Paul Wolf, Farnhamville, inducted

into Iowa State Fair Hall of Fame

During the 2016 Iowa State Fair Draft and Pony
Show, Paul Wolf of Farnhamville, was inducted into the
Iowa Draft Pony Hitch Association Hall of Fame.

Paul has been a horseman his entire life beginning
with saddle horses. Familiar with the show ring Paul has
traveled to many fun shows, IASC and 4-H horse shows.
He is a past member of the Top Rail Saddle Club and has
enjoyed trail rides, wagon trains, and parades.

Paul often jokes as he gets older the horses are getting smaller. In 2004 he started driving when he purchased
a couple ponies that he and his wife Shirley could hitch to
a wagon and drive up and down the road at home. A friend
helped him and convinced him to go to a hitch pony show at
the Sac County Fairgrounds. He won enough to get bit by
the show bug. Thats when Paul says things got out of control! He had a new set of harness made, got a new wagon
and needed a bigger trailer to haul everything. That led to the
semi-tractor and trailer.

At the peak of Pauls showing career and with the

help of his daughter, Marcie, and her sons, Dalton and Logan, they traveled with eight ponies and two wagons. They
showed and even competed against each other in youth,
single cart, team, unicorn, and four-up hitch classes. Paul enjoyed driving the six-up and even drove all eight ponies at
the Boone County Fair in Belvidere, Illinois. During this time
the Wolf family along with their sorrel and white Shetlund
and Welsh ponies traveled throughout Iowa, Minnesota and
Illinois showing at multiple county and state fairs.

As Paul is getting older the Wolf Pony Hitch is
traveling to fewer shows. Paul has turned the lines over to
his daughter, Marcie, but will continue to enjoy watching his
ponies in the show ring. He teases his people that he is just
the truck driver.

The Hall of Fame award was presented in the arena
of the Jacobson Center during the Friday evening competition of the Iowa State Fair. The Wolf Pony Hitch competed
over three days in draft pony classes mixed within Percheron
and Clydesdale hitch classes.

Gowrie Police Chief being called

to SV High School most days
Fights, problems at High School. . .

Concerns regarding our youth took center stage
at the Gowrie City Council meeting held September
19. Police Chief, Patrick Monaghan, has been called
to the high school nearly every day this school year and
conditions are deteriorating outside of school hours as
well.

On Homecoming Night, September 17th, 4-5
calls were placed to police dispatch, alerting Monaghan
to at least three fights among students. According to
many, these calls place an undue burden on Monaghan as
he is sometimes the only patrolman available to respond

to the call. On Saturday night, two Webster County deputies were called in to assist, but they were summoned to
other calls within a half an hour.

We want citizens to be aware of how busy
he [Chief Monaghan] is, said mayor, Gayle Redman.
People must understand that concerns about less serious
issues, such as junk cars, are going to have to take a little
longer to address. He is only one person with only so
much time.

Chief Monaghan reports that not all the trouble
is generated by students who live in Gowrie and sur-

Six 4-Hers from Webster County exhibited at
the Clay County Fair recently.

Ben Carlson, son of Jim and Jennifer Carlson
and member of the Gowrie Groundbreakers exhibited his
market steer. Ben received a purple with his market steer,
earning District Champion Tall Steer and 4th place overall in the District Market Steer Show.

Jordan Johnson, daughter of Lacy and Brian
Johnson and member of the Dayton Tigers exhibited her
breeding heifer. She received a purple for her purebred
Angus heifer.

Jaedyn Condon of the Douglas Dreamers 4-H
club and daughter of Sara Scharf exhibited market lambs.
She received 1 purple and 3 blues with her market lambs.

Collin and Raechel Spangler, children of Scott
and Angie Spangler, members of the Nifty Newark 4-H
club, exhibited sheep. Collin received a Purple with his
breeding ewe and Raechel brought home a purple with
her market lamb.

Owen Oeltjenbruns, son of Brad and Lori
Oeltjenbruns and member of the Dayton Tigers received
a blue exhibiting his market lamb.
rounding small towns. Some troublemakers are coming
in from Fort Dodge, and may not even attend school in
the area, but may know others that do attend school in
Gowrie.

