Since 1877!
daytonreview@lvcta.com
No new information
in Roger Brown murder. . .
Webster County Sheriff Jim Stubbs affirmed
Friday that there is no new information to disclose on the
Roger Brown murder case. Roger was found murdered
from a gunshot Sept. 30 in his trailer in west Dayton.
Sheriff investigators and the DCI continue to
pursue leads in the case. Sheriff Stubbs stated that initially there were many calls received regarding the case.
But the calls to the Sheriffs office in this investigation have diminished.
There is a $2,500 award being offered to anyone
providing information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person/persons who committed this murder.
People with leads can call Crimestoppers at
515-573-1444 and their identity will be anonymous.

its branded seed, faster grain assets, or value-added corn

positioned to weather market volatility, directly access
global markets, and offer more to its owners.
We want to improve member service with

How can a hiking trail project less than a 100
feet in length take longer and receive more oversight than
this hazardous 1,134 mile long pipeline?
Mark Edwards
Boone, IA markedwards60@gmail.com
I retired as Trails Coordinator from the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources after 30 years of public
service.
I have worked across the state with the Army
Corps of Engineers, Native American people and many
other government organizations.
During this time I managed millions of dollars
for trail development on state land. I also represented the
people of Iowa on state and federal trail grant committees awarding multi-millions of dollars.
If the DNR wanted to build a new hiking, foot
trail, not a concrete bicycle trail, just a trail in the woods;
IF we even wanted to move an existing trail over 12 feet
to the side to reduce erosion we would be required to go
through more scrutiny than this pipeline will.
To build the trail would require an official agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers, Department of
Transportation, many Native American tribes, the State
Historical Preservation Office and various other federal
government requirements related to the Clean Water Act,
National Environmental Policy Act, Federal Endangered
Species Act, Sovereign Lands Construction Permit, and
Floodplain permits.
As of February of this year many of the permits
for this pipeline had not even been applied for. Trail projects needed environmental review and rarely happened
under three years after starting the paperwork permitting
process.

Community worship
celebration Sunday,
Nov. 15, in Dayton
An area farmer called 911 Saturday evening.
"It happened again. Two years ago I nearly died in an
anhydrous accident, and tonight my tractor blew up while
I was inside it. I had to jump blindly through the flames
to get out and nearly knocked myself out after hitting the
ground. Thank goodness no one was hurt," commented
Dean Vinchattle.
This is just another reminder how dangerous
farming can be but due to the quick response time of the
Gowrie Fire Department the fire was contained to just the
tractor. Photo's courtesy of Dean Vinchattle.
A Community Harvest Worship Celebration
will be held at the Dayton Community Center on Sunday,
November 15 at 10:30 am.

(CCI) will join with representatives of its 30 partner organizations from across the state at the Iowa Utilities
Boards public comment hearing at the Boone County
Fairgrounds on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 8:30 a.m.
Pipeline fighters, Iowa farmers, and landowners
will join together to call on the Iowa Utilities Board to
reject the hazardous liquid pipeline permit for the Dakota

have agreed to have their land used for the pipeline.
The pipeline route runs diagonally southeast
through Iowa and includes Webster County and Boone
County.
Iowa CCI is part of a growing number of organizations, landowners, and everyday citizens across the
state committed to stopping the proposed Bakken Pipeline alongside the Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition.
Iowa CCI is a statewide, grassroots peoples action group that uses community organizing to win public policy that puts communities before corporations and
people before profits, politics, and polluters.
CCI has been fighting to put people first for 40
years. For more information, visit www.iowacci.org.

