Trout released
Saturday, Jan. 23,
at Moorland Pond

Wednesday, January 6, 2016

daytonreview@lvcta.com

In Webster County. . .

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will
release trout in seven locations this winter in areas that
would not support them during warmer months.

Trout will be released Saturday, Jan. 23, at
Moorland Pond near Moorland in Webster County.

The popular program is supported by the sales
of the trout fee. Anglers need a valid fishing license and
pay the trout fee to fish for or possess trout. The daily
limit is five trout per licensed angler with a possession
limit of 10.

A family friendly event is paired with the stocking to help anglers have success and fun while fishing.

Children age 15 or younger can fish for trout
with a properly licensed adult, but they must limit their
catch to one daily limit. The child can purchase a trout
fee which will allow them to catch their own limit.

Winter stocking events are based on favorable
weather conditions.

Dayton Band, Mourning Glory, elected

to Iowa Rockn Roll Hall of Fame
Started in Dayton in 1971. . .

The Mourning Glory Rock Band, founded and based in
Dayton, Iowa in the 1970s, has been elected to the Iowa Rock n
Roll Hall of Fame.

The members of the band, all of whom grew up in Dayton, are Don Myers, son of Bill and Margaret Peg Myers; Joe
LeValley, son of Jack and Pat LeValley; Roger Peterson, son of
Pastor Delpho and Phyllis Peterson; Mark Plahn, son of Gordon
and Shirley Plahn.

The band, along with several other honorees, officially
will be inducted into the Iowa Rock n Roll Hall of Fame on the
afternoon of Sunday, September 4, 2016, at the Sami Bedell Center for the Performing Arts in Spirit Lake, Iowa.

That evening, the inductees, including Mourning Glory,
will perform at a concert in the Roof Garden Ballroom in Arnolds
Park, Iowa. These activities are part of the 2016 IRRMA Hall of
Fame Induction Spectacular weekend September 2-4. The Iowa
Rock n Roll Music Association is entering its 20th induction
year.

Mourning Glory bass player, Mark Plahn, said, I was
honored to play with three great musicians during my years with
Mourning Glory. I want to thank the IRRMA Board of Directors
for this tremendous recognition.

Drummer Joe LeValley agreed and added, We are
very excited to have the opportunity to perform together again.
While some of us of continued to perform in various configurations and in other groups, this will be the first time in years the
original band will have a chance to play a set of music together.
We hope a lot of our friends and family members will be able to
join us in the Iowa Great Lakes are for a weekend of fun.

Mourning Glory was a popular group in the early 1970s,
performing steadily in ballrooms, nightclubs, colleges and high
schools throughout Iowa and in Minnesota and South Dakota.

The band performed music from a variety of rock
groups, ranging from popular bands such as The Beatles and The
Rolling Stones, to lesser-known groups such as The Nazz. The
band also performed original songs composed by guitarist Don
Myers.

The group was the first ever to record at Westministr
Sound in Otho, Iowa (now Juniors Motel Recording Studio).

While in Dayton, the band rehearsed most weeknights
in a small building on the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Blanchet,
whose son Bob was a good friend of the band members.

Young people from Dayton and other surrounding
towns often stopped to enjoy the music.

The Blanchets accepted the nightly traffic and noise on
their farm for three years, never charging the band for rent or utilities. Members of the band still cite this generosity today as a great
example of the exceptional support they received from the people
of Dayton.

Keyboardist Roger Peterson commented, Dayton was
a fabulous place for me to grow up in the 1960s and 70s. It also
was the primary place I cut my keyboard teeth, honing my skills
on classical piano, hymn-playing pipe organ, and a plethora of
then-oversized synthesizers and electronic keyboards.

It is where I met Don, Joe and Mark and where, together, we formed Mourning Glory. I dont miss the 4 a.m. road trips
home in time to play piano at church, but I do miss making music
with these guys. I count it a blessing from the Lord to do yet another final performance.

Today, Roger Peterson lives in Orlando, Fla.; Don Myers lives in Madison, Wis.; Mark Plahn lives in Des Moines, Iowa;
and Joe LeValley lives in Waukee, Iowa.

Webster County has much higher rate

of youth drinking than state average
County gets grant, youth drinking meeting Jan. 12. . .

A grant secured for Webster County on youth
drinking (ages 12-20) will be discussed Tuesday, Jan.
12, from 4-6 p.m. at Community and Family Resources,
1506 31st Ave. North, Fort Dodge.

