Quilts in the Valley planned for Oct. 1-2

At Lehigh Historical Society, Community Center. . .

Quilts in the Valley is planned for Saturday
October 1 from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. and Sunday October
2 from 11 a.m. till 3 p.m. located at the Lehigh Historical Society and the Lehigh Community Center. This year
there will be a wide variety of quilts with a focus on Crazy
quilting and fancy stitches. Also on display will be pincushions, antique sewing machines and sewing accessories. There will be fabrics and supplies so you can make a
sample crazy quilt block and free patterns for pincushions.
If you enjoy quilting and stitching, please come! This
event is free and open to the public.

Quilts in the Valley is an event that is all about
history and about inspiring folks to create. Its about
sharing those creative crafts, tools, quilts, and more that
celebrate our past, present and future! My brother, Doug
Linn, and I love history and all things creative. Our mother and dad encouraged us, along with our sister, Judy, to
use our talents and gifts. Quilting, sewing and crafting
was always an integral part of our lives. Our mother made
dresses for my sister Judy and me, our grandma Goldie
and Great Grandma Lillie were quilters, while the men
in the family were farming, building houses, etc. In their
later years, our mother, Mary, and dad, Melvin, enjoyed
going to auctions. They began buying quilts and sewing
related items. Those quilts and other family quilts became
the inspiration for a quilt show my brother and I planned
for the Lehigh Historical Society in 2014. We were thinking it would just be a one-time event but people enjoyed
the quilts and history so we decided to do it again in 2015.
And, we made plans for the coming years!
This year we will share a number of quilts with a focus
on crazy quilting. As a volunteer at Murphys Landing in
Shakopee, MN, a living history site set in the late 1800s, I
spent many hours demonstrating quilting to visitors. When
a fund-raising project was needed for the site, I gathered
up materials and showed volunteers how to make a crazy
quilt block. Our finished quilt raised over $2500 for the
Landing! We had so much fun making that quilt that we
began meeting regularly (our first meeting was February
of 2000) to work on crazy quilting projects. As co-founder of the Scott County Crazy Quilters (also in Shakopee),
Ill be bringing my enthusiasm for crazy quilting to Quilts

in the Valley. Everyone who visits will be able to make a

sample block! Please share the enclosed flyer with your
customers. We are a small event but any chance to quilt
and stitch is a big treat!

Events For the Ladies include: 2015 Sunbonnet
Sue and Aprons, too; 2016 Crazy Quilts and Pincushions; 2017 Nine Patch and Sampler Quilts; 2018 Patriotic
Quilts, Red, White & Blue; 2019 Embroidered/CrossStitched Quilts; 2020 Basket and Flower Quilts; 2021 Applique Quilts.

Dayton Review

One phone call prompts me

to attend 50th class reunion. . .

In May or early June I received a letter from my
high school graduating class inviting me to our 50th High
School class reunion in Ladysmith, Wisconsin.

Yes, it had indeed been 50 years and in some
ways it seems like yesterday. I put the return card on my
refrigerator, filed the paperwork to fill out in file folder X,
and just put it out of my mind.

And then a few weeks ago Terry Wedwick from
my class of 1966 called me. He wanted to know about my
intentions. Would I be coming?

It was nice to know that someone actually cared.
It was good to hear his voice. I started asking questions
and I soon discovered that Terry knew everything about
everyone in our class. Wow, he was an encyclopedia (remember that word?) of information.

I listened and talked with Terry for about 90 minutes. It was incredibly good to hear about so many of my
former classmates. And yes, I will definitely be coming to
the reunion I told Terry. He e-mailed me the forms again
(I couldnt find folder X), I completed the information the
next day, made out the check for two, and had Mary Ann
mail it for me.

Terry had some heartwarming stories about so
many people. I vowed that night that I would want to sit
next to him at the reunion and e-mailed him a letter of
thanks for updating me on so many people.

Terry had been a teacher in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and slightly more than 10 years ago he retired a little
early to return to the family farm in Ladysmith and be a
caregiver/helper for his mother.

His mother was 95 and each day Terry and his
mom walked together for two miles. They had a special
bond and in June of this year his mom passed away. She
was still living at home and she was 105 years old and
seven months. She lived at home until the day she died.

There were an even 100 students in my graduation class. Terry stated that 21 had already died and he
recited their names to me.

Judy (Messerschmidt) Roegge was a very softspoken member of our class. The daughter of a Lutheran
minister, Judy was sweet, kind, and very pleasant to everyone. In life she was married, had a family, volunteered
to help people, was an organist at church. She became
very ill. Her son was getting married in late June of this
year. He canceled the date and was married in his mothers bedroom in early June. Two weeks later Judy died.