I may be a bit of a computer junkie. I often
am drawn to the headlines of one of those pop up stories
that appear constantly on my screen. These days much
of it seems to center on politics and violence, locally or
around the world. But there was one that caught my eye
a few weeks ago. It was about pogo sticks. How many
of your kids had them or perhaps some of you readers are
young enough to have had one yourselves. I thought they
were toys of the past and that todays generation may
not have heard of them. Reading further into the article
I learned was about a contest or tournament held somewhere; the place now escapes me.
There was a bit of a difference in the tools
used in this contest. It seems the new sticks are quite a
bit taller than the originals and the winner had made his
jump nine feet high. The picture was there and I could
see that an adept jumper could probably get it that high.
That was the only time I saw reference to this new toy
or any competitions. But it got me to thinking.
In the not too distant future we will celebrate another Christmas and it must be difficult for many families
to come up with a present for their children that fits in
with their lifestyles and what the other kids will get.
Most of them have the electronic, technological toys
that parents can afford. How do you top it or match their
expectatons? I, as a great grandparent of many, dont
worry too much about these things as they get their token great grandma gifts to know I care. I sometimes try
to make it fun and they are usually distributed at some
family gathering so there is the pleasure of the get together and the atmosphere of the season.
What ever happened to the electric train sets,
you know the basic Lionels the youngest recipient got
as a starter set? They were the kind you could build on
so there were a lot of birthdays and Christmases in the
future. If you had room in the house, a bedroom, basement or even the garage to set up a fairly permanent setting, that was great. This was a hobby that many adults
either continued or joined their children in the planning
and operating. Are there still those train buffs or hobbyists around? I know those little cars had their hey-day
when my older boys were younger. There was a closeby neighborhood business that set up a track in an extra
space and the boys (a few girls) could take their cars and
compete against others for a very nominal charge.
As far as the more physical activity toys I had
thought things like the pogo sticks had been replaced
by in line skates and skate boards. I know some of my
greats like the skate boards and one younger grandson
still enjoys it once in a while. I dont see many of the
ramps at ends of driveways like I did a few years ago. A
good skateboard, in line or regular roller skates, are not
in the cheap class either. You cant even go to the dime
store and by trinkets to fill the sock anymore. What happened to yo-yos, whistles and kazoos, jacks and other
little gadgets that may have only lasted a day but kept the
little ones busy while Mom did kitchen duty?
Looking way back how many of you had
wood burning sets or gave them to your children? I can
raise my hand for both. Did you have tinker toys or erector sets? How about all those real metal heavy duty Tonka toys the cars, dump trucks, car transporters, semis,
various road building implements? My boys had many
of them. Now it is hard to find the real metal ones. I do
believe that John Deere tractors and other farm machinery is still available and of the original sturdy kinds. Do
little boys (and perhaps girls) still want such items. I am
not talking about 4, 5 & 6 year olds but older ones? I can
remember my boys playing for a long time with them
and the older one may have
rescued those still around and have them at his home
out west. Now they are just that collector items.
Parents I wish you the best in finding the satisfying gifts, in line with your purses. Grandparents, we
are for the most part out of the loop or have those retirees leaner purses so we just do what we can and hope
they know it is all with love. Most of us will never be
quite with it.
Get our your comfy shoes and prepare to search
the malls or perhaps you can find the newer convenient
way of on line shopping. I have heard that is getting
popular, however many I know still like to see a product
they are purchasing and also actually like to get into that
hustle and bustle along with other shoppers in the malls.
Whatever your method I wish you happy shopping. Its
either here for you or coming very soon.
Mary Ann Young has been concentrating on
learning the business and meeting and working with residents and businesses. She has enjoyed meeting so many
fine people here.
At times she will take time off on Wednesdays
for personal needs such as medical for herself or her children. But people will always know how to reach her.
Sometimes, as needs dictate, she will handle things after
hours and on weekends.

