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.

Farmers Cooperative Company, West Central


boards recommend merger, members to vote

Farmers Cooperative Company (FC) and West
Central Cooperative this week announced a unanimous
vote by their Boards of Directors to proceed with a merger vote by members of both cooperatives.

West Central facilities in 24 locations including facilities in Gowrie, Boxholm, rural Harcourt, and
Paton. Farmers Coop has 38 total facilities including
locations in Farnhamville, Gowrie, Somers, Paton,
and Dayton.

Following several months of internal and independent analysis on the potential risks and benefits associated, the Boards approved the plan of merger and
recommend a merger.

Our members own these cooperatives. We encourage each owner to read the plan of merger and proposed articles of incorporation, ask questions, and return
their ballot, said FC board president and Odebolt-area
farmer, John Scott. Every member matters.

This is a landmark decision for our memberowners, explained West Central board chair and Patonarea farmer, Sue Tronchetti. Our Boards, management

Donald Trump visits


POET near Gowrie
Thursday, Nov. 12


Donald Trump, who has led the GOP presidential polls in the nation for most of the past 3-4 months,
will be visiting the POET Biorefining near Gowrie on
Thursday, Nov. 12 from 4:30 5:30 pm.

Mr. Trump will meet with the POET leadership
team and the co-chairs of American Renewable Fuels in
Gowrie; and then he will attend a rally at Iowa Central
Community College in Fort Dodge.

Donald Trump appeared as the guest host of Saturday Night Live this past weekend. He has been the
most quoted politician this fall season.

and employee teams believe we can diversify our businesses, improve member services and protect and enhance member patronage by utilizing our scale to procure
more efficiently.

Members are invited to hear presentations
and information on the merger at one of 20 member
meetings hosted Nov. 30-Dec. 11, 2015. A list of meeting locations and member resources are available online at wccgrow15.com or fcgrow15.com.

By merging FC and West Central, members
would truly have an ownership stake in every step of the
value-added supply chain, noted West Central president
and chief executive officer, Milan Kucerak. Whether
its branded seed, faster grain assets, or value-added corn
and soybean processing, a combined cooperative is better
positioned to weather market volatility, directly access
global markets, and offer more to its owners.

We want to improve member service with
better, faster assets sooner, and by retaining and hiring
the best people, added FC chief executive officer, Jim
Chism. Most importantly, a merger allows us to maintain our commitment to serving our communities and
keep profits local.

Michelle wins in drawing. . .


By Glenn Schreiber

The Webster County Supervisors canvassed city
council election votes Monday afternoon and declared a
tie vote between Michelle Stapp and Beverly Jondle a tie,
and in a drawing from a hat they declared Michelle Stapp
the winner.

In the Nov. 3 Dayton City Council election Michelle Stapp polled 13 write-in votes and appeared to be
the victor as Beverly Johnson had 12 write-in votes. Both
candidates for write-ins for a non-contested city council
seat.

However, one ballot had the last name of Jondle
on the ballot. The Webster County Board ruled that the
intent of the voter was that the vote should count for Beverly Jondle which meant both candidates were tied at 13
apiece.

In a drawing of the hat, which is done in these
circumstances, the name of Michelle Stapp was drawn
and she was declared the winner.

Complete election results are inside. There were
other people who received write-in votes for the Dayton
City Council.

Dayton, area council


elections conclude. . .

Our November City Council elections were held
last week and the results are included in this newspaper. I
think that each city council and mayoral candidate should
be commended for wanting to serve their respective communities.

In several of our local city council elections
there werent enough candidates on the ballot for all of
the positions. But people responded by organizing writein campaigns which were successful. People involved in
this election process should also be recognized for their
contributions.

The election winners are to be congratulated,
but the people who werent elected are to be commended also. Everyone contributed to making our respective
communities stronger. We can all serve in various ways.

It is good when everyone gets involved in our
local political process. And in this regard, we thank everyone who took the time and effort to vote. We need
people who care enough to seek positions on our city
councils, and we also need people who care enough to
cast their ballots at our local polling places.

And lets also not forget to say a special thanks
to all the polling workers. They provide a great service!
And our local city clerks provide a good service by handling nomination papers.

Across parts of Iowa, and indeed across this nation we are experiencing a shortage of people who will
serve in various capacities. We need to work to together
to preserve and enhance this great way of life that we
have in rural Iowa. This is Gods country and lets all
work together to keep our communities in good shape!

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?

Hiking Trail Project...

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.

Area farmer called 911...

At Dayton Community Center. . .


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.

Lunch will be served following the service.
There will be NO service at Emanuel that day.

hosting Angel Trees
for Christmas

Some kind of special...