However, he does indicate that Southeast Valley
students are part of the problem as well, and explained
he has been summoned to address concerns such as girls
involved in physical fights on school property. Additionally, he is very busy with other police matters. For
example, on Homecoming Night he needed to address a
person on the roof of their home.

Were a small town, suggested Redman.
Perhaps we feel like we can rest on our laurels, but we
have to be proactive at combating these problems.

When asked to describe the problems plaguing
Gowrie, those in attendance suggested fights, drugs, alcohol, racial disharmony, and bullying. It was also noted
that the high school cannot discipline students for problems occurring off school property. There are some deterrents for athletes, such as the good conduct policy, but
of course, this only covers a small percentage of students.

Ive been very impressed with the superintendent, offered Chief Monaghan.

Redman suggested there are greater issues at
play as well, even beyond the immediate issue of fights.
This is just as big of a concern for our city as it is for our
school. Reports such as this may cause people to move
away.

But, on the positive, Mayor Redman praised the
efforts of Monaghan. Hes on it. Hes doing a great
job.

It seemed the consensus of those in attendance
that Chief Monaghan is swamped. The hiring of Matt
Burns as a reserve officer was discussed. Burns is willing to commute from Manson, and would continue to
serve the community of Manson as well as Gowrie.

Hed be a good fit here, suggested Monaghan.
Hes educated, and he knows what hes doing.

Redman concurred. I agree. Hes the best of
the ones weve interviewed.

Redman wished to move forward with a motion

In 1876 Gospel services

began near Lanyon
Started in Bishop Schoolhouse...

In the wet, muddy spring of 1876, Rev. A. Hallner began holding gopel services in the Bishop Schoolhouse near Lanyon. These meetings led by rev. Hllner
lead to a far reaching revival touching the very hearts of
the people in the community. Realizing a need for an organized church, a meeting was called for September 1,
1877 in the Lost Grove Schoolhouse. The purpose of this
meeting was to form a congregation and to call a "Christian preacher to preach the Word of God." nine solemn
men with a fervent love of the Lord were seated inside the
Lost Grove School house on this seasonal September day.
A fifteen-year-old boy (C.B. Johnson, who later became
paestor of the congregation), sat quietly in the corner
watching as his father J.W. Johnson and eight other men,
J.L. Awilson, Andrews Perry, A. Johnson, .A. Carlson,
CHas. Malmberg, Carl Peterson, J.P. Johnson and Aucust SChults, discussed how to bring the gospel of Jesus
Christ to their world. When the meeting adjourned the
evening, these nine men and their seven wives were the
original keepers of the faith in waht was named "The Lost
Grove Missionary Association" - A church home we now
lovingly call the Lanyon Evengelical Covenant Church.

The Lanyon church was built around 1910.

Perhaps Phil Ecklund, a Simi Valley, Calif. and
Gowrie, Iowa resident and whose family members as far
back as his Great Grandparents, were longtime members
of Lanyon Covenant Church, sums it up best, Just like
we have a natural lifewe are born, we live, and we die,
so too does a church, but its memories and its mission
continues.

For the members, both past and present, of the
Lanyon Covenant Church, these words ring crystal clear.
When asked to describe memories of this beloved church
and congregation, eyes sparkle and stories take flight, and
one thing is for surethough the church doors may close,
beloved life experiences will be shared for generations to
come.

The Lanyon Covenant Church, originally named
The Lost Grove Mission Church, celebrated a milestone
birthday on September 1st of this year. At 139 years old,
this is one of the oldest Covenant churches still active in
the U.S.

According to Ecklund, and a fellow longtime
member, Steve Gustafson, deciding to close the church
was a very difficult, yet a unanimous decision for the
church council in July of this year. Initially, the Lanyon
Covenant Church had tried to set benchmarks for fundraising, but ultimately, the church community was not
able to meet these goals.

In recent years, the population of both the town
of Lanyon and the church congregation has dwindled,
leaving the church unable to sustain the costs associated
with the church and parsonage. Additionally, several
prosperous church donors have passed away in recent
years, creating an immediate and unsustainable drain of
the churchs finances.