Where has the summer gone? And Autumn

is even worse half of September is already gone. We
seem to get busier every week, almost every day. One
thing that can get us through this busy time is prayer. For
a minute lets look at the letters of the word prayer and
see if we can find some answers there. The letter P
Plan plan your schedule carefully and dont be afraid to
say no when someone asks you to do something. You
dont have to do everything! The letter R Rest get
plenty of rest. It keeps our bodies healthy Even God set
aside one day for rest. The letter A Affirm if you see
someone doing something good, tell them about it and affirm that they are doing a good job. The letter Y Youth
spend time with your children and grandchildren. Their
exuberance is contagious. The letter E Expect look
for gifts from God. The gifts may not wrapped in fancy
paper, but they will be here for our God is a generous
God. Dont forget to thank Him for your gifts. Finally
the letter the letter R Rejoice In Philippians 4:4 Paul
tells us always be full of joy in the Lord. Compare
your ?

Prayer: Lord, help us to enjoy this time in
which we plan our daily chores. Help us to put aside the
worldly things and concentrate instead on You. In Jesus
Holy Name, Amen.

Consequences are too great say protesting groups. . .

On Thursday morning of last week, members
of The Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition, including
Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, Bold Iowa,
and 100 Grannies for a Livable Future, appeared in court
for taking arrests to stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline in late August.

Following the hearing, they held a press conference and rally detailing their reasons for arrest and the
next steps in the fight to stop the Dakota Access pipeline.

The pipeline is being constructed across Iowa
including Webster County.

Today we faced the consequences of our actions to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline. We accept
these because the consequences of our inaction would be
too great, said Crystal Defatte, one of the arrestees from
Bettendorf, Iowa.

Now its President Obamas turn to act. If he
cares about the native people of this land he will stop
this pipeline from further destroying their sacred sites,
and instead honor the treaties that have been made with
them, she said. If he truly is committed to encouraging the growth of environmentally friendly energy source
industries he will direct the Army Corps of Engineering
to revoke the permits that have allowed this potential environmental disaster to be built.

Thirty were arrested on August 31 in Boone
County while blocking trucks from leaving and entering
a Dakota Access pipeline construction staging area. More
than 150 protestors attended in solidarity to stand against
the pipeline.

The people of Americas heartland should not
have to take on the risk of water and soil contamination
just so a large corporation can fatten their bottom line
with this export pipeline, said Heather Pearson of Logan, Iowa. It is all risk, no reward for Iowans.

Bold Iowa and Iowa CCI have spear-headed the
Bakken Pipeline Pledge of Resistance, which has now
been signed by 2,400 people, including nearly 600 who
have pledged to risk arrest in acts of peaceful, nonviolent
civil disobedience to stop construction of the pipeline.

Im fighting Bakken as a water protector, because our streams, rivers lakes & aquifers arent unlimited resources, said Kathy Meyer of Iowa City. There
will be a leak and it will have far reaching, devastating
consequences on our environment, our drinking water
our very lives.

A growing number of organizations, landowners and everyday citizens across the state are committed
to stopping the proposed Bakken Pipeline alongside the
Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition. Visit www.nobakken.com.

Bold Iowa is part of the national Bold Alliance,
now in five states and building new alliances to fight fossil-fuel infrastructure expansion projects and promote renewable energy. Visit www.boldnebraska.org/tag/bold-

Great fishing this fall on Iowa rivers

for walleye, bass, catfish
Many rivers in Webster County area. . .

Enjoy Iowas natural landscapes fishing Iowas
rivers and streams this fall. A unique angling challenge is
hidden around every bend.

You are never far from one of Iowas many rivers, said Greg Gelwicks, Iowa DNR interior rivers research biologist. Fall is a great time to give them a try.

Fish start to become more active as the stream
temperature drops. Look for actively feeding fish where
riffles enter pools or rocky areas, Gelwicks said. They
can sit there out of the current and wait for food to come
by.

Many predatory fish species such as catfish,
walleye, sauger and bass can be found close to natural
or manmade habitat features such as riffles, log-jams or
rock. Smaller fish including shiners and minnows are attracted to hiding and resting spaces found within habitat
features and predators feed around these features.

Small up-river segments of interior rivers can
be fantastic for walleye and smallmouth bass in early fall.
Use crankbaits and spinners to catch smallmouth bass and
crankbaits or jigs with crawlers for walleye. Try the upper Wapsipinicon River (Buchanan and Linn counties) or

upper Cedar River (Black Hawk and Bremer counties)

for smallmouth bass. The Shell Rock River (Butler and
Bremer counties) or upper Cedar Rivers (Black Hawk or
Bremer counties) are a great choice for walleye.

The Missouri and Mississippi rivers boast
some of the best flathead catfishing in the Midwest, said
Jon Christensen, DNR natural resources technician. The
Missouri Rivers swift current, rocks and snags are good
habitat and food is abundant for these predatory catfish.
Use live fish as bait; green sunfish and bullheads tend to
survive best on the hook.

Blue catfish can be found in the Missouri River
along the border, said Christensen. Several state record
fish have been caught on the Missouri River, including
the blue catfish (101 pounds) and channel catfish (38
pounds 2 ounces).

An extensive list of Iowas rivers, with information on access points and native species, is available
on the DNR website at fishing.iowadnr.gov. Check conditions before you go with the weekly Iowa Fishing Report (www.iowadnr.gov/Fishing/Fishing-Reports).