I believe that we all have that person or that
event or that thing that inspires us from within to make
an extra effort. The trick, though, at times, is to find and
utilize whatever it may be. I am just as guilty as anybody
when it comes to getting caught up in the grind of the
everyday stuff that has to be done, and then I feel like
I dont have the energy to be inspired. It is at this juncture that I feel compelled to reach out to whatever special
thing I can get my hands on and hang on to it until my
soul is fed once more.

You may be thinking at this point that this particular feat is easier said than done. Believe me, there
are many times when I would agree wholeheartedly with
you. However, I want you to take a moment and come
with me on this journey of finding some kind of special.

I have to admit that I have not always been a
morning person and frankly, after working nights for
five years, it is even harder, but oh the joy to wake in the
morning and hear the birds singing and to see the sun rise.
The beginning of a new day is something to be treasured.
It is a brand new chance to make a decision, to make a
difference, and to be everything that God has intended
you to be from the beginning. Wherever you are and
whatever your situation may be, you have been granted
this day. So grab a cup of whatever makes you feel good
and warm and wonderful and sit in a comfortable spot.
Take the next moment to just breathe and know that you
are some kind of special.

Through the years, I have had a plethora of jobs
and careers and I have to admit that I enjoyed some more
than others. But I will add to that that I have gained something from each and every one. I have learned skills, I
have learned appropriate behavior, and I have learned
that I have something to give the world. This is not to say
that I have anything more or better than anyone else, just
that it is unique to me. It was Abraham Lincoln who once
said, Whatever you are, be a good one. So whatever
you are working at and whatever you are getting paid, do
the best that you know how and glean from that opportunity. Share the feeling of being some kind of special.

As humans, we all face the ultimate end known
as mortality. I am going to share something with you that
I have only told a couple of people in my whole life. My
biggest fear is not dying, as I know where I am going
when I leave this earth, but disappearing. Just like anyone, I suppose, I like to think that I have made a positive
impact on this world. Above that, I am acting as an instrument for God to do his work through. I have no illusions
of grandeur; I just want to know that people will remember me as the child of God that I am. I know that I am not
alone in this thought. I have made lots of mistakes, I have
hurt people, and I have done things that I am not proud
of. At the end of the day, however, I know that I am some
kind of special because that is how God made me. He also
made you that way, too.

Go ahead, own it. You are some kind of special
because God made you that way and He will always remember us.

Nov. 12 through Dec. 11. . .

Bakken Pipeline
fighters hold rally
at Iowa Utility Board
IUB public hearing
Thursday, Nov. 12 . . .

The Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition
(BPRC) and Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement
(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
Access Pipeline, or Bakken Pipeline.

Some area farmers have opposed the pipeline
and the Boone County Board has also opposed the pipeline. However, an unknown number of local/area farmers
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.

Its that time of year again, the Angel Trees are


being displayed at all the Security Savings Bank branches.The Southeast Valley schools will be partnering with
area businesses and churches to help students and families
in this district have a happy holiday season.

Citizens in the community who would like to participate in making a childs Christmas very special may
begin picking up angels at theSecurity Savings Banks
in Dayton, Lehigh, Harcourt, Boxholm, Gowrie and Farnhamville. The angels are expected to arrive Thursday,
Nov. 12. The necessary information about a child will be
located on those angels for you to purchase gifts.

We ask that you return the unwrapped gifts
for that child (angel) no later than Friday, Dec. 11. We
ask that you return those gifts back to the bank where you

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 full-time clerical


staff member for Dayton Review
Good customer service is major goal. . .

Mary Ann Young, Gowrie, is a full-time clerical
staff member for both the Dayton Review and Gowrie
News.

She will be in Dayton twice per week for limited hours and available every day via the Dayton Review
phone number and/ore-mail.

People will be able to call the Dayton Review
and someone will always respond.

The newspapers are in a transitional process as
we have moved from two part-time clerical people to one
full-time person. Customer service and assistance will be
the major point of emphasis.

Mary Ann will start her day at 8 a.m. and work
through 4 p.m. five days per week.

Ms. Young started preparation in late July at the
Gowrie office and took a pre-planned family vacation in
early August. She worked part-time from mid-August to
about the third week of September. She was promoted to
full-time status the fourth week of September.
Her background

Mary Ann and her two children reside with her
sister and brother-in-law Kathy and Ralph Clark at their
home adjacent to the Gowrie Municipal Golf Course.

All six moved from Pennsylvania more than a
year ago. Ralph is a Process Control Engineer at Georgia
Pacific in Fort Dodge and Kathy is a stay at home mom
who home-schools her son Dallas, 12, who also attends
Alpha Omega Academy on-line.