Currently, Ecklund and Gustafson estimate there
are around six homes left on Lanyons main street. The
town has a population of approximately 45-50 people including a few children. Residents of Lanyon receive their
mail at the post office in Harcourt.

The Lanyon Covenant Church was thriving in
the 1950s. So many families attended the church that a
new Sunday School wing was added on the west side of
the building. In contrast, during the 1959-1960 academic
year, the Lanyon School merged with Gowrie but some
students chose to go to school in Harcourt.

When the school left, this led to the demise of
Lanyon, agreed Gustafson and Ecklund.

However, it took a great deal of time for the
community to realize the impact of a school closure. For
a while, the church community in Lanyon continued to
thrive. These current population changes and membership decline are in sharp contrast to the memories of the
church in the 1950s to the 1970s. As Gustafson attests,
there was a very large youth presence in the church at this
time.

For many, their grandparents attended this
church, said Ecklund. Theres a lot of history here.

Though the closure of the church is a certainty,
it is hoped the church parsonage may find new life. Gustafson stated that the sanctuary has wonderful acoustics
and is quite beautiful.

The Midwest Conference of the Covenant Denomination in Omaha, Nebraska owns both the church
and the parsonage, and Ecklund estimates that if these
buildings were located in a more prosperous environment, such as Fort Dodge, the property could be sold for
$200,000 or more.

Members of the church are open to selling to a
buyer wishing to allow special events such as weddings,
receptions, funerals and other ministries. The overriding
concern is that that a potential buyer(s) needs to understand the practical concerns of maintaining this historic
property. Also, even if the septic system works, it must
be inspected and replaced upon sale. Additionally, another concern is the amount of asbestos in the building.
If the building is disturbed in any way, asbestos may be
released, potentially harming those in the area and therefore, requires inspection before the sale.

This is a wood structure and it needs a lot of
maintenance, said Ecklund.

Another, more drastic alternative, has been
sought by others in the area in similar circumstances. The
historic Swede Bend Church, the birthplace of the Covenant Denomination, originally located near Stratford, was
moved to the Twin Lakes Bible Camp.

The relocated structure still uses the original
kerosene lights and pump organ and has regular Sunday morning services. However, the moving of a church
building is such an unusual event, that the day the church
was moved, a concerned resident called the police. One
of Philip Ecklunds relatives, an attorney, was called to
verify that the moving plans for the church building were
legal.

Additionally, some churches have found new
life by serving a different purpose. For example, a Covenant Church in Ogden was transformed into a home.
Also, a church near Barnum was moved about a mile and
a half south and transformed into a home.

The stained glass windows in the church would
be a great find for a new owner. A hail storm in 1998
took out most of the windows on the north side. Church
members had to look through wedding photos in order to
restore the beautiful stained glass windows to their original splendor. Additionally, new carpet was laid and several pews were replaced.

Crappies in large schools

at Don Williams Lake

Don Williams Lake--Black Crappie - Fair: The
crappie bite is still good at Don Williams. Slowly troll jigs
in 12-20 feet of water. When a crappie is caught, continue
to fish that area as the fish are suspended in large schools.
Use 1/8 ounce jigs tipped with minnows or small white
or chartreuse twister tails. The upper half of the lake has
been best, but groups of fish can be found throughout.

Hickory Grove Lake--Black Crappie - Fair: A
fair crappie bite has been going at Hickory Grove. 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.

to approve the hiring of Burns, but was advised this was

not on the agenda for the meeting and would have to wait
for the next meeting. Redman agreed, but also indicated
that Chief Monaghan is covering a lot of weekend shifts
and the hiring of a new reserve officer would raise the
number in the force to four, thereby reducing the workload on Chief Monaghan.

In other police news, it was noted that the new
police car is now on the street. Work will now be complete on the other patrol car, such as the addition of a cage
for the back seat. Chief Monaghan discussed the benefits
of the Tracks program, a computerized program that allows an officer to quickly seek information, for example,
about a vehicles license plate without having to call dispatch.

I think its crucial for us, suggested Monaghan.
Also, it allows me to run plates a lot more and know
whos coming into town.