Senator Grassley
checks into EpiPen
price increases

Crappies still biting

at Don Williams Lake

Ive heard from a large number of Iowans about
EpiPen prices.

It seems everybody knows a child or even an
adult with severe allergies who rely on this life-saving
product and need to be able to afford it.

I wrote to the company that makes the product to
ask about the price increases.

The company, Mylan, committed to respond in
writing.

I look forward to receiving the written response.
Iowa parents asked me to get involved, and since I got
involved, more Iowans have contacted me to express interest in what the company says, 465 Iowans so far.

Theres a strong consumer interest in whats behind the EpiPen cost increase.

Theres also a strong taxpayer interest in seeing
how much Medicare, Medicaid and the Childrens Health
Insurance Program are paying for EpiPens.

The state of Minnesota might have overpaid for
EpiPens by $4 million in a single year under a Medicaid
rebate program.

I wrote to the Iowa Attorney General, asking
him to consider whether Iowans also overpaid. I look
forward to his response.

Getting the information and answers is something Ill continue to pursue on behalf of the people of
Iowa.

By Senator Charles Grassley

Don Williams Lake--Black Crappie - Fair: Most
fish are 8.5-9.5 inches. Slowly troll or drift 1/8 ounce jigs
tipped with minnows or small white or chartreuse twister
tails in 15-20 feet of water in the upper half of the lake.
Crappies are suspended from 5 to 10 feet down.

Hickory Grove Lake--Black Crappie - Fair:
Drift or slow troll 1/8 ounce or lighter jigs with twister
tails or minnows or 1.5 inch panfish tube jigs. Work the
mid-lake area out from the Oriole Ridge Lodge. Bluegill
- Good: Use small jigs tipped with crawler over pallet
piles in water less than 15 feet deep. Try also between the
island the beach and near buoy off the shore from the Plover Bay Shelter. Hickory Grove can produce some nice 7
to 8.5 inch bluegills.

particular building it may take a bit longer but they seem
to learn fast.

Times and opportunities within schools have
really changed since my day but yet some remain the
same. One thing that the schools and parents have to plan
for in addition to clothing, supplies, getting them there,
etc. is lunches. Do they take them or do they partake of
the school prepared ones? My many years ago I had little
choice but to take a lunch that Mom had prepared for me.
There were no hot lunch programs and I lived on a farm
or at the edge of town so home lunch was not an option.
Now that I think of it, moms had to be pretty clever to
come up with nutritious, satisfying, interesting offerings
five days a week for around nine months.

Since there was no refrigeration those meals had
to be ones that didnt invite the wrong things to grow
in them. What did we have in our sandwiches or other
offerings? Of course there was always peanut butter but
that got boring. I wasnt much of a jam/jelly person and
never cared for it combined with my peanut butter but
some veggies okay, like ground carrots. Cheese was another alternative and sometimes instead of a sandwich a
stack of crackers appeared with it in the wax paper wrappers. I remember tasting dried beef for the first time in a

mom prepared lunch. It didnt spoil and Big Jack Condon always had it in bulk in his butcher shop. Apples and
bananas did well in those lunches and if you wanted to
bother with a small jar with a tight lid, other fruit wasnt
so bad either. Our preference was always the homemade
baked items. Moms big sugar cookie folded in half with
a special raisin sauce filling was great.

It was around my last year of high school that
the lunch program came into being. If I recall correctly
they cost about fifteen cents a day and yes, apparently
had a lot of government commodities. The one thing I
remember having was something I really didnt like and
pawned off on someone who did. That was carrot salad.
It consisted of ground or shredded carrots, some kind of
mayo or other dressing and the salad spoiler raisins!
Who came up with that one? I like carrots and I like
raisins but raisins dont belong in my veggie salads with
the exception of that good broccoli salad which I am no
longer allowed in any quantity. But we survived and
life went on and continues through over the years reports
from children, grandchildren and great grandchildren
about their non-appetite appeal and hearing how much
lunchroom garbage is collected here in our Des Moines
Schools.

But, I have to give the government and school
people kudos for efforts to battle the widespread hunger that is in urban areas especially. We have sixty one
schools in Des Moines. In thirty five of them the total
student body qualifies for school lunches. Yes, every
student gets free lunch and many offer a light breakfast
program. During summer there is even a lunch program
at some of the schools if they can get to them. In those
thirty five schools there are no tickets, no questions, all
get to go to lunch. In the other schools there are quite a
few who qualify and get their tickets free. At least one
of my great granddaughters, even if she would qualify,
would still opt for lunch from home. She says the snack
packs with crackers, cheese, etc. and goodies and fruit
are much better. I remember getting reports those grade
school years ago that my son number two offered to eat
spinach and broccoli and things like that for other kids so
they could leave the table but only if they gave him a
nickel. He learned to eat such things at home.