Webster County was identified as one of 12
Iowa Counties as having higher than average alcohol use
rates according to an Iowa Youth Survey.

The grant is funded for five years and there is a
goal to reduce alcohol and binge drinking among underage Iowa youth in Webster County.

Community and Family Resources (CFR), as
the Comprehensive Substance Abuse Prevention service
provider for Webster County, has received the Iowa Partnership for Success (IPFS) grant, to help reduce underage
drinking and youth binge drinking (ages 12 to 20).

This is a five year grant, ending September 29,
2019, through the Iowa Department of Public Health
funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance
Abuse Prevention (CSAP). Webster County received
this grant due to being identified as one of 20 counties

meeting the highest need criterion through epidemiological data.

According to the 2012 Iowa Youth Survey,
Webster County rates are often nearly double that of the
State, on questions pertaining to underage alcohol use
and binge drinking.

Responses for the following questions demonstrate that large numbers of youth in Webster County are
engaging in the use of alcohol. Webster County is equal
to, or higher than, the State rate for nearly all age categories for the question, How old were you (if ever) when
you drank (more than a few sips) of alcohol (beer, wine
or liquor)?

In response to the question In the past 30 days,
have you had at least one drink of alcohol (glass, bottle,
or can of beer, glass of wine, liquor, or mixed drink)?
Students as young as 8th grade reported significantly
higher rates than the State, 12% and 7% respectively;
again we see a large increase for the 11th graders with

Dayton Review

Robert William Bornholt, 60

The train derailment didnt result in any injuries in Ogden.

Union Pacific train derails in Ogden Dec. 28

Railroad track crossings were blocked Monday,
Dec. 28, after a train car derailment in Ogden south of
Dayton.

Union Pacific officials reported a train car derailed about 11:30 a.m. and was drug through the town,
ripping up the crossings.

10 second rule, Roger Brown,

Better Dayton Board, park routine

This special column was written in 2010 and
includes two paragraphs near the back on Roger
Brown who was murdered in late September, 2015.

One of my new roles at the Dayton Review has
been taking Amanda Schwerings children to the school
park, Oak Park, or Skillet Creek for a little fun during
our work days. This has really worked out great for me,
because Im assured that Im getting a little exercise and
Ive made it part of my routine. And I think the children
have enjoyed it a little also.

On Friday afternoon it was sunny, but very humid. I took Jonathon (Amandas youngest child) and Natasha (neighbor girl) to the school park. Dillon and Chelsea were at camp that week and Randy, the oldest, was on
his own. It was muggy and also muddy on the grounds,
since there had been heavy rain that morning. Its amazing the mud that Jonathon collected in just a few minutes.

We didnt stay at the school park very long,
walking back to the office. Jonathons mud-riddensandals were removed and we went to Skillet Creek. Because
of heavy rains, the creek was murky, very fast, and also
high. It was a high humidity day and conditions werent
the best for doing things outside, but it was still fun. We
marched back to the office-- where Amanda works and
its my base for youth excursions. (small joke). Amanda
usually is done at 3 p.m. on Fridays, so she took along the
muddy items and Jonathon and Natasha.

I needed to cool off, so I walked over to Community Grocery. The soft serve was chocolate, so I had
a chocolate cone. I was thirsty, and I walked back to the
coffee shop with my cone, licking it all the way. The
Better Dayton Board was there, sitting around the table
sipping coffee. I sat down with a glass of water and my
cone.

By this time the soft serve was dripping a little
too fast. Board members were giving me all their expert advice.....Lick around the edges. . .Get a spoon. . .
. .Get a napkin. . .Open your mouth wider . . .swallow
faster and so forth. It was truly helpful advice.

Daryl Haub tossed over a spoon, which bounced
off the table onto the floor. I retrieved the spoon, put it on
the table. The spoon survived the 10 second rule, but I
didnt observe this very cherished custom. As explained
by Harold Rentschler, if a spoon or piece of silverware is
dropped on the floor and is recovered within 10 seconds,
it is still good and can be used. Naturally, the group
keeps very accurate time of these spills. We could really
use this group in the Gulf.

Daryl wanted his spoon back, Don Grow passed
it to him. Daryl put some sugar in his coffee, stirred his
coffee with the spoon, and all is well in Dayton. The hot
coffee sanitized the spoon. Its always fun to attend these
board meetings because there are mini press conferences and everyone can be the subject of some pun or friendly board humor, including Don Grow. I had to vouch for

At least four crossings in Ogden were damaged.