However, there are concerns that the program
costs $100 a month. It was asked if Gowrie could collaborate with Fort Dodge, for example, to try to reduce costs
of this program. However, since Gowrie is considered its
own municipality, the burden of paying for this rests with
the taxpayers of Gowrie. It was noted that Gowrie Police
arrested five additional people this year, just by running
plates through the system.

I think its quite expensive for the volume of
arrests in Gowrie, suggested resident, Gail McLoud.

Councilmember, Jeff Peterson suggested if
people consider this a hardship for small towns, such as
Gowrie, they should address this with state lawmakers
such as Krayenbrink and Sexton.

THE GOWRIE NEWS

After 50 years a few things remain

the same in Ladysmith, Wisconsin. . .

It was a very pleasant Saturday afternoon as I
drove to Ladysmith, Wisconsin for my 50th Ladysmith
High School class reunion.

I would be seeing many of these class members for the first time in 50 years and for several others
it would be the first time in 25 years as I attended that
milestone reunion.

We were driving north on Highway 27 through
Cadott, Cornell, and Lake Holcombe. Lake Holcombe is
a massive lake as both the Chippewa and Flambeau Rivers converge at this city and tourist area.

Driving north on Highway 27 one crosses a
bridge over the beautiful Flambeau River on the citys
south side. I made an immediate right turn and drove
into the drive of St. Johns Lutheran Church and its parsonage on the right. The church was constructed in the
early sixties and I was confirmed in this church and every
Sunday our family worshipped in this church.

I drove around the complex with its attached
gym/kitchen and Sunday school rooms. During the winter I often played basketball with my brothers and friends
there.

In the downtown area there were still some
stores/businesses there from my school years. But many
of the commercial buildings/businesses were gone.

The well known Gerard Hotel still overlooks
the Flambeau River in the downtown sector. Built in the
late 1800s, the three story, wood hotel is now a boarding
house, renting rooms by the week and month.

The old Pioneer National Bank building, dating
to the early 1900s, still stands proudly downtown. It is
no longer a bank as other businesses occupy the building.

Still in business is the Miner Theatre. I remember going to the Miner Theatre as a small boy to see
Bambi. There was a line of people for about a block
long outside waiting to see that movie in Ladysmith. The
theatre has a balcony where teenagers and couples would
usually occupy.

Gone downtown are Ditmansons Department
Store; two drug stores that had soda fountains; Grooms
Jewelry which had a record shop; Redwines Jewelry;
Gambles; Coast to Coast; Rubys Dress Shop; and two
dime stores. In our day the dime stores, or 5 and 10
stores like Ben Franklin, one could buy a certain amount
of items for a dime or nickle. Today we have dollar
stores where many things can be purchased for a dollar.

The American Inn & Bar was still there along
with the Theatre Lounge, Clarks Auto Parts, and Lambert Yards Building Supplies.

One of the most beloved businesses that is gone
is the Ladysmith Bakery. They had excellent bakery.
Many industries, such as a the Paper Mill, are also gone.

My father worked at the Soo Line Railroad for
43 years before retiring as the agent there. He worked at
the Soo Line Depot which is still standing but it is no longer used. There was a lot of freight business with the Soo
Line Railroad in Ladysmith in the fifties, sixties, seventies and into the eighties. The Soo Line still runs through
the town but it no longer employs a significant number of
people.

I drove past our home in Ladysmith where my
parents raised their family. I am one of three brothers and
we have one sister. We have great memories living in
our wonderful home with our wonderful, caring parents.
The home still has the same appearance and exterior but
several landscaping improvements have been made.

I drove to Tony (four miles west of Ladysmith
on U.S. Eight), and then took County I to Lake Flambeau
where our family had a cabin that was enlarged into a
lake home over the years. Mom and Dad sold their lake
home more than 15 years ago. The lake home has the
same exterior and it has a beautiful view of Lake Flambeau.

The boat docks are mostly the same with the
new owners adding an extension at one end. The boat
house is collapsing. It was constructed on barrels filled
with cement and extending over the lake from the shoreline. That is illegal construction today but it was not prohibited back then. The roof is covered by moss now, one
side has collapsed into the lake, and it will probably be
totally gone within the next year or two. It has survived
for more than four decades and was well used when we
owned the property. The harsh Wisconsin winters and
ice from the lake are taking their toll.