A few times I have seen on the internet a report
of a cook, knowing food was being wasted anyway, trying to sneak at least some sort of morsel to a child who
had no ticket, at least for that day or for many days. The
employee and child both were disciplined. These reports
have not been from Iowa and Id hope not. My church
has for several years adopted one of the schools and
before school starts we have a special drive for various supplies or money with which to buy them so that
all children will have the proper tools needed for their
studies. All year long we provide peanut butter and jelly
to be put in Friday back packs for some families to assure
some sustenance over the weekend. We also may get a
request from a teacher or an administrator for some funds
to help get a child some shoes or a coat or other items.

Looking back on those years at Boxholm Consolidated I think most of us had it pretty good. We had
good times with those brown bags and gathering in the
music room for lunch, trading goodies. Things always
looked better in someone elses bag or it was just nice
to have a different pastry from someone elses mother.
My Moms big dill pickles werent bad for trading either.
Do you remember your good old school lunch days?

The ladies started the match off a little sluggish with poor
serve receive, but as the night went on, things improved.

The team served at 87% which needs to be
improved. The key in winning was strong net play and
digging up the balls from their opponents. Good luck

SV 7th, 8th graders

lose to Coop Rapids

The Southeast Valley 7th and 8th grade volleyball teams played Coon Rapids on Monday September,
12 at Coon Rapids. The 7th grade team showed great
improvement but were defeated by the Knights. Their
scores were: 18-21, 7-21, 16-18.

The 8th grade girls also showed great improvement but were also defeated by the Knights. Their scores
were: 11-21, 11-21, 15-11.

The next action for the Southeast Valley 7th and
8th graders is Thursday September, 15 at Rockwell City.
Both teams will begin playing at 4:00 P.M. in the middle
school gym.

For the third consecutive year rental rates for Iowa

farmland declined, according to results from the2016 Cash
Rental Rates for Iowa Surveyconducted by Iowa State
University Extension and Outreach.

After 15 consecutive years of rental price increases (1998-2012), prices have now gone down for three
straight years. Prices dropped by 6.5 percent in 2015 after
a five percent decrease the year before.

Cash rents are declining but not as fast as crop
prices, said Alejandro Plastina, assistant professor in economics and extension economist at Iowa State University.
Prices have dropped for cash crops by between 50 and 60
percent in the last three years and rent has gone down 15
percent. Profitability in cash rented acres will still remain
tight despite lower cash rents in 2016.

Rental rates are $230 per acre statewide, with a
dip in prices shown in all nine of the states districts. The
state average rate was $246 last year and was $270 just
three years ago. The largest drop in prices came from District 3, a $23 drop in the counties making up the northeast
corner of the state. Regions 4, 5 and 7 all saw decreases of
$20 or more as well.

Despite its drop in rental price, District 3 also
had the highest cost in the state for the second consecutive
year, averaging $273 per acre.

The district with the lowest cost per acre, also
saw the smallest drop in rental price. Cost per acre in District 8 (south central Iowa) went down just $4, falling from
$187 per acre to $183.

I dont expect crop prices to improve a lot over
the next year, Plastina said. With profitability of cash
rented acres remaining tight over the course of 2016, I do
not anticipate seeing an increase in cash rent prices either.

Rental values were estimated by asking people
familiar with land rental markets what they thought were
typical rates in their county. Of the 1,585 responses received, 47 percent came from farm operators, 25 percent
from landowners, 14 percent from agricultural lenders, 12
percent from professional farm managers and realtors and
2 percent from other professionals. Respondents indicated
being familiar with a total of 2.5 million cash rented acres
across the state.

Cash rent survey results can be used as a reference point for determining an appropriate cash rental rate
for a particular farm, but a number of factors (such as small
size or unusual shape of fields, terraces or creeks that affect the time it takes to plant and harvest crops, high or low
fertility levels or pH index, or longevity of the lease) may
justify a higher or lower than average rent.

Southeast Valley prevails over Red Oak;

Jags come from behind to win big game

Wednesday, September 21, 2016

Enjoy the Ride!

Coach Swieter had good reason for gamble. . .

By Glenn Schreiber

The Southeast Valley Jaguars escaped with a
34-31 victory over Red Oak at Homecoming in Gowrie.

The Jaguars led 14-10 at the half and then increased their lead to 20-10 at the end of three. But Red
Oak kept coming back and took a few leads . But the Jags
came back to finally win at the end.

They say a win is a win and we will take it but
the coaches and players were not happy how we all performed, said coach Mike Swieter. This was a very ugly
game for the Jags who feel behind in the final minutes but
came back for the win.
Balanced offense
for SV Jaguars

The Jags did have a balanced offense for the
game, which has been lacking a bit this year.

Fullback Aaron Swieter rushed 14 times for 67
for two touchdowns yards and Kaleb Jondle ran 15 times
for 128 yards and one touchdown.

The passing was about equally as productive as
Dakota Jaeschke had four catches for 120 yards and Kaleb Jondle caught two passes for 39 yards. Nolan Johnson also had two receptions for 23 yards.
Jags rebound, but
Red Oak doesnt quit

After SV had 14-10 halftime lead, the Jags
stopped Red Oak cold twice. Then SV got its running
game going.

