Monday, February 2
6:00-7:00 p.m.

In January 2013, we opened the Dayton Food Pantry to those in need of emergency food help living in the
SEW-Grand school district, which includes Boxholm,
Burnside, Dayton, Harcourt, Lehigh and Pilot Mound.
Last year started off slow, but as more people
learned that it was for more than just Dayton, the usage
increased as the year progressed.
This 2014 year, we served 62 families at least one or
more months during the year, with the monthly average
being 19 families. We are open on the third Saturday of
each month from 10:00 12:00 noon. The participant
receives a shopping list as a guide to the various things
they can pick from and how many. They also receive a
voucher to the Dayton Community Grocery for things
such as milk, eggs, bread, margarine, meat and fresh produce.
With more families using our service, we have a
greater need for donations as the shelves get pretty well
emptied out each month, but I'm proud to say that people
from the area have really stepped up and met the need...
especially this Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Anyone wishing to donate food may
leave it at the Emanuel Lutheran Church or in the green
container by the door at the Dayton Community Grocery.
Any monetary donations can be given or sent to Diane
Esperson, 504 2nd St. NE #801, Dayton, IA 50530.
We are very fortunate to have so many individuals
and organizations that have donated to this worthy cause.
Thank You to each and every one of you!!!!
approximately 20 years ago. Additionally, it was clarified that a $2.40 bond issue was passed approximately 20
years ago as the previous levy expired; however, it was
noted the district cannot pass a bond issue and a Physical
Plant and Equipment Levy at the same time.
Superintendent Lois Irwin clarified the four positions those concerned with the future of the Prairie Valley School District infrastructure may assume:
1. The district can do nothing.
2. The district can maintain existing buildings.
3. The district can remodel existing buildings.
4. The district can rebuild existing buildings.
Irwin did not identify any one of these choices
as the preferred option for the district. Its the community that makes the decision, emphasized Irwin.
As voters take to the polls on February 3rd, the
district wants to remind voters there are three general
aims for the proposed tax levy increase:
1. Improve student centered technology;
2. Building and grounds improvement;
3. Improve transportation fleet;
An example of student centered technology

Kidnapping attempts
reported in Dayton,
Gowrie on Sunday
There were two attempted kidnappings in Gowrie and Dayton on Sunday, Sept. 28.
The failed abduction in Gowrie was at Brockett Park,
located on the south side of the towns business district
and reported at 2:50 p.m. The girl was 12 to 13 years old.
She got away, running across the alley north to the businesses.
An unconfirmed local source reported the girl
being cut from the attempt.
Sheriff James Stubbs told local news station
KCCI someone with a ski mask approached her from the
bushes and as she ran she saw an older, white vehicle with
rust, a van, SUV or truck in the alley.
In Dayton, the kidnapping attempt was reported
at 5:09 p.m. by a girl five to six years old riding her bike
by 3rd St. NE and 5th Ave. NE. The Grandview Care
Center is located in that block. The man was reported following the girl on foot.
In both attempts a man wearing a black ski mask
with the same vehicle description was reported.
Brockett Park in Gowrie is a very popular park
where Soccer is played along with Little League sports.
The north boundary of the park is lined with bushes making it impossible to see it. The day care right by the alley
also utilizes the park.
The 13 year old girl who was a potential kidnapping victim Sunday in Gowrie went to school Monday as
usual and according to local sources she walked with a
group of her friends.
There was a report of a kindergarten student not
attending Monday due to Sundays incident. There was
a field trip planned for the kindergartners that stayed on
schedule.
We need the publics help to solve these incidents. Gowrie and Dayton are 12 miles apart and are on
Highway 175. If anyone was in the area of either incident
and saw a white van, truck or SUV or something out of
place please call the Dayton Police Department 515-5472624.Gowrie Police Department 515-352-3800 or the
Webster County Sheriffs Office. You may also call Webster County Crime Stoppers at 515-573-1444.