The train was parked east of Ogden early last
week. Signs and barricades have been placed at the crossings.

No injuries were reported.

Don, noting that as Legion Commander he has the Firing

Squad behind him.

But they cant shoot straight, said Dick Sonquist. Harold offered, Maybe they should use the guns
that project a flag like bang when they are fired. Everyone laughed, including Don of course. Jerry Blair and
Chuck Danielson offered their advice too. Jerry reminds
me that his sister Donna is married to Daryl, and so often
I forget, or dont know, how people are related in our
area. Ah, the class of 57 ( D & D), had its dream, and
they are living it every day. Thats a lot of Ds by the
way....Daryl, Donna, Dayton, Dream.

Emory Hansen was also in attendance that afternoon. Its quite a group. The women are always at another table dealing with matters of all sorts. On Wednesday of last week I attended the City Council meeting. The
council was meeting with the engineer on the water main
project, and progress is being made, but there are also
big problems. It was an interesting dialogue, but several
times I found myself getting up, and walking outside
where it was much cooler and pleasant. Outside I talked
with Pam Constable, who has purchased the former Gaylord Carlson building downtown. Her friend will have an
auto repair business in back and she will have clothes/
miscellaneous consignment business in front. As we talked, Roger Brown approached us.

Roger is well known in Dayton and he has contributed to our community in many ways. He has done a
lot of small repair/maintenance jobs over the years and
hes part of the fabric of our small town life. We all know
him, value him, and appreciate his presence here.

Roger is upset because he has been getting a bill
from the city for sewer and water and electricity. He lives
in a small camper on the edge of town. I dont use water
or sewer, he explains. He often dines with Dennis Esperson (and Jennifer), and he often uses Oak Park facilities. He has a very small camper, and he doesnt really
have garbage either. His needs are small, but he got a bill
from the city he doesnt think is fair. I promised Roger I
would check it out this week. The city has its job to do, of
course, so well see what can be worked out.

In general, life is good here in Dayton. We have
a very good council, and other boards are working on
problems.

successful ministry in Eastern Europe with Greater Europe Mission, Gene and Inga have been reappointed
to Sweden. According to the World Research Center,
Swedes are the worlds least responsive people to the
Gospel.

From Ume, Sweden, Gene and Inga Whitehead
will focus on learning the Swedish language while assisting the indigenous church in renewal and in implementing disciple-making efforts. In the words of one Swedish
leader, The Swedish church has already collapsed and
were in need of foreign workers to bring a boldness for
the Gospel and a doctrinal conviction the Swedish church
no longer has.

To accomplish this, Gene and Inga have been
praying for connections with new, strategic financial and
prayer partners among believers and churches in North
American that have the desire to partner in Kingdom
building work with the Nordic church.

Our evening together will consist of a presentation by the Whiteheads, a meal of traditional Swedish
fare and great conversation. Gene and Inga will be sharing the vision God has given them of being a part of a
new revival in Sweden and also how those in attendance

Iowa Utilities Board expected to make

decision on oil pipeline in February

Proposed project would run through Webster County. . .

The Iowa Utilities Board concluded its proceedings on a state permit to construct a crude oil pipeline
through 18 Iowa counties, although a final decision isnt
expected until at least early February.

The Bakken pipeline, if approved, would be
constructed in Webster County, one of the 18 counties.

The three-member state panel finished hearings
on the proposed Dakota Access pipeline in Boone. Iowa
law does not set a deadline for the board to make a decision, and the board and its staff are currently reviewing
all the evidence received in the case.

More than 200 people testified at a public hear-

ISU Extension plans to

holdCrop Advantage
Series meeting
Wednesday, Jan. 20...

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will hold a Crop Advantage Series meeting in Fort
Dodge, Iowa on Jan. 20, 2016, at the Best Western Starlite Village Inn from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration will
begin at 8:15 a.m. Angie Rieck-Hinz and Mark Johnson,
extension field agronomists with Iowa State University
Extension and Outreach, will host the meeting.

ISU Extension and Outreach will present the
latest crop production research and information for the
upcoming growing seasons, said Angie Rieck-Hinz.
Each location features key statewide topics in addition
to a program developed by your local ISU field agronomists for north central Iowa.

Keynote speakers Chad Hart, Extension economist; Erin Hodgson, Extension entomologist; and Mahdi
Al-Kaisi, Extension soil management specialist, will discuss crop market outlook, corn rootworm management
and soil health.