Mary Ann was a Commercial Loan Processor
for Northwest Savings Bank in Pennsylvania for many
years. In her spare time she enjoys reading, crocheting,
and spending time with family.

Her daughter Shannon, 23, is a senior with Bethel University and is completing her Bachelors Degree in
criminal justice. Amber, 19, will begin college and hopes
to eventually become a Forensic Sketch Artist.

We all like the Gowrie-Dayton area and

couldnt imagine living elsewhere, said Mary Ann with


conviction. We are all originally from Clearfield County Pennsylvania.

Good customer service


is a primary goal. . .



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.

Augustino Semprini, Lehigh, came


over to Iowa from Italy in 1913
Worked at the Lehigh tile plant for more than 50 years...
By Katie Neal

Editors Note: This piece was written in 2006
when Neal was in her junior year at Jefferson-Scranton (now Greene County) High School. This is also
Part 2 of a two part series.

On the ship ride over, all the Italians had to stay
in the bottom deck where they received one gallon of
wine every day with all amount of low quality food.

My great-grandfather Augustino was eight years
old when he arrived in America, and since he was little
and adorable, he was allowed to go above the bottom
deck and run around the ship.

The upper deck of the ship was where the richer
people stayed, and when they saw little Augustino, they
would give him some of their better food and possibly a
little wine.

Unlike the majority of immigrants, the Semprinis arrived in America through Philadelphia. When they
arrived, they were known as W.O.P.s, meaning without
papers.

They were required to wear a sign around their
neck that read this. But they didnt understand because
they couldnt read English. Since Joe wasnt able to pay
for all of them, Augustino and Seconda (who was ten at
the time) pretended to be twins to get two tickets for the
price of one.

Finally, all of the Semprini family settled in
Lehigh. After they arrived in Lehigh, Joe and Angelo had
two more children.

They were not as creative named the next two
children as they were the first three.

The first child they had was Gina. Then, they
had a later in life child named Jim, who was 13 years
older than my Grandpa Ted.

Augustino went to school in Lehigh until he was
12 years old.

Great Grandpa had to quit school to start working at the tile plant until it closed when he was 18.

He never saw the money from this job, except
for the 25 cents his father would let him keep every week.
Joe would try to treat his family whenever he could.

He brought home bananas and chocolate, and he
was angry when none of his children were eating them.
Angela then reminded Joe that they had never seen a banana or chocolate before.

Augustino got another job in a tile plant shortly
after his first job, and worked in this plant for more than
50 years.

This was a possible reason for his partial blind-

ness in his later years.



Within those 52 years, Great Grandpa met
Springfield, Ill. Native Mona Del Morton. They were
married on Aug. 12, 1926.

Five years later, the greatest thing in the world
came to be. My grandfather Theodore Michael Semprini
was born.

After Grandpa Ted was born, four more children
were born: Ilene, Larry, Jack and Linda.

In 1939, Grand Grandpa August received his
citizenship papers and no longer considered an Italian
W.O.P. Throughout the years, August quickly picked up
English.

Grandpa recalled that through the years, August
and his sisters used to speak Italian to each other all of the
time.

However, it was slang Italian because thats all
they spoke in the part of Italy they resided before arriving
in America.

They stopped speaking the language when Great
Grandpa didnt think it was appropriate to speak Italian
during World War II.

It made me sad that I never got to hear Great
Grandpa speak Italian, save for the occasional swear
word.

I loved my great grandfather Augustino very
much. My great grandfather died when he was 94, when
I was in third grade.

I used to always ride my little red bike down
to the nursing home in Dayton, where my grandparents
lived at the time.

I tried to go visit him whenever I could. When I
got there, I would sit next to him instead of sitting on his
lap because I was bigger than I was back when he would
sing to me, and he was also more fragile.

Whenever I visited, he would tell me stories,
even though I couldnt understand a few of them, because
after a while he would forget to put his teeth back in.

I never cared for that fault because I enjoyed sitting next to him.

He would always give me little butterscotch
candies whenever I came. Hes the reason that I have an
obsession for butterscotch.

To this day, every time I eat a Werthers butterscotch candy, I think of my Great Grandpa Augustino
and his stories and of his voice singing in my ear K-KK-Katie, beautiful Katie.

Dayton Lions sponsor


Blue Mound Turkey
Dinner on Nov. 22



The tradition continues, along with some pretty
good turkey.

The Dayton Lions will sponsor the Blue Mound
Turkey Dinner from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov.
22 at the Dayton Community Center.

Admission for Adults is $12, while kids under
13 are $5. Preschool eats for free at the event.

Hiking Trail Project...



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.

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?

Dayton Review

A glimpse into Pioneer Life in Lehigh, Lost Grove


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.