Dayton Review
There was quite an immigration to Lost Grove
around 1868 and 1869. Times must have been very difficult
for all of them. Those already established did all possible to
help the new comers. The country and the weather seemed
to be pitted against them. In the winters they would have terrible blizzards which might last for days. The farmers had
ropes stretched between their houses and barns. When out in
a storm they held to these to reduce the danger of getting lost
in the blinding snow. One story tells that after one of these
winters that people thought they were driving where the road
was under the snow. However, when it thawed they found
they had been driving over the top of a very high gate posts.
These posts had a wire strung between them and in the fall
they had been taking loads of hay under the wire.
During other seasons there was a constant danger
of prairie fires. If a farmer saw smoke in the distance and the
wind seemed to be driving it toward his home he left whatever he was doing and hurriedly plowed and burned a fire
barrier around his buildings.
In those good ol days the farming was done on
the high spots only. Much of the land was too wet to be used.
Later tile drained all the sloughs and swamps.
Wild game was plentiful and there were even fish
in the ponds. That with what they could raise was usually
enough to feed their families and have plenty to share with
anyone who happened to stop by. It is doubtful if anyone was
ever turned away if they needed a meal or a place to sleep.
The Indians were known to ask for a hand-out at times also.
The cattle and hogs ranged at will. At first they
were not marked but too many of them went to market without the owners consent or knowledge when drivers drove the
stock through.
The farmers hauled their grain to mills to have
it ground into flour and meal. The coal was hauled from
Lehigh. Two neighbors might go together. They would leave
home at three in the morning and if they were lucky, they
would be back by midnight. They liked to go together so they
could use tow teams to pull their loads up the Lehigh hills.
Some raised cane and took it to sorghum mills to
have it made into a syrup or molasses which was used in baking as well as a spread on the table. There were two such
mills in Lost Grove. One was owned by John Frederick Peterson in Sec. 28. The other was in Sec. 35 in Lanyon and was
run by Carl Azel Carlson and him son, Carl August/.
Frank Youngdale had a horse powered machine to
make picket fence. The men would go to the timber over by
the river and cut what wood they needed and have their fencing made. Some were white washed or painted while and this
did a lot to beautify their yards as well as keep the livestock
on the outside.
The womans part was far from easy. She was usually the first up in the morning and it sometimes took a lot of
know-how to get the range going. Then she prepared a hearty
breakfast for a large family. It was up to her to preserve any
food for the winter supply. She wither canned, brined or dried
these foods. Corn and certain fruits such as apples, peaches
and pears were often dried. First she prepared the food. Then
it was spread on a clean white cloth on a roof top so it would
dry in the sun. It had to be taken in each night so it wouldnt
absorb moisture.
They raised their own meat mostly hogs. Butchering was a hectic time. Some neighbors usually came to help
with that and they were given some of the fresh meat and
sausage to take home with them. Afterward the wife would
render the fat trimmings in a big iron kettle in the yard. The
cracklings resulting from that were a delight to the children.
But the mother might be a little stingy with them. She needed
every scrap of such fat for use in making soup. It was combined in the iron kettle with lye and water and cooked to the
right consistency. Then it was ported into a wooden fame or
a shallow pan. After it had cooled it was cut into squares.
This soap was used not only for the laundry but also
as toilet soup. The washing was done by rubbing the clothing
between the knuckles or on a wash board. When the washing
machine came out it was quite a luxury and a time saving
device.

The Namakagon Trail Groomers, board and members would like to thank you for the $1,000 donation in the
memory of Marlin Benson. We dedicated a portion of trail 15 north as the Marlin Bension Memorial Trail, which
we know he rode on many occasions while snowmobiling in the area.
We know Marlin was known around the area as a very generous man. His gift of a print still hangs in the
Pioneer Bar. He brought it he said, because it reminded him of the bar and his love of snowmobiling.
The club appreciates the donation to us and will use those funds to continue maintaining and grooming the
trails. We look forward to seeing you on the trails this winter.
On Friday, November 13 at 1 pm in the Tompkins Celebration Center at Friendship Haven, the LESS
is MORE educational series focuses on Vocational
Wellness. This free wellness series is open to any adults
wishing to learn more about healthy aging.
Vocational Wellness is only one of the six dimensions of health, the others being physical, social,
emotional, spiritual, and intellectual. Balance between
these six dimensions is the key to leading a healthy lifestyle. Wellness is the active process of becoming aware
of, taking responsibility for, and making choices that directly contribute to ones well-being. It is the integration
of body, mind and spirit and the ongoing development of
ones own meaning in life.
A vocationally well person expresses his or
her values through paid and volunteer activities that are
personally rewarding and make a contribution to the well
being of the community. Vocational wellness involves
continually learning new skills and seeking challenges
that lead to personal growth and a better world. Listening for and following your vocational calling is a lifelong
process.
At the program on Friday, November 13, Dan
Kaercher, former editor of Midwest Living, and host of
Iowa Public Televisions Iowas Simple Pleasures, will
share his fascinating experiences and captivating stories.
No reservations are required at any of the LESS
is MORE programs. The educational series is co-sponsored by Friendship Haven, UnityPoint Health, Fort
Dodge, Iowa Central Community College and the Foster
Grandparent Program. For additional information, people
can contact any of the co-sponsors.