Jamie Benning and Liz Juchems, will lead the
discussion on economic benefits of cover crops; Bob
Hartlzer will explain weed management strategies, and
Antonio Mallarino will outline a plan to evaluate soil fertility inputs with tight crop production margins.

Chad Hart, will wrap up the day talking about
managing margins in 2016.

ing on the pipeline project in November. The board then

conducted an evidentiary hearing (akin to a trial) at
which dozens of witnesses, including pipeline officials
and Iowa farmers who own land along the route, testified under oath. Lawyers and others involved in the case
were then allowed to file written arguments that will be
reviewed by the board.

The utilities board may schedule a public meeting to discuss its decision, or it may simply issue a written
decision.

The pipeline project would cost $3.8 billion.
The project is being proposed by Dakota Access LLC, a
unit of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners. It would
transport up to 570,000 barrels of light sweet crude oil
daily from North Dakotas Bakken pil patch through
South Dakota and Iowa to a distribution hub at Patoka,
Ill.

The oil could be transferred to railroad tank cars
or linked to another pipeline for shipment to refineries in
the Gulf Coast area.
Some farmers support
project, others oppose it

Solid support was voiced by union construction
workers who would help build the pipeline, and by Iowa
business interests who see the project as contributing
to the nations energy independence and a robust state
economy. There were farmers who said transporting oil
by pipeline would help ease congestion on railroads, expediting shipments of Midwest grain at harvest.

Several farmers along the route were opposed to
the pipeline passing through their land. They expressed
fear about damage to agricultural drainage lines and reduced crop yields. Many farmers also strongly objected
to eminent domain being authorized to gain easements
for the pipeline route.

Environmentalists were also opposed to the
pipelline, expressing worries about pipeline spills and
objecting to developing infrastructure to transport fossil
fuels. The Meskwaki Indian tribe also expressed their
opposition to the project.
Corps of Engineers must
approve; DNR reviews pipeline


The project must comply with requirements of
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. South Dakota officials have already approved the pipeline project, while
requests to proceed are pending in other states.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is
reviewing the environmental permit application and expects to make a decision later this winter. The public input will be considered.

According to one unofficial report, eminent domain would be involved in 25% of Iowa farmers owning
land needed for the pipeline.

If you are like me you probably saw your share
of Christmas movies during the days prior to the holiday,
many of which were re-runs and most of them were the
same story, just a slightly different twist and cast of
characters. At least they had different names and might
be in a city other than New York , L.A. or fictitious versions. Many have snow scenes and a busy urban shopping area. Amidst all the crowding and noise and people
bumping into one another is a Santa ringing a bell trying
to solicit funds for his collection pot or kettle. This is
something I dont recall seeing here in Des Moines or at
least for a long time. Does anyone else remember The
Volunteers of America?

They are the ones with the Santa collectors. Salvation Army uses ordinary volunteers and has been at
it for a long, long time too. In my research the Volunteers are still very active in helping the down trodden
too but apparently operate more like a regular business
now. I dont recall the simple bell ringer kettle people
being portrayed in any movie. Perhaps the Santa thing is
more colorful and non-sectarian or the producers dont
want to appear to be supporting a particular denomination. Who knows? Ah, how something current can drag
those memories to the surface.

This year continued with more memories being made. Suddenly it was Christmas Eve and we had a
White Christmas after all. It was only a skiff compared
to the counties up Boxholm, Dayton, Gowrie way and
beyond but it was white. The shopping and wrapping had
been done, the Christmas meals planned -- at least we
hoped all was done. I talked on the phone with son number three, Rex, who had missed our big family gathering
due to be called to make a run in his choo choo train.
We exchanged greetings and a promise to get together in
the next day or so. He would be spending Christmas with
his family. After having celebrated the BIG family get
together the previous weekend, my youngest daughter,
Sally, and I decided to go to the 6:00 Christmas Eve candlelight service and thus not have to rush the family time
at her house with her and Ricks family of three daughters and spouses and four grandchildren. It turned out to
be chaotic fun with eating, talking, laughing, interacting
with the kids, especially the little ones, four to nine, eating, laughing, wading through the ripped off paper and
mutilated boxes, eating. What a wonderful time. The

War in Iraq changed me;

Jr. 170 pounder Kaelan Lundberg(16-4) won his
first tournament title of his career in fashion by also pinning his way through the Roland Story Invite tournament
on Dec. 19. Photo by Emilea Lundberg.

S A R A

Im not really the type of person to get hung
up on dates but January 3rd is difficult. On January 3rd,
2008, after already spending 28 years on this planet, I
became a very different person. I watched my best friend
and battle buddy, Tom Casey, fall down to a sniper bullet.