They sent me to school in the service, he said.
He studied metal working at trade school in Chicago for six weeks before being sent to service pilots at a
base in Rhode Island. Before he was discharged in 1946
Hansons military career took him up and down the east
coast and to a naval base in Puerto Rico where he serviced planes patrolling for enemy submarines along the

After his military service, Hanson hitchhiked

involves the former ICN room, now described as Polycom technology. Currently the district offers psychology,
sociology, and Spanish using this medium.
According to principal Jim Henrich, 20 students
are typically enrolled in each course. The district has
been approached by representatives from Iowa Central
Community College who would like to see an increase
in the number of course offerings. However, this would
require technology upgrades to be initiated by the district.
Willardson emphasized the problems faced by
the district. Current technology is ever-changing. What
worked well two years ago may be out of date this school
year. Additionally, it was noted that cell phone usage in
the building serves to tax the network.
Board member, Jim Carlson, expressed support
of the levy. If we do not need to spend the money, we
can save it. Its not use or lose money, he explained.
Additionally, the board may decide they are not going
to assess the levy in a particularly vulnerable year. For
example, if land values drop significantly in the next ten
years, the board may vote not to tax the land for fear this
is too great a burden for local farmers.
There was some discussion as to whether the
tax levy should originate solely from property taxes.
An alternative arrangement involves assessing 20 cents
of the dollar requested from income taxes. It was noted
that those who do not own property, i.e. those that rent
apartments, would be contributing to a proposed tax levy.
Some in attendance felt this arrangement would serve to
spread the cost of the levy more fairly across the community.
Board member, Heidi Mc Guire, also expressed
support for the levy. Were going to have small fires all
the time, she explained. For example, the elevator in
the high school went out unexpectedly. We have to be
prepared for unavoidable circumstances like this.
Dennis Tucker, former Prairie Valley principal,
agrees. We have to keep our facilities up to date, or we
will find our students sent elsewhere to school.
Mayor, David Stokesbary, concurs. If you have
a school in your city, this influences property values in
a positive manner. Additionally, Stokesbary expressed
concern that not enough funds are directed toward the
Arts. It was noted, he would love to see a theater at the
high school. Arts develops students as much or more
than athletics, he passionately espoused. We need to
make the arts something special.
Business Manager, Lisa Willardson, suggested
the nuts and bolts of the district are just as essential.
Buses are a necessity. Our buses must be rotated continuously. We lease the buses, and our lease comes up for
renewal every three years.
As the discussion moved toward input from the
public, concerns were raised. Many in attendance express
lingering hurt and resentment over the closure of the Callender building. In particular, the giving away of the
building, rather than a sale of the building, was an issue of
contention. One citizen was deeply concerned that bids
as high as $16,000 were dismissed, and that these funds
could have been used by the district. Board member,
Shannon Miller, explained the district was wary of an out
of state enterprise and didnt want to see a business failure
by an unfamiliar party result in deterioration of the building and property.
This sentiment was affirmed by several other
citizens in attendance. The reason people arent going
to vote for the PPEL is because people are left with a bad
taste in their mouths regarding the money wasted in the
closure of the Callender building, said one concern person.
You dont have good accountability as a board,
exclaimed another. Now youre asking us to pay more.
Shannon Miller expressed support in the face of
the angry sentiment. Were always looking for advice
from the public.

The Jan. 21 Prairie Valley School Board meeting
initiated with a discussion of upgrades needed to meet the
high demand for technology enhanced education in the
classroom. The district wants to continue providing a laptop for students and staff, but expressed concern the computers need to be replaced soon as technological changes
require upgrading on a regular basis.
Currently, high school students receive their own
personal computer, but laptops also need to be upgraded
at PV elementary as well. Its estimated it will cost the
district $47,000 to replace existing laptops. It was proposed the district could purchase half of the computers
this year, and add replacement costs for the other half of
computers to the next fiscal year.
Sean Blunk, PV physical education instructor,
submitted information regarding upgrades required for
the weight room. The PE department is seeking $6,500
in funds for cardiovascular equipment. Additionally, they
have been offered a donation of dumbbells from the Norwalk School District.
High school principal Jim Henrich stated the
room is used by students and 6-10 members of the public
as well. He added that the treadmills are becoming worn
out and a couple of them need to be taken out at this point.
Additionally, the heater in the practice gym went
out in mid-December. It has been discovered the unit
needs a new coil. According to principal Henrich, the
heater has been patched together to last the winter season. Essentially, the heater is functioning at half capacity,
but will need to be placed.
The district has received a bid of $11,856 to service the heater.
At this point in the meeting, high school student, Hannah Peterson, discussed the updated uniforms
requested by band members. The Southeast Webster
Grand School District will pass one-third of the cost of
the uniforms, as will the booster club, comprised mainly

