a family constantly concerned with helping others. My father, a lawyer, had a natural in-clination towards aiding others and preventing injustices. Having learned all of this as a boy, I decided to follow in my father's footsteps, attending Loras and the University of Iowa to become a lawyer. I started my practice in Humboldt and later be-came a partner in my father's law firm. Yet I was still not satisfied. I wanted to do more than just talk about the problems I saw. I entered the field of politics and was elected to the State Legislature. I spent hours talking to people trying to rectify the situation. As in any problem, I was met with help from some and opposition from others who enjoyed being able

to buy land at such cheap prices at someone else's ex-pense. Even with all this I drafted a bill and introduced it into the House. This bill extended for two years the closing of mortgages on farm land. It was a strong bill, one that certainly received the support of the farmers and the publics sympathy. In fact the farmers marched on the Capitol grounds to demonstrate their approval. The bill passed and after receiving approval of the House and Senate, was signed into law by the Gover-nor. As time passed I moved on to become Speaker of the House and Attorney General of Iowa. But even years later I will still tell you my proudest and greatest ac-complishment was being able to pass the bill that let our farmers keep their land during those terrible years called the Great Depression.

54 rushing yards. This snaps Jondle’s two game streak of attaining the century mark in rushing. Defensively, Southeast Valley was led by senior Conner Conrad with 10.5 total tackles. Sophomore Nolan Johnson and junior Aaron Swieter were not far behind, tallying eight and half total tackles respectively for the Jaguars. Southeast Valley will seek to rebound from their initial loss, returning home for Homecoming at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 25 against West Central Valley in Gowrie. The Wildcats (0-4) sit at the bottom of the dis-trict, dropping a 54-8 decision to Red Oak on Friday eve-ning. The Mustangs will travel to Clarinda to play dis-trict rival Clarinda (1-3), who lost to East Sac County on Friday, 22-0. Class 2A-District 8 saw Carroll Keumper drop to South Central Calhoun by the score of 40-14.