I was in a vehicle with a mounted machine gun.
The team leader, Major Olmsted, was lying motionless
in the field in front of us. Will Beaver was above me on
the gun bleeding from a bullet wound to his face. He still
managed to to keep the snipers heads down with sustained fire.

I passed him up a gauze pack to hold against his
cheek. He jumped down quickly to get on our communication computer and called for medical evacuation.

Our interpreter was pinned down outside. He ran
under sniper fire to the Iraqi Army vehicle we had been
escorting and moved them to pick up Andy Olmsted. It
was one of the bravest things Ive ever witnessed. We
circled our gun trucks around Tom. Tom was a tall and
strong man. He was not easy to load into the truck.

I had tunnel vision as we drove away from the
battlefield. After traveling a few miles, a helicopter got
to us and picked up Andy. Will got out and jumped in
the bird. Another teammate replaced Will in my truck
and told me that Andys body was cold when they loaded
him.

That night a helicopter landed in the middle of
a base-wide ceremony. I escorted Tom on a stretcher underneath an American flag. The ride to Balad was maudlin and long. When we landed I saluted Tom one last time
and hitchhiked to the field hospital to see Will.

Will smiled when I came in. His face was swollen and wrapped in foam tape. We joked around a little
bit until I knew he was in good spirits. I then thanked him
for keeping us alive and told him he is the bravest man
Ive ever met. I left his room and wouldnt see him again
until months later when we returned to Fort Riley and the
division pinned a Silver Star to his chest.

service had been so beautiful with the telling of the story, the childrens message with so many gathered on the
steps near the altar, singing many familiar hymns, especially the lump in the throat ones, Let There Be Peace,
Silent Night and Pastor singing Shalom. For a little
while one could put aside any worries, hurts, sadness and
relax in the glory of the moments. Then for our family
to top it off with the joy of the laughter and love and the
screams and excitement of little ones was, to use a familiar clich WONDERFUL!

Christmas morning dawned in Des Moines with
gray skies and yet the Son was shining. There were some
phone calls exchanged and I found time to relax. I talked
by phone to my son, John, in Washington and learned of
his plans and got family news. Meanwhile at my oldest
daughter, Terrys home, there was the usual chaos and
more to come. I was told their meal would be mid to late
afternoon and that was fine with me. A phone call from
Terry advised that the nearby parking areas in her condo
complex were overflowing and she would pick me up.
On schedule I gathered my purse and satchel with goodies and we were off. I was right! Chaos but happy chaos
with munchies laid out and I added more. I got to meet
the little girl, eight year old Dulce, who will be my great
granddaughter Devins sister in law, and Devin and Reubens mini white poodle, Chewy. After presents were unwrapped Chewy was prancing around in his new sweater
just like the other sweater recipients. Of course there was
too much food but few protests to that fact and again it
was laughter, eating, talking, hugging, eating, laughing,
picture taking, eating, laughter. It was a great time and
made special before the meal for all to hold hands and
give thanks to God for having sent His Son so we could
and should celebrate this day. We did not forget in all our
revelry why we were so privileged to have such a family
time. I was happy to go to all the festivities but admittedly, rather happy to get back to the solitude of my easy
chair to relax a bit before bedtime.

So, this is the 2015 Christmas Saga of a very
blessed Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma. I hope
the memories of these times will go into my childrens,
grandchildrens and great grandchildrens memory
banks. I also hope those reading this will have had some
of that blessedness also. And now I wish one and all a
great 2016.

I am glad we live in a country where those experiences are rare. Before that day I had been an affable
young military officer looking to prove myself in combat.
After that day I wanted nothing more than to ensure my
son would never have to experience the same thing.

I became mortal. I became serious. I had
watched my friends give their lives for something greater
than themselves. I was proud to have known them and I
was sad to have lost them.

I dont think about Iraq every day but its
changed who I am everyday. It made it more important
to me to follow the campsite rule. Leave it better than
you found it.

I am very worried about the direction of our
county. In one month, Iowa has a very important duty to
this nation. We will select the finalists that will lead our
nation for the next decade. Please participate. Dont just
caucus. Do your homework. Find the bold leader that will
actually make a difference. Recruit supporters and help
them get elected.