Accompanied by Mary Ann, we drove to Flambeau Lodge which is farther north on the Flambeau River
and just above Big Falls dam. It is a dirt/gravel road and

She later moved with her parents to a farm near Slifer,
spending her elementary school years at the Slifer Country School and then graduating from Somers Consolidated High School in 1940. Delsie was united in marriage
to N. A. Spive Erritton March 10, 1941 at Fort Dodge,
IA. Following her marriage, Delsie and Spive farmed the
Erritt Century Farm for 51 years. Fourteen years after
Spives death, she moved to Gowrie, living there until
August 2012 when she moved to New Hampton to be
close to her daughter.
Delsie loved music. She played the drums and trumpet in high school and sang in the choirs. She shared her
talents at many community activities, church, weddings,
and funeral services. She sang in the Fort Dodge Messiah
Chorus. Delsie shared her love of music with her children
and grandchildren.
Over the years, Delsie helped support her family with
many jobs. She was a nurses aide at Friendship Haven in
Fort Dodge, a waitress at Johnnys Truck Stop, the head
cook at the Cedar Valley Somers Schools and she loved
restoring and refinishing antique furniture with her husband, sharing her knowledge with 4H clubs. She was a
member of Slifer Church of the Brethren, a president of
the Ladies Aid, provided special vocal music for the services, and presided over many Sunday school openings.
She was a member of Eastern Star and Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Preceding Delsie in death were her parents; husband;
sister, Lois Irene Malloy and an infant brother, Lee Arlen
Harding. Those left to cherish her wonderful memories
are her daughters, Charlotte Ann (Robert) Atwater of

the area is heavily forested for most of the route doing

to Flambeau Lodge. As a family we would go there for
meals and beverages. In Wisconsin, by the way, families
in our time went to bars and bar restaurants as a family.
The dads would have a beer, the children would have a
pop, and Moms had their routine too. And there was
always plenty of conversation with the people at those
establishments.

Flambeau Lodge is often a destination for people canoeing down the Flambeau (through white water
rapids) from points north and up-river. One such spot is
occupied by Big Bear Lodge where I have been numerous
times but there wasnt enough time to go there this year.

Flambeau Lodge today looks better than ever.
A deck has been constructed on the side facing the Flambeau. The campsites in front have been removed but the
lawn area is really nice. It appears that the cabins that
were once rented have been sold.

I drove back to Ladysmith. It was time to attend the social hour at the Tee-Away Supperclub and golf
course. I had a nervous moment or two and I just felt
dubious about attending.

But I had a great phone conversation with classmate Terry Wedwick a few weeks prior and I was so encouraged by our conversation. I drove to the Tee-Away
and as we walked to the front a few classmates were there
to greet us.

Next week: Stepping back into time with my
classmates.

How to Create your Emergency

Fund and When to Use It...

Creating a structured savings plan is one thing that
can set apart the financial dreamers from the financial
doers! By setting strict guidelines to your goal, and
ensuring the correct follow through with a backed
up savings plan, you can be certain of your success
in accomplishing your future achievement! One of
the biggest obstacles in these plans is the unforeseen,
and there is a way to manage even that. Using a wellrounded emergency fund can ensure that you dont
dip into saved funds for unexpected costs such as auto
repairs, or medical emergencies. Want to get started
setting up your emergency fund today? Follow these
simple steps and youll be on your way to financial
success!

1. Open a dedicated savings account.

2. Deposit Funds each month without withdrawing
anything.

3. Start by saving $1000.
Next save 3 months worth of income and expenses.
Finally maintain 6 months worth of income and
expenses.

The reason you have this fund is simple, to prepare
for the unprepareable. Whether its an unanticipated job
loss, a costly home repair, or other unplanned expenses,
your emergency fund can help you stay afloat when the
waters get rough.
The main objective of this account is to have
it work for you and your needs! By specifically
determining what you define as an emergency (job
loss, vet bills, auto repairs) and what doesnt (last
minute birthday gift, broken TV, new clothes) you can
generate a structured list to know when you feel safe
using those funds, and when perhaps its best to leave
them untouched. The idea of the emergency fund is to
have it when you need it. By gaining access easily via
checkbook or debit card, you can make use the account
more quickly when the unexpected strikes.