Swieter ran five times for 15 yards and then Dakota Jaeschke caught a 37 yard catch. Swieter concluded
the drive with a 10 yard run.

Things were looking good, said coach Swieter
as the Jags took a 20-10 lead at the end of three.

Red Oak then mounted an eight play drive concluded by a 24 yard TD run. The extra point was good.
Then Red Oak has a 14 play drive for another touchdown
and takes the lead 23-20.
Jags fight back

Kaleb Jondle had runs of 3, 4, nine and 13 followed by a 27 yard touchdown run. The Jags missed the
two point conversion but led 26-23.

The Jags scored another touchdown on a Swieter touchdown run. Jaeschke caught the two point conversion and SV had 34-23 lead. At that point the game
was over and the Jags had fought back well, said coach

Swieter.

Red Oak then fumbled the ball back with less
than 1:30 on the clock.
Coach Swieter regrets decision,
but he did have a good reason

This is the 1:30 Coach Swieter wishes he had
back. I know everyone is wandering what the heck I was
thinking by coming out and throwing the ball instead of
running out the clock, said Swieter.

The reason behind this is the state of Iowa has
a 17 point rule. If you win by 17 or more points it helps
you down the road for the playoffs.

Coach Swieter missed the playoffs by points
when he was at Lakeland and said he never wanted that
to happen again so I got aggressive and gambled.

Swieter said he 100% admits wrong in his
choice and I wish we could have that play over. Sometimes it is just better to take the win and not gamble like
we did.

Red Oak intercepted the ball and brought it back
to the 20 yard line. Coach Swieter said the next minute
was the longest of his life. All I could think was how
could I take the chance of them losing this game?

Of course Red Oak scored and makes the two
point conversion to make it a three point game (34-31)
and to make matters worse the Jags picked up a personal
foul and Red Oak get to kick the onside on our 45 yard
line.

They kicked it to the one guy they should not
have. Dakota Jaeschke picked it up and we won the
game. I made sure to thank Dakota for saving me from
having regret for the rest of his life.

Coach Swieter says everyone makes mistakes
and yep I admit this was one of mine and I am just glad
to still get the win.
Defensive stats

Kyler Jondle led in defensive stats with 14 solo
tackles and eight assisted tackles from his linebacker position. Alex Pliner had eight assisted tackles and three
solo tackles to rank second in that category. And Aaron
Swieter had seven assisted tackles and three solo tackles.
Jags start slow
but start scoring

The Jags scored in the first quarter with Kaleb
Jondle running for 39 which set up a 17 yard touchdown
pass from Nolan Brand to Dakota Jaeschke.

Red Oak bounced back to score a touchdown
and then a field goal to take a 10-6 lead.

After the Jaguars fumbled for a second time and
then Red Oak converting on field goal coach Swieter
wasnt happy. Things were falling apart and we did not
know what to do, he said.

With about one minute before half Nolan Brand
hit Dakota Jaeschke for a 63 yard touchdown pass.. Nolan Johnson ran in the 2 point conversion.

Coach Swieter isnt

happy about turnovers,
mistakes by Jaguars
Major improvements
needed says Coach. . .

Coach Mike Swieter thanked everyone who
came back for the SV Homecoming game. This is not
the performance we wanted to put on but we will take the
win any day, said Swieter.

We will take this win but we have major things
to improve. Our coaches are not happy with kids making
simple mistakes after mistakes. The boys need to carry
things over from practices to the games, affirmed Swieter.

We are hurting ourselves with the little things
we can fix. We also cant have four turnovers, drop passes, bad tackling and expect to win any more games. We
need to rebound fast and play like we did the week before.

Dayton Review

Webster Township, close to Dayton

Old Indian burying ground...

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

Benjamin Bell (1751-1853) is buried here. He
was 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 name inscribed on the tombstone is Lott and the date
is 1849. The shaft was dedicated in September 1911.

Mrs. Huntington Lott died of exposure following the Indian raid by Chief, Two-Fingers Sidominadota,
a Siseton Sioux. The date of this raid has been a point
of contention among historians for over a century. It is
believed Mrs. Lott moved out of the house to escape the
Indian raid that winter.

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. L. Lucas, who was present when the grave was
marked along with some of the old pioneers who had assisted in the burial.

Lott was the first settler in Webster County,
across the county line in Hamilton County, a stones
throw away, according to the account by Sarah Brewer
Bonebright who with her daughter, recorded the story of
the raid as told by the Lott neighbor, Minister Brassfield.

According to the census taken in the fall of 1850

in longhand by a federal Marshall shows Francis McQuire, 50, and his son-in-law Henry Lott, 42. Also recorded are the children of Mary and Jemina Lott; Henrietta, one year, and Lauretta, five months. Their son, John
(John Lott White) had not yet been born.