On January 20, 2017 a new president will take
the oath of office. Lets elect one that we know honors
and understands the sacrifices of our nation. One who has
the forethought to actually prioritize our children against
the political expediency of right now. One who will leave
our nation better than they found it. Find your caucus

to the 2015

for a relaxing
night out for the

McCrary Rost Clinic recently installed new radiology equipment at its Gowrie location.

The new equipment replaces a machine that was
purchased in the 1980s, for which updates were no longer
available.

Starting in July, the radiology department began
looking at equipment that would fit the needs at the clinic.

The machine they chose has several benefits.
Physically, it fits into the space the clinic provides. It

provides better image quality which leads to more accurate readings. It accommodates patients of all sizes.

Looking to the future, it can also be upgraded to
fully digital. Currently, it is considered partially digital
because images are burned to cassettes.

Radiology technologist Jessica McGuire is excited about the increased power the machine utitilizes.
Were now able to offer a wider range of exams. Previously, we couldnt take images of thicker parts of the
body, like the back and abdomen. Now we can do that
with even safer radiation levels.

Patients receiving x-rays will see a remodeled
room as well. Jenni King, radiology technologist at Stewart Memorial Community Hospital (SMCH) who managed the project, explains, We removed a wall to expand
the space into our old darkroom thats no longer used to
expose images. Electrical was upgraded and the carpet
will soon be replaced.

Improving the patient experience made this an
important priority for SMCH. King comments, Because
the old equipment could no longer be serviced, we knew
that when it stopped working, it would take three to six
months to replace it.

During which time, patients in the community
would have had to drive a distance to have x-rays taken.
We decided to be proactive and replace the equipment
before there was a problem.

Getting the new equipment will be better for patient convenience since they wont have to leave town.
It will improve care and lead to faster treatments since
there will be reduced wait time for image results.
Our number one goal is provide our patients with the best
possible experience.

Lehigh Sewer pipe and Tile company starts in 1907

Discovery of coal in the area brought in influx
of miners from states as far away as Pennsylvania, it was
a group of miners from this state who suggested that the
two villages of Vesper and Lackawanna unite under the
name of Lehigh and then incorporate. A brick factory was
built here in the early days to take advantage of the plentiful supply of coal for heating the kilns and also the excellent quality of the clay. Later the Lehigh Sewer pipe and
Tile company was constructed in 1907 and operated until
recent years.

The firm was purchased in 1964 and was then
operated as the W. S. Dickey Manufacturing Company.
Principal products are clay sewer pipe and flue liners for
chimneys.

Standing well up the hill east of the Des Moines
River is a large brick house which has been a community
landmark since the turn of the century. It was owned by
the Steven Rhodes family. Mr. Rhodes was the director of
Blanden Gallery in Fort Dodge.

It was built by George Wellington Post who
came to Lehigh in 1872. He was born in 1845 in New
York and migrated to Lehigh. Construction of this elegant
house was begun in 1899 and was completed in 1901.
The brick came from the former Corey Brick and Tile
Co. of Lehigh. Some of the stone over the windows and
doors was shipped out from Pennsylvania. There were
parquet floors and ornate balustrades and much intricate
woodwork. Despite all these features the house is said
to have cost only $4,000.00. The sad part of this story is

that George Post died September 17, 1900 at the age of

55 years and never did have the pleasure of living in his
Dream House. Emma Post and her son Archie moved
into the house in 1901. George and Emma Posts tow
great-grandsons, Richard and John Swanson are married
and are farming the original Post farm located east of
Lehigh.

Webster Township is historic with old history
but will also be important with the new. In 1969 the State
Conservation Commission started buying land to establish a 1000 acre state park. The site is 5 miles directly
east of Lehigh. At the time of this writing no construction has been started. It is proposed to dam Brushy Creek
to make a recreational lake for boating and swimming.
The north part is to be reserved for wild life and hunting.
There will be camper facilities, a swimming pool and a
golf course. At this time it is an improved park with a
Ranger in residence. Most of the residents of Webster
Township are in farming and there are mixed emotions
about the proposed State Park. There is some enthusiasm about recreation seekers coming into the are and the
effect it will have on their lives, land values, population
and privacy.
Vegors Cemetery

In Webster Township is an old Indian burying
ground, which was taken over by the earliest pioneers
and it is now know as Vegors Cemetery.

Here is buried Benjamin Bell (1751-1853) a
Revolutionary War soldier who served under General
George Washington.