By generating your own emergency fund you can
continue to save for milestones and pay bills, without
worrying about the what ifs that lie along the road to
the future. Get started with your emergency account
today to get to your next savings goal!

Where were you?

Where were you, and what were you doing on
the morning of September 11, 2001? Is it a day you will
never forget? I thought it was but then as with all things,
good and bad, times seem to dim and it often takes a mind
jogger to bring back. Perhaps we dont care to remember
or the thing that happened was just not so significant to us
-- but
9-11? Did you remember it this year or did it take news
reports to bring it back?

I have to admit it sneaked up on me this year, not
because I dont want to remember but because life goes
on and there are other things to attract me and get my
attention. This year the day was on a Sunday and in our
church neighborhood there was an afternoon celebration
of the SW 9th St. corridor and our church participated
by giving out information about our church as well as
free snow cones and popcorn. Most businesses and other
entities had some sort of colorful display/handout/entertainment and numerous people to greet and tell about
their establishment. Our church is on a corner and thus
the powers that be honored us by placing a kybo on
our property not aside on the corner but exactly in front
of our church sign with all its beautiful, colorful flowers
for which we often receive compliments. I guess they
wanted people to have it handy.

But it was the fifteenth anniversary of that fateful day and I know over lunch with some friends and during pre-forum/pre-church times many of us recalled what
we were doing that morning. It was a minor election day
(dont recall which one) in Des Moines. My usual routine at that time was to get ready to go up to church and
stop at the then Dahls store in our neighborhood, grab a
paper and have a cup of coffee and perhaps a donut.

There were the usual morning coffee people sitting around the horseshoe shaped counter. On my way
over my radio was on and I had heard something about a
plane taking off from a New York City airport and evidently having trouble and believed to have crashed into
one of the twin towers. I asked if anyone had heard about
that.
Nobody had and their usual everyday conversations went
on. I checked out Dagwood and Blondie, Dear Abbie,
various headlines and had my repast. That was less than
half an hour. Getting back into my car the radio was really blaring by that time and I just sat there for a short
time trying to absorb what I was hearing from the almost
agitated voices of reporters.

Proceeding on to the church and greeting the
ladies manning the election sign in table in our narthex
the conversation immediately went to the crash which
quickly became crashes and evident that they were no
accident. How horrible! Was this happening in OUR
COUNTRY?? Pastor Chet went downstairs and brought
up a small TV to our office and our secretary, who lived
a short way from the church, went home and got another
small one to set up for the elections people. Needless to
say, no work was done in our office as our eyes and ears
were glued to the TVs. Few people voted that year and
the ones that did stopped to look at the TV and make their
comments before heading back home to their own sets.
Telephones jangled and conversations took place but
eyes remained fixed on TV. Little work was done over
our whole city; need I say, our whole country and probably the whole world? I am sure those of us who were
alive and adult will remember all our lives and I hope
that it gets into our history books and studied. Things
have not been the same since in our country throughout
the world since that day. It is probably one of the things
that had more impact worldwide than a lot of others that
preceded it and I hope and pray that something like that
never happens again anywhere.

That evening there was to have been a citywide meeting of Lutheran churches in the city with the
Bishop. Since the host church was already prepared with
the supplies for the evening meal for attendees we gathered for that but no discussions of the topics which were
to have taken place. Instead, following the meal we all
went into the sanctuary for a service led by Bishop Hougen. In addition to the original delegates others in the
community were invited to come to the service. Bishop
gave a very comforting, inspiring message, appropriate scriptures were read, hymns were sung and many
prayers offered. Did it help? Of course it did but still we
understood there was a big, big healing that would take
years maybe never.

Let us make sure this is in our history books.
Let us not forget. Let us use this as an alert. I dont think
Ill ever forget.