Moved by Leffler, seconded by Campbell to adopt the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the Iowa Association of County Supervisors recognizes
that a high quality transportation system serves as the artery for economic
activity and that the condition of the infrastructure in the State of Iowa is a
key element for our future economic growth; and
WHEREAS, an integral part of the State of Iowas Road Use Tax
Fund (RUTF) is the fuel tax, which has not been significantly increased
since 1989, while maintenance and construction costs have more than
doubled during that same timeframe; and
WHEREAS, there have been several state-wide studies completed
over the past 10 years identifying the requirement to significantly increase
the amount of funding for the administration, maintenance and improvements to our state-wide public roadway system, including the 2006 Road
Use Tax Fund (RUTF) study, the 2011 Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) study
completed per 2011 Iowa Code Section 307.31, and the 2011 Governors
Transportation 2020 Citizen Advisory Commission (CAC) created by Governor Branstad; and
WHEREAS, the 2008 TIME-21 study documented the fact that under
todays funding structure and highway usage, over 20% of the travel done
in Iowa is by out-of-state drivers while only 13% of the states road use
revenues come from out of state drivers; and
WHEREAS, the funding provided by the implementation of the TIME21 Fund in 2009 is inadequate to meet the critical maintenance
and improvements needs for the State of Iowas transportation system; and
WHEREAS, 95% of Road Use Tax Fund revenues are required by
the Iowa Constitution to be spent only on our roadways; and
WHEREAS, due to the severe shortage in state funding to meet the
critical needs of our roadway system, several Iowa counties have had to
resort to issuing millions of dollars of bonds to pay for their most critical
maintenance needs, which will have to be paid off through property taxes;
and
WHEREAS, Webster County has issued $0.00 in bonds to pay for
our most critical roadway and bridge needs; and
WHEREAS, the 2011 Governors Transportation 2020 citizen Advisory Council report to Governor Branstad and the Iowa Legislature identified the need for at least $215 million per year of increased funding over
the next 20 years, in addition to the funding being provided by the TIME-21
revenues, just to meet the most critical needs of our transportation infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the Iowa Good Roads Association, the Iowa County
Engineers Association, and numerous business related associations
throughout Iowa have publically supported the call for increased RUTF
funding;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Iowa State Association of County Supervisors and the Webster County Board of Supervisors
strongly encourages the implementation a long-term, sustainable transportation funding solution to address the critical needs of our infrastructure

"When pride cometh, then cometh shame, but
with the lowly is wisdom." Proverbs 11:2
Do you remember playing softball in grade
school? When it was our turn to bat, we walked to home
plate full of confidence. Then the pitcher would toss the
ball, and with a triumphant swing, we just knew that it
was a home run. Instead, we missed the ball and all of a
sudden, we were on the verge of striking out.
We may not play softball anymore, but I think
this is something we all do (well, most of us anyway). We
march proudly to the home plate (our daily lives), thinking we will hit it over the fence, but in fact, the opposite
happens. What causes our downfall?
The word is found in the Scripture at the beginning of the article. Pride! We all become a little bit conceited, or a little bit over confident, and then we start to
boast about who we are and what we are doing for the
Lord. We start calling for "home runs" before we even
hit the ball, and then we expect to be treated special, like
a super star. (Proverbs 18:12) Most importantly, we forget the reason we have hit "home runs" in our life before
(Proverbs 22:4) We forget that everything we have, and
everything great we can do, is from God.(Psalm 18:32)
It's always interesting to see how much we rely
on God when we are on our knees, but how much we rely
on ourselves once He helps us get back on our feet. I
find it interesting that when we start relying on ourselves,
that's when we find ourselves back on our knees searching for God's grace.
What accomplishments have you had in your
life? What things are you good at? And are you trying
to get other people to notice what you can do, or are you
thanking God for what He has given you the ability to do?
Until next week...take a good look at your life
this week and determine whether the abilities you have
are your treasure, or is the God who has given them to
you the treasure?