Henry Lott and Jemina McQuire were married
in Des Moines probably in late 1847 or 1848. Tax records
in Dallas County in 1848 show Henry Lott as the largest
owner of livestock in that area.

In 1847 a landlord of Lotts in Dallas County
purchased a side of beef which the purchaser said contained an arrowhead which Lott said was from the Indian
Raid.

Following the Indian raid in rural Dayton in
Lotts absence, Brassfield with the desperately ill Mrs.
Lott started for Ridgeport. (Mineral Ridge) to the doctor
(probably Dr. Lewis or Dr. Lucius Fitch). However, the
unfortunate woman died and was buried along the trail.

Returning later with the bereaved widower,
Henry Lott, who swore eternal vengeance against the
perpetrators of the raid. Mrs. Bonebright in her version of
the Brassfield story insists that if Mrs. Huntington Lott is
buried in the Vegors Cemetery it has to be a re-burial.

The earliest member of the Vegors family to
come to the area was Henry Vegors. He came on the return from his trip to the gold fields as a 49er. The earliest
date was 1850. Members of that family insist that the first
burial after a current death was Benjamin Bell in 1853.

This is the Grave of Benjamin Bell who fought
with George Washington in the Revolutionary War.

Iowa requires vision exam for kindergartners,

third graders: Prevent Blindness Iowa
Parents urged to check for certain symtoms. . .
To help put children on the path to a successful school
year, Prevent Blindness Iowa urges parents to address their
childs eye health needs. Prevent Blindness Iowa has declared August as Childrens Eye Health and Safety Awareness month to inspire parents to make their childs vision
health a priority.

According to data from the National Center for Childrens Vision and Eye Health at Prevent Blindness (NCCVEH), visual functioning is a strong predictor of academic performance in school-age children. In addition,
uncorrected refractive errors in infants and preschool-age
children are associated with developmental delays, as well
as with clinically identified deficits in cognitive and visualmotor functions that may in turn affect school readiness.

Vision problems can be treated successfully if detected
early. Vision screenings along with complete eye examinations are two critical ways to identify possible vision problems and get children connected to treatment.
Children generally do not complain about problems
with their vision. Eye problems that are not corrected may
lead to a permanent loss of sight. Steps parents can take to
ensure healthy vision include:

Watch your child while at play, and while looking at
books, pets or other people. If something does not seem
right, discuss this with your childs doctor.

Talk with your childs doctor about any family history of vision problems (such as lazy eye, a crossed eye,
use of an eye patch as a child to correct vision, or need for
eyeglasses with a strong prescription).

Ask at every well child visit if your childs eyes and
vision have been checked.

Ask for results of all vision screenings and make sure
you understand what they mean.

A vision screening conducted by your childs doctor,
daycare, or in their educational setting may result in a recommendation that he/she see an eye doctor to evaluate a
problem found during the screening. If so, be sure to make
and keep that appointment.

After the eye appointment, make sure all results are
sent back to your childs doctor, daycare or school, and a
copy is provided to you.

Unfortunately for many families, cost and access to eye
care is a limiting issue. The Affordable Care Act mandates
that all plans in the Health Insurance Marketplace include
vision coverage for children. In most states, that includes
one comprehensive eye exam and one pair of eyeglasses.

Prevent Blindness offers additional information and a
free fact sheet, The Affordable Care Act and Your Childs
Eyes. Or, visit the Prevent Blindness Vision Care Financial Assistance Information resource.
Vision requirements for school enrollment vary by
state. In Iowa incoming kindergartners and 3rd graders
are required to have a vision screening or eye exam. The
Childrens Vision and Eye Health report also includes information about state legislation for vision screening and/or
mandated eye exams.
Keeping childrens eyes healthy has been part of our
organizations mission since 1958, said Jeanne Burmeister, Prevent Blindness Iowa Executive Director. Our goal
is to provide parents and teachers with the tools and information they need to help ensure the vision health of our kids
today and well into their future.
For more information on childrens eye health and
safety, the NCCVEH, or eye care assistance programs,

THE Dayton
GOWRIE
NEWS
Review

Eleven patrons of the Gowrie Public Library
took a step back in time, as they enjoyed a presentation on the gangsters, Bonnie and Clyde. Rod Stanley,
a retired history teacher of thirty five years, delighted his
audience with a thrilling narrative style and numerous details of the infamous duo.

Stanley focused his talk on the crimes that took
place in Iowa although Bonnie and Clyde and their accomplices pursued a life of crime in other states as well.
Over the years, Stanley has granted 150 presentations
throughout Iowa, and its clear he has a genuine love of
the story. He explained that all the information he shares
was gained from eye-witness accounts.
Stanley admits he has faced criticism from some
who feel he is building them up, in other words, glorifying the lives of people who committed ghastly crimes,
including murder. However, Stanley assured his listeners
that Bonnie and Clyde truly were outlaws, and were responsible for the deaths of 13 people. However, he notes
that Dexter, Iowa, his city of birth, was the site of an historic shootout involving the pair, and this has remained a
staple of Dexter folklore to this day.
He explained there are several reasons why Bonnie and Clyde have become such legendary figures in history. First of all, they were quite young. Bonnie was married at the tender age of 16, and even had a tattoo on her
upper leg which read, Ray and Bonnie Forever, though
Bonnie only lived with her first husband for three months.