Our Security

Have you ever been to a large city and seen a

window washer seemingly hanging on the side of the
building washing windows? Ive often thought boy,
I could never do that!. They seem so confident in their
work, hanging there approximately 200 or more feet from
the street. They seem secure because they know that their
safety harnesses are fastened to the building itself and
their harnesses will hold even if the platform should fall.
Some of our jobs can be lived on the edge, with confidence like that. When we give our lives to Jesus Christ,
He becomes our safety and our security. Because of Him,
we can risk living life to the fullest and be all that we
were created to be. He keeps us secure, even though life
is often insecure. He is our lifeline and we feel secure
even though we get disappointed, even though we may
feel the bottom has dropped out of a particular situation.
How about you? Do you have security for the events of
the day, no matter what challenges and dangers you may
face? Maybe you feel you have today covered, but what
about tomorrow? Why not try living life with Christ one
day at a time for a life thats secure and yet full of excitement?

Prayer: Lord, thank You for the security You
give us. Help us to place our trust in You day after day!
In Jesus Holy Name, Amen
Always Fresh
and Crispy,
Right from the
Headlines!
We put the
MOCK in
Democracy!

The Capitol Steps are what Washington would be

like if everyone were smarter and could sing.

Iowa farmers planted about 64,000 more cover
crop acres funded through state and federal incentives in
the fall of 2015 compared to fall 2014 a 22 percent increase.

Cover crops planted in Webster County totaled
3,108. Cover crops planted in adjacent/area counties
totaled: Calhoun County, 2,452; Boone, 3,533; Green,
1,411; Hamilton, 2,088; Pocahontas, 5,988; Humboldt,
1,809; and Story, 2,640.

Iowans planted 291,267 cover crop acres last
fall compared to 227,256 in 2014 with help from state
and federal conservation programs. The numbers include
funding from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and
Land Stewardship (IDALS) through the Water Quality
Initiative (WQI), State Cost-Share, and local watershed
projects. USDAs Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides farmers assistance for cover crop
through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program
(EQIP) and the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP).

Cover crops such as cereal rye, winter wheat and
hairy vetch are helping farmers provide ground cover and
living roots in the soil throughout the year. This helps
improve soil health, water infiltration, and soil biology,
reduce soil erosion and weed competition, trap excess nutrients in the soil, and even provide livestock grazing.

Barb Stewart, state agronomist for NRCS
in Iowa, credits the increase in cover crop acres to the
amount of outreach and education to famers from conservation groups throughout the state, along with more
farmers paying attention to soil health and water quality

the past several years.

A few years back many farmers were more
careful, experimenting with 10- and 20-acre cover crop
plots, said Stewart. Many of those farmers are now
planting hundreds of acres of cover crops, and even
growing and harvesting their own cover crop seed.

Washington County in southeast Iowa stands
out in total acres planted in fall 2015, with twice as many
(19,974) than any other Iowa county through conservation programs. District Conservationist Tony Maxwell,
who runs the NRCS office in Washington, says the conservation culture has a lot to do with their success. We
have a long history of early adoption of conservation
practices, like no-till, said Maxwell. That has made the
transition to cover crops much easier.

NRCS and IDALS are both anticipating cover
crop acres to increase by about 15 percent next year in
Iowa, based on 2016 program signups. We continue to
see interest in cover crops grow, said Iowa Secretary of
Agriculture Bill Northey, both from farmers brand new
to the practice as well as those who have been doing it for
a couple years.

Northey says even in challenging economic
times in agriculture, farmers are seeing the benefits cover
crops provide and putting their own money toward cover
crops and other practices focused on protecting water
quality and improving soil health.

For more information about cover crops and
other practices and programs to help address natural resource concerns on your land, visit your local USDA Service Center for planning assistance.

tackles, four assisted, and one tackle for loss; linebacker
Kyler Jondle, 2-6-and one tackle for loss; and defensive

The backups and JV got to play most of the
fourth quarter noted coach Swieter.
Southeast Valley play
another 2-1 team

We have a few things we got to clean up, said
coach Swieter. He said the Jags need to improve on
kickoffs and penalties.

This week we have a huge game with Underwood, said coach Swieter. Both teams are 2-1 in District play. We need to enjoy the win but also need to
start preparing for Underwood, said the coach.

Callender family owned Kesho area

in the early years; bustling town

In 1869 the first records show that a settlement
called Kesho (later Callender) was made along the Des
Moines Valley Rail road that went to Fort Dodge. A depot was built but because of lack of business was moved
to Tara by rail. Another depot was built in 1875 and was
used until about 1960. After standing idle all these years,
it was torn down in 1973.