Also nearby is a Memorial shaft to the first pioneer woman to die in what is now the county of Webster.
The inscribed on the tombstone is Lott and the date is
1849. The shaft was dedicated in September 1911. The
dedicatory address was given by Ellsworth School Superintendent, Fred Runkle, who is probably responsible
for the date of 1849. In his speech he acknowledged that
many old-timers insisted that the historic Indian raid
occurred in 1846. He, however, accepted the date of a
so-called authority as 1849. The shaft was unveiled by
Rebecca McQuire, a younger sister of Mrs. Jemina McQuire Lott, the second wife of Henry Lott.

Mrs. Huntington Lott died of exposure following the Indian raid by Chief, Two-Fingers Sidominadota, a Sisseton Sioux. The date of this raid being a
point of contention among historians for over a century.
Now my research: In retreat from the raiders a Lott son,
12 year old Milton died trying to reach the settlement in
Boone County. The date on his grave N. W. of Boone
being December of 1846. His burial was described by an
able local historian, C. S. Lucas, who was present when
the grave was marked along with some of the old pioneers who had assisted in the burial.

Webster County underage Drinking...

Dayton

Ogden

Webster Township is bounded on the west by
the town of Lehigh, north by Washington Township, east
by Hamilton County and the south border is the meandering Des Moines River. The whole township is approximately 20 square miles. The north and east portions are
flat and tillable, mostly Clarion-Webster soil, the west
and south are scenic hills and timberland inhabited by
deer, fox, squirrel, several species of wild birds and many
varieties of wild edibles.

Webster Township is the site of Vegors Cemetery which was given to the county by the Vegors family
in 1949. At that time there was a need for a place to bury
Mrs. Lott, the first white woman to die in the county. She
died from exposure after the Indians had raided the Lott
cabin. The Vegor family owned a scenic hilltop overlooking the meeting place of the Boone and Des Moines
rivers. On this hilltop were also found 5 Indian mounds
and here Mrs. Lott was buried.

In 1960, the bones of eleven prehistoric people
were discovered by State Archaeologists in a digging
near here. They were classified as Middle Woodlands-people who lived between 500 BC and 500 AD. Their
bones were buried in the Vegors Cemetery with a headstone explaining the story. Government and Department
of Interior had a ceremony with an Air Force Military
plane flying overhead. It is a scenic and historic site,
peaceful and nostalgic. This writer wonders who financed
the large spiraling marker, as part of her family had died
shortly after the raid.

On Tuesday, December 29, 2015, The American
Red Cross launched a massive relief response across multiple states in the wake of the deadly storms which have
been hammering communities across most of the country
since before the Christmas holiday.

Red Cross disaster workers have been helping
people affected by these storms since before Christmas
and will continue to help them as long as needed, said
Leslie Schaffer, Regional Executive for the Iowa Region.
We ask everyone to remember these families who have
lost everything and had their holiday celebrations tragically interrupted by giving to Red Cross Disaster Relief.
We depend on generous financial donations to provide
comfort and hope to people in need.

Several days of tornadoes, flooding and winter
storms left behind damaged homes, downed power lines
and closed highways. Red Cross and community shelters
are open in Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois,
Missouri, New Mexico and Oklahoma. The Red Cross
is also supporting families in Arkansas, Tennessee and
Mississippi due to severe weather and flooding.

More than 1,100 homes have been damaged by
storms across the affected areas and the number could
increase. Hundreds of trained Red Cross disaster workers left their loved ones and homes over the holiday and
opened shelters for those affected, providing meals, distributing comfort kits and clean-up supplies and meeting
with those affected to help them plan their next steps.

The storm is expected to continue to affect people over the next several days with flash flooding, heavy
snow, ice and freezing rain. The Red Cross urges people
in the path of these storms to get ready now. Information
about what people should do to prepare their household
for possible flooding, tornadoes, winter storms and other
weather emergencies is available at redcross.org.

The Red Cross will be helping people affected
by this storm for weeks and months to come, while at
the same time responding to other emergencies, including
helping people whose homes are destroyed by fires. The
Red Cross responds to nearly 70,000 disasters each year
in the United States the vast majority of which are home
fires.

People can help by donating to Red Cross Disaster Relief to support disasters big and small by visiting
redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or texting the
word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization
that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the
American public to perform its mission. For more information, please visit redcross.org or visit us on Twitter at
@RedCross.

Choices at Home

Increase hospice choice

and quality...

UnityPoint at Home in Fort Dodge is now offering Care Choices at Home, part of the previously announced Medicare Care Choices Model.

As part of the initial phase of hospice providers, UnityPoint at Homes Care Choices at Home will be
amongst the first in the nation to offer this model of care.