Ray was jailed, and Bonnie found her way into
Clydes arms even while still technically married to Ray.
Secondly, there may be a fascination with Bonnie, in particular, as she was an honor roll student and known for
writing beautiful poetry. Perhaps there is a desire to understand the downfall of such a promising student. Also,
their life of crime was intense, but fleeting. Bonnie and
Clyde were together from 1932 to 1934, and at their passing, reports of between 30,000 and 50,000 persons paying
respects to their caskets, was reported.
Throughout their pillaging in Iowa, Bonnie and
Clyde were part of the infamous Old Barrow Gang, and
they ran with two other young men and a young woman.
At age 23, Bonnie Parker stood just 4 8 and weighed a
mere 90 pounds. Her romantic interest, Clyde Barrell was
57 an weighed 135 pounds. They were joined in crime
with Buck Barrell, a brother of Clydes and Bucks wife,
Blanche, a preachers daughter. Rounding out the gang
was W.D. Jones, a young man of only 17 years. Jones
hadnt initially wanted to join the gang, but felt obliged as
he was present when Clyde shot an officer because he was
advised by Clyde he was an accessory to murder. Rod
Stanley explained that there have been different members
of the Barrow Gang over the years, but for this presentation, he wanted to focus on their life of crime in Iowa.

Stanley is particularly intrigued by their exploits
both in Dexter, and an abandoned amusement park area
just north of Dexter. He says people still find artifacts of
one of their infamous shootouts including live ammunition and trinkets such as buttons from the era. Stanley
explained that in the 30s this was a thriving place of entertainment . It cost just 10 cents for admission9 cents
to get in, and 1 cent tax for a World War I re-payment
fund.

It was rumored that the swimming pool, which
was part of the amusement park and filled by a natural
spring, had medicinal powers. However, an interview
with a former patron of the pool revealed that swimmers
had to be careful when they got in, as the bottom of the
pool was perpetually covered with a layer of slime due to
the fact the pool never received proper maintenance and
cleaning. To add to the woes, the outhouses for the pool
were positioned upstream of the pool on a steep hill. Despite this, those with arthritic knees and other maladies
swore by the healing powers of the pool.

The gangs entry into Iowa was precipitated by a
shooting in Platte City, Missouri at the Red Crown Motel.
The motel manager became suspicious when he observed
the gang had covered their rooms windows with newspapers. He called the police, and they arrived on the scene
accompanied by an armored car. Regardless, Clyde shot
out the window and hit the armored car driver in each leg.
The driver, desiring to escape gunfire drove away from
the motel door, and this gave the gang the chance to get
away, though not without serious injury. Also, their getaway car was riddled with bullets, but Clyde camouflaged
the damage by filling the bullet holes with mud.

Buck Barrow suffered a massive head wound,
and Stanley explained even his brain was visible through
his skull fracture. Blanche was injured in a hail of breaking glass, and a large piece of glass could not be extracted
from her eye. From this point, she required an eye patch.
The gang traveled up highway 169, eventually passing
through Mount Ayr.

The gang is credited for making successful getaways for several reasons. Most importantly, Clyde was
a good driver who could spot great cars to steal. He particularly loved Fords, as the models were quite fast due

to V8 engines. He could reach speeds up to 85 mph, as

compared to patrol cars that could only reach speeds of
60 mph or so. Additionally, the gang was known to break
into National Guard armories and steel weapons. They
were described as being armed to the teeth, and this was
another reason the gang was so successful at eluding capture.

Stanley focused much of his presentation on
the exploits of the gang as they hid out in the abandoned
amusement park north of Dexter. He said it was rumored
that Clyde must have been to the camping area previously
as it is set back in timber about a half a mile off the highway. The gang settled here on July 19th or 20th of 1933,
and remained for the next four days.

They loved coming to Iowa, explained Stanley. Iowa was like a second home, except that people
didnt know who they were, and they could come and go
as they pleased. Clyde frequented a restaurant in town,
taking out exquisite meals on real plates with real silverware. It was rumored he must have been a wealthy man
as he always pulled out a big wad of bills. He was also
known to purchase 50 pound blocks of ice in town. He
brought the ice back to the campground hideout so Buck
could use ice to reduce the swelling of his head wound.
It was said they also attempted to purchase morphine,
but the local pharmacist became suspicious when Clyde
couldnt produce his veterinary license, so Buck made do
with the aspirin and bandages Clyde was able to secure.
Additionally, the gang would pour hydrogen peroxide on
the open wound. Doctors who were interviewed after the
gangs capture reported the wound was pretty clean as
wounds go.