Prairie Valley School Board seeks


support for Instructional Support Levy
Funds pay for teacher salaries, textbooks. . .
By Jill Viles

The Prairie Valley School Board met the evening of October 21st. Initially, the board discussed the
Instructional Support Levy and welcomed questions and
comments from the public. Following this special session, the board held a regular board meeting to discuss
other matters.
The Instructional Support Levy is a local source
of funding, first established in the 1990s, that allows districts to direct revenue from income and property taxes
into the general fund for the district. This funding may
be used for any type of instructional supplies; however,
contributions from the Instructional Support Levy may
not exceed 10 percent of the educational budget.
At the September meeting, the school board
agreed to place a notice in local papers to advise residents
they would welcome public input on this issue in a special public session in advance of the regular meeting. If
the levy passes, it will go into effect within 28 days.
A question often asked is: Why are we funding
this locally instead of asking for more state aid? offered
superintendent, Lois Irwin. The simple answer is that
we cant ask for more state aid.
Lois suggests that this autonomy in terms
of funding serves a useful purpose for the district. The
important thing is that we can decide how the money is
spent. Lois adds that this levy is different than the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) voters recently approved.
Is this money we rely on? questioned board
president, Shannon Miller.

Irwin offered an emphatic, yes, and explained
that the instructional Support Levy provides much of
the day to day funding including such intrinsic needs as
teacher salaries, and textbooks, etc. If the taxpayers do
not pass this levy, the district will have to make $330,000
in cuts for the 2016-2017 academic year.

Is there any state aid mixed in with this? inquired John Field.

Lois Irwin explained that in previous years state
aid has been mixed in with this, but it has not been in
recent years.

Board member, Jim Carlson, inquired if the
board has a say in what percentage comes from income
tax vs. what is derived from property taxes. He suggested the proportions may hit one portion of the population more adversely than the other and emphasized there
should be a say in how these taxes are apportioned. Lois
Irwin further investigated the issue and announced the
proportions of property vs. income tax could by determined on an annual basis.

As expected, the board did vote unanimously to
go forward with the Instructional Support Levy.

Following this, a perusal of the budget was explored.

All in all, the budget has made a really big rebound, explained board secretary, Lisa Willardson.

High school principal, Jim Henrich, noted the
district is paying for textbooks for students taking college
courses. He suggested that the district may cut spending by asking students to pay for these textbooks on their
own, and he noted that they are available at a substantially reduced cost as compared to the private market.
Henrich emphasized that not all would be required to pay
and eligibility would be determined using the same pa-

rameters as those participating in the free and reduced


lunch program.

In startling news, it was reported that the district
incurred some expense in dealing with a thirty foot sink
hole in the schools parking lot. Fortunately, this happened over a weekend, and no one was injured. It was
explained this is the site of a well, and steps are being
taken to ensure the safety of students and staff.

In other news, it was announced that Christy
Lautner has been hired as an associate at the elementary
building. She will also serve as a bus driver. She had
been filling in for Lisa Peterson as a substitute, but now
she will be hired on permanently.

The Scholastic Book Fair has been a tremendous
success, and the efforts of Margo Shirbroun were given
special commendation. Apparently, representatives from
Scholastic were absolutely stunned by Shirbrouns efforts, and she was presented with an award from Scholastic. I dont see this other places I go, suggested one
Scholastic rep.

She {Shirbroun] goes so far and above what is
expected of her, said elementary principal, Jim Duncan.
We get a lot of comments from parents and visitors.

Duncan went on to explain that Shirbroun has
a keen eye for detail. He says her displays include great
detail as well as tactile elements. He couldnt help pointing out the Green Bay Packers emblem on one of this
years book monsters. Gotta love her good taste, said
Duncan.

Margo cares about our school and our kids and
it shows, emphasized Duncan.

Duncan advised the board that students in 2nd
through 4th grade are taking assessments in math and
reading, and 4th graders are also assessed in science.

Duncan reported that firefighters also visited the
elementary building. They talked to classrooms and enjoyed perceptive questions from the young audience.

What happens if you have a tornado and a fire
at the same time? inquired TK student, Weslyn Urban.
Do you go to the basement or run outside?

Well have to get back to you on that one, said
of the firefighters. I believe well need to check with the
chief.

District wide needs assessments have been offered to parents in the district. Those attending conferences had a chance to complete them in a computer classroom, but others are taking advantage of the opportunity
to complete the work on their own computer.

In other news, students will have the opportunity to receive flu shots as well as eye exams.

Webster County Ice Breakers club donate $1,000...


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.

Vocational Wellness topic


at free adult session
for Webster County seniors


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.