The model is significant because it allows eligible beneficiaries the option of electing to continue receiving curative services and receive supportive hospice
services at the same time.

Care Choices at Home includes eligible Medicare beneficiaries qualifying for the Medicare Hospice
benefit and dually eligible beneficiaries who qualify for
the Medicaid Hospice benefit.

We are pleased and excited to now offer our
Care Choices at Home in Fort Dodge, states Joyce Bianchi, clinical manager for UnityPoint at Home, Fort
Dodge. We are committed to providing compassionate, quality, coordinated care, partnering with the patient,
their family and their health care team. The hallmarks of
this service is to ensure patient goals and wishes are clear
through shared decision making and reflected in a wellcoordinated plan of care. Currently, fewer than half of
eligible Medicare beneficiaries use hospice care, and this
new model will provide more services and flexibility for
those coping with life-limiting illnesses and conditions.

Due to robust interest, CMS expanded the model from an originally anticipated 30 Medicare-certified
hospices to over 140 Medicare-certified hospices and extended the duration of the model from 3 to 5 years. This is
expected to enable as many as 150,000 eligible Medicare
beneficiaries with advanced cancers, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, human immunodeficiency virus/ acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who receive services from participating hospices
to experience this new option and flexibility.

As a participating hospice, UnityPoint at Homes
Care Choices at Home will provide services under the
model that are currently available under the Medicare
hospice benefit for routine home care and respite levels
of care, but cannot be separately billed under Medicare
Parts A, B, and D. Services will be available around the
clock, 365 calendar days per year and CMS will pay a
per beneficiary per month fee ranging from $200 to $400
to participating hospices when delivering these services

Dayton Review

Bird flu cases

could reappear:
Ag Secretary Vilsack
Many cases occurred
in area counties. . .

The deadly bird flu virus that devastated Iowas
poultry industry in the spring of 2015 and sent egg prices
soaring could reappear, even though no new cases have
been detected for months, according to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

There were many area bird flu cases including
cases in Pocahontas and Wright counties.

It can happen at any time, Vilsack was quoted
recently.

Its been more than six months since the last
case of avian influenza was found in a commercial flock.

But Vilsack said there are concerns that the bird
flu could reappear next spring.

Earlier this year, the disease destroyed nearly 50
million farm birds. Iowa, the nations largest egg producer, lost 31.5 million birds across 18 counties, including
about 30 million laying hens and pullets and 1.1 million
turkeys.

The virus cost the states economy $1.2 billion
through lost egg, chicken and turkey production, lost
wages and tax revenue, according to a study commissioned by the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation.

USDA and state officials struggled to quickly
dispose of dead birds in the hardest-hit areas. Some poultry operations failed to closely follow biosecurity measures intended to help curtail the spread of the disease.

Officials have studied what worked during the
outbreak and what needs improving. Biosecurity efforts have been strengthened at poultry facilities, and the
USDA has stockpiled vaccines.

The USDA spent about $1 billion on the outbreak. That included costs for surveillance, testing, cleaning, disinfecting and disposal as well as $200 million in
indemnity payments helping farmers cover their losses.

tion of many Iowa crops. Field and horticultural crops,

home gardens and plants eaten by wildlife are dependent
on bee pollination for the production of their fruits, nuts
and seeds. The economic value of honey bees as crop pollinators in Iowa has been estimated at $92 million annually.

The state of Iowa has made progress in the bird flu
outbreak. But an outbreak in 2016 in still possible.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey encouraged Iowans interested in beekeeping to consider enrolling in one of the beekeeping schools in 2016.

Beekeeping courses will run four Saturdays
in Fort Dodge from Jan. 9-30 from 9-12 p.m. at the
Webster County Extension office. To register call
YVonne at 515-835-9326 or e-mail Yvonne@iastate.
edu. The cost is singles, $35; or $45 for a family. An
advanced class is set for Saturday, Jan. 30, from 1-4
p.m. The contact information is the same.

We continue to see interest grow in bee keeping, both among hobbyist who might just have a hive or
two and commercial producers who can have 1,000s of
hives.

These courses provide an excellent opportunity
for new beekeepers or those who are interested in getting
started to learn from experienced Iowa beekeepers who
understand our seasons and environment how to successfully raise bees, Northey said.

There are currently about 4,500 beekeepers in
Iowa that manage more than 45,000 colonies of honey
bees. These honey bees produce about 4 million pounds
of honey annually, valued at over $8 million.

Honey bees are also responsible for the pollina-