Clyde did have a brush with the law during his
time in Dexter. In a mens clothing store, he was waited
on by a man named John Love who was actually the town
constable. Clyde insisted on Arrow shirts, the most expensive in the store at a cost of $1.25 per shirt. He also
purchased pants, belt, and shoes, but when Love turned to
wrap up his purchase, he caught sight of Loves gun and
badge. Clyde made an impromptu excuse and left, with
haste, from the store.

So, if they were so great at eluding capture, how
did they get caught? Stanley asked his intrigued audience.

He explained it was the litter of bloodied gauze
bandages as reported by Henry Nye, who stumbled onto
the campsite while picking blackberries. He called John
Love, though Love reported this infamous campsite was
outside of his jurisdiction which was only 1 mile from the
town limits of Dexter. Additionally a girl scout troop encountered the band of criminals while taking a morning
hike. Maxine Hadley, the last surviving person to have
spoken to the infamous gang when she was 14 years of
age, is now 97 years old.

Gmorning, folks. How ya doing? is what she
recalled the startled gang saying.

Hadley says she didnt think anything of it until she saw the young pair enjoying refreshments in town.
She cant recall whether it was popcorn or ice cream, but
she does remember the young man leaning against the car
bumper enjoying a treat while the girl waited empty-handed in the passenger seat.

I remember thinking how rude that was that he
didnt share with the girl, recalled Hadley.

As suspicions about the campers grew, Sherriff
Knee formed a group of men from as far away as Oskaloosa to confront the Barrow Gang. They made plans at
Webbs Lunch Stand in Dexter, and eventually, as word
spread, the impromptu militia grew to 75-100 men. However, their stand against the gang was to be short lived as
they were confronted by a spray of bullets as they went
to investigate. In the melee, entire tree branches were
knocked to the ground, and one of these is on display at
the museum in Dexter. The Barrow Gang escaped capture, but not without serious injuryboth Bonnie and
Clyde were each shot three times, and Buck and W.D.
Jones were each shot once. Blanche was the only one not
injured.

Though Buck and Blanche were eventually captured, the rest of the Barrow Gang kept running. Eventually they came up a family farm. They encountered a
teenager by the name of Marvell Feller the next morning around 6:15. Marvell, accompanied by his father and
uncle, was heading toward pasture to summon cows for
milking. To their surprise, they encountered Clyde, whom
they describe as a short man, all bloodied and muddied.
He held a gun to Marvells forehead and said, The law
are shooting our heads off. Do you have a car? To which
Marvell responded, Well, we have three, but only one
runs. Clyde took humor at this response, but his temper quickened as Marvells dad nearly dropped Bonnie as
he was attempting to lift her over a fence. Adding to his
impatience was the sight of Marvells mother and young
sister arriving on the scene as well.

Marvell recalls Clyde profusely apologizing as
he, and W.D. and Bonnie piled into Marvells newly pur-

My Local Slant...
continued from page 2...
As Terry related the story to me I could sense him wince
towards the end of that story.

Two other class members died this past year and
several other class members are seriously ill. Shortly after graduation I purchased a 1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible from classmate Dan Turner who is now deceased.

I did ask Terry about Randy Reid. He isnt
coming, said Terry. I wasnt close to any person in my
high school class through school but I did have good
memories about Randy.

In grade school I did some fishing with Randy
on the Flambeau River. In Little League baseball we
were on the same team. I batted number three and he was
the cleanup hitter. His family moved to a home across
the highway from our home in Ladysmith. We both had
horses (in late elementary and through junior high years)
and we would ride our horses together in fields in back of
his home. I didnt think about it then but Randy was really a special friend.

And then in high school everything changed.
Randy started going steady with classmate Shirley Dietrich and he was in a different world. In a subtle way
I was excluded from his life.

After graduation there were eight of us (including Randy) attending River Falls State University (now
UW-River Falls). Randy had been an honor student in
high school and he was at River Falls for less than an year,
leaving early to reunite with Shirley. They got married
and several years after that they divorced. Randy remarried and he has nine children and nine grandchildren. I
hope I see Randy at some point, maybe at the next reunion.

I liked everyone in my class but I didnt have
close bonds with any one person. But having that one
phone call from Terry Wedwick induced me to attend
my class reunion and I will always remember Terry for
making that phone call. And Terry was calling everyone,
some four or five times. Our class is indeed fortunate to
have Terry who lived his life on the telephone for several
weeks calling his classmates.

Next week: Driving back to Ladysmith Wisconsin.

chased 1929 Plymouth. Marvell recalls seeing a gun lying beside the gang on the car seat, and wonders to this
day, what wouldve happened if hed attempted to attack
the gang. However, he notes that most likely his family
would have been killed. Clyde promised to return to favor
to the Marvell family someday, saying perhaps hed mail
something to the family, but to this day, Marvell reports
hes never received anything by mail.

In closing, Stanley explained the story of Bonnie
and Clyde is a fascinating story, not just due to the gangs
notoriety, but also because a gun fight took place in his
own home town. Although they were hardened criminals,
the wave of crime is an important part of the history of
northwest Iowa. He thanked those in attendance and welcomed questions from those who flocked around his table
to examine photographs.