In 1875, Agnes and James Callender of New
York owned all of Kesho and much of the surrounding
area. In 1896 a train load of relatives from Buckingham,
ILL., came to Webster County and settled in the Kesho
area. They included the Heggen and John Wing families.

The first school was held in the Anton Hanson
home and the second was held in 1876 in the Eli Bean
Grocery and Dry Goods store.

About this time the citizens of Kesho decided to
move to the west side of the tracks and change the name
of the town to Callender, after the founder. They donated
the area which is now the park and school grounds--also
the area where the Town Hall and three churches were
located.

The town began to grow. A larger school was
needed so the first one was built in 1880.

In 1892 they organized the Callender Independent District. It continued to grow. In 1898 a new building was erected which was to serve, after remodeling in
1919, until 1936. At this time a large brick structure was
erected with W.P.A. help and in 1957, it had to be enlarged.

In the spring of 1962, the last Callender High
School class held graduation commencement exercises.

On July 1, 1962 the Prairie Community School
System was officially formed, combining Callender,
Moorland, Gowrie, and Lanyon schools. In 1965 more
classrooms were added to the school.

The first blacksmith was Ole Larson, father
of Lewis H. Larson, whose shop stood for a short time
where the east side of Schuster Grocery once stood.

Later blacksmith work was done by Merril and
Old Thorsrud followed by a Mr. Castle, Sprague Davis,
Whitten, Munson and Slagle.

Callender had a cop of its own. In early days
there was a jail behind the town hall. Later a cell or compartment was made in the back part of the clerks office.
This was built in the late 20s or early 30s after the big
fire of 1923.

One of the first justices of peace was H. M. Ult-

ang who also was mayor.

One of the most popular citizens of the town in
early 1900s was Sam Bollinger. He was considered the
smartest man in town as he taught school. He gave legal
advice and anyone who needed advice would go see Sam.

Then too, Benny Farber with a little wagon and
ponies, would come in the summer months and go into
the country and buy junk. Hed pile it by the stockyards
and ship it out.

A newspaper called the Callender Times was
established in 1892. Its first editor was A. A. Rasmusson
who sold it to a Mr. Libby who in turn edited it for a few
years and then sold it to a man in South Dakota.

Callender also had a flour mill which was built
and operated by N. C. Rasmussen. The mill was located
where the old Callender Elevator used to have their office.

POET Biorefining - Gowrie, Iowa

Swanson
Florists
in business 80 years

In 1983, the Broin family started producing ethanol on of a small farm-scale operation in Wanamingo, Minnesota. They observed valuable farmland going unused while the nation was importing
millions of barrels of oil. Wanting to make a difference on a commercial level they purchased an ethanol
plant in Scotland, South Dakota, out of foreclosure in 1987 marking the beginning of Broin Companies.
The company kept that name until March 2007 when POET brought the Broin entities under one strong
identity.

POET is a fully-integrated biofuels company, orchestrating the development, design, engineering,
construction and management of ethanol production facilities and then marketing the products. In nearly
three decades on the job, POET has developed an unmatched record in technology, innovation, process
reliability and plant efficiency that reaps more value from a bushel of corn than anyone in the industry.
There are 28 POET plants in seven states (Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and South
Dakota) with a combined annual production capacity of more than 1.7 billion gallons, including the plant
right here in Gowrie. POET Biorefining Gowrie opened in 2006 and is designed to produce 69 million
gallons of ethanol annually and consumes approximately 24 million bushels of locally-grown corn.

We are proud members of our community. In
2016, POET Biorefining Gowrie contributed to
the Gowrie 4th of July celebration, the Gowrie Fire Department, Dayton Rodeo, Stewart
Memorial Hospital, Webster County Cattlemen and Pork Producers, area festivals, among
dozens of other organizations in our local area.

POET Biorefining Gowrie also hosted Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump. During his visit, Trump visited with POET leadership and representatives
from Americas Renewable Future. He also held a question and answer session with our
team members and went into the plant for a quick tour.

Thank you to each and every one of you for your continued support of our
facility. I am very proud of the team we have here and am grateful for our network of
farmers and supporters that help make our operations possible.
